//------------------------------// // 2 - Telling the Others // Story: The Dark Side of the Rainbow // by Blue Tiger //------------------------------// "Okay, Twilight. All better," Nurse Redheart said as she finished wrapping the bandage around Twilight's wound. "I just don't believe Equestria's favorite daredevil would try to kill her best friend." "I know," Twilight said. "She's been like this ever since- wait a minute..." "What?" the nurse said. "It was because of the spell that she's like this!" Twilight said. "I was trying to do a Disarming Spell, but I did it wrong and that's why she's like this! I must find a counter spell!" ********** "Ya mean to tell me, R.D has turned evil?" Apple Jack said after Twilight told her the story. "Yeah, and-" Twilight started to tell her more, but got interrupted by her. "Ha! I don't believe ya," A.J. said. "I have proof right here that she tried to kill me!" Twilight showed A.J. her bandaged foreleg. "And that's from Rainbow Dash?" A.J. said. "Equestria's favorite daredevil and our best friend?" "Yes!" Twilight said. "She stabbed me with a butter knife!" "Look, if this is a prank, it ain't funny." A.J. was getting mad. "This isn't a prank!" Twilight left Sweet Apple Acres. Maybe the others will believe her. ********** "That's ridiculous!" Rarity said. "Why would our best friend try to kill you?" "I know!" Twilight said. "But look. I have proof she tried to kill me." She showed Rarity her foreleg. "Ew! Get that away from me! It's all bloody!" Rarity said as she backed away. "Of course it's all bloody," Twilight said. "I've been stabbed with a knife. By Rainbow Dash." "Just get out of here!" Rarity walked over to the door and opened it for Twilight, who walked slowly to the door. "She really tried to kill me," She said as she walked out. "That's a fact! Rainbow Dash ha-" She stopped in mid-sentence when Rarity closed her door. ********** Twilight was walking back to her house when she ran into Fluttershy. "Oh, hey, Twilight," she said with her usual quiet voice. "Have you seen Rainbow Dash lately? I went to her house earlier, but Scootaloo said she wasn't home. And, what happened to your hoof?" she added when she noticed the bandages on Twilight's foreleg. "Rainbow Dash tried to kill me!" Twilight said. "What?!" Fluttershy said, jumping a little. "Yeah," Twilight said. "She turned evil! It was because of me. She let me test out this spell, but I must've done it wrong because she's evil now." "Oh, that's terrible!" Fluttershy said. "Wait," Twilight said. "You believe me?" "Yes." "Finally somepony who believes me!" "Have you told the others?" "Apple Jack and Rarity didn't believe me," Twilight said. "All that's left is Pinkie Pie." "I'll go with you," Fluttershy said. "It's best to have somepony who believes you by your side." They went over to Pinkie's house. ********** Twilight knocked on Pinkie's door. A moment later, it opened, revealing the pink Earth Pony. "Hi, girls!" Pinkie said. "Hi," Fluttershy said. "Pinkie," Twilight said. "Have you seen Rainbow Dash lately?" "No, I haven't," Pinkie said. "Why?" "Okay, good," Twilight said quietly, then added, "She's turned evil." Pinkie looked as if she doesn't believe Twilight. She then said, "Are you kidding?" "I wish I was." Twilight showed Pinkie her bandaged foreleg. "And that was from Rainbow?" Pinkie had the look of fear in her eyes now. "Yeah. She tried to kill me by stabbing me with a butter knife." "But if she knew you weren't dead, wouldn't she have tried to finish you off?" "Judging by how much blood I lost, I thought I really was gonna die." Fluttershy suddenly started talking again. "Um, excuse me? But shouldn't we go see Princess Celestia? She might know what to do." "That's actually not a bad idea!" Twilight said. "Let's get the others," Pinkie said. "They don't believe me but we can try to convince them to come," Twilight said.
