//------------------------------// // Canterlot of Chaos - Flutterdash scene // Story: Lilly's Shipping Drabbles // by lillytheomegawolf //------------------------------// In the chaos-filled palace of Canterlot, two pegasus stallions strode along to a balcony. Since their friends were all busy for a moment and the recently gender-swapped pair found themselves alone. “Come on Fluttershy. Let's go. I need to stretch my wings.” Blitz announced. “Um... okay.” The soft reply was almost inaudible as the shy yellow pegasus shrunk a little, nervous about going flying with chaos in the air. “Look... I can hold your hoof if you need me to...just let's go, come on! I really need to stretch my wings.” “Oh... It’s okay... Y-you can go. I’m happy to stay here...” “Oh no, you don’t.” Rainbow lend down and nuzzled under the panicky stallion’s chin. “Up!” He heaved, easily lifting the bundle of shy. “Right...now. It would be really nice to have a flying buddy and I figure you’re my best friend Fluttershy, so please...” His cerise eyes shone pleadingly into his friend’s own aquamarine ones. Rainbow held out a hoof with an ever slightly annoyed look upon his face. “Okay... I guess I can...” Fluttershy nervously took the offering. The bold wasted no time in leading the shy into the sky above the chaotic city The pair hovered above the palace, Fluttershy found his gaze ensnared by how warped the once beautiful structure appeared. Hunks of stone and statues floated by while windows swirled with menacing power. “Right. Now how about you go find a nice place to sit on that tower over there and I’ll warm up. You look a little uncomfortable up here.” Dash grinned knowingly over at his acrophobic friend. The shy pegasus happily took the opportunity to glide over to the uppermost balcony. “Are you ready there Fluttershy?” The nervous stallion glanced down at the ground far below his balcony then up at his friend. A moment of silence hung in the air as he fought his nerves. “Yes...” “Are you ready to cheer your best friend on?” “Yes...” “Okay then. Let's hear it!” Fluttershy summoned up his courage then unleashed the loudest possible cheer his deep voice could muster. “Yay!” The trickster let out a groan. Even as a stallion, the soft bassy cheer was barely audible. “Well. Just... try to be louder. We gotta practice for when we’re back to normal." Fluttershy nodded in agreement, his eyes starting to wander as the powerful weather pony hovered in the air with graceful ease. The daredevil stallion took off like a speeding bullet leaving his signature rainbow trail. With his newfound strength, Blitz found unexpected power and plowed through his first choice of obstacle, a candy cloud. The annoyed pony shook himself dry once more, muttering curses under his breath. With the watchful gaze of his buttery friend below, he sped off toward another set of candy clouds. This time, Blitz remembered his new male body and zig-zagged between his targets like a Wonderbolt in action. Far below on the balcony, Fluttershy’s aquamarine eyes followed the stallion’s every move. He could feel his gaze slipping, slowly, very slowly away from the tricks to the hot form of his friend. His wings started to flutter and lift as his imagination ran away with him. Never before did Fluttershy think he would be into Stallions. But, strangely, it seemed that Rainbow Blitz was an exception. The normally sleek muscular form of the athlete was accentuated by the transformation that had been forced upon his body. Fluttershy just couldn't tear his gaze away from that flank as it darted across the sky, teasing him. The beats of powerful cyan wings were hypnotizing, adding to the amazing display. Fluttershy had to admit, the unwanted sex change had been kind to the rainbow. He was so focused on the stallions form and not his moves that it took him a few moments to realize that Blitz hovering in the air, smirking down at him. The mighty wings carried their owner on a rapid flight path toward the bashful pegasus on the balcony. Alighting, Rainbow Blitz gave his eccentric mane a swish. His smirk continued to hold as he noticed the eyes of his friend fixed upon him. Taking note of how the shy pony was squirming, Blitz decided to turn it up a notch and try to get a larger blush from his friend. Powerful wings hanging limp, the speedster slowly advanced on his nervous friend. “You know Fluttershy, you’re pretty cute for a stallion.” The reaction was instantaneous, the yellow complexion darkened considerably and the nerves showed in his voice. “Y-You mean it?” “Hay yea!” Still smirking, Blitz wrapped a muscular forehoof around his friend. The hug caused the poor thing to blush profusely as his wings subconsciously sprung outward. Yellow hooves quickly notched the feathery limbs in a futile attempt to conceal the most noticeable problem. A blue hoof stroked one of the erect appendages and Fluttershy knew he had been found out. Instead of a smart reply all the shy pony received was a heartwarming hug. Giving in to his wishes, Fluttershy hugged back. It was amazing. The warm fuzzes exploded around them making him wish Blitz would never stop. The normally shy pony nuzzled into the embrace, savoring it, drawing in the sweet, sweaty scent of his friend. He was in bliss... All too soon, his protector broke contact and the yellow stallion felt a pang of anxiety as Dash turned away, his face unreadable. ‘I hope I didn’t do anything wrong.’ Fluttershy worried. ‘Now he might be mad, if she-he’s found out then he might not want to be friends anymore.’ “Hey ‘Shy.” The over confident voice of Fluttershy’s guardian ran out in the silence. The nervous pony almost jumped sky high at the sound, electing a few filly like giggles from the athletic pony in front. Fluttershy calmed himself 'nothing's wrong. I think. I hope...' Rainbow Blitz settled down on the balcony overlooking the warped city. He was seemingly oblivious to his friends line of thought, of which Fluttershy was thankful for. “Come. Sit.” The order was not one to be disobeyed. Especially since it came from the hottest mar-stallion in Equestria who just so happened to be lounging in front of Fluttershy’s forehooves. The culprit of the nervous pony’s train of thought flicked his tail idly, enjoying the breeze despite the chaotic view. Fluttershy joined him, lying there on the edge of the balcony overlooking the city. The buttery stallion could feel his heart beating faster and faster as his nerves caused an overdose of adrenaline to be pumped through his system. Bright rosy red eyes locked Fluttershy’s timid gaze and the unfortunate pony found himself unable to tear his eyes away. ‘Even as a stallion, you are the most beautiful mare I’ve ever seen...’ Realizing his meandering thoughts mistake, he once again blushed furiously and did his best to hide behind his pretty pink mane. Rainbow Blitz was observing his shy friend out of the corner of his eye. He idly wondered what the hot yellow pegasus might be thinking about. It must be something highly personal and secret since it made him want to hide behind his mane. Probably embarrassing, he thought. Even as a stallion, Fluttershy still managed to look just about adorable, especially in her-his shy moments like this. “Hey, Flutters, relax. There’s nothing to be upset about. You okay?” Dash asked, his voice softening a little bit. A soft “eep” escaped the creamy yellow stallion as he nodded rapidly. There was no possible way he could admit to why he was feeling this way. How would he? “I...I’m alright, Rainbow... I’m just...just thinking...” “Really now,” Dash leaned closer, as a smirk settled on his features. “Bit for your thoughts, Flutters?” “Um....” Fluttershy swallowed a bit, unable to look away from his best friend’s amazing cerise eyes. Oh, this was too fun. Getting this kind of reaction out of Fluttershy, stallion or mare, was just adorably priceless. If you asked Dash why he did, he wouldn’t be able to offer an answer. But all their lives, it was just something he was admittedly curious of. “Come on Fluttershy, you can tell me!” Dash chuckled, a confident smirk adorning his features. “Oh, well... Nothing in particular, nothing...” Fluttershy replied softly, tearing his unsteady gaze away from his crush, doing his best to escape further interrogation. Tilting his head, Dash studied his longtime companion for a moment before sighing, “Okay, fine. You don’t have to tell me. But come on Fluttershy, what you have to say can’t be stupid! You know I’d listen to you.” Glancing up into those sincere, passionate cerise eyes, Fluttershy felt his heart do several backflips. Unable to respond, he nodded slowly. In turn, Dash grinned and placed a hoof on the side of the creamy yellow pony’s face in a gentle caress. It was a strange little act of affection, but he didn’t care. Fluttershy was worth it. Fluttershy couldn’t do it. He couldn’t break the moment and just tell the bold stallion in front of him how he felt. The shy pony broke contact, very reluctantly, with his companion’s beautiful rosy red eyes, gazing out over the warped city. The strong stallion beside him mirrored his actions, glancing out over the city in chaos. Tearing his own gaze from the view before them, all Dash found he could look at any further was his companion. Despite how nervous and flushed he looked, there was still that air of sweet cuteness that even as a stallion, still implemented Fluttershy. Of all the things they had experienced in their lives together, this was likely the most extreme yet the most tame. Quickly growing tired of the harsh, chaotic view, the shy pegasus let his head rest in his forehooves, closing his eyes. This really was getting to be too much for him. He wanted to be at home, with Angel bunny, the poor gender-swapped thing that she now was. To be away from the epicenter of the damage. To be far away from discord and his evil plans. A tear slowly rolled down his face, he wanted to be someplace warm and cosy... someplace with Rainbow Dash... Seeing that his companion was distressed, it yet again tore at his heart. Dash slowly scooted closer, wrapping a protective wing around Fluttershy. To further add to it, he even brought a foreleg around his thin form and nuzzled him. “Hey, you okay? I’m sorry this is real hard on you, Flutters.” The protective embrace made the shy pegasus’s heart flutter as butterflies attacked his tummy. “I-it’s okay Rainbow... I...I just want to be someplace safe and warm... with my animals... I don’t belong here. It’s dangerous and scary...” He gazed pleadingly into the stunning eyes of his longtime crush, hoping for further comfort to become available. Dash felt his heartstrings tugged all over again and hugged his companion closer to comfort him. The look in his eyes was all he needed to know. “Hey, hey, I know you. I know you’d prefer that. Tell you what, once we get this whole thing figured out, for the most part, I’ll take you home. There you can run and frolic with your little woodland creatures and have a ball.” He smiled a bit, wiping his tears from Fluttershy’s eyes. “And hey, don’t worry. You’ve still got all of us right here. And I’ll be there to protect you, Fluttershy. You’re my best friend, you know, and I’ll never let you down.” “Thank you Rainbow Dash...” He nuzzled his protector, relishing the sense of ease that washed over his quivering system at the touch. “I-I think I’ll be safer here with you...just as long as no pony hurts you....I think I’ll be okay.” Chuckling a bit, Dash grinned as he hugged his adorable friend closer. “Definitely, Flutters. Nothing’s going to happen to me!” He paused, just taking a moment to reminisce for a bit, to try to think of happier, better times. Especially in their fillyhood in Cloudsdale. How they’d always been there for each other, good times and bad. He’d always been Fluttershy’s protector, it was a part of what came when they hung out together. Many would think he would be tired of it, but in all honesty, he wasn’t. There had been times, yes, he went a little overboard in trying to get her to assert herself, all of which he regretted, but he still did like having somepony to take care of. And he would defend her honor any day. Even with this situation at hoof, it didn’t stop the warm feelings that came with hanging out with his longtime best friend. Dash felt more relaxed and at ease, without the need for speed, whenever they were together. Now that Fluttershy was feeling a lot less sad, it only made their little moment a lot better. Fluttershy snuggled in a little further, laying a wing of his own around his protector. As long as he had his rainbow, the shy pony figured that everything would be okay. Sure there had been times where all that Fluttershy wanted to do was run away and hide. But the bold cyan pegasus had always been there for him, sometimes even having to forcibly keep him by his side. “Hey, Flutters? You know I mean it, right? Nothing’s gonna stop me from protecting you, being there for you. And well, if you really need some help, you know you’ve got me to turn to.” Dash murmured to him, gently angling his face to look into his eyes. “Y-yes Rainbow... I know. If there’s anything I can do for you in return... just let me know.” He gave his bold companion a quick nuzzle, leaving his creamy muzzle pressed up against the jutting cyan jaw his best friend. Dash’s wings rose slightly. He smirked a little, his eyes narrowing. “Oh, really? Well...I can think of a few things...” He said in a suggestive tone, licking his lips and running a hoof along Fluttershy’s chin. The shy ex-mare’s wings rose in reply. ‘What is he going on about...? No... He can’t possibly...’ “You’re blushing, Fluttershy,” Dash said flirtatiously, giving his body a once-over. “And I think your feathered friends there have a few things to say...” He leaned in, breath hot on the frozen pony’s face. ‘my what!?!’ Fluttershy glanced back and a mild look of horror crossed his face. His traitorous wings were a dead giveaway, almost standing straight up. He squirmed on the spot, wanting to get away fromt the torment but unwilling to leave the safety of his friend’s protective wing. “I...I...They... don’t have anything to say...” He trailed off feeling very hot under the midday sun. A chuckle escaped the cyan pegasus before he leaned up and nibbled Fluttershy’s ear, before whispering, “I know mine do...” “Eeep!” Fluttershy nearly leaped up into the air at this. He did not expect his normally self centered friend to become so... attached to somepony else all of a sudden. Although Fluttershy did know that his friend was very bold and outgoing... ‘What if he’s just doing this to prank me?’ “You know I meant it when I said you were cute, for a stallion, right? Well, I gotta say, the more I think about it...you still are beautiful and so cute, Flutters,” came Dash’s smooth and suggestive voice in his ear, before his tongue licked along it. He then brought his gaze back down to his companion’s, meeting their eyes. “I’m not just saying it, you know.” “T-thank you...” Fluttershy trailed off nervously, feeling like he wanted to slip away. “Y-you’re not too bad either...” This caught Dash off guard for a moment as his own cheeks flushed and he smiled, looking flattered. “Gee...thanks, Fluttershy. That’s nice of you to say.” Fluttershy let out a small squeak and pulled his head away, blushing. “I mean... you looked very nice before... but getting changed into a stallion has been much nicer to you than to me...” “Say what? Oh come on, Fluttershy, don’t sell yourself short! Sure, I look awesome no matter what gender I am!” Dash grinned, but then looked serious. “But I meant it. You’re still the same old Fluttershy, and well...okay, fine, I’ll admit it, okay? As a mare you’re absolutely beautiful. Hay, I’d even go as far as to say that you’re the most beautiful pony I’ve ever seen. And now that you’re a stallion, well, it kinda works on you. You don’t look too...well, stallion-ish and yet not too mare-ish, you seem to look like Fluttershy if she were a stallion. You’re still the same old Fluttershy though...” He blushed a bit, and then smiled in a suggestive yet sweet manner. “And you’ll always be my snuggle bunny.” He leaned in closer, laying their foreheads together. Stunned silence was all the shy pony could manage as he sat there frozen, trying to process the unexpected information. ‘What is going on here...? This is past any sort of prank. I...I...Wonder...No...He can’t be attracted to me now that I’m a stallion...’ “Y’know, after all that, as long as you’re still Fluttershy on the inside, doesn’t matter to me whether you’re a mare or stallion!” Dash threw in, hugging him closer and nuzzling their foreheads. “O-okay... Th-that’s nice...” The yellow stallion melted into the hug, finally forgetting all the problems of the outside world. The shy pegasus breathed deeply. This is it. A perfect time to say what he had been meaning to tell his friend for a long time now... just how much he meant to him in return. How much he wanted to cuddle up with the strong athletic pony at night, go for romantic flights together... even... well... if the stunning rainbow mar-stallion would say yes... even more too. Breathing deeply, his body quivering, as were his lips, Fluttershy opened his mouth to speak, “...Rainbow....?” “Yeah?” Dash whispered, his eyelids lowering as he leaned closer to Fluttershy, smirking. “I....I....” Fluttershy leaned closer also, their breaths intermingling, their lips just barely inches apart. Oh, he was so close! Just a little more and he could finally kiss him. The bold cyan pegasus peeked out of his closing eyes at the pretty pony in front of him. This was going to be great! He was about to kiss his first-ever stallion. And it was Fluttershy! What could’ve been better about that? Yellow met light blue as two lips met. Fluttershy's wings fluttered and rose. Rainbow Dash smirked as he felt his best friend kiss him back. Best chaos filled day ever!
