Equestria Girls: The Element of Hope

Chapter 1

Couples and Ships

A new day dawned for the students of Canterlot High. And those that had attended the Everfree Camp were glad to be back to the semi normalcy of Canterlot High. Sunset Shimmer stepped up to the school courtyard in search of her friends and saw them at their usual spot by the school statue. Sunset walked over and settled herself next to her girlfriend Twilight Sparkle.

"Hey girls," Sunset said as she set her bag down before kissing Twilight on the cheek. The two had gotten together shortly after getting home from camp.

"Hi Sunset, How are you," Twilight asked blushing from the kiss.

"Good as I can be. How was the rest of your break Flutters Pinkie?"

"Oh it was lovely," Fluttershy said as she glanced at Pinkie and blushed looking away quickly. The look was not missed by either Twilight or Sunset.

"So when did this happen," Twilight asked the two. Pinkie Pie smiled happily at Fluttershy before speaking.

"This morning, I told her how I felt and she felt the same," Pinkie Pie spoke almost too fast for the others to understand.

"She was very sweet with how she sat me down and made sure I was comfortable before she started confessing. She made sure I wouldn't faint from shock or get scared off," Fluttershy said in her soft lilting voice. The two pink haired girls cuddled closer as they watched the other couples reaction.

"Good for you girls. I'm really happy for you. Now if only Applejack could find a partner we'd be set," Twilight said as the aforementioned girl came up.

"What do I need to find," the country girl asked as she sat next to the new couple.

"A partner."

"For what?"

"Well, a variety of things affection and care. Oh and pro-" Sunset slapped her hand over her girlfriend's mouth before she could continue.

"What Twilight is trying to say is we want you to find happiness the way we have."

"Now y'all are sounding like Rarity with her relationship advice. But what about those two they don't have no special someone." Applejack gestured to the two cuddled pink haired girls.

"Actually we have each other... Just this morning Pinkie confessed her feelings to me and I returned them..." Fluttershy told her.

"Well I'll be. Congratulations you two. But just cause I'm the only single girl in the group don't mean ya all have to start settin' me up. I'll find the one I'm meant to be with when I'm ready to find 'em. Got it."

"We didn't mean to put pressure on you AJ," Twilight told her.

"It's alright I know you didn't mean any harm." Pinkie Pie gasped happily and flailed her hands a little.

"We need a ship name," She exclaimed happily.

"Ship name," Fluttershy asked.

"Yes! Like Sunset and Twilight."

"Did you know we had a ship name," Sunset asked her girlfriend.

"Nope. I wonder what it is," Twilight asked.

"Sunlight duh," Pinkie told them as she started tapping her chin in thought. "Think...Think... Ah I got it! FlutterPie! No. Pinkieshy! Yes it's perfect!" Pinkie
Pie bounced a little in her seat from her and her girlfriends new ship name.

"Does she have a ship name for all the couples?"

"Yep! Like Rainbow Dash and Rarity is Raridash. And Equestria Twilight and Flash was Flashlight. And Twilight and Timber were Timberlight." As Pinkie Pie was explaining couple ship names the last two of their group came up from the soccer fields.

"Hey girls, so what's Pinkie going off about now," Rainbow Dash asked as she sat next to her girlfriend of two months, Rarity.

"Yes what has her so worked up Darlings," Rarity asked as Pinkie kept going about the ship names of students in the school.

"Ship names. Yours is Raridash," Twilight told them.

"Okay then. So we saw you and Pinkie Pie earlier this morning what was going on there?" Rarity faced a flushed Fluttershy as the fashion forward girl smiled at half of the latest couple in Canterlot High.

"Well... you see... Pinkie and I are together," Fluttershy said in a rush as she ducked slightly behind her new girlfriend.

"Oh Darling, that's absolutely wonderful!"

"Yeah, wait to go Flutters," Rainbow Dash said as she softly punched Fluttershy's arm. "And as your oldest friend I'll give Pinkie the overprotective big sibling talk," As Rainbow spoke Pinkie Pie turned her attention to the rainbow haired athlete happily.

"Give it your best shot! I'll never leave Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie threw herself behind her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around her.

"You better not. Or else you have me to answer too." Rainbow Dash said in a fake threatening voice as she pulled Pinkie Pie away from Fluttershy.

"No. Please have mercy. I promise to treat your oldest friend the way she deserves." Pinkie threw herself at Rainbow Dash's lap and ended up hitting Rainbow's knee in the process.

"Ow!"

"Whoops sorry Rainbow Dash."

"Man you've a hard head." Rainbow rubbed her knee gently once Pinkie got up and sat back down. Fluttershy took a bruise paste and bandage out of her bag and applied both to Rainbow's knee. Once she was done the school bell rang signaling the fifteen minutes before classes start.
