The Show Must Go On
Chapter 1
Load Full Story Next ChapterRainbow Dash arrived at the theater on-time for once. They had all agreed to meet at the movies to catch the last showing of some new horror film and she was excited to find them. She did not really care to see the movie, she was more excited to see Fluttershy. The two had been together for a year now and Rainbow could not be happier about it, even if Fluttershy wanted to keep it a secret from the rest of their friends.
Rainbow scanned the crowd for her friends, knowing them they would not be very difficult to find. Sure enough, as soon as the thought crossed her mind, Rainbow heard the sound of laughter and saw a stream of what appeared to be confetti flying into the air.
Rainbow chuckled to herself as she made her way through the crowd towards the commotion. Rainbow found her friends standing before the ticket booth laughing at something Pinkie Pie had done. "Hey guys." she said as she approached the group. Rainbow looked among her friends for a moment. "Where's Fluttershy?" she asked.
"She said she'd be a few minutes late." Sunset said as she pulled some money from her pockets. "Here. I've got enough here for us all to have our own popcorn." she said.
"You didn't have to do that." Rarity said.
"I know. I wanted to." Sunset said, pressing the money into Rarity's hand before passing more to the rest of the group.
"Well, thank ya kindly." Applejack said.
"Yeah, thanks." Rainbow said as she idly shoved the money into one of her pockets. She had already been planning on buying her own, but she was not about to turn down free food.
"Thanks Shimmy." Pinkie said as she shoved the money into her hair.
"Yes, thank you very much, darling." Rarity said.
"I'm here." A quiet voice announced from behind the group. Honestly, had she not been her girlfriend, Rainbow probably would not have even been listening for the voice.
Rainbow barely contained a grin as she realized her girlfriend had finally arrived. "Took you long enough." she said.
"I'm sorry." Fluttershy mumbled. "I was just making sure my animals had enough food for the night."
"It's not like you won't be home in a couple hours." Sunset said quizzically. "Do you really worry about them that much."
Fluttershy simply nodded, however she and Rainbow had already planned to spend the night together after the movie at Dash's house.
"Well c'mon y'all." Applejack said as she made her way inside the building. "Movie's gonna start any minute now."
The group all murmured their assent and entered the building. Rainbow attempted to maneuver closer to Fluttershy, but her attempts were thwarted by the crowd and after several failed attempts she growled in frustration before giving up.
They found their way to their theater before the majority of the crowd and took their seats close to the screen. Rainbow grunted in frustration when Rarity and Applejack took both of the seats next to Fluttershy.
The movie was long and boring to the girl as all she could do during the film was wish to be a little closer to her girlfriend. Being in a covert relationship made spending time together very difficult and theirs was no exception. Still, Rainbow wished that she could at-least be near her girlfriend when they were all out together like this.
Rainbow watched the movie with vague contempt as she day-dreamed about spending time with Fluttershy afterwards. It was supposed to be a horror film, but Rainbow never flinched nor jumped through the whole thing. The others, however were terrified through most of it and Rainbow noticed, Fluttershy had stopped watching in lieu of playing on her phone. That was how Fluttershy handled most things that scared her; she ignored them until they went away.
Rainbow smiled as she felt her own phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulled it out and checked her newest message, which was from Fluttershy.
Can't wait to get you home. ;)
Rainbow smiled and replied quickly. She was not really watching the movie anyways.
Oh?
Fluttershy smiled mischievously as she typed out her reply.
To be specific, I can't wait to get you to bed.
Rainbow blushed as she read the message and she had no sooner finished when another one appeared.
That is, if you don't mind my bluntness.
Dash had to force herself not to laugh at the message. Even when she was trying to be a bad girl, Fluttershy was still the same sweet innocent girl she had always been. It really warmed the heart to know that.
I dont mind if you dont babe
Her texting was a league above most, but Rainbow still did not use any punctuation.
What do you mean? I didn't think you had said anything blunt.
She grinned as she replied, knowing exactly what would happen when she sent the message.
No I havent but Id say my tongue is pretty blunt
Fluttershy squeaked almost inaudibly before putting her phone away and blushing wildly
Dash snickered as she stuffed her own phone into her pocket. The remainder of the movie was mostly uneventful, aside from Pinkie yelling at the screen, and it was soon over.
The girls all headed outside in a group chatting about the film and Rainbow finally managed to squeeze in between Sunset and Fluttershy as they walked.
"Did you see that guy rip out their eyes? That was crazy!" Pinkie explained as she hopped down the street.
Fluttershy paled slightly and unconsciously pulled closer to Rainbow Dash. "I didn't like that part..." she mumbled.
"So, is anybody up for ice-cream?" Sunset asked.
"Not after seein' that." Applejack mumbled. "Besides, I gotta get home. Little Bloom's been feelin' under the weather. Gotta take care o' her."
"I'll help." Rarity said walking next to the girl. "She must have whatever Sweetie Belle had last week."
"Ain't you got an appointment at the runway tomorrow?" Applejack asked.
"Yes, but I can cancel it to help you." Rarity said with a warm smile.
Applejack said nothing for a while, but then gave the other girl a sad smile. "Alright. Thanks, Rares."
"My pleasure. We shall see the rest of you later, I suppose." Rarity announced to the group as the two girls pulled away to walk in the other direction.
The other girls all lived relatively close together and continued to walk after the other two departed. "Anybody else want ice-cream?" Sunset asked again.
"Sorry." Pinkie said before bouncing in the direction of her house. "I have some work to do tonight. I'll see you girls later." and with that she bounced away excitedly. Rainbow thought that the girl always seemed excited, but tonight it seemed escalated.
"Rainbow? Fluttershy?" Sunset almost pleaded.
"Sorry." Rainbow said. "Why don't you go get it yourself?"
Sunset sighed. "Because, I wanted you guys to go..."
"We appreciate the offer, and we're glad you want to spend time with us, but we have plans. I'm sorry." Fluttershy said.
"It's not just that..." Sunset mumbled. "I didn't want to look fat..."
"Why would you look fat for buying ice-cream by yourself?" Rainbow asked.
"Because... I wanted to buy a lot..." Sunset said. "Like... five quarts."
"Jesus!" Rainbow yelled. "Why?"
"Because I want five quarts." Sunset snapped. "You guys wouldn't believe my metabolism."
"That makes sense, you are a pony after all." Fluttershy said. "Ponies have exceptionally better metabolisms than humans, and that metabolism may have carried over to you-"
"You've lost me." Rainbow announced.
"I just know I want a lot of ice-cream." Sunset mumbled.
"Parlor's that way." Rainbow said gesturing in the other direction. "They close in an hour, I'd hurry."
They stopped in their tracks while Sunset shuffled nervously.
"I have an idea." Fluttershy announced happily as she pulled out her phone.
"Who are you calling?" Rainbow asked.
Fluttershy simply smiled and winked as she pressed the phone against her ear. "Hello?"
Sunset and Rainbow stepped closer attempting to hear the whole conversation in vain.
"Yes, I'm having a party and I was wondering how much four quarts of ice-cream would be."
"Chocolate." Sunset whispered in a hungry tone.
"Okay." Fluttershy said into the phone. "Could I get five in chocolate. Yes, I'll send somebody over there to pick it up in about half an hour. Thank you."
Fluttershy barely had time to close the phone before Sunset threw her arms around the meek girl. "Thank you, Fluttershy." she said. "I owe you one."
"It was no trouble, Sunset."
"You better get going if you want to make it in time." Rainbow said as she began walking down the street. "We'll see you later."
"Rainbow?" Fluttershy said. "She's already gone."
Rainbow looked over her shoulder to see that Sunset was indeed gone. "Huh... girl really likes ice-cream."
Rainbow laughed slightly as she and Fluttershy continued down the road to her house. "I'm glad you're staying with me tonight..." Rainbow said, her voice low.
"Me too..." Fluttershy said.
"That house..." Rainbow sighed. "It's felt kinda empty since dad..."
Fluttershy simply smiled a sad smile at her and grabbed her hand. "I'm here." she said. A simple statement that should have meant little to the girl, and yet it meant the world.
"Thank you." Rainbow said, squeezing the other girl's hand.
The two walked in companionable silence after that, simply enjoying one-another's company until they arrived at Rainbow's house.
The two entered the house and Rainbow took a deep breath before saying what was on her mind. "Maybe you could stay here more often..."
"Maybe." Fluttershy said.
"Or you could just move in..." Rainbow braced herself. She knew more-or-less how this conversation would go. Fluttershy's extreme fear of being discovered would probably prevent her from moving in, but Rainbow thought it made since. They both lived alone and had no family left. They had been dating for a year now; it just made sense that they should move in together.
"Dashie..." Fluttershy said with a sigh. "We can't do that. Our friends would find out."
"They will eventually anyways." Dash said. "It's not like they'll hate us for being together."
"But, what if they do, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. Rainbow knew the girl well enough by now to know the warning signs. Tears would soon be involved, and still Rainbow pressed.
"Fluttershy... I'm telling you they won't. Our friends would support us regardless." she said.
They had idly wandered to the bedroom at this point and Fluttershy sat on the edge of the bed. "But, what if they don't?" she asked.
"They will." Rainbow said, sitting on the bed next to her girlfriend.
"I'm scared, Dashie..." Fluttershy said, sobbing. "I'm so scared t-that they won't l-l-love us anymore."
Dash knew that the conversation had reached it's end. Fluttershy wouldn't be swayed tonight; she would just have to try again later. "They need to know..." she said as she placed her arms around Fluttershy. "But it can wait, if you want it to."
Fluttershy nestled her head into the crook of Rainbow's neck. "I'm sorry... I know I'm weak..."
"No, you're just scared. I understand." Rainbow said, pulling her closer. "If you want to wait to tell them, I understand and I'm totally behind you."
Fluttershy smiled at her then with her usual warmth. "Thank you." she said, pulling closer to Dash.
Their kiss started as a simple peck, but with all of the desire Dash had been feeling for her girlfriend lately it turned into more. The kiss became desperate, Rainbow wanted- no, needed to be as close as possible to the other girl.
They fell back into the bed, still kissing intensely, the entire world lost to them. To their moment.
They continued their passionate kissing for several minutes without stopping before Rainbow rolled on top of Fluttershy. Without breaking the kiss Rainbow slid her hands under Fluttershy's shirt and used the back of her wrists to push the shirt away.
Rainbow finally pulled away long enough to slide her own shirt over her head. She flashed a smile at her lover while she fiddled with the hooks on her bra.
Fluttershy arched her back to reach her own bra hooks. They both tossed the garments into the floor before resuming their kissing with every bit of the passion they had before. Fluttershy moaned quietly as Rainbow's tongue entered her mouth and slid against her own. Then Rainbow noticed the feeling of fingertips gingerly tracing her well-toned stomach.
Fluttershy's hand soon found it's way below Rainbow's skirt, her fingers fidgeting about the band of Dash's panties before sliding beneath the fabric.
Rainbow gasped loudly as she felt a finger press against her clit. Fluttershy's other fingers joined the other and she began to rub small slow circles in the flesh.
Rainbow whimpered at the agonizingly slow pace that Fluttershy seemed content with keeping.
They kissed through Rainbow's moaning as Fluttershy finally picked up the pace and Rainbow grabbed Fluttershy's breast with one hand as her other snaked down beneath her skirt joining Fluttershy's.
Rainbow's fingers pressed against Fluttershy's as she forced the other girl to increase her speed even more. Rainbow began moaning louder as she felt the pressure building between her thighs and one of Fluttershy's fingers entered her. Fluttershy was forceful entering the girl and Rainbow nearly screamed as she began pistoning her finger inside of her.
"F-f-Fluttershy!" she yelled, throwing her head back. "I'm c-c-coming!" Then the waves of pressure crashed within her as she began yelling and moaning at the top of her lungs and she grabbed a handful of Fluttershy's hair and pulled. Fluttershy whimpered just like she always did.
After the pulses of pressure subsided Rainbow released her hold on the other girl, and Fluttershy slid her hand out of the other girl's skirt.
"Uhm... Rainbow?" Fluttershy prompted.
"I'm on it." Rainbow said, before kissing the girl one last time. She then slid down the bed into the floor. Sitting on her knees she pulled Fluttershy's ankles till her rear was placed squarely on the edged of the bed.
Rainbow then placed a trail of kisses down Fluttershy's stomach as she slid her lovers skirt and underwear off.
Slowly, Rainbow pushed apart Fluttershy's knees as her kisses found Fluttershy's slit. Rainbow opened her mouth and used her tongue to push apart Fluttershy's lower lips and she moaned quietly as Rainbow's tongue circled inside her lover.
After a few moments of simply flicking her tongue inside the girl; relishing the taste of her lover in her mouth, Rainbow's hand joined her tongue. She began rubbing furiously as her tongue pressed fully inside of the girl and Fluttershy began moaning at a slightly louder volume.
Fluttershy's juices rushed into Rainbow's mouth; indicating that the girl was growing closer to her climax.
Rainbow felt Fluttershy's hand on the back of her head as she tried to urge the girl to speed up, to which she obliged.
Rainbow slid her finger inside her lover as she sucked on the girl's nub. Fluttershy whimpered loudly when Rainbow placed a gentle bite on the girl's clit.
"Dashie..." she called softly before her hips began bucking softly into the other girls face, her tongue still playing with the girl's clit and her fingers still rubbing her skin.
Fluttershy's orgasm was almost unnoticeable compared to Rainbow's; it was gentle and quiet. The spasms ceased to rock her body as Fluttershy slid to the head of the bed. Rainbow soon joined the girl and wrapped her arms around her and Fluttershy laid her head on her chest.
"I love you, Rainbow Dash." she said.
"I love you too, my butterfly." Rainbow hated being cheesy, but she knew her girlfriend loved.
"Tell me it'll always be like this." Fluttershy said.
Rainbow nearly cringed. This was not where she wanted to be in another year. Hiding and keeping secrets. "It's going to be better than this... I promise."
Rainbow did not know who she was promising, Fluttershy... or herself.
