Twilight had started repairing Dashs stuff with her magic. Being an alicorn sure had its advantages. She was worried about Dash, but she simply couldn't leave her home in such a mess.
Blame her OCD.

Twilight only knew little about eating disorders. Since they were mostly overlooked in Equestria, she couldn't get much information in books. But what she knew, was that eating disorders can not be cured. They can only be made easier to live with. But they would always haunt you and you're always at risk of relapsing.

She wondered how she didn't notice it before. But she figured that Dash must have had some tricks of her own. Twilight also remembered Dash saying that you can get rid of food easily. And that it wasn't necessary.

"Twi?" Dashs voice broke her from her thoughts.

"Yes, Rainbow?"

"I want to show you something.."

Dash opened a closet and grabbed something from inside it. Twilight went over to her.

"When I was in flight school, they would always take photos of us..."

She handed over a photo. Twilight turned it around and gasped at what she saw.

"I was always bullied.. and they made fun of me for looking like I did. I always took it wrong, thought they meant I was overweight.. So I didn't want to be taken photos of..."

Twilight was lost for words. She couldn't believe what she's looking at. Who she's looking at. She wanted to cry.

Dash just looked away. She felt shamed of herself.

"But you don't look.. this bad anymore.. what changed?"

"A lot changed after I educated. Being away from those bullies helped a lot. Also my grandma lived in her own home and passed away a bit after I finished school. I always wanted to be like my mum. She was athletic and also liked the Wonderbolts. When my dad took me to one of their shows, I knew what I wanted to be when I was old enough. So I was kinda more interested in becoming the best at flying. And since you need the energy to fly, I had to eat. Only healthy stuff though."

Twilight nodded and looked at the picture again.

Her dream had helped her once. Maybe it could help a second time?
