"When Twilight told me you needed my help, I never imagined it would be this kind, Rainbow, no offense." The princess of the Crystal Empire gracefully walked along the streets of her kingdom side of the daring prismatic pegasus.
"No problem, it's really not my type, this romantic thing."
It all started a week ago when Fluttershy convinced Rainbow Dash to make a spring cleaning at her own home. By scavenging the bag of memories, a glow momentarily blinded her. After regaining her sight, she picked up the shiny thing that turned out to be a tiny fragment of a very blue crystal crudely tied on a string. Gilda had given it in their graduation in Junior Speedsters, saying she would never forget her, the coolest pony she had known. Tears came unexpectedly to remember the last meeting with the griffon. She knew she could not take it anymore, not after bringing back such a symbolic object. So she decided to resort the princess of love for some help.
"G gave me this at our graduation, she told me she had come here to find something that could afford a VIP box at the Wonderbolts show."
"It was very brave of her. Six years ago the empire was not what it is today."
"And I noticed that it does not fit with any crystals of here, any crack in the wall, nothing! Nothing but the Crystal Heart."
The small fragment glowed in Rainbow chest as much as the Crystal Heart that turned restlessly in its place. Cadance and Rainbow approached of the jewel and observed its movement, looking for some crack. Cadance was the first to notice.
"There, on the top left side, the cracked matches perfectly with the fragment you have there."
Dash's heart skipped a beat. She remembered perfectly the horror that Twilight said that spent to rescue the Crystal Heart. Face her worst fear. Rainbow Dash knew which was the greatest fear of Gilda. She gulped when comparing the fragment with the rest of the heart. As a puzzle finally solved, but without the excitement of completing it. How could she approach of the griffon again after the last meeting?
Gilda had fallen in each of the pranks that Rainbow spread through the party and blamed Pinkie for them. She looked furious, but when she left, Rainbow can capture a hint of sadness and disappointment in the yellow eyes. That look tormented her on dreams for months. She apologized for having bring Gilda to Ponyville, but it was for Gilda that she must to apologize. Gilda was always that way, griffons were that way. It was something fascinating in Dash's eyes in high school.
And then still had her love for Gilda. She had never admitted to anyone, not to the griffon herself. It was something she was hiding to keep her image. My image, she sighed, something that Gilda helped build, without her I would not be even half of that coolness who i am now.
Although she loved her Ponyville friends like sisters, she missed the time she spent flying with Gilda. No pegasus in Ponyville could stay with her in flight. That was exciting in any race with the griffon.
"Rainbow, are you okay?" Cadance looked genuinely concerned for the pegasus.
No, she was not well. She left Gilda escape through that door because her older sister instincts prioritized defending Pinkie Pie. She lost Gilda maybe forever. She was an idiot.
"I'm not sure." The pegasus admitted in defeat, laying in the crystal ground.
Cadance sat beside her. By letters she received from Twilight and the brief time she had been with Rainbow Dash, the princess idealized an unbreakable creature without fear, even a bit rude sometimes. She did not expect such a moment never in life. There was a heart that had spent so much time tied up and was now taking advantage of the loophole to free himself.
"Come, let's have dinner and clear our minds, seems that this internal conflict took a lot from you." She stroked Dash mane with a maternal love. "Maybe we should discuss it tomorrow, what do you think?"
"Sounds good, I'm not feeling very well to talk about it now."
Rainbow, Cadance and her husband Shining Armor had dinner in silence. A silence broken by Shining when Rainbow wished good night to both and retired of the dining room.
"So what's up with Rainbow Dash?" The unicorn finished swallow his noodles when asked.
"A very strong love that grew too long stifled. She needs help, but refuses to open up and share what she really feels. I wanted her to trust me as Twily entrusted to send her to me."
"Do not worry. Twiley always described Rainbow to me as a rough diamond. And if someone is able to polish that diamond is you, baby."
"I hope so."
While walking the aisles on the way to bedroom Rainbow thought about the events of that week. The rediscovery of the collar and an old flame long ago muffled. She thought it was the best. Maybe Gilda did not have the same feelings for her.
So why give her a piece of the Crystal Heart? She knew how much she was stubborn, Gilda also not lagged behind. Perhaps it was fear of breaking the friendship for judge her lesbian only by the color of the mane as many did. She hated it. She was a lesbian yes, but not by the color of the mane. Gilda made her gay. Gilda and her stupid sexy butt. Gilda and her stupid sexy wings. Gilda and her stupid sexy griffon body.
How many thousand erotic dreams her had with Gilda? The wild griffon smell inebriated her so that she had to shake her head to focus on the flight. She felt her pussy getting wet with those thoughts. Damn sexy thoughts about Gilda. She opened the bedroom door and closed it. He lay down on the bed and pulled the collar of the neck, stroking her pussy on fire with it. Relieved, she fell asleep.
