Description Loyalty.

The cerulean blue Pegasus was dashing through the air, her rainbow mane flowing in the wind, expertly maneuvering between the clouds, and occasionally a sharp turn or a loop around the air. She gripped three balloons by their strings in her mouth, which were struggling to keep up with her as she flew through the air.

"Ha! I still got it." She praised herself on her maneuvering skills.

Finally, she had reached her destination, a hill with a lone tree and a tombstone on top of it. The hill wasn't far away from Ponyville; the Pegasus just took her time flying in the skies.

She landed under the shade of the tree, in which the tombstone sat under, another three deflated balloons plopped on the ground beside the tombstone, their strings still attached to it.

She stared at the tombstone for a few moments, her eyes drifting off into distant memories…

"Hey Rainbow!!"

She smiled at the resurfaced memory. Her magenta eyes focusing on the tombstone, analyzing every aspect of it, memories resurfacing the longer she looked.

"I didn't know you were a prankster too, Pinkie Pie!"

"Well, you'll never know unless you ask!"


A tear crawled out from Rainbow's eye, making its way down her cheek, and dripping onto the grass. Rainbow Dash shook her head and wiped off the tears.

"Enough reminiscing, here are the balloons, just like I promised…" She says, removing the previously deflated balloons, throwing them aside for later disposal. She then ties the balloons onto the tombstone, the strings wrapped around it.

She stood there, staring at the tombstone for a few minutes, the yellow and blue balloons dancing in the breeze.

"Ehem… um… Rainbow?" A familiar voice asked.

"Hey Rainbow Dash! Can I have your autograph?"

"Who-"Rainbow Dash jumped up in surprise, she turned around to greet the pony who snuck up on her.

An orange Pegasus was in front of her.  "I hope I'm not er… disturbing anything… "The orange Pegasus apologized, scratching her head.

"Oh, it's you squirt! If you still want me to call you squirt, I mean, you already graduated after all…" Rainbow Dash said, shying a bit away from the orange Pegasus before her.

"It's okay Rainbow Dash… you can still call me squirt." The orange Pegasus replied. "That nickname has kinda grown on me…"

"Scootaloo, I- You were just a little filly back then, you could barely even fly! But now, now you're a full grown mare, time just…" She pauses for second. "Time just goes so fast, it seems to Dash away the older you get…" She says, looking back at the tombstone then to Scootaloo. "Anyways, do you need something? Anything I can help you with?"

"Well I was just curious about where you fly to every day, so I um… followed you here…" Scootaloo says with a blush. "It seems you really took that promise to heart."

"They don't call me the element of Loyalty just for the title!" Rainbow Dash says proudly, a hoof on her chest. "Anyways, that reminds me, I still have four of my best friends to visit!"
"Is that what you do every day now?" Scootaloo asks.

"Scoots, I'm already an aging mare, I already retired from the Wonderbolts, and you, obviously, took my place, I already taught you everything I know…" Rainbow Dash says as she pats Scootaloo on the back. "And if you combine that with your talents, I'm pretty sure you'll be known all over Equestria soon!"

"You got potential kid, how about you sign up for the Wonderbolts?"

"Hay, I even remembered when Spitfire invited me into the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow dash says proudly.

"Yeah, your crowning achievement." Scootaloo smirks. "Hey, um… if you don't mind, I have to go…" She says as she readies her wings for flight.

"Oh, I don't mind at all! Just remember not to forget me when you're in the hall of Fame!"

"Of course, I promise! I Pinkie promise!" Scootaloo says as she ascends.

"Cross your heart and hope to fly!?" Rainbow shouts back.

"Stick a cupcake in my eye!" Scotaloo shouts as she flies away, gesturing sticking a cupcake in her eye.

Rainbow stared at Scootaloo as she flew off into the horizon.

"Hear that Pinkie? She just made a Pinkie promise…" Rainbow says as she bends towards the tombstone.

Rainbow looks at it for a good minute and sighs.

"I really wish you never had to do that…" She caresses the tombstone with her hoof and pauses for a minute. "Because sometimes, promises are meant to be broken…" Rainbow says, tears once again forming in her eyes.
