Loyalty and Kindess

Fluttershy walked around her cottage, dusting here and there, making the place look spick and span. It was spring time in Equestria and all the flowers bloomed in the fields and all the animals came out of their hibernation. This was Fluttershy's favorite time of year, of course. She loved to have tea parties with her animal friends in the garden. She hummed happily as she spring cleaned her house. In the midst of the cleaning, there was a faint knock at the door. "Hm?" Fluttershy slowly made her way over and opened up the door with ease. "Hello...?"  A familiar girl was standing there, dressed in athletic gear.

"Hey Flutterhy." She said.

It was Rainbow Dash.

"Oh..um..hey Dash. Why are you here?" Fluttershy asks softly.

"Well, I had nothing to do so I thought I would stop by." She replies, flicking back her rainbow hair.

"Um..well then..come in!" Fluttershy opened up the door fully, allowing Rainbow to walk into her cottage. As soon as Rainbow Dash walked inside, Fluttershy carefully close the door behind her. "Wow..it's neat in here."

Fluttershy giggled, "Yeah, I've been doing a bit of Spring Cleaning."

"Ah, right. I'm not much of a tidier." Rainbow Dash smiled.

Fluttershy walked into the kitchen and started to boil some water. "Tea or coffee?" She asked with a gentle tone.

"Um, tea please." Replied Dash, hovering in the kitchen doorway.

"Okay, sugar too?"

"Yes please!"

Fluttershy smiled and got the ingredients and tools ready.

After the water boiled, Fluttershy put a tea bag each in their cups and then poured the boiling water in. "Um Rainbow? Can you pass me that teaspoon over there?" She pointed to a little silver teaspoon on the counter with her finger.

"Sure thing Fluttershy." Rainbow tossed the spoon to her a little too fast.

"Eeek!" She squealed and ducked down quickly. The spoon hit the mugs hard and they fell over with a crash. Hot water spilled out of the mugs and onto the floor. Fluttershy stood up and looked at the shocked Rainbow Dash. Dash had her hand over her mouth. "Sorry Fluttershy..." She said guiltily. The shy female looked at the tea and then at Dash.

"It's...it's fine..." She sighs and breaks off a bit of tissue from the rack. Flutters bent down and mopped up the hot water on the floor. "No....it's not fine..." Dash said with a hint of anger in her voice. The athletic girl grabbed a tissue and mopped up the counter as well as picking up the mugs and putting them in the sink. Fluttershy sighed and dropped her soaked tissue into the bin. "I'm sorry Fluttershy. I ruined our tea."

"I said it's fine..." The element of kindness looked at Rainbow in the eyes. "I Pinkie promise it is. I-I had a backup plan anyway.."

"Really?"

"Yes really. Why don't we go to Sugarcube Corner for lunch instead?"

Rainbow Dash smiled, "Alright...sounds like a good idea!"

Fluttershy giggled and linked arms with Dash. "Let's go then."

The pair walked together, arm in arm, to Sugarcube Corner. The sun shone brightly on them as if they were in the spotlight.
