(Cloudsdale)

(One day before college graduation Rainbow Dash approaches Fluttershy with something on her mind that she needs to get off her chest. Fluttershy however, has something to say to her as well, she can never find the right time to confess, but thinks it's the right time to tell now)

"Hey Fluttershy." (Rainbow Dash rubs the back of her head blushing)

"Oh Rainbow Dash. Y...you startled me. I didn't see you there."

"There's uhm something I wanted to tell you. I could just never find the right time to tell you."

(Fluttershy looks confused and starts to think about telling Rainbow Dash her crush that she has for her) "It's ok. Uhm, Dashy can this wait I have to go to the guidance councilors office to fill out my recommendation to go to Ponyville University."

"Wait your going to Ponyville University? My parents want me to go to Cloudsdale University and major in political science, but I really wanna become a wonderbolt."

"Dashy. You shouldn't do what others expect you to do, do whatever your heart most most desires. Do the things Dashy wants to do. (Fluttershy puts her hoof on Rainbow's chest) Oh my Celestia! I'm late. Sorry Dashy we can continue this at graduation practice. See you there. (She runs off to the guidance councilors office)

(Rainbow Dash watches Fluttershy trot off daydreaming about her not knowing that the bell already rung. "Oh shoot, I'm late." She flies off to graduation practice and takes her place in line looking around for Fluttershy who appears to be up ahead in the line. Rainbow calls out to her, "Fluttershy!" Looking to the back of the line she seeing Rainbow waving her hoof trying to get attention. She gets out the line and goes to where Rainbow is at)

"Hey Fluttershy. I just waned to tell you thanks for what you said to me, about following my heart."

"That's what friends are for Dashy."

"I can't believe we're graduating this Wednesday. It feels like we've been in this community college in forever, but we still have two more years in another college to finish school. I can't wait."

"I know. Have you figured out which college your be going to? You've excepted into so many already."

"I haven't decided yet. I'm thinking about going Las Pegasus University, but something (or some pony) is making me want to stay here."

"What do you mean?"

"N...nothing."

(The instructor pulls Fluttershy out of the line and puts her back in her place in line, while the whole class practices coming on stage and taking their degree from the professors hoofs, just before it was time to practice giving individual speeches. Rainbow Dash thought about her speech and what she was going to say, then having an idea that will make her confession to Fluttershy even more special. Minutes before the bell rings for a day complete Fluttershy asks Rainbow Dash if she would like to come over to to her house for a sleepover)

"Fluttershy, I would love to come over for a sleepover. Your parents are always so laid back and calm not like my parents who are always so energetic."

"Hehe, I see where you get your personality from Dashy (giggles)."

"Hey! Oh I get it haha."

"Come on, we can go now since the bell just rung. You didn't have any plans did you? I wouldn't want you to postpone whatever you had to do."

"Oh no no. I didn't have any plans. I'm completely free."

"Oh good. Come on lets go."

(They both head over to Fluttershy's place, looking into the kitchen as they walk in they notice a plate full of cookies with a note right beside the plate that says "Fluttershy, your father and I had to leave town for important business matters. we won't be home until Friday. Enjoy the cookies. Sorry for leaving so soon the day before your graduation. Love Mom")

"Well I guess my parents are out of town. Figures, they are always busy. They don't have time for their darling daughter." (She looks down to the floor)

"Hey. You are worth being everywhere with. Their the ones missing out on having a great time with you. I...I love Fluttershy. I always have. Ever since we met in first grade. I just didn't know how to tell you, but I thought right now would be the best time to tell you."

"Dashy. (She blushes) I have a crush on you too. I just didn't know how or when to tell you either. Let's get you situated in my room first, then we can talk."

(They both walk upstairs to Fluttershy's room, setting up a sleeping bag for Rainbow Dash, while thinking about their feelings for each other)

"I know we both have feeling for each other, but why don't we take things slow and see where life brings us. Don't get me wrong Dashy I love you and I love spending time with you, but I have to focus on life. Maybe if you we're going to the same University as me I would consider it, but you haven't gotten the acceptance letter to Ponyville University or did you?"

"No I didn't."

"We can still be friends Dashy and maybe once we're done with college maybe we can be in a place more romantic. You get what I'm saying?"

"Yeah, of course. I understand you completely."

"Thanks for understanding Dashy. Come on we have to get some rest for tomorrow. Night Dashy."

"Night Fluttershy"

(They both go to sleep for the night, Rainbow Dash thinking about what Fluttershy said before she fell fast asleep. By the morning Rainbow Dash wakes up just before Fluttershy and quietly leaves her house, flying quickly back to her house to check the mailbox. She opens the mailbox and notices a letter. Before opening up the letter she takes a deep breath and hopes it's a acceptance letter to Ponyvillie university. She goes in house and gets a knife from the kitchen and starts to cut open the envelope. She reads the first line. "Rainbow Dash, you have been accepted to Ponyville University." She jumps up in the air with so much happiness, but just remembered she had to get ready for graduation. So she goes to take a shower just before putting on her cap and gown. )

(Back at Fluttershy's house)

"Good morning Rainbow....Oh she must've went back home to get ready for graduation."

(Back at school, an 5 minutes before the ceremony starts, Rainbow Dash goes over her speech and what she's going to say while the other ponies take selfies and signing each others cap. The music starts to play as the doors swing wide open as the graduates start to walk down the middle aisle going to take their seats in the front of the audience. Everyone sits down as the principal and some of the professors say their speeches just before the graduates come up. Three other graduates finish their speeches now it was Rainbow Dash's turn. As she walked on the stage she was so nervous all she did was look down at Fluttershy's face as she said her speech)

" Cloudsdale Community College is a place where professors encouraged us to break the status quo and define ourselves as we choose. It's a place where one person, if it's the right person, changes us all. Cloudsdale Community College is about having friends we’ll keep for the rest of our lives, and that means we really are all in this together. I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. Ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear, I'm free, I have no secrets and I know I'll always be ok, because no matter what, I know who I am. I didn't know this until now, thanks to a dear friend of mine. Which is why I chose the college that is exactly 5.8 miles from you. (She looks down at Fluttershy) Fluttershy! Ponyville University, Zoology."

(Fluttershy gets up to go and join Rainbow Dash on stage.)

"You got accepted?"

"Just got the letter this morning."

(Fluttershy kisses Rainbow Dash on the cheek as the whole class gets up to stand on stage as the principal congratulate us as the "Class of 2010". Everyone throws their caps up in the air and cheering, while Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash kiss)
