Part 2-And Then There's Fluttershy

PART 2, STORY 1-AND THEN THERE'S FLUTTERSHY

Fluttershy entered the store next. She needed the same thing Twilight did. Rainbow said, "May I help you?" "Uhm...well....*squeak*..." Said Fluttershy. "I, um, kinda, maybe, sorta...uh...you see, I see these strange shadows in the dark at night, and uh, I don't really feel the need to leave my room to go to the bathroom when I need to, because I'm afraid something will, I don't know, jump out and grab me by the hoof or something, so I just burrow under my covers with my plushies and...and...uh...um..." Fluttershy said in a voice barely louder than a whisper.

"Ah." Said Dash. She raced over to the other side of the store. Fluttershy made out a dim rainbow trail when she followed the clerk. Huh? But I thought the only pony that could make such a colorful trail like that was--

"This what you want?" Rainbow asked, holding the same box of waterproof mattress protectors that Twilight had purchased earlier. "Um, yeah..." Fluttershy replied softly. Rainbow speed-walked back to the other side of the store. Fluttershy kept up with her. Rainbow was speed-walking so fast that her store clerk outfit pants slid down to her gaskin, revealing her cutie mark. "Whoops!" Dash muttered, pulling her pants back up. But Fluttershy had seen her visible cutie mark. No way! It must be-

"Name?" Rainbow asked. "Um, I'm Fluttershy..." Fluttershy mumbled, almost mouthing it. But Rainbow already knew her name so it didn't matter if she heard her anyway. Tik tik tik tik tak. "That'll be $3.50," said Dash."Oh dear...I forgot my wallet..." Fluttershy stuttered. Dash thought quickly. "Uh...on the house," Rainbow said. Fluttershy's ear went straight back up. "Oh, why, um, thank you," said Fluttershy, blushing. She took the bag in her mouth and flew out of the store. Rainbow knew she represented the element of loyalty, but these 2 secrets were just too good to keep.

Part 1-At the Store

PART 1, STORY 1-AT THE STORE

Twilight Sparkle raced in the drizzling rain towards the store. She was truly embarrassed that she had this sort of problem, but she HAD to tell at least someone. Besides, she figured the store clerk would keep her secret. The store bell thing jangled as Twilight entered the store. A pony dressed in what looked like a UPS outfit opened a door behind the checkout desk. "Um, hi?" said Twilight. The clerk's face was shadowed by her hat so that she could go...unrecognized...by Twilight. "I'm looking for-" Twilight hesitated-"waterproof mattress protectors."

"Bladder problems, huh?" said the clerk.

"What?"

"Nocturnal enuresis?"

"Um..."

"Heh, just kiddin' ya. Follow me.

The clerk led Twilight towards the back of the store. The clerk then pulled a tiny cord that turned on a little lightbulb. But the light was so dim that Twi could barely make out half of the clerk's body. What the--a rainbow tail?? Twilight thought, a questionable look on her face. Hmm...

The clerk searched for the box of waterproof mattress protectors. She found it and took it off the shelf with her mouth. Then, with all her might, she tossed the box all the way to the other side of the store. It landed square in the middle of the checkout desk. Wow, impressive throw! Thought Twilight. The clerk and Twi raced over to the desk. In the dim light Twi could see the clerk had a light sky blue face. A blue face and rainbow tail? That means the clerk obviously must be--"Ahem, did you hear what I said?" The clerk asked, slightly annoyed. "Hm?" Said Twilight, jerking her head up. "I SAID, name please." Said the clerk. "T-Twilight Sparkle," Twilight shakily said. Tik-tak went the keyboard as the clerk typed in her name. "That'll be $3.50," said the clerk. Twilight gave her the money and started towards the door. Casting a suspicious look at the clerk, she fled the store. The clerk cast a knowingly look at where Twilight just left and kind of slightly half-smiled. Rainbow Dash now knew that Twilight Sparkle still wets the bed.

Part 3- The Confrontation

PART 3, STORY 1-THE CONFRONTATION

Fluttershy raced over to Twilight's tree house. "Twilight! Twilight!" Fluttershy screamed frantically, pounding on the door. "WHAAAAT?!" Twilight yelled, flinging the door open. "Oh, it's you, Fluttershy. Sorry."

"Twilight!...I think our secret's out!"

"What the buck!...What do you mean?! Here, come inside!"

Soon the two girls were in Twilight's library, discussing what the heck was going on.

"The clerk...I think something is up with her."

"I know exactly what you mean, Flutters. I mean, she had this very familiar voice, and had a light sky blue face with a rainbow tail."

"Yeah! And she had a  rainbow trail and rainbow lightning bolt cutie mark!"

"Rainbow lightning bolt cutie mark?? Oh no. You don't suppose..."

"It can't be possible...!"

"That the clerk is..."

They both raced across the street to the store. Soon the door was kicked open. Flutters and Twilight pointed to Rainbow Dash at the exact same time and yelled,

"RAINBOW DASH!!"

Dash dropped the envelope she was holding in her mouth, ready to send it.

"Oh, I don't suppose this is a LETTER to the PRINCESS that me & Fluttershy still wet the bed?" Twilight interrogated, grabbing the envelope. "Hey! No, wait!!" Rainbow shouted. Twilight ripped open the envelope.

"What the...?"

It was a subscription order form to The Silly Fillies Count To Ten book series.

"Uh..."

"Look! This, uh, isn't what it looks like? Heh heh."

"Dash, you're ordering a little filly's book series?!"

"Uh, no, it's...it's...for the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"The Cutie Mark Crusaders. Really."

"Uh, yeah!"

"Well then. As long as our secrets are safe, let's go."

Twilight and Fluttershy left the store. Rainbow Dash threw the subscription in a drawer in the checkout desk and exhaled in relief. As long as nopony knew her two secrets, then everything was going to be alright.

Hopefully.

Part 4- Rainbow Dash's Secrets

PART 4, STORY 1-RAINBOW DASH'S SECRETS

Rainbow wiped the salty drops of sweat off her forehead with a "Phew!" She called the Cutie Mark Crusaders (the CMC). "Hey-y-y! You three still doing the Gabby Gums newspaper?...Great. 'Cause I have some news for you."

Later the next day, Twilight and Fluttershy were walking down the street, ready to go to Sweet Apple Acres. "Um, Twilight, do you think I could grab a newspaper really quick?" Fluttershy was standing in front of a news stand. "Sure," Twilight replied. Twi waltzed over to the news stand. "2 copies, please." But the news seller started laughing his head off. "Hey, everypony, look! It's FLUTTERSHY and TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!" A huge crowd of ponies started to gather around the stand and bust their guts laughing. Twilight grabbed a paper. "Flutters, let's get outta here!" She said. The two ponies and newspapers teleported to the middle of the Everfree forest, inside Zecora's hut. "Zecora! Get a load of this!" Twi said, slapping the Gabby Gums paper on the table. Zecora read the paper. "Oh no! Whoever wrote this is an invader of privacy. Hopefully they learn from this kleptocracy!" Zecora declared. "How could Gabby Gums DO something like this?? Unless..." Said Twilight. "Rainbow Dash said that she was going to send the CMC that subscription order form. She must have lied to us and told them our secret!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

Twilight stood there for a few seconds, not saying anything. Then she raced out of the hut. Next she ran all the way to the store. The door flew open. Rainbow was standing there, helping a customer. Twilight, in tears, shouted, "Some element of loyalty YOU are!" Rainbow's mouth dropped agape as Twi raced back out of the store.
