Chapter2: Perfect
"Sigh". Fluttershy let out a satisfied breath, relaxing against the old oak tree.
The tree stood there, confident and mighty. It's leaves falling, graciously. The grass swaying in a unified motion.
But the most breathtaking part of it all, was the boy.
Standing there, with his perfect smile, his perfect hair, everything about him was, perfect.
The boy walked towards her.
His smile was growing.
And so was her's.
The boy then started to lay down next to her, and she instantly latched onto him.
They both layed there, against the old oak tree.
Under the graciously falling leaves.
On the unified swaying grass.
"Fluttershy", the boy whispered.
"Butterscotch", the girl whispered.
His arms around her waist, her arms around his neck, they started to lean forward.
They were getting closer, they could feel each other's breaths.
She was just about to kiss the most perfect boy in the world when…
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
"Ugh….what?" Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes, to see her alarm clock flashing, "8:00AM"
She then reached out to turn it off.
Really? Just when she was about to fulfill her dream?
Disappointed, she then got up to get her day started.
As she was getting up, she looked to her left and saw a giant stuffed bunny laying right next to her.
"Heh, the bunny Butters won for me at the fair." Fluttershy remembers that time vividly.
She remembers the determined look on his face to win her that bunny.
She thought it was so sweet and romantic.
Just another reason why she loved him so much.
She started to tear up a little bit, but shook it away.
She then looked at her phone to see if she missed any calls or texts.
There was in fact, 1 message, by Rainbow text read, "Hey! Just wondering if we're still hanging out later."
Shit! She had completely forgotten.
She then texted back, "Yeah of course."Right away she got an, almost instant reply.
Heh, guess she was always fast.
"Cool! See you then! *kiss* *kiss*"
Alright, time to get on with my day.
Canterlot Cafe, 11:30
The canterlot cafe, filled with people working, hanging out with friends or waiting to get their coffee. The cafe always brought in this really chill feeling to it, especially since it was a winter morning.
Jesus, it was cold.
"Everything ok?" Fluttershy snapped out of her trance to see rainbow dash looking at her with concern in her eyes.
"Huh? Oh, yeah everything is fine. I'm just thinking."
"Oh, that's cool. Well anyways, what's up? We haven't hung out in a while."
After high school, the girls were usually barely given the opportunity to hang out since their workload had stood in the way of it.
But they always tried.
And when they were given the opportunity, they would gladly take it. Today was a perfect example.
"Nothing much, the usual to be honest. You?"
"Not much on my end either."
They sat there, awkwardly. It's been awhile since they did something like this.
"How's things been with Blitz?"
Rainbow blitz, Rainbow dash's lover.
Fluttershy then watched as Rainbow dash started to blush and smile behind her cup as she started to look the other way. This made Fluttershy smile in return.
Gosh they were so cute.
"Things are ….good" Rainbow dash responded, still smiling. "Just good?" Fluttershy responded, smirking.
"...no"
"How are they then?"
"...magical." Rainbow dash whispered in a dreamy tone.
"Hm, I figured." Fluttershy smiled, satisfied with Rainbow dash's answer.
"So… how are things with Butterscotch?" Rainbow dash responded with her own little smirk.
Fluttershy's whole demeanor changed into one with sorrow and longing. She looked down at her cup, with loneliness in her eyes, Rainbow dash noticed this right away.
"Jesus, Fluttershy you still haven't told him?" Fluttershy surprisingly hadn't told the girls about her feelings, except for Rainbow dash of course.
Don't get it wrong, she loved the others dearly, they were like sisters to her. But the trust she had in Rainbow dash was unreal.
"I'm worried. I'm worried that he doesn't feel the same way." she started to get emotional again, Rainbow dash knew she had to calm her down.
"Hey! Hey! It's ok." Rainbow dash said in a soothing manner.
"Fluttershy, you have nothing to worry about, you're a total catch! Any boy would dream of having you!"
Fluttershy appreciated the kind remark, but in her eyes she wasn't. She was just a quiet and lonely little girl who was too scared to admit to the most perfect boy in the world that she likes him.
Fluttershy looked away, loneliness sprawled all over her face.
Rainbow dash was done playing games.
"You know what? No. Fluttershy, enough is enough. I think it's time you finally time you tell him." Rainbow dash spouted.
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked, a little put off by Rainbow dash's sudden outburst.
"Next week, Pinkie pie and Bubble berry are hosting a get together for all of us. That's when you confess."
"Next week?! Rainbow dash I don't think i'm ready-"
Rainbow dash cut her off, "No. no. no. Fluttershy don't give me any of that. You have been keeping this bottled up for so long now. I think you're way more than ready."
"But what if he rejects me?"
"Stop thinking like that! He won't. Trust me. You need to be optimistic about this."
"Right, optimistic. I need to be optimistic." Fluttershy whispered to herself.
"That's the spirit! We're gonna need a plan though. But don't worry! You got this!"
It was always great having a friend like her.
"Right, a plan. So, what is it?" Fluttershy asked, feeling much more confident knowing her friend was with her.
"Alright , here's what we do-" Rainbow dash got cut off when she looked at the time.
"Oh shit! Sorry Flutters, but i gotta go! We will pick this up tomorrow, cool?" Rainbow dash asked while grabbing her things.
"Huh? Oh yeah that's fine." Fluttershy then got up to hug her friend and say her goodbyes.
But Rainbow dash had one last thing to say.
"Oh and Fluttershy, remember that I will always have your back."
Fluttershy smiled at her friend, "Of course."
As Rainbow dash left, Fluttershy sat there, alone with her thoughts.
Fluttershy smiled to herself, feeling confident. "Next week is the day, next week is the day that I finally confess to, mister perfect."
