Over The Rainbow

“When did this start? Why didn’t you tell us?” Twilight exclaimed, taken aback by this news.

“When I was a young filly, back in flight school, I was always made fun of” memories of the hurtful chants filled her ears, and tears welled up in her eyes “Rainbow Dash was the only one who cared for me, I had a person who I could truly call a ‘friend’. That’s all that I thought of her for the longest time, until one thing led to another and I finally realized my feelings for her, how beautiful she was with her brightly coloured mane and tail, her elegant wings, and how breath-taking she was to watch her fly…Oh Twilight! I need help!” The tears streaming down her cheeks, she lay down and buried her face in her long tail.

“Oh Fluttershy” Twilight put her arm around the neck of the pegasus, “I never knew, you hid it so well, I would have never suspected it.”  Fluttershy’s cheeks turned the brightest shade of red, “Don’t be embarrassed Fluttershy, it’s natural for some ponies to have feelings for the same gender! It doesn’t make you weird or anything, I think it makes you even more special!”

“But what will she say? Rainbow Dash could never fall in love with the slowest flyer in Equestria!”

“You’re right, you’re not the fastest flyer, but you are the kindest and most generous pony I know! Rainbow but can’t help but to notice that!” Twilight hoped that worked. It was completely true, but with Rainbow Dash, you can never know. “Fluttershy, what I’m trying to say is that you should tell Rainbow Dash. Tell her how you feel, and how it’s tearing you apart keeping the secret, she will listen.”

“But Twilight,” the sobbing pegasus choked out, “What if she doesn’t feel the same way?”

“Then it’s her loss, go give it a try Fluttershy!”

Fluttershy got up, dried her eyes and flew slowly towards the ever-so-familiar home of Rainbow Dash. Her nerves were getting the best of her as soon as she landed on the doorstep. After, what felt like an eternity, she gently knocked on the door.
