Hi again everyone. Hope you guys enjoyed chapter 18. I want to finish this story before I go to Peru for Christmas, just so you all have an idea of how much longer it will go on. Let's see if that actually happens though. I will do my best.

Rainbow Dash was lying on the living room floor, eyes shut as she groaned in pain. "Son of a donkey my back hurts!" she complained out loud. She huffed out some hot air as her wings flapped helplessly of their own free will. She tried to lift herself up and heard her spine crack, easing the tension. A very naughty Angel Bunny hopped over to her face, holding a pink feather. She snarled at the rabbit, who grinned evilly back as he tickled her nose with it. She wiggled her nose about until she sneezed, causing her back more pain. She growled at the bunny who pointed his paw at her and laughed.

Fluttershy came running into the living room, a bottle of muscle cream held in her mouth. She screeched to a stop, eyes full of worry. Angel quickly hopped away once he caught sight of her. She placed the bottle next to her mare friend on the floor and sat down. "Oh Rainbow Dash, I told you it was a bad idea to carry all those trophies downstairs. We should have left them, or at least have gotten Big Mac to help." Fluttershy whined in her worried tone as she squeezed some cream on her hooves.

Rainbow's pride shown as she turned her head away from her mare friend's words, "Hay no Shy. I want the world to see my lady's a world champ! You can't keep on being so modest! Besides, I moved them just fine, you don't need another pony around the house, that's what I'm for." The cyan mare defended as she winced in pain. "To do all the tough stuff for you." She finished, her voice trying to hide the pain.

Fluttershy rolled her eyes at how her lover always wanted to show off. A brief thought of Applejack's stubbornness wearing off on her crossed her mind as she focused on the blue back. "But Dashie, what if you have a hernia, or muscle spasms, or a disc sticking out? I just couldn't live with myself if you did." She started rubbing the cream from the bottom up along the sides of her spine. She placed gentle but firm pressure, hearing sounds of relief from the rainbow mare.

Rainbow felt bliss as her sweetheart massaged her aching back. "Thanks babe." She muttered out as she enjoyed the relief it brought as the cold sensation turned to a heating one. Fluttershy was grunting as she put her weight into it, sitting on Dash's flank and pushing forward to stretch her spine. "Come on, you gotta admit, I look good lifting all these things for you." Dash teased between massages, her pain melting away. Fluttershy made a little groan at the words as she continued her work, "You do have such an amazing body, and when you use those muscles, it just, you know…" Fluttershy admitted embarrassed. To which the proud pegasus smiled all the more to. She massaged the knots out as Rainbow sang her praise, the animal care taker feeling every part of her back for any bulges or other problems. Each time Dash took a breath, Fluttershy would press down on her back, making it crack more.

Fluttershy stood up to the side of her lover, "Very carefully flip over." Fluttershy ordered in a motherly tone. Rainbow Dash did just that. "Now when I tell you to, take a deep breath and exhale." Fluttershy explained as she grabbed the underside of Dash's right thing with one hoof and kept the other on her left shoulder. "Alright, go!" the yellow mare called out. The weather pony did as told, Fluttershy twisting her body, causing a very loud crack and a huge gasp of ecstasy from the flashy pegasus. Fluttershy continued in the opposite direction, gaining the same reaction.

Rainbow Dash made some high pitched sighs as the pain and tension left her back. She looked up with grateful eyes at the loving face that was smiling at her. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much Fluttershy. Seriously, you are an angel, my angel." Fluttershy lightly placed her hoof on Dash's chest as she rubbed small circles on her, giving her a relaxing chest rub. "Of course my dear. That's what lovers do, they take care of each other." She bent her head low and planted a soft kiss, to which Rainbow Dash reached out her hooves to hold the slightly blushing face there to tenderly hold as she deepened the kiss.

They finally pulled apart, Rainbow Dash still resting on her back with a happy look on her face. Fluttershy grabbed a big pillow, lifting her mare friend's upper body to place it under her lower back. "Ok my big strong Dashie, I want you to just lay still for 15 minutes to let your back stretch please. And how about I make us a nice tasty omelet for breakfast?" Fluttershy suggested as she fluffed the pillow for good measure.

Dash was enjoying her treatment, no one took better care of her and spoiled her like Fluttershy. "Awe but Shy, 15 minutes is too long! I'll be bored to death." She complained as Fluttershy placed a thin sky blue blanket on her. "But breakfast sounds good. I'm starved." She finished, remembering her manners.

Fluttershy walked over to be standing behind her head. She brought it low so her lover could play with the pink locks, "Oh come on Dashie, I just want to make sure your back is ok. Just take it easy for the rest of the day. Just for me, pretty please?" she cooed in a tone she always tried on Angel when he wanted to play instead of eat. Rainbow Dash seemed to cave into the cuteness much easier than the rabbit. "No fair Flutters, you know I can't say no to that pout and those big beautiful eyes." She said defeated.

Fluttershy smiled at the compliment, her cheeks turning rosy again. Dash was happy she could still get her mare friend to blush with a simple compliment. Fluttershy scoffed at the ground, "W-well, you have the most beautiful eyes to Dashie. Oh, and such an encouraging smile, I love to see it." She said softly. Rainbow waved a hoof in the air, "How many times do I have to tell you Shy, you're the beautiful one. I'm just amazingly awesome. There's a difference." She corrected.

Fluttershy giggled as she nuzzled the side of Rainbow's face, who nuzzled back as she enjoyed the contact. "Well, if you don't mind me saying, I think you are amazingly awesome, and very beautiful. Actually, I know so." She shot back, a look of defiance in her eyes. Rainbow Dash felt her confidence go even higher at knowing her mare friend was pleased with her style and looks. "I'll just start on breakfast. Angel Bunny, will you please help mama in the kitchen?" she called out softly.

The rabbit hopped over to his adoptive mother, snuggling her hoof. She picked him up and cuddled back. He made a face to the resting pegasus on the floor as Fluttershy continued to shower the rabbit with compliments. Rainbow made an annoyed face, "I swear he could get away with murder in her eyes. What does she see in that pest?" she wondered in her mind.

Fluttershy and Angel left to the kitchen as Tank suddenly appeared, holding the new sports illustrated magazine, pegasus edition, in his teeth. "Tank! My man, my buddy, a real pet and friend. Thanks bro, you read my mind." She said with a smiled as he dropped the magazine in her stretched out hoof. She gave the tortoise a quick bro hoof, he then went to take a quick nap in his shell near his owner. She opened up the magazine, eyes reading each word hungrily, "Hm, I wonder if they have any new stuff on the Wonderbolts?" she said to herself.

After her little stretch on the ground, Fluttershy came back to retrieve her for breakfast. They ate happily, after which they tidied up the kitchen. "Thanks again for fixing my back up Shy, it feels tons better." Rainbow thanked as she wrapped her love in a tight embrace. Fluttershy shut her eyes and snuggled into the warm hold, letting her mind go blank as her body just felt the presence of her lover. Rainbow stood up, giving her back one more stretch, "How about we enter back into that trophy room and admire my work and your talents one more time." Dash suggested eagerly.

Fluttershy gave her a curious look, "Ok Dashie. If that's what you want to do." Fluttershy replied with a smile as she followed her mare friend. Fluttershy had a smaller room in her cottage that she dedicated to holding her extra change of linens and decorations. Rainbow thought it better for those items to be held in the hallway closets and attic, while the heavier trophies could be kept in the room, making a trophy room for all of Fluttershy's awards. After all, Rainbow Dash had a big room in her cloud home filled with all of her accomplishments since she was a little filly.

They walked into the small room to see Fluttershy's diploma from flight school complete with honors, her certificate of completion of flight training from young fliers summer camp, a royal decree as an official bearer of the Elements of Harmony, certified animal care taker and animal first aid, and all her Silence is Golden trophies, one at each corner of the room, and the latest one in the middle. Fluttershy hid behind her mane, not liking to be a show off, as Rainbow Dash placed her wing over her.

"A good start if I say so myself baby. But I think we need to work on getting you more. Hm, I wonder what competitions you would be good at? Oh, oh, definitely a cooking competition. That's for sure." Rainbow thought aloud as she lead Fluttershy deeper into the room to look at her achievements. Fluttershy parted from her lover to straighten her diploma that hung on the wall as Rainbow Dash flew to get a bird's eye view of the trophies.

She looked into one, and something caught her eye. She stuck the top half of her body in, her rainbow tail flicking in agitation, "Hey Fluttershy, what's this?" Rainbow asked in an echo like voice as she pulled out the dusty old book. Fluttershy looked back curiously as she walked toward the now nosey pegasus. Dash cough up a bit of dust, "You need to keep all this stuff polished, and not in some dusty old attic." Dash said in a motherly Fluttershy voice as she snickered.

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow at the hypocrisy, shaking her head and rolling her eyes as she sat down and took the book politely from her fellow pegasus. As she dusted it, realization hit her eyes, a small frown on her face, "Oh, I have been wondering where this went. It's my year book, from my final year." Dash nodded in realization, that was the year she dropped out and had to leave Fluttershy to fend for herself in that cruel place.

Fluttershy looked at her with kind eyes as she scooted to be seated next to her. Rainbow sat tall, pushing back the bad memories of being so angry at being kicked out, trying to get the heated and constricting feeling put of her chest. She didn't want to feel that way after so many years, especially now that she has Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked back down to the ground as she spoke, "Would you like to take a look at it Rainbow?" she asked hesitantly, not sure if the book was now welcomed to the cyan mare.

Rainbow smiled softly, deciding that she never got the chance to buy one, and thought she should be able to remember some good things. "Sure Shy. Let me have a look see." She said as she took back the year book and flipped through pages. Fluttershy cuddled into her side and looked on quietly as the weather mare explored. Rainbow gave a small chuckle at remembering the sports teams she was on, some decent friends made there, none as long lasting as the ones she had now, but young ponies who respected her athletic abilities and didn't give her a hard time for being the best.

She recognized other pegasi, some she was neutral with, others she didn't quite get along with. Now that she thought about it, a lot of her school years were spent fighting with other ponies who messed with her or Fluttershy. She noticed as she flipped through the pages, that she didn't see a signature yet. She stopped as she saw a sight for sore eyes, Fluttershy's senior photo.

"Wow Fluttershy, look at how pretty you look here. Well, you do everywhere, but gosh, this picture speaks for itself." Rainbow gushed as she tilted the book toward her mare friend. Fluttershy made herself smaller as she gave the smallest of smiles. "Oh that, it was nothing special." Rainbow pulled the smaller pegasus into a wing hug, rubbing her face affectionately into the pink mane.

"Stop lying to yourself Flutter Butter. That is such a pretty pink dress, it matches your mane and tail so well. And that messy bun, you are rocking it girl." The flashy pegasus stated proudly. "No wonder Rarity chose you to be her personal model, that pose of you laying across that cloud and staring lazily into the camera just screams beauty. I like that diamond necklace you're wearing to. How come I never see you wearing it?" Dash questioned as she took the chance to nibble on the yellow ear.

Fluttershy giggled as she ran her hooves through her mare friend's fur. "It's my mother's actually. She wanted me to wear it for picture day. It's one of her favorites." Rainbow's eyes lit up, "So that's why it looked so familiar." She said to herself as she continued. Fluttershy stiffened in her hold, "Can you believe some of the girls tried to steal it from me. One pulled my hair while the other tried to snatch it in the bathroom." Rainbow felt her blood boil at the confession as she gasped rather loudly.

"They always tried that stuff when you weren't around. But there was no way I would let them steal my mother's beautiful diamond necklace." Fluttershy spoke, her voice growing just a tad stronger. "I shook them off and made a run for it to the photo area. The photographer saw me in tears, he calmed me down and cleaned me up. We even managed to fix my hair, it wasn't as nice as mom had made it for me, but we made it work." Fluttershy confessed. Rainbow Dash thought that she sounded a bit like Rarity there. She also felt guilty, wishing she was there and see if those cowards will still try anything on her sweet Shy. She planted a soft kiss to the top of Fluttershy's head, "Well, I'm glad you took care of yourself so well while I was MIA. Next reunion, if you spot them, point me right to those jerks and you will see the fur and feathers fly. Maybe even a few teeth." Dash felt Fluttershy squeak and hold on tighter, always scared of any form of violence. The cyan mare chuckled softly, "They were so jealous of you Shy. Even after all that, you still look so beautiful." Dash whispered, making Fluttershy coo. Rainbow frowned at not seeing her senior picture in the year book, not that she expected it to be. But she was in the team photos, always posing in front of the medals and trophies. She always went too fast for any action shots. She smirked at seeing a few hearts traced around her victorious face in the few photos she was in.

"I told you I have had a crush on you since forever." Fluttershy said in her soft tone, seemingly knowing what her mare friend had noticed. Dash chuckled again but continued. As she reached the end where friends would write a good bye she saw one paragraph. She tilted her head slightly and read the messy, but still more legible than hers, writing. "Hi Fluttershy, it's me, Derpy! Just wanted to say thanks for being such a good pal to me all these years. I know a lot of the ponies here didn't treat both of us very nicely, and even though we didn't hang out every day, your friendship was really genuine, and it means a lot to me. All the memories we made in baking class will stick to my brain like batter to my mane! I hope life treats you kind Fluttershy. I landed a job in Ponyville as a mail mare, so if you are ever in the area, stop by and we can grab a muffin. I will miss you! With love, Derpy." Dash read aloud, both ponies smiling. Fluttershy giggled as memories of failed baked muffins returned to her head, while Rainbow was pleased to know Fluttershy had at least one real good friend to stay by her that final year.

Fluttershy stroked Dash's arm timidly, "Um Dashie, turn the page please? There's something I have been meaning to show you for years." She asked in a small voice that Dash's ears barely picked up on. She looked down at the big eyed Fluttershy, feeling her heart quicken its pace. She did as told and turned the page. The writing was Fluttershy's and the words surprised her. Fluttershy nuzzled her, "Go on, read it out loud for me." Fluttershy encouraged.

A serious look over took the blue face as she read. "To Rainbow Dash, my very best friend in the whole world. Dear Dashie, I know that what happened here wasn't right, and that you having to leave has been extremely hard for the both of us. If anypony deserves to walk down the aisle at graduation, it's you. It seems you have spent our whole lives standing up for what's right, and usually defending me. Even if this whole city is upside down on its morals, just know that in my eyes, you are the most amazing pony I could ever imagine. Honestly, I don't think Celestia herself, bless her benevolent soul, could hold a candle to you." Dash read carefully and slowly, letting each word sink in her brain. She felt a lump in her throat that she had to try hard to swallow.

Dash smiled at the yellow mare who blushed, "Just don't tell her I said that. I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings." Fluttershy said back. Rainbow smirked as she continued to read aloud the words written long ago. "My father always used to tell me, the path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell. It seems Cloudsdale Flight School has been our clouded hell. And now it's over, and I just know you will find your heaven, I can see you in that Wonderbolt uniform now." Dash let out a snort of a chuckle, her blue cheeks turning red at the sweet words. She felt Fluttershy nuzzle closer to her. "What I will do, I'm still not sure. But I hope to cross paths again soon, after all, what am I without you? I want this yearbook to be as much yours as it is mine, so I say until we meet again. And soon might I add. And, well, I love you Rainbow Dash, you are my hero, and a true, true friend. With all the love and adoration in this scared little heart, Fluttershy." Dash finished the sentence, rubbing her watery eyes.

"She's been in love with me since forever, and I didn't see it til years later. What have I done to deserve such an angel to love me like she does?" Dash thought as she sniffled a bit. She turned to fully face her lover and wrapped her arms around her. She kissed her deeply, feeling Fluttershy's body go limp against hers. Fluttershy melted into the embrace of her lover, willing to do whatever Rainbow Dash pleased. They pulled apart, Dash resting her head against the yellow one, as she played with some pink locks. "Fluttershy, I just don't know what to say. That has to be one of the most sweetest things anypony has ever written to me. I just can't top that. Oh, I just love you with all my heart Shy." Dash whispered soothingly.

Fluttershy could feel the happy tear drops that hit the top of her head, Rainbow Dash trying her best not to let her see her cry. The yellow mare felt a new surge of energy, the love they shared a tangible presence in the home. She giggled light heartedly, her eyes watering from the emotion of it all. She wrapped her arms around her love's neck, tilting her head up to brush muzzles together. "Rainbow Dash, you don't have to do anything to top this. This is love, our love. We both won, everything you have done has earned your place in my heart." She bravely connected lips with the love struck Rainbow. After a few moments of a passionate kiss, she ended it with butterfly kisses all over her face. "I just wanted you to know that I have always loved you, and always will." Fluttershy finished softly, content to hold the love of her life tightly and be held.

Rainbow Dash squeezed her back, never wanting to let go. She sniffled the last of the moisture away, taking in her lover's scent. "I know now, and I will always love you to, my dear sweet Flutters." She said as she lost herself in the soft feel of her mare. They held each other like this for some time before setting things in the room straight and leaving. "I'm going to check on the animals outside and water the plants. Why don't you rest in here and take it easy? Then later we can take a stroll through town, maybe even a short flight?" Fluttershy suggested happily.

Rainbow Dash nodded as she laid on the sofa, "Sounds good to me baby. Just call me if you need anything." She said back, leaning back and watching the nature loving pony walk out the door. She made a happy sigh, her whole body relaxed. Most of the animals were enjoying the nice weather, so things were peaceful in the living room. The rainbow mare didn't notice how one small white rabbit lingered in the back round.

Angel Bunny had his attack all planned out. He had the moldy expired vegetables his mama threw away in his paws. This colorful pony had been too pushy lately, waking him from his naps to have her way with his beloved pony. And now that said beloved pony left to do some household chores, it was the perfect time for some revenge. He held the very mushy and awful smelling tomato in both paws, a little more grip would break its skin, releasing more of the strong odor. He laughed silently to himself, an evil smile on his face.

He tip toed without a sound to the coffee table, to see the blue pony already dozing off to sleep. Excitement shook in his small frame as she slept with her mouth open, looking ever so peaceful. His black eyes dilated, holding the nasty food above his head. He calculated his throw carefully, and like a pitcher for a baseball game, he chucked it right in the middle of her face.

Rainbow awoke with a fright. She tasted something terrible and mushy in her mouth, feeling her fur wet and smelled a sour smell. She coughed and spat out the nasty mush as she tried to wipe her face clean. She looked at her red stained hoof, "Is this tomato?" she questioned confused, feeling gross at the white mold mixed in with the brownish red. She saw red as she finally noticed Angel, her new arch nemisis, laughing his tail off at her expense. She leaned forward, "Why you little son of a blah!" she gagged as he threw an old crusty beet to smear on her face and lips.

She shook her head about madly, "That's it, you're dead!" she screamed as she lunged forward, Angel barely escaping her grasp. He zoomed right under the sofa she was on. Rainbow Dash knocked over the little table, spilling the pet treats and jaw breakers all over the floor. She growled in frustration as the rabbit flipped her the bird from under the sofa. She ran up to the furniture and flipped it over, her rage burning in her heart.

He zipped between her legs, but tripped over her tail. He had just enough time to roll over as she slammed her hoof down. He held it up with his feet, his strength commendable. He kicked it up, giving him enough time to roll over again and sprint away, a smile on his face. "Horse apples! Get back here and take your beating you little demon!" the furious pony yelled.

With one massive leap, he hopped over the overturned table, shaking his rear at her. Rainbow Dash charged, tripping over the tiny jaw breakers and slamming head first, sending the rabbit flying. He landed on a stool, standing up, a little dizzy. Rainbow Dash was at him in a flash, she threw a punch, to which he dodged. She started karate chopping, smashing the items on the cabinet he hopped on. He did a nasty uppercut, making her bite her tongue.

She stepped back, seeing him grab some more old food he hid behind the objects. Rainbow Dash grabbed one of Fluttershy's recipe books that was one the sofa and chucked it as hard as she could, hitting him in the head. The rabbit fell with a dazed look on his face. Rainbow Dash huffed out hot air, shaking in anger, until she heard a loud gasp.

"Oh my goodness, Rainbow Dash! Angel Bunny! What happened in here?" Rainbow's eyes went wide as her fur stood on end, making her mane and tail spikey. Angel heard her voice to as he wobbled his way to her. Rainbow started shuffling in place, "No Shy, it's not what it looks like. That rabbit, he started it. He just attacked me while I was napping. I didn't mean to roughen him up that bad." She said, voice full of worry.

Angel shook his head no, making charades, choking his own neck and pointing to the cyan mare. Dash's magenta eyes were all big as she crawled on the ground to her mare friend, placing her front hooves together in a pleading fashion. "No, no Fluttershy. I swear I'm telling the truth. He threw all this nasty stuff on me, and hit me. I didn't mean to go crazy like this. I'll clean it all up, please don't hate me! I wasn't going to kill him." She begged.

Fluttershy was taken aback by Dash's pleas. She looked to Angel with a stern eye, "Angel Bunny, the animals told me what you were planning today. Be a good boy and tell mama the truth." She ordered in a demanding voice as she gave him a one eyed stare. Angel shook in his coat as he pulled his ears out of worry. He made little signs, to which some other small creature elaborated on.

He tried to run to her leg, but she held him back with a hoof, a look of disappointment in her eyes. "Angel Bunny, I am ashamed in your behavior. To go and do something so mean to Rainbow Dash while she was minding her own business was just awful. I thought I raised you better than that, and it hurts mama real bad to see you act in such a way."

Angel covered his mouth, feeling guilty. "If you had concerns that Dash was taking advantage, you should have talked to me first. Now look at all the mess you made for me." She said sternly. "Rainbow Dash loves me very much Angel, and she makes me very happy, just like you all do, but differently. There is always a mature way to handle things in this home. Just because you are an animal, doesn't mean you can act so wild." She said seriously. Angel felt like he was just slapped in the face. She never referred to him as an animal, always as a friend or bunny. He fell back on his rump, feeling depressed.

Fluttershy felt herself winch on the inside, but stayed strong. She looked to Rainbow Dash, "I'm really sorry he did this Dashie. But he told me how you have been picking on him from time to time. And even though he started it, you shouldn't have turned my living room upside down. And you definitely shouldn't have hit him with a book. That is a big no no, you should have called for me."

Rainbow Dash hunched over, feeling regret at her reaction. These animals were her life, especially Angel. She had no right to do what she did. "I understand Fluttershy, I went way over boundaries trying to discipline him physically. And I lost my cool, something I have been working real hard on not to let happen since I started dating you." She said in a downed voice. "I'm really sorry Fluttershy, I was acting as bad as him."

Fluttershy looked to Angel, who quickly looked back down to his paws. The pink haired mare cleared her throat, "Well, if you two are truly sorry, and really want to make this up to me, than you must both clean up this mess you made together, and no more fighting." She demanded. Angel stood up straight at a chance to redeem himself in her eyes. He hopped over to the now filthy Rainbow Dash. He made a bow to apologize before getting to work.

Rainbow Dash looked back to her mare friend, feeling like she got off easy, "Thank you Fluttershy. I promise not to let this happen again." Fluttershy gave a small nod, "I trust in you both. Please don't fight again while I finish things outside." With that she left. Rainbow Dash started fixing the over turned furniture, and picking up the treats and candy. Angel fixed the cabinets and cleaned the smudged vegetables. After an hour of hard work, they had the place looking good as new. Fluttershy smiled at them as she walked toward the rabbit.

"This was very good of you Angel. But now I need to sort the feed for some of the bigger animals. And tonight, no dessert." Angel frowned, but didn't protest. He hopped straight away. She smiled back at Rainbow Dash. "Thank you Dashie, I really hope you two can respect each other and get along." Dash scuffed at the ground, "Yeah, I guess I shouldn't always be trying to pick a fight with him. I promise if I have a problem, to come to you." Fluttershy smiled from ear to ear, "That's wonderful to hear. Now I think my Dashie needs a nice hot shower." Dash took a look at her messy and stained reflection on the wall mirror, "I think you're right Shy. Give me thirty minutes. Then how about I take us out some place nice as an apology." Fluttershy smiled again, softer, "That is very sweet of you Rainbow, I can't wait."

A Few Days Later

Fluttershy rushed back and fourth in her cottage, making sure to leave little notes everywhere, panic in her voice. "Alright Spike, are you sure you will be able to handle taking care of all these animals for me while we are gone?" Fluttershy worried as she sat in front of the baby dragon. Spike ran his claws through his green head spikes, the picture of calm, "You know it Fluttershy. Don't worry about all these little guys, I'm going to have Twilight helping me out. Not to mention Pinkie and Applejack said they would stop by every few days to make sure all is well." He said confidently.

Rainbow Dash waited by the door, holding all the bags for their week trip. "Come on Fluttershy, we're wasting daylight." She complained, trying to rush the frantic pegasus. Fluttershy looked up worriedly to her, always feeling dread when she had to leave her animals. She looked back down at Spike with a smile, giving him a hug, "Thank you so very much Spike. You always come through for me when I need a pet sitter. I promise to bring you some delicious gem stones when we return. Please give them lots of love and attention." Fluttershy finished.

Spike licked his lips at the prospect of gems as he walked the yellow mare to the door. Fluttershy turned back one more time to see Spike and all the other critters waving good bye, "Don't worry Fluttershy, they are in good claws! You two have fun on your trip!" he called out before gently closing the door. She turned back around to see Rainbow Dash wearing her flight goggles and a red and white sweat band holding her mane back, making it look like a rainbow wave as she held a pair of flight goggles to her. The kind pony smiled nervously at her mare friend, talking the goggles and strapping them on. Rainbow Dash rubbed noses with her, "Look at my sexy little flyer, is she excited for our trip?" Dash teased, trying to calm her anxieties. It didn't work as Fluttershy hunched over in fear, "Dashie, I don't think I'm strong enough to fly all the way south to Foalrida. Can't we just take the train?"

Rainbow smiled as she chuckled, "Well of course your wings aren't ready for a long flight like that Shy. But the train is too slow, it will take almost the whole week! That's why I got this baby!" Before Fluttershy could question, there was only a rainbow trail left behind where her mare friend was just a millisecond ago. Fluttershy blinked and Dash was back in a flash, along with a rental cloud. The fast flyer wore a dazzling smile, hovering in the air while leaning against the cloud. Fluttershy's smile grew at the attractive athletic mare that was now flexing her biceps for her.

Rainbow Dash grabbed their luggage and placed them in the holding department of the cloud before zipping back down to pluck Fluttershy off the ground. She held the smaller pegasus bridal style proudly and with ease. "You are so much lighter than your trophies and all that luggage my sweet little Flutter Butter." She whispered softly, tickling Fluttershy's ear. The pony being held laughed her soft laugh that always made the bold pegasus soften.

Rainbow slowed her decent and placed Fluttershy softly on the cloud bed, face up. She pointed to the whole structure, a perfect cloud for two to lounge about. "I got this baby from Cloudsdale this morning. It's made of hard cloud, you can't just kick this stuff to be gone. It's built to last for miles and miles!" Dash bragged as she jumped on the cloud, Fluttershy still peering up at her. "The sleek design makes it aerodynamic, perfect for speed and quick turns. It's super easy to control, and they have an extra soft cloud layer on top for comfort, perfect for long trips and napping. Baby, we will be flying in style." She said with a smile.

Fluttershy was impressed, she lay there, mouth hanging open, staring wide eyed at her mare friend. "Oh Rainbow, that's so thoughtful of you to go through all this t-trouble just so you can take me on this trip. I feel so bad, this couldn't be cheap." Rainbow scoffed at her as she rested her body on top of hers, getting comfortable, "Don't sell yourself cheap babe, you are totally worth every bit. Besides, I got a great deal, and I really wanted to take you out some place nice, I should have done this earlier when it was hotter. So going south will have to do."

Rainbow Dash nestled into the warm body of her lover as her hooves gripped the fine cloud. She stretched her wings one more time, "My flying will get us there much faster, one, two days tops if I'm feeling lazy. Let's ride!" and with that her powerful wings bulldozed them through the sky. A large stream of white followed by a rainbow trail was all that was seen.

Fluttershy eeped as she instinctively held on tight to the pony resting above her. She felt the g forces pulling against her as she hid her face in Dash's chest. They were going at alarming speeds, and Rainbow Dash was still accelerating. The driver of the cloud was smiling happily as she kept her eyes glued to the sky, "No teasing me with those seductive movements of yours Fluttershy, I gotta keep my focus on the skies. Just relax, I got ya." Rainbow Dash let out a low growl of pleasure as she felt the fearful pegasus tremble beneath her.

The creamy yellow mare still hid her face in the soft and comforting fur of her mare friend. She shook her head yes, voice to soft to reach her ears. "Yup, if you're going to travel by cloud, this is the way to do it. Not to mention, I got something way better to snuggle with than the cloud. It's so much softer and warmer!" Dash screamed as she wiggled teasingly against Fluttershy. She smiled even broader as she felt Fluttershy move her head slightly to take a peek up at her.

Rainbow Dash had been flying hard for eight hours straight, the rushing wind cooling her down. Fluttershy was seeing her pant like mad, and was worried she would tire herself out too much. She rubbed her hooves up Dash's chest, "Dashie, take a break." Fluttershy had been complaining for her to slow down after the first hour. Rainbow Dash decided she finally pushed herself hard enough. She stopped flapping her wings, the cloud still going at a steady pace in the direction she was flying. Fluttershy felt safe enough to pull herself out from under her mare friend. Once out Rainbow collapsed onto the cloud, panting heavily. She raised her goggles, happy her sweat band kept a lot of sweat from her eyes.

She lay on the cloud, wings stretched out, smiling at how long she was able to keep up such a fast speed. Fluttershy pulled out a large water bottle that was kept cool within the cloud. She opened it and placed it to Dash's thirsty lips. Rainbow shut her eyes and chugged the water, looking like a nursing animal. Rainbow Dash ran her hoof through her moistened mane, "Take it easy Dashie, I don't want you to get a tummy ache. Tummy aches are serious business missy." Fluttershy lectured as she tried to slow her down. The cyan mare listened as she stopped to get some air. She drank again, at a more reasonable pace. Once she finished she looked over to the odometer embedded in the cloud.

She grinned as Fluttershy's eyes widened, "Look at that Shy, according to this, we should be half way there. Say, can you grab me the map I have placed in there." Fluttershy grabbed the paper, opening it for her lover. Rainbow studied it, checking the compass in the cloud. "Yeah, we are making great time!" she cheered herself as she flipped it over. She studied the weather charts for the area, "And the weather reports show some south bound winds, great, that will keep this baby moving while we rest up. Ah, so did I blow you away or what? Can't believe I was flying for so long." Dash said as she rolled over to her back.

She rested her head on Fluttershy's lap, the shy mare stroking her prismatic mane. "Oh Rainbow Dash, I have never seen anypony go as long and fast as you. The Wonderbolts are going to have to step up their game just to keep up with you." Fluttershy complemented truthfully, content at some down time with her love at a more calming pace. Rainbow Dash relaxed into her mare friend's caresses, she felt like she was on cloud nine. She pushed all her worries aside and enjoyed the beautiful day, resting on a cloud.

Her attention was soon grabbed again by her sweet filly as she felt expert hooves massage her wings. She leaned her head back, tongue hanging out as her body was filled with ecstasy. "I am so lucky to have such a powerful pony as my mare friend. You are such a dream boat Rainbow." Fluttershy whispered her sweet nothings into Dash's ear, nuzzling her cheek. Ever touch brought a strange mix of relaxation and excitement to her body as Fluttershy continued her massage.

Rainbow Dash opened one magenta eye to gaze onto the pretty and caring face, smiling as Fluttershy smiled back at her. "Did you want to make sweet, sweet love here on the cloud Fluttershy? I could always use more stamina training." Rainbow Dash offered as she wiggled her eyebrows, making the yellow pegasus blush again. Fluttershy covered her eyes at the thought, "Oh no, I could never, what if a pegasus flies by Dashie? We are out in the open." Dash loved teasing her like this, her reactions always unbearable. "I know you want to you dirty girl." Dash said with a smile as she played with the pink tail that had managed to put itself on her tummy. Fluttershy enjoyed the tail stroking for a moment before returning to massaging Dash's chest and shoulders, "How about I give you a nice massage and we take a little nap?" Fluttershy tried to persuade her.

Fluttershy stood up and stretched, before working on her mare friend's body. By the time she was done kneading all the knots on her back, she heard the loud and familiar snores coming from the resting pegasus. She sat back and stared lovingly at the pony who made all the difference in her life. "Ah, my sweet Rainbow Dash. She looks so lovely sleeping on a cloud like this. It's like I'm looking into the past and seeing her as a little filly again. She must be so very tuckered out." Fluttershy thought to herself as she brushed back the wild and colorful mane from her lover's eyes.

"You were so cute then to, and, well, look at how well you've matured." She said in a soft voice as she noticed how her muscles flexed and relaxed with each breath. She felt her heart flutter, happy to just admire. The chirping of some birds caught her attention as she turned around. Right at eye level was a flock of birds, striking conversation with her. Fluttershy listened carefully, "And a good day to you to friends. So what brings you all way up here?" she asked politely, always loving for the chance to talk to animals. They continued communicating with her. Fluttershy turned back to her mare friend, and then looked back to her bird friends, "Oh, she's my mare friend, she is awfully tired, she has been flying me from Ponyville all the way to Foalrida." The birds seemed excited at her words. Fluttershy smiled, "Oh, you are all flying south to? How wonderful. And close to Foalrida hm?"

Fluttershy thought about how Rainbow Dash had been doing so much to take her on this trip, and been dreading how she convinced her to tell their parents. But Rainbow Dash would be brave, she was actually looking forward to meeting her father again and telling him that she will be courting his daughter. She also felt rather useless because Dash had been doing all the flying for 8 hours, while she laid down. She looked back to the friendly birds again, "Would you all mind showing me the way to Foalrida until she wakes up please?" The birds nodded in the air.

Fluttershy stretched her body, taking extra care and time preparing her wings. Her and the birds all flew at a much slower pace than Rainbow Dash had been flying, so she didn't have to worry about her flying off. She decided the best way to get the two of them plus the cloud moving was to fly behind it and push. The flock of birds grabbed onto a special cloud tying rope that was meant for anchoring the cloud to the ground during stops and bad weather and helped pull the cloud while leading the way.

Fluttershy hummed happily, wearing her flight goggles as she made a steady pace toward their goal. Whenever she got tired, she thought about how strong she is making her wings, and how proud her love will be of her. Luckily the cloud had no weight, and it made her Dashie even lighter, so the real work out was in the act of flying itself. She had already been flying for two hours, the longest she had flow since her injury. She was thankful to have the birds there to keep her company as she tried to focus on anything.

She sighed happily as Rainbow Dash began to stir from her slumber, rolling over to her back and yawning. The awakening pegasus felt about the cloud looking for a certain somepony. When she didn't feel her, she shot straight up and yelled frantically, "Fluttershy! Oh buck, Fluttershy, please tell me you didn't fall off. Where are y…" she stopped her yelling as she notice Fluttershy appear from behind the cloud, her hoof raised to her mouth in a motion to being quiet.

The birds had let go of the rope and were flying hesitantly above the pegasi. Fluttershy landed on the cloud, wings falling limp instantly from their flying. "She didn't mean to frighten you all. We're sorry." She sang out in her caring voice she always used on animals. Dash cocked her head to the side as the birds flew closer to the yellow mare. She let the brave and knowledgeable leader land on her outstretched hoof as she brought him close to her face for a cuddle. "Thank you all so much for helping me today. I hope you all have a nice time on your trip!" Fluttershy thanked as they circled above her head before taking off at a much faster pace.

Fluttershy turned back to see her mare friend looking confused, her head tilted in the cutest of manners. "Uh, what happened while I was out? And how long was I out for?" she asked concerned, noticing how their surroundings had changed. Fluttershy cuddled up to the seated pegasus, catching her breath. "Well, you have been napping for a little more than two hours Dashie." Fluttershy felt her lover stiffen, "What, oh crud! It was only supposed to be a little half hour snooze. I'm sorry Shy, I wasted so much time. You should have woken me up." Dash said disappointed.

Fluttershy raised her hooves to rest on Rainbow's shoulders as she looked into her eyes, "Oh no, I couldn't. You had been flying so hard for so long. You needed your rest. Besides, the birds and I flew the cloud while you were sleeping." The now blushing mare said with a nervous smile, hoping she didn't somehow mess up. Dash's magenta eyes widened at hearing how well her mare friend took charge while she was asleep. "No way, really Flutters? You have been flying that long for me?" Dash asked as she grabbed Fluttershy under her arms and lifted her up above the cloud. Fluttershy giggled at her mare friend's actions, "Teehee, yes. I would fly forever for you Miss Rainbow Dash." Dash blushed ever so slightly as she set her down and began rubbing her wings. Fluttershy instantly fell onto her back at the relaxation from it.

Rainbow's eyes started to close half way as she enjoyed the view. It never ceased to amaze her how receptive her lover was to her touches, or how much of a turn on it was to see her enjoy it so much. She played with the little yellow wings, bringing pleasure to Fluttershy's whole body. Fluttershy made quiet little moans as one of her hind hooves twitched from all the sensation flowing through her body. The stray hoof brushed dangerously close to Dash's private area, making it harder for the flashy pegasus to remember that they were still flying to their destination, and not at the destination itself.

Rainbow Dash shook her head about, trying to get her thoughts together. She smiled down at the relieved looking Fluttershy, "She probably doesn't even know all the little things she does that make it so hard to not just lay in bed with her all day, or on a cloud, or in the field, maybe even the bath tub." She thought with a smirk as her hooves stopped their work and she bent down low to plant a gentle kiss upon the gentle mare's forehead. Fluttershy finally got control of her senses as she shifted so her mane covered one eye, and she looked very much like a little filly again as she blinked and blushed, looking up to her mare friend. Rainbow Dash smiled at the innocent look of her mare friend as she cocked her head to one side, rainbow mane hanging down with a small swish, her eyes staring lovingly back. They lay there for a minute, breathing each other's air and talking with just their eyes.

A very important detail popped into Rainbow Dash's head as she picked herself off of her mare friend. "So, my expert flyer has been sailing this thing across the blue skies for me for a couple of hours. And I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty hungry. Would my special somepony care for a snack?" Rainbow asked, already knowing she must be hungry. A look of delight came over Fluttershy, "Ooo, yes please Dashie, I could definitely go for something to eat." She replied, sitting back up. Rainbow gave her a small wink as she opened the cloud compartment.

She dug through the items, pulling out the veggie wraps Fluttershy had made, along with some grapes and nut bars. She placed it in front of Fluttershy, turning back to get two plates and some napkins. Fluttershy waited happily, feeling lucky to have such a caring mare friend. Rainbow Dash placed the food for her. They both laid on their tummies, Dash grabbing the grapes by the stem and holding it above Fluttershy's head. "Have some!" she mumbled through clenched teeth, holding the fruit in her mouth. Fluttershy hid one eye behind her mane, but Rainbow Dash could still see her lovely smile. They yellow mare muttered a thanks as she gently pick a grape from the bunch, enjoying its sweet taste.

Dash placed it back down, skillfully picking a mouthful in one go. They enjoyed their little lunch break. Rainbow Dash got another bright idea, she grabbed the water bottle and flew to a dark cloud that was near by, getting fresh squeezed rain water. She brought it back to an eager Fluttershy, balancing the container of liquid proudly on the tip of her nose. "Oh my goodness, fresh rain sounds so delightful after a long flight." Fluttershy said out loud, wings fluttering just a bit. Dash flipped the bottle off her nose and onto their rental cloud. "Do I know it sweet stuff. Here, drink up all you can, and I will fill it back up for later." Dash offered.

As Fluttershy enjoyed the cool water, Rainbow Dash went through the compartment again. "Hey Shy, I made us a little something to surprise you with. Got a little more room left in your tummy?" Dash asked, her head still in cloud. Fluttershy's ears perked up at Rainbow Dash preparing a meal for her, and her kitchen still surviving. But whatever her lover made, she would be more than happy to eat. "Oh, that is so sweet of my rough and tough Dashie. I would love some of whatever you made dear." Dash pulled out a paper bag with her teeth, still smiling happily. She placed it between the two. She spoke as she slowly unwrapped it with her hooves, "Are your taste buds ready, to try some of my famous, gourmet, PB&J's!" Dash announced proudly as she brought out the sandwiches.

Fluttershy had to hold in her squee at how her mare friend's eyes shown with victory at preparing a meal successfully. Fluttershy was shocked to, they looked pretty good. "Oh, I love peanut butter and jelly. Thank you Rainbow Dash, this will be the perfect end to a perfect date on a cloud." Fluttershy spoke softly as she started on her sandwich. Fluttershy tasted the treat, earning her seal of approval, for a PB&J, it was very good. "Simple yet sweet. This has got to be the absolute best PB&J I have ever eaten my love." Rainbow Dash had already finished hers, licking the remains of the peanut butter off her lips. "Awe you're just saying that babe." Dash shot back, washing it down with water. "Oh no, I mean it. It was just perfect. And the fact that you made it just for me, made it all the more delectable." Rainbow Dash nuzzled Fluttershy, spending a few minutes to hold her close.

They cleaned up, the cyan mare making sure both their goggles were on. "Alright hot stuff, let's fly!" Dash said as they resumed their original flight positions, Rainbow Dash atop of Fluttershy while the yellow mare lay face up. They were still flying fast, but at a slower pace than before, thanks to Fluttershy's worrying of Dash getting a cramp. Of course now that she was flying much slower and with a full tummy, Rainbow Dash was having some dirty thoughts pop in her head. The two ponies flew in silence for a few moments, Dash's rainbow mane blowing gracefully in the wind, her magenta eyes drifting down to the cute resting pony below her from time to time, betraying her building lust.

Fluttershy shifted slightly under her lover, her long tail wrapping itself around Dash's hind leg for comfort. Rainbow Dash knew that Fluttershy was content to just lay there and enjoy being close in silence, so she decided she would have to start the conversation. A little something she heard from a stallion from the academy who was dating a unicorn popped into her mind, a little something she decided she was going to convince Fluttershy to try. "So, you comfortable down there Shy?" Dash asked, voice loud enough to be heard past the rushing wind, but only if one was as close to her as Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked up to her lover, blue eyes wide with happiness. "Oh, very comfortable, thank you for asking Rainbow! This has got to be one of the softest clouds I have had the pleasure of riding on!" Fluttershy responded, trying her best to call out, innocent mind unaware of her mare friend's scandalous intentions. "Hehe, she said riding on, and she's with me. Yup, more than enough reason to try this." Dash thought to herself, the tip of her tongue sticking out in delight.. She looked throughout the sky, so far on their whole trip, they have come across only six pegasi flying the skies. "Considering what a great day it is to fly, there aren't that many at our altitude. Perfect!" Dash formulated her plan.

As she continued her pace, she nestled in between Fluttershy's legs, bringing them even closer. She let her gaze fall to the pretty mare for a moment, "And you feel nice and safe under your big, strong pegasus?" she asked aloud in her teasing manner. Fluttershy still seemed oblivious to Dash's intentions. She just wrapped her arms around Dash's waist and nuzzled into her chest, "Always and forever my Dashie." she said as loud as she could. Fluttershy busied herself with cuddling, unknowingly giving the fastest pony in all of Equestria goose bumps and making her wings tingle all the way to the very tips of her cyan feathers. Rainbow Dash's colorful tail found its way to Fluttershy's sensitive pleasure button, and in one slow and deliberate motion, dragged itself upward. Fluttershy's shrill moan was music to Dash's ears, a chill running up the timid pony's spine and across her wings, said wings ruffling in place.

"W-w-what was that f-for?" Fluttershy stuttered out, her voice trembling just a little. Dash looked at the clear skies before they lustfully made their way to Fluttershy's. The yellow mare looked confused, yet longingly at her, "Well, I got her attention now." Dash proudly thought in her mind. "Why what ever do you mean my love? I just want my sweet little filly to know that her super awesome mare friend finds her super sexy and irresistible." Dash said coyly, acting all innocent. Fluttershy let out a tiny huff, trying to be tough, though Rainbow could clearly see the blush on her cheeks. "Well, that is very nice of you Dash, but you must resist, we are out in public you know." Fluttershy tried to rebuke.

Dash defiantly rubbed her tail against Fluttershy's sex again, this time just as slow, but with more pressure, "There hasn't been a pony in sight for hours. Hay, not even a bird Shy. So I don't see the harm in having some well deserved fun with my treasured special somepony. Besides, don't I deserve at least that, I have been so good lately. I haven't fought with Angel, or anypony for that matter. And I worked so hard to plan this trip I have just been dying to take you on!" Dash said in her guilt bringing voice, trying to butter her lover up to the idea. Fluttershy wrung her hooves together nervously, "W-well, I suppose, I mean…" Dash cut her off again. "And I'm taking us to see our parents. I'm being brave and getting your mom's and dad's approval, for us. Aren't I being so well behaved?" Dash continued, seeing her method working as Fluttershy could only lay there and blink.

"Yes, you have been good. But can't weeee!" Fluttershy's voice went up in pitch as Dash stiffened her tail to rub at her entrance. Rainbow Dash kept at her steady flying pace, bringing her head down to rest on Fluttershy's forehead. She planted a few kisses, alternating between rubbing the lower yellow lips and flicking her sensitive clitoris with the tip of her tail. "Just lay back and feel for a little while. You know I can make it good for you. I can tell you want it, I can totally see it in your wings." Dash said triumphantly.

Fluttershy took a big gulp, coves curling into the cloud. She looked to see that indeed her wings had betrayed her, they were wide open and stiff as a board. "Oh no! This is so wrong, we shouldn't be doing this in public, somepony could see. Oh, why do I like it so much? Why does Rainbow Dash have to be so attractive?" Fluttershy worried in her mind. She looked up helplessly at Rainbow Dash's smug look, who was delighting in getting her way. Fluttershy knew she was done for, and decided it best to enjoy herself, as naughty as she felt for liking this experiment. "You'll keep a look out, won't you Dash? And you promise not to crash the cloud or anything?" Fluttershy meekly asked, already feeling the blood rushing to her cheeks at her own approval.

Rainbow Dash took another look to see endless clear blue skies. She looked back down, a huge grin on her face. "There isn't a single living creature in sight as far as my amazing eyes can see Shy. And do you know who you are talking to? A pony who is as great as a flier as me could never crash, well, a cloud anyway. Not unless I was doing some crazy stunt." She wiggled her eye brows and gave a little wink. "Now how about a little fun there baby?" Dash said in a saucy tone as she closed her eyes and gave her mare friend a deep kiss. She growled sensually into the kiss, feeling Fluttershy shutter at the sound. She felt her wings tingle with excitement and her heart beat faster. She pulled out of the kiss and saw Fluttershy looking up at her as innocent as ever.

Rainbow Dash felt her breathing get heavier just at the thought of what they were doing. She continued teasing Fluttershy with her tricky tail, watching her restrained pleasure and hearing her soft moans. The yellow mare had her eyes shut as she enjoyed being played with so softly. The animal care taker felt herself getting more into it. Her initial worries being replaced with the over whelming need to be touched. She felt her judgment being clouded by heat her mare friend's tail was bringing her. "Oh Dashie, you just always know what to do to make me absolutely crazy for you." She quietly admitted. Dash smirked at the pony on her back, she slowed her wings down for safety, as she casually brought out her hoof and started caressing Fluttershy's left wing.

"Well if you're going to go insane, it may as well be for me Shy. Now tell me, how am I doing?" Dash asked as her tail and hoof kept up the pleasure. The cyan mare felt her tail grow heavy with Fluttershy's wetness, and with how rigid her wings felt, not to mention the obvious looks and sounds of pleasure, she already knew the answer. But her ego always loved to hear it anyways. Fluttershy leaned her head back into the cloud, moaning loudly as she felt her lover's tail go deeper with in her, only to be roughly pulled up and out of her and stimulate her clit. She closed her hind legs, a pleasure shiver going through her body.

The timid mare couldn't resist the heat building up inside her. And with Dash running her hoof through her feathers in the opposite direction, it sent her mind reeling. She started feeling the well formed muscles of her lover's chest, "Oh Dash, you're doing so good." Dash went harder with her tail, rocking the smaller pegasus back and fourth. "Mhm, more than good!" Fluttershy called out. Dash went straight for her neck, letting their momentum and wind fly the cloud as she went for the yellow neck. She planted sloppy kisses all over it, sucking and taking little love bites, making Fluttershy's breath catch in her throat. Rainbow Dash bent her body to keep with the kissing while grinding with Fluttershy's now bucking hips. "Oh Rainbow Dash, you are doing amazing!" Fluttershy screamed in a rather loud voice.

The fast flier started moaning and growling into her kisses, feeling Fluttershy's warm neck. She felt her blood pumping to her wings and nether regions, the urge to feel Fluttershy's skilled tongue and warm breath entering her growing like a fire. She managed to stay in control, kissing Fluttershy's collar bone while their flowering buds touched, making Fluttershy's whimper. Dash put more of her weight of her lover, not letting her sit up, her nature to be dominant ever present. Fluttershy tried to sit up again to hold her close, only to have her lips make contact with Dash's. They shared a fiery kiss, both mares becoming loud with passion.

Fluttershy fell back down on the cloud bed, her flowing mane going from whipping in the wind to settling beautifully around her face and shoulders. Rainbow Dash took a moment to admire her beauty before bringing her long tongue to the middle of her belly and dragging it all the way up past her chest and to finish at her chin. Fluttershy melted to her mare friend's touches, "Oh please, I want more." Dash demented playing hard to get game came out, "Do you just want it, or do you need it?" she slyly asked. Fluttershy whimpered a bit, hoping she wouldn't have to ask too much, especially for something they both want, and that Das had started first. She started running her hooves through Dash's wings, trying to speed things along, "I need it baby, I need you Dash." Fluttershy said in her steadiest voice.

Rainbow Dash sat up, placing more pressure on Fluttershy's private parts. She moved her yellow hooves from her wings and held them in one hoof above her head and against the cloud. She used her other hoof to trace up and down Fluttershy's under side, each slow stroke coming closer to her main target. As her hooves kept themselves busy, she stretched her neck out as best she could to the left. She started licking Fluttershy's wing, over the ridges of her scars, always sensitive to touch, to preening her majestic feathers. After few moments of this foreplay Rainbow Dash sat up. Her hungry magenta eyes piercing Fluttershy's lustful blue ones.

The idea she got from the stallion entered her head, deciding now was the best time to suggest it. "Hey Shy, have you ever heard of road head?" Fluttershy looked confused, wondering Rainbow Dash chose now of all times to stop and ask about that. Fluttershy looked around the clear sky. "I don't get it, we aren't even on the road, we're in the air?" the pink mane beauty pondered to herself "I don't follow Rainbow. I'm not very familiar with the term." Dash's smile broadened. Well, stay on your back and face the other way, like 69ing. Fluttershy still looked confused, but this position gave her lover easier access to her vagina.

The buttery mare did as told, settling in comfortably into the cloud. "Ok, I'm secure." Fluttershy stated, patiently waiting to feel her mare friend. Rainbow Dash traced her hoof over the length of Fluttershy's body, making her arch her back and moan. "Let me explain. Road head is basically going down on somepony while they drive, or in this case, fly. So how's about my sweet thing encourages her number one flier to push on, and I can play with you?" Dash said, intent on making this a fun flight. Realization hit Fluttershy like a carrot from Angel. She assumed giving head only meant to a stallion, but the idea seemed alluring.

Fluttershy paused for a moment, thinking of how much dating Rainbow Dash changed her, making her bolder and more experimental. Dash looked worried at her mare friend's silence, wondering if she had somehow messed. Then Fluttershy licked her lips suggestively, seducing the rainbow pony. "Come here and let's see if can make you cum as fast as you fly." Fluttershy said in her most alluring voice. The yellow mare surprised herself, not knowing where any of that came from. But the way Dash's moth hung open, eyes bulging and wings buzzing in excitement, she knew she must have done it right.

Rainbow Dash had to take control of herself for a moment, "Oh baby! Wow, you keep up this act and I won't last a minute you sexy Shy you!" Rainbow complimented enthusiastically as she took her place above her lover. She spread how now hardened wings, looking down between her legs to see Fluttershy dragging her hoof dangerously close to her pleasure zone. Rainbow Dash brought her gaze back up to the skies, focusing on flapping her wings.

Fluttershy toyed with the clitoris with her hoof, making Dash's whole body jolt up. Dash's magenta eyes rolled to the back of her head for a moment as she mumbled incoherently. Fluttershy was happy to see her mare friend flustered for a change. She closed her eyes, fully trusting in Rainbow's ability to fly the cloud. She bumped her nose lightly against Dash's clitoris, making the standing pegasus tremble a little in her spot. Fluttershy let out a soft moan as she used the very tip of her tongue to flick Rainbow's fun zone.

This made the rainbow mare all the more excited. She was surprised to see that even with her wings hard, they still made very strong flaps, even if slow. But they kept them flying through the sky at a very brisk pace. Dash panted and moan as Fluttershy's increased her licking, the thought of being caught making it all the more exciting. Dash bit her lip hard as Fluttershy decided it was time to dive within her folds, licking up her wetness. Fluttershy pressed her muzzle into Rainbow, and hummed happily, making the receiving mare pant hard and her wings flap more desperately. Rainbow Dash licked a hoof and pressed it against Fluttershy's entrance. She played with Fluttershy's clit, making her use her mouth all the more.

"Oh baby, oh buck. Fluttershy' don't stop what you're doing. Holy Celestia you are so freaking hot! Wow, this is amazing!" Dash cheered her on as she stuck her hoof in just the right angle that her mare friend liked it. Rainbow Dash felt Fluttershy moan into her opening. At this point even her tail was spinning to try and move faster and release some of this tension building up. Fluttershy rubbed her hooves up and down the muscular legs as her tongue continued exploring inside of her mare friend. Rocking her head back and fourth she slipped her tongue in and out of her lover. Dash's senses were on overload as she dug her hoof deeper into Fluttershy. The star flier came as Fluttershy wiggled her tongue around and around inside her. Rainbow Dash howled like a wolf, her orgasm pushing them even faster.

Fluttershy felt her mare friend tighten around her tongue. She was so close as well, feeling her self throb in anticipation. Rainbow Dash rode her orgasm until its last wave. She felt her special somepony rub at her groin, "Dashie, I'm waiting!" she heard Fluttershy call out. Dash bent low and sucked on Fluttershy's awaiting clit as she used one hoof to rock her insides. Fluttershy tensed up as she hid her face in Dash's rainbow tell, still moist from her own juices. She moaned loudly as Dash kept at her ministrations, until she finally felt the release she had been longing for. Rainbow Dash felt Fluttershy go limp under her.

The cyan mare felt pretty spent, but knew she had to continue flying in order to save their good time. She pulled Fluttershy to be facing the same direction as her, although lying on her belly this time. She rested her body on top of hers for a few moments. She nuzzled into the soft pink mane, nibbling on her ear while she stroked her face. "I can never get tired of making love to you Shy. Thank you for giving me this incredible gift. All complete, your body, your heart, your love. I am so blessed to have the world's best pony as my special somepony." Rainbow Dash whispered into her ear after a few nibbles. She heard Fluttershy give a little sigh of contentment, "I'm the lucky one. I have the pony everypony admires most in my arms and heart every day." Fluttershy whispered back, a little yawn escaping.

Rainbow Dash chuckled, planting a soft kiss on her head as she placed their flight goggles back on. "I want my dream filly to rest up now, you just let your awesome mare friend sail the skies." Dash said as she took off at a comfortable pace. Fluttershy looked up at her, "Are you sure Dashie? I feel so bad making you do all the work." Rainbow Dash ruffled her mane, making her fix it. "It's no biggie Shy. Nothing The Dash can't handle. Now I want you to rest up, I need my number one flier at her best when we arrive." Rainbow ordered as she picked up speed, the wind waking her up all the more.

Fluttershy just settled herself in the cloud, the breeze feeling nice while Dash's warmth was like a blanket to her. "Ok… Dashie!" she yawned again as her mare friend's expert flying drifted her off to sleep. Rainbow Dash snuck a few peaks at her sleeping form, a slight blush to her cheeks as she felt her heart swell, "I am the luckiest pony in all of Equestria to have such a perfect mare for my own. Gosh, I love you Fluttershy, I'm never gonna stop loving you." She said quietly as she brushed her hoof through the yellow mare's soft mane. "I'm never gonna let you go." She whispered as she focused her attention back on the sky. The remainder of the flight was peaceful for the sky loving pegasus. She flew at a comfortable speed, which was still very fast by most ponies. She controlled the cloud expertly, making sure Fluttershy could have a peaceful sleep.

With the constant wind blowing through her mane, fur, and tail, Rainbow Dash was very comfortable. Her sweat instantly cooled her, although after a few hours she felt her wings start to cramp. She muddled through, always a pony to push herself. Whenever she got bored she looked down to the pony sleeping happily below between her fore hooves. She thought about all the fun things she had planned for their little get away, including some well deserved alone time without any pets to worry about. Rainbow Dash felt she needed a little breather. It was about four o clock and Rainbow Dash fixed her wings to slow down the cloud.

They were above a grassy green field that was sprinkled with fig trees that looked like the perfect place to have a pit stop. Once the cloud was still she nuzzled the back of Fluttershy's neck. If one didn't listen carefully enough, you wouldn't even be able to hear the resting mare breath, she was so comfortable. Fluttershy made the most adorable mumble sound that Dash had ever heard. Fluttershy shifted her face to be pressed against the cloud. Rainbow was all smiles at the display of cuteness that was waking Fluttershy. She started nibbling on her right ear, making her yellow wings spring open and her head lift abruptly in surprise.

Her ear was still in the prankster pegasus' lips as she looked around, confused. Rainbow Dash let her full weight rest upon Fluttershy, making her squeak, finally letting go of the ear. Fluttershy turned her head to see a cocky looking rainbow mare grinning like she just beat a game. Fluttershy made an annoyed whimper at being woken up as she raised her hooves to rub the sleep from her eyes. "I swear to Celestia, a pony being so cute just isn't fair!" Dash thought in her mind as her excitement grew.

The cyan mare nuzzled the side of the sleepy pony's cheek, earning a well received giggle. Fluttershy lightly pushed Rainbow's head away from her as best as she could, "I love waking up to this beautiful face Dashie, but you smell pretty bad." Dash laughed it off, taking a whiff of her under arm and grinning sheepishly. "Yeah well, I have been flying super hard for hours and hours. Besides, my super sexy bod was sweating all over you while we were in the air, so your super sexy flank needs a little freshening up to!" Dash teased.

Fluttershy grimaced as she noticed her back did indeed feel wet. Dash moved off of her, letting her stand up and stretch out. "Well what are we going to do? I don't see any place we can wash up." Fluttershy worried, feeling a little gross. Rainbow Dash already had the rope in her teeth. She rubbed noses really fast with Fluttershy before zipping down and tying them down to a tree. She reappeared, hovering lazily above the now fully awake Fluttershy. Dash pointed to a perfect cloud a few yards above them that looked like t was full of water. "We can take a quick swim through that cloud. I do it all the time, it's very refreshing after an intense work out before I hit the shower at home." Dash explained.

Fluttershy smiled, "Well, it has been so long since I took a dip in a water cloud. That sounds just perfect Rainbow." Dash snickered to herself, "Well of course, this is me you are talking to Shy." Dash responded as she plucked Fluttershy off the cloud bridal style and flew them to the higher cloud. It was fairly big and deep, perfect for a swim in moisture. Dash flipped Fluttershy around so they were hugging each other as she nose dived into the cloud. Fluttershy screamed her tiny scream, hiding her face in Dash's neck, inflating her ego some more. They emerged, mane and tail dampened slightly. They did a few wing strokes in the cloud, little puffs of white floating up and disappearing whenever their hooves made contact.

"Do you think Scootaloo has ever swam through a cloud Dashie? I think doing something like that would be very good for her, and it would be some good sister bonding, miss honorary sister." Fluttershy suggested, wanting the two reckless pegasi to get some quality time together. Rainbow Dash did a few flips in the cloud, reemerging with a cloud beard, making Fluttershy hold her mouth shut, trying to hide her laughter. Rainbow Dash shook the cloud off her face, her mane already sticking to her head, moisture turning into wetness. One eye was covered by her prismatic mane, giving her a mysterious look that Fluttershy blushed slightly at. "That sounds pretty good actually. I don't think she has. It would be good for her to experience some pegasus activities." Dash agreed as she quickly paddled her way toward her lover and pulled her into an embrace.

Fluttershy's wet mane looked very attractive to the rainbow flier, who gave a mock growl to Fluttershy's surprise before locking lips and running her hooves up and down her body. Fluttershy moaned softly, her sounds becoming more expressive as Dash moved her lips to her sweet spot on her neck. "D-Dashie! Are you… ah, you really in the mood… oh my… for seconds?" Fluttershy said between moans, Dash expertly navigating her body to hit all the right places. Dash looked up, a gleam in her eyes as she stared directly into Fluttershy's. "You should know by know if you're around, I'm in the mood. How about you?" she said coolly, brushing muzzles with her.

Fluttershy made a groan, body telling her one thing, mind another. "Well, as nice as it sounds, we should be resting so we can make it to our destination." Fluttershy squeaked out, hoping she didn't somehow disappoint her mare friend. Dash sighed, nuzzling her once again. "I guess you make a good point. But you just wait until we have settled into our room. Pow, bang bang! I'm going to blow you away!" Fluttershy's breathing quickened at the promise. She controlled herself and she made another suggestion. "There's a nice flower meadow, let's relax there for a bit, please." Dash chuckled at how polite Fluttershy always was.

They glided down there, shaking the moisture from their fur. Fluttershy jumped and grabbed Rainbow Dash by the shoulders, bringing her down. They rolled and played in the violets, teasing each other and enjoying the close contact while surrounded by the field of purple. Rainbow rested on her back, Fluttershy nestled on top of her. Rainbow Dash brought up her hooves to massage her back, Fluttershy cooing and moaning her thanks. "Nice idea rolling in the flowers Shy. What made my pretty filly think of it?" Dash wondered aloud. Fluttershy hid her face into Rainbow's strong chest, giggling softly, "Well, the cloud rinsed us off, but the flowers will make us smell good." Fluttershy said softly.

Dash's eyes snapped open at the realization. Fluttershy nuzzled into Dash's neck, making the element of loyalty close her eyes again and purr like an over grown cat. "You smell so pretty Dashie." Fluttershy complimented as she breathed in her lover's natural scent mixed in with violets. Rainbow Dash enjoyed the cuddling, "You mean I smell so awesome." Dash corrected, ever the tomcolt. They eventually exited from the meadow, picked some figs from the tree, and returned to the cloud. They cuddled up close to each other, feeding each other figs and some packed candied almonds through their kisses, tails wrapped around each other and Fluttershy feeling brave enough to wrap the bold pegasus in a wing hug.

After their little rest Dash stood up and stretched out her wings. She offered the flight goggles to Fluttershy before putting on her own, "Alright beautiful, I think if I haul tail we can make it before sun down." Dash estimated. Fluttershy hurried as she positioned herself under her mare friend and clutched at the cloud. She knew what was coming and didn't like it. "Now Dashie, this isn't a race, it's a vacation. You don't have to do anything crazy now." Rainbow Dash brought her body low, making sure her tail was wrapped around Fluttershy's waist for safety. "Hay yeah it's a race Shy. And Celestia's sun itself is the competition! Now let's see if this cloud can handle a Sonic Rainboom!" Dash said, her adrenaline rush kicking in. Fluttershy looked up, petrified, "No Rainbow, this is a rental!" the slow paced pegasus tried to reason. Dash chuckled, "I got full insurance on it!" She yelled back. Before Fluttershy could even get a syllable out Dash took off at full speed.

They flew upward at dangerous speeds, Fluttershy's eyes watering even with her goggles on. Both their lips pulled back, ears flat, manes whipping in the air. A trail of white, pink, and rainbow could be seen, Fluttershy seeing their cloud breaking through the sound barrier. Then Dash performed her signature trick, releasing an explosion of a rainbow, sending the ground shaking as they high tailed it south. They arrived to Foalrida in less than an hour from their pit stop, the sun not even setting yet.

Fluttershy stuck to the cloud in awe, "I can't believe we survived!" she shakily said. "Believe it hot stuff! Woo we made great time, thanks to the both of us may I add! So, how did you like experiencing the Sonic Rainboom?" Dash asked all perky. Fluttershy was still trying to catch her breath, feeling the cloud, amazed it made it through. They sre built these foalvos tough. "Speechless huh? Understandable, it is a truly amazing thng performed by a truly amazing pony. Wasn't it just great to be in the hold of your lover while doing such a thing?" Dash asked. Fluttershy looked up to her. She may have been terrified, but she wouldn't do such a thing with anypony else. She really did trust her with her life. "It was an experience I will never forget." Fluttershy honestly replied. Dash nuzzled her, "Sexy even?" Dash pestered, hopeful. Fluttershy hid her reddening face under her mane, proof enough that she did like it in some horrifying sort of way, "Yes, sexy." She meeped out.

Dash laughed, helping them down and tying the cloud. They were at this big restaurant slash sports bar that her dad and Fluttershy's parents agreed on. They arrived about an hour early, so she decided they could pass the time with some drinks and pool. They drank some light stuff and played pool in silence, both with their unnerving thoughts about meeting each other's parents and telling them such unexpected news that made their stomachs tie in thoughts. Fluttershy visibly showed her stress, whining without reason and barely concentrating on the game. The only reason she wasn't a mess was because Rainbow Dash was there to constantly comfort her and provide her with things to take her mind off of it.

Inside the cyan mare's mind was flooding with different scenarios. She tried to remain positive, she knew even if her father didn't agree, he would still have her back. He did on everything. What the element of loyalty was really worried about was Fluttershy's parents, specifically her father. She knew that their opinion was heavy on Fluttershy's mind, in fact, last night they made a promise not to talk about this conversation until they got here so the yellow mare wouldn't faint on the trip. Rainbow Dash had met Fluttershy's father only a hoofful of times in her life, while during her fillyhood, she saw her mom almost every day. She knew Sunbeam to be a caring individual, and even though she worried and complained about Fluttershy moving to the ground, she still helped and encouraged her. But Sunburst, she always remembered how Fluttershy was shyer around him than even ponies in school, just because she was so frightened of him. And Fluttershy's mom and her dad were friend's, and she would hear complaints of how strict he was on his ideas, and what a tough pony he was in general that made him such a good leader for Celestia's royal army.

All these conflicting thoughts flew in Dash's mind as she tried to project being cool and calm for her mare friend's sake. She looked to Fluttershy, who was honestly looking a little green. Rainbow Dash raised her chin with her hoof to make the blue eyes meet hers, "Listen Fluttershy, no matter what happens here today, I'm going to keep on loving you, and their ain't NO WAY anypony's going to change that." Rainbow Dash promised in a quiet enough voice that it could only reach the animal lover's ears. Fluttershy's eyes shown with unshed tears as she gave a wobbly smile and held Dash's hoof in her face. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes for a moment, the emotion of it all a little too much for her until she controlled herself.

They let go as they heard the door open, and took a step apart once they noticed it was their parents. Rainbow Dash gulped, her body held high, the only things betraying her nervousness her twitching tail and ears that were flat against her head. Once Sunbeam noticed them and waved, she saw Fluttershy shrink into a ball half her size, "I-I-I g-g-gotta go to the, to the, b-bathroom!" she stuttered out in a frantic voice. Dash's eyes grew wide at being left alone, but Fluttershy took off at some of the fastest Dash had ever seen her to the little filly's room. Sunbeam cocked her head, confused at the display, to which all Rainbow could do was smile. Rainbow let out a girly sigh as she walked over to the trio.

She was more than a little surprised once her eyes laid upon Sunburst. He was still a huge stallion of a pegasus. Pegasi almost never got that big, and that enough made him a little intimidating. But his eyes didn't hold that stern iron look to them that she remembered staring bravely into when she was a filly trying to defend Fluttershy. In fact, Dash may even dare to say that this was softness she saw in his eyes. His body language still held that feel of authority, but it wasn't the over bearing feeling she remembered. "Why does he lok even biggwer than I remember? I've grown!" she thought, confused. That short trimmed military mane she also remembered was now free to grow to average stallion length. And what caught Dash's eye was his moustache.

"Hello there offspring of mine, long time no see!" Flash said in his joking voice, fun shinning through his eyes. Rainbow Flash and Sunbeam were both smiling happily at the cyan mare, not having seen her in a long time. "Dad!" she yelled as she tackled hugged him. They hugged for a moment before Dash's coolness decided it was long enough. She really looked at him and almost couldn't hold in her laughter. "Oh… my gosh dad! Pft, what is that on your face?" she giggled and pointed to the very odd rainbow moustache he was wearing above his smile.

He closed his eyes and showed it off at different angles to his daughter. Sunbeam joined in on the giggles and Rainbow Dash had to double take when Sunburst smiled at the comment. "You like it?" he so mockingly asked. Rainbow Dash couldn't hold it in anymore as she rolled on the floor, dying of laughter. Sunbeam slung an arm over the stallion in question, "I told you, you look ridiculous." She teased. He made an over dramatic hmph as he toyed with the flashy facial hair. "Well I think it makes me look distinguished." He defended. "What in Equestria made you grow it out pops!" Dash laughed, still on the floor, unable to stand. He glared at her, "I lost a bet with him." He bitterly said as he pointed to Sunburst. The smirking stallion gave a hearty chuckle. Flash toyed with his stache again, "He wanted somepony to grow one out with him. I can shave it tomorrow." Dash shook her head side to side, "Old guys, I swear!" she laughed on the inside. "I'm sure Minerva will be pleased, kiss me to when it's gone." Flash said in a matter of fact tone.

Rainbow's ears perked as she stopped laughing instantly, "Minerva!?" Dash questioned. Flash smirked at her as he tussled her rainbow mane that they both shared, "It's been a while since my little girl has even written a letter to dear old dad. You'll get to meet her tomorrow, I'm certain." He explained. Rainbow Dash laid on the floor, feeling guilty that she had been ignoring her father, practically her only family. But only one word escaped her lips, "Kiss?" she questioned aloud as she stood up and stared her father in his golden eyes. He only smirked as the very quiet Sunburst stood up, towering over them.

"So, what's wrong with my daughter that she had to run to the bathroom and hide from her parents?" Sunburst asked, looking unamused. Rainbow straightened up instantly, all the fun seemingly sucked out of her. "Yeah, we had a long flight, so she is probably just nervous or something, How about you three find a nice booth to sit in and I will check on her." Dash offered with a fake smile, trying to hide her nervousness.

As she turned to make her way to the bathroom, Sunbeam made her voice known. "Rainbow Dash, after her wings just heal up, you allowed her to fly all the way from Ponyville to Foalrida?" the older mare asked in a worried tone very similar to Fluttershy's. This question made Rainbow's heart stop as her muscles froze. "HOLY BUCKING CRAP! They know about that? " Rainbow Dash thought in horror. She could feel her muscles tremble and her stomach doing more flips than what she is used to as she forced herself to look at them. "Of course they would know about that, their her bucking parents! I'm sure Fluttershy was allowed to write while she was in the hospital. Oh no, how much do they know? Did they know it was me? What about what I did to make up for it, do they know, would they even care. I would be pissed if somepony pushed my child to try and rip off their wings! I need to talk to Fluttershy!" Dash thought in the instant that she snapped her head around.

She wore another fake smile, unable to see any expression but confusion on the yellow couple. "Uh, well, I actually rented a cloud for us to ride so I could do the flying here. I don't want her pushing herself. But you two would be proud, while I was napping she flew the cloud for two whole hours without a problem. That's her best distance yet since she became airborne again." Dash said truthfully, praying that they wouldn't suddenly turn on her. A look of relief took Sunbeam's face as Sunburst wore a proud smile. "What a strong young mare she is becoming. Go ahead and get her Rainbow Dash, we will get the seats and order appetizers." Sunburst said in his booming voice as he led the other two toward the seating area.

Rainbow Dash fell on her flank, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Oh my gosh! I need to talk to Fluttershy and see what they know." Dash said aloud as she ran to the little filly's room. She burst in, scaring Fluttershy into the air as the quiet pony hugged herself. Dash noticed she wasn't looking as pale, but was too freaked out to really waste time on it. "Fluttershy! We need to talk and figure out a game plan about talking to your parents." Dash begged as she lay on the ground pulling her colorful mane. Fluttershy smiled as she glided to the ground next to her mare friend.

"Ok Rainbow Dash. I think!" Fluttershy tried to speak but was pulled into a tight hug. Rainbow Dash pressed her face against Fluttershy's, looking freaked out. "I didn't know they knew about your wings Shy! Shit, how am I going to get them to like me, I don't even like me now. I'm so stupid to think this would work!" Rainbow complained, her eyes bugging out and fur standing on end. She shook Fluttershy slightly as she spoke, fear gripping her heart. Dash let go and the yellow mare tried to speak, the bolder pegasus instantly pressed her hooves on Fluttershy's cheeks, squishing them together, disabling her from speaking. "I should have known Fluttershy! After all the terrible things I did to you, I think I can just waltz into your parents' good side and be happy! Buck! What are we going to do?" Rainbow Dash pleaded aloud to no one in particular.

Fluttershy decided she needed to take action before her mare friend blew a fuse. She swiftly raised her hoof to be placed on the lips of her lover. Rainbow Dash's stream of words stopped immediately, blinking helplessly, hoping her mare friend had thought of something. Fluttershy gave her a few moments to catch her breath before removing her hoof. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, fixing her mane that Rainbow had unintentionally messed up. Rainbow Dash looked worried, but sat quietly until she heard what her mare friend had to say. The animal lover put her hooves on the wind rider's chest, slowing her breathing.

"Rainbow, first I need you to control yourself. Take ten deep breaths, in and out, slowly please." Fluttershy ordered politely. Dash pursed her lips together in a frown, but complied. With each breath, her head became clearer and the feel of Fluttershy's hooves brought her comfort. By the tenth breath, Rainbow Dash opened her magenta eyes and looked appreciatively at her love. She barely now realized that Fluttershy was very calm as opposed to a nervous wreck she saw her as several moment ago. "Are you not scared anymore Fluttershy?" Dash asked, ears flat against her head out of embarrassment. Fluttershy gave another one of her kind smiles, "She looks just like a little filly when she's like this." The kind mare thought to herself. "Well of course I'm still very nervous, but I have to remember all the things Shrink taught me to do when I feel like a panic attack is coming. Because losing control over every little thing won't help us any." Fluttershy explained.

Rainbow puffed out her chest, feeling a new vigor in her. "Well, if my sweet Flutters is being so brave, then I got to be brave with her and stand by her side." Dash stated, feeling in control again. They took a seat calmly in front of each other. Dash took another deep breath, "So, how much do your parents know?" she asked. "They knew I was in the hospital. I told them I had a really bad accident, a-and that it was by my hooves, during my last session with Shrink. They were very disappointed and worried. They were going to make a straight flight over here. But Dr. Shrink talked to them over the phone. He explained a lot of things about how I needed some time to heal, that I was safe. I wanted them t-to know as little as possible about what had been going on." Fluttershy sobbed a little, "I felt like the worse pony alive for making my mother cry." The quiet mare admitted shamefully. Rainbow Dash hung her head low, feeling responsible for this. She pilled Fluttershy into a hug, letting her hide her face in her mane. "So he convinced them to give me a month, although we wrote to each other. I told them I needed to figure some things out before I could handle telling them face to face, they still don't know the full extent of damage I did. Things must h-have been busy for them because they n-never forced a visit."

Rainbow took this all in. She knew she had to make this right, she would take whatever their parents threw at her. She just wished she didn't have to do it in front of her dad. She sighed, "Alright, so we will just approach this like adults, rationally and calmly. What's done is done, we have both made changes, for the better. We truly love each other, we want to be together and make each other happy. And they're just going to have to accept it." Dash said sternly and proudly, her arms still wrapped around Fluttershy's shoulders. Fluttershy nodded and nuzzled her lovingly. "Lead the way Dashie." She said quietly.

Rainbow planted a soft kiss to her head before slowly getting up and walking out. She placed her hoof on the door, looking back at her mare friend. "Even if I can't get your parents' approval, no matter what, I'm gonna keep on loving you Shy." The flashy pegasus said in an unusually soft tone. Fluttershy snuck up closer, nuzzling her again and wrapping her tail around the prismatic one. Dash put on her brave face and opened the door for her mare friend. They walked on out together, although not as close as they were in the bathroom.

They spotted Flash waving his hooves, flagging them down. The two young mares looked at each other and smiled, "What's that on his face?" Fluttershy asked, feeling a lighter mood set in. Dash was blushing at how funny her father looked, "Our dad's decided to grow out their mustaches. It's so embarrassing." Rainbow Dash made a snort of a laugh while Fluttershy politely smiled. They arrived at the booth to see some food laid out on the table. Fluttershy and Sunbeam brightened up instantly at seeing each other, Fluttershy ever the mama's girl.

Sunburst tried to move out of the booth for his wife but she fluttered right over him to land in front of her daughter. Rainbow Dash sat there smiling at seeing how happy the two yellow mares made each other as they hugged. "Oh my sweet little Shy Shy… I'm so happy… to see my sweet little filly… all in one piece. Mama missed you so much." Sunbeam said, covering her daughter's face in kisses, practically in tears as she bunched up her cheeks with her hooves much like Dash had done a few moments ago. Fluttershy sat there, eye to eye with her mother, somehow smiling threw her face being bunched up. They hugged each other not caring who saw.

All of a sudden Rainbow Dash was grabbed without warning by her father as he planted sloppy kisses over her face. "Oh my sweet little Dashie! Muah muah muah, daddy has missed you ever so! Why don't you ever call or write? Muah!" He said in a mocking tone, over exaggerating his kisses to his daughter. Rainbow Dash could see Sunbeam and Fluttershy giggling. "No, no! Stop it dad, quit it!" she tried to push her dad and get away. Flash was strong and being an ex MMA fighter he was really good and grappling and holds. He held onto his daughter, smiling evilly as he continued to embarrass his her. "But my sweetie filly, Daddy missed you!" he joked as he pursed his lips for a kiss. Rainbow's face was pure horror, turning red at looking so uncool. She pushed his face away with her hooves, pulling her face away as far as she could.

Sunbeam released Fluttershy and the timid mare walked to the rainbow pair. "Rainbow Dash, you should be more happy to see your father after so long." She said sincerely. Flash whinnied at this, smiling his goofy smile, "Yeah, listen to your friend Dashie. Because Daddy loves you oof!" Flash was cut off when his daughter planted a little sucker punch to his stomach that he wasn't prepared for. Dash wiggled free from her father's hold, looking rather pissed at being the butt of his joke. "Come on Dad, I'm a full grown mare. No more of that baby fluffy stuff. Please!"

She looked to a sad looking Fluttershy who was scuffing her hoof at the ground. "Oh yeah, she's older than me and she loves that stuff." Dash nervously thought. Sunbeam put her hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder, "A pony is never too old to be loved by their parents Dash. We will always love you girls no matter what. And one day your dad won't be here, so I suggest enjoying his crazy antics while you can." Sunbeam lectured. The two young mares made a sigh of relief at the messages of being loved no matter what. Everypony turned when Sunburst finally stood up.

He held the same stern look on his face that Dash had seen. He opened up one arm and smiled softly. Rainbow Dash still couldn't believe that Fluttershy wasn't intimidated by her father anymore as she skipped to him. "Daddy!" Fluttershy called out. His smiled only grew as his giant arm held her like a toddler, "Princess!" he said in a softer voice than he was using before. "Didn't she used to address him as father or sir? Since when did he soften up? Have I been out of the loop that long?" Dash thought as he saw them cuddle. Fluttershy sat between her parents, looking like a happy little filly nuzzled between them.

Rainbow Dash sat on the inside next to her father, sending him a fake stink eye. He smirked at her, "Don't you look at your father like that missy, of I will embarrass you so bad." She stopped instantly, "Please don't Dad. That terrible thing on your face feels weird scratching mine" He pulled his daughter into another hug, "You mean like this!" he started rubbing his muzzle on the top of her head, making her squirm, "Hey, stop Dad!" she complained. They all laughed and settled down, serving their portions of food. Rainbow Dash kept up with Sunburst and Flash on eating, to the bigger stallion's surprise.

Flash finished his portion first, wiping his mouth before speaking, "So, what have you girls been up to in Ponyville? Any new super villains you needed to stop before they ruined the world?" he half joked. Both of Fluttershy's parent's eyes went wide, all three of the older ponies equally worried by all the dangerous adventures their daughters and their friends had by order of the Princess and for the good of them all. "Just this show off unicorn named Trixie, nothing too big. Our friend Twilight wiped the floor with her last time. So she resorted to cheating and enslaved the whole town. Fluttershy did this awesome covert mission. She went under cover, snuck out of the dome spell she had the town under with her control of animals. She got us the important info needed to beat this Trixie's butt again." Dash bragged on her mare friend's behalf.

The older ponies were impressed, Sunbeam looking horrified at some more dangerous living her daughter had to do. Fluttershy hid behind her mane, "It was a t-team effort." She quietly let slip out. All five ponies shared a laugh about how things were. Flash shared how he met Minerva and how she was, to which Dash listened carefully. So far she only heard good things, and was happy her dad was seeing somepony.

Flash leaned back in his seat, arms over the back rest, "So really nothing much else new with you two? Why make all the big fuss of getting us all here together then? Wanted a pegasus reunion? Maybe you two decided to play for the other team now?" Flash joked as he used a toothpick. Both young mares had a look of utter shock on their faces, Fluttershy's eyes never leaving her plate while Rainbow Dash had to use a napkin to wipe her forehead. Sunbeam playfully reached over the table and play slapped Flash, "Stop embarrassing the poor dears Flash, or we will probably have to wait a decade to get them to visit." She play scolded.

The older pegasi chuckling to themselves, happy to have their daughters together and meeting with friends. Rainbow took a sharp breath as her eyes met with Fluttershy's. The cyan mare felt herself shrink at the dilemma to come, playing with the crumbs of her food. Fluttershy raised a hoof to her mouth and coughed, "Excuse me." She said in a small voice. The laughing ponies stopped their merriment and looked to her, "Y-y-you see, Mr. Rainbow Flash was correct in assu… assuming that Rainbow Dash and I are dating." With each word Fluttershy's small voice became squeakier and shakier, her body trembling at her confession.

The new found silence at the table was painful for all there. A waiter came by to check on them and quickly turned and walked away, the awkward sense the driving force. The fast flying mare could only hear her heart beat as everypony at the table sat wide eyed. Dash winched when she felt her father's arm fall on her shoulders, "Y-you're pulling our wings, right girls?" he asked, hoping this was payback for all the teasing he did. Rainbow gulped, not looking her father in the eye as she slowly shook her head no.

Fluttershy was not fairing much better, she was beginning to feel dizzy from the stress, having to focus on her breathing technique. Her heart stopped when she felt her mother put her gentle hoof on hers. She looked up to one of the most important mares of her life who had brought her to this world. Her eyes filled with tears of joy at seeing only concern and love reflected back from her mother. The tender connection was short lived when they heard a hoof slam on the table, making everypony jump. Rainbow's eyes darted to Sunburst's gaze as he stared harshly at her. "What?" he growled at her. Inside Rainbow Dash felt like hiding under her dad's wing, but outside she kept on staring with an equally cold resolve.

He turned back to stare down his daughter who looked back up at him, wearing the same fear of him she had as a child. "What do you mean dating Fluttershy?" he yelled at her, his loud voice returning. Rainbow Dash felt her blood boil at seeing her mare friend being yelled at, even if by her own father. "We are dating each other Sunburst, sir." She said flatly, trying her best to remain polite for Fluttershy's sake. Her heart hurt when she felt her father's arm slip off of her and back down to his side. "I am not asking you Rainbow Dash, I am talking to my daughter. What do you mean dating?" he repeated after casting her annoyed look. Fluttershy put on her bravest face, her mother sitting above her, her hooves on her shoulders. "Sunny dear, keep your voice down, we are in public." Sunbeam tried to quiet him down, using her pet name Dash didn't know he had.

A frown on his face he huffed angrily, "I am trying to remain calm, but my daughter and one of my best friend's daughter just decided to pop out of no where and say their doing, oh Celestia knows what!" He tried to quiet his voice, only for it to return at the thought of his daughter being sexually active. Everypony was surprised when Fluttershy sat up on the seat, trying to be on her father's level, "And what's wrong with Dashie and I dating Daddy? I didn't think it would matter to you as long as we're happy. A-and I love her, and damn it all she loves me to!" Fluttershy defended in a strong voice, not letting up. Sunburst reared his head back in surprise, never hearing his daughter curse. "Well there is something the matter Shy, you are still a little filly. You just don't know what love is, you aren't ready for something like this! And damn it, you are my little girl, I'm not going to sit down and watch you get hurt. Rainbow Dash just isn't good enough for you!" he said sternly. Both Ponyville residents were about to argue back when Flash became vocal again.

"Now wait just a minute there Sunny Boy, my daughter is a fine pony, she is more than good enough for anypony." He defended. Sunburst growled at him for using that silly old nick name. He leaned forward at him, "Look I know it's not what you want to hear, but what has Rainbow Dash done. She dropped out of flight school! And you said yourself she was kicked out of the Wonderbolt Flight Academy. My daughter has been making something of herself, and I don't want her being dragged down by a failure. And she gets her ability to succeed from me!" he shot back, trying to attack their integrity.

Rainbow Dash gritted her teeth, hating being talked about in such a way. Flash slammed his hooves on the table, leaning forward and pressing his face against Sunburst's aggressively, "You moron. She has saved the world just as many times as Fluttershy. And where were you during most of your daughter's fillyhood? Away in the army, It was me and Sunbeam here raising these two. You barely came in when Dash left. And by the way, my daughter had been taking care of and looking after yours everyday in school while she was there. If anything, I should be worried about your Fluttershy distracting her from her life long dreams and getting her in even more fights!"

Rainbow felt her ears ringing from the debate going on between fathers, Fluttershy already laying her head on the table and covering her ears. All of a sudden Sunbeam flew out of her seat and hovered in between the two stallions. "Stop it you two numbskulls! You are acting like idiots in front of your children and everypony!" she yelled, losing her cool. Both stallions sat back down, looking shocked, mouths hung open. Sunbeam faced her husband angrily, "You are being absolutely unreasonable Sunny! You haven't even given them a chance to explain. And if you don't shut that fat mouth of yours and use those ears and listen to that heart, I won't ever forgive you! And you know I have forgiven a lot!" she threatened. He instantly lowered his head, his wife's words getting to him. Both young mares looked shocked at this dainty creature less than half his size put him in his place.

She turned to Flash, whose ears drooped and smiled guiltily at her. "And Flash, I am surprised at you. I understand you want to defend you daughter, but to resort to name calling and trying to belittle Fluttershy. We made a promise to look after both of these girls as our own. What would Firefly say if she heard you screaming this way?" The words struck a chord as his golden eyes watered and he looked down shamefully. She calmed down when she saw the pain she unintentionally caused him, and herself by bringing up her long since past best friend. She gracefully landed on the ground at the end of the table. She gave one death glare to the ponies who were staring, all of them suddenly very interested in their food.

She shut her eyes, rubbing at her temples, trying to calm down. She took a deep breath, no pony daring to make a sound until she said other wise. "Alright, now before we decide whether or not these two very accomplished and full grown ponies should continue on a decision that is theirs to make, we should let them both have a chance at explaining things to us. And as their parents, it is our job to listen, and to try our best to lead them in the best direction, not control every choice they make!" she said sternly, staring down at her husband for good measure. He made a snort of defiance but kept his mouth shut anyway.

Sunbeam turned to her daughter, "So Fluttershy honey, why don't you tell us why you two decided on taking this big step?" she said in a sweet tone. After so much yelling happening at the table, Fluttershy's voice and courage were now gone, leaving behind her usually quiet demeanor. Sunbeam turned when she heard Rainbow Dash clear her voice, "Excuse me Sunbeam, uh, ma'am. But may I have a chance to speak on our behalf?" Dash asked, using her best manners, like she usually did around this mare. The older mare smiled back at the pegasus she had grown to love like a second daughter. "Please do Rainbow Dash." She answered back.

"Now there is a lot to tell in this story. And I know how important you two are to Fluttershy." She said as she looked to the married couple. She felt her heart pound. "And that's why I am not going to lie to any of you here, because if I do, and you ever found out, well, I just don't know how bad that would be." Dash stopped when she felt her dad's wing placed across her back. His golden eyes stared loving back into hers. "You know we will always love you girls." He tried to comfort her. She frowned at this as she looked away. "You may not be saying that after what I have to confess." She looked to see Fluttershy with pleading eyes, begging her not to continue. "I'm sorry Shy, but I made up my mind, and they should know." She said sadly as she looked to Sunbeam, "You may not think so highly of me or this relationship, but as her mare friend and you two being her parents, I feel I must apologize for what I have done." She repeated, ever the honest pony. And with a deep and painful sigh she told the tale of how she discovered she was in love with Fluttershy. "The beginning of our romance isn't a very happy one…" she started.

Rainbow's magenta eyes were filled with tears at retelling the lowest point in her life. She felt as her father's wing slipped off her again, losing what little support she had. Sunburst looked like he was going to burst, Fluttershy always putting her hoof on his arm, begging him to stop and listen. Rainbow rubbed at her sniffling nose slightly, "Well, I stayed the night, wanting to make sure she would be ok. And in the morning I walked her to the hospital where she was kept for three days to be evaluated." Dash explained. "That night, holding her while she slept, and those three days of non stop thinking of what I did to the pony I care for most, and if she will be ok, I realized I loved her. Of course it would take a while before I felt I deserved any of that love." Dash confessed, looking up to Sunburst's angry eyes. She wasn't sure if she made the smartest choice starting out like this, but it would be better than if they found out through someone else.

The retired army stallion remained fairly calm, shifting his gaze from Dash to her father. "Do you still think your daughter is any good for mine?" he asked in a serious and quiet tone. The question hurt Rainbow more than if he had chewed her out for being a terrible pony. And to know she caused her father so much shame was just another pain she would be forced to live with. Flash looked down to his distraught daughter whom he loved so. He knew he still loved her, but to hear her do something like that to her best friend, it honestly didn't seem like a good idea for the two to be dating. "And if this is Dashie's side of what happened, well, Fluttershy has always been a dear, how much worse is her perspective?" Flash thought, a sick feeling in his stomach. "Had I really done such a bad job raising you?" Flash said under his breath. Dash still managed to hear and it stung.

The rainbow mare looked fearfully to the pony who had been like a mother to her, and the pained disappointment in her eyes were like a knife to her heart. Sunbeam's stare made Dash lower her head to the table, feeling like a pony on trial. Then she heard her guardian angel speak up. She opened her eyes to see Fluttershy's staring back with so much love and admiration, that it managed to put a smile on her face. "You are all placing the blame on her, and she isn't deserving of that. My love may have said such terrible things, but she wasn't the one to rip out my feathers and ruin my wings! That was my own conscious choice! The feelings of despair I felt that night were not my first. I, I have thought about suicide since I was a l-little f-f-filly! She stuttered out boldly."

All three parents gasped at this. The tears now falling freely from Sunbeam's eyes, "No Fluttershy, you are and always have been such a good and happy filly. You could never…" Fluttershy made a sob, turning in her seat and placing her hooves on her mother's shoulders. "No mommy, I was a very unhappy filly. Everyday I went to school was hell. The day I met Dashie, I was so close to jumping off the clouds to my death. You and her were the two reasons I could never bring myself to do it. It's just, it's just, at the moment I thought I had lost our friendship. And I just wanted to sleep and never wake up, but my animals would need me. So I couldn't. But when I was so bent out of shape, ruining my wings so I would never have to hear about what a bad flyer I was again felt so promising!" Fluttershy sadly admitted. Her mother started wiping the tears off of the animal lover's face, looking into her eyes as if trying to find the source of such evil feelings to banish them away.

Sunburst sat there, not knowing how to comfort his daughter. He had missed out on so much of her life, and it seemed being a protector was all he knew. They never stopped holding each other, "I was in the hospital for so long because I was on suicide watch. My psychiatrist helped me through so much of my feelings, and how to release them positively and safely. So you can't all just sit there and hate Rainbow, she was only a small part of a problem I created and never dealt with properly." Fluttershy finished.

Rainbow sat there, amazed at how her mare friend could still defend her. Sunbeam let her go. She reached over the table and hugged her daughter's mare friend. "Oh Dash. It hurts me so what you said to my daughter. But the fact that you knew you were wrong, and came back to her rescue, almost makes up for it. And if you have helped her in building up her love for herself to never feel these feelings again, and you two truly love each other, how can we stand against you?" She openly admitted. This was definitely Fluttershy's mother, so easy to forgive. "Sunbeam, how can you forgive her so easily?" Sunburst grunted out. Dash was wondering the same thing.

She let go of the cyan mare and faced her husband. "How could I forgive you from missing our daughter's fillyhood? You don't think the way things used to be at home didn't make her feel those feelings? How could I forgive you getting so drunk, and saying how much you hated me, and how you wanted to stomp my stomach holding our unborn foal?" Fluttershy visibly cringed, her mother brought up that story during arguments, and knowing her father at one point wanted her dead didn't help her fillyhood anxieties she felt towards him. He reared his head back, "T-that was different. I never meant that! I loved you both so much! It was just the stress and alcohol talking!" he tried to defend himself, his darkest times rearing its ugly head. Sunbeam pressed her head forward, "And what was Dash's reason? She was at her lowest, that isn't a good reason to say what she said, but it's the same as yours. Is wanting to so brutally kill the life we created any better than what she said? How about the times you cheated on me, how could I forgive that?" There was a painful silence that tied everyponies' stomachs in knots. "That is how I can forgive her. Because she has done less, and I can see how sorry she was for it, and how she tried to fix it. If you can't show the same compassion given to you, oh don't even make me think about it Sunny!"

The stallion in question drooped his ears in shame. It was all sounding too familiar. And yet she somehow forgave him, and he somehow made it up to her. Because they were in love, and maybe if given the chance, the same could happen for their daughters. Flash put his hoof on his daughter's shoulders, "I'm sorry Dashie. I couldn't find a way to stand behind you, yet Sunbeam found a way to defend you and give you a chance." Dash shut her eyes and placed her hoof over her father's, "It's ok Dad. I still find it hard to defend myself for that night." The ponies all blew their noses and wiped their tears away. "There is more to our love story than a rocky beginning." Fluttershy timidly said with a blush.

They sat there for another hour, retelling how they danced around what they both wanted for what seemed like an eternity. Their first dates and intimacy shared, leaving out the more adult details. Sunbeam and Flash both seemed pulled into the sweet aspects of the story, but one more question was still lingering in Sunburst's mind. "So, Rainbow Dash, you are still staying in my daughter's cottage from the sound of it." It was more of a statement than a question. Rainbow kept her gaze on the strict stallion, not wanting to back down. "Yes sir, I am." She calmly said back. Fluttershy put both her hooves on Sunburst's giant one, shaking lightly to gain his attention. "Yes she is daddy, but, but she has been taking such good care of me the whole time. Not to mention she really pulls her weight around my home. Why, I don't know how I would have taken care of all my animals if not for her." She tried to cover for her.

He stared down at the tiny, in his eyes, creature that was his daughter. He then looked back to the cyan pegasus who captured her heart. "Well, that's good to hear. I don't want any free loaders taking advantage of my daughter. From what I have seen, and if you are anything like your father, please try not to eat her out of house and home." He joked, making all the ponies laugh. Rainbow Dash blushed, a fair concern brought up. Sunburst insisted on paying the bill for losing his cool. They all started for the door. Once outside, Dash showed them the cloud they rented. "Will you ladies mind if I have a private chat with Rainbow Dash here?" he asked politely, Flash frowning at the stab made at him. "No funny stuff Sunburst, she is still my daughter." Flash warned. Dash gulped as Sunburst smiled at him, "I wouldn't dream of it. It is a father's duty to make sure the stall… uh, pony dating his daughter knows about how to treat her. Please, feel free to talk with Fluttershy." He offered.

"If you all will excuse me to the ladies' room?" Sunbeam said as she gracefully flew back inside. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash made a desperate look to each other. "You coming Dash?" Sunburst called out. Rainbow smirked at Fluttershy, trying to give her courage. As soon as the yellow mare could not see her face, it was the picture of nervousness. Flash watched as his good friend and daughter walked away, leaving him with the mare he practically raised as his own. He sighed, never expecting to do this. He managed to get Sunbeam to give both their daughters the talk about the birds and the bees for crying out loud! How can he go about this?

He looked to her, seeing her cower before him, looking like she would faint. "Oh come on now Fluttershy! Don't look at me like that, you make me feel like I'm some sort of monster!" he said, feeling as awkward as her. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't bring himself to intimidate the young mare. She was just so kind, sweet, innocent and fearful, how could he? And knowing her since she was a little foal didn't help. If this was a colt standing in front of him, he could probably put on his tough act he did when fighting. Fluttershy smiled at his attempt to break the ice. "Is it the moustache, you afraid it's going to jump off my face and bite you?" he joked, earning him a small giggle. "Hehe, I'm sorry Mr. Flash. I don't mean to be rude. Besides, I like your facial hair. I am quite fond of anything rainbow."

His face was that of shock, "Maybe she isn't so innocent!?" he thought. She blushed, realizing how that must have sounded. "Great Fluttershy, way to sound like a pervert in front of Rainbow's father. Now he will probably hate you." She berated herself in her mind., lowering her head again, mane hiding her blush. Flash decided to skip to the point. "Ok, so I first want to say that I trust you with my Dashie. I mean, I've known you for practically your whole life! I know what kind of pony you are, I mean, you weren't deemed the Element of Kindness for nothing!" he started, using a funny voice at the title. Fluttershy remained silent, trying to brace herself for what may come, although she felt better hearing that. "If anything, it's Dash I have to worry about. Especially after what she said to you, and how well you took it. But just because you love her doesn't mean you should let her walk all over you. Relationships should be equal, give and take." Fluttershy nodded in understanding.

"Shy, please stop hiding behind your mane and look me in the eye, this is my daughter's heart we are talking about here." He ordered as softly as he could. She shook and gulped. "Come on Fluttershy, for Dashie!" she cheered herself in her mind. She raised her head, brushing the mane from her face. He smiled a small smile at her. "She is just as new to this as you, so if you want this to work, you both got to learn. I know she can be conceded, but she isn't selfish. It is very important to talk with each other." He explained. "Yes sir!" she squeaked, falling into old habits of how she addressed stallions when she was little. "Now I know you both love each other very much. And I can see how much you care. I know I don't have to repeat myself when I tell you to love her freely and to care for her. But please, don't let her get started in any bad habits that will ruin your relationship. Is there anything you need to tell me that concerns you?"

Fluttershy scuffed at the ground, eyes downcast, before remembering to look him in the eye and shooting her gaze back up immediatley. "Thank you Mr. Flash. Um, well, there is this one thing I have been noticing?" She paused, not sure how Dash would react if she found out. "Go on, I'm only here to help." He tried to coax her. "Well, we have never argued about it mind you. And I promise I only have eyes for her. But she seems overly protective of me, like she expects me to cheat on her. Sometimes she gets jealous of me hanging out with our friends if she isn't there. She even got possessive when a stallion handed me a pen to sign a package he delivered. I try my very best to let her know only she holds the key to my heart, but I fear it's a personal thing, and I don't want to see her angry side again." She confessed in a shaky voice as she sat on the ground and nervously rubbed her arm with her hoof.

Flash took this all in. a hoof twirling his moustache. "That is a valid reason to worry. I believe you when you say you only have eyes for her. She may get that from her mother you know. We were both big shots, but she was always talking my ear off about looking at other mares. The best thing to do is to show her you love her, and try to comfort her lack of confidence. She gets scared to you know." Fluttershy giggled, "I never viewed Rainbow as a pony who lacked confidence or was scared." Flash chuckled with her. "Well that's her problem, she seems to view these normal feelings as weakness. So she never shows them or deals with them properly. You just keep doing your best Shy. And remember, you two were friends first. If for some reason this didn't work out, try to end it as still being friends." Fluttershy grimaced at the thought of them breaking up. He lifted her chin up, "But I would bet my entire life savings on you two making it. I believe in you both. I trust in you both. And I love you both Fluttershy." He admitted truthfully.

Fluttershy smiled at who she hoped to one day call her father in law. Tears sparkling in her eyes, she tackle hugged the fighter. He hugged her back, lifting her up. "Still light as a feather!" he thought merrily, used to giving them both piggie back rides as little fillies. He put her down and they sat side by side. A huge smile plastered on her face, he looked up at the night sky. "I do have one more question." He said nonchalantly. She smiled at him, "Anything Mr. Flash!" she offered excitedly. An evil smirk on his face appeared. "So, if my daughter is anything like her dear old dad, I could only assume she has already taken you for a Radical Rainbow Ride under the sheets! And with my blood in her veins, she could only be amazing, am I right?" he asked as he lightly jabbed her in the ribs. Her mouth hit the floor, her whole face turning red. He practically died on the floor laughing. "I may not be able to intimidate her properly, but I can sure as hell embarrass her! I love seeing their shocked little faces!" he thought proudly as he rolled on the floor.

Rainbow Dash trudged behind the monster sized stallion, his expression as cold as ice and as hard as stone. He led her behind the building, in a darker part of the alley way. She frowned, eyes wide and constantly shifting for possible weapons and escape routes, meanwhile keeping an eye on him. He made a quick 180, causing her to bump into his chest. "Omph!" she grunted as she landed on her rear, embarrassed at such a clumsy move. He kept his serious face, but he sat down and quietly waited for her to fix her fur that was standing on end.

"Ok Rainbow Dash. So I wanted a little one on one time to get to know the mare who is stealing my daughter's heart." He said in his intimidating voice, the moonlight making him look more menacing. "You would already know me if you were around when we were kids." She said under her breath. "What was that?" he barked out, a snarl on his lips. Rainbow's fur stood back up, shocked at his good hearing. "Uh, duh, nothing! Let's get talking about Fluttershy!" she tried to cover up, embarrassed at her mess up.

"Hmph. Yes well, I know that you two grew up together. And I did hear all the good things you did for her during your fillyhood, not to mention when she took the move to Ponyville. I know I could have played a bigger role when she was younger, I still regret choosing my career over family." He admitted, his voice growing sad. "But damn it all if I didn't do my best to make it up to the both of them when I retired! And Celestia help me, I still beat myself up for the things I said and the way I acted because of drinking and depression! So I may not have been a good father such as yours back then, but I sure as hell am starting now!" he said, the ice in his voice returning.

She flinched slightly at the change, muscles tensing as if for a fight. He took noticed and tried to calm down. He rubbed at his face for a moment and looked her in the eyes. "I am sorry if I am coming off as a brute. So many years in the military will do that to a guy, but my wife has enrolled me in anger management for quite some time." He tried to ease her nerves. "This guy is freaking me out!" Dash thought, mindful to not say anything under her breath. "I am a gentle colt after all, and would never lay a hoof on a lady. I still to this day haven't done that. Don't expect me to get physical with you Rainbow Dash. But know this, if you break my daughter's heart, I can be your worst enemy. Physical attacks aren't the only way to harm a pony you know. You will be needing those Elements Shy tells me all about to stop me." He warned quite clearly, Rainbow Dash taking it to heart.

Dash decided she needed to start speaking up for herself and show this stallion just how much she loved his daughter if she ever wanted his approval. "With all due respect sir, if I were to ever hurt her again like I did that one night, or break her heart, I would get physical with myself! I can't bear the thought of losing her, I can't picture living my life without her by my side! I love your daughter with all my heart. I was just too stupid to realize it until I thought of how close she was to death. And I don't ever plan on letting her down like that again sir. Please trust that I will take good care of Fluttershy, I will love her more than myself, and that no matter what, I will always be there to protect her, even from herself!" she boldly stated loudly, wings flared in a aggressive manner, eyes as cold and hard as steel.

Sunburst smirked at her. "Still the tough as nails pony I met all those years ago. I'm glad my daughter chose a good one." He thought before wiping his small smile away. "It does my heart good to hear that Rainbow Dash. But actions speak louder than words young lady. And to hear about the things you said to her is not promising." He felt a tinge of pain in his heart to see the fire in her eyes die as she looked down at the ground. "I know I bucked up sir. And believe me when I say that I still don't think I deserve Fluttershy's time. But I will go the rest of my life making that up to her. And I have been learning to keep my stupidity and anger in check, for the good of everypony." She admitted as she looked him back in the eye.

He shut his eyes and nodded in understanding. "I do know where you are coming from Dash. I was stupid and angry once to. And at least you didn't get drunk off your flank and threatened to stomp your wife and unborn child. I know the terrible mistakes one makes out of these terrible feelings. I just wish I had listened to my wife and gotten the help I needed sooner for my PTSD. Maybe I could've been the daddy my Shy Shy needed." He said, voice growing soft. She tilted her head to one side, rainbow mane swishing. "You mean he can feel things other than upset and pissed?" she thought in her mind.

He put a comforting hoof on her shoulder, trying to think of her as the feisty filly that yelled in his face that it wasn't his daughter's fault, and that she would protect her. "I highly recommend you taking any help you need in that fault in your personality. And to always try to better yourself, even excepting weakness. From one idiot jerk to another, hm?" he tried to lighten his mood. Rainbow did a snort laugh. "Was that a compliment?" she asked him.

He grinned at her fully for the first time. "I suppose so. Now I have always known my Shy to be a smart girl who knows best for herself. I mean, her mother and I certainly didn't want her moving to the ground. But she knew what she needed in her life. So I trust that she made the right choice with you. I expect great things from you Rainbow Dash. Your father is a great pony, so I expect you to make my Fluttershy the happiest mare alive." He said with a smile.

Rainbow Dash tried to hold in a squeal, she felt like flying in the air. "Ohmygoshohmy goshohmygoshohmygosh! I think he accepts me!" she thought wildly in her mind. She controlled herself, "I never give up until I am the very best sir. And I intend on being the very best pony for Fluttershy!" she stated proudly. He slid his hoof off of her shoulder and over her heart. "One more thing Dash, please promise me. Please, to take good care of her, give her the love she deserves. And protect my little girl, from anypony and everypony, even herself." He said in a soft tone, sincerity in his eyes. Rainbow Dash lost her breath for a second, letting the simple yet powerful words sink in. "Yes sir, I promise to love, honor, and protect our Fluttershy." She promised as she shook his hoof. They both smiled, feeling their relationship grow stronger.

They started walking back. He looked down at her, "You know, I'm not all about the military life anymore. Since my daughter is so fond of you, you can call me Sunburst." He tried at friendliness. She chuckled a bit, "Not Sunny Boy." She snickered. He flicked his giant wing out, playfully pushing her off to the side a whole wing span. "No, only my wife can call me Sunny. Your father just loves to push other pony's buttons." He explained as they walked back out to the main street. Dash scoffed, "You're telling me Sunburst. He takes sweet pleasure in teasing the color out of my mane!" she half joked, half complained. They both stopped at seeing said teaser pony rolling on the floor laughing, a wildly blushing Fluttershy as Sunbeam was scolding the misbehaving pony. Rainbow Dash lay her head on the ground, covering her face with her arms. She felt Sunburst put a hoof on her back. "Dad?" she groaned out, many memories flooding back to her.

After a moment for all to collect themselves, Rainbow Dash tried to make her leave. "Well, we better check into our hotel and get some shut eye. I got a very special week planned for the two of us." All three parents gave her a look, Sunburst's one that could kill. She blushed. "Oh no girls. Why don't the three of you spend the night in our home. Flash, you can have the guest room, and Shy and Dashie can sleep in her extra bedroom we keep for her visits." Sunbeam suggested. Fluttershy and her father both brightened at this, for different reasons. "Oh what a wonderful idea mother! Please Dashie, let's take them up on it. It will save us some spending cash, plus, I would love to show you me room. You know, if you want, that is…" she trailed off, not wanting any ideas popping in their parent's heads about what they do indeed do.

Sunburst liked having them close by to keep an eye on them, the smile ever apparent on his face. "Are you sure it won't be too much trouble?" Flash asked. Dash felt like her plans for a romantic vacation slipping. But how could she say no when they all peer pressured her like this. She reluctantly accepted, flying Fluttershy on the cloud as she followed their elders. They arrived shortly at the nice two story home, complete with nice yard and pool. Dash parked and tied the cloud, the stallions bringing in their luggage in for them.

Dash noticed the special black suitcase Sunburst was holding in his mouth. She freaked as she tried to grab it. "Here, let me help you Sunburst!" she yelled as she tried to yank it from his jaws. He looked confused "Get the ones on my wings then!" he said through gritted teeth. Rainbow Dash pulled too hard, the suit case holding everything for their special alone time flying everywhere. The ropes, the blindfold, and the incents lay in the hallway. The big dildo and newly bought vibrating peace Rainbow Dash was going to surprise her mare friend with landing right at his hooves.

Silence befell the group again. Every face red, Fluttershy, who had no idea her mare friend had even brought their personals, had her legs buckling wildly. Sunburst's eyes looked accusing and angry as he shifted views from the toy to the cyan mare, as she smiled nervously at him, suddenly getting shorter. "And what is this!?" he yelled, staring at the device. "D-daddy, we can explain. You see, you must understand! Oh!" Fluttershy sputtered out, trying to think of an excuse.

Sunbeam saw the frightened expressions of the young mares and cut in. "Now now Sunny, they are adults now. We can't keep treating our dear Shy Shy like a foal. They have feelings to." She said, her face that of discomfort. Even Flash, who laughed most things off, felt his stomach twist at their embarrassment. Fluttershy and Sunbeam pushed the items back inside. Sunburst quickly lifted back up and on his back. "I will just hold all these things for you girls until morning!" he said with a huff, going upstairs. "Sunny, that is theirs!" Sunbeam tried to argue.

He kept walking. "Oh no, they got everything they need in Fluttershy's room. We are all going to have a nice quiet dinner and then off to bed! I shall return it in the morning girls." Fluttershy trotted to her father, wings buzzing out of nerves. "But daddy, that's ours!" she complained. His face only got redder knowing his daughter was excited for these items. "I accept you both, but there is no way I am allowing any hanky panky stuff to be going on in my home unless I'm involved. Wait no! Thant didn't sound right. Listen, no sex for anypony in this house tonight!" he ordered as he shot Rainbow Dash a glare and stormed off. The proud pegasus walked next to her mare friend, placing a wing over her. "Well, that sounds like a challenge." She whispered in her ear. Fluttershy looked away, whining. "How embarrassing! Dashie, how could you let this happen!?" she complained as she slouched over. Rainbow frowned, unsure of how to react.

"I know what will pick up everypony's moods! How about I make us some of my famous grass noodle salad Fluttershy! Will that make my sweetheart happy?" Sunbeam tried to cheer her up. It seemed to work as Fluttershy's wings flapped out of joy, replacing Dash's frown with a smile. The canary yellow mare clapped her hooves together out of joy, "Really mama, you will? May I please help? I have been dying to learn the recipe since the last time you made it for us!" she asked her mother, coupled with puppy dog eyes.

Dash gave a small smile, a slight blush on her cheeks at seeing the cuteness that was Fluttershy. "It must be good if it's making her that excited. Can't wait to try it!" Flash put his two bits in before following his now upset friend upstairs. He brought his head low to his daughter's ear, "I better go talk to the big grump. Don't worry too much, were do you think Fluttershy gets her nervousness when it comes to intimacy from?" he joked as he walked upstairs. Fluttershy planted a soft kiss to Rainbow Dash's lips, "Why don't you make yourself comfy in the living room Rainbow? We will get started on a fantastic dinner for a family of fantastic pegasi! I will get you something to drink to!" Fluttershy said excitedly before running of to the kitchen to join her mother.

Rainbow Dash stood for a second, smiling at the direction her mare friend just went. She put a hoof over her chest. "Dear Celestia, I can feel my heart going looney for her. Huh, when did I start sounding so sappy. Love can sure turn you into a fool." Dash said to herself as she walked to the room. Soon the fathers returned, Sunburst looking more calm as opposed to frazzled. Dash gave a sheepish smile as she waved a hoof at him. They sat in front of the coffee table. "So, the girls are making some grass noodle salad for us. I just love the stuff. You Rainbows sure are in for a big and delicious surprise!" Sunburst said, licking his lips.

"What should we do until then Capitan!" Flash mocked saluted, wanting something to pass the time. Dash wanted something to, feeling uncomfortable sitting next to Fluttershy's father after the little mishap. "How's a friendly game of poker sound you two?" Sunburst answered, looking for his poker set. Dash leaned back, "Friendly, I say we play for money!" The red mane stallion smiled at her, "You know, think I'm starting to like you again."

Fluttershy and Sunbeam were working as a perfect unit, both very well off in the kitchen setting. As Fluttershy chopped up the vegetables for the salad portion, Sunbeam prepared the sweet yet firey sauce. She turned and looked at her daughter, who was happy to spend some time with her mother. She smiled, engulfing her daughter in a tight hug. Fluttershy smiled, putting down the knife and placing her hooves on her mother's arms. "Oh my sweet dear Fluttershy, please promise me you will never hurt yourself again! If anything were to ever happen to you, I would just die. How could I live knowing my precious little baby is in danger!" Sunbeam sobbed. The tears started overflowing from Fluttershy's eyes.

"I am so sorry mama. How could I be so selfish? Have been working so hard to get the help I need, so I don't ever feel those feelings again. I never want to feel like that again!" Sunbeam turned her daughter around to face her, "Really my sweet? This Dr. Shrink has really been helping?" Fluttershy nodded, a smile on her face. Sunbeam leaned in and kissed her nose, the way she used to when she was a little filly. "If you ever need anything, you know how to reach me Fluttershy." The animal loving pegasus felt warm love fill her body at her mother's words. She hugged her, letting her mother stroke her pink mane.

"I am so happy for you and Rainbow Dash." Sunbeam whispered, tears still flowing. Fluttershy looked up, looking like a little filly again. "Why are you crying mama?" Sunbeam grabbed a tissue and dabbed her eyes. "The tears before were the tears of pain and despair of knowing my little girl had suffered so much, and that I was so unaware. But these are tears of joy at seeing she found somepony to love her so." Fluttershy squeed as she nestled into her mother's neck. "But I better not hear of her yelling at you like that again. Part of loving another is loving yourself. Don't be afraid to tell her when she is pushing it too far. I remember her short temper, but I also remember her loyalty and good friendship. You both need to respect each other, is that understood dear?" Fluttershy nuzzled the mare who brought her into this world. "Yes mother. I do. I love you mommy." "I love you to Shy Shy."

The yellow mares returned, holding two big trays of the meal along with some tasty looking thai iced teas. They saw the three other pegasi arguing. "You cheated Dashie! There's no way you could be having so many good hooves!" "Nuh uh, no I didn't dad! Don't blame me, blame the dealer!" "Don't you go and play that card young lady. It's bad enough your doing my daughter, I will not be bamboozled and accused in my own home!" The aggressive pegasi were all shouting over each other, a nice little pile of bits being held defensively by Dash. Sunbeam and Fluttershy gave each other a look. "Stallions." Sunbeam said flatly. Fluttershy looked to her lover as she stood up to two full grown stallions, "Dashie was always a tomcolt." She whispered to her mother.

After settling down the heated debate, Sunbeam telling the males of the house to act like stallions and not foals, they all partook in the heavenly meal. "Oh my stars Fluttershy, please tell me you got this recipe and will make it for me some time. I'm begging you, it's so freaking good." Rainbow Dash said, mouth full of the food. Sunbeam grimaced, closing her mouth for her. "Please Dash, your manners are almost as bad as your fathers. I know it's good, Sunny is always asking me to make it. Don't worry, I passed the recipe to my daughter, next great chef!" Fluttershy blushed while Rainbow Dash jerked her arm down in a motion for saying YES! "Have you ever tasted anything more delicious than this dish made by my two special ladies?" Sunburst asked to the table. Fluttershy smiled at her lover how held her heart. "Just one thing. I don't mean to brag, but Rainbow Dash here made me the most absolute delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating."

Dash blushed at the sweet sentiment of her mare friend. Her heart beating hard as she winked at her. Her face got even redder when she heard her dad giggling at her. "Awe, so cute. Dashie, the little cook, made something for Fluttershy. I really find that hard to believe you two. How come you never make daddy anything?" Dash flicked her father in the nose playfully, "Quiet Dad. You heard our lovely Fluttershy. She has been giving me cooking lessons! I even made a mini pizza under her supervision." Flash and Sunbeam held their hooves over their mouths in shock, "You taught her to cook! That's dangerous Shy!" Flash over exclaimed. "You really have surpassed my cooking and teaching abilities Fluttershy!" Sunbeam joined in. "Alright, lay off the Dash bashing guys." The cyan pegasus said grumpily as they all laughed and finished their meal.

After they finished their food, Sunbeam ever so politely nominated her husband to wash the dishes, since the rest were still guests. They moved back to the living room, everpony still not ready for bed. "I have an idea, how about we watch some home movies! I got some really cute ones of Fluttershy as a foal if you wanted to see Rainbow Dash." Sunbeam offered. Fluttershy's cheeks turning rosey as Dash held a smug look on her face. "Oh, nothing embarrassing please!" Sunbeam pulled out a box holding an old style projector and some film. "I have her first bath, and her first preening!" the mother pegasus joked, winking at her daughter. Dash stifled a laugh as Fluttershy hid her face behind her arms, "Our parents are sadistic!"

Sunbeam laughed at her daughter's words. She stopped and held a very special film in her hooves. She looked up at Flash, how cocked an eyebrow and tilted his head just like his offspring. "If you wish Flash, I have Fluttershy's first birthday party here. Maybe we could show the girls." A knowing look came to the stallion. Rainbow was confused by the look of pain and nostalgia on his face. He smirked at his good friend. "I would like to see it. I think it be good for them to." He said calmly. He turned to his daughter, ruffling up her rainbow mane. "Why don't you sit next to me Dashie?" he asked as he took a seat on the sofa.

Dash smiled, using her wing to lead Fluttershy with her. "Yeah, sure thing dad. But I want the most prettiest mare to sit next to me to!" Dash answered back, brushing her tail up Fluttershy's leg, making her squeak. "I know everpony wants to be near me. But how about you sit n between your dad and your mare friend Dash." Sunbeam joked, the pegasi giggling.

Sunburst finally finished the dishes, and helped his wife set up the projector. "You know, you girls have actually none each other much longer than you think!" Flash tried to explain. "I don't understand Mr. Flash." Fluttershy announced. Sunbeam sat next to her, her husband starting the film and sitting next to her. "You two will see soon enough." Sunburst answered.

The film started. It was a nice little party being held in a big park in Cloudsdale. There were yellow and pink streamers and banners. Some music played, pin the tail on the pony was on a cloud formation while food was laid on the tables. Lots of fun cloud equipment for the older kids. A younger looking Sunbeam and Sunburst waved at the camera. Sunburst looked incredibly serious and clean shaven, the way Dash remembered him.

Rainbow was surprised to hear her father's voice, "Come on you big grump. This is your first child's first birthday. Try and crack a smile!" Flash joked as his hoof waved in front of the camera. Hidden between her father's legs was a tiny little Fluttershy. Her face was all eyes, looking as stunning as ever as she tried her best to hide from all the strange ponies.

Dash looked to her mare friend, rubbing her thigh. The Sunbeam in the film nuzzled Fluttershy out into view of the camera. "Come on Fluttershy dear, don't be shy! Everypony is here to wish you a happy birthday and give you presents! Isn't that nice of them?" she tried to comfort her daughter and get her to look at the camera. Fluttershy hid behind her mane which barely reached the bottom of her face. The camera rushed over, a purple hoof grabbing the bottom of the scared filly's chin to have her look in the camera. "Happy birthday Fluttershy! Just want to tell you everypony loves this special little girl!" Flash said in a goofy voice. Filly Fluttershy smiled at him before hiding her face again. The camera moved back to the proud pegasi parents.

"Look at what a cutie you two brought. It makes sense coming from you Sunbeam! But I never thought a pony so cute be related from a guy this ugly!" Flash laughed. "Why you little! Give me that stupid!" Sunburst's loud voice was heard as a small tug of war happened at the camera. The camera unfocused for a few frames before it was apparent Sunburst held the camera. Sunbeam carried her daughter on her back as she led the way to a tired yet lovely looking young mare that was a sky blue with a deep red mane. She had the most stunning magenta eyes. She fluttered them at the camera, a very pleased looking Rainbow Flash nuzzling up against her face.

"And here we have the lovely Rainbow Family! I want to welcome you both to parenthood! Great job and congratulations on having a beautiful baby girl!" Sunburst said behind the camera in a friendly voice. Sunbeam sat next to her long time best friend, letting Fluttershy sit on her head as Firefly smiled at the mother daughter duo. "Thank you both, for helping us here." She said, sounding a bit tired. Flash rubbed her shoulders as Sunbeam placed a hoof over hers. "No need to thank me Firefly! You are my very best friend, practically the sister I never had! And I promise to always be here for all three of you." Sunbeam sincerely said.

Firefly smiled all the more, despite coughing into her hoof. "And I promise for as long as I live, to look after Fluttershy like she is my own." Firefly said as she gently touched Fluttershy's cheek, making the tiny filly blush, but not shy away. "How about we see the baby now!" Sunburst said excitedly. The camera shifted to a side view of Firefly. She smiled a demure smile at the camera, lifting her cyan wing to reveal a baby Rainbow Dash sleeping peacefully in her mother's hold. "Awe!" was made by all at the sight of the tiny filly. The sound waking her up as she turned slightly and shook her hooves angrily at being woken up.

"Needs her naps, just like her mother!" Flash joked, earning him a glare. Fluttershy climbed more to be on her mother's muzzle. "What's that mommy?" the tiny Fluttershy asked, finally speaking since the party started. Firefly rubbed noses with the small yellow filly. "That's Rainbow Dash. She's my little baby." Firefly explained. Fluttershy's face lit up, "Wainbo Dash? A baby, can I see her, pwease?" Fluttershy's asked politely, not able to fully pronounce words yet. The two mothers smiled at each other. "Of course you can Fluttershy." She said softly as Sunbeam lifted her off her face and in front of the tiny Rainbow Dash.

The two ponies, one two month old foal and the one year old filly smiled at each other. "She has a beautiful mane like you Mr. Fwash." Fluttershy squeaked. Fluttershy made a little gasp and brought her hooves to her as the baby sat up and reached out. Little Dashie's huge eyes looked into hers as tiny blue hooves reached out and played with her mane. They both giggled at each other, Fluttershy bringing her face close to bump noses with the friendly foal. "I wike the baby mommy!" Fluttershy squealed as her new tiny friend continued playing with the soft pink mane. "Looks like Dashie just made her first friend!" Firefly exclaimed before covering her mouth to cough. "I can't wait to set up some play dates for these two. They will be the best of friends, just like their mommies!"

Baby Rainbow Dash cooed and laughed at Fluttershy. Flash brought his head down to plant a kiss on her soft prismatic mane. "I think she just said happy birthday to you Fluttershy!" Flash said, making Fluttershy flap her wings as she wore a big smile, new baby teeth showing. "Thank you Wainbow Dash! Thank you!" Fluttershy happily replied as she kissed the baby's nose.

The film ended with the happy birthday song, Fluttershy sitting next to Rainbow Dash looking as happy as can be. Flash wrapped his arm over his daughter's shoulder, Fluttershy rubbing her hoof. "So that was mom? I, I barely remember her. She looked pretty dad." She said aloud as she looked to her father. There were tears in his eyes, clearly remembering the day, one of the last healthy ones his wife had before she became bed ridden. "Yes she was. She loved you so much Rainbow Dash. She held such big dreams in her heart for you." He said with a smile. Fluttershy leaned her head on Dash's shoulder as she pet her arm. "She looked like such a lovely pony. I wish I could have known her more." Fluttershy said softly. "Yeah, me to." Dash said as she let her mare friend's touch relax her. "So I have known Fluttershy since she was a year old? How come I don't remember meeting her until I was five?" Dash asked.

Flash cleared his throat. "Well, after your mother passed away, I moved us down to Fillydelphia for a few years with my brother, to get things together. Once I decided I really missed the place, and your uncle wasn't the best example, I saved up money to open up a fighting shop in Cloudsdale and moved us back into a smaller house. Then you bumped into each other the first day of school. I was going to bring you over for a play date like Sunbeam and I planned. But, it seems you both found each other anyway."

Fluttershy felt Rainbow hold her tighter as their eyes met in wonder finding out they have known each other even longer. Sunburst stretched out his big arms and wings, "Ah, I think it's time we all get some shut eye. See you all for breakfast at 900 hours." He yawned, old military lingo coming back. They all said goodnight, Fluttershy's parents heading upstairs to their room, Flash leaving to the guest room while Fluttershy led Rainbow Dash to her room.

Rainbow Dash stopped at the door, mouth agape. Fluttershy's room looked exactly like it did when they were growing up. Same bed, new mattress, same paint and set up. Same pictures and walk in closet with tiny tea table and love seat. Flash backs of their filly hood hitting her as she walked in. "I think I just entered the Twilight Zone Shy!" she joked, déjà vu pulling at her mind. "Yes well, mother and father bought me all new things when I moved out, so we just kept most of my old stuff here for when I visit. There's even a little bed for Angel, and I still have a bunch of my old clothes and school uniforms in the closet."

Dash smiled, remembered hiding in there to tell scary stories to her frightful friend. As soon as Rainbow Dash shut the door she was behind Fluttershy and all over her. She planted deep meaningful kisses all over the back of her neck, making the smaller mare squirm in delight. "Rainbow!" Rainbow began teasing the sensitive yellow ear, "Yes my love?" Dash asked faking innocence. "My parents are right upstairs, and your father is just down the hall!" Dash turned the timid mare around and dipped her, assaulting the front of her neck with kisses. "All the sexier it will be my dear Shy. Too bad your dad took all our fun stuff I was going to surprise you with. But he can't take away this!" she let go of Fluttershy and slowly let out her long tongue, bending it upward and flicking the tip.

Fluttershy gasped, her wings shooting up and eyes going wide. "Hehe, still got it!" Dash thought as she licked hard from the bottom of her lover's neck all the way back up, making Fluttershy bite her lip to hold back a moan. Dash carried her, using her wings to balance as she placed her on the full sized bed. The devious pegasus hopped one, running her wing up and down Fluttershy's body. "We can play a little game you know?" Dash suggested, lust in her eyes. Fluttershy gulped, "What kind of game?" she innocently asked. Dash placed her hoof to lightly brush against Fluttershy's marehood. "Well, I can try my best to make you scream and be all loud, and you can try your best to stay quiet. Who will win I wonder? Your incentive to not let them hear should help!" Dash said dirtily as she wiggled her eyebrows.

Fluttershy looked away, her wings stiffening were a good indicator that she liked the idea. Rainbow Dash trailed her wondering hoof over Fluttershy's stomach and chest, watching her pleased reactions. The timid pony ran her hooves threw her own pink mane, trying to calm down. "Being in my old room makes me think of puberty when I would stay up all night thinking of you as my secret lover." She admitted. Dash cocked her head to the side, "Well that came out of nowhere. You have my attention Shy, what else did you fantasize about?" Dash teasingly asked as she draped the tip of her wing over Fluttershy's length, starting from in between her legs.

Fluttershy shuddered in anticipation from her touch, body tensing and relaxing. "Oh just thinking about the way you looked at me drove me up the wall. I must admit, I just loved seeing you in one of your sport outfits, especially your captain's jacket." Dash grinned happily at the words as she nuzzled into her neck. "Hm, you know I never remembered where I left that particular jacket. I was so pissed from being kicked out of school, I think I dumped a bunch of my stuff." Dash wondered aloud. Fluttershy lifted the gorgous blue face with her hooves, "I know. You actually left your duffel bag here the last day we saw each other in Cloudsdale. I um… I h-have actually kept it for y-you." The tender mare stuttered as if she was a guilty little filly.

Dash sprang up from her position. "No way, really! Where do you have it?" Fluttershy pointed to the closet. "Look in there, on the right." Dash nodded as she flew over to the closet. She looked through and found her famous high school jacket neatly hung up, the small tears fixed and stains cleaned. She pulled it out, and marveled at the patch on the back that read Cloudsdale Kickers, Rainbow Dash. Dash smiled at her mare friend. "I can't believe you saved this for me all these years Shy. You are such a sweetheart, you know that? Let's see if the old thing still works?" Dash said as she put it on. It was a little tight on her arms, but as she posed in the mirror, she admired how well she kept her figue.

She did a double take as Fluttershy was leaning against the end of her bed, looking quite turned on. "Oh Rainbow, you look so good in that jacket. It's like going back in time!" Dash smiled her most dashing smile as she hovered in the air, showing of her muscles which look even bigger with the tight sleeves. "Hehe, thanks Flutters! I do look pretty awesome in this baby! It's a little tight though, hope I haven't gotten fat." She said as she liked the way Fluttershy was eyeballing her. The now interested pegasus shook her head slowly from side to side, blue eyes going big. "Oh no Rainbow Dash, you haven't. I'd say you are in the best shape of your life! I think that time in the academy and all the cloud busting got you buffer!" Fluttershy said excitedly, wings flapping.

Rainbow Dash got an idea as she went back in the closet, leaving her blue flank out in clear view of her happy lover. She pulled out a school uniform, button up shirt, black tie, and a black skirt. She held the outfit on her right wing as she slowly walked over. "Why don't you put this on, and we could love one of your teenage fantasies about me. I can be a pretty good actress you know!" Dash suggested with a wave of her hips. Fluttershy leaned back and blushed. "Oh Rainbow Dash, that would be something. Just don't know how to handle all that!" She squeaked. Dash threw the clothes on the bed. "Tell me what you always wished me doing." Fluttershy flipped over and covered her head with a pillow. She squeaked something and Rainbow Dash made her repeat it louder. "Well, I always imagined you sneaking in through my window in the middle of the night, holding a flower in your teeth. I would motion you to come over, and you would tippy hoof to me. You would go in the bed with met, placing the flower in my mane. And then you would roll on top of me, oh I'm such a naughty filly Dashie. Once you were on top of me we would share a very deep and meaningful first kiss. Then we could spend the whole night cuddling. I'm sorry my fantasies are so graphic!" she spilled out.

Dash blinked at the cute romance story her lover had planned in her head. "You kidding me, I used to think all sorts of way dirtier thoughts about you in those cute little skirts, I always just pushed them back and focused on getting the better time or nailing the trick. I was so blind to not pick up those signs you just have been throwing my way. But tonight, we could pretend, if you don't mind it getting a little more M rated than that?" Fluttershy's eyes widened at the suggestion, only making her look all the more delectable to the cyan mare. "Really, you would do that for me?"

Rainbow bent her head low to lick the silly filly on the nose, "Of course I would dear, I mean you took a freaking dildo and being tied up and blind folded for me. But I have an idea to make it better. You just change into this and wait in bed for your sexy awesome mare friend to return, ok?" Fluttershy looked confused, but she agreed. Rainbow flew out quietly from her mare friend's window. "I got to get that suitcase!" Dash thought. She slowly tippy hoofed in the air, wings silently flapping. She stopped, fur standing on end as she heard a saxophone playing.

She looked about trying to spot who was playing the music. She did a double take as she noticed Pinkie Pie standing on her hind hooves playing the theme to the Pink Panther on her saxophone. Rainbow was about to pull her hair at the noise Pinkie was making that could wake up Fluttershy's parents. "Pinkie, what the HELL are you doing here, and why in Equestria are you playing that think so late at night!?" Pinkie smiled as she played, finally stopping to wave at her rainbow friend. "Hiya Dashie! Fancy meeting you here. I was just setting the mood with some smooth music! Teeheeheehee!" the pink pony giggled. She continued playing happily. Dash waved her hooves about comically. "I need you to be quiet, I need to be stealthy right now, not flashy! Please!" Dash begged. Pinkie stopped again, putting down her instrument. "Okey Dokey Lokey! Anything for you Dashie. Just remember to play the sneak music in your head, that always helps me when I'm going to surprise somepony. Have fun doing the old bang bang with Flutters. Tell her I say hi!"

Dash was about to question her further when in a flash, Pinkie was suddenly gone. Dash was startled, feeling a shiver going up her spine. "Okaaaay! That was way creepy, almost as creepy as my stroll through creepy town. Am I going crazy, or is that Pinkie Pie just being Pinkie Pie?" She quietly flew up again, and her fears confirmed, she saw the left behind saxophone on the roof. She focused on her mission to rock her mare friend by living out a fun fantasy. She looked into the window to see Sunbeam and Sunburst sleeping peacefully in their king sized bed. She looked about to make sure no one was watching. She carefully slid the window up.

She hovered to the ground, deciding to stay low so in case they hear she would not be seen. She crawled on her belly adrenaline rushing at what she was about to do. "Rainbow Dash!" She felt her heart stop at Sunbeam's voice. "Fluttershy! What did I tell you girls about sneaking cookies before dinner? If you just ask I will let you both have just one, then you… YAWN… must… wait…" the older mare talked in her sleep. Dash felt her heart go from her mouth back down to her chest. All of a sudden she started thinking about the music she just heard, hating to admit it was calming her down and making her move swiftly.

"What are you doing!" Dash saw her life flash before her eyes at the angry voice of Sunburst. "You no good… lazy son of a bit… uh ch… Drop down and give me… twenty." He ordered in his dreams. "Must be having flash backs of the old military time. You can take the pony out of the military, but you just can't take the military out of the pony." Dash joked in her mind. She saw the suitcase next to Sunburst's side. Her determination growing, she crawled without a sound, lifting it onto her back. She was about to crawl out when a huge hoof landed right in front of her. She looked up in fear to see he had flipped over, but was still snoring peacefully.

She blew a breath of relief as she shimmied out of there. She shut the window behind her, suitcase held with her tail. She looked on confidently for a moment, patting herself on the back. "Nice work secret agent Dash. Now time to return the goods and collect your reward!" she said to herself as she flew down to Fluttershy's window. She smiled a huge grin as she stopped in front of the window. She noticed the lights were off, a single candle lit. She placed the suit case on the window sill and pushed the window up. "That's right baby, let's this little fantasy up." Rainbow thought as she hopped in, bringing the suitcase to the floor.

She landed on the floor with a soft thud, staring at her mare friend on the bed. She saw Fluttershy laying on the bed, looking as cute and shy as ever. She hid behind her mane, the clothes she wore fitting her just as perfect as when they were n high school. The cyan mare felt her heart quicken it's pace as she noticed they way Fluttershy kept her hind legs split apart slightly, the way her tail hung off the bed, and how her yellow wings were flapping in anticipation. Dash felt her hunger for physical satisfaction grow as she looked at her mare friend, looking just like she did when they were younger, and looking so vulnerable.

"R-rainbow Dash? Is that you?" Fluttershy asked, obviously worried about how long her mare friend was gone for some time. Dash flipped her mane to fall back, much like she did when she was younger. She then pulled the curtains to let in more of the soft moonlight. "You know it baby." Dash said before remembering she was supposed to act like this was their first real moment. "I mean, hey Flutters. Yeah it's me, I just had to see you. You mind?" Fluttershy scooted over, patting the bed. Dash smiled as she walked over and climbed on the bed. "Hey pal. I know I'm stopping by real late, but I have this thing I just gotta say." She pretended as she leaned in closer. She got an even better view of her mare friend, seeing how she left the two top buttons undone. Fluttershy took a gulp, big blue eyes shimmering in the moon. "I'm always here to listen and help Dashie." Fluttershy encouraged.

Dash admired her demure beauty and how well she looked in the moonlight. "Well, don't think I haven't noticed the way you stare at me when I'm at practice or at a game. And well, you have always been the most important pony in my life. My first real friend. And, lately I have been getting these funny feelings. I try to brush them off and focus, but I realize that these are good feelings. I'm happy when I'm near you, I feel safe, I can trust you." Dash said truthfully. She placed her hoof on Fluttershy's cheek, feeling how warm it was. "She must be blushing hard." Rainbow thought, rather pleased.

"I, I have always had a s-special connection with you to Rainbow. A sort of a-a-attraction." The mare in the school uniform whispered in an angelic voice that rang in her companions ears. A small smile crept to the weather pony's lips as she brought her face close enough to touch noses with the creamy colored pegasus. Both their breathes picking up, having fun with their little pretend game. "Fluttershy?" Dash called out, putting one arm over Fluttershy, holding her. "Yes Rainbow." She managed to peep. "I think I'm madly in love with you." Dash said as she rubbed noses with her. Fluttershy made a little whimper at the statement. "Well I have known I've been in love with you, for what feels like forever." The smaller pegasus admitted, she really had loved her forever. Rainbow Dash looked deep into Fluttershy's blue eyes. "Have you ever been kissed?" Rainbow Dash felt the mare below her shutter at the question, she also felt a pair of hooves rest on her shoulders.

"No." was the quiet response. "It's just like I always dreamed it would have happened!" Fluttershy thought excitedly in her mind. So many nights, tortured by the sweetest fantasy of having her best friend come to her in the night, where they could share an intimate moment. And even though she wouldn't change a thing about how their relationship started, even though it was quite painful, because it had been the push she needed to face her problems, it was still exhilarating to pretend things went the way her dreams went when she was young. Rainbow Dash leaned in a smidge-a-meter closer, their lips so unbearably close. The retired model pony felt the familiar tingle in her wings and all the other sensations she felt right before each time they made love. "Oh she is a good actress. I'm getting so turned on by the thought of a kiss." The random thought popped in Fluttershy's mind.

"Well, do you want to be?" before Fluttershy could respond, Rainbow Dash had closed what little distance they had between their lips. The kiss started strong yet tender, much feelings behind it. Since they were both familiar with each other, it quickly moved to heated passion. Dash's tongue prodded the yellow lips open, their tongues dancing as Rainbow Dash moved to sit on top of Fluttershy. After a few moments of kissing and Fluttershy running her hooves under Dash's jacket, they broke apart,

"How's that for a first kiss baby?" she asked with a wink. Her athletic heart felt like it did a flip flop at how genuinely happy and how sparkling her mare friend's smile was, and to see the adoration on her face. "Amazing." The animal care taker responded in a sweet voice. Rainbow Dash nuzzled at the collar of her shirt, licking and nipping her neck between hot wet kisses. She continued to place most of her weight on Fluttershy's private area, adding to her teasing. The delighted moans coming from below were more than enough to push the flashy pegasus forward.

"My fantasies… oh! Always seemed to e-end… mmm… with us confessing our love and, and, and cuddling!" Fluttershy managed to say while her neck was tended to by the only pony she would ever allow or want to touch her there and like that. Rainbow Dash stopped her kisses and a naughty look crossed her face, "Well I know of a way to make this fantasy of yours 20 percent cooler." She bragged, that wise guy look on her face. Fluttershy brought her hooves up to her chest, blushing like mad. She didn't know why she felt so nervous, it wasn't like they hadn't made love before. She realized it was just she must have gotten really in character. "Oh, and what could we possibly do to raise the coolness factor Dashie?" Fluttershy asked, a hint of lust in her voice.

Rainbow Dash started rubbing the opened yellow wings, making the little pegasus lose her breath in ecstasy. Soon they were giggling naughtily as they felt each others bodies. "Damn you look so freaking sexy in those clothes Shy!" Dash exclaimed as she started trailing kisses all over her body hungrily. "You look so awesome in that jacket Dashie. Two rounds in one day, I'm so lucky to have such a mare friend with awesome stamina." Dash licked her lips like a hungry animal, "So horny, wanna do her." Was all she could think.

She decided she waited long enough as she dropped down and lifted the skirt with her muzzle. She was surprised to see a lacy red fabric covering the sweet sex of her mare friend. "What's this Flutters?" Dash asked, curious. Fluttershy pressed her legs together, "Oh, I wanted to surprise you with a little something for our trip to. Rarity insisted on making it for me. I hope you like it. Would you like to unwrap your present?" Fluttershy asked coyly.

Dash felt her heart beat faster at what she just learned, but also a twinge of anger. She shot a glare to her mare friend, "Rarity huh? Did she see you in this Shy?" she asked, trying to control herself. Fluttershy heard the edge in her voice, not knowing why she was getting so jealous, they walk around without clothes all the time. "Well she already knew my measurements, she just brought it over while we shared some tea while you were at work. Why is that so important?" Rainbow Dash stilled scowled at her, "So Rarity comes by with an outfit like this while I'm away at work?" Dash asked.

Fluttershy felt pain at the accusation, she pushed her hooves forward to force her mare friend off of her, but Dash wasn't taking the hint to get off. She thought back to the advice she got today, deciding to nip this in the butt now. "Rainbow Dash, I really don't appreciate what your trying to imply. What I told you was the truth. I told her about the trip on our spa date, and she made me this, She came over the next day for tea, and dropped it off, said that I should put it to good use. You know I'm way to shy to wear that in front of anypony else, I don't want anypony else but you!" she complained, sounding hurt.

The cyan mare was close enough to see the single silent tear fall down her face. "Man, why am I always such an asshole to her?" Dash thought bitterly to herself. Her ears drooped and she had a guilty look on her face. She rested her head on Fluttershy's chest, "I'm really sorry I lost my cool like that Shy, especially when you are doing something so special for me, and I know that it can't be easy to do. I'm such an idiot jerk." Fluttershy looked away, still hurt by what she was implying.

"Why do you always think I'm going to cheat on you?" she whispered. Rainbow Dash started to nuzzle her neck, "Because you're so beautiful and wonderful and sexy and smart and precious and kind and the very best part of my life. And I'm a stupid pony who always manages to ruin whatever good thing she has going for her, and I'm worried I'm going to lose you to a pony that's better." Fluttershy sighed, her mare friend was always a good flatterer. She knew she should make a bigger deal out of this to show her how much it hurts, but hearing her think of herself so low she couldn't help but want to give in.

She gently held her face between her hooves and brought her gaze to stare at her own, "Rainbow Dash, there is nopony better for me than you! I have always loved you, and I always will! I don't want another stallion or mare, I want my Dashie. My big, strong, hard headed, flashy, fast, brave, confident, funny, gorgeous, happy, wonderful, loving, and loyal Dashie who has taken care of me since we were fillies. You never have to worry about something like that." Fluttershy reassured, bringing their lips together for another kiss. Fluttershy kissed her gently, pulling apart after a moment.

Dash kept her eyes closed, thinking about her mare friend's words and feeling the taste of her mare friend linger. "I love you Fluttershy." The shy mare smiled back, "I love you to." Dash dug at the bed sheets with her hoof. "Can I still have my present?" she asked, a hopeful look in her eye. Fluttershy put one hoof to her chin in thought, the other flicking the buttons open slowly, making her mare friend hot with desire and panting like a dog. "Hmm, I suppose since you said you were sorry." Rainbow Dash shot out a loud yes, ripping the uniform right off her mare friend. Her wings twitched at seeing the pretty sight below her, even with Fluttershy trying to cover herself with her arms and wings, she still looked very seductive. The dark red and black lace hugged every part of her perfectly. "Fluttershy, get up and dance for me. I want to see how you look like moving in that." The excited pegasus ordered.

Fluttershy made a little whimper, getting up. She decided to remember her modeling career and stand against the head frame again, opening her wings and swishing her tail. "I have no idea what I'm doing!" Fluttershy nervously thought. "Damn she sure knows what she's doing!" Rainbow Dash lustfully thought. The athletic pegasus felt her mind cloud with passion when Fluttershy walked off the bed, wiggling her hips. She started using her wings and legs together, to gracefully dance around the room like a ballet. Dash sat against the head board and called her mare friend over, "Come here beautiful, I need to critique Rarity's work." Dash joked.

Fluttershy blushed and hovered over to her mare friend. They rolled around the sheets, full of giggles and moans. Things heated up quickly, Rainbow Dash slowly slipping off the lingerie and tasting every part of the yellow treat. "Tell me Shy, do you want your surprise to?" Dash asked as she lay on top of Fluttershy. Fluttershy was already breathing heavily from all the teasing she was getting and pretending to play out her fantasy. "Oh yes please Dashie. You know I do." Rainbow Dash hurried over to the suitcase. She looked back to her mare friend, "So, do you want me to do this with the jacket on or off?"

Rainbow Flash lay in the guest bed, a pillow over his head. He started tossing and turning, shooting up from his spot, looking like a mess. His mane and moustache spread from every direction, a few bags under his eyes. The constant moans, giggles, and thuds he heard threw the walls getting on his nerves. "Buck! I'm happy they are getting their alone time and all, but they are being way to bucking loud. They're going to wake up Sunburst and then there will really be trouble." Flash complained out loud as he walked to the room that was down the hall. The noise was only getting louder and more frantic, now hearing his daughter's grunts and Fluttershy's screams and moans all the more. By the time he reached the door, it sounded like Fluttershy was peaking, and he could even hear his daughter's cries of pleasure. He dragged a hoof over his face in embarrassment. He knocked on the door harshly.

On the other side, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were going at it. They stopped mid thrust, looking to the door in shock. "Rainbow Dash! Fluttershy! Keep it down in there, I'm trying to sleep. You two are going to wake up the whole neighborhood!" Rainbow Dash almost exploded in giggles while Fluttershy shut her eyes, still tied to the bed and unable to hide her face. "Uh, sorry dad, we will." She said, unsure of what to do. "Please do if I'm within a mile of you two banging! Goodnight!" he complained. They kept still and listen to the hoofsteps quiet down and the door shut.

Fluttershy peaked to see Dash all smiles. "Looks like my little sexy Shy needs to try harder at winning the keep quiet while I rock you game." Dash said smugly as she popped the collar of her jacket. "Maybe my Dashie is just too good at this game and I can't win." Rainbow Dash bent low and kissed the tip of her nose. "You done?" Fluttershy sighed, "I'm spent. You really worked me over." The tired pink mane pony replied. Rainbow Dash undid the ropes, only to collapse on her and not let her move from her position anyway. "Well when you wear something as provocative as this, you unleashed the beast." She nuzzled her mare friend, feeling gentle arms wrap around her waist. "Then I need to do more unleashing. Good night Rainbow. I love you." Rainbow Dash lifted her heavy head, the activity of the day catching up to her and kicking her in the flank, "I love you to Fluttershy."

Ok, this is officially my longest chapter and longest update. Sorry about that. I mentioned in a comment that I had a really bad back strain so it hurt to do anything besides lay flat or stand straight, so typing was a real chore. And a painful one. I'm all better now though. Now I know I promised more drama, and I tried to put some in, I have a lot more planned, but I felt like this chapter was already way long. So I decided to split this huge idea for a chapter into three parts. I also tried to put in some back story and family relationships. I barely remember my parents being together, because they divorced when I was a little over one. But I went through most of my childhood hearing from my mom how abusive my dad was, how angry and selfish, and since I rarely saw him, it was hard to think other wise. My dad got remarried and recently divorced his second wife, which was sad. But out of that, he started spending time with all my siblings and me. It has been great getting to know him, even after so many years wasted. Well anyway, he was in the Peruvian air force, and I asked him one day about why his and my mom's marriage failed and kind of hinted at what she told me. He admitted back then that he was an aggressive man, that is what he was trained to be. He was ashamed, but back then, he was ready to kill. So many years of being a retired fighter pilot, he finally dealt with his anger. That's what I was trying to go with Fluttershy's father, Sunburst. I have brothers in the Marines, who came out at least not abusive to others. So I showed the contrast of one who couldn't get out of the war set of mind (Sunburst) and ones who tried their best to move on (Flash). In both cases, war isn't something you can just switch off in your brain. So it's not that he was a bad pony, but left too long in that state made him aggressive, and finally years of being out of there he is becoming more of a father. So I hope that aspect of the story made sense for all of you. The hardest scene for me to write was them coming out to their parents. I know I waited two years after I became sexually active to tell my mom, I was so scared. I can't even imagine how tough it is to tell your parents about sexual preference. So I hope I did it justice. I also tried to throw in some romance, adult and innocence, and humor. Also the flash back with the year book was something I thought would be good, seeing how Fluttershy viewed Rainbow's dropping out and how she made it through her final year. I may or may not have a flash back of what Dash did n that time. And of course the home movie for Fluttershy's first bday was to show just how far back they really go, of course the cuteness of baby Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, while showing the family dynamic. I also wanted to show how Rainbow has come to terms with her dead mother, but how getting to see her face, especially moving and alive in the film, was something special to her. That was a last minute sort of thing I added to the family dynamic. Along with how Firefly, (Dash's mom) was already sick after her birth, and how Flash had to take on the role of both parents, while Flash and Sunbeam both leaned on each other to raise filly Flutters and Dash. A long authors note to match the long chapter. Also, I have started school again. Nine units of some lovely and tough science courses, so I will try and break up the chapters to be shorter so something is out there more. But updates will be more spread out because a lot of my focus has to be on these classes. I will try and write an hour a day though. Let's see if I can meet the deadline of finishing this before Christmas. Thanks to all who have been waiting and been reviewing. All your comments are so lovely and really encourage me when I'm at a lost of what to do! YAY!
