After several days alone with a bundle of joy, Rarity is ready to quit.

If only Fluttershy comes home in time...

Another Flarity prompt that went a little out of bounds and ended up here.
Enjoy.

When Rarity sees Fluttershy with a bad mane day, what does she do? Why fix it of course! But as she is fixing the mess, she can't help but have a strange feeling take over.

A short little romance about Rarity and Fluttershy's trip to a hot spring in lieu of their weekly spa date. Will Fluttershy be able to overcome the voice inside her head telling her she's not good enough?

Fluttershy tries to build up the courage to show Rarity there's a certain plant above her in a special way.

Fluttershy is among the first Equestrians to receive the new telephones Princess Twilight Sparkle has just developed. It's a new addition to the shy mare's life, and an exciting one at that. Still, things are not as they had been, and that phone means a lot of space that separated her from her old friends could easily be bridged.

Three years is a long time to keep loving someone, is it not?

This story was inspired by a country song, "Austin" by Blake Shelton. Suggested listening for the curious reader.

When Fluttershy has a bit to much to drink, Rarity takes her home, and Fluttershy accidentally tells her how she feels about Rarity. Coincidentally, Rarity feels the same way.
