"Someone has a secret admirer" Shadow Bolt teased as his younger brother Shadow Fire, arrived on the cloud. "I don't care Bolt" Shadow Fire said as he rolled his eyes, Shadow Bolt loved to tease Fire. "Oh come now, I know you care" Bolt said. The two colts were sitting on a cloud high in the sky, it was something they often did together. "Nope, Never have never will" Fire said. "You mean to tell me you've never had a crush on a filly before?" Bolt asked, he knew the answer. "Nope" Fire said as he arranged a small part of the cloud into a bed like form and he laid down on it exhausted from the flight up to the cloud. Bolt just chucked to himself, he knew Fire was a good flier, but he was still just a young colt and tired easy. "You've never been nervous around a filly before? butterflies in your stomach, getting all sweaty, unable to grip things in your hooves or wings?" Bolt said, he knew he had Fire with that one. "Well..." Fire trailed off, he was thinking of the other day when he talked to Sweetie Belle. "There was this one filly, but....I don't think-" Fire was cut off "Aww, little Fire has his first crush" Bolt teased. "Shut Up Bolt!" Fire snapped in response. "Oh relax, I am just teasing, so who is the lucky little filly?" Bolt said. "I don't want to talk about it" He said, Bolt let out a sigh as he heard this, he really wanted to know. "Oh come on, I'll tell you who your secret admirer is if you tell me who you have a crush on." Bolt said, he was trying desperately to get his little brother to tell him who he liked, even though he already knew the answer. "Well..." Fire paused he was unsure about telling his brother, he knew Bolt would not tell anyone but he would surely get teased to no end. "She, Swee...." Fire trailed off, much like Fluttershy would. "Who?" Bolt said, now he was getting irritated. "Sweetie Belle" Fire said, he buried his face into the cloud to hide his blushing face. "Oh, well I have a sneaking suspicion that she might like you to" Bolt said Fire's head immediately popped out of the clouds and he glared at his brother. "Don't joke about that kind of thing, I know its not true, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom said it was a lie" Fire said. "Oh, it wasn't that, no, a little, 'magic' told me" He said. - Two Days Earlier. "Honestly I don't know what to do anymore, she is letting her crush control her life" Rarity said, sipping her tea. "Well your lucky you talk to your sister, my little brother doesn't talk to me about such things" Bolt said, he looked down at the table. "Its really nice to see you again, its been so long" "Bolt, darling, it has only been three days since I have last seen you." Rarity said "I know, but I can't take a day without seeing my mare friend." He said 'And you though Sweetie was the only one getting romance in this story?' Pinkie Pie thought breaking all logic and undoubtedly having several scientists keel over from this thought. Rarity nuzzled Bolt, they had been dating for two weeks now, though Rarity would not have Sweetie know about it. "So who does your sister have a crush on?" Bolt asked "Your brother" Rarity replied. "Little Fire?" Bolt said, he started to smile, the idea of his brother dating was amusing to him, because he already knew Fire liked Sweetie, he was a terrible liar. "Yes" Rarity said "Well Fire likes Sweetie, but neither of them would let the other know." Bolt said "I'll suggest Sweetie asks Fire to the dance, you should do the same." Rarity said "You know Fire, there is the Summer Sun Celebration Dance at your school, you should ask Sweetie to go with you" Bolt said "I don't know" Fire said "You'll never know if you don't try" Bolt said. And with that response, Fire got up and started flying to the Boutique, unaware that he was about to do something that would change the next few days of his life for the better, or the worse.
