Chapter 2: the truth

Spitfire’s POV
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Rainbow Dash get-"

Poof

“NEVER MIND.”

In front of me was a note in yellow magical aura. The front read Princess Celestia
I opened it up.


Dear Wonder-bolts,
I’m sure you have herd of the upcoming funeral on Saturday. The reason I tell you this is that the royal guard that has departed was very close with one of you best flyers. He was co-captain, hair of red, orange, and yellow, wings of sky blue. He was rainbow dash’s father. I, and the princesses of equestria, have decided to give rainbow a 2 month leave. Do not tell her that I know this but now that her father has passed way, she is n orphan. Her mother, a fit young woman, wings of dark blue, hair of green, blue, and purple. Left rainbow and her dad, when she was 8. I believe this is one of the reasons rainbow dash has such a tough exterior. Another reason is that she was bullied since a very young age; told she was a liar, a fake, due to the rumor of doing sonic rainboom that early in life. The sad thing is that the kids that said such things were watching her when it happened. I’m sure by the time you get this letter Dash has already blown up or had n argument. I know Rainbow Dash very well, ever since she helped my pupil, now princess, Twilight. She acts like nothing’s wrong, and that she’s not hurt by the events, but I know 3 girls she always lets see her emotions. And I know she’s thinking about being able to do that with one of you. I can’t exactly say who, but keep an eye out. I hope you guys consider to come and support her through this hard time, even if she says not to.
Your Princess,
Celestia


“Who, I had no idea. Why didn’t she tell us this?” I was shock, how could someone keep such sad history secret for so long.

“Didn’t you her what Celestia said? Right now there are only 3 people she lets her guard down round. But, I wonder which person she’s thinking about that’s here?”

Clearly it was obvious who she was thinking bout, to everyone except the one she’s thinking bout. “Idiot” I mumbled. It was incredible he was wonder-bolt before Dash.

“I heard that.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, just go to your dorm. I have some business to attend too.”

Rainbow’s POV

I flew full speed to Ponyville. I felt something wet in the corner of my eye, whipping it off betting it was a tear. I wasn’t going to let anyone see me crying, no one but the one I was going to. I was going to Fluttershy’s place. She still lives in ponyville at the edge of the Everfree forest. It was kind ironic, she’s scared of her own shadow and lives on the edge of the most dangerous place in equestria. I didn’t notice where I was going and crashed into a tree near Fluttershy’s cottage.

“Oh, My. Rainbow dash are you ok?”

“Yeah, I’m fine flutters. Just a bit… preoccupied.”

“Oh, that’s good. Why are you in Ponyville, shouldn’t you be practicing… I mean, if that’s what you do.”

“I need to talk to you. Can we go inside.”

“Yes, come on in.”

Once we were inside, and the door was closed, I ran straight to flutters and started to cry in her shoulder. Fluttershy we one of the few people I ever let my guard down around. We’ve been friends since flight camp. She knows what’s happened in my pass, and right now was the only one I trusted enough, well next to twilight and scootaloo, to talk to about it. All I wanted to do right now was curl up into ball and die. I had no mom, no dad, I was all alone.

I collapsed on to the floor, tears running down my face, turning into stream of sorrow that reflected what was in my heart, but not all.

Soarin’s POV

I know Spitfire told me to go to my dorm but I couldn’t help my self. I decided to follow Dash. as I saw her trough the window my heart started to hurt. I’ve never seen her break down like that. From what I can remember Celestia said there were very few people she ever let her guard down round. I was guessing that Fluttershy was one of them.

before long i saw rainbow dash flying out of the small cottage. i hid in a near by tree hoping she won't see me. i followed her to a cloud. it was getting late but i didn't leave. i couldn't leave dash alone after all that happened. she cried her self to sleep it was depressing, seeing her in such a bad state.
Rainbow's POV
after visiting fluttershy i didn't want to go home. there were to many memories that laid. i cried my-self to sleep that night. i could have swear i felt someone watching me' but i was to tired to investigate.


"hey. rainbow! wake up."

"no."

"rainbow! it's time to wake up."

"no dad leave me alone."

i heard someone curse under their breath. i thought this was weird because my dad doesn't usally curse. i felt warmth coming near my mark, which is right under of my left boob. i was awake but waited for the victim to make their move. i just hope they know who they're dealing with. then i felt contact. i swung around and had who ever woke me in a head-lock. "who are you?! and who bucking reaches for a sleeping girls boobs!" i shouted probably shattering their eardrums. i felt them tense up.

" It's me! Soarin'. sorry if i woke you up in an... uncomfortable fashion."

"You better be sorry! what kind of person does that?!?! Oh, i know, idiots that want to get killed!" i let him go so he could breath. i could hear him gasping for air. he should now better than to sneak up on me.

"Hey Rainbow? can i ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"

Why didn't you tell any of us that with your dad gone, your an orphan?"

My eyes widened. i wanted to scream at him. how in the world could he possibly know that. the only people that knew were Fluttershy, and Twilight.
