Dash and The Spider

by AkumaNoNeko


Rainbow's Secret

Fluttershy trotted through the streets of Ponyville, towards the outskirts of town, where Rainbow Dash's cloud house was. She was a little nervous about trying to talk to Rainbow about how she had acted. The yellow Pegasus mare was also confused, she had known Rainbow Dash since they were just fillies, and she never in their time together had she seen Rainbow act so strange.

Fluttershy arrived at the bottom, below Rainbow's home. "Well," she sighed, "here goes nothing." And she flapped her wings, rising into the air, up to the cloud. She reached the home in a few minutes, standing at the door, feeling quite nervous. The mare folded her wings into their postion by her sides, and after a moment of contemplating what she would say to the cyan Pegasus, knocked her hoof on the door.

She waited a few moments, there was no answer.

Feeling a bit more nervous, she timidly knocked again.
This time, the door slowly opened a little, the blue Pegasus peeked out.


"Oh.. Uh, hiya Fluttershy," piped up Rainbow, seeming still nervous and jumpy, "whatcha need?"

"Hello Rainbow," Fluttershy said softly, giving a small smile, "Can I come in?"

"Uh.. Sure.." Rainbow Dash squeaked, "say, do you have that.. Uh, spider, with you?"

"No, I left Webster with the girls at Sugar Cube Corner.." The yellow mare told the fast flying Pegasus, "Why do you ask?"

"Oh! Uh, no reason really, I was just wondering where the little guy was," she gave an awkward smile, opening the door a bit more and stepped aside to allow Fluttershy to come in.

Fluttershy walked into the mare's home, looking around a bit and sitting down on a plush blue and white loveseat. Rainbow Dash soon joined her, sitting aross from her on a matching chair on the other side of a little white painted wood coffee table.

"So why'd you run out on us earlier when I showed up with Webster?" Fluttershy said, looking at the blue mare, wide-eyed.

"Oh, I.. Uh, um..." Rainbow stuttered, looking nervous and shocked, "I um..."

"You're afraid of spiders, aren't you, Rainbow?" Fluttershy said with a small, but solemn smile.

The cyan Pegasus mare sighed defeatedly.

"You got me, Flutters" she said frowning sadly.
