Well now, I never said that I wouldn't make an epilogue did I? I just said no more new chapters. Also, epilogues come "after" the story is complete do they not? Thank you everyone for supporting this fan fic. Thanks again ROB for making this story and to Athanix for helping me!!
Epilogue
The smell of a small fire pit filled the room with the pleasant scent of campfire. I was sitting in a chair that I fashioned together after a long while of hard labor. Houses won’t build themselves you know? And they don’t build themselves with only one person either, I might add. Or in this case, not with only one pony.
I’m not implying that I’m a pony of course, no that would not be possible. What I meant by that is my little Dashie was here help. Her and even a friend, Pinkie Pie. When Rainbow Dash had brought Pinkie Pie to visit me at first, I had almost gotten angry. It was very much a secret that I was here, and I wanted to keep it that way, as much as I wanted to say something to that goddess horse.
But after Pinkie “Pinkie” promised me that she would never, ever in a million bazillion years’ tell anyone about me, I was glad to have her over. We had the house built in only a couple days. Where it is not very large, it made up for it in spirit and love. It had a bedroom and a makeshift kitchen. At first the kitchen was just a fire pit and a tub of water from the lake nearby, but Pinkie Pie and Dashie had managed to quietly move some furnishings from Ponyville to my home. A real bed. Not some thin blanket and pillow. An actual bed like the ones back at home. They also brought some cooking utensils, a small cupboard, and a type of cooler that I could store my food in. The cooler was almost filled to the brim with produce of all kinds. That is one thing that I still very much need to get used to. No meat. I thought about trying my take at hunting, but I know whats in the forest. It’s not that big of a deal to me, not having meat. I never had a problem with vegetables and fruits and things like that, but I still liked meat. Time to time, Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie would bring me eggs and or some baked goods or things like that. It was always nice to have them around. It was convenient too because I was only a mile out of ponyville, but I was still well hidden. I was nestled into a small clearing right on the edge of the forest, right on the other side of the lake where I found Dashie. I had just recently finished putting together another bed from a mattress Pinkie Pie dragged in one day. I had asked her where she got it, she told me that would ruin the surprise.
Oh, that silly, pink mare. The first time she saw me, she had wanted to throw me a welcome party, but I had to quickly stifle that idea. When she brought up the point about where I said “Next time,” I told her that once I was finished with my house, I would let her throw me a small house warming party. I told her she could invite herself, Dashie, me, and gummy. When I told her that, I dont think I have ever seen her more excited about something, ever. She also said the same thing, except the time where she first met me, but who could top that. What a silly mare. But I am grateful for her, she comes and visits me almost everyday. She always comes with that ear to ear smile that brightens up the darkest days. Dashie, on the other hand, is here every day.
And I am so glad for that. There are times now where I wish I was a pegasus, just so I could fly with her. Now, where I can’t fly with her in real life, I can sometimes in my dreams. There was a side effect of the teleport. We sometimes share dreams, whenever she stays with me for the night. I feel myself flying low over the trees, struggling very hard to keep up with her. She takes it easy on me, but I still have issues keeping up with her. From my understanding of things, Dashie now had the memories of her past self, and her current self. I had no idea how she was handling it, but I’m sure she was doing great. She was, after all, Rainbow Dash.
So, this is now my life. I wake up, I do some work on my house, I go foraging a bit, I shower with water from the lake, and then I wait for my two friends to come and see me. No, not two friends, my friend and my daughter. I would never trade it for anything, no matter what.
Pinkie Pie, Dashie, and I were sitting around the fire, just relaxing. We had a big day tomorrow. It was my house warming/welcome party! Pinkie, in her standard relaxing mode, was spouting words faster than a gun, but I didn’t mind. These two mares were the first “people” I had ever had over in my house since I moved out of my parents old house. It felt good to finally have company. This was all I wanted, and needed. A brony and his ponies, just like good ol’ times.
The sun was beginning to set, and Pinkie Pie had just gotten up and left, assuring me that she would be over bright and early tomorrow. Dashie had stayed behind to help me mount something on the wall. My mothers painting, the only thing I had brought from home. We hung it just above the fireplace, a suiting spot. It was the centerpiece of the room now and, other than Dashie herself, was the most colorful thing in here.
“It’s beautiful dad,” she said to me, leaning her head on my thigh. I rested my hand on her mane and stroked it gently, staring at the picture.
“I agree, and I agree because its you,” I said quietly. She looked up at me for a moment, her big rose eyes looking into mine, wondering what I meant by that. She smiled when she understood, and I returned the smile back. “Dashie, wanna’ stay the night with me?” I asked her. She smiled even bigger.
“Thought you’d never ask! Race you to the beds!” She yelled and was gone in a flash. “I win!”
“Yes, Dashie, you win. You always do!” I called back to her. “I’ll be right there, I just need to do one thing,” I say, my voice getting quieter as I said it. I walk up to my moms painting, and I rest a hand on it. “I did it mom, I’m finally happy, just like you wanted,” I said quietly, a small tear slid down my face. I stood there for a moment, realizing what I just said. ‘I’m happy now, and I always will be because of-’ my thought was cut off.
“DAAAAD! Are you coming or what?” Dashie called from the bedroom.
“Yes, Dashie, I’m coming!” I shouted back, “because of her,” I continued my thought out loud.
“Huh? You say somethin’ pops?” Dashie said, poking her head out the door.
“No Dashie,” I smiled, “I didn’t. Here I come!” I turned and ran for the doorway she was sitting in. Her face instantly had a grin on it, and her eyes were angled right at me. She bolted back into the room, me hot on her rainbow tail.
***
Laughter could be heard through the small window in the bedroom as Dashie and her father played and wrestled deep into the night. When they turned out the lights, they connected in their dreams again. They were flying over the lake just outside of their home. Something had changed in her father, he was keeping up with her. She looked back and to her surprise, found “pops” right next to her. She opened her wings and pulled up into the sky, he followed her up, no more than a foot behind her. Together they looped and rolled in their dreams together, deep into Luna’s brilliant night.
The End.
Finally, a happy ending :')

I love you. *Patrick Star version*
106095Lul wut? I dunno what u were trying to say with lying applejack over there lol
Well horseapples, after reading the final chapter last night I wrote an epilogue of my own. Therefore this official epilogue renders mine useless. ty500600, and Athanix, would either of you mind if I posted the epilogue that I wrote?
Your troll
A HAPPY ENDING?
Yosh.
amazing! I hope somepony else makes a series of the rest of their lives, because i never want the story to end!!!!! but it has too
106122 we wouldn't mind in the slightest, any variation of my story just makes me more proud, please go right ahead, i will be the first to read it
Beautiful.
You sir are a great writer, great read, enjoyable especially as a sad fic
My final score is 8.6/10, good job and also
A tear of joy rolled off my face while I read
yes finally a great ending to a great story
well done, this story was very sad but good to see it came out with a happy ending
106156
There is also the problem of findIng a writer as talented! We were lucky to find someone whose style is similar to that of My Little Dashie. What are the odds of finding another?
106185
Good sir, I believe you mean 8.6/5
106206
No. I sereusly meant 8.6 out of 10
Read past sins by penstroke, that fic is the indisputable best fanfic ever made, it deserves my 10/10
Read it and you will know why
106198 You can be the judge of that, here if the link to my newly finished epilogue. It's still under submission so I don't know how long it will take to do that.
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5991/My-Little-Dashie-%3A-A-Sequel---Epilogue
It's so beautiful! The Myth is beyond impressed with this story
And everyone lived happily ever after. The End.
Princess Celestia: But humans can't live in Eques-*punched in face*
I said " The End." dammnit!
yayyy! id like a party with dashie, pinkie and gummy. thatd be awesome.
106235 HAHAHAHA!!!! Sithis I like how you changed your pic to Luna after saying this comment. That really made me laugh!
106198 I will say, he pulled it off very well. The emotions that were relayed were much like the original. Go check it out, it is very good
My previous comment? The one criticizing it? Yeah, I'd like to retract that. I thought the new ending was much better written, and was quite climatic with Dad showing up just as Dash left. This now feels truly complete, and my 3 1/2 star rating has once again gone up to a five. This end feels much more like how the original story went, only with the happy ending we all wanted. So sorry for the hateful words, and I wish to take them back and give you all my internets as compensation. This really feels like the story has closure. And who knows... someone may want to make a sequel to THIS (yo dawg, we heard you like sequels....) In fact, when I get done with my Cupcakes spinoffs, I would love to continue this story, with your permission of course.
Heh... now I feel like Hoity Toity from the episode where Rarity makes the rest of the mane 6 dresses for the Grand Galloping Gala, you know, the guy that judged the fashion shows?
I'm really happy with the outcome. You made it very creative and still had a happy ending. The dream connection ability was very well thought out as well. Props to you.

manly tears were shed during this story.
106292 that is good to hear! In gla you liked the real ending! And yes please feel free to make a sequel! You would not have been the first to ask, but keep Cupcakes away from me and my Dashie
A beautiful ending there my friend. You almost set me to tears with how high you raised the emotional bar!
106331 Honestly as someone who has read Cupcakes, I must really say what the hell is with people's fascination for that fic? It is gory as heck, but the mutilations really lack any emotional weight to them.
My good sir you made this guy happy! I thank you!
It is so much better to read it here than on Google Docs.
Make's me shed tears again. Manly or not, tears.
All I can do is...
106361 i know right? I read that story and was just like what the hell? But then I read my little dashie and it was all good
clever little sneak. i must congratulate you on this epilogue, and use of exact words to trick pretty much everypony. as for the story, it was a great read, and i give it a 5/5.
106218 I can see why you gave it a 10/10
106402 Indeed. Cute and heart warming shall always over power the cheesy gorror fics.
Beautiful story. I loved it. Congratulations on bringing tears to my eyes at least three times.
I... I just...
BEAUTIFUL... SO BEAUTIFUL...
106331That is okay. Pinkie will take Dashie's nimber out... for now. DUN DUN DUNNNN!
It really is more of funny takes on the story though, such as Dash writing it in an insane attempt to join the Wonderbolts and such. My next one will be a Monty Python-esque version of the story where Rainbow is completely calm about the entire thing. But for the sake of all that is good and pleasant, I will not try to cross MLD and Cupcakes again. I wrote a chapter like that for my first parody, and it doesn't seem very well written.
But thanks for the permission; I may get to work with that later on!
>>Sithis It did have some good emotional weight IMO, but I mainly was just interested to satisfy the part of me that's been living off of Gears of War and GTA for the last few years. In short: Violent man needs violence, and Violent fic is violent.
well there it goes, the little impersonation of myself in my mind in bouncing off the furniture in happiness
actually, he is pulling a nice impression of this lovable little furball

Finally, A good fic with a happy ending. Too many of my favorite fics have been ending sadly (or working towards a very sad ending) recently.
Celestia just got counter trolled. Best ending to best sequel.
Dammit! I just finished crying over the ending, come back this morning, and there's an epilogue.

Although cheers guys. You cleared up a LOT of open questions.
Also, Celestia can die in a hole.
