//------------------------------// // A Confession // Story: Lullaby // by Izzyloves12 //------------------------------// Lullaby By: Izzyloves12 A Confession Twilight Sparkle was organizing her books, when she heard a crash. Outside her door was Rainbow Dash looking worried about something. Twilight immediately knew something was wrong, and decided to let her in. As soon as she opened the door, the Pegasus came barging in. “Twilight, I need to talk to you! I think I’m going crazy or something” Rainbow Dash said. Twilight had never seen her friend like that. She put a hoof around Rainbow’s shoulder to assure her that she had a friend she could talk to. “What is it Rainbow?” Twilight said with a gentle tone. For some reason Rainbow Dash started blushing, and looking at her hooves. She looked at Twilight for a moment and sighed. “I- What do you think about fillyfoolers?” she randomly asked. Twilight looked dumbfounded for a minute. She never really had been with a mare… or stallion. Sure, she had crushes in the past, but they were all stallions. Twilight never thought that it was wrong for mares liking other mares. It was just love. “Well,” she started to explain. “I never really put much thought into it. I mean, yes, I’ve seen many fillyfoolers, but I don’t think it’s wrong or anything. Why, does all of this have to do with it?” She asked. Rainbow Dash seemed relieved to hear her say that. She got her courage and decided to tell her. “Yeah, I mean this has to do a lot to do with that ‘cause I’m a... a fillyfooler.” Rainbow looked at Twilight for any kind of reaction. Instead, she found a smile. So, she decided to continue. “I had a crush on this one pony, but I’m afraid she’ll reject me, and you know I wanted you to give me some advice” Rainbow finished. “Look Rainbow, I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t have much experience in this relationship stuff, but I’m willing to help. First of all, I need to know who this pony is to help you.” Rainbow was sweating. Maybe, Twilight would change her mind to know that this pony she was talking about was one of her closest friends. No, she said to herself Twilight isn’t like that. Taking deep breaths she told her. “It’s Applejack”. At first, there was a moment of awkward silence. Suddenly, Twilight gave a high-pitched squeal. She jumped up in down in the same place, and out of nowhere a pink earth pony followed Twilight. She stopped jumping and went to give Rainbow Dash a hug. Rainbow didn’t question where Pinkie had come from. After all she was just being Pinkie Pie. “Oh My Celestia, Dashie! I knew it, I just knew it! Congratulations, finally you told somepony” Pinkie cheerfully said. “Wait, What? How did you know about it?” Rainbow asked. Truth to be told, she barely found out about these feelings a few days ago. Pinkie Pie burst out laughing, grabbing her sides. Once she calmed down she looked at Rainbow. “Oh, Dashie it was obvious when you looked at it in my view” she said. Rainbow didn’t question it any further. Of course Pinkie would know. “Yeah I guess, but I don’t know what to do” She said. Twilight, who had been watching them with a smile, walked carefully to them. “If you still want my opinion, I think this is something you should think about yourself”. Rainbow narrowed her eyes, she just couldn’t bear the thought of losing her friend for something like this. “It’s just, what if she thinks I’m not awesome enough for her? What if, her barn door doesn’t swing that way? What if, she rejects me? She would feel weird around me.” She was flying higher and higher with every word, until she hit the ceiling and fell down. “Rainbow, listen to me. Applejack isn’t like that, if she doesn’t feel the same way, she would probably tell you lightly. If she does, then it would be good news for you and us. Never forget that Applejack would never, I repeat never, hate you for it. Come on, you’ve known her longer than any of us had. You should know better, that she wouldn’t do that to you.” Rainbow sighed, she was right Applejack wasn’t like that. She was honest, hardworking and respectful. Even if she didn’t feel the same way, she would at least try to comfort her. That's one of the things Rainbow liked about Applejack, she would tell anyone the truth without fear. "Yeah, Dashie. I don't wanna see you saddie waddie. I mean, she can tell you no and she will give you a hug. If she says yes, you can give her a kiss" Pinkie said puckering her lips. Dash looked at Twilight, then Pinkie and finally at Spike that was carefully watching her from afar. They all looked at her with a smile, and hope showed in their faces. She thought of all the times she had done foolish things in front of Applejack. She always laughed, then when Rainbow would look hurt she would apologize. Thinking about these things brought a grin and a blush to her face. Her friends watched as Rainbow blushed and giggle for a few minutes. Until she got back to reality.She cleared her throat and addresed her friends. " What happened here, stays here. Okay?" All her friends Pinkie promised, mostly Pinkie who was doing all the motions dramatically." Okay well you guys were right. Also a great help, Wish me luck guys!" she waved at them and rushed out the door. Pinkie followed her outside and shouted. " Good luck, Rainbow!". Once, both ponies were gone, Spike was still confused. "What was that about?" he asked. Twilight,having just noticed Spike,she gasped. " Spike, you know you're not supposed to listen to other conversations" she said. He was about to say something but left it at that. He went upstairs and Twilight followed. What neither of them noticed though,was that a certain orange earth pony overheard their conversation.
