They were alone together in the clouds in the dark of the night. Luna's moon had since risen, bathing the landscape all around in its mysterious, luminous glow. A celebration was being had, as fireworks launched into the air and exploded into an array of beautiful colours a plenty.
Fluttershy was near her, singing a little song with her light, sweet, airy voice as it filled her ears.
Resistance. Rainbow Dash felt resistance, for reasons she knew, and yet, so much of her was trying to give in. To just give in to her love. So much of her wanted to, she wanted to love Fluttershy. She wanted to be with her. There was no downside, she could not deny it. Something she didn't even realize was holding her back.
Everything was changing when Fluttershy faced her, then, in a louder and clearer voice, despite it still being her own, sang to her.
But where was the music coming from? Some kind of an unseen source.
“We should be lovers!”
Stepping back a bit, cheeks flushed, Rainbow Dash was about to answer her in plain words, talking, even. But as she did, for whatever reason, her own words came out in song as well.
“We can't do that...”
But Fluttershy persisted, though sweetly and not forcefully, as she flew closer to her on the clouds, landing near her.
“We should be lovers...and that's a fact.”
Turning back to her, Rainbow felt her heart swell, though she still held back...but was slowly losing the fight.
“Though nothing will keep us together...”
“We could steal time, just for one day...” Fluttershy sang back, trotting over to her until they were face to face, very close together.
In that moment, as if their souls were joining in one, they sang together in such beautiful, perfect harmony. Much like once before with their sweet song about finding her a pet...only this was held a lot more than ever.
Rainbow even found herself smiling a bit as they sang together...slowly she was surrendering.
“We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes...”
It was then that Fluttershy moved closer to her, step by step. Her eyes were full of adoration, and her voice rang out like a bell, clear and beautiful, as she sang in love for her. Stronger than she'd ever sang before. Fireworks exploded in the sky from behind her, framing her form in a beautiful explosion of colours and darkness combined, adding to her beauty.
“Just because I...will always love you...” Fluttershy sang out with strong, sweet passion, the lyrical beauty of her voice floating to her ears.
“I...” Rainbow found herself singing back to her, by now surrendering to her completely, though still hesitating.
“Cannot help loving...” They sang together once more, again in wondrous harmony.
“You...” Fluttershy sang sweetly, nuzzling their noses.
“How wonderful life is...” Rainbow began, no longer holding back. She loved Fluttershy, she wanted to be with her. Nothing was going to stop her now.
“Now that you're in...the world...” The two Pegasi were leaning close to each other, lips only a few centimetres apart by this point.
“You're going to be the end of me, Fluttershy...I can tell...”
No more words were spoken as the two shared a kiss, bringing each other closer in a loving embrace. The fireworks all around them exploded in the sky, harmonious music filled the air, singing could be heard from down below as all kinds of ponies sang in celebration.
Everything felt wonderful...
A snort and then a yawn escaped Rainbow Dash as she found herself awake, staring up at the sky above her. It had occurred to her then she had been napping on a cloud after finishing her weather duties, no wonder. She had even fallen asleep completely, enough to actually dream. It was now the third dream she'd had about Fluttershy. Thankfully, they didn't occur every time she went to sleep, but the third one in the course of less than a week?
Rainbow Dash was beginning to wonder what these all could have meant. While they were far from unpleasant by principle, she couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable about having very sweet, romantic dreams about her best friend. Especially since she was (about to be) dating somepony else. Was her mind, or her heart, trying to tell her something? But the more she thought of it, she figured all the more it was the guilt and the fact that Fluttershy's confession of love for her had managed to all but make an impact on her.
She made a note to herself to see Twilight about it soon. Maybe after her date with Blazing Comet.
“Speaking of which...” Rainbow grinned to herself. “Today's the day! Guess I'd better get going!”
Flying off to her cloud home, the daredevil figured that tonight's date with the REAL mare of her dreams would surely put her mind off all of this. It was time to enjoy herself, have fun, and go on a date with the one she truly belonged with. That much was for sure. If anypony was perfect for her, it had to be Comet. Bread and butter. Or rather, dynamite attached to a lit fuse.
“All right, darling, now hold still! I need to make sure it's just right! Of course, I made sure that I wouldn't have to make any drastic alterations to it. All right, that's it! There you go! Wonderful!”
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, but obediently stood as still as she could while Rarity was adjusting and re-adjusting her dress. She looked in the mirror at herself, pretty pleased with the result. Rarity had managed to create a dress that managed to combine elegant classiness and her own personal style all at once.
The dress was dark blue with long sleeves down her forelegs, with the bust consisting of a long neckline patterned with a rainbow strip, lined jeweled beads of a crystal form. The skirt, as Rarity put it, rode high on her flank but didn't make her look like a tank. It had pleats for flair, and the them was lined in gold silk pleats. Along the middle, it split in order to give her hind legs some walking room, but would not matter in the long run if she flew. The material was soft, much like cotton, breathable, and aerodynamic.
On her hooves were stylish golden shoes, her mane was washed and neatly tied back with a gold phoenix-shaped hair clip, while her bangs were smoothed out and out of her face. Rarity even applied a light amount of makeup, to which Rainbow had initially refused. But looking at her reflection now, she didn't mind it at all.
“You look beautiful, Rainbow Dash!” Rarity said sincerely, smiling widely. “Turn around, please.”
Rainbow did so, turning in a circle to give Rarity a full look of the dress on her body in all directions.
“Perfect! I think we're just about done here,” Rarity placed all of her items down on the nearby table with her magic. “You can get down.”
“Finally!” Rainbow hopped off the modeling platform. “There isn't a thing wrong with anything, you don't have to worry.”
“Hush, I most certainly do! You are my friend, this is your first date, and I want you to look your best! You ARE going to a restaurant in Canterlot, after all. They oftentimes have dress codes if you choose to put on clothes, so you do have to dress appropriately!” Rarity gave her another once-over, nodding in satisfaction. “You should be good to go, darling!”
“Well...thanks, Rarity...I uh, appreciate it,” Rainbow smiled a bit sheepishly. “So, how much do you I owe you?”
“Ah ah ha! No charge!” Rarity waved it off dismissively. “It was a favour for a good friend!”
“What? But Rarity, I can pay you, I just-”
“Shush!” Rarity silenced her with her hoof. “I insist, dear. Please. Think of it as a gift.”
“...Okay, fine,” Rainbow conceded. “Tonight is going to be awesome! Nothing's going to ruin it for me now!”
The front door opened, to which Rarity went to attend to, while Rainbow looked at herself once more in the mirror. Stylish to her liking, but still elegant in some kind of “fancy” way. Not bad at all, she figured.
“Ah, Fluttershy! Whatever brings you here, darling?”
Rainbow jolted.
“Oh, I just wanted to bring you some cupcakes you ordered from Sugarcube Corner. I was over there earlier, and Pinkie asked me if I could bring them to you since she has to go with the Cakes for a big catering order they have this evening in Manehattan,” Fluttershy explained, stepping inside.
“I see!” Rarity levitated the box with her magic, bringing it inside. “Thank you, dear! You're very kind!”
“No problem, I wanted to-”
Fluttershy froze when she noticed Rainbow Dash in the room. Even though she was quite within plain sight, it was a wonder how she had not seen her clearly until this very moment. But when she did, she wasn't sure if she regretted it or not.
“Fluttershy! Hey!” Rainbow smiled brightly at her.
Fluttershy didn't respond. She only stared, wide-eyed.
Simply put, Rainbow looked stunning.
If she thought she looked beautiful in her gala dress, and then gorgeous in her bridesmaid dress for the Royal Wedding, both of those now paled in comparison to how she looked now. Her simple yet still elegant way of enhancing her style was amazing. The styling of her mane, the light amount of makeup on her face was nowhere near drastic enough to change her appearance, but was just enough to enhance her looks. If she had a flower behind one ear, it would've only made it more awesome. But the way she looked now, simply beautiful, was more than enough to stop Fluttershy in her tracks. As well as that, she was speechless. More so than usual, of course. If that was saying anything.
Her heart pounded, her muscles were weak, and she just about lost all ability to think clearly. Now she wished she had a photo, but no way could a photo capture the vision she was seeing at this moment.
'Oh Rainbow Dash...you're beautiful...so beautiful... How do you manage to somehow take my breath away? No words...they should have sent a poet... Oh, Rainbow...' Was all she could think.
For a split second, she wondered what could possibly have been up with the getup. The outfit was clearly made for her, so she wasn't modeling for the fun of it. If anything, she only ever modeled a dress if it was specifically for her. And when that happened, she needed one. But why did she need one? She had two elegant dresses (the rule of thumb was to always have at least one nice outfit in your closet), what did she need this one for? Something elegant but more simple? That made sense, but why would she need it on the spot? Was she going somewhere?
It dawned on Fluttershy.
It was Thursday.
This was for her date with Blazing Comet.
The luckiest mare in Equestria.
“...I'm sorry, but I have to go now. ...Have a good date, Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy managed as sincerely as she could, despite that her eyes were completely betraying the smile that didn't reach them.
Not waiting for an answer, she left the shop in tears.
All at once, Rainbow's mood deflated. She hadn't even seen Fluttershy since the accidental meeting a few days ago, when she had approached Rarity about the dress. Now just one glimpse of her, barely exchanging a sentence or two with her, and she was gone? She could see how surprised Fluttershy looked, but then all of a sudden, she was sad. What had been going on?
“...She was stunned by how lovely you looked. I could tell,” Rarity said softly. “Considering how she feels, I can't say I'm surprised she reacted the way she did. And...well, you can probably tell why she left just now.”
“Because it's another big reminder she lost her chance,” Rainbow said gravely, still staring at the door.
“Well...I am sorry you feel this way, Rainbow Dash,” Rarity said sympathetically. “Even I myself had felt the same back then. But don't worry, you both just need some time. And tonight, you have a wonderful date! Surely that will help things.”
Sighing, Rainbow Dash just sat down on the floor. She barely even heard what Rarity was saying, and could only think about the way Fluttershy looked and how abruptly she left. Especially why she even did. Her heart sank, crumbling. Despite her goals, she still felt out of options of what she could possibly do to make her best friend smile again. Whatever it would be, she hoped it would work.
Fighting back tears, knowing it ruin the makeup, she instead sighed heavily.
“...If only there was someway it could help Fluttershy,” Rainbow murmured softly.
Looking to the designer unicorn, she caught her fried studying her with a thoughtful frown. Her lips were pursed, and she didn't seem to be quite looking at her. Was something on her mind?
“...What?” She prompted.
Rarity blinked, then shook her head as she adjusted her readers' glasses. “Nothing, dear. I was just thinking, that's all. Now, I think you're ready. You should head home, it is quarter to five. Have a good evening, Rainbow Dash,” she smiled a bit, then started to head upstairs.
Rainbow nodded, heading toward the door. “...Hey, um, Rarity?”
When the unicorn turned to look at her curiously, there was a couple moments of hesitation before Rainbow spoke up again.
“Sometimes I wish I could be that pony for her.”
Fluttershy felt pathetic.
Did this heartbreak really last a long time? It felt to be lasting an eternity for her. Would she never get over this? Would she be doomed to misery for the rest of her days?
Sniffles escaped Fluttershy as she walked along the streets of Ponyville. By now she had managed to stop crying, and nopony seemed to be staring at her. That was good. She felt relieved to know she could finally venture outside with nopony staring at her and wondering why she was so sad.
All she wanted to do was curl up in her bed, go to sleep, and try to dream of better days. For all she knew, this heartbreak was still going to last for some time. After all, it wasn't just some kind of a puppy crush. It wasn't as if she liked a filly across the classroom in flight school and it turned out they liked somepony else. A crush was easier to get over in the long run.
But love?
Fluttershy could see now, all the more, despite that she knew this would come, just how hard it was to move on from. Grateful as she felt for Rainbow not being dishonest or leading her on in order to spare her feelings, it did still sting her heart. But seeing her now was only reminding her of what she lost.
Rarity and Twilight never failed to assure her that she would be okay. That she would eventually start feeling more happy for Rainbow Dash instead of sorry for herself.
“Oh, hey there Fluttershy!”
Startled, the timid mare looked up with surprise and came to see the very pony she was immensely envious of. Blazing Comet stood a few feet ahead of her, wearing her mane down for a change, and dressed in a stylish gray suit jacket. No doubt for her date with Rainbow Dash this evening.
A part of Fluttershy was almost terrified of talking to her. What if she ended up saying something she would regret? It was ridiculous, she had no reason to hate her. Comet had been nice to her ever since they met, and she could tell that even if she knew about her feelings for Rainbow Dash, she wouldn't be smug about it. Would envy be all she ever felt toward Comet? She hoped not, the other mare deserved better than that.
Scolding herself for ever feeling such stupid things, Fluttershy managed to compose herself as best as she could.
“H-Hello...Blazing Comet...how are you this evening?”
“Pretty darn good!” Comet grinned, indicating to her saddlebags on her back. “How about you? ...Um, don't mind my saying, but you look a little upset. Are you okay?”
“Oh....no, I'm fine...” Fluttershy lied.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Comet looked skeptical, but she seemed to let up and sighed. “Okay, then.”
Nodding, Fluttershy was about to walk away, to simply just wish her a good evening and be on her way. This was exactly how it was planned in her head. She could feel it. She could already imagine herself saying what she would be saying. It would be pleasant, though brief, and the two mares would be on their way. Pleasant closure for the evening, nothing more. Fluttershy was determined to be a good pony about this. It was the least she could do. For Rainbow Dash. For herself. Even for Comet.
However, this was not what happened.
“...Blazing Comet...please...take care of Rainbow Dash...”
Comet, who had been about to walk away as well, stopped and looked at her with surprise. Fluttershy recoiled, looking away and hiding her face with her mane. Why had she said that?
“Fluttershy, what do you mean?”
As much as Fluttershy did want to simply dismiss it as nothing, or even lie (how could you lie about that?), she knew now that it was impossible. She had to say something, especially considering that Comet not only heard her, but was asking for clarification.
Nervous. Anxious. Terrified.
“I just...Comet, please, make her happy. That's all I've wanted for her. I want her happiness more than anything...and if you're the one to give that to her, please, take that wonderful...amazing gift and make her the happiest pony alive...” Fluttershy averted her gaze to the ground yet again, tears in her eyes. “You don't have to do it for me. Do it for her. ...Just please make her happy... Please...”
Moments of silence passed, but Fluttershy didn't dare look up. She was too scared to. She could not believe what her mouth was saying. Her heartbreak was really making her say things in her head that she didn't want to speak out loud. Unfortunately, the opposite happened. True as her words may have been, this was not how she wanted to say them. Not like this. Not in the middle of pathetic post-heartbreak periods. When her mind and heart weren't exactly holding her together.
Tears fell down her face, Fluttershy tried to fight them back but it was no use. It was overcoming her once again. Her love for Rainbow Dash, her broken heart, her sorrows, her fears, her hopes, her dreams, everything. Every mere thought would drive these visions, these feelings.
Feeling a hoof on her shoulder, she looked up to see Blazing Comet looking down at her with a serious, yet sympathetic look.
“Fluttershy...you're in love with her, aren't you?” It sounded to be more of a statement than a question.
Stricken, Fluttershy gulped and stared at her with wide, terrified eyes. Biting her lip, more tears runing down her face, the timid pony was unsure how to respond. She couldn't lie, but couldn't tell the truth. Nothing came out of her mouth, and looking at her was just scaring her then. Instead she looked down away from her, trembling.
“You can tell me the truth. I can handle it,” Comet's voice said kindly.
A sniffle escaped Fluttershy, and she managed to muster up the strength to respond. “...Yes. I am.”
Met with silence once again, it further terrified Fluttershy, especially since the hoof on her shoulder was lowered. What did this mean? Comet's words were kind and so were her eyes, but what if the confirmation angered her? Did she not trust that Fluttershy would never do anything to sabotage them? Would this leave her in fear? Her mind was full of various questions, scenarios, and theories she couldn't quite conclude, to say the least. With her heart pounding, her muscles contracting, and her stomach churning with anxiety, the timid Pegasus was unsure of what to do or even say.
“I knew it,” Comet said, and this caused Fluttershy to look up at her.
“...You...knew?” Fluttershy blinked.
Comet smiled and nodded. “You bet I did. I knew from the moment I met you. The way you look at her and act around her, it wasn't exactly all that subtle. As I saw you two together more and more, it just kind of clicked.”
“...Oh...Comet...I'm so sorry! I-I know how it must look, but I want you to know I would never try to ruin things for you two! ...You...you won her over fair and square, Comet.”
“Hey, come on now, she's not some prize.”
“That's not what I meant!!”
Wide-eyed, Comet stood back, looking sheepish. “Oh, sorry, Fluttershy. I didn't mean it the way it sounded. But the point is, I know what you're trying to say.”
“I promise you I won't make things hard...please don't feel guilty. I'll be fine. It is my own fault for taking too long...”
“Hey, cool it. It's okay. To be honest, I was suspecting it, and yet I wasn't completely sure, since it was never openly stated, either. Had I been sure...man, I'm sorry, Fluttershy. I never intended to steal her away from you,” Comet said, looking sympathetic and remorseful. “I would never do that.”
“...I understand...” Fluttershy managed, sniffling.
“That's why you're upset, you're heartbroken, aren't you?”
“...I don't want to talk about it. It's a long story. ...Rainbow knows.”
“I see,” Comet nodded. “Well Fluttershy, you are really sweet to want her happiness...even when your own is on the line. I think Dash is very lucky to have a good friend like you.”
Fluttershy sniffled, mumbling a soft thank-you.
“And I mean that, too. I know most ponies who would actually...well, try to sabotage or threaten either party when somepony they liked was taken from them. You're being the bigger pony in this, and I really respect that of you,” Comet admitted, sounding very sincere. “Anyway, I also wanted to tell you again that I will do my best to make her happy. Dash deserves it. And...well, even though I don't plan on hurting her, you have my permission to kick my flank if I ever do.”
“Oh...but I don't...I wouldn't...”
Comet chuckled. “The offer still stands. ...You going to be all right? Again, I'm really sorry...I hope you know that.”
“...I do...thank you,” Fluttershy murmured. “I have to go. ...Have a good date. ...You're very lucky, Comet. You two are perfect for each other, and that's wonderful how you found love in one another. I wish you two the best of luck.”
Not waiting for an answer, Fluttershy rose into the air and flew away.
Simply put...
When I saw this had just come up I stopped what I was doing and sat down and read this (hopefully I won't be late for work...) I have not been disappointed.
Best. Dream. Sequence. Ever!
RD looks like she will become putty in Fluttershys hooves. Now all we need is for her to drift off around Comet (preferably not in bed with her... that would be taking it too far too fast) and start talking in her sleep now that could get interesting results.
Comet really comes across as a nice pony. You are really doing a good job with her character.
She really took the news from Fluttershy (disappointingly) well and like someone who doesn't intend to alter course just because Fluttershy has loved Dash for so long.
The part where Shy walks in at the end of RD's dress fitting was epic... I just loved everyones response.
I really am hopping for some... background thoughts... to be going on in the next chapter. This story just keeps getting better and better.
And as always FTW.
This was a really touching chapter. I'm really liking how you're writing Blazing Comet's character. She was so nice to Fluttershy, but I have to wonder if she'll tell Rainbow about Fluttershy telling her that Rainbow knew about her feelings. She seems smart enough to guess this occurred after the fireworks, and Rainbow lied to her about why Fluttershy was upset. Still, given how she responded to Fluttershy, I'm thinking that she'll either let it go or tell Rainbow that it isn't an issue.
As per usual, I can't wait for the next part.
WOW Come on 841098 , you stole the exact comment I was going to write! Even the part how I say "And as always FLUTTERDASH FTW " Now I'm sad. Only thing left to say is the mood this chapter set. I could feel my eyes get teary over this chapter. One more heart wrenching scene and I would have to lock the door and get the tissues. And for that I commend you. I would elaborate on your other amazing plot points here, but it seems FlutterDash7 already covered the highlights and my comment would just be repeating that. But back me up here, he totally stole my sign off catchphrase. Just look at the your blog post I have 4 or 5 comments on. The first one has it. Well I'm still gonna put it in.
And as always, FLUTTERDASH FTW
841098 Hee! That WOULD be something, for sure! I might do it, we'll see! But oooohhh yeah, wasn't the dress fitting so fun? XD Thanks for your input!
841250 Awwww! XD Sorry about that! But yes...FLUTTERDASH FTW!!
841196 That would make for an interesting idea, actually! I'll have to look into that as I go along. But it might be the latter if I do that! Thanks a lot!
841250
Shows we think alike aye :) and sorry about stealing your sign off catchphrase. We have both been commenting on the same stories etc for a little while now and I couldn't resist slipping it under just this once. (It won't happen again.) But it looks like I'm going to be in need of one for myself
Yes. Telling Dash its not an issue would be cool. It might also add to undercurrents that tell her its not all right.
Alternatively... an awkward date between Dash and Comet would be awesome too and totally justified as both ponies know about Fluttershy.
Most of it is already said, so there is not much more to say.
As they've said, I also love the way we get to know Comet. I've read a few fanfics by now with an original character. Since it's a character we don't know, we need information on how she is, which you do great. Comet is understanding and kind, and I am so glad that she is. The way she comforts Fluttershy, knowing she loves Rainbow Dash, just makes her a great character.
I like how Rainbow want to be a loyal friend to Fluttershy, while a good marefriend for Comet.
A well written chapter, once again.
Your stories are filled with emotions through and through. love them.
I would have written something myself, however "It's like painting a masterpiece, it's a work of heart" don't think I'd do well xD
Keep up the amazing work. 'Gal, and stay AWESOME
841377 Ha! Guilty! Totally called it (Serious voice) If I catch you using it again, I'll hunt you down. (Happy voice) Hee hee Have a nice day!
841439 Thank you so much! I'm glad Comet's character has turned out as well as she did, and as I was writing that, it just seemed like an interesting idea to have Comet somehow know about it. And in turn, she's kind and nice about it, even comforting Fluttershy. Which is, again, turning away from making the "other man/woman" a jerk and taunting. Because hey, I've established that she's a kind and giving pony, so it only makes sense!
Uh-huh! That's just what Rainbow Dash would do! Element of Loyalty and all! I think she would still try to be a good friend to Fluttershy even in this. And at the same time, a good marefriend to Comet.
Awww, that's great, thanks! I try all I can to put emotions in the story, and I'm glad they manage to convey as well as can be. Oooh! And 'Gal? SWEET!
It's so sad. However now that Fluttershy has let out her feelings she should start feeling a little better now emphasis on little.
Once again keep up the good work.
Just a question where is Pinkie Pie in this?
Also stay GREAT!
Heck yeah! Uploaded on my birthday! Couldn't of asked for a better present.
I connect with this story so much. Unrequited love is something I'm all too familiar with. The descriptive quality and character interaction is absolutely stellar. Keep them coming.
Another good one by you. It always amazes me how you can present the whole situation in a fair and simple manner.
Can't wait for the next write-up, G! The date should be interesting, with interesting development and looooots of awkward moments where Rainbow pretends to not be distracted.
I uh...also took to reading Heated. Let's just say I won't be looking at the coupling right for the next few days.
842612 G, eh? Cool! I like it! XD Oh yesiree! The date shall be....well, hopefully, that good! Awkward and fun!
xDDD Uh-oh! Spaghetti-O's!
This is so intresting Rainbow is feeling guilt, Fluttershy sadness, and Blazing is pretty much on the guilt way to, Intresting to see how this pans out.
841365
No problem. I'm glad to provide some ideas to this awesome story. I can almost picture it happening during the date. Comet will tell Rainbow that she ran into Fluttershy. To which, Rainbow will awkwardly ask what happened, and Comet will tell Rainbow. When Rainbow begins to attempt an explanation to her lying, Comet will assure Rainbow that she understands. It would have been awkward, but she will remind Rainbow of how lucky she is to have Fluttershy as her friend. Of course this will keep Comet a likable character, making their breakup that much harder.
On a side note, it would be interesting if you decide to keep Comet and Rainbow together, and as a result, Fluttershy accepts her friends' happiness and moves on with no bitterness or envy.
On second thought, buck that! FlutterDash FTW!
843768 Wow! You kind of just predicted what happens! Nice stuff! But yeah, that is pretty much how it all comes to be. The date's going to be awkward at some points, but will still have development and we'll all come to see a bit more of Comet's character. So yeah, it will be tough when we see them break up, in principle, but at least we enjoyed the journey.
XDDDD Yes! BUCK THAT! FLUTTERDASH FTW!!!!
No worry though, even Comet gets her own little happy ending, so not all is lost.
845423
Just finished your latest chapter. Awesome, but that goes without saying!
I'm really enjoying Comet, and I want her to be happy. Thanks for letting me know that.
I have nothing to say that hasn't been said.
Sad, cute story. I feel soo sad for Fluttershy.
"The skirt, as Rarity put it, rode high on her flank but didn't make her look like a tank." I see what you did there
Man, its 5:10 am and i am just reading through this. I thought it would be... well i knew it was going to be long, but not like this xD
just different from what i expected. Speaking of differences, it is interesting to see a fic where Fluttershy is the main lover, all the other ones I'VE read have had it the other way around. Also it seems i am having a different reaction from the other FlutterDashes, I liked the story coming into it but it changed and took some odd turns that are going to be hard to recover from to get a favorite...
Love the story.
What I like about it most is that usually around this chapter I can tell the ending and get it spot on, but this story keeps me entertained. You, NintendoGal, are an artist, your colors are words and your canvas is the internet. I love your FlutterDash ships.
Keep up the good work!
~Jeta~
Wow, this story is so underrated, I wish I could like it more than once
I have actually checked, this has over 90,000 words and that technically means its a short novel!
I admire your dedication good sir/madam!
You make it so hard to hate comet. She's practically loyalty,honesty,generosity and kindness all in one. I will hate her though because she's gettin in the way of FlutterDash.
Great I'm stuck in a love hate relationship with comet. On the one hoof, she's perfect but on the other hoof, she's ruining FlutterDash.
I've decided I hate blazing comet.
Mmm it kinda bummed me everytime Raimbow Dash is about to look foward to her relationship with Comet Fluttershay always appears at the moment to get into Rainbow's mind.
