“Wanna go out with me?”

Today was the big day for fluttershy. She finally got the courage. “I can do it!” Fluttershy thought to herself as she flew up to Rainbow Dash, who, (not very surprisingly), was sleeping In a cloud.

“H-Hey R-Rainbow?” Rainbow Dash squirmed around in her sleep. Rainbow Dash starts muttering. Fluttershy heard her say “No, I don’t want a cupcake Pinkie.” She said, “Rainbow wake up!”

“Huh wha-?” Rainbow starts kicking around and then she wakes up! “She’s so cute in her sleep...” fluttershy thinks to herself, blushing.

“Oh, hey Shy. What brings you here? Don’t answer that, let’s go into my house.” Rainbow says, still kind of tired.

“W-Whatever you say!” They both fly over to where Rainbow’s house is. Fluttershy couldn’t stop blushing, even when Rainbow was looking at her. “Flutters, you ok?” Rainbow asks on the way there. “Uh, yeah! Everything’s fine!” Fluttershy stammers.

“Ooookay??” When they get inside, Rainbow sits down. “So, what brings you here?” Fluttershy sees an opportunity for a good joke to help her chances.

“What brought me here? Well, you did.” Fluttershy says with a smile on her face. “Haha! Good one! I gotta tell that one to pinkie someday!” “Haha, thanks!” Fluttershy tries to find a good time to actually tell her what she came for.

“So, what did you need?” Rainbow asks. “Well...” fluttershy finally gets full courage. “D-Do you want t-to...”

“Fluttershy? What’s with the stammering? You sound like you’re gonna cry...” “N-No! The thing is... do you wanna go out for dinner with me?”

Rainbow Dash is shocked. “ME?? Do you mean like a DATE? “Fluttershy’s heart start to sink. She didn’t expect Rainbow to be so surprised. “Y-Yeah...”

“You must have had a talk with Iron Will, cuz that takes guts! I’m proud, Shy.” “R-Really?” “Yup! In fact, I will go on a date with you, flutters.”

Fluttershy is surprised. “Really?! You mean it?!” “Pinkie promise. So, where exactly did you have in mind?” “I was thinking, maybe sugarcube corner?”

“Sounds good! Just make sure pinkie doesn’t find out. She’d tell everyone in equestria!” Rainbow said. Rainbow dash gets up and walks over to fluttershy.

“Tonight at 6 sound good?” “Sounds good!” Fluttershy gets up and gives Rainbow Dash a huge hug. “Thanks for coming, Shy.” “No problem! See you tonight!” “Bye!”

“I can’t believe this is happening!!” Fluttershy gets home and packs a picnic as a little “dessert” for Rainbow and herself. She tries to practice with animals wearing a Rainbow Dash mask. Her bunny, Angel, seems mad.

“Oh no, I’m not ready!” Fluttershy gets very worried. “Oh, calm down fluttershy, it’s only 1:00! Just stay calm...”

Author's Note

Sorry this was a short chapter. I don’t know how to make this long... :twilightsheepish: anyway, hope you enjoyed the first chapter!

Sugarcube date

Fluttershy had to take a nap. She was way to exhausted by all the practicing and stress. She felt a tug. “Huh... wha?” Fluttershy said in a sleepy voice. “Oh, Angel? What is it?” Angel bunny holds up a clock that says 5:50. “Oh no! I overslept! I got to get ready!”

Fluttershy springs out of bed and goes to her closet. She finds a nice outfit that she thinks Rainbow would like. “There. That should do it.” She hears a knock at her door. It’s finally time.

Fluttershy has waited her whole life for this. She walks up to the door, and opens it. Rainbow dash stands there, in a tuxedo. “Hey Shy! Ready to go?”

Fluttershy nods. She is very nervous and excited. “Don’t you mean NERVICITED?!” What the- PINKIE GET OUT OF HERE!! Anyway let’s continue.

“Ladies first!” Rainbow says with a smirk. Fluttershy giggles. They walk close together the whole way. Pinkie is outside eating a cupcake.

“Hello girls! What brings you here?” Pinkie says, mouth full. “We’re customers!” Rainbow says. “Ooh! In that case come with me! I got a special room for you two!” “Special room?” The two ponies are confused.

“Yeah! Mostly for couples!” Pinkie winks and brings them over to the room. “Um... where are we? It looks... very...” fluttershy can’t get her words out. “What she’s trying to say is that it looks amazing! Or as rarity would say, FABULOUS!!” Rainbows eye gleams as she winks at fluttershy.

“Here’s your table! What would you like?” “I’ll just have a milkshake and some hay fries.” “Of course! It’s time for the “Gentleman” of this couple to order!” Pinkie gives a huge smile.

“Damnit, Shy she knows what do we do?” Rainbow whispers really fast. “I-I’m not sure.” “I’ll leave you two “lovebirds” alone!” Rainbow’s hooves shake at pinkie in anger.

“Well, um... fluttershy.” “Hmm? What is it?” “I know you chose me but why? And why now?” “I-It’s because I-I REALLY like you...” rainbows cheeks start to heat up. “H-Huh? You like me?”

“Yeah...” “can’t blame you. I am awesome! Oh yeah, wanna know a secret?” “Ummm sure!” “Did you know I heard rarity say that we looks cute together?” “What?? Really??“ “it happened all right. I gotta admit, you are pretty cute.”

Fluttershy is really embarrassed. “C-Cute? You really think I’m cu-“ “AHA!!” Pinkie pie bursts through the door. “SO RARITY WAS RIGHT!!”

Rainbow dash wish she had fingers at that moment because if she did, she would point her middle one at Pinkie right then and there.

“Pinkie! Uh... how much did you hear?” Fluttershy asked, even more embarrassed than before. “I started listening when you mentioned Rarity! You think fluttershy is cute, dashie?” They stand in silence.

“Oh yeah I got your food! Bon appetite!” Pinkie sets the plates down. “And dash, you never ordered, so I just have you the same meal!” Pinkie gives them the plates of milkshakes and hay fries.

“Gee, THANKS Pinkie,” dash said, clearly annoyed. Pinkie leaves them “alone”.

“Umm... Rainbow?” “Hey shy.” “You gonna have some? It’s delicious!” “I’m just thinking about what Pinkie. She’s Definitely gonna tell everyone about this.” “That’s ok! Everyone will understand! Just between you and me, I got a letter from rarity that said “Hey cutie. Wanna get together? Come to my house if so. -Rainbow Dash”

”Rarity.” “it’s ok! I was able to tell it was rarity.” They eat their food peacefully. When they finished fluttershy brought rainbow dash outside.

“Where are we going, fluttershy?” “Right here!” “The lake?” Fluttershy pulls out the picnic basket. “A picnic! Awesome!” Fluttershy sets it up and sits down. “Tea?” Rainbow chuckles.”anything for you, shy.”

They sit down and have a WONDERFUL time. “That was amazing, shy! Who knew you could create such awesome sandwiches?” “Thanks, Dash.”

Rainbows face slowly inches toward Fluttershy’s face. “Rainbow? What are you doi-“ Rainbow kisses fluttershy before she can finish her sentence. They pull back.

“Whoo! We should do that more often!” Fluttershy is surprised about that last part. “M-More often?” “Yeah! Do you... wanna be my girlfriend?” Fluttershy cannot believe what she heard. Ya know what she did?

She jumped up, grabbed Rainbow Dash and kissed her. “Yes!! YES!!” They kiss. Pinkie was watching the whole thing with binoculars. “Hah! Good thing I brought this camera!

Pinkie filmed the whole thing. You can possibly predict what she will do with it.

“So, flutters, would you like to stay at my place tonight?” “Sure! You got a sleeping bag?” “Oh, we don’t need sleeping bags. We can just sleep together in my bed!” “Y-Your bed?” “Yeah! Wanna come?” “Yes!” “Alright! Let’s go then!”

They fly, holding hooves, over too Rainbow’s house. They get ready for bed. “Don’t be shy, come up!” Rainbow Dash says, on the bed. Fluttershy hops up and they snuggle together the whole night.

Their date was a success! Ight my fingers hurt Pinkie take over. “Ooh me?!” Yes now hurry up I’m typing all of this. “Ok!”

I’m pinkie pie! Hello! You just read another exciting chapter of “to the next level!” Wasn’t that FUN?! I will take over writing the next chapter! I’m nervicited, but I can do this! So long for now!

I’m proud of this chapter. :pinkiehappy:

DAMNIT PINKIE

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash could not be happier. They are having a great time as a couple! Hearts and hooves day is rounding up, and no one knows about them being together!

Well, except for ME, of course! “Yes, hello Pinkie. One tip, refer to yourself in the third person.” Ok! :pinkiehappy:

They are thinking of telling at least twilight. If they tell Rarity, who knows what would happened! Hmm! Maybe she’d prepare wedding dresses! Or take them to a fabulous dinner! Or MAYBE-

“Enough, pinkie.”

Sorry :pinkiehappy: don’t mind me!

They go over to the castle, wanting to tell Twilight.

“How do you think they’re gonna react, Rainbow?” Asked fluttershy. “Meh. We’ll find out.” Dashie isn’t very concerned.

“Doors open!” The newly installed intercom said. “Just go 2 steps to the right- you might actually want to write this down.”

Fluttershy pulls out a pen and paper. “Roger that!”

“Ok. So, 2 steps to the right, take a jump, fly, then go up to the second floor.”

“Fly?”

“Just do it. Next, go through the flaming hoop-“

“Who made these directions?!”

“Well, pinkie did. After that just yell “fluttershy is cute” and your here!”

Fluttershy did not see that coming. “EXCUSE ME?!”

“Oh yeah, only Rainbow Dash can say that or it won’t work.”

Now they knew something was up. They knew pinkie gave Twilight those directions, so this trip could possibly be worthless! “Erm, should we go then?”

Rainbow gives out a heavy sigh, wanting to kill me. “Fine. Let’s go.” They follow directions, and when they get to the last part, Rainbow is hesitant to say it.

FLUTTERSHY IS CUTE!!

She said it. Fluttershy blushes, and the doors open. The lights are out. “Um, hello?”

SURPRISE!!

The entire town was there. “Oh shi-“

Before Rainbow could get her words out, she was swarmed by ponies saying Congratulations!

This was a party. But not just any party! A PINKIE PARTY!! -written by yours truly!

“Yes pinkie, we know. *sigh*, why did I even give you the title of author?”

Because I’m THE GREATEST PONY EVER!!

Everyone was cheering and chanting
“FLUTTERDASH!!” and “RAINBOWSHY!!”
Now the couple KNEW what happened. Pinkie.

They wouldn’t take this sitting down! Or, Thrown around! Or cheered around... ooh I’m confused!

Dashie grabbed Fluttershy, held her, and said “keep away! What is this?!”

I pop up from the crowd! “It’s a party, silly! Now, who’s ready for the “mane” attraction?!”
”Third person, Pinkie! Third person!”
Everypony cheers! Fluttershy gets an idea of what that idea is “oh no...”

Remember that time a taped the picnic? I’m showing it in this story! “SHUT THAT OFF PINKIE!!”

“Sorry, dashie! I promised them this, and I won’t let them down!”

Now Dash just charged at me! Unlucky for her, I’m too fast for her! :pinkiehappy: i leaped out of the way!

“Ooh! Here comes the cute part! Wait, where’s Fluttershy?”

She is in the corner. Not very surprising! Rainbow Dash comes to comfort her. Then the best part happens! All the party ponies look over yah Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, which, were hugging each other in embarrassment!

“Cute! Now, who’s ready to PARTY EVEN MORE?!”
Big party! The two ponies eventually have to go on a stage to sing a love song together!

“Rainbow, there’s not that many love songs I know...” Fluttershy whispers. “Uh, let’s just “wing” it!”

“Ugh! Pinkie!”

They both sing a song together and, they get pretty into it! They even both fly up together and sing in the sky!

“Pinkie, THIRD PERSON.”

I’m sorry, what was that?

“Never mind.”

The crown cheers and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash realize what just happened. “Oh, um...”

“Hehe... Catchy song, right?” They both blush. “Fluttershy, you think we were too into that?” “Well, I enjoyed it! But yeah, why are we up here?”

They get down, and take a bow. Just then, mayor mare appears. “Pinkie, how did you get the mayor here?!”

“I have my ways!” “As you are aware, These 2 ponies have become great marefriends. You also know that hearts and hooves day is almost here. How’s about we do a little something special for them?”

The crown cheers. “Geez, we’ve only been together for a few days! Now this?” Fluttershy shrugs.

“Um, maybe if it’s something that involves me and Flutters being alone, sure.” “Don’t worry! You’ll have privacy.”

Well, at least they’re having fun! The party ends, and everyone leaves.

“That was both fun, and embarrassing. What do you have to say about that party?”

Fluttershy is silent. Then, she lets out a tiny, cute, and adorable

”yay.”

“Wait pinkie, how were you typing those?!”

Haven’t you seen my “finger trick?”

“Oh god no. Anyway, it might be time to switch off. Maybe I’ll let you do the chapter after the next one!”

Okey-dokey-lokey!

Alright. I’m back! I might get interrupted every once in a whi-

“Is it my turn?!”

*sigh* see you next time.
