Chapter 3: Keeping a secret

Previous Chapter

After sleeping for 9 hours, Rainbow Dash went home. She didn't know what to think of herself after she almost ruined Twilight's date. When she got home, she went straight to her bedroom. She kept trying to cry, but just couldn't. She felt really horrible, but it was for Twilight's own protection. Even though she can protect herself. Rainbow Dash then hears a pony knocking. She opened the door, and it was Twilight Sky. She thought that he had found out that she went to their date. So she just said something casual...

"Sup, Twi Sky. What ya doing here?"

"I thought, since we're neighbors, if you could maybe, let me borrow some milk?"

"Wait, we're neighbors!?!?"

"Yep. Just got finished moving in. Now, how about that milk?"

Rainbow Dash's face is in shock as she nods yes. She goes to get a gallon of milk to bring to him.

"Here you go."

"Thanks. I'm very appreciative. Also, do you know the blue pegasus that ruined me and Twilight's date by any chance?"

"(gulps quietly) Nope."

"OK. Just asking."

Twilight Sky flies away back to his house and Rainbow Dash shuts the door.

"Phew. That was close. If I said it was me?! Imagine the trouble I'd be in right now..." (Shutters)

Rainbow Dash decides to get over on what she did, and go outside! But soon finds herself on a train to the Crystal Empire. What was she doing on the train? She was going to ask Cadence to actually make Twilight Sky a loving stallion that doesn't cheat, doesn't poison, and most certainly, doesn't hurt her feelings. She doesn't want Twilight to feel hurt if they break up. So, that's why she's on the train. When she got to the Crystal Empire, they were doing a celebration.

She thought to herself, "Why are they doing a celebration?"

She walks up there to see what the celebration is about, and Twilight was up there! They were congratulating her for being a Princess for 3 years! Rainbow was REALLY nervous when she saw Twi. She was thinking, "Go up there, and tell Cadence!" But, she was also thinking, "Don't tell Cadence, Twilight's up there!" She was both confused and nervous. She decided to go back on the train, waste more of her bits, and go home. When she got to the train station in Ponyville, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were there. They all screamed...

"CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING A PRINCESS FOR 3 YEARS, TWILIGHT!!!"

"(sigh) Why are you guys saying that to me?"

All of them look and see it's Rainbow Dash.

"Oh. Sorry Rainbow. We thought you were Twi." Says Applejack as she blushes.

"It's OK."

Rainbow Dash walks away with her head pointing down. Rarity look and taps the others to get their attention that Rainbow Dash looks sad. They all run towards her.

"Rainbow Dash darling, why are you so sad?"

"I'm not sad, Rarity."

"Then why is your muzzle pointed towards the ground?"

"I'm disappointed in myself."

"Why? May I ask?"

"Because I ruined Twilight's date last night."

"WHAT?!?! TWILIGHT SPARKLE GOT A DATE BEFORE ME?!?!"

The others look at Rarity.

"I mean, how did you ruin her date?"

"I dressed up like a different pony to try and get Twilight Sky from doing anything wrong."

Fluttershy looks at Rainbow.

"Isn't that the pony who messed up in the wonderbolts?"

"Yes, Fluttershy. It is. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta get back to my bed, and wallow."

Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy all felt bad because of why Rainbow Dash is sad. They've never saw her that sad before. Then, they hear the train stop.

"Everypony, Take ur places!"

Twilight stepped out of the train.

"CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING A PRINCESS FOR 3 YEARS, TWILIGHT!!!!"

"Awww thank you girls! Where is Rainbow Dash?"

"Um, she's back in bed, with a cold."

"Oh. I hope she feels better soon. And thank you again for saying that to me. It was really thoughtful."

"Your welcome, Princess of Friendship."

(Giggles)

Rainbow Dash went to her bed and started crying. She had never been this emotional before. But nothing hurts more than feeling guilty of another friends things, or ponies. She finally stopped crying, and went to get something to eat out of the fridge.
