"Scootaloo, what are you doing?"
"Haven't you ever heard of a knock?!!"
"Oh, um... I did knock, but I didn't want to be too loud."
"Fluttershy, just get out of here!"
The yellow pegasus closed the door and walked closer to Scootaloo's bed. "Come on, Scoot. If there's something I should know about, I can help you as your friend."
Scootaloo huffed. "I was happening to be enjoying myself before you walked in," the pegasus teen uttered with a harsh bite.
Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. "Oh... but you were grunting and moaning like you were frustrated or maybe sick. Not to mention, you're sweating and-"
A realization abruptly came to Fluttershy and the pegasus narrowed her eyes as she looked to her roommate's bed. "Scootaloo... what's under the pillow?"
Scootaloo wiped a bead of sweat from under her brow and chuckled nervously. "Well, you see... um... BYE!" With that, the orange mare bolted out the open window.
Not having any time to try to stop her, Fluttershy sighed and trotted over to Scootaloo's pillow. Lifting it with her mouth, Fluttershy dropped said pillow in shock of what she saw.
It was this month's "Wet Feathers" issue of Storm Magazine, a stallion's interest magazine, and on the cover was the latest rookie of the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash. The cyan pegasus was crouched on her widely-spread hind legs on a beach with her back turned to the camera. Her wings were flared out to the sides and she adorned a promiscuous smirk. Her mane, fur, and tail were soaking wet, and the most intimate part of her body was only scantily clad by said wet tail.
The cream-colored mare huffed. "I told her that this was a bad idea!"
Fluttershy sighed and rolled her eyes. The pegasus lamented, "Well, if Scootaloo has a copy, then that definitely means Pinkie has one. Then there's Twilight, not to mention, Applejack, and then there's every stallion in Equestria!" The pegasus sighed again.
Cheer up, Fluttershy, a voice in Fluttershy's head said. All those ponies may have pictures and whatnot, but you'll be the only one who actually has her.
Fluttershy sighed. "I suppose... but how could I be sure of that? After all, you're just telling me what I want to hear."
By the grace of dramatic convenience, a letter came through the mail slot of Fluttershy's front door. The pegasus glided to mat to see who it was from.
Rainbow Dash
1 Wonderbolts Plaza
Canterlot, Equestria
"Ooh, goodie! Dashie sent me a letter." Her spirits lightened slightly, Fluttershy opened the envelope to read the message.
Fluttershy,
So yeah, the magazine came out this week. I must admit, I look pretty darned good, heh heh.
I just want you to know something. I realize that you aren't a fan of these pictures. I'm just gonna assume that by the time you're reading this, my flank is being clopped to by all the colts in the schoolyard (and Scootaloo too, I mean, let's not kid ourselves). Well, think of it like this: they may be able to lay their eyes on me, but you're the only one who can use her hooves... and toungue... OOH, and wingtips (wink-wink).
No, but seriously, these pictures I take, or interviews I do for my publicity (and the pictures are TOTALLY a one-time thing, I promise you) don't say anything about who I am. I may be giving everypony else a tease, but you are the only one in my life who gets the whole story. After all, I trust you and only you with knowing the real me.
I love you, babe. Nothing's changing that, not even fame.
I'll see you soon,
Rainbow Dash
Fluttershy smiled as she put down her lover's letter on the breakfast table. Her thoughts put at ease, the yellow pegasus cantered back to Scootaloo's room and picked up the magazine, really looking at it for the first time.
Hot damn, I gotta get me one of these, She thought as she grinned deviously.
