“R-r-rainbow D-dash, h-how much l-l-longer?” Fluttershy asked through her shivers as this wind blowing her mane back was making her increasingly colder.

“Just a few more seconds, Fluttershy.  I’m almost done,” Rainbow Dash responded as she continued her work.

“B-but I’m, f-f-f-freezing.” Fluttershy couldn’t see anything thanks to the blindfold, but all she had to do was hold as still as possible.  This would normally be easy for her to do, but holding still in the middle of a cold wind for about an hour was not.

“Aaand, done!” The mention of those words warmed Fluttershy’s shivering body as she immediately stepped away from the wind.

“Oh, thank Celestia. I thought I was gonna turn into a pegacicle.” Fluttershy released a sigh of relief at the fresh scent of warm air heating up her coat again.  She soon felt a cyan hoof on her features, leading her to walk somewhere.  She did as she was led to do. It wasn’t long until she was stopped and felt hooves running through her blindfold.

“And, tada!” Rainbow Dash said as she removed the blindfold.  “What do ya think?”

The first sight that came to Fluttershy’s eyes wasn’t what she expected at all.  “Oh… my… um…” She cleared her throat.  “Why did I have to hold still in that cold wind?”

“Because Fluttershy,” Rainbow paused and booped Fluttershy’s nose.  “Your beauty, inspires me.”

Fluttershy couldn’t help but blush at the words and gesture.  The painting before her was a portrait of the two of them flying together, but at fast speeds.  They held hooves right as they broke the sound barrier, creating a double Sonic Rainboom effect that tore through the clouds between them.  In fact, it looked like Fluttershy was flying just as fast as Rainbow Dash in that picture.

“Oh, Rainbow Dash, it’s beautiful, but I could never pull off a Sonic Rainboom.”

“Hey, I can dream can’t I?  Why do you think I want you to be a better flier?”

Fluttershy giggled.  She never believed that she would ever be able to do something like this, but she wouldn’t go against Rainbow’s dream.

Rainbow Dash turned Fluttershy’s face to her and pulled Fluttershy into a deep kiss. Her warm embrace was utter bliss to Fluttershy.  Tomorrow she would show her own dream to Rainbow Dash.  But for right now, she was enjoying Rainbow Dash expressing her dream.

The next day came and Fluttershy painted her portrait of her and Rainbow in her own dream fantasy.  Rainbow Dash’s reaction resulted in her face flushing red to the point Fluttershy couldn’t help but giggle.

“F-fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash shouted in response to that giggle.

“I-I-I’m so-orry, Das-shie.  You just look sooo cute!”

Fluttershy brushed Rainbow’s multi-colored mane as they looked at her portrait together.  The brushing soothed Rainbow Dash’s tense embarrassment and her tail couldn’t help but swish around as she relaxed in that gentle touch.

Fluttershy had painted them together like before, but Rainbow Dash was a cute tiny breezie being held in Fluttershy’s hoof while they both looked into each other’s eyes with the cutest smiles.
