Anon Comforts Dash(Oneshot)

>Day who gives a fuck in Equestria.

>Just a normal day really, aside from some things concerning Dash.

>This specific day, Dash saved a pony and the town started loving her and praising her as their her.

>So nothing major.

>Pretty cool, actually.

>You didn’t really like Dash that much, she always seemed in too much of a hurry for you to both sit down and actually talk to each other.

>From what her friends have told you, she’s a pretty good pony.

>She was also pretty fucking amazing, she can do some really awesome things in the air.

>Something doesn’t really feel right about the way she soaked up all the praise.

>It was almost as if she was striving off it.

>Ah well, as you said before, none of your business to get involved.

>To be honest, from your perspective it looked like she had some sort of an inferiority complex.

>Funny considering how much she parades around saying how she is the best, but if it is anything like what happened when you and the girls went up to Cloudsdale to support her, it was as if she needed ponies to tell her she was the best to truly believe it.

>It even made sense considering how she showed just how much she hated losing to the point where she flat out fucking cheated.

>It’s like she needs validation in order to actually have confidence...

>She’s an odd pony.

>But then again, who isn’t?

>”Greetings, stranger!”

>You turn to look at a news pony.

“Uh… hi…”

>”Have you heard? The Mysterious Mare Do Well was spotted again!”

>He tosses you a newspaper, then stands there as if expecting something.

>You were about to ask what, but it clicked.

>Frowning, you give him a bit.

>”Thank you, kind sir!”

>He galloped off.

>Looking at the paper, it looks like Dash is yesterday’s news.

>...

>This won’t end will.

>You can feel it in your gut something is going wrong.

>Apparently some strange hero, Mare Do Well, has been upstaging Dash.

>Walking into town, you spot Applejack along the way on the road.

”Sup Applejack.”

>You join her side as you walk down the road.

>”Howdy, anon. Wanna go to the Sugar Cube Corner with me? I’m meeting some of the girls there.”

>Sugarcube Corner?

>Well, looking at your schedule it looks like you’re going to have to…

>Who the fuck are you kidding?

“Sure I’d love to.”

-

>”Gotta hand it to the girl, that Mare Do Well sure can pull off some heroic feats.”

>You glance over at Dash, who angrily looks away, trying best to ignore it.

>”That spell she used on the well probably took quite a bit of studying.”

>Dash starts gritting her teeth in anger.

>”She really cares about the safety of the ponies.”

>Dash’s eyes shut in frustration.

>”Have you SEEN her costume? It is to DIE for! If you ask me, she is a hero of fashion!”

>”AND she’s modest, AND humble. she lets her actions speak for themselves. You have to admire that.”

>You REALLY don’t like how this affecting her.

>Before you could offer your input, Dash cuts you off.

>”No! I DON’T have to admire that! I don’t think she’s all that great!” Dash snapped angrily as she stood.

>”She’s great.” Spike wrote down, smirking.

>”I DIDN’T say that…”

>”Sounds like somepony is jealous.”

>This was starting to get deeper under her skin.

>Something about this was actually kind of bothering you.

>”Rainbow Dash is jealous.”

>”DON’T WRITE THAT, SPIKE!”

>The girls started laughing at Dash, leaving her mouth agape in disbelief.

>”Correction: Rainbow Dash is REALLY jealous.”

>”FINE! laugh all you want, but I’ll be the one laughing when I prove I’m just as good, no that I’m BETTER a hero than Mare Do Well!”

>Before you could interject, she flew off, leaving you and the rest of the girls behind.

>”You think it’s working?” Applejack grinned.

“Working? What do you mean?”

>”You mean you don’t know, Darling?”

“Don’t know? don’t know what?”

>The girls around the room exchanged glances and then chuckled.

>”We are all Mare Do Well. All of us take turns wearing the costume, it is how we did all the stuff with flying and magic.”

>Your eyes widen slightly, but then you quickly gain your composure.

>To be honest, it is not really surprising.

>Especially considering the fact you have fucking saved the world with ponies.

>But still, it is slightly shocking.

>Especially shocking seeing the affect that they are having on Dash’s self-esteem and they don’t even care.

“Well that is… not that big of a surprise, but I must ask, why?”

>”Well we’re trying to teach her that a real hero doesn’t brag and boast about her accomplishments is all.” Twilight takes a bite of her cupcake.

>...

>So wait…

>Dash’s friends are fucking with her mentally to teach her a lesson- wait no you’re getting ahead of yourself.

“Hey girls…”

>They all turn to face you.

>”Yes anon, what is it?”

“Girls I’m just throwing this out there…”

>You begin.

“It might be kind of a strange suggestion, I’m really going out on a limb here but…”

>You can’t help but chuckle.

“Have you tried TALKING TO HER UPFRONT about it?”

>The room falls silent, answering your question.

“I know you all mean well, but fucking with Dash’s self-esteem is not a good way to teach her a lesson, especially when you, her friends, are sitting here spitting all over her confidence. I’m not sure if any of you have noticed, but Dash needs validation in order to actually HAVE self-esteem, and you doing this is just fucking with her in more ways than just hurting her pride and laughing at her just makes things worse.”

>Before anyone could answer, you storm off.

>You had to find Dash and set this fucking shit straight since obviously they won’t.

>This is fucking ridiculous.

>You can’t help but feel some sympathy for Dash.

>True, you didn’t know each other very well, and sometimes her ego gets the better of her and she seems kind of selfish at times, but she does not deserve this.

>It’s kind of a shock that her friends didn’t even see any of this before you pointed it out to them just now.

>But enough about that, you could go and lecture them in true jerk-off fashion later.

-

>Dash sighed, shutting her eyes and resting her head on the soft cushiony feel of the cloud.

>This usually relaxed her when she was feeling down, but it only made her feel more isolated.

>”How could everypony forget about me so easily? I mean... have I changed? Same sleek body. Same flowing mane. Same spectacular hooves. Nope, I'm still awesome. They're wrong. But... then... why am I all alone?”

“Rainbow Dash?”

>You call up to her.

>Dash peaks her head over the cloud and then frowns.

>”What do you want, anon? Shouldn’t you be bowing down to Mare Do Well like everypony else?”

>Jesus, she must be really down in the dumps.

“Dash, come down here for a minute, I need to talk to you.” You call up, but to no avail.

>She stubbornly pouts and crosses her arms, leaning back into the cloud.

>”Let me just sulk in private.”

>It never exactly occurred to you what you were going to say.

“Dash?”

>No response.

“...Rainbow?”

>Still no response.

“Das-”

>”SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!”

>She swooped down at you, and then plows into you, pinning you to the ground.

>YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE, ANON!”

>She yells into your ears.

>”YOU DON’T KNOW…”

>Are those… tears?

>She buries her head into your chest, falling on top of you.

>What the Hell?

“Dash are you okay?”

>”Yeah anon, I am doing SO great.” she replied sarcastically.

>Okay pretty fucking stupid thing to ask, but you aren’t sure what to say.

“I don’t know what WHAT is like?”

>She starts sobbing.

>”It was back in Flight School… Fluttershy and I were bullied all the time, they made me feel like I was dirt… Until I found out how I could show them I was better…”

>Her sobbing starts turning to full out crying.

>”I wanted to be the best… So I could show them all… When people like what I do, it makes me feel like… Feel like I actually am a good pony… That I’m not useless…”

>This is a side of Dash you hadn’t really seen before.

>Nothing compared to the way she was back at Cloudsdale.

“Dash…”

>You gently lift her head up by her chin so she is looking you in the eyes.

>Of course, she tries to look away, but you hold her there.

“Listen to me, Dash…”

>You wipe away a tear from her face.

“You ARE the best… You don’t need any ponies to make you believe that… You AREN’T useless… You are the most amazing pony I’ve seen. Don’t let some assholes make you think differently… It doesn’t matter what those douchebags think, it matters what you think.”

>The tears have stopped and she looks around, thinking about what you said.

“You are the best flier I’ve seen.” You continue. “You did a Sonic Rainboom for Celestia’s sake! Why would you need their validation to believe in yourself?”

>A small smile spreads across her face.

>”Anon…”

>She hugs you.

>”Thanks…”

>For what feels like hours, you both stay there, hugging each other.

>”Do you really mean it, anon?” she talks in a low, hushed voice. “do you really think I’m the best?”

>Without thinking, you impulsively pull her into a soft kiss.

>She immediately returns it.

>It’s a quick kiss, lasting only about 40 seconds but it gets the message across.

“The best.”
