A ray of sunshine woke Pinkie from her sleep. She looked around, and her eyes landed on Fluttershy. Her mane was all messed up and covered her face. Pinkie had to admit that she was beautiful, and smiled at the thought. Carefully, she sat next to her friend and sighed. Sometimes she wished Fluttershy was brave to tell her what bothered her. Ever since they this whole mess started she had been more distant. She didn't talk... Not that she did that anyway, but she still wondered. Slowly, Fluttershy began to move around and woke up. She looked startled, when she first saw Pinkie, but then smiled. Pinkie backed away a few steps to give her some space.
"Good morning Fluttershy!" Pinkie said cheerfully.
"Oh, good morning Pinkie, how long have you been awake?" Fluttershy asked. Pinki was folding her blanket when she answered.
"A couple of minutes, I didn't want to go without you" Pinkie said. Fluttershy looked around, feeling ashamed for having her friend wait for her to wake up. She looked at Pinkie, and saw her smiling. 
"I'm sorry" she said. Pinkie's expression changed and looked at her oddly. Shs shook her head and patted Fluttershy's shoulder.
"What for? You didn't do anything wrong. I got to tell you that what you said yesterday did wonders to me, I feel sooo much better now!" Pinkie said. Fluttershy looked at her unsure if she was telling the truth.
"Really?" She asked. She only said the truth, she did care a lot about Pinkie,maybe more than she thought. 
"Yeah... But Fluttershy can I ask you a question?" Pinkie asked. Fluttershy just nodded.
"Why are you so distant with me lately? Not just with me but with all of us. Like I told you before, you can tell me anything and I won't judge you" Pinkie said. This was the question Fluttershy didn't want to hear. It meant she had to lie to keep her friendship with her friends. She couldn't tell her because she felt Pinkie didn't feel the same way. Yes, she loved Pinkie. At first she thought it was just a crush, but soon it began to grow larger. If hurt her to think that Pinkie was about to find someone special, who wasn't her. She was so lost in thought, she didn't notice she had tears in her eyes.
"Fluttershy, what wrong?" Pinkie asked gently. 
"Nothing Pinkie. It's just I can't tell you, there are some many things you don't know about me. I really want to tell you, but I can't find the courage. I'm sorry, maybe someday I'll be able to tell you" Fluttershy said with a sigh. Pinkie had a hurt expression, but soon replaced it with a gentle one.
"It's okay, forget I asked. We better get going, the girls must be waiting for us.
They walked out of their"room" and went to the empty space their considered the living room. Everyone was there, except for Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Pinkie and Fluttershy, walked to the circle their friends had made and sat there. As soon as Twilight saw them, she yelled. 
"Rainbow, AJ, everypony's here!" Just then everyone heard a grunt and thud. There was some kind if conversation that couldn't be left unheard.  
"Rainbow, get your flank up!"Applejack said. There was a laugh and then faded to another tone. 
"Just five more minutes" Rainbow grumbled. Applejack let out a frustrated sigh and pulled Rainbow's tail. Rainbow still laid with her face on the dirt.
"You said that ten minutes ago. Either you get up or you won't get any kisses from me tonight" Applejack said with a smirk. Rainbow immediately, got up and looked at Applejack.
"I'm awake! Jeez, you can't a let a mare sleep can you?"she said with a laugh. She kissed Applejack and they both walked out. 
Outside, they were all looking at each other, trying to understand what they had just heard. Both of them stopped in their tracks, when they saw that everybody was staring at them. They looked around akwardly for a moment, until Applejack spoke up. 
"Howdy" she said. They all answered back, but none asked about their conversation. It was clear to all of them, and they all respected them.
"So, what do we do?" Rainbow asked. They all thought for a moment until Twilight spoke up. 
"Let's just talk with you Pinkie" she said gesturing to the pony." Have you felt anything for anypony yet?" Twilight asked. Pinkie looked around nervously, she hadn't had any feelings yet. 
"No, and I don't know if I can. It's just not enough time to fall in love" she said with a frown. Twilight thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Well, maybe if they were to kiss you then you would know" she said. 
At that moment, everything stopped. Nobody saw it coming, especially Pinkie Pie, who thinking at that moment. They all had different reactions, but the same thought, what? Rock Candy kissed Pinkie. Rainbow Dash was surprised , Applejack had an eyebrow raised, Twilight was confused and Fluttershy had a frown. The rest were all watching, until the two broke the kiss. Pinkie had a confused look on her face, while Rock had an sheepish smile. 
"Why was that for?" Pinkie asked. Rock looked at her and truthfully told her the truth.
"I like you Pinkie, I really do. And I would like to help you, maybe by you giving me a chance" she said. Pinkie just stared at her still confused.
"What?" Was heard from behind them.
