" being the best was the only thing you had to look forward to in life. " Twilight questioned wondering what in Equestira Dash was talking about.
"Dash what are you..." "SHUT UP!" Dash shouted before Twilight had a chance to finish. "Somepony like you that has always had everything gave to you on a silver platter would NEVER understand what I have gone through!" Dash burst out as she slowly broke down into tears.
"Dash you just said that that isn't who you truly are but if that's the case....then just why are you?" Twilight questioned
"I....I'm just so sick of putting on this fake facade, everyone expects me to be so tough, but the problem is I'm just not as tough nor brave as everypony seems to think!" Dash stated as she become more engulfed in a plume of emotions by the second.
"Listen Dash...know one expects you to! it's all in your head just...learn to be yourself....”

Back at the library Spike was hard at work organizing the library for Twilight's you know just the usual, Dusting off shelves organizing book's alphabetically when out of seemingly no where he let out a “BUUURP” as a small jet like flame shot out of his mouth and with it came a letter.
“wow” spike thought to himself “That sure came out of nowhere!” spike said as he reached down to pick up the letter. “Man I wonder what the princess could possibly want” spike though to himself as he slowly unrolled the brown paper letter and started to read aloud.
“Dear spike It has come to my attention that
Dash and twilight's stay in that dark void
should be coming to and end soon, However
It seems the have wandered slightly off course
therefore I will have to use my magic to locate
them and then send some pony in to notify them
that the portal is open, Please tell the rest of the
four to meet at the library at noon...Thank you
spike and I believe that you will notify them ASAP
Celestia
“
“Yes finally!” Spike thought to himself, Although it had only been roughly three days since Twilight”s departure spike was more than glad to hear that Twilight would be returning soon, mostly due to the fact that he was getting tired of trying to take care of everything by himself, even though the library wasn't particularity busy over the last three days it was still more than the little dragon cared to mange by himself.
“Man,who should I go to first?” Spike thought aloud, “I know, Rarity!” Spike reasoned, well mostly because he had a huge crush on Rarity, But the boutique just so happened to be the closet to the library anyway.

Back in the void of darkness Rainbow Dash was awe struck by what Twilight has said.....”Learn to be myself” Dash slowly pondered at the idea and to be honest she had no idea what Twilight was getting at
when out of nowhere “BAWHAHA” Dash out of seemingly nowhere fell over laughing....”Twi..that had to be the CHEASEST thing I have ever heard!”
Twilight just stared at Dash with confusion. To Twilight this made no sense whatsoever...”How could anypony be on the edge of despair one moment and then just randomly burst into hysterical laughter the next? “
“HAHA,oh come on Twi whats with that look?” Dash asked wiping a tear from her left eye.
“well, for one WHAT is so funny!?” Twilight said starting out in nearly a whisper and ending with a near bellow.
“Nothing” Dash said rather flatly But then blushed slightly before turning he head to the side and pawing her right forehoof at the dark ground beneath her and then returning her gaze to twilight with an even brighter blush confusing Twilight even more. “I ugh Just kinda think you're egg headynysh is um kinda cute I guess” Dash finished her voice barley above a whisper as she slowly leaned forward and gave Twilight a quick peck on the cheek
Twilight stunned by the event that had just happened to her nearly jumped and fell backward in surprise. “Wha tha bu...WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT FOR!” Twilight finally managed to scream out still half dazed.
“What do you mean Twi? You told be to learn to be myself...So that's what I did” Dash said sounding rather proud of herself for taking Twilight's advice.
“Wait wait wait...So then what you're telling me is that, you like mares” Twilight asked still quite puzzled by the turn of events that had recently taken place.
“Well, not mares as in more than one. But the one standing in front of me right now....yes.” Dash said still feeling a little embarrassment at what she had just done.

Back in Ponyville spike had just finished telling the rest of the 4 about the letter and was walking back to the library with them when they heard a distinct buzzing sound that seemed to be growing closer with every send that passed, when all of a sudden “SWOOSH” as they saw an orange blur go flying past them at break neck speeds and come to a sudden stop in front of them. The 5 started to cough as the dust slowly settled in front of them reveling non other than the orange Cutie mark crusader herself Scootaloo.
“Hey guys!” Scootalo greeted as she unbuckled her helmet and took it off.
“Uh...Hey Scootalo how ya doin” Applejack greeted In her usual southern accent .
Scootaloo frowned slightly “Alright..I guess, Saw have you seen Rainbow Dash around lately I usually Go watch her practice over sweet apple acres but I haven't seen her around lately” Scootalo said sounding slightly more concerned with each word.
Applejack looked down at the little filly and couldn't help but feel at least a little bit saddened by her concern. “we're heading over to twilight's library right now sugercube to prepare for their return” Applejack said with a smile “wanna come” Asked Applejack.
Scootaloo looked at the four with confusion “Sure?” She said sounding confused.
“Oh dear, I guess we'll explain on the way then, but we better get moving soon if we don't want to be late” Rarity stated.
Back in the void of abyss Twilight was pacing back and forth trying to wrap her head around just what Rainbow Dash had done earlier, She just couldn’t figure it out. “In the past Dash never showed that kind of....er love for me so then why now” She asked her self still pacing back and forth.
“Uh hello earth to Twilight” Dash motioned waving a hoof in front of Twilight snout. “you in there?”
Dash said jokingly.
“Uh yea sure Rainbow Dash” Said Twilight half heartily.
“Jeez Twilight, What has gotten into you all of a sudden....I mean one moment your fine and now you're freaking out about a little kiss on the cheek!” Dash exclaimed Flying back and fourth in front of Twilight.
“Dash can I ask you something?” Twilight said as she stopped pacing and looked Dash straight In the eyes.
“Sure Twi...I mean you just did didn't you?” Dash said as she landed in front of Twilight.
“Rainbow Dash........How long have you had these, ugh feelings for me?” Twilight asked timidly as she continued to look Dash Straight in her magenta colored eyes.
Rainbow Dash all of a sudden felt her face start to heat up and she was sure Twilight would notice her face as her cheeks started to turn red. “Twilight, that was just a little pe-” Dash was interrupted by Twilight. “NO!” Yelled Twilight “I could see it in your eyes the moment you got close to me, so don't you DARE try to play it off as...er something else” Twilight finished
“Listen Twilight, I have always admired you, from the first day you showed up in Ponyville I....Just couldn’t help but feel happy when I was around you, I don't know why I have the feelings but I do, and from the way i'm feeling now I doubt that will ever change.” As dash felt her cheeks get even hotter.
“R-Rainbow Dash” Twilight said softly I-I Twilight gulped at what she was about to say....”I-I ADMIRE YOU TO!” Twilight blurted out before she could possibly think to stop herself.
“Y-you do1” Dash asked surprised.
Twilight walked over to Rainbow Dash and put her hooves around her and very lightly. “In fact Dash I would even go a step further and say” Twilight drew even closer to Dash’s ear and whispered “I love you dash”
Dash was taken back by this and actually outright surprised, She thought that Twilight might have had feeling for her buy “She loved her” Now it was dashes turn to wrap her mind around what she just heard. Dash slightly backed away from Twilight before leaning forward and embracing her with tears starting to forum in her eyes she whispered back “I love you to...egghead” And with that they both pulled slightly away from each other before they both stared at each other.
As they stared their lips started to get closer with each second that passed both of their minds at ease to know that whatever happened or had happened that they always have each other. As their lips were ALMOST touch
“Hey girls, OHHH I GET IT!” The part pony exclaimed pering out of a White and purple vortex. “So you two are like reallyreallyreallyreally close Friends!” Pinkie said in her normal hyper way.
“PINKIE HOW THE HAY DID YOU GET HERE!” Both Dash and Twilight shouted in unison.
“ahha so it's true you CAN break the fourth wall!” Dash screamed aloud....
“Don't be a silly filly Rainbow Dash” Pinkie Said with excitement in her voice “Celesta sent me hear to get you two...It's time to go home!”
Both Dash and Twilight sighed with a mixture of relief from finally being able to go home after...Celestia knows how long, and regret for not being able to finish their moment.
