Rainbow Above My Heart

Rainbow Dash awoke the next morning and found that she had passed out on her couch. "Oh Celestia my back is killing me." She stood up and stretched, and then she heard a cracking sound. "Ow!" It hurt for a moment but it seemed that she had put her spine into proper alignment. She went through her morning routine of getting ready for the day. After she finished with the usual shower and breakfast she debated on what she could do to make the day go by faster. It was her day off, so she didn't have to complete any chores. She knew seeing Fluttershy was out of the question, but she wanted to see her so bad that she couldn't stand it. She wont care if I just stop by to say hi, and then I can just practice some moves or something. Rainbow Dash thought to herself. Just seeing Fluttershy for a few seconds would be enough to hold her off for a while, so she set off for the Everfree Forest.

Rainbow Dash flew over the forest for what seemed to be forever, but was realy fifteen minutes. There was no way Fluttershy was in the forest. Where in Equestria is she? Rainbow Dash was puzzled. Maybe she didn't leave her cottage yet. She flew toward Fluttershy's home. Who knows, maybe I could ask to go on that picnic with her and Angel. She landed at the front door and knocked, but there was no answer. She knocked again, and once again there was no answer. Suddenly she felt something hit her in the back of the head. She turned around to find Angel had thrown a carrot at her. "What the....." She stopped herself from cursing at the small rabbit because she needed to know where Fluttershy had gone. "Hey little guy, do you know where Shy went?" Angel rolled his eyes and pointed toward town. "Why would she go there?" Rainbow Dash asked. Angel shrugged and hopped off.

Did she realy lie to me? Was the only question on Rainbow Dash's mind as she flew toward the center of Ponyville. She hated to think Fluttershy would do such a thing, but she knew Fluttershy would only lie for one reason, and that was to keep from hurting someponys feelings. She arrived to her destination, stopped, and hovered. What could she be doing that would hurt my feelings. She waited for ten minutes with no sign of Fluttershy. Finally she walked out of beautiful looking house, and following behind her was a handsome stallion with a blonde maine and black coat. What is she doing?

Rainbow Dash nearly fell out of the sky when Fluttershy turned around and gave the handsome colt a hug. No! She wouldn't cheat on me! Rainbow Dash trusted Fluttershy to much to assume that, but her trust died when Fluttershy gave the stallion a kiss on the cheek. She felt her heart shatter as tears flooded her eyes. The stallion gave Flutteshy a small box with a red ribbon on it and she put it in her right saddle bag. Rainbow Dash couldn't stand to watch this any longer, so she flew away as fast as she could. She flew so fast that she actually caused a sonic rain boom without even realizing it. The added speed helped her get home in only a few seconds. She almost crashed into her door when she landed. She opened the door and slammed it as hard as she could behind her.

"How could she, and with a colt of all ponies?" Rainbow Dash asked as she fell on her couch. She was still crying furiously. "I thought she loved me, I thought she cared about me, we slept together for Celestias sake!" She felt used. After all she and Fluttershy had been through it seemed as if they were created for each other. "I feel like such an idiot, why would she do this?" Rainbow Dash kept shouting questions of why and how at herself. She just couldn't understand. She burried her face in the cushion of the couch and continued to cry while screaming random obsceneties.

Two hours later a knock on Rainbow Dash's door caused her to jump and look toward the source of the sound. A voice then sounded from behind the door. "Dashie, may I come in, Its very important." It was Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash didn't want to seem week when she confronted Fluttershy about what she had seen, so she did her best to stop crying, dried her face as best she could, and walked to the door. When she opened it she instantly turned around, for she didn't want to even see Fluttershy's face.

"So, how was your picnic?" Rainbow Dash asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Well Dashie, there wasn't realy a picnic, and thats why I'm here." Fluttershy replied wondering why Rainbow Dash sounded sarcastic, and why she was turned away from her.

"Trust me Fluttershy, I know." Rainbow Dash replied as she lowered her head in sadness, but then she raised right back up and turned around. "I saw you with that stallion, I know what you were realy doing!" Her sadness was replaced by anger.

"Oh my, well I didn't want you to find out like this, but why do you seem angry, I thought you would be happy." Fluttershy replid in a puzzled voice.

"Why would I be happy that you lied to me and played with my emotions?" Rainbow Dash screamed.

"Wait do you think I was......" Fluttershy giggled.

"Now your bucking laughing about it!" Rainbow Dash couldn't stand the taunting.

"That was an old friend of mine that just got into town, and he gave something to me." Fluttershy responded as her giggles turned into full on laughter.

"Oh well that makes it all better, am I supposed to forgive you because he was an old friend?" Rainbow Dash was furious.

Fluttershy managed to stop laughing and said, "He has traveled the entire world, and he managed to obtain a fireruby engagement band which he gave me, so that I could give it to you."

"What?" Rainbow Dash was unsure if she had heard correctly.

Fluttershy walked closer to Rainbow Dash and pulled the box out of her saddle bag and placed it on the floor infront of Rainbow Dash. "Go ahead and open it." Fluttershy said with excitement etched on her face. Rainbow Dash opened it and couldn't believe her eyes. It was beautiful. A gold ring that looked like it was a perfect fit for her with well cut fire rubies decorating it.

"I...I can't..." Rainbow Dash was speachless.

"Dashie, I have loved you ever since we were little fillies, and that love has never ended and never will, you are everything to me, and the rainbow above my heart, which is why I hope you will make me the happiest mare in the world." Fluttershy teared up in joy as the words left her lips and Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped. "Rainbow Dash, will you marry me?"

The question rang through Rainbow Dash's skull. Now she was sure she was wrong about what she had saw, and felt bad for being mad. She said the only thing she could as she began to cry again in complete joy. "Yes yes yes, a thousand times yes!" Rainbow Dash extended her foreleg and Fluttershy placed the engagement band on it. She lowered her foreleg and kissed Fluttershy, who she could now consider her future wife.
