Rainbow's Secretby Derpy The MailponyChaptersThe DreamConfessionsThe SleepoverThe Dream, 2Telling The RestSurprises, Reactions and more SecretsThe DreamChapter 1: THE DREAM Rainbow Dash woke up one morning after a strange dream. She couldn't explain what it was or why she had it, but here it is anyway: Rainbow Dash was walking through town when she saw Fluttershy carrying something that seemed very heavy, and being the Element of Loyalty, she had to go help her. Rainbow flew over and asked Fluttershy "Hey, Fluttershy, need any help?" Fluttershy turned and said "Oh, hi Rainbow! Umm... yeah, I think this might be too heavy for me. Thanks!" Rainbow glided over and took the box from Fluttershy. "What's in this thing? Bricks?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy. "Actually, it is bricks! How'd you know?" "Lucky guess." Rainbow said. "So, what do you need with bricks? Are you building a wall around your cottage?" "No, I'm not building a wall. I'm building a house!" Fluttershy replied. "Oh yeah, 'cause you OBVIOUSLY don't already have a house." Rainbow replied in a sarcastic tone. When they arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, she explained why she needed the bricks. Apparently, she was building a house for some kind of animal. But Rainbow just zoned out anyways. "Yeah, I'm building it for a friend of Angels, his friend is homeless, so twilight is helping me build it!" Fluttershy said, with Rainbow still zoned out. "Yep, that's interesting." she said with a hint of sarcasm "I can't wait for it." "Rainbow, are you paying attention?" Fluttershy asked. "What?" Rainbow responded. They both stopped. Rainbow turned to look at Fluttershy, and so did she. But neither realised how close they were walking together. There lips accidentally met, and both pegusi quickly turned away and blushed. "Umm... uh." Fluttershy muttered. "Yeah, so I think I'm just gonna, ya know, drop these off here and..." Rainbow stopped talking and just flew away, leaving the heavy box of bricks and her secret crush behind. When she arrived at her house, she ran into the bathroom and stared into the mirror at herself. "What... just... happened?" She asked her reflection. She thought about the scenario in er head and the realised something. She actually LIKED having her lips touch Fluttershys, accidentally or not. She then went to her bed and (even though she was already sleeping) got into bed and closed her eyes. That's when she woke up in real life. She took a quick shower and went into town, secretly avoiding Fluttershy, even though it was just a dream. Her new-found love/crush on Fluttershy made her crazy nervous around her, especially alone with her. She tried hard to avoid her, but somehow she always ran into her, even when flying. If she had too guess, she thought that somehow, they had the same dream, but Fluttershy was more open with her emotions. This carried on for about a week before they talked about it. They were in a cafe in Sugar Cube Corner. In this very cafe, is where the following discussion happened. "Why does it seem like your starting to avoid me?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow, in the middle of the cafe. "Why does it seem like YOUR trying to purposely run into me?" Rainbow Dash replied, sounding a bit annoyed. "Well, I had this dream..." Rainbow Dashes eyes widened as she heard Fluttershy say that one sentence. "Maybe we DID have the same dream about each other! Or maybe she just always liked me. Or maybe she just found out she liked me." The possible solutions ran through her head while she sat in that cafe with her secret crush. ConfessionsChapter 2: CONFESSIONS Authors note: I highly suggest reading the first chapter before this one. Rainbow Dash was in the cafe with Fluttershy, while the scenarios of how and why Fluttershy (possibly) liked her, and why Rainbow suddenly like Fluttershy. Rainbow didn't realise how silly she looked staring into space while Fluttershy stared at her. Finally one of them talked. "So, in this dream" Rainbow asked "Were you carrying something heavy when I came over to help?" She knew it sounded silly, but Rainbow believed that her and Fluttershy had the same dream (See the dream in Chapter 1). "Yes, that's exactly what happened. How'd you know?" Fluttershy wondered. "Well... ya see. I had a dream like that. You were carrying bricks, I came to help and then..." Rainbow paused, afraid to say the rest. "And we accidentally kissed?" Fluttershy finished Rainbow's story for her. The multi-colored pegasus looked so stunned she probably looked stupid. "And then" Fluttershy continued "You flew back to your house, same with me. I stared into my mirror and realised that... umm." Fluttershy couldn't muster the courage to tell one of her best friends that she had a crush on her. But on the other hoof, Rainbow Dash did. "And realised that you... liked it?" The other pegasus finished. They slowly turned to look into each other's eyes and at the some time said, "We did have the same dream" *** Later that night, Rainbow Dash flew over to Fluttershy's cottage, hidden in the forest. She landed at the door step and knocked. She heard hoofsteps from inside and, even though it was almost unrecognizable as a sound, she heard the soft voice that belonged to the yellow pegasus say "Hello... who is it?" The rainbow pony replied "It's Rainbow. So Flutters, about tonight..." But before she caould finish her sentence, the door opened, revealing a beautiful pony. Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped as she saw fluttershy in a brand new dress, and with expertly arranged make-up walk through the door. Because Rainbow was so stunned, she didn't even notice that Fluttershy had started talking, but of course it was always hard to hear her. "So, you were saying?" Fluttershy said, with a bit of a romantic tone. "Umm.. I-I uhh..." Even though she is a proffesional dare-devil, she was completely shocked by the most shy pony in all of Equestria. "I, uhh, was s-saying that umm..." Fluttershy scilenced, and somehow, surprised her even more by planting a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Won't you come in?" Fluttershy asked. "I, uhh, sure." Rainbow Dash tried to say without stuttering. Once she got over all of the confusion and bewilderment, she asked Fluttershy what the meaning of the dress, make-up and most importantly, the kiss was. "You said you like kissing me, well in your dream at least. And I liked kissing you in MY dream, so..." She didn't even have to finish. The still surprised rainbow pegasus could see that Fluttershy made a makeshift date. She even lit candles and made a fancy meal to make it even more real. Rainbow still though she was dreaming because this was what her dreams looked like. "This is just, Wow! Can't believe your taking this 'Having the same dream' thing so seriously. Just today we both found out we like each other!" Rainbow Dash muttered, surprisingly, without stuttering. "I know it's a little fast but, I been thinking and, I've liked you a lot longer that you think. It goes back to flying school." Fluttershy than told the story of how Rainbow Dash, her best friend, stole her heart. "And I've been repressing those feelings for a LONG time so, this should ease the feelings, for now." Rainbow Dash sat down and started eating while they both discussed the dreams they had. It turns out that in Fluttershy's dream, Rainbow PURPOSELY kissed her and then acted surprised. The Fluttershy tried to stop and tell her about her feelings while she was flying away. So that did explain a LOT about why she was being so open and, you can even say, not shy! Over dinner, they talked about doing this 'date thing' as Rainbow Dash calls it, again. Both pegusi agreed to go on another date next Tuesday. "Thanks for all of this Flutters! See you tomorrow." Rainbow said as she sat up and started hovering towards the door. "Wait, Rainbow Dash. I was actually think that maybe, if it's ok with you..." 'There's the normal Fluttershy' "That maybe you can... umm." Rainbow Dash finished her sentence for her. "Spend the night at your house?" Fluttershy nodded and Rainbow Dash flew off to get some sleepover items. When she came back she welcomed herself in and when she turned around, and she was met, yet again with a kiss with Fluttershy, completely by surprise. When the kiss was broken, Rainbow Dash, again, was surprised and also shocked by Fluttershy's bold move. "Hope your ready for our little sleepover!" Fluttershy said excitedly, this being the first one she hosted. The cyan pegasus just prayed it wouldn't turn out like what she heard was Twilight's first sleepover. 'I think we'll be safe from falling tree's and horrible storms.' The SleepoverChapter 3: THE SLEEPOVER After Rainbow Dash had set up her sleeping bag, Fluttershy, her new-found lover trotted over, literally glowing with excitement. "I can't wait to hear what movie you brought!" Fluttershy squeaked through her wide smile. "Well, your gonna LOVE it!" the rainbow pegasus said, also radiating excitement. "It's... MANEHATTAN MASSACRE! Best scary movie ever! It's even in 3-D, so that just makes it better!" "I don't think I like scary movies very much but... OK, i'll give it a try!" Fluttershy said nervously, her smile starting to die down. After Fluttershy made popcorn, Rainbow Dash popped the DVD into the DVD-player, and started it. "Hey, Fluttershy! Is the popcorn done yet? I already put the movie in, and I'm about to press play!" The cyan pony said, attempting, and succeeding to make Fluttershy hurry into the room. When she sat down, some popcorn spilled over the side of the gigantic bowl the yellow pegasus had used to make way too much popcorn. "Dang Flutters, do you think we'll eat THAT much popcorn?" Rainbow asked with surprise in her voice. "Of course not, but I didn't rreally know how much we were going to need so I just made a lot, is it bad that I made so much? Did I already ruin my first sleepover? Is it burnt? Did I use too much butter? Is there enough salt? Do you..." Fluttershy continued firing questions at Rainbow until she finally got annoyed and said "It;s fine Fluttershy! No, you didn't ruin the sleepover. No, it's not burnt, no it's just enough butter and there is enough salt! Now let's just get the movie started ok? Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash didn't expect to make the other pony cry from all her yelling. "Look, I'm sorry Fluttershy! I didn't mean to yell. I'm so sorry." Rainbow planted a kiss on her favorite pony's cheek and said "There, does that make it better?" After that little kiss, Fluttershy stopped sobbing and they watched the movie in silence. Well, except the occasional shriek from Fluttershy, which happened a bit too much. Fluttershy cuddled with her mate the whole time, and Rainbow Dash enjoyed having her so close. After the movie, they played truth or dare. And of course, Rainbow Dash picked dare every time, which wasn't a very good idea. The game of Truth or Dare resulted in Fluttershy revealing many secrets, as she picked truth ever time. And because of all the things Rainbow made her say, the cyan pony also did some VERY embarrassing things. Including rolling in mud then having to take a long shower until she smelled... good. She also had to do the Cinnamon challenge and to drink her own sweat after running around for a while. Both ponies were exhausted by the time Fluttershy's clock struck midnight. That's when they went to sleep. But Fluttershy wouldn't let Rainbow sleep on the floor, so they shared a bed. Before then slept, they said goodnight. "Goodnight Fluttershy, and thanks for letting me sleep in your bed instead of on the ground." Rainbow said "No problem Rainbow Dash. Besides, we are kind of, dating now right? So we should share a bed. It's the right thing" Fluttershy said, before locking lips with her very special somepony. Before they went to bed, they realized they didn't brush their teeth, and luckily Rainbow Dash remembered her tooth brush. While they were brushing their teeth, Rainbow finished early and the stated to nuzzle into Fluttershy's neck. "Don't tell anypony about this, alright Flutters?" Rainbow asked, sounding very serious. Fluttershy nodded and they finished brushing her teeth also. When they climbed back into bed, they again kissed each other good night. They cuddled up ans started to sleep, although Rainbow Dash didn't fall asleep until about 10 minutes after Fluttershy, and while she was a wake during that time, she as thinking about how the next day was going to be. She finally couldn't stay awake any longer and practically passed out from being so tired. While she slept, she had a rather strange dream... The Dream, 2CHAPTER 4: The Dream, 2 Authors Note: I am soooooo sorry that I haven't updated this in like a week or two. I'e been busy with real life and that kid of crap. Well, here you go! Enjoy! *Beginning of Dream* "So, Fluttershy, what do you want to do today?" Rainbow Dash asked her new mate. "Oh, I don't know. Wait, I DO know! Can we go see that new movie, Ponymetheus? I hear it's really good... if that's ok that we go." Fluttershy said, rather shyly. "Of coarse it's ok Fluttershy! You don't have to ask that every time you want something. Just don't go over board like with that whole 'Iron Will' thing, ok?" The rainbow pegasus said playfully. Fluttershy responded with a small "Ok" and they went to go see when the playings were. "What! Not until 10:00! That's crazy, right Fluttershy?" Rainbow said annoyed. Fluttershy didn't respond. She didn't like it when Rainbow Dash got upset or angry about anything. "Fluttershy, are you ok? You look worried." Rainbow asked to her pegasus. "Ohh, I'm fine it's just... I don't like seeing you upset about anything. It makes me sad when your angry." Fluttershy responded, thinking that Rainbow Dash would say something such as 'HA, that's all?' or something that would upset her more. Instead, she heard her rainbow pony say... "Aww, I didn't mean to make you sad. How about we go say hi to the others, ok?" Rainbow Dash nuzzled into Fluttershy's neck, making her smile. Rainbow looked up and saw that she was blushing. "OK, let's go see Twilight, since her house is right around the corner. And are we going to tell her? About, you know... us?" Fluttershy wondered what her colorful companion would say. "Maybe tomorrow, OK Fluttershy?" The other pegasus said. "Then we'll tell the rest. Just not until tomorrow, got it?" Rainbow said, trying to make herself sound as clear as possible. "Got it... Honey." Fluttershy was surprised that she called Rainbow Dash 'Honey' in public, even though there closest friends didn't even know. "Hey, Flutters. Don't say stuff like that out in public, ok? I don't want anyone catching on before WE tell them. If news spreads that were together and our friends found out, they'll be mad that we didn't tell them first." Rainbow Dash, again sounding very serious said to the yellow pony before her. "Oh. I never thought of it that way before. I'll do my best to keep my mouth shut... for you. I mean, uhh..." Fluttershy felt stupid, after saying that right after her friend told her not to. *Facehoof* "This will take some practice." Rainbow Dash said, groaning. Later that night, after the movie "Wow, you were right Fluttershy! That movie WAS great! I'm surprised you like movies like that." The amazed, cyan pegasus said, flying a quick circle. "Well, I knew that if I got scared I would just freak out and it would've been a waste." Fluttershy responded. "D'aww, thanks Flutters!" Rainbow Dash said, playfully punching her in the shoulder ( very softly as not to hurt her at all.) They started walking away when Rainbow asked "Hey, Fluttershy, did you notice Twilight acting strange around us a couple hours ago, or was it just me?" Fluttershy stopped dead in her tracks, looking quite worried that she noticed. "Umm... no? I d-didn't notice anything w-weird about her, why ask that?" She said, it being extremely noticeable that she was freaking out at the sound of her colorful more-than-a-friend. *At Twilights House, 5 Hours Ago* *Knock Knock Knock* The sound of hoof against door almost echoed through the lavender mare's treehouse. "Spike, could you get that?" She said turning to where spike should have been "Spike? Spi-" She noticed that it was only about 6:00, but she saw the purple and green baby dragon, cuddling with his own tail in his basket. 'Oh, he's sleeping' Twilight thought to herself 'he's always cute when he sleeps' she thought again as she noticed a puddle of drool next to his head. "Oh, right, the door!" She exclaimed out load after snapping back to reality. "Oh, hello girls! Why are you here?" Twilight Sparkle said, smiling at the two. She winked at Flutershy and beckoned them into her house. "Hi Twilight, were here just to pass time before a movie that Fluttershy said she wants to see. And it's kind of a scary one, so she asked me to go too."Rainbow Dash explained, carefully not trying to give away hits about their relationship. But Twilight already knew. Flutershy told her over the phone before Rainbow woke up the morning after the sleepover. After that she crawled into bed and accidentally woke her up. The remaining time at Twilights treehouse, they just talked, and the violet unicorn WAS acting weird, because she knew they were dating and she also knew Rainbow was still trying to hide it. Before the two pegasi left, Twilight said in a happy tone, "Good luck Fluttershy!" *Back to the present (In the dream at least)* "Are you sure you didn't notice her acting weird Fluttershy? You seem like you're hiding something." Rainbow Dash said to her mate. "Umm... I-I-I..." Fluttershy was getting very worried by now, about to explode. "I-I... FINE! I told Twilight we were together before you woke up this morning over the phone and she said she was going to tell Pinke and the rest about it and they were going to throw a party in our honor for being in a relationship and I didn't get around to telling you *Deep inhale* and then you told me not to say anyhting about it and I got worried and then-then..." Fluttershy couldn't finish, and she started crying. She looked up at Rainbow Dash, whose jaw was wide open and softly said "I'm sorry." After that she ran off, thinking if she stayed she would be hated forever by the one she loved most. She ran into the Everfree Forest not knowingly and ran into a gigantic monster she couldn't even recognize. She screamed but the closest one to her was Zecora, and she lived on the complete other side of the Everfree. The last thing she saw was a giant claw coming down at her face. Her life flashed before her eyes, and couldn't stop thinking 'This is all because I told somepony about me and Rainbow.' Fluttershy awoke with a scream. Telling The RestCHAPTER 5: Telling The Rest Authors Note: Because this has gotten so popular, in my opinion at least, I will do the 6-8 chapters! leave comments if you want to help me with the next couple chapters (Ideas and stuff). Otherwise, ENJOY!!! Fluttershy awoke from her nightmare with a shriek, loud enough to be classified as an actual scream! When she screamed, Rainbow Dash, who was already awake, heard and ran, or flew, to her lover to see what the problem was. "Fluttershy, are you okay? That's the loudest I ever heard you scream!" The cyan pegasus said to her marefriend as she sat down next to her on the bed. "Did you hurt yourself? Or did you have a bad dream?" Rainbow said, sounding a bit concerned. "It-it, was a bad dream. Don't worry about it, please." Fluttershy said, trying to avoid having to explain her dream. "It's fine, all fine." Fluttershy repeated, making the colorful pony very suspicious. "Are you sure Flutters, you sound like you're hiding something. Tell me what the dream was about." Rainbow Dash said the exact words the butter yellow pegasus was hoping she would not say. "Well, tell me. I want to make sure the my marefriend is okay." Rainbow Dash was getting impatient. "Well, I- um..." Fluttershy did NOT want to tell her, but she knew if she lied to Rainbow Dash, she would feel horrible. "I, it was..." *FLUTTERSHY EXPLAINS THE DREAM* "Fluttershy, you don't have to be worried about us EVER breaking up in any way, shape or form. I'll never leave my shy little pony." Rainbow said with much more emotion than expected. She then kissed Fluttershy on the cheek and nuzzled into her neck, making Fluttershy smile and even blush a little. "Just in case that never happens, how about we tell them, all at the same time." Rainbow Dash said to her winged companion. "How will we do that?" Fluttershy wondered what Rainbow's response would be. "Well, first let's tell them all to be at here at say, 5:00 pm, then we'll tell them and hopefully they'll be okay with it. Rainbow Dash replied. Fluttershy nodded her head then went to that bathroom to take a bath then head into town, ready to tell them to meet her at her house. But as soon as she stepped into town, a familiar pink earth-pony block her way, and then started talking. "Ohh, hi Pinkie, I was just, um..." Fluttershy tried to respond to at least one of Pinkie Pie's multiple questions. "Huh, whaddya say? You were just, what? Wait, lemme guess, you were... on your way to, do, something? Is that right, huh?" Pinkie Pie started going on with more questions until the shy pegasus finally spoke up. "I was just heading over to see you. I was going to tell you to , um... come by my cottage at 5:00, if that's okay with you." Fluttershy managed to say through the rapid-fire question spree Pinkie was going on. "Okie Dokie Lokie! See ya then!" Pinkie said, and hopped down the street. 'Okay, one down, 3 to go.' Flutershy thought to herself. Fluttershy walked down the street, avoiding Sugar Cube Corner, for obvious reasons. She walked down the road that housed the mouse of ( heh, that sounds funny ) Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy walked up to the door and softly knocked on the door with her hoof. From inside the library she could here somepony, probably Twilight, talking to somepony else, probably Spike. "Coming!" Fluttershy heard a familiar voice from inside the treehouse. soon enough, a lavender unicorn opened the door with a magenta/red colored magic. "Hi Fluttershy! Do you want to check out that book I was saving for you, it just came in!?" Twilight asked Fluttershy. "Oh, no, not now but... well I was wondering, if it's okay with you, that you um... come by my house at 5:00 today." Fluttershy shy said shyly. "Okay then, see you there, are the others going too?" Twilight asked the pegasus. Fluttershy just barely nodded and walked down the street until she was in front of the Carousel Boutique. Flutteshy walked inside of the dress shop and a bell rang, and within half a second, a beautiful white unicorn was standing in front of her. "Hello darling! What brings you here on such a marvelous day?" Rarity asked the yellow pegasus. "Hi Rarity, I was wondering if you could... um, come by my house at 5:00 today, if that's okay with you." Flutteshy repeated almost the same thing she said to the other 2 ponies she saw today. "Well, yes that is okay with me, i'll see you there! Oh, before you go..." Rarity lifted a brand new hat off a table with her magic, and set it upon Fluttershy's head. "Do tell me if you like this new hat, I've been working for hours on the design, and when I started, I got the colors messed up and I had to start over. There's a mirror over there." Rarity said, pointing her hoof towards a mirror on the wall big enough to show 4 full-grown ponies their reflections all at the same time. Fluttershy walked over to it and looked at her reflection. "Wow, it's wonderful Rarity! And it's made in my favorite colors!" Fluttershy said, not realizing that her birthday was in 2 weeks, so that means the hat was a preview of her birthday present. "How long did you say it took to make it?" Fluttershy asked Rarity getting off topic. "Oh, well as I said, the design took about 2 and a half hours on the design, and I worked on it for about a half-hour before realizing I used the wrong shade of green, so I restarted from scratch, so about, let's say... 4 hours." Rarity explained to Fluttershy. "Wow, 4 hours for just one hat? Isn't that a bit long?" Fluttershy asked the white mare to her left, still off topic and wasting time. "Oh, no no no! You see, it's a very finely detailed hat, plus it's very special, and I wanted it to be absolutely flawless!" Rarity exclaimed. Fluttershy finally realized that she was wasting time and took off the hat and set it on the nearest table. "I really must get going Rarity, by the way, what time is it?" Fluttershy looked around for a clock, but couldn't find one. Rarity looked down at the watch on her, umm... wrist? (is that the right term for a horse?) "Oh, don't worry, it's only 2:46, still more than 2 hours until everypony goes to your house." Rarity said, looking up from her watch, and noticing that Fluttershy has disappeared. "Huh, I guess she was in a hurry." Rarity returned to her work. Fluttershy galloped down the street and towards Sweet Apple Acres. She was almost there when she ran into something orange and got knocked off her feet. When she looked up, she realized tat the orange 'thing; she ran into was the exact 'thing' she was looking for. "Oh, sorry Applejack, I just wanted to get here as fast as I could." Fluttershy said to orange the earth-pony lying on the ground. "Why would you do that? Is it something really important? 'Cause if it's 'bout meetin' you at your house at 5:00, Rainbow already told me to." Applejack noticed the look of relief on Fluttershy's face. "Oh, good, so you'll be there?" Fluttershy asked Applejack while starting to stand back up. "Yes Fluttershy, I'll be there. But Rainbow didn't tell me why. So, why?" Applejack was the first to ask. Fluttershy started thinking of what to say. "Um.. it's uh, a uh... surprise." Fluttershy said, making it sound like a question. Applejack just stared at her, and Fluttershy started sweating. "Oh-kay then sugarcube. See ya there." Applejack walked away, trying to forget what just happened, and Fluttershy the same. *Back at Fluttershy's Cottage, 4:30 pm* Fluttershy walked up to Rainbow Dash. "What are we going to say to them? How will they react, and will they think that it's wrong?" Fluttershy started up with rapid-fire questions toward Rainbow Dash, much like Pinkie would. "First of all, we are going to tell them that we started dating yesterday. Second, I can't tell the future, so I don't know how they will react. Third, they're our best friends, if they don't accept us because we like the same sex, then they were never truly our friends. So, just let me do the talking, and you just sit there and look cute." Rainbow Dash finished her sentence by giving Fluttershy a kiss on the cheek, then nuzzled her head into her neck. "Well, okay, as long as you're sure they won't judge us." Fluttershy said, relaxing a bit. "I promise, if they judge us, they're not going to be off our friends list, okay Flutters?" Rainbow Dash kissed her again, on the lips this time. Fluttershy backed out of the kiss to talk. "Okay Dashie." Fluttershy went back in for another kiss when she heard a knock at the door. "Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, we're here!" She could hear Pinkie's voice through the door. "Come in!" Fluttershy said barely loud enough to travel outside the door to the other ponies ears. A pink earth pony opened the door with a huge smile on her face. "Hi Fluttershy! Hi Rainbow!" Pinkie Pie said, bouncing towards them and giving them a hug. "So ,why are we all here?" Pinkie asked Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. "Well, how about you all sit down somewhere and we'll tell you." Rainbow Dash said, sounding a little less confident than when the two talked about it alone. Everypony got a chair or just sat on the floor or on Fluttershy's couch. Rainbow Dash was about to talk but she realized she had no idea of what to say.She just stood there and waited for an idea to pop into her head when suddenly... Authors Note: Ha, I'm sorry I had to end it on a cliffhanger, but I really wanted one of those in this story! So, what surprising thing will happen in the next chapter? Please, if you favorite the story, then also like it because it seems that I have more favorites on this story than likes! Surprises, Reactions and more SecretsChapter 6: Reactions Everypony got a chair or just sat on the floor or on Fluttershy's couch. Rainbow Dash was about to talk but she realized she had no idea of what to say.She just stood there and waited for an idea to pop into her head when suddenly... "Are you two dating or something?" Pinkie Pie had guessed it, but how? Neither of them had told anypony! Had she just noticed them acting different around each other? Did she somehow see them kissing? No, she must have just had a lucky guess. Rainbow Dash stepped forward and spoke. "Yes Pinkie, we are-" *GULP* "we are dating. It's only been going on for two days now, but we had to tell somepony, and if we only told one of you, the word would spread to the rest and they would think we chose one over the other, 3. So, yes, we're dating." Everypony, with Pinkie as an exception, was dumbfounded. They could not believe what had just happened. Twilight soon enough spoke up, breaking the silence. "So, you two are dating? That's..." She was cut off by Rainbow Dash. "Yes I know. It's wrong for two mares to be dating but, it just feels right." Rainbow Dash lowered her head and started walking into another room. "No, that's not at all what I was saying! I was going to say, That's wonderful! I'm so glad you two are together!" Twilight had Rainbow Dash stop in her tracks and turn around, confused. Rainbow Dash had started walking back and she noticed that Fluttershy was curled up on the floor, shielding herself with her pink mane. Rainbow Dash walked over and stood her up, taking her hoof and walking towards their friends. "Thank you for not making fun of us. We- we were really hoping that you guys wouldn't judge us." Rainbow Dash looked to the other 4 hoping for a response from at least one of them, and AppleJack was the one. "So, what in tarnation would make you think we would dislike y'all for dating somepony? It doesn't matter who it is, or what gender, but what matters is you're happy. Ans when you're happy, we're happy. Congratulations you two!" AppleJack wasn't the only one who thought that way though. Everypony was glad that the two best friends in ponyville are now dating! They even bent over backwards and planned a party that would hopefully have everypony in ponyville at it. After a bit of congratulation hugs, the two pegasi ushered the others out of the house, but one would not leave. That pony, was Twilight Sparkle. After everypony left, Twilight was planning on having a short talk with them. "Bye! See you all tomorrow! Okay, so Twi, what you wanna talk about?" Rainbow Dash asked her lavender unicorn friend. "Well, the reason that I'm happy for you two isn't only because you two are two of my best friends, but also..." Twilight gulped down her fear, she was a bout to spill one of her biggest secrets that nopony, not even her own parents knew. "I-I..." "You, what? Twilight, is there something you, um, want to tell us?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, I... I used to date somepony who was... I used to date another mare." Twilight told them her secret and that's when jaws dropped. Neither Rainbow nor Fluttershy could believe this. "So you used to date another mare? Well, what happened? Why aren't you dating anymore?" Rainbow dash wondered what her response would be. "Well, the main reason is that I had to move here, and also, I didn't want anypony finding out that I like mares. So, her and I had to break up. She was a beautiful blue and white unicorn, actually, now that I think about it, she looked a lot like Rarity. Well, I thought that somepony was on to us dating, because I saw somepony I knew from Magic School while on a date with her and..." Twilight didn't have to finish her story. They all knew what she did. She had to leave her date and soon enough, moved to ponyville. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other and smiled. "Twilight, um, you didn't have to do that. If somepony that's your friend doesn't like you because you, uh, like the same sex, they were never really you friend, I think." Fluttershy replied to her friend's story. Then she looked at a clock on the wall and noticed that time flies by when telling secrets. "Oh dear, it's almost 9:00, wait, it has been, um, 4 hours?" Fluttershy seemed confused at this fact and ushered Twilight out of her house, leaving her and Rainbow alone. "So Flutters, can I stay the night again?" Rainbow never received a verbal answer, instead a kiss from her marefriend. She spent the night, and Rainbow and Fluttershy both had dreams, but good ones. THE END or is it?
The DreamChapter 1: THE DREAM Rainbow Dash woke up one morning after a strange dream. She couldn't explain what it was or why she had it, but here it is anyway: Rainbow Dash was walking through town when she saw Fluttershy carrying something that seemed very heavy, and being the Element of Loyalty, she had to go help her. Rainbow flew over and asked Fluttershy "Hey, Fluttershy, need any help?" Fluttershy turned and said "Oh, hi Rainbow! Umm... yeah, I think this might be too heavy for me. Thanks!" Rainbow glided over and took the box from Fluttershy. "What's in this thing? Bricks?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy. "Actually, it is bricks! How'd you know?" "Lucky guess." Rainbow said. "So, what do you need with bricks? Are you building a wall around your cottage?" "No, I'm not building a wall. I'm building a house!" Fluttershy replied. "Oh yeah, 'cause you OBVIOUSLY don't already have a house." Rainbow replied in a sarcastic tone. When they arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, she explained why she needed the bricks. Apparently, she was building a house for some kind of animal. But Rainbow just zoned out anyways. "Yeah, I'm building it for a friend of Angels, his friend is homeless, so twilight is helping me build it!" Fluttershy said, with Rainbow still zoned out. "Yep, that's interesting." she said with a hint of sarcasm "I can't wait for it." "Rainbow, are you paying attention?" Fluttershy asked. "What?" Rainbow responded. They both stopped. Rainbow turned to look at Fluttershy, and so did she. But neither realised how close they were walking together. There lips accidentally met, and both pegusi quickly turned away and blushed. "Umm... uh." Fluttershy muttered. "Yeah, so I think I'm just gonna, ya know, drop these off here and..." Rainbow stopped talking and just flew away, leaving the heavy box of bricks and her secret crush behind. When she arrived at her house, she ran into the bathroom and stared into the mirror at herself. "What... just... happened?" She asked her reflection. She thought about the scenario in er head and the realised something. She actually LIKED having her lips touch Fluttershys, accidentally or not. She then went to her bed and (even though she was already sleeping) got into bed and closed her eyes. That's when she woke up in real life. She took a quick shower and went into town, secretly avoiding Fluttershy, even though it was just a dream. Her new-found love/crush on Fluttershy made her crazy nervous around her, especially alone with her. She tried hard to avoid her, but somehow she always ran into her, even when flying. If she had too guess, she thought that somehow, they had the same dream, but Fluttershy was more open with her emotions. This carried on for about a week before they talked about it. They were in a cafe in Sugar Cube Corner. In this very cafe, is where the following discussion happened. "Why does it seem like your starting to avoid me?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow, in the middle of the cafe. "Why does it seem like YOUR trying to purposely run into me?" Rainbow Dash replied, sounding a bit annoyed. "Well, I had this dream..." Rainbow Dashes eyes widened as she heard Fluttershy say that one sentence. "Maybe we DID have the same dream about each other! Or maybe she just always liked me. Or maybe she just found out she liked me." The possible solutions ran through her head while she sat in that cafe with her secret crush.
ConfessionsChapter 2: CONFESSIONS Authors note: I highly suggest reading the first chapter before this one. Rainbow Dash was in the cafe with Fluttershy, while the scenarios of how and why Fluttershy (possibly) liked her, and why Rainbow suddenly like Fluttershy. Rainbow didn't realise how silly she looked staring into space while Fluttershy stared at her. Finally one of them talked. "So, in this dream" Rainbow asked "Were you carrying something heavy when I came over to help?" She knew it sounded silly, but Rainbow believed that her and Fluttershy had the same dream (See the dream in Chapter 1). "Yes, that's exactly what happened. How'd you know?" Fluttershy wondered. "Well... ya see. I had a dream like that. You were carrying bricks, I came to help and then..." Rainbow paused, afraid to say the rest. "And we accidentally kissed?" Fluttershy finished Rainbow's story for her. The multi-colored pegasus looked so stunned she probably looked stupid. "And then" Fluttershy continued "You flew back to your house, same with me. I stared into my mirror and realised that... umm." Fluttershy couldn't muster the courage to tell one of her best friends that she had a crush on her. But on the other hoof, Rainbow Dash did. "And realised that you... liked it?" The other pegasus finished. They slowly turned to look into each other's eyes and at the some time said, "We did have the same dream" *** Later that night, Rainbow Dash flew over to Fluttershy's cottage, hidden in the forest. She landed at the door step and knocked. She heard hoofsteps from inside and, even though it was almost unrecognizable as a sound, she heard the soft voice that belonged to the yellow pegasus say "Hello... who is it?" The rainbow pony replied "It's Rainbow. So Flutters, about tonight..." But before she caould finish her sentence, the door opened, revealing a beautiful pony. Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped as she saw fluttershy in a brand new dress, and with expertly arranged make-up walk through the door. Because Rainbow was so stunned, she didn't even notice that Fluttershy had started talking, but of course it was always hard to hear her. "So, you were saying?" Fluttershy said, with a bit of a romantic tone. "Umm.. I-I uhh..." Even though she is a proffesional dare-devil, she was completely shocked by the most shy pony in all of Equestria. "I, uhh, was s-saying that umm..." Fluttershy scilenced, and somehow, surprised her even more by planting a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Won't you come in?" Fluttershy asked. "I, uhh, sure." Rainbow Dash tried to say without stuttering. Once she got over all of the confusion and bewilderment, she asked Fluttershy what the meaning of the dress, make-up and most importantly, the kiss was. "You said you like kissing me, well in your dream at least. And I liked kissing you in MY dream, so..." She didn't even have to finish. The still surprised rainbow pegasus could see that Fluttershy made a makeshift date. She even lit candles and made a fancy meal to make it even more real. Rainbow still though she was dreaming because this was what her dreams looked like. "This is just, Wow! Can't believe your taking this 'Having the same dream' thing so seriously. Just today we both found out we like each other!" Rainbow Dash muttered, surprisingly, without stuttering. "I know it's a little fast but, I been thinking and, I've liked you a lot longer that you think. It goes back to flying school." Fluttershy than told the story of how Rainbow Dash, her best friend, stole her heart. "And I've been repressing those feelings for a LONG time so, this should ease the feelings, for now." Rainbow Dash sat down and started eating while they both discussed the dreams they had. It turns out that in Fluttershy's dream, Rainbow PURPOSELY kissed her and then acted surprised. The Fluttershy tried to stop and tell her about her feelings while she was flying away. So that did explain a LOT about why she was being so open and, you can even say, not shy! Over dinner, they talked about doing this 'date thing' as Rainbow Dash calls it, again. Both pegusi agreed to go on another date next Tuesday. "Thanks for all of this Flutters! See you tomorrow." Rainbow said as she sat up and started hovering towards the door. "Wait, Rainbow Dash. I was actually think that maybe, if it's ok with you..." 'There's the normal Fluttershy' "That maybe you can... umm." Rainbow Dash finished her sentence for her. "Spend the night at your house?" Fluttershy nodded and Rainbow Dash flew off to get some sleepover items. When she came back she welcomed herself in and when she turned around, and she was met, yet again with a kiss with Fluttershy, completely by surprise. When the kiss was broken, Rainbow Dash, again, was surprised and also shocked by Fluttershy's bold move. "Hope your ready for our little sleepover!" Fluttershy said excitedly, this being the first one she hosted. The cyan pegasus just prayed it wouldn't turn out like what she heard was Twilight's first sleepover. 'I think we'll be safe from falling tree's and horrible storms.'
The SleepoverChapter 3: THE SLEEPOVER After Rainbow Dash had set up her sleeping bag, Fluttershy, her new-found lover trotted over, literally glowing with excitement. "I can't wait to hear what movie you brought!" Fluttershy squeaked through her wide smile. "Well, your gonna LOVE it!" the rainbow pegasus said, also radiating excitement. "It's... MANEHATTAN MASSACRE! Best scary movie ever! It's even in 3-D, so that just makes it better!" "I don't think I like scary movies very much but... OK, i'll give it a try!" Fluttershy said nervously, her smile starting to die down. After Fluttershy made popcorn, Rainbow Dash popped the DVD into the DVD-player, and started it. "Hey, Fluttershy! Is the popcorn done yet? I already put the movie in, and I'm about to press play!" The cyan pony said, attempting, and succeeding to make Fluttershy hurry into the room. When she sat down, some popcorn spilled over the side of the gigantic bowl the yellow pegasus had used to make way too much popcorn. "Dang Flutters, do you think we'll eat THAT much popcorn?" Rainbow asked with surprise in her voice. "Of course not, but I didn't rreally know how much we were going to need so I just made a lot, is it bad that I made so much? Did I already ruin my first sleepover? Is it burnt? Did I use too much butter? Is there enough salt? Do you..." Fluttershy continued firing questions at Rainbow until she finally got annoyed and said "It;s fine Fluttershy! No, you didn't ruin the sleepover. No, it's not burnt, no it's just enough butter and there is enough salt! Now let's just get the movie started ok? Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash didn't expect to make the other pony cry from all her yelling. "Look, I'm sorry Fluttershy! I didn't mean to yell. I'm so sorry." Rainbow planted a kiss on her favorite pony's cheek and said "There, does that make it better?" After that little kiss, Fluttershy stopped sobbing and they watched the movie in silence. Well, except the occasional shriek from Fluttershy, which happened a bit too much. Fluttershy cuddled with her mate the whole time, and Rainbow Dash enjoyed having her so close. After the movie, they played truth or dare. And of course, Rainbow Dash picked dare every time, which wasn't a very good idea. The game of Truth or Dare resulted in Fluttershy revealing many secrets, as she picked truth ever time. And because of all the things Rainbow made her say, the cyan pony also did some VERY embarrassing things. Including rolling in mud then having to take a long shower until she smelled... good. She also had to do the Cinnamon challenge and to drink her own sweat after running around for a while. Both ponies were exhausted by the time Fluttershy's clock struck midnight. That's when they went to sleep. But Fluttershy wouldn't let Rainbow sleep on the floor, so they shared a bed. Before then slept, they said goodnight. "Goodnight Fluttershy, and thanks for letting me sleep in your bed instead of on the ground." Rainbow said "No problem Rainbow Dash. Besides, we are kind of, dating now right? So we should share a bed. It's the right thing" Fluttershy said, before locking lips with her very special somepony. Before they went to bed, they realized they didn't brush their teeth, and luckily Rainbow Dash remembered her tooth brush. While they were brushing their teeth, Rainbow finished early and the stated to nuzzle into Fluttershy's neck. "Don't tell anypony about this, alright Flutters?" Rainbow asked, sounding very serious. Fluttershy nodded and they finished brushing her teeth also. When they climbed back into bed, they again kissed each other good night. They cuddled up ans started to sleep, although Rainbow Dash didn't fall asleep until about 10 minutes after Fluttershy, and while she was a wake during that time, she as thinking about how the next day was going to be. She finally couldn't stay awake any longer and practically passed out from being so tired. While she slept, she had a rather strange dream...
The Dream, 2CHAPTER 4: The Dream, 2 Authors Note: I am soooooo sorry that I haven't updated this in like a week or two. I'e been busy with real life and that kid of crap. Well, here you go! Enjoy! *Beginning of Dream* "So, Fluttershy, what do you want to do today?" Rainbow Dash asked her new mate. "Oh, I don't know. Wait, I DO know! Can we go see that new movie, Ponymetheus? I hear it's really good... if that's ok that we go." Fluttershy said, rather shyly. "Of coarse it's ok Fluttershy! You don't have to ask that every time you want something. Just don't go over board like with that whole 'Iron Will' thing, ok?" The rainbow pegasus said playfully. Fluttershy responded with a small "Ok" and they went to go see when the playings were. "What! Not until 10:00! That's crazy, right Fluttershy?" Rainbow said annoyed. Fluttershy didn't respond. She didn't like it when Rainbow Dash got upset or angry about anything. "Fluttershy, are you ok? You look worried." Rainbow asked to her pegasus. "Ohh, I'm fine it's just... I don't like seeing you upset about anything. It makes me sad when your angry." Fluttershy responded, thinking that Rainbow Dash would say something such as 'HA, that's all?' or something that would upset her more. Instead, she heard her rainbow pony say... "Aww, I didn't mean to make you sad. How about we go say hi to the others, ok?" Rainbow Dash nuzzled into Fluttershy's neck, making her smile. Rainbow looked up and saw that she was blushing. "OK, let's go see Twilight, since her house is right around the corner. And are we going to tell her? About, you know... us?" Fluttershy wondered what her colorful companion would say. "Maybe tomorrow, OK Fluttershy?" The other pegasus said. "Then we'll tell the rest. Just not until tomorrow, got it?" Rainbow said, trying to make herself sound as clear as possible. "Got it... Honey." Fluttershy was surprised that she called Rainbow Dash 'Honey' in public, even though there closest friends didn't even know. "Hey, Flutters. Don't say stuff like that out in public, ok? I don't want anyone catching on before WE tell them. If news spreads that were together and our friends found out, they'll be mad that we didn't tell them first." Rainbow Dash, again sounding very serious said to the yellow pony before her. "Oh. I never thought of it that way before. I'll do my best to keep my mouth shut... for you. I mean, uhh..." Fluttershy felt stupid, after saying that right after her friend told her not to. *Facehoof* "This will take some practice." Rainbow Dash said, groaning. Later that night, after the movie "Wow, you were right Fluttershy! That movie WAS great! I'm surprised you like movies like that." The amazed, cyan pegasus said, flying a quick circle. "Well, I knew that if I got scared I would just freak out and it would've been a waste." Fluttershy responded. "D'aww, thanks Flutters!" Rainbow Dash said, playfully punching her in the shoulder ( very softly as not to hurt her at all.) They started walking away when Rainbow asked "Hey, Fluttershy, did you notice Twilight acting strange around us a couple hours ago, or was it just me?" Fluttershy stopped dead in her tracks, looking quite worried that she noticed. "Umm... no? I d-didn't notice anything w-weird about her, why ask that?" She said, it being extremely noticeable that she was freaking out at the sound of her colorful more-than-a-friend. *At Twilights House, 5 Hours Ago* *Knock Knock Knock* The sound of hoof against door almost echoed through the lavender mare's treehouse. "Spike, could you get that?" She said turning to where spike should have been "Spike? Spi-" She noticed that it was only about 6:00, but she saw the purple and green baby dragon, cuddling with his own tail in his basket. 'Oh, he's sleeping' Twilight thought to herself 'he's always cute when he sleeps' she thought again as she noticed a puddle of drool next to his head. "Oh, right, the door!" She exclaimed out load after snapping back to reality. "Oh, hello girls! Why are you here?" Twilight Sparkle said, smiling at the two. She winked at Flutershy and beckoned them into her house. "Hi Twilight, were here just to pass time before a movie that Fluttershy said she wants to see. And it's kind of a scary one, so she asked me to go too."Rainbow Dash explained, carefully not trying to give away hits about their relationship. But Twilight already knew. Flutershy told her over the phone before Rainbow woke up the morning after the sleepover. After that she crawled into bed and accidentally woke her up. The remaining time at Twilights treehouse, they just talked, and the violet unicorn WAS acting weird, because she knew they were dating and she also knew Rainbow was still trying to hide it. Before the two pegasi left, Twilight said in a happy tone, "Good luck Fluttershy!" *Back to the present (In the dream at least)* "Are you sure you didn't notice her acting weird Fluttershy? You seem like you're hiding something." Rainbow Dash said to her mate. "Umm... I-I-I..." Fluttershy was getting very worried by now, about to explode. "I-I... FINE! I told Twilight we were together before you woke up this morning over the phone and she said she was going to tell Pinke and the rest about it and they were going to throw a party in our honor for being in a relationship and I didn't get around to telling you *Deep inhale* and then you told me not to say anyhting about it and I got worried and then-then..." Fluttershy couldn't finish, and she started crying. She looked up at Rainbow Dash, whose jaw was wide open and softly said "I'm sorry." After that she ran off, thinking if she stayed she would be hated forever by the one she loved most. She ran into the Everfree Forest not knowingly and ran into a gigantic monster she couldn't even recognize. She screamed but the closest one to her was Zecora, and she lived on the complete other side of the Everfree. The last thing she saw was a giant claw coming down at her face. Her life flashed before her eyes, and couldn't stop thinking 'This is all because I told somepony about me and Rainbow.' Fluttershy awoke with a scream.
Telling The RestCHAPTER 5: Telling The Rest Authors Note: Because this has gotten so popular, in my opinion at least, I will do the 6-8 chapters! leave comments if you want to help me with the next couple chapters (Ideas and stuff). Otherwise, ENJOY!!! Fluttershy awoke from her nightmare with a shriek, loud enough to be classified as an actual scream! When she screamed, Rainbow Dash, who was already awake, heard and ran, or flew, to her lover to see what the problem was. "Fluttershy, are you okay? That's the loudest I ever heard you scream!" The cyan pegasus said to her marefriend as she sat down next to her on the bed. "Did you hurt yourself? Or did you have a bad dream?" Rainbow said, sounding a bit concerned. "It-it, was a bad dream. Don't worry about it, please." Fluttershy said, trying to avoid having to explain her dream. "It's fine, all fine." Fluttershy repeated, making the colorful pony very suspicious. "Are you sure Flutters, you sound like you're hiding something. Tell me what the dream was about." Rainbow Dash said the exact words the butter yellow pegasus was hoping she would not say. "Well, tell me. I want to make sure the my marefriend is okay." Rainbow Dash was getting impatient. "Well, I- um..." Fluttershy did NOT want to tell her, but she knew if she lied to Rainbow Dash, she would feel horrible. "I, it was..." *FLUTTERSHY EXPLAINS THE DREAM* "Fluttershy, you don't have to be worried about us EVER breaking up in any way, shape or form. I'll never leave my shy little pony." Rainbow said with much more emotion than expected. She then kissed Fluttershy on the cheek and nuzzled into her neck, making Fluttershy smile and even blush a little. "Just in case that never happens, how about we tell them, all at the same time." Rainbow Dash said to her winged companion. "How will we do that?" Fluttershy wondered what Rainbow's response would be. "Well, first let's tell them all to be at here at say, 5:00 pm, then we'll tell them and hopefully they'll be okay with it. Rainbow Dash replied. Fluttershy nodded her head then went to that bathroom to take a bath then head into town, ready to tell them to meet her at her house. But as soon as she stepped into town, a familiar pink earth-pony block her way, and then started talking. "Ohh, hi Pinkie, I was just, um..." Fluttershy tried to respond to at least one of Pinkie Pie's multiple questions. "Huh, whaddya say? You were just, what? Wait, lemme guess, you were... on your way to, do, something? Is that right, huh?" Pinkie Pie started going on with more questions until the shy pegasus finally spoke up. "I was just heading over to see you. I was going to tell you to , um... come by my cottage at 5:00, if that's okay with you." Fluttershy managed to say through the rapid-fire question spree Pinkie was going on. "Okie Dokie Lokie! See ya then!" Pinkie said, and hopped down the street. 'Okay, one down, 3 to go.' Flutershy thought to herself. Fluttershy walked down the street, avoiding Sugar Cube Corner, for obvious reasons. She walked down the road that housed the mouse of ( heh, that sounds funny ) Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy walked up to the door and softly knocked on the door with her hoof. From inside the library she could here somepony, probably Twilight, talking to somepony else, probably Spike. "Coming!" Fluttershy heard a familiar voice from inside the treehouse. soon enough, a lavender unicorn opened the door with a magenta/red colored magic. "Hi Fluttershy! Do you want to check out that book I was saving for you, it just came in!?" Twilight asked Fluttershy. "Oh, no, not now but... well I was wondering, if it's okay with you, that you um... come by my house at 5:00 today." Fluttershy shy said shyly. "Okay then, see you there, are the others going too?" Twilight asked the pegasus. Fluttershy just barely nodded and walked down the street until she was in front of the Carousel Boutique. Flutteshy walked inside of the dress shop and a bell rang, and within half a second, a beautiful white unicorn was standing in front of her. "Hello darling! What brings you here on such a marvelous day?" Rarity asked the yellow pegasus. "Hi Rarity, I was wondering if you could... um, come by my house at 5:00 today, if that's okay with you." Flutteshy repeated almost the same thing she said to the other 2 ponies she saw today. "Well, yes that is okay with me, i'll see you there! Oh, before you go..." Rarity lifted a brand new hat off a table with her magic, and set it upon Fluttershy's head. "Do tell me if you like this new hat, I've been working for hours on the design, and when I started, I got the colors messed up and I had to start over. There's a mirror over there." Rarity said, pointing her hoof towards a mirror on the wall big enough to show 4 full-grown ponies their reflections all at the same time. Fluttershy walked over to it and looked at her reflection. "Wow, it's wonderful Rarity! And it's made in my favorite colors!" Fluttershy said, not realizing that her birthday was in 2 weeks, so that means the hat was a preview of her birthday present. "How long did you say it took to make it?" Fluttershy asked Rarity getting off topic. "Oh, well as I said, the design took about 2 and a half hours on the design, and I worked on it for about a half-hour before realizing I used the wrong shade of green, so I restarted from scratch, so about, let's say... 4 hours." Rarity explained to Fluttershy. "Wow, 4 hours for just one hat? Isn't that a bit long?" Fluttershy asked the white mare to her left, still off topic and wasting time. "Oh, no no no! You see, it's a very finely detailed hat, plus it's very special, and I wanted it to be absolutely flawless!" Rarity exclaimed. Fluttershy finally realized that she was wasting time and took off the hat and set it on the nearest table. "I really must get going Rarity, by the way, what time is it?" Fluttershy looked around for a clock, but couldn't find one. Rarity looked down at the watch on her, umm... wrist? (is that the right term for a horse?) "Oh, don't worry, it's only 2:46, still more than 2 hours until everypony goes to your house." Rarity said, looking up from her watch, and noticing that Fluttershy has disappeared. "Huh, I guess she was in a hurry." Rarity returned to her work. Fluttershy galloped down the street and towards Sweet Apple Acres. She was almost there when she ran into something orange and got knocked off her feet. When she looked up, she realized tat the orange 'thing; she ran into was the exact 'thing' she was looking for. "Oh, sorry Applejack, I just wanted to get here as fast as I could." Fluttershy said to orange the earth-pony lying on the ground. "Why would you do that? Is it something really important? 'Cause if it's 'bout meetin' you at your house at 5:00, Rainbow already told me to." Applejack noticed the look of relief on Fluttershy's face. "Oh, good, so you'll be there?" Fluttershy asked Applejack while starting to stand back up. "Yes Fluttershy, I'll be there. But Rainbow didn't tell me why. So, why?" Applejack was the first to ask. Fluttershy started thinking of what to say. "Um.. it's uh, a uh... surprise." Fluttershy said, making it sound like a question. Applejack just stared at her, and Fluttershy started sweating. "Oh-kay then sugarcube. See ya there." Applejack walked away, trying to forget what just happened, and Fluttershy the same. *Back at Fluttershy's Cottage, 4:30 pm* Fluttershy walked up to Rainbow Dash. "What are we going to say to them? How will they react, and will they think that it's wrong?" Fluttershy started up with rapid-fire questions toward Rainbow Dash, much like Pinkie would. "First of all, we are going to tell them that we started dating yesterday. Second, I can't tell the future, so I don't know how they will react. Third, they're our best friends, if they don't accept us because we like the same sex, then they were never truly our friends. So, just let me do the talking, and you just sit there and look cute." Rainbow Dash finished her sentence by giving Fluttershy a kiss on the cheek, then nuzzled her head into her neck. "Well, okay, as long as you're sure they won't judge us." Fluttershy said, relaxing a bit. "I promise, if they judge us, they're not going to be off our friends list, okay Flutters?" Rainbow Dash kissed her again, on the lips this time. Fluttershy backed out of the kiss to talk. "Okay Dashie." Fluttershy went back in for another kiss when she heard a knock at the door. "Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, we're here!" She could hear Pinkie's voice through the door. "Come in!" Fluttershy said barely loud enough to travel outside the door to the other ponies ears. A pink earth pony opened the door with a huge smile on her face. "Hi Fluttershy! Hi Rainbow!" Pinkie Pie said, bouncing towards them and giving them a hug. "So ,why are we all here?" Pinkie asked Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. "Well, how about you all sit down somewhere and we'll tell you." Rainbow Dash said, sounding a little less confident than when the two talked about it alone. Everypony got a chair or just sat on the floor or on Fluttershy's couch. Rainbow Dash was about to talk but she realized she had no idea of what to say.She just stood there and waited for an idea to pop into her head when suddenly... Authors Note: Ha, I'm sorry I had to end it on a cliffhanger, but I really wanted one of those in this story! So, what surprising thing will happen in the next chapter? Please, if you favorite the story, then also like it because it seems that I have more favorites on this story than likes!
Surprises, Reactions and more SecretsChapter 6: Reactions Everypony got a chair or just sat on the floor or on Fluttershy's couch. Rainbow Dash was about to talk but she realized she had no idea of what to say.She just stood there and waited for an idea to pop into her head when suddenly... "Are you two dating or something?" Pinkie Pie had guessed it, but how? Neither of them had told anypony! Had she just noticed them acting different around each other? Did she somehow see them kissing? No, she must have just had a lucky guess. Rainbow Dash stepped forward and spoke. "Yes Pinkie, we are-" *GULP* "we are dating. It's only been going on for two days now, but we had to tell somepony, and if we only told one of you, the word would spread to the rest and they would think we chose one over the other, 3. So, yes, we're dating." Everypony, with Pinkie as an exception, was dumbfounded. They could not believe what had just happened. Twilight soon enough spoke up, breaking the silence. "So, you two are dating? That's..." She was cut off by Rainbow Dash. "Yes I know. It's wrong for two mares to be dating but, it just feels right." Rainbow Dash lowered her head and started walking into another room. "No, that's not at all what I was saying! I was going to say, That's wonderful! I'm so glad you two are together!" Twilight had Rainbow Dash stop in her tracks and turn around, confused. Rainbow Dash had started walking back and she noticed that Fluttershy was curled up on the floor, shielding herself with her pink mane. Rainbow Dash walked over and stood her up, taking her hoof and walking towards their friends. "Thank you for not making fun of us. We- we were really hoping that you guys wouldn't judge us." Rainbow Dash looked to the other 4 hoping for a response from at least one of them, and AppleJack was the one. "So, what in tarnation would make you think we would dislike y'all for dating somepony? It doesn't matter who it is, or what gender, but what matters is you're happy. Ans when you're happy, we're happy. Congratulations you two!" AppleJack wasn't the only one who thought that way though. Everypony was glad that the two best friends in ponyville are now dating! They even bent over backwards and planned a party that would hopefully have everypony in ponyville at it. After a bit of congratulation hugs, the two pegasi ushered the others out of the house, but one would not leave. That pony, was Twilight Sparkle. After everypony left, Twilight was planning on having a short talk with them. "Bye! See you all tomorrow! Okay, so Twi, what you wanna talk about?" Rainbow Dash asked her lavender unicorn friend. "Well, the reason that I'm happy for you two isn't only because you two are two of my best friends, but also..." Twilight gulped down her fear, she was a bout to spill one of her biggest secrets that nopony, not even her own parents knew. "I-I..." "You, what? Twilight, is there something you, um, want to tell us?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, I... I used to date somepony who was... I used to date another mare." Twilight told them her secret and that's when jaws dropped. Neither Rainbow nor Fluttershy could believe this. "So you used to date another mare? Well, what happened? Why aren't you dating anymore?" Rainbow dash wondered what her response would be. "Well, the main reason is that I had to move here, and also, I didn't want anypony finding out that I like mares. So, her and I had to break up. She was a beautiful blue and white unicorn, actually, now that I think about it, she looked a lot like Rarity. Well, I thought that somepony was on to us dating, because I saw somepony I knew from Magic School while on a date with her and..." Twilight didn't have to finish her story. They all knew what she did. She had to leave her date and soon enough, moved to ponyville. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other and smiled. "Twilight, um, you didn't have to do that. If somepony that's your friend doesn't like you because you, uh, like the same sex, they were never really you friend, I think." Fluttershy replied to her friend's story. Then she looked at a clock on the wall and noticed that time flies by when telling secrets. "Oh dear, it's almost 9:00, wait, it has been, um, 4 hours?" Fluttershy seemed confused at this fact and ushered Twilight out of her house, leaving her and Rainbow alone. "So Flutters, can I stay the night again?" Rainbow never received a verbal answer, instead a kiss from her marefriend. She spent the night, and Rainbow and Fluttershy both had dreams, but good ones. THE END or is it?
