The Struggles of a Bent Relationship

Chapter 1:  A Day with the one you Love

The light summer breeze swept across a lone and still lake somewhere in Equestria. It was part of a secluded forest with tall trees which surrounded the large pond, towering over the small opening like walls in a prison.

The silence of the summer day though was interrupted by the sound of giggles and splashes of water which washes their way through the tree’s.

On the sandy shores surrounding the lake two pegasi played with one another in the midst of the watery world. One with a pale yellow coat and a pink flowing mane which covered most area’s of her frame. Next to her was a cyan coated mare with an electric main proudly showing all colors of the rainbow.

The cyan mare held the other mare tight as they played in the vast lake, she gently leaned down and kissed the mare's neck lightly. The pale yellow mare giggled from the ticklish feeling it brought and turned round to face her.

The yellow mare smiled. “Today’s been great Dashie,” she said in a soft tone but with a clear hint of happiness.

The cyan mare smirked and grabbed the yellow mare forward into a long and deep kiss before saying, “Anything for my marefriend.”

The two continued to laugh and play some more, after a few more moments of fun the pair found themselves lying on the edge of the lake, their arms and wings wrapped around each other as they looked longingly into each others eyes.

Dash spoke up. “You know Fluttershy, I like the time we hang out but… when are we going to tell the others?” she asked curiously looking at the mare she loved. It had been months since Dash had confessed her feelings to her old friend and to her utter joy Fluttershy accepted. The two were perfect for each other in many ways, but in some they did struggle and since the four months that the pair had been together the shy mare had refused to tell anypony about their relationship together.

Fluttershy backed away slightly as she spoke. “I-I don’t know Dashie, just not yet,” she said quietly with a hint of fear in her voice.

Dash gave a slightly annoyed look. “But we’ve been going out for months Flutters, what's wrong?” she asked in a soft and concerned voice as she pushed her marefriend’s mane away from her face making her smile.

After a few tense moments the shy pegasus spoke up again. “W-well I’m just a bit scared,” she said whispering the last part as she lowered her head.

Rainbow Dash sighed and lifted the yellow Pegasus's chin and gave her a soft kiss on her lips as she spoke. “You don’t have to be scared Flutters, you got me and you know our friends wouldn’t mind us being, you know together,” she said calmly.

Fluttershy stopped cowering but was still persistent. “I’m just not sure I mean it’ll take some time, you can wait, right?” she asked in a hopeful tone.

Dash sighed. “No Flutters, I’m sick of having to keep this to ourselves. I’m sick of just giving you half smiles when we go out with our friends. I hate having to kiss you behind everyone's back and I’m not ashamed Fluttershy… I love you and I want everypony else to know it too,” she said poking the light yellow Pegasus in the chest expressing her point.

Fluttershy smiled at her marefriend’s words and leaned down to lock lips with the mare below her. Dash leaned into the kiss as their tongues danced between one another in a wave of ecstasy. Rainbow smiled when the kiss finally ended and looked up to her marefriend who was now lying on her chest content. The cyan mare leaned in and nuzzled her lover's cheek affectionately.

The pair laid in silence for a few more moments before Rainbow spoke up again. “So can we tell our friends?” she asked hesitantly as she caressed her marefriend’s mane with a hoof whilst the other kept a tight hold around her neck.

Fluttershy nodded her head uncomfortably, Dash felt she needed a bit more reassurance and used her athletic strength to switch places with the mare so she was lying on top of the yellow Pegasus. Dash smirked. “You know I’ll always be there for you Flutters, I’m the element of loyalty for Celestia’s sake,” she said nuzzling the mare’s forehead as she let out a soft giggle.

Fluttershy smiled a bit more confidently. “You know what Dashie...I’ll do it,” she said happily. Dash smiled back and the pair shared another kiss before getting up from the ground and getting ready for the flight back to the small earth pony town where they resided.

Dash looked back at the shy Pegasus and gave her an affectionate wink before soaring into the sky. Fluttershy smiled happily before chasing after her marefriend.

The two Pegasi soared through the evening sky as Celestia’s sun started to dip below the horizon bringing an orange glow to the world above Equestria, Dash flew close to the yellow mare as they flew back towards the town where they lived.

Dash leaned over slightly and gave her lover a soft nuzzled as she flew along. Fluttershy smiled at the affection of the cyan mare. From the moment Dash had told her about her feelings the shy Pegasus couldn’t have been happier, but she still feared about what her friends or even the town would think about her relationship with Equestria’s next up and coming flyer. She just hoped it could all be over soon and she could spend time with the mare she loved without going out-of-town to be with her.

As the pair flew through the brisk summer air they finally spotted a familiar town nestled in between a row of hills and mountains, the village was relatively small and wasn’t even built for their kind, however in the years that the they had lived there they had become friends with the whole town and found the place to be relatively humble and nice to live in.

Dash saw her marefriend’s small cottage on the outskirts of the town close to the everfree forest which was to the east of the town. She soared down and landed at the front doorstep of the building as her marefriend landed behind her.

The cottage was old and slightly worn with its thatched roof, but it was very homely and had a luscious garden which surrounded the home with many creatures of all kinds which inhabited it. There was a small river that ran past the house with a colorful bridge and it was a home which was widely regarded by the towns ponies.

Fluttershy walked in front of the cyan mare and opened the door to the home, she turned around and smiled. “Today was great Dashie, I loved it,” she said happily.

Dash smiled in return. “That’s great to hear Flutters, so tomorrow we tell everyone, right?” she asked with a hopeful tone.

Fluttershy smiled nodded happily. “Of course Dashie!”

Dash grinned. “Great, then maybe after tomorrow I can finally spend a night with you,” she said giving the Pegasus a soft kiss on the cheek.

Fluttershy blushed and nodded before the pair leaned in for one final kiss, it felt like forever for the two mares and Dash especially didn’t want it to end but like all great wonders they soon did and Dash turned around to leave. “See you tomorrow Fluttershy, I love you,” she said giving a wink before taking off.

Fluttershy smiled as she watched the mare of her dreams soar into the sky. “I love you too Dash,” she said quietly to herself before trotting into the cottage and closing the door behind her.

Dash sighed as she watched the mare disappear into the home before dashing off towards her floating house in the sky over the small town.

Rainbow's home was the only cloud made home in the small village and gently floated above the town towards the outskirts of the village. Dash was hoping to leave the home soon so she could spend more time with her marefriend, but other complications would have to be met before that could happen.

Rainbow Dash landed on the front porch of the home and pushed her hoof on the cloud door pushing it open. She wandered into the building only to realize a golden letter on the ground. She leaned down and picked up the letter, she turned it around and saw it was addressed to her.

Dash raised an eyebrow at this and tore the top part of the letter revealing its contents, she pulled out the letter and read the words.

Congratulations Mrs. Rainbow Dash, you have passed your training and are now a fully fledged Wonderbolt personnel. welcome to the team.

signed: captain Spitfire

Dash’s eyes widened in shock before she screamed, pumping her hoof in the air. Dash’s pet Tank looked up to see the cyan mare. Dash smiled and picked the tortoise up. “You hear that Tank, I’m gonna be a Wonderbolt!” she said excitedly as she bounced around.

Dash laid on the couch and sighed happily. “Five years I’ve been training and I’ve finally did it!” she said to herself happily. Dash leaned over again and grabbed the note as she read over the letter once more, but then she discovered some writing on the back of the note.

Dash flipped the letter around a read. “All new Wonderbolts will have to meet at the cloudsdale colosseum in four months time, you will then be on tour for the next six months, spend the time with your loved ones well before you leave."

Dash’s smile slowly fell as she thought about what would happen when she told Fluttershy about this, she even questioned herself on this as she thought about coping without her marefriend or even her friends for that period of time.

Dash sighed. “This is going to be a struggle,” she said to herself before closing her eyes and falling asleep with thoughts about the mare she loved…

Both mares knew that the next few days would be struggle, neither of them wanted to lose the one that meant the most to them in life... but with all this would they be able to make the struggles of their bent relationship...

To be continued...
