the shooting

It has been a week since it happened. The school just reopened and going on as usual. Security was raised. And no matter how many times she tried, she couldn’t get the memory out of her head. The look of pain in his eyes, the gun, her final words, “I can’t take it anymore.” Rainbow Dash tried her best to forget but could not.
It wasn’t her fault, but she felt as if it was. It was one of her friends fault.

2 weeks earlier.
A party was being thrown at Gilda’s house. The bass blasting, ponies grinding and dancing, Rainbow Dash was trying to stand her ground against her teammate. Gilda gave the two another shot of Jack Daniels. Dash took her final sip while her teammate fell under the table. "Woo hoo. Nopony can drink me under the table." Dash shouted, a big grin spread across her face. she made her way to the dance floor. Her good friend Dj Pon3 was takin request and was now playing her famous song. A bubble pink pony was dancing like crazy. Everypony was having a good time.
Then all went quite.
Making her way to the front door, Dash found that everpony was staring at a pure white unicorn.
"Why the hell are you here?! Nopony called for a hooker!"
The crowed busted out laughing from the drunk pony's remark. The filly ran out tears coming from her eyes. Dash just stood there. She knew about the bullying problem but didn’t know what to do. She just made her way to the kitchen. She continued with the party.

Dash entered school that day, that faithful day. Gilda was dreading the test in math. They walked down the hallway, but were soon stopped as the saw the unicorn standing in the hallway. The same one from the party. Her eyes were bloodshot. Filled with hate. Gilda ignored her but Dash stopped.

The filly reached into her bag. She chuckled, revealing a mark XIX desert eagle. She pointed it up and shot four rounds. Some ponies fell with terror in their eyes, some ran out. The white filly looked around amused. Dash slowly got up and made her way to the crazed pony. She pointed the gun to Dash. "J-just calm down. there is no need for this." The mare just stared at her. "If you put the gun down, all of this will be forgotten. Just calm down. Alright?"
By this time Golden Heart, the security guard entered the hall and noticed the two mares. The white mare noticed him first and pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger. He fell in an instant.

That’s when Dash panicked. “W-what’s your name?” she asked. The mare pointed the gun back at dash. “Why do you care? All you ever done was harassed me and made me feel like shit.” The mare growled. “If you even cared you would have asked.” “L-listen,” Dash began, “you don’t have to do this.” The filly looked deep into Dash’s eyes “I have to,” she began “I can’t take it anymore.” She lifted the gun to her chin, the barrel end facing her head and pulled the trigger a final time.
Dash stood there, shocked. She stared at the body. Soon the police came and evacuated the school.

Gilda nudged Rainbow. "Hey atleast we don't have to take that math test right" Gilda chuckled." Dash just stared at her. "Are you even bothered that one of our friends just killed them self?" "Dash, she was never our friend." "So what, we could have stoped this." "Geez Dash, you act like she was your best friend. Chill." Gilda then flew off. "See you at the next Junor Speedsters game right."

The ambulance soon came and took the filly and Golden Heart’s bodies away. Four ponies surrounded it. Three were white like the dead mare. The other was a brown pegasus with black hair and blue high lights. The young white colt looked to his mother. “When will Snow Blast come back?” he mumbled. The colt’s father picked him up and took him to the car. The two mares stayed.
Just as the pegasus was about to leave the white mare called her down. “Night Slash. Did Snow Blast say anything unusual to you lately?” the mare called. Night Slash just stared at her and shook her head. Then she flew off.

'Snow Blast', Dash thought. She shook her head and started home. She looked back and stared at the school. 'Snow, if you’re listening. I will promise you this. I will never let it happen again.' Then she flew off and went home.

Today
Dash walked though the school. Gilda walked beside her. "thanks to that little incident we had to forfit the game last week." Gilda comlained. "i don't see why we had to though." Dash just looked at her. Gilda noticed the stare she was geting from Rainbow and rolled her eyes. "Dash you got to forget about this. You didn't even know her." "So what. You're the one who isn't even fazed by the fact that somepony in this school just killed themself." "And your point is. Dash, she was a nopony. Get over it." The bell rang before Dash could defend the decised pony. "Got to go Dash. You know how Mrs.Osborn hates it when I am late." And with that Gilda flew off. Leaving the angered Dash to head back to class alone.

Dash, entered her hoomroom and sat in the back. She sighed. That's when a yellow peagasus walked in and looked around confused. Dash didn't remember her, then again she usualy slept through science. The filly walked to the back and sat next to Dash. She looked over to see she was getting weird stares. Slowly she slipped lower into her seat. Dash just rolled her eyes and rested her head on her hooves. Mrs. Brutosky started to take role call. "Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Night Slash, Sweet Note." She stopped on a new name added to the list. "Futtersly?" The filly next to Dash raised her hand slightly. "Here."
