Fail Filtered from Applejack and Fluttershy (very readable)

what do you do when two of your friends are really close and you don't like it?

i mean really close

it's weird and makes me uncomfortable around them and |

[There's a pause before she continues. Dash is not one to usually ask for advice.]

they're my friends so i shouldn't be this way

not here, but -

[Fluttershy has seen the message, and it breaks her heart. First Rarity, and now Rainbow Dash too? She doesn't answer, and tries to pretend she never saw it, but she winds up staying in her room all day.]

[nimbust]

[Awww, Fluttershy. Dash feels really bad about it, she's just... surprised still. Never expected her friends to develop feelings for each other.

Dash might... check on her later, but she doesn't want to do it until she's sorted this all out first. Fluttershy's so timid and sensitive, after all.]

[voice]

[partyofwin]

I know that-

[Pinkie pauses. She sounds fairly chipper, though understanding.]

I know that it's hard to think about this, Dashie. But they're happy! And we all should be happy that they're happy, and happy that they've found something like this with each other! Fluttershy and Applejack getting together doesn't change anything, Dashie, it really doesn't change a thing at all! Us girls, we're all still friends and we always will be, it's just that now sometimes Fluttershy and Applejack make kissy faces at each other!

[voice]

[nimbust]

[Aww, Pinkie. Those are all good points. Dash is just... a doof, really.]

I know, it's just... it happened outta the blue, and it's gonna take some getting used to. I don't want to feel this way about it because it's not gonna stop me from being their friend.

But it's hard not to notice it.

[voice]

[partyofwin]

[Dash can't see it, but Pinkie's nodding. It makes sense, even if she doesn't really feel that way. It doesn't mean RD - and Rarity as well - aren't allowed to feel like this. It was pretty sudden.]

I know, Dashie, I know. What you need is something to turn that frown upside-down! You need a good distraction!

[voice]

[nimbust]

A distraction would be good. That's what I've been trying to find.

[text]

[usedsuitup]

How close are we talking? Like, really clingy couples making out in front of you close?

[Because Barney can kind of relate to the whole friends in relationships breaking up group dynamics thing. It's a constant fear of his.]

[text]

[nimbust]

it's not that bad but it's still weird

[text]

[usedsuitup]

I sort of know the feeling. Relationships suck.

[text]

[nimbust]

i know i'm never gonna have one it'd just slow me down

[text]

[regal_azure]

I can imagine how that would be awkward. Just remember that they're still your friends, no matter how they feel for each other.

[text]

[nimbust]

yeah I know but |

i've just never had to deal with this kinda thing before so it's a lot to take in

[text]

[regal_azure]

That's understandable. I think it will get easier with time, though.

[text]

[nimbust]

yeah but how long will that take? right now it's not easy
