Chapter 1:A Clingy Pinkie
Cheering at the top of her lungs, Pinkie Pie raised her arm to set off her air horn. Just after Rainbow scored another goal in her latest soccer match.The loud noise nearly made Fluttershy jump out of her skin. Although, she wasn’t nearly as excitable as her pink friend. Fluttershy waved a small flag in support. While, the two friends watched the game Fluttershy was lost in deep thought.
*Things are a lot noisier since, Pinkie has been attending Rainbow's soccer matches...Now that I think about it. I don’t remember Pinkie ever being interested in Rainbow's matches. Yet, she has been to every game for the last few weeks...I wonder why?*
Fluttershy was torn from her thoughts when Pinkie Pie blared her air horn. After the game the two of them met up with Rainbow. In a burst of excitement Pinkie Pie glomped Rainbow, causing the two friends to tumble to the ground. Rainbow was a little alarmed when Pinkie knocked her over. But she shrugged it off knowing that her friend was a little more excitable than most. Even though Fluttershy knew it wasn’t any of her business. She couldn’t help but feel curious about Pinkie’s behavior. In the end Fluttershy decided to keep quiet about the matter for now.
Over the course of the last few weeks; Fluttershy noticed that Pinkie went everywhere Rainbow went. Pinkie was acting like a baby duckling with the way she followed Rainbow around.
A few days after her soccer match, Rainbow started to notice how clingy Pinkie had become. At first it was cool having a big supporter around. But after awhile it started to feel a little strange. She couldn’t even remember the last time she was alone. Rainbow managed to give Pinkie the slip for a short while. Seeing that the hallways were Pinkie free. She let out a small sigh of relief allowing herself a moment to breathe. Fluttershy walked out into the hall and towards her locker.
Rainbow saw this as her chance to talk her worries about Pinkie Pie’s recent behavior. Telling Fluttershy about the last two weeks of her time with Pinkie. As she confided her feelings to Fluttershy. It felt as if a huge weight was lifted off of her shoulders. Fluttershy absorbed every word of Rainbow’s tale.
“I've noticed it too, she has been very attached to you lately.” said Fluttershy ”I didn’t really notice until your last soccer game. I don’t ever remember her cheering for you like that. Pinkie Pie seemed to go way over the top...” Fluttershy commented not really sure how to explain it.
Rainbow sighed “I really love all the attention and everything but it’s starting to get a little weird.”
“What are you going to do?” asked Fluttershy.
Rainbow groaned “I don’t know! I just can’t tell her to get lost!”
Rainbow paused for a moment as she scratched her chin. “Maybe, you can find out why she is acting like this?” asked Rainbow.
Fluttershy hid behind her pink bangs. “Oh I don’t know, I’m not really comfortable with poking around in other people’s business....” mumbled Fluttershy.
“Please,for me?” Rainbow asked with a soft smile. ”I really wanna get to the bottom of this!”
Fluttershy let out a soft sigh as she gave in. ” I guess I can give it a try.”
Rainbow Dash pulled Fluttershy in for a friendly hug. ”Thanks Fluttershy! I owe you one!”
The next day at school, Rainbow started to walk to the front entrance of CHS but stopped in her tracks. She froze in place for a second or two after spotting her pink friend. Rainbow quickly ducked for cover, before walking to the back entrance through the gymnasium. From there she headed down the hallway and to her locker.
Pinkie continued to wait for Rainbow until the first bell rang. Realizing that Rainbow must have either gotten to school earlier. She let out let out a sad sigh as she turned around and headed to class. As Pinkie walked into her first class and was pulled aside by Fluttershy who was also in her first class.
“Hello Fluttershy-” Pinkie began to talk as Fluttershy cut in.
“Pinkie can I ask you something?” Fluttershy began ”So I’ve noticed for the past few weeks you have clinging to Rainbow Dash like a little remora to a shark’s underbelly. I just was wondering why?”
“Like a what to a shark?” Pinkie asks confused.
“It’s a small fish that clings to…..Pinkie don’t change the subject! Just answer the question!” Fluttershy retracted a little with a sheepish grin ”...If you...Want to….That is...” added the shy girl as she hid behind her long pink locks.
“Well you see-” Pinkie began. “One day me and Dashie were aloneonedayandsomething happenedand I then realizedthat I loveherand I’ve beentryingtosee….”
Fluttershy had to stop her energetic friend because Pinkie had a tendency to talk a little too fast.
“Pinkie Pie please slow down.” asked Fluttershy.
Pinkie Pie nodded in agreement before continuing with her tale.
“Well Rainbow and I were both practicing in the music room a few weeks ago. So after we finished; I asked her if she wanted to have a sleep over. She said yes of course, then later that night. We played games which Rainbow won every single time! Somehow the subject of love came up you know about past crushes. It was then, I looked over at her while we were talking. Suddenly something just clicked! I was just like wow Rainbow is so awesomely beautiful! Somehow, I kind of just knew.” stated Pinkie while shrugging her shoulders.
“So you were trying to make sure that you love her? And that's why you're following her around? ” asked Fluttershy.
“Yups! Turns out that I love her more than anyone! Cross my heart, hope to fly! Stick a cupcake in my eye! And that’s saying a lot because I love everyone! Since, you know, everyone is my friend!” Pinkie giggled with a bright smile.
As Pinkie finished talking, the final bell rang signalling the start of a new class. They both took their seats. Pinkie propped her elbow on her desk her thoughts with filled with a certain rainbow haired athlete. Absent mindedly Pinkie watched the minutes slowly pass her by.
“Tick! Tick! Tick!”
The sound got louder as the last minute of 1st period ticked by. Pinkie had to force herself not to scream at the clock to move faster!
“Rrrriiiinnnggg!”
Pinkie popped up and zoomed out of class with her things in order to look for Rainbow. Fluttershy pulled out her phone to check her messages. She saw that she had a new message from Rainbow.
Fluttershy quietly read it to herself. “Fluttershy meet me in the music room when lunch starts!”
As the day went on Rainbow did everything in her power to avoid her super energetic and clingy friend. She hid behind and inside of lockers and in bathrooms around school, just to avoid Pinkie. By lunch time Rainbow was exhausted, when the lunch bell rang. Rainbow grabbed her lunch from her locker she then she walked straight to the band room. Opening her bag lunch, Rainbow took a rather large bite out of her sandwich. Only to enter the band room moments later, with a mouth full of food. She looked around for Fluttershy. After taking another large bite; Fluttershy walked in and set her down her own lunch.
“So did you find out why Pinkie has been following me?”
Fluttershy avoided eye contact with Rainbow, she wasn’t sure if she should tell Rainbow that Pinkie has a crush on her. The stubborn athlete arched an eyebrow; she could tell that Fluttershy knew something about their pink friend.
“Well tell me!” Rainbow requested impatiently, in that very moment Pinkie bursted through the door.
“Hey! Why didn’t you guys come sit with us?” Pinkie asked while glancing between the two of them.
“Well we were discussing...“ Rainbow stuttered trying to find something to use as an excuse.
“Songs!” Fluttershy blurted out with a shy smile.
“Songs?” Pinkie repeated with a confused look on her face.
“Yea, we are discussing what kind of songs we should play at our next performance. It’s a secret project that the two of us have been working on...” said Rainbow while she nervously scratched the back of her neck
“But I can help you Dashie!!” Pinkie complained as she got a little closer to Rainbow’s face.
Pinkie’s close proximity to her made Rainbow feel very uncomfortable. Yet, hearing the new nickname “Dashie” made her blush a slightly. No one has ever called her Dashie before. Rainbow thought it sounded kind of cool but she would never openly admit it to anyone.
“Pinkie Pie, please leave!” yelled Rainbow.
With a downcast expression Pinkie walked to the door.
”I’m sorry, Pinkie I didn’t mean to shout at you.” Rainbow rubbed the back of her head. “I just need to talk to Fluttershy for a bit at least until lunch is over.”
”Aww okay...I’ll see you later then...” muttered Pinkie.
Pinkie made her way back to the lunchroom to her friend’s table she took her seat despairingly. Rarity frowned when she noticed Pinkie’s gloomy mood. Applejack and Sunset both giggled as they fed each other.
“What is the matter deary, did you find Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy?” asked Rarity as she eyed the lovey-dovey pair.
“Oh I found them, they were busy discussing what songs to play at our next show,” sighed Pinkie Pie.
“But isn't our next show next month?” asked Sunset Shimmer absent mindedly as Applejack fed her a bite of salad.
Meanwhile, Applejack accidently got a small glob of ranch on Sunset’s cheek. Both girls were completely oblivious to Pinkie’s sour mood. With a goofy smirk, Applejack grabbed her napkin to wipe Sunset’s face. Sunset felt her heart beat a little faster as Applejack gazed lovingly into her eyes.Rarity looked at the doting couple shaking her head; she elbowed Applejack breaking her out of her trance. Applejack shot a glare at Rarity for elbowing her, Rarity motioned her head towards Pinkie. Applejack felt her annoyance dissolve after she noticed Pinkie’s ever worsening attitude. Seeing how she went from cheerful and energetic to depressed and sorrowful after returning.
“What’s wrong sugarcube?” asked Applejack with the raise of an eyebrow.
“Well, I feel like Rainbow doesn’t like hanging out with me anymore...” Pinkie mumbled while poking her food with her fork.
“Well of course she does, I mean you guys are friends. ”Sunset remarked.
“Maybe...I just don’t know anymore.” whispered Pinkie just before she slammed her head on the table in frustration. The others looked at each other with worried expressions.
Now that Pinkie was gone, Fluttershy slowly inched away from Rainbow Dash causing Rainbow to scoot closer. This process went on for a few minutes until Rainbow got fed up.
”Enough!” She half yelled.”Fluttershy tell me what you out found out!”
Fluttershy whimpered as she shook her head no. She hid her face behind her bangs. ”I..I can’t…” she muttered.
Rainbow groaned. ”Why not?!”
Fluttershy continued to shake her head, Rainbow was starting to get frustrated. Rainbow now towered over her, in her fright Fluttershy let out a tiny whimper.
”I don't want this to ruin your friendship with her,” said Fluttershy in a half whisper.
“If that happened then it might cause everyone else to stop being friends!....” Fluttershy said raising her voice slightly more than normal starting to gain a little bit of confidence.
Rainbow slammed her fist down on the nearest surface. ”What do you mean you can’t tell me!” growled Rainbow. The fierce look in Rainbow’s eyes made Fluttershy flinch. Causing the shy girl to tear up and start crying. Seeing Fluttershy’s tears instantly cooled off Rainbow’s anger. She knew that her pounding headache was no excuse to be so insensitive towards Fluttershy. Rainbow’s anger was now directed to her own recklessness.
”Fluttershy, I am sorry...I didn’t mean to go off the handle like that. I’m just not feeling well.”
After a while Fluttershy calmed down, she looked over at Rainbow. Fluttershy put a shaking hand on Rainbow’s shoulder.
“If I tell you….You have to promise that you won’t let this destroy your friendship with Pinkie!” demanded Fluttershy.
“I promise.” said Rainbow half heartedly.
Fluttershy sighed. “Pinkie Pie loves you.” Fluttershy said staring at Rainbow, who was now laughing.
“That’s the big news? Pinkie loves me, ha! That girl loves everyone!” chuckled Rainbow.
Fluttershy shook her head, her expression was dead serious. Rainbow’s laughs were reduced to a nervous chuckle.
“ No Rainbow, she is in love with you” stated Fluttershy.
Rainbow looked away as her cheeks turned a light pink. ”I...Um..Wow….So Pinkie...Loves me?”
Fluttershy’s words echoed in her mind as she slowly absorbed the impact this big news could have. Not sure what to say, Rainbow stood up without another word. Taking the rest of her uneaten bag lunch to the nearest trash can. Rainbow went to her next class as the bell rang. She couldn’t shake the thoughts spinning through her head.
* I’m not into girls! I like guys! I mean, sure I check out my friends every now and then. But that doesn’t mean I like them more than a friend? * thought Rainbow.
The rest of the day was a haze as Rainbow marched from one class to another. Later that night Rainbow layed in bed thinking as she wrestled with her thoughts. Eventually sleep overtook her.

You have done well for a first story. he more fluid the writing gets teh better the chapter becomes. This will come the more you write so keep it up. I always enjoy a good PinkieDash so I will keep an eye for this.
7481627 thank you so much for the kind words!!
Well! It looks like a good start so far. ^^ Hopefully things will end well.
Suggestions:
Might wanna italicize the character's thoughts. Trust me, mate, it looks a lot more cleaner, along with the fact it helps the readers a whole lot more.
Since Rainbow is speaking, put a comma before the dialogue begins. Same with all the other ones.
But besides that, I'll be keeping an eye on this, definetly has some potential.
7483389 Thank you so much i will fix those right away! And thank you for not being mean about it!
7482684 Thanks for comment! All the support is really boosting my confidence to write more! So really thank you for the positive feedback!
