Chapter 6: The Emotionless Friend

Rainbow Dash POV:

I'm finally going to school today.

I feel so much better after I began to forget Applejack's hurtful words.

But, every time I look in the mirror. I'm emotionless. I try to put a smile on my face, but a frown always manages to cover up the smile.

I don't think I'll ever be the same as before again.

At school...

I opened the front door of CHS, to see my friends at the door waiting for me.

"RAINBOW DASH!" They all screamed, except for the blonde and the fashionista girl who was leaning against a locker, talking.

I tried my very best to put on a smile on my face, but I couldn't.

All my friends except the lesbian couple pulled me into a tight embrace.

"Are you okay, Rainbow Dash?" Sci-Twi asked worriedly.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I replied emotionless.

"You don't seem very fine. Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked kindly.

"YEAH! Put a smile on your face!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"I don't think I can," I replied. I wasn't about to tell my friend's that I couldn't even smile.

I looked over to the couple who was still leaning on the lockers chatting.

Applejack took a little peek at me then looked away, looking guilty.

Rarity just gave me an evil smirk.

"Why not?" Sunset asked, bringing my attention back to them.

"I don't know. I just can't." I replied, then walked away from my friends to my locker to get ready for the first period.

Applejack POV:

I feel so horrible.

When I saw Rainbow Dash walk into the school, she looked so broken and emotionless. I could notice her magenta eyes turning dark. Even that cute rasp in her voice is disappearing.

I'm terrified. What if I ruined her life?

What if I never see those eyes shine brightly again?

What if I never get to see and hear her beautiful smile and laugh?

What if her voice turns emotionless and that cute and adorable rasp is gone?

I feel so guilty.

I want to apologize, but I can't.

What if I mess up our friendship even more!?

What if she never becomes the Rainbow Dash we all know again?

A week later...

Rainbow Dash still goes to school. But, she's so different.

She's no longer her arrogant, cocky, stubborn, and competitive self anymore.

And, it's all because of me.

I don't know what to do anymore.

A notification popped up on my screen.

Sci-Twi - WE NEED TO MEET NOW. IMPORTANT. MY HOUSE.

Sunset - WHAT? Equestrian Magic Problem?

RD - I'm busy. Can't go.

Sci-Twi - Luckily, you don't need to. And Sunset, no it's not an Equestrian Magic problem.

Fluttershy - I'm coming right now.

Pinkie Pie - Yup. Same!

Rarity - On my way.

Me - Comin' right now.

I feel horrible.
