Dates and Naps

Pinkie took a deep breath as she stood on the doorstep of Carousel Boutique. "Well, here I go" Pinkie said as she knocked. Rarity opened the door.

"Pinkie! What are you doing here? Not that I mind having you over of course but I have some work I need to finish." Rarity said as Pinkie walked in.

"Oh I just need some advice Rarity but I can come back later!" Pinkie said

"Nonsense darling! I always have time for friends!" Rarity assured her. As Pinkie and Rarity sat down in the living room Pinkie was getting increasingly flustered just thinking about asking advice on what she was going to ask about. "So what did you need advice about Pinkie?" Rarity questioned

"Um, w-well I-I um" Pinkie stuttered out she went to cover her face.

"Pinkie dear whatever could be causing you of all ponies to be shy?" Rarity asked Pinkie.

She finally muttered an answer " I-I have somepony I like, as more than a friend I mean.".

Rarity positively squealed "Ooooh!! Romance! Oh Pinkie what do you need to know about!?" she was dancing giddily in place.

Pinkie sighed "I don't know how to tell them and I don't know the first thing about dating either." this was the one kind of relationship she was clueless in, she was a master at all other kinds.

"Well I could help you but you'd need to tell me who it is or at least describe them". Pinkie sighed "She's shy, and kind, a huge introvert, she likes the quiet so I try to tone it down around her, she absolutely adores animals! And she's so cute and her wings are the softest, not that I've actually gotten to touch them but I bet they're soft, and she has a long mane and tail that look so silky soft and her coat looks so fluffy! And I love her Rarity and what should I dooooo!? Pinkie finished looking close to crying despite the dreamy gaze her eyes had.

Rarity didn't know whether to gape in shock or laugh "F-Fluttershy? The special somepony you like is Fluttershy?!" Rarity went to sit with her friend giving her a hug as she talked.

"Y-Y-Yes and she probably doesn't like me like that at all!" Pinkie started sobbing hysterically.

"Shhh Shhh it's fine darling I know the perfect thing!" Rarity said.

"Y-You do?" Pinkie asked Rarity shakily.

"Yes I do and here's what you're going to do!" Rarity said as she started whispering her plan.

For the second time that day Pinkie stood on a doorstep and sighed. Though this time it was the doorstep to Fluttershy's cottage and she had a slightly more understandable reason to be nervous. "Okay, I can do this. I can do this." Pinkie quietly said to herself. Pinkie knocked on the door more gentle then she had on Rarity's door, so as not to scare the owner and hopefully soon to be date.

"Hello?" Fluttershy asked quietly "Oh! Pinkie it's you! Come in."

As Pinkie walked in feeling very nervous she said "Thanks Fluttershy. I wanted to talk to you about something."

"O-Oh! I'm sorry for whatever I did." Fluttershy apologized.

Pinkie giggled and explained"Heh heh, Don't worry Fluttershy you didn't do anything!".

"If you say so." Fluttershy said as they at down on the couch together. "W-Well um w-what did you want to talk about?" Fluttershy questioned her. Pinkie was getting flustered, Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. Pinkie was never nervous! What could she possibly want to talk about that was making her feel this way?

"I-I-I.... I LIKE YOU ROMANTICALLY!" Pinkie shouted startling the various animals who had been watching the conversation.

"R-Really?" Fluttershy asked surprised.

"Really." Pinkie answered and with trepidation asked her question "And I was wondering, if you like me back, if you would want to go on a d-date with m-me?".

Fluttershy was also getting flustered. "W-Well I like you like that too, and if you want I would love to go on a date with you."

Pinkie grinned "Hooray! I already have a date planned for today if that's okay?" Pinkie asked Fluttershy.

"Y-Yeah t-that would b-be fine" Fluttershy stuttered as Pinkie's already wide grin widened.

"Great! Follow me!". Pinkie took Fluttershy's hoof and led her to the edge of the Whitetail Woods and as they went in went toward a beautiful clearing with a lake, a meadow, and a waterfall connecting to some mountain. On a hill in the clearing near the lake was a checkered red and white picnic blanket. Pinkie led Fluttershy over to it saying "This it! I made some of your favorite foods and some of mine too of course!".

"I love it Pinkie." Fluttershy assured her. They walked over and had a wonderful time as they ate the delicious food, told jokes, and shared stories.

"So..... are you having fun?" Pinkie shyly asked nervously.

"Yes Pinkie I'm having a wonderful time" Fluttershy said.

Pinkie sighed in relief "Good! I was really nervous about the date.".

"Usually I'm the nervous one" Fluttershy softly chuckled. Pinkie counted down in her head 3...2...1!, suddenly a swarm of absolutely beautiful blue and black butterflies started flying towards the meadow. "Oh! Pinkie! What's this?" Fluttershy asked as a butterfly landed on her nose.

"Well I know you love butterflies and Rarity told me that these pretty butterflies like to come here around noon." Pinkie told her as they laid down together. The butterflies landed on them as they held still. Since both ponies were full of food, relaxed, and laying completely still they fell asleep snoozing in the warm noon sun on a comfy blanket with butterflies surrounding them as they cuddled in their sleep. Both ponies contented and having sweet dreams about each other.

Happily Ever After!

Author's Note:

So this is my first story, I kinda wanted my first story to be my OC's cutiemark story but then I got an adorable Flutterpie idea that wouldn't go away so here you are! How is it? Be honest!

I liked the idea of Pinkie Pie getting all shy over romance. and the date itself was pretty cute too. But in between the start and ending, it was over too quickly! I wanted to see more development, of Pinkie slowly overcoming her shyness around Fluttershy, that would've been fun to read.

7305353 Thanks for commenting!!! I actually gasped when I saw the notification! I'll try to make my stories longer!

I liked this story because it's cute, but the only reason I don't like this story is because it feels kinda rushed. The actual story was all cute and fluffy, but... The pacing kinda threw me off. I think the story would be a bit more interesting if you showed Pinkie developing feelings for Fluttershy in the beginning, rather than already jumping to Pinkie asking for advice. In other words, add a bit more details. All in all, I'll give a thumbs up for FlutterPie~

7307184 Thanks! Another person told me that too! I'll work on the pacing and adding more details in the next story!

I'm perfectly fine with the jumping to the feelings immediately, but a flash back to see the little moments would have been nice. Perhaps lacking in the department of details, It would have done fine to see her try to prepare the date, or perhaps delayed the date and added the anxiety of asking her, with the followed anxiety of "smeg she's agreed, now what do I do?"
