Scootaloo and Rumble spend the day together.

Rumble has always had his eyes set out for Scootaloo, but he never had the guts to tell anypony. Not even Thunderlane, his brother. However, Scootaloo almost runs into him on her scooter one special day, and that's when the feeling of love begins.

My first shot at a shippingfic or whatever you wanna call it, and an attempt at a story with no dialogue. :)

Also, this is a story with 1,000 words! I never thought could do that.

Author's Note

Just something easy and cute I decided to write. Tell me what you think.

And yes, it is mentioned that characters say stuff at times, but what I mean by no dialogue is that nothing is in quotes.

It was a seemingly normal Saturday. Birds chirped in trees, the shouts of joyful fillies filled the air, and the fresh smell of blooming spring flowers filled Rumble's nostrils.

Unlike most colts, Rumble enjoyed the simplicity of taking a walk and admiring flowers of bright colors of the rainbow. He was not like most colts, but he did not care. He was shy, but other than that, he was taught well by Thunderlane, his older brother, on how to just ignore bullies' teases.

Rumble was unlike most male foals; he strangely had a body build of that of a female filly, with the only way setting him apart was his lack of eyelashes. He wasn't the only one, actually, but he was a rarity.

Thunderlane always trusted Rumble walking on his own. Rumble just wasn't the disrespectful kid whom almost always broke rules just because their parents or siblings weren't watching him.

Scootaloo all of a sudden sped by on her scooter. Wind rushed as this happen. Rumble kept looking. How he so much wanted to ride with this filly; to maybe even try to ride the scooter himself. He felt he was clumsy, though.

He had always had a sinking feeling for Scootaloo, which was never brought up. He felt that if the secret went out, nopony would let the end of it be heard. What if him and Scootaloo would be a laughing stock for the rest of their waking lives? Though, the most difficult part of this crush on Scootaloo was telling Scootaloo herself. Rumble thought heavily if he should admit to Scootaloo face to face.

Rumble then decided it was now or never, so he took off in the direction Scootaloo had gone a few minutes before. He kept running with his small wings flapping. To his shock, he felt himself lift off the ground and go a little faster when that happened. He flew dow the road.

Finally, after ten minutes of flying, Rumble's wings were beat. He dropped to the ground and wished that Thunderlane had seen that. He didn't find Scootaloo. He looked around at the different flower types, when a yell in the distance rang out. He looked up just in time to see Scootaloo on her out of control scooter speeding towards him. Right before Scootaloo was about to run into him, he jumped off the ground and let his wings hold him up.

He fell down, his wings throbbing. Scootaloo had wrecked in the grass nearby. Luckily, she wasn't too hurt. She got up and stood her scooter up. She went to check on Rumble. Rumble saw her face; her beautiful face, like an angel. Her grayish lavender eyes sparkled like an ocean on a sunny day.

Rumble's face felt like it was on fire; it looked like it was on fire. Scootaloo noticed, and asked Rumble if he was okay. Rumble assured that he was fine, just a little nervous. This didn't completely answer Scootaloo's question, though. How was Rumble really supposed to answer?

Scootaloo held Rumble's hoof and told him that she wouldn't tell anypony about what was bothering him. Rumble then said it; he faced Scootaloo, and said that he loved her. Scootaloo was so stunned. She couldn't believe it. Her face turned neon red and sweat beaded on it. Then Rumble requested a ride on that scooter of Scootaloo's, to which she giggled and agreed.

Rumble had fallen down several times while practicing on Scootaloo's scooter. Scootaloo rooted for him, anyway. At last, Rumble came back to Scootaloo and asked her to show him some of her stunts. Scootaloo was able to do a figure eight easily. Rumble was really impressed. He couldn't believe many pegasus fillies teased her for lacking the ability to fly well. They never watched her out of school.

Scootaloo and Rumble took turns on the scooter. Rumble managed to ride down the street and back successfully. Despite her inability to fly, Scootaloo still used her wings as an advantage, and did they let her be cool! Rumble was able to fly, but he decided to stay on the ground more often to hang out with Scootaloo. Thunderlane began to grow suspicious at Rumble always wanting to leave the house.

Rumble and Scootaloo were just chilling when Thunderlane came up and asked what was going on. Rumble admitted that he loved Scootaloo, and Thunderlane took it very well. He promised not to tell anypony, and then her flew off. Scootaloo liked Thunderlane there. Scootaloo and Rumble then sat at the edge of a slope leading down to a lake. The water glittered in the evening sun, but not as angelic as Scootaloo's eyes.

Then, Rumble did it; he grabbed Scootaloo and kissed her. Scootaloo's face went blank for about ten seconds, then she squealed with delight. She returned the favor for Rumble. After a while it began to grow dark. Luna's brilliant moon seemed to shine brighter than usual tonight.

A shooting star flew across the sky. Rumble pointed up at the star. Scootaloo made a wish, a wish to forever be with this colt. This colt did not harass her for being a poor flier. Even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon teased her, and they were Earth ponies, so why would they even care?

Rumble said that he flew to find Scootaloo, and it hurt a little. Scootaloo complimented Rumble's strength. Luna's night stars twinkled up above, as if Luna was winking at the two fillies. She always loved it when anypony loved her night. Scootaloo offered Rumble to be a Cutie Mark Crusader, to which Rumble agreed.

It was a while before both fillies grew sleepy. Scootaloo promised Rumble that she would see him tomorrow, and Rumble promised the same. Nothing could go wrong between the two. They had so many ways of relating to each other.
