Chapter 11
Back in the Everfree Forest, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, the CMC, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunburst all in a circle on the ground of their campsite. They are playing some sort of game when Twilight speaks up.
"I'm worried about Spike." She says, "I don't know how he can deal with all my princess duties for 14 days straight! What if he hasn't solved a single friendship problem? Everypony will come back at me and I'll be a failure of a princess!"
"Relax, sugarcube." Says Applejack, "If I'm bein' honest, I bet you he's doin' just fine." "Yeah!" Says Rainbow Dash, "There's no need to worry yourself over worthless crap like that! Hay, I bet Spike's got it all under control!"
"Yes, darling." Says Rarity, "He's got this, so don't worry too much." Twilight Sparkle smiles, grateful for such amazing friends. "Thank you, everypony." She says, "You're all the best friends that a girl could hope for." She pulls all of them in for a hug.
Do do! It's Twilight Sparkle's phone, which should not really be brought on a camping trip with your friends unless there is an emergency, which is rarely to happen when you are in the woods or anywhere with trees with such wonderful friends. But, her reasons are also reasonable because what if somepony had texted her or needed to talk to her through calling. For Spike has texted the Princess of Friendship. Twilight Sparkle has never been so happy; Spike was doing so well!
"Maybe we should stay longer!" Twilight tells Rainbow Dash, "Spike really has the hang of this! Maybe he can be the Prince of Friendship!" "We ain't stayin' here longer." Dashie says, "When I make up my mind on how long we're gonna have a camping trip, I ain't changin' it. Yeah, Spike's excelling, but we can't live in the Everfree Forest when we belong in Ponyville."
"Z-Zecora can h-help me not be scared if I live here." Fluttershy says. "You live right by it!" Says Rainbow, "I don't see how you're so scared of it! Plus, forests have animals! You like animals! There's nothing to be scared of!"
Fluttershy whimpers and backs away from Rainbow Dash. She sobs and sobs and sobs uncontrollably. "You're the worst friend ever!" She says and runs farther and farther away from the campsite. As she flees in hurt, she gets more and more fearful as she tries to find the exit back to Ponyville. Back to her safe and comfortable cottage that just so happens to be right outside the Everfree Forest. She didn't wish to think about that now, she just wanted to hide at home and be safe and sound. And now she is. If you were to see the depressed Fluttershy now, you would see her crying on the couch in her cottage.
Back in the Everfree Forest, everypony glared at Rainbow Dash, who is sobbing quietly. "All of this trip, all I've been is a jerk." She says under tears, "What have I done?" She stands up and runs back to Ponyville in order to fix everything. Everypony else follows.
"Oh, Fluttershy." Says Rainbow Dash, "You probably can't hear me now and probably can't forgive me for being such a jerk. You probably hate me now and that's understandable. Oh, what in Equestria have I done?"
When everypony reaches Fluttershy's cottage, they watch as a guilty Dash knocks on her door.
"Who is it?" Fluttershy asks, blowing her nose.
Rainbow sighs, wiping her "uncool and useless" tears.
"Can I come in? I owe you an apology-a huge one." She brings herself to say. "Yeah." Fluttershy said, gloomily as she let Rainbow Dash into her house.
"I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for being a jerk to you the whole trip that I planned. It's not in my intentions to hurt a friend's feelings so bad that she flees back home. If only you could forgive me." Fluttershy smiles, hugging Dash as tightly as she could.
"Too tight?" She asks. "Mhm." Dash says in reply.
"I'm just glad that you told me this." Fluttershy says, "And I forgive you 100%!" "Not 20%?" Rainbow asks, grinning. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash chuckle. "Not 20%." Fluttershy says. "Well, well crap." Rainbow Dash replies, "But it's fine by me." And she smiles.
Then, everypony else returns to their homes in Ponyville.
"Hey, Twilight!" Spike exclaims, "Hey, Starlight! How was the trip?"
Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer exchange looks.
"It was the best because we learned many things along the way." Twilight says, winking at Spike.
