Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
Rainbow's eyes didn't dry until the next morning, and even then it was difficult to keep them open.
She stood in her bathroom, gazing at the mirror.
All of the furnishings and bat equipment had been removed. It was just her and the shadows. That's what it always had been.
She sighed. Her breath fogged the glass. She no longer bothered to wipe it clean.
Just then, she heard the distant ring of her doorbell resonating throughout her house.
Another exhale. Rainbow reached forward. It took her the better part of a minute, but she was finally able to grip the frame of the mirror and carry it with her into the foyer.
"To be honest, Miss Dash, the boys and I expected to be lugging a lot more around!" A stallion shoved a partially collapsed bed into a chariot. He wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled at her in the early morning light. "Just two movers could have gotten this stuff out in the time slot you scheduled!"
"The more the merrier... the faster the better," Rainbow droned, watching from beneath the shadow of her floating home. Her eyes traced other stallions as they carried out her chairs, sofas, and tables. "Need I go on?"
"Hey... we're just happy to serve!" The stallion made room in the chariot for two of his partners to drop in an ironing board and a coat-wrack. "We're taking this to the heart of Ponyville?"
"Yeah. To the address listed," Rainbow said.
"The pawn shop, right?" The stallion blew out the side of his muzzle. "We'll be there in a sneeze!"
"I'll meet you there," Rainbow said.
Within minutes, they held true to his words. The workhorses plopped the last bit of furniture into the back of the cart. Collectively, they lifted it into the air and flew southwest towards downtown Ponyville. The light of the rising sun glinted off the spokes of their wagon wheels.
Rainbow Dash flapped her wings. She lifted off the ground and made to zoom after them.
Pausing briefly, however, she turned to look up at her floating house. She couldn't see the empty rooms from the exterior... and yet she felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from her body.
It still didn't bring more than a tingle to her forelimbs.
With a heavy sigh, she spread her wings to the cool morning wind and blurred her way southwest.

So she's really going to do this, huh? I'll admit that there's not a whole lot for her left in Ponyville. Sure, she's got her friends, but I think she feels detached from them. She has Scoots, but I don't think that's enough to keep her there. I'm just sad it's come to this.
This is starting to parallel Vinyl in The Things Tavi Says. I won't say much more in case there are folks who haven't read that yet, but let's see if this plays out similarly.
Well Dash... you can't avoid this elephant forever.
At some point, before you leave, you're going to have to tell the others that you're leaving.
You've already got the setup for the reveal...
I'd say think about it more, think about how... kinda selfish this is.
This isn't just going to affect you Dash, you've already seen how much it's going to hurt Shy to see you disappear from her life again, but think about how much this is going to affect the others, and your drinking buddies.
In particular, Melody really needs somepony around right now.
...and please tell me you didn't sell the goblet. Tell me you at least gave that to Shy. Epcot deserves an apology and a friend.
Scoots flying has to be one of the happiest things that has happened in Appledashery. Followed by the crushing realization that her idol is leaving her behind.
7323798 Oh god i hope not
You know, I think that everypony's gonna know that something's really up when they look up and see pegasi dismantling Rainbow's house for the cloudstone.
That's not gonna be a very happy moment, I'm thinking.
...and Epcot's chalice?
I wonder if Rainbow is at all conscious of how often she sighs.
7324103 Probably not. It's like reading "said." You sort of skip over it and focus on the voices after.
I petition to change the description of this story to:
Rainbow Dash flies from her problems
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
...What is it I've got to say...
So why are you running away?
...To make you admit you're afraid...
Why are you running away?

How about:
An account of everything that can possibly go wrong simply because Rainbow Dash won't talk to anyone. The extended edition.
Wait didn't she already shotgun like half of her medicine supply? I figure she would've wanted to sort that little issue out before gallivanting off into the sunset...
This whole time, I've been holding out hope that she was going to stick around in some fashion, but now actually getting to selling all her stuff feels pretty final. So long, Ponyville. At least she's promised to stop by every so often.
I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I love torturing myself apparently. This story is the most amazing thing I've read in a long time.
It's also worth mentioning that the Harry Potter books contain 1,084,170 words meaning this series is proving to be the longest running story I've ever read in a years time.
7328038 have you heard the word of our Lord and saviour Austreaoh?
OK it's technically 7 (nearly 8) stories, but it's also skirts' other daily doorstopper and has cracked 2 million words IIRC

Why not? Moving on did a lot for her, something that RD desperately needs.
What would a pegasus be doing with bat equipment? Isn't that more Noir's kind of stuff?
