//------------------------------// // 9 Secrets? // Story: Secrets don't make friends. // by GoldyBoi //------------------------------// "Go away." Was all she said. She never came out for food, water, or other necessities unless it was night time when everyone was asleep or if Fluttershy brought it. The most concerned was Twilight Sparkle. She had called her dad and told him they all went to Fluttershy's to hang out there. She couldn't come back with the still showing bruises. The incident happened several days ago and it circulated back to this mysterious Rainbow Dash figure who wont come out and secretive Fluttershy. Everytime she would bring something up Fluttershy would get extremely defensive. Her mother was also locking herself away from the world. Even though she's been acting strange lately, Fluttershy's the only one left to hold fort. Other than that, the bruises and the rift between the group of friends has been healing. "Hey Fluttershy ah need ta know. Can ya get yer to come out. Pinkie wont stop singing the smile song in her sleep." AppleJack asked at breakfast. "Yes dear, I would love to meet her. She had the most dazzling hair!" Rarity squealed and did hand motions as if touching Rainbow's hair. "Why don't you introduce us and tell us how you met her?" Twilight pressed onto the slightly cowering Fluttershy whom seems to be shocked by these sudden advances. "Why wont she smile?" Pinkie asked. That hit Fluttershy's anger point. It was either friends or love right now and she chose love. "You wanna know why she wont smile? Why she wont come out the room? Why I've never introduced her to you? It's because she's gone through enough in her life and her mother. Her only parent, is dead! So no I wont introduce you. No you will not touch her hair, and no she will not be smiling anytime soon!" She got up and walked off into Rainbow's room. "This thing's great. Especially for crimes. Get em high, do whatever the hell you're doing steal, interrogation, and a couple other things and in an hours time their heart stops. You can even use it as a one last hurray drug." Gilda sat at a table showing off a suitcase of it to other, 'business associates'. "Hmph! Seems interesting kid. I'll take twenty cases. Although... aren't you a little too young for this business?" A tall man in a black and red suit asked. "Nah, I used to do this at an even younger age. I used to have a partner too." Gilda said with a distant look. "Hm? Well it's none of my business anyways. Nice makin' business with ya kid. We'll see each other around again." He smirked as he turned for the door. "Yeah... sure." "We shouldn't be doing this. We've stepped over the line. I will not participate any longer." Rarity said as she walked away following the other two now leaving Twilight alone with a glass cup to the door and on her ear listening. Twilight knew what she was doing as a human being was sick but she'd come so far with research from almost no clues at all. She was so close, just idly sitting by would make her go crazy. She had to finish the puzzle and get it all done. She yet again knew it was sick but she had no problem about it. Fluttershy's hiding things and she was gonna find out what. "I miss her so much... even though we had a rocky past. Even though you got caught up in my stupid decisions back then. She still loved me no matter what." Twilight could tell this was Rainbow Dash. She's only seen her once and the prismatic blur is what she likes to call her. She seemed to have some background with Fluttershy and those guys. Now that she's saying this, it becomes a game changer. It no longer had anything to do with them anymore. This whole secretive life goes way back. She was determined to find out. "Did you... did you get anything from the autopsy?" Redheart asked the man whom performed it. "I'm sorry but we can't disclose any information." He replied walking around her to the doors. "Please! She was my friend..." Redheart gave one last try. The man turned around and stared at her. Contemplating on why she would like to know so much and if he should tell. "Please? What would Jesus do?" Redheart begged. "Okay, fine. Meet me at Vbo Monday's tonight." He said shaking his head and walking out the door. "Thank you." Was all she said. "AppleJack.... I've been meaning to tell you this for a while so... here I go dear. I love you so much and I want the savory taste of your Apple pie flavored lips. Take me my sweet love!" Rarity fell into AppleJacks arms. "Ah feel tha same way uuhh. Look ah can't do it!" AppleJack helped Rarity stand up and let go of her. Looking around the corner and sighing. "What am I not good enough for you?" Rarity was getting defensive and AppleJack had to do something about it. After a while of being around Rarity you learn never to insult her. "No ah mean the acting. Twilight's not even lookin' sugarcube." AppleJack gestured for her to look around the corner. Rarity and Pinkie Pie looked around the corner to see Twilight still wrapped up in whatever she was doing. Pinkie let out a rough sigh and stomped over to Twilight. "Cmon' creepy pants! Time to wake up from your trance!" Pinkie smiled and waited... she waited.... and waited. No response at all. "That's it! Twilight you gotta move yourself!" She said as she started to tug on Twilight. "Ssshh they'll hear you." Twilight didn't move an inch. Pinkie just had the most blank facial expression on and stood there, letting Twilight go. "Okay then." She said as she pulled down Twilight's skirt and walked off. Twilight not even noticing. Once she was at a good distance she started taking photos. "Be a dear and tell me... what are yo- oooooohh." Rarity snickered. "I'd like a copy." "You ignore me.... and you will suffer mortal fool." Twilight had just picked the wrong Pinkie to mess with. Out of all her split personalities she choose the wrong one to tango with. "Oh it's on sister. This means war." War she declared and war it shall be.
