Rainbow dashed towards a seat as quick as she could, but Orchid sat there first "too slow dashie!" then her eyes started to sparkle "you could sit on my knee.." Rainbow, edged forward and perched on her friends lap, thinking nothing of it really , even hen Orchid wrapped her hooves around rainbows waist and rested her chin on her shoulder. Rainbow didn't think it was big thing all afternoon, until it got to lunch when Orichid greeted her with a kiss on the muzzle and a smile "wait..are you being serious?" Rainbow was expecting a laugh in the face but she instead received a question. "are you?" Rainbow smiled widely and hugged her new marefriend. "so should we tell shikari?" Rainbow said, but they both shared a mutual desire to keep it secret, but had to tell her best friend. "HEY SHIKARI! WE HAVE SOME THING TO TELL YOU!" they bellowed across the playground "what is it?" shikari looked concerned, like they where ether about to tell her her mother had died, or punch her in the face. "well..." rainbow smiled "me and Orchid are..." she continued to smile and they both raised there eyebrows. "are what?" said the clueless filly "WELL..." the both put there hooves round each other and continued to raise eyebrows. "seriously guys just tell me!" rainbow sighed "ok! me and orchid are going out!" "wow...just...wow" shakari sat down and looked up at them "sorry I just hallucinated can you repeat that?" she eyes full of question, and her brain no doubt full of what. they both giggled "c'mon silly! you two favourite girls are dating! is this not awesome!" shikari's smile turned from questioning to happy "I am so happy for you!" she said, throwing her arms around her friends. "so..." she turned to Rainbow "how the hell are you going to tell your mother?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the next day, Orchid and Rainbow dash stayed behind to help out in the music department, and as they where going down the corridor to get there Rainbow planted a quick kiss onto Orchid's lips and giggled, the wrapped there arms around each other and smiled. "right, this is my stop!" Orchid said at the door to the left music room "see you later sweetie!" when she had gone into the room rainbow turned to be face to face with a colt named kall, he had floppy messy hair and a look of disbelief on his face. "did..did you just KISS Orchid?" he gasped, rainbow had no idea what to say, so simply ran as fast as she could. she began walking the path home, but felt someone clutch her foreleg, she turned round to she shikari panting "R-Rudd..saw you and Orchid..and...whole..band...knows..." there was small pause followed by a subtle, "buck"
