THESE TWO HEARTS

Chapter Eight: A Dazzling Effect
"Are you and Steamer official, or what?" Gusty asked Fizzy as they made their beds.
"Official?" Fizzy asked, not sure what Gusty mean by it.
"An official couple," Gusty explained. "You two have been flirting like crazy lately. I was just wondering if there was something to it."
"Steamer and I are just friends," Fizzy assured, a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"Oh, you're at that stage," Gusty said as she headed out of the room.
What stage? Fizzy quickly squared off her corner, then ran off Gusty.
"What do you mean?" Fizzy queried.
"You and Steamer," Gusty began as she continued down the hallway. "You're in that stage where you're both too afraid to say you feel more than friendship, though you both would rather be couple."
"What makes you say that?" Fizzy asked, looking down to try to hide her blush.
"Come on, Fizzy," Gusty rolled her eyes. "You both have shown enough public proof that you like each other. Why don't you just come out and admit it instead of acting so coy."
Fizzy stopped walking and bit her lip. Gusty stopped and turned to her.
"So what if I do feel more than friendship," Fizzy began nervously, "what do I do about it?"
"You should know what to do," Gusty told her.
Fizzy glanced up at the unicorn, saying, "But what if he doesn't feel the same?"
"You'll never know until you try," Gusty advised.
Tears came to Fizzy's eyes as she muttered, "I'd rather remain just friends then lose him."
"You have it bad, don't you?" Gusty observed with a smile.
Fizzy shrugged, wiping the tears away.
"I have to go find Buttons," Fizzy said quietly.
"She's probably at the new house," Gusty told her. "But I'd look for Steamer if I was you."
Fizzy half-smiled, the winked out. The second she reappeared, Fizzy found herself nose to nose with Steamer. She instantly backed off, blushing like crazy.
"I'm sorry," Fizzy insisted.
"No big deal," Steamer shrugged, smiling. "Come to see Buttons?"
Fizzy nodded.
"I was just about to give Slugger a visit," Steamer told her. "I guess we could go in together."
Fizzy shrugged and led the way to the door. She tapped her hoof on the door. Soon enough, Slugger answered.
"Hey, you two," he greeted with a smile. "Are you two inseparable or something?"
"No," Fizzy insisted. "It was completely coincidence that we came at the same time."
Steamer just shrugged.
"OK," Slugger muttered, "come on in."
Fizzy waited for Steamer to go in first, but he was waiting for her. Finally, she went in. Why were they so awkward? Was it just what Gusty was talking about that made Fizzy so apprehensions around Steamer?
Buttons stood in the living-room. Her face lit up when she saw the new arrivals.
"Fizzy, Steamer, hey," Buttons greeted.
She galloped over to Fizzy and rubbed her unicorn horn against Fizzy's.
"Where's the little nook?" Steamer asked, glancing around the room.
"She's with Tex and Score in the other room," Slugger told them.
"You left her with THEM?" Fizzy demanded.
"They're fine," Buttons insisted.
"I'm going to check," Fizzy declared as she started toward the door to the other room.
"I'll come with you," Steamer offered, following her.
Fizzy pushed open the door with her nose and was flabbergasted at the sight. Tex and Score, rears to Fizzy, were dancing about in bibs, trying to get little Dazzle to laugh. She just sat on the floor and stared at them.
"What...in the..world...?" Steamer laughed.
Score and Tex turned to them and got all embarrassed. Score tore off his bib.
"What's your problem?" Score demanded of Steamer.
"Nothing," Steamer said, trying to keep from smiling.
"Come on, Tex," Score ordered. "We have better things to do than hang out here."
"Ah, Score," Tex whined. "I wanted to banter for the baby some more."
"We're leaving, Tex," Score told him.
Tex reluctantly followed Score out of the room.
"That's one thing I was sure I would never see," Fizzy muttered.
Steamer just laughed.
Fizzy sat down next to little Dazzle. The baby bounced on her bottom a bit, then grabbed for a toy. Fizzy ran her hoof over Dazzle's white hair.
"She's going to be a heartbreaker when she grows up," Fizzy said as she watched Dazzle chew on her toy.
"It's the eyes," Steamer insisted, standing on the opposite side of the baby as Fizzy.
"Yes, they are pretty, aren't they?" Fizzy agreed, looking at Dazzle's sparkling pink eyes.
"They sure are."
Something about the way he said this compelled Fizzy look up. When she did, she saw that Steamer wasn't looking at Dazzle's eyes at all, but at Fizzy's. She felt this strange shiver, so she looked away. Dazzle fell on to all fours and walked over to a shelf of books. She took down one and started chewing on the pages.
"Dazzle!" Fizzy exclaimed, taking the book from her. "We don't chew on books. We read them. See these words."
Dazzle seemed disinterested with reading. She crawled away to find something else to chew on.
"I guess she's not much of a reader," Steamer said with a smile.
"Well, she was chewing on 'Hero Crocker and the Medal of Magic'," Fizzy informed. "It's a classic. She has good taste."
Steamer laughed.
A/N: Did you get the Hero Crocker thing? He supposed to be the My Little Pony version of Harry Potter. I had to put him in there somewhere. Maybe I should write a story based on him. He he! Anyway, here are the names I made up for the rest of the books.
I. Hero Crocker and the Medal of Magic
II. Hero Crocker and the Mysterious Cavern
III. Hero Crocker and the Captive of Zapzyzm
VI. Hero Crocker and the Blazing Chalice
V. Hero Crocker and the Fellowship of the Leviathan
A/N2: This chapter was basically pointless, huh? I'm having a little writer's block problem.
A/N: Oh, a new reviewer. I hope you like, Fire Falcon.
