> Nothing Without You > by AzureGrace > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Nothing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe love is frightening. Maybe it has consequences. When you love someone...you never lose hope. Right? Am I better off dead, am I better off a quitter? My name is Rainbow Dash. I lost my best friend and my first and only love. Why did she leave me...what did I do? As I approached the library it looked huge. Maybe it was the extra branches that grew? Who knew. I knocked on the door to see one of my best friends, Twilight Sparkle. She's a lavender color pony full of magic...literally. I had to wait a while but she finally came to the wooden door. "Rainbow?Why are you here? Well... it looks like a storm is coming..."Twilight looked outside of the door,"Come in!" I walked in and sat on a chair quietly and slowly. "Whats wrong Rainbow? Are you okay?"Twilight sounded worried. I tried to stay strong, but couldn't; tears started to trickle down my cheeks. "No! Don't cry! Whats wrong?" Twilight was really worried now. "Pinkie's gone...she left me...I can't find her anywhere! I wanted to know what I did wrong so I went by Mr. and Mrs. Cakes house and they said she hadn't been at the house for 4 days! 2 days after she left me!" I managed to get out. Why did she have to leave? I miss Pinkie...I love her. They say I'm better off now,then I ever was with her. "Well when you've together for a long time, or have been the way you two were...clingy and clearly in love...the results may come in as break-up and heartbreak...like yours did." Twilight swallowed. "B-b-b-but..."I put my hooves on my head in despair,and then I looked up. "I loved her! More then anything in my life. She was the center of my universe." I started to cry more. Twilight sighed with concern and thought in silence for a moment. The flash of an idea flitted across her eyes. "I know what will cheer you up!" Twi said."Lets go!" As they take me to my local down the street,I'm smiling but I'm dying, trying not to drag my feet Fluttershy and A.J. came with Twi and I to the local arcade. Right now, I honestly wish I were dead. I may be heart-broken, but for my friend's sake...I have to try and be my normal self. "So..."I say."How is the apple bucking going?" I ask Applejack, trying to break this very awkward silence. "Huh?Oh...it's er...great so far..."A.J. said. At that moment, I don't know what came over me. I fell to my knees."PINKIE!I need by my side!"I thought. I know I shouldn't say this because of all the hardship in Zecora's homeland and all but...why do all the bad things happen to me?I'm good!I've done nothing harmful to anyone or anything!Pinkie changed me...then she changed...I started to cry. They say a few drinks will help me to forget her,but after one to many...I know that i'm never. Fluttershy offered to buy the juice pouchs after the half an hour it took to practically drag me into the Arcade. I stumbled past the metal bar at the bottom of the door once they got me on my feet. Am I that retarded?! I need to stay calm and act like it doesn't affect me... "Yum...nice choice of juice Fluttershy."I muttered.
