Grass beneath her feet, sun in the blue sky, cool breeze in her hair. This is where she belonged, this is where she excelled. Rainbow Dash smiled to herself, stretching out where she lay, face up, in the centre of the pitch. Some may find it strange, but to the Canterlot High Soccer Captain, this was right. This was relaxing, and a great way to relax after a tough game.

A content sigh escaped her lips, and Rainbow closed her eyes even as footsteps approached.

"Hey Dashie."

"Hey, Shy. What's up?"

"Not a lot. Just came to find you."

"Well, ya found me."

"I did."

Rainbow reached up with a hand, waiting silently for the other girl to take it. The light spring breeze whistled it's way through her slightly parted fingers, tickled her arm and pushed at the short-sleeved breathable sports top she wore. Fluttershy took her hand, and Rainbow helped her down so they were just lying there together, peacefully, happily. It wasn't often Rainbow got to slow down, but when she did?

It was everything.

"I hope you don't mind if I take my shirt off."

"Oh! Uhm, as long as you have something on under it?"

Rainbow chuckled, practically feeling the heat from Fluttershy's reddening cheeks.

"Yeah, of course."

Rainbow let out another happy sigh as she peeled the top off her head so she lay in her sports bra and jogging shorts.

"What's the time now, anyway?"

"Uhm, Three thirty. Are you still going for a jog?"

"Nah," Rainbow shook her head, "I don't want to. I'm just happy to chill out."

Silence settled over the duo as the clouds drifted aimlessly across the sky, Rainbow's eyes occasionally switching from open, to closed, and back again, her hand twined through Fluttershy's. A few minutes passed, but it could've been half an hour for all Rainbow cared.

"Hey, Shy?"

"Yes, Rainbow?"

A pause.

"I think I love you."

Fluttershy giggled.

"I hope so, you goof."

Rainbow's smile grew somehow larger still, and she turned her head to press a kiss into Fluttershy's cheek.

Author's Note

[Reminder, notes copied from Archive]

Don't get me wrong, the initial word was good, and I do intend to use it. I just could not think of the idea today, and I knew what to do with this one already. So, simple swap, still out on time.
In other news, My MLP stuff goes of FIMfiction as well now, if you prefer that site, but Archive still takes priority.
Final thing, gonna tunnel out the Number On A Tally rewrite and then settle back onto ICMIAA. The next chapter for that is well on it's way, but I want to get the rewrite done because it's been bugging me for *weeks*
Anyway, hope you all have a great rest of your day or night,
I love you all GOODNIGHTTTT <3
