Good is the New Bad

It's break time in Canterlot High.The six friends were in the Cafeteria,talking and chatting about some stuff that happened to them on that day and several stories about on the other day.

"Oh my god,I can't believe that Applejack wore Rarity's fancy dresses!" Rainbow teased Applejack,laughing so hard. "Even before I imagined it,I already know what it actually looks like! Bahahaha!".Applejack blushed furiously in total embarrassment.

"Now,now,Applejack darling," Rarity said,trying to calm Applejack down as she sipped her tea. "It's Rainbow Dash being Rainbow Dash,there's nothing to be ashamed of! We're all girls here,and I bet that she wears one of Pinkie's pink dresses with ribbons,".

Rainbow Dash stopped laughing,staring at Rarity seriously.Rarity raised one eyebrow."What? Aren't it was the truth? We're all girls here,and I do believe that you..wear one of Pinkie Pie's clothes,right?" Rarity said,innocently without any regrets or embarassment as she sipped her tea again.

Rainbow twitched her left eye.She was about to stand at Rarity,but quickly interrupted by her girlfriend."Aww,c'mon Dashie!" Pinkie said cheerfully,calming her girlfriend. "It's alright! I mean,you do wear one of my clothes.." Pinkie said,looking on the other direction while Rainbow Dash blushed. "Especially the one with the lacey,pink and full of ribbons ones,".

Applejack quickly laughed so hard,much louder than Rainbow Dash.While Rarity giggled softly as a normal lady.They all have such a great time chatting and interacting with each other happily.And there,Sunset and Twilight were together,with Twilight on Sunset's arm and putting her forehead on Sunset's shoulder.They seemed to ignore Fluttershy's absence..until Flash Sentry interrupted them.

"Hey girls," Flash Sentry stood there,greeting them all.They all looked at Flash Sentry,that has been looking at Twilight for a while. "Have any of you seen Fluttershy?".

When Flash mentioned her name,everyone of the Rainbooms finally realized that Fluttershy was absent that day.Well,Sunset somehow felt something beaked her heart,thinking that she was the reason why Fluttershy was not schooling that day.

"Fluttershy?" Sunset quickly replied,a little sweaty. "No,why?".Suddenly,a bell rang in Rarity's brain."Are you both dating?" she asked,wide eyes.In that silent and awkward moment,Flash Sentry quickly blushed as the others were looking at him.

"What? No,no," Flash Sentry quickly replied,yet blushing."We don't have a single relationship,or even dating,".Slowly,Sunset stood up to him.

"Then,why are you looking for her? You both are not hiding anything from us,are you?" Sunset asked,crossing her arms with a little angry expression on her face.

"Well,we actually started to be close friends lately," Flash smiled sheepishly,blushing."But,we're not dating!".

Sunset sigh,she put a hand on her forehead and put her hand away after that."No,my original question is - Why are you looking for her?".

Flash raised an eyebrow in a little anger."Didn't I just said that we're starting to be close friends?".

Sunset raised her eyebrow,too."Yeah,why?" she asked,not even realizing that Flash is worried about Fluttershy's absence.

"That's just it." Flash said,looking down.Sunset was a bit of surprised. "I'm her close friend,and I'm worried about her absence,Sunset."

"Her close friend

Close friend

Friend"

Those words are repeating in the 5 girls' head as they realized that they were Fluttershy's friends and they are not worried about Fluttershy's absence at all.In that moment,Flash look at each girls.

"Oookaaay," Flash rubbed his neck in awkwardness. "I'll be going now,alright? Good day,girls!" He said,walking away,leaving the 5 girls and the newest Wondercolt student behind.The girls,who were there,sitting,continued eating their lunch while Sunset who was standing,shook her head,blinking and then return to her seat and continue eating her lunch.

Meanwhile,in Fluttershy's house..

Fluttershy blinked her eyes,slowly get up from her bed,shivering after she was stretching.Fluttershy looked at the time in her phone.It's already 10:54 AM. She sighed,stretching her body once again and yawned.Suddenly,three soft knocks came to the door with Fluttershy's mother,Sterling's (Princess Sterling in Equestria) voice."Fluttershy,dear? Are you alright in there?" Sterling asked her daughter in a little concern.

Fluttershy blink for about 5 times,and then she let out a soft sigh.She replied to her mother's question."Yes,yes I am,mother.." she replied in a very weak yet she still sounds so sleepy.After the response from her daughter,Sterling scratched her head and then,she let out an awkward smile.

"So.." Sterling said.

"What is it,mother?" Fluttershy answered,slowly lifting her head and her body to her bed.

"Aren't you are going to school today?" She asked her daughter.

"Hmn..No..I,guess.." Fluttershy quickly answered,she sounds like she doesn't feel anything about schooling she just wants to stay in her bedroom and sleep.

"Why? I mean,your friends are probably worried of-" Before Sterling could finish her line,she was quickly interrupted by her daughter's respond.

"My friends are NOT worried about me,mother." Fluttershy let out another sigh. "I'm pretty sure that they're just fine there..".

Sterling tilted her head in confusion,suddenly she remembered one of Fluttershy's close friends."Well,I do feel like someone does worried about you~".

Fluttershy looked at the wall and blinked."Let me guess..Is it you?".After she answered that,she heard her mother's soft giggle.

"No,of course my dearest daughter," Sterling smiled warmly,holding her daughter's room door knob.Fluttershy quickly sat up,blinking again,but this time,she's confused.

"Then..Who is it?".

Sterling slowly opened her daughter's bedroom,smiling warmly."Who else then..Flash Sentry?" Sterling said,as she open the door of her daughter's bedroom.Fluttershy blushed after what her mother just told her.

"Wh-what?" Fluttershy asked as her mother entered her daughter's bedroom.

"Aren't it's true?" Sterling said as she walked into Fluttershy's bedroom."I mean,Flash Sentry happened to be one of your close friends on the other day,".

Fluttershy blinked slowly as she blushed."Uhm,y-yes,but..Uhm..".

"But what?"

"H-He's not my boyfriend! We're just normal close friends!" Fluttershy shouted softly like a Tsundere.

Sterling blinked in confusion. "What? When did I say that he's your boyfriend? I just said that he might be worried about you,dearie."

Fluttershy looked at her mother in embarassment.Her mother giggled softly.

"You really remind me of your sister," Sterling said,rubbing her daughter's head with a warm smile.Fluttershy looked at her mother."You remember her? Sunny Rays?" Sterling asked her daughter.

"Of course I do,she's my sister," Fluttershy looked at hands. "And,she's also my very first best friend,why did she need to be the first one to go? She's just..Just..Still young.." Fluttershy said,with teary eyes and sad antonnation with small and soft voice.

Sterling looked at her daughter and hugged her in comfort."Only the powerful God knows.." Sterling said,wiping her daughter's tears.Sterling smiled,holding her daughter's chin."But,you should be proud of yourself that you're still alive and young,you have your friends,too." Sterling said,pulling her hands away from her daughter's chin.

"Yeah,'Friends'.." Fluttershy frowned,rolling her eyes without her mother noticing."I'm sure that's fine..They're just..happy," She faked a smile.Sterling smiled,looking at her daughter.

"Sunset will notice how you exactly felt about her since you've reformed her," Sterling said,as she stood up from her daughter's bed."Anyways,when will you start schooling again? If you keep staying at home,your reputation will went down,right?"

"Yes,I know..I'll start schooling the day after tomorrow.." She said,hugging her bunny plushy.Her mother smiled and left her in her bedroom.After her mothet left her room,Fluttershy continue to sleep.
