Her enthusiasm faded and her voice got low as she began to tell me the story of her and Fluttershy's life." I knew her since Flight School when I was just a filly. She was born a runt and her wings never grew out properly she couldn't even hover under her own power at the time. All the other Pegasus in our class made fun of her and made her feel so self conscience about her condition. And the worst offender of all was me.

I was assigned to her against my own will and status as the youngest and strongest flyer in our class to help her gain strength and graduate from school. I was sickened by her weakness and gave up on her when she needed me the most.

One day I told her life would be better for me if she just died and I wouldn't have to waste my time and energy. She bawled and pleaded with me to help her and that I was her only friend. I ignored her cries for help and walked off I will regret that what for as long as I live. The next day at school I didn't see her in class and asked the others what was the matter.

A few of the stallions in our grade laughed and snickered. When I asked what was so funny they told me that they done me a favor and dumped her off the nimbus clouds and she plummeted towards the ground."

I could see the tears flood her magenta eyes and the pain in her words as she agonized with every word and continued on with the story.

" I left Cloudsdale  and searched Equestria end to end looking for her. That's when I found her in Ponyville working as a vet at the local animal shelter. She forgave me and even thanked me for helping her find her true calling in life which was to help animals. I felt so bad about what I did to her I promised to never let anything bad happen to her again thats when we became friends and joined up with the rest I even helped her start flying even though she still has trouble sometimes."

Her story helped me understand Fluttershy a little better and why she seemed so distant and reclusive. My thoughts are stalled when I feel a tap on my hip. Dash looks up at me with a question. "Why do you ask?"

I reply bluntly with " No reason I was just wondering." She must have seen me blushing and hovered at eye level with me. "You like her don't you?" I try to avoid eye contact but my face was seven shades of red.

My silence didnt stop her from interrogating me. "You do like her just nod your head if I'm correct." I was terrified of giving her an answer she might stomp my guts out but she wasn't going to stop. I wanted to tell somepony and get it off my chest.

I choked on my words at first and sputtered. Her voice got louder and boomed out. "Tell me!!" I clear my throat and nodded my head as I said. "Yes I do."

Her face beamed a huge smile and she screamed out echoing through the halls. "I knew it I knew it!!!" I flailed my arms to quiet her down. "Sorry I got carried away." I ask her why she didn't think that us being together was an abomination of nature. "

She still had her grin as she said. "For being an alien your not that bad looking and Fluttershy has never been considered attractive by the other stallions and it doesn't help that she's super quiet. I think it's great that you two are together. Ohh and don't worry I won't tell anypony about it your secret is safe with me."

I was so relieved to push that weight off my shoulders and finally made our way back to our rooms. Dash rolls her eyes and said grudgingly. " I really hate getting all formal just to eat dinner." I laugh and she disappears into her room.

I didn't see the others anywhere and decided to wash up and get ready for tonight. I walk back into my room and head for the washroom. It had a nice old school rustic look with an enormous tub and shower. I was short on time and stripped down in seconds and turned on the shower head.

The warm water felt good on my head and chest as I scrubbed myself down thoroughly. I didn't want to get out but didn't want to hold up the others. I step out onto the tile floor and look around for a towel rack.

There was nothing to dry myself with so I figured they dropped them off by the door. I step out and open the bathroom door. I took one step out and covered myself and almost had a stroke when I saw Twilight standing by my bed. I gasp and slam the door shut with her giving me a confused stare.

I shout from behind the wood door at her. "What are you doing!!!!??" I hear her giggle as she asked me to hurry up they were just about to head to the dining room. I hear her shut the door and I poke my head out. Not wanting to have her barge back in I dry and get dressed in my clothes Rarity had tailored for me in record time.

When I step outside I see the others all dressed up in beautiful gowns matching their natural colors. I look them all over and stop when I spot Fluttershy. Her dress was ornate and sparkled with rare gemstones that matched her eyes. Just when I thought she couldn't get any more prettier she had once again outdid herself and I could literally almost feel my heart explode in my chest.

I get snapped out of my daze when Pinkie Pie shoots out. "Lets eat I'm starving you can almost see my ribcage." I was quite hungry myself and was anxious to have a nice meal rather than that slop I was eating on the train.
