//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Unexpected Love // by SilverSpoon //------------------------------// Fluttershy gazed at the sky with a blank expression on her face as Rainbow Dash landed in front of her. "Well? Whadja think!? Was I awesome," Rainbow asked, pausing " Or was I AWESOME!?" "It was... nice." Fluttershy sighed. Rainbow had messed up the entire routine, and it was sloppy and uneven. But Fluttershy didn't have the heart to tell that to her best friend. "Come on Fluttershy! You have to be more.. uh- cheerful for my private performance for the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow ranted, "Did you see the way Soarin' looked at me? Oh god, he wants me. Lucky for him, I think I like him too. Eeeeee! This is so exciting!" Fluttershy stared at the ground. She didn't know what was going to happen that night. She looked at Rainbow and sighed again. "R-rainbow? I'm going to.. uhm.. head home and i'l see you later.. I guess." Fluttershy said, backing away from the confused cyan mare. "Whatever, that just gives me more time to practice." Rainbow shouted in a huff. ~~~~~~~~ "Yo Applejack! What's poppin'? Twilight said walking over with a bit of "Canterlot Swagg" as she called it in her walk. "Twahlight, what in tarnation are ya wearin'!?" Applejack laughed. "Oh these old things?" Twilight proclaimed looking at her baggy sweats and gold chains "This is just one of the outfits the Princess used to make me dress-up in...I know.. It's kinda weird." "Uhhh yeah sugarcube..Weird wouldn't even start to describe it." Applejack said, grinning. " But you do look mighty cute, so come 'ere!" The two met each other halfway and shared a deep, loving kiss. They collapsed onto the floor of the barn in each others embrace and the two just laid there in each others arms. "I love you Applejack." "I love you too Twahlight" ~~~~~~~~ "Are they here yet? Are they? Are they here yet? Please tell me they are here!" Rainbow shouted as she flew up to Fluttershy who was perched waiting to announce the show. "Uhm yeah, they are behind the cloud..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Schweet, let's get this par-tay started!" Rainbow cheered. "Did somepony say PAR-TAY?!" said a high pitched voice from below the cloud. "Not now Pinkie!" Rainbow snapped. The happy bouncing sound ceased, and Rainbow looked through the cloud to see a rejected Pinkie walk away. "Whatever.." Rainbow said while getting into position. The sky cracked with planned thunder and lightning. "L-ladies and gentlecolts.." Fluttershy said, emerging from the clouds. She looked at the Wonderbolts sitting on the cloud below her. They were all staring. At her. She shivered. "Pr-Prepare yourself for the pony of all ponies. Please welcome Rainbow Dash..." She said trailing off at the end. The Wonderbolts looked expectantly at the sky, waiting for the Rainbow blur to shoot by. Except for one. Soarin' couldn't take his eyes off the pale yellow announcer. She was quite pretty. Spitfire nudged him. "Yo Soarin', stare much?" Soarin' snapped to attention. "Wha-what? Oh sorry... She's just.. pretty. But whatever. We're here for Rainbow Dash, right?" He sighed. Soarin' knew the cyan mare had a crush on him. He just didn't know what would happen. Suddenly the sky lit up with a bright sonic rainboom. The other 'Bolts oooohed and ahhhed, but Soarin' was looking at the frightened yellow pegasus. He flew from his perch towards her, completely ignoring Rainbow. Fluttershy saw him approaching and her eyes grew wide. He landed next to her. "Are you alright Miss.." "Fluttershy..." "Yeah, I saw you shaking. are you sure you are ok?" "You should really watch Rainbow..." "No, the other 'Bolts will fill me in later." "No, I meant if Rainbow sees me talking with you she'll..." Soarin' knew what was coming. "Yeah, I'll go." Fluttershy watched him fly away. She sighed. Colts were always hitting on her, but they were always jerks. But he seemed different. Rainbow landed in front of the Wonderbolts after her fiery routine "Well done, Rainbow!" Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts praised. "Thanks! Hey Soarin', did you like it?" Rainbow asked leaning in close to the light blue colt. "Oh it was awesome..." Soarin' replied, while looking at the pale yellow pony who was flying towards them. "Pshhh... I know.. I AM rather awesome!" Rainbow gushed. "Uhh... So Soarin', you got a marefriend?" A burst of laughter came from Spitfire. "Bahahahahhaha! Soarin'? A marefriend? Bahhahahaha!" SHe could barely talk between her bursts of insane laughter. "Oh... I see" Dash said with a smile on her face. "So Soarin', uh you wanna go out to get a bite to eat?" Soarin' couldn't move. He was shocked. Why would she.. just ask that? Damn... He thought That girl has balls! "Oh I actually have my eye on another pony..." He said blushing, looking at Fluttershy out of the corner of his eye. Rainbow's face fell. Spitfire saw and decided to use this as a good time to talk about the show. "So Rainbow... Come over here and talk with me about training for the 'Bolts." "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHHHHH!" Rainbow squealed, running over to talk with Spitfire. Soarin' gave the yellow Wonderbolt a helpless look. She silently mouthed go. He obliged. ~~~~~~~ Trixie hadn't been in Ponyville in a few weeks. She returned for one pony, and one pony only. Twilight Sparkle. As she trotted down the street she got strange looks from the other ponies. But Trixie brushed it off. She cantered up to two fillies. They seemed nice enough. "Hello! Have you two girls seen Twilight Sparkle?" Trixie asked. "Uhm.. Oh my gosh, like what are you wearing?!" The magenta filly asked. "Titi.. she hasn't done anything..." The smaller silver one said, "Twilight's in her library.." "Uhhh.. Thanks." Trixie replied. As she walked away, she heard the magenta filly yell at the smaller one. She sighed. Poor grey filly. Trixie approched the library. Here we go... Trixie knocked on the door. "Comeee in pardnerrr!" An unfamiliar voice drawled. Trixie shrugged and went inside. When she saw what was inside, her jaw dropped to the floor. Twilight was sitting on the couch, with her arms wrapped around another pony, and a lovesick gaze on her face. ******************** Heeyyy 2nd fic more to come if ya'll like it!
