Loyalty and Kindess

The two friends walked to Sugarcube Corner, their arms linked happily. Rainbow Dash pushed the door open with one hand for Fluttershy. "Thank you, Rainbow." She stepped inside as the bell above the door chimed.

"Hey hey girls!" Pinkie Pie jumped out from the counter and hugged them. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh, we just came to get a couple of snacks for lunch. Right Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy nodded.

"Okie dokie lokie! Choose your pick!" Pinkie Pie bounced to the counter and revealed 2 cupcakes. She pointed to them individually, "So. Here's the Rainbow Road," She pointed to a rainbow colored cupcake with white starry sprinkles. "and here's the Yellow Mellow," A yellow cupcake with bright yellow butterflies. "you'll like that one Fluttershy!" She said and handed it over to her.

"It looks very lovely Pinkie Pie, thank you," Fluttershy held the cupcake in her hand. "how much is it?"

"You can have it for free! That's what best friends are for, right?"

"Oh thank you Pinkie!" She hugged Pinkie happily.

Rainbow Dash looked at Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie hugging and quietly grumbled. "H-hey Fluttershy...let's go now.." She took Fluttershy's hand, holding her rainbow cupcake in the other.

"Alright Dash. Thank you Pinkie!" She held the cupcake carefully as they walked out of the shop.

"No problem!!!" She yelled back.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash sat down on the couch in the cottage, happily munching their cupcakes.

"Mm! This is delicious!" Rainbow Dash said in between mouthfuls. Fluttershy giggled and finished her cupcake slowly.

"Yeah. It is." She wiped her mouth with a napkin and dropped her cupcake wrapper in the bin. She looked over at Rainbow Dash and smiled. Rainbow Dash smiled back and put her wrapper in the bin as well. "So...now what?" Fluttershy said softly.

"Hmm..." Dash looked outside the window. Unfortunately it started to rain as they got inside the cottage. "Well...it's raining right now..so I guess I could walk home." Dash said breezily.

"Oh! If it's raining then you can stay."

"No, no..it's alright."

"Rainbow, I insist," Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash steadily. "it's better if you stay dry than wet."

Rainbow shrugged, "Alright. I'll stay."

"Yay." Fluttershy gave Rainbow a little hug. The athletic female blushed lightly.

"Hehe." She chuckled and patted Fluttershy's back.
