Rosy Yellow

Rainbow zipped over on blazing wings and stopped her with a steady hoof. “Dang, Fluttershy, at this rate I'd figure you for a crimson pony who dyed her coat yellow!”

“Rainbow Dash!” Fluttershy sat straight up, panting and heaving. “What are you doing here?!”

“Wondering if we just switched being drunk!” Rainbow Dash smirked. “And here I thought I had it bad!”

“It's... it's not b-bad!” Fluttershy stood straight up, trying to pout. All that came out was a delicate squeak as she hid her face behind her mane. “None of it is b-bad!”

“Heheheh... of course not, Fluttershy.” Rainbow rolled her eyes. “I'm just teasing you, girl.”

“Mmmmmmm... I really, really wish you wouldn't.”

“Still, what was that just now?”

“H-he was only visiting the cottage! I told him about the cages and he offered to fix them and—”

“Yeah, I got that.” Rainbow pointed at the top of the hill. “But what about that weird dance-thingy you just did!”

“Weird... d-dance... thingy...?”

“Y'know, with your necks?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow. “For a second there, I thought one of you was gonna suplex the other. I'm almost disappointed nothing happened.”

“Oh... Oh!” Fluttershy bit her lip and fiddled with her long locks of hair. “You... uh... you saw that?”

“Er... yeah? Was I not supposed to?”

“We... uhm... w-we've done it a few times now, Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy tittered nervously. “We w-weren't planning on doing it in public until sometime later. But... well...” She looked up with sparkling eyes. “What d-did you think?”

“... ... ...Huh?”

“Did... d-do you approve?”

Rainbow's muzzle scrunched up even more. “Of what?”

“Huh...?” Fluttershy's jaw dropped. “Wait... do... do you not know what the Lover's Nuzzle is?”

“Uhhhh... should I?”

“Oh... uhm...” Fluttershy glanced nervously out the side of her eyes.

“Does it involve having to wear a raincoat indoors?”

“What—No! Not at all! It... ohhhhhhhhhh...” Fluttershy sighed, then smiled tiredly. “Oh, Rainbow. Sometimes I think you're your own worse enemy.”

Rainbow Dash frowned. “Now what in the fluffsicles is that supposed to mean?!”

“Here...” Fluttershy stood up, coiled her wings, and turned towards the forest's tree line. “Walk with me, and I'll do my best to explain.”

Rainbow trudged after her. “Uh oh. Do I have to lower my voice and speak in a drawl?”

“Poke fun at Big Macintosh and I will h-hurt you!”

Hah!” Rainbow smirked as the two approached the trees. “By doing what?! Pinching me?”

Fluttershy's ears drooped. “I... I-I can pinch hard.”
