A Flutter with a Dash

Fluttershy slumped at her door, her pink mane falling everywhere. Angel bunny was soon at her side, searching for the carrots in his owner’s saddle bag.

      “Why did I say that?” Fluttershy muttered. ”No, why didn’t I say that? I must have sounded so stupid.”

      She stood up, shook her saddle bag off, and walked towards her couch. Recalling the previous scene outside her cottage, with a certain blue, rainbow maned pegasus.

      “’Sorry Rainbow Dash, but I have to brush my sofa?’ That’s the most ridiculous excuse since ‘look there’s a moose!’”

She flipped onto her back and stared at the ceiling.

“Then again, why am I avoiding her? She’s so caring, and protective, kind of ru-“

She stuffed her hoof in her mouth before she could finish the word. Angel bunny, successfully finding his carrot, jumped up next to Fluttershy to listen some more.

"I just feel so nervous and light headed, like if I move I’ll fall to my doom, but only around her! What do you think Angel?"

      Angel bunny shrugged as if to say ‘Maybe she stank.’

      “Angel, don’t be rude. Either way it’s bedtime. Maybe now I can relax my head But there has to be somepony who can help, but also somepony who, can keep secrets. I’ll think about it in the morning.”

      Rainbow Dash’s eyes were still open, staring at Fluttershy’s cottage.

      “This just became number one most awkward flight I have ever had.”

Her face fell into the soft cloud she was sitting on.

“’Hey Fluttershy, maybe tomorrow you could go blah blah um, come watch Wonderbolt training?’ Who says ‘blah’ in an invite?”

She flipped onto her side.

“But whenever I’m around her, I feel like when Discord took my wings! I can’t fly, I’m grounded. But she’s so innocent and sweet, and be-"

“She slapped herself in the face before she finished.

"Maybe I should go home and sleep, maybe I could get some honest advice from somepony.”

      Fluttershy trotted towards the Sugar Cube Corner, keeping her face down in case Rainbow Dash flew by.

She had decided to see Pinkie Pie, as she was very serious when it came to Pinkie Promises.

Little did she know, the very pony she was hiding from was just across the street from her.

      The blue pegasus had made her decision, she would ask Apple Jack, and at least she could give an honest answer.

      The two ponies where mixing in their thoughts when the oh so cheesily bumped into each other.

      “Oh, I’m sorry, R-rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy mumbled, hiding behind her mane.

      “I-it’s cool, no worries, heh.” Rainbow Dash nervously rubbed the back of her mane, her eyes darting away, looking for a blind-spot where she couldn’t see her.

“Great, the onepony I wanted to avoid.” She thought.

      “Just heading to Apple Jacks for uh, trainning.” She laughed. “How about you?”

      “Uh, I’m g-going to help Pinkie t-to, um, make cupcakes.”

      “Cool. See you around then.”

      “Sure.”

The two turned their heads and walked away. And at the exact same moment, they thought the same thing.

”That was close.”
