Short Explanation: In my stories the characters from MLP are not ponies. I write about them as kind of 'magic humans', they have human bodies, no cutiemarks, but pegasi have wings and unicorns have their horns. All of them have a normal human skintone (not like it's in the Equestria Girls movies). If you don't like that imagination, ignore it, create your own or don't read, okay? Thank you.

Too, it's a fanfiction – that means that in that case the characters might be a bit different to the characters in the show. Of course I want to write them as believable as possible but it may happen!

Also: I have to admit that english is NOT my native language. If there are grammatical mistakes I am really sorry, I will work on it. I hope the story is still readable – it's an exercise for me to write in english.


Maybe you like it. :)

Here we go~


Chapter One: Applewine

'Just try it one time' the voices still remained in her ears. 'How do you want to know if you don't like it – if you never try'. 'Come on, don't be such a coward!'.

Inside her head was a total mess and a swirl out of all the voices of her friends and colorful bubbles. Fluttershy swore to herself in a clear moment to never even take a look at something alcoholic ever again.

Applewine-celebration… of course everyone wanted to celebrate the end oft he yearly applewine-production together with Applejack and her family, but for some reason it never got out of hand as much as this time.

Nearly the whole village had been present at Sweet Apple Acres and had celebrated the day, and later the night, copiously. Of course with a huge consumption of the promoted drink.

AJ, a little tipsy herself, had insisted that absolutely everyone should try it, because this time they had used a new recipe. Pinkie of course had been very excited of course very early and had started to dance on tables – not that anyone would have expected anything else from her. But it seemed that because of the raised blood-alcohol everyone had been carried along more than normally.

Even Twilight and Rarity had been way more frisky than usual.

Fluttershy had found all of that very nice indeed, because everyone seemed to have fun, but she had not trusted that pretty golden glimmering fluid herself…

She would have liked casual juice a lot more. But at one point during the evening Pinkie and Rainbow Dash did manage to make her drink one cup of it.

One had lead to the second, the second to the third – and then the moment had come in which she was as lived up as everyone else and danced around. Yes, her, Fluttershy, was dancing.

Her clumsiness though had also raised through the enjoyment of drinking the wine, and so the inevitable had happened.

She had tripped, bumped into a table and had then lain on the floor without any orientation.

Until Rainbow had bended over her, as she remembered now.

As Fluttershy hadn't been able to answer immediately, she had pulled her up, and as she had realized that the girl couldn't stand alone, she had lifted her up, carried her in her arms and left the party.

Fluttershy did fall asleep in these arms; at least she thought to remember something like that.

And now it still felt like everything was spinning around her. Carefully she tried to open her eyes.

It wasn't completely dark inside the room, the stars and the moon shined through the window – somehow they seemed to be closer than usual. Fluttershy realized that the contours around her didn't look like her own home. At once, her heart started to beat faster.

Where was she? What should she do now?

Very slowly she sat up and pulled the blanket – she just realized that she was lying in a bed – up to her nose. Everything inside that room was somehow round and had soft corners, like… clouds?! Now she could see where she was. It was Rainbow Dash's sleeping room.

Fluttershy took a deep breath of relief and let the blanket down a bit. She blinked a few times to fight the dizzyness she still felt and then shookher head slowly. Applewine – never again! She was sure about that.

Still one question remained. Why did Rainbow bring her to her place? And where was she? Fluttershy thought that maybe the other pegasus-girl returned to the party. She surely must have had a lot of fun there… and she had to leave just because of her. Immediately she started to feel guilty.

"Hey, you're awake." Fluttershy winced a little. "Uhm, yes… I am sorry that you had to take me away from there…" She looked at the door. Rainbow Dash was resting her back at the door frame, her colorful hair casually tied into a ponytail and wearing a slightly lend out top and shorts. The light blue wings were half folded and she held an open can of cherry juice in her hand, from which she just took a sip.

"No problem, I've had enough of that kindergarden anyway… Rarity started to strip right before we left, and at least this way I can escape that drama tomorrow by saying that I have to take care of you…"

She stretched her back a little and yawned, then put the can at a shelf right besides her. A lot of CDs were laying there in a total disarrangement. She then walked through the room in the direction of the bed.

Fluttershy gulped when she thought of Rarity and how bad the unicorn-girl would feel the next day.

"Are you feeling better by the way, or are you still as ditsy as before?" Rainbow bent over her a little and looked into Fluttershy's face sceptically. "W- why? What happened actually?" asked the rosy haired girl and blushed a little in embarrassment. She hoped that she wasn't acting too weird.

"Well, you, as not to expect otherwise, fell and bumped into a table… looked very funny." Rainbow chuckled a little and smirked at her. "You should notice – or no headache?" She raised her hand and poked against Fluttershy's forehead. Immediately a sharp pain flashed through her head. "Ouch…" She mumbled and touched that place herself. A patch stuck there.

"Aw, sorry, I totally forgot that you are such a sissy." Rainbow smirked again and straightened up again. "And now move, I want to sleep." Fluttershy looked at the blanket. She always thought it was mean if Rainbow Dash called her something like that, but had to admit that she was somehow right actually…

She moved a bit closer to the wall. "I- I can go home as well…" "Nah, you'll probably run into a tree or something like that on the way. The bed is big enough, you can stay for the night." Rainbow yawned one more time, lifted the blanket and climbed onto the soft matress.

Fluttershy realized that she only wore her shirt and her underwear, similar to the other girl, and started to feel a little more uncomfortable instantly. Not because of her, she always felt safe in her best friend's presence.

But she hoped that Rainbow didn't just pretend that the situation didn't matter to her and was actually bugged by her wasting space here.

"Don't take the whole blanket, Fluttershy!" "Oh… I'm sorry." Fluttershy let go of the blanket she had been holding very tightly without noticing. Rainbow snuggled herself into the pillows besides her.

Fluttershy thought of all the years she knew the other girl now. Strange – she never slept over here since they both were kids.

"Maybe the applewine wasn't that bad for you." Rainbow said with a third yawn. "How… what do you mean by that, Rainbow?" "You weren't as stiff and tense as you usually are every day. But well, that won't change, I guess. That's just you." The girl with the rainbow colored hair turned around and pulled her part of the blanket over herself.

Fluttershy was laying down into the pillows again, too. In the darkness she could only see the contours of Rainbow's shoulders, who was laying with the back to her now. Sometimes… no, actually very often she wished that she wouldn't be the way she was… but rather more like someone who would be accepted and taken serious by Rainbow.

Actually Fluttershy was the older one, but next to Rainbow she always looked like… actually like nothing. It wasn't surprising that Rainbow would always just see her as the frightened little kid someone had to take care of or had to defend.

Without realizing it, she sighed and closed her eyes. A heavy movement on the mattress made her open her eyes again. Rainbow turned over to her. "What's the matter, Fluttershy?" Fluttershy looked directly into big, suspicious looking eyes, of which she knew that they were a deep pink color, and which even in the dark seemed to glow a little.

And exactly those eyes were now only centimeters away from her. "Uhm… nothing?" "Why are you sighing then? Still headache?" "No…" "Tell me if something is wrong, okay?" "O- okay, Rainbow…"

Rainbow leaned her head a little to the left, seemed to think for a second, then raised her arm and placed it around Fluttershy's shoulders. That one was way to suprised about that to react and let the other girl pull her slightly to her. "Good night." "…good night…" mumbled the rosay-haired girl and felt her face turning a little red, which was luckily not visible due to the lighting conditions.

She sensed Rainbows body close beside her, the warmth of it reached her. Some of the feathers of the light blue wings touched her softly and she realized that she got slight goose bumbs. Rainbows hairtips tickled her neck a little. Fluttershy was afraid to even breathe. Her headache stopped completely, but instead her stomach started to feel strange. Somehow tingly.

She didn't know how much time they spent in this position, so close to each other…

"You're not asleep yet, aren't you?"

Fluttershy gulped. "…no…" Again Rainbow Dash moved so quick that Fluttershy didn't realize what she did until she was half above her, the hands placed left and right besides her face into the soft pillows.

"Do you have a problem with me lately, Shy?" she asked with an angry undertone. Fluttershy would have liked to hide behind something, but in that situation it was not possible. She started to shake a little.

"No... w- why do you think that, Dash..?" "Well, you know, you get completely stiff if I touch you in any way, you start to shake if I get close to you… Or would you say that's normal, huh? For me it looks more like you don't like me being around you. And now were're not kids anymore, you don't have to be nice all the time, and you know me well enough to not be afraid. So you can tell me, you know?!"

Why did she get it so wrong… Fluttershys eyes started to fill with tears. How should she explain that it wasn't as it seemed to the other girl? Of course she liked her presence. Maybe more than the presence of any other person. And exactly because oft hat she was so afraid that Dash would still think of her as… yes, as she said before, a 'sissy'. And obviously she did.

So how should she explain it that way when it was a fact that she actually was afraid? She would just confirm that picture of herself. In that situation it was hard for her to even speak a single word.

"N- no, it's not like that…" She finally wispered. "How is it then? What's your problem?" Rainbows breath touched Fluttershy's face gently. The lend out top she wore slipped off her shoulder. The naked skin of her arm touched Fluttershy's skin where her shirt had slid up a bit when she laid down before.

"I- I…" What was she about to say actually? She didn't know herself. She only knew that she liked to be with Rainbow… that she felt bad when she couldn't be around her, felt alone and sad. And that she wasn't able in any case to catch a clear thought in that kind of situation.

"Yes? What?" Rainbows voice sounded more and more angry. She had always been impatient, that never changed. And when facing Fluttershy she always got aggressive very fast… It was the rosy haired girl's insecurity and her fear of everything that she did not understand, and that made her furious.

Fluttershy noticed how one tear escaped her eye. Why couldn't she have only half of the self-confidence as normal people had? She hated being afraid.

"Are you blubbering?" An irritated sigh. "I didn't do anything to you, did I?" "B- but…" "Forget it… it's okay, you can sleep on the couch or anywhere, if…" Rainbow sat up and turned away from her. "…if it bothers you that much to sleep in the same bed as me."

Fluttershy wasn't totally aware of what she was doing, as she sat up too, raised her arms and hugged the other girl from behind. "No… I… it doesn't bother me. I- I like to be near y- you…" She pressed her face on Rainbows shoulder, hid it between the colorful wisps of hair. "…please… don't be mad at me…" For a moment, Rainbow sat still, then she turned around and grabbed Fluttershy's wrists. "What… should I think about that, now?"

The anger had nearly disappeared completely out of her voice. Fluttershy respired relieved. She looked down and searched for a little bit courage. "I… I just want you to know, that I… I like you, and…" she started and stopped then. "And?" Again Rainbow looked at her with the head leaned a bit left. "And… I don't want to be where you are not…" Fluttershy's voice got lower and then she stopped. She didn't know how to phrase it in any other way.

"So… it's not that you don't like me anymore, but… you do like me? A lot?" Relieved, Fluttershy nodded immediately. "I-" But she got interrupted. Rainbow Dash turned to her, bend over with that swiftness only she possessed in everything she did and let her lips touch the lips of the other girl.

It was quiet in the bedroom. Fluttershy didn't know if seconds or hours passed. She felt the warmth of Rainbows lips. Like paralyzed she sat on the bed, while her best friend, was still … kissing… her…
