     Big Macintoshknocked on Fluttershy's door. "Fluttershy? It's Big Mac." The door opened, and Fluttershy stared at him blankly. "Ah came to apologize." She steped back to let Big Mac in.

They sat on her couch. "Fluttershy," Big Macintosh began.

"It's okay."

"What?"

"You don't have to apologize for not," a tear slid down her cheek, "for not liking me..."

"Oh, Fluttershy..." He wiped the tear away. "Ah came to apologize for what Applejack said. Ah said 'nothin' 'cuz Ah was worried that... That maybe... That maybe there was nothing." He looked down.

"Is there nothing?"

"Huh?"

"I said 'nothing' because I was scared that you really meant 'nothing'. Is there nothing?" She looked worried.

"Fluttershy," he started, and took a deep breath. "Ah don't know about you, but... But fer me... Ah think there... May be something." He winced, waiting for the rejection that was sure to come.

Instead, he felt a hoof on his. "I think so too," Fluttershy said. She began to weep with happiness, and buried her face in Big Mac's strong chest. They hugged, like last time, but Big Macintosh did the one thing both had been secretly dreaming of since the day they met.

He kissed her.
