Even though she knew it was only a matter of time before Rainbow Dash showed up, the hammering knocks still came as a complete surprise. Even with the cyan mare sitting right next to her Fluttershy still couldn't believe the other mare was really there. The only sounds to be heard throughout the small cottage was the soft chitters of woodland creatures going about their day, and two ponies breathing. She had only seen that particular expression a few times. When her mother didn't attend the Best Young Flyer competition, fighting the forces of evil to protect her country, and now.
"So you and Twilight, huh? Did you ever plan on telling me or was I supposed to go forever without knowing?"
She had to be brave. "Rainbow it's not like that, I just-"
"You just what Shy?! Wanted me to look and feel like an idiot? Since you've forgotten let me remind you, I'm your oldest friend. Not only that, but every night for the last six months you've been in that bed up there and on this couch even! Telling me that you love me and I'm the only one for you. That you were scared to tell our friends. Now you're with Twi. So tell me you 'just what'.
"I love her, okay Rainbow?" Tears that had been threatening to spill during the other mares tirade finally overflowed, making the slow trek down yellow cheeks. "I've been in love with her since she moved here. I love you too, I just didn't know how to tell either of you. I just...I'm so sorry..."
Rainbow Dash took a shuddering breath and held Fluttershy's gaze a few moments longer than what could be considered comfortable. "Y'know what? Don't worry about it or me, I'm done with this and you. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind."
She trotted out of the door without looking back, leaving a sobbing heartbroken Fluttershy in her wake.
