The 25 Days Of Hearth's Warming
Day 19: What To Buy, What To Buy
Sparkle Productions
Rainbow and Soarin went into a small shop, Trendy's On-Trend Shop: Find Something For Any Occasion. There were clothes, trinkets, toys, and even candles. Dash looked around for gifts for her friends, a bright blue pony trotted up to her; she had her green and purple mane in a crazy spiky style. She wore a black and white checked scarf. "Hi, I'm Trendy. Trendy Apparel. Welcome to my shop! Need help?"
"Nah, I'm just looking around. What to buy, what to buy," Dash casually said, before murmuring to herself, not paying much attention to Trendy, that is, until she felt her watching her. "Do you mind?”
Trendy stared back with her green eyes, "You sure you don't need help? What about with picking out a present for your hot coltfriend?" She bounced her eyebrows suggestively.
Dash quickly turned red, "What?! No! No! You have it all wrong! And he's not hot, he's just my friend! He'll never be my coltfriend! I'm too cool for that anyway!"
"That doesn't mean you don't wish he was," she laughed, "shoulda seen your face! You are so more than friends. Let your good friend Trendy hook you up with a present that expresses how you truly feel inside." With a hoof, she beckoned Dash's face closer to hers, "By the way, you're friends with Celestia, right?" Dash shook her head, "Then you should thank her that your 'friend' is so hot. Don't deny it."
"N-No. He is not, and I repeat, is not hot. Just help me pick out a present."
"Yeah, whatever you say."

Soarin and Rainbow came out of Trendy's shop with at least 15 bags counted together. "I think I found something you'd totally want," Dash said.
"Oh, really? I think I found something you'd like too," Soarin grinned. This was the first time Dash had noticed that Soarin actually was pretty attractive. She blushed at the thought before shaking her head violently to try to clear her head of it."Are you okay Rainbow?"
"Yeah, of course I am," Dash lied. He gave her a kind charming smile and she found fuzzy feelings that were hard to identify. What was the new feeling? "Of course I am," she said to herself quietly. The walk home felt awkward; she walked home with her head hung low, not wanting those thoughts to resurface themselves. Her face stayed a bright red as what Trendy said kept on repeating itself in her mind. "That doesn't mean you don't wish he was," did she really wish that? Did she, did she really? And if she did, how could she confess those feelings? After all, her tough ponysona always said she didn't need a coltfriend. But was what her ponysona always said really what she felt?
Soarin glanced at his friend. She looked cute with the fiery blush on her cheeks, not that he would ever admit that to her; that is, unless he wanted to get beaten up. But, he did admit that he had a small crush on her since the gala. But he knew since the beginning of it that he never stood a chance, however, that was okay because that didn't mean he couldn't like her from afar. After all, that was better than nothing. Especially since she wouldn't reciprocate his feelings even a little bit. Not ever. The awesome Rainbow Dash didn't and never would fall in love.
