//------------------------------// // Something Worth // Story: Something Worth // by MoonSkies //------------------------------// Valentine's Day, a day of romantic love where everybody gives cards, letters, flowers or presents to their loved ones. People who would like to have a romantic relationship with somebody may use the occasion to make this known, often anonymously. Everyone in Canterlot High were excited for this day. Well, all except for a certain Purple Girl. Twilight breathed steadily, trying to keep herself calm. This is the perfect day to do this. To confess her love to her, but she wasn't sure if she would feel the same. She always felt her heart and mind go crazy when she set her eyes on a certain rainbow haired gal. Rainbow Dash, her Best friend. Twilight secretly loved and admired Rainbow. When someone would pick on her, Rainbow always stood up for Twilight. Rainbow Dash never left Twilight or her friends behind. 'Come on, Twilight, you can do it,'Twilight reassured herself, standing in front of the school. She stared at the letter envelope which held inside a heart shaped paper. The envelope had the words 'To Rainbow Dash' written in the seven colors of the rainbow. "I'm scared..." Twilight muttered, gulping afterwards. She knew Rainbow perfectly. Bold, sporty, brave, competitive, free-spirited, confident, and most important: Loyal. She would help anyone without hessitation. But the main problem is if she would date a girl who's a completly bookworm? Twilight wasn't like Rainbow. She was a nerd who studies, and doesn't do sports. What if she doesn't want to be with Twilight because of those flaws? Twilight shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous, Twilight She doesn't judge people like that." She always remembered the day when she meet her. 4 years Ago... It was the first day of school.Twilight was very scared,What if someone will bully her again? What if they don't like me? The what ifs where running through her head She didn't realized where she was going. *BUMP* "I'm so sorry,I didn't see where I was going-" Twilight said while picking up her books but She got hushed when That Rainbow girl put a hand to her mouth. "It's okay..uhh ?" She looked confused giving a better look to me "Are you new here?" "Yes, I-I am." Twilight replied still got a confused look of her waiting for a name. "My name's Twilight sparkle." "Heh Great name ! My name's Rainbow dash." "Wanna go to school together?" Rainbow dash asked. "Sure" Twilight said feeling a little comfortable. Since that day we've got Friends. Best friends. As the time passed, Twilight began to see Rainbow Dash as more than a friend, and more than a sister. She kept these feeling in secret for more than 1 year and now this is the time. She took a deep breath as an uncharacteristic confident look spread across her face and entered the building to search for Rainbow. She really wanted to confess her feelings for the athletic woman. Now. She just had to talk to her and- "Hey Twilight!" Twilight squeaked, freezing in place upon hearing that cheerful voice. Goosebumps are now over 9000, her cheeks were blazing and her hearbeat getting faster than before. All the confidence disappeared in an instant. 'Here goes nothing,' She turned around and immediatly hid the envelope behind her back. Rainbow Dash was walking down towards her with her backpack over her shoulder, and sporting a big, friendly smile on her face. "Hello, Rainbow," Twilight greeted, chuckling nervously. "Sup, Twi," Rainbow greeted back. Twilight felt butterflies starting to flutter around in her stomach just at seeing that sweet smile of hers. "H-How was your d-day?" She asked and sweat started to form on her forehead. Rainbow shrugged. "Nothing important. My grades are still good, so no big deal. What about You?" "I... I been busy," Twilight replied, her eyes shifting back and forth. "What are you gonna do today?" "Nothing," Rainbow simply said, oblivious to her nervousness. A look of confusion washed over her face, her nervousness completely disappeared. "Nothing?" Rainbow shook her head. "Nope, nothing. To be honest, Valentine's Day and I don't mix." "Um... And why is that?" Twilight curiously asked. "I don't like Valentine's Day," Rainbow replied, folding her arms across her chest. "I just don't care for it." "Oh..." Twilight lowered her head in disappointment. If she doesn't liked the day, then that only meant the sad truth. Noticing her expression, Rainbow gave her a soft smile and she gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Twi, just because I don't like Valentine's Day it doesn't mean you can't or anyone else," she said reassuringly. Then a curious look washed over her face. "Speaking of which, has anyone asked you to be their valentine?" Twilight shook her head. "No. I... I'm planning to ask to someone." Her eyes widened at hearing that. She always thought that Twilight wasn't that kind of person who enjoyed a day like Valentine's Day, but now this was quite a shocker. "Oh, who's the lucky gal?" Rainbow asked in curiosity and gave a teasing smirk to her. Her cheeks flushed. "Um... I don't know if I should tell you." "It's alright if you tell me, Twi," Rainbow Dash said as she patted her shoulder. "I won't tell anyone." Twilight felt her blood run warm. "You really want to know?" "Cross my heart, hope to fly and stick a cupcake in my eye," Rainbow smiled, wanting to know Twilight's special gal as she did the movements of the Pinkie Promise. She let out a soft sigh and carefully held out the envelope to Rainbow. Rainbow Dash was standing like a statue, her magenta eyes widened, her jaw slack and her cheeks were all red. She stared at the envelope with her name on it while Twilight felt butterflies flutter around in her stomach again. "Oh..." that was all she said before grabbing the envelope, opening it slowly and began to read it. To Rainbow Dash We've been friends since 6th grade, and today I really want you to know that I love you with all my heart. Whenever I was bullied, you always stood up for me. I'll never forget the day we met, when you saved me from Sunset Shimmer,Trixie. I always thought of you as a sister, but as the time passed, I began to see you as more than a buddy. I don't know how can I describe this feeling. Will you be my Valentine? Sincerly Twilight Rainbow Dash slowly scrolled her eyes through the paper. After reading the letter, Rainbow looked at her with that same shocked look. "You... Y-You like me?" she quietly asked. Twilight slowly nodded, shyly looking away. "After... All of these years?" Rainbow asked again. Another slow nod. Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around Twilight, catching her off guard. A blush bigger than before appeared on her face when she realized that the arms belonged to- "Rainbow Dash?" The next thing that really surprised Twilight was one that she'll never forget for the rest of her life Rainbow Dash placed her hand on the side of Twilight's face, looked deeply into her eyes, and then pressed her lips against her. A big rosy blush took over Twilight's face, almost aghast at what was happening. Soon she began to embrace this new feeling. Her lips felt so tender, so... warm. Rainbow wrapped her arms around her back while Twilight hesitantly settled her hands on Rainbow’s neck. After a long minute that seemed like forever, they finally broke the kiss and the two stared into each other's eyes. "Rainbow... You..." Twilight stammered. "Yes," she softly finished for him. "I'm not gonna lie. Since we've meet, I also felt the same." "R-Really?" Twilight asked, feeling both happy and nervous. Rainbow gave him a sheepish smile and nodded. "Yeah. I mean, you're cute, you're kind and... I don't know what else to say. I love you,Twilight." Twilight only softly smiled as Rainbow Dash did the same. "About today, I lied. I planned to give this to you," Rainbow softly said as she pulled out a chocolate bar from her pocket. Twilight couldn't help but smile warmly at this. This was just like 2 year ago. The chocolate bar was carefully wrapped in a red ribbon and had the words 'To Twilight Sparkle' written in Purple. She kindly took the chocolate bar and they smiled affectionately at each other. Rainbow gave him a tender kiss on the cheek while Twilight blushed once again. "Do you have any plans tomorrow night?" Rainbow asked. "No," Twilight shook her head, then she gave her a soft smile. "But now that you mention it, do you want to go on a date with me?" Rainbow smirked and gave her one last quick peck on the lips. "Heck yeah."
