Admit it
Confusion
Load Full StoryNext ChapterRainbow Dash zipped through the air, ice crystallizing on her mane as a mark of how fast she was flying, despite the balmy sun hanging in the air. "TWILIGHT!!!!!!" Rainbow screeched, her voice reverberating as if she was talking through a fan. As she narrowly avoided knocking down Twilight's door (Again) as she landed on the grass.Twilight's familiar, carefully maintained mane slowly poked out of the window beside the door that still bore the faint outline of Rainbow Dash crashing through it. "Rainbow Dash..." she sighed. "What now?" Rainbow's hooves shuffled around nervously as she gasped, and it was not because of the strenuous flight, "AppleJack is gone!" Twilight's eyes betrayed a flicker of fear, but then became blank and expressionless. "So." she said monotonously.
Rainbow glared at her in incredulously. "So?! Let me repeat, Apple. Jack. IS. GONE!" Twilight stared at her as if she was a filly sitter watching a two year old throw a tantrum over a red crayon. Rainbow felt uncertainty creep into her. Twilight was the most logical, and if Twi did not worry, should she? But those blank expressionless eyes alerted her that something was wrong. She shook it off, it just might be a late study night. she smiled slightly, remembering Cheerlie's look of horror as she reviewed each of Rainbow's papers, then took out her red pen, always drawing two horizontal lines attached to one vertical one. "All right, I'm just, you know, angry because she missed my training session with her." Rainbow Dash huffed.
Twilight shook her head, retreating into the library.
As her hooves hit the pavement in front of the boutique, Rarity pranced out, seemingly aware that Rainbow would arrive to see her. Rainbow's face had the trace of a pained grimace. Surely Rarity would take her seriously, even though they didn't get along perfectly... "Rainbow, darling, Applejack's-" Rarity paused, considering her choice of words carefully, lest she make a mistake." -absence is simply because she has some work to do." Rarity's hoof flew to her mouth, realizing that she had made a mistake talking too soon. "How did you know what I was going to say?" Rarity cringed, and twirled around, daintily walking back into the boutique, calling over her shoulder, "I...I... invited her-"- It looked like it took a great deal of courage to say that- "to the boutique, and she told..well...I..." Rarity retreated into the boutique, never finishing her sentence. Rainbow shrugged her shoulders and flew off, barely hearing Rarity's sigh of relief.
As she landed on the soft grass that blanketed Fluttershy's land, animals retreated,as Rainbow watched, amazed about how shy Fluttershy kept the weirdest save for Angel, which Rainbow patted , as she felt a connection to the feisty bunny. "Why, hello Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said, sounding monotonous. "Fluttershy, listen.." Fluttershy nodded, cutting Rainbow off. "I know, Twilight told me." "Apple-- wait, WHAT?!" Something was clearly going on without her. "I never really liked her anyway." whispered Fluttershy. Rainbow recoiled, then pumped her wings, sending her straight up into the clouds. "What is going on?" Thought Rainbow Dash as tears streamed down her cheeks.
