Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy had another play date in the park. Rainbow Dash was training her tortoise, Tank. While Angel and Winona were playing a game together . Applejack and Fluttershy were there too, but they were to busy with some chitchat. They didn't know there was a griffin in a near bush who was intently spying on them.
“There you are.” Gilda whispered to herself. “Laugh as long as you can, you mean bastard. You'll pay for all those times you tricked me. Especially for what you did to me in Sugar Cube Corner.” She thought about her plan and then laughed her evil villain laugh. But abruptly stopped before somepony could hear her.
Gilda sneaked out of the bush and went to a bar, waiting for the best time to start her devious plan. She ordered a cider and then casually sat down at a small table in the corner of the bar. She tried to hide herself, in the hope that nopony would see her. And she would have succeeded if it wasn't Pinkie Pie who stepped into the bar.
“Hello, Gilda!” Pinkie cheerfully exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh, hey…” Gilda wanted to make up a lie but she couldn't think of one. ‘Should I tell her that I’m here for vacation? No, too suspicious. Maybe I should tell her that I’m Gloria, An unknown sister. Nah, Pinkie is stupid but not that stupid.’ She thought.
“Well, umm… I’m here for…family reasons. Yeah, family.” Gilda lied. “I’m here because I wanted to see my sick cousin.”
“I didn't know you had family in Ponyville,” Pinkie replied. “but now you’re here, maybe you can join our party next week.”
“What? But I’m still mad at you.” She yelled. “I’ll never forgive any of you!” she stood up and stomped to the toilet. “You’re all lame and uncool.”
“Once a hot-head, always a hot-head.” Pinkie said to herself, and hopped to the bartender to order a cider as well.
Gilda frantically turned around so she would be facing a mirror. "Try to keep it all together.".
“Okay Gilda, don’t lose it. You only need to be here for tonight.” She said to her own reflection.
“Remember the plan. Just try to stay calm. Think about the how ruined Rainbow Dash will be when I’m done here.” She splashed some cold water in her face, stroked the feathers on her head backwards, left the toilet and returned to her table.
“There you are” Pinkie Pie said, walking towards the irritated griffon.
“Listen you pink blur. I don’t want to talk to you or your friends. Leave me alone before I lose my patience.” Gilda, filled to the brim with rage, then pulled Pinkie Pie closer and whispered. “Am I clear?”
“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie smiled and she hopped away.
“These confound ponies,” She took a sip of her cider. “they drive me to drink.”
It was late. Celestia had already lowered the sun and Luna raised the moon. Gilda was still in the bar. The moment had come to start her plan. Pinkie left the bar hours ago. Gilda looked around. ‘Okay, somepony who’s drunk and out for gossip.’ She thought to herself. She then spotted a purple pony with fruit as a cutie mark and called her over.
“What’s your name?” Gilda asked when the drunk pony finally reached the table.
“I…I’m Berry Punch. Who are you?”
“That doesn't matter. Listen, Berry, I've got a few questions for you.”
“I’m not interested in … whatever you want to ask.” Berry wanted to leave the table but Gilda stopped her.
“Bartender! Bring me and my new friend here a cider. Put it on my tab.” Gilda yelled.
Berry’s face cleared up. “I’m sorry miss… what did you want to ask?” She asked. She put both fore hooves under her head and listened with concentration.
“Well… what is your opinion about filly-foolers?” Gilda asked as a smirk formed on her beak.
Berry looked very awkward. She’d never expected a question like this.
“I hope that you don’t wanna try something with me?” Berry asked with suspicion.
“What?! No, gross.” Gilda exclaimed.
“Okay then…” she considered the question and started to talk as soon as the barkeeper brought her drink. “I don’t know.” She said and she took a sip from her cider. “I've never met one before, so I can’t really judge them.”
“What do you mean ‘never met one’?” Gilda asked. “You see one every day.”
Berry looked confused. “What?!”
“You didn't know that Rainbow Dash is gay?” Gilda shook her head.
“Wait...You mean that Rainbow Dash, our weather manager, is a filly-fooler?” Berry asked, shocked.
“That’s what I said.”
Berry’s eyes grew wide. “No,” she smiled. “why do you think that?”.
“C’mon, it’s so obvious. Just look at her; her rainbow-coloured mane and tail, the cyan blue coat, the way she talks. And besides, did you ever see her with a stallion? I mean, you won’t find something more gay than that.” Gilda confidently said.
Berry nodded in agreement. “Hm, maybe you’re right. I’ll tell everypony and ask for their opinion.”
“Good idea”
Berry turned around and trotted to a light pink earth-pony. “Hey, Lily. I've got some news!”
“What is it?” Lily asked interested.
“Rainbow Dash is a filly-fooler.”
Lily almost fell backwards of astonishment when she heard it. “No way. Who told you that?”
“That one… over there.” Berry pointed at an empty chair. “Weird, she was there two seconds ago or so…” she mumbled to herself.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter. The thing is that you may be right. Rainbow Dash, indeed, has some lesbian looks.”
Next to the door, the brown and white griffin smiled. “My job here is done.”

the next day (edited)

Rainbow Dash landed in the centre of Ponyville square. She picked up her shopping list and walked to one of the stands of the market.

“Hey, Carrot Top” she said when she reached the stand.

The orange earth-pony turned around and saw the cyan pegasus standing at her stall. She giggled a little.

“Why hello Dash. What brings you here?”

Dash cocked an eyebrow “Well… I’m here to buy some carrots! It’s not like you’ve got much choice here.” And she mentioned the stall that was filled to the top with carrots.

“I thought that you didn’t like ‘carrots’” Carrot Top said while she tried to sound sarcastic.

Rainbow Dash, who was even more confused, saw now that there were some ponies gathering around and looking at her. ‘What’s going on here?’ she thought. ‘Is this another prank of Pinkie's as revenge. Is there a paper pinned on my back?’ she turned her head and tried to see her own back and hind legs. ‘Nope. Nothing there.’ She double-checked her whole body awkwardly to find the reason as to why all these ponies were staring at her. ‘Nope, I’m still awesome. Maybe they're just impressed by me.’ And she nodded to herself. ‘Yeah, that’s why. They’re just jealous.’

“Rainbow?”

Rainbow Dash awaked from her day-dream. “Oh, uh sorry Carrot.” She scratched her mane. “No, I don’t really like carrots. They’re for somepony else.” She heard a few giggles from behind.

“And is that ‘somepony else’ a mare?” Carrot Top asked. And she gave Dash a plastic bag with a few carrots in it.

“Yeah, why?” Dash looked around and saw that there were even more giggling ponies around her.

“Oh, nothing – that makes three bits please.”

Dash put the carrots into her saddlebag and took the bits. “Here you go.”

“Thanks. Have a nice day.”

“Yeah…uh, bye” Dash said and she walked away to the next stand.

‘Okay, let’s see...’she took her shopping list again. ‘so I’ve got carrots, now I need cucumber.’ She walked to the stand with a big, dirty, brown stallion behind it. ‘I hope that he still has some cucumbers.’ As she walked, she noticed that everypony was looking at her. Like something big changed with Rainbow Dash. And the worst thing of all is, she didn’t know what. It made her feel uncomfortable.

“Why hello miss Dash. How are you doing?” the market-pony asked kindly.

‘What the...?’ Rainbow was stunned. ‘Normally he’s cruel to me’ she started to think about the time that she destroyed his stall, months ago. Although it was an accident, he was still mad. ‘And he never calls me by my name. Normally he would just say ‘rampage’ or ‘kid’ ’

“Well, uh, I’m fine. Thanks for asking.” Dash replied. She knew that, if she wanted to be polite, she would actually have to ask him the same, but she had suspicious thoughts about all of this, so all she wanted to do was buy the vegetables and leave.

“Do you still have some cucumber, sprouts and tomatoes?” Dash asked.

“Well, yes of course I have.” He took all the greens Rainbow Dash asked for and put them into a bag. “Here you go miss. Especially for you, my best products. And, just because, for free.” He gave the bag to Rainbow Dash and smiled.

The smile on the stallion’s face reminisced her of a mean sales-manager who gave one of his employees a nasty and tuff course. Just to troll him.

“huh… thanks?” Rainbow took the bag and left before he would asked weird questions too.

‘The only thing left on my list are…flowers.’ Rainbow Dash thought. She walked towards Roseluck’s stand.

Roseluck was standing with her back to the front. It seemed that she had dropped something and was trying to clean it up

“Hey Rose.” She said in the hope that she would act normal.

“Hello Dash. What would it be?” Rose turned around and smiled.

“One bouquet roses please.”

“Of course.” Roseluck took medium sized posy red roses and gave them to Rainbow Dash. “Five bits please.”

‘Finally, somepony normal.’ Dash thought while she gave her the money. “Hey, do you know why everypony is acting so weird this morning?”

“What do you mean?” Rose asked slightly confused.

“Well, everypony is staring at me like I've changed and they behave differently when I talk to them.” Dash answered.

Rose rolled her eyes. “Oh, don’t worry about that Dash. Just ignore them. It’s not your fault that they’re not so tolerant.”

“Not so tolerant?!” Rainbow repeated mystified. Before she could ask Roseluck more about it, she was already busy with another customer. “Tolerant? What the hay is she talking about?” she thought out loud.

“Hey, Dashie!” She heard from behind. Rainbow turned around and saw Lily with a nasty smirk. “How are you doing?”

“I’m fine Lily.” Dash turned around and made herself ready for a lift of, but the pink earth-pony blocked her.

“Not so fast Dashie. There is so much I want to ask”

“And so less I want to answer.” Dash flapped her wings and wanted to fly away, but Lily stopped her again.

The yellow maned pony put her hoof upon Dash’s wings. “Please, it won’t take long Dashie.”

Rainbow turned around to face the annoying pony. “Listen Lily. First of all, I’m in a hurry and I’m not in the mood for talking right now. And secondly, why are you calling me ‘Dashie’? Only Pinkie Pie does that.”

Lily smiled. ‘This is too easy.’ She thought to herself. “Pinkie, huh? Well, I guess that those flowers are meant for her then?” she pointed at the roses coming out Dash’s saddlebags.

“What? No…those are for Fluttershy.” Rainbow gave a puzzled look.

“What?” Lily asked, astonished. “No…I didn’t know that you liked HER”

“Of course..I...like..her…?” Dash said. “We've been friends since our fillyhood.” ‘gees, those ponies are acting weird’.

Lily couldn’t hold in her laughter anymore. All the ponies around her started to giggle too.

“Okay then. See you all later!? Maybe?” Dash turned around and with a few strong wing beats and she was already away from the market.

‘What just happened?!’ She thought to herself. ‘I hope that my friends aren't like that too.’ She landed at the balcony of her cloud house. She then dropped her stuff into the kitchen.‘Maybe Applejack knows why they’re all acting odd.’ But before she could go to the orchard, she had to stop by Fluttershy’s cottage for the shopping she asked for

what the hay is going on here (edited)

“And we were trying different things~

We were smoking funny things~

Making love out by the lake to our favourite song~”

A canary-coloured pegasus was singing sweetly and dancing in front of her cottage while she was cleaning the windows. Rainbow Dash then landed next to her and joined her in the song.

“Sipping whisky out of the bottle~

Not thinking ‘bout tomorrow~

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long~”

It was then when Fluttershy noticed that Rainbow Dash was standing next to her.

“Oh my… Rainbow…I…I didn’t know you were here.” She said surprised.

“Of course I am. I’m here to bring the stuff you wanted.” And she showed her her saddlebag.

“Oh, thank you so much Dashie.” And she took the bag.

“Geez. You too?” Rainbow Dash sighed

“What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked, curiously. She then trotted inside with Rainbow behind her.

“Well, Lily called me Dashie too.” Rainbow jumped onto the couch and made herself comfortable, while Fluttershy unpacked the greens.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…uh… I just thought it was a nice nickname… because… um… sorry if I insulted you with that.”

“Nah, it’s okay. It was just…weird.” Rainbow sighed again. “You see, I was at the town square this morning, and everypony was staring at me.”

“Is it really that strange? There are so many ponies who think of you as a hero.” Fluttershy said. ‘Ponies like me, for example’ she added in her thoughts.

“I know. But this stare was different. It was like… they laughed at me. It was like they joked with me without me noticing. They're all bullies.”

Fluttershy finished the unpacking and went to Rainbow Dash.

“Fluttershy? Did something change? Am I different?”

Fluttershy took a look at the desperate pegasus and shook her head. “No. You’re still the daring, fearless, cyan flier I know. The fastest, loyal and most beautiful mare of Ponyville…”

‘Did I really just say ‘most beautiful’ out loud?’ Fluttershy started to panic a bit. But luckily for her, Rainbow Dash seemed like she didn’t notice it.

“Hey, I was just about to go to Applejack. Maybe she knows something. Want to come along?”

“Sure, if you want me to.” Fluttershy said with her soft voice.

“If I didn’t want it, then why would I ask it?” Rainbow smiled.

The two pegasi walked outside and then took off towards Sweet Apple Acres.

***

“Darn. She’s not here. That means that she’s still at the market.” Rainbow cursed. She flew with Fluttershy above the farm for the third time.

“Why do you think Applejack knows why all the ponies are acting odd?” Fluttershy asked. They turned toward the marketplace.

“Well, you see, It’s actually pretty logical. The ponies at the market were acting strange. And at the market there are salesponies that talk to each other. And because Applejack is a salespony too, well… *sigh* I just hopes that she caught something of this.”

A few minutes later, they landed in the street where Applejack normally set up her stall. “We'll walk the last part. So you can see what I mean.” Rainbow said. And all of a sudden, as if on cue, all of the ponies who were busy with their daily shopping were now focused on Dash and Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash came a bit closer to Fluttershy. “See. Isn’t this weird?”

Fluttershy looked around and struggled back, like she was trying to hide herself. All those eyes made her feel uncomfortable.

“Just walk like there's nopony here.” Rainbow cheered. She knew that all of those stares reminded Fluttershy about the time at Flight Camp. Although Flutters got over it, she was still traumatized about it. And to be honest, Rainbow didn't feel comfortable with all those smirks and gazes.

Dash heard a few ponies whispering and giggling. All this giggling irritated her. She hoped that this wouldn’t last for long.

The two pegasi trotted slowly trough the street. Both trying to relax and not pay any attention to all those following eyes.

“There it is… Applejack’s stand.” Rainbow whispered.

Fluttershy walked with her head bowed downwards. “Yay?”

“Not now.”

“Howdy fellows. How’re y'all doin’?” Applejack jelled.

“We’re fine AJ. I just wanted to ask you something.” Rainbow replied.

“ ‘Kay, just a minute. Ah’m helpin’ a costumer.”

Rainbow nodded and looked at the pink earth-pony in front of her. “Oh no, not again.” She sighed.

Applejack gave the earth-pony her order. The costumer turned around and saw the cyan pegasus. “Rainbow. That’s fast isn’t it?”

“Hello Lily… Again.” Rainbow rolled her eyes, irritated.

“I can see that you’re not alone.” And the pink pony cocked her head to see the shy pegasus behind Rainbow. “Hello Fluttershy. How were the flowers Dashie gave you?”

“Um… they, um… were fine.” She whispered.

“Aw, Isn’t she cute. Isn’t she Dashie?” Lily wrapped her hoof around Rainbow.

“Back off Lily.” Rainbow snarled. “Why are you acting like a bully?”

“Am I?” Lily asked surprised. However, she didn’t sound surprised. It sounded more sarcastic. “I had no idea… sorry. I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone.” And she trotted away.

“Lovebirds?” Rainbow asked confused. “What the hay is going on here?” she didn’t notice that Fluttershy blushed when she heard this.

“That’s just the thing ah wanted to ask ya sugar cube.” Applejack said. “If ya hadn't noticed it already, every pony in town is watchin’ ya.”

“I know. That’s why I’m here. I was wondering…”

“If I knew why?” Applejack interrupted on a monotone way.

“Yeah…” she nervously scratched the back of her head. She already knew the answer.

“Nope. Ah’ve got no idea.” AJ responded.

Rainbow Dash sighed. She looked behind. She saw all the ponies around her. Staring, whispering and giggling. It irritated her. Then, she saw that Fluttershy was hiding herself behind Applejack’s stall. She was trying to hide herself from all those eyes.

“Calm down Flutters. I’ve got plan B.” Rainbow said.

Fluttershy peeped from behind the stall. “Somewhere without all those stares?”

“Yep. Just follow me.” she replied with confidence.

Fluttershy walked over to Rainbow Dash. And then they walked away together. With still those laughing gazes behind them.

“Rainbow, what does the ‘B’ stand for?” Fluttershy asked shyly.

Dash pondered about the question. She never thought about it. “I dunno. Backup?”

“And what is your backup plan.” Fluttershy asked curiously.

“Rarity.”

shut up pink one

On the roof of one of the many houses in Ponyville, a brown griffin smiled relieved.

“he, he. This is the best revenge ever.” She said. “where is the brave and heroic pony now hu?” she spied at Rainbow Dash who was still walking trough town square. “just greet. All the ponies are looking at her. I can hear them thinking. ‘oh look at the worthless pony. She’s a stupid filly-fooler.’” She grinned with her own thoughts. “and than, that yellow one. I swear that everypony is thinking that they are a couple.”

Gilda took her telescope and saw Rainbow’s confused face. She couldn’t help but laugh. “priceless. Really. Best look ever.”

“What’s so funny?” a voice from behind said.

Gilda frightened and turned around. She was now facing a pink coloured pony with (surprisingly) pink manes. “what are you doing here?”

Pinkie Pie smiled and bounced around. “well, this is actually a Pinkie-secret. But if you Pinkie-Pie-swear a Pinkie-promise that you Pinkie-swear not to tell the Pinkie-secret, than I’ll maybe tell you the Pinkie-secret. So. Are you gonna do a Pinkie-promise?”

Gilda looked confused. Nut sure what to say. “what?”

Pinkie Pie took a cup-cake that came out of nowhere, and drilled it into Gilda’s eye.

“by this, of all de goodness in a Pinkie-Cake, you Pinkie-promised to keep the Pinkie-secret a Pinkie-secret.” Pinkie stood tall and put on a serious look on her face.

Gilda rubbed the cake out of her eye. “shut up pink one.”

“but you didn’t hear the Pinkie-secret yet.”

“you’re scaring me mare.” She took Pinkie Pie by her tale and threw of the roof. “there. She’s gone. Gilda turned around to took her telescope again, but then she saw that the pink pony back.

“how did you? I mean, I threw you… I saw you falling…”

“that’s the Pinkie-secret silly-filly.” And Pinkie booped Gilda’s beak.

“okay then.” Gilda sighed. “what’s the secret.”

“which secret?” Pinkie Pie asked.

Gilda face-clawed and sighed again. “the Pinkie-secret you were talking about!”

“oh… right.” Pinkie Pie came a bit closer. To whisper something. “It’s a secret.”

Gilda turned into rage-mode, yelled and threw Pinkie Pie as far as she could.

“Pinkie-fille-do” Pinkie screamed.

Gilda relaxed. It felt good to throw ponies away. Maybe she would make a sport of it.

Then, she realised something. She took her telescope and start looking for Rainbow Dash. She hoped that they didn’t hear her screaming.

*****

The same evening, Gilda returned to the tavern. She sat at a table, close to the door.

“I’m curious. Would they still talk about Rainbow? So yes, negative?” she thought by herself.

She noticed a familiar pony at the bar. She was complaining about something, but actually, she was drunk.

“hay, Berry. Right?” Gilda asked out loud.

The deep pink mare turned around. “who called my name?” she scanned the whole room. Then, she saw the griffin waving at her. “why hello, my dear unnamed generous friend.” And she walked over to the table.

“hello Berry. What do you want to drink?”

Berry licked her lips. “I’d like a beer.”

“hay, wench! Bring us two beers” Gilda yelled.

Cherry (the owner of the tavern) felt slightly insulted by the word ‘wench’. (in some cultures ‘wench’ means ‘hooker with a harbour café’) So she was kind off pissed right now. (because she wasn’t some kind off hooker at all. Oh, and her goldfish Blup died) But because she’s friendly and stuff, she tried to keep her head cool. So, she walked slowly toward the table with two beers. She put one beer in front off Berry.

“here you go. One beer for my number one costumer…” she turned around to face the cruel griffin.

She smacked the glass brutally on the table. And mumbled something.

“okay then?” Gilda said. She didn’t know that those two words made Cherry even boil harder.

“so, why do you want to see me?” Berry wanted to know.

“oh, nothing special actually. I’m just out for a bit… you know… gossip.” Gilda said.

Berry started to smirk. “he, he… you don’t know it yet?”

Gilda smiled. “know what?” she already know what Berry was about to say, but she wanted to hear it from her mouth.

“Ponyville’s newest couple?” Berry said.

“a new couple?” Gilda tried to sound surprised, but failed so hard.

“hum hmm.” Berry mumbled confirmedly.

“and who?”

“well, you were right about the ‘Rainbow Dash is gay’ theory. And now, we all think she has a crush on Fluttershy.”

“what made you think that?”

“well, they were at the market today. And they were walking real close, and they were whispering. So, we think they are in ‘Love’”. At the last word, she started to laugh. “can you belief it? our heroic and famous weather manager is a bucking filly-fooler!”

“Funny, isn’t it?” Gilda smiled relieved. Her prank is complete.

“yeah, it’s just…” Berry took a sip from her beer. “we finally see a whole other side of Rainbow Dash. An embarrassing and miserable side.”

Gilda came up with an test. ‘how would she react if I protect RD?!’ she took a sip from her beer as well. There was a weird taste about the drink, but she ignored it.

“and, why is it so miserable?”

Berry looked surprised. “because she’s a filly-fooler!” she looked a bit upset about it. “don’t you see? She dates other mares. That makes her soft and week. That means that she prefer the company of a mare, above the company of a colt. Emotion talks above hard S***”

Gilda had to laugh with the ‘s’-word. She had to admit it. although it wasn’t a good statement, she liked the idea.

“and what does the rest of Ponyville think off it?” Gilda asked.

“the same as I do.” Berry came a bit closer. “Rainbow Dash doesn’t deserve any respect anymore.”

Gilda nodded slowly. “that’s all I wanted to know.”

*/
I don’t want to sound like a hater and all. ‘cause of that theory about gay’s and stuff. So don’t see this as an insult toward the homos.
And I censored the s-word. I already got in trouble before, and I don’t want to have them again.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy finally reached the carousel boutique.

“why do you think that Rarity knows something off it?” Fluttershy asked.

“well, she’s got a lot of contact with other ponies. So, you know, she probably heard off it. And, because she’s curious and stuff, well, she probably asked somepony.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Why don’t you just ask somepony?” Fluttershy said.

She had a real good point with this. Was it really that easy? Just ask somepony?

“well, I’m going to ask somepony?” Rainbow said.

“yes, but you’re not sure or she knows it. you could ask Lily. She knows it for sure.”

And again a good point.

“listen. You know, just like me, that I had to deal with bullies at flycamp. I know everything about bullies. I studied them. Learned stuff from them. And if there is one thing that I know for sure, is that bullies who are giggling and laughing like that…” and she pointed at two random mares who were staring at them “…never gonna tell the reason why they’re laughing. Because they know that when I know it, the fun will be over. They laugh with the fact that they know something that I don’t know. So if I know it, I can do something about it, and stop it. and that is just the thing that they don’t want. So they keep it a secret for me.” Rainbow raged.

Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash. She barely heard something about this monologue. She was daydreaming, ‘sigh, Rainbow looks good when she’s anger.’

“sorry. I didn’t mean to yell.” Rainbow apologised.

“it’s okay.” Fluttershy said softly. “I kinda understand you. But, don’t you think you take this to serious?”

“to serious?” she took her friend by the shoulder. “almost whole Ponyville is laughing at me! It’s killing me!”

Fluttershy looked deep into the magenta eyes. ‘so good…’ she thought.

Rainbow pulled back. “I’m sorry Flutters. I…”

“It’s okay Rainbow. Really. Don’t feel bad about it. you’re emotional right now, and I’ll help you dealing with it. even if it means that you have to yell now and then.”

“Thanks Flutters. Thank you.” She hugged her best friend. “you’re my best friend.”

‘just friends?’ Fluttershy thought. After a few moments, they were still hugging. ‘I hope that she gets more trouble like this. It makes her emotional unstable. I like it.’

Rainbow pulled back. “come one. Lets check out or Rarity knows something useful.”

“I’m right behind you.” Fluttershy whispered.

*****

“the room was blood red with paintings off flames. Goats who were dressed like soldiers, armoured with pitchforks. In the centre of the room, there was a big throne made out off sculls. On top off it, the ugly mare was yelling at hundreds of slaves. The ugly mare was dressed with only a pants made of goat fur. Her horn, shimmers in the light that came from the torches at every wall in the room. After she gave her commands, she took her mirror and watched her own, terrible reflection. She regarded herself like the god off gossip. As soon as two mares approached the ….”

“Rainbow. Why are you telling this?” Fluttershy interrupted.

Rainbow smiled. “sorry, couldn’t let it.”

The two mares entered the boutique. In the shop were Flora and Cloud Kicker, looking between the dresses. Rainbow sighed. “you know what Fluttershy, why don’t you start looking for Rarity. I’ve got to talk a bit with Cloud Kicker about the weather schedule for tomorrow.”

Fluttershy nodded and walked upstairs.

Rainbow Dash flew toward Cloud Kicker. “hay, Clouds, I’ve got a quick question about tomorrow. Do you …” she didn’t get any farther than that, because she got interrupted by an awful giggle from both of them. “yeah, yeah. Haha… Rainbow Dash is here. Oh that’s funny.” Rainbow said annoyed.

“Rainbow…” Clouds started. “I don’t think that you have to come tomorrow.”

“what?” Rainbow Dash asked confused.

“don’t misunderstand me…” she giggled a bit louder. “it’s for your own good.”

“yeah, because not everypony wants to work with a pony like you.” Flora continued.

Rainbow Dash was even more confused. “what do you mean? I’m awesome. Everypony wants to work with me.”

“but not at you” Flora whispered. This made both mares even laugh harder.

“are you all insane or something?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“now, but some are not that tolerant.” Clouds said.

‘Tolerant?’ Rainbow Dash thought. ‘that’s what Rose told me earlier today’

“anyway, I get you off from the weather plan for a while.” Clouds said.

“What?” Rainbow Dash yelled. “seriously?! But I need to do this work. I need the money!”

“belief me Dash. It’s for your own good.” Flora said.

“for my own good? How am I supposed to get food without a job?”

“you can always live with Fluttershy for a while.” Clouds smirked. And the two mares trotted toward the exit.

“I guess so. But that’s not the point. Give my one reason why you would pull me back!” Rainbow raged.

“you know why. For what you are Dash. For what you are.”

And with that, the two pegasi left the confused Rainbow alone.



Fluttershy entered a random door in the big hallway. And it seems like she was lucky, because she found Rarity immediately.

“why, hello darling. How are you doing?” Rarity asked. She sat in her inspiration/bed room. Probably designing new clothes. (but that’s pretty useless, because she already has a new clothing line for the next fifteen seasons)

“I’m fine, thanks for asking.” Fluttershy responded. “how are you?”

“well, I’m fine, too. I’m actually buzy with…” Rarity trailed off when Rainbow Dash entered the room. “Rainbow Dash… euh… can I talk to you in private?”

Rainbow looked at Fluttershy and then, back to Rarity. “sure, go ahead.”

“well, this is something that you…” Rarity said before Dash interrupted her.

“No, Fluttershy can hear it too.”

“why, okay then…” Rarity said surprised. She came from her seat and trotted a bit closer. “Is it true?” she asked.

“what do you mean?”

Rarity sighed. “How will I say this, euh… are you…euh… this is not easy,” she ticked on her muzzle. Than, she looked like she had an idea. “Rainbow Dash. Are you gay?”

Rainbow Dash was stunned. “what?”

who the hay said that?

Rainbow Dash was stunned. “what did you just ask?” she hoped she misunderstand it.

Rarity repeated slowly and loud. “ARE … YOU … GAY?”

“why for the love off Celestia do you ask that?” Rainbow asked.

“well, Lily told me that…”

“Lily?!” Rainbow Dash interrupted “I’m going to kill that daughter of a …”

“Rainbow Dash!” Fluttershy said out loud. She was surprised off herself. For the first time ever, she managed to rise her voice in front off Rainbow Dash.

Dash didn’t care at all and continued her rage. “B****! The **** devil! **** alcoholic **** s*** f***ing with **** f*** k*** sc**! rape her in the ***! I’ll put a *** in her b***ing ***!”

Rarity and Fluttershy were amazed by Rainbows extended terminology.

After four….five minutes of raging, Rainbow Dash finally stopped.

The two other mares were still stunned.

Dash looked at the couple and then left them.

Just then, the frozen mares awoke. “where is she going?” Rarity asked.

“probably looking for Lily.” Fluttershy said.

Rarity thought about it. she thought about the worst things that could happen. What if Rainbow means every word she said… “we must stop her before she does something stupid.”

“to late.” Fluttershy looked out off the window. In the small wooden shed, several tools flew out.

“what in all goodness of Equestria is going on here?” Rarity asked.

No need to say, but the two mares ran as fast as they could toward the shed. It was obvious the Rainbow Dash was in it.


“Rainbow Dash! What are you doing here?” Fluttershy said as loud as she could. (loudly whispering)

Rainbow didn’t pay any attention at it. she was clearly looking for something. Then, she turned around with a spade in her hoof. “this will do.”

“will do for what?” Rarity was afraid, she already knew the answer. But hay, miracles happens all the time.

“Taking revenge” was the only thing Rainbow said.

Fluttershy held her back. “this is no way to express your feelings.” She said.

Rainbow looked at the spade. Than at Fluttershy. She always listened to Fluttershy when she had serious problems. She know that Fluttershy was always right. Rainbow thought back about all those times she had a problem, and Fluttershy was always there with the right advice.

“yeah, your right.” Rainbow agreed. She threw the spade away.

Rarity sighed. “Now it’s time to calm her down and talk this out.” She whispered to Fluttershy. “and after that, we will call all our friends to solve this problem.

Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

Rainbow looked around and then with an awful smirk, she looked at the two others. “A chainsaw is better for this.” She took the tool that laid ‘accidentally’ next to her and then flew away.

“we lost her!” Rarity yelled. They both ran out the shed. And looked at the anger rainbow in the sky. Heading to Ponyville square.

“what do have to do now?” Fluttershy asked.

Rarity bit on her lip. She’s never been in a situation like this. “well, euh… Fluttershy. Follow Rainbow Dash. When you find her, try to stop her. I’ll go looking for the others and than we start looking for Lily before Rainbow does.”

Fluttershy nodded. “okay.” And she flew off.

Rarity immediately ran toward the Golden Oak Library. (I know it exploded, but this is a paradoxical story. Twilight is an alicorn, Discord is reformed, Tirek is still locked…free, but weak and Muffins are twice as big as usual. So, yes, this story happened before episode 25 from season 4 ‘Twilight’s kingdom.’ Which is actually kind of stupid. Twilight is a princess, and … KINGdom? And she doesn’t get a city, empire, or even a big land, NO. she gets a tree shaped castle. That’s it. she get the title of ‘princess of Friendship’. So… explain me the ‘Kingdom’ part of the title. Ps, I do like the episode XD anyway… back to the story)



“It all make sense now.” Rainbow Dash thought. “Lily spread a rumour. She said that I was gay, so everypony thought I was gay. So that explains why everypony acted so weird. But still. Why would she do that?” and she know that it will be hard to earn her respect back. She thought back about a less extreme, but still good to compare memory.
everypony thought Rainbow was a weak and sappy pony, because she was caught in the spa. It ruined Rainbow’s honour. Although Gabby Gum (the CMC…duh) apologised, it still took some time before everypony forgot the whole incident. It took three months before everything was back to normal.

“if it took three months for a spa treatment, how long would it take to get over this?” Rainbow Dash thought. But than something else interrupted her thoughts. (no, not the wooden helicopter, or a hot air balloon.) “man, this chainsaw is really heavy.”


Let’s check out Twilight. She just returned from the everfree forest with Applejack and Pinkie Pie by her side. They were talking about the amazing stuff they saw in the woods. All off a sudden, an exhausted Rarity popped in.

“Girls! I’m glad I found you all…” she said.

“Rare.. what’s goin’ on. Ya look like a nine month pregned timb’rwolf, despaired for some food.” Applejack said with a look of disgust.

Rarity looked at herself. “do I really look that bad? I know I’m nude and all, and I’m wet and dirty from the running, but that’s no reason to teas me like that…”

“shut it!” Twilight interrupted. “Rarity. What’s going on?”

“Rainbow Dash is about to make the biggest mistake ever!” Rarity jelled.

“again?” Applejack asked.

Twilight ignored the comment “what kind off mistake?”

“don’t you know?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Rainbow Dash is mad, because someone spread a rumour that Rainbow Dash is gay. So, she want to take revenge on the one who spread the rumour. And if I’m correct, Dash is about to take revenge on Lily, because she teased Rainbow the most. And Dash known… she probably want to kill her with a spade.”

“almost dear… It’s…” Rarity wanted to say.

“wait, I wasn’t done yet.’ Pinkie interrupted. “you and Fluttershy tried to reason her, but you failed and now, Dash took the chainsaw.”

The three other stood stunned of Pinkie’s monologue.

“that’s ridicules.” Twilight said.

“yeah.” Applejack “everypony knows that spades are way more effected than a chainsaw. It’s more painful but it takes longer, but that also makes the victim suffer more.”

“I prefer the hacksaw” Pinkie Pie said. “you can do much more with it.”

Applejack nodded. “agree, but t the best weapon to kill someone is ‘frozen meat.’ Just smack it in his neck and than, you bake the meat. When the cops come in and they ask you ‘do you know something about this case?’ than you can be like ‘no mister shithead, but would you like to have some meat?’ and than he’s like ‘sure, as long as you don’t see it as cannibalism.’ And than he eat the only evidence.”

“actually, that was not the thing that was stupid.” Twilight interrupted “I mean… come on. It’s Equestria. Oil isn’t found yet to make the chainsaw work.”

“girls!” Rarity yelled. “Rainbow Dash is about to kill someone. We’ve got to stop her!”

“oh yeah.” Applejack said. “okay, c’mon y’all.” And the four ponies ran as fast as they could to the market. Looking for Lily.


Spoken of Lily. Where is she? That’s right. At home. At the edge of the town, where no one can hear her. Casual, isn’t it?
