Chapter 3: The Mix Up
Rarity finally got her sense back together to tell Rainbow Dash to stop the rain. The rain stopped, then Rarity turned to her friends.
"Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, you two should go talk to Twilight. Tell her what really happened, Applejack and Pinkie Pie go tell Flash about the mix up," Rarity said, "I... I got to go... just... go." With that, Rarity left with tears in her eyes. Knowing the pain her friend must be feeling.
After a moment of awkward silence, the girls split up and chased the broken hearts.
Applejack and Pinkie Pie caught up to Flash first.They found him under a tree pounding his head against it, saying "stupid" every time he hit his head. By the time he stopped, he was out of breath with a red mark on his head.
"Flash," Applejack said, making Flash jump and hitting his head on a branch, increasing the size of the small lump on his head.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you," Applejack apologized.
"No problem," Flash replied while rubbing his head, "now if you will excuse me, I need to keep hitting my head." He got up, but Applejack stood in front of him.
"Flash listen. There was a bit of a mix up, and I'm pretty sure it ain't your fault," Applejack said.
"You're wrong; I should have known that was not Twilight but Rarity," Flash said, "It's just... I always loved Twilight, that's the whole reason why I joined the Royal Guards; and I was excited to finally officially meet her. I just got so excited that I was going to kiss her that, I might have got a little to... I am just so stupid!"
He was about to hit his head on a nearby rock when Pinkie Pie tackled him. Applejack was surprised to see that Pinkie pinned Flash down and was looking at him seriously, for once Pinkie was serious... and mad.
"You listen here Flash," she yelled, "Twilight is a smart, beautiful , and especially an understanding mare. You are a handsome, nice, young stallion. Now pull yourself together and tell Twilight what happened and how you really feel."
She got off of Flash; then he got up rubbing the grass off of him. "Alright," he said, " let's go see Twilight."
===========================================================================
Meanwhile, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were having trouble to catch Twilight.
"Twilight, just stop; all we want to do is talk," Rainbow Dash yelled.
"Well I don't want to talk, I don't want to talk to any..." Twilight slammed into a tree.
"Twilight!"
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash landed around the tree and looked up at it, trying to find her. All of a sudden, Twilight fell out of the tree.
"Twilight!"
"I'm ok; but please... just leave me alone," Twilight sobbed.
She tried to fly off, but Rainbow Dash held her down. "Twilight you need to calm down... please," Fluttershy said. Twilight stopped struggling and started breathing heavily from tiredness and crying. "Good, now that your calm..."
"How could she do this to me," Twilight yelled, startling Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, " I thought we were friends, and then she comes in and kiss the colt I love. She just so...so...ugh!" She turned around quickly and kicked the tree hard, a nut fell and hit her. She hovered her hove over it, threatening to crush it. In the moment of hesitation, Twilight's face turned from anger to sadness. She dropped to the ground and started sobbing loudly. She felt horrible for all the things she just said about her dearest friend. After she calmed down a little, Fluttershy tried to talk to Twilight again.
"Twilight, Rarity is one of your best friends. She would never do that to you on purpose. In fact, it was her idea to get you to meet Flash at the party."
Rainbow Dash was about to say that it really was Fluttershy with the idea, but Fluttershy gave Dash a look, hinting her to be quiet.
"Then why did she kiss him. Right in front of me," Twilight said, starting to get angry again.
"She didn't mean to," Fluttershy said soothingly, trying to keep Twilight from having another outburst, "When you started to carry her over to Flash, she was petrified with fear, didn't know what to do, and by the time she thought of something, or even speak, it was too late."
"Ok," Twilight said, calming down completely, "Let's go see Flash."
