As the days went on Fluttershy did not change her outlook on what her 'friends' had said. She avoided them as much as possible when she had to go into town. She didn't want to talk to them anymore. She has grown accustomed to being alone with her animals.

Fluttershy was starting to break, her mind being corrupted by thoughts of the other ponies bullying her. She had become cold, angry, and depressed. She was sitting in her house looking out the window. "I need to go get food for angel, he must be hungry" she said as she got to her hooves. She left her grotto and headed off in the direction of Ponyville. She walked into town and up the street. She passed Rainbow Dash, who was eyeballing a new poster of the Wonderbolts. "Fluttershy...hey Fluttershy wait up" Rainbow said as she saw her friend walking up the street. Fluttershy ignored her. "Fluttershy, are you ok, you don't seem to be yourself...come to think of it you haven't been acting like yourself in a while; it seems like your always ignoring us it seems" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy was starting to get annoyed, she started to walk faster. Rainbow Dash walked up in front of Fluttershy, blocking her path. Fluttershy stopped and looked at Rainbow Dash, anger flowing through her body. "Get away from me" she said quietly, trying not to let her anger explode out of her. "What, why?" Rainbow Dash asked nicely, trying not to aggravate her friend. Fluttershy tried walking around her, but Rainbow Dash just moved over as well. "I said, GET AWAY FROM ME!" Fluttershy said pushing Rainbow Dash to the side and making her fall on the ground. Fluttershy stood over Rainbow Dash "you and the others leave me alone, i want nothing to do with you anymore." Rainbow Dash got to her hooves "What is wrong with you...why do you want us to stay away from you?" Rainbow asked getting worried for her friend. "Oh, you should know what I'm talking about; your all bullies who use me because you think I'm weak, well I’m not, and I want you to leave me alone” Fluttershy said staring coldly into Rainbow’s eyes. “What are you talking about, we never bullied you or anything; what has gotten into you?” Rainbow Dash said to Fluttershy. “I heard what you all said a week ago outside Sugar Cube Corner; we should just ignore her, never liked her anyways, big deal, she can calm big animals” Fluttershy spat out the words that they said a week ago. Then Fluttershy ran off down the road back towards the outskirts of Ponyville and to her grotto. Rainbow gathered her thoughts and then she realized that she must have been listening in on their conversation about Trixie. Rainbow leapt into the air and sped off toward Twilight’s house.

Rainbow Dash didn’t even knock on the door when she arrived at Twilights house. She ran through the house until she found her in the library. “Twilight, we need to talk about Fluttershy, something is wrong with her” Rainbow Dash said. “Yeah, I’ve noticed that too, she seems distant and seems to be trying to ignore everypony around her” Twilight said putting the book that she was reading back on the podium. “I think I know why she is acting the way she is, when we were talking about Trixie about a week ago, she overheard our conversation and thought we were talking about her” Rainbow Dash said. “I ran into her today and she got really angry with me and said that she wanted nothing to do with us anymore because we are nothing but bullies who use her.” “We would never do such a thing, she is our friend and we love her, her mind just must have made her believe that we are bullies” Twilight said to Rainbow. “Well what are we gonna do?” Rainbow asked Twilight, hoping that she would have the answer. “Well, since you talked to her the most, I suggest you go out to her house and try to reason with her; I will go and get the others and we will come up to help you if she still won’t listen to reason” Twilight said as they started to walk towards the door. “Ok, I’ll go talk to her” Rainbow Dash said. She walked out the door and flew off towards Fluttershy’s home. Twilight watched her go. She started to walk to each of their friends’ houses to inform them of the situation and to get them to come help listen to reason if Rainbow can’t do it by herself.
