A wave of refreshing warmth rushed over Rainbow Dash's body as she and the others passed through the boundary. She opened her eyes to find an endless valley of wheat welcoming her. Large mountain ranges bordered the sides of the valley and seemed to extend towards the end of creation and beyond. A single, large tree stood off in the distance. Its branches reached towards the cloudless sky as if they there the arms of countless souls. A brilliantly-bright sun cast a wonderful light down on the valley. Rainbow looked back to see the dying Ponyville withering behind what seemed to be a glass wall. She approached the wall and placed her hoof on it. It felt like cold glass and, no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't break through.

"You can't break through," said Susie. It was at this moment that Rainbow noticed that she, Aaron, Gilda, Ridley, Pinkie Pie, and Bellamina were the only ones there. The entire crowd of ponies and creatures had disappeared.

"Where is everypony else?" Aaron asked.

"They've gone on. On to their own personal heavens."

"Are you saying that there's not just one Heaven?" Gilda asked.

"Oh there is one Heaven but it's different for everyone, everypony, and everything else. I'm sure you'll come across the others again."

Rainbow looked back just in time to see Pinkamena, now bloodied, burnt, and crying, banging on the glass. She appeared to be screaming but Rainbow couldn't hear anything. The Beast appeared in the background and reached for her. Pinkamena disappeared in a ball of fire and the glass wall melted down into a small puddle of water. The water then expanded into a stream, which grew into a river, which grew into a lake, which grew into an ocean. Rainbow turned back towards the valley of wheat and then back towards the ocean.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Susie asked.

"Incredible," said Aaron.

"Indescribable," said Pinkie and Bellamina together. Rainbow turned away from the ocean and approached Susie.

"Why couldn't I go back?" she asked.

"Did you want to do back?" Susie asked.

"No way!"

"Then there's your answer. Why would Heaven let you go back to a world that you had no desire to go back to in the first place?"

"Can...can we still look back?"

"Do you mean back to the world of the living?"

"Yeah."

"Of course."

Susie pointed at the ground. A circular opening appeared in the dirt. Rainbow looked through to see that she was looking at the exterior of Sugar Cube Corner. She could see Twilight, Sunkick, Applejack, and Scootaloo sitting outside. Brutus and another investigator were walking out of the shop carrying a large, black bag. Rainbow had a good idea what was in that bag. Another investigator began questioning Twilight as the hole closed up.

"You can take a closer look later," said Susie. "Now, I believe you have an eternal afterlife to explore."

Susie then pointed towards the tree, which seemed to be somewhat closer than before.

"What's beyond that tree?" Pinkie asked.

"The rest of eternity."

The group walked in silence for what seemed like eons. But it was an enjoyable walk. The air was cool and warm at the same time, the sounds of autumn breezes, forest streams, and chirping birds echoed throughout the field, and small woodland critters ran amongst the stalks of wheat. Rainbow even saw a wolf playing with a pig at one point.

"What happened to Pinkamena exactly?" Pinkie asked. Susie's face became cold and stern.

"She was taken to be judged," the human replied.

"Judged? By who?" Aaron asked.

"The Judge of course. The Beast is simply a collector. The Judge determines the fate of shady souls. The Judge decides whether or not the soul deserves immediate damnation or some time to repent and heal in Limbo."

"What do you think will happen to her?" Pinkie asked.

"Why are we supposed to care? She's a killer. She deserves damnation," said Gilda.

"I wouldn't wish that on anypony, even somepony as evil as Rufus or Pinkamena. Maybe they do deserve it...but damnation must be a horrible fate."

"It is. I've seen glimpses of it," said Susie.

"How?" Ridley asked.

"I've seen unfortunate spirits pulled into the fiery depths. It's not pleasant."

"How can you see anything that horrible from Heaven?" Rainbow asked.

"You can see anything from Heaven if you're willing enough to go exploring."

Then they were there. The trunk of the tree loomed over them like a skyscraper. Rainbow looked beyond the tree to see that an endless amount of cities, towns, valleys, oceans, deserts, prairies, mountains, and many other wondrous places were looking back at them.

"Heaven is infinite," said Susie.

"Heaven is infinite," Bellamina repeated.

"Heaven is forever," said Rainbow, Pinkie, and Aaron together. It was then that Rainbow noticed a girl sitting next to the tree trunk. She was a human, like Susie, but she looked different. She had darker hair, darker skin, and a weird assortment of clothes.

"Hello Holly," said Susie.

"Hey, Susie. Bringing some new friends in?" asked Holly.

"Obviously."

"I guess I'll see you around then."

And with that, Holly disappeared. She was then replaced by a male human around the age of sixteen. He was thin and dressed in lavish clothing resembling that of a prince.

"Hi Susie," said the boy. "New arrivals?"

"Yes," said Susie.

"I guess I'll see you later then. Same place?"

"As always."

The boy smiled and disappeared.

"Who was that?" Aaron asked.

"Eustace Clarence Scrubb. He's a boy from England who was killed in a train crash in 1949. I've taken a liking to him and his friends. You'll meet them soon, no doubt. Just think about it, soon we'll all be singing countless songs and dancing with the Narnians," Susie replied happily.

"What's England?" asked Gilda.

"Who are the Narnians?" Pinkie asked. Susie laughed.

"It's a long story," she replied. Rainbow looked out upon the world that stood before her.

"What do we do now?" Rainbow asked.

"Now, we live. We live in complete happiness for all eternity. We live in a world with no sad endings, no suffering, no anger, and no incomplete stories. Your lives have only been the first chapter, now it's time to enjoy the rest of the book. The book that will never end."

"The book that will never end," Pinkie sighed gleefully. She looked down at Bellamina and patted her on the head. She then turned back to Rainbow and smiled. Rainbow looked at Aaron, Pinkie, Bellamina, Gilda, Ridley, and Susie. She thought back to everything in her life and all of her friends and family. She then began looking forward to the day in which she could enjoy the eternal happiness with them; enjoy living through the pages of the book with no final chapter.

"Heaven," Rainbow said as she spread her wings wide, preparing to take off. "We finally made it."
