Wow. So much happened last night, I hardly know where to begin.

First off, Applejack taught us all how to square dance and line dance. Of course, Pinkie Pie already knew how. Rainbow Dash picked it up almost immediately (I think she wanted to turn it into a competition), but as for me? I'm still all rear hooves. AJ is just amazing at dancing, though. She's so strong and muscular that I'd never thought of her as being graceful before, but she and Big Macintosh did a paired dance to show off their skills. It's an odd dance style, but wow, they were so smooth and fluid.

Then Fluttershy and Big Mac did a dance together. It was slower and gentler, but nearly as impressive. Fluttershy explained that she'd been taking lessons from Big Mac recently. I thought it was really nice to see them dancing face to face with big smiles, because clearly they're good friends.

So here's the bombshell. Fluttershy has been dating Big Macintosh! As her very special somepony! I really didn't see this coming, but I guess I'm pretty dense at noticing these kinds of things. I figured it out when I saw them briefly kiss, and I got this confused look on my face and everypony looked at me in incredulity, as if to say, how could I possibly not know this by now? Well, at least now I know.

In my defense, Fluttershy has been overly touchy-feely with everypony lately. After we retired up to the loft, she reared up and gave me a nice long hug. Like, a little bit too long, so I was kind of worried, but she wasn't clingy or trembling or anything. She just put her hooves around my back, pulled me close, and whispered what a special friend I am to her, which I'm sure made me blush. I think she was stroking my mane through part of it. Fluttershy is a wonderful friend, but this was kind of weird. I've never known her to invade anyone's personal space before, and I have to admit I felt more than a little uncomfortable. I can give her some leeway, though. She's just happy to be with her friends, and I'm certain she's not over Discord leaving yet.

When we lay down for the evening, Applejack opened the loft to stars and crickets. It's so pretty at night in Sweet Apple Acres, given the lack of light pollution. I need to take my telescope down here sometime and see if it helps. Apple Bloom joined us, and we all curled up in sleeping bags. Big Mac and Fluttershy didn't have a sleeping bag. They just held one another for warmth, which was pretty adorable. I guess it's getting serious between them. Applejack asked them not to roll in the hay while we were sleeping, which made Apple Bloom laugh out loud. I asked what was wrong with the hay, and then everypony laughed, so I laughed too. I still don't get it, but that's okay. I like having flaws. It makes me feel normal.
