"Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked, concerned. Fluttershy shook her head. "You know he was just joking, right..?" Twilight added. Some hours after the picnic with the TV star Nicolas, Rainbow and Twilight decided to visit Fluttershy, to be sure she was okay.

Fluttershy sighed.

"H-he doesn't like me..I- I'm not worth him.. And..he's m-mean" Fluttershy sniffled.

"What are you talking about? He's not mean, he's amazing!" Rainbow began. "I'm sure it was a misunderstanding." Fluttershy still felt sad, even though she was happy her friends came and cared about her. Rainbow came closer to Fluttershy and putted her hoof on her shoulder as she smiled at her.

"No need to worry." she whispered. Fluttershy's heart seemed to beat twice as fast as before and a bright blush crept on her face with Rainbow being so close. Their noses almost touched.

Rainbow Dash soon backed away as Twiglight spoke: "Also, Nicolas asked if we wanted to play in his next movie!"

"You're playing too, right?" Rainbow asked.

"W-what? Me? I can't act, and I don't want to be in television either. I'm sure the movie will be a lot nicer without me.."

"Come on Flutters, are you sure? We're all playing." Rainbow said.

"I'm really sorry..." Fluttershy said. She really hates being on the center of the attention, or being on stage or on television... Especially with a certain Nicolas being around her.

"Okay, have it your way then" Rainbow sighed.

"Are you guys staying a little bit?" Fluttershy asked biting on her lip, enjoying the presence of her friends.

"Uhm, well.. Me and Nicolas were going to have a race right now, actually." The cyan Pegasus said. Fluttershy nodded, disappointed.

"And I have some work to do in the library... Oh and Flutters, we're not going to the spa tomorrow... We have an repetition for the movie." Twilight said. Fluttershy was now extra disappointed, since the spa was a tradition.

"We'll see you later." Rainbow said as she walked away, Twilight following. Once the door was closed, Fluttershy felt very lonely. Now she had nothing to look forward to, which made her quite scared.

That was only the beginning. The next couple of days and weeks Fluttershy saw her friends less and less due to Nicolas' new movie. Fluttershy felt alone and she missed her friends so much. Once she was on the way to the market to buy some food and she heard common voices. She immediately recognized Rainbow Dash's voice, so it caught her attention. Fluttershy decided to quietly step to the place where the voices came from.

She saw all of her friends picnicking together, along with Nicolas… She wasn't even invited. Her heart felt broken. Also, many tears followed on this. It was now real. This famous stallion took her place.

Even when Fluttershy encountered some of her friends, the only subject they would be talking about was this 'handsome' colt (the others talking and Fluttershy listening, obviously). Everypony admired him... And she.. She was some garbage, meaning anything to anypony.

Things went worse as several months passed. . She missed her friends badly. Especially this cyan colored pony. Once Rainbow wasn't there anymore, Fluttershy realized how important this pony was to her. Her life seemed so worthless without her filly friend. Fluttershy woke up every morning with the thought of not seeing Rainbow anymore and became more depressed day by day. She didn't smile anymore, didn't laugh anymore, didn't leave her house anymore and even her animal friends couldn't make her feel better. She missed her friends. She missed Rainbow. She missed the pegasus who meant the world to her.

Fluttershy thought and thought. Rainbow smiling at her. Rainbow talking to her. Rainbow caring for her. The memories of her made her heart go crazy. Rainbow was a really close friend, and they had a strong bond although their characters were absolutely opposite. The green eyed pegasus always thought this was just a real strong friendship, but she had that strange, overwhelming, warm feeling through her whole body. She wanted to hug her. Cuddle with her. Or even.. Kiss her. It was so odd. A mare couldn't possibly.. fall in love.. with another mare.. could it?

At the same time tears rolled down her face. She meant nothing anymore to Rainbow Dash. Everything was gone.
