Chapter 4: Special Touch

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Pinkie was enjoying the new side of Rainbow Dash; it was like having a sister who was as goofy and silly as her. The two ponies were bouncing perfectly out of sync, one would go up and the other would go down and vice versa.

However after thirty minutes of searching through the forest, they had not found a single shred of evidence of any of the other Rainbow Dashes.

“Oh I hope we find one of your sisters soon, or else our Rainbow Dash will be lost forever!” Pinkie said finally stopping.

“Don’t worry Pinkie I’m sure we’re bound to find one soon enough, we just gotta keep our heads together and focus!” Yellow RD said reassuring Pinkie.

“That’s why I like you Yellow RD! You’re always looking at the positives in a situation.” Just then Pinkie heard a giggling in the distance.

“Wait did you hear that?” Pinkie asked.

“Hear what?”

“Listen.” Again a giggling could be heard in the distance. Pinkie flattened herself on the ground and motioned for Yellow RD to follow, which she did.

Pinkie followed the sound of the laughter, and after pulling away some brush Pinkie ended up finding a blue pegasus that was covered in birds and butterflies. It was a Rainbow Dash all right, Pinkie thought; however her blue coat was much darker than her usual cyan.

When Yellow RD joined Pinkie and took notice of one of her sisters she called out “Look there’s one, get her!”

The birds and butterflies around Blue RD took off, and whipping around to see Pinkie and Yellow RD she became frightened and flew off, sticking low to the ground.

“Quick we gotta chase her!” Pinkie yelled. Both of the ponies followed her, but Blue RD being afraid made her quick and impossible to catch.

Luckily she followed low to the ground so she wasn’t out of eyesight. Eventually Yellow RD and Pinkie chased the blue peagsus up a tree and she simply took hold of one of the branches.

“Don’t worry I’ll get her!” Yellow RD said as she started to fly off, however Pinkie grabbed her stopping her climb.

“Wait hang on we can’t go up there!”

“Why not?” Yellow RD asked confused.

“Because we need to bring her back with us, and she’s not going to come easily if she’s all freaked out. We need to handle this gently.” Both ponies stopped and put their hooves to their chins.

After sitting and thinking for a little bit, Pinkie sat up excited.

“I have an idea! You stay here and make sure Blue RD doesn’t go anywhere! We need to get an expert on this!”

“Roger dodger!” Yellow RD saluted her hoof and sat keping a close eye on the pony in the tree.

Fluttershy walked up to the tree where Yellow Rainbow Dash was standing guard and looked up to see a small blue dot in the air.

“She’s up there, we need you to convince her to come down.” Pinkie Pie told Fluttershy.

“We’ll okay, but I’m much better with cute little animals. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do the same with Rainbow Dash.”

“Just think of her as a frightened little bird, okay?” Pinkie Pie said with a smile.

“Okay.” Fluttershy started to make her way up the tree floating between branches trying to reach Blue RD.

Yet when she was almost three quarters of the way there Yellow RD called out to her, “Hey Fluttershy! Make sure not to look down because you’re really high up!”

“What?” Fluttershy asked, but it was too late as she looked down realizing how incredibly high she was. Now frightened by the height, she quickly buckled and attached herself to one of the tree branches.

“It’s too high!” Fluttershy squeaked.

“Great, now we have to get both of them down!” Yellow RD said.


“Hang on, lets see if this can still work.” Pinkie Pie whispered.
Fluttershy was scared and shaking, but she remembered that Rainbow Dash was in trouble so she mustered up some courage and called out to the Blue Rainbow Dash.

“Um…excuse me, Blue Rainbow Dash?”

“What?” she called back.

“Do- do you think you can come and sit on this branch with me? I’m pretty scared of heights too and I don’t wanna be up here by myself.” Blue RD looked down at Fluttershy and noticed that she was shaking as bad as she was.

She felt bad, and didn’t want to be alone either so she said, “Oh-Okay, hang on.” Blue Rainbow Dash slowly descended down the tree and attached herself to the same branch Fluttershy was on.

“Thank y-you.” Fluttershy said under her breath.

“No problem.” Blue RD muttered back.

There was a long awkward pause and neither ponies looked each other in the eye. Rainbow Dash was one of Fluttershy’s best friends sure, but her Rainbow Dash was courageous enough for the both of them. Now Fluttershy had to be the courageous one and it made her nervous.

A butterfly came and rested on top of Fluttershy’s hoof. This caught Blue RD’s attention and giggled as it flapped its wings slowly. Fluttershy saw this and held out her hoof to Blue RD, and the pony held out her own.

The butterfly walked across Fluttershy’s hoof onto Blue RD’s, and she smiled as she held it in close to examine it. After a moment the butterfly flew away and both ponies giggled. Blue RD turned over and looked at Fluttershy smiling.

“You know, I bet if we help each other. Getting down might not be as scary.” Fluttershy said.

“Ye- yeah, I think you’re right.” Both ponies stood up on the branch and took hold of one another, they flapped their wings lifting up off of the branch and slowly descended toward the ground.

Yellow RD and Pinkie Pie were waiting at the bottom for them, and when both pegasus’s Blue RD hid behind Fluttershy.
“She’s okay now, she was just frightened is all.” Fluttershy said as Blue RD nodded her head.

“Well we should find Twilight now and tell her we got another RD.” Pinkie Pie said. Yet at that moment Twilight, Purple RD and AppleJack dragging along the Green RD in the net showed up.

“Oh Pinkie good you found another of Rainbow Dash’s personalities.”

“Yup, but we needed the special Fluttershy touch.” Pinkie said motioning to Fluttershy who blushed and looked away.

“Good we’re going to need all the help we can get. Quick how many Rainbow Dash’s are we missing?”

“Let’s see,” Purple RD started. “We have her Happiness, Athleticism, Intelligence and I’m guessing that one is her fear correct?” Pinkie Pie and Yellow RD nodded.

“I know we are still missing her anger, but what’s the last one we’re forgetting?” Twilight asked.

All the ponies stopped to think for a second and then like a tiny mouse Blue RD spoke up

“I may know.”
