//------------------------------// // Pinkie's lover // Story: Pinkie's lover // by ShimmerShine //------------------------------// "Rainbow??" Pinkie asked "Please tell me what's wrong". The desperation in Pinkies voice broke Rainbow Dash's heart. But, she didn't say a word. "Dashie please! If you don't tell me I can't help you.." Pinkie had been at it for about ten minutes now with no luck. Rainbow had seemed off ever since Pinkie told her that her and Cheese Sand which started dating but, Pinkie couldn't understand why. "Did I do something wrong? Did Dashie not like Cheesy?! Was Dash a filly fooler!? Nah! Rainbow would have told me by now!" Pinkie thought in her head. Still nothing from Rainbow Dash. Just as Pinkie was about to say something, Cheese Sand which walked over to where Pinkie and Dash were at the Ponyville park. "Hello my bouncy little mare friend " he said nuzzling Pinkie. Pinkie didn't even look his direction. Just at Rainbow... "Hey Cheesy" she said finally turning away. Her voice was low as her hair slowly went flat. "Let's go" Cheese Sand which and Pinkie had plans to go to the fair that was being set up that day but, Pinkie didn't feel like the fair anymore. All she wanted to do was sit and think. As they walked Cheese looked at his Mare friend and knew something was wrong. He didn't have to ask. Her head was drooped down and her eyes getting mistier and mistier by the second was no normal thing. He spoke up. "Hey uh... Pinkie?" He asked. She didn't look at him. "Yeah?" She said quietly. Cheese stopped and looked back at Rainbow. Who was still sitting the same way. " I will catch up with you. Meet me at Sugar cube corner in 5 minutes?" He asked hoping she wouldn't ask why. She just nodded. Cheese turned around and trotted toward Dash. Whatever happened had to do with Rainbow Dash and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. "Rainbow Dash?" He said startling the cyan Pegasus. She looked at him with red eyes and a dark expression. "Go away. " she said looking back at her hooves on the ground. Cheese was getting anxious. " No. Not until you tell me what happened with Pinkie. " he said firmly. Rainbow's head shot back and she got up on her hooves. Giving him a stare that could've killed Discord she said coldly; "YOU happened." Rainbow stepped toward him and he stepped back. " YOU asked her out and ruined everything. You came in like a cool guy and took her away!!" She said fighting back tears. " Stay strong" she told herself in her head. She couldn't stay strong though. Not knowing that the love of her life, the person that makes her smile, was just stolen from her. She stops moving forward and ants her haunches back on the ground again, this time facing Cheese. She buried her face in her hooves. "Go away before I make you do it" She said between sobs. Honestly, Cheese was terrified of this Pegasus and did t want to get drop kicked across town by her. So, he left. A couple minutes later he walked into Sugar cube corner to see Pinkie in the kitchen throwing plates and bowls at the wall. He jumped over dodging plates of death and grabbed Pinkie's hooves. She looked angry at him and then stopped. She tried to muster out words but, didn't have the strength. She sat down on her haunches in the middle of the kitchen. Comforted by her colt friend, she cried. No, sobbed. All cheese could think was: it's a good thing the Cakes aren't here and the store is closed today. For a while, they sat as Cheese told her it's ok. He didn't know why she was so angry though. After a while of sitting she looked up at him " I came back because you were taking longer than five minutes" she sniffed " And I..I heard Dashie yelling at you. About stealing me and.... And.." She looked down at the floor clenching her teeth.. Her flat hair stuck to her face from crying for so long. Cheese stroked her mane and put his chin on her head as she layer her head on his chest. " I don't know what to do..." She said " I can't tell her I don't feel the same way because it would crush her." The caramel earth pony looked down. He mumbled something Pinkie couldn't hear "What?" She whispered looking at him. " It's to late for that.." He says looking back up at Pinkie, smiling. "Yes she is hurt but, I don't get why she did t tell you earlier" Pinkie looked into his eyes. Her eyes got bright and she stood up. "I know what I have to do!" She said. She gave Cheesy a quick peck on the cheek and zoomed out the door of Sugar Cub Corner. "Ok. I will just clean up then?" He said with a heavy sigh. His mare friend knew how to make a mess when she was angry. Pinkie ran to the park. Finding Dashie in a tree. "Rainbow Dash!!" She said loudly. Rainbow looked up from her sleepy state and frowned. "H..hey pinks" She said super quiet. Pinkie climed the tree and sat by Rainbow on her haunches. "Dashie. Can I ask you something?" She asked with caution. Picking her words carefully. Rainbow looked at her "Anything" she said " Why didn't you tell me you like me?" She asked staring at Dash play with her hooves. Rainbow didn't hesitate to answer "I didn't know when the right time was. You make me feel anxious and giddy and " she paused " oh, I don't know Pinks. Cheese came into the picture and you seemed so happy" her eyes left Pinkies. Pinkie's heart raced. Nopony ever said she makes them feel like that before. She didn't want to hurt Dashies feelings before seeing if the reject was legit. "Dashie?" "Yes Pinkiepie?" "Why me? " she asked. Rainbow's eyes went shut and she smiled. Pinkie smiled at the fact that Dashie smiled. " Well you are cool. You make everypony laugh and you do it will ease. You are beautiful and I love being around you. I guess I love you in general. But" she paused " you're with Cheese and I don't want to interfere. " Pinkie could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks. Her. Reaching got heavy. She tried to scoot closer to Dash but lost her balance and slipped. "Pinkie!" Rainbow jumped into action. To save pinkie from falling onto the rocks below the tree. She caught her just in time. Pinkie's eyes were shut tight but, opened when she felt Rainbows hooves on her waist. Rainbow flapped her wings and carried Pinkie back to the tree. Pinkie insisted on going a bit higher this time. "Um ok?" Was Dashie's response. She wasn't sure why but her breathing was crazy heavy and her heart throbbed. She gave her wings a last flap and set Pinkie down on the tree. Sitting closer to her this time. Pinkie looked at Dash. " I don't know if I like her like that though.." Pinkie thought to herself. " There is only one way to find out" Pinkie decided she would put it to the test. This would determine whether she would stay with Cheese or be with Dashie. "Rainbow Dash?" She asked the Pegasus who was trying not to show that she was blushing. She muffled "Hmm? What is it Pinmmmf!!" She was interrupted by a pink pair of lips touching hers. Rainbow fell into the kiss and pushed harder. Just to make sure it would last longer. Pinkie had decided. But, she wanted this to last. After a second of still they broke for air. But they pushed their foreheads together. Never losing touch. "So Pinkie?" The cyan mare asked with her eyes closed I think I might be in love with you" She said with a giggle as her hair poofed back to life. " You said that you didn't want to interfere with cheese and me but... I don't know what to do!" She pulled away from Rainbow Dash and looked at the sunset. Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie and smiled. " Well," She said to Pinkie " When you decide, tell me. I'll wait for you." Pinkie looked at her and smiled. Her best friend. The one that was always there for her.. " I should go--" Rainbow started and she flapped her wings. "Wait" Pinkie said a bit too quickly. " Stay and hold me for a while?" She asked. Rainbow could tell she was having a hard time with this whole thing but, had no problem being with her. She did love her, after all. " Ok" She said sitting back on the tree. Rainbow dash wrapped her wings around Pinkie while Pinkie had her hooves around Dashie's waist. Together they sat in silence for what seemed like forever..
