Intervention
It had been days since anyone had seen Fluttershy. Pinkie Pie realized this while she was planning her next party. It occurred to her that while Fluttershy had gone into hiding for the time being Rainbow Dash was out and about more than usual. Pinkie Felt kind of guilty about their break up. She was the one who Fluttershy had made plans with on her anniversary. She decided to go check on her friend.
She knocked on the door to Fluttershy's cottage. When Fluttershy opened the door she was a mess. Her mane wasn't groomed, her hooves weren't polished, and there was a certain smell about her (and it wasn't a good one).
"Oh, hello Pinkie."she said meekly "Sorry everything is such a mess. I wasn't expecting anyone"
"Fluttershy, is everything alright?" Pinkie asked, now very worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine" but she was looking at the ground.
"No you're not. What's wrong?" Pinkie asked
"Everything. I just can't get what happened out of my head. It, it's just that I don't think I'll ever get over her." Fluttershy started crying. Pinkie Pie held her.
"It's okay. I'm sure you'll get over her." Pinkie comforted her.
"I don't think so. She was everything I could have ever asked for" She let out a huge sob.
"No Fluttershy!" Fluttershy could smell a pep talk coming "You could do so much better than Rainbow Dash. If she is gonna leave you with tears she is not worth it." Fluttershy zoned out for a little bit Until she heard "And I'm going to help you get over her!" Fluttershy looked at her friend "I'm having a party and you're going to go"
"Okay then. I guess a party would be fun" Fluttershy said, though she was a little unsure.
The day of the party came around quickly. Pinkie Pie decided she was going to take Fluttershy to the spa to be pampered before the party.
"This is really nice of you Pinkie, but you really don't have to" Fluttershy said while they were in the waiting room of the spa.
"But you want to look good for the party, don't you?" Pinkie said.
"Well I guess. But why are you putting so much effort into this?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh, no reason" But she had a mischievous smile as she said it. They went in and had their beauty treatments. When they were done it was nearly time for the party, so they both went back to Pinkie's house to start decorating. In no time guests starting coming. Everything was going fine until, of all ponies, Rainbow Dash walked through the door. Fluttershy gasped.
"Pinkie Pie!" She yelled, though no louder than her usual yell. "What is Rainbow Dash doing here?"
"It's to help you get over her." She said in her normal perky voice.
"How is this supposed to help?" Fluttershy was confused
"You have to face her if you are ever going to get over her" She replied in a matter-of-factly tone.
"O-okay. Whatever you say." It was then that Dash spotted her. They made eye contact then looked away. Dash went to get some punch. So many different emotions were going through her head right now.
"Go talk to her" Pinkie nudged Fluttershy.
"But why? What if it makes things worse?" Fluttershy asked, looking for an excuse not to.
"Trust me, It's gonna help" Reluctantly, Fluttershy walked over to her ex-girlfriend.
"Um, hi" She said meekly.
"Oh, hey Fluttershy. What's up?" Dash replied, as if nothing had ever happened between them.
"Not much. I've just been staying at home a lot lately. What about you?" Fluttershy said politely, but in reality she wanted to punch Dash in the face.
"A lot actually. I've been pretty busy lately" She took a sip of her punch. That's when Fluttershy saw them. Cuts all up Rainbow Dash's legs. Some looked older than others, but they covered almost the entire leg.
"Dash!" Fluttershy said before she could stop herself. "What happened." realizing what Flutter was talking about, she blocked her legs from veiw
"Nothing" She said defensively "I have to go" She started to walk away but Pinkie, who had been listening in on the conversation, stopped her.
"Rainbow Dash, what are those" She meant business.
"It's nothing. Just stay out of my business" Rainbow Dash pushed past her and left.
"This is all my fault." Fluttershy said. She starting crying and ran out. Pinkie Pie didn't know what to do. This was by far the worst party she had ever thrown. And, to add to everything else that had happened, Dash was cutting herself. This wasn't good. After the party she go Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, and Rarity together to talk about this.
"Okay, guys I have called you together to talk about Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash" She said "They are falling apart since the break up." The other ponies nodded.
"Maybe we should have them sit down and talk this out" Said the very wise Twilight Sparkle.
"Yeah, we could have an intervention." Apple Jack chimed in.
What do you think Rare?" Twilight asked. Rarity hadn't exactly been very supportive of their relationship. But agreed they should do this.
"If this is causing them physical pain we should try to help them in anyway we can." She said. They decided this intervention would be at Twilight's house. A few days later Pinkie Invited Dash to go pranking with her and Twilight asked Fluttershy for some help with a little animal she found. They lured the two ponies into the house. When they saw eachother they froze.
"What's going on?" Asked Rainbow Dash, becoming increasingly furious.
"It's an intervention." said Rarity "It's for your own good."
"I'm fine!" Dash tried to leave but Pinkie blocked the door.
"No! Dash, you need help. And you Fluttershy." She said. "You have both been a mess since the break up and it's getting bad"
"Really guys we're fine" Said Fluttershy. "We don't need help"
"How can you say you're fine? We haven't seen you for days. And Dash, you started cutting. I don't know about you but that does not seem fine." Twilight said. Now you two better sit down and lstin to us."
"Okay, fine. We'll listen, but I don't see how it's gonna help" Dash said. She sat down reluctantly.
"Alright, well for starters, Fluttershy, when I found you you hadn't showered in days, your house was a mess, and you were sitting on your couch crying your eyes out. And Dash You've been keeping all your emotions bottled up and taking it out on yourself." Twilight Sparkle started.
"You guys were so much happier together. What happened?" Rarity said which kind of surprised the other ponies).
"Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that forgetting our anniversary was happieness!" Dash shouted.
"It was just a mistake. I said I was sorry" Fluttershy said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Well sorry isn't good enough" And then it happened. Fluttershy blew.
"OH REALLY NOW! THEN WHAT IS GOOD ENOUGH? HUH! YOU CAN NEVER BE PLEASED! YOUR SUCH A LITTLE BITCH! I TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE THINGS WORK, BUT IF SORRY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU THEN YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!" All the other ponies just sat there in shock, especially Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy walked out of the house slamming the door behind her. Just as the door closed Dash broke. She just started balling. Her friends tried to comfort her but it was no use. Dash had realized she wasn't going to get her Fluttershy back. She just wanted to die.
