Chapter 1 The beginning

Rainbow Dash was walking down the streets of ponyville when once again she saw her friend  Twilight Sparkle buying some apples from Apple Jack's stand in the market and she suddenly felt a weird feeling in her stomach it was a kinda light headed  feeling in her stomach. and her wings felt kinda werid she thought maybe she was just tired from all the flying training she just got done doing so she just decided that she would just go home and sleep for a hour or two and see if that would fix her problem.

After she flew off to her house to go sleep, Apple Jack said "was that Rainbow That just flew off she didn't even stop by thats not like  her at all she at least wave when she knows im lookin"

Well maybe she was just in a hurry and didn't think of waving she has been very busy lately with all of her training for her new stunts that she is gonna perform for the Wonderbolts or whatever she is trying to do now replied Twilight

Meanwhile at PINKIE"S  Wow what kinda party should i plan for now i mean it has been the 1st year at ponyville  i could throw a celebration party for Twilight that way she can get all of ponyville together and when can have fun and share in everyone's fun, But then again maybe i should just ask her what she thinks OOH maybe it can be a suprise party and not tell her so she wont know it will be such fun to see the joy   on her face when i take off the blindfold and she see's that everypony actually cares about her and wants her here and it will give you to talk to her what do you think Rainbow Dash?

I don't know what to think really Pinkie  explained Rainbow Dash i mean its kind of personal what i need to talk to her about so i dont know if a party will be a good idea to talk to her privately so im not sure.

Ok but if you change your mind then you know who to talk to.

Thanks pinkie your a good friend and if i need a party your defenitaly the right person to talk to your the best at party's some might even be the master at them.

Chapter 2

Hey have you even seen Rainbow Dash lately has she  been sick or just not talking to anypony because i haven't seen her lately and i cant think of why she would be avoiding me so why would she not want to talk to me i mean i am her friend right? asked Twilight.

Honey im sure that she isn't avoiding you she just might not feel like reading books at the moment so she just hasn't come to call and yes to answer your question we all have seen her she has bought apples from me she has talked with pinkie about some of her new recipes she has helped rarity with her clothing and she helped Fluttershy with tracking down a animal she just hasn't seen you lately but dont worry she is fine and im sure that she will come by your place soon she always does in the end hon Said Apple Jack Trying to help her poor friend with her worry over why Rainbow Dash hasn't been talking to her or visiting her.

At Rainbow Dashes cloud house she was wondering "i mean i feel better but i dont think i was tired i mean who gets a light feeling in their stomach from training at flying i mean sure aching in the wings but a light feeling in their stomach i dont think thats how it works maybe it's not  from being tired  maybe i can just go down to the library and look up pegasus illnessess and see if that helps and i will get to see twilight when im down there i haven't seen her in almost two days i wonder if she has missed me or if she is too busy reading her books to even notice that i haven't visited her at all maybe she thinks im mad at her i hope not she is a good friend and i dont want her to think that i hate her or anything that would be awful .

Apple jack was at her concession stand down in ponyville when Rainbow Dash came flying down really fast and landed in front of her "well howdy there do you always have to be in  a rush to go so fast your gonna hurt and that won't be  good hon at all now have you been by Twilight's lately she has been asking about you and i didn't know what to tell her i knew that you have been helping everypony else and i didn't know if you were avoiding her or not so i just told her that you have been busy with everyone else and that im sure you will visit her soon and that your not mad im sure and that she shouldn't worry because im sure you not mad.

Well  thats EXACTLY why i came by here to see if she has been worried about me or not i hoped that she was so busy with her books that she  might not notice that i haven't been by her place to go hang out with her but no im not mad its just that i haven't been by yet so i will go check on her  besides  i was gonna go by there anyway to see her and go check out a book to hang out with her and read while she does her egghead stuff so i guess i will get going now.

Chapter 4 What!?

What did she say Thought rainbow dash what did she just say i think she just said that she loves me did she mean as a friend or the other definiton   of love the one that involves a marefriend  i mean is love even real or is it just fake made up of lies by other ponies maybe its just a fake expression for people that just like each other and want to act like its a deep caring for his or her friend i mean who ever said that love is real its probably a miss understanding i mean i dont feel for twilight like that do i?

Meanwhile ... Twilight was wondering why Dash looked so confused and bemused was it because i  said love her she doesn't think i mean as in REAL love right? I mean that must be a real big misunderstanding  True love doesn't exist there is no proof that it exists no scientific proof at all  it's just a expression of real caring i mean how could she possibly think that i meant that kind of love im gonna ask her what is wrong with her "Hey Rainbow Dash are you okay you look kinda confused what is wrong

Nothing i just need to borrow a book do you have a book about pegasus social lives if so can i borrow it and go to my cloud house and see if it has what im looking for

Sure thing Dash you can borrow this one if someone ever asks you  what the ID# is it's 876532 ok?

Alright thanks Twilight  your a really great friend sorry that today didn't work out i'll hang out with you later?

SO off Rainbow dash went to her cloud house and went to her living room to go read the book labaled Pegasus Social lives and Other conditons.

Chapter 12 a Pegasus social condition's part one Love

(When a adolescent pegasus is in love he or she might experience a light sensation in her stomach the sensation disappears after a few hours though if she/he  see's the mare or stallion that they are in love with then they may experience the same light feeling in their stomach. some may or may not realize that they are in love so they  might put it off as something else  that might cause the same symtoms,)

but that means that i might be in love but love isn't real it's just a excuse to run off and marry somepony and declare everlasting love for them i thought that books dont lie or do they? i mean where is the proof that books are always truthful? there isn't a law that says that nopony can lie and put false things into a book i mean you can't plagurize sompony else's work but putting lies into books,

Chapter 13 Denial  (if you are reading this then you are most likely wondering if love is real and you are doubting this book's knowledge and thinking that we are lying and that love is not real however we have already helped others and we are going to help you find the signs

You think that we are lying  about love and that it is not real

You dont think your in love so your in complete denial

obviously you ARE in denial because first off you are reading this chapter second off your reading the signs of denial to see if you are in denial)

But love CANT be true its all fake im not in denial i know im right i bet if i ask Twilight she will agree and  she is the smartest pony i have ever known.

Chapter 5 IT CANT BE TRUE

Twilight was busy in her library looking up a book when she heard the door knock opening it she saw rainbow dash standing there looking very annoyed  as twilight let her in rainbow dash started talking

Twilight love isn't real is it mean there is no scientific proof that love is real right its just a expression that ponies use to marry off someone and have a happy life  with them and raise a family . I'm right arn't i i mean love isn't real?

I dont know Rainbow Dash i mean there is no scientific proof that loves does exist yet most of the adult population in  equestria says that they heve experienced it and that there is such thing as true love but i dont believe that it's real because i have seen NO scientific fact what so ever and i dont think i have ever experienced it, the only type of love i believe in is in studyies and objects like i love magic   and i love books but i dont believe in love for anything else i mean where is the proof that it exists?

Then you agree with me that love isn't real that it is fake and that it never has and never will exist there is no proof that it exists no scientific proof it  exist's

Well im not saying it doesn't exist i just dont believe in it Rainbow Dash thats all besides why are you so interested in this subject anyway besides why does it matter if love exists.

Well it's that book that i borrowed it says that pegasi may fall in love and i dont think that love is real but then i read the chapter about denial and i had all the signs that i have or am in love and that im just denying it because i dont want to believe it it also explained one of my symptoms that

i had it said that is a sign that may happen when a pegusus falls in love but i just dont believe that it's real.

Well maybe its time to face the facts that you may or may not be in love and that love may or may not exists not everything they put

in books is true there is no law that someone cant lie your not supposed to plagurize other's stories THAT is against the law but lying about pegusus conditons.. wait you might be in love with who???

IM NOT IN LOVE look im just gonna come back later and turn this book in because i have not finished it.

Chapter 6 The book

Apple jack was selling some of her apples at her concession stand when Twilight came up to her and told her that Rainbow Dash might be in love.

With who?

Im not sure but she came to my library checked out a book called pegusus social conditions and then came back to my library an hour later asking if love is real i told her that i dont know but i personally dont believe in it and she seemed relieved but then she said that in the book that she was reading it said that she is in denial and she said that she showed ALL the signs that she is or has been in love so she said that the book is a lie,

i reassured her that not all books are true and that people can lie in books and they wont get in trouble but she said that the book even said that most people that read that book have found out that they actually are in love and most of them if the didnt chicken out or get rejected have actually found true love and live with their special pony in happiness. after she told me that she said that there is no proof that love is real and that im the smartest pony she knows and even i dont believe love is real then she told me she experienced the symptoms that pegusi experience when they fall in love when i asked her who she is in love with,

she then  yelled at me that she is not in love and that love is not real then she told me that she has not finished the book and she will bring it back when she is done then she left.

well hon it sounds like she is just confused lets not make assumptions maybe she is just really tired from her training and she is so exhausted that she just cant think straight besides not to be rude but is it really your business if she is in love thats private and if she doesn't want to know then you dont need to know... now how about we pack up shop and go to my place and eat some apple pies while we sip apple cider and get our mind off of this.

(Back at Rainbow Dashes House)  Chapter 15 What to do now that you realize that your in love.

Part one. (Well now that you realize that you are in love you need to decide what to do now that you realize who your special somepony is,are you going to 1. ask him/her out

be disgusted that you like this person

do nothing

pledge your undying love for them and beg them to have you)

Huh well i guess im just gonna have to go along with the fact that love may be real although i dont know who im in love with i mean i dont even think about anypony around here like that.

i ADMIRE the wonderbolts but i dont love them i just want to join their team, and fly with the rest of them so that everypony can see how awesome i am.... besides i dont have time to worry about love i just want to be the fastest flier in all of equestria and being in love wont do anything but slow me down i dont want to be in love and i dont need to be in love my wings are the only things i need everything else is just back ground noise..

but what am i gonna do when i do become the fastest flier in equestria nopony wants to hang out with a arrogant pegusus that thinks she is better than everone else...... am i in love? i dont know this is all very confusing for me i need to figure this out or i will never be able to think straight until i do.

it will distract me from everything else that i try including my training and then if it doesn't stop me from getting in to the wonderbolts i still will need to keep up with THEIR training and after that i will need to impress the princess so i must figure out what is going on here.... so how do i figure out who i am in love with?

Chapter 7 Acceptance

Rainbow Dash was at her house trying to figure out who she in love with...   Well it can't be fluttershy because i have never felt that way towards her i mean yeah she is a close friend but thats because we grew up together in cloudsdale and i saved her from a race earning my cutiemark and  performing the legendary sonic rainboom i also helped all the other ponies earn their cutie marks

i made Pinkie happy and she discovered her's i made rarity discover her gems and earn hers i knocked fluttershy to the ground and she earned  hers apple jack saw my rainboom and earned hers twilight saw my rainboom and was able to perform her magic to pass her class. but who have i ever felt any attraction to it cant be pinkie she is to hyper and it cant be rarity or fluttershy so it has to be either apple jack or Twilight but which one is it...

i

guess i will just have to try and find out... so i guess i better go and try and find out what to do i'll go visit apple jack first i have known her for the longest amount of time so it will most likely be her besides she is the kind of girl i can get to know and spend a lot of time with..

Down at Sweet apple orchard applejack was bucking apples when Rainbow Dash came up to her and asked her if she believed in love

I do believe in love Rainbow because love is real thing sure there is no proof but yes i believe in love and i think that its weird how you are so interested in love all the sudden i mean why are you so interested in love anyway have you been reading another one of those romance novels again or something because Twilight has told me you have been asking about that subject ALOT lately and that she doesn't know why you have she said its because of some book or something.

Well yeah i have been  reading a pegusus social conditons book but thats not inportent have i ever acted kinda wierd towards you llke when you hug me or something it's importent.

Well that will be kinda hard to tell because  we have been through so much together that it would be very difficult for me to remember lets see..... well you have always had a real spirit of competiton  with me but that might just be because i've never backed down from a good challenge and i offer you real competition  and i would always execpt a rematch from you like that time when me and you were in the race and we were challeging each other to win the race and twilight beat both of us even though she is just a bookworm she said that she won by conserving her strength we were both so disappointed that she beat us and when celestia told us that the trees were not even finished we both went back alone and knocked all the tree's down but i've always found you funny like that time when Princess Celestia came into town with her phoenix and you were trying to make the royal guards laugh by making funny faces and when that didn't work you asked a favor of the phoenix and she started tickleing their muzzles with her wings and they started laughing so we all busted out laughing even Princess Celestia.

then their was the time when twilight invited everyone to watch the meteor shower and you told her she must be so lucky to have a personal assisstant to do things for you and scootaloo told you she would and you just said alright pipsqeueek and to take out the trash but besides that no i cant remember you ever acting werid around me.

OK but i gotta go it was nice to talk to you i'm gonna go ask twilight if she has ever had me act weird around her

Ok well then see ya dash.....

AT twilight's house....

Hey twilight can i ask you a question

Sure

Ok have i ever seemed to act werid around you

Yes you have done it all the time and honestly what is with all the questions anyway i mean ever since that day when i was at applejacks stand you  have acted weird around everyone i mean what with the book and since that you have been asking all these questions

Well its because love must be real and  i think that it has to involve someone in our little group and it can be Pinkie or Flutter shy Neither rarity so it has to be either you or applejack and i dont think that its applejack  because i asked her the question and she only said two times  i have ever acted weird so it has to be  the other option so i was gonna ask you if maybe you knew what this means i mean i dont know if you like me i am scared to admit my feelings and get rejected so if you could break it down for me easy and put me down easy that would be better so i dont have emotional trauma.

Wait you like me do you know what that means it means

that you are  a lesbian

you like me 3.

i also like you and have always admired the way you are headstrong smart AND athletic i have had a crush on you for this entire year and when you accused me of being a spy it hurt i used to not believe in love at first sight but it must be true because it was true for me. the real question should be not if u love someone but who you love do u love someone else rainbow or do u love me?

I...I dont know twilight i mean its all happening so fast and i dont know if i really can love......... I'll see you around

Chapter 3

Twilight was reading some of her favorite daring do books when Rainbow Dash flew into her library and started to talk "Twilight i know i havn't been  by latlely to see you but i promise you im not mad at you  i hope your not mad at me and i hope i can make up for it right now by hanging out with you if you are mad at me then i understand.

Of course i'm not mad at you Rainbow Dash said Twilight   i understand that your busy with your flying and all that and besides im a quiet person that gets involved in my books i hardly noticed that you didn't come by anyway.

Well you dont have to lie to me Twilight i have already talked to apple jack who has talked to you and she said you were worried that i was mad at you and that i was avoiding you so i KNOW that you noticed i mean apple jack wouldn't lie to me she is the element of honesty she always does the right thing even though it may not be the easiest thing in the world to do so i trust her completely with  anything that i ask her about even when she tries to keep secrets from me like suprise parties and presents and other things like that but i mean seriously you dont  have to lie to me twilight........ I'll just leave...

NO wait... just wait im sorry that i lied to you Rainbow Dash.

I'm not mad at you twiliight here.   Rainbow dash said as she gave twilight a hug

Aw thanks Rainbow i love you too

(Wait what?)
