Chapter 31

It took about an hour for Rarity to arrive at Fluttershy’s house that night. They decided to skip the formality of supper and went straight out to the Riverfield.

Fluttershy knew right away that Rarity had been hard at work since the dinner at Applejack’s farm when she’d promised to step up her ‘homework’. Rarity certainly had a few tricks up her sleeve with her magic…she had done as I asked, working on some weapon designs as well being able to keep them materialized. It took just as much effort to maintain them as it did to conjure them up in the first place, so practicing that was just as important. On top of that, Rarity also came up with a few other ideas that Fluttershy was also very impressed with.

Rarity was also very impressed with Fluttershy’s use of her magic, utilizing the animals and birds around her home to trick and eventually drive away a well-trained CIA agent on her own. Her tactical use of the animals showed great potential as a warrior in the shy girl, although Fluttershy still insisted that she couldn’t have done it without Sunset and was eternally grateful that she just happened to be there that morning...which was true, but if she had followed Sunset’s orders completely, rather than thinking for herself for once, she would have lost her mind before the two weeks was over.

For the remainder of the night, which was fortunately clear with a bright, full moon, they decided to work on their flinching…as well as doing some sparring with each other, even though I wasn’t there to teach them any proper fighting techniques. Learning attacks wasn’t the objective anyway…they were more focused learning to let go of their intrinsic fear of pain, which had become a part of them throughout their lives, as it does with everyone.

Fluttershy was still having a hard time with keeping herself from flinching when Rarity would swing at her unexpectedly…although she was getting better at keeping herself steady while they were actively sparring.

Rarity was strong. Strong enough to surprise Fluttershy, who had obviously never fought with her like this before…they could wail on each other without hurting one another so they quickly started to learn a lot about each other as well as themselves.

Rarity, even though she came off as a posh and sometimes snobby fashion designer, at the core was a hard worker…most people didn’t realize the strength she’d built up over the years, carrying boxes of materials and finished products around, moving sewing machines and tables, display sets and cutting thick fabrics and leather by hand...she was by no means as strong as Rainbow Dash and certainly not Applejack, even without her magic strength, but she proved to be able to out-power her shy friend by a significant margin repeatedly.

One thing Fluttershy could consistently outperform Rarity on was her reflexes. Her reaction time, as long as she didn’t get scared and flinch, was remarkable. She had reflexes like a cat…to a point where Rarity suggested that it may even be another aspect of her magic, yet another connection to the animal world.

They felt very accomplished after spending the entire night tirelessly learning about themselves, their bodies, their abilities, their magic...and each other. They started to head back to the house when the sun began to come up, covering the beautiful field in the warm colours of the sunrise.

*****

On Thursday night Rarity came over again in the evening. It was still a bizarre feeling, spending an entire night with her friend out in the middle of nowhere, then going to work, then coming back to her friend’s house without ever going to sleep…it made it feel like the same long, never-ending day. In fact, to Rarity, life felt like just one long day now…it just continued on and on, sometimes it was dark and sometimes it was light outside.

That night, they decided to forego the training and spend some time together, like they used to when they were younger. They hadn’t had much time to spend alone together as best friends in recent years, especially in the past month or so with me around and with all the life-altering events that befell them.

Fluttershy cooked a nice supper for the both of them and they ate at the big table and talked back and forth to each other about work, family, the future, me, their training, their magic, their friends…and they both enjoyed each other’s company.

Fluttershy was especially happy after being alone for the full week with Cody outside watching and listening. What added to her happiness was Rarity, who was wearing the same thing as the first night that I took them out to the Riverfield…those skin-tight pants, that form-fitting, yet soft back shirt, showing off her petite frame and perky bust. Fluttershy loved the contrast of the dark clothing with Rarity’s powdery-white skin, and she loved her long purple hair, which was straight again tonight like the last time she looked like this, except this time she didn’t have it in a pony tail...instead, it just hung down both sides of her face and straight down her back. And her face, with no make-up again this time...her skin was still amazing with those subtle little freckles high up on her cheek bones…and her blue eyes always sparkled no matter how she was dressed.

As they visited, Fluttershy couldn’t stop hearing my voice in the back of her mind. “Why don’t you tell her how you feel?” The words repeated endlessly in the shy girl’s mind as she struggled to maintain concentration on what the fashionista was saying.

They moved over to the couch later in the evening after cleaning up the supper mess. It was after dark now, and the TV was now the only source of light in the house.

Fluttershy was on the chaise lounge with Rarity sitting a couple cushions down, sipping a hot tea.

Fluttershy snickered at her friend. “Why are you sipping that?”

Rarity looked at her. “It’s hot, dar-“ she stopped for a second. “Oh…well I still like to enjoy it.”

Fluttershy shook her fist at the indigo-haired girl. “Chug it!” she challenged with a playful giggle.

Rarity shook her head, about to refuse, wanting to say something about it not being lady-like, but then she shrugged her shoulders and downed the steaming beverage in a few gulps.

The pink-haired girl laughed softly, covering her mouth.

Rarity set the cup down on the floor by the couch. “I cannot believe I let you talk me into that, Fluttershy…” she said.

Fluttershy smiled. “We’re awesome.”

Rarity smiled back and nodded. “Indeed we are, darling. I cannot believe that man of yours has been living this way for so many years…just imagine some of the things he might have done…”

Fluttershy nodded as they both looked at the TV for a few minutes, thinking about the things they might see during their times ahead.

The shy girl sighed. “This TV is on all the time…and no one ever really watches it.”

“I’m not really interested in this show either, actually.” Rarity replied flatly. After a moment she turned to her friend. “Have you heard back from Golds yet?”

Fluttershy shook her head as she lit up her phone screen, looking at it, hoping to see a reply from me waiting for her.

“Don’t worry, darling. He’s probably just out somewhere with no service.” Rarity replied, trying to boost her friend’s outlook.

“Yeah.” Fluttershy said, putting her phone down again. “He wasn’t expecting to hear from us until the end of the week anyway, so…”

“Precisely, my dear.” was Rarity’s reply.

Both girls sat for a minute, then they both sighed simultaneously. They looked at each other, smiling back and forth.

“You must miss him so much.” Rarity said softly. “I can’t imagine how you must have felt last week, all alone out here.”

Fluttershy nodded. Then she looked at her purple-haired friend. “Do you miss him?” she asked. When Rarity turned to look at her, Fluttershy could see the rectangular glares of the TV shining in both of her big blue eyes, making the shy girl’s heart flutter at the sight of her lovely friend.

“Me?” Rarity asked, looking down at the couch cushions. “I suppose I do a bit.”

Fluttershy tilted her head, letting it rest on the back of the couch. “Come on, Rarity. Even after what happened the night he fixed the light in your boutique?”

Rarity smirked bashfully, reaching up with her fingertips to nervously flip her bangs, only to miss them, forgetting that her hair wasn’t styled with its usual bouncy swoops.

Fluttershy giggled at her friend’s obvious crush on her boyfriend.

Rarity sighed, sticking her nose up. “Fine. I do miss him. Very much. Are you happy?”

Fluttershy smiled at the sight of Rarity, doing her usual snobby nose-in-the-air routine without the fancy hair, make-up and clothes to go with it. “She’s so cute…” Fluttershy thought with a smile. “She acts like such a hoity-toity snob, but deep down I know she is just so adorable,” -- she drew in a slow exhale -- "and sexy..."

As Rarity blushed, Fluttershy’s instincts kicked in. She put her hand out, patting the cushion on the chaise lounge beside her. “You wanna sit here…um, w-with me?” she asked, hoping her friend would comply.

Rarity looked unsure for a second, not expecting such a request. Then she smiled lightly and shifted over next to the pink-haired girl. Fluttershy backed herself into the corner of the lounge to make room as the pale beauty snuggled in beside her.

As Fluttershy started to feel her friend’s warmth against her, she realized her prayers had been answered…even though Rarity had gone without her usual get-up, she still smelled the same. That sweet vanilla scent floated into the shy girl’s senses, causing her eyelids to flutter as she took in the luscious scent.

Fluttershy finally spoke. “Yes…actually. I…I am happy.”

“About what, darling?” Rarity asked, her eyes much closer to Fluttershy’s now.

“Um, that you miss him too.” She answered.

“Really? Why?” The purple girl asked.

Fluttershy turned her head down towards her feet. She looked at herself, wearing her usual green skirt and white tank top…she knew she was still the same person as she sat there, taking in her own details…but she felt like she was exploring a part of herself that she hadn’t seen before, nor did she know anything about. “I…I don’t actually know.” She answered, looking back at her friend. “But I am. I think you two are cute together.”

“Me and him?” Rarity replied, surprised by the statement. “But you two are…you know…”

Fluttershy nodded quickly. “I know, but…” she paused for a moment, steeling herself to continue. “I loved watching you two in the hot tub. You looked so…perfect together.”

Rarity blinked a couple times as she stared at her friend. A blush slowly crept up her face as the memory of that fateful night started coming back to her.

“You were so beautiful, Rare…” the shy girl said, quickly looking away as she blushed as well.

Rarity smirked as she cocked her eyebrows. “Really, darling? Me? You should have seen yourself…”

Fluttershy looked back in surprise. “Really?”

“Absolutely, darling. You were stunning. I wish I could pull off that kind of beautiful grace as effortlessly as you…” Rarity gushed.

“Rarity thinks I’m beautiful?” The shy girl thought to herself.

“It takes a lot of work to look the way I do…” Rarity said, looking down at herself. “I must look positively dreadful tonight…”

Fluttershy gasped softly. “Oh Rarity, no…I love the way you look when you’re like this.”

Rarity cocked an eyebrow. “You do?” she asked, as if she thought what her friend said was a cruel joke.

The shy girl nodded.

“Well, no matter…” Rarity started, “you hardly spend any time on yourself, darling…and you always look cute as a button…it drives me crazy!”

“I drive her crazy?”

Rarity continued, not really thinking about what she was saying. “In fact, when you were with him in the hot tub…I was watching the two of you…and…well, you were positively radiant! I found myself wishing I could be him…so I could have had y-“

She stopped suddenly as she noticed her friend staring at her, wide-eyed. Neither girl knew what to say.

Rarity cleared her throat. “Um, I…maybe shouldn’t have said that…”

Fluttershy drew in a breath as she regained her thoughts. “Oh, it’s OK…” Fluttershy reached for the TV remote. “Do you mind if I turn this off? It’s hurting my eyes.”

Both girls knew this couldn’t be true, but Rarity nodded anyway.

The TV went dark, leaving them in the pitch black silence. The only thing they could hear was each other’s breathing…they could both feel each other’s body heat as they remained snuggled together on the couch, neither one daring to move.

“W-well,” Fluttershy finally said. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish I was him too…”

Rarity searched in the dark for her friend, only knowing where she was now by feeling her breath blowing towards her cheek.

“Um, especially at the end…” the shy girl finished.

Rarity smiled in the dark. “Oh darling, it was you who worked him up to that…I only finished it…”

Fluttershy didn’t respond. Instead, Rarity could heard her friend’s soft breaths…which seemed to be getting closer to her face with every exhale. She could smell the shy girl’s hair now…its soft, floral scent made the fashionista want to take a deep breath through her nose to take in as much of it as she could.

Then she felt a gust of air on her cheek, right next to her nose…followed by the tip of Fluttershy’s nose softly touching her cheekbone just below her left eye. Rarity held her breath, closing her eyes when she realized the proximity of her friend’s lips, which finally made soft contact with her cheek.

Rarity was now very aware that her companion was searching for her lips in the dark…and she suddenly had goose bumps on her neck when she decided to help bring them together by turning her head to the left, feeling Fluttershy’s lips slowly slide across her cheek until they were against her own.

They held still for a moment, with their soft lips in contact.

Fluttershy’s heart almost leapt out of her chest. “I’m kissing Rarity…and…is she kissing me back?” The shy girl’s mind raced as a shiver went up her spine, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up.

The shy girl pushed forward slightly, pressing their mouths more firmly together. She puckered her lips against Rarity’s, then released their mouths from each other, causing a light pop sound to echo around the dark room as their lips separated.

Unexpectedly, but much to Fluttershy’s delight, Rarity came back…pressing her parted lips against the shy girl’s mouth again. Fluttershy’s heart rate started to increase immediately at her friend’s reciprocation. She took a deep breath through her nose as the vanilla scented girl massaged her lips against her own, eventually opening her mouth slightly…to which Fluttershy responded immediately, letting her lips part and feeling the fashionista’s warm breath gust into her mouth.

Fluttershy let her hand slide across Rarity’s lap, feeling the smooth material of her tight pants under her fingertips as she wrapped her hand around the far side of her friend’s thigh, then slid it up over her hip to her waist.

Rarity responded by sliding her dainty hand up the shy girl’s arm to her shoulder, finally ending with her palm on the side of her neck, lacing her fingers through the pink hair behind Fluttershy’s ear. The fashionista’s heart skipped a beat when she felt the tip of her friend’s tongue enter her mouth, slowly reaching in and touching her own tongue. She could taste the sweetness of Fluttershy’s saliva immediately, causing her tongue to reach back in search of more.

Their tongues started sliding around against one another, tickling and teasing, causing Rarity to smirk slightly, breaking the airtight seal at the corner of their mouths, letting a small gust of cool air into their connected mouths.

They finally broke the kiss, looking at each other in the dark, their eyes starting to adapt to the blackness by then.

Rarity could see the dim light from outside picking up the outline of her friend’s pink hair, which was hiding most of her face in shadow, rhythmically blowing out in front of her mouth as she breathed.

Fluttershy could see Rarity’s white face, almost glowing in the dark. Her hair flowed behind her, shining with a purple hue wherever the light danced off of the soft strands. Her blue eyes had tiny pinpoints of light glistening in them as she looked back at the shy girl.

Fluttershy finally pulled her friend in closer by her waist, kissing her lips a few more times before she started planting a line of kisses across Rarity’s soft cheeks. She leaned her head to the side, planting wet kisses on that tender white neck…just as she had thought about doing years ago when they were young teenagers. The vanilla scent was strong when the shy girl’s nose was so close to that purple hair, it intoxicated her as she nibbled on her friend’s ear lobe, earning her a giggle from the posh girl.

“Fluttershy…” Rarity whispered…not really looking for a response. It was more of a check on reality…confirming to herself that this was really happening. They had been friends for so many years...why was this happening now? And why did it feel so...right?

The shy girl continued planting kisses down Rarity’s neck, running her lips across the dainty collar bones under the pale skin. Fluttershy lowered her head more to reach her friend’s chest with her mouth, kissing the exposed skin that was left uncovered by the large neck opening of the tight black shirt.

Rarity could feel the pink hair draping against her bare skin, tickling lightly as she felt each kiss from the soft lips leave a little point of moisture wherever they landed, which would start to cool as soon as Fluttershy’s mouth left that spot. She let her head fall back against the couch back, breathing harder as the excitement heightened when she felt a gust of the shy girl’s breath blow down her shirt into her cleavage, causing goose bumps to pop up all over her skin.

Fluttershy got up onto her knees suddenly, turning to face Rarity. She gripped the fashionista by the hips, pulling her down on the cushion of the lounge so she was laying flat on her back.

“Oh! Darling…” Rarity breathed with surprise.

“Don’t worry…” Fluttershy replied quietly, as she straddled over her friend, putting one of knees in between Rarity’s legs, and the other knee to the left of her. The pink-haired girl then laid down on top of her friend…her taller, more graceful body covering Rarity up and hiding her from the rest of the room.

Their faces were surrounded by a curtain of pink hair, barely visible in the dark as the shy girl connected her lips to the pale beauty’s mouth once again, sharing their moisture, passing it back and forth with their tongues.

Rarity couldn’t believe the size of her friend’s bust once she was laying on top of her. She had never noticed how full and round they were until now, having them pressed down against her own chest. They were soft, but warm as they squeezed against her, pressing up in the tank top, creating very appealing cleavage that Rarity wished she could see more clearly in the dark of the room.

Fluttershy reached down and hiked up her green skirt to expose her leg, then slid her right thigh up, letting it press against the warmth between Rarity’s legs. She could feel the heat of her friend’s arousal on her skin through the purple tights as she slid herself upwards against the petite white body, letting her leg rub firmly against the warm mound.

Rarity couldn’t help but let out a moan when she felt the sudden stimulation, her face had a shocked expression at the sudden thought that Fluttershy, her best friend, was pleasuring her…and it felt wonderful, like the most natural thing that could have happened. It rendered her speechless, just wanting to lay back and take it all in.

Fluttershy was actually starting to wonder if I had been exaggerating about how much Rarity talked during sex, or if it was just because of who her partner was tonight that was keeping the fashionista silent.

The shy girl slid up on the pale beauty again, her elevated position with her thigh pressed between Rarity’s legs along with Fluttershy’s taller height put her face above the top of her friend’s head. This also put her bust level with Rarity’s chin as the pink-haired girl supported herself on her arms above her friend.

Rarity wrapped her arms around the small of Fluttershy’s back as she reached up with her mouth to kiss the shy girl’s cleavage, dangling just above her face, suspended there as the girl on top slid down and back up again, sending another jolt of pleasure from the fashionista’s moistening heat up through her body.

Fluttershy looked down at the pale, but lovely face of her friend, loving the way her purple eyebrows furrowed when she thrusted against her with her bare thigh, listening as her breath hitched every time she felt the wave of pleasure hit her. Fluttershy was starting to feel the dampness through the purple tights now against the skin of her leg, giving her encouragement to accelerate her action, knowing that she was showing Rarity a good time. She reached down with her lips to plant a kiss on the white forehead of her friend, who was now thrusting her hips upward into the shy girl’s leg every time she ground it against her body.

Fluttershy continued the assault on Rarity’s body as it radiated heat from her snowy-white skin, a contradiction of the usual freezing cold connected to the imagery of rolling white hills in the wintertime…all the while the indigo-haired girl thrusted her hips back against the now wet yellow thigh of her best friend. The fashionista’s breathing was reaching very high levels, Fluttershy could feel the hot breaths hitting her chest, blowing down between her breasts as they hung in place above Rarity’s mouth.

“Rarity…” Fluttershy whispered. “Are you OK?”

She could just barely see her white-skinned friend nod her head in the dark. “I’m…” she tried to speak as Fluttershy continued grinding against her. “I’m going to…”

“Shhhh…” Fluttershy shushed her quietly as she closed her eyes and leaned down, smelling the purple, vanilla-scented hair that was fanned all around her.

Rarity could feel the light tickle of Fluttershy’s fragrant pink hair drag across her face as she positioned her mouth at the side of the pale girl’s head. Then she heard the soft, shy voice breathe in her ear.

“Cum for me…”

Rarity’s eyes popped open at the sound of the demand made of her by her friend, and the intensity of her pleasure sky-rocketed with every thrust against the pool of juice between her legs as she pushed back with her hips, staying in synch with Flutterhy’s movements against her.

The orgasm hit Rarity suddenly, like a lightning strike…she used her arms to pull Fluttershy’s body down against hers, holding the shy girl tight as her hips jerked, rubbing her mound against the bare skin of the shy girl’s thigh.

As she came down from the pleasure, she looked up at her friend in the dark. She moved one hand up, grabbing the back of the pink haired girl’s head and pulling her in to kiss her deeply. Fluttershy had to act quickly, using her fingers to brush the hair clear of her face so it didn't get stuck between their lips before Rarity could connect their mouths in her haste.

As they locked their mouths together, swirling their tongues around one another, breathing on each other’s faces through their noses, letting out the occasional moan into the other person’s mouth, Rarity began to slide her dainty white hand under Fluttershy’s body. Fluttershy responded by lifting her rear end up, supporting herself on her knees again.

She could feel Rarity’s hand gently touch her inner thigh, sliding up higher until her fingers grazed the shy girl’s dampened panties.

Rarity cupped her hand over the center of the plain underwear, feeling the intense heat and wetness from her arousal soaking through the material onto her palm. She rubbed her hand against it briefly, before running her fingertips up to the elastic band at the top of the under garments and slipping her fingers inside, sliding them down the hairless mound and plunging her middle finger into the hot, wet slit.

She proceeded to rub circles around the shy girl’s delicate flesh, spreading the slick moisture around as Fluttershy nuzzled her face against the side of Rarity’s head, burying her nose into the sweet-smelling purple locks of hair as she breathed moans of enjoyment into her friend’s ear, each one coming out at a higher pitch than the last.

Rarity decided to take it further, reaching her two middle fingers down and sliding them inside Fluttershy’s wet opening with ease. She hooked her fingers deep into the hot flesh, stroking them in and out, listening to the shy girl’s breathing become broken, pausing between spasms as her orgasm approached quickly.

Fluttershy’s entire body locked up when it hit her. She trembled as Rarity continued to run her fingers in and out, letting her soft, white palm rub against her clit. The shy girl held her breath, keeping her face against the fashionista’s cheek, her face getting hot as the blood rushed to the surface. She held her eyes shut tightly, holding onto Rarity’s other cheek with her hand.

A sudden gust of hot air exploded from Fluttershy’s mouth as her orgasm subsided and she let her tall, slender body collapse onto the petite white frame of her friend below.

Rarity pulled her arm out from under the shy girl’s body, bringing her wet fingers up to her face. Fluttershy grabbed her hand and wrapped her lips around the white middle finger, cleaning the juice off as she slid it out of her mouth. Rarity shuddered at the feel of the warm mouth on her finger, watching as it emerged clean from her friend’s mouth.

Rarity decided to try to surprise her friend by putting her ring finger in her own mouth, tasting the juice of her friend as she licked it off, seeing Fluttershy’s eyes watching her in the dark at the unexpected deviousness of her friend.

Fluttershy leaned in to give Rarity a gentle kiss on her lips, then slid her body down a bit so she could rest her head on the purple-haired girl’s shoulder. She laid there for a moment, still breathing hard, smelling the vanilla fragrance mixed with the smell of their arousal in the air.

“Darling, that was…” Rarity started, then trailed off.

Fluttershy looked up at her, waiting for her to finish.

“Just…well,” Rarity stammered, then paused, followed by clearing her throat. “Thank you, Flut-…darling.”

Fluttershy smiled. “Um, did you like it?”

Rarity nodded. “It was perfect, darling, but…could we leave it there for a bit…if you please?”

“What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked, slightly concerned.

“It’s just a lot…right now. For me.” Rarity replied.

Fluttershy nodded after a short pause. “It’s OK, Rare. We’ll go as slow as you want.” She said. “We have lots of time.”

Both girls laid silently for a minute, listening to each other’s breathing, feeling each other’s warmth.

Fluttershy finally spoke again. “I actually have something else coming up that I have to deal with, too…something I promised.”

Rarity frowned, looking at the ceiling confused. “Something else? What do you mean, darling?”

“Sunset…” Fluttershy said in a dazed tone.

“Sunset Shimmer?” Rarity replied. “What about her?”

“She wants to become immortal…” the shy girl answered.

Rarity’s eyes went wide. “You’re kidding…”

“Nope.” Fluttershy continued. “She surprised me with it, too. She came out here to talk to me about it the day Mr. Cody showed up.”

Rarity laid there, staring at the ceiling in disbelief before she gasped. “That’s why Sunset was here that morning??”

Fluttershy nodded. “Mm-hm.”

After a moment, Rarity spoke again. “So,” she said, “are you going to let her?...you know, have sex with Golds?" Then the fashionista's eyes got wide as she thought of something else. "…Oh wait! Does he know?”

“No, he doesn’t know.” Fluttershy answered. “And yes, I’m going to let her do it with him. She wants to be like us, Rare. I think we should let her.”

“I understand.” Rarity said with a sigh, trying to avoid being territorial of me and Fluttershy.

“I’m not really sure how it will go…hopefully me and Goldie can have some fun with her,” Fluttershy said in a soft daze.

Rarity sighed. ”I’m sure you will, darling.”

*****

It was Saturday morning.

I turned the lock on the bay door and slid it up, coming face-to-face with the dark blue tailgate and chrome rear bumper of my truck. The storage bay had a tinge of diesel fuel smell in it now after housing the truck inside for almost two weeks, making it smell like an old bulldozer had been kept in there instead of a pickup truck.

I got in and set the cardboard box I was carrying with me on the passenger seat, then started the truck up. After a minute of idling to let it warm up, I put it in reverse and backed it out of the storage bay.

I stopped at the side of the laneway out of the storage lot to pull my long-dead cell phone out of my pocket and plug it into the power port in the dash. I set it on the seat beside me as I pulled out onto the road. As I accelerated to speed and set the cruise control, I finally heard my phone chime to life. I glanced down at it, seeing a notification for one single message, sent about three days earlier.

I reached down and tapped it to see what it was.

FLUTTERSHY: Come home to me.
