//------------------------------// // Catching up // Story: Adventures of love // by Woogabear //------------------------------// It was that day again, the weekly get together with all six of the elements of harmony. Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were all sitting on a grassy hill side looking over Ponyville. It was a gorgeous sunny day the Pegasus did a wonderful job clearing out the clouds, mostly on Rainbow Dash's part. Pinkie had brought cupcakes from sugar cube corner and Twilight had brought the sandwiches. "It really is a marvelous day, don't you think girls." They all nodded in agreement to Rarity's remark. "Wow Twilight these sandwiches are super duper call me crazy good!" "Thanks Pinkie it's my moms recipe, she used to make them when I was little." Twilight said smiling. Fluttershy looked anxious and fidgety. She was always moving around in her spot or tapping her hoof. "Are you alright Fluttershy?" Asked Pinkie "Your more jumpy than me." "I'm fine." Whispered Fluttershy. "You can tell us Fluttershy were your friends." Said Rainbow Dash "I just really need to get back to my cottage." She said weekly but with more force. "And why is that." Asked Applejack "I'm taking care of something sick." "Ohh it's a mystery animal okay let me guess is it a rabbit." "No" "Is it a bear?" "No" "Is it a deer." "No" "Oh Oh Oh is it a..... I got nothing what is it?" "It's..." Fluttershys sentence got to quiet for everyone to hear. "What was that darling I didn't catch that." "It's...." "What was that sugar cube?" "Oh for crying out loud Fluttershy just tell us." Rainbow Dash said in annoyance. "I'm... I'm taking care of... Soarin'."Rainbow Dash spewed water everywhere making Rarity eep. "What! Why? How..?' Rainbow Dash was flabbergasted. "Well I was walking along the ever free forest and I saw something fall from the sky I went to investigate and it was Soarin' he was badly injured so I took him to my cottage and he has been there ever since." "How long ago did this happen?" Asked Twilight. "Last night." "He stayed the night!"Fluttershy hid in the back of her mane getting embarrassed from the attention. Rarity being the romance guru asked "Did you do anything... anything naughty." Fluttershy popped her head out of her mane. "Oh no I just took care of his wounds nothing else." "Did you want to do anything?" Asked Rainbow. Fluttershy blushed so red she looked like a red and yellow tomato. "Oh leave the poor girl alone guy's." Applejack said defensively. "Fine fine..." The mares dropped the subject. They continued to chit chat in the gorgeous sunny day. Rainbow Dash looked up in the cloudless sky as if expecting something or someone. "Want to get a good fly in Rainbow." Questioned Twilight. Rainbow was snapped out of her revere. "What huh oh no it's nothing." "Come on Rainbow you can tell us." Said Twilight. "I've been seeing someone." Said Rainbow bluntly "WHO?" Said everyone simultaneously. "Fire Streak." "You mean the wonderbolt?" "Yep." Rainbow Dash said coolly. "How long have you been going out?" Rainbow Dash started eating her cupcake coincidently being two different shades of orange. "3 weeks." "Why didn't you tell us at tee in the boutique." "I didn't think it was anything at the time." "Well how is it going." "Um well I recently got him in the hospital but other than that it's great." "Wow Dashie you like it rough." Said Pinkie teasingly "Oh shut up that's not how he got in the hospital, did you guys see a big ring of fire cover Ponyville?" "That was you? Opal nearly had a heart attack when that happened." Rarity said. "Yeah sorry I was teaching Fire Streak how to pull off a sonic fire boom the first time it landed him in the hospital but he pulled it off." It was getting to mid afternoon and everyone has had their fill of sandwiches and cupcakes but now that everyone was to engrossed in the conversation that nobody wanted it to end. Everypony was sprawled on the blanket and relaxing. Twilight spoke. "So while were on the subject of relationships does anyone else have anything to share?" Applejack looked over at Twilight with a smirk. "What about you Twilight since you're so eager to keep on the subject of romance." "I'm an open book. Me and Flash are doing great we just met each others parents and it went great even Shining is okay with it." Twilight said happily. "Is everything alright in the bedroom department." Asked Rarity enticingly. Now twilight did blush. "Uh... yes everything is fine.... great actually." Rarity looked content and laid down. "Hey what about Pinkie." Asked Rainbow Dash. Pinkie for once in her life was very quite burrowing into the blanket. "Oh nothings really been going on Mrs. and Mr. Cake are gone, so I asked Lucky clover to help me with the shop while I watch the twins. Oh yeah we also got robbed." Twilight looked Alarmed " Pinkie what do you mean." "Yeah some guys came in and took all the sweets in the shop but they left." Pinkie said nonchalantly "Wow I'm glad your okay." Twilight said "So you and Lucky huh?" "Oh well yeah..." Pinkie got quitter. "I like him mostly because he's handsome, strong, brave, funny, nice, good with kids, and a great cook. you know he's alright." "All right? All right! He sounds amazing Pinkie you should not let him go maybe you can introduce us to him some time." "Hmmm or maybe I should throw a PARTY!!!" They all laughed at Pinkies enthusiasm. Everyone of the ponies looked at Applejack still laughing unaware of what they were all staring at her. Once she settled down she noticed the array of colored eye's on her. "What?" "Oh come on Applejack we all know that you have been acting differently lately." Twilight said knowingly. "What? Name one instance I have been acting differently." "Oh please Applejack when I passed your cart the other day in town you were humming, leaning on the cart and staring in the distance. You also seemed very anxious to get home." "Oh that's not a real reason!" "It is perfectly legitimate, Applejack." "Okay well we got a new employee to help on the farm." Rarity raised her brow. "Looks?" Applejack blushed slightly picturing the handsome white stallion working hard in the field. " Oh well he has a perfect white coat, with a clean good smelling grey perfectly styled mane, He has a perfect white horn with dazzling green magic that matches his eyes, and his toned muscular body." Rarity looked ready to drool at the description of this stallion. "Well Applejack." Exclaimed Rarity. "You have been holding out on haven't you, well you should bring him over to the boutique for a fitting some time he sounds like he would be an excellent model." "Eh I don't know about that Rarity maybe." Twilight spoke up. "What about you Rarity? Is there a special Stallion in your life?" Rarity expecting this replied. "In fact Twilight I am in a courtship with someone as of now." "Who is it?" Fluttershy whispered. "Thunderlane." "You're going out with Thunderlane?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes we were about to go on a date a couple day's ago but he got the feather flu so we just for lack of a better term hung out." For the rest of the afternoon and into the evening the mares all chatted and gossiped about each others love lives. They all eventually parted ways all caught up with each others relationships and love interests.
