Rainbow Dash has never been one to express feelings. She’s never been one to accept help, and she’s never been one to show the weaker side.

And, no one will argue, Wonderbolt training is… well, really hard.

One day, Rainbow… almost tears apart her wing, literally. And Soarin, “the coltfriend”, knows she’s taking it too far. Way too far.

But no matter what he does, or will do, or wants to do, it’s like she doesn’t even want help. Even though he knows it would be so simple to just tell Spitfire, tell the Wonderbolts, tell a doctor, tell somepony, she just doesn’t seem to get it.

It’ll take a lot for her to finally understand.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash are visiting Rarity. However, when the first snows of winter suddenly fall--rather than let her friends trudge through the cold on their way home--Rarity invites the two to stay the night at her place.

What started off as a fun night for the three will soon spiral into an embarrassing evening for Rainbow Dash, especially after Rarity unveils to them her newest line of animal-inspired sleepwear.

"You know... I am a fool. Some blinding fool flying around, pretending not to stop for anyone. Tough ponies like me can't be affectionate. I can't give in to feelings, and I can't say them out loud. But you know... You too are a fool. Acting as if you never needed anypony. So, we are both stupid."
