//------------------------------// // Wish // Story: Out of Equestria // by yoshiXII //------------------------------// Rainbow and Fluttershy made their way into the square where the soldiers were gathered. Twilight was already there, waiting for them. As they made their way to her, Celestia came up behind them. “Dismissed,” she said simply to the soldiers, and they all dispersed. Celestia trotted up next to the three and fixed them with a royal Canterlot glare. “You three are not allowed to talk about what happened on the island outside your circle of friends. Stay silent, remain in Equestria, and don’t dream about what lies beyond our boundaries. Only barbaric lands will await you and other ponies that are foolish enough to venture off.” She fixed a hard stare at Rainbow in particular. When all of the soldiers had vanished, Fluttershy and Rainbow peered at the other side of the square to see the rest of their friends: Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. Their friends charged at them and tackled them into a fierce hug. They all fell to the ground, laughing to a point where tears were in their eyes. Pulling apart, Applejack asked, “What happened? Ah was worried as ter where y’all were.” Together, Twilight, Rainbow, and Fluttershy relayed their entire journey starting from when Twilight performed the experiment on them. First, Rainbow and Fluttershy told them where they ended up and their adventures from there and stopped at where the portal had appeared which was where Twilight told her side of the story. Their three friends would nod, gasp, or (in Rarity’s case) faint from the sheer magnitude of possibilities they drew from their story. When they were finally finished, there was an awkward silence while Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack stared in wonder at all of the adventures that they had gone through. The sun at this point was now setting and its red glares darted across Equestria. “You know what this calls for?” Pinkie broke in, oblivious to the silence, “A party! This will be an ‘our-friends-have-returned-from-an-evil-island’ party. It’ll be great! I’ll go get everypony to come,” Pinkie giggled. The other five friends nervously exchanged glances, as if they knew something important that Pinkie didn’t. “Actually,” Rainbow admitted, “I think we should relax a little first. After all, it was quite the journey and I think we could all have a break to check if we are still alive.” The other four sighed in relief, exclaiming how they thought that would be a great idea. Pinkie looked a little disappointed for a split second, before reverting back to her energetic state. Rarity and Applejack kept staring at Rainbow and Fluttershy, wondering if they had changed in any way. They noticed Rainbow and Fluttershy looked frazzled after their adventures. Exchanging glances, Applejack nodded at Rarity. “Well,” Rarity began, faking a yawn, “It was quite a tale. I’m sure you two are tired beyond belief now. I personally have to go back to the boutique and make sure Sweetie Belle hasn’t destroyed anything. I’m sure we can talk about this in more depth when you two are more awake.” “Yeah,” Rainbow said, actually yawning, “I miss my bed. See you guys tomorrow.” The six said their goodbyes and parted. Twilight headed off towards her library to write up a letter to Princess Celestia about friendship. Applejack to Sweet Apple Acres, Rarity to her boutique, and Pinkie to Sugarcube Corner. Fluttershy returned to her cottage. All of her animals surrounded her, clinging onto her legs while making delightful noises. She noticed with relief that Twilight had actually fed all of them according to their regular diet. Ignoring her pets for now, Fluttershy yawned as she crept sleepily up the stairs. Slinking in her room, she collapsed onto her bed and fell asleep before she even hit her blankets. Creak. Fluttershy bolted upright as she heard the door being opened. Images of native ponies, the chief, and Celestia flooded her groggy mind as she stayed petrified sitting there, wanting to go investigate the source of the noise. “W-w-who’s t-there?” Fluttershy tried to say assertively. “Shhh,” the pony whispered as she rested a hoof on Fluttershy’s mouth. “R-rainbow? You startled me.” Fluttershy exclaimed in relief. Rainbow smiled smugly as she lifted up the layers of the blankets to expose Fluttershy’s yellow body. Fluttershy emitted a small meep as Rainbow jumped in with her, squeezing into her body. Fluttershy turned toward her, gazing mystically into Rainbow’s eyes before she was met with a pair of lips. The kiss was tender, yet passionate. After experiencing it just once, it was enough to fill Fluttershy with lust for more. It let her escape into a state of complete bliss with all her worries and troubles vanishing. She loosened up for once after the tense state she was put through when on the island. Fluttershy reached up with a hoof and stroked her rainbow-mane with all its thin and scruffy fibers of hair. With Fluttershy’s other hoof, she held Rainbow’s face, caressing it. For Rainbow, the kiss was magical, even for a speedster like her who didn’t like mushy romantic situations. She brought her forelegs and hind legs around the creamy, yellow pony’s body and drew them closer together until they were so close that fibers of hair, yellow and blue, were squeezed together. A deep moan gurgled out of the depths of her mouth, only to be blocked by the tightly locked lips. After what seemed like an eternity, they broke the kiss and pulled apart, though still remaining close enough to gaze upon each other’s eyes in serenity. Both their eyes glimmered and a smile brightened up their face. Fluttershy nuzzled Rainbow gently at her neck, until Fluttershy laid her head there. Rainbow gazed down at her and rested her chin on top of Fluttershy’s forehead. Together, they lay in peace for a while. Fluttershy glanced up. “Do you think we should tell our friends about this?” Rainbow smirked. “Nah, they would just make fun of us.” Fluttershy sighed as she closed her eyes. “Should we have told them about the story of Equestria the chief told us?” Thinking thoughtfully for a minute, Rainbow brought a hoof up to her chin. “They wouldn’t believe us.” She gazed at the walls of the bedroom, as though she could see through them. “Anyways, we still have to find more about lands outside Equestria. Think of the adventures, close calls, exciting lands, and new ponies we can find.” Fluttershy shook a little in horror. Then, looking up, she was reassured by her overconfident marefriend. “As long as you’re with me.” Rainbow kept staring at the wall, imagining the adventures and lands that they would find. ‘If Equestria is already this big,’ she thought, ‘Then, I wonder what we’ll find. More stories and more revelation.’ She sighed. After all, they could always go out of Equestria.
