Epilogue: This is Sappy but It’s True
Clothing lay scattered around the room; thrown casually aside in the midst of passion. A particularly well aimed bra was dangling from a lamp, some pieces of clothing perched themselves on top of the desk, while still others littered the floor. Even the black brassier had eventually been removed and now lay at the foot of the bed.
RD was the first to stir, the warm rays of morning sun alighting on her face. She turned her head and gazed at the girl beside her. Fluttershy’s chest slowly rose and fell in time with her breathing, her pink hair, though matted from the night’s activities, still wreathed her head in a beautiful halo of pink. Dash was unsure if she had ever seen a sight more gorgeous or more peaceful
.
With a small jerk Fluttershy too awoke and gave her childhood companion an exhausted smile.
“Morning Flutters,” Dash said returning the smile.
Fluttershy just lay there, looking upon the woman she had always admired. Her strength, her loyalty, and her passion had been what drove Flutttershy’s feelings for her one-time friend into a something more.
Suddenly uncertainty began to creep into Fluttershy’s mind. What were they now? Were they together? Did… did she even feel the same way? This had all happened so fast, what came next? A frown began to find its way across Fluttershy’s features. She fought back an urge to hide. No, no hiding, not from Rainbow.
“Hey, hey no frowning Flutters, got it?” RD cooed to her lover. She tenderly touched Fluttershy’s cheek as a way of comforting her. “Not regretting last night I hope, I mean… damn, you were awesome Flutters. I’ll be surprised if I can move out of this bed honestly.”
“No… no not that, oh Dashie, I’d never regret that…” Fluttershy responded softly. Should she ask…? Could she?
“I just…. I mean…” Fluttershy swallowed her words. She couldn’t do it, she was too afraid of what the answer might be.
Dash’s face became uncharacteristically solemn for a moment, “Uh… do you not want to, uh… be together?”
Fluttershy eyes began to grow wide, “Y- you mean it… you’d even want to… be with me?”
Dash’s face brightened instantly, “Of course! Are you kidding? I mean you’re the most amazing person I know, you’re cute and caring and well… you’re Flutters!” RD lunged and caught Fluttershy in a surprise embrace that made the more timid girl’s entire body blush.
“Thanks Dashie, I mean I really like you too.” She managed to squeak out.
“I know, I’m pretty much amazing.” Rainbow said with a smirk before planting a kiss on Fluttershy’s nose. “I mean… I’m no good at the whole feelings shtick… but when I’m with you I always have more fun, you make me smile, and well… I think… I think, I always want you in my life.”
Fluttershy smiled warmly, “Thank you Dashie, I want you with me too.”
“Plus if last night was any indication, I’d say we’re more than a bit compatible in bed.” She added with a wink. “I mean seriously where did l that come from? I never knew you could be so…uh… assertive.”
The timid girl resisted the urge to hide under her blankets. “Well, I um… thanks…” She managed.
Rainbow grinned, leaning and gave Fluttershy a playful nuzzle. “Well, just keep being you, ‘kay Flutters?”
Fluttershy felt warmth bubble up inside her. She reached over and pulled Rainbow into a tight hug pressing the lithe girl’s warm body into her own. “You’re the best Dashie!”
“I know it.” Rainbow let out a little chuckle and returned the cuddle. “So what now? Breakfast?”
“Sure ,” Fluttershy replied with a mischievous little smirk before ducking her head under the covers.
“Hey where are you going? I thought we going to get….oh! Oh, you naughty girl…”
--------------------
Several rooms away four girls were beginning to wake from what had ended up being a night of intense drinking.
Rarity rolled off the futon with an audible thud. As sleep slowly left her mind she stared up her temporary bed with a look of utter disgust. She picked herself off the floor and dusted herself off. As she bent over the Stetson that had been perched precariously on her head fell to the floor.
Twilight groaned as she rolled over in her bed. Putting a finger to her lips she issued a “shhhh” in Rarity’s direction.
Applejack rubbed her temples and winced, “Wellp I think I’ll be layin’ of the drinks for a bit… What in tarnation even happened?” She spied her hat on the ground and snatched it up. She cast a glare at Rarity, to have her treasured possession on the head of another was sacrilege as far as AJ was concerned.
A frizzy haired head poked out from over the edge of the top bunk. “I’ll tell you what happened!” Pinkies volume elicited a collective wince from the other three girls.
“Wh- what happened then, darling?” Rarity managed, her voice feeling rough in her throat.
“They all lived happily ever after, silly!”
