Chapter 2: "Could I ask a favor?"

WARNING: SHORT CHAPTER AHEAD


Fluttershy flew swiftly above Ponyville, her hair swaying from the breeze. She frantically looked from side to side, searching for that certain cyan colored, rainbow maned pony.

She searched for about ten more minutes, before giving up and deciding that Rainbow Dash wasn't outside that day. She turned around and headed for Rainbow's house, flying faster than before. Fluttershy flapped her wings, forcing them to go the speed she wanted to. She once more tried to speed up, but the pain in her wings convinced her not to. She was breathing heavily, gasping for air, forcing her to go slower. Her face brightened at the faint outline of the cloud house, making her forget about how much her wings hurt. She flew slower, knowing that she didn't have much farther to go.

She finally reached the home in about five minutes, but for Fluttershy, it felt like an eternity. She slowly landed right outside Rainbow Dash's door, the soft cloud beneath her hooves. Fluttershy tried to fold her wings, but cringed at the sudden pain. She decided to go against the plan, and just leave them straight up. She knocked on the door, then waited for an answer. After a bit of pacing from Fluttershy, the door opened to reveal Rainbow Dash, just the pony she was looking for.

"Oh, hey Fluttershy! Wha-"

Fluttershy grabbed Rainbow's hoof and pulled her inside before she could finish. Fluttershy threw Rainbow on the couch, and took a seat on a nearby chair.

Rainbow rubbed her shoulder, "Ow! That really hurt you know?"

Fluttershy gave her a straight face, "It's cloud."

Rainbow Dash blushed, "Yeah, well..." She cleared her throat, "Anyway, what was that about!?"

"I came to ask you a favor."

Rainbow motioned for her to continue, "About?"

She took a deep breath, "Well you see, yesterday I took Zephyr out to look for a house of his own."

Rainbow's eyes widened as a realization dawned on her, "Is he still staying at your parents house!?"

Fluttershy silently nodded her head, "Well, that's kinda why I took to go look for one yesterday."

Rainbow face-hoofed, "I should of known! I bet he'll be fifty years old, and still living in that house!"

Fluttershy gave her a stern glare.

Rainbow cleared her throat, "Carry on."

"He didn't seem too excited at first, but once we reached the first house, he instantly lights up! So, I think he likes the house, and that this wasn't a complete loss."

Rainbow nodded her head and intently listened for more, but started to get lost in her own thoughts.Wow. I'm seriously doubting Zephyr. I honestly thought he was past this. Well, I guess I was wro-

"Are you listening?" Fluttershy asked.

Rainbow snapped her head up, "What?"

Fluttershy rolled her eyes, "Did you hear what I said?"

Rainbow blushed sheepishly, "Um... No?" She said with a bit of curiosity in her voice.

"Anyway, apparently he didn't like the house one bit... Or at least, that's what he was hoping we'd think..."


"...I'm just, scared, Rainbow! I mean, what if he slacks off again?"

Fluttershy had recently raised up from her seat, and started pacing, when she started to get to the point.

Rainbow tapped her chin in thought, "But... He can't slack off if he has someone to supervise!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking! And I was thinking... maybe you could check on him? I mean, you being the fastest and all..." She said in a quiet tone.

Rainbow brushed off imaginary dust from her shoulder, "Yeah, I have some free time... Have often do you need me to check in on him?"

Fluttershy hid her face behind a few strands of hair, "Maybe... Every-other day"

She raised a hoof to her ear, "A little louder."

"Maybe... Every-other day?"

Rainbow's eyes shrank to the size pin-points, "Wha? But I- that's- fine."

Fluttershy smiled wider than ever before, and she ran up and gave Rainbow a big hug, "Thank you so much! You don't know how relieved I am!"

Rainbow slowly patted her on the back, "Yeah, well..."

Author's Note:

I honestly think this chapter is a bit rushed, I didn't put much time into the favor, and it just seemed to fast. Other than that, this chapter covered what it needed to, and I'm proud of that. As always,
Your Cookie Muncher,
Rainbow Spectrum
