Every day I find another reason, every season we go through, and every little thing you do, that's when I love you. [Fluttershy x Rainbow Dash]

Falling in love means you’re willing to put somepony else’s needs before your own. Flying is freedom with no restrictions. Falling in love requires finding common ground. Flying involves going anywhere you want, whenever you want. Falling in love sometimes means you have to stay in one place, for the sake of the pony who stole your heart. Flying is never-ending, for as long as you want.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have already figured all of this out.

The Differences Between Falling in Love & Flying

by The Princess Rarity

PROLOGUE

One year can change everything. Twelve months. Fifty-two weeks. Three hundred and sixty five days. Eight thousand seven hundred and sixty five hours. Et cetera, et cetera. It’s a long time, which means a long time for everything to turn around quicker than one might think. Funny how such a lengthy period of time can fly by so quickly.

With every year comes four seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter.

None of these seasons are the same, and neither are the days during them.

Things live and prosper, then die and fade away, displaying the timeline of how life works. In simply one minute, the world could change. But one year -- which can equal to five hundred twenty five thousand nine hundred and forty nine minutes -- is so much longer.

Spring: love will bloom.

Summer: love will prosper.

Autumn: love will burst into a flame.

Winter: love will freeze.

And so, the cycle repeats itself…

...but how did it begin in the first place?
