//------------------------------// // Living with a celebrity // Story: Adventures of love // by Woogabear //------------------------------// Soarin' hadn't always been popular with ponies. Mares specifically. In school you would identify him as a good looking nerd who didn't have enough confidence to become popular, but could have easily, if he tried. But soon Soarin's popularity increased and once he became a wonderbolt he was a celebrity. He has only gotten more popular, especially with mares. He's been on several magazine covers and has many posters, showing off his muscled form. Soarin' however is still they nerdy shy colt, that gets good grades and shies away from attention. Since becoming a wonderbolt he has learned how to deal with the paparazzi without being mean, or forceful. Fluttershy knew all this already, she had grown up with him. She had always thought he was cute but being even more shy than he was, she never had the courage to tell him. Fluttershy woke in Soarin's embrace, her eyes fluttered open to see the chiseled face of her coltfriend. He was snoring softly, making him seem so innocent, but from the events that had transpired last night she knew he was anything from innocent. She smiled at her thoughts and slowly peeled herself from him. She walked downstairs to prepare the animals food for the day, Angel was stopping his foot angrily at her as she prepped his hoof crafted meal. "You know Angel, Soaring' doesn't like it when you get impatient, and neither do I for that matter." She continued to stir his kibble adding a little bit of sugar that he loves. At the mention of Soarin's name, the small bunny got even angrier. The moment Soarin' had been wheeled through that cottage door Angle had been jealous. He saw Soarin' as a nuisance that should be eliminated, but being at the small stature that he is, nothing had really worked. He watched as she set his food on the table and lifted him up on the bar stool. He looked at his food and turned away crossing his arms in disapproval. "Please eat your food Angel bunny, it's good for you, I even put a little extra sugar on top." He looked at his food and finally gave in to the delicious looking temptation. It was so good that he didn't even notice his mortal enemy enter the room. Fluttershy smiled when he entered the room, he sat down on the stool next to Angel bunny and patted his head. "How's it going little guy?" Angle gave him a dirty look and returned to his kibble. Soarin' didn't notice the bunny's bad intentions and returned his focus back to Fluttershy. "How did you sleep last night?" He asked her. She smiled at him knowingly, "Well I was so exhausted, I slept like a foal." Soarin' grinned at her. "What do you want for breakfast?" She asked. "You don't have to make anything, why don't we go out and eat?" He suggested. "Oh", she looked surprised. "We could do that if you wanted, are you sure you're feeling up to it, you might still feel a bit tired from your injuries." He raised an eyebrow at her. "Did that slow me down last night?" He said it in such a way that It made her laugh. "No I guess it didn't, okay lets go out and eat." After Fluttershy had fed the rest of the animals the couple set out. It was a quiet day in Ponyville, not many ponies seemed to be doing anything, but as always, Sugar Cube Corner was open. They had just entered town and not a sound was to be heard, except the birds chirping and a few ponies chatting. Soarin' and Fluttershy were about to make their way towards Sugar Cube Corner when they heard a rumble. Fluttershy let out a squeal and jumped behind her coltfriend, suddenly a huge cloud of dust surrounded them along with feminine voices hollering at them. Fluttershy looked past Soarin' to see what was going on. What she saw surprised her. A mob of mares from all over Ponyville was surrounding them. They didn't seem to notice the meek yellow mare behind their object of affection. Soarin' looked at the mares in shock but his expression soon became apologetic. He looked at his mare friend. "I'm sorry Shy, this will only take a sec." He turned and addressed the formidable group of mares that had accumulated in the past thirty seconds. "Hi, how are all you lovely mares doing?" There was a huge eruption of squeals and 'I love you's', heard from the crowd, this did not make Fluttershy comfortable. "I would love to stay and chat but I am going out to eat with someone, I will be seeing you." Before Soarin' could try and break through the mob of mares a lavender hoof stopped him. He looked to see Star Reporter. Star Reporter was the number one journalist and interviewer Ponyville has ever had. She manages to get information that no other pony could do before. There was something about her green and pink curls that just made you want to tell her everything. This was why she was one of the highest paid ponies in Ponyville. "Hello, Soarin', can I ask you a few questions?" Soarin' sighed. "I can't really talk right now Star, I'm going to eat." She gave him an award winning smile. "Just one question that's all." He rolled his eyes. "Fine." "Who are you going to breakfast with?" She stared at him intently telling him that she wasn't going to let him go until he answered. Fluttershy poked her head around her coltfriend. Soarin' sighed once again and said, "This is Fluttershy, she is the mare I'm going to breakfast with." Soarin' placed his wing over Fluttershy's back. "Now if you could excuse us." As he was pushing past Star Reporter he heard the snap of a camera and winced. The couple ran like mad to lose the mob of mares who attempted to follow them. They had to take a detour but eventually lost them. They burst into Sugar Cube Corner breathless. Ms. Cake looked at them confused. "Are you alright. dears?" The couple recovered slightly, Fluttershy smiled kindly. "We're fine, thanks for asking." She raised her eyebrow. "Well would you like anything?" Soarin' walked up to the counter. "Can we get two bowls of carrot oatmeal, with a side of fruit." Ms. Cake smiled. "Coming right up." The couple chose a table in the far corner and sat down. Fluttershy attempted to fix her windblown hair that had been disheveled in the mad dash to chase away dozens of screaming mares. Fluttershy sighed. Will being Soarin's marefriend always be like this? As if reading Fluttershy's thoughts Soarin put his hoof over hers. "I am so sorry Shy, this happens to me a lot, I didn't think it would be as bad here in Ponyville, I guess I was wrong. Though there was less mares than usual." Fluttershy gave him a small smile. "You sound disappointed." He laughed. "No, No, I'm not disappointed." He turned serious again. "Shy I really am sorry I got you all mixed up in this mess, and then Star Reporter showed up..." Fluttershy stopped him with a quiet shush. "It's fine Soarin' I don't care about all that, as long as you are with me I am happy." Soarin' felt his heart well up in affection. He couldn't understand how he could love a pony so much. Fluttershy gently leaned across the table and pressed her lips to his. Fluttershy typically didn't like to show too much affection in public, especially with her special somepony, but that didn't matter right now. Her kiss became more frantic, she leaned completely over the table using her hoof to press his head closer to hers. This was by far the most scandalous thing Fluttershy had ever done in public. Soarin' had no complaints of course, his only concern was that some paparazzi was watching and them getting a raunchy picture and a Ludacris headline in one of the cities tabloids .Suddenly the passionate couple heard a voice clear their throat above them. They pulled apart to see Ms. Cake holding two bowls of oatmeal looking uncomfortable. "I didn't know you had it in you Fluttershy!" She set down the couples food and left. Fluttershy was blushing with the realization of what she had just done. Did I just kiss a world famous wonderbolt in public? Fluttershy felt all the heat in her face and ears. Soarin' smiled as he noticed Fluttershy's reaction. Can she get any cuter? Just as this thought passed Fluttershy sneezed in the most adorable way possible, Soarin' shook his head. No she can't. They dug in to their delicious breakfast, the oatmeal was just right and had that delicious tang of the carrots. Soarin' was wolfing down his food, turns out making out with your fillyfriend takes a real toil, plus Soarin' eats like a teenage colt. Fluttershy gently placed the spoon in her mouth and ate quietly like everything else she does. She smiled as she watched Soarin' enjoy his food so much. She found herself staring at his facial expression as the flavors overcame his faced. She longed to kiss him again but knew that she shouldn't have too much of a good thing or it might lead to trouble. Soarin' noticed her looking at him and said: "What?" "Nothing you just have a little food on your face that's all." Fluttershy smiled gently. "Would you mind getting it for me?" He asked seductively. "I wouldn't mind at all." Fluttershy picked up a paper napkin and ran it over the corner of his mouth. She saw the form appear on his face when she was done. he gave her a pouty look. "That's not what I meant Shy." She smiled. "I know what you meant, but we are in public and you are a celebrity. We wouldn't want to get caught would we?" His face suddenly became sad. “I'm sorry that you even have to think that, why would any mare want to date me other than to get famous too? If not, who would put up with all of the drama? You know sometimes I wish I wasn't a wonderbolt." Fluttershy's expression softened to look at him. "Well for one, I know a mare sitting right across from you who would put up with dating a celebrity, and two we both know that you love being a wonderbolt, it's your life's dream and you're living it. Soarin' I wouldn't leave you even if we had a huge horde of mares everywhere we go. I love you and that's enough to keep me around." He looked at her with tears in his eyes. "Fluttershy how did I find you in this crazy world we live in? I must be the luckiest stallion alive." Fluttershy felt the tears well up in her eyes as well. Instead of replying she gently leaned over and pressed her lips against his. His eyes closed as he enjoyed the sensation of her soft lips, but all too soon she pulled away. "Let's go home." He said. From then on their relationship has been growing stronger and stronger. There is always somehow a mob of mares whenever Soarin' is out in public but he handles it like a pro in Fluttershy's opinion. Angel is still working over how to destroy Soarin's presence, but he's just a tiny bunny after all.
