Shattered inside

"Rainbow! Wait!" Twilight hurried after her.

Dash filled a basket with the apples. "What now?" She asked, annoyed. Her question was answered quickly as her hoof was surrounded by a certain magical aura, pulling it upwards.

"What the hay do you think you're doing?!" Dash snapped at Twilight.

"Where did you get those scratches, Rainbow? Are you secretly fighting wild cratures at night?" She asked softly.

"No. Must have happened when AJ and I had our race yesterday."

"And from what would these perfectly straight lines come from?"

"How should I know?!" Dash struggled to free her hoof from the magical grip.

"So in that case you probably don't have a problem if I tell the others about this, hm? They have to check the area to see if there are any sharp objects." Twilight gave her an evil smirk.

Dash sighed.

"Ok, fine. They weren't from the race. Just don't tell anyone."

Twilight released her from her magic. "So, you gonna tell me where you Really got them from?"

Dash turned away for a moment.
"Fine. I... I did it, okey?"

Twilight nodded. Of course the egghead had known the second she saw them. "I know. But why? Is this still about Tank?"

Dash glared at her again. "This has nothing to do with him! Or.. maybe a little..." She sunk back a bit.

"I only want to help you, Dash. And so do the others."

Dash sighed.

"You can't help me.."

She said and went back to apple bucking.

Twilight sighed.

"Um.. Twilight?" She turned around and saw Fluttershy.

"What is it, Fluttershy?"

"I, uh.. I really didn't mean to.. but.. I kinda watched you and Rainbow..." She trailed off.

Twilight was at a loss for words. "..so.. you know about-"

Fluttershy interrupted her. "She's doing it again."

"You know what she, wait.. Again?! She's done this before?!"

Fluttershy nodded. "She couldn't really deal with the bullies in flight school.. After her Sonic Rainboom, she became the talk of the school. But not in a good way. Because the colts she raced against were knocked out and didn't see it. So they turned the entire school against her, saying she was a liar and attention seeker..." She looked down. "Sorry, maybe it wasn't my place to tell you this..."

Twilight was stunned. "Fluttershy, wait. You said 'she's doing it again'. So she stopped?" Fluttershy nodded. "Then why did she start again? Why would she do that.."

"I'm sorry, I really don't know.."
