Chapter 6: Facing the Worst Together

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, squinting as sunlight filtered into the room. She opened her eyes wider, realizing she didn't have any windows in her house. How is there sunlight? she thought, puzzled. She looked to her side and saw Fluttershy still laying with her, sleeping peacefully.

Rainbow Dash glanced up and gasped, her stomach churning as she saw her friends all standing in front of her, her heart dropping.
Twilight must have cast a spell so they wouldn't fall.
Rarity closed the door, removing the sunlight from her eyes.
"Thanks,"
They still remained quiet, staring at Rainbow and Fluttershy intensely. She sat up, making sure not to wake up Fluttershy as she got out of bed. Their silence made the cyan pegasus wonder what they were thinking, taking a step forward with narrowed eyes.
"Well?" she snapped, her wings extending defensively. "Spit it out!"
"What do you mean, sugarcube?" Applejack asked, meeting her gaze. Rainbow Dash's mouth dropped open, her eyes wide.
"What do I mean? What are you guys thinking? Are you thinking about how disgusting I am? Huh?!" she roared. Pinkie pie spread out her legs as if she was about to pounce, her eyes wide in confusion.
"Disgusting? No way, Dashie!" the party pony exclaimed. Rarity nodded in agreement, trotting over to the group.
"How in Equestria would you imagine that, Rainbow?"

Rainbow flushed, poking a hoof into her cloud floor as they giggled and rushed up to her. They all hugged her with joyful sighs, Rainbow Dash feeling someone rub her back. An electric spark shot through her made her shiver in delight.
Fluttershy.
She turned around as her friends moved back, her eyes sparkling with love.
"Fluttershy," she breathed, pulling the yellow pegasus in for a hug. As they embraced, the group of friends all grinned in approval, nodding at Fluttershy as Rainbow Dash's back was turned.
"Rainbow," Fluttershy began. "would you like to come to my house today and lend a hoof with my woodland creatures?" It wasn't Rainbow's favorite thing to do but she was happy as long as she was with Fluttershy.
"Of course!'
"Great! Let's go."

***

Rainbow Dash rounded up the last sheep, gently pushing it into the pin and closing the wooden gate. She looked around for Fluttershy and saw that the yellow pegasus was still inside.
Hm, Rainbow Dash thought. I wonder what's taking her so long. Maybe I should check on her...
Making up her mind, Rainbow Dash flew to her cottage and pressed her ear against the door, listening. Silence.

The cyan pegasus opened the door slowly and stepped inside, starting to hear some noises coming from Fluttershy's bedroom. Rainbow Dash tilted her head in wonder then flew upstairs and up to her bed room door. She pressed her head against the door again, listening once more.
"Oof! Ugh, this stupid thing... ow!" Rainbow Dash gasped as she heard Fluttershy squeak in pain, bursting through the door.
"Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm hereeeee.... oh... uh."
Fluttershy's face turned a bright shade of red and hid behind a strand of her hair, Rainbow Dash hypnotized and also blushing.
"Uh..."
Fluttershy was wearing rainbow rocks that reached her elbows and ones that reached her knees on her hind legs, lacy at the top. Panties that were also rainbow were worn very low at her waist that were also lacy, Rainbow's cutie mark on the front. Her soft pink hair was thrown up in a ponytail held by a cyan bow, shining under the sunlight that filtered into the room.
"I-I-I'm so sorry, Rainbow Dash!" she stuttered, backing away.
"N-no, Fluttershy, it's ok!" Just..." Rainbow Dash paused. "why are you wearing this stuff?"

The yellow pegasus flapped her wings, not meeting Rainbow's gaze as she spoke.
"I didn't mean my a-actual animals when I said I needed h-help..."
Rainbow's wings were now completely up, her face almost as red as her mares. Then, is clicked in Rainbow's head. She grinned and crept closer to Fluttershy, making her blush once more.
"So Flutters, what did you have in mind?"
"I-I uh, w-w-wanted t-to, um..."
"Were you thinking naughty thoughts my dear?"
"N-no!"

Rainbow Dash giggled as Fluttershy began to deny what she had planned, standing up straight.
"Oh well," Rainbow Dash said, drooping her ears as she headed for the door.
"Wait..!"
Rainbow had been waiting for that.
"Yes?"
"I... I wanted to s-seduce y-y-you..." she admitted, her face crimson. Rainbow Dash grinned slyly, trotting over to her bed and sat down, eyeing Fluttershy.
"Well, show me what you really want to do to me, Flutterbabe."

Fluttershy took a deep breath and slowly walked up to Rainbow Dash, her eyes heavy with lust. Rainbow got a spark of excitement, for she'd never seen Fluttershy like this before. As Fluttershy got closer, the cyan pegasus was amazed how she didn't flush or become scared. Instead, she rested her two hooves heavily on Rainbow Dash's chest and leaned closer. She nibbled at Rainbow's neck, making her shiver in delight as Fluttershy pushed her onto the bed.

"Ready, Dashie?"
"Always."
Fluttershy sat between Rainbow Dash's legs, moving her hips in small circles. Rainbow sucked in a sharp breath and clenched her teeth together with furrowed eyebrows.
"Don't worry," she whispered. "I'm your mare. Soarin' isn't here,"
Rainbow Dash nodded in appreciation, closing her eyes.
"Let's do it together,"
***

Rainbow Dash woke up from her nap after the incident with Fluttershy, sitting up in bed. She looked around for Fluttershy and got out of bed, her eyebrows furrowed. Not seeing her mare, Rainbow headed downstairs to hear a sweet melody whisper into her ears. With a small smile, the cyan pegasus glided into the kitchen, the music becoming louder. Fluttershy hummed a toon as she danced behind the shiny counter, bobbing her head.
"Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash called out, trotting lively over to the counter. The yellow pegasus stopped suddenly and turned to face Rainbow Dash, flushing.
"Oh, I didn't know you were up Rainbow!" she squeaked. Rainbow Dash laughed as she flew over the counter and stood by Fluttershy, wrapping a hoof around her shoulder.
"You sounded amazing!"
"Th-thanks,"

Fluttershy gazed at Rainbow Dash, tilting her head as the pegasus stopped talking and looked away, removing her hoof.
"Rainbow, you seem distant," Fluttershy whispered. "what's bothering you?" Rainbow Dash seemed to hesitate, her eyes clouded and confused.
"My mom used to do that a lot,"
"Oh,"
The cyan pegasus walked slowly around the counter and stopped, suppressing a heavy sigh as her ears flattened.
"I never get to see her anymore."

Fluttershy tilted her head slightly.
"Then why don't you go see her anymore?"
"She never kept in touch with me when I was in Ponyville."
Rainbow Dash didn't meet Fluttershy's eyes once more as the yellow walked around the counter, stopping beside Rainbow Dash.
"Where you two close?"
"Not really," Rainbow muttered. "But it still would've been nice of her to talk to me"

When Fluttershy nodded slowly and proceeded back to the counter, Rainbow Dash followed close behind.
"Need some help with... whatever your doing?"
"I was actually cooking breakfast but, can you gather some spinach from my garden?"
"Sure," she sighed, heading to the back door. When Rainbow Dash went outside she slowly walked to the garden. She gathered the spinach carefully and her thoughts drifted towards her mother.
Who cares anymore? Rainbow Dash fumed. She kicked a rock, sending it down the yard. I don't need my mom anyways! Rainbow Dash stomped back towards the house and swung open the door, approaching Fluttershy.
"Here's the stupid spinach!" she snapped, dropping it on the counter. Fluttershy flinched away from the raging pegasus, her ears flattening.
"R-Rainbow Dash, what's wrong?"
Rainbow Dash sighed, starting at the floor.
"Nothing. It's not important."

Fluttershy trotted over to the cyan pegasus, stretching her wing over Rainbow Dash in a comforting manner.
"Rainbow Dash," she began sternly. "anything that bothers you is important to me." Rainbow Dash looked up at Fluttershy, whispering, "You really think so?" Fluttershy nodded vigorously.
"Well, I was angry because my mother never kept in contact with me. I said I didn't need her, but then I started realizing how much I actually missed her," Rainbow whispered, her voice hoarse.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash."

Fluttershy hugged the cyan pegasus tightly, closing her eyes.
"You scare me sometimes." Rainbow Dash giggled, pressing a hoof to cover her mouth. Fluttershy joined in, the room filled with laughter. As they embraced, a realization came over Rainbow Dash.
"I never did give my parents my address," she began, only to be cut off by Fluttershy's laughter. She joined in, moving away from the hug.
"Well," Fluttershy began with a happy hum. "let's look for their address at the train station."

***

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy waited in line at the train station, Rainbow Dash continuously shuffling a wing or shifting from hoof to hoof.
"Do you have something in your fur, Rainbow?" Fluttershy teased. The cyan pegasus rolled her eyes with a dramatic groan.
"I'm just so excited! I can't wait to finally talk to my parents after so long!"
They both giggled, moving up in the line.
"Next!"

Rainbow Dash squealed in excitement, rushing over to the stallion with wide eyes. He gazed at her with a blank expression, waiting for her to talk.
"Uh, I need you to look for somepony in Cloudsdale for me!"
"Address?"
As Rainbow Dash gave the stallion the address of her parents, Fluttershy smiled sweetly at her mare. The stallion turned from the book he was reading and faced Rainbow Dash.

"It says the house was demolished a year ago. Sorry kid, says here they vanished. If it were my guess, I'd say they died."
Rainbow Dash felt a ton of bricks slam into her chest, her breath catching. Dead...? She backed away from the counter, her eyes tearing up.
"No! T-they can't be dead," she sniffed, turning away and dashing off.
"Rainbow!" Fluttershy called out, her heart aching. She turned to the stallion, her eyes narrowed.
"How dare you tell her that! If you don't know what happened, don't say it!"

Fluttershy ran after the cyan pegasus, galloping as fast she could around Ponyville to find her. Her heart sank after a dreadfully long time of searching, only to no avail to find Rainbow Dash.
Oh Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy thought while holding back a sob. Please wait for me! They can't be dead. Can they?
