Chapter 9-Worried
For the whole day, I turned and shifted in my bed, not being able to sleep. Usually, I would've slept the whole day way, but I couldn't. I was so worried about Fluttershy, and I had so many thoughts in my head of what may happen without her protector around. I groaned. holding my head in my hooves.
She's all alone today, I'm not there...something is going to happen to her, I just know it, and I won't be there to help her...dammit, why did I have to get in a fight now?
But there was the other side of my thoughts...
Maybe she won't. Maybe, she'll finally face her fears and stand up to those guys! Then, she'll come home all happy from her accomplishments. I can't wait to see the day when she does...
I was still very unsure about that one. It was a small sliver of hope, that was about it. I sighed.
"Oh Fluttershy...when will you face them? When? You can't live like this forever..."
I slowly found my eyes drooping. Yes! I thought. Finally some sleep! I chuckled to myself, thinking about the day that she could stand up to them...that would be the best day ever. I feel asleep shortly after that thought.

When I awoke again, I could see that about 3 hours had gone by. Awesome. I needed that. I slowly and carefully stretched my limbs, trying not to cause any pain. I did feel a lot better. I probably just needed the sleep, including the fact that I didn't get much sleep last night...damn fantasy...hm...I guess it wasn't...that bad...
I slapped myself. What are you thinking Rainbow Dash? Of course it was bad! I should've never had that dream...
I heard the sound of blowing wind at the entrance. I knew who it was.
"Fluttershy? Is that you?" I asked.
She didn't answer. I tried to get a better look from the doorway.
"Fluttershy?" I tried again.
I saw her a moment later. I was relieved to see that there weren't any marks on her body. She stood in the doorway.
"There you are Flutters. How did your day go? Did anything happen? Did they hurt you, because if they did, I'll give them a piece of my mind!" I ground my hooves together.
She didn't answer. She didn't even look at me. From my POV, I could see tears streaking down her face, staining her cheeks. She sniffed. All my happiness just went away. Why was she crying?
"Fluttershy? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" I asked, concerned.
She still didn't answer. She just wiped her face and said,
"I...I just...need to be alone, for a while..." She headed for her room.
I looked on at her. What happened? Why was she acting like this?
"Fluttershy, wait! What happened? Please tell me!"
She sniffed, some tears hitting the cloud ground. "I...I'm sorry Rainbow...just please...let me be..." She entered her room, and shut the door behind her without another word.
I stared at the door for countless moments, thoughts running through my head.
What did they do to her? What? Why was she being so secretive? Why did she tell me...sorry?
Despite my urge to walk in and talk to her, I had to respect her privacy.
Play it cool Rainbow...you'll get to talk to her later.
I had been worried like hell before this, now, I was even more worried! She usually would speak to me about anything that happened in the days at school. This time, she was silent. Why? I lay my head back down on my could pillow, closing my eyes, but not being able to sleep.
