"You See That Cloud? That's My Cloud."
Flutters! I know you're in there! Cmon it, it'll be fun!
Im, Uhm, I'm not home!
You ARE at home, silly! How else would you be able to talk to me through the door?
But I've, Uhm, heard so many bad ru-
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?
Oh, um.... okay.
YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!
--------------------
And that's how Fluttershy got dragged out of her house today. All because of that pink, poofy, party planner pony. But, hopefully it won't turn out so bad. While Pinkie was bouncing ahead, eager to get to their destination, Fluttershy was walking behind, thinking about those rumors she heard.
Oh, what if I end up like that one mare from the Rock Farmers Revenge? Or what if I fly out of the Luna Boat and forget to use my wings? There are so many things that could go wrong...
She looked up and looked at the pink mare bouncing to the gates of their destination in front of her. She smiled and looked back down.
Hopefully we'll be able to go on the Mare-is Wheel. I always like to have a view of the sunset.
She looked back up at Pinkie. Maybe, if everything goes well.... She blushed and looked away. She then bumped into something soft. The smell of candy that lingered the whole trip, from when Pinkie was knocking on her cottage door, to now, seemed to be amplified. She looked forward and saw that she was muzzle-to-muzzle with Pinkie. She yelped and sped away to a nearby bush, afraid that Pinkie saw her now massive blush. Her face felt like it was about to combust.
"Hehe, Fluttershy! Come out! Don't back out now, we're already at the gates!" The pink pony called out to her.
Fluttershy gulped. Come all this way, but back out at the very last second? Seems like something I would do... But I won't. Just this once.... For her.
"Uhm, o-okay..." Fluttershy said as she stepped out of the bush. Then, Pinkie bounced ahead again, but stopped after two meters.
"Hey, Flutters?"
"Uhm, yes?"
"You see that cloud?"
She motions to a cloud shaped like a pony kissing another pony. Fluttershy blushes.
"Yes?"
"That's my cloud."
"Oh, oh my..."
--------------------
They walked up to the ticket stand after going through the gates. The gates were gigantic. They looked like gates meant for a haunted house or something. Pinkie showed no fear and bounded right through, while Flutters was more hesitant. But, she powered through anyway. For her!
Pinkie went ahead and got the tickets, while Fluttershy sat and read the notice board.
"Warning, keep your hooves and any other stretchable limbs in any and all rides at all times. Well, if it'll keep me safe.."
"Hiya Flootershaii! I have the tickets!"
"Oh, that's great. Let's, Uhm, head right in."
And so, the two trot off into the theme park: Gold Field City. Fluttershy walked over to a map and looked over it.
"Hmmm... What to ride first..."
"Let's go on the Chimera!"
Fluttershy visibly paled at that suggestion. The Chimera was famous for the massive amount of Gs it hits (not as many Gs as Rainbow gets every day, mind you), and because after one push of momentum, it relies on gravity to keep the coaster going. Plus, your hind legs hang out of the ride, making it even more thrilling (and harder to walk afterwards). She shuddered and took a step back.
"Cmon, it'll be fun!"
"B-but, from what, Uhm, I've seen, it looks t-terrifying..."
"Oh, let me guess.... Never been on the Chimera before?"
Fluttershy gulped, nodded and looked away.
"Aww, don't worry! I'll be right there with you! It's, my first time too..."
"Y-you're just saying that..."
"I'm not. Only Rainbow and AJ have been on that ride out of the 'Mane Six', as the Brony Fandom calls us, so I'm determined to add to that number!"
Fluttershy shot Pinkie a confused look. She went back to looking uneasy soon after.
"Don't worry. I'll hold your hoof, if you want..."
Fluttershy visibly changed her expression from one of uneasiness, to one of trust.
"Okay, I'll do it. But only because you'll hold my hoof."
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"
Im gonna be deaf when I get home...
--------------------
They were heading to the other side of the theme park towards the Chimera. The coaster was actually revolving more around the snake part of the mythical creature, since it's the only one showing up on all the signs, and it's also a twisty-turny-hoopy-loopy roller coaster. The pink-maned pair walked to the entrance, a small cave.
"Uhm..."
"Let's go!"
Pinkie bounded ahead, leaving Fluttershy behind to try and catch up. She did manage to, even when going through the cave, and they made their way to the line. The line didn't seem too long.
"Oh, well... It looks like the line is long, maybe we should go on another ride, like go to the Zoo-"
"Silly Fluttershy! The Zoo isn't a ride! Plus, the line isn't THAT long. We can just wait it out!"
"Oh, Uhm...okay."
And so,my hey waited out the line, moving every few minutes to shimmy up. While Fluttershy was taking in the vast amount of trees and other foliage that surprisingly grew around here, Pinkie was chatting to the pony next to her about "Eight Days at Cyclops's" or something. Before the two knew it, they were at the front of the line. Fluttershy's stomach was doing backflips and threatened to make her lose her breakfast, even though they weren't on the ride yet. Fluttershy uneasily walked up to one of the strange seats, and plopped her saddlebags underneath it. She then got onto the seat, sitting quite awkwardly due to the fact that you sit on it like an anthropomorphic creature. Her legs hung of the seat. Pinkie plopped her bags next to the shy pegasus's bags, and got into the seat next to her. She was shifting at first, trying to get comfortable, until she was ready. She shot Fluttershy a smile before looking ahead and pulling down her safety bar. Fluttershy did the same.
"FINALLY I can sit like this without being judged!" The unicorn in the seat in front of Pinkie's exclaimed as she plopped down into the seat as if it were normal.
"Ugh, I wish you weren't into those weird... Human, things. Whatever the heck they are." The earth pony that sat next to her said.
"Well, whatever, candy butt."
"String cheese."
"Woah, where did that nick name come from?"
"No time to explain. We're off!"
The earth pony was right. With a loud hiss, the ride pushed off. Slowly, but surely, the ride made its way up a large ascent. Just as the ride reached its peak, Fluttershy whispered, "no turning back now..." And then she felt something wrap around her hoof. She tried to look to it, but the safety was blocking her view.
"I've got you, don't worry. Oh, and, keep your head up. I've heard it helps."
Fluttershy did as told and held her head up. Now realizing that it was Pinkie holding her hoof, her face quickly gained a slight blush. Then, with one final push, the ride was going down. The massive amount of pressure on Fluttershy made her unable to scream. She even struggled to breathe, the force was so strong. Meanwhile, Pinkie sounded like she was having the time of her life; screaming in glee, squeezing Fluttershy's hoof, you name it. The coaster pushed them into a small cave, making it dark for a second before re-emerging. Fluttershy's jaw felt like it was about to fly right off, and her cheeks were being pulled back by the massive amount of speed. And Fluttershy's head was bouncing around in her safety and seat as if it were a pinball. And during this, Pinkie did not let go of the shy pegasus's hoof. Not once.
After all of the spins and turns and twists, the coaster stopped right where it started. Fluttershy pushed off her safety and got to her hooves. She stumbled at first, but managed to right herself. She picked up the saddlebags, giving Pinkie hers once she was out of her seat and back on her hooves. The two made their way to the exit, passing by the photo shop on the way.
"Flutters! Look! There's us!"
"Huh?"
Fluttershy looked at the monitor the pink pony was pointing to. And, indeed, there they were. And what a sight to behold. The picture had Fluttershy with a horrified look on her face, and a slight blush, and the poofy pony next to her had her eyes closed, a gigantic smile on her face as she screamed in absolute... I don't have a word for this.
"Oh, oh my..."
"Hehe, and look at the ponies that were in front of us!"
She pointed to the monitor below that. It had the unicorn and earth pony from before, and they were both somehow clutching on each other for dear life through the safety.
While Fluttershy was staring at the picture, trying to make sense of it, Pinkie called out to her, "Flutters! Let's go on the Roaring Rapids next!"
Fluttershy shook her head and looked to her friend, who was standing at the door. "Oh, that sounds nice to me! It IS a hot day, and that's one of the best ways to cool off."
"See? That's the spirit! Let's go!"
--------------------
The two walked out of the Roaring a Rapids, laughing and leaving wet hoof prints behind them, certain areas of their bodies (namely the mane, hooves, tail and plot) where wet.
"And remember when you sniffed up half of the water from the splash?" Fluttershy said, laughing afterwards.
"Yeah! And remember when you clinger onto me in the cave as if your life depended on it?" Pinkie said with a snort.
Fluttershy blushed and looked away.It probably does...
"Wait.. Did I... Say something wrong?"
"huh? Oh, Uhm... No,Pinkie. It's fine."
"Oh no, I've upset you! Is there anything I can do to make it up to you? Anything? Anything at all?"
Fluttershy giggled at the Pony's antics.
"No, Pinkie. It's fine. Really. But, where should we go next?"
"Hmmm... Let's go to the Uncontrolled Train!"
"Uhm, okay."
--------------------
They went on all sorts of rides, the Rock Farmers Revenge being her favorite. Not just because it's a better way to cool off than the Roaring Rapids, but it also gave her a better sense of security, somehow. But, the highlight of the day came at sunset.
After Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie got off the Rock Farmers Revenge, got some cotton candy, and used the little fillies room, they made their way to the Mare-is Wheel. They both got on, and stared out at the setting sun.
No words were said for about ten minutes. Until Pinkie spoke up.
"Y'know, today has been really fun."
"Really?" Fluttershy questioned, tilting her head at Pinkie.
"Yeah. Even when you 'nopeD' out of the U.P.O at the last minute. Still feel sorry for that?"
"Yeah.. I'm sorry..."
"Hey, there's no point in apologizing. It's in the past now."
Fluttershy looked Pinkie in those beautiful blue eyes. Pinkie seemed to slowly be pulling closer to Fluttershy. Fluttershy didn't know it yet, but she was closing in as well.
"Y'know, the sunset is almost as beautiful as you. Almost."
And with that, a Pinkie closed the distance between her lips and the mare's she has just compared the sunset with. They both closed their eyes, and both simultaneously pushed deeper into the kiss. But, eventually, they pulled away for air. They both had a blush, but Pinkie's was harder to see.
They both said it at the same time.
"Will you be my special somepony?"
