It was a warm, spring day in Ponyville, and everypony was enjoying themselves outside.

There were tons of couples spending their day together under the shining sun. Only a few clouds were in the sky; it was the perfect day to be with their special somepony. But inside a house that looked like a tree, there was a timid pony taking care of a squirrel who'd broken its leg. More than anything, she wanted to be outside enjoying the wonderful day with the pony she liked, but she was too scared of confessing her feelings because she was afraid of losing a friendship.

“There you go. Now promise me that you’ll be careful next time, okay?” Fluttershy said softly, “You can have these nuts for being such a great patient." The squirrel nodded and left. Fluttershy laid on her couch and emitted a sigh while Angel approached to her.

“Oh Angel, what I am going to do? I really want to tell her how I feel, but what if she rejects me? What if she starts hating me?”

Angel just looked at her. He wasn’t happy seeing her like this, but there wasn't anything he could do. Suddenly, there was a knock at the front door. Fluttershy trotted to it to see a familiar face greeting her.

“Hello, darling, I came to see how you're feeling.” Rarity’s expression showed concern.

“Oh, um… I'm fine, I guess…” Fluttershy kept her head down.

“You can’t hide your emotions; I can tell you're feeling down... I came to talk to you, so, can I come in?”

“Oh, sure... Sorry.” Fluttershy moved aside, letting her best friend in before closing the door behind her. Rarity sat on a chair by the table.

“Sit, Fluttershy. Let’s talk about this.”

“I… I don’t want to talk about it…” She said while blushing, but Rarity wasn’t going to give up that easily.

“We have to talk about this, Fluttershy! You can’t hide your feelings forever; you’ll have to tell her eventually.”

Fluttershy knew the persistence of her best friend; she wasn’t going to leave until she had what she wanted. Not convinced, the pegasus sat on a chair by the table with her head down. Rarity spoke first.

“Tell me, Fluttershy… Are you going to tell her?”

The yellow pony blushed harder. “I… I don’t know… I can barely stay standing when I’m with her, not to mention my voice. How am I supposed to tell her?” She let her head rest on the table. Rarity placed a hoof above her friend’s own, making Fluttershy look at her.

“Listen, Fluttershy, you must do it; she needs to know. What if she falls in love with somepony else? How do you think you'll feel?”

Fluttershy thought about it for a few minutes. It wouldn’t feel nice; she wouldn’t be able to stand those emotions, and she wouldn’t be able to blame her friend since she wouldn't know that she's hurting somepony she cares. It would be her fault. She wasn't sure how long she'd been thinking about it until Rarity called her.

“Fluttershy? Fluttershy!” The shy pony jumped from the sudden shout and almost fell from her chair, but Rarity grabbed her just in time.

“Sorry for scaring you, darling, but I thought I lost you.” Fluttershy breathed fast until she calmed down. “Are you okay? What were you thinking about?”

“I guess… I'd regret not telling her… But if I do… She might look at me differently…” Fluttershy looked into her friend’s eyes and said, in a slightly louder voice, “She might hate me…”

Rarity looked at her firmly and spoke with confidence, “Fluttershy, she wouldn’t do that! Even if she doesn’t feel the same way, she would still want to be your friend! We're talking about Twilight, remember? She cares about you!”

The Unicorn stood up without realizing it and was right next to Fluttershy, holding her hooves. Rarity was staring directly into her eyes, but Fluttershy wasn’t. She had a sad expression and was looking away from Rarity.

“Fluttershy, look at me.” The shy pony slowly looked at her.

“Promise me that from now on, you're going to try and tell her your feelings," Fluttershy opened her mouth to protest, but Rarity put her hoof on her mouth, “the more you wait, the more you hurt yourself. I don’t like to see you like this, and everypony is worried about you, darling… I came here because Twilight came to my boutique asking about you.” Rarity removed her hoof to let her friend talk.

“She… She did?”

“Of course she did. I told you that everypony was worried. She told me that you were acting strange lately. She wants you to be your old self again."

Fluttershy didn’t say anything for a few minutes; she was thinking. Everypony was worried about her, but most importantly, Twilight was worried about her. She was hurting the pony she cared most. She had to do something… Finally, she broke the silence.

“Okay,” she stood up, “I will tell her... I promise you that I will try my best!” Her voice was full of confidence. Rarity hadn't ever seen her this sure of herself and was so overcome with happiness that she couldn’t resist hugging her.
