Her little Rainbow

Kiddy pool

The Next Morning.

Fluttershy was feeding her animals with a little help, from little Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy would throw the pellets of food on the ground. While Rainbow would reach in the bag and hoof feed the animals, Rainbow decided to help Fluttershy as best she could today because there seemed to be a lot more animals than usual and she wanted to do something than sit on her patted behind.

Fluttershy giggled when she saw Rainbow feeding a little baby rabbit, she thought Rainbow would have a hard time feeding the animals so she only let her feed the little ones like baby rabbits, squirrels and other small animals. She looks so cute trying to reach into the bag and feed the little critters, she couldn't help but to smile.

Then she started to get the feeling of wanting her as her own child, again. 'No Fluttershy she is your friend and nothing more, she has her own life to live and when she changes back you'll both forget this ever happened." she thought. Ever since that talk with Pinkie yesterday she's been thinking nonstop about Rainbow and the more she tried to refuse the thought the more it seamed to fight back.

Suddenly there was a yelp and crashing sound. Fluttershy looked back over to Rainbow who was now covered in pellets. 'She must have somehow knocked over the bag trying to reach for more pellets.' Fluttershy thought. Just as suddenly as the pellets fell on Rainbow a whole bunch of hungry animals circled around her and started licking the pellets off of her and making her scream giggling.

"Hey s-stop I-I'm tickwish there d-don't!" she screamed through the relentlessly hungry animals until she felt she was lifted up by a pair of hooves.

Fluttershy had hovered over the hoard of animals and reached down to get Rainbow from their clutches. "Okay, let's go back inside." she said and flew back into her home.

When they were safe inside they sat on the couch relaxed with Rainbow cuddled up under her Flutters wings. 'What am I going to do?' Rainbow thought to herself she was worried about what Pumpkin Cake mentioned yesterday. 'If I tell Fluttershy how I feel how would it affect our friendship... and what if she agrees?' she shook her head at the dumb thought.

"Rainbow, is there something wrong?" Fluttershy asked noticing Rainbow seemed distracted.

Rainbow was again focused and looked up at her. "Yeah I'm okay." she said and shifted around a little.

Fluttershy raised a brow. "Does somepony need a diaper change?" she asked.

Rainbow blushed and nodded. Fluttershy picked her up and took her upstairs to be changed.

Once she was changed there was a knock at the door. Fluttershy went to open the door to be met by the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Hi Fluttershy." the girls said in unison.

"Hi girls, what brings you here?" Fluttershy asked.

Scootaloo answered. "We wanted to ask if you and Rainbow could come to the lake with us for a swim."

Fluttershy thought about it for a minute. "Hmm, I guess if Rainbow would like to go." she said, she turned to Rainbow, "Well?"

"Wet's go! Wet's go!" she said excitedly.

****

When they got to the lake, the CMC had already set up a spot on the shore and were swimming, splashing and giggling. Rainbow was still with Fluttershy on the shore getting prepped up.

Fluttershy thought it was important for her to 'stay safe' so she started rubbing sun screen on her and made her put on some floaties.

"Come on Fwuttewshy, I don't need these stupid fwoaties." Rainbow complained.

"Yes you do, I don't want you to sink, so you're just going to have to deal with them." Fluttershy said flatly.

Rainbow pouted. "They make me look stupid."

"No they don't." Fluttershy cooed, she picked up Rainbow and lifted her high up. "You look adorable."

Rainbow tried to scowl her but only succeeded in making her look cuter.

"Okay, are you ready to swim?" she asked.

Rainbow nodded, letting her down Rainbow ran right for the deepest part of the planning on jumping in. But before she could jump in she was again lifted back up by Fluttershy.

"Hey, what's the big idea!" Rainbow yelled.

"I don't think it would be a good idea for you to be in the deep end the way you are now, Rainbow." Fluttershy said and flew to the shallow end of the pool and lowered her into it, it was summer so the lake was warm.

"Oh come on Fwuttewshy, I can still swim, I'm still a big fill-uh mare." Rainbow protested, catching herself before she said 'Filly' instead of 'Mare'.

"Okay, if you can show me you can still swim, I'll let you go to the deep end." she said

Rainbow felt confident she had it in the bag. She started kicking her hooves to move forward in the water. She noticed how big the pool felt under her hooves and she was in the most shallow end, she kept kicking and kicking but she wasn't going nowhere and fast. She started to feel tired from kicking so much and started to sink until Fluttershy held her to keep her above the water.

Fluttershy had lowered herself into the pool when she saw Rainbow start to sink.

"Umm, that was just a fluke." Rainbow retorted.

"Well 'fluke' or not your not going to the deep end." Fluttershy said flatly.

Rainbow pouted again and crossed her arms, suddenly there was a big splash on the other side of the pool. Rainbow looked to see the CMC jumping one by one of a diving board, her eye grew in excitement.

"No, Rainbow." Fluttershy said seeing how Rainbow's eyes were growing looking at the diving board.

"But I didn't ask for anything." Rainbow said.

"I know your going to ask to go off the diving board and the answer is no." Fluttershy said sternly more assertive than usual.

That was the last straw for Rainbow, she decided to use the most dangerous weapon known to pony kind;

CUTENESS.

"Pwease Fwuttewshy, wet me go off the diving boawd." she cooed, showing her big puppy dog eyes and pouting cutely.

"NO." she said again

Rainbow dropped her act and continued to scowl.

"Come on Rainbow we can still have fun," she said. "wait here I'll be right back." then she put Rainbow back down into the shallow water and went back over to there spot.

Rainbow looked at Fluttershy leave, she looked at the diving board. "I don't need Fwuttewshy's permission, I'm a gwown up." she said then she started fluttering her wing and flew for the diving board flying right over the head of the crusaders.

Scootaloo noticed Rainbow flying over head and said. "Hey Rainbow, you shouldn't be flying. This is a lake there's no flying, there's only swimming."

"Is the chicken jealous?" teased Applebloom

"What did you say?" Scootaloo retorted.

"Oh come on Scootaloo, you know she just joking with you." Sweetie Belle said, not wanting to see another chicken and dictionary fight, she looked to the diving board to see Rainbow Dash jump of the diving board.

The splash she made wasn't very big and that disappointed her, but not as disappointing as what happened next, when she tried swimming again she couldn't hold herself up and sank water was filling her lungs. She was panicking until somepony pulled her head above the water, she coughed up water and looked up to see Fluttershy with a stern look on her face.

The look of disappointment on her face made Rainbow feel really bad and the pain in her lungs made it even worse. That's the only thing that she could think of doing was cry and that's what she did.

When Rainbow started crying Fluttershy started patting her back and flew back over to her spot on the shore and sat down on a bench chair, she kept patting Rainbow until she stopped crying. "You should have listen to me when I said you couldn't go off the diving board." she scorned

Rainbow just sniffled. "I'm sowwy mommy." she said.

Fluttershy was shocked out of belief. "What did you say?"

Rainbow realizes what she just said and panicked. "Umm I, nothing."

Fluttershy raised a brow. "Don't lie to me Rainbow." she warned.

Rainbow just shifted her gaze.

"Okay, we will talk about this later." Fluttershy said then she pulled something out. "Here this was for you to play with."

Rainbow looked at the item that Fluttershy went to go get her when she left her alone, it was another spitfire toy but instead of plush it was a bath toy. Rainbow took the rubber Spitfire and squeezed it making a squeaky sound.

Fluttershy smiled when she saw how happy Rainbow was to have that bath toy. "Okay are you ready to go back in the pool." she asked

Rainbow nodded and they went back into the pool with the Cutie Mark Crusaders asking a few questions if Rainbow was okay, Fluttershy told them she was fine and the rest of the evening went on without any problems.

But Rainbow knew when they got home she would have to explain some things and would have to express her feelings.
