Chapter 1

Fluttershy was sitting in her favorite seat in the back of the bar near her cottage home, The Drunken Mule, and sipping at the third appletini on her table. She usually never drinks this much but tonight was a different occasion. “Oh Angel...” She muttered miserably, swirling the remaining alcohol in the glass “Why did you have to run away...?” She asked, nopony hearing her over the extremely loud music from the front of the bar. She sighed quietly, a few unshed tears filling the brim of her eyes as she heard somepony slide into the booth across from her. “Hey Flutters, what’s the problem?” She knew that deep gruff voice all too well.

It was her good friend (and Flight School Crush) Electro Bolt, “N-No, I’m fine, Thanks for a-asking...” she said, wiping away the tears and managing to look up into the dim orange goggles covering his eyes, his orange and white mane spiked up in a messy mohawk. “W-Why are y-you here?” She asked, never having spent this long around the light blue pegasi whom she’d had feelings for every since she laid her eyes on him. “I just came to check on you” His voice cutting through the ambient sound and filling her ears, making her feel her cheeks and tips of her ears grow increasingly warm, which only increased the blush slowly spreading across her muzzle “You’ve seemed down these past few days, and I was worried that something might’ve been wrong.”

She nodded solemnly, acknowledging his worry for her and her well being, “Yes...” She said, almost too soft to be heard over the massive din still erupting from the front of the bar “Angel ran away, and I can’t find him anywhere... He must’ve ran into the E-E-E-Everfree F-F-Forest...” she hangs her head in sadness and despair as tears begin to flow unchecked down her cheeks, only making her face grow warmer in humiliation and embarrassment, sobs wracking her body as she puts her head in her hooves, crying over the loss of the bunny she loved. “Hey, don’t cry Flutters” The sound of her crush sitting across from her only increases her sobbing, as she hears him get up and feels a warm embrace surrounding her “I’ll help you find Angel, and that’s a promise”. She looks up with her tear filled baby blue eyes, stains from tears on her cheeks, as she sniffs and her blush increases.

“T-T-Thank you... Electro...” She quietly said as she leaned forward and kissed him gently, she doesn’t know why she did this, maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe the situation, but she didn’t care. She embraced him, as she felt him back away from the kiss, leaving her breathless and embarrassed from her sudden move on her one and only crush. “Flutters... How much have you had to drink?” He questions, while looking at the three glasses on the table “Because this isn’t normal for you...” She squees and hides inside her mane, her entire muzzle a bright red and warm “I-I-I-I j-j-just thought I-I-I’d t-thank you for h-h-helping me...” she managed to stammer, her entire mind clouded with thoughts of his rejection and hate, making her believe it was going to be fulfilled in the scene that lay before her. “Well, you’re welcome Flutters, do you want me to take you home...?” He asked, his ears perked in curiosity and his face slightly warm from a kiss of whom he thought was the most beautiful mare in equestria. “I-I’d be very grateful.” She said, as she felt herself helped up from the seat by his strong but gentle hoof, leading outside into the dark, cold, night.

The air crisp and fresh, a small breeze blowing through the empty streets as they walk down the sidewalk in silence, the only sounds being their hooves on the gravel and the sounds of their breathing. “So Fluttershy,” He suddenly inquired “What made you think to kiss me?”, This sudden question made her face quickly become warm against the cool breeze, “W-Well...” She muttered, “I’ve kinda always wanted that...” What was she saying? She was pretty sure that extra appletini was going to her head, she was telling her lifelong crush that she loves him, what would he do? “You’ve... what?” He said, his curiosity peaked and his face slowly growing warmer as well. She gathered up what little courage she had and managed to spit it out.

“I-I-I... I love you!” she clasped her hooves to her own mouth, surprised by her own actions once again. “I-I’m sorry Flutters... I never knew you felt that way...” His voice carried a hint of regret and a small note of sadness “Thing is... I love you too...” She heard his words clearly and with the silence that followed her eyes widened as she uncovered her mouth and stared at him, barely being able to comprehend what she was just told.
