** Flash also suffered a DyingDream throughout the chapter. He experiences what his life would be like if he never saved Twilight from those bullies, and it is so much worse. He is eventually captured and thrown in prison, and even after he gets out he is treated as a criminal by everyone, even his friends from Ponyville, even when he tries to do the right thing. It gets so unbearable that he nearly gives up and accepts his death to end the torment, until he hears his friends calling out to him in the real world.

* During "Reinforcements from the Future", when Flash works with a [[FutureBadass future version of Fire Heart]], he eventually learns that [[YourDaysAreNumbered at some point in the future, he will die in battle]]. Heart says he died [[HeroicSacrifice saving every kingdom]], but everyone was left miserable afterwards for a long time, and [[TheLostLenore Twilight never really got over it]]. Though Flash seems to be okay with this at first, he eventually swears to himself that he is going to survive and change the future for the better.
** [[spoiler:Fortunately, while Flash did sacrifice himself in order to saves Equestria, it was only temporarily as he was brought back to life by Faust. Also, Heart was lying about that part as he was instructed by Future Flash to do so.]]

* Remarie makes a reappearance in "Grand's Regret", and we learn [[TheLostLenore she never moved on from Number Cruncher's death]]. She never dated again after him and therefore never had a family of her own, with her great nieces Rarity and Sweetie Belle being the closest thing she has to family now. She claims that Number Cruncher was her OneTrueLove and she could never find anyone after him, though she later admits to Rarity it was actually because [[NeverBeHurtAgain she never wanted to feel the pain of losing someone again]]. The chapter ends on a bittersweet note, where despite Remarie and Grand Hoof restarting their friendship and spending a lot of her visit together, they still remain JustFriends, despite their grandnieces and grandson hoping they could be each other's SecondLove.

* Trixie, Pinkie, and Fluttershy are pulled into the past, and witness Celestia banishing Nightmare Moon. Celestia spots them not long afterwards, and after they explain to her how they are from the future she asks them if she ever sees her sister again. After a moment of hesitation, Fluttershy confirms that yes, she will return, but not for a thousand years. This causes Celestia to [[DramaticDrop drop the Elements of Harmony in shock]] before her legs give out beneath her, and she proceeds to break down crying.
* Applejack's reunion with her parents is both sad and heartwarming. She is conflicted over possibly warning them of their fate so they will still be with her in the Present, but Rogue tries to warn her how [[ButterflyOfDoom that could have catastrophic effects]]. When they are pulled back to the Present, Applejack cries out how she isn't ready to leave yet and while everyone else is happy to be back home all she can do is cry that it isn't fair. She does get a second chance to say goodbye though, when she returns Baby Apple Bloom to them before leaving them forever through the last time portal, but all she can do afterwards is cry.

* We see the rest of Wild Smile's family in "A Wild Family Vacation", and while he gets along great with his younger cousins the rest of his family doesn't think too great of him, with some even insulting him behind his back. He has even kept his role in the Battle of Canterlot a secret from everyone, including his parents, because he is scared of what they will think of him if he admits it.
* In "A Dash of Parenting Advice", Rainbow and Soarin discuss eventually having kids together when they are chosen to train some young fillies and colts that won a contest. Rainbow isn't excited about having to raise a kid from birth herself and all the stress and sacrifices that comes with it. After talking with some of the parents of the kids and hearing about how much hard work it is for them but how rewarding they find it, Rainbow breaks the news to Soarin how she feels she doesn't want to have kids. Though she is willing to compromise with Soarin, being willing to adopt an older kid and Soarin saying that is okay with him, Soarin is still deeply saddened by this since he wanted a kid that was part of the two of them, and knows it wouldn't be fair for him to force Rainbow to do something she doesn't want to do. Though thankfully, Rainbow becomes more open to the idea of having kids of her own after spending some time with Comet Streak, one of the young colts, and tells Soarin maybe she was wrong before.

* Heart is a lot moodier in "Forest Therapy" as he still haven't gotten over Cozy's betrayal. This is shown by him acting much more violently during training, to the point of frying the simulated bad guys alive, and refusing to have fun on the camping trip with his friends to the point he eventually snaps at them. Ultimately though, he starts his path to recovering when First and Ruby talk to him, and tell him if he lets what happened with Cozy dictate his life forever then she'll have won.

* Despite Mean Flash previously appearing to be the TokenGoodTeammate of the Mean Seven and getting to be the SoleSurvivor to apparently live his life in peace, he really gets the short end of the stick in this story.
** Shroudheart tracks him down and reveals to him that in every timeline he always dies within a year. The reason varies from his identity being discovered, the real Flash kills him in self-defense, or [[YourDaysAreNumbered the magic that brought him to life just runs out]]. Shroudheart ultimately convinces Mean Flash to join his plan to destroy the real Flash, with Mean Flash even openly saying he hates the real Flash and wants his life for himself.
** The final scene of the story has him suffer a FateWorseThanDeath when he unwillingly becomes the new host for Armalum.

After spending years with his friends and family in Ponyville, he now needs to stay in Aurarora as its new chief. Though he and the pups will still be able to visit Equestria, this marks the end of a major point in everyone's lives, and Spike, Heart, Soul, Twilight, and Flash are all clearly TryingNotToCry as they all say their goodbyes. It is even sadder when you remember the rest of the Mane Cast, and even the rest of Ponyville, isn't there and can't say goodbye themselves, after seeing how much they all care for Springer and the pups.

Right as he expresses relief that he got to live to see his tribe be free to see the outside world, and peace seems to be well on its way between them and Equestria, he is suddenly ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice from behind by Razor Claw, who sees him as weak for trying to make peace with the "enemy" and believes he will destroy them. When everyone finds Sirius slowly dying from his wounds, Mirage is left devastated, begging him not to leave her.

* Springer being AloneAmongTheCouples. Not just among the rest of the Mane Characters, but practically the rest of Ponyville too. At first he thought he was fine being single, since all his friends were single when he met them and they were all happy, so he thought they were all he would ever need. But now, having seen them each find someone to call their special somepony left him [[GreenEyedMonster feeling hallow due to never being able to have what they do]], all because he is TheLastOfHisKind.
* Fire Heart is [[LoveHurts still hurting]] from Cozy Glow's betrayal, [[TookALevelInJerkass becoming a lot moodier]] since then. His crush betraying him and everyone else shook him to his very core, causing his joy and his happy and upbeat personality to almost completely vanish. Now he is always acting serious, constantly annoyed by everything, and a lot of his fellow students have given him the wide berth because of these changes. Flash and the others have tried to cheer him up a few times, and it seemed like they almost succeeded at times, only for something to GoHorriblyWrong and remind him of Cozy, putting him back to square one. Soul is also very worried for her brother, since she can't do anything to help him herself besides pray for him, and fears that if he doesn't turn things around soon, she will lose the happy and excitable brother she knows and loves forever.

* "School Raze" has a few moments:
** Due to Magic failing all across Equestria, Flash has started to lose access to his Sacred Light. This leaves him very weak and tired for most of the two-parter, and he eventually remembers what happened to Shadow when he lost the Corrupted Shadow, realizing if he loses the Sacred Light he will ''die''. When the Mane 7 and Spike are trapped in Tartarus, unable to open the door without magic, Flash tries to perform a HeroicSacrifice and use the last of his Sacred Light to open the door for the others, with Twilight stopping him. Once they all finally escape, it is almost the end of the third day and Flash finally collapses from exhaustion, with his friends gathering around him in worry. It is clear he almost died had it not been for the students returning the magic at the last moment.
** Cozy Glow's betrayal hits Fire Heart especially hard. He is not only betrayed by his friend, but his very first crush. Cozy [[WeCanRuleTogether offers him a chance to join her]], but makes it clear she can't release his sister Soul and Starlight with him. Heart chooses his sister and friends over Cozy, so she has no problem leaving him to be sucked into another dimension forever. Although Cozy is defeated in the end, Heart is still left heartbroken and devastated by her betrayal, with him even saying he is never going to let himself get as close as he was with her to anyone ever again. Flash, Twilight, and a few others can tell he is clearly not okay but aren't in any condition to help him right now.
