Among The Pegasi
Chapter 5: Truth and Lies
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"What do you mean, 'you left?" Twilight asked looking all too surprised by what Fluttershy had suddenly told her, after all from Rainbow Dash's story it made everything seem like the fall out was caused by certain misunderstandings, and the ponies of Ponyvile maybe being a bit too harsh with their consequences for the troubles caused by said misunderstandings , but now what Fluttershy had said was causing Twilight to maybe have some second thoughts about what really happened back when the two towns separated.
"Well we didn't all leave, the ones that wanted to stay did, but there weren't many of them," Fluttershy explained, confusing the Princess even more, as she tried to understand how this all tied in with Rainbow's story in order for everything to make sense to her.
"Okay...wait I'm really not understanding any of this," Twilight was smart beyond all belief, but this story of what had happened, was already sounding so different from the one that Rainbow Dash had told her yesterday, so much so that she felt completely stumped right now.
"Well years back when Cloudsdale first decided to come here to Ponyvile, in order to have some sort of base for us to always come back to, since Cloudsdale is still a traveling city, there were a lot of things that didn't go too well. For instance many of the pegasi from Cloudsdale would talk down to the ponies from Ponyvile and would discriminate them in front of their faces many times. Some of the pegasi were nice and respected the ponies, myself being one, but it would seem, that the bad did outweigh the good quite a bit unfortunately," Fluttershy put a hoof up to her chin as she went back in her mind to think about how things were between the two towns before they were separated, remembering that many of the pegasi were already making enemies out of the ponies.
"So was it true that some of the pegasi would steal food and cause trouble for the ponies here in Ponyvile?" Twilight asked, now beginning to get the idea that there were two different stories to what had happened between the two towns.
"There were an awful lot of times that many of the pegasi, one of them being Rainbow Dash, were accused of things like that, but there was never any proof of it, it's just that those so called 'misunderstandings' happened way too many times to simply just look past them, plus most of the stories that were apperantly all just lies in the pegasi's eyes did make a lot of sense, and sounded true enough. But things like stealing food and all that wasn't the biggest problem that the ponies were worried about," by now Fluttershy had gotten the idea that Twilight had heard the story of what had happened between the two towns, but either she had gotten it a little mixed up, or the pony that had told her had gotten the story wrong in some ways.
"What do you mean, what other problems were there?" Twilight asked.
"Well simply it was that most of the pegasi weren't all that nice and kind to any of the ponies, no matter what it just seemed like they were never happy or willing to try and get along with the ponies of Ponyvile, even the little fillies and colts would always be known as the bullies of the school, who would do nothing but pick on all the other ponies, and the older pegasi were no better, constandly starting fights and always finding something to argue about, it just seemed like many of the pegasi simply didn't want anything to do with the ponies," Fluttershy sighed deeply as she looked down to her mug of warm tea, moving to rest it back on the coffee table, as she didn't really feel like she wanted the rest of it.
"And that's what separated the two towns?" Twilight asked, now seeing how things had been like from Fluttershy's point of view, which souded very different from what Rainbow Dash had told her, not only that but it seemed like the pegasi were the ones at fault for the falling out, instead if it being the ponies who were the ones being unreasonable according to Dash, and it seemed like the separation hadn't changed much between the two towns, judging by how Rainbow acted around Rarity and Applejack the other day.
Fluttershy answered with a nod, looking like this topic had brought her mood down a little, "The ponies tried countless times to give the pegasi second chances, but nothing ever changed, it just got worse. So eventually the ponies told the pegasi 'if they wanted to stay living above their town, sharing their food and all that, they would have to respect them and stop causing trouble', and while some of the pegasi agreed to this, many of them didn't, saying that they would leave if the ponies didn't let them live the way they wanted to. Everypony in Cloudsdale wanted to stay together, but it didn't look like that was going to happen, so in the end they came to a decision that all the pegasi that thought the ponies were right would move to Ponyvile, never to return to Cloudsdale again, and the ones that were certain of the pegasi not being at fault stayed up in Cloudsdale, and avoided ever coming back into Ponyvile," Fluttershy turned away from the Princess a little as she had now explained what had really happened, making Twilight see how different her story was from Rainbow Dash's (whether it was true or not was another matter).
Twilight had noticed that while Fluttershy had been explaining all of this to her, she had been looking awfully down on herself, and from seeing that she guessed that it wasn't only Rainbow Dash who didn't like talking about this particular topic, plus it definitely seemed like Fluttershy wanted things to change between the two towns, just like Rainbow Dash did.
"Was one of those pegasi that threatened to leave, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked nervously, already guessing what Fluttershy's answer would be.
Fluttershy just nodded in reply, as she sighed again and looked to her front door, starting to wonder when the colourful pegasus would be coming back from her calming fly.
Twilight wasn't sure how to react to all of this, Fluttershy's story sounded more detailed and made more sense than Rainbow's did, but she still wanted to believe what Dash told her was true, how was she supposed to know which story was the right one, after all she hadn't been here for the falling out and basically had next to no idea what had happened between the two towns.
"But wait...so why did you decide to move to Ponyvile, did you believe that the pegasi were the ones at fault?" Twilight asked, wondering why Fluttershy would go back on her own town like that, she really didn't seem like the kind of pony who would do something like that.
"Because I saw how a lot of the pegasi treated the ponies here in Ponyvile, and I knew many of them were capable of the things they were accused of, and although Rainbow Dash was my friend back then as well, she never really did listen to me when I tried to talk to her about changing her ways and trying to be nice to the ponies that let us share their home. Plus I decided to move here because I felt like I didn't fit in very well up in Cloudsdale anyway, I've never been all that great at flying, and the only friend I ever made up there was Rainbow Dash. But now after moving here, I have more friends and have much more confidence to do the things I want to, all I used to do in Cloudsdale was hide away from all the other pegasi that would pick on me, hoping to blend into the background, and wait for Rainbow Dash to come to my rescue whenever hiding failed to work," Fluttershy seemed a little cheered up now as she talked about her life in Ponyvile, and how it had proven to have turned out so much better than her life up in Cloudsdale had,
"I guess deciding to move here was a good choice, after all I never did feel like I belonged up there with all the other pegasi," the yellow pegasus smiled slightly as she looked back to Twilight now, wondering if all this talk about the past had caused the Princess to feel a little depressed, like it had her,
"None the less I'm glad to see that Rainbow is having a change of heart now, you must have really talked some magic in order for her to agree to something like getting our two towns to try and make peace," Fluttershy stated happily.
"Yeah...I guess," Twilight smiled nervously after a short pause, questioning in her head if Rainbow Dash had really changed from the pony she used to be, it seemed like that, but how well did she really know the pegasus in order to know that she was willing to let go of what had happened and change her ways for the better? And who was to say that she wouldn't go back on her word?
"And while we're on the subject, who exactly did you hear that story of what happened from?" Fluttershy asked as she wondered who had told the Princess that mixed up story of what had happened between the two towns.
"Oh it was...ummm..." Twilight paused as she looked nervously to the yellow pegasus as she instandly felt like she should just stay quiet for now, 'I can't tell her it was Rainbow Dash who told me that story, I just got the two to start talking again,' the Princess sighed as she turned away from Fluttershy, and wished for something to happen in order for the subject to be changed so that she wouldn't have to answer her.
Luckily it seemed like fate was on her side at that moment, as a certain colourful pegasus came flying through the front door of Fluttershy's small house, almost causing it to come off of its hinges, as Rainbow came skidding to a halt while she stood in the lounge and flicked her long mane back, clearly feeling much better after that fly.
"Hey did I miss anything?" Dash asked as she looked to the other two ponies and smiled to them both.
"Not at all," Fluttershy smiled as she looked back to Dash, while she wondered if the reckless pegasus was okay after flying through her wooden door while it had been closed.
Meanwhile Twilight still seemed to be worrying over how she was going to answer Fluttershy, not yet noticing that Rainbow Dash had come back. Rainbow soon noticed the Princess being awfully quiet which wasn't like her, as she looked a little confused, before she called to Twilight.
"Hey Princess, you alright?"
Twilight's eyes widened a little as she heard the familiar raspy voice of a certain brightly coloured pegasus, as she looked to the voice, and sighed slightly with a smile when she saw Dash standing in front of her and Fluttershy now.
"Yeah I'm fine, you feeling better now Dash?" Twilight asked as she shook her head and pushed all her thoughts and worries to the back of her mind while she greeted the pegasus kindly.
"Yeah, nothing like a refreshing fly to get you back to yourself right?" Rainbow smiled confidently.
Twilight and Fluttershy just nodded in reply as they both smiled to the rainbow pegasus, both of them glad to see Dash back to acting like her regular self again.
"By the way Princess,"
"What is it Dash?"
Rainbow took a deep breath as she smiled to Twilight, feeling butterflies fluttering around in the pit of her stomach, "Thanks for this, I could have never done it without you here to help me,"
Twilight's eyes widened again as she could feel her heart beating a little faster and heat raising into her cheeks, while she looked to that greatful smile Dash had on her lips right now. She nervously swallowed as she smiled back to Rainbow and nooded to her,
"Oh no, there's nothing for you to thank me for Dash," Twilight looked down to her hooves a second later, bashfully smiling while her long mane hid her face away from the rainbow coloured pegasus.
Fluttershy smiled to the Princess and Dash as she thanked Twilight as well, after all if the Princess hadn't talked Rainbow into doing this, she would have never been able to make amends with her old friend, who she had been missing terribly since the big separation happened.
... ...
Morning soon turned into early afternoon as the sun was slowly starting to lower in the sky, while Princess Twilight and Rainbow Dash were flying back to the pegasus's cloud home, Rainbow was glad to be going back home after the eventful morning she had just had.
Rainbow smiled brightly as she twirled round in one or two circles, before she dived straight down and looked back to make sure that the Princess was still following her and hadn't fallen behind. Rainbow tilted her head a little as she noticed that even though Twilight looked fine, she was flying a lot slower than she was this morning while they were on their way to Fluttershy's house, it could just be that she was tired or hungry, or maybe the heat was just getting to her.
"Hey you know I really can't thank you enough for what you did toady Princess," Rainbow stated as she flew closer to Twilight and waved a hoof in front of her, smiling to her slightly as she was able to catch the other mare's attention.
"Oh sure, no problem Dash," Twilight replied half heartedly as she glanced to the pegasus before she looked away again, and sighed deeply.
"Are you alright? You've been quiet since we came back from Fluttershy's," Rainbow still wasn't sure that Twilight was herself as she seemed quite distant, while she talked to her, not to mention that the Princess was avoiding looking at her right now.
"Yeah I'm fine Dash," Twilight smiled as she shook her head and looked back to Rainbow, pushing all her thoughts to the back of her mind.
"You sure?"
Twilight just nodded in reply as she smiled and watched as the bright rays of the sun caught Rainbow's colourful mane, as it seemed to shimmer in the sunlight. Her eyes widened a little as the slight cool breeze flowed through her mane, while Rainbow smiled back to her, and caused her heart to beat a little faster, noticing how the pegasus's magenta eyes would slightly sparkle in the sunshine.
"Hey Dash, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what's up?" Rainbow asked as she now flew beside the Princess, and made sure to keep a fairly slow pace, in order for her and Twilight to be able to talk to each other while they flew together.
Twilight nervously looked to Dash, as she wasn't sure how she would respond to the question she was about to ask her, hesitating for a moment as she bit her bottom lip and took a deep breath, "You know that story of how the two towns fell out you told me about yesterday?"
"Yeah?"
"A-are you sure that it was the real story?" Twilight spoke in a low tone as she was a little scared that Dash may get angry.
"Of course I am, why did somepony tell you it differently?" Dash asked, wondering where this kinda question was suddenly coming from, thinking that maybe Applejack or Rarity had told her a different story.
"No, no, it's nothing like that... I was just making sure that you didn't tell it wrong or get it mixed up in any way," Twilight lied as she smiled nervously to Dash.
"Don't you believe me Twilight?" Rainbow asked looking a little disappointed now, while her voice had an odd tone to it.
Twilight looked a little taken aback at Rainbow calling her by her name, knowing that she hardly ever did that and most of time just called her, 'Princess'. Twilight sighed as she looked to that disappointed expression on the pegasus's face, guessing if she said anything else on the subject it would form into a look of annoyance no doubt, ruining the comfortable atmosphere that the two were sharing at the moment.
"I believe you Dash," Twilight smiled as she sighed, while Rainbow's disappointed expression formed back into a smile as the pegasus nodded to the Princess.
Twilight felt like she should have maybe tried a little harder in order to talk to Rainbow about the difference between the story that Dash had told her yesterday, and the story that Fluttershy had told her today. But considering the fact that the pegasus had looked so disappointed when she thought she didn't believe her, there was probably the very high chance of the two getting into an argument, which Twilight really didn't want, feeling like she had gotten to know Dash quite well over such a short time, and not wanting to end up fighting with her so soon.
She wanted to believe Dash was right, but what if she wasn't? What if the story that Fluttershy had told her was true, and Rainbow had just been lying to her yesterday. Although if that were the case than what would Rainbow gain from making her believe her story instead of Fluttershy's? Maybe the fact that it might mean that the Princess was now on Cloudsdale's side and not Ponyvile's? Twilight wasn't sure, and all the worries on her mind right now weren't making it any easier for her, while she sighed deeply and felt a little dizzy.
Twilight raised a hoof up to her forehead as she shook her head, and tried to focus on a single thought, her head aching a little, while she wasn't even flying anymore, feeling even more dizzy as she just hovered slowly and could feel her eyelids beginning to feel heavy.
Rainbow looked back to the Princess as she noticed that she had gone quiet again, not only that but could now see that she had stopped flying to just hover instead, as she tilted her head to the side a little, while she slowly flew closer to Twilight, wondering if she was alright.
"Hey you alright Princess?"
Twilight didn't answer as she could feel the ache in her head getting worse, guessing that she was probably tired from not getting enough sleep last night, or maybe she was hungry since she hadn't eaten anything since breakfast early this morning, or maybe her mind was too overwhelmed with all the confusing worries and thoughts that were running through it right now.
"Princess?" Rainbow called to Twilight, trying to get her attention, looking a little concerned for her now. Rainbow called to the Princess once or twice more, before she noticed something about Twilight's wings, they were beginning to slow down, looking like they would stop flapping at any moment, which would cause the Princess to fall right out of the sky, if she didn't get her balance back fast enough.
'My head...really hurts...Dash' Twilight's vision went blurry as her eyes closed and she suddenly felt faint, her wings slowing down to a stop, as her head dropped and she let herself fall.
"Whoa, PRINCESS!" Rainbow called out to Twilight as she quickly dived down and flew to the falling Princess, catching her before she came close to the ground below, as Twilight landed on Rainbow's back and panted slightly, blinking a couple of times as she tried to keep her eyes open.
Rainbow looked back to Twilight, feeling worried as she watched the Princess's eyes close again, as she seemed out of breath suddenly. Dash quickly flew to a nearby cloud, carrying Twilight on her back as she wondered what had suddenly caused the Princess to pass out like that. Rainbow carefully let Twilight slide off her back, rolling on to the fluffy cloud, while the soft pillow cushioned the Princess.
"D-Dash..." Twilight coughed as she slowly opened her eyes and lifted her head up, feeling a little dizzy still, but the intense ache in her head had gone now, as she sighed and looked up to Rainbow Dash's worried expression, her vision still a little blurry.
"Are you okay?" Dash asked as she crouched down to Twilight's eye level and slightly nudged her, hoping that the Princess was just tired or something and not sick.
"Huh? Yeah, I think so," Twilight shook her head as she was now able to focus her vision a little, blinking slowly as she could feel slight pain in her stomach, sighing a little when she heard it growl loudly a second later.
"Looks like you're just hungry," Dash smiled as she chuckled slightly, while she sighed in relief that the Princess just needed to eat something in order for her to feel fine again.
"Yeah I guess. I didn't really have a big breakfast this morning after all," Twilight smiled back to Rainbow as she could slowly feel her mind clearing of all worries while she was now finding it a little easier to focus on just one thought. The slight dizzy feeling still lingered as she slowly tried to stand up, before she just fell back down to lie on her stomach again.
"Hey don't push yourself," Rainbow sounded concerned as she nudged Twilight again and nuzzled her slightly, causing Twilight to smile as she nuzzled the pegasus back and felt completely relaxed and safe while she was with Dash like this.
"You okay?" Dash whispered as she pulled away from the Princess slightly, while she looked to her a little worried that she wouldn't be able to get back up, fearing that she just might have to carry Twilight back to her home on her back.
Twilight just nodded to Dash with a smile, bracing herself to try and stand up again, before she felt something as she looked back up to Rainbow Dash. Her eyes widening as the sun's bright beams caught Rainbow's fur coat and mane again, causing them to shimmer in the bright light, her magenta eyes sparkling again as Twilight was slowly staring to get lost in them. Twilight's heart raced in her chest as she could feel a spark, while a small fire began to ignite deep inside her,
"Dash..." she whispered, feeling paralysed at she looked to the breathtaking pegasus who stood in front of her.
Rainbow moved closer to the Princess so she could hear her better, leaning in ever so slightly, while Twilight trembled a little at the feel of the pegasus's warm breath on her lips.
Twilight wasn't thinking at the moment, her mind was in a comletely different place as she leaned into the pegasus, their muzzles just inches apart, while their lips brushed against each other. Twilight's eyes slowly closed as she heard Rainbow give out a small gasp, before she closed the small gap between them and pressed her lips to Dash's.
Rainbow's eyes went wide in suprise as she felt Twilight's soft lips press aganist her own, while she was awfully taken aback by the sudden kiss. The pegasus felt like pulling away as she really wasn't expecting Twilight to suddenly do something like this, but allowed the kiss to last a few moments more, before their lips parted and Twilight opened her eyes again, coming back to her senses as she realized what she had just done.
"T-Twilight?" Rainbow questioned as she could feel her heart pounding in her chest, while she looked to Twilight, expecting an explanation of some kind.
Unfortunately it didn't seem like she was going to get one as Twilight quickly jumped up and instandly took off into the sky, her dizzyness completely gone now as a hundred other emotions overwhelmed her, quickly stopping as she looked back to Dash again
"Well I better be heading back home now," the Princess stated as she couldn't bear to look the pegasus in the eyes, turning away from her nervously while she felt a deep blush cover her cheeks.
"Wait!" Rainbow quickly shook her head, coming out of her surprised state, as she lifted herself up into the sky, in order to fly after the Princess if she started to try and make a quick getaway, "Don't you want me to come with you, what if you pass out again?"
"I'm fine now thanks," Twilight replied before she quickly turned and left Dash behind, heading for her home in Ponyvile, feeling embarrassed and ashamed of herself.
"WAIT TWILIGHT!" Rainbow called after the fleeing Princess, attempting to go after her, before she decided against it, feeling like she should let Twilight have some time to herself, while she sighed deeply and just watched the Princess disappear out of sight, clenching her teeth together as she cursed under her breath, and turned to just head home herself, so that she could try and figure out what exactly had just happened between her and the Princess just now.
'Why in all of Equestria did I do that?' Twilight questioned as she flew faster than she ever had before, feeling her heart still racing in her chest, while that kiss had caused all kinds of emotions to run through her body, while her face felt flushed, and she immediately felt like hiding somewhere instead of going back to the Library.
'Stupid, stupid, stupid, I'm such an idiot,' Twilight cursed herself under her breath as she couldn't stop seeing that shocked look that Rainbow had had on her face after she had kissed her, feeling guilt overcome her as she sighed, before she picked up more speed and raced to her home, 'Why couldn't I control what I was doing? I should have caught myself before I even tried to do something like that, I just got so lost in those breathtaking eyes of her's, and the way the sun was shinning down on her fur, causing for her cyan fur and rainbow mane to shimmer brightly...no I shouldn't be thinking about her like that. Oh why, why did I kiss her? I haven't known her for that long, and I just left her without any kind of explanation or apology for what I did to her. What's wrong with me?'
... ...
A long silence fell on Golden Oak Library as Sipke and Twilight now sat together at the small table they had in the middle of the library (which they used as a dining table for now). They had been eating a late lunch together for a while now, but Twilight hadn't really eaten anything, yes she was starving since she hadn't eaten anything since this morning, but her appetite was completely gone right now, as she just used her hoof to push her food around her plate, while she sighed deeply and rested her head on the table, feeling absolutely defeated by everything that had happened today, and the day wasn't even over yet.
Spike looked over to the Princess as he could clearly see that something was on her mind right now, wondering if maybe toady hadn't gone to plan, maybe Rainbow Dash and her old friend weren't able to make up after all, and now she's probably feeling down, thinking that she may never get the two towns to put the past behind them and try to get along.
"What's wrong Twilight? You haven't said much since you got home eariler," Spike asked, wanting to know what was causing Twilight to act so unlike herself, as he had never really seen this depressed side to the Princess before.
"It's nothing Spike, I'm just tired I guess," Twilight stated with a sigh as she slightly glanced to the young dragon, and wished that he hadn't broken the silence they were in a minute ago.
"Oh okay, how did toady go? Was Rainbow able to make up with her old friend?" Spike asked knowing that that was what Twilight had planned for today, and guessing that it hadn't worked out the way she would have like it to, judging by how the Princess was acting right now.
"It went really well actually, Rainbow and Fluutershy were able to make amends," Twilight sat up straight now as she lifted her head up off of the table and tried to seem less depressed in order to not worry Spike.
"Wait Rainbow Dash's old friend is Fluttershy, you mean that shy pegasus that we met the fisrt day we came here?" Spike looked a little puzzled as he seemed to be a little confused over how those two polar opposites could have been good friends at one time.
"It seems like Fluttershy had decided to move Ponyvile when the two towns fell out, she said that she never really felt like she belonged up in Cloudsdale, and she had a hard time making friends, apparently Dash was the only one she ever made while she lived up there. And although I know it's hard to think that those two could be friends, I saw how close they must have been, things did start off a little rocky, but Dash was soon able to apologize after a little encouragement from me, and they shared a long awaited embrace, I was really surprised to see that sensitive side to Dash, she practically broke down in front of me and Fluttershy, and even I got a little choked up over the heartwarming moment that they shared," Twilight explained, smiling for a moment as she remembered how well her plan had actually worked out today.
"Well it's good that they made up then right?" Spike smiled as he was just glad that everything had turned out well in the end.
"Yeah I guess," Twilight sighed as she thought about all that had gone on today, still not sure who's story she should believe, or how she should feel about what had happened while she was taking Rainbow Dash home eariler.
"So if it all went well, what's gotten you looking so down in the dumps?" Spiked asked noticing that the Princess was stil obviously bothered by something.
"Well Fluttershy told me something while Rainbow went for a little fly by herself," Twilight confessed after a short pause and she remembered the confusion she felt after hearing Fluttershy's story, and seeing how different it was from Rainbow's, "She told me what the big fall out between the two towns was all about,"
"Okay, so now you know about what happened and there's no more mystery right?" Spike asked, not understanding how this was something for Twilight to worry about.
"Yeah except the way she told it made it sound like the pegasi were the ones to blame for what happened, but Rainbow Dash told me yesterday her version of what had happened, which was very different from the story that Fluttershy had told me today, since Dash made it sound like it was the ponies that were the ones who were being a bit too harsh to the pegasi, what with running them out of the town and everything. And even though I've had a while to think about it all, I'm still not sure who to believe," Twilight explained, feeling down again as she thought about how different the two stories really were.
"Did you talk to Rainbow about this?"
"Yes, but when I asked if she maybe got the story wrong or mixed up, she looked disappointed in me, thinking that I didn't believe what she had told me, I didn't want to get into a fight with her since we don't know each other very well, and arguing already wouldn't be good for the friendship we're slowly building right now, so I just left it and changed the subject," Twilight rested her head back onto the table as she finished all that she needed to say, in order for Spike to understand what had gone toady, which had caused her to seem so distracted since she came back home.
"I mean if it was a pony from Ponyvile who told me it the way Fluttershy had, I would have understood that the pony was just staying on the side of their town, and Rainbow was doing the same for her town, but Fluttershy used to live in Cloudsdale, so it's a little hard to think that she would rat her own town out like that, then again I don't know Rainbow all that well yet, so she could have lied to me when she told me what had happened, I'm not even sure if it matters anymore, after all knowing the truth of the past won't exactly help me in getting the two towns to try getting along again" Twilight added as she felt a little sad when she thought that Rainbow might just have lied to her, seeing the pegasus's disappointed look in her mind, and hid her face in shame when she remembered the shocked look Dash had when she had suddenly surprised her with that light kiss eariler.
"Sounds rough, maybe you should ask Applejack, or another pony from Ponyvile about it later," Spike suggested, hoping that he could ease some of the stress that the Princess was clearly feeling right now.
"Yeah maybe," Twilight replied, before she lifted her head up off of the table and nervously turned away from Spike now, wondering if she should tell him about what else had happened eariler toady, which had caused her to feel so down since she got home.
"Is that all that's bothering you?" Spike asked as he noitced the nervous look that Twilight now had, guessing that she had left something out, or that there was something else on her mind right now, which was causing her distress still.
"Well there is one other thing that's kinda on my mind at the moment," Twilight started nervously, feeling like it was better telling Spike now, then letting him find it out later by himself.
"I'm all ears," Spike smiled to the Princess, letting her know that he was willing to listen to whatever she was about to tell him.
Twilight smiled back to her assistant, thanking him for his kindness, before she took a deep breath, and built up all her courage in order to tell Spike what had happened between her and Rainbow eariler in the afternoon today, "Well I was flying Rainbow Dash home after we had spent pretty much the whole morning at Fluttershy's..."
"Yeah," Spike nodded to show that he was following the story so far.
"And well...I kinda...sort of...ended up kissing her," Twilight nervously confessed as she turned away from Spike, a little afraid of what his response might be.
"Y-YOU WHAT?!" Spike exclaimed in a surprised tone.
