The truth about my darkness

Today was the day. The day of the camping trip.

They were going to camp in Manestream forest for a week. They had picked Manestream forest because the rest of the ponies in town said that it was a great camping spot as it didn't have any unwanted creatures in it.

Rainbow was packing her suitcase at her house. She didn't need to bring much, really. She litterly just got an apple, sleeping bag and a towel. Oh, and her saddlebag ufcourse. She had been thinking of skipping the towel and the sleeping bag by just making them out of clouds at Manestream forest, but then she remembered that there might not be clouds around there when she need them. When she was done packing, she decided to skip the 'flying-all-crazy-and-making-awesome-barrel-rolls' part and just walk. As she walked, she looked at all the ponies in Ponyville. Berry Punch where selling wine, Bon-Bon where selling sweets, Lyra was chit-chatting with Octavia... She even saw Ponyville's two new residents, Paw Flier and JoyStick taking a little flight. When she finally reached Ponyville's train station, she saw both Applejack and Pinkie waiting.

"Wassup?" Rainbow said as she approached them. Pinkie turned around so fast that Rainbow couldn't resist to feel a little pride  in her chest. When Pinkie saw that it was Rainbow, she gasped and reached for her saddlebag. And out of the saddlebag, totally fresh and newly baked, a apple pie came out. But when Pinkie stopped infront of Rainbow, the pie flew out of Pinkie's hooves and flew right into Rainbow's face.

"Oh my gosh! Im so sorry Rainbow! I didn't mean for it to happen!"

Rainbow was shocked at first as she heard Pinkie say a sentence that sounded like something coming out of Fluttershy, but she ignored it after a little while. She removed the pie by using the towel she had in her bag.

'Towel, its your que." She thought for herself as she wiped off the apple sauce.

"Don't worry Pinkie... Its allright." Rainbow said with a reasuring smile as she put the towel back in her saddle bag.

The 3 freinds started talking about small things in their life. Applejack talked about how the buissness for the farm had been going atleast 60% better, Pinkie talked about the big Welcome to Ponyville party she had been hosting for the new residents, but Applejack and Rainbow Dash didn't understand anything as she succeded to talk so fast that it only took 10 seconds. Rainbow talked a little bit about her new moves in her tricktionary just as the other 3 arrived.

"Sup guys." Rainbow said to them as they got closer.

"Hello Rainbow, And hello to Applejack and Pinkie too." Twilight said happily as she stopped infront of Rainbow Dash. A loud wistle could be heard and everypony knew what that meant.

The train was arriving.

"Good heavens! That train looks alot stranger then the train that goes to Canterlot!" Rarity exclaimed. The train had a red and purple colour with a few white lines at the sides. It looked a bit more modern, but it still had a locomotive dragging the carts.

"Yes Rarity, this is a train from the Northern parts of Equestria. Its designed to handle up to -50 Degrees celsius while going in 230 Km/h. Its weight is abou-"

"Yeah yeah, lets go. Your lecture is going to make us miss our train." Rainbow said, interupting Twilights lecture. Twilight shoot a quick glare at Rainbow but followed the rest of her freinds as they boarded the train. They walked over to their cart and chosed their seats. Rarity sat beside fluttershy, Pinkie sat beside Applejack and Rainbow beside Twilight. After 10 minutes of traveling, Twilight decided to break the silence that was between her and Rainbow.

"So... Is your training going well?"

Rainbow looked at Twilight strangely, but turned away from her and decided to answer her question.

"Good i suppose..."

Twilight became unsatisfyed with the answer but decided to just let it go. After another 10 minutes of awkward silence, Twilight tried again.

"Have you made any new freinds at the Wondetbolt Academy?" Now Rainbow got really confused.

"Uhh... Twi, The Wonderbolt Acedemy was over a year ago..."

"I thought..."

Rainbow sighed deeply. She looked into Twilights eyes as she spoke.

"They don't want me in the Wonderbolts. Spitfire said so herself. It was something about Emotions from one of the team members... So.. I will not be a Wondetbolt untill that team member quits..."

A tear fell from Rainbows eye. This was a common thing during the last year. Rainbow had opened up. She was not hiding herself as much anymore. She actually showed her feelings. Not so much as she would need to show them, but she still showed them.

"And sadly... I know what it all is about. I know who it is. I know what it is, And i wish it could be diffrent."

Twilight was in shock at the moment. Rainbow Dash, The one and only Rainbow Dash had admitted feelings. Feelings for who? She might never know, but one thing was for sure; Rainbow had softened up.

"What?" Was all Twilight could say. She definenlty needed to find out more.

"I will tell you... But now, Is not the time Twilight. You know WHO it is, but you dont know him."

'Ok, She said HIM. I always thought...'

"And yes Twilight... Im not a Fillyfooler."

"We are arriving in Manehatten in 5 Minutes. Get your scarfs everypony!"

"Ok. We will talk about this later Rainbow. Okay?"

"No Twilight. I will talk to YOU when its time. And now, is not the time. Neither is later Today."

And with that, Rainbow left her seat and walked to the rest of the gang who was standing by the exit. Twilight couldn't stop thinking of the awkward conversation she just had with Rainbow, But she also thought of what she had said.

"I will talk to YOU when its time."

Twilight exited the train with her freinds and they all started walking to Manestream Forest.
