A final gift



	After 40 years of a life full of being a Wonderbolt, A good friend, And overall sucsessful mare, Rainbow Dash lies at her death bed with Scootaloo close by.  All her life, Scootaloo had looked up to Rainbow, trying to mimic her every move. She was afterall, her number one fan. The two had gotten close over the years, moving in with each other, as if they were sisters. Now, with Scootaloo watching over Rainbow, She tries to savour the last few moments she has with her hero.

"Thanks for taking care of me these last few years, Scootaloo. You're like the little sister I never had..I love you" Rainbow told her

"Anything for you Rainbow Dash"

"Hey kid. I know I don't have much time left, but there is something I need to tell you"

"Dash, Don't say that!"

"It's true, and its my time to pass on"

"But I'm not ready for you to leave yet!"

With Rainbows last dying breath, she manages to tell Scootaloo one final thing

"I have one final gift to give you.  You know that I will always love you like a sister...Inisde my drawer at the house..." 

"Yes? Whats there?" ... "Dash?" 

Rainbow's eyes slowly closed, and Scootaloo can hear the EKG monitor above her buzz.

"Goodbye Rainbow Dash. I love you too"

Scootaloo gives Rainbow a hug before leaving the room. Scootaloo was all Rainbow had left after her adventures with her friends came to an end. By then, the Cutie Mark Crusaders had all gotten their cutie marks, and stopped going out on their crusades. Neither of the mares had been in contact with anypony from ponville once everypony got older, and didn't have time for their charades anymore.

Walking through the hospital walls, Scootaloo tried to think of happy thoughts but nothing worked. All she wanted to do was go home and sleep. She loved Rainbow Dash, and was going to have a hard time managing without her. Since Scootaloo never knew her parents, or had any siblings, Rainbow Dash was the only pony she ever really had. She had great friends, but never any real family, and Dash was the closest thing to it. 

Finally reaching home, Scootaloo unlocked the door to a quite, dark house. It would be a long time before she would ever get used to it, seeing as everyday she would get home, there Rainbow Dash would be, eager to greet her home, with a welcoming hug.  This house is much larger then Rainbow's old house in Cloudsdale. It wasnt made of clouds, or or had any fancy cloud furnature, but it was more simple, perfect for the lives they both led.

Making it into her bedroom, Scootaloo lays down on her bed,  resting her head on the pillow. Before she can close her eyes and get some rest, She hears a knock at the door.

Who could that be this late at night?

She gets up to answer the door. Opening it, She's surprised to see Twilight and Rarity standing at the door, with both Sweetie bell and Applebloom behind them. 

"Oh, hey.. I...What are you guys doing here?"

"Word travels fast. I'm, We're all sorry Scootaloo" Raritys Starts, "Way we come in?"

"Oh, yeah sorry. Please come in." 

She exchanges hugs with everypony as they enter the house, each making their way over the to living area. Closing the door behind Applebloom, the last to enter, she makes her way to Rainbow's favorite spot to sit, since it seemed fitting.

"How has everypony been. It's been such a long time since the last time we seen eachother. Unfortunatly in the same way" She sighed 

"Yeah" Rarty frowned, "We all miss Pinkie too"
