//------------------------------// // New Face // Story: Crystalling College: Rainbow Dash Edition // by StarryCandy //------------------------------// "Everyone, may I have your attention." The intercom announced. "There is a dark force lurking around this school. Stay secure and alert to your surroundings." The voice of the principal went off the intercom. Dash laid in her bed, pulling the covers up. "She must have meant the smoke from before...." Dash muttered to herself, remembering the smoke leaving the library. It's possible Twilight informed Cadence. "Hmmm. I should look for it; it's part of my responsibility as well." Dash ran out of the room to look for any evidence. As soon as Dash screeched to a halt in the hallway, she bumped into someone. They staggered and fell. "Ouch...." They muttered at the same time. They both rubbed their hit spot. Dash opened her eyes first. In front of her is a girl with light pink hair that fell past her shoulders and ended at her waist. She wore a yellow sweatshirt that looked all too warm in the month of August. Something clicked in Dash's mind. She had seen her somewhere, but where....? "Weren't you on that bus with that marshmallow-colored girl?" Dash asked. The girl's teal eyes widened. "Eeep!" She hid herself under her hair. Dash got up and walked up to her. "Come on, I'm not going to hurt you. All I want to know is if you were the one bullied on that bus just a few seats in front of me." Dash promised. The girl looked at her from beneath her hair. "A-are you not g-going to h-hurt me?" The girl stuttered. "Of course not! I wouldn't hurt anyone. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Dash did the Pinkie promise (They did not meet yet) and smiled. The girl straightened. "I-I wanted to know if those rumors were true...." The girl said softly. "What rumors?" Dash asked. The girl hesitated. "That you were abusing students lately and bragging about yourself around the halls." She said meekly. Dash looked shocked. Only one person was spreading those fake rumors with everyone believing it. Dash thought. And that was Snowflake Swirl! "Anyways, let's clear my question up first. Was it you who was on that bus?" Dash asked. The girl nodded slowly. "Your name?" Dash asked her. The girl looked down. "F-fluttershy...." She said so quietly that it was almost inaudible. Dash, who had killer hearing, heard her name. "Fluttershy?" Dash asked. Fluttershy nodded. "I'm Rainbow Dash. Nice to meetcha." Dash took out her hand in a shaking gesture. Fluttershy slowly took it. They shook hands and parted ways. But, they will see each other again soon. Hello! It's me again. This chap was short. I am slowly running out of ideas, so add some in the comments. I promise I will use all of them in the next few chapters!😄
