Saturday
You fly to the observatory in the afternoon. Heading to the now-empty desk at the end of the small office, you begin to write.
Rainbow Dash,
I already miss you. Things are not the same at the academy. A lot of ponies have been asking about you. We're all worried and we wish we knew you were okay. I don't think anypony would ever tease you if you came back.
Fluttershy has been helping me with my studies. She was thinking about you. She wanted to thank you for what you did for her. You're a hero at Wingbury. We want our hero to come back home.
----------
Sunday
You return to the observatory office. The letter you wrote is gone, but there is no response. You write once more.
Rainbow Dash,
Today we had weekend wingball practice. It wasn't so bad—I promise I'm working hard on team formations. Actually, it's a little difficult because it's just me and Fairweather on the team. Coach refuses to give us a replacement for you. I think he's hoping you will come back. I hope you come back too.
Can you tell me if you are okay? I don't even know if you have a place to sleep. At least tell me if you are safe.
----------
Monday
You head to the office after classes to find the desk bare.
Rainbow Dash,
I thought I heard you in class today, but when I turned around, you weren't there. Even though you left, I expected to see you sitting behind me. My mind has been playing tricks on me.
Lately, I've been having trouble sleeping. I've been doing a lot of night flying. It's not the same without you, though. To be honest, I spend the whole time looking for you. One night I hope I find you.
----------
Tuesday
The observatory office desk is empty.
Rainbow Dash,
We finally burned those crystals in Chem II today. It was as cool as you thought it would be. I saved one of them and snuck it out of class. When you come back, we can burn it together. I think you'll like it.
I really miss you, Rainbow Dash. Even if you're not coming back, can I see you again? I'm afraid of the day that my letters stop disappearing.
----------
Wednesday
You return to the office. No letter.
Rainbow Dash,
Tomorrow's our first wingball match. We're going against Chesterfeather. It's a home game. Maybe you can come watch from up high? I promise we'll make you proud. We still don't have a third member. Fairweather and I decided to try and do a two-pony team. We just can't think of anypony that can replace you.
It's getting really hard to write these letters. I choke up every time I leave one on this desk. I miss you so much, Rainbow Dash. Please write back.
----------
Thursday
“You ready for the game, dude?” Fairweather grins.
“Yeah,” you say. “I bet we'll do pretty well, even without a third member.”
“I have a good feeling about it. I think we'll set some new wingball record, or something. The first two-pony team in wingball history cruises all the way to the finals!”
You chuckle. “Well, let's worry about winning our first game. Then we'll start talking about the finals.”
You float away from Fairweather, scanning the crowd. Matches start in fifteen minutes. Rainbow Dash, if you're out there . . . we need your share of luck today.
A quick glance at the academy greenhouse in the distance reminds you of Fluttershy. She missed lunch this afternoon. Actually, I haven't seen her all day. I wonder if she knows about the game.
“Coach!” you call out, flying over to the team bench. “Coach!”
Coach Cloudmane turns to you. “What is it, son? You ready for the game?”
“I'm ready, I'm ready. There's just somepony special I want to watch the game. Can I fly out there and—”
“Whoa, we're about to start. Why didn't you think about this sooner?”
“Please, coach! I didn't see her in class. I promise I'll be quick. I won't miss the game. I—”
Coach Cloudmane sighs. “All right. Hurry up. I don't want to send out Equestria's first one-pony team to the field.”
“Yes sir!” You flash a smile, then fly off the field toward the greenhouse. I just hope she's there. I might not have time to get to her dorm.
You land carefully inside the greenhouse. As you canter to the far end, you call out, “Fluttershy! Are you there?”
No response. You head deeper in. In the corner, you see Fluttershy standing before a table, quivering.
“Hey, are you okay? You missed class.”
Fluttershy does not turn to face you. “What are these? Letters?” You look over at the papers on the table. Those are the letters I wrote to Rainbow Dash!
“What—how do you have those?”
“You knew where she was the whole time?” Her voice begins to crack.
“No! I still don't know.”
She waves a hoof at the letters. “How can you explain all of this?”
“I . . .” you trail off, unable to come up with the right words.
Fluttershy finally turns around, red-eyed. “Tell me,” she says flatly. “When did you kiss her?”
“What?”
“I said, 'When did you kiss her?'”
“I-It was a week ago,” you stammer. “The day after she disappeared. I found Rainbow Dash in the sky after everything happened and we kissed. It was a rush of emotion. I—”
“You kissed Rainbow Dash?” She stumbles backward. You softly nod as Fluttershy bursts into tears. “H-How many m-mares does it take to satisfy you, you monster?!” She runs off, leaving you alone at the greenhouse.
“Please, wait!” you call out, but she does not stop. You walk over to the letters on the table. Why are these here? I don't understand!
You check the letters. As you flip through them, a photo of you kissing Rosewing slips out from between the pages.
Oh noes
OHH SHIT. I BET IT WAS ROSEWING WHO GAVE THOSE TO FLUTTERSHY.
Nononooooo SHIT! FUCK!! God... God dammit! I knew it I knew it!! See you in hell rose wing!! I'LL PUT YOU THERE MYSELF!!!!!
So boys...
*pumps shotgun*
Anyone up for some oven-roasted Rosa-Bitch?
425894 *loads mag in M4 and pulls the charging handle*
I'm with you brother. Let's take this Pegabitch down.
Rosewing will burn.
Her ashes will scatter on the winds of time and her name will be struck from the records and annals of history. Anypony who dares speak her name even in rememberence will have their tongue removed.There never was a Rosewing. Only a pile of ashes and a recording of some last, agonised words. "Why are you doing this to me?"
On a side-note. The author deserves the highest levels of praise. This story is five times better than the concept it's built on. OC/reader surrogate starts a relationship with one of the mane 6? Normally I'd just have avoided it. But there was something about this story, some mannerism or some infintismal and unknowable attribute that brought me in. And boy, I'm so glad I'm learning how to pick the rare few out of the rabble.
The villain. The author knows what is important here. We all know the heroines, so the villain has to be unforgettable. Celestia and Luna. Rosewing is Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon rolled into one and pushed through an advanced course in sheer evil.
I saw the picture of the main character kissing Rosewing coming. But not the letters. Why? WHHY?
Messing Rainbow Dash around is bad. Going after Fluttershy is worse. Rosewing is pure evil. Bleach Dash's mane, run her out of town, then use the letters intended to bring her back to break Fluttershy's heart?. That's... Humans don't have words for that. Ther are sounds, made by dying animals that can't express that. For what? WHY? I WANT TO KNOW WHY?! WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT? DAMN YOU AUTHOR MAN. YOU WANTED ME TO CARE? I DO. I REALLY, REALLY DO. AND IT HURTS. I'M ANGRY AND HURT. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. GAME OVER. You win. I don't even care about the happy ending. I don't. Even the 0.5% chance of some kind of three way relationship I was holding out for doesn't matter to me any more.
So listen. I'll dig two graves, maybe three. Or five. Or a hundred. It doesn't matter but after I'm done, make Rosewing pay. For all that she has done. There is no action that could be taken that would be considered disproportionate retribution. No amount of pain and suffering inflicted will match her deeds. You cannot go around breaking hearts like that for no reason. No one gets to do that. So hang the code. Hang the rules. Forget the law. Make her suffer.
This story is good and you should feel proud.
MORE....SO SAYS DERPY!!!!!!!!!!!
cdn0.hark.com/images/000/002/799/2799/original.jpg
Rosewing will burn burn in my own multiverse for in my multiverse nothing matters so YOU CAN KILL ROSEWING OVER AND OVER AND IN THE BIGEST PICTURE NOPONY WILL CARE!!!!
426303
So your multiverse is a rehash of Drag Me To Hell?
426323 yes and no
shit just got REAL.
To the people saying to just shoot rosewing, I feel as if just shooting her would be putting her out of her misery in an act of mercy, This bitch needs to die, but whos to say we cant have a little torture and humiliation before.
Side note: Great writing, I want to see rosewing can still talk with a throat full of glass, and great job. I still cant bring myself to stop thinking about how Dashie feels with her mane and whatnot.
oh shit my gut was right that sick rosewing
This is what i will do to The Bitch Who Shal Not Be Named

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE KING-KONG
Time for a bitch slap. We will use our P.I.M.P hoof on RoseWing

(Grabs M2 flamethrower) Let's.
AND NOW THAT WE KNOW THE ONE RESONSIBLE, ROSEWING WILL DIE. SHE WILL DIE A THOUSAND TIMES OVER IF SHE HAS TO BEFORE SHE LEARNS HER LESSON

Rosewing. I think you will die a slow and painfull death full of misery and pain with greed and hatred. I hope we all see you die and I also hope you die in a burning ditch full of acid with everypony laughing at you. I hope you explode into guts and blood like radiers in Fallout. I hope you eat the most rotten food in the world. I think I over did it. Oh well. I am proud to give you the award for almost MLD. The first fic ever. I hope you enjoyed this little comment. I will go think of ways to torrment Rosewing. Godspeed and goodluck.
Jeez I love fics like this just as much as the next guy but come on! Killing a pony?! these comments towards rosewing are pretty extreme, I know what she did is bad but you should never have the urge to kill a pony, it's basic law.
I have nothing important or valuable to add to the comments so um........................... Rosewing is a bitch and will die because Disproportional Retribution is always fun. I do it all the time. No really what the hell is wrong with all these comments. I like this story as much as the next guy but really guys come on, she's just a huge bitch not an insane killer that murdered Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
427932 SHE MURDERD THER FEELINGS!
428203 I murder people's feelings all the time for the fun of it but you don't see people after my blood. At least I think I don't have people who want to kill me, I never really checked. And they will get their feelings back and Rosewing will get her comeuppance in do time. Plus I think it's a little over kill when 20 comments in a row say the same thing but that's just me .
'I' was right idiot not to see something like that coming.
Well, looks like this Shit *sunglasses* just got real.
In all honesty, great story. You really know how to make a total bitch that pisses everyone off. Please hurt Rosewing in some horrible way.

Rosewing!
427738 Unless it's Rosewing... DANG YOU, ROSEWING!
First off, I like your story very much. Rosewing is a bit two-dimensional, but I've met bullies like that in real life. They do exist. Life can be two-dimensional at times.
My only true problem would be, how did Rainbow come to think of Gilda as her best buddy? Unless you depart from canon, they will need to establish a friendship at some point.
I want to join the hunt... Lemme go get the 50cal.
425894 *pulls out Spartan Laser*
So do you want her medium-rare or well done?
808442 I like mine but to a crisp
OH SHIT
I know it's a little late to comment but I need to let off some steam.
Rosewing you bitch! I'm going to find your old childhood pet, dig it up, piss on it, then light it on fire while I toss it on your bed!
Seriously, I hate you so much, I hope you get Lou Gehrig disease (and if it doesn't exist in the world of ponies, I hope it makes a special exception for you).
GAAAHHH!!!
Ok, I think I'm better now.

If my personality was similar to Pinkie's, I would have told Flutters that the author made me do it. But I am not like Pinkie (Entirely), and I couldn't do that to the author.
I keel you, Rosewing.
