//------------------------------// // Something's Wrong?! // Story: Guardian Pegasus // by DarkMoonPony_117 //------------------------------// It had been about a week since the while incident with Fluttershy, Rainbow dash had been coming over more often. Rainbow dash reasoned to herself that she was only checking on her, nothing else. During one of these visits Rainbow dash was waiting to spend some time with Fluttershy, while Fluttershy happily fed her animal friends. Rainbow dash on the other hoof, was pacing up and down the front of the house. She had been pacing inside for a while, but when Fluttershy had seem how Rainbow dash had begun to wear a hole in her floor, she had told Rainbow dash to go outside. Rainbow dash had taken the hint and had walked outside grumpily. Rainbow dash sighed, this was taking FOREVER, how long does it take to give a few animals a bit of food? She would be fifty years old by the time Fluttershy had finished! Then the pacing continued… She paced up and down Fluttershy’s yard so many times she had begun to count, it wasn’t that Fluttershy was taking long Rainbow dash its just she was impatient. After what felt like an eternity Fluttershy finally came out of her house. Rainbow dash –in her excitement- flew over to Fluttershy and hugged her tightly, and cuddling slightly into her mane. Fluttershy returned the hug gingerly, scared she was imagining it. Rainbow dash had been like this recently for a very delicate reason, Fluttershy didn’t mind. For reasons Fluttershy was slowly beginning to realise, she had feelings for Rainbow dash, but those thoughts were dangerous. In most of the larger cities fillies liking fillies it was accepted because of how many ponies there are, in ponyville. Then unknown to the cuddling ponies, a third pony was watching the ‘tender’ scene. “Is that Fluttershy and Dashie?” She said to herself. “THEIR KISSING!!!” The pink earth pony then gasped and dashed off, to tell her friends what she had seen. Back to the touching scene between the two ponies. Rainbow dash then realised she had been hugging Fluttershy for a while, she then quickly broke the hug. Fluttershy looked down at her hooves blushing deeply “Well, um what do you want to do, it you don’t mind me asking?” Rainbow dash smiled and said happily “Lets go flying” So the two took off into the sky for an exciting flight. _-_-_-_Meanwhile at Twilight’s_-_-_-_ It was almost midday. Applejack had dropped in at Twilights to ask for some advice about a magical weed, that had been sprouting up around her apple trees, and suffocating them. Applejack looked a combination of worried and scared. As Twilight considered what the other pony had just said she opened her mouth but, she didn’t get a chance to reply because Pinky pie came crashing in, through the door. Once Pinky Pie had caught her breath she started bouncing up and down “You guys are never gonna believe this, I think somefilly likes another somefilly.” Applejack’s breath caught in her throat, she liked Rarity but how did Pinky know? Twilight’s curious voice interrupted Applejack’s voice. “So who are the ponies?” Pinky pie started to reply. “Well Rainbow dash was hu-“ BAAANNNG!!! Rainbow dash came crashing through the side of Twilight’s house, looking like she had flown half way across Equestria. As she caught her breath Fluttershy came semi-gracefully through the hole, Rainbow dash had made. A ticked off looking Twilight stared at the two exhausted ponies. “Why did you crash through my roof?” Fluttershy replied “There’s a bad problem.” “what do ya mean?” Applejack asked. Rainbow dash had finished catching her breath and began to explain their sudden entry. _-_-_-_Flashback_-_-_-_To Rainbow dash and Fluttershy_-_-_-_ It was around noon when Fluttershy was ready to go flying with Rainbow dash. It was one of those days where it was neither to hot nor to cold, just right for flying. Rainbow dash smiled and said happily “Lets go flying” As the two took off Fluttershy asked quietly. “Where are we going?” “Where would you like to go?” Rainbow dash replied. “Well I guess we could drop by, Sweet Apple Acres.” “Sure, let’s go” Rainbow dash began to speed up, enjoying the feeling of wind through her wings. This distraction gave Fluttershy some time to think about her feelings towards Rainbow dash. It was true that Fluttershy loved her as a friend but she had a feeling she liked the cyan pony more than a friend. Her heart started beating faster she always felt nervous around Rainbow dash, even though Fluttershy was nervous she was a strange sort of happy-giddy. Fluttershy’s train of thought was broken when Rainbow dash spoke up in a strangely calm voice. “Were here… I think.” Fluttershy looked at Rainbow dash a little confused, but understood when she looked down. Fluttershy began to shiver not from the cold but from fear, it was like a great evil had taken hold of the place. Rainbow dash spoke again her voice braver than before. “We need to find Applejack” Beautiful sweet apple acres was in turmoil, overgrown weeds were climbing up the barn the trees as well. The grass had rotted away, and the trees leafs were losing more colour by the second. The happy feeling had all but disappeared from the place, replaced by a strange fear and a crippling cold. Fluttershy nodded and replied meekly. “What about Applebloom, Granny Apple and Big Macintosh?” Rainbow dash nodded and the two of them started to fly quickly towards the Apples families house. Once they entered they started to fly around the house, yet the more they searched the less hope they felt. A feeling of dread coursed through them. After going through all the rooms they began to worry about the fate of the missing ponies, . _-_-_-_End flashback_-_-_-_ Rainbow dash had a somber look on her face and Fluttershy was in tears, as the salty tears fell down her face Applejack spoke up. “So did ya find em?” her voice shaking in fear of the inevitable truth. Rainbow dash sighed and looked guilty. “We didn’t find them, the plants started to close up any openings we had .” She looked from one pony to another “We barely made it out alive.” Twilight had, had a very serious expression the entire time, she finally spoke up. “Well, isn’t the answer obvious. We have to rescue them.”
