Previous Chapter Next ChapterRAINBOW DASH'S STORY
THE WAYWARD PEGASUS
Rainbow Dash may have had her mind set on being a war Pegasus, but she had one thing to do before she started looking. Fluttershy was out there somewhere and she knew this. Something inside her told her that the yellow Pegasus was alive and she was going to find her and convince her to enlist along with her. The only problem she had now was where to begin looking. She knew that Clover Bloom had said she went to a nearby town to get supplies so she went to the first time she knew of that was close to Leafside village, Rosetown.
“Excuse me. But have you seen a yellow Pegasus in town recently? She has a butterfly cutie mark and came into town recently for supplies.” Rainbow Dash said in a polite tone to a shop keeper in Rosetown.
“Pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark you say? Hmm.” The shop keeper pony replied as he tapped a hoof on his chin looking deep in thought. “Afraid not young mare. You might try the shop down the street. They often traded with Leafside village.” The shop keeper pony replied after a few moments much to the cyan blue Pegasus disappointment.
“Thank you.” Rainbow Dash replied, left the store, and went down the street now until she came to a store at the end of the street with a wooden sign in front of it which read “Pie and design shoppe” and entered it.
“What can I get ya?” A white pony with a Pink, Yellow and Green mane said in a cheery tone.
“I'm looking for a friend. She's a yellow Pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark.” Rainbow Dash asked in a polite tone at which point the earth pony frowned.
“Yes, I saw just yesterday. Poor dear, she came back here a few hours after she left in tears, but she wouldn't tell me what happened and only that she couldn't go back.” The earth pony replied followed by a sigh.
“Her-I mean, our hometown was destroyed by one of Nightmare Moon's armies. We're the only two remaining survivors.” Rainbow Dash replied in a low tone as she lowered her head down with a saddened expression at which point the earth pony's face turned horrified as she placed a hoof over her mouth.
“Dear Celestia! I had no idea! You poor dear! Is there anything I can do for you? I'll let you have anything in my store for free, no charge! Take anything you need.” The earth pony said as she walked from behind the counter, up to the cyan blue Pegasus and gave her a loving hug as she spoke.
“Thank you for your generosity miss, but I just want to know if she's here or if she left, where she went.” Rainbow Dash replied as she gently backed away from the earth pony and looked at her as she spoke now.
“I'm afraid she's not in town anymore. She left a few short hours after she came back. As to where she went, I don't know. She didn't tell me, but I can tell you that she flew off in a north eastern direction. There's a town in that direction about fifty miles from here. I'm afraid that's all I know.” The earth pony replied.
“Thank you for your time miss...” Rainbow Dash replied trailing off as she hadn't yet asked for her name.
“My name is Coconut Cream dear and I insist you take some food and supplies with you!” Coconut Cream exclaimed with a warm smile, rushed over to her shelves and began to pack food and supplies into a saddle pack she grabbed as she walked over.
With a dual saddle pack now stuffed with food and supplies now resting over her back Rainbow Dash gave a sigh along with a smile at the earth pony. “Thank you very much.” Rainbow Dash replied, left the store, and took off from the ground.
Come back anytime dear!
------------------------------------------
With only this small lead to go on Rainbow Dash now was flying in the north eastern direction towards what Coconut Cream said was a small trader town. She had no idea if she was even there or if the yellow Pegasus had even went in that direction, but it was the only lead she had. She could only hope it wasn't a dead end.
I'm sorry miss. I haven't seen anypony who looks like that.
Butterfly cutie mark you say? Nope, sorry!
A Pegasus? Here? As if!
These kind of responses and more where the kinds the cyan blue Pegasus got when she asked about Fluttershy and her whereabouts. “Guess she didn't come here after all.” Rainbow Dash remarked with a sigh and kicked a pebble a crossed the ground as she walked down the street.
“No point in sticking around here if she didn't come here, but now I gotta figure out where she went.” Rainbow Dash remarked aloud and prepared to take off.
Where who went?
A small voiced asked which caused the cyan blue Pegasus who halt her takeoff and look over to see a small white filly unicorn with a light bloom mane whom looked to be no older than seven years old.
“Guess it couldn't hurt...” Rainbow Dash thought to herself and sighed out loud before turning to the small white filly. “She's a friend of mine that I’m looking for. She's a yellow Pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark. Have you seen her?” Rainbow Dash asked in a polite tone. Course she didn't expect the filly to know her.
“Oh, yeah! I saw somepony like that! My mommy and daddy let her stay with us for a night.” The filly replied with a smile at which point Rainbow Dash's eyes lit up. She couldn't believe her luck.
“Is she still here?” Rainbow Dash asked in an excited tone.
“Oh, no. She left first thing in the morning.” The filly replied with a frown at which point all the excitement that filled the cyan blue Pegasus up till this point seemed to drain out of her and be replaced with disappointment.
“Do you happen to know where she went?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously hoping that she at least knew that.
“No, but my mommy and daddy might. Come on, I’ll show you where I live!” The white filly replied and began to walk down the street followed closely by the cyan blue Pegasus.
-----------------------------------------------
The cyan blue Pegasus's jaw dropped at the huge mansion that now stood before her. She expected the filly to live at a small home in town, not some hyped up mansion. In fact, this very thought made her skeptical.
“Are you sure you live here kid?” Rainbow Dash asked in a skeptic tone.
“Uh-huh! Kind of hard to forget where my little home is!” The filly replied with a smile and pushed a button next to the gate.
“Little? This is little?” Rainbow Dash asked in shocked tone with overwhelmed expression on her face.
“Hey. Let me in! I brought a mare with me and she needs to talk to mommy and daddy!” The filly exclaimed into the speaker once a prim and proper voice had responded.
Once inside the gate the white filly lead Rainbow Dash to her front door and opened it to which she followed her in. if she was taken back by the outside the inside left her brain half broken. As she took in her surroundings she saw a black and white checker board style tile flooring that seemed to stretch a crossed the vast area which the cyan blue Pegasus could only think to be the foyer of this huge home. In front of her she could see two large stairwells which were layered in velvet red carpet with a gold colored rail that seemed to go at an angle in opposite directions of each other as they trailed up to the second floor. To her right she could see several large doors which clearly had been carved out in oak wood. To her left she saw many more doors that looked exactly the same as the ones on the right but they were a few less on this side than on the right.
“Stay right here miss Pegasus, I’ll go get my mommy and daddy!” The filly exclaimed then ran off to the left and through one of the doors.
“May I take your umm...bags madam?” A male pony wearing a black tux asked in a prim and proper tone.
“What? Huh? Oh, no thanks, I won't be staying long.” Rainbow Dash replied in a distracted tone still overwhelmed by the vast and large home to which the male pony gave a short bow and walked away to the right and through one of the doors.
It didn't take long for one of the doors to the right to swing open, revealing the white filly Rainbow Dash recognized along with a mare and stallion she did not. “Why Hello there miss...?” The stallion asked as she trailed off in a fashion as if he was expecting a name.
“Dash, Rainbow Dash.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied politely.
“Miss Dash. What a lively name. Well, ahem, down to business as they say. Our daughter Diamond mentioned that you were looking for somepony who stayed here recently?” The stallion replied with a smile.
“Yes, she's a yellow Pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark. Your daughter said she stayed here for the night.” Rainbow Dash replied making sure to keep her tone polite and mannered.
“Oh yes, poor darling collapsed mid-flight over our home and fell to the ground just outside out pavilion. Quite a shocking sight I must say. Needless to say, we took her into our home and fed her when she came too. She seemed to have not eaten for days. Sadly despite our pleas to have her stay a few more nights she insisted that she not be a bother to us and left the next morning.” The stallion replied with a frown.
“Did she say where she was going?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously hoping that her friend had left her something to go on in order to find her.
“Hmm...she did mention that she was looking for a place to find work. Sadly even though we offered to let her work as a maid here in exchange for room and board she turned down our offer. Reluctantly we pointed her towards Fillydephia. You see darling, it's a large town that is always in need of a hoof. A very long ways from here though.” The stallion replied with a smile.
“Thank you for your help.” Rainbow Dash replied with a smile then looked at Diamond. “Thanks kid, you're a lifesaver.” Rainbow Dash said as she ruffled up Diamond's mane playfully.
“Watch the mane! My big sister Rarity did my mane just before she left and I want it to look perfect until she gets back!” Diamond exclaimed in a annoyed tone, but smiled just the same at the cyan blue Pegasus.
“Heh, sorry about that.” Rainbow Dash replied with a giggle, left the mansion and took off for the skies hoping that Fluttershy was still in Fillydephia.
Getting to Fillydephia took far longer than Rainbow Dash had thought it would not to mention the amount of pit stops she had to make along the way for directions, food, and general supplies. In fact, a few times she had found out she had been going in the wrong direction for weeks at a time. Weeks turned into months and months turned into years and finally nearly three years later she had found it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Rainbow Dash landed in the middle of town during the night and gasped at what she saw. This town was packed with ponies of different colors, looks, and clothing. It made her wonder just how she was going to find a yellow Pegasus in a town jam packed with unicorns, Pegasus, and earth ponies. Still, she held firm to resolve. It had taken her nearly three years to find this town and she wasn't going to leave without Fluttershy. She could only hope she was still here.
“Excuse me, have you seen a yellow Pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark?” Rainbow Dash asked in a polite tone to a bulky pony who stood outside of a club.
“What's her name?” The male stallion asked in a gruffly tone.
“Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash replied at which point the stallion lifted a paper up and looked over it.
“Fluttershy,Fluttershy, Fluttershy, nope she's not on this list.” The stallion replied a few moments later and set the paper down.
“Oh, well I’ll just take look inside then.” Rainbow Dash said in a polite tone only to have a hoof jet in front of her face.
“Name?” The stallion asked.
“Rainbow Dash.” The cyan blue Pegasus replied not sure of why the stallion was asking for here name as he began to scan his paper again.
“Your not on the list. So you can't go in.” The stallion replied.
“Since when is there some kind of list to go into a club?” Rainbow Dash asked in an annoyed tone and began to walk in anyways only to get shoved back.
“Listen mare, if ya aren't on the list, ya ain't getting in. Now get the buck outta here before I make ya.” The stallion said with a glare as he snapped his neck back and forth at which point small popping sounds could be heard as he did so.
Not wanting to pick a fight with a stallion who could most likely rip her wings off her back, Rainbow Dash reluctantly turned around and left. “This is just great. The one place in town I could gets some real answers and I can't get in. I'll never find Fluttershy at this rate!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed aloud in a aggravated tone.
“You lookin to get in the club?” A voice asked in hushed tone not far from the cyan blue Pegasus to which she looked over at a stallion whom wore a small trench coat.
“Yeah, why?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously.
“I can get ya in, but it'll cost ya.” The stallion replied with grin.
“How much? I got about forty bits on me.” Rainbow Dash replied as she walked over to the stallion.
“Heh, I ain't talkin about money here missy.” The stallion replied still grinning at her.
“If you don't want bits then what do you want?” Rainbow Dash asked in a confused tone. She did however have a faint idea of what the stallion was hinting at though and she didn't like it.
“My price is what you got under that hot little tail of yours.” The stallion replied still grinning at her.
“No deal, I’m not going to sell my body, not even to get into a bucking club.” Rainbow Dash replied in a annoyed tone and turned around only for the stallion to jump on her, hunch over and pin her to the ground.
“Sorry missy, I don't take no for an answer!” The stallion exclaimed as he began to attempt to mount the cyan blue Pegasus much to her horror.
“You picked the wrong mare to rape bucko!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a pissed off tone as she quickly bucked up which knocked the stallion off her with a stumble and quickly stood on her hind hooves to defend herself.
“You little whore! I'll teach you!” The stallion exclaimed pulling a knife from his tench coat and lunged at her.
Rainbow Dash however was fully ready for this. With her best friend's teachings now fresh in her mind, she took a deep breath, changed her stance slightly, gave the stallion a swift uppercut to the jaw as he came at her which knocked the knife from his mouth and to the ground, moved in quickly, thrust two hoofs at the stallion, striking him once in the face and once in the front right leg, changed her stance once again to being on all four hooves, knelled down with her front hooves, and twirled her body around with a single hind hoof outstretched which swept the stallion off his hooves and onto his back, moved in on him and hovered over him, and thrust a single hoof at his face, stopping just short of his nose with a mighty cry.
“Now tell me how to get in or your perverted little face will be the least of your worries!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed fiercely to the now quivering stallion.
“Okay, okay! I'll tell you anything!” The stallion exclaimed in a panicked tone.
“Start talking then.” Rainbow Dash said in a low tone.
“Okay, Okay! There's a way in through the sewer system! It leads directly to the service room where the waiters go to get drinks for the guests! It's right over there!” The quivering stallion exclaimed as he pointed a shaking hoof over to the the far left of the club.
“Thanks.” Rainbow Dash replied with a smile and swiftly struck the stallion a crossed the face which knocked him unconscious.
With her new found knowledge of how to get in she quickly made way into the sewer tunnel, through it, and to the service room in the club just as the stallion had said. “I'm in, sweet!” Rainbow Dash remarked to herself with a grin as she closed the lip to the sew access behind her and quickly made her way to the main club room, all the while making sure she couldn't be seen.
----------------------------------------------
Loud upbeat music now pummeled the cyan blue Pegasus's ears. The music was so loud it was deafening. This however didn't seem to bug any of the ponies who now danced in this club without a care. Without any particular lead to go on she began to search through the crowds of ponies as strobe lights flickered about the room. She however stopped to gawk at a sight she saw along the way. A mare and a stallion were laying on a table going at it and no pony else seemed to care. To make this even more of a sight than it already was some stallions and mares were watching and masturbating to the action.
“What kind of club did I sneak into?” Rainbow Dash asked herself aloud as she yanked her gaze away from the two ponies having sex and continued to search for somepony who at least seemed to have their wits about them so she could ask if they had seen Fluttershy.
Finally she seemed to have found a stallion who at least looked as if he wasn't too far gone from drinking too much apple beer. “Excuse me, have you seen a yellow Pegasus with a butterfly cutie mark?” Rainbow Dash shouted to the stallion. Even though she was right in front of him she had to shout in order to be heard over the extremely loud music in the club.
“You looking for some action too? Ha, I didn't know there were any lesbians in this club!” The stallion replied with a laugh.
“So you've seen her?” Rainbow Dash asked feeling herself filled with hope and excitement for the first time in years. She could have swore the stallion spoke something of a lesbian and something regarding action but with the loud music pummeling her ears she couldn't quite make out exactly what he was saying.
“Oh yeah, she's over there. Just have bits ready, she don't come cheep!” The stallion exclaimed with a grin as he pointed over to her right.
“Thank you so much!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a wide smile.
“No problem! You must be really pent up!” The stallion exclaimed as she ran off so Rainbow Dash didn't hear what he had said.
Rainbow Dash made her way over in the direction the stallion had pointed her to with for the first time in a long time overwhelming joy only to have it nearly shattered at the sight that beheld her. It was Fluttershy alright, but nothing like Rainbow Dash remembered her.
The yellow Pegasus was currently laying on her back on a table,her chest covered in stallion cum, and getting plowed by a stallion with what Rainbow Dash could have swore be more than twenty bottles of apple beer littered around her. “F-F-Fluttershy?!” Rainbow Dash asked in a shocked tone unable to believe what she was seeing.
Fluttershy snapped her eyes open and laughed as if not phased by the appearance of her long lost friend. “Oh wow, I’m so bucking drunk I’m seeing dead ponies now, haha! Maybe I should lay off the apple beer!” Fluttershy exclaimed followed by a drunken laugh.
“Fluttershy, I’m not dead! I'm alive and I’m right here! What happened to you?!” Rainbow Dash asked in a horrified tone. She almost couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her friend was having sex right in front of her and drunk off her gourd. To make matters worse it looked as if she had a pot full of bits next to her which told the cyan blue Pegasus she was selling her body.
“Yeah, yeah. Go away ghost. Can't you see I’m getting plowed right now? You're gonna ruin my mood!” Fluttershy replied then looked at the stallion who was plowing her. “Hey, you best not blow your load in me! You pull out and blow on my chest, not in my cunt, got it? I don't want to have to waste bits on a morning after pill just because some colt couldn't hold his spunk in long enough to pull out!” Fluttershy exclaimed in a drunken heated tone.
“How about I pay ya extra then?” The stallion replied as she continued to plow her.
“Buck no! If your gonna blow, then you blow on my chest!” Fluttershy exclaimed as she flashed a glare at the stallion.
“What could have possibly happened to her to make her become a slut? This can't be the same Fluttershy I know. It just can't!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed and gave a glance over at her flank though it was impossible to get a clear view with the stallion plowing her. Not wanting to continue watching, she turned her back in hopes that once he finished with the mare she could get a clear view at her flank.
This fiasco continued for another ten minuets until she heard the stallion grunt and moan loudly which she knew was a sure fire signal he was finishing up. “Hey! I said not inside you horseappling mule!” Fluttershy exclaimed in a pissed off town which prompted the cyan blue Pegasus to whirl around and see the yellow Pegasus buck the stallion off mid-squirt, jump on her hind hooves, and scissor kick the stallion which knocked him into a crowd of ponies.
Rainbow Dash didn't need to see her flank now, no pony in Equestria had that kind of combat skill except her and the Fluttershy she knew. “This is just bucking great! You coated my cunt in your bucking spunk! Now I gotta get a morning after pill! I'm gonna beat the horseapples out of you for this!” Fluttershy exclaimed in a outraged tone, lunged at the stallion only for Rainbow Dash to grab a hold of her and stop the yellow Pegasus.
“Fluttershy, stop! He's not worth it!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a panicked tone as she struggled to hold her back.
“Wait a bucking second, ghosts can't hold onto me!” Fluttershy exclaimed in a shocked tone, stopped fighting against the cyan blue Pegasus and whirled herself around to look at Rainbow Dash, went wide-eyed and gasped. “R-Rainbow? Your alive?” Fluttershy asked in a shocked tone as her eyes began to fill with tears as she looked at the cyan blue Pegasus.
“Yeah, good to see you again Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash replied with a smile.
“I think I’m gonna be sick...” Fluttershy replied in a weak tone at which point she yanked away and vomited onto the floor loudly.
---------------------------------------
“Then I finally found my way here.” Rainbow Dash said having told the yellow Pegasus everything she had done till now as they walked down the street.
“I thought you were dead. Imagine my luck to have you find me when I’m betting bucked.” Fluttershy replied followed by a sigh as she opened the door to the store and walked in to which Rainbow Dash followed.
“Yeah, about that...what happened to you to make you do that to yourself? I mean, selling you body for bits? Why in Equestria would you do that to yourself Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash asked in a worried tone as Fluttershy took a small box labeled”Foal begone! The pill to make sure the best night of your life doesn't turn into the worst night of your life six months later!” and paid for it at the counter and left the store a few moments later followed by Rainbow Dash.
“Life happened Rainbow. I have no real skills in the world, so I made use of the one thing I had that I knew could land me some bits. Gotta make a living somehow.” Fluttershy replied nonchalantly.
“No real skills? Fluttershy, your a master of martial arts!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in disbelief.
“Martial arts, yeah I’m a master of it alright. Master of a skill that no pony in Equestria believes exists! Wake up and smell the coffee burning Rainbow! You don't think I didn't try to find a job that could put those skills to use?! When that failed I turned to the one other thing I knew of that could get me some bucking money!” Fluttershy exclaimed in a heated tone with a glare at the cyan blue Pegasus.
“But selling your body for bits? Where in Equestria did you get an idea to do that?!” Rainbow Dash asked incredulously.
“Remember when Gilda beat the snot out of you four years ago?” Fluttershy asked as they walked down the street and to an apartment complex.
“Of course! Gilda spoke of whoring me out for bits!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in realization of how Fluttershy learned of this.
“Yeah, I should thank her one day. I'd be dead on the street right now if she hadn't given me the idea.” Fluttershy replied then sighed as she opened the door to her apartment and walked in.
Rainbow Dash looked around, the room was not in the best of condition, in fact it looked to be a wreck compared to most homes she'd seen till now. “Thank her? Why in the buck would you thank her for giving you the idea to be a whore?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a pissed off tone.
It was almost unbelievable. The kind nature loving pony she knew was now a slut for high to the highest paying stallion. Rainbow Dash knew what this kind of life was about. She knew this because she was dropped her off at a whore house by Ace and had some reality pounded into her and in ways she'd rather not remember. “How can you do this to yourself Fluttershy?! What would Ace think of you if he saw you now?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in an outraged tone.
It was at this point Fluttershy whirled around and glared at her. “Master Ace is dead! They're all dead! Don't you dare walk into my life after three years and tell me how I should live it! You think I enjoy this kind of life?! You think I like getting my cunt pounded raw night after night?! Well reality check Rainbow! Life isn't fair! You take what you can get and buck the world!” Fluttershy roared at the cyan blue Pegasus, turned to her fridge, kicked it open, took a bottle of apple beer out, and began to chug it.
“You sound like Gilda...” Rainbow Dash remarked sourly upon hearing this.
“Well maybe she had the right idea then!” Fluttershy retorted after she finished downing the bottle of apple beer and tossed it into the trash can.
“No she didn't! Listen to me Fluttershy! I'm going to join Celestia's royal army so we can fight and end this war! Come with me Fluttershy! Your so much better than this!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she put a hoof on each of Fluttershy's shoulders and looked at her.
“I-I don't want to fight though Rainbow....I'd rather just live out the rest of my life alone...” Fluttershy remarked in a shy tone as her expression softened greatly now looking away.
“Fluttershy, I know you better than that!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as the yellow Pegasus gently moved her hooves away and opened the fridge again to take another bottle of apple beer out.
“What is wrong with you?! I know our home town got destroyed, yeah it was hard on both of us, but we need to put what we learned from Ace to use and help end this war!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed hoping she was talking some sense into her best friend.
“I-I don't want to talk about it...” Fluttershy replied turning away from the cyan blue Pegasus and quickly began to pick up a bottle of apple beer next to her until Rainbow Dash swatted it out of her hoof.
“Don't beat yourself up Fluttershy! There was nothing you could have done!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed grabbing Fluttershy's hooves with her own and staring at her.
“Yes there was! I could have easily kicked all their flanks! But I sat there like a coward! I am a coward...a shy, spineless coward...” Fluttershy replied only to get slapped by the cyan blue Pegasus.
SLAP!!!
“Fluttershy, You need to stop beating yourself up! You're stronger than that!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed looking into her friend's tear filled eyes whom was holding her cheek in shock now.
“But-But I’m not...” Fluttershy replied lowering her head at which point Rainbow Dash gave a heavy sigh.
“Yes you are. I know you. Your the strongest pony I’ve ever known. That's the reason I want you to fight at my side. So you can protect what you hold dear.” Rainbow Dash replied and lifted her head so she was staring into the cyan blue Pegasus's eyes now. “Now tell me, what do you hold dear?” Rainbow Dash asked her in a soft and comforting tone.
“Life,I hold life dear. I don't want to see anypony or any animal get hurt.” Fluttershy replied after a few moments instead of saying the first thing that came to mind which was to say how much she held Rainbow Dash dear to her heart.
“Then maybe it's time to protect that. I know you can do it Fluttershy. Please, come with me.” Rainbow Dash replied in a soft tone looking in her eyes now.
“I can't. I'm too nice of a pony to hurt others. I can't hurt other ponies. It's just not in me.” Fluttershy replied with a sigh.
“You sure didn't have any trouble wanting to kick that stallion's flank in the club.” Rainbow Dash replied in s skeptic tone.
“I was drunk beyond all bucking reasoning Rainbow. It's the only way I can let stallions do that to me. It's the only time I can let go of my kindness.” Fluttershy replied and sighed as she hung her head low in shame.
“Use that then Fluttershy! Use that to let go Fluttershy, let go of your kindness, if only for a little while so you can protect what you hold dear!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed looking at her fiercely now.
“You want me to get drunk so I can hurt ponies?” Fluttershy asked incredulously. She wasn't sure if it was the fact that the bottle of apple beer she had just chugged down was beginning to dull her senses again or if she was being serious.
“Buck no, I want you to use that feeling you get when your drunk, the feeling that allows you to let go of that kindness. I'm sure you know what it is. Please Fluttershy, I don't want to go into this with you.” Rainbow Dash replied in a soft tone as she looked at her.
“I don't know if I can.” Fluttershy replied in a low tone followed by a depressed sigh.
“You won't know till you try.” Rainbow Dash replied with a warm smile as she lifted her face up so it was eye level with her own.
“Okay, I'll try, but not till tomorrow. I'm not about to walk into a recruitment office unless I’m sober.” Fluttershy replied, walked over to her bed and lay down.
“Alright. First thing tomorrow we head out. Okay?” Rainbow Dash replied as she lay down next to the bed.
“Get the buck in the bed Rainbow. You're not going to sleep on this floor.” Fluttershy said in a stern tone earning a chuckle from the cyan blue Pegasus.
“Why? Afraid I’ll get eaten by rats?” Rainbow Dash asked in a joking tone.
“No, but I’m afraid you'll get rabies from one of then though.” Fluttershy replied in a soft tone which caused the cyan blue Pegasus to give a small gulp as she climbed in bed next to Fluttershy.
“Good night Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash said with a yawn.
“Night Dashy...” Fluttershy replied with a blush as she felt the cyan blue Pegasus's body run against her back. Then looked out her window as a single tear streaked down her cheek.
Thank you master Ace for bringing her back into my life...
I was so lost...
Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to tell her how I really feel...
