The truth about them all

Everypony stared at the pink pegasus. Was the thing she said true? Applejack took her hat off and placed it over her chest. Fluttershy tried to hide behind Applejack, which she sat next to. Twilight just stared and diddn't say a thing. She just looked deeply in the eyes of the pink pegasus. Firefly got a quick eye contact with Twilight and quickly avoided it.

"Bu-   th- wa- Huh?!" Was all that could escape Twilights throat.

"Yes, it is true. And Fluttershy, dont hide my dear. I think you should know now that im not dangerous." She said. Fluttershy, encouraged by the words from the pegasus mare, stood up in the middle of the group.

"We all thought you where dead! What happend!?" Fluttershy asked. Her voice where curious. But still low and sweet.

"After th-" Was all she could say before a specific cyan mare with rainbow mane crashed into Fluttershy, making them tumble down the hill. Rarity, Twilight and Firefly where closest to the side where they had rolled down. They looked down only to see Rainbow beeing under a bush, and Fluttershy where beside a rock a few feet away from the bush. They both stood up. Fluttershy  covered in some dirt and Rainbow Dash where covered totally in leaves, but she quickly shaked them off.

"Sorry Fluttershy, I flyed faster then i thought..." Rainbow Dash said. She looked up the hill and lost all emotions on her face. She diddn't move a muscle. Her wings where in their same half open state. A small dry tear went down her cheek and landed in the warm grass below. She stood in both awe, sadness, fear and anger.

"Dont worry Rainbow! It was my fault too!" Fluttershy said, not noticing Rainbow's emotionless state.

"Are you okay there sugarcube?" Applejack said while jumping down the hill.

"Oh Oh!! Its a staring competition!!" Pinkie said while making her bouncing way down the hill. She was down at the bottom in 10 seconds flat and suddenly stood in the same way as Rainbow, staring into her eyes.

Her freinds suddenly looked at her in a bit of anger but also confusion.

"Or not..." she said while backing off.

"Are ya there RD?" Applejack asked. Placing her front leg around Rainbows shoulder. When the leg landed on her neck, her tail's color's became grayer. The eyes dark, dark purple. And the cyan coat, like a raincloud. Rainbows legs started shaking and she suddenly fell down on the ground, sobbing quietly.

"You get her to my libary, ill talk with Firefly." Twilight said. Her freinds nodded and carefully helped Rainbow back on her legs and led her towards Ponyville.

After they where out of sight, she went over to Firefly who sat on the stone Fluttershy had landed beside a few moments earlier. She looked down at the ground, wings closed and carefully poked the ground with her backleg.

"Can you explain to me why Rainbow is acting like this?" Twilight asked.

Firefly looked at the purple unicorn that sat beside her in the grass. Twilights eyes showed, confusion, ander and couriousity.

Firefly just sighed. "About... 12 years ago.. At easter... i brought her and Fluttershy to a circus. It was the circus where her father worked on. He was the announcer.... or whatever you call them. Rainbow and Fluttershy Where best freinds. Rainbow got bullied for beeing so over sensitive and everytime she got enough sad, she would lose her colors."

"WAIT" Twilight said, interupting Firefly. "Over-Sensitive? She is the toughest around! She kicked a dragon on the nose, she is the only one who has pulled of a sonic rainboom, she has never quited hunting her dream. Except that one time where she discoverd that Beeing the best where the main priority but then they fixed it... but Over-Sensitive!? And what about the lost of colors!?"

"Yes Twilight Sparkle. She was over-sensitive. That is why she is so cocky. To hide her feelings. You dont kick a dragon on the nose if you are not super cocky. The colors dissaperance where something that came from her fathers side. No doctors or anything could explain it" Firefly said. She looked at the younger mare below her. Twilight looked down at the ground.

"Continue" she said with a weak voice. Almost a whisper.

"Well. A fire broke out. And i brought Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash outside to safety, and then went in again to get her father. I found him, under a a I-Beam that was used in the show. He told me to get out, and to tell Rainbow that he loved her. Then he fainted. I couldn't get him lose. I keept fighting and fighting. And then, the whole circus tent went down on us. And i went in coma. Her father diddn't survive. But i did. And i where in coma for 3 years. When i woke up, i diddn't remember anything. Suddenly i where in Manehatten. The doctors said that they found me beside the I-beam and they couldn't indentefy me. When the doctor told me about the circus, i rememberd. I asked about Rainbow Dash, and he said that they diddn't know where she was. I searched over all of equestria. And then i ended up in Saddle Arabia. I where there for 8 years, but it always felt like something where missing. I moved there to settle down and forget, which where harder then i thought. Suddenly, news about the elements of harmony came along. But by that time, i where to poor to get a train ticket. So for the last year, ive been traveling by foot here. And now im here." Firefly finished the story.

"So she have lived by herself since she was a little filly... Thats so.... Sad... And it also explains why she was crying before when it was easter." Twilight said. A small tear went down from her eye.

"We have a pegasus to talk to!" Twilight said. Firefly got a small smile on her face and started to follow Twilight on their way to back ponyville.
