Yes We Can
Final Chapter
Previous ChapterThe next day, Thunder woke looking forward to seeing Gilda. However, when he arrived down in Ponyville, he saw neither Rainbow nor Gilda. Thunder grew worried. He searched for Rainbow but Gilda was most important. He hurried over to Griffonstone and saw Greta, whom he only saw once before.
“Hi there, do you know where Gilda’s place is?” Thunder asked. Greta simply pointed towards a small Griffon house.
“Great! Thanks!” Thunder said smiling at Greta. Greta simply smiled back and looked at Thunder as he galloped towards Gilda’s house. Inside, Gilda was sniffling. Thunder knocked.
“N-no...go away…” Gilda said sniffling.
“Gilda...it’s me...Thunder...what’s wrong?” Thunder asked feeling the ache in his heart.
“I don’t wanna tell, now just...leave me alone!” Gilda whined louder, her “tough girl” side showing a little amongst her crying.
“Please Gilda, I’m here to help. I came as fast as I could. I want to come in…” Thunder said.
“Fine…” Gilda grumbled as she got up and unlocked the door.
Thunder came in and saw Gilda, who appeared broken. He came close and hugged her, reminding her of the warmth they shared the first day they met. Gilda sniffled. Part of her wanted to resist the hug and revert to her previous mentality. However, a part of her yearned for more love amidst her circumstances.
“It turns out some...stupid teenage griffons overheard rainbow and I talking about you and I together. They then teased about it and called their friends to heckle us as Rainbow was about to leave...there I was being the one bullied...for what? Having feelings for somepony like you…” Gilda said sniffling and beginning to sob, hugging Thunder close. Thunder sighed.
“Gilda...a relationship isn’t easy, but the fight is worth it. Once I felt that warmth when we snuggled the first day...I knew it right then and there...the stars had already been rewritten…” Thunder said gathering some electricity. He then made his prized lightning necklace he got from flight camp appear from the blue.
“Wh...what’s that?” Gilda asked.
“It’s my flight camp necklace for best flyer of the camp...I...I want you to have it...because in life...taking flight to opportunities is a very hard thing to do...but...from what I’ve seen...you took flight...and earned yourself a new coltfriend.” Thunder proclaimed putting the necklace around Gilda’s neck.
“Oh Thunder..” Gilda said as tears welled up in her eyes. She then lunged forward hugging Thunder tightly.
“Th-thank you…” She said amidst her tears and sobs of joy. Just then, the door opened and Rainbow flew in.
“You won’t believe what…” Rainbow then gasped at the sight. Thunder and Gilda were hugging each other lovingly, with Thunder’s necklace around Gilda’s neck.
“I...I don’t believe it…” Rainbow said. Thunder and Gilda looked up at the dumbfounded Rainbow.
“What? You do know that love has no boundaries...right?” Thunder asked. Gilda smiled at Rainbow. Rainbow smiled back.
“I knew you could do it Gilda...take that flight, rewrite the stars and look at you now!” Rainbow said looping joyfully.
“Hey you stole that from me!” Thunder teased. Rainbow let out a nervous giggle.
“Sorry…” She said blushing.
Both Gilda and Thunder giggled at Rainbow, who was blushing quite a bit. And it was on the course of those three days, that the message of boundless love was spread all throughout Equestria. No matter how different two people...or two creatures are, love has a place and love will truly...rewrite the stars and conquer all.
Author's Note
Interspecies relationship can be compared to interracial relationships. This is due to the lifestyles and how each person carries themselves. To make a comparison, the heckling teenage griffons could be compared to people who feel that other races "don't deserve to have a relationship with someone of their own race because they are superior". This and other thoughts of prejudice could cause damage.
