It's Better Together

I wake up with my arms around something. I look over and I see Fluttershy, sleeping soundly. I was about to yelp out in a cry of surprise until I realized what had happened last night, Silly me! I carefully take my forelegs out from under and and on top of Fluttershy, careful not to wake her. Whew!

I walk down the stairs and I remember two things: the Cakes were away and it was Sunday, meaning Sugarcube Corner was closed. I guess it's good that the Cakes are away, because it was probably kind of hard to not hear me and Fluttershy last night. I giggled. I've actually never done that before! By the way Fluttershy responded to it, I did a super job!

I take out two vanilla cupcakes out of the fridge and take some icing bags- white, light pink, dark pink, yellow, baby blue and pine green. I worked for about fifteen minutes on each cupcake. As if on cue, Fluttershy drowsily stumbled down the stairs while I was putting the final touches on the cupcakes.

"Oh, Hi Flutters'! You're awake!" As soon as she looked up, she smiled. "I made us some breakfast!" I beamed.

"Cupcakes? For breakfast?" She questioned.

"Sure! Why not? I do it every day! You don't see me out of shape!" Fluttershy traced her eyes along my in-shape body and blushed. I couldn't stop myself from giggling. "Your funny, Fluttershy! And cute! That only made her blush deepen. I Showed her the cupcakes and it kind of looked like her heart melted when she saw them.

"Ohmigosh, Pinkie! Those cupcakes are soooo cute!" She cried, "Do you really care for me that much?" She asked.

"Of course I do! I love you, Fluttershy!" Flutters' smiled. She clashed our lips together. Man, that never got old. We parted and she timidly smiled.

"I love you too."

The cupcakes had white frosting with a iced picture of me on one, and Fluttershy on the other.

"Oh, Pinkie, I don't think I can eat it! It's so beautiful!" She cried.

"Nah, Flutter's, it's okay. I would be happier if you ate it."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." I told her.

We sit down in the same booth where we first kissed to eat our cupcakes.

We walk out of Sugarcube Corner, heading towards a clearing that Fluttershy told me about. We arrive at a tree, shading us from Celestia's sun. We lay down beside each other, and notice how beautiful it looked after a rainstorm. There was extra dew on the grass, and it gave a misty feeling in the air. We just lay there until something pops into my mind.

"Uh, Fluttershy?" I said. "How are we gonna tell our friends?" I asked.

"I-I guess I never really thought of that...... I think we should just tell them." She answered.

"I know, but, what will they think of us, being two mares in a relationship?" I asked, sounding a little worried. Fluttershy turned to me and pulled me into a kiss. When she broke the kiss, she said something in her soft voice, that made me relax a little bit.

"Don't worry, Pinkie. We just have to hope for the best. We both know our friends well enough to know that they would congratulate and support us."

I smiled at her and we dosed of for the rest of the morning.


After the nap we had under that tree, I feel a lot better. I started hopping instead of walking, and I had the biggest smile some people have ever seen! We were heading to The Golden Oak Library, where Twilight lived. When we knocked, Spike came out, not Twilight.

"Oh, hi Pinkie Pie! What brings you here?" He asked. My heart started beating faster when asked the question. I felt a tingle run my arm and I notice Fluttershy had touched my right foreleg to comfort. Aren't I silly!? I think I'm getting worked up for nothing!

"Yeah, we're here to see Twilight!" I said while jumping with joy.

"Ok! She's upstairs. TWILIGHT!!!" Wow! I didn't know he could yell that loud! Isn't he just a baby?

"Just a minute!" A voice came from upstairs. We walked in while Twilight started to walk down the stairs as Spike went up. "Hi girls! A how are you doing?" She asked.

"Hi, Twilight Me and Pinkie wanted to tell you something." Fluttershy said.

"Ok, what is it?" She asked.

"Ahem," I started. "Me and Fluttershy are......... In a relationship!" I spat out. Twilight looked dumbfounded. That's a funny word. Dumbfounded.

"R-really? You two?" She asked. "I you kidding?"

"Nope! Opposites attract! Right?" I pulled Fluttershy into a kiss, as if I was trying to prove my point. When we parted, I looked at Twilight, who had a omigosh face on.

"OMG (called it)! You guys look so cute together! Have you gone on a date yet?" Me and Fluttershy both blushed a really, really deep red, and we both put a shy smile on.

"Not exactly.............." I said with a devilish grin.

"Ok, I don't want to know." Twilight said.

"Good answer!" I replied.

"Well, we have to tell the rest of our friends. Bye!" Fluttershy said. As we left the library, Fluttershy's mane brushed along my side. It felt as smooth as silk.

"Fluttershy, did you know your mane is super-duper soft?" I asked.

"N-no I didn't." She smiled.

"Oh, well, it does!" Fluttershy giggled.

"You're so random, Pinkie," She commented. I like being random! "And that's why I love you." She added.

"Awe, shucks, Flutters, I said, while jumping foreword at least, like, four feet (again, what are feet?). Wow, that's far! "That's what I do!!!" I finished. I kissed her on the cheek and a blush appeared.

"Pinkie, you're so sweet." She said. "But, I'm kind of worried." I stopped bouncing and started walking.

"About what?" I asked.

"Well, I've been in relationships with mares before, and we go on something like three dates, and after that, they never call back. I'm worried that will happen with us."

"Fluttershy," I looked her in the eye. "The first time I saw the sun go down, I thought it would never come back up. But when I woke up the next morning, the sun was there, as bright as ever. What I'm saying is that we may run into bumps on the road, and out love might not always shine bright, but no madder what, our love will always shine through."

"Pinkie, when did you get so, not hyper?"

"I'll do whatever it takes to make somepony smile!" It's true!

"Hey guys!" A familiar voice called out. "What's up?"

"Hey, Dashie! We were actually looking for you! We need to tell you something!"

"Well ok! What is it?" She asked.

"Me and Pinkie are in a relationship." The words easily came out of her mouth, unlike me. Rainbow just looked at us for what seemed like a minute. Oh no! I don't think she likes it!

"You two? In a relationship? That's so adorable! I wish you luck in your relationship!" She said while flying off.

"Thanks!" I shouted back at her. "C'mon, Flutters'! We need to go tell the rest of our friends!

Our other to friends reacted pretty normal. Applejack wished us the best of luck and Rarity fainted from adorable overload, apparently.

"I'd say it's been a good day!" I said.

"Me too." Fluttershy agreed. "Hey, Pinkie?"

"What?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted to stay overnight at my place tonight."

"Yay! I'd love to!"

"Alright, let's go!"  And with that,, we started walking down the road towards her house, and I never stopped smiling.
