Fluttershy awoke slowly, opening her eyes to the morning light that filled the room through the window. It was a beautiful day, with birds chirping outside, making Fluttershy smile. The light reflected from the window onto the bedsheet, casting her and Blackberry in a comfortable glow.

She inhaled and relaxed when she saw Blackberry's hoof wrapped around Fluttershy's waist, nuzzling her side and smiling with comfort. Fluttershy felt warm and snug with Blackberry snuggling her, and yawned gently as Blackberry murmured, happy with her dream.

Fluttershy hated morning breath and wanted to get out of bed, but she couldn't do so without waking Blackberry.

She looked so heavenly asleep, making Fluttershy blush. She kissed her forehead and nudged her gently.

Blackberry awoke. "Mmm, what?" she asked.

Then her eyes widened.

"Good morning 'Berry..." said Fluttershy.

"H-Hi..."

Blackberry had a shy, nervous look on her face, and wouldn't meet Fluttershy's gaze.

"Something wrong?" asked Fluttershy.

"Uh..." asked Blackberry, "We didn't uh..."

Fluttershy's eyes widened. "O-Oh! N-No! You just slept in my bed, that's all."

Blackberry eased up. "Oh, okay."

"Yeah," said Fluttershy, "Nothing else happened."

Yet.

"Anything else happen?" asked Blackberry with a yawn.

Fluttershy figured she could finally tell Blackberry how she felt. It was now or never...

"You also said you loved me." said Fluttershy with a smile.

Blackberry's eyes widened again in shock and embarrassment. She couldn't say anything, and her voice was gone. All she could do was watch Fluttershy... innocently kiss her cheek.

"I love you too~" said Fluttershy with a smile.

Blackberry froze, then smiled and then grinned brightly, hugging Fluttershy.

"Y-You l-love me t-too?"

"Yes." she said hugging back.

Both felt about a thousand times better, having told the other their feelings. They smiled and hugged once more before Fluttershy spoke.

"Come on," she said nuzzling Blackberry's neck affectionately, "I'll make you breakfast~"

Blackberry smiled and followed Fluttershy downstairs, smiling widely.

She loves me too!


Vinyl Scratch walked into the Sugarcube Corner with a disheveled mane, eyes lidded in exhaustion. Her eyes were slightly bloodshot from having drunk too much punch at Blackberry's party.

She hobbled over to a nearby table and sat alone, burying her face in her hooves. She snored lightly as Pinkie Pie bounced down the stairs, a happy expression on her face.

She slowed down to a canter as she approached the snoozing mare, still very messy and very very sticky.

"V. You okay, V?" said Pinkie.

Vinyl Scratch brought her head up, staring into Pinkie's eyes and mumbling something incomprehensible.

Pinkie Pie giggled. "Rough night?"

"Crazy is more like it," said Vinyl, "I'm so tired..."

"What, did you wake up with Octavia or something?"

Vinyl yawned loudly, stretching. "Carrot Top."

Pinkie arched an eyebrow. "That's a new one."

"Huh? Whatever, can I just have some coffee?" She hit the table with a tired thump. "Ugh... make it a double."

Pinkie returned with Vinyl's coffee, who took it and drank, letting the hot drink warm her throat and body.

She sighed in content. "Thanks, Pinks."

"Wow, what a sunny day outside!"

"Yeah... hey, how was your night?"

"Mm, you could say it went a bit too fast..." she said with a sly smile as Rainbow Dash flew up beside her and smooched her cheek, making Pinkie giggle and Vinyl almost spill her precious coffee.

"You two are a thing now?" she asked in shock. "Whoa."

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie shared another kiss. "I have a feeling we're not the only new Ponyville couple." said Pinkie.

"Oh no," said Vinyl raising a hoof in defense, "What happened between me and Carrot Top was strictly physical."

She glanced up, remembering the night before. "Very physical..."

"Not you," said Pinkie, "Blackberry and Fluttershy."

"Ah." said Vinyl as she drank more coffee. "Mmmm..."


Fluttershy and Blackberry nuzzled each other after finishing breakfast. They sat out in the front yard and watched the animals.

"I'm glad you love me." said Fluttershy with a smile.

"I'm glad you love me too." said Blackberry blushing.

Both were happy and content with the situation, loving each other's embrace. The sun was up, but it wasn't too bright. Just a warm comfortable temperature. Blackberry kissed Fluttershy's cheek, making her blush. She was going to enjoy spending time with her.

"Hey Fluttershy."

"Yes?" she answered with a smile.

"Does this mean you're my marefriend, or I'm your marefriend?"

Fluttershy giggled and snuggled Blackberry more. She rested her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes, humming. The two remained outside until they decided to be with friends.

Fluttershy entered the cottage when she passed by the garbage can and saw Blackberry's old hat and cape.

"Blackberry," said Fluttershy with concern, "You're throwing away your old outfit? Why?"

Blackberry looked up. "It reminds me too much of Trixie. I'm Blackberry now." she said firmly.

Fluttershy wasn't too sure of this. "Do you really need to throw it away?"

"Yes."

Fluttershy sighed. "Okay..."

Blackberry smiled reassuringly. "I won't need it anymore."

Fluttershy smiled back. "Let's go see the others."


The two caught up to their friends, who were all waiting at the Sugarcube Corner. They were seated at a large circular table.

Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, Vinyl, and now Fluttershy and Blackberry.

They were all quiet until Mrs. Cake returned with pastries and snacks. Vinyl, Applejack and Pinkie Pie already digging in.

"Quite a night last night." said Twilight.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash glanced at each other, blushing. Blackberry looked at Fluttershy and smiled.

"Many more to come." said Fluttershy.
