//------------------------------// // Forgive, Forget and Kiss // Story: Diamonds and Butterflies // by Princess Glitzy //------------------------------// Rarity walked over to Fluttershy. They hadn't seen each other for a few days since the... incident and though things were okay, they could definitely improve. "Hello, Fluttershy! It's so nice to see you!" Rarity gave Fluttershy a quick kiss on the cheek and then continued. "I know that a little tea party at your cottage isn't fancy or that romantic, I think that it would be good to relax for a bit." Fluttershy smiled and blew Rarity a kiss. Rarity blew her a kiss back. Angel walked over to them and jumped into Fluttershy's forelegs. He gave her a look that said 'This is so annoying. Will you please stop being all lovey dovey?!' "Now Angel Bunny, this isn't gross. It's romantic." The little bunny pointed to his mouth in a way that suggested that he's vomiting. Rarity gave him an annoyed look. "Now, I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I'm pretty sure that Fluttershy has mentioned you having a bunnyfriend." He blushed and then hopped out of the room to go find his girl. "Oh, Fluttershy! I think that I forgot to bring the cookies for the tea! THIS IS THE WORST POSSI-" Fluttershy puts her hoof on Rarity's mouth. "We can go get some at Sugarcube Corner... if you want." "Perfect, darling!" Rarity held Fluttershy's hoof and then used her horn to teleport them there quickly. They appear right in front of Mr and Mrs. Cake. "Hello, dears!" "What brings you here today?" added Mr. Cake. "Um... cookies." He stood waiting for her to continue talking, but no explanation as to why she wanted cookies was given. "What Fluttershy here means is that we need half a dozen sugar cookies for our tea party." The couple nodded and then walked over to get the cookies. Pinkie Pie had heard her best friends from within the kitchen, so she walked out to the restaurant area to say 'hi' to her 'bestest friends'. "Hiya, girls!" "Um… hello, Pinkie Pie." "How do you do, Pinkie?" Pinkie gave Rarity an odd look. Rarity cleared her throat. "I think that some ponies say 'wassup'." Pinkie Pie looked even more confused. Now this is just getting annoying! "HOW ARE YOU?!" "Ohhhhhh! I'm doing good!" "I'm doing well." Rarity muttered under her breath. The three mares chatted amongst themselves while waiting for the cookies that were taking way too long. Rarity looked at Mrs. Cake and she winked at her. I'm not sure, but I think means that she's stalling, so the three of us can hang out. While they were talking Rainbow Dash and Twilight walked in together. The two of them have been hanging out a lot recently. It's not-... it can't be! They just got over us! Rarity looked at them. Hmm... "Hello, Rarity, Fluttershy." Rainbow then turned to Pinkie Pie. "Hey, Pinks!" "Hey, Dashie!" Twilight looked at Rarity sympathetically in a way that said 'She's still a little upset, she'll get over it, though'. Rarity grabbed Rainbow, Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy in a big, group hug. "Rarity, I think that for the first time you initiated the group hug! Based on usual events, I would have assumed that Pinkie Pie would be the one to do that!" They all looked at Twilight. "What? There's nothing wrong with commenting on something in a smart way." Suddenly, Pinkie Pie jumped up frantically. "AJ isn't here! It's not a group hug without the group!" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "It's still a group hug though." "Not without AJ!" she whined. Twilight sighed and then used her magic to teleport Applejack there. "What in tarnation?! A'm at ma barn one second an' then tha next Ah'm at Sugarcube Corner!" She looked at her surroundings. "Ah'm gonna take a wald guess an' say that it was you, Twi." Twilight blushed guiltily. Rarity walked up to the counter. "I think Fluttershy and I should get going now." She pointed a hoof towards the crowd of loud, fighting ponies with one yellow-coated pegasus cowering in the corner. Mrs. Cake nodded and handed her the box of cookies. Rarity went to put down her bits when she stopped her. "It's on the house." "Not literally! That would be silly!" They heard Pinkie Pie shout. "Pinkie Pie, you're so random!" "Thanks, Dashie!" After hearing that, Applejack couldn't help, but laugh. Rarity grabbed the cookies, thanked Mrs. Cake, grabbed Fluttershy and then bolted from the rambunctious crowd. "Um... Rarity... it was scary in t- there. I would like to relax at home with you now." "Of course! I wouldn't want to doing anything else anywhere with anypony! This will be great!" The two mares walked back to Fluttershy's cottage side by side with their forelegs interlocking. "So, Fluttershy, would you say that we're officially fillyfriends or are we still in the beginning stages? You don't have to answer if you don't want to darling." Fluttershy answered immediately. "Fillyfriends." She didn't even have to think about it. "Awwww!" Rarity hugged her and then without even realizing it, they were home. "Time for our tea party!" Fluttershy flew into the house and sat down at the little coffee table that Rarity had glamorized for their date. "I'll pour the drinks and set up the plates. Fluttershy, you can put the cookies on a plate." They set up the tea party and then sat down. They began sipping their Green Tea that Rarity had made. "This tastes great, Rarity!" "Thank you!" They sat looking at each other. "What do you want to talk about?" "Um... your work?" "Are you sure?" "I think so." "Well, I've been swamped recently! Sapphire Shores, Hoity Toity and Photo Finish all want dresses at the same time! I'm not sure I've ever had this much work! Even when I was trying to remake your gala dresses! I think that they're coming out nice, but I haven't had much free time. I was happy to see you today because I really missed you." "I've missed you too!" They both hugged and then ate a few cookies. They chit chatted about the others or the beauty of mares that they had met recently. The two of them finished their tea and then kissed each other goodnight. Rarity walked over to the door to leave. "Goodnight!" She opened the door and then she felt a hoof on her shoulder. She turned around slowly. "I- I was um... wondering i- if you would want to maybe stay the night." "Y- You mean-..." "Oh my gosh! No! N- Not that! I mean a sleepover that's sort of romantic." Rarity calmed down and then smiled. The two walked into Fluttershy's room and got on her bed. They snuggled and then went to sleep. This is great, just lying here with Fluttershy. I could stay this way forever... ZZZZZZZ
