//------------------------------// // Shipping Flutterdash. // Story: Rarity Ships Ponies // by Chase123 //------------------------------// Rarity skipped around the room in the morning. She prepared her breakfast toast with butter and tea for herself got some paper and started writing ideas. It was going to be a brilliant day! There was a knock at the door, and Rarity let a tired Applejack in through the doors. The farm mare yawned. ''Why did ya call me here so early in the mornin?'' Applejack asked through a hint of annoyance coming across. ''Well its for a good reason.'' Rarity said hardly holding her energy. ''I had a dream that is telling me the future!'' ''Uh, a dream?'' Applejack said unamused. ''Certainly, and it is telling me a message!" Rarity said gasping as she was telling the story very much with drama. ''It was telling me to ship our friends!'' Applejack raised her eyebrow. ''As in go in a boat?'' Rarity rolled her eyes. ''Are you telling me that you have no idea whatsoever what shippings are?'' Applejack shook her head, and Rarity had a smile on her face. ''Shipping means a romantic couple, Applejack, were going to set our friends up!'' Applejack's eyes widened at the thought of it, and stared at Rarity as if she was crazy, she wasn't sure if her friend was going nuts or was drunk. ''Are you crazy!?'' Applejack yelled. ''Are ya sayin that we should set our friends up! We don't even know if they're lesbian, and-and they might love some other mare if they are lesbian and-how much beer did you drink?''' ''None.'' Rarity said her eyes widening. ''Obviously the dream was telling me something that I had to do, we shouldn't defy love! Besides we know Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are in love!'' Applejack sighed and backed away slowly. ''Ah really don't think ya should do this...'' ''Well were going to do it!'' Rarity said. ''Ah..'' Applejack said her mouth gaping. ''Ah don't really wanna have anythin to do with this..'' ''Look Applejack..'' Rarity began and then she smiled and flashed her eyes. ''This is for our friend's sake, and besides we both know that Rainbow and Fluttershy told us that they had a crush on each other. Were helping them set up!'' ''Ummm, well, Ah don't think we should um, help them out..''' Applejack said slowly trying to figure a way to get out of the nonsense she was getting herself into. ''Good! We better get started!!'' ''Umm, who the hay created shipping anyway?'' Applejack asked. ''I have no idea, the dream didn't say who..'' Rarity said as she trotted along the grass. This was the same place where Big Mac and Cherilee drunk their poisonous punch, and this would soon be the place Fluttershy and Rainbow would ''fall'' in love as Rarity had put it. Applejack felt like this was for nothing, not expecting the idea to work at all, it was preposterous, how could this dream tell anything? And she baked an apple crumble and apple pie for dessert for the two, as Rarity fixed them a meal, she put the meal down, and then waited for there arrival. There was a table a little further from them with some food but Applejack figured some other weird couple was dining there. ''Ah feel so immature doin this..'' Applejack said. ''Hide in the bushes, I set up some lovely music and hearts around the table!'' Rarity said pulling her friend into the bushes as they heard the trotting of the two mares. The two mares stopped and approached themselves. ''Rarity said we would meet here..'' Rainbow Dash said. ''I guess she's late..'' ''I guess so..'' Fluttershy said softly as she looked at the punch and food. Rarity managed to hold her giggles as she felt her plan was working. Applejack was curious how this was going to work out, and when Rarity would become sober. ''How's the day been going?'' Rainbow Dash asked. ''Good.'' Fluttershy said. ''Yours?'' ''Pretty awesome.'' Rainbow Dash said. The two looked at each other with love in their eyes, they were both blushing, and staring, their eyes soon became locked with one and other, Rarity knew it, they knew it, the time was right. Rainbow Dash bended over keeping her eyes locked with Fluttershy, she began to almost wrap her hooves around but held control. ''Fluttershy..?'' Rainbow Dash asked. ''What?'' Fluttershy said softly. ''I need to tell you something..'' Rainbow Dash said. ''It's rather embarrassing..'' ''You can tell me anything..'' Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash with red cheeks, and a little smile, gulped, as she looked very nervous, took a deep breath. ''Are you going to eat that?'' Rarity almost screamed, but Applejack pressed her hooves on Rarity's tightly. ''It looks like Rarity's not coming.'' Fluttershy said. ''You can take mine.'' ''Oh good, thanks!'' Rainbow Dash said putting Fluttershy's food onto her own plate. ''I guess we should go home since Rarity seems like she's not coming. I'm going to go eat dinner.'' ''Yeah, I need to feed Angel anyways, well see you tomorrow.'' Fluttershy said. ''You too.'' Rainbow replied. The two left and departed. Rarity jumped out of the bush, stomped her hooves and ground her teeth together. ''Why didn't she ask her out!!!!??''' ''Ummm, Ah need to see Apple Bloom..'' Applejack said nervous about Rarity's anger and quickly departed.
