Rarity stood there in complete shock. There was a crimson red hoof mark on her left cheek from where Twilight had hit here. It stung like hell but she did not show it on her face. Celestia, what have I DONE!? She thought to herself as she stared into Twilight's tear filled eyes, in which made her eyes start to form tears also. Rarity looked over at Fluttershy who was hiding behind her mane completely embarrassed and scared.
Rarity started to back up slowly. "I... I'm so s-sorry. I don't know w-what came over me." She said trembling with tears flowing from her eyes. Without another word she ran back to her boutique sobbing softly like she had a few hours ago. As she neared the boutique she could see Sweetie Belle out in the distance walking into the shop.
She reached the front door, shaking immensely from shock. Before she could open the door, she collapsed and was crying her eyes out. Her heart hurt immensely from the events that happened only a few moments ago. Why have I done such a thing? I only meant to go there and just TELL Fluttershy how I felt, not show her. Rarity started to cry harder. I probably ruined my friendship with both of them.
From within the boutique Sweetie Belle could hear the crying of somepony outside. Sweetie Belle, being very curious and concerned about who it was, went back to the door and opened it. She looked down at the crying pony to only see that it was her older sister.
"Rarity!" Sweetie Belle gasped. "What's wrong? What happened!?" Her emotions was something that of anger and sadness. She was gonna find out what happened, no matter what. Rarity did not answer but she started to calm down. "Let’s go inside." Sweetie Belle said as she helped her older sister up. They went upstairs and to Rarity's room.
"I'm so sorry you have to see me like this darling." Rarity said calming herself down and wiping the tears away as she lay on her bed.
"It’s okay sis but you have me worried. What's going on?" Sweetie Belle asked while she sat down on the floor in front of her, she looked Rarity straight in the eyes with a concerned, but very serious look on her face. She was gonna get her to tell spill what was wrong.
There was no escaping this. Rarity knew the small unicorn wasn't going to let her leave until she told her what was going on. "It was what happened yesterday..." Rarity began.

Twilight stood staring at Fluttershy eyes full of tears. She was furious, not at Rarity because she had no idea her and Fluttershy were together. No, she was furious at Fluttershy. Why didn't she break the kiss? Why didn't she push her away like she did with me? Is it because she loves Rarity..? Twilight thought up many reasons for why Fluttershy didn't break the kiss.
She was scared, and shocked. Only shocked because of the kiss Rarity had given her. She had not expected it at all. "A-are you m-mad at m-me Twi?" Fluttershy asked still hidden behind her mane.
Twilight couldn't stay mad at her. She was just too cute and her voice is so sweet, but she had to know. "Why didn't you break the kiss with Rarity like you had done with me?" Her voice was monotone. There was no emotion in what she said, but her eyes showed much hurt.
Fluttershy didn't say anything at first. She was thinking about how to break the news. "It's b-because I used to love h-her," She said in a quiet tone. "But I don't anymore! I mean, I love her as a friend but not the way I love you." Fluttershy's eyes were tearing up. She didn't want to lose Twilight. She had been so lonely and now she finally found somepony.
Twilight stood there completely silent and still. The news hurt her, but Fluttershy had told her she only loves her now. Twilight looked away from Fluttershy, and they stood there in complete silence for a few minutes.
Fluttershy finally got the courage to speak up. "P-please don't hate me Twilight. I don't want to be lonely anymore, I'm tired of it and you've been able to change that." Fluttershy was crying, and didn't seem to care. All she wanted was to stay with Twilight and be happy.
Twilight looked back at Fluttershy and stared at her for a few seconds before pulling her in for a hug. "I could never hate you and I would never leave, but um, maybe we should talk to Rarity. I need to apologize for what I did. We'll go see her later to give her time to calm down." She finished as she nuzzled Fluttershy's neck. They both headed inside the cottage and talked about what happened.

"Then that's when you came outside and helped me." Rarity said finishing her story of what happened. She told Sweetie Belle about her love for Fluttershy and such. She didn't feel better, if anything, she felt worse. Her eyes filled with sadness and her heart ached. She hated this feeling, but there was no way she could end it.
"What made you fall in love with Fluttershy in the first place, sis?" Sweetie Belle asked breaking the silence between them.
Rarity thought for a moment before remembering exactly what happened. "I believe it was the first day we met."
Rarity was walking around Ponyville just enjoying the nice weather and fresh air. She was walking through the market where all the ponies had their shops set up, until one certain yellow pegasus caught her attention. She had a long pink mane and had three butterflies as her cutie mark. The pegasus was hidden behind her mane and looked terrified. Rarity walked over and introduced herself.
"Hello dear, my name is Rarity, what's yours?" She asked. The yellow mare sank to the ground and said her name which was barely audible. Rarity frowned, "I don't mean to scare you darling. I'm just trying to be friendly and help." She smiled when she finished.
"M-my name i-is Fluttershy." She said as she became more open and stopped hiding behind her mane. Rarity's heart skipped a little at the sight of her face. The two new mares started walking and told each other about themselves. Rarity's heart fluttered every time she made eye contact with the yellow pegasus. She was so beautiful and graceful. From then on the two hung out more and more, and each time they were together, Rarity's feelings for her grew stronger and stronger.
After finishing her story, Rarity told Sweetie Belle to go away for a little bit. As Sweetie left the room Rarity could feel the depression grow inside of her. She was in pain and she didn't know how to deal with it. Then she got an idea, one that could make all the pain go away.
