Harmonys Dark Secret
Chapter 1: The Spark
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThe idea of young love can truly be described as a love that has not been recognized due to youth.
When love sparks it is not something you can feel or know. It is the moment in which you have forgotten. It is not the moment you first laid eyes on one another or the time your hands first touched. It is the time when you forget what love is that you discover the love you've always had. Because when you forget, you can only remember. - Ashley Mikeworth
During the years before the Elements of Harmony came together there were two Pegasus's. Both had there own unique personality very opposite from one another, yet through every personality there is a similarity and that is were we find our friendships, lovers, partners and how we can tolerate our families even though they drive us insane. This special bond hidden within ourselves makes us all the same no matter how different from each other we may seem. It is the heart to the reason why opposites attract.
"Hey, I haven't seen you around these parts of cumulous before what's your name?" say's the eccentric young lady.
"Fluteshhhh y.." whispers the shy girl.
"What was that?" asks the young lady.
" My name's Flutter shh shh.." whispers the shy girl again.
"I'm sorry you're going to have to repeat that just a little bit louder."
"HER NAME'S FLUTTERSHY!" yells a young boy from across the clouds.
"Fluttershy is it, my names Rainbow Dash nice to finally meet you." Rainbow Dash greets as she extends her hand for a shake. The shy Fluttershy calmly rejects the hand shake as she looks down to her left and blows her hair out of her face.
"Well if you need anything I'm always here to help, you should try out for track I'm sure your an excellent flyer with wings like those." Rainbow Dash encourages but all the same the shy young girl remains quite as a mouse. Beyond the awkward moment and small talk Rainbow Dash concludes the conversation.
"Well, I'll be off to the grey fields then before class starts your welcome to join me and my friends we're gunna race around the field."
Fluttershy remained quite.
"Well I guess I'm off you can always watch if that's more your thing." Rainbow Dash flew away to the other half of the cumulous region of school.
Preparing for the race, Rainbow Dash was sure to put in her fair share of trash talk when from the corner of her eye she noticed Fluttershy make her way to the back of the bleachers to watch the race. Now that Rainbow Dash had a fan out there she was pumped and ready to leave her opponent in the rain.
"Alright Fleetfoot, I hope you like my butt cause you're about to see a lot of it!" Rainbow Dash smirks.
"Dream on Rainbow Smash, try not to bail out on the cyclone trails like last time." Fleetfoot says wittily.
Then with the sound of a bell they were off, Rainbow Dash taking the lead in the rain storm with Fleetfoot not far behind, then a sharp turn for the hail clouds left Rainbow Dash just inches behind Fleetfoot racing neck and neck all the way to the lightning pass. With a close encounter to a strike Fleetfoot was slowed down letting Rainbow Dash take the lead. Then knowing what was up next Rainbow Dash chocked as she witnessed the power of the cyclone trails, stopping for a brief moment allowing Fleetfoot to leave her in the tail. After near misses of powerful winds Rainbow Dash and Fleetfoot were moments from the finish line with Rainbow Dash just seconds behind and then the bell ringed declaring a winner!
Knowing it was her fear that got in the way Rainbow Dash lost the race to her fellow classmate. Disappointed about the loss Rainbow Dash was still a good sport.
"Good race Fleet, I'll still beat you at time trials in class though." Fleetfoot and Rainbow Dash laughed off the comment and exchanged hand shakes parting ways with smiles.
"Wow.." said a small voice. Rainbow Dash looked to see Fluttershy standing at the side of the track in awe.
"Hey! I'm glad you made it did you like it?" asked Rainbow Dash eagerly. Fluttershy then took a moment to let out the excitement.
"That was incredible!" Rainbow Dash laughed at Fluttershys excitement.
"Thanks, it was pretty awesome, I'm like the awsomest girl in school if you didn't already guess that."
Fluttershy still in awe replied, "Awesome? That was.... that wasn't awesome that was the coolest! You were so cool!"
Rainbow Dash pondered the thought and said, "... cool? Yeah... I guess I was pretty cool." she smiled.
"Yeah like 20% cooler than anything I've ever seen before! Oh my goodness.... so much excitement, I need to breath!"
Rainbow Dash was silent for just a second when she looked Fluttershy in the eye, pondering her reaction, her voice, the way she felt towards Rainbow Dash's loss, knowing that this was a loss it wasn't even a win and Fluttershy thought that Rainbow Dash was still the best out there. It was in this moment when Rainbow Dash forgot life around her, she focused on that one moment not realizing that with just three words her life would change forever, and she began her new life as she whispered to herself;
"20% cooler...."
Underneath the moonlight Rainbow Dash makes a request to the Mare in the Moon
Mare in the Moon, I need your help. I don't know if you were watching because it was when the sun was raised but you see, I met someone today. Now I know it's just been one day but I feel like everything in my life has lead to this moment. I get this weird feeling around this special somepony, like my heart wants to stop beating but at the time wants to speed up. I don't know if you can hear me but, I need your help. I think my heart wants to kill me.
