It's a rainy day and poor Spectra is stuck inside until her mom Rainbow Dash gets home.
It's a rainy day and poor Spectra is stuck inside until her mom Rainbow Dash gets home. The excitement begins for the little yellow filly once the rainbow arrives. This is just a simple one shot I came up with, involving Spectra Flutterdash's filly, Cheerilee/Big Mac's filly Acey Mac and TwiLuna's filly Moonlight Eve. Romance tag is because of the cuddly Flutterdash in chapter 3.
Spectra almost felt like screaming out loud. The sunny yellow filly gazed out the window of their cloud house with her deep pink eyes, into the wall of falling water that had killed her day. Her rainbow mane hangs limply down her shoulders giving a visual representation of how dull she feels inside. Rainbow Dash was out keeping the storm clouds in line while her other Mommy, Fluttershy was in the kitchen preparing a big meal for the mighty weather pony's triumphant return and had instructed her filly to stay inside out of the bad weather.
'I wish mom would get back already. I know she'd want to have fun in the rain with me.' She did her best to scan the sky for the tell tale rainbow trail but after staring into the void for several long minutes, she sighed and gave up. Feeling disheartened she wanders back over to her bed and pulls a few toys out.
After doing her best to play with them she abandons them all in favor of checking on Fluttershy.
She passes several animals who are sheltering inside the cloud home, Angel and Tank appear to be still engaged in their little competition so the filly leaves them to it.
A spiky rainbow mane appears around the corner, poking into the kitchen. Spectra peeks in and can see Fluttershy hovering above the cloud floor, lost in her own world, singing softly while carefully cooking a meal The aroma reaches the sunny fillies nose and her tummy realises that it is hungry. She bites her lip, nervously debating with herself. She takes a deep breath then walks on into the kitchen, doing her best to appear happy.
Fluttershy turns and spots her daughter. A warm smile lights up the eyes of the happy mother. She can tell her filly is in the kitchen for one reason, the same reason Rainbow Dash always likes her kitchen too.
She flies down, grabbing a few filly sized hay bites on her way and deposits them carefully in front of Spectra. The youngsters eyes light up and she devours the food before her mother could react further.
"Thank you mommy."
"That's okay dear." Fluttershy ruffles her fillies rainbow mane affectionately. "I'm sure Dashie will be home soon. Then you can have fun with her outside."
Suddenly the front door to their home is flung open and in strides a proud cyan pegasus. Her rainbow mane flaps in the rough gale as she takes stock of the quiet family house she has just barged into. Dash shakes herself dry, powerful muscles driving the offending droplets off her. Several animals hide from the onslaught, they came inside to shelter from the rain and now the crazy rainbow had drenched them anyway.
Fluttershy zipped to her wife's side, nuzzling her, oblivious to the dampness being passed to previously dry yellow coat.
Spectra bounds up and joins in, turning the brief hug between lovers into one big family hug.
"Its so good to see your safe Rainbow," Fluttershy softly cooed.
"Who me? Of course I'm safe Fluttershy. No rain cloud can stand in my way." She boldly demonstrates her point with a cyan hoof, obliterating an imaginary cloud.
"Hey mom! Can you take me outside? I wanna go play in the rain."
"Spectra I've just dried myself off." Dash stops herself from continuing the pleading face of her filly could met any frosty heart. "Lets go. Bye 'Shy."
Rainbow Dash gives Fluttershy a speedy kiss then grabs Spectra and speeds outside into the storm.
Fluttershy smiles to herself, the two rogues would be certain to have a real ball of fun and return ready to demolish the meal she is preparing. She checks her animals are alright after their drenching then wanders back to her task singing softly.
An elated Spectra rides on her mothers back. She tosses her head back letting the wind rush through her rainbow mane. The magic moment is killed as she is unceremoniously dumped on the ground. She gazes up at the mighty form shielding her from the elements. Rosy pink eyes hang in front of her for a few seconds. A mischievous look crosses Rainbow Dash's face. Everypony knows the look means trouble for somepony else.
"Any minute now..."
Spectra glanced around, wearing a confused look on her little face, wondering what is going on. The daredevil mare shifts her position to better cover her filly, sliding a wing over her, mentally counting down to herself.
Suddenly a gentle hoof taps Spectra on the shoulder and in a streak of rainbow, her mom took off, galloping along the field toward the location of the CMC's old club house. Spectra races after her, doing her best to catch up. She puts on a determined face and sprints, hooves drumming the soft ground like a runner in a race. Rainbow Dash spins around and stops.
"Wait right here. I have a little something to show you squirt."
Little yellow hooves skid in the mud as their owner does her best to come to a stop before slamming into anything.
"What is it mom?"
Dash points toward the tree house. The door creaks open to reveal two other fillies wearing grins on their small faces. Big Mac follows the small group out. Acey Mac has a lighter red toned coat than her father and green eyes that shine despite the ugly weather. A strawberry pink mane similar to her mom, Cheerilee adorns her shoulders. Moonlight Eve looks less willing to enter into the wild elements, her deep violet coat well groomed. Her horn glows levitating a pair of glasses off her soft lavender coat with the same precision her mother Twilight always used. Her purple and blue mane sparkle, even in the rain just like her mom, Luna's does. All in all, she looks like a little darling of a tiny alicorn.
"Come on out, this rain’s awesome!" Called Spectra.
Acey Mac and Moonlight Eve bound up to greet the rainbow filly and her mom. Dash nudges her filly forward then flies up to the shelter of the club house.
The two adult ponies watch on with kind smiles as the small group of files take off, little hooves kicking up dirt as they bound around playing tag and enjoying the rain. Spectra LOVED it. The feeling of the rain caressing her soft coat, the way her mane whips about as she dodges her friends attempts at catching her. She looks back and can tell that Acey was having the time of her life too. Eve is clearly less sure hooved, continually pausing to calculate the most efficient way to navigate the soft ground around the roots of the trees they are playing near. Not wanting the violet filly to be left out, little yellow wings extend, a grin forms and Spectra powers into the reserved filly, tackling her to the ground.
They roll round and round on the grass, their hooves quickly churning the green pasture into mush. Acey can't stand being left out of the action and piles on in. Laughter and sloshing of fillies in the mud carry strongly in the breeze. Several times Eve attempts to pull out and regain her composure only to have Acey put on a burst of speed and pull her back into their mud ring. Spectra rams Acey out to enable herself to have a go at catching the elusive evening filly. The pair slide round and round, giggling and squealing. Spectra lunges for Eve’s tail, misses and slides into Acey instead. They both spring back up and Spectra takes off laughing, galloping full tilt at Eve. The two collide and flip through the air landing with Spectra on top.
The lunar filly powers up her horn and pushes her energetic friend off. The alicorn dashes off before any response can be given, a giggling red filly in tow. A moment passes as Spectra straightens herself out.
"Hey. No magic! That's cheating!" Utilizing her wings for an added boost, she gallops off after the pair.
She reaches the woods, trailing them round and round. The group zigzag between trees then encounter massive specimen. Acey and Eve begin to orbit it, shouting wild calls joyfully into the elements. Acey suddenly skids to a halt and deploying her hind hoof and tripping the charging yellow filly. Spectra is sent flying through the air and roughly slams into the mud.
Spectra tears her face from the ground, shaking her head sending mud flying into her laughing friends. She then attempts to tackle Acey to the ground but gets bucked off by the stronger filly. "Ah ain't letting you get me that easy." The green eyed filly turns, grinning to her downed friend.
Spectra rises from the earth grinning like a mad filly "wow. You are strong!"
"Eeyup!" Agrees the bouncy farm pony, instantly regaining the spring in her step.
Eve cuts into the moment, "I'm heading into the clubhouse now. This rain is getting too cold."
"Right behind you." Acey falls in beside her friend while Spectra wanders along behind them enjoying her last moments in the open elements.
A peaceful misty rain coats the area around the old tree house, wrapping it in its wet embrace. Rainbow Dash and Big Mac stare out at the trio of trouble as they play, allowing a brief wash of nostalgia to embrace them. As neither pony has much to say to the other, a peaceful silence reigns upon their domain.
The rainbow daredevil grins down at her filly as she races along, the youngster unknowingly helping her mother a great deal toward reviving her own fillyhood memories. Her thoughts drift to her Flutters, and the wonderful food that will be waiting at home.
Rumble, rumble.
Big Macintosh chuckles at the pleading sounds of the athletes stomach.
"Sorry about that. Guess I'm getting a little hungry." A light blue hoof caresses the offending tummy, doing her best to placate it.
"Eeyup."
"Didn't Twilight say she would be around too?"
"Eeyup."
"Right. I guess eggheads glued to another book then."
“Eeyup”
Bam!
The close proximity teleport causes both ponies to jump in surprise. In the middle of the room stands Twilight, wings half mast, clutching a book protectively in her forehooves.
"Sorry. Luna was… holding me up." The lavender mare bears a slight darkening around her cheeks.
"It's okay Twilight. We were just wondering when you would decide to show up.” Dash grins at the new arrival, happy to have more than the silent tank of a stallion to talk to.
"Yea sorry about that.” The still blushing new arrival turns to the earth pony, “I hope Eve wasn't too much of a problem, Mac?"
"Nope," his reassuring tone tells her more than his otherwise brief reply.
"Oh good, thank you. She was getting to be a real handful at the library when I was trying to study."
"Sounds like your marefriend filled that role in her absence nicely." Smirks the cocky cyan mare, unable to help herself.
"It's not like that Dash. She just had… other ideas on the best way I could be researching."
Bout of immature giggles fills the room in the temporary absence of talk.
"Rainbow Dash!" The scholar now wishes she could have picked a better choice of words in light of her friend’s rudeness.
"It's okay. I'm just messing with you.” The trickster continues to giggle to herself.
The mood is totally annihilated by the arrival of three wet bundles of energy bursting in the door. Spectra gives a quick flick of her mane, donating water to her fellow ponies.
"You lot are back early," Dash comments, uncaring of the wet introduction they are blessed with.
"Too wet for me out there," Moonlight Eve replies, answering for her peers.
A tiny yellow and rainbow pegasus approaches the adults, looking like the face of trouble. Spectra gives another flick of her suprisingly long spiky mane, earning an annoyed look from her mother. It does little to deter her mischievous actions as she offers a cheeky nuzzle, gifting further water to her mother. Spectra grins innocently up at Rainbow Dash, who breaks out in a cheeky smile in reply.
"Here." The red muscle bound stallion passes out towels to the troublesome trio.
"So, dad… What are we going to do now?" Acey Mac pipes up, full of boundless energy, receiving her towel with a large grin upon her face.
The stallion glances at the other adults in the room.
Spectra beats her friend to it. “We’ll play a game!” She cries out, taking her towel and rapidly to drying herself off.
“Okay. How about a board game?” The farm filly offers her suggestion as she forages for her chosen game of choice.
“Awww... Come on! That’s lame! How about...” The tiny rainbow ball of fluff disappears, returning moments later with a box she pushes with her head, along with a bag in her mouth.
“Hey! Those are my blocks!” Acey Mac points out, observing the pegasus filly as she brings them out onto the floor. “What’ll we do with those?”
Grinning widely, Spectra opens the box with her hoof to reveal a menagerie of building blocks in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colours. Eager, the sunny yellow filly practically dives into the box to get the blocks out in a vigorous manner. Moonlight Eve and Acey Mac catch on, somewhat, then go over to help take the blocks out of the box.
The energetic rainbow filly eagerly begins construction as her two friends continue to empty the box. The floor rapidly fills with all kinds of building blocks and other stackable toys, some of which are already piled up from having been shoved into the box haphazardly.
“So, we’re going to build a house or something?” Moonlight Eve queries, cocking her head, already making plans in her mind.
“Just build whatever! We need them to be big and tall! Like your daddy!” Spectra informs them, targeting Acey Mac in particular with the tail end of her instructions.
Acey Mac scratches her chin in thought before grinning, “Done!”
With their goal in mind, the three fillies go to work at stacking the blocks, each of them doing a few building shapes each. It’s tedious, taking quite some time to do, but it isn’t long before a good portion of the living room floor has a bunch of block or stackable toy buildings scattered around. Some tall, some smaller, but overall, enough to make something of a small scale model of an average town. Somewhat.
“Okay, now what?” asks Acey Mac.
With a wide smirk, Spectra flaps her wings menacingly and then strikes one of the block buildings with her hoof. “Raaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!! I’m a giant monster and I’m destroying the city! Raaaaaarrr!!”
The other two fillies stare dumbfounded for a moment, but they eagerly decide to join in! Acey Mac dons a plastic sword, while Moonlight Eve grabs a plastic magic wand with her magic.
“Yer a big monster an’ we’re gonna stop ya!” Acey Mac declares.
“You can never stop me! I’m far too evil and dangerous!” Spectra playfully roars, waving her hooves menacingly. “Raaaaarrr!”
Moonlight Eve giggles as she waves her plastic wand, “We’ll just see about that! I am Princess Moonlight Eve, daughter of Princess Luna, and I shall defeat you valiantly!”
“An’ Ah’m the Faithful an’ Strong Acey Mac! Here ta help save tha day!” Acey Mac laughed.
Laughing, the two fillies chase after the rainbow-maned ball of mischief, all three giggling as they race around enjoying themselves. The tables turn as Spectra races into her mum, leaping up as quick as possible to a vantage point on her shoulders.
"Get them!" Cries the adrenaline fueled filly, waving a hoof down at her friends below.
Rainbow Dash's tummy rumbles extra loud in response. The two ground bound fillies fall on the floor laughing.
"Tummy of doom!" Cheers Spectra, almost loosing her footing as she leaps for joy.
"Run, or the rainbow of awesomeness will eat you!" Grins the egotistical mother, leaping forward.
The sudden movement causes the Acey and Moonlight to scram. A light pinkish red and dark blue streak follows the pair as they race away laughing.
"Gotcha!" With two beats of her mighty wings, Rainbow Dash plows into the pair. A four pony ball forms quickly as Rainbow Dash collides with the wall.
Big Macintosh and Twilight exchange a glance before breaking down into giggles at the free show before them.
"Now we got you!" Exclaims Acey, leaping on top of Rainbow Dash before she can respond.
All three fillies pile into the powerful speedster's sides, tickling her mercilessly.
Laughter rents the air as Rainbow Dash cracks up laughing.
She laughs and laughs, her sides feeling like they are about to break apart at any moment.
As the fillies gleefully continue to tickle her sides, she feels fit to burst, rolling round and round to try avoid the tiny merciless miscreants.
Just as she feels like she will explode, the tiny terrors are lifted off, encased in a light purple aura.
"There now… I think Rainbow Dash has had enough." Twilight's voice is the first thing to attempt to talk over the loud cries of Rainbow Dash.
"T-thanks Twi…." Pants Dash as she lies there wasted on the floor.
“You know, I’m sure Big Mac and I will be enough to look after these rogues. You look like you could do with a break.”
“What?” The champion speedster slowly stands, gazing at her longtime friend.
"We defeated Rainbow Dash, We defeated Rainbow Dash!" Cry three triumphant fillies as continue to float in the air, suspended by the princess's power.
"Yep, you got me. But my friend Twilight had my back. Now I can do this…" With a cheek grin, the cyan mare advances.
She brushes past the troublesome trio, tickling them as she passes through with her wingtips.
Small fitful giggles escape and Rainbow Dash breaks out into a grin. "I was just playing nice. Since they are fillies and all."
With a knowing grin, Twilight nods, placing the trio down upon the floor of the clubhouse.
Rainbow Dash strikes a cool pose, not realizing her daughter is already on the move.
"Could you two stop with the silly smiles okay?"
"Eeyup." Confirms Big Mac as he continues to grin. He can see trouble coming for the egotistical pegasus.
"Dash…" Twilight motions behind her friend as if to warn her.
"What?" The cyan pegasus slowly turns, greeted by her airborne daughter who lands on her, yelling triumphantly.
Chaos erupts as Rainbow Dash's daughter uses her as a springboard, leaping away from the other incoming fillies who smack playfully into the side of the cyan mare.
As an addition, building blocks explode in all directions as Spectra impacts with the busted block building. "Weeeee!" Her tiny wings help propel her through the rubble. She stumbles to the top where she stands, like a boss.
"Get her!" Cries Acey as she charges toward the wrecker filly.
"Yea!" Adds Moonlight Eve. "Come here!" Her horn lights up, throwing a solo block at the one who had ruined their work.
Spectra pokes out her tongue at the two incoming youngsters before taking off on the run again. The trio of trouble race through the legs of their parents, nimbly darting about. Spectra heads toward her mother, side stepping past one set of hooves only to slam into the other set.
The ball of rainbow plush tumbles out to land at her mother's forehooves. The filly wears a near tearful expression as she gazes up into the strong pink eyes of her mother. Dash promptly nuzzles her daughter, giving the sore muzzle a loving lick. The unstoppable youngster lights up under the affection of her parent, forgetting the ouch and the other filly eyes that are watching her. Still in a ball at Dash’s forehooves the tiny pegasus returns the nuzzle with gusto, giggling happily.
“There. All better. Now run along. Mum’s going to go home to mummy now.” Grins the proud speedster, gently rolling her daughter over, onto her tiny hooves. "I'll pick you up later."
“Yay. More playtime!” The sunny yellow filly charges off after her friends.”Bye mum!"
“So you are going home to cuddle her?” Twilight grins.
Dash snorts then shoots off out the window. "Now why would I, the cool and mighty Rainbow Dash want to go home for cuddles…?" She sakes as if she is above such things.
"I can think of a few reasons. Now go.. before your daughter crashes into you again." The scholar shakes her head, typical Rainbow Dash, never one for wanting to appear sentimental around other ponies.
“Eeyup.” Big Macintosh replies in his trademark fashion.
“Daddy, daddy! Come join in!” The summons from the big red giant’s daughter are enough to gather his attention and he turns to see the playful fillies, each and every one grinning up at him with hopeful looks on their faces.
“Uh... okay girls.” He allows himself to be dragged along by his energetic daughter who bounds over to her friends, leading her father who wears a look of minor confusion upon his muscular face.
"Yay!” The three fillies cry out, rushing around their latest addition to playtime as if on a sugar high.
Twilight smiles happily at the display. "I guess it's Big Mac's turn…" She watches as Acey leaps on top of the stallion with aid from Eve. ‘At her age...? Performing levitation spells with ease?’ The young princess turns her attention to her alicorn daughter who with a bust of magic, flies up to sit astride Big Mac with the farmer filly.
“What about me?” Spectra calls out, waiting for a bust of magic to carry her up as well.
“Can’t you fly? Silly!” Acey Mac breaks out into laughter, nearly rolling off her dad’s back as she points at the little sunny yellow wings that adorn her fellow filly’s back.
“I know I can fly.” Huffs the multi-coloured ball of plush. “I wanna see what it’s like being magicked up!”
Twilight was about to step in for her daughter when the young spellcaster surprises her mum, horn lighting up with a night blue glow and quickly transporting the delighted pegasus up and onto Big Macintosh’s back.
“You’ll be okay with them all up there Big Mac?” The concerned mother asks.
“Eeyup! Ah’m goina take you galls for a ride.” The strong stallion grins up at his riders.
“Yay!” The three cheer.
“Go dad!” Acey can’t help but add an extra vote of support for her hardworking father.
With a happy smile, the big red pony trotts around the room, spurred on by the trio on his back. “Faster Dad! Faster!” The light red filly cries out.
“Yea, my mum walks faster than this!” Spectra shouted eagerly stomping on the muscular back she is sitting on.
“Ya’ll sure ‘bout it?” He turned to face the trio of trouble.
Two nodded eagerly, Moonlight Eve joining in slowly as she realises she is outnumbered.
“Okay... Hold onta ya hats!” With that, Big Macintosh powers out the door into the storm, laughing softly as three excitable balls of filly cry out in excitement.
Twilight watches the spectacle as it unfolds. She feels a sense of pride, watching her daughter quickly proving her skills as a young mage, horn alight as she keeps her friends from falling off the powerful ride they share. Big Macintosh rapidly becomes covered in mud as he happily gallops through the mud, weaving between obstacles, doing his best to entertain the eager youngsters.
“If only you could see this Luna...” Twilight Sparkle smiles as the trio continue to push the boundaries on board their ride, aided by the young unicorn’s magic.
As the cries of fun ring out near the CMC clubhouse, Twilight watches on with a happy smile. Elsewhere, a quiet home awaits the return of a certain rainbow mare.
“Honey I’m home!” The loud call of the cocky mare rings out in the quiet of her home.
The smiling face of Fluttershy peeks out from around the corner of the kitchen. Her pretty yellow face illuminates Dash's world. Despite her damp coat and sodden feathers, the athletic mare can feel the sunny warmth radiating from her wife, it’s like a good fire on cold winters day. Lovestruck, Dash grins back.
With a look of delight upon her face, Fluttershy trots across to her multicoloured wife and gives the wind washed mare a hug. Toasty warm fuzzes erupt as the two share a nuzzle, transferring the dampness between the two ponies, sharing the love. Mid-snuggle Fluttershy tilts her head and nibbles a sodden blue ear. Ripples of satisfaction radiate from the athletic pegasus and she hums contentedly, enjoying the odd act of affection.
"I think somepony needs a bath." With a knowing grin escaping across her features, Fluttershy turns and leads the way toward the bathroom.
"I think my pretty pony needs her bath time too. You’re all wet now." Accentuating her point, the bold pegasus leaps towards her mare and flicks her mane about, donating further moisture to her wife.
Butterflies meet the thunderbolt cloud as Fluttershy bumps her flank against Rainbow Dash's. Grinning, the cyan pegasus envelops her wife in a drenching winged embrace. In reply, the yellow pony snuggles into her partners mane, the no-so-dry coat becoming as wet as the rainbow she is absorbed in.
"Three, two, one. Bye!" Dash bolts off, her rainbow tail clipping the pink maned pony's nose as she rushes past to the bath tub.
The yellow mare left behind grins, buzzing with joy. Antics are to be expected as is some kind of follow up when they both arrive.
The daredevil pony stands solo in the bathtub. She looks over at her brightly smiling wife with a commanding look upon her face.
"Right Flutters. What’s the password?"
The pony in question comes to a halt a wing length away from her cyrese eyed mare. Oh how those eyes shine with unbridled mischievous joy, making the timid mare's wings stir, tummy tingle, matching the excited mare before her. Fluttershy's heart melts at the sight as her spouse gazes at her with an adorable questioning look, begging for an answer. After staring into the depths of those big rosy orbs for an unknown length of time, the yellow pegasus manages to shake herself out of her stunned dreamy state.
"Um… how about... Pretty please my big strong Wonderbolt?"
The blue cheeks darken as a grin spreads across Dash's face. "Nope, sorry." The look of mischief strengthens on the pranksters muzzle.
Strutting slyly up to the mare in front of her, Fluttershy nervously manoeuvres her nose along the side of her wife's face. The tickle of nose against fur forces the rainbow warrior to suppress giggles as her mare continues to delicately caress her with the tip of her nose.
With barely a whisper, the soft pegasus tries once more, "how about pretty please, my mighty, pretty Wonderbolt." She accentuates her plea with a soft lick.
Both ponies withdraw wearing luminous matching grins upon their faces.
“My feathery angel...” Fluttershy cooes as she steps in, joining her protector who suddenly finds herself unable to block the timid mares path.
Fluttershy slowly turns the taps on, the rapidly warming water quickly washing over their hooves, inching upwards toward their bellies. Bright yellow wings flutter as their owner lifts her forehooves over her champion, gently pressing downwards on the stronger pegasus. With a smirk, Dash replies by collapsing into the bath sending waves leaping up at the sudden disturbance. Fluttershy collapses on top of her lover, a look of surprise written across her gorgeous face.
Dash rolls over in the water, gazing up into the aquamarine eyes of her wife, admiring how they ripple, mirroring the water below.
“You know, I love it how when you’re surprised! It’s adorable and cool and cute...all at the same time! That’s why I pranked you when we were fillies if I remember...” She trailes off as the memory washes over, a reminder of their sometimes wild past together. “You were such an adorable big filly, the look on your cute little face... It was soo adorable.” Dash almost squees with joy, beaming widely as she ruffles the pink mane.
Fluttershy donates the cyan pegasus beneath her a loving lick to the muzzle.
“Prankster. It’s not nice to be a meanie. Especaily to your future wife.” This was added to by a boop to the cyan offender’s nose.
“How was I supposed to know we would end up married...” Giggles Rainbow Dash, stretching out in the soothing water.
“Too busy being cool...” Cooes the shy pegasus as she plays with the submerged multicoloured mane, retaining her dominant place on top.
Checky giggles escape from the mostly submerged pegasus. “Yea... at least we’re here now...” A satisfied sigh escapes and Rainbow Dash stretches out further, wrapping her forelegs around the pegasus on top, bringing her into a close cuddle. The weight of the pony on top submerges the cyan mare, causing a burst of bubbles then an explosion of water as the part time Wonderbolt breaks the surface. Rainbow Dash reaches over and switches off the taps.
“Right... that’s enough water for me.” She returns her gaze to the luminous eyes of the pony in her embrace. “Who’s first?”
“You, my love.” Fluttershy coos sweetly, following her soft calls with a giggle. She reluctantly lifts herself up. She reaches for a washcloth and some soap, lathering it up onto the cloth.
Chuckling, Rainbow sits up as well, holding a hoof out to her wife as she awaits the washing treatment. The creamy yellow pegasus nods then takes the offering, scrubbing the cloth along it with much tender care.
Clearly enjoying it, the cyan pegasus sits back and allows her beloved to wash her. It was nothing new, they've been doing so for many years, even when they were fillies. Fluttershy is always up to the task of washing her, it also brings back the sweet memory of the very first time she had done so. Back in Cloudsdale, in Flight School, together...
“Let me guess,” Dash speaks up upon seeing the dreamy look on Fluttershy’s face accompanied with a slight blush, “you’re thinking about the first time you washed me up, aren’t you?”
Giggling, Fluttershy nods and scrubs down Dash’s other foreleg, “Perhaps...”
“Well...” Dash leans over, closing in on her mare as if she is about to kiss her.
“As I remember, you had to give me a kiss first...” With a grin upon her face the grinning cyan mare withdraws her hooves from her partners reach.
Fluttershy smiled warmly, inching forwards. Noses brush, sending tingles down each ponies spines. Lips meet and the rapidly world disappears, replaced by the paradise of true love. Dash melts, feeling as if she’s a filly all over again, and pulls Fluttershy into a warm embrace as she returns the kiss in kind. They lose themselves in the sweetness of their kiss, both in reliving the old days, the sweet memories, and of what they have right now, together.
Caught up in the moment, Rainbow Dash slips and slides into the water, leaving her lover hanging.
Laughter erupts as the cyan pegasus spots the kissy face her cute mare is left making and receives a small wave of water up the snout for her efforts.
Hind hooves wrap around the sweet pegasus, dragging her into the soothing water too and the pair lie there laughing at themselves.
After a few moments mirth, Dash cools down enough to speak again. “I love how we laugh like that...”
“Mmmm...me too...” Softly agrees the snuggling pegasus on top.
Moments of content silence pass as neither pegasus wishes to get up quite yet. Pink mingles with all the colours of the rainbow as manes and tails intermingle in the warm water.
“Right. Now you can wash me.” A cheeky grin covers the speakers muzzle. Dash knows her wife would prefer to snuggle for a little more.
But a wash would feel great and she can feel that her tummy will rumble again if something isn’t done soon.
“Okay... But you are not to go out again today till its stopped raining. Okay?” Fluttershy fixes her lover with a warning stare.
“Sure... I’ll just ‘annoy’ you for a few hours.” Grins the cheery pegasus on the bottom. After all, Dash knows that it’s always easy to somehow have fun with her special somepony... even doing menial things that she usually considers to be boring.
Her reply is a lick to the muzzle. Fluttershy removes herself from the warm embrace and offers a hoof to the cyan pegasus.
With a grin, Dash accepts.
Back at the playhouse, the rains are beginning to cease in the late day sun. More towles lie in a heap, guarded by smiling red stallion who remains slightly caked in mud from his game with the youngsters.
“Hey! No fair!” Spectra calls out.
“Yea. Ah’ was winnin’” adds Acey.
“It is so fair.” Counters Eve.
“Is not!”
“Is to!” retorts the young scholar.
“Is not!”
“Is too!” The overexcited pegasus filly smashes the game board with a hoof, sending everything flying.
“Awww... Spectra! I was winning!” Complains the dark alicorn filly.
“Allright you lot. Break it up.” Twilight steps in and removes the board game from the fillies hoof reach. “It’s sounding like you all need a break or... home time.”
“Awww... mum!” Cries Eve, trying to counter her mother’s magic with her own.
BANG!
“Sorry...” Mumbles Luna as she stands slowly, recovering from the aftereffects of a teleport gone not entirely right.
“Mummy!” Cries the little alicorn as she rushes to her still stunned parent and snuggles right up, instantly content under her midnight blue flowing mane.
“Yes...”
“That... is an...amusing misfire there my love.” Comments Twilight with a slight smile. “Did you have something on your mind?”
“Y-yes.” Admits Luna, “she’s purple...”
A suppressed laugh escapes Big Mac as Luna sheepishly diverts her gaze from her lover.
“Yay! Big pony!” Cries spectra leaping on Luna’s back. “I win!” She chortles, rocking backwards and forth in her mirth.
Twilight breaks out into smiles at the yellow filly’s actions. “Just like her mum...”
“Daddy... does this mean playtime is over for today?” Acey Mac sits down, ignoring her energetic friend as she gazes up at her father, questionly.
“Eeyup.” Confirms Big Macintosh, glancing between the two mares. “Ah hope ya’ll had fun today.”
“We sure did!” Replies Spectra with all the vigour she can muster.
“Eeyup!” Grins Acey Mac, happy to further the positives with her father’s signature word.
“I did too.” Adds Moonlight Eve, happy enough to be the quietest filly there.
“Right. Well... I take it you are happy to take your daughter home...” Ever the organizer, Twilight already has a plan. “I’ll take Eve... Luna... can you take Spectra?”
“It certainly appears that she shal it.” Luna smiles back.
“Bye you two! I’ll see you another day for more fun!” Spectra bounces around in place on the princess’s back, eager to pursue the next fun part of her day.
“Eeyup.” The little farmer filly replies. She turns to her friends, a hopeful grin upon her muzzle. “School on monday?”
“Can I go to school with them tomorrow mum?” Eve turns toward her mothers, a questioning look upon her face.
“Well... I think the school in Canterlot can wait one day for its star pupil.” Twilight smiles as brings her daughter in for a hug. “It’s good to see you are learning the magic of friendship. Just... don’t forget your studies.”
“Yes mum...” Flatly replied the young alicorn.
“Yay! I get to see everypony on monday!” Spectra jumped off Luna’s back and gave her dark purple friend a flying hug, sending the pair smashing into Twilight. Acey joined the filly pile with a massive grin of her own.
“Looks like Ponyville is going to gets its next generation of cutie mark crusaders after all.” Noted Twilight, avoiding the pile of seemingly sugar fueled fillies as they rolled around one last time.
