Whatever happened?

~~~~

It's been a while since I went over to Rainbow's, so I decided to pay her a visit to see if everything's fine. I told her she can come to the castle to live there, but she for some reason said no. I paid the conductor and went on my way. When I got to Dash's, it looked like no one was there. I flew up and knocked on the door. Scootaloo answered.

"Is Rainbow Dash here Scootaloo?" I Asked.

"No. She's at the forest." She replied. The forest?!

"Why is she there?" I asked, trying not to panic.

"I don't know. She's only been there about 20 minutes."

"Ok, have fun" I said. After Scootaloo closed the door, I flew at a racing pace to the forest. I found her sitting by a rock a the edge of the tree line.

"Rainbow! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Discord. He- he's so sad. His favorite ponies-- his only two friends. Only to be discovered by him." She said without looking up. What was she talking about?

"Discord?"

Rainbow Dash pointed out a pinkish body. It was small so it was probably a filly. "That's Screwball. Discord's daughter. She got killed in the disaster. I felt so bad that- I actually hugged him." She turned around revealing a tear stained face. "I even liked it some. Then he smiled at me and left."

"Discord has a daughter?" I asked.

"Had, Twilight. Had a daughter." Rainbow said sternly. "He also said that Fluttershy looked like a wreck when he found her but he cleaned her some. I feel so bad for him. For-- them." She said sadly. I went up and leaned against her assuringly. She laid her head on my shoulder as we slowly slid down. She slowly fell asleep. I watched her as well as listened to her steady breathing. I must have fallen asleep too because when I woke up, I was in a different position, this one on my side with Rainbow hugging me on her side too. It looked like she was just starting to wake up when I saw her. She moaned restlessly and snuggled deeper into me. No; I have to get outta this. I'm not doing this again. I moved out of her grip only to be held again. I mumbled to myself. I bit her foreleg and she flinched just enough for me to escape. I flew away and went to the train station. Of course I felt guilty but, well, I do t like this. And if Shining Armor found out, oh if he found out; I'd be dead meat.  As I got to the station the conductor greeted me with a nod.

"My Princess, you sure are coming to Ponyville a lot. Why? There's certainly nothing to see is there?"

"Well Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo are still alive. Miraculously." I replied. I boarded the train and went back to the empire. I want to stay there for a while. I hope I can without Rainbow coming over. I just, need a break; just a little break. While I rode I talked to some of the passengers on the train. I told them as well why I was going to Ponyville so often now when they asked.  They were amazed at how they were alive and well. The train stopped and I got off and entered the castle. Instantly, I was greeted with Shining Armor and Spike.

"We were so worried!" Shining said. "Next time, tell me if your staying overnight. I was about to call the other guards over to look for you."

"No you weren't." I said, smirking. We all laughed and Spike have me a welcoming hug. I thought I'd stay here for a while. I think the both of us should stay with our families. I hope we can stay stable long enough.
