Rainbow Dash felt terrible. Just awful. Scootaloo had wrote a whole song about how she had been ignored by her. Rainbow Dash shoved her feelings to the side and stared at the stage.

“This next song is off their first album, most of you have never heard it,” she heard Nirvana say, and they started playing an upbeat tune.

“Well, maybe this one won’t be as bad,” Rainbow Dash said to herself, feeling a bit better. This hope was immediately crushed when Nirvana began singing.

“I need to fly free,

I need a mare to teach me,” Nirvana look directly at Rainbow Dash when he sang the next part.

“I do think you fit this horseshoe,

But you haven’t got a clue.”

Rainbow Dash’s mouth fell open. Yet another song written about her neglecting Scootaloo! She couldn’t believe how terrible she had been.

“I’ll plead and I’ll cry

I won’t stop to try

But you ignore me all the time

Free...”

Rainbow Dash could almost feel a tear forming, but she smacked herself. Crying made her weak. She always held back tears as long as she could, and sometimes, most of the time, they went away.

“I’m standing in your way...”

Oh Scootaloo. If I had know, I would have never thought of it like that...

“You say there will be hell to pay...”

That was once!

“But I won’t give up, no way,

I won’t give up, not today!”

You hadn’t given up, not on that day, anyway...

“I’ll plead and I’ll cry

I won’t stop to try

But you ignore me all the time

Free...”

Rainbow Dash could feel the offending droplet of liquid squeeze itself from her tear duct. It began its slow journey, sliding down her cheek, and falling off of her, to land with a small, almost soundless splash on the ground below.

“I need to fly free,

I need a mare to teach me,

I do think you fit this horseshoe,

But you haven’t got a clue!”

She hadn’t had a clue...

“I’ll plead and I’ll cry

I won’t stop to try

But you ignore me all the time

But you ignore me all the time...”

I wish I hadn’t... Another tear joined its brother on the ground.

“You do...

You do...

You do...

You do...

You do...”

“I wish I hadn’t!” Rainbow screamed out, electing a few odd glances from the ponies around her who had heard the confession.

The band put down their instruments. “Alright, we’re going to take a short intermission, but we’ll be right back! And also, Rainbow Dash, if you don’t mind, could you come backstage with us?” Next Chapter: Intermission Estimated time remaining: 1 Minutes
