In the mind there are hidden desires like the stuff of both fantasy and nightmares. For Rainbow Dash, she struggles with the fact that the pony she loves is too young to date. And even then she knows what would happen if anypony found out that she even thought of a filly, and even other fillies like that. To seek the necessary help she hopes that by confiding to her friends that they'll help her see reason to this odd mental state she finds herself in. But when revealing one's secrets, she may find out that it may not always be the correct way to reveal her secret; even at the cost of her delusional romance with Scootaloo.

Thank you so much to retroman000 and Feather Note for their awesome editing.

A terrifying creature has arrived in Ponyville and is attacking a young pegasus filly named Lightning Strike. Rainbow Dash and her friends try to save her, but when they do, Scootaloo is put in serious danger as the creature starts to use her as a pawn.

Not long ago Rainbow adopted Scootaloo as her own daughter. The creature offers Rainbow Dash a deal. Leave with Scootaloo and be safe, or fight and risk her daughter being killed. Rainbow knows she can't abandon a filly, even one she doesn't know very well, but with her daughter being targeted, she may be compelled to do some things she'll eventually regret.

However, if you're interested, here is the story that precedes this one, though it isn't necessary to enjoy this story:

Applejack realizes one morning that Rainbow Dash has apparently moved in with her. This discovery surprises Dash more than a little, too, and sets off a chain of events neither could have imagined.

The original minific version of this story came in fifth in the Dec. 2015 Writeoff Association contest, "Things Left Unsaid." And the full, three-chapter-and-an-epilogue version won 3rd place in The Fourth AppleDash Contest: A Little Twist of Lemon using the categories "A Life-Changing Event" and "An Important or Memorable Date."

This story is a sequel to Promises

Scootaloo's settling in to life with Rainbow Dash. It's smooth sailing from here right?

Once again this story wouldn't be possible without the pre-reading and editing efforts of:

juter4397, The Patriot, eggynack

So if you like this, go give them a thumbs up.

You probably don't need to read Promises to understand what's going on, but it would be useful.

Featured on day 1, thanks guys.

When Rainbow Dash learns that her number one fan is being abused, how far will she go to keep Scootaloo safe?

Rather than update this box every time I post a new chapter, it's safe to assume that all my chapters are pre-read and edited by:

The Patriot, eggynack, and juter4397

and they're all great, so if you liked this go give them a thumbs up or something.

Woot, I made the featured tab! (For like an hour, but it still counts)

Sequel is here
