Adorabella: A new life awaits

Putting It Behind

Note:

Sorry for the lack of updates to this story for a while. I was focused on my other stories, and when I was about to begin work on this story, I had a massive writer's block moment. But I'm back, and I hope you enioy this chapter.

(Sunday)

Adorabella and Ralph had finished eating sweet walnuts, and they had thrown away the now empty bag that they shared. They are sitting on the bench they normally sit on when they regularly get snacks from Sugarcube Corner.

"Ralph... I've been thinking..." Adorabella slowly spome as her voice trembled. Ralph also trembles, what if this is the 'big' question that Adorabella is about to ask?

"I need to speak to Velvet..." Adorabella said all in quick succession, then sighs. Ralph relaxes as it is not the 'big' question, while about to respond.

"Velvet? Who is she again?" Ralph asked.

"R- remember th- the pony I threw that broken r- rock at?" Adorabella reminded Ralph.

"Oh! Her- right- yes, now I remember," Ralph nodded. He now remembers about the former bully.

"But... didn't she bully you?" Ralph double checked. Adorabella nods.

"Yeah... but I need to talk to her- I just can't stop thinking about it- ugh!" Adorabella groaned as she pulls at her mane with both forehooves.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Ralph gently asked.

"I'm also sure Rainbow won't mind backing you up as well," Ralph added. He didn't want to stop Adorabella pulling her own mane, because he knew she was having a moment and trying to stop her would make her freak out.

"I don't know..." Adorabella mumbled as she slowly stops pulling at her mane.

"If you don't want me to come, that's okay. If you want me to come, that's also okay," Ralph reassured.

"I don't know... I don't know..." Adorabella mumbled, and she becomes less clearer as she speaks. Ralph knew his time with her is running out. Adorabella is running out of steam to talk, and that is usually a sign that she wants to go.

"Are you alright?" Ralph asked.

"I just... I just don't know... I- I- I..." Adorabella stammered as she loses her words. She knows what she means, but she can't get it out.

"Wanna head back to Rainbow's with me?" Ralph offered. Adorabella shakes her head. She likes to go back alone today, so she can think of what would happen if this goes wrong.

"Alright, cya," Ralph nodded while waving, as Adorabella waves and flies off while leaving a pink trail behind her.

After Adorabella had come back, she headed to the living room. She then gets on the sofa which is by the window, and lays on her stomach. She is still thinking how or what to even say. How would she even be able to speak to one of the ponies who used to bully her?

"Heya, how's things developing with Ralph?" Adorabella hears Rainbow Dash's voice. Adorabella turns her head right to face Rainbow Dash, who walks into the living room.

"Yeah, it's g- going okay," Adorabella mumbled slightly.

"Is something wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked, sounding protective. She is worried that Ralph did something.

"Y- you r- remember Vel... V- Velvet... one of the b- bullies th- that I saw a- a while ago?" Adorabella checked, stuttering her words out.

"Uh huh..." Rainbow Dash slowly nodded. She relaxes at that the issue at least isn't Ralph. Rainbow Dash likes Ralph.
