The S.S angel bunny

Upon reading this, Dash began to cry. Not bursting into tears, not a light sniffle. She just began to cry. She ran her hoof down the paper softly as her tears fell.

“F-Flutters. Why? Why didn't you tell me?” She said to the paper as if hoping that she would get a response. Alas there was nothing, and so Rainbow Dash left the cottage with the both the letter and tears down her cheeks. She didn't want to talk to anypony right now.

As she trotted home she found herself walking right in the middle of the rest of her friends on one of their “Play dates” in the park. The group all stopped what they were doing and just stared, not sure if they should approach or not. Applejack decided to break her stare and approach Dash, going up next to her.

“What's wrong sugarcube? Y'all never been like this before!”

Rainbow Dash looked up for a brief second, before passing the note to Applejack and continuing her walk, saying “It's from Fluttershy.” and nothing more. Applejack read the note aloud for the others to hear. There were overall gasps from the crowd but not many tears. In fact the only pony to cry was Rarity, as she had been one of Fluttershys closest friends. Not as long as Rainbow Dash however. And all they could do was watch Rainbow Dash cry, who had now given up walking and had slumped onto the floor.

“What are we gunna do? Ah' hate to have her lookin' like this!” Applejack said starting off the conversation. I was Rarity to answer first

“Well what is there we can do? None of us knew fluttershy as well as her.”

“You knew her well Rarity.”

“Yes, but they have been friends since their foalhood! I don't think anypony could beat that!” Rarity went over to Rainbow Dash and put her hoof on Dashes shoulder. “Rainbow Dash as a very good friend I do not want you to give up on Fluttershy! You have to find her!”

Rainbow Sighed “But that letter is a year old at most! She'll probably be halfway across the world by now.”

“Why that is absolutely nonsense! It does not matter where she is as long as you believe in yourself!”

The rest of the group stood behind Rarity as she spoke, showing their support for all of this, a silent encouragement one could say. And Rainbow Dash understood what they were getting at. If she tried, then she could do it.

Rainbow got to her hooves nervously. What were once tears of sadness were tears of courage. She knew what she had to do.

“You're right guys. I can't give up on any of my friends, no matter what!” She said confident but still broken. “I'll just get some stuff and then I'll be off!” Dashes friends nodded in agreement. They knew what she meant and they weren't going to stop her. Dash was doing this one alone.
