The Fading Rainbow

The clouds over Ponyville was nice and clear, all thanks to the pegasus who worked hard every day to do a good job. There was one pony who would brag about how she did the best work and how fast she could do it. That would be the pony with the rainbow color mane, Rainbow Dash. After she was done with the day’s job, she would speed by Carousel Boutique. Rainbow wanted to see the one pony that would for some reason make her heart flutter just by the way the wind would blow through her mane. Rarity keep it so clean and styled, Rainbow could never keep her mane that good looking. The way Rarity held herself also made her week in the knees. But there was no way she would let anypony know this. She was too cool to have these feelings or even have feelings for another mare.

Rarity walked out to head to the shops to get some new material for a dress that needed to be done by tomorrow night. Before she could move out of the way, Rainbow Dash came crashing into her. The two ponies went tumbling down the road. There was a cloud of dust trailed behind them as the rolled. A few ponies stopped and watched the two mares slide to a few feet away from where Rarity was once standing.

“What is the meaning of this Rainbow Dash?!” Rarity glared at Rainbow for causing her to roll around in the dirt. She was about to give Rainbow whining that would make the ones that she give the Diamond Dogs look like a whimper. But before she could get it out, Rainbow being to say something.

“I’m sorry… I kind of wasn’t um… seeing where I was going. I” Rainbows Dash looked around as she could feel the blood rush to her ears. – “I should be going now anyway. Later Rarity.” And there went Rainbow shooting away from the lost Rarity, sitting on her haunches blinking in the dust.

Rainbow used one of her front hooves to wipe the sweat running down her face. That was a close one. I can’t let her see me blushing. I just can’t let anyone know that I like another mare. Rainbow Dash hid on the one of the clouds in the sky above. She looked up to the blue sky as she tried to get her heart rate down. It was beating through her chest. She closed her eyes so that for any pegasus who flew by would think that she was just taking one of her naps again.

There was no way she was going to let anypony think that she was not cool. For having these kind of feelings for another mare. It would kill her to hear what other ponies thought of her and of Rarity. She couldn’t do it to the pony that made her heart skip a beat every time she saw her. This was the first time she had ever made such a mistake. Was she losing her cool? Was she fading like an old rainbow? Oh Celestia, what am I going with my feelings for her?
