Lightning Dust's Revenge, Fluttershy's Torment.
Lightning Dust had convinced Fluttershy to allow her into her home. She had told the timid mare that she had some information about Rainbow Dash that should be kept private. Fluttershy wasn't sure but she knew that Rainbow Dash wasn't in town and figured she could deal with it herself. The usually quiet pegasus offered Lightning Dust some tea which was refused vehemently. This wasn't a social visit she had a goal in mind. Lightning Dust's only goal was to make Rainbow Dash suffer. She had the articles and offending material on Rainbow Dash on a side pouch that was on her pack. She had all the necessary things for her revenge plan and it was going better than she imagined.
With Rainbow Dash out the way I can easily torment her little lover with facts and pictures that she was probably kept from. The information in my pack will be able to send any pony away from her. Simply put I am going to destroy her relationship before destroying her. She deserves it. She was the one who ruined my life so it's only fair I ruin hers. I will feel kind of bad about having to make such an innocent pony cry, but it's something I must do. She is stupid enough to be with such a vile pony and regardless of her innocence she has to be dealt a blow if I am going to break them apart.
They had both sat around the tea table with Fluttershy sipping some warm tea and Angel Bunny in a defensive stance ready to kick some flank. He wasn't going to let some no pony hurt Fluttershy. Though he regarded every Pony besides Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash as some no pony. Fluttershy started with a small smile trying to use kindness as a weapon. "So what is this information you bring that is urgent?" She said slowly as if whatever the other pony wanted to say would be nothing to her. She didn't need to hear about Rainbow's past to know it was rough. Rainbow Dash never opened up to her about her misdeeds and when asked she changed the subject. Only recently she found out about Vinyl and her make out session and it was a bit ... stinging but it wasn't break up worthy.
Lightning Dust smiled with evil thoughts pouring from her mind. The atmosphere was unsettling but she wanted the tense mood to help with the stinging blows that she would verbally launch. "Well as you know Rainbow Dash is a big time star, as such I am sure you know sometimes celebrities can get out of control... " she paused for dramatic effect, "So I was wondering just how much do you know about her drug habits?"
Fluttershy blinked and spit her tea. "Drug Habits... Rainbow Dash doesn't do drugs... " She said defensively. Rainbow Dash wasn't the kind of pony to succumb to pressure and abuse chemicals, what happened before they got together was already forgiven for. "She may have done some... during her mental collapse.. but she is doing fine now and isn't on drugs anymore.. if all you have is old news then I suggest you leave." She said with a tone that betrayed her nature. She wasn't a fighter but she wasn't going to let anyone tarnish her lover's reputation with old stories.
Lightning Dust didn't expect that... surely she thought some pony as innocent as the shy mare wouldn't deal with a druggie. Then maybe she isn't so innocent after all. "I am sorry that struck a chord, but I have no intention of leaving till your mare returns. I am trying to have a pleasant conversation. I suggest you behave or I will hurt you." She said with a dark tone. The plan wasn't going the way she wanted but she had other means of hurting ponies.
Fluttershy grew small and quiet and was sensing that this pony wasn't mentally stable. Without Rainbow Dash to protect her she could be beaten or worse... she didn't want any pony touching her like that. Her body was meant for Rainbow only and it had to stay that way. "Ok..." She said defeated. She was soft speaking and hiding behind her hair. She was shy again,
"Good... now I just have to ask... how can a sweet beautiful mare like yourself even stoop to being with a slut like Rainbow Dash... you know she probably had sex with half of Equestria... well half the mares at least. That is what reports say. Many mares have come forward saying they were targeted by her and used. Their hearts broken and their families shamed. Some were even married and had divorces thanks to Rainbow's lustful attacks. Did she even stop to apologize to any of them? No she didn't she kept on using and abusing mares just for her own selfish pleasure. You are a beautiful young mare with a whole life ahead of you and yet...." She said with a shocked tone "You settled for a slut like her?" She finished with Disgust the question more rhetorical then inquisitve.
Fluttershy just looked down, she wasn't enjoying the conversation and was too scared to stop her verbal assaulter. She just stayed silent in hopes she would just leave. Angel Bunny was ready to rampage all over her but felt how scared Fluttershy was and didn't want to put her in danger in case he couldn't take out the would be victim.
Lightning Dust was starting to become satisfied her rage almost dissipating as she decided to continue on. This is getting fun, with any luck she might break up with Rainbow Dash before the conversation is over. That little bunny better watch his step before I turn him into stew and feed him to a gryphon. " Besides her lewd acts and copious affairs Rainbow Dash had also been very violent while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She had left many stallions battered and barely breathing. Her rampages left broken bones and shattered prides all over Equestria. Not one arrest was made... people were too afraid of her. That is the sort of pony you can love and admire? A tyrant? She was guilty of many crimes and yet not once was she taken to court. She broke into pony's homes and constantly broke laws and property. She was a wreck and yet you sit here with your fancy house able to enjoy it all because the monster you love is paying for it?" She was on a roll, the sight of the mare shrinking before her was getting her all fired up, She was going to continue this sort of attack and wasn't going to feel bad. This was her revenge.

Canterlot Castle was quiet this day. The princess of the day was alone and in her thoughts. I can't believe that happened. I thought my love for Twilight Sparkle was platonic, and I gave into temptation so easily. I shouldn't even be allowed to rule with my awful decisions. I feel even more awful since Flash is into twilight. He is a good stallion and can make her happy and give her a family without abusing ancient magic. Why did I kiss her and why did I continue on with the night as I did. I should have stopped her from bringing me to that library... I didn't and I was a pony in power. I am such a foal.
Luna had been worried about Celestia since the night of the party. She came back in the morning and hadn't looked clean. Luna suspected something between her sister and her sister's protege turned princess. It was funny while it was rumors and jokes. Now that the suspicions were true she knew that her sister wouldn't be able to focus if her heart truly belonged to the young alicorn. Being immortal didn't mean being above mortal whims and emotions. Lust, love, passion, romance, heartache, etc. They weren't as important to alicorns as they were to other ponies, but they were still present.
Twilight Sparkle arrived with Flash Sentry in tow. Celestia's heart was slowly breaking. She didn't want to see them close together after Celestia and Twilight shared a steamy night of passion. The thought of seeing her with another pony so close was infuriating but being a princess meant being above such petty feelings and continuing the tasks given. "Twilight Sparkle how are you this fine day my most faithful student?" She asked putting on a facade so she wasn't giving any hints as to their previous encounter that one night.
"I am doing well princess Celestia. I was just coming over for a visit when Flash Sentry decided to tag along." She said hinting that she wanted to see her but was bothered by her guard to be accompanied. "I sometimes wish I lived in Canterlot so we could be closer." Another signal that was meant for Celestia to understand. The sun goddess' heart started to thump in her chest rapidly. Twilight continued walking closer while Flash obliviously followed. "So my dear princess Celestia do you wish to spend some time together in private? I have some urgent news to discuss that is for Princess' only" She said with a wink.
Luna caught on to the act.. it was a signal for them to have some private time and yet the guard would most likely be nosy and she decided that she could just this once play along and interfere. "That is quite a coincidence Twilight I was just meaning to speak with Flash Sentry about accompanying me on a stroll around Canterlot. I was going to get my guards but since I noticed you were here with yours and aren't using him I could borrow him for a few?" She mock asked as if Twilight wasn't going to say yes.
Celestia was internally beaming. I am going to definitely give Luna anything she wants as a reward for this. "Perfect... so then shall we go. I would love to discuss the urgent news and since it sounds serious I am guessing that Luna you may have to go for a long stroll while we discuss this news in detail." She was so obvious about it that only a moron could not understand her implications.
Flash Sentry was the biggest moron in Equestria. Even though Twilight was sometimes bashful around him, he didn't get the hint and he was in love with Twilight. He wanted to be more than a guard to her. Unbeknownst to him he was just going a long with a plan that was basically giving his love a free chance to get some goddess nooky. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed then again that is why he is a royal guard and not adviser. "Alright then Luna... I shall keep you safe and sound." He said with a puffed out chest and flared wings. He was showing pride and behind his backs the three princesses were giggling. He literally needed a brain if he was going to be with someone as studious as Twilight. Then again if Twilight and the princess hit it off his chances of obtaining some alicorn nooky was zip.

Rainbow Dash was bored, to say she was bored is an understatement. All she had to read in the lobby was old magazines of her and her interviews. She was being eyed carefully as other patients and guests of patients were wondering if that was the real Rainbow Dash. She wasn't answering any whispers because she didn't want attention. Suddenly a stallion comes up trying to look his finest.
"Excuse me gorgeous," mistake number one.. never hit on the dash "I was wondering if you would like to have lunch with me," mistake number two never ask the dash out on a date unless the dash is single and you are a hot mare. "I don't know if you know me but I am a huge fan and I would love to get to know you." Mistake number three was repeating mistake number one and two while bolstering how much of a fan you are.
Rainbow Dash half way grunted a no and ignored him. She wasn't in the mood to be hit on by anyone. She had her Flutters at home and that was all she needed. She especially didn't want to be hit on by no stallion. Unless it was like a stallion version of herself. That would be hot. She was waiting for Pinkie Pie to be finished. It had been half an hour already and yet no signs of anything. She wondered why she didn't just have Twilight do some convoluted spell to enter Pinkie's brain and destroy the darkness from within. She was picturing how it would be like and then realized that Twilight can sometimes mess up and ... that is never a good thing. She wouldn't want to be cleaning Pinkie Pie soup off the walls.
The stallion defeated and his pride destroyed decided to walk away and sit back in his spot. He was an exceptionally fine looking stallion so he never thought any mare would turn him down. Stupid celebrity mare... just because she is famous. What gives her the right to refuse me. She is lucky she is a strong mare otherwise I would just rut her till she enjoyed it... whoa no wonder I am here today I need help.

Applejack was at her farm... she was doing what she could to feel useful and was surveying the workers do their job. Because of the workers being new some of the trees still had apples on it. She was starting to get upset with their work ethic. If it was someone like Rainbow Dash she wouldn't have stopped till all the trees were bucked if dared. Yet these stallions are getting paid to work and are doing worse than the easy to trick pony. She was about to yell when something caught her eye.
Rarity was slowly making her way with her head hung down in shame hoping her humble and submissive approach would be received with somewhat dignity. She wanted to apologize and truly felt awful for ignoring her friend and even making her feel like a nuisance. She waited to be spoken to since she knew that she had no room to speak out first until the farm pony wanted to listen.
Applejack was half way between throwing a hoof to her face or just letting it go and walking away. How dare she show her face around here after treating me like some trash. Ah had gifted her some really nice things that Ah made to show thanks and she goes on treating me like dirt. "Why I have half a mind ta buck ya in the jaw, Rarity, how could ya do that ta me?" She said trying to hold back the hurt and just express the anger. "Ya remember how Rainbow behaved when she was becoming some hoity toity celebutante, and I thought that you of all ponies would have remembered how it felt ta be treated badly." She was angry and pregnant, so her moods were wild at times.
Rarity just took the harsh words and sighed "Please... Applejack I am very truly sorry Darling. I never meant to get so worked up but I was in the process of dealing with a high profile client... I made a lot of money from him and he is going to spread the word... So I know while it was awful to hurt you... you have to see it from my perspective. I have this chance to become a great fashion designer and well respected. Would you not have done the same?" She asked trying to reason with the angry soon to be mother.
Applejack snorted "Well if it ain't Rainbow Dash the second, friends are alright as long as they don't interfere with the dreams an' all right? I am ashamed of you Sugar Cube... " she said softly getting really close to Rarity who was ready to take a blow. "I always thought ya were a great fashion designer and I respect you. Every pony in Ponyville wears yer frou frou outfits when they want to be all fancy like. I even wore some of yer dresses. Remember?" She asked while feeling like she was talking to a wall. She remembered her conversation with Rainbow Dash was similar. She didn't want to experience that kind of emotional torment again and with her foal on the way it wasn't healthy.
Rarity blushed at the compliment the usually emotionally reserved farm pony just told her that she was something special, in her own way. "I ... I am sorry Applejack can you ever forgive me?" She asked softly before nuzzling the angry farm pony. "I really feel bad for hurting you, after all you were just trying to hand me some nice treats..." she said ashamed.
Applejack just smiled and tipped her stetson back. "Of course I forgive ya, jus' don't do that again." She said while poking her side with her hoof. The usually elegant mare didn't react with disgust about dirt as she usually would because something about what Applejack said really hit her hard. Was she becoming Rainbow Dash? Would she leave Ponyville and become a celebrity who ignored her friends? Was she even capable of being all that important to a town of ponies to even be missed? She wasn't a super speedy cloud moving awesome machine.. she was just a simple fashion pony. What could possibly go wrong if I moved on from Ponyville? A fashion emergency leaves the town a huge mess? The only ones affected if I left town would probably be Applejack and Fluttershy... no one else really needs me it seems. I am single, aging, and slowly sinking into a lifestyle of making big loads of bits with celebrity customers... what if I become Rainbow Dash 2.0.. then again... all those stallions begging for my attention, dying to get at me... it would be rather nice for a change... but Applejack she is dear to me. Before Rainbow joined our sister group it was me and Applejack with our little sisters... She must have really grown to like me even after our first fight that almost made it impossible for us to be friends. Twilights sleep over... that was a nice day. We had shared a bed... we were awfully close... Stop it. Stop thinking about her like that Rarity... She is a mare and she is straight. Plus you are headed for the flashing lights and cameras. I can't be tied down to some farm pony even if I care about her... Oh my Celestia.. "I am becoming Rainbow Dash." When those words came out her mouth her private thoughts spilled into public she was scared. She bolted from the farm and went back into her boutique.
____________________________________________________________
Lightning Dust was enjoying the view. She was looking at a crying Fluttershy as she kept pounding her with information and news of disgust. " So did you even bother to ask her why she came back? Do you really think it was for you? Let's be real she doesn't love you. She probably says she does because she misses your... hooves on her body but love? No one that disgusting and vile can ever love you. Why would anyone want you anyways. You are slow, shy, weak and useless. I wouldn't even love you... I wouldn't even rut you even if you were a stallion. You are so pointless. A pony who nurtures animals. What is the point of that? Why would Rainbow Dash slow down when she is built for speed? You suddenly going to catch up and be fast? No you won't but I can be fast... hell maybe I should be with Rainbow Dash.. I would rut her good and be able to catch up with her... You wouldn't like it if I did rut her would you?" She asked with venom dripping from each word. She was sure that the timid mare was at her breaking point. Just needed a bit more. At this point the bunny was kicking her and hitting her. She kicked the bunny hard. Really hard. earning a sickening impact noise and Fluttershy's eyes widening in fear.
"Oops.. Stupid bunny, it isn't dead is it?" She asked in mock concern. She wasn't sure she liked the idea of killing a bunny herself but the stupid rabbit was asking for it. She felt her heart cringe a bit as Fluttershy was rapidly sobbing and telling her bunny to wake up... This isn't how I planned to take revenge... I wanted some tears... I didn't want to kill an innocent creature.. even if it was trying to defend it's owner from me it was still a tiny animal who couldn't hurt me...
Fluttershy was desperately tending to Angel bunny who wasn't conscious or breathing. She tried everything. "Please angel bunny... Angel bunny please... Don't be dead Angel bunny... Angel bunny... "She tried desperately performing CPR and checking everything to find some tangible problem that could be fixed... Why, why did this have to happen? What kind of monster does this? I was being good. I stood still and let her abuse me, why would she hurt my poor bunny. "Angel Bunny... Please don't go Momma loves you... Momma needs you."
Just as Fluttershy realized that Angel bunny was dead looked up with rage in her eyes but was shocked when she saw Lightning Dust take a hoof to the face from Scootaloo. The punch broke her jaw and blood spilled out. Scootaloo was furious and all she knew was one of her mom's were crying and some stranger must have been the cause. Scootaloo's tiny form wasn't that powerful but adrenaline and a surge of anger gave the necessary edge to make an impact that damaged the older mare's face. "You get the buck out my house before I make you." Said Scootaloo who was returning from crusading to get a snack and rest up. She wanted to spend time with her meeker mom because she enjoyed it as much as she did enjoy practicing with dash. Her training while not as intense as Rainbow Dash's it was still enough to give her some strength.
Lightning Dust was in a mix of disgust with herself for killing an innocent creature, rage from being socked in the jaw by a filly, and fear from how this situation could get out of hand and possible charges that could be placed. She wasn't into jail time and decided she would bail for now. She would have to find another way to get at Rainbow Dash.
"Next time I see you kid.... you are dead." She said with as much anger she could muster before storming out the house... she was not going to return for sure, just right now things were getting out of hand and she wasn't getting the results she wanted against Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy was still crying inside the house... Scootaloo looked at Angel Bunny.. her eyes started watering up and she looked away not wanting to see the sight. Angel bunny was dead.... that was a reality they would have to face. All because some mare felt that she was supposed to be a Wonderbolt.
