Fluttershy walked through the doors of the cafeteria. She was greeted by the smells of school food. To most of the students, the food was digusting, but to Fluttershy it was a delicacy compared to the food she gets at home.

Fluttershy got her tray and began serving herself. When she picked out her food, she went to go sit in her usual corner when she heard someone called her name.

She turned around and saw Rainbow Dash waving at a table alone in the middle of the cafeteria. She smiled slightly and began walking toward the table. When Fluttershy sat down Rainbow asked "I'm guessing you want to hear about why I changed. Don't you?"

"Yes please. I mean if you want to that is." She replied quietly. Rainbow sighed and began "It all began at the start of summer…

I was heading off to summer school in Manehattan because I flunked one of my classes. Stupid English. Well I had just gotten ready for the first day, and began flying there.

When I got there I saw that everyone was staring at me, and not in a good way. I was a little confused by why everyone was staring at me. I just continued to my class.

After about thirty minutes in, a wad of paper hit my head. I turned to try and see who it was, but couldn't find who did it. I looked down and saw it had some writing on it. I picked it up and read…

~Nice Hair, Lesbo~

I was confused a little at what it meant. I then realized he making fun of my hair. I crumbled up the piece of paper in anger. This person would get what's coming to him.

When the class was over I decided to try and find who wrote it. While I was searching, there were a couple of people in groups whispering and pointing at me. I knew what they were saying of course.

After a while of searching someone came up to me and began teasing me. I tried to get him to stop, but he was followed by another and another. Soon, there was a whole group of people surrounding me all saying stuff about me. I couldn't take it.

I rammed into the closest one sending her sprawling away on the floor. The others were shocked and said nothing. By the time they gotten to their senses, I was gone.

It may not have been dismal, but I didn't care. I ran straight to my grandmother's, I was staying with her while I was at summer school.

I barged right inside, not saying anything to my Grandma, and ran straight into my room.I locked the door and flopped down on the bed. I was so angry at them wondering why anyone would do such things.

There was a whisper in the wind, and it sounded like it said something like "Fluttershy". My eyes opened wide when I realized I was no better. I had been tormenting you for over 3 years. Well that pushed me over the limit.

I laid there for hours crying. My grandma tried to come in, but I constantly told her to go away. She soon stopped trying and left me alone.

It was maybe 1 or 2 hours until I calmed down enough to sit up in my bed. I wiped the tears of sorrow and regret from my eyes. When my hand left my face I had the most determined face I'd ever had. I know when I got back to clouds dale for our last year, I would make it up to you.

No… Matter… What…" She finished taking a bite of her salad. Fluttershy was sitting there with her mouth open and eyes widened in shock. Rainbow sighed and said "I know I hurt you in the past Fluttershy, and I can accept it if you don't want to be my friend. I just wanted to-". She was stopped when Fluttershy leaned across the table and hugged her. Rainbow Dash was surprised to say the least. She was really surprised when Fluttershy said "I would love to be your friend, Dashie.".

When Fluttershy let go Rainbow was smiling down at her. Rainbow suddenly had an idea. "Hey Fluttershy, Would you like to come over to my house this weekend." She asked looking at Fluttershy. Fluttershy hid behind her hair again and quietly said "Oh, I don't think I should. I don't want to be a burden.".

"Don't worry about it, Fluttershy." She said smiling "You wouldn't be a burden." Fluttershy was about to say something when the bell rang. "I got to go, Fluttershy." She said writing down on a piece of paper. She took the paper and gave it to her. "See you later, Fluttershy." Rainbow began walking away. Fluttershy picked up the paper and it had her adress.

Fluttershy smiled a little. She finally had a friend. Her smile soon dissipated when she realized she would have to her farther. She sighed and got up to get to class.
