Author's Note
This is my very first story! Thank you for reading, criticism is welcomed as long as it isn't meant for hate just for the constructive criticism type. Editory suggestions are also welcome as well! There will also be more FlutterDash moments later on in the story, also other shippings as well. I'm having the story start off with just explaining the setting at the character physically but we'll identify her as she and her until she comes out with her name herself. Enjoy!
1. The Dream Of Her Past.
She cried.
Leaning against the her locker sitting down hugging her knees in the girls locker room. Even though she wasn't participating she still wore the school P.E. sweat pants. Along with the sweater she always wears, it usually drags down her grade and makes it impossibly hot for her and sweats up her beautiful light pink hair... but she didn't care. Right now she had to face the facts... well she was facing the facts. The fact that the truth hurt. Not knowing what to do, giving into her emotions thinking nobody would care if she were dead. Nobody wanting her around, and if they did it was just to isolate and shame her.
She cried.
Truth be told she sometimes understood why. Ever since she came out, people kept their distance. The teachers even put on fake masks. That's what she gets for telling the truth. Her parents haven't found out yet... it'll have to stay that way. Everyone wants to be away from her now. She also began to feel the same way, looking up from crying curled up she was proven correct. The girls Physical Education instructor hadn't even noticed she wasn't outside getting active and being the best that she can be. Nobody stopped to think about her to then come back and check. Nobody... at all. " I-I wish I could just....j-just." Unable to finish her sentence she broke into a sob. Lost in thought of all the horrible things in her life her head grew fuzzy, her breathing pace went faster and faster, her heartbeat sped up. She knew... it was hitting her again, she was having another panic attack. She has been having them a lot lately. The fear of her dying never subsides no matter how many times she has one though. She tried to calm down before hyperventilating which she at least managed to stall it. Tears flowing as if her eyes were the human embodiment of Niagra Falls. The feeling of her not being inside of her body was soon to come and it scared the timid girl. Which was not helping her case of needing to calm down at all.
--------------------
Everything was horrible. She felt like she couldn't hold it in anymore she couldn't do it. She couldn't handle all the thoughts of what would happen if this were to continue. Those thoughts made it even worse, on the outside she was so shaken but it was even worse on the inside. All of a sudden she had heard a strained voice. 'Was someone... singing?' She managed to think and ask herself. Then she noticed she was slowly calming down due to the singing. The tears stopped flowing eventually and her heartbeat calmed. She took this opportunity to close her eyes, take deep breaths, relax and sway her head to the novice singer. The voice was strained and the singer would mess up a lot, that made her giggle each time she did. Not out of cruelty it was just cute to her. The unknown was just singing random things no song in mind. After a while all that was left of what could have been a panic attack was just wiped off tears on her sleeves and the now fading dread. She had decided once she gets enough energy she would go and see who this person is. So she continued to rest and sway to the strained and novice singing voice that sounded like church choir to her.
----------------
As she had found the will and strength to get up she slowly made her way to the girls bathroom using some support by leaning on the lockers every now and then. Every step she took her courage was chipping away slowly. She couldn't stop though. As soon as her hand was on the door to push it open she thought of hiding away. She had come to far to quit now... and nobody was going to stop her now!
Before she lost all her courage again she pushed the door open looking at the rainbow haired girl known as the infamous Rainbow Dash. She noticed she wasn't all that curvy she had scratches on her face, tears still rolling down her face her P.E. uniform a mess, and yet... she still managed to pull off a rough young beauty.
Before Rainbow could scream her down she had already hid herself in her sweater... that was when Rainbow noticed she was that girl who's always picked on because she's gay. Rainbow somehow felt... like letting them treat her that way hurt herself and made her feel horrible inside. Although she wondered why she was here. " Why are you here? You here to make fun of me because I'm not feminine enough? Or is it because I sound like a boy sometimes? Want to make fun of my fail attempts of singing to make yourself feel better!?" With that... Rainbow had now noticed the girl was practically shaking in her skin. Rainbow was wrong but she sure as hell knew she wasn't going to admit it. So instead tried to make her feel better to bypass it.
"Hey um.... you might know this but I'm uh Rainbow Dash. I'm gonna be a pilot! So uh.... what do you like to do?" Saying in a kind manner secretly cursing herself on the inside but she couldn't bring herself to hurt this girl.
Looking at Rainbow she had come up with her answer. She can tell by looking her in the eyes when she equipped the guts to, that this girl wasn't going to hurt her... she was also in pain too. She had said it herself, and so she had a face of confidence and determination proclaiming something that brought joyful shock to the one who heard it and a blush to the one who said it. "My name... is Fluttershy... and I-I like your voice."
------------------------
BANG!!!!
The sound of Pinkies pocket party cannon shocked Fluttershy out of her sleep with an audible" Eep!" Barely catching her balance.
"Thank you Pinkie!" A voice only recognizable as Twilight Sparkle rang out. Fluttershy still able to hear with the ring in her ears. "Fluttershy this isn't like you! You'd never fall asleep in class all the way until the 10 minute break!" If this wasn't Twilights tone of voice when angry than she must be very scary when mad, because the way she said this made Fluttershy want to hide herself in her sweater.
"Well I uh... I-I, I was jus-" Before coming up with an excuse she was cut off by Pinkie Pie.
Wearing matching clothes with Twilight consisting of dressing in jeans and a shirt with the word Friendship on it." Who cares about that!? Why were you crying in your sleep?"

2 The School Haze.
It's been 2 days since the dream incident.
"Pinkie! No!" Fluttershy just somehow managed to stammer. Pinkie not holding back at all. Fluttershy could feel Pinkies fingers inside of her. Tickling her ruthlessly. Pinkie had won the tickle fight. Fluttershy unable to stop laughing.
"Pinkie promise you wont ever challenge me to a tickling contest again!" Eagerly saying that with some look in her eye..... Pinkie was up to something. Fluttershy didn't know what it was at all. Although.... she still agreed. "Also don't worry about doing the homework Fluttershy, I made sure the teacher and I had.... an exchange in sweets." Deviously speaking Pinkie Pie had officially creeped Fluttershy out. Sadly.... they're used to it.
"Oh no.... don't tell me you've used the candies!" Fluttershy's feeling pretty bad for the teacher. It's her fault for complaining infront of Pinkie Pie about her grades in that class. The teacher had never done anything wrong, it was his job. A frown started to form on Fluttershys face.... she's feeling horrible.
Pinkie getting a clue, decides to lighten the mood within their empty 6 bed dorm. Seeing that the other 3 girls are gone. It's her job to cheer up Fluttershy! "Hey! I didn't use the candy on him! Don't be down silly!"
"Oh... I guess that's okay. Then how did you use sweets and get him to change our grades?" Fluttershy took a deep breath loosing the guilt. It was nice to know that Pinkie could stop herself from doing bad things sometimes.
"Oh easy! I used Cupcakes!" Pinkie seeming overjoyed with this.
With that Fluttershy passed out.
"What? I didn't put glass, lead, or any powerful drug in it like the last times! Or.... maybe she's passed out from happiness! I knew Shaving cream for the frosting would make her laugh to near death! Pinkie..... you are too good!"
"Why thank you Pinkie I know! He should have eaten the cupcake by now." Pinkie saying that looking at her watch that isn't there. Stating the exact time and saying. " 3...2....1." With the pause after one you could hear the ambulance sirens blaring towards the school. "Maybe I should wake Fluttershy up for this! I wonder what she's dreaming about!"
-------------
"Rare! For the last time! Twilight's goin' to see her parents! Not ah celebrity." AppleJacks seriously trying to persuade Rarity into letting Twilight dress casually to visit her parents for the next week and a half. Twilight, had told them that it would be nice if Rarity made something for her to wear. Although to AppleJack this... large dress with some fancy gems and such. Was too much!
"I beg to differ! This is her family she should be dressed to impress to show them how wonderful her wardrobe has been since she's left!" Rarity noticing she made a valid point by the look on AppleJacks face allowed her to have a smug expression.
"Yeah ah now that! Now Rare think for a minute... does it have to be that fancy shmancy?"
"Well..... no... bu-"
"There yah have it! Tone that dress there down! Cya later." AppleJack seizing victory walked out of Rarity's dress store. Heading to the library to check on Twilight, leaving a rather shocked Rarity.
-------------
Fluttershy's finally waking up from a dream about clowns bears and zombies. She was terrified and waking up to a smiling Pinkie Pie in your face didn't help at all.
"Dont worry! The clowns can't get you here!" Pinkie casually speaking knowing exactly what Fluttershy was dreaming about. "Don't ask how I know." Pinkie was officially becoming worse than the dream.
"Are you crazy!? If your going to kill me please tell me now!" Fluttershy now regrets saying that..... the look Pinkie now gives her, the serious soul sucking stare. They sat for a minute.... Fluttershy too afraid to even hide in her hair in fear of ticking Pinkie off more than she probably had.
"Oh, I don't have plans to kill you! Why would I do that? Although.... why were you crying that one day?" Pinkie's intent on finding out this time. Fluttershy knew she couldn't stop her now.
So... they made a Pinkie Promise. Fluttershy started to tell the story, not telling the exact truth... leaving out why they all isolated her and Rainbow Dash. Instead she told her it was because she dressed weird compared to the other girls and it was some bird that managed to get in the school building.
Pinkie surprisingly bought it and walked off satisfied. Making Fluttershy feel bad about lieng to her friend.... but... she was used to it.
-------------
"Two days ago Fluttershy was crying in her sleep..." she had bugged the room and heard the whole thing. What she just told Pinkie Pie doesn't add up with what she told her about her life when they first met. "Maybe she didn't feel comfortable telling me when we first met." Twilight was whispering to herself not noticing AppleJack walking up.
"Howdy Twilight! How ya doin?" AppleJack still cheeky with her victory against Rarity.
"Splendid, whats got you all happy? You get a call from the farm?" Twilights just about ready to spout all her unnecessary theories. AppleJack noticing took action fast.
"Ah just beat Rarity in a debate over what yer wearin'." AppleJack was feeling pretty proud. She usually always looses to Rarity in debates. Sometimes she swears they're like a married couple. Which in fact they're not a couple at all. She never noticed she had feelings for girls until she met Rarity but... she liked to keep that to herself.
"Hey AppleJack have you two ever thought about asking me first? I mean I told her making a dress for me would be nice and all but you two really should have asked me first if I liked the dress or not before taking it in your own hands. Why didn't you tell me?" Twilights feeling some rage bubble up.... and she didn't stop it.
"Now Twilight listen here. Your right we shoulda asked you first before taking it in our own hands but you don't have to take it out on us that way!" AppleJacks attempting to reason with Twilight now. She knew this wasn't the usual her even if she did deserve some of it.
"Yeah you really should've thought about me at the time. Did I not matter to you? Wow it feels really good to know your friends don't care for your opinion or maybe not even you at all! Thats just so selfish of you two. I can't believe you just forgot all about what I might think about this and took my life into your own hands! Gods, my dog Spike is more considerate than you!" Twilight was seething with anger, jealousy, and worst of all regret. She was angry with AppleJack, jealous of Pinkie, and she knew she would regret this later on. Making things even more frustrating, finding out that your opinion doesn't matter at all and when you stand up for yourself you feel like your going to regret it made things just frustrating. It was all because of that one lie that Fluttershy had told her which led to her anger. "If I don't matter to you then why do you even consider me your friend?!"
"Twilight..." AppleJacks desperately trying to get Twilight to look her in the eyes, but is unable to successfully pull through. AppleJack knew how to read inbetween the lines and this meant the end of their friendship.
"Save it!" Her eyes starting to tear up, Twilight put her hands up to AppleJack with as much attitude and stopping power as her emotionally lethal statement. Looking down at the ground she has to do it since she's already at the point of no return. "Get out..."
"Twilight, please!"
"Get....out. Don't expect to see me at the dorms.... I'm going to see my parents tonight." Twilights now looking down at her shoes like never before. Tears falling and body shaking. "Wait.... I'm sorry! I didn't mean it and I'm sorry... please... come back. Don't leave... what have I done?" Twilight putting one hand over her mouth as the sobs came in. She fell down curled up yet still balancing upon her two feet. "I'm so so sorry! Just please come back!"
But the teary eyed AppleJack was already gone.
Secrets don't make friends.
It's been three days since the incident with Twilight.
"Why that Twilight! When I find her I'll, oh I'll!" Rarity's really mad about what had happened a few days ago.
"What? Throw a party showing how happy we are she came back?" Pinkie still hasn't gotten a clue that Twilight probably wont be coming back to the highschool. That brought a frown to everyones faces. Most kids at the school would go out somewhere for the weekend. Instead Rarity, Pinkie, AppleJack, and Fluttershy sat in their dorm wondering what went wrong.
"Fluttershy, dear! I think we ran out of food. Be a dear and get some, will you?" Rarity was practically batting her eyelashes for this request. Fluttershy had nothing better to do so she shrugged, grabbed her wallet, and left.
Walking around the school building was no problem seeing that everyone was gone. She just simply walked outside the school grounds into the wide open, where there's actual people. "Don't worry.... they're not looking at you. They don't know you. Just keep walking a couple blocks to the mall!"
------------
It took a while but she finally made it to the supermarket. She decides to melt into the crowd, just be a person that one would forget if they were gazed upon. She went along her business and bought, what was asked for by Rarity. Tubs of ice cream and liquor to drink her sorrows away. She doesn't know how or why she would bring liquor into the school. It just felt wrong, so instead she bought Juice. It seems like a good idea, and everything was going good. She purchased them successfully and put them in her canvas bag.
She walked down the street she noticed it was getting dark pretty fast. She had to get to the school quickly. The alleys seemed pretty scary right now. Who knows what could happen in there. "Oh, there could be mean people in the-." She was suddenly cut short by beat up thugs running out the alley. Something or someone had done that. She froze as the footsteps came closer and closer.
-----------
"No! You must not do thi-" Rarity's unable to finish her statement due to her laughter.
"Don't let her go Pinkie!" AppleJack was also laughing, seeming amused with Pinkie holding Rarity down as she tickled her. "If this here lucky feather don't work well shucks, nothin' can! Now smile for me Rare!" AppleJack continued to tickle her neck with the feather until Rarity snorted. Which after a few seconds of silence made everyone laugh.
"Wow, this makes me want to throw another party!" Pinkie threw Rarity to the side jumping up.
"No! Pinkie, you remember what happened the last time. Half the school was on fire, teachers and students were wasted most of the school rooms were being used for multiple private parties, people were openly doing illegal substances, kids jumping off the school building into a truck carrying water, girls and guys wearing absolutely nothing, and you screaming at the police and news copters unspeakable language while holding two bottles of what was labeled as the good sh-." Rarity was stunned by Pinkies facial expression making her stop.
Pinkie had been staring at her is if waiting for the bad news of her complaints. "So... is that a yes to the party or a no?"
Both AppleJack and Rarity sighed as they sat down shaking their heads.
"Sooo that's a yes right?"
----------
"I can't believe that I said all that. You'll forgive me right Spike?" Twilight sat in her room at her parents place. "I can't believe I got so angry because of one lie Fluttershy told me... sometimes I think it was because she told me about her past when we first met and she didn't feel comfortable telling the truth... or she just trusts Pinkie with it more... or... she may be lying to us both. If she cried in her sleep over what happened in her past, how could she have easily told me about it a year ago, and easily tell Pinkie the real story so easily now? Something's up... right Spike?" Twilights dog Spike had already fallen asleep. "So much for being considerate, you sleepy numbskull." Twilight smiled as she patted Spikes head directing her attention to his tail. Under his tail lay last years school yearbook.
Looking through it Fluttershy seemed lonely in it. She looked like something was missing. "Weird..." Twilight started to pace around her room. Not even noticing she had opened her door and walked out the room staring at the book. Then turning around walking back in the room and closing the door. She was so wrapped up in the book. She tripped over her own foot and landed face first in a bowl of nachos she placed on her desk. She was happy she didn't slam her head into the desk instead. Her face still hurt though so she decided to lay down on the ground.
Spike her faithful dog woke up and started to lick the nacho cheese off her face. The baby pit bull seemed to have all the energy in the world since it just wouldn't stop.
"Just great... just what I needed. Aw cmon! What the heck this is cute why resist!" Twilight laughed as her little Spike kept on licking the nachos off her face, seeing that it's pretty ticklish. "Oh wait... Now I have to shower again!"
-------------
Fluttershy had never experienced such a heavy state of shock. She couldn't believe who she was facing... she had to run. Get away as soon as possible, this... was no good encounter at all. Fear and panic surged throughout Fluttershy, she had to escape this person. Her legs wouldn't work. Her body was frozen, unable to run like she wanted too. Was this it for her? How could it happen like this? Why her of all people?
So many questions went through her mind until the person standing before her spoke. "Hey lady! Didn't expect to see you around these parts!"
--------------
Twilight had just gotten out the shower having a towel wrapped around her. She found herself standing in what looked like lemonade in the bathroom with Spike right by it. "Oh... this is going to be a long night."
Secrets don't make friends.
5 Heart to Heart, Body to Body.
"Mom! I'm home... and you're not... again." Rainbow Dash had arrived home not too far from the highschool with Fluttershy. She really didn't feel like leaving Fluttershy in that mess, not when she had a chance at redemption. She had to make this perfect. "Hey Fluttershy, you can hit the shower if you like. I'll find something to wear."
"Thank you but are you sure it'll you know... fit me?" She squeaked hoping to not upset Rainbow with her comment but she was already gone searching for clothes. Fluttershy calming down walked to where Rainbow had instructed, going past the kitchen into the living room, up the stairs and to the bathroom on the left down the hall. She left the door unlocked for Rainbow to drop off the clothes. Trusting she wouldn't look while doing her task Fluttershy turned on the water and waited for it to get warm enough for entry. She undressed and got into the shower closing the shower curtain she took a look at what's obviously Rainbows body wash and shampoo. "I'm sure she wont mind... I hope."
As she reached for it she stopped herself and put her hand to her chest and leaned against the wall as the water continued to run. Her wet heavy hair stuck to the wall in the shower just stairing at the ceiling, the shower's noise reminding her of the raindrops on that fateful day.
-----------Flashback to the day Rainbow moved. ----------
Fluttershy had just ordered an ice cream cone that she and Rainbow loved to share. The owner of the shop knew the pair from their frequent visits. So he gave a small discount, and bid her a farewell.
Fluttershy waved goodbye and joyfully ran down the street, to the park bench where she and Rainbow usually met for a date. The date was scheduled last minute by Rainbow saying she had something urgent to say. Rainbow was late like she usually was for all dates. So Fluttershy just sat trying to keep the ice cream from melting the best she could. Refusing to eat it without Rainbow. So she sat there and waited.
________-----________
Fluttershy had finished washing her body off and went to the shampoo. As she did and started to wash her hair more memories flooded back.
-----More Flashbacks yyaaayy! -----
Fluttershy had sat there until the ice cream was melting in her hands and her head hung. Her mother had come around to pick her up with a sigh of relief having found her child.
"M-Mom... where's Rainbow?" Fluttershy was on the brink of tears. Her mother still didn't know about her sexuality, nor did she know what Rainbow truthfully was to her. She also didn't expect her to know where she was.
"Honey... she's gone. Rainbow Dash moved today... I'm sorry honey."
When she had said that Fluttershy dropped the ice cream and ran the best she could to Rainbows house. By the time she arrived her body was aching, her hair was soaked from the downpour of rain that started moments ago, and her heart was split in two. It was true... Rainbow Dash had moved. The wails and crys Fluttershy expelled told her nearby mother exactly where she was.
________-----________
Fluttershy had finished showering and drying herself off. To her suprise Rainbow had found bunny pajamas for her to wear. She never expected Rainbow to have those but she also didn't mind and put them on. It wasn't too tight or uncomfortable so she left it at that and worked her way around the house to the living room where Dash was watching a movie on the couch. Fluttershy just sat down next to her niether of them questioning the pajamas, nor talking just watching the action movie.
"Sooo... uh. Make any friends?" Rainbow tried to break the ice and not step on any land mines.
"Yeah the one who threw that party was one of them. They're good girls and yeah..." Fluttershy was twirling her thumbs by now and taking quick glances at Rainbow.
"So uh... how are your parents doing?" Conversation was a must if Rainbow wanted Fluttershy back.
"Good... turns out they're okay with my sexuality... um hows your mom?" Fluttershy was slowly getting into the conversation until she hit a landmine.
"She's out drinking again. Like every night. She works and drinks everyday. No time for me at all, I mean... is that bottle more important to her than I am?!" Rainbow was angry and sorrowful. Her face couldn't hide that emotion. Right now she's supposed to be awesome for Fluttershy not like this.
What happened next suprised both of them as Fluttershy leaned over and hugged Rainbow. "Well... if you don't mind. I could spend time with you." Just staring up at her with those kind eyes.
Rainbow felt even worse. She left this girl without telling her. Now she's caring for her like she used too. It sucked, but Rainbow did except the hug and even returned the embrace continuing to watch the movie.

Pinkie was on the roof of the school holding a handgun shooting the bottles of beer on a kids head and in his hands with a blindfold. Being super drunk she wobbled and ended up shooting the kid in the leg as the crowd cheered her on. Everyone stopped chanting as the teenager dropped and Pinkie took her blindfold off. The teen boy who was shot look at his leg and screamed. "Hell yeah!" Making the crowd go wild in cheers and party.
A police chopper flew up to the roof and announced their arrest warrant towards Pinkie Pie. "You'll never catch me dead or alive!" She screamed finishing her bottle and tossing it to the side as she ran to the back of the school and jumped off the roof. Landing on top of a Hummer as it drove off down the street. With the police in pursuit as she shot at them with the handgun she wielded. The party slowly dying down as serious fire fighters actually put the fires out.
________-----________
Fluttershy was still thinking about the nice embrace they shared as they walked to Rainbows room to go to sleep. She did like the fact that they were holding hands as they did but it still felt wrong to her.
As Rainbow opened the door to her room she sat down on her bed yawning as she did. "It's nice to have you back in my life." She looked Fluttershy in the eyes as she said that, still tired but it was genuine. She put her hand on Fluttershy's as they were both next to each other on the bed.
Fluttershy stared straight into Rainbows eyes thinking about how long she waited for this moment but she also didn't think it was right. She had a few seconds to decide what to do seeing that Rainbow was leaning in.
Fluttershy put a hand on her chest in a slightly open fist fashion as their nose's made contact. A small little tear drop formed on the end of her eyes but didn't drop as she closed her eyes slightly tilting her head back as Rainbow kissed her lightly and swiftly. Fluttershy was denying it each time Rainbow Dash kissed her until the kiss held, Fluttershy finally gave into her heart and kissed back. They both tipped over and layed on the bed continually kissing.
________-----________
The party had ended most everyone had dropped and fallen asleep where they stood. Rarity took that opportunity to search for AppleJack going to the roof. She saw the boy with the bullet in his leg. She ran up grabbed him and dangled him over the edge of the school roof. "Tell me! Where is AppleJack?!"
The boy only managed to make out moans and groans.
"Oh... a shame." Rarity sighed as she let go of the boy. Only noticing she dropped him off the roof after he hit the ground. "Ooooooohh..."
Secrets don't make friends.
They walked to the hospital.
Fluttershy woke up expecting to see Rainbow by her side. Instead she saw a stressed out Rainbow Dash pacing back and forth with a phone to her ear. That's how they ended up walking to the hospital. She never questioned Rainbow, she never did when she was this stressed.
"Rainbow...." Fluttershy reached over and held her tense hand. As soon as she did she felt a tight squeeze given to her from Rainbow. It hurt to be honest but she could handle it if it's for Rainbow. She leaned over and brushed her side against hers. Rainbow eventually loosened her grip, giving a sign of recognizing her affection.
Last night had confirmed their current relationship as complicated. They both had re-ignited the suppressed romance they had for one another but didn't know who it could just start up again just like that. Though they still proceed in public display of affection. Even now when walking towards the hospital, earning themselves some looks of all different kinds.
"Look... this is pretty personal so if you don't want to come you don't have to. Fluttershy... just go home." Rainbow Dash stopped walking and had the audacity to look Fluttershy in the eyes and state such a thing and still hold her hand.
Fluttershy had to maintain her composure even if it hurt. She knew something must be getting to Rainbow, that's why she had to stay and show support. "No..." She continued to hold her hand and stared her in the eyes.
Rainbow just sighed and continued walking towards the hospital slightly giving Fluttershy the cold shoulder. Leaving the pained Fluttershy in her wake.

"So that's the story about how our school was destroyed and wont be open for a few weeks, also the story on why we all need to stay here!" Twilight explained to her father almost pleading. She did make a few edits as to what really happened and who hosted the party. They managed to find each other after that whole mess and head over to Twilight's home.
Twilight's dad simply shrugged and walked off to the kitchen as the girls ran up to Twilight's room and locked the door.
"Now girls... I know I said somethings but I do have a reason behind it. Though I have to say I'm sorry! Friends?" Twilight wasn't sure if they'd forgive her. She wasn't sure if telling what she'd learned about Fluttershy was a good idea either. She could possibly be accusing poor Fluttershy even if she did have research behind it. She could also form a rift between all of her friends but she had to inform them.
"Now ah know ya did say somethings outta line but if ya got a reason for it and yer sorry well.... ah forgive ya." AppleJack sat there speaking for the others in that statement. They all thought the same thing and looked at Twilight expectantly. If something stressed Twilight out like that then it must be something worth listening to.
"Well... why don't we all start by telling our own versions on how we met Fluttershy..."
________-----________
Laying on a hospital bed having an occasional coughing fit sucked. "Hey doctor! Lemme out, I'm alright it's like any other time right?"
Instead of the doctor Nurse Redheart walked in with a clipboard and a stern face... but with sympathetic eyes. "Ms. Dash... this isn't... this isn't like any other time. You're lucky..... your still alive. Your daughter's coming by to check on you." Nurse Redheart turned to leave the door at that but stopped. "Also have you no shame? Don't you have a daughter to take care of? You've moved a total of two times to try and avoid this but you still do it. You think getting in the wrong crowd each night and ending up in the hospital occasionally for over dosing is a good way to raise your child... aren't you ashamed of your daughter having to see you like this?" She turned and faced her. "Sierra she's sick... and tired of this. I'm sick and tired of it. Since highschool you've changed, and as of now I'm ashamed to have called you my friend." Redheart finally left the room leaving Sierra Dash in a mix of emotions.
"She's right... but I can't stop it no matter how hard I try. That's why I came back... to find the only person who could help me... if she'll forgive me." She broke into another coughing fit before she looked to the door again and saw a not-so-happy daughter of hers along with a girl hiding behind her. "So who's the lucky girl Rainbow?" She knew she had to lighten the mood somehow or else it would all go downhill from there. Rainbow grew impatient with her each visit. She was sure this was the last straw.
Rainbow took a step to the side showing her mother who the girl was not giving a heads up to Fluttershy who now looked for someplace to hide. Giving up she stood still and looked at the ground waving at Rainbow's mother.
"Hello.... m-my names, Fluttershy." She said almost in a whisper. Rainbow Dash who's standing right next to her couldn't even hear a word.
"Fluttershy huh?" Both girls were shocked by the fact that she was able to hear a word. "I only know one person with that level of decibels and your definentaly not her. Tell me... does your mother go by the name of Willow?"

"So by all of our information and Pinkie's story. Thankfully you were there to help her Pinkie!" Twilight looked over at Pinkie sitting in a pile of candy they bribed her to spill information with. She didn't even Pinkie Promise for that information but still needed an extra push to spill the beans. "Now we know that she's been telling us seperate stories about her past. Now Pinkie hears something about this Rainbow Dash character who's supposed to play a large part in her life. Too bad Pinkie left before she heard anything else... I'm also worried about this... product."
"Oh my... I never though Fluttershy could do such devious things! So evil... so... sadistic." Spike sat on Rarity's lap as she finished that sentence and she didn't look to pleased. "How dare you! Get up this instant and beg at my feet for forgiveness! This outfit took far too long to complete."
"Sadistic huh? Ya don't say." AppleJack commented.
As they argued over being a sadist or a masochist, Pinkie looked over at Twilight who looked as if she wanted to jump out a window and just smiled at her. By the looks of it that smile helped her mood. That's when she had the idea.
________-----________
So that's when I finally got Willow to start pranking with me. It was also the first time we've ever gotten Redheart's blood to boil!" Ms. Dash had no problem at all with telling the two teenagers how their parents hung out as well. "That was the last time we pranked someone together though." She said on a slightly regretful tone.
Fluttershy hadn't noticed Rainbow's face when she had said that and went over the line. "Why'd you stop? You seemed like the best of friends!"
The room became silent with an uncomfortable tension that Fluttershy was unable to read.
"Yeah mom.... why don't you tell her. Why don't you tell her why you're also in the hospital... why don't you also tell her why we truthfully moved?!" Rainbow Dash rose from her seat. Her anger coming out in waves.
"W-What?" Fluttershy also got up from her seat and backed away from the two. She felt guilty since her question had started it. She was also afraid. It was like watching two bombs clash. It just doesn't work out for bystanders.
"Fine... you want to know? I'll tell you. The reason why we stopped pranking together and stopped hanging in general was because I got caught up in drugs. Ever since I met that girl... you could've named any drug in the book and I probably did it. That's why I'm occasionally in this hospital. We moved so I could get away from it all... but it got worse so we moved back. There's your story... happy?" Ms. Dash looked at both girls. "To be honest right now... If I could muster up the courage. I'd try to tell Willow how sorry I am... because I really am sorry.i apologize to you as well Rainbow... it was my decisions that messed up your life. Wow... I can't believe I'm actually saying sorry. Willow would kill for a moment like that."
"Yes... I would." Willow walked into the room looking at Rainbow. "Thank you for watching over my daughter last night but you could've called. I was worried sick when I heard about that party. Ms. Redheart called. You've grow-."
"W-Willow? Is that you?" Sierra asked right before she broke into another coughing fit.
"Girls... go wait in the car outside please. It's in the hospital parking lot. Fluttershy you know what it looks like." Willow wasn't really suggestion right now. It was more of an order this time.
Fluttershy didn't want to disobey and Rainbow Dash couldn't stand seeing her mother like this. Both girls exited the room.
"Promising pair aren't they? We can already tell they're dating." Willow came to Sierra's aid helping her as she finished coughing. "They'll stay at my place until your better Sierra. Don't worry I'll raise her as my own... until your completely better." She emphasized on the last word giving her a look.
"I-I'll try.... Thank you.... thank you." Sierra managed to say.
"By the way.... I forgive you." Willow said as she walked out the room, both of them bearing smiles.

Sorry about the delay!
Things are picking up now huh? All other characters coming in do have a purpose to the plot and the story. Twilight's really serious about figuring things out and the product is still unknown. The relationship between Willow and Sierra will be explained soon. Please let me know if you see any errors I'll try to edit it. Self editing does take time and it's easier and a lot more fun if readers point things out. It makes the comment section less lonely. Now watch as nobody comment at all because I said that. Cya!
Secrets don't make friends.
"Let me out!"
Sierra cried like a child getting their toy taken away without the tears. "I wanna go hooome!"
"For the last time Sierra, no!" Redheart screamed for the 14th time. "Sometimes I swear the rehab will never be enough." She mumbled to herself.
"Hey eggnog do you wanna prank call Willow? It'll be fun!" Sierra suggested laying down on the hospital bed looking as if she'd die from laying still for too long.
"Sierra Dash! I swear I will break your face in the name of everything good in this world. That eggnog incident was a long time ago, let it go." Redheart went back to her clipboard jotting things down.
"Look chicka, you need something to relax too. Your so tense and crabby! I know why, how long has it been since you've gotten lai-."
"Sierra, finish that sentence and I will lay you out on the cold hard ground." Redheart had an embarrassed blush.
"You and me on the hospital floor huh? Sounds uncomfortable but if that's your fetish." She shrugged, obviously joking to get on Redhearts last nerve. Which was working completely.
"I hate this so much right now." Rainbow Dash had openly admitted. To both Willow and Fluttershy whom were styling her hair.
"Oh please, your mother said the same thing when my Mother and I would do this to her. As soon as my mother left I got her to crack and openly admit to me she liked it." Willow winked towards the two girls which made them both blush. One from embarrassment and the other from curiosity.
"I have the feeling you two were more than friends." Rainbow bluntly stated with such a sarcastic expression even though her words did have actual meaning to them.
Even if it wasn't exactly directed towards her, Fluttershy's face made even a healthy tomato look bad. "O-oh my, D-Dashie I don't know if you should b-."
She was cut off by her mother's finger to her lips. "Honey..... if she wants to know. I can tell her." She cleared her throat preparing to tell the athletic teenager. "Well.... we were..... well.... lovers at one point. Meep!" She ran off blushing and hiding her face in her hands barely looking where she was going. She left the room, turned the corner, and you could hear a THUMP. Signifying that she had just tripped... which made then situation even cuter.
"Wow... now I know who you ge-. Oh... oh m-my... Fluttershy. What're you doing?" The wave of pleasure on her scalp made her turn around to see Fluttershy glaring daggers at her.
"You will pay attention to me only Dashie, you got that?" Fluttershy demanded as she started to work on her girlfriends hair in such sensual ways.
"Woah.... yeah whatever. Just... don't stop." Rainbow Dash purred as the threat Fluttershy gave her flew right out the other ear.
"You just had to bring it up didn't you AppleJack?" Twilight stood there duck taped to her wall beside AppleJack. "We were totally focused and so close to solving the Fluttercase. Then you just had to bring up the old memory of when Rarity used to borderline dominate people didn't you!" Twilight was so close to yelling at her for what had happened for her slip up. She looked over at Rarity and Pinkie Pie playing their game of battleship. Winner takes AppleJack and Twilight, all because of one comment. The game has been going on for the entire night and not one of them have landed more than two hits.
"Look Twilight, ah'm really sorry! Ah just couldn't help it. It was funny." AppleJack replied back trying to get Twilight into the spirits even though she was just as terrified as she was.
"Funny my ass! You probably wanted this to happen. From what I've heard you totally gave into it the first command! I know your little masochistic secret." Twilight barked back.
AppleJack looked like she wanted to tackle Twilight through the duck tape. "Well ah.... ah'm not!"
"Shut up! Your mistress orders you put a sock in it. I must focus to win what is mine." Rarity looked back at the two girls and scowled.
"Yes ma'am!" AppleJack complied.
"No screw you, this is my house! You sadistic witch. I swear Rarity has a split personality!" Twilight was practically seething with anger. She had no plans for this, or being dominated. Although... last time Pinkie got her hands on a play mate. She was never heard from again... and still to this day. She denies meeting her. That thought sent a chill down Twilight's spine.
"HAH! I win, they're mine!" Pinkie had declared her victory and left a defeated heap of what used to be Rarity in her wake as she skipped over to the two girls. "Now we get to do everything together!"
"Pinkie... stay back. Spike knows how to handle a gun, he will get the shotgun on you!" Twilight's empty threat didn't stop Pinkie from continuing her advance on the two girls.
"Yeah... and my pet can sing." Pinkie giggled with her reply. Darting AppleJack a look which made her flinch.
AppleJack actually took that seriously. "You ain't kiddin' now are ya?"
"Of course I am silly. Gummy can't sing. He's more of a dancer. Anyways Spike wont do much." Pinkie shook her pulling out a pocket knife from who knows where.
"Pinkie why don't we all just calm down, think rationally, and stop playing this game. We seriously need to focus. Plus Spike can, trust me he's potty trained." Twilight took pride in her retaliation against the menacing Pinkie Pie.
"Really now?" Pinkie pointed at the dog practically crapping himself in the corner of her room. Spike hasn't been let out since yesterday.
"You had one job Twilight!" AppleJack yelled over.
"I had one job? Well excuse me for bringing you all here and getting you all food. Then getting you all the other necessities and doing the thinking about the Fluttercase. So thank you for understanding that I forgot to open a door. Which Spike should have done himself, since I did give him a book on how to open a door for dogs. Now if you'll excuse me I have things to clean up!" On cue with one swing of her arm Pinkie skillfully cut Twilight down from the wall. She walked out the room to the bathroom to get the things she needed to clean up. Stepping over the defeated Rarity.
"That's okay. I'll just play with you right now then." Pinkie looked over at AppleJack with a grin.
"People will find out after I'm gone a few days. Twilight will know... my Apple kin will find out." She couldn't disappear like this. She had to convince Pinkie to let her go as well.
"No they wont." Pinkie bluntly put with a giggle. Shaking her head.
After making Redheart so mad Sierra sat alone in her hospital room. She put her face into the pillow and sighed. She though the day would be boring until she heard footsteps and turned around. Suprised by whom her visitor is.
"Hello... my mother sends her regards."
Author's Note
Sorry for such a delay... again. As you know this chapter was kind of made to give me a chance to move the plot along without rushing it and possibly messing things up. This chapters sacrifice will most definitely become useful in the next one. From the last piece of this chapter you can tell a whole new conflict is starting up! If any errors feel free to speak up about it if you want too.
Secrets don't make friends.
"Must I ask why we're out here at this late hour?" The drama queen. Cut off the easy going conversation her three friends shared. Rarity was one for a little excitement in her life but.... this was not what she asked for. "I mean I have no problem at all with it as long as I'm with you girls but, why are we doing this?"
AppleJack had enough of Rarity's complaining. Since they snuck out of Twilight's window, Rarity had been complaining the whole walk. "Now ah recall Twilight here tellin' us what this here walkin' is for." AppleJack looked over to Twilight and nodded her head, allowing Twilight to step up and defend their cause. Twilight has had just enough of Rarity as she did by the look in her eyes.
"I looked into somethings while you girls were messing around and found Fluttershy's address."
"Oh, oh! Do you know where I live?" Pinkie went nose to nose with Twilight staring at her. Making both AppleJack and Rarity stop walking down the sidewalk leading to Fluttershy's area and stare.
Twilight stared at Pinkie Pie, un-amused. Grumbling to herself she pushed Pinkie Pie away from her and continued walking. "Yeah, so I know where to send help if I end up having to sleep over there." No-one but Twilight herself heard that comment. She loves her friend Pinkie but sometimes you can't tell if she looks at friends, enemies, and food the same or a different way.
"It is pretty chilly out here. If my father were to find out about this he would never let me spend the night... or... days at a friends home again!" Rarity cried out loudly... a bit too loud. Ever since they got a few blocks away from Twilight's they felt an ominous presence looming over them... watching them. Now it felt even stronger. Like a heavy sense of guilt. "AppleJack dearest you don't mind getting in a little scuffle for me right?" She batted her eyelashes as their walking speed increased. Also while getting cautious looks from the others. "What? Oh fine. I mean for us?"
The looks continued.
"Oh fine! We can run but if my hair is ruined by sweat it's on you!" She screamed to nobody in general as all 4 girls ran, following the scholar.
"They got away...."
"I don't think the boss will be too happy."
"Lets follow them then.... you heard her before... she mentioned that Fluttershy girl. The boss isn't too fond of her." The third man seemingly the leader of the bunch stated as the two other men followed. "They'll lead us right to the big catch."
Sierra thought back to what had happened earlier this evening. Thinking back to her past in high school with all her old friends, her past mistakes, past accomplishments. Trying to hold back tears.
"Who are you?" Sierra knew exactly whom she was but didn't want to assume... nor did she want to believe it. The eyes of her visitor held a sadistic glint. Although, it wasn't what really bothered her. It was the suitcase.
"The names Gilda. Daughter of... you know who. You do know what I'm here for right?" Gilda walked over and sat on a chair by her hospital bed. "Don't worry... your little Nurse is on lunch break and after all the times you called for help just for laughs, I doubt anyone will come." Gilda got comfortable as she opened the suitcase and started staring into it.
"I've told her I want nothing to do with her. I'm done with it all and I mean it!" Sierra made a small but futile attempt to scoot away from Gilda and got a strong grip on her right arm holding her in place. They both knew she was in no condition for a fight.
"Don't worry." Gilda pulled out a fairly small syringe with a label saying 'The Product.' "This wont hurt a bit." She said as she prepared Sierra's arm and injected the substance.
"No! I get that you want to welcome me and make me feel at home, but I'm not doing it!" The prismatic haired teenager folded her arms and turned the other way. Refusing both Willow and Fluttershy's request. "Besides why don't we try eating dinner?"
"O-Oh yes Dashie we can but... I really want you to... um." Fluttershy stopped herself as fear overcame her desire of Rainbow doing the one task. So to ease that feeling she hid behind her hair.
"Oh please! It's just petting a bunny, how hard could it be?" Willow said as she patted her daughter's back to ease her out of her shell. "Wow and I thought you could do anything!"
This got to Rainbow and she would not let that comment stand. "Oh yeah? Well you can eat those words because they don't call me Rainbow Danger Dash for nothing!" She turned and started to stroke the sleeping bunny gently at first with some distaste but soon started to love the texture of the fur. The gentle rise and fall of it's chest also put a smile on Rainbow's face. "As long as no-one else sees thi-." She took her hand off the bunny to see both Fluttershy and Willow gone. Confusion, irritation, and curiosity led her towards Willow's room to see her already e-mailing pictures of her petting the bunny to all of her old friends. Getting replies like. 'Is that Sierra's daughter? How cute, send my regards!'
Fluttershy was the first to turn around and see the evil that was named Rainbow Dash. "D-Dashie?" Fluttershy was shaking in her own skin as if she were trying to break out of it.
Willow turned around and went pale at the sight of Rainbow Dash with such a deathly glare. She did the only thing a mother could. "It was Fluttershy's idea."
"So... I think they're there." The leader said as he started to pull out of their hiding spot. "The boss will be quite happy... The Diamond Dog's never fail a job." All three stalked up to the group of girls whom were now having an awkward conversation with who seemed to be Fluttershy's mother. Who proceeded to let them in.
"Now's our chance!" The bulky one barked as all three of them ran up. The bulky on grabbing Rarity by the hair as the other two shoved the others in the house. Allowing the bulky man and the drama queen to enter.
"RARITY!" Pinkie screamed as she threw herself at the bulky man only to be backhanded to the floor by a tall man.
AppleJack didn't always like Pinkie Pie and Rarity's antics but she sure knew she loved them like her own flesh and blood. She was not going to stand for this at all. She charged the shorter guy, Spartan kicking him in the chest with her handy boots. Only to turn and end up in a short lived scuffle with the taller one. Who had a lot more reach than she did. She was immediately pushed into the others along with a flung Rarity. A shocked, injured, terrified, and livid group of girls along with the adult Mother of Fluttershy stood together at the mercy of these three invaders.
"Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my house!" Willow walked up front and spread her arms to protect the young and battered girls. The shortest man finally got up from the powerful blow to the chest. Willow saw that as a weak link to break them. She hoped Rainbow Dash would stop punishing Fluttershy to notice all that is going on.
"Shut it! Before somebody here gets hurt. Give us what we want and we might let you all go." The tall one sized up Willow making her flinch and take a step back. With that he knew he had them under his control. Fear can do a lot of things. "Now tell me... where is Fluttersh-."
CRACK!
The only thing anyone could hear as a signature punch flew in from who knows where was the breaking of the buff mans jaw. A prismatic demon ran from the now fallen and destroyed former attacker and ran after the short man. Without anyone expecting such speed the prismatic blur grabbed the mans entire face with her hand and used the rest of her momentum to run the back of his head into the wall behind him. With a loud sound that could be mistaken as a thunderstorm. She continued to smash the limp man's head into the wall.
"Dashie look out!" The voice came from a terrified Fluttershy whom had just turned the corner to see her beat up friends and mother. Along with a tall man stalking up on the Rainbow Pajama wearing Dash to land a hit.
Her warning was too late as she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and flew sideways onto the floor as the man got on top of her and started laying punch after punch on her. With her arms up attempting to protect her face she didn't see the look on the mans face as he stopped.
"So you're back in town huh? Never thought I'd see you again." He looked over his shoulder at Fluttershy. Looking her up and down. Then back at Rainbow Dash. "After I'm done with you and grab that Flutterchick, I may take you with me for some extra... fun... to pleasure myself with. I'm sure the boss wont mind if I use you two up before your sent ove-."
He was knocked off Rainbow Dash as he got a well deserved kick to the face by an enraged mother. Which was followed up by Rainbow Dash leaping onto him and wailing on him with an unending series of punches.
"Don't.You.Ever.Talk.Like.You.Know.ME!" She kept going as tears of fury rolled down her cheeks. Blood from her fists flew around the place with each draw back of her fists. His mangled face seemingly lifeless after the first few dozen punches. She was going too far, but everyone watched in horror as they all felt like they had to save this man. Their fear was now directed at Rainbow Dash. She was about to brutally end this man.... and she enjoyed it. The feeling of crushing anyone who comes near Fluttershy or her family to her was, enticing. She knew she may now be obsessing over Fluttershy now but to her it doesn't feel bad at all.
'Fluttershy is mine and all mine! You deserve this. ANYONE WHO COMES TOO CLOSE TO HER DESERVES THIS. I can protect her.' She continued to feed her ego's flame in her mind and beat the life out of this man until a pair of arms wrapped around her and gently pulled her away. Snapping her out of the trance she was in and making her see what she has done.
Willow held on to Rainbow and whispered gentle words into her ear as the group of girls ran over to Fluttershy. That left a sour taste in Rainbows mouth.
"I'm sorry." Dash whispered to Willow as she looked at her bloodied fists and the mess of the three men she had made. "I just..."
"It's alright honey. You protected us." She cradled the girl in her arms. After all... she made a promise to treat her like her own child. Which made her think... should she call the police? There are ups and downs to this if she did. "Fluttershy honey! Take Rainbow Dash and the others girls to the bathroom and check up on their wounds! I'll take care of these guys..."
"O-Oh, okay. Please be careful," Fluttershy walked over to Rainbow Dash and helped her stand. Walking her over to the girls who weren't so happy to be around her.
"I will." Willow muttered as she grabbed the keys to her truck with the fury of a mother bear who's cubs were threatened. She didn't know what was going on, why they were after her daughter, or how they knew Rainbow Dash but she will find out later. Whether Fluttershy likes it or not.
As her mind finally came down from the feverish high and stopped feeling like it was melting from the inside Sierra's heart beat suddenly went irregular. Breathing became more of a struggle and her eye sight was going out. She knew what was happening and finally found out exactly what the product does to someone.
"Willow... please. Take care of.... my baby. She's all I have... all I ever had." Her voice went out and the last thing she heard was the long beeping sound. Then, nothing.
Right at that moment, Willow had finally managed to load up each guy into the back of the truck and turn the truck itself on. Her attention was brought towards the sky as she stared at it... the night sky. "....Sierra?"

I should be done with the next chapter sometime today. Enjoy!
9 Secrets?
"Go away."
Was all she said. She never came out for food, water, or other necessities unless it was night time when everyone was asleep or if Fluttershy brought it. The most concerned was Twilight Sparkle. She had called her dad and told him they all went to Fluttershy's to hang out there. She couldn't come back with the still showing bruises. The incident happened several days ago and it circulated back to this mysterious Rainbow Dash figure who wont come out and secretive Fluttershy. Everytime she would bring something up Fluttershy would get extremely defensive.
Her mother was also locking herself away from the world. Even though she's been acting strange lately, Fluttershy's the only one left to hold fort. Other than that, the bruises and the rift between the group of friends has been healing.
"Hey Fluttershy ah need ta know. Can ya get yer to come out. Pinkie wont stop singing the smile song in her sleep." AppleJack asked at breakfast.
"Yes dear, I would love to meet her. She had the most dazzling hair!" Rarity squealed and did hand motions as if touching Rainbow's hair.
"Why don't you introduce us and tell us how you met her?" Twilight pressed onto the slightly cowering Fluttershy whom seems to be shocked by these sudden advances.
"Why wont she smile?" Pinkie asked.
That hit Fluttershy's anger point. It was either friends or love right now and she chose love. "You wanna know why she wont smile? Why she wont come out the room? Why I've never introduced her to you? It's because she's gone through enough in her life and her mother. Her only parent, is dead! So no I wont introduce you. No you will not touch her hair, and no she will not be smiling anytime soon!" She got up and walked off into Rainbow's room.
"This thing's great. Especially for crimes. Get em high, do whatever the hell you're doing steal, interrogation, and a couple other things and in an hours time their heart stops. You can even use it as a one last hurray drug." Gilda sat at a table showing off a suitcase of it to other, 'business associates'.
"Hmph! Seems interesting kid. I'll take twenty cases. Although... aren't you a little too young for this business?" A tall man in a black and red suit asked.
"Nah, I used to do this at an even younger age. I used to have a partner too." Gilda said with a distant look.
"Hm? Well it's none of my business anyways. Nice makin' business with ya kid. We'll see each other around again." He smirked as he turned for the door.
"Yeah... sure."
"We shouldn't be doing this. We've stepped over the line. I will not participate any longer." Rarity said as she walked away following the other two now leaving Twilight alone with a glass cup to the door and on her ear listening.
Twilight knew what she was doing as a human being was sick but she'd come so far with research from almost no clues at all. She was so close, just idly sitting by would make her go crazy. She had to finish the puzzle and get it all done. She yet again knew it was sick but she had no problem about it. Fluttershy's hiding things and she was gonna find out what.
"I miss her so much... even though we had a rocky past. Even though you got caught up in my stupid decisions back then. She still loved me no matter what." Twilight could tell this was Rainbow Dash. She's only seen her once and the prismatic blur is what she likes to call her. She seemed to have some background with Fluttershy and those guys. Now that she's saying this, it becomes a game changer. It no longer had anything to do with them anymore. This whole secretive life goes way back.
She was determined to find out.
"Did you... did you get anything from the autopsy?" Redheart asked the man whom performed it.
"I'm sorry but we can't disclose any information." He replied walking around her to the doors.
"Please! She was my friend..." Redheart gave one last try.
The man turned around and stared at her. Contemplating on why she would like to know so much and if he should tell.
"Please? What would Jesus do?" Redheart begged.
"Okay, fine. Meet me at Vbo Monday's tonight." He said shaking his head and walking out the door.
"Thank you." Was all she said.
"AppleJack.... I've been meaning to tell you this for a while so... here I go dear. I love you so much and I want the savory taste of your Apple pie flavored lips. Take me my sweet love!" Rarity fell into AppleJacks arms.
"Ah feel tha same way uuhh. Look ah can't do it!" AppleJack helped Rarity stand up and let go of her. Looking around the corner and sighing.
"What am I not good enough for you?" Rarity was getting defensive and AppleJack had to do something about it. After a while of being around Rarity you learn never to insult her.
"No ah mean the acting. Twilight's not even lookin' sugarcube." AppleJack gestured for her to look around the corner.
Rarity and Pinkie Pie looked around the corner to see Twilight still wrapped up in whatever she was doing. Pinkie let out a rough sigh and stomped over to Twilight.
"Cmon' creepy pants! Time to wake up from your trance!" Pinkie smiled and waited... she waited.... and waited. No response at all. "That's it! Twilight you gotta move yourself!" She said as she started to tug on Twilight.
"Ssshh they'll hear you." Twilight didn't move an inch.
Pinkie just had the most blank facial expression on and stood there, letting Twilight go. "Okay then." She said as she pulled down Twilight's skirt and walked off. Twilight not even noticing. Once she was at a good distance she started taking photos.
"Be a dear and tell me... what are yo- oooooohh." Rarity snickered. "I'd like a copy."
"You ignore me.... and you will suffer mortal fool." Twilight had just picked the wrong Pinkie to mess with. Out of all her split personalities she choose the wrong one to tango with. "Oh it's on sister. This means war." War she declared and war it shall be.
Secrets don't make friends.
Author's Note
I was late on the two chapters before Monday deadline by 21 minutes. Gotta get sleep for school in a few hours and by few I mean 4.
10 Truth!
Shock.
Shock was all she felt. Shock was all she expressed. She was just shocked. Not by the fancy restaurant, the food, or the great services along with her dazzling 'date'. It was the information she was hearing. It pained her to hear all the things the man was saying. She only wished the best for Sierra. Sure she could be a huge pain in the butt sometimes but she meant well. She didn't deserve this, niether did her daughter. That's another problem though. Rainbow Dash is already grieving from the news of her mothers death. How will she be able to handle what she was hearing now? How will Willow handle it? Moistening her lips Redheart shook her head and looked over her shoulder. "Check please!" She called out turning around staring at the man. "Thank you... so much. You really don't know how much this means to me. The dinner was great, I've got to go now." She smiled and payed the bill, even tipping the waitress as she got up to walk out the door. As she did, she made up her mind. "Even if I have to be the one to bring this bad news. They have to hear this. They deserve that much." Redheart pulled out her car keys and climbed into her car.
"Wow, this was harder than I thought. I've brought bad news to patients before! I'm usually blunt about everything. How can I not simply knock on a door? I mean I've even turned down Sierra wanting fun time and that was hard. Whether you're straight or not, to anybody Sierra has one smokin' piece of as-." The door suddenly swung open to reveal a girl dressed in camouflage combat skirt and boots, eccentric pink hair, and wild eyes.
"Are you a recruit?" The girl asked staring Redheart dead in the eyes as if her reply decided her fate.
"Uummm... no. Hello my name is Nurse Redheart and no. Although I am here to see Willow. Can you please let her know Redheart is here to see her?"
"Hhhhhhmmmmm. Okay!" The door just shut in Redhearts face.
"Okay? Well that was stra-." The door swung back open cutting her off.
"She says she doesn't remember any Redheart character." Pinkie said with suspicious eyes. Things weren't going good and Redheart knew it.
Then it hit her. The genius idea, that she hated but could use. "Tell her... it's eggnog."
"Hmmmm okay!" The door closed again as she raced off and came back a few seconds later. "She said she knows who you are. Why didn't you say so earlier? If only you were to say eggnog first she would've known."
"Wow, figures." Redheart face palmed as she walked into the house.
Willow's bed felt comfortable, her room was also decorated with pictures of her highschool years and th- oh gods. The eggnog moment. Redheart got up and layed the picture down flat on the table and sighed. She walked back over to the bed and sat next to a giggling Willow.
"What's so funny?" Willow asked with a scowl on her face. Willow usually wasn't as shy as her daughter but she usually isn't this bold. "I wonder what happened." She muttered to herself.
"Nothing much. Also, since loosing Sierra I've decided to become stronger for her. That's what happened." Willow smiled and looked up at the ceiling.
"How did you?" Redheart was pretty sure she had said that at a low volume.
"I can understand Fluttershy all the time. I'm used to it. Silly eggnog!" Willow patted Redhearts head. Smiling at Redhearts facial expression whom didn't look amused.
"When will that nickname die down!" Redheart switched to pleading eyes.
"You'll have to kill me!" Willow laughed at this, the thought of her friend killing her over a nickname was just too ridiculous.
"Tempting." Was all Redheart had to say to get Willow to stop laughing abruptly and shut up.
"Now I have something of importance to discuss and trust me. This wont be easy to tell, nor will it be easy to hear. When the autopsy came back. The cause of death was also uncovered. She was drugged, and died a slow death. They found unknown substances leftover in her blood. Also a small hole which could have been from a syringe in her arm. She was killed Willow... and by who? We still don't know but we will find out. I'm sorry if I ruined your night. I'll take my leave now." She got up and walked away from the dead looking Willow and walked out the door. Damn she felt so sorry for her, but she had to know. Like she said before, she'd tell both Willow and Rainbow Dash but she just couldn't bring herself too. She turned to the door and walked out. It was about time she went home... she had to grieve herself.
"Now tell me... how much did you tell that Nurse?" Gilda walked around the table the man sat at. She had a bright light in his face and made sure he was tied to the chair.
"I-I I swear please! I don't know what you're talking about please!" The man was panicked, disoriented, and terrified.
"I'm pretty sure a couple 'witnesses' saw you giving away information I told you to destroy."
"Please! Just don't use the same thing you used on the Dash patient!" The man pleaded trying to follow her voice.
"Cmon' man chill, I wouldn't do that. That's going way overboard!" Gilda said with a joking tone. The man grew less tense as if relaxing now that his safety is ensured. That's when Gilda drove two rusty nails into his hands. Stapling him to the table. "I'm just gonna teach you not to double cross me!"
Secrets don't make friends.
"I-I love you!" The shy girl stated. Looking over at her companion. She was blushing as she sealed her eyes shut, preparing for the worst. This sleepover had gone all wrong.
After a moment of silence the timid girl spoke up once again. "Y-You think I'm a freak now don't you?!"
Silence.
The shy one supsected the other girl had gotten up and left the scene. 'I can't blame her.' She muttered to herself. Curiosity getting the best of her made the girl by the name of Flutterbye open her eyes. Only to see the girl by the name of Rainbow Flash staring at her. Eyes full of..... lust?
"Truth or dare." Was the only thing that came out of Rainbow Flashes mouth.
A weird reply to a love confession but still better than nothing. "Truth?"
"Do you really love me?"
Flutterbye had a million ways to answer that question. Although insincere sounding but geniune and simple she decides to go with saying. "Of course."
Rainbow Flash smiled at that and looked Flutterbye in the eyes. "Truth or dare?"
Again? The shy and beautiful girl decides to take an easy path. "Truth?"
"Will you let me kiss you?"
'What? Did she really ask me if she could kiss me? I must be hearing funny!' Flutterbye thought to herself, nodded her ask for confidence, and asked. "Can you repeat that again?"
"Will you let me kiss you?" Rainbow Flash exclaimed more statement like than a question.
Bewildered but relieved Flutterbye nods her head in agreement and braces herself. "Y-Yes I wi- mmph!"
Rainbow Flash leaned over and kissed Flutterbye for a good 5 seconds. The room suddenly felt hot and both girls ran their tongue's upon their lips. Getting a taste of the others lips.
"More.... I want mor-!" Flutterbye's pleading was mercilessly put to an end by Rainbow's lips. The taste, feel, and warmth. She loved it all. No, she craved it. She wanted even more of her newfound lover, greed or lust. Whichever one it was she didn't care. It was unusual of her to be this way but Rainbow just brings out new sides of her everyday.
Rainbow Flash pulled away as she gently pushed Flutterbye on her back on the bed. Crawling on top of her, the rainbow hair falling down on each side of her her attention was focused on Flutterbye's beautiful teal eyes. Then downward to those entrancing lips. She licked her own and tried her best to contian her excitement.
She leaned down and kissed Flutterbye this time more passionately. She gripped onto the blankets so she can contian the overflow of emotions. Rainbow broke away from Flutterbye's lips and started kissing her cheek. Inbetween each kiss she would whisper I love you's. Traveling downward. To her chin..... her neck... and then her chest. She raised her head and looked at Flutterbye with eyes of concern. "I wont if you're not ready."
Flutterbye thought about it. Rainbow Flash was right.... she had to make a decision here. A big one at that. She looked up at Rainbow. Staring her in the eyes after a bit of thinking. With confidence and lust in her eyes she said "Yes. I'm okay with it."
Rainbow just nodded her head and raised her hand bringing it to Flutterbye's chest. She slowly brought her hand down an-.
"Actually Fluttershy I would've just kept going. I mean knowing me nobody would be able to bring themselves to turn down Rainbow Dash! Especially when it comes to you Fluttershy.... all the way baby...." Rainbow Dash said as she finished reading the fiction Fluttershy was typing late night. Making Fluttershy jump and close her laptop swiftly. A blush spreading across her face but the darkness in the room hiding it from Rainbow's sight.
"Wh-what do you mean you?! How do you know it was about you anyways?" Fluttershy squeaked out.
"Flutterbye? Rainbow Flash? Really?" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Dead give away."
Fluttershy felt like she wanted to crawl into a pit where nobody would find her. From embarrassment, anger, fear, and worst of all. Shame.
Rainbow saw her pained expression and figured that she's distressing her girl. "What's wrong Flutterpie?
"..... Shame... I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" Fluttershy shook her head. Crying in her own room.
"No! It's okay! It's just a fic! Trust me we're way more spontaneous than that." Rainbow giggled as she embraced Fluttershy. "So wanna try some of the stuff you typed?" She said with a smirk.
Fluttershy nodded her head a bit and gasped when she was suddenly pick up from her seat and layed down on the bed.
"Shall we?" Rainbow said right before she leaned down and went in for the kiss.
"It's been a week Twilight and there's nothing about them that seems off at all. You must really be overthinking things and accusing poor Rainbow!" Rarity had opened her eyes for a second after waking up and still saw Twilight getting data.
"No... I have to keep going!" Twilight replied with a slight whisper.
"Suit yourself!" Rarity said as she put her head down to go back to sleep.
"Really? You had to cut off our fun time just to upload a fic?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
Fluttershy nodded her head with a smile on her face." This fiction does mean a lot to me. It's actually something you and I experienced together."
"Yeah halfway. I don't even think it's finished though." Rainbow stated as she yawned. Still clicking enter for her.
Fluttershy was shocked. Just... shocked. "You made me upload an unfinished chapt-."

Yes... I did an unfinished chapter ending too. Sorry if there are any spelling errors. Towards the end I was falling asleep and kind of doozing off and hallucinating with dreams and such. Like now.

4. Attacks, Parties, and The Return of Rainbow.
"Rarity... sorry to bother yer uuhhh... ramblin' about Pinkie but... I gotta ask ya. Where did Pinkie go?" AppleJack's face was forming into a example of be cautious. She was sitting there the entire time listening to Rarity talk about the dangers and events that occurred during a party Pinkie had thrown. Niether of them taking the time to look back at the now gone Pinkie.
Pinkie's cellphone was left on her bed. Both AppleJack and Rarity rushed over to it hoping Pinkie hadn't done it. Rarity put her hand to the pink touch screen phone and fainted with her sentence. "Kill me now!"
AppleJack knew the deed was done... Pinkie had made several calls, texts, blogs, orders, and invites. Her phone was extremely hot. "Darn Pinkie.." AppleJack stepped over Rarity setting Pinkie's phone in the fridge like Pinkie usually would. "Now ah gotta find a way outta here... Rarity's out... and death is arrivin'. I can try jumpin out the window! Or use Rarity as a cushion for the fall!" AppleJack was half going mad anything would be better than what was to come. AppleJack had a decision and she had to make it now. It's do or die.

"Spike... it's you and me buddy!" Twilight's pretty paranoid clutching onto the family shotgun locked up in her room. She had all sorts of locks and wires protecting her door and windows. She stocked up on snacks, books, and water. As soon as she got the text about the party she knew she wouldn't be able to make it in time. Which was bad... if you don't arrive. Twilight shuddered at the thought. Last time she missed out on a party... it made her wish she had her gun on her and Pinkie wasn't her friend. It was so terrifying she practically wet herself as it happened and nearly wet herself thinking about it. She looked to her left and saw she had enough ammo for what was to come. "Spike... if I don't make it... please make the time I've tried to teach you English useful and tell my parents I love them. Also if I can't pull the trigger... do it for me will ya?"
Spike just tilted his head and ran around the room trying to get out.
"I know it's tough... but we have to survive the night! Hey want to read a manual on how to handle guns?" Twilight continued to ramble on, Spike oblivious to what she's saying. Niether of them paying attention to the incoming footsteps.

"I was talking to you lady. Gonna answer me or not?" Gilda was impatiently asking pocket knife still in hand having used it on those last guys. She was supposed to be hiding out in the alley and stay out of sight with the type of dealing she was making. She disregarded that seeing Fluttershy who took most of Rainbows time away from her. "Still being obnoxiously shy huh? You can drop the act! Acting like that just to lure people in... all you really did was make Rainbow useless and mushy. No wonder she moved without telling anyone. She was so ashamed of herself for becoming an uncool piece of crap! She was actually useful when she hung out with me... when you came around you made her as useless as you are! Freak!" Gilda was enjoying the look of pain on Fluttershy's face.
Fluttershy honestly felt like stepping back onto the road and hope for a bus because this flipping hurt. She was at a loss for words unable to comprehend the pain knowing it was true. She hugged the bag of groceries to her chest tightly as tears fell. She loved Rainbow and told her everything. The only person in the world she would truthfully open up too. She felt guilty because as the days went by... Gilda had lost her friend. She wondered if she deserved this cruelty? It was also probably true, Rainbow must had moved away without telling anyone because she was ashamed of what she had become. 'She probably was the one who brought the idea of moving to her mom.' Fluttershy's thoughts matched her expression, horrible. Fluttershy hadn't even noticed two guys coming from behind her to Gilda's delight. Not until the man to the left put his hand over her mouth and put a knife to her throat.
With Fluttershy thrashing and kicking she dropped the groceries. The man to the right grabbed her legs as they carried her into the alley following Gilda into a door leading to a run down club. It was empty, just what Gilda needed. They all hurried in with the thrashing girl and dropped her down on a seat. The two men walked around Fluttershy examining her and gently touching her shoulders. While Gilda slid her knife gently upon Fluttershy's skin. Before striking her across the face. "Think it's fun being alone now? With no one to help you?" Gilda growled at the sobbing Fluttershy.
"Please... let me go. I know Rainbow left you and I'm sor-." Fluttershy was cut off by the now glaring Gilda.
"Don't you dare say that name... you don't have the right too! Now anyways before I let you two have your way with her why don't we test some of the new products out on her?" Gilda pulled out a syringe. Flicking it to make sure there were no air bubbles in it. "This wont hurt a bi-."
Gilda was shut up instantly as she took a punch to the face. Knocked out bleeding from her nose and lip along with what looked like a broken jaw. Gilda fell defeated by one punch.
The two guys took their attention off Fluttershy to look at the attacker and got ready to fight only to have a cupcake shoved in their faces as they fell. Probably dead.
Fluttershy looked behind her and infront of her so releaved to see familiar faces. Both of her saviours stared each other down sizing each other up for Fluttershy.
"How did you get here?" Pinkie asked Gildas attacker with a hint of excitement from her party planned in her tone.
"I was heading to this wicked party at some school and I saw the groceries on the floor... walked into the alley and found an open door. How did you get her-." She was cut off by a slap to the face from Fluttershy.
"RAINBOW DASH! How COULD you! Just up and leave, not giving a goodbye or telling me. I needed you! My knight just walked out of my life like that. Why didn't you come back... why didn't you come sooner? I was scared... I'm so afraid!" Fluttershy was a mix of emotions. Going from angry to making statements to being distraught and afraid of what just happened. Putting her hands to her face she was embraced by Rainbow. Niether of them noticing Pinkie's disappearance.
'When I came back to town a week ago... I didn't expect to see her. I didn't expect to meet her at all... especially in this situation. What if I came a second later than I already did?' Rainbow was holding Fluttershy so lost in thought not noticing she was mumbling the same thing over and over to Fluttershy. "I'm sorry... I'm so so sorry."
Fluttershy hearing what she was saying pushed away from her switching to anger again. "Don't you dare... give me that!" Fluttershy was starting to remember it all. "Don't you dare. You promised me we would be forever! You said YOU LOVED ME. So tell me, did you move because your mother made you or was it because you couldn't handle the fact that because of me you figured out you were gay? Is that why you left... because you were ashamed of what I made you realize?! I bet you really wanted this to happen, you probably left me for dead here huh? You wanted this all to happen! It's no coincidence Gilda came at me and you happen to show up! You told me you loved me and took my first kiss! I was happy... then you moved without telling me. You could have at least broke up with me, instead of leaving me clueless and thinking you were coming back to me. I waited for you... for so long. I never looked at anyone else, I never felt for anyone else. I was so lonely! I was almost killed just now! All of this... and you tell me your sorry?!"
Rainbow had not expected that. She never knew how much she had put Fluttershy through. Looking around at what almost happened to her left a bad taste in her mouth. What she had done to her... emotionally was cruel. Rainbow was no person to show much emotion but this made her cry as she reached out to the now backing away Fluttershy. "Please... I know I messed up bad but we can make this work! This is supposed to be a happy moment... I'm back now. That's what matters now right? I want to be your knight in shinning armor again! I want to protect you again... to be with you again! Fluttershy I know I left without telling you or ending it but I knew it would hurt you and make it harder for me to leave if I told you. I didn't dump you because I didn't want it to end between us because of some distance! I still want to be with you. I'm as shocked as you are about the odds of meeting you here... and I want to protect you from anything that comes near you. If something were to happen to you I wouldn't be able to live with myself. We can go to school together and be together just like old times! I promise you I wont leave your side this time!"
Fluttershy was giving into Rainbows words and promises. She didn't know if she was supposed to just leave or... forgive her. After all it wasn't all her fault she had to move. Before she could answer Rainbow grabbed her hand and walked out of the building and the alley. To the old ice cream shop they would go to, it brought back good memories but she was still unsure of herself and Rainbow. After all it has been a while since they've met and they both look, think, and sound more mature than before. Rainbow still roughly looked the same except she did have more muscle and curves that compliments them. Fluttershy liked what she was seeing but that wasn't the point. She really did want to give into Rainbows words, she felt protected already. She wouldn't have to be lonely anymore. She no longer felt afraid nor did she think much about what almost happened to her. She had to admit it, Rainbow Dash made her world feel a lot better. That still doesn't make up for the fact that she left, though she did have good reasons and never broke up with her because she still wanted to be with her. 'Does that mean we're still a couple?' Fluttershy looked over at Rainbow who returned her gaze. Her heart fluttered igniting the dead flames of love. She was certian she wanted to try this again. Meeting her like this was so fast paced along with Rainbows desperate attempts to talk to her. 'Wait... is she trying to talk to me?'
"Fluttershy, do you want to go in or should I walk you back to where you were going?" Rainbow was loosing her patience.
"Oh no... I can't I'm sorry it's so late. Walking me back is fine thank you." Fluttershy realized she would have to make up some lie to explain what happened to the groceries. Which didn't make her feel better. Suprisingly Pinkie's the best person to tell something to if you want a secret to stay a secret. So she didn't have to worry about that. She was worrying about Rainbow meeting her friends. That would be bad.... so many secrets and lies exposed they would hate her.
"Just lead the way. It's nothing anyways you're still my girlfriend remember?" Rainbow looked at Fluttershy waiting for her answer. Only to see an uncertain face on Fluttershy. She expected as much and uncertainties were better than a no. She just had to show her how awesome she was and she'd get the girl, ten seconds flat. With her plan in mind she followed Fluttershy, both of them not aware of the storm they were about to face.
--------------
Twilight's dad had just finished bringing up movies for her to watch. She thought it was Pinkie and almost pulled the trigger. She had just finished locking all the locks again as she turned around to see Pinkie on her bed petting Spike. Twilight picked up the shotgun and aimed at Pinkie, trembling in fear. "How'd you get in here? Actually don't answer that question! Get out... or I will shoot!"
"Silly! I can't leave, not without you!" Pinkie put on a gas mask.
"What are you talking about? This is pretty far from the highschool how did you get here so fast?" Twilight staggered and fell asleep. Pinkie having gassed the room dragged Twilight through one of the windows she forgot to wire up and jumped out leaving a confused and sleepy Spike. Dragging Twilight down a few blocks she jumped into the hidden transportation. The helicopter. The buckled Twilight in and took off straight to the highschool as fast as she could go.
---------------
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, stood there infront of a highschool on fire. The fire fighters were shirtless hosing down drunk girls in bikinis and some without any clothes at all. The firefighters dancing with girls just as drunk as they are. People were partying not caring about the flames. Some people jumped out the windows onto trampolines to see how much 'snow' they can make fly up into the air and see who could inhale the most. Private parties could be heard from several different areas from the school. Music was blaring and worst of all the fire fighters decided to try and shoot liquor out of the hose. Well that was the worst until the copter Pinkie was in zoomed over the roof of the school where most teenagers were at dropping bottle after bottle upon them and even more people jumping out to be caught by the crowd, even more snow was dumped out. Pinkie along with an awake and a freaking out Twilight jumped out the copter and into the crowd. The copter spun out of control as it crashed right into the school. The back of it sticking out. Empty bottles were thrown out the windows or the roof of the school. Shattering as they hit the ground.
"Oh... I hope AppleJack and Rarity are okay." Fluttershy was kind of used to this and somewhat suprised. She giggled at the sight, it was chaotic but it was home.
"Rarity? AppleJack? Hey um... instead of staying here how about we spend Saturday night at my place instead?" Rainbow had never seen a party like this before and didn't want to experience it. It was also a good way to appeal to Fluttershy.
Fluttershy didn't know if it was a good idea but it was a way to fix their broken bond. "Of course." Was all she had to say for her weekend to officially begin. She followed an excited Rainbow Dash to who knows where. She didn't care at all she just knew she had her Dashie back and she had a decision to make. To love her or reject her.
--------------
Rarity woke up to a party in full swing. She saw no sign of AppleJack. No sign but her stetson. She was alone in the room noticing this dorm was untouched by the party and havoc. She knew, something had happened to AppleJack, there was loud music, and something was burning by the smell. She picked up AppleJacks hat as tears dropped, she will miss her. AppleJack... was gone, the party had gotten her.
Author's Note
Sorry for taking a while! I'm also sorry for what happened there. Yeah I think I never told any of you that they were a thing. Next chapter will probably be a flashback of when they were dating and the one after that will be Fluttershy spending the day at Rainbows house...alone. Stay Tuned and Stay Gold!
