Fluttershy opened her eyes and sat up. The sun was shining through her window as she stretched a little bit . Afterwards, she put her hoof down next to her, only to feel something warm and soft.
“Oh sorry Angel Bunny I didn't kn-” Fluttershy stopped when she turn her head. Next to her wasn't Angel, but Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy was shocked and confused as to what Rainbow Dash was doing here. She looked around her room for some explanation, but all it did was confuse her more. Things looked different than they did last night.
There were two dressers, a cloud floating near her bed, a Wonderbolts poster next to the window, a desk with a pile of papers on it, and on her nightstand were four pictures. She pick up each of the pictures, hoping they would answer her questions. The first picture was of Rainbow Dash holding Fluttershy, they were both smiling, and looking very happy together. The second photo was of Fluttershy in a…wedding dress, and Rainbow Dash in a…tux, and they were...kissing. In the next photo Fluttershy had either gained a lot of weight or was pregnant, and Rainbow was nuzzling against her. The last picture had her holding two babies, and Rainbow Dash at her side looking at them. Fluttershy just looked at the pictures not sure what was going on, she felt as if she was in a trance until a voice snapped her out of it.
“Hey Shy, are you take a trip down memory lane or something?” the voice asked. Fluttershy shook her head slightly and turned her attention towards the voice. Her eyes locked on Rainbow Dash who was seductively smiling at her.
“Umm….yes, I guess I was.” Fluttershy answered, not sure of what to tell her. Rainbow laughed softly, and got closer to Fluttershy, kissing her muzzled gently.
“Why don’t we have a little fun before the kids wake up? I’m feeling a little hot this morning, if you know what I mean.” Rainbow was almost on top of Fluttershy. Fluttershy gently pushed Rainbow off of her, and jumped out of bed. Rainbow looked at her confused and a little hurt.
“What’s wrong Shy, I thought you said last night th-” Rainbow Dash eyes grew wide, with a spark of excitement. “Is there something you have to tell me Shy?” Rainbow Dash asked rubbing Fluttershys stomach.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, are we soon going to have more little hooves running around the house?”
“What? No, I’m not pregnant, why would you even think that?” Rainbow had a mixed look of disappointment and relief on her face.
“Oh, well, it’s just that last time you…rejected me like that, you were pregnant.” Rainbow explained. Fluttershys mind started to race, the last two pictures she had just seen came to mind. If those two pictures were right, then that meant her and Rainbow Dash were...married.
“I guess you’re just not in the mood today.” Rainbow said, laughing a little. Fluttershy calmed herself down and thought about what was happening. She could only come up with one answer, it was a dream, a very weird dream. She didn't believe herself though, it felt too real to be a dream.
“Well, I’m getting hungry. I’m going to get some breakfast.” Rainbow said as she walked out of the room. As she left Fluttershy thought about last night. What did she do last night that could have caused this? Nothing really happened; she talked to Twilight for a little bit, went home, feed her animals, ate dinner and then went to bed, nothing unusual happened. She then came back to her dream theory, and remembered that you can't feel pain in a dream. She ran over to the desk, hesitated for a few seconds and slammed her head into it. Pain shot through her whole head and down her back.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!” Fluttershy screamed in pain. As she screamed she heard somepony coming closer to her.
“Mom, are you ok?” A voice asked. Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes and saw a young colt standing in front of her. He had a Rainbow mane and tail, dark blue fur, green eyes, and a hat that Fluttershy recognized as Rainbow’s. Rainbow flew in behind him, looking worried.
“Y-yes, I’m fine, why do you ask?”
“Well for one, you just slammed your head into the desk,”
“I-I didn't slam my head into it, I tripped,and...fell on it” Fluttershy lied. The colt seemed to believe her and gave her a hug. As he ended his hug Rainbow Dash walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead. Fluttershy jumped back in surprise and her wings flared up.
“Someones in the mood now?” Rainbow joked, laughing a bit.
“The mood for what?” the colt asked.
“Um…breakfast, I think everyone is in the mood for breakfast. Why don’t you go join Butterfly downstairs, I’m going to make sure mom is ok,” Rainbow suggested. The colt nodded and ran down stairs, as he ran away Rainbow closed the door behind him.
"Ok, what’s wrong?”
“What do you mean?”
“You have been acting weird all morning. First you act like you don't even like me, then you slam your head on the desk, and lastly, you just lied to our own son.” Rainbow answered angrily. At that moment the weight of everything just came crashing down on her, she was very confused and scared. She just wanted everything to go back to normal, the way it was yesterday.
“I…I just don’t know what going on.” Fluttershy answered, falling onto the floor crying. Rainbows face quickly softened when she heard the first few sniffs. She realized she had just yelled at Fluttershy, and while Fluttershy wasn't as weak as some ponies thought, she hated angry yelling.
“It's ok Shy,I just didn't understand that you're having an off morning. I'm sorry, it's just that I hate liars, and hearing you lie just got me angry. Just remember no matter what that I will always love you. Okay?” Rainbow hugged Fluttershy and kissed her on the forehead again. Strangely enough she felt better after the hug and kiss from Rainbow Dash; but then again Rainbow always made her feel better ever since they were fillies.

Fluttershy ran into her house, and towards her room. She wasn't going to stop for any reason. Her mom called out to her, but she pretended to not hear her as ran into her room, closed the door and locked it. She climbed into her bed and buried her face into her pillow. She cried into it, hoping the pillow would hide the sound in case her parents came by the door. She didn't want to see anypony anyway; not her parents, not her teachers, and especially not any of her so called friends. All of her friends laughed at her just because she missed a few rings in the flying exercise, and came in last place. It tore her up inside knowing that she didn't have any real friends. All she could hear was that horrible chant echoing in her ear, "Fluttershy, can hardly fly." All them were saying that, all except one; Rainbow Dash. She didn't laugh or chant, she just looked at her, and called out her as she flew away. She heard her, but didn’t turn around to face her. She turned her head towards the window and was shocked by what she saw.
“Ra-Rainbow Dash?” Fluttershy asked as she saw the small rainbow maned filly hovering outside her window. Fluttershy got up and walked towards the window, Rainbow said something, but the thick window blocked it out. Fluttershy looked at her not sure what she wanted, or why she was here. Rainbow pointed to the bottom of the window, and without even thinking about Fluttershy opened it to let her in. Rainbow flew in and gave her a smile.
“Hey, are you going to be ok?” Rainbow asked.
“Why are you here?” Fluttershy asked.
“I come to check on you, and that’s the thanks I get? If you want me to I'll leave.”
“Oh no, I’m very thankful that you came, but did you come here just to check on me?”
“I was worried about you, and I just wanted to make you were ok.”
"R-Really?"
"Ya."
“But, my house is kind of out the way isn’t it? You didn’t have to come all the way out here.”
“Actually, I did.”
“Why?”
“I never told you this, but you are my closest friend, and if I didn't come see you, I’d be worried about you all day.” Rainbow explained, Fluttershy smiled as Rainbow
“I think of you as my closest friend too," Fluttershy said as she hugged Rainbow. Rainbow hugged Fluttershy back and sat down on her bed. For the next hour Fluttershy and Rainbow sat on her bed in a quiet embrace. She had never felt as safe and happy as she did at that time, and never forgot about it.

“Shy, don’t you want some breakfast?” Rainbow called, snapping Fluttershy out of her memories.
“Oh um, ya.” Fluttershy said as she followed Rainbow downstairs. As she walked down the stairs she starting thinking again. "Just because we cuddled a few times as fillies, that doesn't mean I love Rainbow." Another thought lingered in her mind as she thought that. Is that what she believed? Or is that what she wanted to believe?
