//------------------------------// // A Prank Gone Right // Story: A Harmful Prank // by voidless //------------------------------// ....Wow. My first (good) story was actually asked to have a sequel... Enjoy! Fluttershy's POV _________________________________________________________________________ We were on out way to breakfast....at least that's what Rainbow said. She really was my best friend. After she scared me and I ran away she came to comfort me. She wasn't even mad at me for falling asleep on her wing! My heart fluttered with joy at the thought. She had to stretch of her wing after that though....I really hope I didn't hurt it. She still had the both of them stretched out fully though. I hope she doesn't decide to fly the rest of the way. I wanted to spend as much time as I could being right next to her. But if she decided to fly, then there was no way I could keep up with her. We kept on walking until we hit town. On the way she told me again that she was sorry for scaring me. I told her it was fine. Anything that got me closer to Rainbow Dash was like a blessing for me! I wish that I had gotten a little bit more sleep though. I was tired enough to sleep through anything. I stopped thinking about Rainbow when we made it to the Pony Café. "Where do you want to sit?" I hear her ask me. She wants me to choose? Why is she letting me choose? She knows I have trouble deciding... Calm down Fluttershy. "Oh um... you know, wherever you want to sit is fine." "Are you sure Fluttershy? I'm cool with it if you want to sit somewhere else." She says to me. Rainbow just now placed her wings on her body. "Oh, of course I'm fine with it Rainbow. We can sit anywhere you want to" Stay calm...I can't let Rainbow know how I feel about her! She's not gay....and even if she was, she could get dozens of better ponies than me. Oh Fluttershy, you're so selfish. After another minute of talking, Rainbow had decided to sit us near the front of the store. Right in front of the street. We had settled down at our table and looked at the small menu that was on the table. I let her read it first. Be kind....I don't want to seem like a jerk to Rainbow. I heard a voice call out in the distance "Hey Fluttershy!" I looked behind me and saw Twilight. Great....I was always happy to be with my friends...but now I can't spend as much time with Rainbow Dash. "Oh, Hey Twi. Whats up?" I hear Rainbow Dash say. Hopefully I will still have some time with Rainbow after breakfast... "Nothing really, just getting a new book. Oh, I can see that you got Fluttershy out of her house. What was wrong Fluttershy?" She asked me... I don't want to embarrass Rainbow Dash. "Oh um...nothing really. I guess I just...overreacted." I told her. Rainbow Dash looked a little surprised I didn't tell her what really happened. "Oh okay then. I'm just glad that you're okay! Well, I've got to go get my book. See you two later!" She said to us. I watched her as she walked away. "Why did you lie?" Rainbow asked me. "I just....um..." I trailed off. "Never mind. Thanks though." Rainbow said to me with a smile. That was a reason that I liked her so much. She was kind and strong and sweet...No no...don't think of Rainbow like that. She'd hate me if I told her how I felt... I'm so stupid sometimes... For the rest of the hour we ordered and ate. We also talked about some things. Mainly what Rainbow Dash wanted to. Like flying, The Wonderbolts, and several other things like that. I didn't mind listening to her at all. It was nice to hear about how she was doing in her new tricks and how she might be able to impress Spitfire... She was really in to all of that stuff... The kind of stuff that I wasn't good at. I couldn't fly, I couldn't do anything like that. It was just more proof that there was no way she could like me. "So what do you want to talk about Fluttershy?" She asked me. Did I just imagine that? She wanted to hear about my boring stories...She probably didn't want to hear anything about how I saved a bunny rabbit yesterday...or anything like that. I may not be able to relate to her stories, but at least they're interesting. "Oh, you don't want to hear about my stories Rainbow" I told her honestly. "Why wouldn't I? You listened to mine." She told me. "Well, um I don't really have much to talk about. Well...I guess I better be getting home. Angel needs me." I told her. "Why cant we do something together? I've got nothing to do today" She wants to spend time with me? Why me? What could I possibly do with her? I answered her question quickly, "Um...if you want to I can. What do you want to do?" Hopefully it isn't flying. "Well, I guess we can do what you want." She told me. She wanted to go somewhere with me? She even wanted me to choose what to do? I've got nothing to do. Most of the time I'm caring after angel or helping animals. What could I do with Rainbow Dash? I guess I could watch her do tricks... is there really nothing that we like to do together? "Well, I guess I could watch you do some tricks or help you practice...you know, if you want to." "Are you sure Fluttershy?" She asked me. She was probably surprised that I offered to watch her fly. "Of course Rainbow. Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, it's just that I you aren't the best flyer." I felt a little saddened. I know I am not that good, but it still hurts to be told it. She must have noticed my sudden emotion. "Wait, I didn't mean it that way. Here, how about we do anything you want to do." She tried to spare my feelings... she's even letting me pick what to do today. Even if we can't be more than friends, I'm glad that we can be just that. In the end we decided to do something we both wanted to do. Mainly talking. It was enjoyable listening to her talk about all of her tricks and stunts. Before I knew it, hours passed. "Goodnight Fluttershy" She told me. We had just made it to my house. Rainbow had also given me a good bye hug. I was glad she was my friend. "Good night Rainbow. Thank you for spending the day with me." I told her. Who knows...maybe we can spend more time tomorrow. "No problem Shy! I enjoyed it a lot! Maybe we can hang out tomorrow!" She told me as I watched her fly off. I walked inside and went to my bed. The prank may have made me cry, but at least it got me closer to Rainbow. Maybe the prank had gone right... "Goodnight Angel." I told him as I walked by. He didn't even move. He was already asleep. And soon, I would be to.
