"S-slow down Dashie, you almost hit that tree over there" She said in a timid voice.
"Don't worry Flutters, I got this. I am Equestria's number one flyer after all!" Rainbow retorted, even cockier than ever now that she knew Fluttershy was getting worried about her.
Everything was going smoothly and the plan was starting to come together:
Step 1) Convince Fluttershy to come on a picnic with you
Step 2) Light chit chat. MAKE HER LAUGH
Step 3) SUPRESS YOUR WINGS WHEN SHE LAUGHS
Step 4) Impress her with your wicked sick tricks
Step 5) Make her worry for your safety
Step 6) Get all that lovey dovey malarkey outta the way and KISS THE DAMN MARE
Now all Rainbow had to focus on was that kiss. Once she kissed Fluttershy she would leap into Rainbow's hooves and they would fly off into the sunset to do lesbian horse things and get married and live in a house on a cloud with a bunch of fillies. "Yeah," Rainbow thought to herself, "let's make THAT happen"
Fluttershy loved watching Rainbow fly. It was one of those things that made her glad she was alive, glad that she knew Rainbow well enough to even get a glimpse of her flying. The way that she cut through the air so easily was astonishing. Fluttershy loved watching Rainbow fly.
She loved lots of other stuff about Rainbow too. She loved the way she always stood up for her, the way she flicks her hair before taking off, she loved how amazing and beautiful and funny Rainbow was, and how oblivious she was to any sexual inuendo, but most of all, out of everything she loved about Dashie, she loved her the most. Fluttershy could never tell Dashie though, she couldn't do that to their friendship.
What if Rainbow didn't feel the sameway and wanted to stop being friends? Or even worse, if Rainbow felt the same but it didnt work out and she never spoke to Fluttershy again. It would kill her, having what she wants most in the world only to be able to sit and watch as it gets wrenched out of your life forever, tearing apart your heart and soul in the process. No, she wouldn't allow that to happen. She resolved a long time ago to just sit back and wait for these feelings to pass. "This too shall pass" she kept reminding herself. Oh Celestia why wouldn't it pass?
"You ready for this Flutters?!" Rainbow screamed down to Fluttershy as she began her acent to the clouds. "This is it" She whispered. Everything was going amazingly, at this rate it's almost certain that Rainbow will get to fulfill her fantasy of being with Fluttershy. All she had to focus on now was that kiss. That's all that matters. "Here it comes, Shy!" She yelled. "A sonic rainboom!"
In a flash Rainbow was hurtling towards the ground at breakneck speed. Every she got faster and faster, even her skin was starting to stretch with the speed. Her wings outstreched, her muzzle scrunched, and her hoof out like Supercolt, the rainboom was in her sights. Just a little more and she would fill the sky with beautiful rainbows, glistening against the sunset; the perfect conditions for the first kiss of the rest of her life. She could feel it, the barrier was almost broken and...
BOOOOOOM!!!!
That slight moment of distraction sent Rainbow careening off course. spiralling out of control she tried to regain composure but she was going to fast, her wings had snapped shut against the air resistance and she let out a scream of terror as she nose dived straight towards the green, soon to be blue, field below like a splodge of jam falling onto your kitchen floor.
"DASHIE NO!" Fluttershy shrieked as she saw her best friend plummet to the earth in a mushroom cloud of dirt and cyan feathers a mile high. As soon as Dashie hit the floor Fluttershy bolted towards the crash site screaming for her freind, begging for a reply. Panicked and nervous at what lay ahead she hesitated but powered on. "Come on Dashie please be ok." A sigh of relief bellowed out of Fluttershy's body when she arrived at the 20 foot crater in the earth to see, not a pile of blue and red goo, but, a disgruntled Rainbow Dash rubbing the sore spot on her head.
"Stupid bang" she muttered under her breath, Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle. "it's not funny, Shy. That stupid bang ruined everything" Snapped Rainbow, who was more than a little annoyed. "Where the bloody hell did it even come from?"
"I don't know, I think it came from Sweet Apple Acres but that can't be right. Can it?" asked Fluttershy, doubting that Applejack could have set off such a loud bang."
"I'm not sure Flutters"
"I hope they're all ok over there, that bang sounded pretty dangerous" Fluttershy Fretted
"Me too Flutters but what I just did was pretty dangerous too and I know that I'm not 'all ok'." Rainow moaned, "I think I twisted my hoof as well as knocked my noggin"
"Oh Dashie, is it ok? Can you still walk? Fluttershy gulped, worried that Rainbow might be seriously injured. If she couldn't walk on it then it may be broken and she would need to see Nurse Redheart but Fluttershy couldn't leave Dashie here on her own.
"Oh my god!" She thought to herself, "What if Dashie can never walk again! That would be terrible, she would never be able to live out her dream of being a wonderbolt!" Tears started to well up in Fluttershy's eyes as she thought of how soul crushing it would be for Dashie if she couldn't be a wonderbolt because of this.
"Oh dear god it would be horrible!" She blubbered.
"What would be horrible Flut- Wait.... why are you crying?" Dash questioned. "Fluttershy what's wrong, why are you crying?"
"BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER BE A WONDERBOLT!" She wailed, flinging herself onto Dashies chest. Soaking her cyan coat with her tears. "YOU'LL NEVER BE ONE AND IT WILL CRUSH YOUR SOUL AND YOU'LL BE SOOO SAD ALL THE TIME AND THAT'LL MAKE ME SAD AND OH DEAR CELESTIA WHY HER?! TAKE ME INSTEAD!" Her screams were slightly muffled in Rainbow's wet chest. Only slightly muffled.
"Well that's a bit harsh" Rainbow mumbled. She was very clearly hurt by her friend's 'kind and supportive' words. "I may not be at thier level but I am pretty good, jeez"
"No you don't understand, your leg is broken and you'll never be able to walk again! Whaaahaahaa!" Flutterhy cried.
"You dunderhead, it's not broken. I just sprained it, see?"
"S-so *sniff* you mean you are going to be able to join the W-*sniff*-wonderbolts?" Whimpered Fluttershy.
"Of course I am! I'm Rainbow Dash!" Rainboe chuckled " Now dry your eyes, Flutters. I can't stand seeing you cry."
"*sniff* Ok-kay then" Fluttershy said, smiling a little bit now. "We should probably get over to Sweet Apple Acres if you're feeling ok, AJ may be be hurt too"
"Right, good idea Flutters. If it did come from there they may need some help cleaning up and you're juts the pony to help with that chore"
"Wait, wha-"
"Let's go!" Dashie shouted as she took off for Sweet Apple Acres, Fluttershy not far behind.
Author's Note
Hey there, this is my first published story. It's a little rough around the edges (Ok it's VERY rough around the edges) but I like it and I'm quite proud. I'll update whenever I can, it really depends if people like it or not. If people do like it then I'll try and update it regurlarly. If they don't like it then I'll still update it but it'll just be for me I guess. I hope you enjoy it, Chocolina will make a debut next chapter in case you were wondering. It should be good! :D
