Flitter alighted on a cloud about half way to Sweet Apple Acres, looking back at Rainbow Dash who curiously landed next to her. "Yeah...?" Rainbow Dash wasn't sure what this was about but seeing what they had just gone through she wasn't sure she wanted to hear what Flitter had to say, but taking Flitter's little outbursts was what she'd signed up for when she had pursued Flitter. And overall the adorable mare was well worth the work her outbursts entailed.
Flitter pouted at her marefriend, this giving Rainbow Dash all the warning she needed to send up red flags that Flitter was about to ask for something Rainbow Dash didn't want to do. "Can we go spend the weekend at home Dash...?"
Rainbow Dash was a bit non-plussed, not having had expected that request, she shook her head. "What? No, we have... Oh." It took Rainbow Dash a few moments but she realized why Flitter wanted to go home. She felt a bit slow after not catching it immediately, but the lack of obvious or explosive emotions had thrown her. She walked over and draped a wing over Flitter, snuggling her close to her. "Flitter, she'll be fine." Flitter whined but nuzzled up into her marefriend, the two had gotten close over the past month. Rainbow Dash hadn't expected to be wading so quickly into deep waters but Flitter's cold outside opened up to quite a tumultuous inside when she got close to someone. Rainbow Dash guessed only she and Cloud Chaser had ever seen it.
"I... Hope so. But I wanna spend some time at home too... Just... Just in case...?"
Rainbow Dash was now even more utterly confused, how did being at their house help with Cloud Chaser being sick...? "Well... Uh... I mean... Well, I suppose you can go Flitter but I really should go to Coco and Applejack's party."
Flitter blinked and shifted where she was standing. "Oh... I more meant after but if that's an option..."
"It'll mean a lot to them if you come."
Flitter let out a small whine but nodded. "Alright... But after that can we?"
Rainbow Dash puffed her cheeks out a little and sighed. "If you want to stay in all weekend ok. I have something to do for the Wonderbolts Saturday, but that'll only be a few hours, otherwise, I'll stay in with you all weekend."
Flitter tilted her head to the side before snickering and shaking her head, Rainbow Dash was happy to see some genuine amusement in the other mare's eyes, though she was confused by it. "I don't mean stay in all weekend Rainbow Dash. I just meant... I'd like to be in my room for a bit... And visit Cloudy's, I want to spend the weekend at my home Dash."
"Oh! Hah! That makes a lot more sense!" She snickered herself, nodding more confidently. "It'll be a bit more of a fly to get back from the farm but sure thing. I'll need to stop by to get Tank, but I don't think I really need anything for the weekend unless you don't have spare blankets."
Flitter grinned. "We have plenty of blankets. And I can show you around the house! It's super nice! It took sooooooo long to be built!" Flitter grinned and stretched a little. "Really Rainbow Dash. I'm concerned, but I wasn't going to hide inside all weekend!" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at Flitter who stuck her tongue out at her, unwilling to admit that they both knew that she'd done something similar their second week of dating when Cloud Chaser had been in an extended surgery and Flitter was spouting off conspiracies about experiments on her sister.
"I'm glad you'll be at the party though."
"Oh? It's just a party." Flitter grinned weakly. "Or are parties that boring without me?"
"Nah, they're just going to announce their engagement at the party."
"They're what!? They've only been dating a month! How in the... Wait... How do you know this?"
Rainbow Dash chuckled and waved a hand. "I may or may not have seen Applejack buying an engagement necklace." Flitter snickered a little causing Rainbow Dash to look at her curiously. "What? I think they're a cute couple."
"I agree!" Flitter nuzzled up to Rainbow Dash who shrugged, guessing that Flitter just thought of something funny until the whisper. "And where's my engagement necklace?" Came.
Rainbow Dash jumped back like Flitter had burst into flame, where Flitter just grinned at her, looking at her through lidded eyes. "What!?"
Flitter rolled her eyes and dropped her grin. "Ok, calm down Rainbow Dash I was kidding. But I must say that was very flattering."
Rainbow Dash cleared her throat a bit. "Oh... Yeah sorry about that but I just thought you were serious and... Look I really like you but... It's only been a month..."
Flitter giggled and walked back to her marefriend, nuzzling her gently. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry, and I'm not taking it badly. Well, not that badly. It could have been a nicer response but I'd have probably done similar if you asked me to marry you after only a month."
Rainbow Dash huffed a bit, rustling her wings in annoyance but she leaned down, nuzzling in return and leaving a kiss on Flitter's cheek. "Brat."
"Brute."
"Spoiled princess."
"Slowpoke."
"Ow, that one hurt." Rainbow Dash grinned as she pointed towards the apple farm with a wing. "Want me to prove how much faster than you I am?"
Flitter giggled and put her hoof upon her forehead. "Oh no! My bluff has been called! Now you will never take my insults seriously again! However, can I overcome such a handicap!" She grinned as she looked back down. "Well, you do it every day so it can't be that hard."
Rainbow Dash let out a sharp bark of laughter, shaking her head absently. "I mean I learned not to try and win an insult battle with you the first day you moved in, why do I keep trying to compete?"
"Because you don't learn very well."
Rainbow Dash grinned. "Peace Flitter, you already won."
Flitter smiled and bowed slightly. "Thank you, thank you." She looked back to the farm and frowned a little, looking back to Rainbow Dash, reconsidering her offer to let her skip the party.
"Hey, Flitter." Rainbow Dash walked up next to her marefriend and wrapped her wing around the other mare. "Come on now Flitter, you like Coco and Applejack, you'll feel better seeing your friends." Flitter grumbled slightly, Rainbow Dash knew Flitter had some emotional issues and often didn't like to do things when she was feeling down, but she usually enjoyed doing them. "It is up to you Flitter."
Flitter looked back towards the distance away from the farm but then looked back and pushed up slightly, nuzzling against her marefriend. "Okay... I'll try."
