Greetings. I am Vultarian01. Look, I posted this chapter a little sooner than the last one. I could've gotten it out even sooner, but there's school and if you are down in the south cold weather freaks people out. We're on a state wide emergency due to the cold weather that's about to come upon us. So just in case I freeze to death here's chapter 37. I hope you enjoy. Danke.

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of it's respective characters. I also do not own Camershy.

Chapter 37

Saturday, October 17, 9:32pm

Rainbow Dash sat down on a high chair next to the square high table holding a piece of wet paper towel in her hands. She crumpled it up into a cone-like shape before she used it to clean off whatever dried blood was left from her nose. She had bandaged some parts of her face which were covered in claw marks along with a few small bruises. She also had a few bite marks from where Sunset Shimmer bit her during their brawl. Other than that Rainbow Dash didn't look too bad. This, of course, didn't count for her emotional state which wasn't doing her any favors right now. It had been a few hours since her catfight with her nemesis, and she's still feeling the same seething rage she felt then.

However, she wasn't the only one who was upset. After everyone had pried her and Sunset off of each other she immediately changed and stormed out of the CCPW building. A little while later one of them phoned Rainbow Blaze and told him what Rainbow Dash had done and, suffice to say, he wasn't very pleased. As soon as Rainbow Dash got home she was met with a disappointed look from her foster father. Rainbow Blaze didn't immediately scold her though. Instead he calmly ordered Rainbow Dash to clean herself up and wait for him in the kitchen that was connected to the living room.

Rainbow Dash, after wiping out her nose blood, crumpled it up and threw it at the cylindrical trash can. She watched as the wad of wet paper hit the edge and fall into the basket, sinking the shot. Something she normally would feel proud of, despite it being such a miniscule achievement. Yet she still felt anger and discomfort as she turned to face the table and bury her hands in her crossed arms. It wasn't too long afterward that Rainbow Blaze walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter near her chair. His arms were also crossed, and his eyes were piercing the aura of irritation around her adopted daughter.

R. Blaze: "Rainbow Dash…I'll be blunt about this. What the HECK was that all about?!"

Rainbow Dash kept her head buried in her forearms. "It's none of your business!"

Rainbow Blaze's eyes narrowed. "Dash! You can't expect me to take you attacking another kid as none of my business when there's a chance of me getting into legal trouble because of it. You know what you did was wrong and somebody needs to tell you that."

Rainbow Dash lifted her head from her arms, but she didn't make eye contact with Rainbow Blaze. "Ugh, Fine I'm sorry. Can I go to bed now?"

Rainbow Blaze stood from the counter and walked over to Rainbow Dash until he was in front of her. "No Rainbow Dash, you cannot! What's with you lately? From what I've heard from your friends you've been acting like a real jerk."

Rainbow Dash scowled. "WHAT?! They've been just as jerky as I have!" -Rainbow Dash blinked- "That came out wrong."

R. Blaze: "REALLY? Because I don't think anyone of your friends were 'jerky' enough to start a deathmatch with another person."

Rainbow Dash jumped from the chair irritably. "It's wrestling, what did you expect?! Why're you taking Sunset Shimmer's side anyway?! You should have heard the things she said to me! She got in my face and everything! Look at what she did to my face, Rainbow Blaze!" she yelled pointing to her bandaged cuts and bruises.

R. Blaze: "Well, from what I heard you started it and did the same thing to her. In fact one of your friends told me that you've been harassing her more than everyone else."

Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes. "Who told you that?!"

Rainbow Blaze shook his head. "It doesn't matter who told. All that matters is that you apologize to your friends, bro."

Rainbow Dash scoffed. "Forget it! I'm not going to apologize!" Rainbow Dash stated as she turned and began walking away.

R. Blaze: "Rainbow Dash. RAINBOW DASH."

Rainbow Blaze quickly proceeded to follow behind Rainbow Dash until they both reached the living room where Rainbow Blaze grabbed her shoulder. "Don't walk away from me, Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow Dash spun around and slapped his hand off. "Leave me alone! I don't want to talk about it, I just wanna go to bed!"

R. Blaze: "Not until you give Twilight, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer an apology! Rainbow Dash, I know what Sunset did to Fluttershy and everyone else was bad, but at least she's trying to make up for it. I can't say too much for your other friends, but Twilight and Fluttershy were only trying to help you. I know you and Sunset have been at each other's throats before, but I think it's time you two got over yourselves."

Rainbow Dash looked up, stunned by what came out of Rainbow Blaze's mouth. Rainbow Dash's face scrunched up in rage. "Don't tell me to get over it, like you know how I should feel!"

Rainbow Blaze pressed on. "I'm sure Sunset'll apologize to you if-

Rainbow: "I don't WANT an apology from her! I want her to SUFFER!" Rainbow Dash said, now very visibly upset. She could feel her body temperature rising with a noticeable burning in her cheeks.

Rainbow Blaze widened his eyes. He looked pretty upset as well. "Who ARE you?! The Rainbow Dash I know wouldn't say crazy crap like that! Where's the cool, smart, awesome girl that I know?! Sunset had gone through enough being suffering already! She doesn't have important people in her life to help her anymore, and you should know that!"

Rainbow: "Well maybe now she knows how it feels!" screamed Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Blaze paused. "…know how what feels?"

Rainbow Dash didn't stop as she then got in Rainbow Blaze's face. "I'm not apologizing to anyone and you can't make me! You're not the boss of ME! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! AND I WANT TO GO TO BED! NOW!" Rainbow Dash screamed with a stomp of her foot.

It looked like Rainbow Blaze had enough. "ALRIGHT! You want to act like a child and pitch a tantrum?! Then I'll treat you like one, you're grounded for two weeks!"

Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped.

R. Blaze: "That means no TV, no video games, and no going out, especially to CCPW!" Rainbow Blaze stated firmly.

Rainbow Dash gawked. "You can't! I'm the Canterlot Diva's Central Champion!"

Rainbow Blaze showed no sympathy. "You're my daughter first, and a wrestler second. You live under my house, so you'll have to follow my rules. You are only allowed to o out for school, that's it. And I don't want you starting anything with your friends there either."

Rainbow: "How am I going to deal with Sunset?!"

R. Blaze: "I don't know and I don't care! You got yourself into this, and hopefully this will give you some time to think!"

Her mind searched for words, arguments, smart remarks, anything, but Rainbow Dash couldn't come up with squat. With nothing left to say, Rainbow Dash screamed through her teeth and stomped over to her bedroom door in the hallway.

Rainbow: "I HATE YOU!"

Rainbow Dash stomped into her bedroom, but not before slamming the door behind her to cut off further communication with Rainbow Blaze. Her room was kinda-sorta small with a single bed, a few drawers, a large mirror, and a closet. The floor of the room was cluttered with stuff ranging from small weights to discarded foods. Her blue walls were covered with posters of various sports legends like Keion Hoopster and Leon Backer. However, a poster of Rainbowshine was kept distant from the other posters to make it stand out more. It showed Rainbowshine in her wrestling attire making a victory pose in the ring. Black marker was written near the bottom of the poster with the words 'Keep shining like rainbows' with her signature under it. The rest of her room was fairly standard in terms of keep if you didn't count a small hole on the ceiling.

She could feel her body shaking with fury, and decided to take it out on a soccer ball near the foot of her bed. She gave it a good kick, but the ball ended up bouncing off the Rainbowshine poster and hitting her in the head.

Rainbow Dash could feel herself getting angrier as she rubbed her head which now had a circle-shaped red mark. So she threw herself onto her bed and began to scream her vexations into her pillow. She continued to hug the pillow around her face and curse every bad thought into it. She eventually felt herself suffocating and lifted her head. Rainbow Dash felt a little better, but not by much.

Rainbow: "Nobody understands…"

Rainbow Dash looked through her single open window and saw the moon in the sky with a few birds flying in front of it. Then she looked over at her alarm clock for the time. All evidence told her that it was time to go to bed. She went over to switch off the lights before starting to remove her clothes. She didn't feel like digging through her closet to find her night clothes, so she decided to sleep in the buff. After removing a final article of her clothing she got into her bed and covered herself up with her blanket. She turned onto her side until she was facing the moon again. She gazed through the night sky as thoughts jumbled through her head. Why is she the only one getting punished? Why can't she get it through Twilight's head that Sunset Shimmer was, and still is, Satan's whore? Why did Fluttershy attack her like that? All of these questions filled her consciousness, and Rainbow Dash was trying her best to push them back.

Rainbow: "Nobody was there…"

However, one thought in particular didn't take itself into the form of a simple question. This was a memory. A memory of what happened a year ago. That incident.

Rainbow: "Nobody knew what happened…"

Rainbow Dash continued to look into the night out of her simple window. Her ears blocked out all of the sounds of the suburbs and her eyes looked past the stars and into the vacuum of the dark sky. She could feel the lids of her eyes being weighed down by this gravity. Her eyelids lowered more and more as her memory emerged from the darkness...

*Flashback: Sometime Last Year*

A butterfly fluttered along the spring winds as its wings beat gently in the sky. The small creature adventured the air and basked in the sun's rays as it neared the bustling streets of a nearby high school. It ventured around the large building, but eventually landed on a single blade of grass a large distance away from the building, far from any human interaction. However, before it could rest its wings a large shoe swept forward across the luscious field of green; nearly destroying the blade of grass it was resting on. Luckily the shoe's target was a soccer ball not too far away. The toe of the shoe managed to strike the ball and launch it forward into the air before it hit the back of a goal net in the distance.

Rainbow Dash had scored a goal and began to do a victory dance. "Aw yeah! That's right! I'm awesome! Uh-huh!"

Rainbow Dash was on the soccer field next to the Canterlot High building. She would sometimes come out here and kick in a few goals when she was bored. She scored every goal, but that was easy since she was the only one on the field. This didn't withhold her joy though. Even if she was playing with someone, they wouldn't be able to keep up with her. She had just made a punt from the opposite goal and scored which was still something to feel proud about.

After her dance was done she jogged over to get the ball out of the goal net. However, as soon as she picked the ball up a voice rang out of the building.

"RAINBOW DASH! RAINBOW DASH! RAINBOW DASH!"

Rainbow Dash turned to see Pinkie Pie bursting out of the side door of the building and running towards her. Rainbow Dash was about to greet her until she noticed that Pinkie Pie wasn't smiling. In fact she looked very distraught and like she had been running all over the place.

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "What's up Pinkie?"

Pinkie Pie sudden stopped herself in front of Rainbow Dash and bent down to catch her breath.

Rainbow: "Whoa Pinkie Pie, where's the fire?"

Pinkie Pie caught some of her breath and looked up at Rainbow Dash. "*huff* It's…Fluttershy! She's hurt really badly!"

Rainbow Dash's blood suddenly turned cold and her eyes widened with fear. After Pinkie Pie told her where Fluttershy was, Rainbow Dash immediately dropped the ball and bolted past Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash shouldn't have ditched Pinkie like that, but she had no time to wait for her. She rocketed through the side door and through the hallways of the school. She tried to dodge ongoing teachers and students, but she wasn't afraid to knock down a few to get them out of her way. It took so many turns and so much steamrolling over people, but she finally managed to find the Vice Principal Luna's office. She busted through the door and entered the room.

The room was large and square-shaped. It had a typical design any office would have: a few plants, windows covered with shades, and a large, rectangular desk at the back. In front of the desk stood Vice Principal Luna. She was a tall and intimidating woman with long, large ghost-like hair colored a pale, light grayish Persian blue with moderate phthalo blue. It wisped back down her light purple, white-collared shirt with the ends of her hair reaching her dark navy blue pants. She was fixing her collar with the crescent moon symbol on it, but she looked up with her moderate cyan colored eyes to see that Rainbow Dash hyperventilating.

Luna: "Miss Dash, it seemed Miss Pie has found you," said Luna

Rainbow Dash didn't respond. She instead whipped around and saw that most of her friends had beaten her here. Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity were sitting on the long bench against the wall comforting Fluttershy whose face was in her hands. She also had a pink towel wrapped around her hair.

Rainbow: "FLUTTERSHY?!"

The others had already noticed that she had come and looked at her with the same distraught expressions Pinkie Pie had. Fluttershy was the last to raise her head and show her face to Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash's pupils shrunk. "Oh my god..."

Rainbow Dash quickly proceeded to Fluttershy's side while everyone else made room for them. Rainbow Dash sat next to her and embraced her in a crushing hug. Rainbow Dash released Fluttershy from the hug and got a closer, more horrifying look of her. Fluttershy's skin was pale and her eyes were deep red bloodshot. The aroma surrounding her smelled like puke and piss for some reason, and there were dark marks down her eyes. Fluttershy overall looked like she had been through horrendous torture, and her face was still scrunched up in a mixture of fear and pain. Fluttershy suddenly began to cry and Rainbow Dash put her in another embrace. Eventually, Pinkie Pie came back through the door and joined the rest of them.

While Fluttershy cried in Rainbow Dash's chest, both of them still in embrace, Rainbow Dash looked up with a worried look on her face. "What the heck happened?!"

Twilight worriedly fiddled with her hands before answering. "We don't know, yet. A girl found Fluttershy weeping in a stall in one of the girl's bathrooms and she brought her here. Vice Principal Luna called us on the intercom in the lunchroom to come up here."

Rarity's eyes were puffy from crying, but she still added in the explanation. "You weren't in the lunchroom, so Pinkie Pie went to go and find you."

Pinkie Pie frowned with an upset look. "I'm so sorry Dashie! I looked everywhere as fast as I could!"

Twilight walked up to Pinkie Pie and put a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. She didn't smile though. "Don't worry, Pinkie. We know you did your best."

Applejack had her hat removed and her arm crossed. "That's all fine and dandy, but we oughta get to the bottom of this."

Luna stepped forth among them. "I agree," the tall Vice Principal said as she went to take a seat on the other side of Fluttershy. She let her have her cry before she told Rainbow Dash to release her. Reluctantly she did, and Fluttershy sat up again. Luna put a gentle hand on Fluttershy's shoulder.

Luna: "You think you can tell us what happened?" Luna asked soothingly.

All of her friends began to gather around Fluttershy as she slowly began to describe every gruesome detail of what happened to her earlier today. As her sad tale continued from her bumping into Sunset Shimmer to her getting the abuse of a lifetime, everyone's horror increased. As each detail of her suffering is being brought up, Rainbow Dash felt herself more and more angry. Near the end she was trembling with venomous hatred; her fists were clenched so tightly that white appeared o her knuckles, and her teeth were clenched to the point where they look like they could break apart.

The rest of them were just as shocked and horrified at what torment was bestowed upon Fluttershy. Rarity was wiping off some of the mascara that was running from her tears with a tissue. Pinkie Pie looked deeply depressed to the point where she was also in tears. Applejack had been biting down on her hat the entire story, so it wasn't surprising that she was pissed. Twilight put her hands over her mouth, and Vice Principal Luna just sat there with a stoic expression.

Vice Principal Luna's expression suddenly hardened into stone cold discipline. "I'm going to call Sunset Shimmer up here. Excuse me," she said before walking towards the intercom and leaving the girls. Applejack was the first to speak.

Applejack: "Why that little snake!" Applejack exclaimed through her teeth.

Twilight: "Gracious…I'm so sorry, Fluttershy…" Twilight said with a heavy heart.

Fluttershy shook her head. "No, I-It's okay…I messed up her jacket a-and I shouldn't have done that…" stated Fluttershy looking down to her feet.

Rainbow: "Don't you DARE say that Fluttershy! You didn't do anything wrong!" Rainbow Dash snapped which made Fluttershy look up with dispirit.

Applejack: "Rainbow's right, sugarcube. Sunset didn't got no right to do that," Applejack soothed.

Rarity wiped the last of her mascara off to reveal sad, puffy red eyes. "That…*sniff* It's so BARBARIC! Of all the loathsome things she could have done…" -Rarity sits down next to Fluttershy- "…this was simply unforgivable…and I'm so sorry we weren't there to help you, sweetheart," Rarity said with a heavy heart as she gives Fluttershy a side hug.

Soon Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Twilight all embraced her in a large, warming hug of friendship. Rainbow Dash, however, was still standing near the huddle imagining how many ways she could beat Sunset Shimmer's brains out.

Vice Principal Luna used the intercom system to call Sunset Shimmer to her office. Several minutes later, Sunset Shimmer was escorted into the office by one of the other teachers. Vice Principal Luna nodded for the teacher to leave to which he released her and left. Sunset Shimmer looked around with a puzzled look; like as if she had no idea what was going on. And to that, Rainbow Dash acted accordingly.

Rainbow: "I'M GOING TO FLATTEN YOUR FACE INTO A PANCAKE!"

Rainbow Dash was about to launch herself at her, and Sunset Shimmer scream in terror. Luckily Rainbow's friends, except Fluttershy, were quick to subdue her by holding her back. Rainbow Dash tried her best to struggle, but it was hard to escape the combined strength of Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Rarity.

Sunset Shimmer put her hands in front of her with a mixture of shock and fear. "What are you doing?!"

Rainbow glared at Sunset. "I'm trying to kick your ass, that's what I'm doing!"

Luna raised her voice. "RAINBOW DASH! If you don't stop this instant I'm going to remove you from this office. Do you understand me?!"

Rainbow Dash soon stopped her struggle and calmed herself down. Her friends would have released her then, but the way she was looking at Sunset suggested to them that they should give her another minute. They all eventually released her, slowly, and let her contain herself. Rainbow Dash fixed her hair, but never once broke her eyes from Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer frowned. "Is there something wrong?" she asked in a concerned voice.

Rainbow: "Yeah! Look at Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed pointing a finger at Fluttershy who was trembling at being put in the circle of attention.

Sunset Shimmer's mouth hung open as she looked at Fluttershy's face. She put a hand on her chest. "Oh my god, what happened to Fluttershy?!" she stated as she began to walk slowly to her. Fluttershy's eyes widened in fear with each step and, seeing this, Rainbow Dash immediately got in front of her and shoved her back.

Luna: "Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow: "She was upsetting Fluttershy! Not that I'm surprised. She's the one who did this to her after all," Rainbow Dash explained with a cold glare at Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer blinked, but she eventually furrowed her eyebrows. "What?!"

Vice Principal Luna sat down at her desk and folded her fingers. "Sunset Shimmer. You're here because according to Miss Fluttershy you attacked her, made her lick spaghetti off the girl's bathroom floor, and then dunked her head in a toilet with urine in it until she started to suffocate. Is this true?"

Sunset Shimmer put her mouth over her hand in an appalled manner. "Wha-I did no such thing! These accusations are completely false!" Sunset Shimmer stated firmly.

Applejack: "Don't give us that malarkey, Sunset! She couldn't a done this to herself!"

Twilight crossed her arms. "Yeah Sunset, confess to your crime!"

Sunset Shimmer crossed her arms too, and narrowed her eyes. "It wasn't me I swear it!"

Rainbow: "You better confess or I'm going to tear out your teeth until you do!" threatened Rainbow Dash.

Luna's eyes grew wide. "Rainbow Dash, don't make me do something you'll regret…" said Luna with a low anger that made Rainbow Dash shut her mouth.

Sunset: "I demand proof!" Sunset Shimmer yelled, "You can't say I did anything without something to back it up!"

The words hung in the air for a while as they all waited for someone to supply the answer. A little while later they looked back and forth amongst one another and found that Sunset Shimmer was right. They didn't have any solid proof or evidence suggesting she attacked Fluttershy. Good thing solid evidence isn't necessarily needed because Twilight thought of a few ideas.

Twilight looked over at Luna. "Vice Principle Luna, do we have any footage from the security tapes?"

Luna shook her head. "I'm afraid not. For some reason the security camera was broken within the timeframe."

Rainbow Dash was thrown for a loop. "What?! Security cameras can't be broken! Don't you have some kind of backup or something?!"

Luna shook her head once more. "I'm afraid not."

Twilight: "Okay, were there any witnesses?" Twilight inquired.

Luna: "I don't think so, and if there were, no one came forth," she informed Twilight.

Twilight held her head. "Oh…umm…" -Twilight turned to Fluttershy- "Do you remember if anyone was there when Sunset attacked you-

Sunset: "I didn't attack her!" Sunset shouted with an upset expression.

Luna: "Be quiet" Luna ordered.

Fluttershy looked between Sunset Shimmer and Twilight before shaking her head. "N-No…I…don't remember…" It was obvious to Rainbow Dash and the others that she wasn't being completely honest.

Rarity: "You don't have to be afraid, darling. She won't hurt you."

Sunset Shimmer unfolded her arms and tears immediately began flowing down her cheeks. "I…I didn't do anything, I swear! I wouldn't hurt nobody!"

Rainbow: "Quit feeding us Bullshit, Sunset!"

Sunset Shimmer's face scrunched up with misery expressed through her face. "I…I didn't do anything! *hic* I'm telling the tr-truth! I wouldn't do something like that to Flu-Fluttershy! *hic* *hic* Why's everyone always blaming ME?! I'm not a bad girl!"

Luna: "Okay, Sunset Shimmer just calm down-

Sunset turner her attention, and sorrows, to the Vice Principle. "Please believe me Vice Principle Luna! Every time someone accuses me of horrible things they—they were always wrong! How many times do I have to be accused of something to get the line across that I'm...I-I'm an independent and sound-minded woman w-with some HUMAN DECENCY!"

Every minute she spoke the rest of the Main 6 were growing more and more impatient. Rainbow Dash looked like she was about to vomit in disgust.

Sunset: "I don't know why Fluttershy would…LIE, but I'm innocent! Ask anyone!" Sunset Shimmer blubbered.

Applejack chimed in. "You mean any one who won't rat you out!"

Sunset spun around until she was facing the group of girl with tears in her eyes. "STOP IT! What have I ever done to you?! I don't deserve this kind of treatment! I already have enough to deal with what with school, work, and my personal life! I don't know who you think you are, but you all just need to learn to get a life and stop trying to bring me down!" –Sunset Shimmer then glared at Fluttershy- "And YOU! How DARE you lie to Vice Principle Luna about me! I thought you were nicer than that, Fluttershy! I thought you were a selfless person who wouldn't hurt anyone! I guess not!"

Fluttershy was now crying again, and everyone went back to comfort her.

Rainbow: "Leave her alone, Sunset! You're the one who's lying!"

Sunset didn't let up. "STOP CALLINNG ME A LIAR!"

Luna: "SILENCE!" Luna said as she slammed her hands hard against her guess making everyone in the room shut up. Luna then looked over at the Main 6. "Sunset's right. I can't punish her for a crime without proper evidence."

Rainbow Dash gawked. "What! Look at Fluttershy! You think she did this to HERSELF?!"

Luna: "I honestly do want to believe you girls, but again I'm not allowed to punish a student without proper evidence. Innocent until proven guilty, so they say."

Applejack tried giving it a shot. "Well Fluttershy's lookin' like this! Ain't that enough proof?!"

Luna sighed deeply. "All that proves is that it happened to her; not that Sunset Shimmer did it."

Twilight: "Does Sunset even have an alibi?!"

Sunset Shimmer nodded her head furiously. "Yes! Yes I do! I was helping some fellow students with a project before I was brought here! Just ask them!" Sunset Shimmer begged.

Luna: "Fine, I will. Everyone just calm yourselves down…" she said as she went to pick up a phone. Meanwhile Sunset Shimmer continued to weep softly as the rest of the Main 6 continued to nurture Fluttershy.

And so Sunset Shimmer gave Vice Principal Luna the students' names of the group she claimed she was in. Luna called and asked the teachers to question the students, and the student's confirmed that Sunset Shimmer was helping them with a project. She even asked the teacher who escorted Sunset Shimmer to her office, and he also confirmed that he found her just leaving from the group meeting. Rainbow Dash and the rest of Fluttershy's friends rose up a storm about this, but unfortunately Luna had to let Sunset Shimmer go. She said that this case would still be left open, but they all knew that nothing was going to happen. However, Fluttershy was allowed to leave school early so Luna called her father and told him what happened. Apparently he was yelling on the phone about how he was going to sue the school for negligence, but Luna brushed it off. She knew he wasn't the lawsuit type.

Everyone was waiting at the front of the school doors until Camershy's pickup truck rode down the side of the street. Rainbow Dash and the others escorted Fluttershy to the truck, with Rarity giving her body wash shampoo options to wash off the urine and vomit. Camershy opened the passenger door and let Fluttershy in. Rainbow Dash apologized one more time before Camershy drove away to take his daughter home. So they all stood there, helpless to their friend.

Twilight looked pretty depressed as she gave a sigh audible to everyone. "We can't stay here. We better get back to class," Twilight said sadly.

Pinkie Pie's poofy hair lost most of its poof because of her mood, but she nodded. "Okaaay…"

Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack then went to go to their classes only leaving Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash looked down at her fists which were red from clenching, and were also fairly sweaty.

Rainbow: "I should have been there, Twilight…"

Twilight frowned and put a hand on her shoulder. "You couldn't do anything. I know you would've if you could've, but all you can do now is help Fluttershy feel better. And Sunset Shimmer won't get out of this if we have anything to say about it," Twilight told Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash didn't respond, so Twilight told her to talk to her if she needs anything before leaving for class. Rainbow Dash declined and Twilight left with her tail in between her legs. Rainbow Dash looked down the road where Fluttershy drove off. She wanted to feel better from hearing Twilight's mini pep talk. However, all she could remember from that was "You couldn't do anything."

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and exhaled before she started to make her way back to class. But as soon as she turned around she saw a figure standing against the wall outside the school building. The figure was a female; a tall female with fiery hair and a wicked grin across her face. She curled her finger, begging Rainbow Dash to come closer. Rainbow Dash suddenly felt her face burn and a pressure surrounding her heart. She began to run as fast as she could towards the girl, but halfway there she tripped and fell into the ground where the grass started to die. Soon she felt herself become entangled by the dying weeds and cried for help. She listened to the girl in the distance cackle and laugh as the dead blades of grass pulled her down into a dark and suffocating emptiness…

Rainbow Dash's eyes were closed.

Okay, if anybody is confused about this chapter you can tell me in a review. But I'm sure you won't be. Regardless, send me a review and I'll be happy before my blood freezes and I become a human pop-sickle. So until next chapter. Arevoir!
