//-------------------------------------------------------// The Girl With Pink Hair -by PRlNCESS CADENCE- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Girl With Pink Hair //-------------------------------------------------------// The Girl With Pink Hair A girl with a white shirt and pink hair stood in a sea of teenagers as they waited for classes to start. On the glass door displaying Canterlot High’s many trophies, there was a note that read, “Come support your Lady Wondercolts this Friday night! South field @ 7:00!” The Lady Wondercolts was Canterlot High’s girls’ soccer team, and Rainbow Dash was expected to take the win and send them to the county tournament. “Can you believe that we might go to the tournament?” Applejack said beside her, startling the oblivious pink-haired girl. “First time in what, 15 years?” “That’s what Rainbow Dash said,” the girl replied. “You’re going too, right?” “’Fraid I can’t. Work’s got me in a bind, but otherwise I’d be there. It’s just that the catering company was desperate for some extra workers due to this big weddin’ reception, so…” Both of their expressions went gloomy. “Hey, what about Rarity?” The pink-haired girl broke eye contact, rubbing her arms and trying to find some way she could support Rainbow Dash without being in the stands by herself. “Rarity’s got a big date that she’s really excited about. I’m sure she’d ask her date if they could go to the game first, but I don’t want them to move their plans around just for me. Pinkie Pie will be around every once in a while, but she’s really excited about being the school mascot.” The southern girl put her hand on top of the pink-haired girl’s shoulder, trying to sympathize as best she could. “Then maybe this’ll be yer chance to meet some new people!” “I…” She wanted to object. She knew that in social activities like sports events, people always came with friends, and nobody wanted to invite some stranger into their group. Still, though, she knew that there was nothing she could do, and she didn’t want to make Applejack feel bad about having to work. “I’ll try.” She would try, but when did trying ever help her in social gatherings? All she had ever managed to accomplish by trying was make people feel awkward, which made her feel even worse. This was Rainbow Dash’s time to shine, which the pink-haired girl realized, but she always felt so anxious when she was alone in a crowd. She wouldn’t let that stop her this time, though. She’d do it for Rainbow Dash. “Hey, Fluttershy!” Lunchtime. The pink-haired girl looked through the sea of heads until she finally saw Rainbow Dash waving her down from the other side of the room. She sat down with her friends Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, a boy in a dark beanie named Norman and a girl with green hair and a red beret named Patricia. “Aren’t you super-duper nervous?” Pinkie Pie asked. Fluttershy reflexedly nodded her head before noticing that she was talking to Rainbow Dash. “Nahh, I’m sure we’ll do fine,” Rainbow replied. “You’re coming to see the game tonight, aren’t you Fluttershy?” “Well, yes, but um—” “Awesome!” Rainbow said, putting her arms around her pink-haired friend. “You know, I was kind of nervous.” Fluttershy cocked an eyebrow. Rainbow Dash had never been nervous before, at least not that she’d ever admit. “With everyone busy that night, I was afraid that my entire cheering section would be Pinkie Pie. Not that she won’t out cheer everyone anyway, but it’s still nice knowing I can depend on you.” “I just…” Fluttershy took in a deep breath. “Isn’t there anyone who I can at least sit next to? Patricia, what about you?” The girl in the beret suddenly had a face that voiced her displeasure, but trying to be nice, she said, “Sorry, Fluttershy, but I promised that I’d take the crusaders to see the game.” “Oh, that’s perfect! I could—” “Alone. Sorry.” Patricia always wanted to be alone with the crusaders for some reason. “Norman could go with you, though.” “What?” Norman blurted out. Everyone at the table nodded their heads in agreement to Patricia’s idea. “But I was gonna play my Xbox tonight…” The girls all scowled at him, except for Fluttershy, who looked away in rejection. “But… I guess I can watch the game instead.” “Perfect!” Rainbow exclaimed, patting Norman on the back. “That just makes our last home game even louder! I’ll see you both there tonight.” All of Fluttershy’s anxiety soon turned into excitement. Sure, she wasn’t as close to Norman as she was to all of her girl friends, but at least she had someone she could talk to. Fluttershy was one of the first people to arrive to the game, finding a place in the middle of the stands so Norman would be able to see everything. It wasn’t long at all until people soon after started filing into the bleachers, yet Norman was nowhere to be found. Two after two, groups of people tried sitting next to the pink-haired girl, who had to helplessly repeat herself over and over that she was saving a seat for her friend. Being honest with herself though, she had no idea if Norman remembered or if he even planned on ever showing up. The buzzer sounded to start the game, yet Fluttershy sat by herself in a crowd of cheering Wondercolts. This was the loudest the south field had ever been, maybe even louder than the football games. What if Norman was really somewhere in the crowd, calling out to her, trying to find her? There were more people at this game than in any game she’d ever been to. What if Norman tried looking for her but gave up because of how many people there were? She looked through the barrage of faces in an attempt to find a girl wearing a red beret. Patricia hopefully wouldn’t be mad if Fluttershy just swung by for a second, would she? The crowd was on their feet, pumping their fists into the air and cheering every time Canterlot High made it onto the other team’s side of the field. It made finding the green-haired girl nearly impossible to spot. Finally Fluttershy managed to spot out Patricia’s black shirt and gloves standing at the very back of the tall bleachers. She was with the crusaders, lifting Sweetie Belle up onto her shoulders so she could more easily see the game. Wait, did Patricia just try looking up Sweetie Belle’s skirt…? “Sorry we’re late, Yellow.” Fluttershy turned at the sound coming from beside her and jumped about two feet into the air. Norman had finally showed up, eliciting a tight squeeze from the pink-haired girl. She noticed Norman’s look of surprise and quickly released him from her—wait… “We?” Fluttershy looked over Norman’s shoulder and saw a pair of baby blue eyes that matched the spiked hair above. He wore a black, leather jacket that accentuated his firm shoulders and breath-taking smile. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything,” he said with his soothing, serene voice, and just like that, Fluttershy was nervous again. “Looks like we haven’t missed anything so far,” Norman said, remaining standing like everyone else in the crowd. “Oh, Brad, this is Yel—I mean, Fluttershy.” “Flash Sentry. Nice to meet you,” the boy said, holding out his hand. The pink-haired girl grabbed it, hoping that he wouldn’t notice how cold her hands were in his warm, tender grasp. “Wow, your hands are cold. You been out here long?” “Um… a little,” Fluttershy said, trying her best to keep eye contact. Facing his perfect smile, though, seemed next to impossible. “I wanted to make sure we got good seats, so I came early.” “Good call! We’ve got the best seats in the house!” Fluttershy dropped her gaze completely to the ground, rubbing a hand up her arm and hoping he wouldn’t see how rosy her cheeks just became. “You must be freezing, though.” Fluttershy perked her eyes up. “What? Oh, no, I’m fine.” “Don’t be ridiculous. It’s almost winter and you’re wearing a tank top. Here, you can wear this.” He took off his leather jacket and passed it over Norman. Knowing Fluttershy would probably say no, Norman grabbed the jacket and put it into her hands, taking away her ability to argue. “Go! Go! GO! YES!” “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!” Everyone in the bleachers started screaming as they saw a soccer ball hit the opposing team’s net and heard the voice over the loudspeaker. Everyone, that is, except for Fluttershy, who put on the leather jacket (which looked about two sizes too big for her), smiled, and blushed until her face was a deep crimson. Throughout the rest of the game, Fluttershy seemed much more calm than normal. It may have just been that her mind was so busy trying to figure out whether the exhilarating aroma of Flash’s jacket was some kind of cologne or just his natural scent. Maybe the scent itself was calming her anxiety, giving her the relaxation she needed to cheer Rainbow Dash on with all her heart. Every time Fluttershy cheered, though, Flash would look over and smile. “And the Wondercolts use their last time out.” The game was down to its final seconds of regulation. The bleachers were suddenly dead silent, crossing their fingers and praying for something amazing. Rainbow Dash had managed to score 4 goals by herself, but every time she scored, the opposing team managed to answer back within seconds, leaving the score tied 4-4. Rainbow Dash and her team slowly walked back onto the field, minus one girl who waited by the sideline. The rainbow-haired girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Looking over to the girl on the sidelines, she nodded her head. The girl, rather than throwing the ball in like the crowd expected, kicked it in the opposite direction of the goal. Everybody in the stands held their breath, thinking that the Wondercolt would just try to keep it away from the opposing team long enough to enter overtime, but that was just their strategy. Nobody was even near the ball except for Rainbow Dash. Reeling her leg back as far as it would go, she kicked the ball into the air from the other side of the field. The ball shot above everyone’s heads, making an arc down to the opposing team’s goal and just barely squeezing past the goalie. Everyone in the crowd jumped up, cheering louder than they had the entire game. Flash high-fived Norman and went in to give Fluttershy a celebratory hug. To him, it was just another way of cheering for his team, but to Fluttershy, she found herself in a place she never even dreamed of being: in a boy’s arms. Once Rainbow Dash and the team had finished their post-game meeting, the rainbow-haired girl had to cut through a storm of fans just to get to Fluttershy and Norman. “Congratulations, Rainbow Dash!” the pink-haired girl said. “Can you believe it?!” Rainbow exclaimed. “We won! We’re going to the tournament!” “If you want,” Flash said, addressing the superstar, “I heard Pinkie say she’s hosting an after party, if you feel like making an appearance.” “Are you kidding? Of course I’ll be there! Let’s go!” Rainbow Dash, even despite all the running she had to do to win, sprinted her way to her car. Fluttershy looked down at the ground, knowing that this was going to be the end of the night for her. “Well, here you go,” Fluttershy said shyly, handing Flash his jacket back. “Thanks for letting me use it.” Then, giving Flash one final smile, she began walking away. “What, are you going home?” he asked. Fluttershy stopped in her tracks. “Why don’t you come along?” “M-m-me?” “C’mon, Yellow,” Norman said, pushing Fluttershy towards Flash’s car. The pink-haired girl wanted to object, knowing how nervous she got at parties, even some of Pinkie Pie’s parties, but she wanted to take a risk this time. After all, Flash was going to be there. Fluttershy giggled to herself, just quiet enough to be inaudible to the boys around her. *** Flash and Rainbow Dash pulled up to Pinkie Pie’s house at the same time. The neighborhood was already filled with cars parked all over, but that was typical for one of Pinkie’s parties. Rainbow Dash, wearing her varsity jacket, opened the door and was immediately hit by a wave of roaring teenagers. As soon as she was inside, Fluttershy ran in, searching for her energetic friend. Pinkie was in the middle of a group of varsity football players, passing around cupcakes when Fluttershy spotted her. “Hey, Fluttershy! You made it! Is Norman here too?” “Yes, but uh… There’s something I wanna talk to you about… alone, if that’s OK…” “Oh! I love secrets! Follow me!” Pinkie grabbed Fluttershy by the hand and dragged her into the bathroom with her, closing the door behind them. “So, what did you wanna talk about?” “Well, I’m kinda nervous about—” “Everything? That’s not a secret, silly!” “Um… actually… there’s a boy—” “Uh-oh! Did one of the linebackers dare each other to see how many cupcakes they could eat? I told them that I didn’t have enough, but I was onto ‘em! Thanks for letting me know, Fluttershy!” “No!” Fluttershy blocked Pinkie from opening the door before she managed to storm out in a rage. “Pinkie, it’s about someone else.” “Did someone throw up in the potted plants again? I don’t know why someone throws up at every one of my after parties!” “No, it’s… I have a crush on a boy. There! I said it!” Pinkie half-lidded her eyes and smiled. “Ooooohhhh. Somebody’s in love?” “No! Well—not exactly…” “Oh! Who is it who is it who is it!” Pinkie Pie was practically bouncing up and down. Shaking, Fluttershy averted her gaze and said, “His name is Flash Sentry.” Pinkie’s excitement suddenly took a U-turn and left her standing still, completely shocked. “Whoa! Flash Sentry?” Fluttershy’s eyes darted back to Pinkie. “You know him?” Pinkie Pie giggled. “Well, duh! He’s only the hottest guy at CHS. Girls all over the school would give just about anything to play seven minutes in heaven with that guy. I mean, being handsome is one thing, but he’s in a band, he drives a really fancy car, he’s super nice to everybody—” “O-oh…” Fluttershy felt like crying all of a sudden. Finally, a time when she let herself become vulnerable enough to actually like a boy, and he was far out of her league. “Wait, how do you know him?” “Well, Norman brought him to the game. He was really nice—at least he seemed really nice. Ohhh!” Fluttershy grunted in frustration. “I hardly even know him! I just fall head over heels for the first cute guy to hand me over his jacket.” “Did you flirt with him at all?” Fluttershy, shook her head frantically. “Oh, no no no no! I couldn’t do something like that!” “Sure you can!” Pinkie leaned into Fluttershy’s face, getting far closer than she was comfortable with. “You just gotta bat your eyelashes a little bit. Boys love that. Then you laugh at all their jokes, and be sure to touch them on their shoulder like this.” Pinkie Pie draped her arms seductively over Fluttershy’s shoulder, giving her a sexy, half-lidded stare. Suddenly, the doorknob to the bathroom jiggled. As the door swung open, Norman saw Pinkie Pie looking like she was about to get intimate with her pink-haired friend. Chuckling, Norman said, “Awesome.” “Oh, nevermind,” Fluttershy said, putting her face into her hands and running out of the bathroom. “Fluttershy, wait!” Pinkie exclaimed as she chased after Fluttershy. The pink-haired girl, though, didn’t turn back, disappearing in a crowd of varsity jocks. Unable to keep her emotions in any longer, she sat down on a couch behind a large crowd and began crying into the palms of her hands. Minutes passed, yet her tears didn’t stop. It wasn’t the idea that she’d never be good enough for Flash Sentry that was making her so upset. Instead, she was crying because of who she was. She was timid and anxious, and even if she ever did meet the boy of her dreams, her insecurities would chase him away. She had no chance of ever finding true love. She was— “Hey, is something up?” And then she felt better. Fluttershy looked up, tears still welling in her eyes, seeing Flash sitting next to her with his hand on her shoulder. Gasping, she tried wiping the tears away as quickly as she could and pretend like everything was alright. “Oh, hey, Flash!” Her voice was so shaky, and if she was really trying to convince Flash she was OK, she was doing a pretty crummy job of it. “Is something the matter, Fluttershy?” “What? What could be wrong? Pinkie Pie’s parties are always the best parties!” “It’s funny, she mentioned she was looking for you. Now what are you doing out here instead of celebrating with your friends?” Fluttershy, though nervous as she was, tried continuing the charade that she knew Flash wasn’t buying into. “Oh, you know. I just got all partied out out there and… I didn’t want to hurt Pinkie’s feelings, cause you know, I was out there dancing this whole time, and I just needed to take a break, but you know Pinkie, always trying to get us off our feet and…” It took Fluttershy up until this point for her to realize how badly she was rambling. “OK, there might be something wrong, but I can’t tell you about it.” “Then don’t.” Fluttershy was about to get up and move somewhere she could return to crying, but then—“Tell me about what makes you happy, then.” The pink-haired girl was left flabbergasted. She was usually talking to people about what makes them happy. Very rarely did anyone ever asked her about what she liked, let alone a boy. “Well,” she started, “I like animals.” “Bradical! Tell me about that, then.” His enchanting smile somehow got even dreamier. “What kinds of animals do you like?” “Oh! Just about all of them! I even volunteer at an animal shelter not far away from the school! I help all sorts of bunnies and kittens and birds who can’t take care of themselves.” “Any favorite animal?” “Well, I’m not sure if you’d count it as an animal, but I think butterflies are the most beautiful creatures ever!” Flash chuckled. “Yeah, they are beautiful, aren’t they?” It was at that moment when Fluttershy realized that her cheeks hurt. From smiling! She was actually smiling! And it wasn’t fake! “You know what?" he continued. "It’s kinda loud down here. Why don’t we go talk about it upstairs? Would that be OK with you?” Fluttershy wanted to say yes, but still smiling brightly, she could barely mumble, “Uh huh.” Flash grabbed the pink-haired girl by the hand and led her upstairs. Fluttershy couldn’t believe it! She was holding hands with Flash Sentry! Flash led them to a room at the top of the stairs, which he thought was empty.As he opened the door, though, he witnessed Applejack on top of Norman, both of them butt naked. Fluttershy clasped her hands to her face out of embarrassment and Flash slammed the door as quickly as he could, hoping to unsee the image. “Well…” he said. “That just happened.” “When did Applejack get here?” “Let’s just find a different room!” They then walked away and opened the door to another room down the hall. This time, the room was completely empty of people. Flash, still holding Fluttershy’s hand, led her down onto the bed as they sat side by side. “So,” he said. “Where did we leave off?” “You were telling me about what you like,” Fluttershy said with an innocent grin. “I’ll tell you, but don’t think we’re just gonna forget about that whole butterflies topic! I’m not done with that yet. Deal?” Fluttershy giggled. “Deal.” As Flash told her about all the things he enjoyed, the pink-haired girl unconsciously drifted closer and closer to him until their hands were almost touching, their faces just inches away. Flash loved playing his bass guitar and sports, but he also enjoyed cooking and trying out new recipes from restaurants. In almost every story he told, he found some way to make Fluttershy laugh, but most importantly, Fluttershy was talking too. It was like she could say anything to him and he would just tell her how cool she was for liking something or knowing about something or doing something. “And so I said to the guy, that’s not a kindergartener! That’s my wife!” Fluttershy laughed hysterically, just like the way Pinkie Pie always did. She had been smiling so much that by this point it hurt not to smile, but it wasn’t like she ever wanted to stop smiling anyway. This couldn’t be how Pinkie Pie felt all the time, could it? The pink-haired girl wanted to say something, but all of her words were completely overtaken by a feeling in her chest. It was almost like butterflies, hundreds of them, which had just hatched and were suddenly flying all over the place. “So how about those butterflies?” Flash asked with a grin. “What?!” Fluttershy gasped, hoping that the feeling in her chest wasn’t too obvious. “Didn’t I tell you that we were gonna go back to this whole butterflies topic?” Smiling and giggling, she moved an inch closer. “What about them would you like to talk about?” Flash moved his own face closer about an inch, which would normally send Fluttershy’s head through a tailspin, but this time, she was moving her face closer too. “You know what’s even more beautiful than any butterfly?” His voice had descended into a soft whisper. “What?” Fluttershy whispered back, not even caring about the answer. Her eyes had practically closed, her mouth reaching up towards Flash’s, separated by hardly any distance at all. The feeling of butterflies suddenly felt like elephants trying to rip out of her chest. She didn’t know whether she couldn’t breathe or was breathing so hard that she wasn’t letting any air out. This was the happiest moment of her— “Heyyy! I didn’t know you were still here!” Flash and Fluttershy opened their eyes and returned to a normal distance apart as Pinkie Pie opened the door, killing the moment instantly. Norman walked in behind her, rubbing the back of his neck. “Listen, Brad,” he said. “So, uh… what happened earlier with Applejack… you aren’t gonna—” “We’re gonna pretend like that never happened,” Flash replied unenthusiastically. “Good man. Now, can we get out of here? I think I need to wash away the sin.” Flash turned to Fluttershy with his usual, beautiful smile. “You about ready to go?” She wanted to say no. She wanted to hold him and kiss the living daylights out of him, not caring who saw… but she was still the same old Fluttershy… “Yeah, it’s pretty late. We should probably go.” *** The following Monday was the quietest that the lunch table had ever been. Rainbow Dash, Rarity or Pinkie would try starting up conversation in some way, but the others just awkwardly looked down at their food. Applejack finally broke her silence. “So, uh… Patricia… about you takin’ Applebloom to the movies this weekend…” “You know, I think I’m gonna be busy that day,” Patricia replied. “Oh, good, ‘cause I was just thinkin’ I need to spend more time with my family anyway… Since I’ve been workin’ so much lately and all… and Norman I bought that uh… thing… you wanted me to get.” “You mean the preg—” Applejack shot Norman a glare before he could finish. “I mean, good. I’m glad you got that… H-how’s your day been, Yellow?” “It’s been… nice…” she said in her usual timid demeanor. It wasn’t, though. Ever since Fluttershy got home after the party, she had been fighting with herself emotionally. Was that all real? Of course! It had to have been! Flash Sentry couldn’t have been acting that whole time! But he’s so nice. Maybe that whole time he was talking to her just so she wouldn’t get her feelings hurt. What if it was real, though? Should she go talk to him? Fluttershy looked over at where the rockers usually sat for lunch, and sure enough, he was chatting with his friends, enjoying life. Maybe the whole thing was just her imagination. What if the whole time Fluttershy felt that spark, Flash just felt normal, and maybe that whole evening was just one-sided emotion? What if she almost kissed him, when he had no feelings for her whatsoever? The bell rang, giving the pink-haired girl a momentary release from the constant bombardment of thoughts racing through her head. As she was just about out of the cafeteria, though, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Jumping at the sudden touch, she turned her head to see Flash Sentry, giving her that smirk that she loved so very much. “Hey, sorry our night had to be cut short on Friday,” he said. “Maybe I could make it up to you?” Wait, what was this? Was this really…? “What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked quizzically. “I mean, you don’t need to apologize for anything, but what were you thinking about?” “Well, you hardly got to tell me about those butterflies.” She couldn’t put the sensation of those butterflies into words even if she wanted to. “So anyway, I was thinkin’ maybe we could hang out tonight.” Fluttershy’s mouth fell to the ground. She wanted words to come out, but she was so caught off guard that she couldn’t let out anything more than an awkward mumble. “I mean, if you don’t want to, that’d be OK t—” “I’d love to!” Oops. Was that too loud? “Great! I’ll swing by your place at 5. Sound good to you?” Again, Fluttershy couldn’t talk, but she nodded her head, bringing back that smile that she had the previous night. “Bradical. I’ll see you later, then.” As Flash walked away, Fluttershy felt more nervous and confused and excited as ever. Was that supposed to happen? Did most girls get like that, or was that just Fluttershy being Fluttershy? Either way, she was going on a date with Flash Sentry, which she was pretty sure meant that he liked her, but the pink-haired girl had trained herself to never get too carried away with optimism. Maybe she could be optimistic just this once, though… *** Fluttershy barely made it home by 5 o’clock. Once she told Rarity about her little date with Flash Sentry, she was whisked away to Rarity’s house to get ready. Fluttershy was suddenly trying out all kinds of different outfits, sniffing the perfect perfume and picking out the perfect lip-gloss for the occasion. “Oh, this is every girl’s dream, darling!” Rarity said over and over. “M-maybe I should just back out,” Fluttershy said, suddenly feeling the pressure of the night ahead of her. “I don’t want to go through with this if he’s just going to find a girl that’s better than me. I don’t think I could take it.” “But what if you’re the perfect girl for him?” Fluttershy’s heart skipped a beat. “Come here. Sit down.” Rarity pulled her down onto her bed like Flash had done three nights ago. “This is what love is all about, dear. It’s about taking risks. If you never give yourself the chance to love, nobody else is going to do it for you, and that’s when Flash will run off with someone else.” Fluttershy gulped, feeling a lump in the front her throat like if she had just dry-swallowed a pill. “That’s just it, though,” Rarity continued. “You could be everything he’s ever dreamed of, and he could be everything you’ve ever dreamed of.” “But… he already is everything I’ve ever dreamed of.” “Then go get him.” Rarity smiled at Fluttershy and embraced her into a tender hug. “If he’s really that special, don’t you think he deserves the risk?” Putting on the bravest face she could, the pink-haired girl retorted, “He’s more than worth it, but that still leaves one question.” Fluttershy disappeared into Rarity’s closet, coming back out with a stunning white and green top and matching skirt. Holding up a pair of butterfly earrings, and smiling wider than Rarity could remember, she asked, “Do you think this would be too much?” “Darling,” she said, getting up and putting a hand on each of Fluttershy’s shoulders, “I think they make you look fabulous.” *** Rarity brought Fluttershy home just in time for Flash to come pick her up. Knowing how much Fluttershy enjoyed animals and just life in general, he took her up to the forest by the school, which had the most romantic little pond she could imagine. Fluttershy was in heaven, seeing birds up close that she had only seen from far distances and cute little woodland critters that she was tempted to snuggle into submission. He even brought nuts that Fluttershy got to feed the squirrels! “I hope I picked a good place,” Flash said with a nervous chuckle. Fluttershy couldn’t help but hug him tight. “It’s wonderful.” There, with Flash in her arms, the butterflies came back, and she was just praying that Flash wouldn’t be able to physically feel them like Fluttershy could. “Flash…” The pink-haired girl released the man in her arms, sitting up and looking him straight in the eye. “Can I talk to you about something?” “Sure. What’s up?” “I wanna talk to you about the butterflies.” Chuckling, Flash said, “Go ahead. I’m all ears.” As he said those words, he moved Fluttershy’s hair past her ear, revealing the butterfly earrings she was wearing, but mostly just sending tingles down her neck. “Have you ever felt… like you had butterflies flying inside you?” “You mean like I ate one?” Fluttershy giggled at his silly joke. “I know what you mean. It’s like your chest is filled with nerves that keep bouncing all over. You don’t know exactly what you’re feeling, but at the same time, you know that you don’t want it to stop. Yeah, I’ve felt that before. I felt it not too long ago, actually.” Fluttershy leaned her shoulders in closer to Flash, never losing contact with his hypnotizing baby blue eyes. “It was the night we met, when we were talking, just the two of us. Then…” Both Fluttershy and Flash leaned in closer. “…we were about…” Their faces were practically touching. “…to…” Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Flash’s neck and pressed their lips together, holding him as close to her heart as she could. Their eyes slid shut, holding each other like nothing mattered in the world. Flash wrapped one arm around Fluttershy’s waist, bringing her close enough to know that nothing could ever hurt her while she was in his arms. His other hand was used to run his fingers through her long, silk-like hair. As their lips came apart, their eyes locked together, and nothing made them smile more than that look in their eyes. It was a look that said… “I love you.” Fluttershy clasped her hands to her mouth. It was out. Was that too soon? Oh, no! What was she going to do now? He was probably going to think she was some kind of freak! “Hey,” Flash gentling pulled her hands off of her mouth. With a smirk, he said softly, “I love you too, Fluttershy.” After another moment of looking deep into each other’s eyes, the pink-haired girl wrapped her arms around Flash again, bringing him into a blissful, tender kiss. They felt like each time their lips touched, they could stay there for eternity, yet every time their lips came back together, they were filled with a completely new emotion. Their lips came apart one more time, and for the next few minutes they spent together, they just fell into each other’s arms, Flash running his hand through Fluttershy’s hair and Fluttershy running her fingernails up Flash’s chest. Rarity was right. This was definitely worth the risk. *** When Flash finally brought Fluttershy home, it was almost 9 o’clock. They spent almost the entire time talking about anything and everything. It was like the first night they spent together, only this time, there were no doubts, no worries, and no problems on her mind. “Flash,” Fluttershy said as he followed her to her doorstep. “I want to say so many things, but words aren’t coming to me.” “Then don’t say anything,” he replied, planting a small kiss on her lips. “I’ll see you tomorrow?” “Actually... there is something I want to say.” Flash cocked his eyebrow in curiosity. “Come inside.” Fluttershy then opened the door, leading her boyfriend up to her room with her and sitting him onto her bed with her. “Flash, I’m not ready for today to be over yet.” Chuckling, he replied, “I’ll stay for as long as you’d like me to.” Suddenly, a thought crossed Fluttershy’s mind, leaving her giggling to herself, and just the sight of Fluttershy laughing made Flash laugh along with her. “What is it?” “I’d like tonight to last forever.” Flash put a hand behind the pink-haired girl’s back. “Then maybe it can.” The two fell back into a passionate kiss, the kind that not many things could ever hope to break. Flash was already starting to feel warm, so for just a moment, he let go of his beautiful sweetheart to take off his jacket. Once their arms interlocked around their backs once more, they found themselves falling sideways onto the bed behind them. Flash’s hand made sensual strokes down Fluttershy’s side and hip, which was retorted by Fluttershy moving her hand into Flash’s shirt and up his chest. The feeling of the boy’s bare skin against her fingertips was sending the girl’s hormones into a frenzy. Without taking another moment to think, Fluttershy grabbed Flash’s shirt and lifted it over his head. This, however, just left her hormones going even wilder as she gazed at Flash’s broad shoulders and firm figure. The boy moved his lips from Fluttershy’s over to her sensitive neck and began making small pecks on her skin. The pink-haired girl bit her lips and squeezed her legs together as her crotch was met with an unknown sensation from the inside. Acting on impulses, though, she brought a hand to her sensitive area, pushing down to try and suppress the surging estrogen. Instead, she felt more and more intimate cravings forming between her legs. Fluttershy moved her top leg in between Flash’s, just moving her legs as spasms of horny enthusiasm conquered her ability to think clearly. She thought that anxiety made thinking difficult, but what she was feeling now was like three layers of storm clouds covering any light she had left. The only thing that she could think about was how wet and tight she was becoming with every kiss that landed on her neck. Just when she thought her hormones were out of control, though, Flash grabbed hold of her shirt and began tugging it upwards, and she was allowing it! She was thriving on it! Flash took only a minute to stop kissing Fluttershy’s neck and pull her shirt off over her head. Her heavy breathing was much more apparent with her almost completely bare chest rising and falling. Almost, though, was not a word that Flash Sentry liked to settle on. Kissing Fluttershy’s neck more passionately than ever, he dug his hands behind her back and began unlatching her bra. The whirlwind of ecstasy, however, made it near impossible for Fluttershy to even notice. She was so enthralled by the tender touch of Flash Sentry’s lips that she had almost no idea that Flash was removing the only thing covering her bare torso, and by the time she realized it, her bra was in Flash’s mouth, being pulled off of her exposed breasts. Fluttershy was always the most beautiful girl to Flash, ever since the day he met her, but now the most seductive, alluring visage that he had ever seen was Fluttershy’s breasts, making his crotch grow at an unbearably quick rate. The sight of her smooth nipples poking out of her breasts put Flash’s face into a state of awe, making Fluttershy laugh a little to herself. “Here,” she said, looking down at a bulge in Flash’s pants. “Let me help you with that.” The pink-haired girl then unbuttoned the boy’s jeans and pulled them down his legs. The head of his penis, however, extended past the edge of his boxers, giving Fluttershy that same dazed look. She quickly looked up at Flash, who nodded, and that was all the permission Fluttershy needed to slowly pull down Flash’s remaining clothes. This was the first time Fluttershy had ever seen a penis, and it was sending cascades down her moistening sex organs. Timidly at first, she reached for the throbbing member pulsing and growing in front of her. She could feel it grow longer and harder in her hand, pulse after pulse. Moving up and down the shaft, she experimented with how Flash would react to Fluttershy gently stroking him. Flash let out a sexy, low breath as she got her soft fingers up to the glans of his penis. Her stroking picked up, going up and down his shaft several times per second, but most importantly, leaving Flash too aroused to know what to do with himself. This may have been her first time having any contact with a penis, but somehow, she knew exactly what to do with them. Giving Flash a quick wink, she slid the head into her mouth, gently grazing the foreskin with her teeth. Her tongue wrapped around the shaft as she pushed even more into her mouth. She was not only stroking his penis, but now she was moving her mouth back and forth, getting it covered in saliva while she rubbed him below. Flash then gently grabbed the back of Fluttershy’s hair and pulled her in closer to his pelvis. Fluttershy moaned quickly on his dick, realizing for the first time how much she enjoyed it when the boy took control. Throughout this whole time, Fluttershy continued to squeeze her legs, using her spare hand to push between them. Once Flash felt like he needed a break from Fluttershy blowing him, he pushed the pink-haired girl back onto her bed and fell to her waist. He slowly reached behind her, grabbed the top of Fluttershy’s skirt and gradually pulled it down to the floor, revealing her pure white panties with a small wet spot at the bottom. He then leaned over Fluttershy, smirking that same beautiful way and bringing his finger down to the wet spot of her panties. Fluttershy let out a deep breath and arched her back, thinking only about how good it felt and how much more she wanted. “Having fun?” Flash asked, teasing her by running circles around Fluttershy’s crotch. “Oh, Flash,” she said in a breathy, moaned voice. “I want it so bad.” He leaned his face down and kissed her on the cheek. “How bad do you want it?” Fluttershy moaned even louder. “Please, Flash! Give it to me.” Without further hesitation, Flash grabbed the top of Fluttershy’s panties and pulled them down to her knees. He traced his finger up and down Fluttershy’s labia, making Fluttershy grab a pillow just to have something to squeeze onto. He then pushed his middle finger into Fluttershy’s narrow canal, making her squeeze her eyelids shut and moan even louder. He could feel her inner walls start to clench around his finger, but the lube pouring out helped him slide in and out. All the while, Fluttershy took quick peaks at Flash’s dick to see it continue to grow pulse after pulse. “I want you… inside me,” Fluttershy managed to get out between pants. Just to make sure Flash knew what she was talking about, though, she grabbed onto his penis and squeezed it as tight as she could. “Mmmm not quite yet,” Flash moaned as Fluttershy gave him the same taunting pleasure that he was giving her. Fluttershy, though, just smirked and rubbed him up and down harder. Fighting fire with fire, Flash put two fingers into Fluttershy’s vagina. The pink-haired girl completely stopped what she was doing, stunned at the touch. “You sure you want it?” “Mmmm,” Fluttershy cooed. “I want it, Flash.” “How bad do you want it?” “I want you inside me so bad!” Flash then took his fingers out of Fluttershy’s orifice and replaced the space with his penis. The pink-haired girl shot up in her bed, filled with pleasure, hypnosis and a little bit of pain, but nothing compared to the feeling she had right there when Flash moved his shaft up Fluttershy’s already narrow walls. The boy began rocking his pelvis forwards and back, letting the feeling of Fluttershy’s vagina gently rub against his outer skin take as long as it could. She was so wet at this point that he was already having an easy time maneuvering through her inner walls. He grabbed onto her hands and continued to pulse his hips forward into Fluttershy’s orifice. The pink-haired girl moaned more and more loudly, the timbre of her already high voice continually getting sharper. Her hips were moving up and down in contrasting rhythms with Flash, getting as much of his dick inside her as possible with each thrust. Suddenly, Flash flipped Fluttershy so that he was on his back and her legs were wrapped around his waist. Fluttershy was now bouncing on top of Flash in a cowgirl position, but it was becoming increasingly more difficult as her walls contracted onto Flash’s stiffening penis. Biting her lip, Fluttershy grinded on Flash’s pelvis as hard as she could, getting his penis deep enough to touch her cervix. It was a painful experience, but the amount of horny joy that hit Fluttershy’s pouring estrogen made it well worth it. After a few more rides, though, Flash started moaning more loudly. Knowing what this meant, she quickly got off of his penis, enjoying how much of a struggle it was to get him out. She then got on her knees, put her mouth back on top and began rubbing. Several long, invigorating moans later, she felt his cock begin to throb in her mouth. Instantly, cum began shooting into her mouth and pouring down her throat, blast after blast. After what felt like 7 or 8 blasts from his dick, the semen finally began to slow down, giving her a chance to lift her head up, knock her hair back and drink it down. Fluttershy intertwined her legs with Flashes again, but this time, she just wanted to be held. The boy put his right arm around Fluttershy’s shoulder, pulling her into his chest and kissing her on the forehead. The couple then fell into a loving embrace and another long kiss to end a perfect day. “I love you, Fluttershy.” “I love you too, Flash Sentry.”
