Rejection (Rom, Sad)

I’m fine, I mean, it’s not the end of the world or anything. I’m Rainbow Dash for Pete’s sake. I’ve done just fine on my own for my entire life all on my own. I don’t need anyone else, I am independent. I don’t need a special somepony, and I most certainly don’t need Twilight.

Who am I kidding?

I am just sad. I can tell myself whatever I want, I want Twilight but Twilight doesn’t want me. The greatest pegasus in all of Equestria in isn’t good enough for her. Now that I think about it, that really makes sense. There is no one in this world as amazing as Twilight, and she deserves someone equally as great. I’d say that I fit the bill. but apparently she doesn’t think so.

That’s really all that matters I guess. I may think I’m great, but it doesn’t matter unless Twilight thinks so, and if she did then I wouldn’t be here, lying in my bed, skulking. I was so certain.

I had it all planned out. Show up early at the library and help her with anything she asked for. I took her to Sugarcube corner for breakfast, I even payed for her food. I took her to a movie. We got lunch at the cafe. She and I went on a walk. I was planning on taking her to a very special place. Behind Fluttershy’s cottage was a meadow, a beautiful field of lavender. At one edge of the meadow was a weeping willow, I go there all the time, it’s breathtaking.

But then my world came crashing down. She inquired as to why I was being so nice, I casually replied something about friends being nice to one another. Then she stopped dead in her tracks and asked if it was possibly anything more than friendship. I confessed, I spilled it all out. I was hoping she’d understand and maybe even share these feelings. Then she crushed me, crushed my soul. I’ll always remember her rejection.

“I’m not looking for a relationship right now, and if I was I’d look for a stallion. You’re great and all, but I don’t want to risk our friendship.”

She doesn’t get it, how can I be friends with somepony who I love so much, and yet she only feels friendship. I’ll always want more, and someday that will tear us apart. It seems selfish, but that’s who I am.

I mean I’m fine, but who am I kidding?

You really enjoy using that field of lavender in your writing don't you?

The questions you should ask, Rainbow, is this: "Can I do without Twilight Sparkle even just as a friend? Am I strong enough to be only her friend?" and, most importantly: "Will my feelings ultimately poison our friendship?" Only after you have these answers will you be ready to go forwards.
