Author's Note
Hello, everyone. Well, this is a bit new. I've never really made one of these short one-shot ship stories before, but I figured that I might as well try my hand at them. And also, it's on Wallflower and Fuchsia Blush. I adored Wallflower ever since Forgotten Friendship and I've been a fan of Fuchsia for a good while now. So, what better way to spread my love for these two Blushes than by making them sisters and putting them together in a fanfic format?
If you do enjoy this story and want to see more one-shot shipfics out of me, then please feel free to drop me a like and a comment (Upvotes and comments ESPECIALLY, considering that upvotes get a story out there more these days than favourites. I know that sounds like I'm asking for praise, but I've noticed that only when a thing is upvoted does it become successful.) and let me know how I'm doing with my stories.
And if you're a fan of Wallflower Blush or Fuchsia Blush, then I hope that I've done you all justice with this little fanfic. And please feel free to spread the word to all of your friends and followers about it.
But anyways, I've wasted enough of your time as it is. On with the shipping!
Blushing Beauties
It was just another day. That's what Wallflower Blush kept on telling herself. The Memory Stone was in pieces, but it wasn't all for the worst. Sunset and the girls had finally helped find her feet and give her something to fall back on at CHS, instead of comdemn her to her life of solitude and isolation. Most of the time, when she said that, she would remember the crippling loneliness that she had felt day in, day out. But now, it was more like a vote of confidence for her. It was a chance for her to take her life and steer it in the right direction for once. Maybe. Hopefully.
It was just another day. Or at least, that's what Fuchsia Blush wanted to believe. For her, ever since she had signed on to be a part of Trixie and the Illusions, every day just seemed to be the same for her. Though, she couldn't really blame herself for not wanting to spice up her life a little. She did enjoy the magic tricks that she was learning every now and again, but apart from that, the only real interesting thing in her life was coming home and tending to her own little garden, and her sister, Wallflower. If anything, seeing her smile would at least brighten her day a little. Maybe. Hopefully.
Together, they both woke up, went to the bathroom, and started to freshen themselves up a little for the next day of their lives. For Wallflower, it would be one more step to building better bonds with the students at CHS. For Fuchsia, it would just be another day hanging out with Trixie and Lavender.
For as always, it was just another day.
Wallflower was the first one to make it to the kitchen that morning. Her hair was only slightly messier than usual. As she went to the cupboards and pulled out some cereal for herself, she saw Fuchsia walk into the room with her hair mildly frizzled.
"Rough night?" Wallflower asked Fuchsia, while she took a seat at the table.
"Yeah. You could say that." Fuchsia went towards the bread bin and took out a couple of slices of white bread, sticking them into the toaster. "What about you?"
"Not really." Wallflower took a bite out of the cereal. "It's just been kinda weird, having all of this attention all of a sudden." She fiddled around with the spoon. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful to Sunset and her friends for helping me out, but I guess I've never really been used to all of this friendship stuff."
"Aww, sis. It's totally fine." Fuchsia put on a small smile as she turned towards Wallflower. "You've been having a tough time and they've helped you step into the light a bit more," she said. "We all go through that eventually. And I'm happy that you did too."
"Thanks, sis." Wallflower put on a small grin as she ate another spoonful. "Y'know, outside of school and all that, you were one of the only people who cared for me. Even when everyone else just forgot about me, you didn't. Even if we were in different academic years or classes."
"Well, you're my little sister, Wallflower. I'm not gonna forget about you any time soon." Fuchsia saw the toast jump out of the toaster and caught both slices, before taking a knife and buttering them both us. "No matter what people say, do, or think about you, you and I are both Blushes. No-one could ever take that away from us; no matter how hard they tried."
"Yeah. We are sisters, Fuchsia." Wallflower knew that wasn't going to change; even if she still had the Memory Stone. That was one of the one solaces she used to have back in those days, and was still glad to have it even now. "And I've gotta do the same for you. Even if you're the big sister, you always need someone by your side. I'm glad to be that someone." Wallflower, as her name implied, blushed at her sister.
"Aww, Wallflower..." Fuchsia blushed in response and almost mildly sliced her hand with the butter knife in doing so. Once she was done with the toast, she quickly took her plate over to Wallflower and sat down beside her. "You always know just what to say to make these days seem better."
Wallflower just gave a coo as she smiled and took another spoonful of the cereal, watching as Fuchsia started to sink her teeth into the crispy, warm, welcoming slices of buttered toast she had prepared for herself.
Soon, both of the Blush sisters were enraptured by their breakfast. Not much was said at the table, but the grins on their faces and the little winks to each other as they ate was all the conversation and support they needed. Even if they had trouble setting in to certain things at CHS or coming out of their shell, it was nice to know the other was still around.
"Y'know, I've always loved these morning breakfasts we share together, Wallflower." Fuchsia finished off one piece of toast and moved on to the other. "I wonder why."
"Yeah, I wonder too." Wallflower's bowl was half-empty as she continued eating.
"You think it's something to do with the fluorescent lighting? I think it is." Fuchsia took a brief glimpse up at the light, using her hand to shield the more harsh rays from hitting her eyes. "Or maybe it's these little chats we always have on a morning. One of the two, at least."
Wallflower just sighed. "Maybe it's because the light reminds us of our flowers. And how they bathe in the sunlight every morning." She took a peak out of the window and saw the bright blues skies glistening down on them. "That's what I think. A flower really blooms its' best when it's warm and fuzzy, like out there." Her smile grew wider. "Speaking of which, Fuchsia, how's your garden coming along?"
"Pretty good." Fuchsia twisted her wrist around in circular motions. "I have some new begonias that are just about to blossom." Another piece of her toast was then slaughtered by her merciless teeth, crunched up into pieces and then swallowed. "If you like, I could show you it after school today."
"That would be nice," said Wallflower as she finished off her breakfast. "I've got some crocuses that are doing pretty well right about now. And not just the ones at Canterlot High's garden. I could let you take a peak at them too."
"Sure. I'd like that." Fuchsia finally finished her toast off and took the plate to the sink. "Maybe if Trixie doesn't work me like a dog today, I could help you out with your gardens too. Maybe."
"Many hands make light work, as they say." Wallflower added her empty bowl to the sink too and started to wash up with her sister. "Plus, it's always much more fun whenever you help out, Fuchsia."
"What can I say? You have that kinda pull on me." Fuchsia rolled up her sleeves and began to wipe the plate down with a sponge.
Eventually, both Wallflower and Fuchsia were both dressed in their usual attire. Though, for Fuchsia, usual was just a small outfit that Trixie had handed down to her. A simple purple and pink skirt with a golden waistline and frame. Wallflower was much more casual, with her plain striped sweater and navy blue jeans. Both of them slung their backpacks around them and started on the long path from their house to Canterlot High School.
"Y'know, Trixie's actually not that bad once you get to know her." Fuchsia struck up the first conversation as the two sisters strolled down the path together. "Sure, she's boastful, narcissistic, and biting off a bit more than she can chew at times, but she's actually pretty soft on the inside. She just wants to have friends, y'know?"
"I guess." Wallflower folded her arms a little. "But I still don't know what she wants out of the magic business. I mean, more power to her for pursuing her dreams and all, but don't you get a little annoyed with her at times?"
"Well... we do have our odd spats here and there, but me and Lavender would never even think of breaking up with Trix." Fuchsia tipped her hand slightly. "I mean, without her, we're just as lonely as you once were, Wallflower. I mean, where do we fit in other than with her? Especially after that whole Battle of the Bands work we did together."
"Oh yeah, that." Wallflower just shrugged. "I mean, those three new girls were pretty attractive, but I just never really found the appeal in their singing. Wonder where they are now..."
"I sometimes wonder that myself." Fuchsia's eyes were locked on a small patch of flowers by the door of another house. "I mean, yeah, they had the whole school under their grip with that freaky magic stuff, but I kinda liked it. Is it bad to like stuff that controls us?"
"Well, that depends on how much you let it control you," Wallflower said. "I mostly just spent the Battle of the Bands in the yearbook office. It's kinda become my usual spot now."
"You should've been there, Wallflower. It had a great final round." Fuchsia patted her back. "Sure, I admit that the Rainbooms were a bit overrated and pulled the strings a little, but the light show... It might as well have been a movie with how flashy and over-the-top everything was."
"Yeah. If I'd liked music a little bit more, I would've definitely come to check it all out. Especially considering how far you and your friends made it too." Wallflower put a hand on Fuchsia's shoulder and patted it down.
"Yeah. If the Rainbooms actually were knocked out at the semis, we would've won it easily." Fuchsia put her fingers to the gem on her outfit and pushed them outward. She then blinked and rubbed her eyes. "Geez, I'm even starting to SOUND like Trixie too. I need to get some more friends."
Wallflower just gave a little giggle.
For most of their trip, Wallflower and Fuchsia didn't really talk much other than gossip on the side. Mostly because the route they took was practically the exact same every time and not one single solitary thing had changed for them in the past few years. Occasionally, there'd be the odd parade or blooming flower gardens in spring, but most of the time, it was just a regular commute to high school with nothing really striking out at them.
"Hey, Fuchsia. What do you plan on doing when you graduate CHS?" Wallflower broke the silence.
"Me? I haven't even thought of that yet." Fuchsia scratched her chin. "I've been so caught up with Trixie and Lavender that I've not really had time to think about that. We've just been thinking on 'upping our game' and 'improving our sleight of hand' most of the time."
"I've been thinking about a lot of things for the past few weeks." Wallflower stuffed her hands into the pockets of her jeans. "I considered doing that independent study program at Everton for a while until Sunset and her friends put me in the yearbook. Now, my horizons are pretty broad."
"Good for you." Fuchsia idly rolled her eyes to the side. "Right now, my options are a bit limited. And not just because of the whole magician's trio thingy the three of us have going. Maybe I should be a bit more open when it comes to college."
"Well, whatever you choose to do, I'd be glad to support you however I can." Wallflower wrapped her arm around Fuchsia's neck. "After all, we're sisters. And the best thing sisters do for each other is stick together when it matters the most."
"That's what we do anyways, but I totally agree." Fuchsia wrapped her own arm around Wallflower's neck as the two of them approached Canterlot High. "And hey, when you graduate, I'll always drop by whenever I get the chance to."
"Thanks, sis." Wallflower brushed closer against Fuchsia's hips. "I'm so glad I've got you for a sister."
"Same here, Wallflower." Fuchsia pulled Wallflower into a semi-hug as the two of them made it to the courtyard and stepped up to the doors of Canterlot High. As they finally arrived at the glass doors, their small hug turned into a real one as they turned into each other and nuzzled their necks. "Here's to graduation, the Blush family, and just to the two of us. Besties."
"Besties." Wallflower's smile widened as she continued to hug Fuchsia.
Once their hug finally came to an end, Wallflower and Fuchsia broke out of each other's cuddles and walked into Canterlot High together, immediately met with the sound of chattering students and the sights of the cream-coloured walls. The both of them walked as far as the center of the foyer, then went their own separate ways.
Fuchsia went over towards Trixie and Lavender Lace, who were both smiling as she waltzed over to them. The three of them entered a brief group hug before heading down one of the corridors together, looking glitzy and glamorous as ever. Most of the other students paid them no mind, but the three of them knew that together, they were complete.
Wallflower headed down the path towards her next class, being greeted by a bunch of different people along the way. Aside from Sunset and her friends, she waved at and got responses back from most of the students in her path, along with a few that she hadn't even talked to yet since the events involving the Memory Stone.
As the both of them made it to their lockers and pulled out their respective textbooks and schedules, they both knew that deep down...
It was just another day.
