“Fluttershy!” Twilight knocked on the door for what was probably the fiftieth time. “Fluttershy, come on out!”
The door opened revealing Angel, who simply glared at Twilight, thumping his foot on the floor.
“Angel, may I please speak to-“ Angel slammed the door in her face. “Fluttershy!” Twilight called. “Please come out!”
There was silence, and then Fluttershy’s voice behind the door. “Twilight, please not now!”
“Fluttershy, please? I’m sorry!”
Slowly, the door opened, just a crack. The room was dark, and Twilight could just barely see Fluttershy. “What is it?” the butter colored Pegasus asked, voice wavering.
“I’m sorry, Fluttershy. I really am, and I don’t know what I can do to make it better… Please, may I come in?” Fluttershy slowly moved out of the way and pulled the door open, hiding behind it. The yellow Pegasus watched the pretty purple unicorn walk in and gently shut the door behind her, brushing away a tear. The room was surprisingly dim, Twilight noticed. “Why is it so dark in here?” she asked, turning to Fluttershy.
“Oh! Um… no reason, I just… I don’t feel well today.”
All too familiar with this excuse, Twilight gave Fluttershy a gentle smile, “Fluttershy, it’s okay.”
Fluttershy stared at her hooves. “Um, would you like anything to drink? I have… water.”
“Fluttershy, I just want to talk… about last night,”
Fluttershy turned red as a tomato. Twilight blushed too, thinking back on the kiss.
The silence was deafening.
Fluttershy continued to stare at her own hooves, the blush never fading from her cheeks.
Twilight cleared her throat; “Look Fluttershy, I’m really sorry, about last night, about… about everything.”
Fluttershy swallowed. “No, it’s fine. These things happen,”
Twilight shook her head. “Fluttershy, this isn’t just some misunderstanding we can laugh at and forget, I want it to be but it isn’t. I’m sorry.”
Fluttershy found she had a lump in her throat that refused to go down. She had butterflies in her stomach, and her heart had quickened.
“You’re forgiven…”
Twilight’s breath caught in her throat. Was it really over? Just like that?
“No. No, you can forgive me but you still have feelings for me don’t you.”
Fluttershy turned away, covering her eyes with a hoof.
Twilight went over to the yellow Pegasus and hugged her tightly, “I’m sorry, Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy hugged her back, sighing as she felt Twilight’s heart beating in her chest.
“You smell like Rarity’s shampoo.”
“What?”
“Rarity’s shampoo, are you wearing some?”
Twilight turned red, remembering Rarity’s earlier attempts at seduction. “I went over to Rarity’s to apologize first, but… it didn’t exactly go as planned.”
Fluttershy stiffened. “Are you… alright?”
“I’m fine Fluttershy, I’m just – ugh, I can’t think of a good word.”
Fluttershy pulled herself away from Twilight’s grip, noticing the emotion in Twilight’s eyes.
“Do you need to talk?”
“I just…” Twilight sighed. “This has all happened so quickly! I don’t get it! I don’t understand it, a few cheesy pick-up-lines and everypony’s in love with me!”
She sighed in frustration. “I just don’t get it! I want us all to be friends, but not like this! It’s just - why? And I can only imagine what Rainbow Dash and Applejack are going to be like.”
Fluttershy lowered her eyes. “Well… um… how about… Oh, jeez…”
Twilight sighed, and opened the curtains letting in some light. Fluttershy gently trotted over to her and extended a wing over the unicorns back. “Fluttershy…”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, I’m sorry.”
“No, it was my fault, I mean... oh.” Fluttershy stumbled over her words.
Twilight smiled and nuzzled Fluttershy’s side. “We’re still friends, right? I mean… hopefully this will all blow over, right?”
Fluttershy hung her head. “I don’t know, but… I hope so.”
Twilight suddenly pulled away from the Pegasus. “Sorry, I just…” she trailed off.
Her stomach growled, and she blushed. “Oh, you poor thing,” Fluttershy said. “You must be starving, come on, I’ll make you a nice sandwich,”
“No, it’s fine, I just-“
“Have you even eaten today?”
“No…”
“Oh, that’s simply awful,” Fluttershy flew gently behind her friend and pushed her towards the kitchen. “Well, I am kind of hungry,” Twilight blushed, rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.
“Here,” Fluttershy pulled out the bread and other ingredients, and after a small scuffle with Angel (Who stole the mayo,) Fluttershy handed Twilight the sandwich.
Twilight took it in her levitation, and bit into it. “Yum! Daffodil, my favorite! Thanks, Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy smiled, and eyed her hooves. “Oh, it was nothing.”
“Hey…” Twilight said suddenly, is… what… I feel dizzy.”
“You do? Are you alright?”
“No, I’m fine. I th-think… or… oh boy,” Twilight fell over like a sack of potatoes.
“Twilight! Angel, did you do something to the mayo?!”
