Memories Long Forgotten

Discord was having feelings of déjà vu, once again as he watched the ponies converse he seemed to be
missing something but he didn't know what. Pinkie's boyfriend really was pathetic, ever since he had
grabbed him and brought him to this cave the coward had done nothing but beg for his life and whine.

Suddenly Discord realized that the stallion had gone quiet, looking over he was shocked to see a look
of calm and composure on the cyan unicorn. "Goodbye Pinkie you gave me the best days of my life."
What had just happened? Then they were all surprised as Sonic started to fade away till he disappeared
completely. "What just happened! where did he go!?!" Discord shouted, this was not how things were
supposed to go!
"Haven't you ever seen a unicorn give up on their will to live before?" Twilight asked in a sad voice.
"What, your telling me he killed himself?"
"Not killed, just let himself go till there was no more" Twilight answered, behind her, Twi's friends gasped
in shock, she hated doing this to them but Twi knew that their actions had to be genuine to trick Discord.
Tears were running down her face further adding to the believability of her explanation, never would he
guess the true sorrow that made her cry.
"Twilight Sparkle don't think this ruins anything for me, you aren't gonna trap me again!" The air where
Discord had been returned to normal.

Not wasting a moment Twilight turned to her friends,"Dash, Rarity come with me, Fluttershy and
Applejack take Pinkie outside and make sure she has a good view of the cliffs"
"wait a minute, was that true what you said about Sonic?"Applejack asked, Pinkie once again crying
on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry I don't have time we need to move fast, Discord could show up at any minute"reluctantly
her friends agreed with her and got into motion.

"Where are we going?"Dash asked as she followed Twilight out of the library with Rarity
"I need you to do a sonic rainboom Dash"
"Why? what's this gotta do with suppressing Pinkie's memory? why didn't you do that in the
library right now if we're in a hurry?"Dash pestered.
"Because I can't just suppress them now, I need the right conditions or she still won't be our Pinkie
Pie. When her mind starts to take away the memories it will start with the dormant related ones and
work it's way up sealing whatever she was currently welling on, in the normal way this happens the
worst memories would be locked away last meaning they were the closest to the surface. This would
mean that the feelings associated with those memories would seep through the suppression now and
then poisoning the mind, causing negative actions and emotions. Pinkie was special though, cause
of your sonic rainboom long ago, the process was interrupted and she was refocused on all the good
times, so that all the the love, affection and joy would seep through making her a better individual. We
need to recreate this event when I cast my spell, so I need you to go out to the cliffs and on my signal.
make a sonic rainboom Dash."Twilight finished both friends looking at her, eyes wide in wonder.
"You can count on me!" Dash said snapping out of it and taking off, then stopping,"What's the signal?"
"You'll know it when I send it, don't worry"
"Okay see ya!"and she was off in the distance in no time.
"What do you need me for?"Rarity asked.
"To help create fake memories, but first we need to get some stuff from your place"Twi said cryptically.

Sonic stayed perfectly still, he wasn't sure exactly how good of an effect his invisibility spell being cast
at such a slow rate had been. It seemed to have worked though, Discord had left in a foul mood, but
Sonic had stayed still, in his travels he had learned patience and had now stayed like this for over an
hour. At the cave entrance Discord suddenly peered in and looked all around then finally let out a
vexed noise and left again. Sonic finally let out a sigh of relieve and dropped the spell, still cautious
he headed out of the cave and was soon on his way back to town.

They were all in position. Dash was resting high on the cliff face, conserving energy for what she was
about to do when she heard twilight's voice in the back of her head,"Go!"
Dash took off, higher and higher she flew till she was satisfied that she had enough room.
Angling down she was soon diving to the ground gaining speed steadily a slight thrill at the feeling
rushing through her.
She was now going so fast that her lips had started to be pulled back and she felt a cone of air in front
of her hooves.
"Watcha doing Dash?"
Surprised, Dash miraculously managed not to react and ruin her momentum.
"This really doesn't seem safe"Discord what micro teleporting keeping up with Dash.
"Just go away"she manged to get out of her clenched teeth.
"Well that's just rude, I come to make sure your alright and you tell me off, you really need to improve
your manners Dash."
Dash did her best to ignore him.
"Extreme level of speed racing for the ground, your not like that cyan unicorn are you Dash, I thought you
were better than that" Discord tsked
Dash concentrated on her speed.
"You don't seem to be able to see the danger your in Dash, here let me help you."Discord said snapping
his fingers.
Dash's eyes widened in shock as the ground suddenly jumped up closer.
"There much easier to see now, I just had to bring it closer"
Dash was starting to panic, looking at the distance she still had enough room to cause the sonic rainboom
but she needed a second after it to change direction and she'd hit the ground a split second after. She
was about to abort when she suddenly thought of Pinkie, all the great times she had with the frazzled
haired pony, then she thought of her friend now and how it was up to her to bring her back. Her friends
needed her and she wasn't gonna let them down no matter the cost. Panic was replaced with determination.
"Dash I see your still set on your destructive course sadly so I guess this is farewell, I'll say something
nice at your funeral"Disorder said as he disappeared.
Dash wanted to make a witty come back but was going to fast to talk.
The cone of air stretched tighter and dash could feel resistance as the ground rushed up to meet her. 'This
is it' she thought as she closed her eyes and thought hard about how she wished she couldn't told her
friends goodbye,'Goodbye! thanks for always being there for me'. Then she felt the air in front of her tear
open and her front hoofs hit the ground.

"What is she doing!"Applejack shouted frantically.
"I don't know?"Rarity answered absently unable to focus on anything but Dash's plummeting form.
"Why would she do that! what's she thinking?"Applejack was on the verge of tears.
No one answered no one could, then she heard it in the back of her head and by the way her friends tensed
up they musta heard it too,"goodbye, thanks for always being there for me' Applejack heard in Dash's
unmistakeable tone and then there was a thunderous boom.
"RAINBOW DASH!"Applejack screamed.

A thunderous boom was heard for miles around and a circular rainbow stretched in all directions across the
sky, a beautiful testament to an amazing cyan pegasus who would be remembered forever for her greatness
and loyalty.
