Chapter Eight: Dates to remember.
Apple-Jack was gone with her date with Rainbow-Dash. Now it was Rarity's turn to get dressed. She quickly headed back upstairs of her boutique and pulled back a curtain that revealed a white, diamond encrusted dress. It was see through and you could still see her entire body, but it was laced with purple making her mane and tail pop out more. The diamonds mixed in with her cutie mark making it sparkle. Rarity added the finishing touch by adding the tiara to the top of her head. She heard a knock at the door and the voice of Spike, "You ready lady Rarity?"
"Why yes Spike, lead the way." Rarity smiled at the little dragon.
Rarity followed Spike out of her boutique. Spikes tail wagging happily as he finally got a date with his crush.
Meanwhile With Flutter-Shy:
"Flutter-Shy... say goodbye too all your animals at once, not each individually..." Luna sighed in slight frustration and also anticipation for their date.
"But... I don't want them feeling left out!" Flutter-Shy said in a hushed tone.
"Look, there not even paying attention, let's go!" Luna frowned.
"Ok ok..." Flutter-Shy replied laying down some hamsters onto the floor before she turned to angel, "You're in charge while I'm gone."
Angel grabbed a carrot and saluted Flutter-Shy before walking back and forth like a soldier would. Luna walked toward the door, looking back to see if Flutter-Shy would follow. Flutter-Shy kept looking back at her animals as they left the cottage. As soon as the cottage was out of sight, a small faint music could be heard. Flutter-Shy's cottage was booming with strob lights and loud party music as Angel started to party with the other small animals.
"What if one of them get sick?" Flutter-Shy lowered her head.
"Then Angel will come and get us, Don't worry Flutter-Shy." Luna nuzzled Flutter-Shy's cheek.
"Ok..." Flutter-Shy looked back one more time even though all she could see was trees and the road.
They had heard about Pinkie-Pie holding a couples night at the Sugarcube corner. It came into view and approached the door. Right as the reached the door, they were shocked at who all they seen. Apple-Jack and Rainbow-Dash were accompanying each other. Then following behind them were Rarity and Spike. Approaching behind Luna and Flutter-Shy was the shocking of all, Twilight-Sparkle and Princess Celestia. Every-pony's head jerked at the shocking unsuspected couple. They kept quiet trying not to offend. Every-pony went inside Sugarcube corner to see Pinkie-Pie and Big Macintosh.
"Big... Macintosh...?" Apple-Jack swallowed in shock, "Are you... mates with Pinkie... Pie?"
"Eyup!" Big Macintosh stated in his usually deep voice.
Apple-Jack blinked twice at the shock of the unusual pair. Pinkie-Pie loud and obnoxious with the quiet shy and strong Big Macintosh. Apple-Jack tried to shake it off as she turned to Rainbow-Dash, "I'm... going to get some punch..."
Rainbow nodded as she took a seat at one of the pink tables.
"Luna, I'm glad to see yourself growing so close to another." Celestia complimented.
"Thank you big sister!" Luna smiled rubbing her side up against the blushing Flutter-Shy, "And I see you've grown quiet close to some-pony also."
Luna winked at her sister and grinned at Twilight. Which made Twilight blush furiously.
Twilight backed away slowly as she stated, "Excuse me princess."
Twilight turned and darted toward the filly's rest room using magic to grab hold of Apple-Jack, "Come with me!"
As Apple-Jack was jerked away, she had dropped her drink. Apple-Jack collected herself as she asked, "What is it Sugarcube?"
"I'm... just so embarrassed, Me and Celestia kind of... well I'll leave out the details, but every time I try to talk around her now, I get all chocked up. At least I do when I'm in front of Celestia and another Pony!" Twilight spazzed.
"Just calm down! It's ok to be a little nervous, especially with the same sex relationships... Every-pony here are friends and not to mention just about every-pony here is with the same sex, excluding Pinkie-Pie, Big Macintosh, Rarity, and Spike."
"Ok... Just gotta calm down..." Twilight started panting deeply.
"Twilight... you're gonna hyperventilate if yer not careful." Apple-Jack stated, "Now if you excuse me, I don't want Rainbow-Dash worrying about me."
"O... ok..." Twilight hung her head low as she followed Apple-Jack out of the bathroom.
Rainbow-Dash saw Apple-Jack leaving the bathroom and she hurriedly walked toward here as she whispered to her, "Apple-Jack... This seems awkward... were not the only gay couple... but... it still seems weird."
"I know Sugarcube, Twilight was telling me the same thing... I think I have an idea though to lift the awkwardness away." Apple-Jack stated, "That is... if yer wit me?"
"Sure, bring it on!" Rainbow grinned.
Apple-Jack started whispering into Rainbow-Dash's ear and a blush could be seen forming onto Rainbow-Dash's face, "O... Ok... if you think that'll work..."
"Just trust me." Apple-Jack smiled as she walked over to Pinkie-Pie and whispered into her ear.
"OKIE DOKIE LOKIE!" Pinkie spazzed in her usual way as she darted over to the jukebox and hitting it with her hoof making it play a slow song. Pinkie-Pie then dimmed the lights and rushed over to Big Macintosh, "Come on and dance!"
"Eyup!" Big Macintosh stated as he followed her onto the dance floor.
Apple-Jack returned to Rainbow-Dash and extended her hoof. Rainbow hesitantly took her hoof and was pulled up onto their hind legs as Apple-Jack took one of her hooves in one, and her other hoof rested on Rainbow-Dash's waist. The other pony's watched wondering if they had the courage to join in. Pinkie-Pie and Big Macintosh were already dancing, and soon to join in was Rarity and Spike. Luna didn't take no for an answer as she pulled Flutter-Shy onto her hind legs and they joined in on the dancing. Then next was Twilight and Celestia, which was awkward since Celestia was so much bigger, which pretty much ended up with Celestia carrying Twilight in her fore-hooves.
"I... It's working!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"Told ya so." Apple-Jack said with a smile.
Rainbow blushed as her gaze was caught in Apple-Jack's eyes. Her heart raced and she tried to hide her embarrassment by resting her head on Apple-Jack's shoulder.
"Nah ah, You gotta look at me while we dance, Sugarcube." Apple-Jack giggled as she shook Rainbow's head off her shoulder.
Rainbow darted her gaze as her cheeks burned with a red fire. Rainbow-Dash was growing more nervous and hesitant as the song went on. They both could tell that the song was nearing the end and Rainbow yelped as she was tilted backwards in Apple-Jack strong arms. Rainbow froze as she could feel the eyes of all her friends were watching them, "AJ... Their all watching..."
Apple-Jack lowered her head to Rainbow's ear and whispered, "I know."
Before Rainbow could react, her lips were forced together with Apple-Jack's. The whole room seemed to freeze watching Apple-Jack and Rainbow-Dash kiss. Apple-Jack's tongue pressed it's way into Rainbow-Dash's mouth and the room seemed to melt away as she started returning the kiss. She moaned into the kiss feeling Apple-Jack's tongue scrape the roof of her mouth. Both of their lungs began begging for air which forced them to break the kiss. Apple-Jack pulled her back up letting her get back onto her own four hooves. Rainbow-Dash and Apple-Jack noticed that they had started a kissing frenzy. The awkwardness was lifted. Even Big Macintosh and Pinkie-Pie were kissing. Spike puckered his lips waiting for Rarity which just made her giggle as she kissed Spike on the forehead. Spike melted as a grin formed on his face.
Rarity lowered her head to Spike's ear as she said, "Maybe when your not such, a baby dragon, maybe we can do more!" Rarity giggled as she winked at the little now blushing dragon.
Spike swallowed as he watched Rarity walk toward the punch table. The rest of the night seemed to be more bright and full of laughter. No one felt awkward anymore and stayed with their mate for the whole night. It wasn't until one or two in the morning before every-pony started parting ways.
