My Little Story

My Little Story 3

     It was that day of the week that Rarity and Fluttershy meet together at the spa, and they were just walking in. Fluttershy placed down some bits, and stood next to the steam room, eager to get this done quickly so she wouldn't have to answer questions, which were bound to come up. So Aloe and Lotus came along and began their weekly treatment, starting with a bath.

      Not good, Fluttershy thought. This meant that there would be a lot of time before Aloe and Lotus got back, which meant- "So Fluttershy..." Oh dear, too late. "Who's this new stallion I've heard you've been meeting? Rainbow Dash was just telling me about it the other day and I've been dying to know." "W-well, his name is Soft Stitch, and we met a f-few days ago," said Fluttershy. "Really? Tell me more about this Soft Stitch fellow." Fluttershy thought for a moment, and finally decided to come clean. "Well, he's a house doctor who also volunteers at the Ponyville Hospital. That's how he met Rainbow Dash. I ran into him while looking at some flowers, and we kind of just... Connected." Rarity squealed in delight. "Yay, my dearest friend finally has a special somepony!"

     I was checking up on Ms. Dash because Nurse Redheart called me in and said she was wailing and crying all over the place. I came in to her room and there she was, crying just as hard as when she first broke it. "What's wrong?" I said. " "I-I bu-bu-bumped it on t-t-the chair!" Rainbow Dash was in a fit of tears, so I did what anyone would. I held her tight and kept whispering that everything's gonna be alright. After a while, she calmed down. Sure, it would be a real pain for others, but that's what I do. She said "Thank you" to me, and I asked her to be a little ore careful with the wings. So I checked out of the Hospital, and went on my merry way.

     While walking along the road leading to Sugarcube Corner I saw Pinkie Pie, one of Fluttershy's friends. So I took it upon myself to become acquainted with her, might be better now than later. So I trotted over to Sugarcube Corner, and entered. But what happened next was completely unexpected. Someone rammed right into my back, and when I turned around, it was Rainbow Dash once again. I was very puzzled by this and asked her "What are you doing out of the Hospital?" She stopped for a moment, and then realized what she came for. "I just wanted you to know that I really really appreciated what you did back there. You're a really nice guy, and I just wanted you to know that... I really like you."

      Oh my word. Did I just hear Rainbow Dash say that she likes me? I must be hearing wrong. "What did you say?" And yet again she said "I-like you?" My entire world just stood still. How could Rainbow Dash do this, even though she knows that I'm dating Fluttershy? "I'm so confused right now. You mean you like me as a friend, right?" Rainbow Dash slowly shook her head 'no' and at that moment, I got so... mad! I wanted to just destroy everything in sight, so I took off in the direction of my house faster than Rainbow Dash ever could. I grabbed my axe once I was home and started annihilating the nearest tree. It barely took eight swings, but I didn't stop. I kept hitting it and hitting it until the tree was nothing but a pile of sawdust. And then I turned around to see Rainbow Dash with a look of complete and utter fear on her face. She must've followed me here after I took off.

     I turned around and said "I'm sorry you had to see me in that state of pure anger. I can't imagine what you're going through right now, and I'm sorry." Then Rainbow Dash said "I'm so sorry for the way I acted. If I would've known this is how you would react, I wouldn't have said it. It's just you're so nice and gentle and strong, I thought we could... You know... Date." I just stood there for a while, axe in hoof, and thought what I was gonna say. I like Fluttershy a lot, but I don't want to hurt others' feelings because of it. What to do, what to do? And then Fluttershy walked outside. "What are you two doing out here?" "I heard loud noises out here," Fluttershy said.

     I couldn't lie to her, but she might be hurt if I told her the entire truth. Think Stitch, think. "Just um showing Rainbow Dash how to split wood, that's all." "Oh, okay," said Fluttershy. "May I watch as well?" "Of course." So I chopped up yet another tree, in a less aggressive manner, for the amusement of my company. "How do you do it so fast," the both of them asked. "Just been doing it a long time is all." Good one, that should buy me some time to think of an excuse to leave. "Fluttershy, I'd love to stay and talk, but I have a house call at Berry Punch's house. Feel free to help yourselves to the refreshments in my kitchen." And then I left like a bullet for the nearest hiding spot.

     Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy arrived at my front door and realized that it would be easier to go through the missing hole than a locked front door. "Did he do this?" asked Fluttershy. "Wouldn't doubt it, a stallion of his size could break nearly anything," Rainbow Dash replied. They went in, drank tea, and ate random baked goods until something struck Fluttershy. Why wasn't she invited to watch Soft Stitch first? "Rainbow Dash." "Yes Fluttershy?" said Rainbow Dash. "We're you two really just cutting wood back in the forest?" Rainbow Dash was silent for a few moments. "Ugh, no. I actually told him that I..." Fluttershy couldn't hear the last part. "Come again?" And again, Rainbow Dash said "I told him that I lo..." "One more time, please." Rainbow Dash finally burst out "I told him I love him!"

     Rainbow Dash flew off in a burst of emotions and a realization that she might've just lost a friend. Fluttershy on the other hand, was in an abyss of despair, betrayal, and overall sadness as Fluttershy just witnessed her best friend try to steal Soft Stitch from her. She ran into her cottage and cried deeply to herself for many hours, while on the other side I was in a world of thought...
