Pinkie Pie hopped down the quiet streets of Ponyville and hummed a little tune as she did. Ponies here and there were waving to her and she gladly waved back with a grin. It was now mid afternoon, around 3:15pm and the pink pony was on her way to visit Fluttershy, on Twilight's suggestion. Not really knowing what they would end up doing until tonight, Pinkie figured that she may as well just see what she was up to or maybe have a cup of tea. Still not sure, she just kept going alone her way over to the edge of the Everfree Forest where her (hopefully) soon to be marefriend lived with all of her little animals.
After Pinkie Pie had left to go see Fluttershy, the rest of the girls decided to make sure that everything was set up for the after party. Rainbow Dash was in Pinkies room, fixing some of the streamers and blowing up some more pink and yellow balloons. Applejack had made her way back to the farm to clean up the area around the spot where Pinkie and Fluttershy would be. Picking up some of the stray apples that had fallen off the tree and making sure that the tree itself looked alright. Twilight and Rarity were over at Rarity's Boutique sewing together 6 simple dresses for all of them to wear. Even though it wasn't a formal occasion, she still felt the need to at least make something small. Twilight was helping her with the workload and giving helpful design ideas. They were all very excited about this whole thing.
The sun was bright and the wind was warm. It would be a perfect day and the perfect evening. Pinkie Pie was now right beside the small creek that lead all the way down to Fluttershy's cottage. There were plenty of small and colourful fish swimming happily in the shallow water. Pinkie stopped and stared at two certain fish that were swing together. It made her smile to see that love can be for everyone. She continued on her way and saw the bridge leading over the small creek to the shy mares house.
Pinkie always loved Fluttershy's place. It seemed that no matter what kind of weather was going on in Ponyville, it was always happy and sunny over here. She saw some birds atop a tree branch that seemed to be greeting her. She waved back with a smile and faced Fluttershy's front door and knocked.
Fluttershy was inside having a small hay and daisy sandwich while relaxing on her couch. There were tons of cute little animals around her relaxing with her. Some were playing across the room with each other. Angel Bunny was eating a salad that Fluttershy had made for him. The yellow pony heard a knock at her door so she got up and made her way over to it. She answered it and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Hi Fluttershy! How are you doing? Are you good? You look surprised!" Pinkie jumped up and down.
"Oh my, um, hello Pinkie. I didn't expect to see you." Fluttershy moved back to let her friend in.
Pinkie hopped in. "Yeah sorry to barge in, I was just checking up on you."
"Oh, I appreciate it Pinkie. Do you want something to drink?"
"Sure," Pinkie said as she took a seat. "So how have you been? You've been kind of quieter lately."
"I know. It's been a very confusing few days. I was actually worried a little about you. I've heard that you have been acting strangely." Fluttershy said as she came out of the kitchen with a glass of water.
"Oh don't worry about me! Everything is alright. It'll be perfect tonight!" Pinkie realized on what she said and drank her water awkwardly.
Fluttershy was sitting beside her pink friend and took note on what she had said. She gave her kind of a confused look because what on earth could that of meant? She tried to push the thoughts out of her mind and focus on relaxing. Most of the animals had also calmed down and started to rest. Angel was actually all cuddled up on the top of Fluttershy's hair, resting.
"So how have you been Flutters?" Pinkie asked.
"Oh, well, just taking care of the animals and thinking some things over."
"You're so good with animals," Pinkie smiled. " You're so sweet, and kind..."
"Th-thank you Pinkie," Fluttershy blushed a deep red.
There was no doubt in Pinkie Pies mind that she was flirting with Fluttershy. For whatever reason, she didn't even feel strange doing so. It felt good, great even! It just felt kind of natural to do so. Fluttershy was, after all, an amazing mare.
Is Pinkie...flirting with me? How can she be doing that? Not that I'm mad...I like it. How should I respond? She doesn't seem nervous. Fluttershy was confused as she thought.
"You're to kind Pinkie Pie. I think that you are sweet too." Fluttershy finally responded. There was an awkward silence for about 10 seconds. Pinkie Pie broke the silence.
"Fluttershy?" Pinkie was almost whispering.
"Um, yes Pinkie?" Fluttershy softly spoke.
Just then, Pinkie leaned forward and placed a soft kiss right on Fluttershy's lips. They connected with a small force that felt like the touch of a cloud. It felt like they were kissing for over 5 minutes but it was really only a couple of seconds. The duration didn't matter though. What mattered was that Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were in the middle of a passionate kiss inside her home, on her couch.
Pinkie was surprised that the shyness of the yellow Pegasus was not as bad as she thought it would be. Fluttershy accepted the kiss with no hesitation or struggle. Pinkie was thinking that maybe Fluttershy actually loved her back! It only crossed her mind for only half a second because she was so focused on what was happening.
Fluttershy was freaking out inside her mind. She was kissing the mare she loved, and Pinkie was the one who kissed her! That meant only one thing in her mind. That Pinkie Pie loved her just as much as she loved Pinkie. It was an amazing feeling to have somepony's lips on hers. Never before had she felt this, she never wanted it to end.
The two kissed for a few seconds longer until they both pulled back and looked at each other. They smiled and Pinkie took Fluttershy's hoof in her own. The yellow mare blushed and looked down at the pink hoof holding hers.
"I love you Fluttershy." Pinkie said looking into the Pegasus's eyes.
"I love you too Pinkie." Fluttershy smiled.
"You're lips tasted like cotton candy, Pinkie." Fluttershy giggled as she sat beside the pink pony.
Pinkie Pie giggled loudly and look at Fluttershy. "Thank you! You're tasted like sweet nectar." Pinkie giggled once more.
"Do you want to stay here for a little bit longer? I could make some tea." The yellow Pegasus replied.
"I would love to!" Pinkie jumped up from where they were sitting.
Fluttershy got up from the couch and made her way into the kitchen to start the kettle and get out the tea bags. The two had relaxed for about 10 minutes after their first kiss. They knew they were in love with each other and both felt like going up to the Canterlot mountain and shouting it to the sky. No pony had yet asked if they were now marefriends but they figured that the answer was yes and they were both happy with that answer.
Fluttershy filled the kettle with water and lit a fire for it to cook on. She got out two mugs with small woodland creatures painted on them. Next she opened a cupboard and took out two tea bags at let them into the cups on the counter. She then made her way back out to the living area of her cottage to relax more with Pinkie Pie as the water boiled.
"It's boiling. Should be ready in a few minutes." Fluttershy took a seat beside Pinkie.
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie replied.
"So, um, Pinkie..." Fluttershy started, "Are we marefriends?"
"Well," Pinkie leaned in and kissed Fluttershy, "What do you think?"
Fluttershy blushed and smiled at her new lover. It felt, normal. Well, it was normal. The yellow mare wondered what her friends would think about this new relationship. Would they dislike them? What if they hated both of them. For a second, Pinkie Pie saw the worry in her partners eyes.
"Fluttershy, you don't need to worry about our friends. I've told them all that I love you and they fully supported me. They are happy for both of us." Pinkie reassured.
"H-how long have you loved me Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm not sure, Flutters. I started feeling so strange when your name was mentioned. I got nervous whenever I saw you. It just kind of happened."
"Oh, alright. I love you." Fluttershy said smiling.
"I love you too." Pinkie smiled along with her.
Pinkie looked at Fluttershy with a kind of seductive look. She then leaned in a kissed her once again but with much more passion. Fluttershy gladly accepted the kiss and put her front hooves around Pinkie's neck and held her close and deepened the kiss. Pinkie giggled in her mind at how aggressive the shy mare was being. She really did love Pinkie Pie. At that moment, Pinkie broke the kiss, but only for a second to catch her breath and plan for what was about to happen.
Fluttershy looked really happy and satisfied with the long kiss and looked liked she was willing to do what Pinkie had in mind. The pink earth pony looked at her lover then pushed her down onto the couch with a soft force. She then went back down to Fluttershy's soft lips and continued to passionately kiss her. The Pegasus on the bottom decided that she wanted to be in control here, so she slowly slid her wet tongue into Pinkie's mouth, awaiting the 'all clear' from the pink pony to continue. Pinkie happily accepted Fluttershy's tongue and played with it with her own. One thing was certain in both of the mares minds; this was going to be a magical night.
It was around 6:00pm and four friends sat at Sugar Cube Corner. They had all finished their final preparations and were now waiting for Pinkie Pie to return from Fluttershy's cottage and let everypony know to get ready and to tell Rainbow Dash to go get Fluttershy and bring her over to the farm. Though something was a bit off. Pinkie was supposed to be back at the sweet shop 10 minutes ago. The sunset was still an hour away but time would certainly fly. Rarity and Twilight were sitting at a table, Rarity with a small outfit she had made for Pinkie, relaxing and wondering where Pinkie Pie could of went off too. Of course, it was possible that she was still over at Fluttershy but why would she forget about something this important? Applejack was sitting at the front counter that doubled as a bar stand along with her rainbow maned friend who was eating a few cupcakes all at once. They too, were wondering why Pinkie was late. Applejack kind of brushed it off but for Rainbow, it was a different story.
Ever since Rainbow Dash had told Pinkie that she would bring Fluttershy over to Sweat Apple Acres she was so focused on that one objective. What was bugging her was that Pinkie said she would tell Rainbow to do so, but Pinkie wasn't here. The Pegasus had enough of the waiting.
"Alright! Come on girls, we need to go find Pinkie. She shouldn't really be late like this." She slammed a hoof onto the table beside her.
"Settle down Rainbow," Twilight started, "Maybe she just got caught up at Fluttershy's."
"I guess, but this is important to her! And to me! It's my job to make sure Fluttershy get's over to the farm!" Rainbow stood up.
"Listen Rainbow Dash, if you really want, you can go to Fluttershy's and see if Pinkie is still there." Rarity suggested.
Rainbow Dash sighed and looked around the room at all her friends. She was worried about Pinkie and wanted this whole sunset plan to work. It couldn't do any harm to just check and see if Pinkie was still there.
"Alright, I will. I'll come back and tell you girls what's going on, ok? Rainbow asked.
"Don't take to long now. We all still have a party to throw" Applejack said to Rainbow as she made her way out.
The skies over Ponyville were starting to dim and Rainbow took off to the few clouds that were left in it. Going towards Fluttershy's cottage she had a smile on her face and her heart and mind felt really good. This was without a doubt, what she wanted. Not just for Pinkie and Fluttershy, but for herself too. She would be happy if Pinkie was happy. Rainbow took the thoughts out of her head as her childhood friend's cottage got bigger over the horizon. She landed a few steps away from the wooden door and made her way up to it. Knocking on the door, she expected to be greeted by Fluttershy, but instead was face to face with a huge smile and a pink pony. What was Pinkie Pie still doing here? Did she really forget about tonight? As soon as Pinkie realized who it was standing in front of her she got a look of confusion on her face. Then, her eyes widened with the sudden realization on why Rainbow was here. Pinkie took a few steps forward and closed the door a little bit and whispered at Dash.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Dashie! I can't believe...I...I..." Pinkie was so frazzled.
"Pinkie, what happened? Did you forget about tonight?" Rainbow wasn't mad, just confused.
"No, of course not! Well, maybe. When I got here, I told my feelings to Fluttershy. I didn't know why I did it so soon or why I did it in her home, but I just did." Pinkie put a hoof to her face in disappointment.
"Wow!" Rainbow smiled, "Really? How does she feel?"
"Oh, well, she loves me too." Pinkie looked up from the ground. "You're not mad? Or disappointed?"
"Of course not! This is great Pinks!" Rainbow hugged Pinkie and she returned the embrace. "But you know, it's defiantly not to late to miss the sunset! I think you two should go." Rainbow smiled.
"You're right Dashie! Wow! I'll go get Fluttershy. But don't mention to her that I'm taking her to the farm. It will surprise her!" Pinkie perked up.
"You got it!" Rainbow waited at the door as Pinkie went to go get her new marefriend.
Fluttershy was still sitting on the couch relaxing after a very wonderful evening with Pinkie. It was her first time with a mare, or anyone for that matter, and she was glad that it was a pony like Pinkie. In the midst of all the excitement, she actually forgot about the tea she was supposed to make. Luckily for both of them, the water was still hot enough for them both to have their cups of tea. After the magic that both of them created on Fluttershy's couch, they had since relaxed and played with the animals and ate a late lunch together. It was amazing for both of them.
Pinkie Pie came jumping into the living room where the yellow Pegasus was sitting and jumped right onto the couch. Fluttershy noticed that she seemed very, very happy about something.
"Hey Flutters! I have a surprise for you!" Pinkie smiled brightly.
"Oh, r-really?" Fluttershy was both excited and nervous because Pinkie Pie surprises were usually extreme, "That's sweet of you. What is it?"
"If I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprised you silly filly! Just do me a favour. Rainbow Dash is waiting outside and I need you to go with her to Sugar Cube Corner. Don't you worry though, you'll see me soon! Trust me!" Pinkie said.
"I trust you Pinkie. Alright then, I guess I'll see you soon?" Fluttershy got up from her couch.
"You bet your flank that you will!" Pinkie Pie kissed her marefriend, "Love you Flutters!"
"I love you too Pinks, see you soon!" Fluttershy made her way towards the door.
Just like Pinkie Pie had said, Rainbow Dash was waiting outside of her cottage. The cyan Pegasus was pondering over the creek just down the front path of her fellow Pegasus's home. Rainbow looked over the few fish that were swimming around the creek and smiled. She never really noticed how beautiful nature was. Fluttershy went down and stood beside her rainbow maned friend. She too, looked into the creek and admired the beauty of the fish and gently moving water. She didn't think that Rainbow even noticed her but that would be understandable seeing as the creek was mesmerizing at this time of the evening. Rainbow finally looked over to her fellow Pegasus.
"Oh, hey Fluttershy. Sorry, I was distracted." Rainbow laughed.
"Oh, it's alright Rainbow Dash. The creek is quite beautiful."
"Yeah..." Rainbow just agreed looking back at the water. "Right! Anyway, I'm guessing Pinkie told you to come with me?"
"Indeed she did," Fluttershy looked at Rainbow, "To Sugar Cube Corner, then?"
"Let's go." Rainbow said with a smile.
The two friends made their way over the small bridge that made the creek able to cross. It was now 6:30 in the evening and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were walking threw the streets of Ponyville. There were still a few local ponies out and about doing their final chores and work for the day. Rainbow Dash thought to herself for a minute. She again, realized how beautiful Ponyville was in the evening. The sun was almost on the horizon and it shined on the water in the fountain that the two ponies passed. Town square was a nice place to walk thew but Rainbow always chose to fly above the town. She decided that she would actually walk here more. It was nice.
Fluttershy was beside Rainbow as they walked by the fountain. She too, thought that Ponyville was a sight to be seen in the evening. Another thing that was on her mind (besides Pinkie Pie) was the fact that the two were actually trotting thew town instead of flying. It was strange when Rainbow wanted to walk instead of fly.
"Everything alright, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked.
"Of course," Rainbow said. "Why do you ask?"
"Well it's just that we are walking threw town instead of flying."
"To be honest Fluttershy, I wanted to talk to you about you and Pinkie..." Rainbow looked at her friend.
Oh no! I thought Pinkie said that everyone supported us? Maybe this isn't what I think...but what if? No, stop it Fluttershy. It can be anything, relax. Fluttershy thought to herself in the matter of 5 seconds.
"I just want you to know, I'm really happy for you Fluttershy. You've been my friend longer then anyone and you've always supported me. It's my turn to support you." Rainbow and Fluttershy had now stopped beside the fountain. "I...you girls are an amazing couple and I know you will last forever." Rainbow had let a tear slip from her eye.
Fluttershy noticed that her friend, the toughest pony she knew, was crying. Why? Fluttershy didn't really know how to react to this. Maybe...did Rainbow have feelings for Pinkie? Or even herself? It was sure a possibility but Fluttershy had to know.
"Rainbow...? D-do you love Pinkie?" Fluttershy's voice was soft and loving.
Rainbow looked at the shy Pegasus and nodded. It was a bit painful but it had to be said because it would be for the absolute best. It would only get worse to see Fluttershy with Pinkie if Rainbow didn't say anything.
"I do," Rainbow quietly said, "But listen to me Fluttershy. She is yours. Love her with all your heart and soul. You both deserve each other and I just wanted you to know that I still support you. I will get over this with you guys supporting me."
Fluttershy hugged her cyan friend. Rainbow gladly accepted it. It was a very touching moment and Rainbow started to feel better just knowing that Fluttershy was still her friend.
"You are an amazing friend and a great Pegasus Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy started, "One day, you will find somepony that will love you."
"Thank you Fluttershy, for understanding. Now, come on, we need to get you ready for your surprise." Rainbow Dash chuckled to herself and the two continued their way down to Sugar Cube Corner.
Pinkie Pie was at Sweet Apple Acres on a hill in the west field. The sun was still slowly descending onto the horizon. It would be much closer too if Princess Celestia didn't slow it down at Twilight's request. It was going to be such a big surprise to Fluttershy when she arrived here. All of her romantic dreams would come true. Pinkie Pie sat below an apple tree atop the hill she was on. The rotten apples and stray apples had been removed from the ground and the grass was at a nice length for laying down on. There were few clouds in the sky but the ones that were there made the scene perfect.
Pinkie Pie closed her eyes for a moment and what she saw was wonderful. Herself and Fluttershy in a home, living together. It was an amazing sight for Pinkie, and only a matter of time, before it came to be a reality.
