"What?" Rainbow glanced around the dimly lit park to see if nopony else could overhear the two equines conversation. Her wings were stiff at the surprising question.
"I… w-would you like to go out to dinner… with me?" The poor girl let her pink mane waterfall around her now red face. Rainbow Dash continued to stare at her friends curious and trembling face, she already knew the answer to Fluttershy's question. Fluttershy still continued as Rainbow stared questioningly.
"Not like… a date, though that would be nice… No! Wait. That's not what I meant, I-I mean… um," It was clear that Fluttershy was stammering for the correct words.
Rainbow was taken aback by Fluttershy, but her mind and feelings had the same answer.
"I'm sorry," the high flying pegasus said with a sad shake of her head. She couldn't bear to see her childhood pal crying from a broken heart. She turned to her left from the small picnic table to distract her. She saw a group of three familiar fillies laughing as they played a game of catch near the gazebo. From where she had turned from, Rainbow hear a swift wind pass through her mane and felt her eyes water because she knew exactly what the noise was.
When she brought herself to actually look at where Fluttershy was sitting before, she saw nothing but an empty space and three tear stains on the wooden table. Nopony was to be found.
She looked up in the sky and saw a pastel pink streak across the sky in the distance and perked her ears as the laughter of the fillies got louder. She glanced back at the lonely picnic table with her mouth agape. She still couldn't believe she caused such a thing to happen to a beloved friend, tearshed coming from her own eyes as her vision got blurry. She stood up on her seat and brought her wings to a slow rise.
"I'm so sorry Fluttershy…" she repeatedly muttered as she glided through the comfortably moving clouds and amber sky as she made her way towards her lovely little cloud home on the outskirts of Cloudsdale.
She didn't know where she was gonna go, she just wanted to get away from anywhere that had anything remotely to do with Rainbow Dash. Soon Fluttershy's wings grew tired as she slowed down to a comfortable pace, but her tears plopped down from her cheeks and fell into the blurry atmosphere beneath her. The yellow pegasus clamed herself and gently landed on a cumulus nearby, muttering to herself about what she could've done.
But soon enough, her sore, tired eyes closed.
