It was late, and the sun was almost completely out of the sky.  It had been a long, long day, and it was finally at an end.

 

The Pan Equestria Games had been absolutely wonderful this year, and everypony there had had quite an experience.  This held true for Rarity as much as anypony present, but she certainly had it in her mind that this would be talked about for ages... all the more reason for her to keep the day's events in mind for her diary later tonight.

 

She had made her way to the far end of the stadium; she'd had a momentary view of the field that had been simply inspirational - and she felt that she still needed just a smidge more inspiration to really help push her creativity over the line and into full-on Design Mode.

 

"Ohhhh... such a view!  I DO wish I had a photograph of this splendor - but I suppose a few more minutes to soak all this in properly wouldn't be TOO much to spare!  After all, one simply cannot rush greatness, can they?"

 

Smiling, she lost herself in the total embrace of the moment.  Sometimes, there's just that ONE angle you see things in that makes everything look special and different... and Rarity was utterly focused on trying to find that one special spot again.

 

UTTERLY focused.

Black Jack casually strolled his way past numerous ponies busying themselves as he approached the Stadium, the games themselves were a complete success despite the drama and numerous set backs that unfolded over the past few weeks, but that was now all in the past, they had achieved what they wanted to do...and it felt so good.

 

With the games now over there was no reason for the ponies who came all across Equestria to Ponyville especially for the games, so for now the crowds were beginning to disperse, the majority of them making for the train station to catch the next ride home.

 

The same applied to Golbez and his small army of stage hooves, who came specifically to assist in the creation of the games, much to the surprise of Rarity whom was elected the head of the whole project.

Far to the outskirts of the town by the Ponyville lake stood the large airship which Golbez and his crew used to transport themselves all the way from Los Pegasus.

An impressive sight indeed, the airship towered over the ponies below it as they began loading up their equipment back intot he rear cargo hold, makeshifts workshops made of tents were taken down one by one all around the it.

 

Golbez meanwhile sat in his office, situated deep into the bowels of the ship with a quill in talon and a mess of papers before him, all of which asking for signature as  result of unforeseen costs from his stage hooves, whilst dedicated they weren't what he would call "reliable".

"Broken town spire...two hundred bits, ten replacement trees to Miss Jacks farm...eight hundred bits..." he paused and put down his quill in it's ink bottle as gave his wrist a slight reprieve, he clench and un-clenched his claws as he lightly rubbed his wrist with the other talon.

 

He sighed, sliding off of his chair he walked over to his own porthole and gazed out onto the field, below he could see many of his stagehooves below packign up, a pegasi flew by the window, the griffon glanced up and saw he was just doign his checks on the ship itself, making sure it was fit to fly again as he inspected one of its wings.

It was hard to believe it was all over if he was honest, they'd spent such a long time putting this whole event together, almost longer than it took to hold the games themselves in fact, and now it was all over, he resented that in a way, if it were possible he would have much prefered to continue working on yet another project here, but alas...all things had to come to an end, and as one chapter ended another began anew.

 

Yet, Golbez really wished it didn't.

 

Black Jack spotted Rarity admiring the view of the stadium they'd worked hard to build together, he didn't blame her of course, the zebra approached the mare quietly and sat beside her, keeping a fair distance as he shared the view.

"Looks grand don't it? Truth be told I never thought it would all be over, feels like the whole thing just flew by, don't it?" he grins in a friendly manner.

She jumped ever-so-slightly, then looked over her flank at her guest.  She grinned, then turned back to the scene before them.

 

"Oh, yes - I certainly agree.  One would think that a stadium such as this would only be a sight when it's packed... but, there's a certain quiet dignity that goes with this place after the crowds have left.  So many heroes and champions passing through here... it's absolutely inspirational!"

 

She gazed out into the field, looking statuesque in the fading light of day.  She smoothed back an errant curl, then sighed deeply as she looked over the entire scene - it was as if her mind was elsewhere, possibly working itself into Design Mode - and she gave a slight smile as her eyes drank in the fading light's effect on the whole area.

 

"It's rather lovely, really... to think of all the ponies that have passed through here, victors and failures, triumph and tragedy... such inspiring energies!  I KNOW there's a pattern here somewhere that I've yet to make out - but I am still at a loss to actually FIND it."

 

She continued to watch the scene, now leaning against the rail carefully as she kept caressing the stadium with her eyes, trying to lull a dress design out of the sporting arena by searching for what brought it all together in THIS spot alone.

 

"The games went rather well, all things considered... but let's hope things will be smoother next year, hmm?"

 

She gave a small, rueful smile at the thought.

Cherry flew above the stadium in passing and circled around when she noticed Black Jack and Rarity sitting on the field, she swooped down low and hovered over the pair.

"Well there you are!" she said excitedly, "Aahh, here comes trouble," said Jack as he raised a hoof up, Cherry giggled as she swooped low and slapped it with her own before pointing at him with both of her fore-hooves, with Jack doing the same, "Aaaaaaayyyyyyeeee".

 

Cherry landed in front of the two with a giggle as she looked at Unicorn, "Miss rarity, it's great I managed to find you, Golbez was wondering if he could have a word with you before he left? If...that's ok?" She smiled sheepishly at the Unicorn expectantly.

"Oh yeah, I wanted to see Dash before I left too, any idea where I could find her?" he said, also looking at Rarity.

Rarity swept her gaze across the field once again, then gave a soft sigh.

 

"Well, I suppose inspiration will simply have to wait; more discerning company calls."

 

She turned to Jack and gave him a light nudge with her shoulder.

 

"Again, I have to admit - we DO make quite a team, do we not?  I should say they should give US medals for getting this accomplished... and OH, SO worth it!  Thank you, Jack, for all you've done here.  I most certainly couldn't have done it without you, Darling."

 

Looking back to her other guest, she gave Cherry a winning smile.

 

"I would indeed be willing to meet with Golbez!  Should I ask where to find him, or shall I simply look for the zeppelin?"
