-Pause For Dramatic Effect
Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rarity were watching through the window. Applejack turned away to give the two pegasus' privacy. Twilight followed, but Pinkie Pie and Rarity's eyes stayed glued to the scene. Rarity's ears twitched, and strained to hear the conversation between her two friends outside. Pinkie's facial expression stayed in the same way. It was like she was frozen. Applejack and Twilight tried to quietly pull the two ponies away from the window. Twilight grabbed Pinkie's fluffy tail with her mouth, and drug her into the kitchen. Applejack put her head on Rarity's buttocks, and pushed her after Twilight.
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash stood in silence. Gazing into each other's eyes. The wind slightly blew through each pegasus' manes, and Rainbow got a tiny whiff of Fluttershy's sweet scent. She was breathing heavily, and her stomach was starting to feel light. Her mouth was open as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. Her eyes were small, and beady. Sweat dripped down her forehead. The cyan pegasus rearranged her hoofing, and stepped forward.
"You....you were afraid?"
Fluttershy stepped forward as well, and nodded her head timidly.
The two ponies were so close, but to Fluttershy, they felt so far away. She had done and blew it. Her chances with Rainbow Dash were completely cut. There was no chance. No chance at all. She could see in Rainbow's eyes all the pain she had caused her. If only she wasn't so scared all the time. If only she would have stood her ground, and excepted the wonderful offer Rainbow gave her. If only. Oh, if only.
Fluttershy's eyes traveled to the ground. She kicked at the dirt a little, and her heart started to sink. She herself had broken her own heart. She thought such a thing could not be possible, but now she knew it was. Her head ached, her eyes hurt, and her heart was soar. Fluttershy had never felt these feelings before. Everything was so foreign to her. And it all happened because of lies.
Her head still down, Fluttershy started to cry. The tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the dirt. She squeaked a few times in the process of this, which made her want to cry even more.
'You're such a bad pony, Fluttershy. You're awful. Just so awful!'
The cyan pegasus could not take the pain anymore. She moved her hoofs towards Fluttershy, who was still crying. She lifted the crying face of the one she loved the most in all of the world. Her eyes closed, she moved towards Fluttershy closer...closer. Her muzzle finally met Fluttershy's. At first she just laid her's on Fluttershy's, but then their lips interlocked.
Eyes opening, Fluttershy stared in complete shock.
Rainbow, in front of her was now kissing her. Her mind was confused, her heart pounded, but Fluttershy didn't stop her. She was...enjoying it. She slowly let her eyes drop, and with this she passionately got involved with the kiss. The two pegasus' stayed like that for what seemed forever. They were both in complete bliss. Holding their most loved pony that closely, and kissing them was too wonderful. They both never wanted to let go. They never wanted to let go...
The yellow ponies leg twitched. Her wings started to flutter. She groaned and squeezed her eyes tightly, and released them.
Fluttershy opened her eyes to see she was still in the forest. Trees over her head. She had fallen asleep.
'Was it all just.....just a dream? I never....I never kissed....'
Fluttershy started to feel sick. Even her dreams were taunting her. She couldn't believe her mind would play such a terrible trick on her like that. She actually thought....that it was real. She thought that Rainbow Dash accepted her apology. She thought that Rainbow Dash....kissed her.
Fluttershy found her way to stand up. Her legs were shaky at first, but she didn't care. She had to go see Rainbow now! She had already wasted so much time! She hadn't even known that she had fell asleep. Her mind was fuzzy, but she shook all her thoughts out. She didn't want to think, she just had to do! Before it was too late. Before Rainbow decided to never speak to her again. She started off in a trot, which turned quickly into a run. A run like no other. Her legs were moving as fast as they could take her. Her motivation was high and she was determined to get to Rainbow Dash as soon as she could.
She stumbled over an uprooted branch, and fell. She immediately brushed herself off, and took off at full speed once again. Her hoof was soar, and a slight red stream ran down from her knee. The pain wasn't unbearable so Fluttershy ignored it. She didn't have the time to cry. She didn't have the time to rest. She didn't have the time for anything. A clock was ticking in her mind. Tick...tock...tick...tock...
Fluttershy felt as if she was losing it. The sound within her head was driving her insane. She felt her brain pulsing quickly. The faster she moved the more it hurt. But she didn't care. At this point she cared about nothing but Rainbow Dash. She didn't even care for own well being. Rainbow Dash was the only thing concerning her. The only thing she cared for.
The pegasus finally made it into town. She didn't stop her running though. She moved swiftly and contently. She was sure that Rainbow was nearby now. She could almost sense the presence of her. Confidence was building up in her. She felt it. She was sure that she was close. She knew it. She could feel it.
Fluttershy ran into Rarity's boutique first. She ran through all the rooms. It was left just like it was when Fluttershy had went looking in the forest. When Fluttershy told Rarity....
She sped out of the shop. Not forgetting to close the door before she ran away. She burst into Sugar Cube corner next. She slammed the door open. When she entered, her face looked insane. She turned and saw Mr and Mrs Cake were standing at the counter. They smiled oddly at Fluttershy in confusion.
"Oh...Hi...I'm sorry....I didn't know...forgive me..."
Fluttershy, without a response from the Cakes, ran out. Any other time and she would had been embarrassed, but at a time like this...embarrassment was the last of her worries.
She jolted quickly to Twilight's library. She opened the door quickly. Spike was on a ladder putting some books on the highest part of the shelves. He turned around at the sudden sound of the door opening. The ladder started to shake at his sudden movement.
"Whooooaaaa!" Spike caught his balance, and the ladder leaned back against the shelves.
"Fluttershy? What...what's wrong?" Spike started his way down the stairs. His little dragon legs trying to reach each step.
"Do you know where Twilight is? Rarity? Applejack? Pinkie Pie? Anypony?" Fluttershy's voice was cracking. She forgot to mention Rainbow Dash. But she didn't add her in.
Spike scratched his head. He was trying to make since of Fluttershy's quickly asked question. He blinked a few times, mouth agate, and then continued.
"Uh...I'm not sure. I think Twilight said something about going to Sweet Apple Acres with everypony. Weren't....you invited, Fluttershy?"
Spike was shocked to see that Fluttershy, the most sweetest pony, was left out of the other ponies fun. This was because, of course, he didn't know anything that was going on. He quickly regretted his question though when he realized the look on Fluttershy's face.
"No...well....I was sleeping. I'm sure they didn't want to bother me. I wasn't feeling too well earlier, but I'm feeling much better now. So I was just wondering where they went off to so I could catch up."
Fluttershy's tone of voice wasn't convincing Spike, but he just went along with what she said.
"Okay, Fluttershy. I'm sure they will be happy to see you are feeling well now!"
And with that, Fluttershy left Spike in the library. She headed on her way to Sweet Apple Acres. Hoping that Rainbow Dash was really there. Her legs were starting to feel weak again, but Fluttershy was not going to stop now. She was so close. This time she was sure that she was heading in the right direction.
Rainbow was definitely at Sweet Apple Acres. Fluttershy could feel it.
Closer and closer, Fluttershy got to Applejack's farm. Her hoofs were carrying her at a fast speed once again. Her soft, pink mane and tail were flowing in the wind. The sound of her galloping rung in her ears. She almost tripped over a stone, but she leaped over it with grace and diligence.
The soft spoken pony seemed to be turning into a newer, less timid Fluttershy. Fluttershy took note of this in her mind. She thought it to be a good thing.
Fluttershy's heart was beating to the sound of her hoofs hitting the ground. The rythm played itself in her mind as she approached the apple orchard.
There she saw her. Fluttershy could see the cyan pegasus' rainbow colored mane overhead. She felt her heart skip a beat. A smile started to form across her distraut, yellow face. She could feel the happiness start to spread throughout her entire body.
She sped up. Adrenaline kicked in. The small pony drug her tired hoofs over to the one she loves. She was panting, but she had no more time to waste.
"RAINBOW!"
Her voice carried through the entire orchard. The unexpected loud sound made Rainbow turn around quickly, and she almost fell over. Her wings twitched at the edges as she saw Fluttershy run towards her and call out her name.
The usually shy pegasus seemed as if she had more confidence. This was because she did. Fluttershy built up strength within herself for Rainbow Dash. She did everything for Rainbow Dash. And it was all worth it.
"Rainbow! Rainbow!" The pegasus still running, finally met at Rainbow's hoofs. Fluttershy got down on her hind quarters and hugged Rainbow's legs. Hot tears from her eyes were now trickling on Rainbow.
"Flutt...Fluttershy...what are you doing here?"
Rainbow could feel the warmth of Fluttershy against her own skin. Her cheeks turned red from the feeling.
"Rainbow....." The crying pegasus got up from her embrace.
Rainbow lifted her hoof. She pulled it forward towards Fluttershy's face, but skittishly jerked it away when Fluttershy moved her head down. But Rainbow wasn't going to stop now. Fluttershy was standing in front of her, crying. She wasn't going to be a wuss now. She lifted her hoof back up to Fluttershy, and stroked her tear stained cheek. Rainbow could feel the softness of Fluttershy. She loved it.
"Rainbow..." Fluttershy started again.
Rainbow Dash looked down into Fluttershy's amazing eyes. They glistened in the sunshine, and Rainbow could see her reflection.
"Yeah...Fluttershy?"
Rainbow felt as if she was the timid one now. It was like Rainbow and Fluttershy switched places. But she wasn't going to let that be known.
"I want you...Rainbow I need you!"
Rainbow put her hoof down on the grass. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Twilight were once again walking away. They still stayed within hearing range though.
The blue and rainbow pegasus shuffled under her hoofs. Her mind was racing.
'She wants me? But I thought....I thought....'
Fluttershy's voice was saying the truth. Rainbow could tell. She sounded sincere. Honest.
Rainbow didn't know what to say. She just stared back at Fluttershy. Rainbow looked at her in awe.
Suddenly the yellow pegasus turned around. She started to walk away. Away from Rainbow Dash. Out of reach. Soon she would be out of sight. But Rainbow knew she wouldn't be out of mind.
Rainbow called out:
"Wait!"
Fluttershy stopped in her tracks. She slightly turned her head in Rainbow's direction. Her eyes hit Rainbow's heart with sorrow, and regret. She knew that Fluttershy was hurting. Fluttershy was hurting really bad. And Rainbow was not going to let that happen to the only pony she will ever love.
"Don't leave me Fluttershy....don't leave me again...."
Fluttershy turned her hoofs back around where she was facing Rainbow fully.
Her head was still down low, and Rainbow knew she probably had said the wrong thing.
"I mean...Fluttershy...what I mean is...I don't want to lose you again....I can't bare thinking of losing you..."
Fluttershy's head lifted slightly, and her ears twitched.
She wanted to tell Rainbow that she would never leave her. She wanted to assure Rainbow that she would always be there. But no words could be made from her lips.
Rainbow noticed that Fluttershy was going to stay silent. She thought of something else to say.
"Fluttershy....I love you."
