Rainbow Above My Heart

Rainbow Dash woke up early for once, but she was in no hurry to get out of her bed. She still had the picture of Fluttershy next to her. She looked at it closely, admiring all of Fluttershy's features. I need to hear her soothing voice again. She thought as she kissed the picture and set it down at her bedside. Her mind began to wander to another subject. Why do I feel this way about her? I have never once even looked at a mare thinking she was attractive. Rainbow Dash was very confused about herself. Maybe I do love her, I mean that is the only way to explain this. She got out of bed. I realy don't think there is any maybe to it, I do love her. Rainbow Dash finally gave in. She realized that Fluttershy was her first actual love. She hates me now! What could I do to earn her forgiveness? Rainbow Dash pondered this while preparing for a shower. Well I guess I could start small, maybe just get her some flowers. That was all she could come up with. After her shower and finishing her weather chores she grabed her saddlebags and headed out.

She knew exactly where the floral shop was, but she never thought she would ever need to enter it. She landed infront of the shop and almost stoped herself from reaching for the door handle. She was nervous about being seen going into a flower shop, but she forced herself to open the door and walk up to the counter. A gray stallion with black mane and square framed glasses stood behind the counter. "What can I do for you?"

Rainbow Dash replied in a nervous and rushed tone, "I need a bouquet of red roses." The store clerk raised an eyebrow and looked at her funny.

"Is something wrong miss, you seem a little nervous." He asked awaiting Rainbow Dash's response

"Oh...it's just that these roses are for somepony realy special to me and I just don't know if she will accept them." Rainbow Dash suddenly realized what she had said. "I mean he, sorry."

The store clerk smiled and giggled a little bit. "Oh thats alright, and don't worry I get ponys like you in my shop every day." He turned around and walked through a door behind him and came back with a bouquet of fifteen roses. "Five bits please." Rainbow Dash retreived the money from her saddlebag and placed it on the counter.

"Oh and can I get a card to?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Sure, and the card is free of charge." He opened a drawer and pulled out a small, white peice of paper and a pen. "What would you like it to say?"

Rainbow Dash blushed. "Promise not to laugh at me please."

The store clerk smiled again. "Like I said before, I get ponys like you in here all the time, so I am not going to laugh. As a matter of fact it warms my heart to hear what you young lovers have to say sometimes." He and Rainbow Dash both laughed.

"Ok then, this is what I want it to say." Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and said, "Since the day we met I knew we would be friends forever, but recently I have felt like we are more than that, and I know you feel the same too, so maybe we can be more than just friends."

The store clerk wrote down every word and slipped the card into the bouquet leaving half of the card sticking out. "Here you are, and good luck." He gave the roses to Rainbow Dash and she put them in her saddle bag.

"Thank you." Rainbow Dash replied. She left the shop and flew toward Fluttershy's cottage. She landed outside the door, and placed the roses on the mat. She knocked on the door and flew away just far enough to where she could see Fluttershy, but Fluttershy couldn't see her. Afew seconds later Fluttershy answered the door.

"Hello?" Fluttershy said as she looked around. She looked down and saw the roses. She picked them up and saw that a card was with them. As she read it a tear came to her eye. I know who these are from. Why is she even trying? She took them in and fetched a vase. She unwraped the roses and put them in the vase and placed them on the table in her living room. She read the card once more. Can I forgive her? Fluttershy began thinking on whether or not Rainbow Dash deserved it.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was wondering if this would work or not. She flew toward her home, hopeing for the best. She sat in her living room for hours just thinking about Fluttershy. She saw that it had gotten late, and began walking to her bedroom. A knock on her door stoped her in her tracks. She could almost sense who it was. She rushed over and opened the door, and sure enough there stood Fluttershy, but she was in tears. "Whats wrong Flutter......." Fluttershy cut her off with a kiss. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened and her heart started pounding, but she closed her eyes as well and returned the kiss. It started out as closed mouth, but turned into pationate open mouth kiss. Rainbow Dash felt like she was in heaven. Fluttershy pulled back and they were both breathing heavy.

"I'm so sorry Dashie, I never should have been so harsh." Fluttershy said as she wrapped Rainbow Dash in a tight hug.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Rainbow Dash hugged her tighter. She never wanted to let go. Her eyes began to tear up as well.

"Yes I do, I should have never even thought of killing myself and I should have never talked to you like that." Fluttershy replied as she nuzzled Rainbow Dash's neck.

"I'm sorry for acting the way I did when you told me you loved me, and I promise I love you to." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy pulled out of the hug and looked deep into Rainbow Dash's eyes.

"Do you realy love me?" Fluttershy asked desperetly praying silently for a yes.

Without hesitation Rainbow Dash replied, "Of cource I do Shy, and I wish I could have realized that sooner." She kissed her again and held Fluttershy in her forelegs. This moment was perfect for both of them.
