The Worst Hearts and Hooves Day Ever

by super3rainbow1

The Storm

Rainbow Dash woke up sore and tired. Yesterday probably was the most uneventful day. The only thing she had wanted was for the day to be over already and then she could hang out with Fluttershy the next day. She had wasted most of her time that day reading and practicing flying tricks. She felt a little guilty about doing that. She could have been spending some of her time with her other friends.

She rolled over and got out of her bed. A book fell over on the floor but she chose to ignore it. She tried to stretch out her limbs to stop her muscles from aching. She still felt sore and groggy. Rainbow Dash had remembered that today was the day she was supposed to hang out again with her marefriend. She was all prepared for it. She had a picnic basket filled with sandwiches and snacks. She even had apple juice from Sweet Apple Acres packed. At this point, it seemed to be more like a date than just hanging out.

She felt like everything was in order. However, she couldn't help but get the feeling that something was missing or forgotten. She decided to leave her picnic basket and just get her weather duties over with. Maybe while she was clearing the clouds it would hit her what she had forgot. She flew around only to find no clouds in the sky.

Rainbow Dash looked around and saw her weather team sitting on a large cloud patch. They waved at her as if they had been waiting for her. She didn't like this at all. There were only a few reasons why her weather team would be all together, waiting for their leader.

"I can't believe this," she yelled out in anger. Some of her weather team frowned or cringed at this outburst. Out of all the things Rainbow Dash could have forgotten, this was the biggest deal. She had neglected to double check the weather schedule since she had sent Fluttershy the letter. She had gotten all prepared for a picnic on the day they planned for rain.

She kicked her hooves at the air in frustration. She wanted to cancel the rainy day they had planned and move it to some other day. She couldn't find herself willing to do that. She couldn't just let down her team or upset the mayor again for missing a rainy day. She sighed and joined her weather team. She still could spend the day with Fluttershy, but it would have to be inside her house.

After covering Ponyville with a blanket of dark clouds, Rainbow Dash hurried back to her cloud house. She couldn't let the food she prepared go to waste. It wouldn't hurt to bring it to Fluttershy's cottage. She definitely would be happy that her marefriend had brought lunch for both of them. She grabbed the basket handle with her mouth and sped off towards Fluttershy's cottage.

She arrived at her marefriend's house and started knocking anxiously. It was already raining and she didn't want to get soaked. Fluttershy opened the door and she hurried in without greeting her. She dropped the basket and turned to look at Fluttershy. She wrapped the timid pegasus with her hooves and hugged.

"Miss me?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes," Fluttershy answered.

They stood there for a while trying to make the hug last. Finally, they both reluctantly pulled back and smiled at each other. Fluttershy looked over at the basket Rainbow Dash had brought.

"Um.. Rainbow, what is in the basket?" she asked.

"Oh, I just thought I'd be an awesome marefriend and make us lunch," Rainbow Dash boldly said.

"That was very thoughtful of you, Rainbow Dash. You didn't have to do that," Fluttershy said.

"Of course I did, Flutters!

Fluttershy meekly smiled and sat on her couch. She motioned to Rainbow Dash to sit right next to her. Rainbow Dash grinned and sat next to her. She put a hoof around and rested it on her shoulder. They both briefly glanced out of the windows.

It was dark and gloomy outside. At this point the rain was pouring and making a loud tapping noise on the windows. This made Fluttershy feel pretty uncomfortable. She was always afraid of storms and disliked the noise the rain made. Rainbow Dash was very well aware of this.

"You ok, pal?" she asked.

Fluttershy nervously shifted. Rainbow Dash could feel her trembling. "I'm.. fine," Fluttershy said.

"You're sure?"

"Yes, Rainbow."

"Are you hungry? We could eat now if you want," Rainbow Dash suggested. She knew the real reason why Fluttershy was so nervous but maybe this would calm her down.

"Um... s-sure, Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy nervously stammered.

Fluttershy got up and sat at the table she had. She waited for Rainbow Dash to lay out all the food and their drinks. Rainbow Dash sat in her chair and grabbed her sandwich. She almost had forgotten how hungry she was since she missed breakfast like usual. She bit her way through her sandwich while Fluttershy took little nibbles.

They were just about finished with their meal when a loud thunder sounded. Fluttershy was so startled; she jumped out of her chair and knocked it over. Before Rainbow Dash could catch her in a bear hug, she had already bolted upstairs to her bedroom.

Rainbow quickly made her way up the stairs and into Fluttershy's bedroom. Fluttershy was cowering under the blankets, frightened and shaken. Rainbow Dash pushed the blanket over until Fluttershy's head stuck out. She saw her teal eyes look up at her.

Rainbow Dash climbed up on the bed and sat next to Fluttershy.

"I'm so.. scared," Fluttershy cried.

Rainbow Dash slipped under the blankets and rolled over so she was looking up at the ceiling. Fluttershy crawled over and hugged Rainbow Dash tightly for comfort. She needed her protection from this scary, dark, and gloomy storm.

Rainbow Dash normally was a very touchy pegasus. She had to make an exception in this case. She let her marefriend snuggle up closer. Fluttershy rested her head on her chest. Rainbow Dash blushed a little. She liked the warm feeling of snuggling with her marefriend. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

Fluttershy on the other hand, didn't fall asleep just yet. She had her head rested comfortably on Rainbow Dash's chest. She could feel Rainbow Dash's heart slowly beating. It had a strong, steady beat that she loved. All the noises from the storm were muffled under the blanket.

Her marefriend was peacefully snoring. It wasn't loud like it sometimes could be but was quiet and mellow. Fluttershy yawned and lessened the grip she had on Rainbow Dash. She finally was able to calm down. She fell asleep to the heartbeat of her protector.

The storm went on but didn't disturb the two pegasi who were sleeping peacefully. Neither did the rain tapping on the window or the loud thunder wake them up. A few hours passed by before it finally stopped.

Rainbow Dash woke up to see that it was even darker outside. She must have been sleeping for quite some time because the storm was already over. In fact, the time probably was late evening. She didn't feel hungry though.

Fluttershy was still asleep. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but notice how adorable her marefriend looked when she was sleeping. Fluttershy always had that natural beauty. Even as a filly she looked this adorable. Rainbow Dash smiled and closed her eyes again.

Rainbow Dash woke up again. This time it was extremely bright in the room. She had to look away from the window for a while for eyes to get adjusted. Fluttershy still had her head resting on her chest. Her hooves were wrapped around the cyan pegasus.

Rainbow Dash felt like she could stay there forever but a feeling in her stomach changed her mind. She felt so hungry she had to get up and find something to eat. She wanted to wake up Fluttershy so they both could get something to eat. She looked at the sweet pegasus who was sleeping. She couldn't get herself to wake her up.

She carefully moved Fluttershy's head off her chest and onto a soft pillow. Rainbow Dash then freed herself from the hooves that were wrapped around her. She quietly got off the bed and walked downstairs. She made sure to leave a note explaining that she became really hungry and didn't want to disturb her.

Rainbow Dash left the cottage and stood outside for a minute to reflect. She never had experienced something like that before. Snuggling up with Fluttershy had felt like the greatest moment in her life. She loved it. She flapped her wings and flew towards her cloud house wishing she could relive that special moment.

Short, but sweet chapter. There are also a few mistakes at the beginning. Second sentence of the second paragraph, and then when they get into bed together you say "Rainbow Dash was normally a very touchy pegasus" when I think you mean "wasn't".

I honestly don't see a mistake in that sentence.
I did mean to say that Rainbow Dash was touchy.

I really don't have someone to proof-read so I'm sure there's other mistakes

1825549 "A book fell over on the floor but she ignored to pick it up." That just... doesn't make sense. "decided not to pick it up" makes sense, or "chose to ignore it" could work.
