Can Two Mares Kiss Each Other?
“Can two mares kiss each other, Twilight?”
Scootaloo’s question made Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, drop her book and let it fall to the ground with a large thud. In the room with them was Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, who also froze and turned to the young innocent filly. The reason they were there was because Twilight had called a meeting among friends for that day ather castle, and all of them except Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had arrived so far.
Now all of that became forgotten, however, as Twilight examined the pegasus filly in front of her for a minute before asking, “Uh...why do you ask?”
“Well,” Scootaloo started with a smile, “I was scootering through Ponyville to try and find Rainbow Dash and ask her if she wanted to check out some of my new stunts, when I saw her at a distance sitting on a bench behind a building with Fluttershy, and after about a minute she kissed her on the lips. It was really weird because I thought only mares and stallions could kiss each other, so I thought I’d ask you about it since you’re the smartest pony I know.”
The room was dead silent as the ponies took in the new information brought to them. Applejack’s eyes were almost as wide as her open mouth, and Rarity had a similar expression. Pinkie seemed to be surprised by the news, but pleasantly, because she had her hooves on her mouth and looked like she was close to bursting in celebration. As for Twilight, she had a concerned expression on her face. Not only about the news that had just been shared, but about the inquisitive Scootaloo who had no idea about the circumstances surrounding it.
“Well, uh, Scootaloo I think it’s best if we talked about this in private. I’ll explain everything then. Just go into the study room right there and I’ll meet you there.” She pointed a lavender hoof towards a door in the castle, which Scootaloo quickly trotted to, shutting the door behind her as she went it. Twilight then turned to her friends.
“If Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy get here before I’m done then act natural. They have a reason for not telling us about this yet and we don’t want to intrude on their personal lives. Also if Rainbow shows up asking for her buck ball tell her I found it and left it in the dining room.”
With that said she walked over to the room and went in, shutting the door behind her with a click.
“Flutters and Dashie are dating?!” Pinkie yelled, throwing confetti in the air she got from...somewhere. “This is so exciting! And surprising, but mostly awesome! I can’t wait to throw a super ginormous party for them! It will be a Flutterdash party! We’ll invite everypony and it will be so amazing and fun and-”
Applejack had placed a hoof on Pinkie’s mouth to end the stream of pure excitement from the party pony. “We can’t do that yet! We need to make sure that the two of them are comfortable sharing, and Ah don’t want to make either of them mad.”
“Well I’m a little sad that Fluttershy failed to mention that she preferred mares, let alone was dating one,” Rarity chimed in, “it makes sense now why she never wanted to date any of the stallions I suggested.”
“She was probably just really shy to admit it,” Applejack suggested, “you know how quiet that pony tends to be.”
“I suppose so, but I wish I had heard it from her or Rainbow Dash instead of Sweetie Belle’s friend.”
“I think they’re adorable together,” Pinkie said, jumping up and down in excitement, “just think about it. She’s a shy pegasus who cares about the cute animals of Equestria. She’s an aspiring Wonderbolt who came from the wrong side of the tracks. But now they have one thing in common, love.”
“Uh, yeah, that,” Applejack said confused, “Ah just hope the two of them aren’t too scared to tell us about their relationship and all. It’s not exactly a comforting topic to talk about.”
“I hope so too,” Rarity said, “while Ponyville may be rather liberal when it comes to those types of relationships, there are some places that are not as accepting, like Las Pegasus.”
“And even then the topic is relatively new to Ponyville. Ah remember when Bon Bon and Lyra were the only couple here.”
“Well, regardless we must let them tell us themselves. After all it is the right thing to do.”
“How do you ponies think they confessed?” Pinkie Pie asked, “A cake? A song? A picnic under the stars? An elaborate scavenger hunt? One of them faked their deaths and then revealed that they weren’t dead so that they could tell the other pony how they really felt? Rainbow Dash dug up one of Fluttershy’s deceased animal friends and made it into a hand puppet and gave it to her as a present.”
Applejack and Rarity looked at Pinkie Pie for a moment before they each took one long step away from her.
“Darling, I really think you should take up Twilight’s suggestion of her services for therapy,” Rarity said, still creeped out.
“And who do you think confessed first?” Pinkie said, ignoring the suggestion by her unicorn friend.
“Ah think it would have had to been Rainbow because she’s a lot braver than Fluttershy is,” Applejack pointed out.
“While I normally would agree with you,” Rarity began, “I think that Fluttershy is a lot more straightforward with her emotions, while Rainbow Dash seems to ignore them or push them down, refusing to admit them.”
“Yeah, Ah guess you have a point. Who do you think was first, Pinkie?”
“Well, both your arguments are good, but I think it was Dashie because I still think that she confessed by doing the hand puppet plan.”
Once again the two other ponies scooted away from Pinkie. Suddenly Rarity gasped out loud.
“You girls don’t think they’ve, uh, you know…”
“They’ve what?” Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow at Rarity’s reluctance.
“They’ve...done it, do you?”
“What!?” The question made Applejack shoot up in surprise. “Rarity, what a question to ask. Ah know that those two are very responsible and wouldn’t. Ah mean, they can’t get pregnant from it and all, but I trust they wouldn’t until they’re committed, right?”
Just then the doors to the castle opened and the last two members of the mane six walked in, talking amongst themselves. As soon as they got near to their three friends they stopped.
“Hey,” Rainbow Dash said with her signature smile that dropped after looking at her friends. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong, darling,” Rarity said trying to hide her blush behind a smile that was clearly fake.
“Are you sure, Rarity,” Fluttershy asked with concern, “we can always talk in private if you need to.”
“Nope,” Applejack chimed in, “we’re all good here.”
Both her and Rarity were trying to act like everything was normal and that they were happy, but failing spectacularly. Meanwhile Pinkie had her hooves over her mouth again and looked like her head was going to blow up. When Rainbow saw this she cocked an eyebrow and shook her head. She was clearly used to this behavior from the party pony at this point.
“Well, before Twilight shows up, I’m going to go and try to find where I left that buck ball of mine,” Rainbow said looking around.
“Oh, Twilight said it was in the dining room,” Applejack said.
“Cool, Thanks.”
“I’ll come with you,” Fluttershy said with a small smile.
“Awesome! I could use a little company!”
Suddenly, as if Pinkie could no longer hold it in, she half asked half shouted, “Are you guys going to make out in there?”
Applejack and Rarity turned to her with angry expressions and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash with equal blushes. As soon as she saw them she smiled nervously and shrank back.
“Uh, w-what m-makes you say that, Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash stuttered, her confident voice and demeanor gone.
Applejack sighed before stepping forward. “We know that you two are dating.”
There was a pause in which Fluttershy and Rainbow exchanged a worried glance before Rainbow wrapped a wing around her girlfriend. “How did you guess…”
“Scootaloo was going by on her scooter and saw you two. She rushed here to ask Twilight about it,” Applejack admitted. “This one here,” she pointed to Pinkie, “wasn’t supposed to say anything.”
“A-and you’re not m-mad at us or anything?” Fluttershy asked in an almost inaudible voice.
“Of course not, darling,” Rarity said with a smile, “wherever did you come up with such a silly idea? We will always be your friends, no matter what occurs!”
Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy, “I told you that they would accept us. You worry too much.”
“Says the pony who wanted to have our first date in that hidden part of Sweet Apple Acres so Nopony would see us,” Fluttershy teased.
“Awww, you two are so adorable together,” Pinkie said, “when do you guys think I should plan your getting together party for?”
Before Fluttershy or Rainbow could respond, Twilight came around the corner with Scootaloo.
“Well I think it’s fabulous that you two are in love, and I have no problem with it.”
“So you two are girlfriends, now?” Scootaloo asked.
“That’s right, Scoots,” Rainbow Dash responded.
“Ok, I think I understand now. But I do have one more question.”
“Shoot, squirt.”
“How do you two make foals?”
