Alright guys, this is my first story, just to let you all know. Another quick note is that I haven't sent this through an editor yet either. So, feel free to give me your constructive criticism, and maybe some tips for the future, as I am pretty new out here. While typing this up, I'm not even sure how to submit a story, let alone edit this later for chapters, just to give you a hint as to my level of experience. Anything that you've got, though, I'm all ears! Thanks for reading!

Rainbow Dash receives a letter from an old friend detailing their harsh foalhood and resurfacing memories she had tried to forget
"You didn't tell them did you.
You didn't tell your friends that you grew up in a dilapidated orphanage. You didn't tell them you endured years of child abuse. You didn't tell them that everypony told you that you'd never be special. You didn't tell them your father gave you up because he spent all his bits drowning his sorrows in cider. You didn't tell them of the little family you made, and of the happiness they brought you. Of our flight sessions beneath the stars, wings and hearts beating in tandem."
"And look what it has cost you."

They wouldn't understand anyway

A HUGE THANKS TO MY PREREADER/EDITOR WhatMakesaRainbow

Applejack and Rainbow have been secretly dating behind their friends' backs for a couple of months. However over the course of time Rainbow has found the farmer constantly making excuses to avoid her, and it seems that she is too busy for anything. It's a peaceful day, Rainbow is just taking it easy, doing her job just like everypony else, when she gets word that Applejack wants to see her right away. Unfortunately the news is terrible... It turns out that the mare of Rainbow's dreams had been lying to her all along...

Everything seems like it is spiralling out of control for the poor peagsus, and she seeks refuge in the one friend that she knows that will help her in time of need. Will Rainbow be able to piece back the parts of her broken heart? Will the now destroyed friendship between Rainbow and Applejack, be able to go back to normal after what happens? Does Applejack deserve to be forgiven for what choices she has made?

They say when one door closes, that another one opens... But why must some doors cause so much pain and suffering when they close?

Humiliation and defeat. These are the emotions that Rainbow Dash has felt ever since the new hero Mare-Do-Well showed up. She's better than her at everything, she's stronger, more agile, and somehow she may even be faster than Rainbow Dash herself. At the lowest point in her life Rainbow then visits a place that she never visited much before but she's also not the only one visiting when she comes across a black substance. The creature has promised her power beyond believe, enough to bring down Mare-Do-Well, and also seems to understand her pain. The moment the deal is made Rainbow Dash is gone. All that is left.... is Venom.

*Edit 2/5 Hippogriffs have been replaced by horses for the role of the asgaridans and the talk between Dash and Venom as well as her fight with Mare-Do-Well is extended a little.

Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie are severely injured. Rainbow is waiting in the hospital for any news about their health. When she doesn't agree with what the doctors are planning to do, she goes in search of a way to save them. But how far will she go to protect them? And how much pain is she willing to go through before she breaks?

Magic, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Honesty, Loyalty. They're all gone, left. Rainbow Dash was the only one who really wanted for them to stay. Rainbow Dash blamed herself for it, but she knew it wasn't her fault. "Why wold this be happening?" Dash might never know. She was scared, and still is. Now she just sits by the old pond a few miles out of town thinking. She doesn't look back, she doesn't want to see a burning town.

What lengths would you go to for family? Would you care for them? Be honest with them? Keep a secret for them? Sometimes, family relationships can become strained or volatile. But once you feel love towards your kin, it never truly dies. A certain dress-maker from Ponyville can attest to that fact, in more than one situation. But when a secret she and her sister tried to hide begins to fall apart, a secret that hides a past so painful it brings tears to her eyes just to think of, will she be able to tell the ponies she loves the truth?
