//------------------------------// // 6 Mistakes. // Story: Secrets don't make friends. // by GoldyBoi //------------------------------// They walked to the hospital. Fluttershy woke up expecting to see Rainbow by her side. Instead she saw a stressed out Rainbow Dash pacing back and forth with a phone to her ear. That's how they ended up walking to the hospital. She never questioned Rainbow, she never did when she was this stressed. "Rainbow...." Fluttershy reached over and held her tense hand. As soon as she did she felt a tight squeeze given to her from Rainbow. It hurt to be honest but she could handle it if it's for Rainbow. She leaned over and brushed her side against hers. Rainbow eventually loosened her grip, giving a sign of recognizing her affection. Last night had confirmed their current relationship as complicated. They both had re-ignited the suppressed romance they had for one another but didn't know who it could just start up again just like that. Though they still proceed in public display of affection. Even now when walking towards the hospital, earning themselves some looks of all different kinds. "Look... this is pretty personal so if you don't want to come you don't have to. Fluttershy... just go home." Rainbow Dash stopped walking and had the audacity to look Fluttershy in the eyes and state such a thing and still hold her hand. Fluttershy had to maintain her composure even if it hurt. She knew something must be getting to Rainbow, that's why she had to stay and show support. "No..." She continued to hold her hand and stared her in the eyes. Rainbow just sighed and continued walking towards the hospital slightly giving Fluttershy the cold shoulder. Leaving the pained Fluttershy in her wake. ________-----________ "So that's the story about how our school was destroyed and wont be open for a few weeks, also the story on why we all need to stay here!" Twilight explained to her father almost pleading. She did make a few edits as to what really happened and who hosted the party. They managed to find each other after that whole mess and head over to Twilight's home. Twilight's dad simply shrugged and walked off to the kitchen as the girls ran up to Twilight's room and locked the door. "Now girls... I know I said somethings but I do have a reason behind it. Though I have to say I'm sorry! Friends?" Twilight wasn't sure if they'd forgive her. She wasn't sure if telling what she'd learned about Fluttershy was a good idea either. She could possibly be accusing poor Fluttershy even if she did have research behind it. She could also form a rift between all of her friends but she had to inform them. "Now ah know ya did say somethings outta line but if ya got a reason for it and yer sorry well.... ah forgive ya." AppleJack sat there speaking for the others in that statement. They all thought the same thing and looked at Twilight expectantly. If something stressed Twilight out like that then it must be something worth listening to. "Well... why don't we all start by telling our own versions on how we met Fluttershy..." ________-----________ Laying on a hospital bed having an occasional coughing fit sucked. "Hey doctor! Lemme out, I'm alright it's like any other time right?" Instead of the doctor Nurse Redheart walked in with a clipboard and a stern face... but with sympathetic eyes. "Ms. Dash... this isn't... this isn't like any other time. You're lucky..... your still alive. Your daughter's coming by to check on you." Nurse Redheart turned to leave the door at that but stopped. "Also have you no shame? Don't you have a daughter to take care of? You've moved a total of two times to try and avoid this but you still do it. You think getting in the wrong crowd each night and ending up in the hospital occasionally for over dosing is a good way to raise your child... aren't you ashamed of your daughter having to see you like this?" She turned and faced her. "Sierra she's sick... and tired of this. I'm sick and tired of it. Since highschool you've changed, and as of now I'm ashamed to have called you my friend." Redheart finally left the room leaving Sierra Dash in a mix of emotions. "She's right... but I can't stop it no matter how hard I try. That's why I came back... to find the only person who could help me... if she'll forgive me." She broke into another coughing fit before she looked to the door again and saw a not-so-happy daughter of hers along with a girl hiding behind her. "So who's the lucky girl Rainbow?" She knew she had to lighten the mood somehow or else it would all go downhill from there. Rainbow grew impatient with her each visit. She was sure this was the last straw. Rainbow took a step to the side showing her mother who the girl was not giving a heads up to Fluttershy who now looked for someplace to hide. Giving up she stood still and looked at the ground waving at Rainbow's mother. "Hello.... m-my names, Fluttershy." She said almost in a whisper. Rainbow Dash who's standing right next to her couldn't even hear a word. "Fluttershy huh?" Both girls were shocked by the fact that she was able to hear a word. "I only know one person with that level of decibels and your definentaly not her. Tell me... does your mother go by the name of Willow?" ________-----________ "So by all of our information and Pinkie's story. Thankfully you were there to help her Pinkie!" Twilight looked over at Pinkie sitting in a pile of candy they bribed her to spill information with. She didn't even Pinkie Promise for that information but still needed an extra push to spill the beans. "Now we know that she's been telling us seperate stories about her past. Now Pinkie hears something about this Rainbow Dash character who's supposed to play a large part in her life. Too bad Pinkie left before she heard anything else... I'm also worried about this... product." "Oh my... I never though Fluttershy could do such devious things! So evil... so... sadistic." Spike sat on Rarity's lap as she finished that sentence and she didn't look to pleased. "How dare you! Get up this instant and beg at my feet for forgiveness! This outfit took far too long to complete." "Sadistic huh? Ya don't say." AppleJack commented. As they argued over being a sadist or a masochist, Pinkie looked over at Twilight who looked as if she wanted to jump out a window and just smiled at her. By the looks of it that smile helped her mood. That's when she had the idea. ________-----________ So that's when I finally got Willow to start pranking with me. It was also the first time we've ever gotten Redheart's blood to boil!" Ms. Dash had no problem at all with telling the two teenagers how their parents hung out as well. "That was the last time we pranked someone together though." She said on a slightly regretful tone. Fluttershy hadn't noticed Rainbow's face when she had said that and went over the line. "Why'd you stop? You seemed like the best of friends!" The room became silent with an uncomfortable tension that Fluttershy was unable to read. "Yeah mom.... why don't you tell her. Why don't you tell her why you're also in the hospital... why don't you also tell her why we truthfully moved?!" Rainbow Dash rose from her seat. Her anger coming out in waves. "W-What?" Fluttershy also got up from her seat and backed away from the two. She felt guilty since her question had started it. She was also afraid. It was like watching two bombs clash. It just doesn't work out for bystanders. "Fine... you want to know? I'll tell you. The reason why we stopped pranking together and stopped hanging in general was because I got caught up in drugs. Ever since I met that girl... you could've named any drug in the book and I probably did it. That's why I'm occasionally in this hospital. We moved so I could get away from it all... but it got worse so we moved back. There's your story... happy?" Ms. Dash looked at both girls. "To be honest right now... If I could muster up the courage. I'd try to tell Willow how sorry I am... because I really am sorry.i apologize to you as well Rainbow... it was my decisions that messed up your life. Wow... I can't believe I'm actually saying sorry. Willow would kill for a moment like that." "Yes... I would." Willow walked into the room looking at Rainbow. "Thank you for watching over my daughter last night but you could've called. I was worried sick when I heard about that party. Ms. Redheart called. You've grow-." "W-Willow? Is that you?" Sierra asked right before she broke into another coughing fit. "Girls... go wait in the car outside please. It's in the hospital parking lot. Fluttershy you know what it looks like." Willow wasn't really suggestion right now. It was more of an order this time. Fluttershy didn't want to disobey and Rainbow Dash couldn't stand seeing her mother like this. Both girls exited the room. "Promising pair aren't they? We can already tell they're dating." Willow came to Sierra's aid helping her as she finished coughing. "They'll stay at my place until your better Sierra. Don't worry I'll raise her as my own... until your completely better." She emphasized on the last word giving her a look. "I-I'll try.... Thank you.... thank you." Sierra managed to say. "By the way.... I forgive you." Willow said as she walked out the room, both of them bearing smiles.
