“Darling, thank you for coming over. I have some things I need to tell you.”
“Of course, Rarity. Actually, I had something I needed to say to you, too.”
“This will only take a minute, Fluttershy. I really must get this off my chest.”
“Um, I really would like to put this out in the open before I lose my nerve.”
“Well, you'll just have to talk over me, darling, because I cannot hold this in any longer.”
“I'm sorry, but I might do that.”
“As you well know, I appreciate subtlety. Often times, I would rather imply something than just say it outright.”
“I don't do well with words. Not when I really need to get the idea across. So it's probably my fault you didn't catch it when I mumbled at the spa.”
“I am entirely to blame for you not picking up on the nuances I have been using while speaking to you on our spa dates. I have tried leaving you hints...”
“My animal friends have been helping me leave you clues...”
“Gift after gift...”
“I don't know if you've noticed, but every time you've come over to my cottage, the woodland creatures have made a point of giving you cuddles and making you feel at home.”
“Honestly, darling, how many times do you think Opal has really been sick over the last few weeks? That excuse for dropping by has got to be wearing thin.”
“I thought for sure you would notice that it was the same dress that kept getting mysterious holes that needed repairing.”
“Lingerie, darling. Exactly what do you think it means when a friend makes exciting undergarments for you and says she hopes to see you in them sometime?”
“I think Angel Bunny maybe went a bit overboard when he organized all the birds to spell out, 'Kiss the yellow one, already,' in the tree outside your bedroom.”
“And yet, somehow, you haven't gotten the message.”
“But it still doesn't seem like you understand.”
“So I am going to lay this out in the plainest, most explicit terms I can manage.”
“So it's time for me to pony up and just say it.”
“I am laying my heart out on the line, Fluttershy. You can take it, or you can leave it.”
“It would be really nice if you decide you'd like to go with this, but, um, it's up to you. Whatever you decide is okay.”
“This is it... Oh Celestia, it's harder to say aloud than I ever imagined.”
“I... I... um, remember that part about me losing my nerve? I think that's happening right now.”
“No more putting it off. This is too important to stay quiet about.”
“I have to say it. I can't go on regretting not saying it.”
“Fluttershy...”
“Rarity...”
“I love you.”
“I lo... Y-you do??”
