Author's note: I was never intending to write anything more about Drax and his story. I considered it done, happily ever after and all. After time went on, and I received alot of feedback, alot of you fans begged me to continue the story and write more. I still resisted, since I wanted to move on to other projects, but then I had another dream. I don't remember it, however one thought stuck with me. How would Drax respond when he was told that his powers had been sealed away by Luna, and she could give them back?

The following takes place ~30 years after the original story, and is a series of letters written to Pinkie Pie. This is purely as a thank you to my fans and supporters, I hope you all like it. Don't forget to check out my DA page for more info, and bonus content.


My Dear Pinkamina,

I know I promised to write to you every week, and a promise is a promise. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, but then Derpy said she would deliver them herself. Even though she retired four years ago, and her eyesight has gotten so bad she can barely see, She says she still knows the way. Who am I to deny our old friend the chance to feel useful again in her old age. And after all I've seen her do, I half believe she really does know the way.

It's been only a few days since the party, and a week now since you left, and we all miss you so much. You would have loved it. Nopony wore black, just like you asked. I even got a spell to change my coat color. All the decorations were colorful, and everypony partied, everypony danced, everypony laughed, just how you wanted us to.

Rainbow Dash lead the Wonderbolts in an awesome show over the ceremony, and Twilight Sparkle arranged a massive fireworks display with the help of some other unicorns. Dash looks so much more mature now in her captain's uniform, and Scootaloo joined her on her own first performance since joining the Wonderbolts as well. It's no surprise to anypony that she chose to follow Dash. Remember how we used to joke that her cutie mark would be a image of Dash, the way she was always following her around. It only made sense that Dash adopted her when her parents died in that storm. It helped Dash to grow up a little, and now they are both living their dreams.

Twilight and Rarity both gave beautiful speeches. Rarity was beautiful as always, even at her age, she carries herself like a lady. I was so glad I was able to help her open her mind all those years ago, and now her and Spike are very happy together. Rumor has it they want to adopt an orphan baby dragon, just like Spike was long ago. Twilight cried through her entire speech, but it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever heard. She truly was a master in the art of friendship, and all her years of study came to the fore that day. Not a dry eye in the house.

Everypony attended the party, except Princess Luna. Celestia didn't know why she wouldn't come, and said she has locked herself in her room, refusing to talk to anypony. Things have been strange with Luna since you started to get sick. She has acted very nervous around me, and barely talks to me anymore. It's like she's afraid of me now. I don't understand, since we were aways rather close before, despite her living all the way in Canterlot. She always had time for a kind word, and it was her that helped tutor little Figment on his Alicorn magic. I hope she comes back around soon, but I guess every pony deals with things in their own way.

Even though it's only been a week, it seems like a lifetime has gone by. Our little Figment Imagination is all grown, soon to be married, and our Midnight Song was just declared pregnant with her second foal. Her and that stallion of hers are such proud parents, and I wish you could be here to see your second grandchild. It's comforting to know you at least got to see little Pinkie Surprise before you left.

Poor Pinkie keeps asking where Grammy Pie went, but none of us have the heart to tell her. For now your vacation to far off lands will be taking longer than expected. I think Figment took it the hardest. He was always closest to you, and nopony has seen him since the party. Last we heard, he was flying towards Fillydelphia to see his fiancé there. I can't blame him. I wanted to fly away somewhere myself. I'm sure he will come around when he is ready.

Myself, I keep wearing my mask as always. Need to keep up appearances, now that I am running the shop in your absence. But it's getting harder to smile, an my laughs just feel fake to me. Without my party pony, things just aren't as fun anymore. I need you to make me happy, just as you needed me. Apart, we are just pieces of a broken puzzle.

Oh god, Pinkie. Why did you have to leave? How do I keep smiling without you to make life worth bearing. I knew living forever would be as much a curse as a blessing, but living something is alot harder than just knowing it. I miss you so much, and I would so anything to see your smiling pink face just one more time. I cried for the first time since our little foal was born, and I'm crying again right now. I can remember your smile in my mind, trying to cheer me up, but it's just not working this time.

I will keep trying. I still remember the promise you asked me to make. It was with your last breath that you made me Pinkie Promise to "Just keep laughing". I don't feel like laughing anymore Pinkie, but a promise is a promise.

I love you, I miss you,

Your Silly Draxy
