Rainbow dash lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. The box of heart-shaped cookies was on the floor next to The bed. Her cheeks were wet with tears again as she rememberd what happpened.

After she realized she was crying, she walked out the door with her tail inbetween her legs. She flew home, tears still dripping from her cheeks and here she was now.

Back in the treehouse, Twilight lay in her bed, still dazed from the magical kiss she shared with Rainbow. She had no idea that the pegasus liked her. 

At the moment, she was kicking herself for not saing it a little nicer. It was the first time she had ever seen Rainbow Dash cry.

I should have known.

The way she was nervous, the heart-shaped cookies, the hesitation of speaking.

Twilight just tried not to think about it and go to sleep.

Dash, on the other hand was sleeping soundly, her cheeks still a little damp. She had no dreams.

In the morning, She looked at her calendar.

April 22 – helping pinke pie and twilight make cupcakes for AJ.

Shoot. She would have to face Her crush again. For a while, she though about skipping it, but then decided she wouldnt break pinkie's heart like that. Even baking cupcakes meant a lot to pinkie, and Rainbow would not miss Applejack's birthday. AJ was like her sister.

So she grabbed her pink and white scarf and flew out to sugarcube corner. When she got there, pinkie and Twilight were there.

For a second, Rainbow and Twilight sprakle met eyes. Their gaze held. But then the pegasus had to look away and blush. Looking down she greeted pinkie pie and walked in the door.

Twilight lookes suprised, like she saw something wierd. She was looking at Rainbow's neck.

With a pang, The pegasus realized that this was the scarf that she got as a present... from... twilight.

Oh no, what is she gonna think now?

Twilight decided to just be happy that her 'friend' was using her gift. She grinned.

Rainbow was flummoxed. 

“What is first on the list, pinkie?” Twilight asked.

Even the sound of her voice was painfull to The pegasus. As she went and got the three cups of flour, she dipped her head so that her nose was alost touching the ground.

The whole time rainbow was in pain. It stabbed her chest, gently ripping her heart into half.

The whole time Twilight just looked at her friend.
