She turned and looked at Twilight. The unicorn stepped forward and set her hoof on Rainbow’s shoulder. Rainbow cupped it and squeezed. “’Cause I found Twilight. She’s exactly the sorta pony you always wanted me to end up with, always tryin’ to get me to slow down and think things through first. I just know you’d love her, too.”Twilight leaned down and kissed Rainbow’s brow.Smiling before turning back to the stone, Rainbow continued, “I finally slowed down a little, dad. I asked Twilight to marry me, and she said yes. I…I wish you could be there for it, but I wish that about a lot of things. I’ve missed you, dad. I’ve missed you so much. There was so much we never got to say, so many ponies I want you to meet. You’ll never get to meet my friends; the type of ponies you always wanted me to find, but I was too busy livin’ both of our dreams. You’ll never get to meet Twilight and see me prove that I finally got what you were tryin’ to tell me. An’ you’ll never get to meet Scoots…”Rainbow lowered her head again, her wavering voice barely above a whisper. “Scoots is just like the both of us, dad. But she’s better than us, too. She doesn’t need to be told to try and slow down and find somethin’ in the ponies around her. She knows already. An’ as hard as it is to know you’ll never meet her, it’s even harder knowin’ she’ll never get to meet you.“You’re one of the best ponies I’ll ever meet, dad. I love you. I never said that enough when you were alive, but I love you. Thank you, for everythin’ you did for me an’ everythin’ you tried to do for me. I’ll never forget you, an’ Scoots’ll never forget you, either.“You worked hard your whole life to prove to that trash of a family you came from that you weren’t worthless. Well, you proved it to me. You proved it to all of Equestria.” A tear ran down Rainbow’s face and she wiped it away. “You can stop fighting now, dad. We can both stop fighting now. We won.”Rainbow stood and turned to her fiancée. She discovered that Twilight had been silently sobbing. They embraced each other tightly and cried together on the hill. The sun moved a noticeable distance across the sky by the time they pulled away.Twilight sniffled loudly and rubbed at her muzzle. Smiling remotely, Rainbow kissed the mare on the cheek and mumbled, “I’m ready to go now.”“Hold on,”
