Flitter gently rapped her hooves against the table grinning slightly. Rainbow Dash couldn't stop her own grin as she watched. Normally Flitter didn't allow herself such public displays of joy. Flitter noticed the look, frowning at her marefriend. "What? I have butter on my face?"
Rainbow Dash shook her head, chuckling gently. "No, no, I'm just... Happy to be out here with you. It's nice to see you happy."
Flitter frowned a little deeper at the statement. Taking umbrage with it. "Hey! I'm happy!" At Rainbow Dash's flat stare Flitter grumbled. "Happy enough."
Rainbow Dash grinned a bit and pushed her hoof against Flitter's chest. "I know Flitter. I just like getting to see it." Flitter smiled at her for a few more moments before pushing Dash's hoof off of her. She still wasn't a fan of public displays of affection.
But Flitter's frown did turn into a small smile. "Don't go getting all sappy on me Rainbow Dash."
Rainbow Dash grinned mischievously at her marefriend adopting an obviously fake, preening voice. "Oh, but Flitter, I wanted to talk about our feeeeeeeelings. Like how it feeeeeeeeeels when we're out together and you say things like... 'Oh, Rainbow Dash, I wish we could... stay at home and make cookies allllll day." Rainbow Dash made a face and Flitter snickered.
"You started that one before you thought of anything clever to say didn't you?" Rainbow Dash's only response was to stick out her tongue at the other mare. "Well, it's a good thing I'm not dating you for your brains."
Rainbow Dash snickered and repeated her earlier action of sticking her tongue out at her marefriend. "You've used that one before."
"That's because it's a classic. Not that you'd be familiar with the classics."
Rainbow Dash actually let out a small snort at that one, grinning. "You're on point tonight, Flitter." As Flitter opened her mouth Rainbow Dash cut her off. "You don't need to emphasize that one. Peace?"
Flitter grinned and nodded, looking over the menu herself. "Hm... What do you think you'll be getting tonight?"
Rainbow Dash frowned down at the menu. "Uh... Remind me, do they have lasagna?"
Flitter snickered a little but shook her head. "No, it's Prench food, Dash."
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes then thought of a great distraction for Flitter. "Hey, Flitter, how much do you think it'd run me to get them to slip an engagement necklace onto your plate?"
At that Flitter actually blushed gently and hissed at Rainbow Dash. "You wouldn't dare!"
Rainbow Dash chuckled, nodding a little. "I wouldn't, you'd kill me in my sleep." Flitter made a small grunt that wasn't quite a disagreement. "And besides, I have a feeling you'd like to be talked to before I asked?"
Flitter blinked then smiled, nodding. "Yes, I would Dash. I... Credit, Dash. I didn't think you'd have thought of that."
Rainbow Dash smiled a little wider, 'credit' was as close as Flitter got in public to thanking Dash for being thoughtful. Flitter didn't like to let on that emotional things might bother her. "Though I will say, I wouldn't be upset if you..." She made sure to adopt a smirk instead of a smile so that Flitter knew she was joking.
Flitter scoffed a bit and shook her head. "I do believe we touched on this before the party... Only if you're willing to throw me a bigger party."
Nodding, and playing along Rainbow Dash smiled. "Oh, I promise you that it'd be bigger than Applejack's party. I mean, I'm not gonna get outdone by some farmpony." Rainbow Dash grinned and tilted her head to the side. "Though of course my princess would have most the say."
Flitter was actually caught off guard by the new nickname. "Princess? Well, that's new. Do I get any new privileges with this title?"
Rainbow Dash leaned back in her chair. "Well... I could see the way to letting you have the kitchen... Sleeping in my bed... Probably let you stay at my place free of charge... Maybe buying you some more croissants... Oh! Croissants are Prench!" And with that Rainbow Dash dove back into the menu to find said dessert.
Though Flitter normally would have snickered at the other mare for such a reaction she couldn't. Mainly because she was doing the exact same thing at the moment. "I've never had a croissant from here. I bet they're delicious!" The two mares spent a few minutes chatting happily about the delicious pastry before they finally decided what to order. Putting their menus down they waited for the waiter.
"Did you see what I saw when I walked in?" Rainbow Dash grinned as she asked her question, if not, Flitter was going to be flabbergasted.
Flitter thought for a moment but couldn't think of anything unusual so she shook her head. "No. What?"
Rainbow Dash grinned. "Welll... I saw Octavia and Fluttershy having dinner."
Flitter gave a half shrug and smiled, apparently, Rainbow Dash didn't know all of Fluttershy's secrets. "So what? They probably met and Octavia's just being friendly or something. Fluttershy has a thing for somepony else."
At that Rainbow Dash nodded. "Well yeah, she has a thing for Muffins, but mares can change their minds, or maybe Muffins is taken or something."
Flitter still was unconcerned, assuming that Fluttershy was just out with a friend. Besides, if it was a new relationship Flitter would have certainly heard about it. "Well she didn't mention anything so I don't think it's anything. Unless they met up at last night's party." After a moment of silence, and with Rainbow Dash still grinning Flitter nodded her head slightly. "Ok." She raised a hoof. "I still doubt it Rainbow Dash! But..." She shrugged, Rainbow Dash might be right.
Rainbow Dash didn't get to respond as a loud, obviously angry, voice rang out through the restaurant. "That cannot be my daughter cavorting with some common trollop!"
Both ponies turned to look and saw a very angry, older mare storming through the doors, followed closely by a stallion.
