Those Beautiful Eyes

“Wow Rainbow Dash you're so cool!” Scootaloo exclaimed.

“yeah I know, you're not too bad yourself twerp.” Dash replied.

Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash have been spending a lot of time together, they could call each other a best friend and not feel guilty about having a biased opinion or something stupid like that. Dash had been noticing Scootaloo had been a bit down lately so she tried hard as she could to make the other Pegasus happy.

“No You're wrong Rainbow Dash...I'm not cool at all...” Scootaloo said lowly.

“What are ya talking about of course you're cool!” Dash retorted. Scootaloo snorted and sat down.

“No I'm not...Yesterday was my birthday, I'm a fully grown Mare now...and I just now learned how to fly how I should have been able to fly when I was a little filly!” the orange-brown Mare exclaimed. Dash's face softened as she sat next to the Pegasus.

“You know Scoots...just because you couldn't fly well until now doesn't mean anything.” Dash started. “Everypony has their flaws. You were born with under developed wings, that was out of your control and you still fixed it. That's really cool, most ponies just accept or ignore what they can't control...I'm a pretty good example of that.” she continued, the last part a bit sadly.

“You say that...I want to believe you but...but I can't say that I'm cool at all without feeling like I'm lying...” Scootaloo said solemnly.

“Who cares? Anypony can call themselves cool. I think you're the coolest pony I know, and praise only truly matters when it comes from others!” Dash exclaimed.

“Twilight scolded you with that one didn't she...” Scootaloo said with a smirk. Dash, who had looked proud of herself with an over dramatic pose, flopped backwards onto the cloud they were sitting on.

“Yeah...you could tell that easily?” Dash said, looking at the Mare that joined her and plopped down onto her back as well.

“Well Duh, it sounded too smart for you.” Scootaloo said with a sly grin.

“Yeah..you're rig- HEY! Did you call me dumb?!” Dash exclaimed, sitting up and looking at Scootaloo, who was rolling around laughing.

“Ah...sorry Dash...I had to.” Scootaloo said. “Just a joke.” she continued. Dash calmed down and plopped back down.

“Eh Trust me Scoots...you're a strong Mare, and now you're a strong Pegasus...with all the crap life throws at everypony, that's an achievement to be dubbed as 'Awesome'...” Dash said, switching back to the previous and more serious topic.

“Thanks...that means more than you ever could know coming from you...” Scootaloo said, rolling over and hugging Dash. Dash hugged her back.

“And why is that?” Dash asked innocently.

“Well...after we all got our cutie marks, Applebloom went to Appleoosa to learn all she could about apple farming and now she owns her own Orchard there...Sweetie Belle owns a Carousel Boutique in Canterlot now too...Everypony else just aren't that special to me...except you Rainbow Dash...I was your number one fan, remember?” Scootaloo explained.

'Whoa, this is getting pretty heavy' Dash thought, but she didn't mind. These late night conversations with Scootaloo tended to get heavy when the Pegasus got thinking.

“Yeah I remember...hey wait, Was?!” Dash asked, feigning an offended pout.

“I'm not just a mindless fan filly now Dash. You're still awesome and the pony that's the most special to me...but it's not an infatuation anymore...” Scootaloo said.

“Whoa quit with all of those big words...but I get what you're saying. Now we're really best friends.” Dash said. Scootaloo nodded.

“Y'know...I'm starting to really like these nice long talks we have at night...I don't have to keep up appearances with you.” Dash said, leaning back and closing her eyes.

“Yeah me too...it seems every time we have them it starts with something wrong with me though...” Scootaloo said.

“Ah quiet you...I enjoy helpin' you out like this...makes me feel real good inside.” Dash retorted. They both suddenly yawned wide. Dash was snoring lightly in seconds.

“If only you could help me with my biggest problem Dash...” Scootaloo said to herself as she looked at the Dozing Pegasus besides her. “I wish I could get the courage to tell you how much I love those beautiful eyes...how much I love you...” she continued lightly. She kissed the sleeping Mare on the cheek and took off to go to her own tiny cloud home.
