Braveheart: The Untold Stories Episode 7: Go On, Do It!
I walked into Ponyville after witnessing Trixie's pathetic show. Rainbow Dash flew overhead, doing her job of clearing the sky. I flew up to her.
“Hey, Braveheart,” Rainbow Dash said. “How've you been?”
“I've been alright,” I said. “Want to get the Mane 6 and the CMC together?”
“What for?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Just to spend some time together,” I replied.
“All right,” Rainbow Dash agreed. “Where at?”
“How about Rainbow Falls?” I suggested.
“Perfect,” Rainbow Dash said. “I'll get Scootaloo and tell everypony else.”
“I'll meet you there,” I said. Rainbow Dash and I flew off in separate directions. I flew to Rainbow Falls, and waited for the rest of the group. In about an hour, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Twilight, and Fluttershy landed near where I was, and Twilight's balloon landed with Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom inside. They stepped out of the balloon and onto the grass.
“Glad you all could make it,” I said.
“Course we could, Braveheart,” Applejack said. “Anythin' fer a friend.”
“I brought a book to help pass time,” Twilight said.
“Figures,” Rainbow Dash grumbled.
“It's called 1001 Truth or Dare Questions,” Twilight told us.
“I love that game!” Pinkie cried, hopping up and down. “It's so much fun!”
“Ah suppose so,” Applebloom said. “Nothin' else ta do 'round here.” Scootaloo groaned.
“This is a boring game,” she said.
“Don't you believe it,” Sweetie Belle corrected. “It can get pretty crazy sometimes.”
“Oh, all right,” Scootaloo reluctantly agreed.
“Ooh, goody!” Twilight squealed. “Everypony gather around, and we'll start.”
“Well, OK,” I said. Everypony sat in a circle, and Twilight opened the first page.
“I can go first, if that's OK with you,” Fluttershy quietly said.
“Go ahead, Sugarcube,” Applejack said. “Ask somepony here if they want ta pick a truth or a dare.”
“Um, OK,” Fluttershy whispered. “Braveheart, truth or dare?”
“Truth, I suppose,” I said.
“OK,” Fluttershy said. Twilight gave her the book. “Have you ever kissed a mare?” Fluttershy asked.
“No,” I answered quickly. Then I took my turn. Fluttershy slid the book to me. “Rainbow Dash, truth or dare?” I asked.
“Dare, obviously,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Very well,” I said, my eyes narrowing and an evil grin spreading over my face. “I dare you to choose somepony's back to sit on for the next 2 turns.” Rainbow Dash gave a look of awkward confusion.
“All right,” she said. “I choose Twilight.” Rainbow Dash flew over to Twilight and sat down on her back. I slid the book to Rainbow Dash.
“Applejack, truth or dare?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Truth,” Applejack firmly said.
“What is on your mind right now?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“That you look hilarious on Twilight's back,” Applejack said, stiffling a laugh. Everypony else except for Rainbow held back laughs as well. With a growl, Rainbow Dash gave Applejack the book.
“Scootaloo, truth 'r dare?” Applejack asked.
“Dare,” Scootaloo said.
“Don't speak until yer next turn,” Applejack said. Scootaloo frowned and stayed quiet. Rainbow Dash quickly got off of Twilight's back and returned to her place. Scootaloo pointed at Sweetie Belle.
“Truth,” Sweetie Belle said. Scootaloo held up the book and pointed to the truth, which read, “Have you ever had a crush on anyone here?”
“Absolutely not,” Sweetie Belle said. She took her turn. “Rarity, truth or dare?”
“Truth,” Rarity said.
“What's the longest you've gone without bathing?” Sweetie Belle asked. Rarity was offended.
“How dare you ask such a thing!” she gasped.
“It's what the book says, sis,” Sweetie Belle shrugged.
“No more than 5 hours,” Rarity said.
“You bathe three times a day?” I asked.
“I have to,” Rarity said. “I have to keep my complexion looking its best.” Rarity took the book.
“Applebloom, truth or dare?” she asked.
“Dare,” Applebloom said.
“Use a foreign language for three turns,” Rarity said.
“Molto bene,” Applebloom said in Italian. She took her turn. “Fluttershy, obbligo o verità?”
“Dare, I guess,” Fluttershy said.
“Stare sulla testa per il turno successivo,” Applebloom said. “Se potete.” Fluttershy seemed confused.
“Let me see the book,” I said. Applebloom handed me the book. “It says stand on your head for the next turn,” I said.
“That's not fair,” Sweetie Belle said. “She's a Pegasus. That makes it easy.”
“I didn't make the book,” Twilight said. We kept naming truths and dares for the next half hour, until Rainbow Dash asked me a dare.
“I dare you to go somewhere private, and have sex with Fluttershy,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Hell no!” I cried.
“Absolutely not,” Fluttershy assertively said.
“Why not?” Rainbow Dash smugly said. “Scared?” I barred my teeth and quietly growled. I walked off with Fluttershy.
“The nerve,” I hissed under my breath. “Stupid book and its dares.” Even Fluttershy was angry.
“Why did she say to do it with me?” she grumbled. “She could have said to do it with her.” We flew off toward my house. I opened my door, stepped inside with Fluttershy, then shut and locked the door. Fluttershy and I closed every window and curtain in the house. When that had been done, we walked into the living room and sat on the couch, not willing to fulfill the dare. We started getting into conversation.
“So how's taking care of the animals been?” I asked.
“It's been fine,” Fluttershy said. “Angel has still been acting out.”
“Go figure,” I said. We went silent again, then Fluttershy spoke up.
“Have you ever done 'it' with a mare?” she asked.
“No,” I said. “Never had a reason to.” Fluttershy moved closer to me and touched my living hoof.
“Well, here's a reason right here,” she whispered. She pulled my head in close and kissed me square on the lips. I went from surprised to just letting it happen. Fluttershy and I kissed away, almost forgetting that this was a dare.

I flew back to Rainbow Falls with Fluttershy, having finished the dare. Rainbow Dash noticed.
“So,” she said. “How was it? Did you actually do it?”
“Yeah,” I said. Fluttershy sat down in her spot, and so did I.
“Ah suppose Ah better git back ta the farm,” Applejack said. “Applebloom and Ah've got work ta do.”
“Myself as well,” Rarity said.
“All right then,” Rainbow Dash said. The group either flew off or got into the balloon. When they were out of sight, Fluttershy and I were the only ones at the falls.
“Well, I'll see you later,” I said.
“You too,” Fluttershy said. But before she flew off, she kissed me on the cheek. I smiled and took off for home. I felt that maybe Rainbow Dash's dare wasn't that bad. Maybe it was just what I needed to loosen up a bit. I went to sleep, tired from the day I had.
