EPILOGUE:
The ponies stood before Dash's grave marker. It was carved like most other markers in the cemetary, but a pair of wings and a rainbow had been carved in the top, as well as her name and birthdate. Each pony had a gift with them, all something of Dash's. "Well, ponies, let's do this." AJ said. Twilight stepped forward and set Dash's Harmony necklace on the grave. "Thank you Rainbow Dash, for all the help you've given us." Rarity was next, laying Dash's unworn Wonderbolt costume and her Gala dress on the grave. "Merci Dash, pour toutes les fois que nous avons partagé." Fluttershy set the posters and jar of rainbow down. "Dash..." she looked almost ready to sob, but she fought back the tears and said "Thank you for spending your time with us." She broke down and backed away from the grave. Finally, AJ set down the golden tiara. "Rainbow... Thanks for being the best friend a pony could have." They took a moment of silence in respect, then gathered the items back up and headed for the bakery. AJ was the last to go. Before she walked off, she looked back one more time at the grave. "...Hope you found your wings again, Sugarcube." she said, as she grabbed her items and trotted off to rejoin the others, satisfied and at peace at last.
