Chapter I: Silent Night
"The Night is so quiet."
"Only because you're not listening, Dashie." Fluttershy nuzzled up against her marefriends' mane.
"The Night is as full of life as the Day. You just have to listen."
"So I've been told, yes." Rainbow Dash grinned. Fluttershy gently bumped her head.
"You should pay attention to your surroundings. You have to listen to the sounds, not just hear them! The moths flying, the wind gently swaying through the trees. You can't hear such beautiful things during the day." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. This was so not cool.
"Yeah, but the day has all the awesome things, like Cloud Racing!" Rainbow cuddled up to her lover.
"Cloud Racing… Do you remember?" she asked Fluttershy. Fluttershy blushed.
"Of course I remember. I could never forget that day! That's when I got my cutie mark!" Rainbow Dash looked at her, an expecting eyebrow raised.
"And?"
"And… the day I met you." Said Fluttershy.
"The most awesomest day of my life."
Fluttershy merely smiled and wrapped her hooves around Rainbow Dash.
"'Shy?" Asked Rainbow.
"Yes?"
"I'm gonna go inside. It's cold."
"Oh, okay. Are you alright? You could catch a cold!"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Just a bit chilly, is all."
"Want me to make you some hot soup? That works great against a cold!"
"No thanks. I'll just go check on Autumn & Winter and I'll go to bed."
"Oh, okay. I'll join you in a moment, I want to enjoy the peacefulness."
"Don't keep me waiting." Said Rainbow Dash with a mischievous grin.
"I won't. You go on ahead, I'll be right there." Rainbow Dash untied herself from her marefriends' embrace and walked inside. Fluttershy stared at Luna's night for a few more minutes and sighed.
"Oh Rainbow… Why can't you see the empty places inside of me?"
