//------------------------------// // Whisper- NintendoGal55 // Story: The FlutterDash Group Collab // by Dalek Saxon //------------------------------// Written by NintendoGal55 *** Taking a few deep breaths, Fluttershy went upstairs to the bedroom. She took her time, with slow, careful steps, but enough to let Rainbow Dash know she was coming up. Her heart sank with regret, while her body felt a mixture of numb and pained. But nothing pained more than the look on Rainbow's face just some time ago. When she came into the room, Rainbow was sitting on the floor near the window, looking out. At the angle she was at, it was clear that she was upset and had been crying. If she heard Fluttershy come in, she didn't acknowledge it whatsoever. She simply sat there. "...Rainbow?" Fluttershy spoke softly, her voice barely a whisper. Rainbow didn't move or respond, but grunted a little. "...It's okay. You don't have to say anything," Fluttershy murmured, approaching her from behind. "I just want you to know that I am very sorry. I know... I know that I apologize a lot, but for this, I truly do need to. I'll leave you alone, but I just want to say this...okay?" Again, she didn't respond, but Rainbow tilted her head lightly as a way to indicate she was listening. Fluttershy sighed, keeping her voice in a whisper as she came closer, "I'm very sorry. What I said was completely out of line, as well as callous and insensitive. I was just a little bit angry, and it had nothing to do with you... But our argument seemed to trigger all of that. However, I'm not about to pass the blame to anyone or anything but me. What I said was stupid, absolutely stupid, and worse off, it hurt you. For that, I deeply apologize. I will not say that again, and I will of course do my very best to keep our arguments where they should be. Using something else as a weapon to win an argument... That's completely ridiculous. I don't even remember why we argued..." Rainbow didn't respond again, she merely hung her head low. "But, we can talk about it later, okay? We'll do that. The best thing we can do is talk to each other. That's what we'll do when you cool down," Fluttershy went on, coming behind her and embracing her. "I love you so much, Dashie. And I want us to work things out. I don't want to fight with you. I want to fight for us. So, Rainbow...when you're ready to talk, let me know. But until then, I hope you know that I am very sorry about what I said. And I hope...you can find it in your heart to forgive me." Still nothing. "...I'll leave you alone, then. We can talk later." She kissed Rainbow's cheek gently, then released her. Moments after she left the room, she heard a soft whisper. "I forgive you, Fluttershy."
