Everyone looked at the source of the voice. Fluttershy hid under her mane, with tears in her eyes. It seemed that nobody noticed because they didn't question her. She looked around and noticed that they all had a look of disbelief. She couldn't take it, she ran to her room and stayed there. 
"What just happened?" Pinkie asked. They all looked at each other and shrugged. All except Rainbow Dash, who had a look of concern on her face. 
"I'll go talk to her. Maybe she can tell me something" she said. 
When she entered the room, there was a shuddering Fluttershy on the floor. Rainbow went to her and sat next to her. They stared at each other, until Rainbow Dash started talking. 
"Tell me what's wrong" she said gently. Fluttershy had never heard Rainbow talk this way to anyone before. She decided to trust her, since they had known each other for years now. Fluttershy had always treated as a sister.
"Can we go somewhere else private first?" She said. Rainbow thought for moment and decided to take Fluttershy outside. She took flight and Fluttershy followed. They landed on a tree, nobody without wings would find them. There was a moment of awkward silence, until Fluttershy started. 
"I'm going to trust you Dash. Please promise,you won't say a word about anything"she said. Rainbow Dash smiled and stood on her four hooves. She started doing the Pinkie promise motions.
"Cross my heart and hope to-" she stopped as she felt a hoof on her mouth. Fluttershy was looking at her eyes with a pleading look.
"No. That just m-makes me even more nervous" Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash was confused at this. 
"Why?" She asked. Fluttershy gave out a sigh and started to explain.
"Well you see, there is a reason I wanted you to come here. Nopony has to find out about this, especially Pinkie. Ever since I was a filly, I was shy. Then when I came to Ponyville, Pinkie made me realize I needed friends. At that time, you and I weren't close, so technically she was my first friend. I spended days ailing and laughing with her, that is until I came to realize that I was in love with my friend. I started to get more shy around her and hid my feeling ever since. Them when I heard she needed a true love, I felt my heart break into pieces, and I just can't tell her how I feel" Fluttershy said. Dash looke at her with a pitifu expression. She knew that feeling and she felt sorry that her friend had to go through the same stuff she did. Rainbow wasn't much for words, but for Fluttershy she was going to be gentle with her.
"Look Fluttershy, I going to tell you something, but don't tell anypony else" she said. Fluttershy nodded with a confused look. Rainbow Dash continued. 
"You know that me and AJ have a thing going on, but it wasn't always like that. Actually, a few days ago I was in your state. I went to talk to some of our friends and they gave me advice. Now I'm going o give one to you, I'll only give you one advice. Don't wait, 'cause somepony's gonna take your place" Rainbow said. Fluttershy had an eyebrow raised, with an eyebrow raised. 
" No Rainbow, my place is already taken. Rock Candy bet me to it" she said. Inside, shs knew that even if Rock wouldn't have done anything, wouldn't have a chance. Pinkie saw her as a friend, nothing else.
"No. Pinkie hasn't said anything yet, so you still have a shot" Rainbow said. Just then, a scream was heard from the cave. It was a over dramatic scream that anyone would recognize as Rarity's. Both if them flew over, just in time to see the scene before them. 
Rarity was in the floor with wide eyes. She has blood in her hooves and was laying on the floor panting. Rainbow quickly went to her side, while Fluttershy went to find the others, who were battling the Doozies away from them. It was no use, Rarity was far too injured to go on. She smiled and whispered to Dash's ear. 
"I'll be back after this chaos is over. Lay me here and save the rest" she said with a final breath. Tears were stinging Rainbow's eyes, but faded knowing Rarity would be back. Fluttershy looked over her shoulder, to see that Rainbow shook her head. Fluttershy had tears in her eyes and kept on running toward their friends. Twilight spotted them and with her magic, twisted a Doozies head and it died instantly. Rainbow instinctively, went over to help Applejack. This Doozy though, seemed to be stronger than the others. It tackled Applejack, Rainbow jumped on its back trying to get it off of AJ. While, she was at it, the creature was biting AJ. Applejack didn't scream or cry, she just slowly received her fate. Dash noticed what was happening below her and with anger, she bucked the Doozy's face. The creature slapped Rainbow and she fell rolling, until she hit a rock. She reached back to touch the back of her head, only to find her head bleeding. She had a look of horror, when she saw what the Doozy had done to Applejack. This time though, she cried and crawled to AJ's side.
"I-I'm sorry AJ , I couldn't save you" she said weeping. Slowly, her vision became blurry and she couldn't hear or think anymore. She knew what was happening, even for a little while she would see Applejack again. She moved closer to Applejack and smelled her mane, one final time.The last thing she saw,was her friends running towards them, and the lights went out.
