An Unlikely Crush

It was ten minutes after Fluttershy had entered the Everfree Forest. She was scared to go in, but she had the stare on her side. But the stare doesn't always work.

Fluttershy was walking when she heard rustling in the bushes. That got a "EEP!" Out of Fluttershy. "W-who's there?" To to her surprise, a terrible creature didn't come from the bushes. A black stallion came into view. "Oh, it's just a pony" she said. Before anything else  happened, the stallion threw a punch at Fluttershy's face. She was thrown back. "W-why are you doings this?" She sobbed, clutching her face, that now formed a purple bruise.

"I'm a thug. And thugs like to kill." He exclaimed.

"P-Please don't hurt me!" She cried.

"why would I not hurt you? I said I'm a thug." That felt like an arrow to the heart. The stallion was going to kill her right here, right now.

"Owww." She managed to stammer. He flew over to her, showing he was a pegasus, and whispered it her ear "Any last words?"

She tried flying away, but the stallion grabbed her wing, pulling a few feathers out of her wing. She wrenched in pain.

"Don't even think about it." She did the only think she could think of. Scream.

Rainbow Dash was flying casually when she heard a high pitched scream. Fluttershy? Since when was she able get to that sound level? Never Mind that she sounds in trouble! she followed the scream that lead to the Everfree Forest. Oh no.

When Rainbow reached the clearing where Fluttershy was being assaulted, what she saw made her anger rise over the top. She flew higher in the air. She wasn't running away, she was protecting the butter coloured mare she loved. When she thought she was high enough, she dove down.

When Fluttershy thought she had lost all hope, she waited for the final hit. But then she heard a high pitched whistling noise followed by a loud boom.

"GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OF HER!" An all to familiar voice rang out.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion for Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash was kicking the stallion in the cheek.The impact had been so hard that blood was coming out of a wound that appeared where her hoof hit. The stallion seemed to have passed out all ready. Everything sped up again to normal speed. The attacker was a few metres away from her and Rainbows back leg was drenched with the stallion's blood.

Fluttershy didn't even think, and she wrapped her arms around the cyan wonder and started sobbing when realized her injuries were hurting her like hell.

"It's okay, I'm here." Rainbow Dash said. She realized Fluttershy had some bad injuries, so she took her back to her cottage.

The most adorable thing ever. Fluttershy was all bandaged up, with those cute helpless eyes. Rainbow tunned in when she saw Fluttershy's lips moving. "Oh Rainbow Dash! I don't know if I can ever repay you!!!!" She sobbed. "It's okay, you don't need to" Rainbow reassured. "B-".

"No buts." The blue pegasus put a hoof over Fluttershy's mouth. Fluttershy just closed her eyes. The warmness of her hoof felt amazing.

Rainbow noticed Fluttershy had fell asleep in her arm, so she planted a kiss on her head, where Fluttershy couldn't feel it. Dash placed her in her bed and left the cottage.

Back in the Everfree Forest, a black pegasus awakened. He felt like somepony took out his jaw with a saw and replaced his jaw with concrete. His head was boiling of revenge.

It hadn't been long since Fluttershy was ambushed, when Rainbow was walking home with Fluttershy, when a shadow figure apeared. The real form came in view. A gear clicked inside Rainbow's head.

"StarFlyer?" She gasped when she saw a hoof shaped mark on his cheek. His eye was practically swollen shut. Had she really kicked her best friend (before the other five became more understanding to her)?

"Yeah, it is. And you almost killed me! How could you do that to me?!" He winced at the pain of stretching his mouth to far open.

"I'm the element of loyalty, for Celestia's sake! But more importantly, why were you trying to kill Fluttershy?!?!" Fluttershy's heart started to race. She wasn't enjoying being here.

StarFlyer smiled. "It's because I'm a-"

Rainbow had a hoof over his mouth. "Look, I've had enough of you pushing an and 'Shy around. Unless you shut up, you're gonna get it!

'S-Shy? She's never called me that before.

Being snapped out of her daydream, she noticed StarFlyer and Rainbow were nowhere to be seen. She started to panic.

A heart wrenching scream came from a nearby alley.

"R-Rainbow?" She squeaked.

"H-HEELLLLPP!" Another scream came from the same alley.

"Rainbow! I'm coming" Fluttershy said. Loud.

Fluttershy arrived at the alley and almost vomited at what she saw. Rainbow Dash was sitting against the back wall of the alley with her back legs stretched out in front of her, sitting in a small puddle of blood. She had a few big gashes on her body and StarFlyer was pinning her down. He had a dagger in his hand and was searching for its next stab. Rainbow looked like she was having trouble staying conscious.

She couldn't back away this time. She had to do this for Rainbow Dash. For her Life.

She casually walked up to StarFlyer and tapped him on the shoulder. The second he turned around, Fluttershy smacked a hoof across his face and gave him an uppercut.

"Ahhhhh!!" He screeched. Fluttershy's eyes narrowed.

"Get. Out of here!!!!" She screamed. It didn't take long for him to fly off to get away.

"Flutters'. Th-thank you. But-t I think I-I need-d a hospital." Before RD said anything else, she passed out.

Flutters'? What's with the new nicknames?? She thought as she flew as fast as she could to the Ponyville hospital. When she got there, there was more than enough nurses and doctor to help, considering it was the middle of the night.

They quickly took Rainbow Dash away, leaving Fluttershy in tears in the waiting room. "I-is she going to be okay??" Fluttershy stammered to a doctor coming from Rainbow's room

"She should be fine, she just has a few really deep cuts that should heal in about 2 weeks." He explained. "She lost a lot of blood and is going to need a donation." He said.

"Um, what type is she?" She asked. The doctor dissapeared to Dash's room and appeared moments later.

"Type A." Fluttershy thought for a moment. Wasn't she.....

"I'll donate." Fluttershy said with her bravest smile on her face. "Well, okay if you want to."

The needle hurt a little, but it's all worth it when they're done, she was going to help Rainbow Dash!

"Can I see her?" Fluttershy asked.

"Sure, she's the first door to your left." The doctor directed.

"Thank you."

Fluttershy walked up to Rainbow and looked at her eyes. They were closed. She had bandages on the spots where she had been stabbed on her body. Fluttershy's I eyes filled up with water. Soon she had tears rolling down her cheeks.

Suddenly a pair of beautiful rose eyes opened up because of Fluttershy's sobbing.

"Shy'?" Fluttershy stopped crying the second Raimbow Dash spoke. "I'm okay, Flutters'" she said in a smooth voice. Fluttershy just launched forward into giving Rainbow a giant hug.

"Okay Fluttershy, it's Rainbow Dash's rest time, so visiting hour are over." The nurse said as she was coming in.

"Oh, Okay. I'll go then." Fluttershy said. She just turned around and left.
