I don’t know. Can they?
“Can two mares kiss each other, Twilight?”
Scootaloo’s question made Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, drop her book and let it fall to the ground with a large thud. In the room with them was Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, who also froze and turned to the young innocent filly. The reason they were there was because Twilight had called a meeting among friends for that day ather castle, and all of them except Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had arrived so far.
Now all of that became forgotten, however, as Twilight examined the pegasus filly in front of her for a minute before asking, “Uh...why do you ask?”
“Well,” Scootaloo started with a smile, “I was scootering through Ponyville to try and find Rainbow Dash and ask her if she wanted to check out some of my new stunts, when I saw her at a distance sitting on a bench behind a building with Fluttershy, and after about a minute she kissed her on the lips. It was really weird because I thought only mares and stallions could kiss each other, so I thought I’d ask you about it since you’re the smartest pony I know.”
The room was dead silent as the ponies took in the new information brought to them. Applejack’s eyes were almost as wide as her open mouth, and Rarity had a similar expression. Pinkie seemed to be surprised by the news, but pleasantly, because she had her hooves on her mouth and looked like she was close to bursting in celebration. As for Twilight, she had a concerned expression on her face. Not only about the news that had just been shared, but about the inquisitive Scootaloo who had no idea about the circumstances surrounding it.
“Well, uh, Scootaloo I think it’s best if we talked about this in private. I’ll explain everything then. Just go into the study room right there and I’ll meet you there.” She pointed a lavender hoof towards a door in the castle, which Scootaloo quickly trotted to, shutting the door behind her as she went it. Twilight then turned to her friends.
“If Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy get here before I’m done then act natural. They have a reason for not telling us about this yet and we don’t want to intrude on their personal lives. Also if Rainbow shows up asking for her buck ball tell her I found it and left it in the dining room.”
With that said she walked over to the room and went in, shutting the door behind her with a click.
“Flutters and Dashie are dating?!” Pinkie yelled, throwing confetti in the air she got from...somewhere. “This is so exciting! And surprising, but mostly awesome! I can’t wait to throw a super ginormous party for them! It will be a Flutterdash party! We’ll invite everypony and it will be so amazing and fun and-”
Applejack had placed a hoof on Pinkie’s mouth to end the stream of pure excitement from the party pony. “We can’t do that yet! We need to make sure that the two of them are comfortable sharing, and Ah don’t want to make either of them mad.”
“Well I’m a little sad that Fluttershy failed to mention that she preferred mares, let alone was dating one,” Rarity chimed in, “it makes sense now why she never wanted to date any of the stallions I suggested.”
“She was probably just really shy to admit it,” Applejack suggested, “you know how quiet that pony tends to be.”
“I suppose so, but I wish I had heard it from her or Rainbow Dash instead of Sweetie Belle’s friend.”
“I think they’re adorable together,” Pinkie said, jumping up and down in excitement, “just think about it. She’s a shy pegasus who cares about the cute animals of Equestria. She’s an aspiring Wonderbolt who came from the wrong side of the tracks. But now they have one thing in common, love.”
“Uh, yeah, that,” Applejack said confused, “Ah just hope the two of them aren’t too scared to tell us about their relationship and all. It’s not exactly a comforting topic to talk about.”
“I hope so too,” Rarity said, “while Ponyville may be rather liberal when it comes to those types of relationships, there are some places that are not as accepting, like Las Pegasus.”
“And even then the topic is relatively new to Ponyville. Ah remember when Bon Bon and Lyra were the only couple here.”
“Well, regardless we must let them tell us themselves. After all it is the right thing to do.”
“How do you ponies think they confessed?” Pinkie Pie asked, “A cake? A song? A picnic under the stars? An elaborate scavenger hunt? One of them faked their deaths and then revealed that they weren’t dead so that they could tell the other pony how they really felt? Rainbow Dash dug up one of Fluttershy’s deceased animal friends and made it into a hand puppet and gave it to her as a present.”
Applejack and Rarity looked at Pinkie Pie for a moment before they each took one long step away from her.
“Darling, I really think you should take up Twilight’s suggestion of her services for therapy,” Rarity said, still creeped out.
“And who do you think confessed first?” Pinkie said, ignoring the suggestion by her unicorn friend.
“Ah think it would have had to been Rainbow because she’s a lot braver than Fluttershy is,” Applejack pointed out.
“While I normally would agree with you,” Rarity began, “I think that Fluttershy is a lot more straightforward with her emotions, while Rainbow Dash seems to ignore them or push them down, refusing to admit them.”
“Yeah, Ah guess you have a point. Who do you think was first, Pinkie?”
“Well, both your arguments are good, but I think it was Dashie because I still think that she confessed by doing the hand puppet plan.”
Once again the two other ponies scooted away from Pinkie. Suddenly Rarity gasped out loud.
“You girls don’t think they’ve, uh, you know…”
“They’ve what?” Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow at Rarity’s reluctance.
“They’ve...done it, do you?”
“What!?” The question made Applejack shoot up in surprise. “Rarity, what a question to ask. Ah know that those two are very responsible and wouldn’t. Ah mean, they can’t get pregnant from it and all, but I trust they wouldn’t until they’re committed, right?”
Just then the doors to the castle opened and the last two members of the mane six walked in, talking amongst themselves. As soon as they got near to their three friends they stopped.
“Hey,” Rainbow Dash said with her signature smile that dropped after looking at her friends. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong, darling,” Rarity said trying to hide her blush behind a smile that was clearly fake.
“Are you sure, Rarity,” Fluttershy asked with concern, “we can always talk in private if you need to.”
“Nope,” Applejack chimed in, “we’re all good here.”
Both her and Rarity were trying to act like everything was normal and that they were happy, but failing spectacularly. Meanwhile Pinkie had her hooves over her mouth again and looked like her head was going to blow up. When Rainbow saw this she cocked an eyebrow and shook her head. She was clearly used to this behavior from the party pony at this point.
“Well, before Twilight shows up, I’m going to go and try to find where I left that buck ball of mine,” Rainbow said looking around.
“Oh, Twilight said it was in the dining room,” Applejack said.
“Cool, Thanks.”
“I’ll come with you,” Fluttershy said with a small smile.
“Awesome! I could use a little company!”
Suddenly, as if Pinkie could no longer hold it in, she half asked half shouted, “Are you guys going to make out in there?”
Applejack and Rarity turned to her with angry expressions and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash with equal blushes. As soon as she saw them she smiled nervously and shrank back.
“Uh, w-what m-makes you say that, Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash stuttered, her confident voice and demeanor gone.
Applejack sighed before stepping forward. “We know that you two are dating.”
There was a pause in which Fluttershy and Rainbow exchanged a worried glance before Rainbow wrapped a wing around her girlfriend. “How did you guess…”
“Scootaloo was going by on her scooter and saw you two. She rushed here to ask Twilight about it,” Applejack admitted. “This one here,” she pointed to Pinkie, “wasn’t supposed to say anything.”
“A-and you’re not m-mad at us or anything?” Fluttershy asked in an almost inaudible voice.
“Of course not, darling,” Rarity said with a smile, “wherever did you come up with such a silly idea? We will always be your friends, no matter what occurs!”
Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy, “I told you that they would accept us. You worry too much.”
“Says the pony who wanted to have our first date in that hidden part of Sweet Apple Acres so Nopony would see us,” Fluttershy teased.
“Awww, you two are so adorable together,” Pinkie said, “when do you guys think I should plan your getting together party for?”
Before Fluttershy or Rainbow could respond, Twilight came around the corner with Scootaloo.
“Well I think it’s fabulous that you two are in love, and I have no problem with it.”
“So you two are girlfriends, now?” Scootaloo asked.
“That’s right, Scoots,” Rainbow Dash responded.
“Ok, I think I understand now. But I do have one more question.”
“Shoot, squirt.”
“How do you two make foals?”

Honestly out of all of them she seems the most likely to swing that way
And thus, our sequel is teased.
10376764
Probably not, honestly, but it would take a LOT of explaining.
10376412
Well there was that whole last episode of the show that implied AppleDash actually happening...
Anyway! This was a cute one. I'll give it a Heartfelt D'awww~/5
Short, Simple, and Cute. Very well done overall.
10376815
Mostly joking on that but I can already see the M6 working out how to explain such a thing.
10376897
True, and thanks kindly for your D’awww.
10377055
I wanted to make it short and cute. I’m not very good at one-shots and this is the first one I looked at and thought was really good, so thanks for the kind words.
10377066
We can only imagine
Personally my head cannon is that all Equestrian (and some griffin) therapists have a small warning sign instructing their receptionists to divert Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich to the nearest vaguely celebratory event if either of them show up at their office.
10377161
Makes perfect sense. Most therapists would have given up on either of them to be honest.
Hey scoot, that was epic..
Simple answer: Magic.
10377322
That last part was one of my best ideas while writing this story
10377328
After all, magic makes it all complete
10377335
literally that line made my day...
10377105
Indeed.
10377335
You should make a sequel where the mane 6 try to answer that question
Old quote I'm sure I'm gonna butcher.
"Can two gay people make a child?"
"No, but we'll certainly keep trying."
And in this world there's literal magic, so even less reason to worry about what they do.
10376412
I always thought Pinkie would be the most obvious, though I think she would swing both ways just as easily.
10377344
. Actually that’s a good idea for a story (or sequel)
I’m glad
10377753
It’s possible. At first this was only going to be one thing, but I’ll consider a sequel.
10377758
I’d actually think it would be possible for two mares to have a child with magic, and I think it would be an interesting story to see them convincing Twilight to help them
10377759
Really? I still think Rainbow is most likely gay, but I can see Pinkie swinging both ways too.
Uh, why would Scootaloo of all ponies ask this? She has two lesbian aunts who live with her!
You don't want to know, Scoot. Trust me.
10377891
Honestly that’s a good point. I don’t know, but I thought the story would be better with Scootaloo, so let’s just say her aunts haven’t explained it to her yet, maybe no one will notice.
10377903
Yeah, maybe when you’re older, Scoots
Scootaloo: Can two mares kiss each other?
Twilight: no.
Writers of 90% of non-EQG MLP romance stories: Welp our stories are ruined! Nah, we'll just make our headcanons that they can.
That was the first thing I thought when I saw the title of this story
10379694
Honestly true, though
As a FlutterDash fan, I'm good with any story that gives the pairing love. But it takes being specially well-written for me to truly enjoy it. On that front, you succeeded. Furthermore, the comedy was solid gold. There's just something about Pinkie Pie being Pinkie that makes any situation funny. That mummified pet puppet was a hoot! And I'm surprised that Applejack didn't warn the Pegasi not to let her catch them rutting in her fields!
Congrates on such a great story. You're definitely getting a favorite from me.
(Btw, they never did answer Pinkie's question of who confessed first).
10377188
You haf no idea. Ze pink menace is... beruchtigten in ze field.
That said, I do think she was best in here!
10376764
I mean, frankly, the easiest possible answer is just "we don't." Honest, accurate, and probably enough to satisfy the squirt for now. The more... ah... elaborate explanations can be saved for her to figure out with the rest of the CMCs some day when they're between cutie mark problems. ;)
10474699
. Thanks for the fav, and it’s hard to say who confessed first, because Rainbow sucks at expressing her feelings and Fluttershy is, well, Fluttershy.
I’m really glad you liked it! I can’t take credit for the joke, sadly, because it was from a fanfic I read a long time ago, but I thought it would be perfect
10474916
I have been tossing around ideas for a sequel, but I don’t know if I want to tape on one if it’s just going to fall off into the pit of unneccessary sequels. I’ll make the announcement of a sequel is coming though.
10377758
In my theory, children are literally brainchildren, created from the act of combining brainwaves and magic, then housed within the mare. Now, in their culture, it is wrong for same genders to subject themselves to such personal magic, but is COMPATIBLE...
No, um... doing it involved...
Thanks for the fic! It was cute!
10720609
No problem! Glad you liked it!
