//------------------------------// // Twilights Warning // Story: A Broken Butterfly // by Durant //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could towards the library, nothing was going to slow her down. The sooner she got there the sooner she would get back to Fluttershy. As she near the big tree house she flew down, laying on the front pouch and knocked on the door. Rainbow waited a few second, but no one opened the door or called for her to come in. Rainbow smiled realizing she would not have to talk to Twilight, she turned around and started to fly away when she heard a voice behind her. “And where do you think you’re going?” The voice asked. Rainbow froze and slowly turned around to see Twilight looking at her disapprovingly from the doorway. “You didn't answer so I was going to-“Rainbow started. “NO! You are going to come in here, sit down, and hopeful you’ll understand what I tell you this time.” Twilight told her walking in. Rainbow hesitated for a few seconds, but slowly flew in behind Twilight and sat down at a table, Twilight sat down across from her. “So then, are there any excuses you want to throw out before we start?” Twilight asked. “I didn't disobey you Twi, you said I could hold her if she need to be held” Rainbow Dash said. “You're right, I did say that. There was nothing wrong with what I saw, but there is one thing i need to ask you.” Twilight said looking at Rainbow, her eyes narrowed. “What is it?” Rainbow asked. “Why did you lie to Applejack and Rarity?” Twilight accused. “I didn’t li-“Rainbow Dash stopped herself and thought about that morning. Her eyes widen when she remembered the lie she told. “They were very worried about Fluttershy, they had no idea where she was. I know for a fact she was with you at that time, so why do you lie to our friends?” Twilight asked “I…I…I just wanted to spend time alone with Fluttershy. I know that I should have told Applejack and Rarity the truth, but I guess my emotions got in the way” Rainbow Dash explained. “I told you yesterday that Fluttershy was going to need all of us in order for her to get better. Don’t try to help her by yourself, I asked you to work with Applejack and you said you would.” Twilight said. “I understand, I won’t lie again. I’ll also make sure Applejack knows were Fluttershy is at all times .” Rainbow assured Twilight. “Ok, I don’t want to have this talk again, you’re free to go.” Twilight told her. Rainbow Dash Smiled and slowly flew towards the door, "I'm planning to have Fluttershy spend the night with me again, so if Applejack asks, you know where to send her." Rainbow said. Twilight nodded as Rainbow quickly flew off. “Here we are, sugar cube” Applejack said opening the door to Fluttershy cottage. As Fluttershy walked in, her animals flocked to her. They all hugged her and some even kissed her, Angel climbed on her back and jump a little. Fluttershy smiled at all of them, walked over to the couch, and sat down just to enjoy their company for a little bit. Rarity started to walk down stairs to see what all the noise was about. Rarity was surprised to see Fluttershy and Applejack. “Fluttershy, how are you feeling today, darling?” Rarity asked. Fluttershy didn't answer she just picked up and Angel and gave him a hug. Rarity watched as Fluttershy pet her animals, and walked over to Applejack. “So, were is Pinkie?” Applejack asked. “Upstairs, asleep, when I got back the poor dear was worn out” Rarity answered. “Pinkie Pie, Tried, never seen that before” Applejack laughed a little bit, and Rarity laughed a little bit too. “How was Fluttershy’s recovery?” Rarity asked. “She won’t say much, she apologized for running away yesterday. The rest of time we tried to get her to say her name, but she wouldn't say all of it.” Applejack answered. “At least she is talking, unlike yesterday” Rarity said trying to look on the bright side. Applejack looked at Rarity and gave her a weak smile. “I guess I should be heading home now.” Applejack said walking towards the door, “Oh, and Rainbow should be coming by to pick up Fluttershy later” Applejack said, as she opened the door and walked out. "Good night Applejack, have a safe trip home." Rarity called to her as she walked out. "Same to you." Applejack called back. Twilight opened a new book she just bought and started to read it, only she having a hard time getting though the first few lines. For some reason what Rarity had said earlier was bugging her. All she could hear was “The next thing I now you’re going to tell me you’re into mares”, it repeated over and over again in her head. “Why am I thinking about this so much? Rarity was just joking around, she didn't mean anything by it.” Twilight tried to rationalize what she was thinking, slowly rarity voice disappeared. Twilight smiled, and tried to read again, but Raritys words returned. Twilight shook her head a little was she heard was "The next thing I now you’re going to tell me you’re into mares.”. “That is enough” Twilight said to herself, and closed her book. She walked over to a shelf and looked for a book she never though she would open for herself. As she scanned the shelf until she found it, she levitated it off the shelf and read the title “Are You A Filly-fooler”. Twilight shivered slightly reading the title and opened up it to the first page, and started reading. A knock was heard at Fluttershys door, and Rarity opened it. As she did Rainbow Dash walked in and looked at Rarity. “Hey Rare, how’s Fluttershy?” Rainbow asked looking around the room for her. “She is upstairs, taking a shower right now, she should be done any second now.” Rarity answered. "Maybe I should go up and make sure she is ok." Rainbow Dash said half jokingly, walking toward the stars smiling, "No you don't, you are going to sit down and wait for her." Rarity said firmly. “ Fine.” Rainbow sighed. sitting down on the nearby couch. “So, how was your talk with Twilight?” Rarity asked sitting down in the chair across from her. “Oh, it was ok, she just told me not to get to close to Fluttershy, while she is in this state” Rainbow Dash answered not telling the whole truth. “Did you notice anything…odd about twilight while you two talked?” Rarity asked. “Odd in what way?” Rainbow asked back. “Did she seem like she was hi-“Rarity was cut off by an excited, yet quite voice. “Rainbow” Fluttershy said come down the stairs. Fluttershy quickly walked over to Rainbow Dash and hugged her. “I’d ask if you missed me, but I think the answer is obvious.” Rainbow joked. Rainbow hugged Fluttershy, and gave her a kiss on the muzzle. Fluttershy blushed slightly and hide her face with her mane. “Sorry Rare, what were you asking?” Rainbow Dash asked turning her attention back to Rarity. “Don’t worry about, it’s not important?” Rarity said laughing a bit. “Shy, are you ready to go back?” Rainbow Dash asked. “She could stay here for night if she wants” Rarity told Rainbow. “Ya, but there are already two ponies staying here/ It's a bit crowded, don’t you think?” Rainbow pointed out. “I suppose your right” Rarity answered looked around at the crowed room. Rarity looked back towards Rainbow, but all she saw a fading rainbow trail leading out the door. Rarity closed the door, and sighed softly. Applejack walked into the house letting the screen door slam behind her. She looked in the kitchen to see Applebloom and Big Mac, who were finishing up dinner, and Granny Smith was washing a few dishes. Applejack sat down next to Applebloom, and Granny walked towrds Applejack. “I’m glad you got back before your dinner got to cold” Granny Smith told her granddaughter, placeing a plate in front of her. On the plate was off sorts of different flowers, oats, and a few nuts. Applejack ate slowly, everyone could tell something was wrong. “Applejack, what's wrong” Applebloom asked, Applejack didn't reply. “Is it about Fluttershy?” Big Mac asked, Applejack nodded. “What’s wrong with her?” Applebloom asked. Applejack sighed and looked at her family members. “She won’t talk, I couldn't even get her to say her name. Not only that, she is very nervous around everyone and downright scared of Stallions. Now I’m starting to think she is getting very attached to Rainbow, which is ok, I just hope Rainbow doesn't do anything to upset Fluttershy.” Applejack explained. “Any plans on how to help her?” Big Mac asked. “No, not really I can’t even…” Applejack trailed off and looked at her brother. “On second thought I do have an idea,Big Mac are you busy tomorrow?" "No, why?" Big Mac asked. "You'll see, Applejack said getting up from her sit "I'm pretty tiered, I'm going to hit the hay. See ya'll in the morning." Big Mac shivered a little bit as he watched Applejack go up to her room. “Something wrong?” Granny Smith asked. “I don’t like the way she said that?” Big Mac answered. Rainbow Dash land outside her door with Fluttershy right behind her. Rainbow opened the door and Fluttershy walked, Rainbow walking and closed the door behind her. Fluttershy looked at Rainbow, Rainbow Smiled know what she wanted. "You want to cuddle again, don't you shy?" Rainbow asked. Fluttershy just nodded and sat on the couch, Rainbow sat next to her and wrapped her hoofs and wings around Fluttershy. As they cuddled they slowly feel asleep together in each others hoofs.
