Chapter 4: Goodbyes and Silence

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It's been a about a year since I last wrote in this journal. And I have a good reason. Not long after Rarity's party, some of the most famous flying trainers came into town. I thought they were coming for Soarin' or Spitfire but they weren't even considered. They came to town for Dashie. She was excited and so was I. We couldn't believe it; she was going to be super faster now that she could train with them. It was great...until we found out the time duration.

She had to leave Ponyville and go to their monastery for three years. What killed me most about this was that she couldn't write any letters or visit. She didn't want to go if it meant that she had to leave me and all of her friends behind. Neither did I, but I knew it was the best thing for her. So I sent her with the trainers as I write in this journal. I probably will barely use this thing for the next three years.

Year One

Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Went to some birthday parties and that's it. Worked and helped around town and hung out with the gang. I can't believe it's been a year without Dashie. I'm still ripping my hair out and climbing the walls. I hope she’s doing alright. And if anything happened to her, I’ll make those trainers pay. I can't wait for her to come back. I've been noticing my heart rate is changing. It's probably nothing. I'll probably ask Twilight about it.

Year Two

The same shit as last year. Birthday parties, jobs, etc. Time feels like it’s taking forever to pass. Only one more year to go and I get to see my beautiful little girl. I hope it's not too late though because I'm in my mid-fifties. I am so old compared to when I first found her forever ago. My heart's still a little on edge but I guess that comes with the age. I wish I was just a little bit younger when I found her so I wouldn’t be so old right now.

Year Three

I asked Twilight about the whole heart situation. She couldn’t give me much of an explanation as she didn’t know what was wrong. We looked all over the library and couldn’t really find any book with this sort of description. We finally decided to go to the hospital to have me checked out. Finally, some answers. We waited for a couple of hours before a doctor had finally brought us to an examination room. He agreed with us at first, thinking my heart beats was just my old age setting in. Of course, he checked my just to be sure. It took half an hour before he came back.

He came in slowly and quietly, a stern look upon his face. We knew this was bad, but we couldn’t have known it was that bad. We cried when he finished telling us of the bad news. After an hour of weeping, our faces were tear-drenched and messy. We wiped our faces off and turned to each other. I made her promise me that she would keep her mouth shut. After some time, she reluctantly agreed but urged me to tell somepony. I, of course, declined. I don’t think I can bear to tell Dashie the news.

You know what? I won’t. I can’t, I just can’t. Imagining her face in my head if I told her made tears of sadness roll down my cheeks, their dripping so intense it sounded like I was in a cave. It also made me die a little inside. This was definitely something that had to remain secret. I’ll just have to act as if nothing’s wrong. I’ll have to enjoy the time that I have left. I hope she comes home soon. It’s only a matter of hours before shes back.
