Opposites Attract

Rainbow Dash was pacing in her bedroom. "I should just do it" she said to herself. "No, it wouldn't work out". She turned to the picture of her and her friends on her desk. "Okay, I have to." She took off out her window and headed to Fluttershy's house.

When she got there Fluttershy was feeding her chickens. Okay, just come out with it. Whats the worse that can happen? She landed and walked over to her quiet friend.

"Hey, Fluttershy" She said meekly.

"Oh, hello there Rainbow Dash" Fluttershy responded in her small voice "How are you today?"

"I really need to talk to you" Dash said, her voice shook a little

"Okay"

"just wanted to say-" she started but was cut off by Pinkie Pie

"Hey! You guys want some cupcakes?" She practically shouted. Dash glared at her but took a cupcake anyway, just to make her go away. Pinkie Pie pranced off to find some other ponies to eat her tasty treats (though they had a bit of a fleshy texture).

"As I was saying: Fluttershy, I-" But rainbow Dash was cut off again by Rarity.

"Oh , hello Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash" She said " Fluttershy, would you please take Opal to be groomed? I can't get anywhere near her."

"Sure Rare. No problem. I do love that kitty" Fluttershy said with a smile. Rainbow Dash's heart Skipped a little at the sight.

"Thank you very much" Said Rarity as she walked away to go get Opal.

"So, what were you saying" Fluttershy said turning her attention back to Rainbow Dash. She took a deep breath, but before she could get a word out the Cutie Mark Crusaders came running towards them.

"Fluttershy!" They a shouted in unison. At this point Rainbow Dash had had enough.

"I LIKE YOU" She shouted. After realizing what she had just said she blushed and flew back to her castle, leaving Fluttershy and the three fillies in shock. When she got back to her cloud castle she kicked a wall, leaving a hole where the cloud had disappeared. "God! What did I just do" She said and fell on her bed "I'm hopeless. She'll never like me now!"

Meanwhile Fluttershy was very confused. She had sent the little ponies home and finished feeding her chickens, but her mind was somewhere else. "Dash doesn't like me. That's ridiculous. She always gets mad at me and I'm so quiet. This just doesn't make sense." She couldn't get the thought out of her head. "And I couldn't possibly like her. We are just to different" But the more she thought about it the more it seemed kind of obvious. Dash was mad at her because she didn't want to believe it. They had always been good friends and had a bit of a special bond because they were both pegasi. "But what do I do now?" She was still unsure about the hole thing. " Oh, I know I'll ask Twilight. She'll know what to do" and with that she trotted off to Twilight Sparkle's house.

When she got there Twilight was reading. Books were scattered about the room.

"Hello Twilight." Fluttershy said, poking her head through the door.

"Hey, Flutter. Whats up?" Twilight responded with her usual perkiness.

"Um, I have a question to ask"

"Okay, shoot"

"Well what if some pony likes you and you kinda like them back but you're unsure about what to do?" Fluttershy blushed a little

"It's simple you go on a date."

"Um, okay. Well thanks"

"If you don't mind me asking, who are you talking about?" Twilight said with a gleam of curiosity in her eye.

"It's, um" Fluttershy didn't really want to answer "Rainbow Dash" She mumbled

"I'm sorry I didn't hear that" Twilight said, leaning in closer

"Rainbow Dash" She mumbled again, even quieter

"Come again?" Twilight said, a little confused

"It's Rainbow Dash,okay!" She finally said aloud. Twilight Sparkle was speechless. She just stood there with her jaw dropped. Fluttershy, feeling embarrassed now, said goodbye and left. She was still a little confused walking back to her cottage. "Maybe I should just talk to her. I mean what harm could it do" And with that she flew to Rainbow Dash's Cloud castle.

When she got there her stomach was doing back flips. She rung the doorbell and waited a little bit. She started to get a little jittery while she waited. After what seemed like an hour Rainbow Dash came to the door. When she opened it they just stood there for a minute, both blushing and nervous.

"Um, would you like to come inside?" Dash said finally. The two pegasi walked inside. "Look, About earlier. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I don't really know why I said that anyway"

"It's okay. I actually wanted to come here to-" But it was too late. Rainbow Dash was already in a full blown rant. Fluttershy couldn't get a word in.

"No, Dash I- Wait I wanted-" And before she realized what she was doing she grabbed Rainbow Dash and kissed her. It was only a small peck but when she pulled away they were both speechless.

Fluttershy blushed "I like you too."

"Uh, um, uh" was all Rainbow Dash could get out. after about a minute of silence Dash decided to break it by saying "So... you wanna go get something to eat?" Fluttershy smiled and nodded. Rainbow Dash kissed her on the cheek and they walked into Ponyville together.
