Chapter 2-Getting Help
It wasn't very hard to sneak out. All the teachers were in the teachers lounge and there were no security guards in the halls at the moment. We flew all the way to my house, and I had never seen Fluttershy fly so much, or so fast. She wasn't a very good flyer to begin with, but I could tell that she was flying with a mission, to get away from everyone else. I could see some tears streak behind her as she flew. We finally arrived to my humble abode. Fluttershy almost crash landed from how fast she was going.
"Whoa...you okay Fluttershy?" I asked.
She shook her head to get some clouds out of her hair. "Yeah, I'm okay. I...I didn't realize how fast I was going." She admitted. She sighed from the reason.
"I know. You wanted to get away from everyone, I could see it. But now that were here, maybe we could talk." I led her to my room. She said that she was feeling a bit exhausted, and that she needed to lie down. She lay on my cloud bed, sighing from the soft plush feeling. I sat on the bed with her.
"So...do you want to tell me anything? I...I just really want to help you Fluttershy...I--"
She sighed. "I just...want to know why everyone...hates me..." Tears formed in her eyes. 'Oh no...she's going to cry again. I hate seeing her cry...'
"Fluttershy...I can't answer that, because I don't really know why. I'm sorry...I can't help you with that one..." Strike one Rainbow...
"sniff, It's okay Rainbow...it's fine...it's...fine..." She was close to bursting. I needed to think of something fast.
"Well, look on the bright side Flutters...at least, I care about you." She looked up at this.
"R-Really? You...you care about me?"
I couldn't help but stare into those deep blue eyes. They were so...mesmerizing. "Yes Fluttershy...I care about you. I know what your going through...and, I just want to help you through it...that's all..." I gave her a soft smile. It's almost like those eyes were saying thank you.
I left my gaze when I felt something wrap around my body. It was Fluttershy, and she was giving me a big hug.
"Thank you Rainbow...I...I really appreciate it...you have, no idea..." She sniffed, trying to hold in her tears. I stared at her for a moment. just realized how soft her fur was...
"Of course Fluttershy...hey, I have an idea." She loosened her embrace and listened. "Why don't you come over here every night? My parents are usually out doing weather business, so half the time I'm alone here." I looked at her with some hope. "Does, that sound alright? I mean I understand if you don't--"
"Yes. That sounds fine." She smiled at me. I nodded.
"Awesome. I uh...really hadn't planed anything out, so I figured we could just, hang out and do stuff." I said.
"That sounds wonderful." She said with that usual soft voice. I smiled. She blinked a couple of times and yawned. She relaxed herself on the bed. I could tell she was tired. I smiled again.
"You can sleep here Fluttershy. I can see that your tired."
"Oh...I mean...I don't...want to be any...trouble..." She sighed and closed her eyes.
"I don't mind. Really. Honestly, you can sleep here any time you want! It's fine with me." Fluttershy gave me a small smile.
"Thank you...mhh" She shifted and sighed. "Rainbow...Dash..." She fell asleep. I sighed, feeling accomplished in cheering her up. I also made myself a promise right then and there.
'If she ever needs help, I'll be there...' I looked at my clock. It was only 1:30 in the afternoon. I thought about the things my parents would say when they found out I was skipping school. I would need to explain Fluttershy's cause well enough for them to believe me. I decided to watch some T.V. in the meantime. While I was watching, I could have sworn I heard Fluttershy say something in her sleep from the other room.
"Rainbow Dash..."
I didn't think anything of it. There is no way that could have been Fluttershy. It was way too loud, even for her! I continued my channel search.
