Rainbow Above My Heart
Chapter 7
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash held Fluttershy tight. She was in a euphoric state. It was almost like she was floating, but she crashed back to earth as she realized something. Her eyes widened and she pulled back from Fluttershy. "How are we supposed to get married if we can't let anypony know about us?" Rainbow Dash asked with a worried tone.
Fluttershy's smile turned to a look of frustrasion as she replied, "Dashie, I hoped you would understand that it can't be a secret forever."
Rainbow Dash's mind began racing. I already get called a lesbian enough because of my mane and the fact that I never even went on a single date with a colt before! Fluttershy saw that Rainbow Dash was thinking hard about what she had said. Her look of frustration turned to a look of hopelesnes. Rainbow Dash looked into her eyes and smiled. "Shy, I would do anything to make you happy." She kissed Fluttershy on the forehead and embraced her again. "I don't care what anypony else thinks, you are the only pony I ever loved and the only one I ever will love." Fluttershy couldn't help but let a little teer of joy slip out of her eye. "If we have to leave equestria all together I won't care as long as we're together."
"Thanks Dashie." Fluttershy replied as the smile returned to her face. "So should we go and see if Rarity can help us plan the wedding?"
"Wait, does it have to be Rarity?" Rainbow Dash asked. She was ready to open up to everypony, but she was reluctent about telling her friends. What if they didn't accept the couple?
"She would be the only pony I trust with such a task, besides she would think we're cute together." Fluttershy said with confidence.
Rainbow Dash couldn't argue. Rarity was a sucker for romance. Rainbow Dash pushed her fears aside and said, "Your right Shy, we should go and pay her a visit."
They both let go of each other and looked each other in the eyes. "Well, we should get going because she might be to preocupied to help us if we wait any longer." With that they were off to Rarity's place.
The flight over was quiet. Both of them were to nervous to speak. They landed on Rarity's doorstep and Fluttershy knocked on the door. Rarity opened it and greeted Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. "Oh hello, what brings you two here so early?"
Fluttershy replied, "May we come in Rarity, we have a big favor to ask."
Rarity smiled, expecting them to ask her to make a couple of dresses, and said, "Of cource, come on in." She moved aside, allowing her two friends to enter. She closed her door and asked, "Now what can I do for..." She stoped in midsentence at the sight of Rainbow Dash's engagement band. With a gasp she asked, "Where on earth did you get that?"
Fluttershy was the one who answered the question. "Well thats why we're here, we were wondering if you could help us plan a wedding."
Rarity squeeled in excitement. This was much better than what she first thought they would ask of her. "Oh yes yes yes, who is the lucky stallion?"
Rainbow Dash lowered her head to hide her blushing. Fluttershy once again was the one to speak. "Actually Rarity, Rainbow Dash and I are getting married."
"Oh so it's two weddings then, that will be so much work, but I can do it." Rarity replied in an even more excited tone.
"No Rarity you misunderstood me, what I meant is I asked Dashie to marry me." Fluttershy prepared for Rarity to throw them out after seeing the look on her face.
"You...I...what?" Was all Rarity managed to say in her shocked state.
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and said, "For Celestia's sake, me and Fluttershy are in love with each other and we would like you to plan our wedding, so are you in or out?"
Rarity just stood their a moment in shock. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy both turned red in embarasment, but Rarity finally spoke. "Are you serious?" The two red faced ponies just nodded. "Well I could help you, but could you help me first?"
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at Rarity with surprise. Rainbow Dash asked, "Arn't you going to call us freaks or something?"
"Oh of cource not deer, I was just surprised it took this long to happen." Rarity replied.
"What the buck is that supposed to mean?" Rainbow Dash replied in a ticked off tone.
"Calm down, I just always thought you two would be cute together is all, and I can always tell when two ponies are in love." Rarity was now smiling. "I'm happy for the both of you, but I realy need your help."
Fluttershy smiled back and said, "Of cource we will help you, what do you need?"
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes again and said, "Sure."
Rarity shot an angry look at Rainbow Dash, but she looked back to Fluttershy and began smiling again. "Could you talk to Sweetie Bell, oh I don't know how to say this, she has become, how should I put this, close to Applejack's little sister, as close as you two have become I think."
"Is there something wrong with that?" Fluttershy asked with hope that the reply would be no.
"Well yes, but it's not what you think, you see she is very confused and doesn't know what to think, I don't know what to tell her, so please just talk to her and explain that what she is feeling is normal." Rarity said now looking serious.
Rainbow Dash finally spoke. "Ok we can talk to her, that must have been the reason Scootaloo couldn't find them." Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash like she didn't know what she was talking about.
"Oh, thank you both, she is in her room, I'll take you to her." Rarity replied as she led the couple to Sweetie Bell's bedroom. She opened the door and pretty much shoved them in. The door was shut behind them. Sweetie Bell was on her bed with her face in her pillow.
"Hey Sweetie Bell, Rarity told us you had a problem that me can help with." Fluttershy said in a caring voice.
"Get the hell out of my room." Sweetie Bell replied in a ''I don't care'' tone.
"Whoa, we are trying to help you you spoiled little....." Fluttershy put her hoof over Rainbow Dash's mouth to shut her up. She removed it and Rainbow Dash muttered, "Little Rarity."
Fluttershy walked up next to Sweetie Bell's bed and sat down. "Rainbow Dash and I feel the same way you and your little friend feel about each other, if anyone can help you its us."
Sweetie Bell looked up with a little bit of hope in her eyes. "Really?" Fluttershy nodded and Sweetie Bell told them everything. "Me and Apple Bloom just care about each other a lot and we think we like, like each other and when we kissed I got confused and I don't want to be a freak!" Sweetie Bell lowered her head as if she was shamed by something.
Rainbow Dash's jaw was resting on the floor. Fluttershy just smiled and put a hoof on Sweetie Bell's shoulder. "It's ok, you're not a freak, what you feel is natural, and you should be proud."
Rainbow Dash finally spoke. "Answer a question real quick kid, has anyone called you a freak because of this?"
Sweetie Bell lowered her head even more. "Just Scootaloo after she showed us her cutie mark."
"What!" Rainbow Dash screamed.
"Scootaloo got her cutie mark?" Fluttershy asked with raised eyebrows.
Sweetie Bell ignored Fluttershy's question as she turned her attention to Rainbow Dash. "I think she was just mad because we said we needed to be alone with each other."
"Look kid, when I was your age I was made fun of by everyone because of my mane, but I learned a phrase that made everyone shut up." Rainbow Dash replied like she really cared.
"What phrase?" Sweetie Bell asked with curiosity.
"Buck you." Rainbow Dash replied with confidence.
"Dashie!" Fluttershy looked mad as can be.
"What, the kid needs to know how to defend herself." Rainbow Dash giggled.
"I don't want to talk like that, but thank you both, this actually helped." Sweetie Bell said as she hugged Fluttershy and ran over to hug Rainbow Dash.
"We're glad we could help, now we have to talk to your sister now." Rainbow Dash said as she opened the door. Sweetie Bell nodded with a smile on her face and the soon to be newly weds walked out. Rarity was waiting for them with a hopeful look on her face.
"Did she listen?" Rarity asked.
"Yes she did." Fluttershy replied.
"Oh, thank Celestia, follow me and we can talk about what exactly you want." Rarity said as she turned to lead them downstairs.
"What a day so far." Rainbow Dash wispered to Fluttershy as they walked downstairs.
Fluttershy giggled and stole a quick kiss. "Just please don't try to make a child say bad things again."
