Confession of Depression

Rainbow lay there, holding the purple unicorn she had fallen for so long ago, staring into the violet pools that were her eyes. She could see the love she had dreamt for within, giving her a rush of warmth. She squeezed Twilight slightly, relishing in her warmth. Rainbow closed her eyes and buried her muzzle into the purple mass of hair before her and inhaled the scent of jasmine, lightly buried by the scent of lilacs. Hugging her tighter, Rainbow nuzzled deeper, a smile on her face as she pressed further into the mane of her love, giggling lightly as the hairs tickled at her nose. She wrinkled her nose, bringing her hoof scratch at it.

Rainbow opened her eyes, a large yawn emerging from her mouth as she stared at the ceiling. After a moment of silent contemplation, she glanced down, her eyes widening and her mouth dropping as she took note of the mass of purple hair on her shoulder. Her mind reeled, her body acting without thinking. Rainbow leapt backwards toward the edge of the bed and her legs tangling in the covers causing her to fall to the floor with a dull thud. Most likely awakening Twilight.


Not again... She thought as she sighed I... I can’t think that... not yet...




Twilight bit her lower lip, she wanted to tell Rainbow; she really did but... She shook her head and let her shoulders slump. She had been crying most of the morning, only stopping when she had felt the cyan hooves pull her in close. It reminded her of her fillyhood, when her mother would hold her as she cried and confessed to wrong doings and the bullies.



When she felt the hooves shove against her though, it had brought up recent thoughts of her heart shattering failure, and she couldn’t hold it anymore. The tears started flowing rapidly down her muzzle and into the bed sheets.


“R-rainbow! A-are you alright?” She wiped her tears as she stuck her head over the edge of the bed to investigate the thud.


“Yeah... I’m fine”


As Rainbow glanced at her she turned herself from the magenta eyes so the tears streaming from her eyes wouldn’t show.


“Are you?” Rainbow asked gingerly.


“Y-yeah... I-I’m fine... J-just had a b-bad dream... I-I’m fine n-now...” Twilight replied, hoping that Rainbow wouldn’t pursue the question.


“Twi... You know I hate it when you lie... especially to me...” She said, sadness seeping into her features. “Please... Just tell me the truth...”


Twilight couldn’t hold it back any longer. She started crying softly, tears rolling down her muzzle, sobbing silently.


I-I would... But how would I tell her? What would her reaction be... What would she think of me...


Twilight felt a wing encase her, gently bringing her closer to the cyan mare that crept onto the bed. Rainbow nuzzled Twilight as she cried, slowly wrapping her other wing around her.


“Twi, please don’t cry.” She whispered, “You can tell me whenever you want. I promise it will help.”


Twilight sat there silently sobbing, trying to stop, but the memory of her visit was still fresh on her mind. Silently Twilight tried to crawl out of the pegasus’ embrace, but Rainbow squeezed tighter. Wiggling a bit more to get out, the embrace tightened more. Rainbow wouldn’t let go.


“Twi, don’t leave yet... I-I want to - No... I need to help you. I can’t stand seeing you like this. Please let me help...” She pleaded


“Dash... P-please let me go...” She begged. “I-I’m not... I’m not r-ready to tell you...”


Rainbow sighed, loosening her grip on the purple unicorn enough for her to wriggle free. Twilight started to make her way to the washroom, stemming the flow of tears that threatened to fall, but was stopped by a cyan wing.


“J-just promise me you’ll let me help you... When you’re ready?” Rainbow asked.


“I-I promise...”


Twilight walked into the washroom. Closing the door behind her, she cast a sound proofing spell and fell to the floor sobbing, the memories of what happened coursing through her mind.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Twilight stared at the scene before her, looking at what had been done with a look of shock.


B-but, I haven’t done that since I was a filly! And it was never as bad as this! She thought with utter bewilderment.


She glanced around seeing the disapproving looks that were sent her way. Glancing up at the princess and seeing the same look reflected upon her face, she could only turn and run crying back to her room.


Rainbow sat on the bed and watched Twilight as she made her way to the washroom.


She’s really making me worry about her... She thought.


Rainbow waited for a long while, staring at the ceiling waiting for Twilight to return. Leaving the beds soft comfort, she made her way to the bathroom door knocking softly.


“Twi, are you alright?” She asked concerned.


When no response came, she decided to knock again.


“Twi?” She tried again but once again this elicited no response.


Twilight is really upset about this... She thought I want to see her smile again... Her perfect, beautiful smile...


Rainbow silently trotted to Twilight’s balcony and sat down looking up at the sky, allowing the breeze to ruffle her feathers.


I would do anything... She thought with a groan. If only she would give me a chance... I can’t help her if she won’t let me help!


Rainbow let her gaze fall to the wooden flooring that made up the balcony, allowing a tear to fall. Stamping her hoof in frustration she lay down on the wooden flooring.


I hate seeing her so upset... Why won’t she let me... She knows she can tell me anything... or does she? She thought, astonished.


S-she does know... doesn’t she?


Rainbow got back onto her hooves and trotted back into Twilight’s tree home and sat back upon the bed, waiting for Twilight to return. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Twilight opened the door to the bathroom, and stared at Rainbow.

“Dash... I have something I need to tell you...”

3123211 Hahaha, sorry... I'm extremely slow with writing. Although, there won't be a chapter 3 coming out anytime soon, I am bringing chapter 2 through a whole different direction, hopefully very soon. So... watch out for that.

WHAT!?!?!?!!??!?!NO MORE CHAPTERS AVAILBLE?!?!??!!??!!?? no...no,nononononononnononononoNONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!! THERE HAS TO BE MORE CHAPTERS, THERE HAS TO!!!!!!!!!BRAIN DOES NOT COMPUTE BRAIN DOES NOT COMPUTE AUAUAUAUAUAUAUGH *brain implodes*. *in demonic voice* I will eat your soul, bath in your blood and murder your family unless you make more chapters. I'm joking. But in All seriousness, great story, definitely deserves 5 moustaches (stars) :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

3455624 3474903 Well... :applejackconfused: definitely the most creative comment... ever... Hahaha. Anyway. I've tried to make my brain work for all my stories, but I'm not one to push what comes out. So I have no idea when the next chapters are coming out. Very sorry. But, I can safely say that the new chapter 2 is almost done and I will be starting on chapter 3 soon I hope. I'll be posting them together.

3477322yeah:twilightblush:... I can get pretty creative in ways like that.:twilightblush:. It's alright if you can't get a chapter out every day like I'm used to with youtube(videos every day) as I like to say, the faster you go, the farther you get behind. also, slow and steady wins the race.:twilightsmile: keep up the great work.:twilightsmile::pinkiehappy:

i'm very interested in seeing an upate, if that's ok with you

EEEHHHH!?! I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :applecry:

When is the next chapter coming out

5382672 when I get my new computer. As the one I was using to write the story before has been fried. I should be getting my new one sometime this month, or next month. After that, it's a time game.

This story so far is phenomenal. The care shown by rainbow is heart warming, while the sadness shown by twilight is heart wrenching. I don't do this often, but you've forced my hand. I'm begging you to finish this story: please, please, please with a freaking cherry-chonga on top.:pinkiesad2:

Sorry to be a jerk here. It seems like a new chapter for this will come out soon but THIS is why you don't leave this stuff on cliffhangers my fellow ponies! When there is a cliffhanger then you don't update your story then you have a bunch of irritated ponies telling you to update already!!! :twilightangry2: Other than that great story! Now... TASTE MEH RAINBOW FACES!!!! :rainbowkiss: :rainbowkiss: :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh:

OH MY GOD I FRICKIN HATE CLIFFHANGERS :twilightangry2: Despite that I loved it :pinkiehappy:

Uhhhh... I know it's only been four days since I last commented but... SIR!!! IS THIS STORY DEAD?!

5783748 The story is definitely not dead. I AM writing. It's just at a snails pace. I'm also working on another 2 stories on top of this one, so it's still alive, just... pushed off to complete the one shot I'm working on mostly. After that, I'm hoping it'll give me more inspiration to continue this one at a much faster pace. I'm also going to try to see how the story turns out if I re-write the second chapter to create a better direction for it to go in.

5788726 Okay. Sorry for being impatient it's just... This story is so good! I know that's no excuse.

5789161 It truly is my fault. I haven't updated in over a year. Although most of that time my computer was out of commission, that is still no excuse. Alas, I am working on it and hopefully I can get all of my updates done fairly quickly. But I can't promise a date that they will be released.

5789824 Your computer was down for the count? That's fair. Technology always will give out on you. It's not a matter of how, it's just a matter of when, so don't be sorry.

5789824 so is this story dead...or what?

5971833 Nope. Just, not being able to work on it for so long kinda throws you for a loop on what you were doing with it. I'm honestly working on a story I had written on paper at this moment, so it could take a while longer, but no it's not dead. Just pending a slight change in where it was. Also will most likely be re writing the second chapter as I've thought of a better way to take it. I honestly don't know how long it'll take, and if inspiration hits me out of the blue I'll definitely work on it. But I'm hoping to get this other story out before that happens whilst it's still fresh.

I do apologize for the long wait, and as I said before it IS completely my fault, so hopefully inspiration comes sooner rather than later.

So much suspense…can't wait for the next chapter:scootangel:

Loving this! I'll keep an eye out for updates!:pinkiehappy:

Is this story dead ?
