chapter 1, Blood
Fluttershy opened her eyes to a bright and sunny day, she smiled and stretched hearing ceartain muscles and bones pop. She got up and remembered the picnic with all of her pony friends this evning. She trotted over to the bathroom and ran a brush through her mane and tail. Then went back and checked the time.''11:05? I didn't know I slept in THAT mutch!'' she said looking suprised. her friends were probably waiting for her right now! she went down the stairs and was about to open the door.''THONK!'' a carrot hit the back of her head.''oh! angel bunny I almost forgot hehe...'' she tried to sound serious while the white rabbit hopped into the kitchen waiting for his dinner. as soon as he left her sight she scowled at where the rabbit had been.
Fluttershy was walking down the road with her saddlebags on her back and a determined grin on her muzzle. She had brought something extra-special for somepony extra-special today. A home-made rainbow cake with a tri-colored lightning bolt cutie mark adorned on it. she hummed happilly as her friends came into view. ''howdy fluttershy!'' applejack greeted her first. ''hey there shy!'' then rainbow and everypony else as she sat down and took off her saddlebags. She took out the cake and shoved it over to rainbow dash.''hey, whats the occasion?'' rainbow dash asked while looking at the home made treat.''Um its just for you always sticking up for me and being a good friend.'' fluttershy smiled. Thanks shy. rainbow said as she hugged the shy pony. Fluttershy blushed a rosy red and this caught the eye of a certain white unicorn.''pinkie did you see that? With fluttershy?'' rarity whispered to the pink pony.''See what?'' pinkie asked glancing back and forth between fluttershy and rarity.''When rainbow dash hugged her she blushed redder than a tomato!'' she giggled as she looked at the still pink fluttershy.''ooooh! I think somepony has a crushie!''pinkie cheered silentley.
Rainbow dash, twilight, and applejack were leaving while fluttershy packed up. fluttershy was starting to leave when pinkie and rarity stepped in front of her.''Have you told her yet?'' rarity asked smiling. fluttershy started to shrink back. I-I don't know what your talking about.''Oh of course you do dear! we saw you blushing when rainbow dash hugged you!'' rarity pressed as fluttershy satrted to blush.''Ok fine! I do have a crush on her but i am NOT telling her!'' fluttershy said while glaring at the two smiling ponies. But fluttershy how will you have a chance if you don't even ask?'' fluttershy realised she was right."Ok i'll tell her right now then.'' fluttershy said smartly as she went in the direction of rainbow's cloud house glaring daggers at them the whole way.
Fluttershy knocked on rainbows door as it made a weird smooshy sound each time she tapped it. rainbow opened the door and smiled.''what are you doing here? need to borrow some sugar?'' rainbow joked as she let fluttershy inside.''No but I do need to talk to you about something.'' fluttershy's gaze turned serious.''Oh um okay.'' rainbow replied nervousley.''Well ever since we were fillies I kind of had a little tiny crush on you and i wanted to know if you feel the same?'' fluttershy cringed expecting rainbow to act scared. instead she had a face of rage. YOU WHAT?!? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST STROLL IN HERE AND TELL ME YOU LIKE ME?!? rainbow dash was standing on her hind legs yelling at the poor shy pony beneath her now shaking like a leaf.''Dont you remember flight school?'' rainbow whispered dangerousley in her face. fluttershy was about to leave when rainbow did the unthinkable. She punched fluttershy straight in the middle of her muzzle as hard as she could. fluttershy went flying back as she hit the wall, blood gushing out of her snout and a small stream of it coming out of her mouth. fluttershy's pupils were as small as pinpricks as she dodged another punch and flew out the door. ''AND NEVER COME BACK!'' rainbow yelled out the door. Fluttershy was in tears flying in a random direction. she didn't care anymore. She started to get sleepy and saw a tree that she soon flew under. she stumbled around a bit then laid down and started to fall asleep.''what in tarnation? Big mac come over here! its an emergency!''
Chapter 2: Bruises
Fluttershy woke up to the smell of cinnamon apples. She looked around to see she was at applejacks house. She was about to get up when applejack walked in, ''Hey there sleepy head. bout' time you woke up.'' She said trying to sound happy but it came out like she just saw her orchard on fire. ''So um.. since your awake an' all, I wanted ta' ask, what happened to you last night? You were bleedin'!'' Applejack asked worriedly. Fluttershy instantly remembered the confession, the beating, the bleeding, and the retreat. She shivered from the thought. "I-I'd rather tell everyone together." Fluttershy said sadly while looking at her semi bloody snout.
Fluttershy sat under a stray tree not very far under rainbow dash's cloud home with her four friends rarity, applejack, twilight, and pinkie pie sitting around her waiting expectantly for her story. She told them about how rainbow dash had reacted when she confessed, and how rainbow dash punched her. ''She did WHAT?'' applejack yelled after fluttershy finished talking. ''how horrible! Why would rainbow dash do sutch a thing?'' rarity asked while giving fluttershy a sad look. ''Why dont we ask her ourselves?'' applejack hissed while glaring at rainbow's house above her. ''RAINBOW DASH! you get down here RIGHT now!'' Applejack yelled up towards the house. Rainbow dash peeked her head out and flew down with an angry expression, then leaned on the tree. ''What's she doing here?'' rainbow spat while glaring at fluttershy. Applejack couldn't take it anymore. she yelled, reared forward on her front legs and kicked out as hard as she could. She hit rainbow square in the stomach as an audible 'SNAP' was heard. a rib jutted out of rainbow's chest and she let out a painful cry as she fell over, gripping her chest as blood gushed out of the wound. ''RAINBOW DASH!'' fluttershy cried as she galloped over to her crush. rainbow was shaking convulsively and gasping for breath. Fluttershy rolled rainbow onto her back, and started galloping to the hospital.
