Dear Rainbow Dash,

I know that this may seem strange. A letter, from me, to you? I know that I never write you, unless you're away, or unable to speak in person. Well, I just figured that what I'm about to tell you can not be expressed in words. What I'm about to confess, is something I'm incapable of saying to your face.

Dashie, I am in love with you. I don't know what love is all that much, but I do know, that when I'm with you, you make me feel good. You make my little heart flutter in joy. When you smile, it lights up my world, especially when my world is feeling gray. The way you cheer me on, because you know that I can't fly well without a little motivation. When you help me with my animals, even though I know you hate doing it. When you laugh at my jokes, even though they're stupid. When you say how much you love my singing, even when I'm flat. How you say I'm beautiful. It makes me feel giddy. I love the way you make me feel, and the way you make me laugh, love myself, love me, how kindly you treat me. I love you. I know that this may seem crazy, and that you probably are reading this and crying, because I just ruined our friendship with my silly feelings. But, Dashie, if I don't tell you, I'm going to continue to shrivel up inside, until I die, and wake up crying at 3:00 a.m. every day. I just want you to know, that every time I see you, be with you, I just know, that I am hopelessly in love with my best friend.

I don't know if you feel the same way. Sometimes I feel like you give me signs, but, I don't know what is flirting, cause I suck at it. Heh. Now, I want you to know, that if you don't feel the same way, that you can just kindly reject my feelings, and not freak out. I'm sorry that I couldn't keep it in, and I just needed to let you know. I'm sorry that I can't be what you want... personality wise, or even... gender. I'm sorry. I want us to stay friends though, please, even if it's awkward. We share friends, we're elements of harmony, we need to stay friends, or the harmony will be broken. So we should stay friends, not for my sake, but Twilight's, Pinkie's, Applejack's, Rarity's... Equestria's. Heh, funny, the world relies on us staying friends. Well, back to the point. If you do love me, well then. Please, get back to me as soon as possible.

Love,

Fluttershy

And with that, Fluttershy wrapped the little piece of paper in a rose patterned envelope, and with a shaking hoof, a pounding heart, and a churning stomach, she mailed it.
What now? The yellow mare thought to herself as she watched the mailmare take her letter, and drive off with it, off to Rainbow's house, and the words into her head.

Author's Note

I know it's short, but my creativity is weak today.
