We left Twilight’s tree home and couldn’t feel any more nervous. Sure Rarity is a generous unicorn but how can we surely trust her about the situation? I couldn’t bare it.
“Um Twilight? I’m…I’m not so sure about this.”
Twilight stopped walking and turned to face me. “How come?”
I hesitated. If there was any time I could stop her it was now or never. “I just don’t know if I can trust Rarity about this.”
Twilight gave me a surprised look then giggled. “Oh Scion, for what reason do you have to not trust her?”
“Well you said that she was the closest to Fluttershy. What if she goes to her and spills the secret? And then my chance of ever getting a chance to talk to her would be ruined. And…”
Twilight raised her hoof which was a sign for me to stop. “Well I can rest assure you that Rarity would never do that to her friends.”
I sighed. “I sure hope you’re right about this.”

Fluttershy walked to the front door of her cottage just on the outskirts of Ponyville. She had many things on her mind today and thought going out for a walk to get some fresh air hoping it would help clear her head.
She turned around and kneeled down to her little furry white companion. “You be good now Angel bunny. I’m just going to go out for a few hours.”
Angel nodded his head quickly.
“Now if you need me, or if anypony’s in trouble, I’ll…” She was cut off by Angel crossing his arms and giving her an annoyed glare. “Oh right. Okay I’ll be back in a little while.”
She closed the door of her cottage and walked down the hill. There have been a few things on her mind that she needed to tell somepony. What she was keeping inside was eating her alive and the only pony she could ever trust was Rarity. She’s been much closer to her and could tell her just about anything and the generous unicorn would do her best to help her out. “Maybe Rarity can help me with these thoughts.” Fluttershy said to herself.
After a little while of walking through downtown Ponyville, she made it to Rarity’s boutique. “Oh I hope she isn’t busy.” She walked to the front door and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later a small unicorn with a white coat and curly light purple mane answered.
“Hey Fluttershy!” She squeeled.
“Hello Sweetie Belle. Is Rarity here?” Fluttershy asked.
“Yeah she’s just finishing up this dress she’s been working on. Come on in.”
“Oh thank you.”
“No problem. Rarity!” Sweetie Belle called out for her sister. “Fluttershy’s here!”
Almost immediately Rarity replied, “Oh Fluttershy darling come to the other room!”
Fluttershy walked to her creation room where Rarity worked on all her dresses. She gave a warm smile as Rarity gave her closest friend a hug.
“Fluttershy how are you? What brings you here?”
“Oh I’m doing okay. Um, I was wondering if you weren’t busy, I could talk to you about some things. But if you are busy, that’s okay. I can come back again another time…”
“Oh no I’m not busy. In fact, I’m just about finished with this new dress somepony ordered from Canterlot. Isn’t it dazzling?”
“It’s very pretty Rarity.” Fluttershy replied in a soft voice.
“Thank you darling. Anyways what were you saying about needing to talk about something?”
“Um, yes. But I’d rather not talk about it here. Somewhere else would be better… if that’s okay with you.”
“Of course dear! How about the spa? In fact we haven’t been there in ages.”
“Oh yes that sounds wonderful.” Fluttershy replied.
Rarity began to put the finishing touches on the dress and gathered up her satchel. “Sweetie Belle! I’m going to the spa with Fluttershy. Please be a dear and try not to burn the place down while I’m gone. You know what happened the last few times with you and Applebloom and Scootaloo.”
“Uggh how many times do I have to say it! That wasn’t my fault. And that only happened once!”
Rarity rolled her eyes and walked over to Fluttershy who gave out a soft giggle. “Well now, shall we get going?”
“Okay. Um, after you.” Fluttershy stepped aside for her friend to go through.
When the two arrived at the spa, Rarity told the manager, “Yes the usual!” It was unusually quiet for the two to not speak to each other during the spa treatments. But when they were alone in the hot tub, it was Rarity that broke the silence.
“Fluttershy dear are you alright? You haven’t spoken since we got here. Is something bothering you?”
Fluttershy began to turn red. “Well… um… do you remember a few days ago, at Pinkie’s party that she threw for that new pony?”
“Why yes I do recall that day with Scion. Such a nice handsome young stallion he is”
Fluttershy began to blush even more, feeling the heat coming off her face. “Yes well… um he’s kind of what I want to talk to you about…”
Rarity’s smile left her face. “What did he do? Did he do something to you? I swear to Celestia, I will…”
“No no he didn’t do any of that.” She said quickly.
“Oh. Well then what is it you want to talk about him?” Rarity was starting to get suspicious.
Fluttershy’s face felt so hot she believed the hot tub would boil over. She couldn’t hold it in any longer,
“IthinkihaveacrushonScion!” She blurted out quickly. Just the sound of his name gave her butterflies in her stomach.
“Aww well isn’t that cute!” Rarity was smiling and patting her on the back. “Why don’t you go talk to him and tell him how you feel?”
“Oh no I couldn’t do that. Besides, I don’t know if he likes me and I’m way too shy.”
“Nonsense darling I think he does like you. I could tell by the way he was looking and asking for you after you met him and hid.”
“Do you really think so?” Fluttershy asked.
“I don’t think, I know so! You two would be perfect for each other.” Rarity was excited. She was excited that her friend had finally taken an interest in somepony. “I have an idea. I know a way that we can see if he likes you and you be able to hear if he does.”
“Um… I don’t know I…”
“Nonsense darling. I won’t take no for an answer.” She took Fluttershy’s hoof and lead her out of the spa towards the boutique. “I need something at home first.”
Fluttershy swallowed. She was nervous for what event was about to happen.
**********************************************************************
Twilight knocked on the door to Rarity’s boutique. It was Sweetie Belle who answered.
“Hey Sweetie Belle, is Rarity home?” Twilight asked
“Hey Twilight, hey Scion! No sorry she’s not here. She went with Fluttershy over for some spa treatments.”
“Oh okay. Well when she comes back can you tell her that Scion and I dropped by?”
“Yeah of course Twilight. Bye guys!”
Phew! Thank Celestia that she wasn’t here. I’ve never been so nervous!
“Don’t worry Scion. We can still work this out.”
“Eh I’m not too worried about it.” Liar!
We started to walk back to Twilights tree home when a familiar voice called from behind. “Hey Twilight!” We both turned around and saw that it was Rarity. “Just the two ponies I’ve been looking for.”
“Why have you been looking for…” I was cut off when the sight of a familiar young pegasus with a pink mane and yellow coat poked her head out from behind Rarity. I was frozen in place as our eyes met. As if on cue, both of us squeaked and blushed madly taking a few steps back.
Twilight and Rarity noticed both of us. “Woooaaaahhhh.” Was all they could say.
