> A Dash Of Love > by FluttersForeva > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Feeling The Love (Chapter 1) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a normal evening in Ponyville for Rainbow Dash, but that was all about to change. "I'm so glad you all could come!" Twilight squealed with joy as she welcomed all of her friends into her castle. "I have been planning this slumber party for weeks!" "Eeeeek slumber parties with friends are the best!" Pinkie said with excitement as she hopped through the door along with Applejack trotting by her side. Then came Rarity, wiping her feet on the mat near the doors, "Such a pleasure that you invited us all to spend the night at this fabulous castle of yours darling!" Rarity smiled walking past Twilight and joining the two other girls. Twilight grinned and looked outside to see her yellow Pegasus friend fluttering over to the castle with her white bunny. "Hello Fluttershy!" Twilight said with a huge grin waving to her friend in the distance. Fluttershy then landed on the castle porch. "Hi Twilight, thank you for inviting me" Fluttershy said reaching in to give Twilight a hug. She then went over to join the others. Twilight stayed standing at the entrance to the castle, looking out for her last guest. She examined above to see any speck of blue dashing through the sunset sky. But no sign of Rainbow Dash. Five minutes later Twilight eyes started to hurt from her long stares at the sky. What was taking Rainbow so long? All of her friends where in the castle lounge setting up their sleeping bags. Then Fluttershy came over to Twilight. "Any sign of her?" Fluttershy softly spoke staring at the sky along with her friend. But just at a split second they both heard and saw a rainboom in the sky, along with a blue pegasus zooming through it, looking as she was gonna crash. "Rainbow be careful!" Twilight yelled waving her hoof in the air as of some type of signal to get the pegasus to slow down. "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!" Fluttershy shrieked as Rainbow got closer to the castle walls. And then, CRASH! Rainbow had slammed right on the walls of the castle above the doors. About 5 minutes after the disaster, which felt like a whole year to poor Rainbow Dash, her eyes slowly opened. She felt all dizzy from the crash and her vision was blurry for a couple seconds, but then she started to see a purple unicorn, and a yellow pegasus staring down at her. "I think she's waking up!" Fluttershy whispered not loosing eye contact with Rainbow. "F-fluttershy?" Rainbow said, her voice sounding all shaky and confused. "Twilight?" Twilight suddenly let out a huge grin and both the ponies reached out their hooves to help Rainbow up. "W-what just happened?" Rainbow said with confusion. "Rainbow! I'm so glad your okay!" Fluttershy squealed pouncing at the pegasus for a hug. "Ouch!" Rainbow shrieked eyes widening from the surprise pain. Fluttershy looked confused at first, until she noticed that Rainbows wing was bruised and twisted. "Oh my goodness! Your wing!" Fluttershy cried, gently holding up the damaged wing to look at it closer. Twilight's eyes widened. "I think it might be broken". Rainbow looked at Fluttershy, then at her wing, then at Fluttershy again. "You go to the others Twilight. I'll sort this out." Fluttershy said to Twilight, still lifting Rainbows wing. Twilight nodded walking into the castle to inform the others on what just happened. Fluttershy sent Angel bunny to grab her bags. When he returned she reached inside and grabbed a green silk bag with a doctor symbol on it. "I never leave home without my first aid kit." Fluttershy said to Rainbow with a grin. Rainbow Dash looked at Fluttershy, then looked at her yellow hoof reaching into the bag, lifting out some ointment. "This will hopefully numb down the pain" Fluttershy said as she squirted some onto her hoof and dabbed it onto the the broken bone with a delicate touch, being as gentle as possible. This is when Rainbow started to feel funny. At first she guessed that it was from the ointment, until she realised she was staring right at Fluttershy, and had been all this time. Fluttershy rubbed the ointment around where the broken bone was. "Tell me if it hurts." Fluttershy said focusing on the broken bone. It did hurt. Alot. But Rainbow didn't care. All she cared about was the kind pony with her hooves on her wing. "Why am I getting this strange awkward feeling whenever Fluttershy touches me?" Rainbow thought, still staring into Fluttershy's green eyes. Before Rainbow knew it, she was blushing. "You know what fluttershy, I'm all good. Just a cast will do the trick." Rainbow Dash said smiling at Fluttershy. Fluttershy raised a brow but then nodded and applied a cast and wrapped it tight, but not too tight. "Your sure your ok?" Fluttershy said still looking concerned. Rainbow awkwardly nodded trying to fight away her feeling and blushing. But then, Fluttershy put her hoof around Rainbow to walk back indoors. This is when Rainbow got dizzy, but felt really happy and she realised she was still blushing. Was Rainbow Dash starting to fall in love with Fluttershy? (End of Chapter 1) > It Starts To Get Real (Chapter 2) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Rainbow Dash! Are you ok? We've been so worried." Applejack exclaimed, intensely waiting for a response. Rarity nodded as to agree. "I've been so worried that I haven't even ate one of my sour gumdrops!" Pinkie said shaking her full bag of gumdrops. Rainbow Dash smiled at her friends and said "I'm fine now, thanks guys". She liked the way how they all cared for her. Especially Fluttershy, but she didn't know that till just now. A part of her was happy that she broke her wing, because if she hadn't, she wouldn't of discovered this. "Why don't you set up your sleeping bag Rainbow, then we can play games!" Twilight cheerfully said, glad that her friend was okay and that the slumber party can really begin. "Oh! Uh yes ok Twi!" Rainbow said, realising yet again she was thinking of the yellow pegasus that helped her when she broke her wing. She set up her sleeping back next to fluttershy's and put on her slippers that look like her pet tortoise, Tank. "Ok girls what should we play first? Truth or dare? Murder in the dark? I must confess?" Twilight said reading her Slumber 101 book that she had used when she had a slumber party with Applejack and Rarity in the golden oak library. Pinkie Pie hopped from her sleeping bag onto Twilights and read through the games. "Ooh how about this one?" she said, pointing to a game with her pink hoof. "Telephone! That looks fun!". All the ponies agreed, and Pinkie hopped back to her sleeping bag. "Ok, I'll start." Rarity said, leaning in to whisper to Twilight. "Frienship is Magic" Twilight nodded and leant over to whisper to Applejack. "Friendship is Magic" she said Applejack smiled and leant to whisper to Pinkie. "Friendship is Magic" Pinkie stuffed a bunch of gumdrops into her mouth before whispering to Fluttershy. "Mmm.. Fwenshwip wis mwagic." Pinkie said, with her mouth full. Fluttershy giggled and then leant over to whisper to Rainbow Dash. When the blue pegasus saw her friend reach over to whisper to her, she tried to remain as calm as possible. "Friendship is Magic" Fluttershy whispered in her cute and soft tone of voice. Rainbow Dash giggled and blushed and tried to hide behind her broken wing. Everypony stared at her. "Rainbow? So what was the sentence?" Rarity said looking confused as to why Rainbow was hiding her face from the others. Rainbow couldn't concentrate on what the sentence really was, all she could manage to think about was of course, the cute pony sitting beside her. She had never felt this way around Fluttershy. Ever. As Rainbow stared into Fluttershy's glistening green eyes which were a bit covered by her long pink mane, she finally spoke. "Love... is magic..." Rainbow slowly said in a strange tone which was nothing like how she normally would speak. Everypony looked confused, especially Fluttershy. Normally in telephone everypony would be laughing at the outcome of the sentence, but no one was laughing. Not even Pinkie Pie. "Heyyy... that wasn't the sentence.." Pinkie Pie said in her normal squeaky voice but a bit deeper, stuffing more sour gumdrops in her mouth while staring at the blushing pegasus suspiciously. "Uhh.. Rainbow, are you feelin' ok?" Applejack said reaching over and putting her hoof on Dash's forehead. "What, huh?! OH! I'm fine! What I MEANT to say was.. uh.. Pie is Magic!" Rainbow yelled suddenly, not realising what she just said. Fluttershy raised an eyebrow and said, "But you hate pie?". Rainbow tried to avoid eye contact with Fluttershy. Twilight and Rarity started to whisper to eachother. "Do you think she's still a bit shocked about what happened when she crashed?" Twilight whispered to Rarity's ear. "Maybe darling, but have you noticed that she's been staring at Fluttershy all this time?" Rarity replied. Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash, then at Fluttershy, then at Rainbow Dash again. Pinkie Pie was still staring with a mouth full of gumdrops, and Applejack was sitting beside Dash trying to use sign language to talk to Twilight and Rarity about what the hay was going on. Fluttershy hadn't yet noticed that Rainbow Dash always blushed when she either touched her or talked to her. Peace and quiet was usually what she liked, but now she thought the whole situation was kinda awkward, and tried to break the silence. "So, what should we play next?" Fluttershy quickly said hoping that Rainbow and the others would stop acting so strange. (End of Chapter 2) > I Must Confess (Chapter 3) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "How about we play I must confess?" Twilight said, relieved that the silence had been broken. Fluttershy nodded and smiled. Pinkie Pie was always happy for a game so she squealed and hopped around on her sleeping bag. Applejack and Rarity both nodded and then all looked at Rainbow Dash. "Why don't you go first Rainbow Dash?" Rarity said, winking at Twilight. "Yes!" Twilight chirped. "Rainbow should definately go first!" Applejack started to get the hint, and played along. "What do you have to confess Dash?" she said with a mischievous grin. Rarity, Twilight and Applejack all looked at Pinkie Pie, but all she was interested in was more gumdrops. The whole pack was nearly gone. "Uhmm.." Rainbow said trying to think. "I..must confess... umm" Rainbow tried hard to think of something other then Fluttershy. She wasn't ready to confess her undying crush on her. And she knew for a fact that the others where trying to get her to do so. "I must confess I have won every race I have entered." Rainbow said with a smirk, yet this was a lie, as when she was a filly it took her ages to work her way to the top. Everypony looked disappointed, apart from Fluttershy of course. "Wow Dashie, that's amazing!" Fluttershy said grinning at her friend so big that the ends of her mouth where up to her ears. Of course this made Rainbow Dash's stomach feel all strange, as if she was riding on the love roller coaster. Rainbow Dash blushed, even though she had lied. Twilight quietly laughed to herself. She hoped that they were close to getting Rainbow to confess her love for fluttershy. Pinkie Pie went next. "I must confess, that this year I have eaten exactly 295 cupcakes in total!" she said hyper actively hopping up and down non stop on her sleeping bag. Everypony laughed at Pinkie's silly confession. Then Rarity went, then Twilight, then Applejack. And now it was Fluttershy's turn. Fluttershy brushed her mane out the way of her eyes and thought, not realizing Rainbow Dash was still staring at her helplessly. "I must confess, the reason I was absent to our normal pancake breakfast last sunday, was because I was busy helping out at the ponyville hospital, caring for sick filly's that had caught the flu or broke a bone." Fluttershy quietly said, hoping not to get a telling off by her friends. "It makes so much sense!" Rainbow said in her mind. "That's how she was so great at applying the numbing ointment on my wing and putting on the cast!" Fluttershy wasn't finished. "And after all the sick ponies were ok, one of my animals was upset because no one was including him at the sanctuary, and so I stayed with him." Fluttershy said, trying to bury herself in her mane. Rainbow couldn't believe she was hearing this. Fluttershy's confession didn't help Rainbow's trip on the love roller coaster one bit, in fact, Rainbow loved her even more then she previously did. She thought Fluttershy was the most caring pony ever, she didn't have a reason not to love her. She's beautiful, she's clever, she's caring and her element is kindness." "Gee Fluttershy. That was a sweet confession!" Twilight said, putting her hoof around her friend. "SWEET?!" Rainbow yelled hopping from her sleeping bag onto Fluttershy's. "It was sweeter then sweet! It was the most awesomeness, most epic, most spectacular confession EVER!" Rainbow squealed, pouncing onto her crush, trapping her in a tight hug. Which hurt Rainbow's wing, but she didn't care. Everypony was looking at one another grinning, knowing that Rainbow had just admitted her crush for Fluttershy without having to say it. The thing that nopony knew at that moment, was that underneath Fluttershy's mane, the yellow pegasus was blushing. It was Rainbow Dash's turn. Everypony went silent and stared at her. Rainbow was still holding Fluttershy tight. And blushing so out of control that she wasn't even thinking of her actions. Suddenly, Rainbow said it. She said what everypony was waiting for.. "I must confess..." "I have a crush on Fluttershy" > Love Is In The Air (Chapter 4 - Final Chapter) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everypony went silent. Twilight was staring, Rarity was staring, Applejack was staring, and Pinkie Pie wasn't even eating any of her sour gumdrops. Fluttershy had never looked so surprised in her life. Her cheeks were pinkier then pinkie pies mane. Her mane was somewhat covering her right eye, and then she broke a tiny smile, looking down at the ground. Twilight and Rarity started whispering, then brought in Applejack and pinkie in the whisper. "I think I should go put spike to bed." Twilight said walking out of the room. "I think I left my sleeping cap in my bags in the hall." Applejack said walking out of the room. "I should go to the bathroom and brush my teeth." Rarity said walking out of the room. "I need to go get more gumdrops!" Pinkie squeaked hopping out of the room. The only two ponies left in the room were the love birds, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. The two pegasi were silent and blushing for a solid 5 minutes. Until Rainbow Dash broke the silent. "I-I can't hold it in anymore Fluttershy.." Rainbow said, reaching to her crush and brushing her mane out of her eyesight. "I have never had a friend as awesome as you... I realized that tonight.. when I broke my wing.." Rainbow said, not loosing eye contact with the blushing pegasus. Rainbow continued. "Your beautiful, your kind and caring, it got to me at your confession, you will always lend a hoof, especially is theres a pony in need of mental care or cheering up, your also smart and would make a perfect doctor. When you applied the ointment on my wing.. I felt a tingle go through my body.. and I started blushing.. I couldn't help not staring into your beautiful green eyes all evening. I felt the love. I felt like I've never felt before..." then Rainbow stopped, going closer to Fluttershy, and finally, Rainbow said the words. "I.. I love you Fluttershy.." Fluttershy listened, her cheeks were so pink from blushing. And as the last words were spoke from the blue pegasus, Fluttershy took a move that she will never regret. She leaned in, and gave Rainbow Dash a kiss on her cheek. Rainbow Dash felt the tingle rush through her body, and couldn't believe what just happened. Fluttershy reached over and hugged Rainbow Dash tighter then any of Pinkie Pie's hugs. "I-I've been waiting for this day ever since I met you Dashie.." Fluttershy said looking into Rainbows eyes. "Your the most amazing pony I've ever met.. I've always loved your rainbow mane and your amazing personality.. we may be different but that will never change the way I feel about you dash. I love you to." After the words were spoke by the two pegasi.. they found that they were floating in the air. They both reached for the other and hugged. And then, just as the others peered through the door, they kissed passionately. "Love is in the air" Twilight said, putting her arm around Pinkie, and pinkie put hers around rarity, and rarity put hers around Applejack. "They're the cutest couple ever." Rarity whispered Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash slept in Twilights bed that night, and in the morning, the found themselves hugging. They kissed once more, and said simultaneously "Will you marry me?" The End
