Rainbowdash woke up to the sound of two things birds from the outside and twilight making breakfast.She thought about her options she could go back to bed but end up with a cold breakfast or she could get up be a little jet lagged that day but hang out with twilight before she had leave for...she got out of bed.Ruffling her feathers and stretching out her legs while yawning.All of a sudden she heard crying in the kitchen.She quietly crept out of the room She saw the twilight sitting on tge floor with a plate of hot food on the table but instead of getting up to go eat the plate of steamy food she cried on the floor with her wings wrapped around her while her shoulders were shaking,hooves rubbing her eyes twilight wasn't crying she was downright sobbing Rainbow,taken by shock gently asked "twi? are you ok?" Twilight jumped from surprise her wings puffed out "Oh Rainbow!I-Im fine!I just got pepper in my eye is all!" Twilight explained Rainbow knowing this was a downright lie qustionly said "Really? First of all you don't sob from getting pepper in your eye if you weren't crying your wings wouldn't be wrapped around you like that.Secondly you hate pepper with your eggs."Twighlight still rubbing her eyes paused for a moment,not knowing what to say Rainbow knowing her marefriend was uncomfortable she walked over there and hugged jer with her wings gently wrapping around the purple alicorn.Twilight just buried her face into Rainbows fur and sobbed her chest heaving and her ears down while her hooves clung tightly to Rainbow.This kept going for 5 minutes Rainbow knew why Twilight was crying but she still asked "Twi whats wrong?" Twilight whimpering between sobs choked out "I d-dont want you to leave! I-I know t-thats s-selfish b-but I c-cant help i-it!" Rainbow,feeling the corners of her eyes tear up said softly "I-I know its not selfish twi im going to miss you too it'll be ok!" They had gotton the news a month earlier a letter had came in the mail with a royal stamp on it,Surprisingly it was not for Twilight but for Rainbow!Twilight and Rainbow read it together
Dear RainbowdashAs i'm sure you know we have been fighting this war against the changling army for a very long time 5 years exact we know this a lot to ask but we have lost too many Pegasus warriors this year we are running out of ponies to help our cause and time to find more ponies for help.Now we do not expect you to say yes,we would not ask you if there was any other way,But please make your decision before we run out of time.But please think of equestria.with apologetic thoughts-Celestia and LunaAlong with the letter came a sheet with questions and schedule for training and the departure.They later found out Big Mac and Applejack got the letter the same day.Twilight eventually wiped away her last tears as Rainbow let her go gently.Neither of them knew what to say eventually Rainbowdash gently kissed twilight on her nose and said "Lets not spend today crying lets do as much as possible before I have to go alright?" Twilight gave a small smile and said "Alright lets go before we run of time."
