Rainbow Dash flew down from Cloudsdale, her black dress flowing in the wind.
Everypony surrounding her was in black, remembering Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor. Rainbow Dash would've never worn a dress, but it was all for her friend. Everypony watched as Rainbow Dash landed on the ground. She barely ever touches the ground when she's in Ponyville. She's always soaring in the sky. Rainbow walked to the ceremony, a neutral expression on her face.
When she arrived she found Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike. Spike was wearing a small black suit with a white corsage while everypony else was wearing a black dress, just like Rainbow. As Rainbow Dash sat down next to Pinkie, Pinkie noticed her presence but she wasn't acting her normal, crazy self. She hung her head down in respect, sniffling. Rainbow watched as tears fell down from her face and onto the ground. She watched as the one small tear splattered all across the floor. That's probably how Twilight died. One small pony, a giant burst of blood and bones... The blue pegasus thought. As she finished her melancholy thoughts, Princess Celestia and Luna appeared onstage. "May we all bow our heads in remembrance of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor, for they were the most brave ponies out of all of us combined. They sacrificed their lives for us..." Princess Celestia spoke. Rainbow lowered her head, trying her hardest not to let the tears come bawling out. "Princess Luna, may you please start our song?" Celestia asked. Rainbow Dash could tell that Princess Celestia, too, was trying to hold her tears in. But she noticed one slip as the princess shut her eyes closed.
Everypony started to join Luna's song, one by one. Eventually every single mare and colt were singing along. Except for Rainbow. She looked all around noticing that, literally, everypony was shedding tears and singing. Even her friends. A tear slid down her cheek but she quickly wiped it off. She couldn't let anypony, even her friend, see how she is feeling right now. Rainbow is known as one of the most bravest and boldest ponies, besides Twilight and Shining. Her neutral expression appeared back on her face. She stared straight ahead, trying not to notice anypony crying, otherwise, she would start crying, too.
"Thank you, Luna, for the beautiful song..." Luna nodded her head and walked off stage to sit down next to Rainbow Dash. "Now, I would like to say some things..." Everypony's sniffles and sobs became silent as Celestia opened her mouth to speak. "Shining Armor. He was one of the most loyal royal guards at my castle. He would never be late to any meetings, and he treated his wife ever so sweetly." Rainbow looked back at the crowd. She noticed that Cadence wasn't sniffling and sobbing with the others. "And Twilight. She was like a daughter to me. She was my true faithful student. She was very smart and talented. She would never let me down..." Celestia lowered her head and sniffled. "Their parents were very lucky to have filly and a colt like them. You could always count on them... No matter what..." Rainbow couldn't take it anymore. All this sappy stuff was too much. She got up from her seat and flew off, tears in her tracks. Fluttershy tried following her, but Rainbow was just too fast for her. Rainbow Dash cried all the way back home to Cloudsdale, remembering what Celestia said about Twilight and Shining Armor. "You were the best friend anypony could have Twilight..."
