In the end, the prices we pay are worth what we receive in return - and none understand this more than a certain pegasus mare.

Fluttershy tells the story of how a certain Rainbow-colored mare has helped her through all her difficulties in her life and how one fateful choice ended it all.

Author's Notes:

For those wondering where Gilda is, allow me to explain why I didn't put her in. When Fluttershy first meets Gilda in Griffon the Brush Off, she didn't seem to recognize Gilda and vice versa. As such, the Junior Speedsters were always a separate after-school activity in my head so I thought that Fluttershy would have no relation to Gilda.

I need to widen my vocabulary by a lot if my writing is going to get any better. I also need to start writing consistently.

Edit 1: Spelling and Grammer check. Added some important lines to clarify as to why Rainbow would make the choice she did. Re-read is recommended only for the second last scene. Added minor details here and there.

Edit 2: Corrected a lot of things, such as sentence structure and grammer, after a proof reading my JohnPerry (seriously he has helped me drastically) and added a new major scene to provide even further clarification!

What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them? Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings? Hide them? Admit them? And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.

Now with a TvTropes page!

There's also a dramatic reading in progress on youtube, here.

It's a big day for Fluttershy; a day of memories, dreams, pain and peace. But when Cutie Mark Crusaders bring her moment of calm to a sudden and terrifying end, she realises that the the three little fillies' adventures are getting a little out of control. To help them, to keep them safe, Fluttershy decides she needs to tell the story of how she met her strangest, pinkest friend - and confront some old nightmares in the process.

Pinkie Pie is normally your go-to for emergency and not-so-emergency parties, often throwing one for a simple greeting. Going all her life as a party pony, she has nothing else to live for but the party. So what happens when the last balloon is popped, the last gift is opened, and the last candle is blown out?

-NOTE**** This is NOT some messed up twisted Pinkie fiction!

Rainbow Dash isn't afraid of anything, and she has better things to do than sit around worrying about some wussy emotions. But after reading the next Daring Do novel, she suddenly finds her feelings towards her friends changing- and not in ways she's comfortable with...

(May be subject to massive edits, depending on whether I can get over the obligatory irrational[?] hatred. Also, yes, I select the cover images pretty much at random.)

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Everyone has different ways of coping when someone close to them disappears.

Something is definitively up around here. Applejack and Fluttershy have been spending a lot of time together without the rest of the gang. Well, Rainbow Dash is on to them! In fact, she is sure this is the no-good friend-stealing Applejack's doing, and she will not stand for this - whatever this is.

Also, Rainbow Dash wears a corn hat.
