Rainbow Dash x Fluttershy (RainbowShy/FlutterDash)
Rainbow Dash x Fluttershy (RainbowShy/FlutterDash)
It had been a long tiring day for poor Fluttershy, who had spent her hours out in the sun since seven o'clock in the morning till the present time, eight o'clock at night. This was after she had promised AppleJack to help in the farm, spent a whole hour on shopping for her animals lunch that she missed her own fueling meal of the day, passed by Pinkie Pie who was having trouble cleaning the mess she had made in the Cake's kitchen, offered to help Rarity gather jewels for her new dress, and just so happened to run into Twilight Sparkle and Spike cleaning books up in the library. She hadn't had a moment's rest since her sleep last night. Oh, and she just so happened to remember she was woken up at midnight due to someone having a bit of fun with an early hail season.
Fluttershy had never been so cranky in her life. Her roof was dented by the pounding off the hard ice falling down over her head and she opened up the window to see who was causing all the messed up weather. Now, Fluttershy was an understanding person. She would've understood if the Pegasus's machine had gone out of control, or if Discord was accidently creating chaos above her house. What she would not tolerate, was that the one Pegasus pony who she had trusted since she was a young filly was letting hailstones fall onto her shelter for fun. For fun .
So, it ended with Fluttershy screaming at the blue winged pony and slamming the window shut. When the sound dissapeared from her hearing, she flew up on the roof and proceeded in the next two hours to fix it, only to have three hours of sleep when she was woken up at again at five, and just decided to begin the day.
Now, as she trundled up the stairs into her quaint little cottage, Fluttershy just wanted to flop down on her bed and fall into a sleep she would not be awakened from for a least twelve hours straight, and worry about her other problems later. But since she doubted that would ever happen, she knew there was someone she had to have a talk with first, a bit calmer then before.
Rainbow Dash was enjoying her little nap when she swear she heard the quiet voice through her fluffy cloud bed. She rubbed her eyes and peered over, looking down at the one who had awoken her.
"What is it, Fluttershy? Can't you see I'm trying to catch up on sleep, espicially after last night?" She said in a rather annoyed tone.
"Oh, sorry..." Fluttershy apoligised, "I'll just come back-I mean, uh, you? Trying to catch up on sleep? Maybe it should be ME catching up on sleep, after all it was your fault!"
"After YOU yelled at me, I couldn't stop thinking until it was time to go to school," Rainbow Dash replied as she stared up at the clear blue sky.
"And who's fault was it that I yelled? I didn't tell you to rain hailstones down on my roof," Fluttershy said sharply.
Rainbow Dash peered back over again, "Come on now, you can't STILL be mad at that."
"Maybe I'm not. I just came here to ask poli-I mean, tell you not to do it again, at least please for the next twelve hours."
"Fine," Rainbow Dash flew down to the ground infront of her, "on one condition."
Fluttershy stayed silent for a few seconds, before saying, "And what might that be?"
"You be my personal maid." She said, and Fluttershy was so close to disagreeing, but she took a deep breath.
"Okay, I will."
Rainbow Dash lit up. "Great, see you at my house after your twelve hour sleep. Don't be late. If you're early, I'll pay you extra."
Fluttershy nodded. "Of course, I must still take care of my animals."
"Eh, bring them for all I care. However, you must do exactly as I say." Rainbow Dash said and Fluttershy nodded again.
~12 hours later....~
Fluttershy flew up to her friends door and knocked lightly, waiting for a reply. She waited at the side for a bit, until the door opened and Rainbow Dash was there to greet her.
"Come in, Fluttershy, you're just on time. There's plently for you to do." Fluttershy just nodded and followed her in, before she was given a few instructions.
"First, I want you to clean up the kitchen for me, the Cutie Mark Crusaders used it for 'Baking' the other day. Then of course, the hallway down that way could use a bit of a new look, so do whatever you want with it. Just make it look, well, cool. Oh and while your at it, I need you to watch after Tank." Fluttershy nodded and smiled, "Of course."
"Good. I have to go now and help the others with a few things down at Ponyville. If you finish all the chores before I come back, there'll be a little surprise waiting for you." Fluttershy nodded for the millionth time and watched as Rainbow Dash shot out of her house and she broke into thoughts. What was this 'surprise' she was talking about it? Whatever it was, Fluttershy was eager to find out.
She got to work on the kitchen, clearing the bench and the floor of the utensils, mopping, wiping it down, doing the dishes and putting them away. Before walking towards the hallway, Fluttershy made sure to give the animals a small snack, including Tank. After that, she stared at the broken down wall, before an idea popped into her head and she flew towards the garage, grabbing pots of yellow, blue and black paint. She normally thought she wasn't good at painting, but it wasn't true. Covering the wall with a dark sky, blue clouds and yellow lighting bolts, she hoped it was enough to fill Rainbow Dash's cool factor. She peered up at the clock and already 3 hours had passed. She could be back any minute. She shot downstairs and placed the cans back in the garage before zooming back up to the living room, with five minutes to spare.
When Rainbow Dash entered, she was surprised that anyone could ever work so hard on this. The kitchen looked like it had just been bought yesterday, and the wall looked like Fluttershy had hired some famous painter from Manehatten or somewhere else to do the job. She grinned, quite happy with the result. Tank, her pet turtle, seemed quite sastified as well, enjoying his nice crunchy lettuce leaf.
"Apologies if you don't like the painting." Fluttershy said softly.
"Fluttershy, you've more than one hundred percent earned your reward." Rainbow Dash smiled and walked towards her, leaving a small kiss on her forehead. Fluttershy blushed from head to toe and zipped around.
T-That was...embarrassing...but, even so, I liked it...I could so get used to this...
Rainbow Dash let out a laugh that only made her blush more.
"Oh you." She said and grinned happily.

Spikealoo (Spike x Scootaloo, Request)
Spikealoo (Spike x Scootaloo, Request)
“Spike!” Twilight called out as she rushed into the library, starting to shuffle through the shelves.
“Spike!” She tried again, but there was still no reply. She stopped looking and dropped all the books on the ground as she released her magic, running up the stairs.
“Spike?” Twilight questioned and moved her eyes around the room, before sighing.
“We really need to revisit the amount of times you get off.”
Late at night, Spike trundled back to the library, tired but still happy. He didn’t exactly like been caught up in such a boring session, but he got his benefits from it too. One of them was a break from working for Twilight, even if he had to stay up for five hours past his bed time to try and encourage a young filly to fly when he couldn’t even fly himself. Heck, he didn’t even have wings! But he’d read through every single book about flying since Twilight started to learn so many times that he managed to give plenty of good pointers, stuff about wing span, flapping and soaring. And steering. You wouldn’t even guess how many times the Pegasus flew into a tree in her attempts. He sighed happily. That was fun.
He was barely even half way up the stairs when he was knocked back down by Twilight.
“Woah!” He placed his hand on the ground and pushed himself up, “What gives Twilight?”
“What gives? What gives? That YOU were gone when I most needed you!” Twilight stated immediately.
“I’m not allowed to have time off?” Spike questioned and tried to head up the stairs again, Twilight following close behind.
“Yes, but five hours isn’t really acceptable!”
“Sorry, she wouldn’t let me go…” He sighed happily again, smiling, leaning up against the window.
“She? You weren’t hanging out with Rarity, were you?” Twilight asked, coming to conclusions.
“Nup. I was just trying to teach a young filly how to fly…” He turned away from the window and walked towards his bed. Once again, it didn’t take long for Twilight to come to, well, re-conclusions.
“You were hanging out with Scootaloo? I’m surprised she actually wanted to hang out with you. But for five hours?”
“Yeah, she was persistent. Anyway, can we stop with the questions now? It’s late and I’m tired…” Spike placed the blanket over him and lay to the side, closing his eyes with a smile.
Twilight stayed quiet, thinking to herself about this situation. He didn’t…
~Five hours ago~
Scootaloo pushed her wings to lift her up off the ground, struggling to stretch them out and fly, but to no avail. She fell back down on her rump and sighed.
“I’m never gonna make it…”
“Sure you will! It just takes practice! That’s what I said to Twilight. Look, kid, you can do it. And I really want to help, because you can do something I can’t. You just have to try your hardest, and if you can’t think of anyone else to do it for, you can do it for me.” Spike said, smiling. “We’re friends right? Now, according to the book, you need to loosen up a bit. Just relax and let your wings do the job. Flying may seem hard, but it’s because you’re trying too hard. You don’t need to push yourself, you just need to believe. Let’s see it now.”
Scootaloo nodded and closed her eyes, trying to think of as many calming, non-stressful thoughts as she could, mainly involving her friends, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. She focused on all of the times they tried to gain their Cutie Marks, all the fun they had, all the adventured they went through. During this period of thinking, Spike watched as she rose into the air and he smiled, folding his arms and nodding.
I knew it would work, he thought. He decided not to startle her, as it may cause her to fall again. He waited till she opened her own eyes, and looked down at the ground.
Scootaloo’s mouth formed into a wide grin and she looked forward, flapping her wings up in down with the wind in a way she never had before.
“I’m…I’m flying! I’m flying!” She shot up in the air, and back down to the ground, grabbing Spike and placing him on her back before flying off, above the trees, above the clouds. It felt so good to finally be up in the air. She flew over her familiar friends who seemed just as excited as she was.
“Scoots! You’re flying!” Rainbow Dash called and flew up to join her. The other two members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders called out too,
“She’s really doing it! You’re really doing it!” Apple bloom and Sweetie Belle said together.
“I know right? And it’s all thanks to Spike!” Scootaloo replied happily and slowed down, hovering in the air before landing on the ground. Spike felt a blush rise to his cheeks and he jumped down.
“Hey, look, we’re right infront of the cake store! Let’s go get some!” Scootaloo raced inside and Spike followed after her, “Hey, wait!”
Inside, the two sat across a double seated table with their cake and icecream, eating quietly. Scootaloo’s emotions seemed to be excited but Spike was having different thoughts. He was starting to find Scootaloo…well, attractive. While his heart wasn’t thumping as it did with Rarity, he still knew that he had gained another love interest, he could feel in his stomach, not in his chest. Or maybe he was just hungry. He took another bite and looked over at Scootaloo again, who was already finished. Spike sighed and placed down his fork.
Scootaloo swallowed her last bite and looked over at the half eaten piece of cake infront of him.
“Are you gonna eat that?” She asked and Spike replied with a simple shake of his head. Scootaloo grinned and pulled the plate toward her and stuck her fork in; she was about to take the bite when she noticed Spike’s sad expression.
“Is something wrong? You look a little down.” Spike snapped up and shook his head.
“Oh, it’s nothing, I mean, uh…Scootaloo?”
“Yes?” Scootaloo asked and placed the fork on the plate.
“If I, um…told you I really liked you…what would you say?” Spike asked, nervous. Scootaloo seemed to not be affected by this small confession at the moment.
“Well…I’d probably say my feelings back…But of course, that can’t be true, right? I mean who would really like an orange passion juice pony such as myself?”
“Me.” Spike replied, knotting his claws together.
“I do, Scootaloo, really.”
Scootaloo blushed lightly, and nodded.
“In that case…I really like you too.”
Spike replied with a smile. “Okay.”
“Okay.” Scootaloo said, then thought.
“Hey, you wanna come back to my place? We can stay up late and watch movies.”
“Sure!” Spike said happily and jumped down. He climbed back up on Scootaloo’s back and together they flew off to her place.
~Scoot’s place~
Scootaloo pulled open her huge draw of DVD collections.
“Okay, so I have a lot of Disney…and more Disney and a little bit of Non-Disney….what should it be?”
Spike laughed, “I suppose Disney then.”
“Sweet! In that case, we should watch Sleeping Pony. It’s my favourite!” Scootaloo pulled out the DVD and placed the disc in the player, sitting back on the couch as it started to play. Spike quickly turned off the lights and ran back to the seat, where they both stared forward at the screen.
Spike seemed to be enjoying the movie at the start. He was very interested in the princess Aurora, and was curious about the deep sleep. What he really didn’t like was the end. He knew at the start that the villain was a lady, but he was very annoyed when she changed into a dragon.
His kind.
Okay, he was a small cute dragon and that was a giant fire breathing dragon but it was still a dragon. It was still really a part of his family being killed off, evil old lady or not. He thought about what that would happen to him. What if people started hating him? What if he turned out like that?
“Are you alright?”
Spike jumped up at the sound of Scootaloo’s voice, clearly alarmed.
“Oh, just fine! The movie was great! Um, why don’t we watch something without, uh, dragons this time?”
Scootaloo realised what he was talking about, “Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s fine, you didn’t know. But I never want to watch that movie again.”
Scootaloo nodded, but didn’t move from her spot. She didn’t want to watch any more movies anymore.
Spike jumped off the couch. “In that case, maybe I should pick o-” Spike was interrupted when he felt the wetness of the kiss on his cheek and he turned back to Scootaloo, who was bright pink.
“I’m sorry, I-”
“You know what?” Spike said quickly. “I have a much better idea.”
~back to the morning, while Spike is still asleep in his bed~
Twilight closed the book. “So, Pinkie Pie, you better have a birthday party planned for next year. Make it green and orange. Rainbow Dash, prepare to be REALLY shocked. Applejack, prepare a LOT of milk. Rarity, we’re going to need new outfits, the smallest ever. Make both girls and boys. Fluttershy...babysitting. And Twilight, get ready to call the ambulance.”
“What is all this for Twilight?” Rarity asked, confused, as were all the others.
Twilight took a deep breath and turned around.
“Don’t ask me how it’s actually possible, but Scootaloo is pregnant from Spike.”
A loud thud was heard as Rainbow Dash fell onto the ground, completely shocked.
“On second thoughts Twilight, call the ambulance now.”

ScootaBelle (Scootaloo x Sweetie Belle)
“So, you ready for Cutie Mark Crusading Tree Climbing?!” Scootaloo said happily as they raced out of the building when the bell rang. Sweetie Belle nodded happily, but Applebloom replied,
“Sorry girls, ah gotta help my big sis with the apples this afternoon. Big harvest coming up!” She smiled, and the other two nodded, understanding she was busy.
“It’s okay!” Sweetie Belle said, “Maybe you’ll get your Cutie Mark working on the farm!” Applebloom thought about it and smiled happily,
“Yeah! Maybe I will! Well, see ya guys!” She raced off, waving. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo waved back and then turned towards the clubhouse near the forest. They started to head towards it.
“Cutie Mark working on the farm huh?” Scootaloo asked, “Seems likely. Maybe that means mine will be flying like Rainbow Dash!” She strained herself to get off the ground but just ended up falling down.
“But now that I think about it Tree Climbing Cutie Marks might not be so bad.” Scootaloo stood up as Sweetie Belle let out a little laugh. They looked up at the tree house.
“Applebloom did a really good job didn’t she?” Sweetie Belle said and Scootaloo replied with a nod.
“Anyhoo, let’s go find a REALLY tall tree to climb!” Scootaloo exclaimed and raced around all the trees, Sweetie Belle following close behind.
“No, no, no…” She repeated to herself, checking out all the trees around her. She couldn’t find any decent tall ones in this area.
“Scootaloo!” Sweetie Belle called and Scootaloo ran over, seeing her point up.
“How about this one?” Scootaloo looked up and nodded happily, a smile forming on her face.
“Let’s start climbing!” She jumped up and grabbed hold of the first branch, swinging herself up. She held her hoof down and Sweetie Belle grabbed hold, pulling herself up. Scootaloo looked up happily and kept going ahead of Sweetie Belle. As they got higher, the branches got skinnier and weaker, and since Sweetie Belle was behind, the branches were weaker for her after Scootaloo had placed her weight on them. Scootaloo stepped up on the third highest branch and looked above the leaves at the view.
“Woah, this is awesome! Sweetie Belle, you gotta see!” She looked back down at her friend, who was having trouble reaching the top.
“I’m…coming.” She replied and reached her leg up to the next branch. At first, she thought she was safe, but as she pulled herself up, more of her wait pressured the branch and…
*crack*
The branch snapped and Sweetie Bell lost her grip on the branch above which was also too weak to hold her wait. It snapped as well, causing her to fall through the leaves.
“Sweetie Belle!” Scootaloo jumped back down after her friend who was screaming like crazy. She raced as fast as she could and tried to grab her hoof, but she was falling too fast. The ground came closer and Scootaloo gave up on branch hopping and jumped off instead, falling at her speed. Grabbing Sweetie’s hoof finally, she *just* managed to strain her wings enough to hover them above the ground. After a few seconds, Scootaloo stopped flapping and they fell again, but this time the ground is close enough for the fall to be fine. Well, to one of them at least…
Scootaloo hit one of the roots at the bottom of the tree and now, not only were her wings broken, her leg was bent in a very sickly way. She closed her eyes and tried not to think about, but soon tears were pouring down from the pain.
Sweetie Belle looked up and gasped, rushing toward her.
“Scootaloo, are you okay?!” Scootaloo just cried harder.
“That’s a no.” Sweetie Belle carefully helped her injured friend up and to the closest place she could think of: the clubhouse. When they arrived, Sweetie Belle tried to help as much as she could with what they had lying around. She found long strips of bandages and wrapped them around her wings and leg tightly to stop the blood flow. It was all she could do for now, aside from trying to calm Scootaloo down. She looked outside as the sun set. It was too late for them to head back now, especially considering Scootaloo wouldn’t be as fast. She decided that they’d have to stay here for the night.
Scootaloo’s crying calmed down and suddenly she felt tired, her eyes half closed. Sweetie Belle looked over and smiled slightly.
“You should probably sleep.” She said and sat down next to her, softly singing the original version of the lullaby she knew so well.
Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head
Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to go to bed
Drifting off to sleep, exciting day behind you
Drifting off to sleep, let the joy of dream land find you
Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head
Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to go to bed…
Scootaloo fell asleep with a smile on her face despite the pain in her leg. Sweetie Belle let out a yawn and dozed off with her head on the edge of the bed.
…
A bit later throughout their sleep, the two of them gained the marks they’d longed for forever. Sweetie Belle’s was a heart and microphone, representing her singing bringing love and care to everyone who heard it. Scootaloo’s was a purple shooting star heading towards a heart, representing rushing towards danger to protect the ones she loves.

Discord x Celestia (Dislestia, Request)
“No.” Celestia immediately refused and turned back to her book. Discord flew infront of her, turning blue.
“Aww…look at what you’ve done…I’m so sad and blue….Celestia refused my invitation…” He whined. Celestia sighed.
“You know perfectly well why, Dis-cord,” she said, turning to the next page, “don’t you remember what happened last time?” Discord half smiled,
“Ah, those times were the best…” He leaned back and floated in the air.
“But this time I will say it and mean it: I will not do anything of the sort. This will just be a simple, normal, pony tea party with the most adorable pony.” Discord flirted and clicked his fingers, placing a blush on Celestia’s cheeks. She wasn’t impressed, as she wasn’t feeling that way, at least on the outside. On the inside, she was wondering if he really thought that way. That would be…
Celestia shook the thoughts away and cleared her throat,
“Alright, fine. I will give you one last chance. But any funny business and you can guarantee I will never speak to you again.”
“Deal,” Discord said and removed the blush, “I will see you tomorrow afternoon at 5:00.” He then turned and raced off towards his home.
Celestia placed her book in her bag as she neared the entrance of his house. She was surprised to see it looked perfectly normal. Actually, she was more of surprised it was on the ground. She trotted up and knocked on the door, which opened by itself. She looked forward to see Discord sitting on a chair at the end of a long table filled of snacks and tea. On one side there was an empty chair.
“Welcome,” Discord said and placed his cup of tea down, “please do have a seat.” He said and Celestia nodded in reply, though she was still a bit wary. This wasn’t like Discord.
“Don’t mind if I do.” She said and sat down. Nothing happened. Now this was odd.
“Would you care for a cup of tea, princess?” Discord picked up the teapot and poured it into the nearest cup without waiting for an answer. But of course Celestia wanted one.
“No sugar please.” She stated, and Discord handed her the cup of tea and she accepted politely, taking a sip. Still, nothing happened. Okay, now she was worried.
“Are you planning something?” Celestia asked immediately and Discord dropped his cup, the tea splashing all over the ground. He picked it up and placed it back down, as good as knew.
“Why of course not,” Discord replied, “I promised I wouldn’t do anything funny, so I’m not going to.” Celestia just blinked. This was what she wanted, right?
The evening continued on, and after a few more minutes of snacking on tea and biscuits, Celestia was starting to feel…bored. Not that it had anything to do with Discord, well…maybe it did. Last time she was here, while she was annoyed, it felt livelier, like she’d had more fun. Now, she just felt she wanted to go home. Nothing was happening. She stood up quickly to excuse herself.
“I just realised I have some homework to catch up on. Excuse me.” Celestia turned towards the door and a smile formed on Discords face. The moment she pushed open to door, a bell rang off and a huge dollop of whipped cream tumbled down and splashed over her. Discord knew she’d probably be angry, but he had to have some fun…wait. Was she laughing? It was true. Celestia couldn’t contain it anymore and let out the liveliest laugh she’d ever produced. She was so worried that he was really going to take her seriously. Turning around, she saw Discord grinning and she returned the grinning, wiping off a bit of whipped cream, she aimed and threw it at him. Discord disappeared and reappeared behind her, where he dumped her with a little bit of sugar and a cherry on top. Celestia just laughed harder and called out,
“No fair!” She threw again and this time she managed slightly because he was infront of her, but he disappeared again and this time sprayed her with water till she was drenched from head to hoof. Well, at least she was clean now. Discord clicked his fingers and brought a towel over to her and dried her mane. He moved it away and then burst into laughter, bringing out a camera.
“That’s something I never want to forget.” Discord snapped a picture and Celestia raised an eyebrow,
“What is it?” She asked and he held up a mirror. She stifled a laugh. Celestia’s mane was stuck up in many different directions and really puffy.
“Well, I was prepared for this.” She pulled a brush out of her bag and brushed it down.
“Anyway, I wasn’t lying, I really do have homework to do. But…if you ever want to have me over again, I’d be glad to. I was a bit too strict last time. Just don’t overdo it.”
“Well…” Discord thought outloud, “Maybe I want to take you out somewhere.”
“Like a date?”
“Like a date.”
“Well then,” Celestia started, “I shall give you a chance then. In that case, I’ll be waiting.” She smiled and turned towards the door, the smile not leaving her face until she sat down for her homework.
Which really wasn’t as fun.
