Chapter One: A Brewing Storm

"Ah, no, that simply won't do!" Rarity scolded herself as she fiddled with the rubies on her creation. "Hm, maybe like this...? Little more to the left- wait go back...! There!" The mare took a step back to admire her work. "Ah, it is absolutely perfect! Fit for a princess!"

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Oh, just who could that be?" The well-spent pony made her way downstairs and opened the door. "Oh, why hello, Rainbow Dash! To what do I owe this... pleasure?"

"There's a big storm being set up, and a few ponies are sick, so I have to do extra work. Can you go around and tell others?" Rainbow spoke hastily, trying to wrap up this conversation, hopefully without argument.

"Me? Why me?"

"Well, during these storms, I'm always with Fluttershy, but I won't be able to comfort her tonight, and you're the only other pony I trust." Of course, Rarity thought. Fluttershy, being often scared by her own shadow, was bound to be terrified of thunderstorms. "Will you please help her?"

"But of course, darling! Why, I would never let Fluttershy down!"

"Great, THANKS!" Rainbow yelled as she flew in a hurry back to the weather team.

Rarity made sure to not skip a single house. She told everypony in sight of the coming storm, and saved the most important house for last:

Fluttershy's.

With a loud, yet elegant, knock on the door, it slowly opens to reveal the pink-maned pegasus that Rarity had longed to see all night. "Oh, hello Rarity, what brings you here?"

"Rainbow Dash has asked me to tell everypony about the storm they're raising." Fluttershy gulped, her eyes widening.

"A s-s-storm?" Fluttershy began to look up at the sky, noticing the weather team, and Rainbow Dash, moving the storm clouds in place.

"Fluttershy," Rarity began, trying consciously to keep her voice down. "Rainbow Dash can't make it tonight. And we all know how sensitive you are, would you like my company?"

Without saying a word, and with her eyes tightly closed, the pegasus nodded, inviting the unicorn inside her house. The sky quickly began to darken and rain began to fall on Ponyville.

*CRACK*

Rarity heard Fluttershy scream as she bolted into her bed, covering herself from head to hoof in her blanket and visibly shaking. "Fluttershy, darling," Rarity cooed, slowly peeling the blanket from her yellow-coated friend. The fashionista carefully stroked Fluttershy's mane. "I'm here. You have nothing to fear."

"R-Rarity..."

*CRACK*

"P-Please hold me...!" Rarity slowly climbed into Fluttershy's bed and placed a hoof around her, still gently stroking her mane.

"I don't know how Rainbow Dash normally goes about this, but I can assure you that I won't leave hoofs reach, sweetie." Fluttershy turned to face the unicorn, tears dripping down her cheeks. Rarity brought a hoof to the pegasus' face and carefully wiped them away. She closed her eyes and nuzzled Fluttershy, rubbing her back. "We should try to get in some sleep, Fluttershy."

*CRACK*

Fluttershy jumped. "... R-Rarity?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"T-Thank you..." Fluttershy muttered, nuzzling into her best friends neck.

"It's quite alright... darling..." Both Rarity and Fluttershy drifted to sleep. Rarity dreamed of Fluttershy that night. Fluttershy dreamed of Rarity.

It had been a week after that night. Rarity hadn't spoken with Fluttershy all that much after they spent the night together, but there was one thing the unicorn had noticed recently.

Rarity, on occasions, would catch Fluttershy staring at her. Quite intently, as well. The alarm clock beside Rarity's bed went off and she rose to her feet to begin another shiny day in Ponyville.

It began like any other day, she ate a breakfast consisting of leftovers from her dinner last night. She crafted a simple, yet elegant dress for her newest client, but that's where the clockwork routine ended.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"A client, perhaps?" Rarity muttered to herself. "But I'm not open right now..." She opened the front door to see a pink Earth pony smiling at her.

"Good morning, Rarity!" Pinkie Pie kept going, not giving a chance for Rarity to interlude. "We're all having lunch at Twilight's today, she said Fluttershy has something awfully important to tell all of us! Maybe she needs help with something? Oh! I bet she finally got a coltfriend!" With the last word uttered, Rarity strangely felt a slight pain in her chest as if she didn't like that idea. "Anyway I'll see you later, Rarity!" Pinkie Pie yelled, literally skipping back to Sugarcube Corner.

"Hm, I wonder what it is that's so important? Maybe she did find a... a coltfriend." Rarity found herself feeling strangely saddened when she envisioned Fluttershy with a colt. Why? Why was she having all of these thoughts? The unicorn found herself unable to concentrate for the rest of the morning. She, instead, simply waited for lunch time and began slowly walking to Twilight Sparkle's house. She knocked on the front door and was greeted by the younger unicorn.

"C'mon in, Rarity. Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash are already here." Rarity entered Twilight's house and took a seat next to Fluttershy, without uttering a word. Shortly after, about five minutes later, Applejack arrived and took her seat.

"Alright y'all, let's start this party!"

"Party? No one told me this was a party! I could've brought streamers and cupcakes and balloons and cupcakes and cup-"

"Pinkie, please calm down." Pinkie Pie shushed herself after being pleaded by Rainbow Dash.

"Fluttershy, if you would?" Twilight asked.

"Right." Fluttershy looked around nervously, stealing a few glances at Rarity. "I, um, have something I need to tell you guys. Something I, um, have never told anypony before." Everyone in the room remained silent, staring expectantly at Fluttershy. "I... I'm a... a..." She sighed. "I'm a fillyfooler."

Jaws dropped around the room. All except for Rarity's. The unicorn hastily wrapped her best friend in a tight hug. "Oh Fluttershy, I'm so glad you're being open about this! I'm so proud of you!"

"Hehe, thank you Rarity."

"So, Fluttershy," Twilight finally broke the awkwardness. "How long have you known you were a... a fillyfooler?" Twilight uttered the last word carefully, as if she was treading on thin ice.

"Well, I've always found mares to be more interesting than colts but it wasn't until recently that I knew for sure." Fluttershy dared not look any of her friends in the eye, fearing their judgement.

"And what happened to make you realise somethin' like that?" Applejack asked.

"Well, I... I fell for a mare..."

Eyes darted around the room throughout the whole afternoon. Lunch was eaten in silence, and not one pony dared to ask about the mare that Fluttershy had fallen for. Everypony eventually departed from Twilight's little get-together, and Fluttershy insisted upon staying to help clean up.

"So, Fluttershy, who's the lucky mare?" Fluttershy's cheeks instantly turned bright red.

"I... I-I'd rather not say right now." The pegasus kept her eyes down, not wanting to look at Twilight.

"Oh, c'mon, you know I won't tell anypony."

"Well, she's very kind, talented, smart, supportive, she's very understanding. She's comforting, sophisticated and very, very beautiful." Twilight could see the red of Fluttershy's cheeks and the giddy smile that was washing over her face as the pegasus continued to look down.

"Most of all, she's just the sweetest pony I've ever met, and she means a lot to me, Twilight."

"Well, when you're ready to give me a name, go ahead, but I won't pester you."

"Thank you."

Fluttershy dreamt of her dream mare that night. Rarity couldn't sleep at all.

A/N: This turned out to be a lot more in-depth than I first had planned... Hey guys. How did you feel about this? Feel free to drop me a review. Now, this is my first fanfiction, so go easy on me. Give me a nice, warm welcome! Also, I hope it's obvious who Fluttershy likes, but if it isn't, I won't spoil it here.

I have completed a few more chapters as I write this, and I will be updating once or twice a week, I'm not entirely sure.
