Rainbow Dash is tough, and she's made sure that everypony knows that. She can handle any situation that comes her way with strength and bravery. Well, almost any situation. There's a certain pony that she idolizes, but Rainbow's reticent nature is an obstacle to the admission of these feelings to them. It doesn't help that she has a plush doll of them that she would never want anypony, let alone them, to know about. After Fluttershy has a chance encounter with this pony, she gives them and Rainbow the perfect opportunity to realize how much their friendship means to each other.
