A flowing rainbow mane whips in the air currents as its cyan owner speeds across the sky leaving nothing but a small rainbow wake in place of the clouds she was clearing. She performs a few somersaults in the air, a smile covering her cyan muzzle.
"Is that… a new record?" Hearing these quiet words, Rainbow's head snaps down to look at Fluttershy. She ceases her tricks to marvel at the beauty that is slowly flying up to meet her. Rainbow’s smile turns goofy, indicating to Fluttershy how happy she is to see her marefriend so early.
The two pegasi brush wingtips as Fluttershy draws level with Rainbow Dash. With each wingbeat, she feels a tingling as they continue to share the unique yet delicate contact their synchronous wingbeats give.
"Hey Fluttershy. Come with me, I want to show you something."
"Okay..." Rainbow crosses the distance between them with a wingbeat and plants a kiss on ‘Shy's nose. The mare’s creamy yellow face lights up red as she unleashes an adorable little squeak. Her wings lock for a second but Dash grabs her, saving her and plummets toward the ground. Fluttershy clings on for dear life as they level out and barrel through town. A rainbow trail, mixed with pink, follows the two as they twist and turn before crashing through the door of Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow slides along the floor on her back, Fluttershy on top, holding onto each other as they come to a stop under one of the tables.
"You two look so cute like that. Youknowyouknowyouknowrightrightright?" Pinkie lifts up the table cloth revealing their faces. She wears a huge Pinkie grin on her face as she pulls them out. She bounces around the room awaiting a response from the two stunned pegasi.
"What can I get you two lovebirds anyway?" Rainbow Dash is about to answer but is cut off by the bouncy mare continuing. "Oh I know! Cupcakes!" Pinkie disappears with a poof.
"Well I guess… thats Pinkie for you." Fluttershy gives Rainbow Dash an affectionate nuzzle.
"Yea. Sure is, ‘Shy." Anything further is suddenly cut off as Pinkie Pie bounces into sight again, a bag swinging in her mouth. She drops the bag at their hooves.
"Here you go. Have fun on your date!" Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy stare at the pink mare in front of them for a moment, surprised that she somehow knows.
"Thanks, Pinks. We will." Rainbow picks up the bag of food, inserting it into her saddle bag. She shrugs off her own questions, this is Pinkie Pie after all. The pair turn and make their way out the door, breaking their embrace.
"Awwww… There goes the cutest couple in the sky." Pinkie turns around and walks back to the kitchen. "Oh. I know. That would make a great party!" She turns and dashes out the door to collect supplies for the party she is already planning in her head.
High in the sky above, two pegasus ponies soar, occasionally bushing wings as they fly out of Ponyville, toward a secluded patch of green in the distance. Fluttershy is content, although it is hard work for her, keeping aloft at high altitude she found herself starting to enjoy flying like never before. Having Rainbow Dash with her truly does make flying 20% cooler for the shy pegasus. Elation takes over her features and she swerves from side to side, enjoying the rush of wind in her mane and the bush of cyan feathers on her own whenever she swings close to Dash. Setting into a calmer form of flying she glances across and spots Dash idly checking her out as she effortlessly glides alongside her. The cyan mare tears her eyes from Fluttershy’s flank, cheeks flushing.
The two lock gazes for a few seconds, losing themselves in each other's gaze. In an effort to get Dash back, Fluttershy flicks her wings, and spins to the side, hoping to air tackle her. Fluttershy loses control, sending herself slamming into Rainbow who yelps in surprise. They spin round and round, Fluttershy clinging onto Dash for dear life. Frantically flapping for what feels like a lifetime, Rainbow slowly regains control, flying unsteadily along with Fluttershy still clamped to her underside. The two quickly cone into an embrace while Rainbow powers on. Fluttershy smiles and snuggles deeper into Rainbow Dash's coat. A quiet, yet adorable squeak is heard as Fluttershy nuzzles her marefriend who is trying to fly for them both. She feels Dash dip all of a sudden as she relaxes into the affection.
"Hey, 'Shy! I'm trying to fly here! We can do that when we get there."
Rainbow Dash relinquishes her hold on Fluttershy who lets out a gasp of surprise feeling the wind attempting to rip them apart. She unfurls her wings and with a pleased smile on her face, slightly sad that their moment has to end so soon but happy that her failed effort to air tackle Dash had worked out so well. She slowly lets go of Rainbow Dash who helps her regain her composure in the sky. Fluttershy notices that her marefriend is annoyed at her and smiles. She dips a little lower. Rainbow looks her way, questionly. 'Shy ignores her and carefully angels herself, moving in closer and closer to Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy's wings make contact, tickling Rainbow's side. Rainbow Dash immediately puts on a burst of speed, her face contorting as she holds in her laughter.
"Oh it is on now 'Shy!" Rainbow Dash rapidly accelerates away from Fluttershy. The rainbow streak loops into the air, leaving her pink maned companion floating, wondering what is going to come next. Realisation breaks for Fluttershy as her marefriend suddenly arches in the sky above zooming toward her.
Rainbow plucks Fluttershy out of the sky as she zips past, hurtling toward their destination. Fluttershy gives Dash a peck on the cheek, enjoying the wind whipping her mane about and Rainbow Dash's strong cyan hooves gripping her. Rainbow breaks out into a big goofy grin. She snaps out of it just in time to notice the proximity of the lakeside they are about to impact upon.
Fluttershy feels herself being placed gently in the field. She looks up at Dash who takes off unable to resist doing a quick aerial loop to show off before landing beside her marefried. The two entwine their tails, all the colours of the rainbow mixing with pink, as Rainbow Dash shrugs off her pack.
They quietly share their lunch. Fluttershy feels no need to break the peace and quiet of their magical location while Rainbow Dash finds herself content to gaze into Fluttershy's enchanting aqua eyes. Noticing this, Fluttershy breaks Rainbow Dash's concentration by nuzzling her. Rainbow Dash shares a wing, gifting a serene sense of security to her marefriend. They continue to eat slowly, enjoying the contact with each other as they slowly snuggle closer and closer together.
Bliss. Totally and absolutely. ‘That's what this is,' Fluttershy thinks to herself as she gives Rainbow dash a playful lick on the muzzle. Both mares feel content, totally at peace. They can both feel it in their hearts. As they gaze into each others eyes, aqua pools meeting shining pink orbs. They temporarily forget their meal, leaning closer and closer till their lips met. Fluttershy feels like she's about to explode as warm fuzzes fill her body. Every fibre of her body feels like its getting injected full of new life, sparks fly and wings flutter as they hold the kiss, unwilling for it to end. An eternity too soon, it’s all over for the couple, somehow leaving even Rainbow Dash short on breath.
A cunning smile fills Rainbow Dash's features. She flips Fluttershy over onto her back, who lets out a cute, wee squeak in fright. Both mares’ wings flare up again in reaction, fluttering a little in excitement. Dash then gifts her a quick kiss, holding it just long enough to leave them both wanting more. Before Fluttershy can react, Dash takes off. Fluttershy yelps in surprise, and her hold on Rainbow Dash slips. Dash catches her mare too late, sending them both crashing into the lake.
They break the surface, holding each other tightly. Soft as a whisper, Fluttershy attempts to apologise, almost weeping into Dashes mane.
"I'm so sorry Dash, I…" A swift affectionate lick to the nose quiets the timid mare.
"Shhhhh. It's okay 'Shy. I'm the one who startled you. But you know what?" Rainbow leans in, grinning. Fluttershy holds her breath in suspense, not knowing quite what to expect. A telling off? A kiss?
"You look adorable when you’re frightened." Rainbow's grin increases as she pulls away from the shocked mare she is holding tenderly in her hooves.
"Dashie, that's… mean." Fluttershy's tiny voice trails off, unable to do anything but love and adore the prankster who is helping her keep afloat.
They bob around together in the lake for a small eternity. Their tails and manes spreading out around them, creating rainbow-pink patterns in the crystal water as they continue to float about, enjoying the moment.
Sudden coolness enters the air as clouds obscure the sun. Fluttershy shivers.
"Alright, silly filly. Time to get you warmed up." Fluttershy nods. The couple paddle their way back to shore where they proceed to shake themselves mostly dry.
Fluttershy spots an appealing looking patch of open field. She nuzzles her marefriend.
"How about… there. It looks lovely."
"Great idea, 'Shy." They make their way over, in no hurry to do anything except enjoy the touch of the other pegasus.
Rainbow Dash waits while Fluttershy picks her spot then joins her, letting Fluttershy lean into her. She extends a wing over Fluttershy, flooding the yellow pony with warmth.
"Hey, uh… Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy nuzzles Dash affectionately for a few moments before replying.
"Yes, Dashie?"
"Please… Don't tell the others. This snuggling thing will ruin my reputation if anypony else finds out."
Fluttershy quietly laughs, sweetness and innocence emanating from her mouth as the soft melodies wash over her awe filled marefriend.
"It's okay. Just… don't stop. If… if that's ok by you. I mean… I don't want to–" Fluttershy is cut off by Rainbow Dash kissing her tenderly.
"Hey, I don't want to stop. How about we take the afternoon off, I could really use a nap, and there’s nopony else I will ever want to share it with. Okay?"
Fluttershy squees in delight, throwing her hooves around Rainbow Dash.
Time slips blissfully by as both mares forget their troubles and duties, lost in each others embrace. Rainbow Dash eventually dozes off on top of Fluttershy. Unable to move her marefriend, even if she wanted to, Fluttershy instead nuzzles her gently. She shifts position to get more comfortable in their full body embrace then allows herself to drift off into Dreamland.
Glad I watched you. This is going to be good, I love flutterdash
*starts reading*
and....done. d'awwwwwww.....FAVED!
Oh Dash. You shouldn't be afraid to snuggle
This is good so far. I like where it's going.
Favorited and liked.
can't wait for your next fic. you're a great writer.
Lebo ponies? Not bad!
926993 Oh.... This was planned to be a one shot initialy... But I do have an idea on where this could go if you think its worth continuing.
926974 Thank you. It's wonderful to know.
927299 Only 'not bad'?
Nice, this is very cute. You should continue make a story with it instead of only one chapter.
927516 Well at least I enjoyed it...and liked it!
Ok so, i'll first list the thing i liked:
1) Good writing
2) Cuteness
3) Rainbow Dash
Now, let's go list the thing that i don't liked:
1) Pinkie Pie looks creepy by already knowing what's between RD and FS...
2) What did they just do?
3) What the hell are they going to do? (cloppers advice)
4) Lesbians?
5) I'd rater prefer to don't type what my mind pictured while reading this. And no, i'm not a clopper, i actually try to don't talk so much to them due to the fact that everything we talk about, it turns into a pony-porno...
Personal comment: WHAT THE FUCK!
This means that i liked it, but that it freaked me. And leaved me a little confused.
927964 Lets work our way down the list. All the good stuff is great! Thank you. Altough both these two are my fave ponies.
1-Pinky Pie is Pinky Pie. She usulay knows when something up and I didn't specifily say that no one else at all knew or had guessed that something is going on between the two of them.
2- Exactly as described in the story. They had a relaxing fun day together (in this case, emphasis on the relaxing... RD likes her naps... FS especialy likes her cuddles.
3 - Nothing dodgy I hope. Enjoy each others compay. (Thats a given) Sleep in each others embrace. Let your mind go for a wander. The chapter end has been left open for those who want to take things a little further. I have a very cute and UNcloppy immagination so rest assured this story cant go anywhere thats not clean + cute, cuddly and clourful. Thats my specialy. Simple. I can continue this story if people think its worth it (it appears to be getting enough of a response to trigger another few scenes. Which is nice)
4 - Lesbians? What of them? I know a few. It doesn't bother me that RD+FS are. I shipped them ever since season 1 ep3. Theres heaps of great moments between these two. Both mares you say? Theyer personalities mix perfectly (blancing each other out, bringing out sides in each other nopony else really knows or gets to see). Plus they both can be really klutzy pegsui and together they look super cute. So I try and write it like that.
5 - Oh dear what picture... I'm against cloppers but it sounds like you got dangerosly close there for a minute (hence extra reasons for trying to keep the story as cute and cuddly as possible).
And to your personal comment... Its great that you liked it. No need to get freaked. Now go read my FlutterDash fillies story. Its also cute. Let me show you how awsome these two are together. In my mind its impossible to ship them anyother way. I think that will help ease your confusion.
Awesome!
This is just adorable. Aww, but Dashiiieee...don't be shy! There's no need to be ashamed about liking to cuddle! You know you love it.
So they take a day off to spend time together, sweet and simple! Sometimes it's just nice to have that kind of sweet story.
I like it so far! I'm so following this.
928851 Thank you for the comment. I'm starting chapter two out of about 3 since this seems to be picking up some support. We'll see where this goes.
But I'll finish off the chapter 4 in the fillies story I'm writing first.
FlutterDash is so adorable. I love how they play with each other as they head to their date.
Next scenes name is Night of Fun. I still need a few more ideas before I continue past the first paragraph though.
Uh oh...
Rainbow doesn't want anyone to know about their relationship...
But didn't Pinkie say something about a PARTY back there?
929978 Eeyup! Good ol' Pinky Pie. Things might get aqward when they get back. Only really the few who had guessed it know that they are more than just friends.
Nicely done! You get a like and favourite from me
This story is like candy. Lacking in any form of serious substance, sweet but not filling, makes your heart beat a little quicker and ultimately leaves you feeling happy to be alive.
There are no earth shattering revelations, no deeply ingrained messages and no symbollically laden scenes. In this case, that is the strength of the story and not, as it might have been, a weakness. This story is unabashedly and incontrovertibly, utterly adorable.
I am glad you saw fit to write this, and equally glad I picked up the story. I look forward to any future additions.
931177 I'm glad you liked it for what it is. It's only a side project to my other 7 stories with Flutterdash (which naturly will be more dynamic). It was only designed as a simple, sweet snapshot of one of RD+FS's dates.
I love adorable. Thank you.
Must resist... hold in... can't... D'AAAWWW! Geez, I'm a sucker for cute stories, and this is just great! It's so adorable! I had a smile on my face pretty much the whole time! When you said it was supposed to be a 1 shot, I was pretty disappointed, because I love snuggle time stories . But I'm super glad you'll be making another chapter! You said you wanted to start off strong, and I think you've done just that, with two excellent stories so far. I'm glad I watched you and I'll read whatever content you put out!
And as always FLUTTERDASH FTW
934925 Thats my forte... Cute FlutterDash. I like this couple too much for my own good and write them as I see them (from the show...)
So you can expect another story up soon. Any ideas for the next chapter are welcome.
FTW!
simply fabulous just like the other story of yours that i have read both adorable and fabulous
940378 Thank you. I'll keep them coming
This is great! I love the idea of Flutterdash/Rainbow shy
This story made me cry... Im not even sure why...but it was awesome!
Said bush instead of brush, shortly followed by Questionly instead of Questioningly and ...well
A few other spelling errors and such, so you lose some points for that.
Used Gaze in both ends of the sentence instead of something else on the second half, such as stare or look into each other's eyes or....something else.
Used the meme 20% cooler.....Ok, I can't really take away points for that but....well I kinda wanted to....I mean it's been used soooo much, that it's almost a cliché now. Still, I guess it's alright...
There are a few other nit picks, such as with your writing style being slightly disjointed in telling of events.
If I am going to be honest in this comment, I will say this: Your writing style reminds me far more of a Director, rather then a writer. You list events as if expecting them to happen as such, not writing them in a way that draws in the reader as if the events are unfolding one after the other in smooth succession.
However, the story was adorable overall, the dialogue was not out of character really, and I think I would give this story about a 4/5, I might read the other parts when I have the time. ^^
