> A letter > by King Ice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A letter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Are you sure about that?” Rainbow Dash asked nervously She was currently in Rarity’s boutique to, surprisingly, ask her help with something that didn’t surprise Rarity. How to confess her love to Twilight. How this happened? Well, Rainbow really wanted to confess her love for the lavender alicorn, the only problem was that she didn’t know how to do it, her best solution was to ask Rarity, Rainbow was sure she could help, she had more knowledge about love than everypony else. Of course, Rainbow Dash was quite surprise to hear that Rarity already knew about her crush on Twilight. “Of course, darling, every mare would love a letter, more precisely a poem, if you’re to scared to directly talk to her, this is the best solution!” Rarity exclaimed while leaving a piece of blue dress on a ponynnequin. “Well, I’m not good at writing poems, I’ve never written one in my whole life, so, maybe, you could write it?” Rainbow nervously asked to Rarity, who just sighed. “I can’t Rainbow, you’re the pony who has a crush on Twilight, you have to confess your love, not me, you just have to believe in yourself, haven’t you said your second name is ‘danger’? So, now get out and go write the best poem ever for the beautiful princess of friendship!” Rarity yelled while Rainbow Dash just took a breath before smiling. “Yes, you’re right! A stupid letter will not stop me, I’m the most awesome pegasus in all Equestria!” Rainbow yelled as she began to fly. “Thanks for listening me Rarity!” *** “Okay, I definitely can’t do that,” Rainbow Dash muttered while flying above Ponyville. “Write a poem, pff, I knew it was a stupid idea, I tried for hours to write something,” She muttered desperate, Rarity can’t help her, it’s obvious now. And now, she still didn’t know what to write for Twilight. “If only somepony could just, magically appear to help me,” rainbow Dash thought, however, suddenly a pink ball hit her right in the face getting her out from her thoughts. She groaned and looked around her. “Okay, who launched that ball!?” She yelled angry. “Oh, it’s me, sorry Rainbow Dash!” A voice cried under Rainbow, she looked at the ground and saw Pinkie Pie, smiling at her, Rainbow smiled and landed in front of her. “Pinkie! I’m happy to see you, I have something really important to ask you!” Rainbow Dash said, happy, maybe Pinkie could help her. “Oh, you want to learn my secret recipe for my cupcakes!?” Pinkie Pie asked, Rainbow Dash only glanced at her before clearing her throat. “No, this is for something more important than cupcakes,” She responded as Pinkie gained a shocked look. “Oh no, you mean there is a new pony in town and I didn’t throw a welcome party!?” She shouted while the other ponies of the street glanced at them, awkwardly. Rainbow Dash hoofpalmed. “No, it’s not that, let me finish Pinkie,” Rainbow began as Pinkie Pie interrupted her one more time. “No, don’t tell me I forgot somepony’s birthday!?” She howled horrified by this. Rainbow Dash sighed. “Okay, never mind, I’ll find somepony else,” She muttered as she flew away from Pinkie, who ran to ask everypony she saw whose birthday she missed. Rainbow flew only few minutes when she saw another one of her friends, Fluttershy who was feeding a little bunny in front of the townhall. “Hey, Fluttershy!” Rainbow exclaimed as she landed in front of the shy pony “Oh, hello Rainbow Dash, I’m happy to see you, how are you today?” Fluttershy asked in her usual tone. “I’m fine but I need to ask you something really important,” Rainbow Dash said as Fluttershy looked away “Oh, are you sure? If it’s so important, maybe you should ask somepony else, I don’t know if I can answer,” Fluttershy responded, worried, she wasn’t the optimist kind of pony. “Oh, I’m sure you can help me!” “Oh… Then okay,” “You see… I have a friend who have a really big crush on a mare and this friend want to write her a letter, but he doesn’t know what to write and how to write it, so… maybe you could give some tips,” Rainbow said with an awkward smile. “Well… your stallion friend could…” “Actually, it’s a mare,” Rainbow Dash interrupted her. “Oh sorry, I didn’t know, so, this mare could write a poem, everypony love poems,” Fluttershy said while smiling at Rainbow who just sighed, not that again! “Thank you for the help, Fluttershy, but I have to go!” Rainbow said before flying away as fast as possible, Fluttershy looked at her and shrugged before returning to the feeding of the bunny. *** “What do I do now?” Rainbow sighed while laying on an apple tree, every time she asks a pony to help with this stupid letter, they say to write a poem, or they simply ignore her, they change subject! Maybe it’s better to just go talk with Twilight directly. “What are you doing on one of mah tree?” A voice asked, Rainbow looked down and saw Applejack, she sighed and jumped off the tree. “Sorry, I just wanted to take a nap,” Rainbow said depressively, Applejack narrowed her eyes, this is not the Rainbow she knows. “Ah see that you have a problem, tell me what’s going on, maybe Ah can help,” Applejack said, Rainbow turned over and glanced at her before sighing. “Okay, I have a friend who asked me to help her to write a letter for a mare she loves, but I know nothing of how to write a poem nor she knows,” Rainbow Dash explained while Applejack smile “A friend, huh? Well, your friend doesn’t have to write a poem,” “Really!?” Rainbow asked regaining hope “Yeah, if Ah were that friend of yours, Ah would write Ah feel and everything she make me feel, it doesn’t matter if it is a poem or not,” Applejack said, Rainbow glanced at her and smiled. “Oh, thank you Applejack! You’re right! I should have… I mean My friend should have did that from the beginning!” Rainbow Dash yelled before flying to her home, to write the letter. Applejack smiled. “Okay, now, Ah can’t wait to see that letter she’s writing for me,” Applejack muttered to herself *** At the castle of friendship, few hours after, the night has fallen as Twilight was reading some scrolls on her throne, however, she has been deconcentrated when the door opened revealing Starlight. “Oh, you’re not asleep yet?” She asked as she approached her with a paper levitating with Starlight’s magic “No, I have some scrolls to study, and what is that paper?” Twilight asked as she pointed the paper “I saw Rainbow and she said me to give you this,” Starlight said as she gave the paper to Twilight. “Well, now I’m going in my bed *yawn* don’t forget to go to sleep,” She said before leaving Twilight alone, Twilight looked at the paper and opened it, it was a letter. “That’s strange, Rainbow doesn’t write letters usually,” She thought Dear Hey Twilight, This seems strange to write, because I don’t often write letters and I’m sure you know that, but here it is. Twilight, the first time I saw, I just thought you were an egghead absolutely not awesome, but as the time passed, I saw you were much more than a simple egghead, you’re awesome and cool, and I don’t say this to anypony, I always loved your tenacity, you never gave up when we’ve been attacked by all the enemies who wanted to take over Equestria, and if you haven’t been here I would be a big jerk because of Discord. I know there is sometimes I underestimate you, but inside me I always know everything will be fine when you are with us. For me you were an awesome egghead and a cool pony, the cooler unicorn in whole Equestria. And, when you got your wings, I was so happy because you became even sexier you could fly with me and I could show you what I see every time I fly, and now I think you are the cooler alicorn (don’t say it to other princesses). Now, I don’t know why, but I remember what happened with Tirek, for a moment I thought all hope was lost, and then you came, if you haven’t saved Discord, Tirek will be destroying and torturing ponies right now, I think this was the moment where I began to feel these new feelings, and I’m sure you know of what I’m talking, I’m sure you knew at the third or fourth line. Twilight, I love you Twilight glanced at the letter, voiceless, she wasn’t ready for something like that, she didn’t even know how to react. “So, what do you think, Twilight?” A voice asked, Twilight widened the eyes and raised the eyes and saw Rainbow Dash in front of her. “If you don’t feel the same, I can understand…” Rainbow Dash began but was interrupted by Twilight who hugged her. “Oh, Rainbow, I felt them since the first time I saw you,” Twilight responded, Rainbow couldn’t help but smile. “Then, I guess I can do that!” Rainbow said before kissing Twilight who was furiously blushing.
