Ditzy and Rainbow fell back onto the bed, panting heavily from their recent physical exertion. They both nuzzled each other as they slowly came down from their euphoric heights. Ditzy rubbed a hoof through Dash’s colourful mane, now slightly damp with sweat, as she gazed deeply into Rainbow’s beautiful magenta eyes. Rainbow gave a satisfied sigh as she shuffled closer to Ditzy and pressed her muzzle against hers in a short, sweet kiss.

“I guess the saying is true.” Exclaimed Ditzy, smirking.

Rainbow Dash traded her look of contentment for one of confusion.
“Saying? What saying?”

Ditzy giggled. “That there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.”

Rainbow blushed as Ditzy continued giggling. She gave a weak grin before sitting up again in the bed. Ditzy frowned, she wanted to keep looking at the magenta gemstones occupying Rainbow’s eye sockets.

“Lie back down.” Ditzy whined.

Dash turned back to face the grey pegasus. While Ditzy was whining, she had put on a pout in a vain attempt to get her to obey. Rainbow was a sucker for adorableness, and the pout Ditzy had put on wasn’t helping. She had planned to go and make some coffee to rejuvenate their energy, but it could wait.

Rainbow lay down on the bed. Ditzy immediately pulled her into a snuggle. As Dash returned the embrace, she thought she heard sniffling. Looking at the pegasus beside her, Dash noticed tears welling up in Ditzy’s crossed eyes, slowly starting to dribble down her cheeks. Rainbow furrowed her brow in concern.

“Hey. What’s wrong?”

Ditzy turned her head away, a blush forming on her cheeks as a growing sense of awkwardness overcame her. The tears now ran down her face as feelings caught up with her. Dash had no idea how to calm the sobbing pegasus, she never was too good at dealing with emotions. She instead did something her own mother would have done when Dash was feeling down; she leaned over to Ditzy and wrapped her hooves around her. Rainbow then started quietly humming a small tune into Ditzy’s ear. She had no idea why, but it was the only thing she could think of to calm the sobbing mare.

Ditzy lowered her head into Dash’s shoulder, enjoying both the embrace and the melody. She calmed down as she allowed Dash’s body heat and scent to fill her up. Rainbow Dash smelled of wild berries with just a hint of spice, and after their activities a slight whiff of sweat.

After Ditzy had managed to calm herself, she looked up at Rainbow. She took a hoof off of the blue pegasus, rubbed the tears from her face, before returning it to Dash’s withers.

“You wanna tell me what that was about?” Rainbow asked sympathetically.

Ditzy nodded her head as she took a deep breath to try and calm herself some more.

“It’s just... You are the first pony in years to...” She trailed off.

Dash leaned over to Ditzy as she whispered the last part her sentence.
“... Show me love.”

Rainbow felt deeply touched at Ditzy’s words. She didn’t say anything back to the grey mare; instead Rainbow Dash leaned in for another kiss. She mainly just wanted Ditzy to feel secure in her time of need. Ditzy closed her eyes as her mind traveled to a beautiful single cloud high in the sky, views in all directions as far as the eye could see. She felt far away from all her problems. She was brought back into the room when Rainbow removed her muzzle from hers.

“I’m gonna go make some coffee, want some?” Rainbow asked.

Ditzy pondered the question for a moment. She wasn’t a huge coffee lover, but she could make an exception from time to time.

“Yeah I’d love one.” Ditzy replied, stretching the truth slightly. “Just let me shower first, I’m all sweaty.”

Dash threw the quilt off of herself and then rolled off the bed. Ditzy followed close behind, her eyes transfixed on Rainbow as her tail swished hypnotically from side to side. Ditzy reached the bathroom and went inside, but peered round the still open door as she watched Rainbow trot down the hallway. Dash suddenly stopped in the hallway and turned her head to face Ditzy, a small grin on her face. Ditzy blushed as she quickly pulled her head back in and slammed the door shut. She listened to Dash’s laughing as she twiddled the shower faucet. A nice shower would definitely clear her mind.

-25 minutes later-

Ditzy rubbed a towel through her mane as she slowly opened the bathroom door. Steam poured out into the hallway as Ditzy trotted out, immersing her in a haze of warmth. Soon though the steam dissipated, leaving Ditzy in the cold. As she walked into the living room, the smell of coffee filled her nostrils. She looked over to the couch, where Rainbow lay comfortably on her stomach watching some sort of concert on TV. Two cups of coffee sat atop the table, one of which was half drained.

As she trotted into the room, Rainbow sat up and turned towards the door where Ditzy was stood. Rainbow smiled at Ditzy, before turning away and reaching for both mugs of coffee. She turned back and offered the full one to Ditzy.

“Still want it?” Rainbow asked.

Ditzy nodded and made her way over to the couch. She sat next to Rainbow as the cup was passed into her hooves. It was still quite hot, so Ditzy took care when sipping it. She sunk deeper into the couch as the drink warmed her belly. There wasn’t enough sugar for Ditzy’s taste, but then what she called coffee would be too sugary for even Pinkie to handle. She decided to put the cup back on the table seeing as she probably wouldn’t be wanting it again. Ditzy focused on the TV, Dash bobbed her head in time with the electric beats seeping from the TV. A white unicorn with a blue mane and a pair of purple shades was working the deck. Lasers and other light displays illuminated the stage. Even through the TV screen, Ditzy could feel the vibration making it’s way through the couch.

“Who’s that?” Asked Ditzy.

Rainbow returned a mixed look of shock and surprise. Her mouth hung open as the power of speech was momentarily ripped from her grasp. Once the initial shock had worn off, she pointed to the TV.

“You don’t know who that is?” Dash asked, clearly still dumbfounded.

Ditzy felt awkward, she felt as though she’d asked a stupid question. She’d never really kept up to date with music, she barely owned any CD’s, and the ones she did were easily older than five years.

“Well... no.” Ditzy replied

Rainbow facehoofed. She then looked up at Ditzy’s confused face with an expression that read ‘I am not amused’.

“That’s only the most popular musician in Equestria!” Dash exclaimed. “That was her last tour, wait for this year's one!”

Ditzy glanced back at the TV, an amazing light display dominated the stage. The unicorn’s shades glinted more colours than Ditzy thought existed. As she listened to the electro music, she noticed her hind leg begin twitching, synchronised with each beat of the fast paced music. Rainbow averted her gaze from the TV when a bobbing grey leg caught her attention. She watched as Ditzy twitched her leg, slowly drawing her eyes up the mailmare’s body. She had lost all interest in the TV show, the music becoming little more than a dull thudding in the background.

Ditzy was enjoying the music, but was interrupted when she felt a slight weight on her haunches. She turned her head to face a now blushing Rainbow Dash. She cast a smile at Rainbow as she felt her own blush starting to burn her cheeks.

"You look so cute when you blush." Said Dash.

Ditzy could have collapsed had she not been sitting down. Dash just called her cute, increasing the redness of her blush by at least five shades. Ditzy could have returned a cheesy romantic one liner, but instead felt it more apt to lean accross and lie on top of Dash.

"You're cute too..." Ditzy whispered. She nuzzled up to Dash and gave her a peck on the lips.

Under the weight of the pegasus on top of her, Dash was unable to move. Not that she'd want to. She reveled in the kiss, her mind begging for more. Dash let out a giggle as she craned her neck up to Ditzy. The grey mare knew exactly what Dash was after, and being the generous pony she was, readily gave the eagerly awaited gift.

They wrapped each others hooves around their haunches as they sloppily explored each others mouths. Ditzy broke the kiss only momentarily to shut off the volume on the TV so she could focus more on her own private show. Finally in silence, the two pegasi could fully concentrate on each other, feeling each other's pulses race as their tongues danced together, performing a perfect serenade.

So engrossed in their 'activity', they failed to notice the front door slowly squeak open. A certain unicorn filly had decided to call it a day at the park, and had returned home to surprise her mom with an early return. Dinky was about to call out for her Mama when she heard giggling from the living room.

Dinky tip-trotted through the hallway of the house, she didn't want to ruin the surprise. As Dinky poked her head around the doorframe of the living room, she heard a small squeak, followed by more giggling.

The couch was positioned with its back to the door, so Dinky couldn't see what was going on. She could see a shock of blonde barely peeking over the top, and a rainbow tail cascading down the side of the armrest like a tasty looking waterfall.

As Dinky tried her best to be quiet, she couldn't help but snicker at how her Mama might react. Dinky knew she could always surprise her mom with a sneak attack, and her mission of stealth was going well. As Dinky reached the couch, she stood up on her hind legs. She hooked her hooves around the back rest and waited for the oppurtune moment.

Suddenly, Dinky sprang up as high as she could so she could make the leap onto the back rest.

"SURPRISE!" Shouted Dinky at the top of her lungs.

Ditzy's eyes sprang open in fear as she toppled off of Dash, screaming all the while. The sudden shock had caught both pegasi by surprise, Rainbow's face became stuck in a look of abject terror as Ditzy's scream pierced the air.

Dinky could not remember the last time she had laughed so hard. She toppled forward onto the couch cushion where Ditzy, now on the floor, lay moments ago.

Ditzy and Rainbow both shared a look of mild embarrasment as they tried to regain their composures. Neither of the two could speak, still too shocked to converse like regular ponies.

Rainbow rolled off the couch as she extended a hoof to Ditzy. The grey mare latched onto it and managed to get to her hooves. Rainbow gave an embarrased look at Ditzy, blushing hotter than burning coals.

"I'm... umm... going home now." Stammered Dash. She was oddly quick in leaving Ditzy's house, not even a proper goodbye was given.

Ditzy cast an annoyed look at her daughter, not only had Dinky ruined a good time with Dash, she had probably scared her off for good.

"Dinky! Why would you do that! Mama got very scared!"

Dinky wiped a tear from her eye as she calmed down. She stopped giggling when she met her mom's disapproving stare.

"Sorry mama, when I came in I couldn't find you, but then I heard laughing in here." Dinky explained. "I thought it would be funny to surprise you so I did! Please don't be mad mama!"

Ditzy's heart melted at her little filly's apology. She couldn't stay mad at her, and pulled the young unicorn into a big hug, which was returned gratefully.

After a few minutes, Dinky spoke up.

"So who won that tickle fight anyway?"

Ditzy smiled at the innocence of her daughter as she released her from the hug. She grinned wickedly as she gently prodded a hoof into Dinky's ribs.

"No one, but I will now!"

Dinky shrieked in delight as her mom unleashed a barrage of ferocious tickles into her belly and ribs, cursing her ticklishness with each sharp intake of breath she took.
