Chapter 6:

Meanwhile Fluttershy had spent most of her day thinking about the story that Twilight had let her read yesterday. It was uncanny how similar the story was to her current situation. The Bold yet reclusive Hound struggled with her feelings for the Shy and quiet Mare. Two vastly different worlds so far apart united by a powerful bond of friendship that blossomed into love. Fluttershy went over many versions of how to tell her best friend that she loved her. Nevertheless she just couldn’t muster enough courage to Twilight how she felt. So instead she busied herself with household chores. She went to her weekly spa date with Rarity who didn’t seem that interested in the story. Yet still as the day progressed she found the less she could suppress her feelings.

“I LOVE YOU TWILIGHT SPARKLE!” She finally burst out in what was a whisper but for Fluttershy was a full blown yell in her cottage. 

The words hung there like icicles in the cold. Something about saying the words out loud bot scared and excited Fluttershy at the same time. It was liberating in a way but deathly terrifying at the same time. A small white Rabbit hopped up into her lap and offered some comfort.

“What should I do Angel Bunny?” she asked the white ball of fur that hopped off her lap and began to pantomime using a carrot as a prop.

“You think I should kiss a carrot?” she asked. The frustrated rabbit threw the carrot down.

“I should give her a carrot?” she asked again missing the message. The frustrated rabbit stormed off angrily leaving Fluttershy confused. 

“Well that was kind of Huffy Angel!” she called out to the rabbit which had disappeared from view.

Anyways. She thought. I need to clean out the hen house. She walked outside and stood for a minute admiring the setting sun.  She then ventured into the hen house armed with a broom.

“Hello ladies time for a quick spring cleaning! She said as she began to sweep up the hen house.

Night was falling over Ponyville. Shades of Indigo blanketed the night sky. Punctuating the darkness were stars shinning like diamonds in the rough.  Meanwhile inside Fluttershy’s cottage Flutter shy lay on the couch in a deep meditation after her bath. Her pink mane was neatly brushed and smelled of daisies and sunflowers. Her butter yellow coat glowed in the moonlight that seeped in from her windows. Finally Fluttershy was at peace. A strong knock on the door jolted her out of her trance. She walked to the door and her clock struck 10pm. Hmmm. She thought. Awfully late for a visit. She reached the door as another loud knock resonated from the oak door.

“Just a minute.” she said opening the door without even checking to see who was there.

There bathed in the moonlight stood Twilight. Her lilac colored coat shining in the night.  Even the violet and pink streaks in her mane were standing out majestically in this light. Fluttershy stared for a long minute. Then after finding her voice she whispered.

“Evening Twilight!

“Hey Fluttershy I was wondering if you’d like to go for a walk tonight. I need to talk to you about something important.” Twilight said a sense of urgency in her voice.

“Well…” Fluttershy pawed at the ground “Ok I actually could use a nice walk tonight.” She said in her usual whisper.

Fluttershy Followed Twilight in silence for a minute. Her mind though was going crazy. This is MY Chance! She thought. The night was gorgeous and Twilight looked amazing. Fluttershy could smell Twilight’s mane which smelled of Lilac and violets. YES she thought. Somehow some way she would tell Twilight tonight! A smile crossed her lips with the last thought her fear of rejection melting into the night.
