Keep on Skating (An appledash fanfic)

Chapter 21 (Last Chapter)

Yup!! The chapter you've all been waiting for is finally here. This is the final chapter. Enjoy :)

Rainbow's POV

"You sure you're okay to do this??".

I nod my head, a serious look on my face.

"Yeah. I think I can do it".

I look at the door that led out to the rink. I was finally going to do it. It had to be done at some point in my life.

I took a deep breath and let it out.

"I can do this", I said. "I've put it off for enough time. It's time to get this done with so I can finally move on with my life".

I look up at Applejack. She smiled at me. She leaned in and gave me a soft kiss. I close my eyes and lean in.

Arms around my waist securely. I relax in her arms, cupping her face with my hands. The kiss made all my doubts and fears melt away.

Breaking the kiss, I softly smile at her.

"Thank you, Applejack", I say. "For everything".

Applejack smiled. "No problem. Now go on out there n' do yir best. Make your mom proud, just like you always do. Me and the gals will be watchin".

Applejack pulled away.

"You'll be perfect", she called over her shoulder, as she walked out. "Skatin' is second nature to ya so have fun out there".

Then she disappeared. She had a point. Why was I so nervous??. I've skated in front of them before. It wasn't a competition. It was only me out there. So why did it make so nervous doing this song??

Then I remembered why. I haven't skated to this song ever since my mom was alive. That was years ago.

The flashback started in my head. I heard the screams of panic. I saw the gun. The blood. I feel my mom shielding me.

I shake myself awake.

No. It happened a long time ago. She's at peace now and I need to do this song for her. She'll be watching. Just like every year.

I nod my head.

I walk out of the room. I head out to the stadium. Sure enough, my friends, Applejack, and Steven were sitting there talking.

I walk over to them. Rarity has the laptop on her lap.

They noticed me and smiled.

"Wow", Twilight said. "I love that outfit".

I grin, hands on my hips.

"Thanks. I can't wait to get out in the ice".

I turn my head and look over at the rink. The ice was glistening like freshly fallen snow. It was beautiful and untouched. Perfect.

"You remember the song??", Rarity asked.

I look at her.

"How could I forget??", I ask with a shrug. "It was my mom's favorite song to perform".

I could feel my mind start to wander. I stop it by shaking my head rapidly, making a silly noise.

The girls are looking at me funny.

I giggle. "Sorry. Just trying not to think about it or I just might back out last minute".

"Then get in out there", Steven said, grinning. "I've been waiting years to see you do this song again".
