Looking for Love (part1): Discovery

Discovery

Chapter 04

“Well Rarity… there’s no turning back… you started it, you end it” Rarity said to herself while sewing “I need to sort my feelings, why have I felt so desired by her?” she shook her head and added: ”That’s because she desires you Rarity.”

She stopped her work and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

“That was the craziest thing I had ever done… it never happened before to me to get so attracted to mare even though I still don’t feel really certain about it… Maybe I could talk to one of my friends… All this wondering and confusion is bothering me…”

She thought about who could be of any help to her and decided: “I’ll go talk to Fluttershy, after all she knows Rainbow for more time than everypony else.”

As she decided where to go, she didn’t waste any time and headed to Fluttershy’s cottage, formulating questions in her head to ask to the shy pegasus.

Knocking in the door several times, soon Fluttershy opened the door with a rather surprised look to Rarity.

“Oh Rarity… um… how you’re doing? Eer... anything I can help you with?”

“Hello Fluttershy I am doing okay and yes… I want to talk to you about something very important.”

“Oh okay then… come on in.”

Rarity entered and sat at Fluttershy’s couch, she patted the other side of it suggesting to the yellow mare to sit as well. Fluttershy got the hint and sat beside her friend; Rarity looked into the pegasus eyes and said.

“Well Fluttershy you may know why I am here”

Fluttershy seemed got somewhat uncomfortable since she knew what her friend was talking about.

“So I would like to talk to you about Rainbow Dash and… you know…”

“I understand…”

“Okay… aaamm. Rainbow and I had…“ at this point Rarity cheeks blushed strongly “we had kissed yesterday…”

Fluttershy gasped lightly and blushed as well.

“I don’t know what to do… I never had thought on her THAT way, it was all so sudden that I didn’t thought over the subject before kissing her… now I am afraid that I may not feel the same way as she does about me…”

“Well Rarity I… don’t want to make Rainbow sad with me by telling you this but… "She has liked you for some time..."

“She has?”

“Yeah… even though you may think differently, she really appreciates you…”

“Well I may add that I had done some bad things to her but she had done bad things to me as well… I needed three days to come back to Ponyville with Pinkie Pie talking non-stop… I like Pinkie but that was too much to me…”

“But haven’t you considered that she may be sorry about it, but her pride doesn’t let her tell it to you?”

“Indeed… she is really proud of herself… she had come to my home this morning after I… left you all… she proposed me a date and I accepted it.”

“So you may feel the same way about her.’

“Probably… I may figure it out tomorrow” Rarity gave a soft chuckle to her friend.

“I hope you two work out Rarity… Rainbow talked several times about you with me…”

“What she had said to you?”

“Oh sorry Rarity but I can’t say it…” Fluttershy said in a lower volume.

“Sorry dear Fluttershy but I am so curious… don’t worry you don’t have to tell me… I am going home now, I have a big order that I need to work on”

“Okay then but please Rarity… don’t take a big step without thinking on Rainbow’s feelings first okay?”

“I will keep that in mind. Bye Fluttershy, have a good day.” Rarity was going towards the front door, she stopped several hooves from it and added: “And sorry for leaving you girls like that earlier today.”

“Not a problem Rarity…”

“Thanks…”

Rarity left her friend’s house and went back home to work, after a long day of drawing and sewing the night had arrived, the full moon rising like a spotlight in the sky giving an beautiful taste of silver into Rarity’s bedroom. She had finished her work for the day and was lying in bed, waiting for sleep.

‘I hope everything to go well tomorrow…’

She opened her eyes to be granted with the beautiful moonlight bathing her room.

‘I can’t deny that she is pretty… especially those lovely eyes… oh those eyes, they make me felt warm and safe for some reason…’ she sat in the bed and looked to the window: ‘she is brave… carefree…’ she started to remember what had happened last night and added to her thoughts: ‘and certainly passionate.’

Rarity’s breath cut short for a brief moment at the last part of her brainstorm, but something got her attention, something taht seemed like a feather was lying in the floor next to her window. Rarity got up to see what it was, she narrowed her eyes to see better into the dim-lit room.

“It is a feather.”

Rarity took the feather with her magic and levitated it closer to window to let it be better illuminated; so she could take a better look at it.

“Rainbow Dash… do I really love you?”

She went back to bed with the feather still in her grasp, the cyan feather was floating into her front. She caressed it with her hoof and rubbed it against her face.

“It is surely soft…”

Rarity imagined herself into being hugged by Rainbow, the pegasus’ fragrant coat and mane, her hooves caressing the rainbow-maned pegasus’ wings caressing every feather feeling their gentleness. Reality struck her as she realized where her mind was drifting to: “I better get some sleep…”

The unicorn put the feather on top of her nightstand and soon she was sleeping.

_______________________________________________________________

The morning came as always, peaceful and simple. A simple bath, a simple breakfast and a simple work, what the night had to offer would be something out of simple to Rarity. She was eager and fearful at the same time, wondering how her date would be.

Her work done, the clock was reaching the seven hours mark. Rarity decided not to dress up since it was a simple place where they were going so she felt satisfied after a few brushes in her mane and tail, styling it as usual.

Fifteen minutes passed away but it somewhat seemed like thirty minutes, she was at her living room sitting in her couch watching the clock ticking, too slow in her point of view.

Finally, seven and half have arrived. Rarity’s anxiousness was even higher than ever when finally she heard somepony knocking at the door; probably Rainbow Dash.

She opened the door and almost let out a gasp, Rainbow was undressed like Rarity and her mane was as usual, but her mane and tail colors were vivid than never, she had a cyan ribbon tied at the end of her tail giving an beautiful but at the same time, meek touch to her appearance.

Rarity looked her up and down without caring if Rainbow was noticing it or not. She then finally landed her eyes at the pegasus’ eyes, open-mouthed from her appearance.

Rainbow finally said: “So… let’s go?”
