An Unlikely Crush

Angel was concerned about the way Fluttershy had been acting for the past few days. She hadn't seemed as focused on what she was doing when..... only one pony was with her. Only one single pony made her like this. 'Oh', Angel thought.

Fluttershy needed to find out what it was, that feeling was going to make her head explode! The pink maned pony was on her way to town when she saw Rainbow Dash, practicing. Trying to pull off the Sonic Rainboom over and over. She gave up, and went back to her normal routine. Part way through, Fluttershy noticed her mouth had dropped open. She quickly closed it, and headed off to town. Blushing.

Fluttershy quickly brushed it off, before anypony could see it. She didn't even know why it was there. Fluttershy was on a mission. She needed to figure out what that feeling is. She didn't want any more sleepless nights.

She wasn't hungry, tired, scared (she had felt that before), bored. Fluttershy was getting frustrated. Then she saw a cyan pegasus flying around. She smiled. Wait. She thought. Could it be true? Did she...... Have a crush on that cyan mare? Her eyes widened. How did she not notice before!!! It should have been a feeling that should have been noticed when she first got it!

She had to admit, Rainbow Dash was beautiful. A cyan coat? She had never seen anything like before she met her! And wow. A rainbow mane is beautiful and rare! And those dark pink eyes just seem to put her in trances! And just like her, she was a pegasus.

She ran home like a filly running home from school for summer break.

"Oh Angel! I have a crush on Rainbow Dash!" Angel raised an eyebrow. "Oh, did you know already?" Both of Angel's eyebrows sunk into a poker face and nodded. "I guess it's kind of noticeable. I just hope Rainbow doesn't know. It could ruin our friendship." She stated worriedly.

Rainbow Dash was laying on her bead. Something was bothering her. Back in flight school, she had kind of developed feeling for the yellow coated filly. Through the years she had forgotten about it. It seemed she was starting to get them back. Yes, she had a crush on Fluttershy. Of all the ponies, she fell for her. And now that they were mares, she fell for her even harder. No, they weren't alike, but Dash belived they would be a perfect couple, but only if she loved her back. Her ears drooped. What were the chances Fluttershy was into mares?

"Ohhhhh......." The yellow pegasus muttered. "She's probably not even in to mares!" Fluttershy's ears drooped.

"How will I tell her?"

Both seemed to say in unison, in different spots, unaware of each other.

That night all Fluttershy could see was- Rainbow Dash and her dark pink eyes. All Rainbow could think about was, well, Fluttershy and her pine eyes. She hated when she saw tears behind those eyes. She ended up tearing up herself in her sleep, unaware of it.

"Whaa-" The blue pegasus woke up to her own face- which was covered with tears and sweat. "Gaa!!" She yelped, scrambling to the bathroom to make herself presentable and cool, like that never happened.

Most ponies cant concentrate to do what they do best when something's on thier mind, unless you're Pinky Pie. Twilight would have preformed the wrong spells. Rarity would have put the stitches in the wrong spot, let alone holding her levitation spell. Applejack would have missed the trees and most likely knocked over a bucket of apples, like when Apple Buck Season took place.

This seemed to be the case for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy kept giving her animals the wrong food, which resulted in a smack in the face from Angel.

A pegasus flying distracted is their worst nightmare. Especially for Rainbow Dash. With her speed, things can hurt. That resulted in flying into a few trees and mountains.

They were both thinking about their crushes.

When Fluttershy finally got everything right, she headed to the market for a small bag of birdseed, well Rainbow was desperately needing some bandages, headed to the market as well.

Fluttershy was tucking a bag of birdseed into her saddlebag when she almost ran into a cyan pony. She looked up to see Rainbow Dash, rubbing her forehead with her hoof where there was a bandage. Fluttershy put a hoof to her mouth.

"Oh! R-R-Rainbow Dash! Are you um, okay?" She asked in horror. Rainbow realized who she was talking to and flared her wings.

"O-of course I'm eh, okay!" It was normal to hear Fluttershy stammer during a conversation, but Rainbow, not so much.

"Rainbow, you're talking differently." She tilted her head.

"I'm fine! Eh, a hit to a tree must have messed with um, my h-head." She stated, hoping it wouldn't give Fluttershy suspicions.

"O-oh, Iya, have to go!" Fluttershy blurted. And she headed to the outskirts of town.

You idiot, Fluttershy! If you keep this up, you won't be able to talk to her! she thought.

Fluttershy didn't understand why her true love came to this, all she knew was she loved her. She had thought of her whole future with her before, and if they got married, her life would be complete. Almost.

She smiled. A blush formed across her face. She was looking at a photo album full of her and her cyan friend when they fillies up to teenagers. They had stuck to each other no madder what, their friendship lived on. They would be a perfect couple, but only if she loved her back.

Suddenly she heard a loud boom. She looked outside and saw a colourful ring spreading across the sky. A giant smile spread across her face as she couldn't contain her excitement and started rapidly jumping up and down yelling "YAA RAINBOW DASH!!! A SONIC RAINBOOM!!!!" another loud boom cut her cheering and a even wider smile crossed her face. She thought it might just jump off her face. "YAAAAAYYY RAINBOW!!! SONIC RAINBOOMS!!!!!"

Rainbow felt good. No. Amazing! She had just achieved her first 2 goals: Sonic Rainbooms and impress Fluttershy. She had heard Fluttershy from there.

"Dear sweet Celestia, I love her. If only she loved me." Rainbow said, her ears drooping.

Fluttershy wanted to take a walk in the Everfree Forest. She needed to visit her animal friends who lived there. Little did she know bad things were going to happen throughout the course of the week.
