Knock, knock, knock.
Fluttershy lifted up her head from her pillow. "Mhnmph." She got up, not even caring about what she looked like, and went downstairs.
Knock knockity knock.
"I'm coming!" She opened the door to Rarity's smiling face, which soon turned to absolute horror as she took in the sight of her friend.
"Oh my, darling! Look at your hair! Such a mess. I simply must fix it up for you." Fluttershy was shuttled onto a chair while Rarity levitated a brush over and began styling the pegasus's hair. Before the yellow pony could even get a "hello" out, the unicorn spoke again. "So, Fluttershy. A few days ago you came to me asking for help for a 'friend' of yours, remember? How did that turn out?"
"Um, he's okay now, if that's what you're asking."
"Yes, it is... Well, dear, I... Uh..."
Fluttershy had rarely ever seen Rarity at loss for words. "What is it? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no, no. I just... I don't know how to ask this politely. It is very nosey of me, but I have to know!" She put the brush down, and walked around Fluttershy to face her. "Do you have a special somepony?"
"I..." Fluttershy didn't know what to say. Sure, she did have a special somepony, but did she really want Rarity to know? ... Yes, she did. Rarity was like a sister to her. She deserved to know. "Y-yes."
Her friend squealed with glee. "Oooooh I knew it I knew it Iknewit! Who is it, huh? Huh?"
"... Big M-mac..."
Rarity gasped. "Applejack's brother?! Does she know?"
"Yes."
The white pony sat down and put a hoof to her chest. "Of course," she said, looking through the walls, "It all makes sense now... Yes, that's why he came over earlier! That's why he ordered—" She clamped her hooves over her mouth. "Ahem. Well, yes. I must go now. I have... Errands. Goodbye!" She galloped out the door.
