Chapters Somepony That I Used To Know.
Twilight's room had finally settled down a bit, but Spike and The Cutie Mark Crusaders were still waiting to hear another barrage of yelling from beyond the door. Though it had only been about thirty-five minutes it felt as if Rarity and Twilight had been throwing insults back and forth the whole day.
"Again you put work before me," Twilight yelled furiously, "I can't believe just because it's Fancy Pants, you put spending time with me in the trash!"
"I do no such thing." Rarity exclaimed, "I merely move the date over so I can make some bits, unlike you, who just sits around and reads all day!"
Another exchange of verbal abuse and another shot of magic countered by a magical barrier. It had been like this after Rarity made the 'getting to big for my dresses' comment.
“And you keep doing just that, over and over again,” Twilight shot back with anger dripping from every word, “ We haven’t done anything together in months.”
Rarity mumbled under her breath and all Twilight caught was “Sex addict.”
Twilight stood, in total shock at what she just heard, “Did you just call me a sex addict?!”
“I would never call anypony such a thing!” Rarity let sarcasm drip with her every word.
Twilight had thought of what she could do for a few seconds, I could simply throw another insult back at her, but that isn’t going to get me anywhere........ finally after a few seconds she had come up with a final idea, charge. In a flash of light Twilight had appeared about ten feet from Rarity’s side, and started to run at her.
“What are you...” Is all Rarity could say before Twilight had tackled her to the ground and started to attack her. The one thing that she hadn’t remembered was that Rarity was trained in martial arts.
By the time Twilight had time to hit Rarity three times she had already been thrown across the room, landing right next to her nightstand and having a book fall on her head from the shelf above. Twilight had let out a slight groan as she realised what just happened, and came to her senses.
Twilight regained all of her sense and hurled the book at Rarity, though it burst into a shower of papers when it hit the magical barrier. The book had been ruined, but the cover of the book landed near Twilight. When she saw that the book was her favorite fillyhood book she looked at Rarity with sadness and hatred in her eyes.
In a low growl Twilight finally spoke, "Out, I want you out." The words hung in the air, but were heavy as 'Tom' when they reached Rarity's ears.
"Excuse me, what was that dear?"
Those last words sent Twilight into a flurry of tears, Rarity just watched as Twilight cried, her tears dropping onto the floor leaving darkened stains.
"Twilight dear, please don't cry. I'm sorry for all the harsh things I've said." There was a while before Twilight had responded, but to Rarity's dismay she was still very mad
"I SAID OUT!" Twilight screamed, and in a flash of white she got just what she wanted.
In a flash of white light Rarity had appeared, but she didn’t know where all she saw was a large, white figure in front of her. After a second she could fully make the figure out, it was the princess, but she didn’t seem to notice that Rarity was present.
Rarity quickly took a bow and spoke, “Princess Celestia?”
“Ahhh,” Princess Celestia jumped and turned around to see Rarity bowing, “Rarity, what are you doing here?”
Rarity began explaining to the princess the events of the past morning, and when she finished the princess didn’t look all too pleased with her. As the princess began to speak, Rarity was getting ready to bring her head down into her hooves.
Celestia couldn’t help but let out a thunderous laugh, “You called her a sex addict?!”
“Wha.......What, why does that matter?”
“You think her intelligence is the only thing she learned from me?” Celestia said, while winking at Rarity.
Rarity sat there dumbfounded as her mind registered what she was just told. Her mind was telling her to get up and leave, but before she could Princess Celestia began telling stories of her bedroom antics. After the princess had told her many stories of what she did to help Twilight ‘learn,’ Rarity began to think of all the ponies she listed.
She had multiple one night stands and most of them were with ponies I knew. Joe, Blueblood, and Big Mac. Even mares like Octavia, Vinyl, and Derpy !
“I’m terribly sorry Princess Celestia, but I must take my leave.” Rarity had just barely finished her sentence before she started backing out of the princesses private quarters.
“Hmmm, oh Rarity I forgot you were even here”
Rarity just barely caught that last sentence before she was out of the door. Never again will I be able to look at or think of Princess Celestia the same again. Her mind pondered a these things until she had realized she walked in a straight line and found herself inside a room.
She looked around to see if she recognized where she was, only to see a smaller midnight blue alicorn sitting at a desk with a book raised to her face. That book, where have I seen it’s cover before? She looked at the book closely until she had realized the origin of the cover. Tha.....that’s one of Fluttershy’s clopfics. If I back out quick enough I might not make enough sound to get her attention. She started hastily backing away in an attempt to leave before she got Princess Luna’s attention. To her demise the door was a pull door, not a push door.
THUD, Princess Luna turned around, her face was as red as Big Mac’s coat. “Who....Who’s there?”
“R-r-rarity, the element of generosity, Princess Luna.” Rarity had replied, her voice was quiet and she had stuttered a bit when she was speaking.
As Rarity was turning around to open the door, she heard Luna start talking, but decided to ignore her and continue. Right as she began to open the door an aura had overcome it and slammed it shut.
“Did you hear what I just asked?” Luna questioned Rarity with a voice that was near the tone of the royal Canterlot voice.
“No, your highness, I thought you were just asking me to leave.”
“I asked if you could get me a meeting with the author of this book, Fluttershy.” Her tone had quieted, but Rarity knew it would get a lot louder than before if she said no.
“Of course I could, she is my BPFF. How does next weekend sound, your highness.”
“Thank you Rarity, also you can just call me Luna.”
After that ordeal with Luna and Celestia, Rarity finally made her way to the front door. As she was leaving she saw a stallion that she knew very well, Shining Armor. When she had seen him she ducked behind the nearest object waiting for him to leave, and after 45 minutes of him not moving a muscle she got closer for an inspection. To her surprise it was a life like model of him, so without further interruption she made her way out the door, and to the train station. The whole time she only had one mare on her mind.
Twilight sat for a moment and just let the tears continue falling, finally she picked herself and the book up. She tried to put the book back together with her magic, but was too frustrated to keep control of her magic. When she gave up she walked outside of her room and looked for Spike, after a while of searching she found him.
“Spike,” Her voice was barely a whisper, “I’m going into town to find Rainbow Dash.”
“Ok, Twi I’ll be here in the library waiting for you to come back.” Spike knew that if he were to follow, he would regret it, but that didn’t stop The Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Twilight walked down the streets of Ponyville heading toward Sweet Apple Acres, where she knew that Rainbow Dash was taking her afternoon nap. As she approached Sweet Apple Acres she noticed only one cloud above the orchards, and she knew who was lying on that cloud.
“Rainbow,” Twilight called, her voice had risen back to it’s regular volume over the time of the walk, “Are you up there?”
After about five minutes of no reply Twilight was about to just turn around and go back home, when she felt wind blow right next to her. Rainbow Dash had landed by her side and was greeting her with a warm smile.
“Hey egghead,” Rainbow Dash said in a joking manner, “What’s wrong?”
“Me and Rarity got into a fight” Twilight replied, with a very quiet tone.
“Don’t you mean ‘Rarity and I’” Rainbow’s smile had gone down a bit, but she was still joking around.
“I really could care less about my speech right now.”
“I was just pointing it out, and what did you two fight about?”
“She moved another one of our dates so she could do work for Fancy Pants.” Twilight explained, while waving her hoof in a circular motion while saying ‘Fancy Pants.’
“Well why did you come to me?” This is it I’m finally going to get to tell Twilight that I love her.
“I teleported Rarity away after her magical barrier destroyed my favorite fillyhood book, and I think I know where I sent her. I just need you to fly there and see if she’s there.”
“So where did you send her?”
“To Canterlot, the castle to be exact. It was Princess Celestia who gave me the book and since it was on my mind when I teleported her I think that’s where she went.”
“Oh, no problem for the fastest pony in Equestria.” Dash bragged, while puffing her chest out and hitting a hoof on it.
“Thank you.” Twilight had pulled Rainbow into a hug, and as they parted Rainbow took the air to hide her blushing from Twilight.
Rainbow Dash had flown to Canterlot to see if Rarity was in the castle, and to her amazement, she was sitting there talking to the princess. After a few minutes of close observation it looked as if Rarity was a bit shaken up, but Rainbow thought it would be better not to crash through a royal princess’ window. Instead she flew back to Ponyville to tell Twilight what she saw.
Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle had followed Twilight down the streets of Ponyville and to Sweet Apple Acres, where they saw Twilight and Rainbow Dash talking. Both Sweetie and Apple Bloom had to hold Scootaloo back from rushing out of the tree when she saw Twilight hug Rainbow. After a while they found themselves on the outside of a new cafe that just opened up in Ponyville, watching Twilight who looked like she was very anxious. Ten minutes passed and finally Rainbow had landed on the other end of the table and took a seat. They talked and had coffee for about 30 minutes, then went to an open field, laid down, and watched the clouds after 15 minutes Rainbow had looked at Twilight and started to kiss her. The Cutie Mark Crusaders started a full gallop back to the library.
“Did I just see what I think I just saw” Scootaloo asked while panting heavily.
“If the answer is your idol making out with another mare while dating my sister, then yes you did just see what you think you just saw.” Sweetie replied, freaking out because of what her sister would have to say once she heard of this.
“Maybe we don’t have tah tell anypony” Apple Bloom suggested, only to be met with a glare from Scoots and Sweetie.
“I say we tell Spike he’ll know what to do.”
“That sounds good to me.” Scoots replied
“Good idea Sweetie Belle” Apple Bloom had just finished her sentence when she went face first to the ground.
After a ten minute gallop The Cutie Mark Crusaders finally approached the door of the library. All three of them burst through the door at one time shouting for Spike.
“Spike!?” They all three yelled at once.
“What, What's wrong? Did something happen to Twilight?” Spike asked frantically.
“Ohhhh yes, something happened to Twilight,” Sweetie Belle replied, “Or at least something will.”
“What happened?”
“We were following Twilight, when her and Dash went out to a field and started making out.” Scootaloo couldn’t help but laugh a little at Spike’s face.
“What should we do?” Apple Bloom asked.
“I think we should tell Rarity and let them handle it.” Spike answered with a more than serious face.
After 20 minutes of waiting Twilight had come back to the library, Rarity was in tow after about 10 minutes. Spike thought it would be best to get the trouble out of the way first.
“Rarity.” Spike said, sounding a bit afraid of what she would say.
“Yes, Spikey wikey” Rarity had replied with her usual baby talk voice.
“The Cutie Mark Crusaders and I have something to tell you.”
“And what would that be.”
“.......” Silence had overcome everypony, and after 30 seconds Sweetie Belle spoke up.
“Today after Twilight had sent you wherever she sent you, we followed her around town to see if she was ok. We followed her to Sweet Apple Acres, where she met with Rainbow Dash and sent her towards Canterlot. When Rainbow returned to Ponyville they met at the new cafe that just opened up and had some coffee and talked, then they went to a field south of Ponyville to watch clouds and ended up......”
“Ended up what, Sweetie Belle?” Rarity had asked, a bit confused and mad that her sister was spying.
“Kissing...” Sweetie Belle said just barely audible to Scoots who was right next to her.
“What was that dear? You have to speak up for me to hear you.”
“Kissing!” Sweetie had uttered that one word as quick as she could.
“Twi....light was kissing Rainbow.” Rarity had a hard time saying that sentence.
Rarity looked as if she was about to break down into tears, “Is this true girls?”
Twilight who was standing in the corner knew that this was the end of her’s and Rarity’s relationship, “Rarity...”

Somepony That I Used To Know.
I have betrayed someone I should have never mistaken for a fool, and now she is gone....
How could she?! Rarity, whose face was red from anger and tears, had asked herself over and over again as she ran through the streets of Ponyville. To her a dark cloud loomed over the whole town, bringing darkness as she ran, but in reality the sun was shining, basking the pegasi, earth ponies, and unicorns in its warmth. Rarity had no idea where she was going and the further away from the library she was, the better.
Rarity had started to notice that the stalls she kept seeing as she ran weren’t there and instead it was replaced by trees and shrubs. She was in a paradise as it seemed, the tall, thin tree providing a nice cooling shade, and the flowers were emitting a wonderful scent. One could only describe this place as paradise, that is unless your Fluttershy, who calls it her garden.
The yellow coat, light pink maned mare flew gently above the trees, just high enough to stay out of sight of the intruder in her garden. Fluttershy stayed in hiding for a few minutes until she had heard a voice, one as sweet as honey itself. The voice was spoken at a whisper, but the gentle breeze carried it to Fluttershy’s ears as if it was a feather drifting on the wind. She recognized the voice almost immediately and came from out behind the tree to approach Rarity, only to see her mane tangled and messy with tears running down her face.
“Rarity, is something wrong?” Fluttershy asked, her voice trembling in fear for her friend.Rarity turned around slowly to see her best friend slowly descending from the treetops. For once Rarity was at a loss for words to her friend, she couldn’t tell her everything that had just happened without startling her. Instead she herself thought of everything that had just happened and broke down crying. Right as Fluttershy’s hooves touched the ground Rarity had pulled her as close as she could and just let her tears fall into her best friends coat.
“Rarity....” Fluttershy’s voice was caring and full of concern, and that was all Rarity needed right now, was for somepony to care for her and show her that she was loved by somepony.
“Lets go back to my cottage and you can tell me what happened.” Rarity had stopped on the way to the cottage. After a few minute walk they were back a Fluttershy’s cottage, where Rarity stood looking at it as if it were Discord himself, not wanting to enter and pour her heart out, not wanting to accept that she was betrayed by the one pony that she loved the most.
As they walked through the door Rarity felt a sudden worry befall her, one that kept her from taking another step forward.
“Rarity, come on,” Fluttershy said in between grunts, trying to push Rarity inside.
“Darling, I think it would be best if I left.” Rarity replied, not wanting to relive the days events a third time.
“No, you are coming inside whether you like it or not.” Fluttershy moved in front of Rarity as she spoke.
“Rarity you have one more chance to get inside my house so I can talk to you.”
“And if I don’t what will happen?” Rarity had replied with a smart tone in her voice.
“That was your last warning,” Fluttershy spoke with sincerity and aggravation in her voice, “Now get inside.”
Fluttershy had started giving Rarity The Stare and wasn’t giving up until she was inside her house and telling her what was wrong. Rarity slowly started walking until she found herself sitting on Fluttershy’s coach, holding her best friend and crying again.
“Rarity, just tell me what happened.” Fluttershy had let her voice just be a whisper in Rarity’s ear.
Rarity continued crying for a few more minutes, her tears seeping into Fluttershy’s coat and mane. Finally the tears stopped and Rarity lifted her head to look at the yellow mare, giving her an open look letting her know that she was welcomed here.
“Rarity,” Fluttershy stared at the mare in front of her. “Will you tell me what happened so I can help you?”
Rarity had shaken her head yes and begun to tell Fluttershy about the events that had taken place before at the library.
“And now I don’t know what to do.” Rarity finished her sentence and started looking at the ground.
“Oh no, don’t cry again. Please.” Fluttershy gave her the biggest smile she could and took her to an embrace.
“Darling, what are you.” Rarity couldn’t finish her sentence before she shy mare before her took action. A warm, soft feeling touched Rarity’s lips. At first she was at shock, but it had blown over after a second. She closed her eyes and sank into the warm kiss, letting her tongue and Fluttershy’s tongue dance together in what could be seen as love.
They broke the kiss, slowly Fluttershy had pulled back from Rarity. Streams of light came in from Fluttershy’s curtain, falling on her face. To Rarity, the light was revealing the one pony that she could always trust and hold, no matter what she had been through.
“Darling, I have a job in Canterlot that is going to take time to complete, would you mind coming with me?”
“I wouldn’t mind, but..... I can’t because I couldn’t just leave all my animals here alone. They might get loose and run away, or they might...... I don’t even want to think of the worst that could happen.” By this point Fluttershy had started panting and gasping for air.
“Calm down darling, I can arrange for a house at the edge of Canterlot and I could get someone to taxi your animals to the home.”
“Then I’ll come with you, but first what about your stuff at the library?”
When Fluttershy had asked this Rarity immediately went flat again and stayed like this for some time until she decided to buck up and just go get her stuff from the library.
At the library Twilight sat at the kitchen table staring at her apple cider, rethinking the days events. It’s her fault for wanting to work all the time and not show me any attention at all.... the least she could do every other week is go out to dinner with me, but no her work for Fancy pants is more important. That’s why I’m choosing Rainbow over her and next time I see her I’ll tell her to get her stuff and get out.
“Twi, why don’t you just stop. You’ve had six glasses of apple cider and I think that is well over enough.” Spike regretted saying this when Twilight looked up and him with red eyes and a tear stained coat.
“Yea I guess you’re right.” She replied, pushing the glass away letting the last bit of liquid circle around in the bottom.
“Do you know where Rainbow is?”
“Nope, I haven’t seen her since you two came home. I think she said something about going back to her house.”
“Ok Spike, you watch the library, I’m going to see Rainbow.”
“If it’s alright with you can Apple Bloom come over?”
“Sure, just don’t mess anything up.” Twilight called back as she was closing the door.
In the town of Ponyville people were now moving about. Stopping at stalls, standing on the sidewalk talking to a friend, or just going to another ponies house. As Twilight walked through the throngs of ponies she saw familiar face and stopped to say hello and catch up. Coming to the edge of Ponyville was Rainbow’s cloud home. A beautiful home hovering fifty or sixty feet off the ground, inaccessible to anypony that couldn’t fly. Twilight however was a major exception seeing as she knew the cloud walk spell and could teleport up there. In a flash of bright white nothing happened and in another flash Twilight was transported to the doorstep of her best friend.
Twilight knocked at the door and waited for a response, after a minute passed Twi started to get a bit worried. She knocked again after this she heard a massive thud on the other side of the door. She hit the door with a magical bolt splintering it inside and outside the house. Inside the kitchen she saw an unmistakable shape getting back on a stool with a rope tied to a cloud hook.
“Rainbow!” Twilight screamed her name right as she was positioning herself into the noose.
Twilight gripped her in a magical aura and put her on the floor. With her magic pinning her to the floor, Twilight, walked over to Rainbow with tears forming in her eyes.
“Rainbow, why would you try that?” Twilight spoke her voice cracking as she spoke.
“Because you and Rarity both hate me, and if two of my best friends hate me then why should I still be alive! Fluttershy stays to herself, the only pony she’s talked to in weeks in Rarity, Applejack now travels Equestria doing rodeo shows, and Pinkie now has to take care of the Cake’s foals because of their death!” Rainbow screamed every word at Twilight, tears were rolling down her face when she finished.
“Rainbow....... if I hated you why would I stop you from hanging yourself or keep you pinned so you don’t try anything else? Rarity can’t stay mad at you, she may be pissed at you right now but she won’t be as time passes. If I hated you why would have come here?” Twilight replied, her voice low and calm. Standing over Rainbow her mane had started to fall onto Rainbow’s face.
“Then why did you come! Tell me”
“Because I love you.” Twilight leaned in, her mane falling in thin lines over Rainbow’s cheek, her warm lips met Rainbows and slowly she released her magical grip on her just to be pulled in closer to Rainbow.
The kiss finally ended, something neither of them wanted, and they stayed there for a few minutes until Rainbow finally spoke.
“You know you’re going to have to fix my door right?”
“I find it payback for all the times you've broken the library window.”
They laughed for a little while before getting up and going outside. The sun was just setting lighting the sky up a pink and grey color. Twilight stepped out onto Rainbow’s balcony with her in trail behind.
“Twi......” Rainbow said to herself.
“Did you say something Rainbow?”
“Just that this sunset pales in comparison to your beauty.”
“When did you learn such big words?” Twilight said with a teasing voice.
“Same time I found out how easily you get scared.”
“Wait wha....” Twilight couldn’t even finish her sentence, Rainbow had already thrown her on her back and took off into the sunset.
“Ahhhhhhh, Rainbow bring me to the ground right now, this isn’t funny.”
Rainbow didn’t care what she had to say she saw where they were going and had already started to slow down. After a minute of just drifting on the wind they reached their destination, a cloud just above a lake outside Ponyville. Rainbow set Twilight down gently only to be met by a slap once she had landed.
“If you ever do something like that again I will have......” Twilight was cut off mid sentence because of Rainbow meeting her lips, slowly Twilight melted into the kiss and fell on her back. Rainbow broke the kiss, staring into Twilight’s eyes as if they were diamonds. Time had passed by quickly, almost an hour they had been on the cloud, night had already come and they stars were bright in the sky. Twilight had started pointing out constellations to Rainbow who seemed a little anxious for something.
“And that one there is Orions Saddle,” Twilight looked over at Rainbow only to notice she was a bit jumpy “Is something wrong Rainbow?”
“No, It’s just.....” She stopped mid sentence as a twinkle shot across the sky.
“Twilight look.” She said this as she grabbed Twilight’s head and turned it.
When she had turned her head immediately she saw a hundred little blue lights dance across the sky and disappear into the horizon.
“Rainbow it’s beautiful.” Twilight had said calmly while watching the meteors fly thru the night sky.
A few minutes passed and the meteor shower was over and the pair had returned to the library.
The flight back to Ponyville wasn’t that bad. Rainbow didn’t do any tricks, instead she just sailed with the wind letting the breeze drag her up and down. Twilight tried to speak a few times but Rainbow couldn’t hear her, the only thing Rainbow heard was the wind fly by her and maybe if they were going slow enough she could catch one or two words of what Twi was saying. She started to slow down as she approached the library, only to see multiple carriages flying away.
“Twi, do you see what I see?” Rainbow asked as they got a bit closer and higher.
“No what do you see?” As they got closer Twi was just barely able to see the gold lined chariots leaving the library with a mass amount of luggage.
They entered the library slowly looking around as if it was the Canterlot hall and they were mere peasants.
“Spike?” Twilight called out a bit of worry in her voice.
“Yea, what do you need Twi?” He called back after a slight moment
“Why were there royal chariots leaving the library?”
“Because Rarity and Fluttershy came and got Rarity’s stuff, as matter of fact she left this note.”
Rainbow and Twilight both started to read the letter and by the time Rainbow was halfway done with it Twilight had already crumpled it up, threw it in the fireplace, and stomped off to her bedroom. After a few minutes of waiting Rainbow played chicken with Spike to see who would go check on her, and even though Spike lost Rainbow would look for any excuse to get Twi alone in her room.
“How did you get so good at this?” Spike complained after already stabbing himself 3 times.
“When you drop out of flight school and you hang with a tough gang you tend to learn some dangerous stuff.”
“Aghhh, ok I give up. I’ll go check on her.”
“You know what Spike, how about you go treat your hand and I’ll go check up on her, ok.”
“Ok, thanks.”
Rainbow went to Twilight’s door and gently tapped on it. After a minute of no response she decided to let herself in. As she peered inside her room she couldn’t see anything it was just a pitch black room and after a few seconds shapes could be made out from the darkness. Rainbow scanned the room looking for Twilight and after looking over the room she spotted her lying wrapped up in a ball on the bed. A lavender ball covered by only her long dark purple mane, Rainbow slowly approached her. She sat down on the bed and started stroking Twilight’s mane.
“Hush now, quiet now. Time to lay your sleepy head.” Rainbow started singing only to be cut off by a lavender hoof being put on her lips.
“Whas dah bih idea cutin meh off.” Rainbow questioned as best she could.
“You really suck at singing.” This sent both Twilight and Rainbow into a fit of laughter and after a few minutes it started to slowly die down. Ten minutes passed and Twilight had fallen asleep, held as close as she could, by Rainbow.

Somepony That I Used To Know.
Two years, Twilight- Part 1
When it’s all said and done, who knows what love is.
The sun slithered its light through the blinds covering Twilight’s window. Shining it’s radiants threads of light into Rainbow Dash’s eyes. She let out a slight groan and a wave of her hoof hoping that the sun would just go away. Sadly for Rainbow, the sun was there to stay for another eleven hours. She slowly started to roll out of bed, until she felt a slight tug at her mane.
“Lie back down. I was comfortable.” Twilight was lightly groaning, while trying to pull Rainbow back down beside her.
“You stay here and sleep, I’ll go make breakfast.” Rainbow gave Twilight a slight peck on the cheek, resulting in her curling up into a ball and cooing.
Rainbow chuckled, as she looked back and saw Twilight resting peacefully in the bed. As she made her way down the stairs, a wonderful aroma was filling the main foyer of the library. What’s that smell. It smells wonderful. Rainbow thought to herself as she reached the final step.
“Rainbow!” Spike jumped a little bit as he saw the cyan blue pegasus through the kitchen doorway.
“Spike, what’s that smell?” Rainbow asked, as she approached the the kitchen doorway.
“It’s just coffee. What, does it smell weird?” Spike replied, sniffing the coffee.
“No, it smells wonderful. Could you pour me a cup?”
“Sure, do you like it straight black? Or do you like it with cream and sugar?”
“With a bit of cream and no sugar.”
Spike poured her a cup of coffee, and they talked about the small happenings around Ponyville. After ten minutes, Rainbow got up and started to help Spike make breakfast, until she spilt the pancake batter and broke the orange juice pitcher. Making a orange colored, lumpy mess.
“Rainbow, I think it would be best if you just ran to the market to pick up more batter and another pitcher.” Spike had a bit of an annoyed tone as he spoke.
“I think it would be a good idea too.” Rainbow walked over to the front door where her saddlebag was and started looking through it looking for bits.
”Spike, do you have any extra bits I can borrow?” Rainbow blushed a bit when she asked, realising she didn’t have enough bits to buy everything. Spike sighed and face clawed himself, as he handed her twelve bits
“Here.” Spike sounded more annoyed than he did two minutes ago.
“Thanks, Spike I will repay you later.” Rainbow said.
Rainbow had decided to walk to the market instead of flying. The ground beneath her hooves was warm, the sun in the sky was shining bright, and it was better for her health if she walked a little. The walk to the market was refreshing at every corner there was memory of her and her friends.
“Rainbow!” Rainbow instantly noticed the squeaky voice and turned to see where it came from. Finally she spotted the owner of the voice flying towards her.
“Scoots?” Rainbow sounded surprised to see the small filly flying toward her, though she was flying slowly, she was still flying.
“Do you know where Sweetie Belle is?” When Scootaloo said Sweetie Belle, Rainbow knew she had some explaining to do.
Rainbow looked toward the ground remembering yesterdays events, and Rarity leaving for Canterlot with Sweetie Belle and Fluttershy.
“Rainbow?” Scootaloo gently hovered about the ground looking at cyan blue pegasus.
“Listen Scootaloo, I think it would be best if I told you another time.” Rainbow’s mood changed instantly from joyful, to confused, and now to sad.
“Why don’t you follow me around town and when we get back to the library I’ll tell you.”
Scootaloo almost fainted at those words, “A day with Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in all of Equestria. Yes!” She started doing small, mid air back flips.
“Don’t get too excited pipsqueak. I’m only shopping.” Rainbow cheered up a little as she watched the small filly doing back flips in front of her.
“It’s still spending a day with the awesomest pony in all of Equestria.” Scootaloo still wore a massive smile.
Rainbow and Scootaloo started down the pathway both laughing about stories Rainbow was telling. Scootaloo stopped once or twice to say hello to some of her friends. Featherweight had started a small conversation about how Diamond Tiara was going to be moving to Canterlot soon, but it only lasted a few minutes because Rainbow needed to get back to the library as soon as possible. Rainbow knew that when they got back to the library Scootaloo would take the news to one of her best friends leaving pretty hard. After 15 minutes, they got what they needed and started back to the library.
“Hey Rainbow, do you think at this age, I could know what love is?”
“Pipsqueak, if you know you would do anything for that special somepony than you know what love is.”
“Then I’ve got to find Sweetie Belle so I can tell her I love her. I’ve felt like this ever since we tried to help Mrs. Cheerilee and Big Mac out, and I just can’t wait any longer to tell her.”
“Then I wish you all the luck. I dated mares like Sweetie Belle when I was younger and it was not fun.” Rainbow looked at Scootaloo who had a slight frown on her face.
“Sweetie Belle isn’t like the other mares. She’s not mean to me, and always enjoys when we hang out at the clubhouse, and never has a bad mood around me and Apple Bloom. I just want to tell her I love her and hope she loves me back.”
“I hope she loves you back, there’s no other feeling than having the mare you love with you.” Rainbow had started thinking of Twilight, and thought if she had just got out of bed or if she was still curled up.
In just a few short minutes of silence, Scootaloo and Rainbow found their way back to the library. As they approached the front door, they could hear Spike talking to somepony.
“If anypony were to find out about that, then they would make her come home.”
“Ah know, but she could hurt the foal while working, and Ah want to be an aunt.”
“I know you do, but still she is in the top four of the Swayback Rodeo. She can’t quit now.”
“She has tah. There is too much risk, so Ahm tellin Big Mac.”
“Fine go on ahead, but just remember when you do tell them, we won’t be able to see each other as much.”
“Ah know that, but still Ah would rathah a niece or nephew more than a kind..... caring...... gentle.....”
“Spike!” Rainbow heard that voice and perked up immediately.
“C’mon we might want to help Spike and Apple Bloom out.” Rainbow opened the door trying to hold back her laughter as she saw Spike being held in mid air by a purple aura.
“Rainbow. Help me.” Spike was almost shouting at the top of his lungs.
“What was he doing?” She turned her head to Twilight, who’s mane and tail was a mess. Rainbow put the orange juice pitcher on the table next to the door, and just stood there and stared.
“HAHAHAHAHA, your mane... and tail... you look like Pinkie.” Rainbow’s laughing fit went on for a few more seconds until Twilight put a zipper over her lips.
“He was trying to kiss Apple Bloom, I had to do something.”
“Was he at least doing it right? If so, let him go and lets get out of here.” Rainbow looked at Twilight for a moment, then back at Scootaloo.
“Don’t encourage him.” Twilight snapped back at Rainbow.
“He probably just learns from example.” Rainbow muttered under her breath.
“What was that?” Twilight released Spike and started walking over toward Rainbow.
“I just said he learned from example.” Rainbow puffed her chest out at Twilight and got face to face with her.
“Well then let’s see what he could learn.” Twilight was speaking with an evil grin on her face.
“Wait, wha...” Twilight had moved in and started to kiss Rainbow, slowly her tongue found it’s way into Rainbow’s mouth exploring every possible point it could.
Rainbow was shocked at first, but had started to sink into the kiss when she felt something pull her legs out from under her. Rainbow looked down at who was pulling her leg and saw Scootaloo looking at her. Rainbow broke the kiss, Twilight looked at her with a confused look. Twilight then saw Scootaloo and realized what she had done, she began to blush like a red apple from Sweet Apple Acres.
“Why don’t we get breakfast started.” Twilight asked, still brightly blushing.
“I think that’s a good idea.” Rainbow replied while picking herself up.
Breakfast blew past rather fast, not too much was said due to the high levels of embarrassment. Spike and Apple Bloom started to do the dishes, and started having a splash fight that Twilight had to break up by dumping water on the both of them. Twilight sat and read the newest Daring doo book with Rainbow and Scootaloo for a few minutes until she got a letter from the Princess.
“Rainbow?” Scootaloo looked up at Rainbow with sad little eyes, “You said you would tell me what happened to Sweetie Belle once we got back to the library. So will you tell me?”
Rainbow sighed, looking sad, and said, “Pipsqueak, I may be the Element of Loyalty, but this is something that isn’t going to be easy for both of us. I wish that I was the Element of Honesty instead, because this is hard to tell you. Rarity and Twilight got into a fight, won’t get into any details, something came up and Rarity took all of her stuff. She, Sweetie Bell, and Fluttershy moved to Canterlot.”
Scootaloo looked broken, sad, and destroyed. A small tear made it’s way down her cheek and after a second she broke out into a full blown sobbing.
“Why, why did she have to leave?” Scootaloo started holding onto Rainbow Dash, as if she was about to fall to her death. Rainbow stroked her mane gently, trying to get the crying filly to stop.
“It’ll be ok... She’ll be back someday.” She just kept stroking her mane, “Scootaloo you said your parents died and that you were on your own.”
“Yes.....”
“I think I know something that would cheer you up for the time.”
Six months later.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash, at first they thought they were meant to be together forever, but something had gone terribly wrong.
“I can’t believe you just walked away without telling me where you were going!” Shouted Twilight, as Rainbow Dash looked her in the eye.
“I don’t need to tell you anything Twi! It’s my life and I can do whatever I want!” Rainbow shouted back.
Spike sighed and said, “Here we go again.”
“What was that!?” Both ponies shouted at him.
Spike ran for the door of the library, but a purple aura caught him. Spike snapped his claw, as his plan to escape failed. Twilight hovered him over to the couch and force him to sit down. Rainbow said, “We don’t need to bring him into this. Let him get out of here before he gets hurt.”
Twilight just glared at Rainbow and shouted, “He is my assistant and he will tell us who is right and wrong in this argument!”
Rainbow faced hoofed herself, and finally said, “I think we need to get some air, and after we calm down we'll talk.”
Twilight looked at the ground then back at Rainbow. She sighed in defeat, and said, “Spike get out of here. Things are going to get ugly.”
Spike nodded and he ran for the door. As the door closed behind Spike, Rainbow was heading for the same direction Spike went, when she was caught in a purple aura.
“I didn’t say you could go anywhere did I.” Twilight said, coldly, as she levitated Rainbow over to her, face to face. Rainbow struggled to get out of Twilight’s magic grip but to no avail.
She looked at Twilight in the eyes and said, “What the buck Twi?! I thought you were done with me and Spike. I thought we could use some time to think alone and talk later tonight. I--.” Rainbow was interrupted when a pair of lavender lips started kissing hers, forcefully.
Twilight released her magical grip and kept kissing Rainbow, till they both lay on the ground of the library. Twilight forcefully pushed her tongue inside Rainbow’s mouth and started to play with hers. During the kiss Rainbow hit Twilight in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. Rainbow got up off the ground looking at her lover and walked outside.
Twilight groaned in pain, she looked around trying to find her lover, but she saw the door close, realising that Rainbow had left her there alone.
“I thought you loved me Rainbow Dash.” Twilight said, out loud. No one was in the library, except for her. Twilight began to cry, tears running down her cheeks, and asked, “Why does this happened to me?” Her questioned echoed throughout the library.
Rainbow Dash walked away from the library and decided to think about what happened. She grumbled so no pony could hear what she said, as she ran into a familiar pony.
“I am sorry I didn’t see where I was going and I lost in thought. Wait a minute, Fluttershy.” Rainbow said, shocked to see her friend back in Ponyville.
“Oh, um hello Rainbow. How are you doing?” The yellow pegasus asked. The two pegasuses just looked at each other, like they just had met for the first time.
Fluttershy looked like she has changed a lot. She looked like a sun angel sent from Celestia, her pink mane was longer and was tied into a bun shaped like a heart, and she wore make up. Rainbow couldn’t stop staring at her and believe what her friend did with herself. Fluttershy began to giggle, and said, “Rainbow you are staring at me.”
Rainbow broke out of her thoughts and began to blush in embarrassment. “Sorry, I just haven’t seen you for a while. You look great Fluttershy. Looks like Canterlot changed you a bit. I bet stallions will drool over and try to ask you out.”
Fluttershy blushed at the comment, and said, “Well, it is all thanks to Rarity that I got a job, posing as a model for her dresses.”
“So what brings you back to Ponyville? I thought you were going to live there.” Rainbow asked, confused why her friend had come back.
“Well, the reason I came back is because I miss all of my animal friends and my friends like you, Twilight, Applejack, Spike, and Pinkie Pie. So what have you been doing?” Fluttershy said, smiling.
“Well Twilight and I have been dating for a while, but we are having an argument right now, so she and I separated to have sometime to think. Before I have to go back, would you like to get together, catch up, and have some lunch with me?” Rainbow asked.
“Yes, that sounds lovely Rainbow. The day after tomorrow I don’t have work, and if that’s a convenient time for you, we could have lunch then, sound good?” Fluttershy replied.
“Cool, see ya later Shy. Have a nice day.” Rainbow said, as she began to walk away from her yellow pegasus friend.
Fluttershy just stared at her friend walked away, until she could not see her friend. She let out a sigh.
Rainbow still thought about the argument with Twilight. She didn’t know what happened or what she did, but she felt she needed to clear the air with her. Rainbow expanded her wings out, getting ready to fly back to the library, when suddenly a young yellow pony tackled Rainbow to the ground.
“Ouch, who the buck just tackled m-- Apple Bloom?!” Rainbow said, shocked that the young filly had grown up to be a young pony, since the last time she saw her.
“Rainbow Dash. Ah need you and your friends to come to my home. My sister Applejack has some big news to share with you y’all.” Apple Bloom said, fixing her strawberry red mane.
“Whoa there kiddo. What is going on? You look like you just ran a marathon or ran away from a storm.”
“That does not matter, Ah need you to get your friends and tell them to meet at Sweet Apple Acres.”
“Okay, got it.” Rainbow took off flying towards the library first.
Twilight sat there on the ground crying, tears running down her face. Each second that passed the pain grew greater and greater. She knew that the second mare that she called her just walked out of her life. The room may have been bathed in the afternoon sun, but for her it could have never been darker. She heard her door squeak open and looked up hoping that it was Rainbow.
“Hey Twilight, are you alright?” Scootaloo poked her head into the room slowly as she spoke.
“Yes.” Twilight looked at the young pony, who had grown up very much since the first time they met.
“No your not. Now why don’t you tell me what’s wrong?” Scootaloo poked the rest of her body in enough just to see Twilight looking up at her with her ears pinned back.
“You lie just about as well as Applejack, now tell me what happened.” She started to put herself into a more intimidating position with her chest poked out like Rainbow did many times to cheer Twilight up.
“Rainbow and I had a fight, like the one Rarity and I had. Now I don’t know if she’s coming back or not.” Twilight had moved to her bed as she spoke, hoping for a miracle that Rainbow would come back.
“Rainbow would never abandon us. She loves me, you, and Spike too much. Also she’s the Element of Loyalty, I think she couldn’t leave if she tried.” Scootaloo moved to sit next Twilight on her bed, making her move closer to the edge.
“Scootaloo, I’m sorry to say, Rainbow may be the Element of Loyalty, but she still has a free will and doesn't want to be around me.”
“If you’re going to think that she’s like that then no wonder she would leave.” Scootaloo had started to cry a bit as she got up to leave. Twilight watched as she threw the door to her room open and marched out. After Scootaloo was out of sight, Twilight got up to go close the door, and heard a familiar voice call down from the front foyer, after the door closed.
“Twi are you here? I need to tell you something.” Rainbow looked around the foyer of the library, and didn't find a clue where Twilight had gone.
Rainbow then heard something make a thumping noise coming from the second floor of the library. Rainbow immediately ran up the stairs to the second floor, she looked around and she heard another thumping noise but this time much louder and closer. Rainbow found Twilight’s bedroom door closed and she tried to open it but to no avail.
Knock knock.
Rainbow waited for Twilight to open her bedroom door. Nothing
Knock knock.
Rainbow waited. Still nothing.
Knock knock.
Rainbow started to get annoyed and waited. Still nothing.
“Won’t open your door Twi, then I am breaking down the door.” Rainbow said, charging at the door.
The door busted open, and Rainbow looked around Twilight’s bedroom looking for the purple unicorn. She found a big huge thing moving and hiding under Twilight’s blanket. Rainbow tackled the thing and pulled the blanket off to reveal a purple unicorn crying and curled up in a ball.
“Just go away. Get out.” Twilight said.
“No way. I got to tell you something. Rainbow said, trying to get close to her.
“I know what you are going to say. You are going to say you don’t love me, and you will leave me and never come back.”
Rainbow sighed and said, “Twilight I think we need to talk about what happened.”
Twilight took a deep breath in and said, “Alright. Let’s talk.”
Rainbow and Twilight sat there in her room, looking at each other, finally Rainbow spoke, “Listen Twi, you are probably the most beautiful egghead I have ever known in my life. That is why I love you. You are smart, caring, nice, and probably too good for me, but after what happened earlier today, I think we can overcome it and be together for a little while longer, maybe even forever.”
Twilight took in what Rainbow had just said, feeling a little bit better. Finally, Twilight replied, “Rainbow, I am sorry about what happened, I just got worried that you might leave and never come back. I love you too, but how can we overcome the obstacle we started?”
“Well I have an idea, listen carefully.” Rainbow said, looking Twilight right in the eyes.
“Well, what is it?” Twilight asked, confused.
“When one of us leaves to do something, you or I should tell the other what we're doing. So we can check in with each other. For example, Twilight, I am going out to fly, see you in a bit. I come back and check in with you, or Rainbow, I am going with Spike to the market, I shall be back. Then you come back and check in with me. But if it is a special occasion, we should tell Spike where we are going or he comes with us.” Rainbow said, proud of what she just said.
Twilight looked shocked, she never thought of that, and she finally said, “I think we can make that work. Let’s do that, check in with each other when one of us is doing an event.”
Rainbow smiled, and said, “Awesome, by the way Applebloom came running towards me today. She said you, me, Fluttershy, Spike, and Pinkie Pie need to meet at Sweet Apple Acres. Something came up.”
“What’s wrong, did Applejack hurt herself?” Twilight started to get up and run to the door when she felt a wing brush her side. Rainbow landed in front of the doorway and held out a hoof.
“We still need to get the others, so why don’t you go get Pinkie and I’ll find Fluttershy. Spike, Applebloom, and Scootaloo are probably already there.” Rainbow got down into a crouching position, expanded her wings and took off through Twilight’s window.
