Chapter 34: the return
Equestira was busy as usual as everypony was working and taking care of things. Max was busy putting up records for vinyl as she was messing around with her bass system, "hey vinyl. Can I ask you a question?" max asked.
Vinyl then popped her head out and looked at him "yea buddy?".
"are you going to the grand galloping Galla this month?".
Vinyl smiled at him.
"oh yea. I'm going to the Galla so I can show off my sound wave dress" she said with a smile, max chuckled at her "hehe. Sounds like your prepared".
"yup. What about you max. Are you going as well?" she asked. Max nodded at her "yup. And I really can't wait to go".
"that's good buddy. Man twilight made a good choice of finding the right marefriend" she said making max smile as small blush came across his face.
She then looked at the clock to see that it was three in the afternoon "well looks like it's that time. Guess you better get home to your marefriend " she said, "oh yea" vinyl then walked over to her desk as she then went into her one of her drawers and pulled out a sack of bits and walked over to him and placed them in his hand.
"here's your pay. One thousand bits" she said.
"wow. Thanks vinyl" max said.
Vinyl giggled "no problem. Hey just to be sure were all still doing that party for rainbow dash for getting into the wonderbolt academy right?" she asked.
"oh yea. Were still gonna do it".
"sweet. Can't wait".
"yup. See ya until the party vinyl" max said as he walked to the door, vinyl waved her hoof at him "you too pal". Max walked out of vinyl's store and on his way over to twilight's house, as he opened up the door and closed it behind himself he saw spike walk into the front room "hey ya max" spike said as he ran over to his pal and hugged his leg.
Max then leaned down and picked him up and placed him on his shoulder "hey spike. How is everything going?" he asked his purple friend spike then smiled at him more "everything is going great. Twilight and I got everything set up for the party tonight for rainbow dash", max then walked upstairs into the bed room "that's good spike. Now all we need to do is make sure that she doesn't find out about it".
PONYVILLE CAFE
rainbow dash was happily enjoying her coffee as she looked up at the clouds as she sat outside. She was happy that she finally got to accomplish her dream of becoming a wonderbolt at last, she got a letter in the mail today saying that she would start her training again on June 19th back at the academy. "oh boy I'm so happy" she said to herself "I'm finally a wonderbolt. I finally got to live my dream at last" she then looked at her coffee and swirled her spoon in her cup slowly.
"but...why do I feel so empty inside?" she thought until she brushed it off "oh well it's probably nothing", she then drank up the last of her coffee as she then placed twenty bits on the table as she flew from the cafe and into the sky, as she was flying she then did a few arial tricks as she then did a spiral spin as she flew to sweet apple acres.
SWEET APPLE ACRES
applejack, sam, and applebloom were busy getting down apples from the apple trees. Sam was tackling some of the trees with his shoulder as they all came down and into the basket, over the past 6 weeks sam had been working with applejack and his gotten really muscular. As he was carrying a bunch of apples over to big Mac who was holding a cart so he could take them into ponyville, "ok here ya go big Mac. Only two more to go" he said.
"thanks sam" big Mac said.
"glad to be of service".
He then looked at the sun to see that it was getting hotter and hotter as he whipped his face getting some of the sweat off of him "man is it hot today".
Applebloom walked over to the cart and placed her apples in as well as she walked over to sam, "you alright sam?" she asked. Sam looked down at her and nodded "yea I'm ok. Just a little hot" sam said as he fanned his face. Applebloom then raised her hoof "then take yer shirt off then" she suggested, sam thought about it for a bit until he shrugged as he then pulled off his shirt and put it in his back pocket.
"there. Don't cha feel better?" applebloom asked him.
"yea I feel much better. Thanks applebloom" he said as she smiled at him.
Applejack put her basket into the cart "there we go. All set for ya big Mac" applejack said, big Mac then started to walk from the field and on his way to the town as applejack walked over to sam and applebloom who were sitting by a tree. "well that's the last of them. Now we can all rest for a bit before getting ready for tonight".
They both nodded "yea. I can't wait to see the look on rainbow dash's face when she sees the surprise party that were gonna give her" applebloom said, "I know right. Rainbow dash is gonna flip" sam said as he then looked over at applejack who was walking over to them.
"I here ya. Let's just hope that we can keep her distracted for a bit until then" applejack said as she sat by sam's side, as sam wrapped his arm around her he then looked up and saw rainbow dash flying over the farm "speak of the devil. Look who's come for a visit" he said as rainbow dash landed in front of them, "hey guys. What's up?" she said.
"Howdy rainbow dash" applejack said "what brings you by?".
"oh just passing by. Wanting to see if you guys wanna hang out".
Applejack then scratched the back of her head wiu her hoof "gee. I'd really like to hang out with ya. But I've got a lot to do around the farm. So I'ma be really busy today" she finished, "darn. How about you sam?" she asked.
Sam shook his head at her.
"sorry. I'm booked as well".
Rainbow dash then flew in the air as she hovered over her friends, "ok. Well I'm gonna go and see if dillon and fluttershy wanna hang out today" she said as she flew off. The three then sighed in relief as they all then got up and got ready for tonight.
FLUTTERSHY'S HOUSE
fluttershy was busy placing carrots into a small basket as dillon came downstairs with angel on his shoulder. Fluttershy turned to them and smiled "oh. Dillon. A-are you going somewhere?" she asked him, he nodded as he placed angel down "yup. I wanna get rainbow dash a surprise present for her for when we go to the party on her becoming a wonderbolt" he said.
Fluttershy smiled as she walked over to him "well. I'm sure that she'll be happy with what you get her".
"I know. Hey I'm gonna head over to twilight's house so I can get her present. Ok fluttershy".
"oh. Alright. Just be sure to be ready for tonight".
"I will. Don't worry" he said as he then walked over to the door and closed it, fluttershy smiled as she hummed as she was getting the carrots in her basket for rainbow dash's party.
SUGERCUBE CORNER
Pinky pie and jack were running left and right placing decorations all over the shop as mr. And were baking in the kitchen, "ok. We just need to put up a few more streamers and then will need some confide" jack said as he placed up some streamers with pumpkin cake on his shoulder and pound cake tucked gently in his hoodie, pinky pie was blowing up balloons as she was bouncing left and right.
"okie dokie. This is gonna be so exciting" pinky pie said with a huge smile on her face as she blew the last ballon.
"oh yea. I can't wait. This party is gonna rock".
They both finished up as the two stood next to each other, pinky pie Then smiled at jack "ohhhh. I know that she is going to love it". Jack then leaned down to her and held her close "me too pinky pie".
CAROUSEL BOUTIQUE
Rarity and Corey were In the design room thinking on what to make for there friend rainbow dash, Corey was drawing up sketch after sketch as rarity was looking over them.
"hmmm. Were gonna something with a little more. Oh how should I put it. Awesomeness" she said as she placed her hoof on her chin, corey was tapping his foot as he thought as well.
"hmmm. Let's see" he said as he looked over at the designs over and over.
Rarity was busy looking over Corey's drawings as Corey was walking back and forth thinking on what they should make for there friend on her getting into the wonderbolts, they both kept thinking and thinking until an idea popped into there heads "how about we make rainbow dash a wonderbolt scarf?" they both said in unison.
They then looked at each other for a bit until they both looked away blushing. "well...looks like we have a sync mind" Corey said as he scratched his head, "y-yes. It...would seem so" rarity said as she hid behind her hair making sure Corey wasn't seeing her blush.
They the both then turned to each other and smiled as they then started to get to work on rainbow dash's wonderbolt scarf.
GOLDEN OAKS LIBRARY
"you have to be kidding me" dillon said as he saw twilight search her book shelfs. "sadly I'm not. It looks like there won't be a new issue of daring do until three weeks" she then turned to dillon "I'm really sorry dillon. I know that you had your hopes set high to get her a new issue on her favorite book" twilight said in an upset tone.
Dillon then leaned down and stroked her mane "it's ok. I guess I will have to look for another book for her".
"well I know whatever you get her. I know that she'll love it" twilight then walked over to the door "I'm gonna go and get ready for the surprise party. Don't forget it's at seven o'clock ok?" she told him, dillon nodded at her "I won't" he said as twilight then left out of the front door.
Dillon was left all alone inside of the library as he kept looking and looking for a book that rainbow dash would like. He kept looking and looking through the shelfs but found nothing that would be of interest for her.
"dammit! I can't find a good book for her" he said as he placed his hand on the bookshelf as a book from up top fell down onto the ground in front of him, "huh?" he said as he looked at the book and picked it up and saw that it was covered with dust. "wow. Were has this been?" he thought as he removed the dust from the book and saw what the cover had said "the book of kain" he thought as then then opened the book and looked through the pages astounded by all of the ancient spells that kain had created in his time.
As turned he turned the next page his heart then started to speed up as he saw seven letters in black bold letters: the void, "t-this is the void spell that trixie tried to do" he thought as he read the spell:
"The void is one of my most powerful spells that I have made in my life. I have learned to understand it and control it for the time being. I have also learned that I can use it to bring back the people that have passed away back from the other side with this spell. I will write on more details if this is true".
Dillon started sweating as he kept reading on the void spell:
"success! The myth is true! The void can be used to bring back ponies from the other side into our world. This is the greatest thing in the world. I have tried it out the other day by bring back my wife, as I drew the alicorn symbols I then was able to enter the void. What a wonderful place it is. It is so peaceful, I was able to see my wife in over 4 years. It looked like she as aged just like me. After I was 45 when she died at 43. But when I asked her if she was still the same age, she told me that she wasn't and that the void has let her live out her life on the other side as if she was in our real world. She told me that she had missed me and was so happy to see me once again as I brought her back home with me. We had the best 17 years of our life together".
Dillon then looked at the last page that showed him how to enter the other side of the void as he then shut the book. And ran out the door.
OPEN FIELD
dillon ran as far away as he could from ponyville as he then looked all over the place so that nopony was around to see him. He then pulled out his fuma shuriken and held it in his right hand as he held the kain's book in his left and turned to the page on how to do the void spell, after a few hours he finished drawing the last symbol into the ground as he placed his fuma shuriken on his side. He then looked at the bottom page and looked at the words to activate it.
"kain. You better be telling the truth about this. Or I'm coming after you in the after life and kicking your ass for lying to me" dillon said as he then read the words:
By ones heart. By ones desire. Show me the path that is only of light and freedom. A world that is out own. A love that is stronger than any other. Show me a world everlasting in peace and love. Come forth and let me bring back my everlasting peace back into this world of the living".
As soon as he said the last sentence of the spell the ground began to shake and vibrate as he fell on his butt, and looked at the sky to see that it had turned a dark blue color around him. Soon there was a noise of thunder and lighting as a rip in front of him started to emerge as it grew bigger and bigger to the size of a huge double door. dillon then got up and walked over to it and touched it as it glowed, he then placed his hands on the doors as he took a huge breath and closed his eyes "well...here I go" he said to himself as he then pushed open the doors.
THE VOID
As dillon pushed open the doors and walked inside he then turned around and closed them so nothing could get out. As he closed the doors and turned around what he saw would last in his mind forever, he saw a grassy field covered with a few or a thousand trees.
He then started to walk around the large field as he looked around the place. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was as beautiful as kain had said it was he smiled as he then laid in the grassy field and smelled the fresh air, dillon saw a few birds and butterflies go by as he smiled "this place. It's so wonderful" dillon said.
"yeah...it sure is" a voice said behind him.
Dillon then got to his knees and turned around to see who had spoke to him, as he turned around his eyes then widened in disbelief as he could not believe who was standing right in front of him.
"it's been a long time. Dillon" the voice said with a smile.
Dillon then started to smile.
"yea. It's been far far to long...bro".
PONYVILLE
Rainbow dash was flying around as she then landed in the streets.
"man. Everypony has been so busy today" she said as she walked in the streets, "hmm. Well I haven't asked pinky pie if she wanted to hang out. Maybe she might want to do a sleep over?" she said as she then flew over to sugarcube corner.
SUGARCUBE CORNER
rainbow dash landed in front of the door and knocked on it "hey pinky pie. You home?" she said but didn't hear a response. She then looked over at the window and saw a dim candle light in the shop as she tapped on the door and saw that it was unlocked. She then entered the shop as she walked over to the dim light "helloooo. Anypony home?" rainbow dash said as she walked in the room over to the dim candle light. As soon as she got near it she saw it go out and heard the door close as she quickly turned around as the lights all then came on.
"SURPRISE!" everypony shouted.
Rainbow dash had a look of shock and happiness on her face. "wow. What's all of this for?" she asked, pinky pie bounced to her "it's a party for you silly. To congratulate you on becoming a wonderbolt" she said happily.
Her friends then walked to her "yup. We wanted to do this for you because you accomplished your dream" sam said, they all then did a group hug smiling at one another "awwwww. You guys are the best a pony could have" she said. Everyone smiled at her complement as they all then enjoyed the party. Rarity and Corey gave rainbow dash the wonderbolt scarf that they made for her, applejack, sam, and applebloom gave her some apple pie that they had made for her, max and twilight gave her a book on the history of the wonderbolts, and fluttershy and her pet bunny angel gave her a wonderbolt poster that they got the other day.
After a few partying for a bit pinky pie, mr. And brought out a cake in the shape of a wonderbolt pony and placed it on a table, spike then walked up to her and gave her a gem that he had made to look like a wonderbolt, she took the give that he had gave her and hugged him "thanks little guy" she said.
"no problem". He said as he let go of her.
As they broke the hug spike then heard a knock at the door "ll'l get it" he said as he ran over to the front door and opened it reviling it to be dillon and a another figure behind him. "dude were have you been? The party has started a few minutes ago" he asked him, dillon only rubbed the purple dragon s head "hehe. Sorry spike but I had to get a present for rainbow dash" he said, spike then looked at him "oh. What kind of book did you get her?".
"oh I got her something much better than a book buddy".
Spike smiled at him as he then stepped out of the way for him to enter. Dillon walked in and turned to him "oh yea. Can let my friend in as well? I want him to meet rainbow dash" dillon asked him.
Spike then nodded at him "sure man" spike said, dillon then gestured his "friend" to come inside the figure started walking in wearing an all black cloak covering it's whole body. The two then walked behind the ponies and stood in the back as they watched rain ow dash and her friends enjoy there fun "go up there" the figure said "there gonna worry were you have been".
"alright" dillon said with a smile as he walked up to his friends, as soon as he came into the line of sight max then smiled at him "dillon. Hey man were have you been?" he asked him. Dillon just waved his hand at him "oh just Looking for rainbow dash a gift" he said to him, max then wrapped his arm around his neck as they both laughed in joy.
Rainbow dash was then telling her story of her time of the wonderbolt academy to someponies as pinky pie then tapped her back.
"yea pinky pie?".
"hey. I don't mean to be rude. But can you do a speech. Pleassssse" pinky pie begged as rainbow dash smiled at her "heheheh. Ok ok. Ll'l do it" she said. Pinky pie jumped in the air "yay!" she shouted as she then grabbed rainbow dash a cup as she then pushed her gently into the center of the crowd, everypony then looked at her with smiles as they were all quiet and gave her there attention.
Rainbow dash rubbed her head a bit as she blushed a bit "well...hehehe. I guess I can really say is. Umm thanks everypony for this wonderful party that you all threw for me". Everypony cheered for her as she then started to speak again.
"I just want to thank all of you for believing in me and I would mostly like to thank my friends who helped push me into following my dream on becoming a wonderbolt" she finished, her friends then cheered for her as she smiled at them, rainbow dash then held her head down for a bit as she then looked up at everypony "I just wish that...if Clayton was here. He would be so happy. And I..wanna tell him that I love him. And...miss him very much" she finished.
"why don't you tell me that now?" the figure in corner said.
Everypony then looked at the figure as it then walked forward and stood in the center of the crowd, rainbow dash then looked at the figure with a raised eyebrow "what do you mean by that?" she asked the figure.
The figure then started to move his hands on his cloak and start to unzip the zipper down as he then took off the cloak and held it in his arm, everypony was in total complete and utter shock as they could not believe who was standing in front of them. Rainbow dash dropped her cup as she had her mouth open as she could not believe her eyes.
"c-cl-Clayton?" she said.
Clayton smiled at her "hey dashie".
She then didn't waste any time as she flew at him and held him within her hoofs with tears flowing down her face as he wrapped his arms around her, she nuzzled her head into his chest as she kept crying and crying as he held her sweetly and stroked her mane.
"best gift ever" she said as everypony then all gathered around them and had a huge group hug. After six weeks of suffering in pain and heartbreak rainbow dash had finally felt it all lift away as she finally got to hold the man that she had fallen in love with, and she could not be any more happier than she was that night.
