Oh Fluttershy

It was in the middle of the night when the song "Pocket Full of Sunshine" started blasting through Fluttershy's room. Patting around the bed and nightstand, she finally was able find her phone.

"Hello?" Fluttershy whispered sleepily

"Fluttershy! Guess who just called!" Rarity's voice screeched through the phone.

"Ummm Princess Luna?"

"No silly. Even better. Sapphire Shores! She wants me to go to Manehattan to go see a fashion show this weekend. She's going to pay for everything! The plane ticket, the hotel, my meals, and any materials I need if anything inspired me. She said that I have potential and the fashion world is over-looking my greatness."

"That's awesome babe. I know you're excited and all but did you really need to call me at 2 in the morning to tell me?"

"No-Well I mean yes. I need to ask you a favor. I leave tomorrow, or today, whichever way you want to look at it, and I won't be back until Sunday night. The only problem there is is that Sweetie Belle won't have a babysitter for Saturday night and Sunday. Applejack can take her Friday and Saturday day, but she has to go to Appleloosa to visit Braeburn. So, I was wondering if maybe you could care for Sweetie Belle Saturday night and on Sunday."

"Are you sure that I'm the only one that can watch her?"

"You're the only one I trust to handle her, besides Applejack. And if you do this for me I promise to make it worth you're while." Rarity said extremely seductively.

"R-R-Really?"

"Mhmm" Rarity said biting her bottom lip.

"Well okay"

"Splendid. My plane leaves in a couple of hours so I need to get ready to go. Can you come over to the boutique at 3:30 on Saturday?"

"Yea. I suppose"

"I'll miss you, and I promise I'll take a bunch of pictures. I'll see you on Sunday"

"I'll miss you to. Have fun"

'What have I got myself into?'

"Well good luck there, Fluttershy. She sure is a mighty hand full." Applejack whispered to Fluttershy.

"I'll see y'all later" Applejack and Applebloom yelled from their car as they drove off.

Turning around, Fluttershy was greeted by a small figure dressed in an all black ninja outfit. The only things visible were intense light green eyes.

"I challenge you to a duel to the death" Sweetie Belle said dramatically from behind her mask. She got in to a low fighting stands.

"Ummm a-are you sure you don't want to do something else? Like umm go inside and play hide n seek?"

The small ninja continued to glare at Fluttershy, while Fluttershy stood there trembling. The only thing that could be heard was the wind. The two were having a stand off.

"Can I hide first?" Sweetie Belle said hardening her glare.

"Sure! Anything you want!"

As soon as she said that, Sweetie Belle ripped off her mask and gave Fluttershy one of the biggest smiles she's ever seen. It could easily rival Pinkie Pie's.

"You stay here. I'm going to hide somewhere in the house. Make sure you count 20 Mississippi" Sweetie Belle tossed over her shouldered as she made a mad dash to the house.

Closing her eyes, Fluttershy started to count. Once done counting, she jogged into the house, "Ready or not, here I come!" Fluttershy said cupping her hands around her mouth.

Running around the 1st floor of the boutique, she started flipping couch cushions, looking behind drapes, looking up the chimney, and searching in closets.

'Where is she? She wouldn't hide in her room, that's too obvious. The only room left is Rarity's'

Fluttershy ran up the stairs two at a time, as soon as she reach Rarity's room she started to tip toe. She quietly looked behind the curtains, in the closet, and under Rarity's work desk.

"Where is she?"

A soft giggled came from under the bed. At that moment Fluttershy knew where Sweetie Belle's hiding spot was.

'Isn't she too big to fit under there?'

"I wonder where Sweetie Belle is? I can't find her any where?" Fluttershy said extra loudly as she started to walk closer to the bed.

"Is she …UNDER THE BED!" she said as she quickly dropped down to the floor to peer under the bed. A squeal of fear could be heard throughout the whole house.

"Fluttershy! You scared me"

"Oh. I'm sorry Sweetie. Come on out so you can be it"

Fluttershy got off her hands and knees, and brushed off her blouse. Groans and grunts could be heard from under the bed.

"Fluttershy, I think I need your help" Sweetie Belle whimpered.

The pink hair beauty quickly went back down to the floor to help her smaller companion out of her tight situation. She grabbed Sweetie Belle's arm and pulled, but she didn't want to pull too hard, in fear of hurting her.

"Please stop playing around Sweetie Belle"

"I'm not. I'm really stuck!"

"Oh my"

Fluttershy started to panic.

'What am I going to do? I can't call Rarity. She'll never trust me alone with Sweetie Belle ever again…and I wont get my surprise. Come on Fluttershy! Focus! She's too big to get out and the bed frame is to heavy to lift, so we need to get her to become sleek so she can slip out'

"Sweetie Belle does your sister have any kind of body oils?"

"She took them all with her"

'What am I going to do? Oh I know what!'

"Hold on! I'll be right back"

"Trust me. I wont be going any where", Sweetie Belle replied sarcastically.

Fluttershy sprinted down the steps and to the fridge, 'Thank Celestia! She has some'

She grabbed the objects and ran back up the stairs.

"Okay Sweetie, this is going to umm sound weird but I-I want you to smash these around the part of your body that is struck," she handed over three large eggs. "and rub this butter on your body to"

"Are you sure this will work?"

"I hope it does"

The youngster rubbed the butter stick against her hips and smashed the eggs on her lower back the best she could. In a matter of no time, Sweetie Belle was able to ease her way out from under the bed.

"I'm out! I'm out!" Sweetie belle said in a singsong voice Jumping and dancing around, the ten year old leaped into Fluttershy unexpected arms.

"And it's all thanks to you Fluttershy"

"O-oh it was nothing at all"

"I was able to fit under there about 3 months, but I guess I can't anymore"

"Well, you're growing up Sweetie. Your body is going to start to grow dramatically in the next few years"

Looking down at the little girl hugging her hips, she remembered that she was covered in egg yolk and butter that was dripping down her back.

"Sweetie"

"Yea, Shy?"

"Do you think you can go take a bath?"

"But Fluttershy-"

"Pleaseeeee!"

"Fine, but then can I help you make dinner when I'm done?"

Of course! Now hurry along. I need to clean this mess up"

"I'm sorry about the mess that I caused. If it wasn't for me than you wouldn't have this mess to clean up."

Bending down to Sweetie Belle's eye site, Fluttershy told her " If it wasn't for you, my weekend would be spent reading a boring book. I should thanking you for making my afternoon so exciting. The ladies back at the clinic are going to hear all about how much more exciting my weekend was compared to theirs"

'Well except Cindy's. Hers involves alcohol, male strippers, police, and usually an orgy. In that exact order'

Sweetie Belle hugged Fluttershy one last time before she headed to the bathroom to take a bubble bath. Finding the cleaning supplies, Fluttershy got to working cleaning up the yolk and butter. Some how she was able to clean the bottom of the bed. Once done, the young beauty went back down to the kitchen to see what they could prepare for dinner. Looking throughout the kitchen, she came to the conclusion of making mac n cheese and some grill cheese sandwiches. Smiling to herself, Fluttershy called her assistant cook to come down and help. Sweetie belle came down wearing pjs with quotes and picture of Gordon Ramsey, Rachel Ray, and Paula Deen.

'Where does she get clothes like this?'

"Well Sweetie Belle, I'm going to make mac n cheese and you're going to be in charge of making the grill cheese. How does that sound?"

"Awesome, but how do you make a grill cheese?"

Well the first thing you would want to do is spread the butter on one side of both pieces of bread. Once that is done, you need to lay them down in the skillet. Then you put cheese on the bread. Once you think the cheese looked melted enough, you have to put the two pieces of bread together. If you want your sandwich to extra toasty, make sure to leave in on a little bit longer."

"Okay I think I get it"

"If you have any questions, just ask"

"Kay"

Within 15 minutes both girls were eating brunt grill cheeses and mac n cheese with fruit punch.

"I'm sorry about the sandwich"

"It was your first time, Sweetie Belle. Stop beating yourself up over it. See." Fluttershy grabbed her brunt grill cheese and took a huge bite. "I like it"

'OH SWEET CLESTIA! IT LIKES I'M EATING BURNT CARBOARD!'

"It's okay Fluttershy. I'm just happy you let me help with dinner. Rarity never lets me help. She sends me to my room until its done"

"That's not fair. I'll make sure to have a word with her when she gets back. She should be teaching you how to cook."

"You'd do that for me?"

"Of course" Fluttershy said smiling while she nudged Sweetie's shoulder.

The two spent the rest of dinner talking about school, animals, and Sweetie Belle search to find her true talent. After dinner they spent the rest of the night singing karaoke in the living room. Sweetie Belle sang songs by Adele, Christina Aguilera, and Florence + The Machine, while Fluttershy sang songs but Christina Perri, Taylor Swift, and Maroon 5.

"Sweetie, it's passed 10. You need to go to sleep. Come on. I'll tuck you in"

"Come on Shy! One more song"

"We-well okay just one more"

That one song turned into 8 more. One of the few songs that were sung by the cutie mark crusader was "Video Games" by Lana Del Ray. Fluttershy sang a song by Keane called "Somewhere Only We Know". They ended with the song "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye.

"Okay Sweetie Belle, now you really need to get to bed"

"Alright" the 4-foot singing prodigy said with a raspy voice.

They both trotted up the stairs, brushed their teeth, and Fluttershy watched as Sweetie Belle crawled into the small twin size bed. Tucking her into bed she gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Thanks for taking care of me"

"It's no problem what so ever"

"I'm really happy that you and my sister are together. You make her so happy."

Fluttershy started to feel a blush spread across her cheeks.

"She makes me happy to"

"Do you love her?"

Fluttershy was surprised and completely caught off guard by the question.

"Yes. I love her, but…I'm not in love with her yet"

"Why?"

"We haven't been dating for a very long time Sweetie"

"But Rarity said you've loved her for a very long time"

'I can't believe I'm talking about love with a child'

"Well I have. I've loved her since high school, but there is a different between loving someone and being in love with someone. I love a lot of things and people. I love Ponyville, I love my bunny Angel, I love my job, I love Applejack, Rainbow Dash Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Rarity and I love you, but you see, I am not IN love with all those people and things. If you are in love with someone you would know. I wouldn't want to be away from that person. Being in love with someone is an intense, deep, and overwhelming feeling. You wish to always be by their side. You'd do things for this person, even if you don't want to. The person you're in love with can make you feel things you haven't felt before. That person can make your heart beat a hundred miles an hour by just thinking about them. You share the most intimate moments with this person. There are a lot of differences between the two. Do you understand?"

"I think I do."

"I'll see you in the morning. Good night and sweet dreams"

" Don't let the bed bugs bite, Shy"

"Hehe I wont"

Fluttershy walked out the room but left the door open slightly. She made her way into Rarity's room with her duffel bag that contained her night clothes and clothes for tomorrow. Fluttershy emptied out everything in her bag, but it seemed that she forgot to pack her pjs.

"Rarity wouldn't mind if I borrowed some of her clothes."

Walking over to the drawers, Fluttershy found shirts, socks, underwear, shorts, and-

"Oh my Celestia!" Fluttershy's face and neck turned red. In her hands was a black thin, small thong made of silk with lace bows on the sides of the hip.

"Why would Rarity buy this? It doesn't hide anything."

'But I wouldn't be complaining if this was the only thing she was wearing'

She decided to wear one of Rarity's old drama club shirts from their high school and some of her running shorts. As Fluttershy started to close Rarity's drawers, she noticed a black silky bag. It was long but not thick.

"What's this?"

In the small bag was a purple vibrator.

"Oh My Luna! Well I suppose she has urges to" Fluttershy said with a hint of jealously towards the item.

'Fluttershy! Get your head out of the gutter. Why are you thinking like this?'

She put the vibrator back in the bag and returned it back to its original spot. After changing into the shirt and shorts, Fluttershy checked her phone for the first time since she started watching Sweetie Belle. She had 12 messages. All from Rarity. Some were picture of her and some famous fashion designers, others were her talking about how great Manehattan was, but the last one was a personally one.

'Fluttershy I miss you terribly. I wish you were with me. I hate being away from you. I promise if I ever come back to Manehattan, I'm going to demand that Sapphire Shores also pays for you. I miss your stuttering when you get nervous, your cute sneezes, your hugs that always leave me smell like wild flowers. The distance between us is unbearable. If it wasn't for Mr. Fancypants I've would have came home a day early. He had to talk me out of it. I miss your sweet kisses that leave me wanting more and your soft pink hair that dances in the wind when we go for our daily walks through the town. I'm counting down the minutes until my return. I wish I could be holding you right now. Sweet Dreams, my love'

Tears started to run down Fluttershy's face. She was about to reply but she realized that Manehattan had a 3-hour difference, so she decided she would reply in the morning. She crawled into Rarity's king size bed. The sheets, the pillow, the clothes, everything smelled of vanilla lavender. The smell of her lover. She grabbed the extra pillow and hugged it closer to her body. The pillow was soft like her body but it couldn't even compare to the real thing.

'I miss her so much. It's only been a few days since I've last seen her and I already miss her. I miss her rants. I miss our dates. I miss eating lunch with her. I miss her warm embrace on cold nights. I miss her smiles that could turn my whole day around. I miss her laughs. I miss how her hand fit so perfectly in mine. I love her. I love her so much'

That night, Fluttershy feel asleep hugging a pillow and imagining it was Rarity.
