Read it and Weep (another perspective)

BEEP BEEP BEEP! Triple Threat was awakened by the mare do well alarm. She groaned. Triple was hoping nothing would happen tonight. She opened her purple eyes and looked at the clock, One o'clock a.m. Rainbow was right; emergencies can arise at the worst time. TT ran to closet put on Dash’s mysterious mare do well costume. Triple went the computer and looked for the problem. She found it was an orange pegasus filly that was lost. Triple flew out and headed for the lost filly. When she arrived, she found Scootaloo afraid and shaking.

“What’s your name kid?”  The Mare Do Well asked.

“Scootaloo.” The cutie mark crusader said.

“Where do you live Scootaloo?” the masked hero asked.

“The orphanage.” Scootaloo said.

The mysterious mare do well took her home.  Triple wanted to know how the pegasus filly got lost so early in the morning, but didn’t ask; she decided to give her a break. Triple went back to the house and tried to go back to sleep again. There’s the problem with in her family. Once you wake them up, they can’t get back to sleep. It was a long night, but Triple did get to sleep. The next morning, she woke up tired, but had to go cloud busting. The groggy pony dragged herself out of bed, left food for Tank, headed outside and started work. She busted five and fell asleep on the sixth.

“Hey Triple, Triple, Triple Threat wake up.” A voice said.

Triple woke up to see Ditzy Do.

“Hey Ditzy, oh, I know I have more clouds to bust, but I’ll get to it.” she said.

“Okay, it’s just that, you’re bothering everypony with your snoring.” Ditzy said.

Triple looked over the edge of the cloud to see ponies looking up with annoyed expressions on their faces.

“Sorry everypony.” She blushed.

They went on with their day.  Triple had enough strength to continue, so she finished cloud busting. Triple decided to visit Dash, so went to the hospital and found Rainbow’s room. She was under the sheets.

“Hey Dash.” Triple said. Rainbow looked up to see Triple Threat.

“Hey Triple.” Dash said.

“I just thought I’d check on you.” Triple said as she walked up to Dash’s bed.

“Oh, I’m fine. Still eggheading it” Dash said.

“Dash, you don’t need to be ashamed of loving to read.” Triple said.

“Triple, I have to think of my rep, now please, do you have anything else you want to tell me?” Dash asked.

  “The Mysterious Mare Do Well rescued Scootaloo at one o’clock in the morning.” Triple answered.

“That’s not like Squirt, what could she be doing so early?” Dash mused to herself.

“Why did you take it upon yourself to become the masked hero anyway?” Triple asked.

Rainbow told Triple how she saved ponies around town and let the attention go to her head, so the other created the Mysterious Mare Do Well to bring her back down to earth.

“I know better than to let the attention get to me now, but just be safe, I asked Rarity for a mare do well costume to wear next Nightmare Night. Nopony would have expected me to don the costume, not even our friends after I “unmasked” the mysterious mare do well.” Dash said.

Triple Threat could see were Rainbow Dash was coming from.

“Alright, I’ll come back tomorrow; I have to get back on patrol, a massive storm is coming from the Everfree forest and we have to be ready to bring it under control, bye.” Triple said as she turned and left.

“Bye Triple.” Dash said.

After a day of trying to bring a wild storm under control, you'd think the pegasi  on weather patrol would be exhausted. They were, with the exception of one  certain red pegasus with a blue mane and tail. She was feeling restless, and tossing and turning in Dash's bed didn't help. Triple decided to take a walk through town. As she made her way to town hall, she noticed Fluttershy flying somewhere.

"What's Fluttershy doing out so late?" Triple asked herself. She decided to follow the shy mare. To her surprise, Fluttershy led her to the  hospital. She knocked on the window. After a moment, It was opened and Fluttershy went in. Triple crept up to the window and peaked in. What she saw stunned her more than the Mare Do Well.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************

As Rainbow Dash read her book under the sheets, she heard a knock on her window. She poked her head out of the sheets to she her lover. Dash got out of bed and opened it to allow her marefriend in. The two immediately kissed in greeting.

"Fluttershy, you didn't need to come out so late to see me." Dash told her.

"I know, but i wanted too." Fluttershy replied, looking hungrily at RD.

Dash's wings shot up and grew stiff. "You're a horrible pony." Dash said, returning the hungry look.

"I know, but you like it." Fluttershy said. She had gained a wingboner of her own by now.

The two pegasi crawled into the bed.

"By the way, why did  you lose that game of battleclouds?, you never lost a game of that, unless you wanted us gone." Fluttershy said.

Dash sighed. She knew her significant other wouldn't accept a lie. "Don't laughed, but i wanted to read that book Twilight got for me." she said.

"Oh Dashie, you just had say so, why didn't you?" Fluttershy asked, only to realize the answer for herself. The yellow pegasus blushed.

"Okay, that was too cute for me, just promise you won't tell anypony, and we can get down to it." the blue pegasus said.

"Okay, I promise." Fluttershy said.

The duo then proceeded to carry out the act of love, unaware of a witness outside.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Triple Threat walked away from the window and took a moment to process what she saw. When she had, she flew away smiling. It didn't come as a shock, TT knew Fluttershy had liked RD that way this they were fillies. It was only a matter of time before they got together.

The next morning, Triple went back to the hospital to find Dash outside.

“Hey, you’re free!” Triple cheered.

“Yeah, but I didn’t finish the book.” Dash sighed.

“Why don’t I get it for you?” Triple offered.

“NO! They’ll ask you how you know about it and then you’d have to tell them. Besides, I already have a plan to get the book back” Rainbow Dash said.

Of course Triple could have just told them something else, like she brought the book in and left it there. What Dash was going to do to get the book back couldn’t be good.

“Can you fly?” Triple asked.

“No, they say I just have to stay off the wing for a week.” Dash answered.

“Okay, well let’s get you home, Tank is missing you.” Triple said.

Rainbow Dash and Triple Threat walked home together, talking about Daring Do as they went. Triple had to carry Rainbow up to the door. Tank was glad to see his owner again. After dinner, Rainbow sent Tank to bed and spoke to Triple.

“I need to know how it ends; I’m going for the book.” Dash told her friend.

The red pegasus realized how the cyan pegasus was going to do that.

“Stealing is wrong Dash; just tell the receptionist, they won’t hold it against you.” TT replied.

“Nopony can know.” RD repeated.

"Oh really, you're marefriend knows and that doesn't seem to bother you." Triple snapped. She was tired of Dash being afraid to come out with her secret.

Dash stared. "How do you know that?, We never told anypony." the rainbow haired pegasus asked.

The blue haired pegasus  had to confess how she learned the fact. She could tell RD was annoyed with her.

“Ignore the Mare Do Well signal tonight, okay.” The blue pegasus ordered.

“Okay.” The red pegasus sighed.

She went to finish Daring Do and the Vampire Dagger and fell asleep on the couch. The next morning, Triple was woken up by somepony yelling her name. She went outside to see the rainbow haired pony.

“I was caught and had to fess up, Twilight was more understanding than I had expected.” Dash said. Triple smiled.

“Can you help me with these?” Dash asked.

Next to her was every book in the Daring Do series. Triple carried Dash up, then the books.  Since Rainbow still had to stay off the wing, Triple had to continue doing Dash’s work. She left Dash to her reading and spend the day in town. When the week was done, Rainbow’s wing was healed. After a farewell party (hosted by Pinkie Pie of course) Triple Threat returned to Cloudsdale. Once she got back, she ran into Rainbow Dash’s mother Firefly on the way to work.

“Hey kiddo, how’d it go in Ponyville?” she asked.

“It was great, it was nice to take a break from the factory, I got to hang out with the elemental 6 and your daughter learned she loves reading books.” Triple Threat told the pink pegasus.

Firefly was surprised.

“Wow really, her teachers always had a hard time teaching her to read, she would throw away the books they used.” Firefly said.

Triple Threat laughed. And to think, all it took was for her to bust a wing to find it out.
