Guardian Angel

It was an overcast day in Ponyville. What is very rare, because the city has a highly competent Weather Team. My friend Rainbow Dash manages the team with iron hooves and drowsiness of a grizzly bear hibernating. At least that's what they say, I personally think that Rainbow Dash does a good job even though she naps sometimes while working.

But I understand her, she trains so hard every day and every night to make her dream come true, and we (not just me, but Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity and Applejack too) are sure that one day she will be a Wonderbolt how Equestria has ever seen. She was always a very strong flyer since she was small.

I was never a great flyer, my irrational fear of falling took the best of me. I watched the other foals flying, but did not feel like joining them. I tried a few times, but I was too shy and nervous did not help. I was getting more and more alone.

Until I had no more any friends. The few that I had got away from me in shame, I think. No pegasus of my age wanted to be seen with a failed flying. Ditzy Do was even better than me.

My father has always been a very sociable pony, and always tried to make me sociable too. He did not let Mom give me lessons at home. Then he took me to the gate of the school that first day.

"Try to make friends, Fluttershy. It is not healthy for a filly of your age don’t have any friends." He kissed my forehead. "Now be a good girl and have a good day at school."

I took my first steps into the courtyard full of other children, but all I wanted was to dig a hole in the ground and hide. I hated being in that place, everyone played and laughed so loud. Many of them flew, showing a Wonderbolt trick that had seen or a trick he learned on vacation.

It was then that I spotted them, the two ponies made fun of me on the playground. They were coming straight at me and there was nothing I could do. I tried to fly away, but instead I fell right in front of them.

"Look, Hoops, is our old friend Klusttercry. What are you doing between flyers? Tired of mommy wings, baby?" The brown colt laughed derisively.

"Leave me .. alone .." My voice was so low that I could not hear.

Hoops hit his hoof in my eye. That really hurt too much. I cringed and started crying praying they would leave me alone. But no, they began to pluck some feathers from my wings. It was the most humiliating moment of my life. I was impotent feeling  they tear my feathers.

"You know, Klusttershy, we met a pony which blends with you, she can not fly without crashing into something. Maybe we present her to you. Rainbow Crash and you would be good friends, two losers."

With too much pain, I gathered my hooves and prayed to Celestia for that other filly was well. My whole body trembled, but I did not feel any more worth being torn. I dared to open one eye and saw Billy and Hoops lying a few feet from me. Almost upon me was a cyan filly in defensive pose.

"Leave her alone!"

The unknown filly shouted. Her voice was high-pitched and her mane caught my attention. It was rainbow. That should be the Rainbow Crash of whom they had spoken. I quietly thanked the kind princess because she was well.

"Piss off, Rainbow Crash. This is not your business. "Hoops threatened, getting into an offensive pose.

"I will not repeat, asshole, pull over a hoof on her and you will regret being born."

She seemed to be serious so they went away muttering. My savior turned to me. Her eyes were a very strong magenta and she smiled confidently.

"Sorry for these idiots. Name is Rainbow Dash, who are you? "She offered me a hoof to help raise me and I accepted immediately.

"I'm Fluttershy. Thank you for defending me from those bullies, Rainbow Dash. "

And so I made my first true friend, my best friend, a friend who was always there to defend me. Thanks to her I got my cutie mark a year later. She helped me with the flight, even though she was too impatient to teach me. She was different from other ponies in many ways.

She was not afraid to speak her mind, she was not afraid to show what he felt. With her I felt comfortable, I could talk about poetry and beautiful creatures on the ground. Even if she naps in the middle of our conversation.

She dreamed of be a Wonderbolt, and I could say that I knew all about them because she told me all about them. Her eyes shone with joy to see some poster advertising a show of them. I watched her practice every day while I was composing my poems about the ground.

I was the one that believed in her when she said that she did the Sonic Rainboom.

We shared our dreams and desires. I knew that one day she would achieve what she wanted. I believed in her. And she was always there for me. Always threatening any pony who tried to hurt me or make fun of me.

Our friendship always been pure and sincere. And always will be. Even now that she's a little different from the filly I met on my first day of school, I know that this filly is still inside her.

She tried to defend me from the dragon was sleeping in that cave near Ponyville. In her ways, but she tried. When I told her I was going to live in Ponyville, she promptly said he was going with me.

She gave me Angel Bunny as a gift on my 18th birthday. I called him Angel for a very special reason: he reminds me her, Rainbow Dash. Reminds me her impatient way, but reminds me of the protective side of her too. Many ponies say the name Angel dismissive of him. Even though he has gone to Bunnies Heaven, he will always remind me her. She, my first angel, my guardian angel.
