Lovers and liars

After a long night flight, Rainbow finally reached Ponyville and went immediately to Twilights house. She walked up to the door and knocked.

*Knock knock*

No answer. Rainbow sighed and started walking away. Then suddenly she heard a door open. She turned around and saw Spike standing in the doorway. Spike looked at her with an angry face.

"So, you finally decided to arrive?"

"Where's Twilight? I need to talk to her." Rainbow asked the purple dragon. Spike rose his hand and pointed it towards Sweet Apple Acres.

"I told her to go to see Applejack. I thought that maybe she could help her. Twilight didn't tell me, what happened, but I know that it has to have something to do with you." Spike said and looked at Rainbow, who had a guilty look on her face.

"How do you know that?" Rainbow asked and raised her eyebrows.

Spike didn't answer her. Instead, he went back inside. After a while he returned with a picture and a box in his claws.

"From these." Spike dropped the picture and the box on the ground and walked inside. He closed the door behind him. Rainbow could hear Spike crying inside. 'What have I done?' She thought as she picked the picture up. It was a picture of her and Twilight on the beach. They were holding each others hooves and the whole moment was perfect, but there was something wrong with the picture. Twilights head was replaced with Spitfires. Tears started flowing out from Rainbows eyes. 'I am so sorry Twi. I hope that it isn't too late.' She thought. 'What's this?' She opened the box and a necklace dropped out of it. She grabbed it and when she saw what it was, she took a determined face and started flying towards Sweet Apple Acres.

When she reached her destination, she stood in front of the door. 'Maybe I should check if she is still here first. After all, I don't want to wake anyone up.' She flew away from the door and to Applejacks window. She had lights on. Rainbow flew closer. When she was close enough, she saw two mares sitting. Twilight and Applejack. Rainbow tried to listen, what they were talking about, but couldn't hear them. Then she gave up and flew back to the door and knocked it.

*Knock Knock*

When she saw the handle turn, she felt the time stop. She started thinking her feelings towards Twilight. All the good times... All the bad times. How Twilight always helped her and never left her. She knew that Twilight was the one. Then a thought crept through her mind. 'Was she good enough for Twilight?' This made her cry. 'I can't... I just can't'. The door opened and Rainbow saw Applejack inside. Rainbow looked at Applejack a few seconds, then a lavender unicorn appeared behind Applejack. They stood there a moment. Then Twilight grabbed the door handle and closed the door. Rainbow started hitting herself. 'You are worth nothing to her.' She started to fly up. She flew over the treetops and over the clouds. Then she headed home.

Rainbow opened the door silently. She walked in and straight to the bedroom. She got in her bed and cried. She cried of all the things she had done, all the things she hadn't and all the things she could have done. She cried through the night. She couldn't do anything else. She cried so hard, that she felt a lot of pain in her stomach, but the pain in her stomach was nothing compared to the pain she had in her heart.

At morning she finally stopped crying. She didn't stop thinking about Twilight, but she couldn't cry anymore. She wanted the pain to end. At any means necessary. She flew to Sugarcube corner, where she saw Twilight. Twilight looked like nothing have ever happened. Twilight was in severe pain, but Rainbow couldn't see it. A tear dropped from Rainbows eye. It dropped all the way down on Twilights head. She turned her head and saw a cyan pegasus flying up, higher and higher. Twilight looked at the pegasus sadly. She wanted to talk to her. She wanted to apologize. She stared at Rainbow Dash, but then saw, that others were staring Rainbow too. When Twilight turned to look up again, a note fell on her face. The note said:

I can't live anymore in this pain. I can't live without you. But I know that I am not good enough for you either. I want to explain to you, but I can't. This was a nice experience. Now, when you know, I will fall. You know, what it means when pegasus falls. I am sorry.

When she watched again at Rainbow, she saw Rainbow barely in the distance. She saw something that she never thought Rainbow would do. Rainbow gave up. She saw her closing her wings. This made Twilight realize, how stupid she had been. She knew Rainbow would never be disloyal. She charged her horn.

Rainbow smiled. The wind and the speed made her smile. The feeling of letting go.

Sometimes, when my life is horrible.
I jump off a cliff.
And when I'm falling, I smile.
I smile 'cause I know, that when I hit the ground.
There is only one way to go from there. Up.

At the moment, when Rainbow had fell half way, she felt somepony grab her hoof and hug her.

"I love you Dash. I always will. And I will fall with you." The lavender unicorn said as she cried.

The ground was getting closer. Two lovers. Falling. Then suddenly Rainbow opened her wings.
