Chapter 2: The Confession

"Fluttershy," Butterscotch whispered as he saw the pink haired girl lowered her sandwich to focus on him.

"Is Rainbow Dash mad at me?" Butterscotch felt frightened.

Fluttershy looked over at Rainbow Dash, who was eating her own lunch. She carefully noticed Rainbow Dash had stolen glances at Butterscotch for some reason.

"I don't think so, why do you ask? Did you do something to make her mad at you?" Fluttershy looked at the other animal caretaker. Fluttershy knew Rainbow Dash. She knew that Rainbow Dash wouldn't hold a grudge or angry against anyone unless it was for a good reason.

"Not really." Butterscotch shook his head. He tried to think of any instance that he had caused Rainbow Dash to be upset. He had no idea why she might have been upset with him.

Fluttershy looked over again seeing this time, Rainbow Dash had stared at Butterscotch in such a way that Fluttershy was puzzled. There were many stares that Rainbow Dash gave out. The look on her face was a look she had never seen in her best friend before.

"It doesn't look like she hates you. Maybe there is another reason she is looking at you that way." Fluttershy whispered to him. "I will ask her after lunch and let you know."

"Thank you, Fluttershy. I don't want to be a bother to my friends." Butterscotch heard the bell and got up to throw his tray away. However, he turned around and suddenly collided with Rainbow Dash.

"AHHHHH, Watch it." Rainbow Dash fell to the floor.

"Ahh, Rainbow Dash, I am so sorry." Butterscotch gasped as he covered his mouth. If Rainbow Dash deserved a moment to be angry with him, this was the moment. However, when Rainbow Dash looked up at the male who offered his hand to her, she merely changed her tone and stood up. There was a ketchup stain on her shirt.

"It's okay Butterscotch." Rainbow Dash calmed herself down. "Just a little ketchup on my shirt, there is no need to be alarmed."

Butterscotch grabbed a napkin and handed it to the star athlete. Fluttershy noticed her friend's change in attitude. Usually when someone crashed into Rainbow Dash, they were asking for trouble. Yet, when Butterscotch crashed into her, she merely forgives him. This was not like Rainbow Dash at all. What was going on with her today?

"I will be going now." Butterscotch quickly fled the scene. Fluttershy walked over to help along Rainbow Dash, who was still cleaning up the mess on her shirt. Most of the ketchup faded into her t-shirt.

"Are you okay, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy said with great concern.

"Don't worry about me, Fluttershy. I'll live through this." Rainbow Dash laughed at how serious Fluttershy was being. The animal caretaker helps Rainbow Dash along before the two walk to Rainbow's locker, so she could get another shirt to wear.

Fluttershy saw Rainbow Dash opening her locker with great speed. Fluttershy felt it was strange that Rainbow Dash was treating Butterscotch differently than the other students in Canterlot High. It felt strange that Rainbow Dash was treating him better than a friend. She wondered why she treated him differently than any other guy.

"Fluttershy, are you okay?" It was Rainbow's turn to show concern. Fluttershy stood there for a couple of minutes completely in her thoughts. She closed the locker with her backpack and another shirt to swap out.

"I am okay." Fluttershy nods slowly. "Hey Rainbow, is it okay if I ask you a personal question?"

"Sure Fluttershy, what's your question?" Rainbow walked with her wondering what question she was going to ask.

"Are you mad at Butterscotch?" Fluttershy asked.

This made Rainbow Dash freeze. Fluttershy only mentioned him once and Rainbow Dash just looked like she had seen a ghost. "Do I hate Butterscotch? I don't hate him at all. Did he say that I hate him? It's just not true."

Fluttershy noticed the nervousness and speed that her friend answered the questions in. "I just thought that since you have been staring at him so much that I assumed you didn't like him."

A whisper came through Fluttershy's ears. "It's actually the opposite."

Fluttershy turned seeing Rainbow Dash hanging her head down in sadness. "Rainbow Dash, are you okay?"

"No, Fluttershy. Butterscotch thinks I hate him. That's not true at all, I don't hate him." Rainbow Dash sighed at the very thought of one of her friends thinking that she strongly disliked him.

"I am sure if we explained to him that you don't hate him maybe…."

"Fluttershy, I don't hate him. I love him." Rainbow Dash stood there watching Fluttershy, who was standing still while hearing the declaration of love from her friend's vocal cords.

"What did you say?"

"Fluttershy, pleases don't make me say it again." Rainbow Dash complained.

"You're in love with Butter….Mphhhmmmhhh" Fluttershy was about to say Butterscotch's name, but Rainbow covered her mouth.

"Do you want the whole school to hear you?" The cyan skinned girl quickly covered Fluttershy's mouth and dragged her to a classroom and shut the door.

"Wait, you are in love with Butterscotch." Fluttershy said once more trying to see the possibles of romance between Butterscotch and Rainbow Dash.

"Yes Fluttershy, I am in love with Butterscotch. Laugh all you want about it. The school's star athlete, the winner of multiple sport awards, the fastest runner in Canterlot High, and the first choice that any male sports player would choose to date is in love with an animal caretaker." Rainbow Dash leaned against the whiteboard as she was telling Fluttershy about her feelings for their mutual friend.

"I am just curious as to how you became so smitten with him?" Fluttershy twitted her fingers.

"Well…" Rainbow Dash sighed as she closed her eyes to remember the moment she literally fell for Butterscotch.

It was during gym class and everyone was doing the climb the rope. Butterscotch sat out due to the fact that he was afraid of height. Well, actually he was more afraid of falling from that height.

Anyways, as always, I am at my coolest. I climbed that rope higher than any person ever did in their lives. However, before I could touch the top, the rope snapped and I was hurling towards the ground.

I needed to find a way to land before something could happen to me. I thought i might have had serious injuries However, on my way down, someone had caught me in his arms. I could tell it was a guy since he had short hair and other features i won't give away too much. I looked up to see who it was and I was shocked that Butterscotch was the one who saved me. Butterscotch had saved my life. As much as i found it uncool that he saved my life, i couldn't help but be grateful that he caught me in his arms.

He used another rope that was still attached to the ceiling to throw himself in my direction and catch me in his arms. He was luck that I would have found my way down. But, the most important part is when I saw how cool he looked while he was saving me. I think his head wasn't think all that he had did while saving me. At first, I didn't think nothing was out of the ordinary. However, when I heard his words of concern seeing if I was okay; I just felt that something was different about him. Not being different in a physical way, but in an emotion sappy love story kind of way.

I think it was those love stories I see Rarity and Elusive read all the time that made me feel exactly like those girls in those stories. Anyways, after he left, my heart started to go faster than it did before. It felt really strange.

The strangest part was since that day he saved me he was with you or our other friends like Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, and even Pinkie Pie. My heart starts to feel tangled and some part of me feels very angry that he spends more time with you guys and not me. That was when i realized that...

"Oh my gosh, i am in love with Butterscotch."

"I had no idea that you felt this way about him." Fluttershy cupped her hands and supported her best friend.

"I really do feel a lot of things for him, but I am afraid that I might scare him away or even he rejects me for liking him in that way. I know it's uncool of me to have this silly little crush. But, i can't stop thinking about him. I haven't slept well in weeks, my dreams have been about him, and to make matters worse, i giggle like an idiot. I mean i am supposed to be cool." Rainbow was about to cry before Fluttershy gave her a hug of support.

"Well, you never asked him how he felt about you. Don't count yourself out just yet." Fluttershy smiled at Rainbow Dash.

"Judging by how today went, he said he hated me." Rainbow Dash frowned while walking to a desk.

"Well, we just have to convince him that you don't hate him." Fluttershy smiled.

"How exactly do I do that?" Rainbow said raising a brow.

"You could tell him how you feel." Fluttershy said before Rainbow sends a glare that would deny Fluttershy's plan. "How about you write a letter on how you feel about him. The letter won't give you away exactly. I will help you write it."

"Thanks Fluttershy, I don't know what I would do without you." Rainbow Dash wiped her tears with her arm.

"I am sure you will be just fine. Now, let's write a love letter." Fluttershy grabbed a pen and paper in order to create the most romantic letter that would grab Butterscotch's attention.

As soon as the day was over, Butterscotch walked over to his locker. The first thing he noticed about his locker was that Fluttershy was standing next to it. She was looking rather suspicious as if she was waiting for him to show up.

"Hi….umm Butterscotch, how was your day?" Fluttershy softly spoke.

"I am doing alright. The day was long, but I am sure it will be even longer on Monday." Butterscotch opened his open to collect his things while putting other things in his locker.

"I found out that Rainbow Dash doesn't hate you at all." Fluttershy looked at the top half of his locker seeing the envelope that contained the love letter.

"Ah, that is very rewarding to know that she doesn't hate me. Though, i wish i knew why she was staring at me like that." Butterscotch smiled before he saw that a piece of paper was in the top part of his locker. "Hey, what is this?"

He grabbed the letter and opened it up. He stared at Fluttershy at the moment as she was trying hard not to reveal herself to him. She hid in the corner as if a monster had appeared in the hallway.

"It's a note" Butterscotch had gotten the letter opened. He removed the contents and unfolded the large sheet of paper. He read the contents of what this letter contained out loud.

Dear Butterscotch,

For many months now, I had been your friend. Just recently, that friendship has changed into something more. I love hanging out with you. You are such a joy to be around. I love going on adventures with you and our friends. I love all the times that we were alone together. How awesome it was that you saved me from a nasty fall. I just really believe that my heart feels something different for you. I don't think of you as a friend anymore. I think of you as something more than a friend. I am in love with you, Butterscotch. I love you more than anything I have come to love. I love how you laugh, how you giggle, how you amaze others with your skills and abilities. Your smile captivates me so much that I can't stand to look at you without smiling myself.

I know by the time you know who I am, you will have a hard time dealing with my feelings for you. But, I wanted to let you know how I feel. I will be waiting for your answer at the rooftop of Canterlot High. I will be there until five O'clock in the evening. I hope you can join me, so I can tell you how I feel."

Love,

Your Secret Admirer

"Oh dear," Butterscotch blushed at the very thought of someone had a crush on him. He looked up hoping Fluttershy had wondered what the letter said. However, said girl was gone from his view. He looked around seeing that she had vanished in thin air.

Butterscotch could have gone after Fluttershy, but his curiosity stood by the letter. This girl who had a crush on him was waiting on the roof. He figured he would at least try to get to know who exactly this girl was.

As he was instructed in the letter, Butterscotch looked around trying to figure out who the mystery admirer of his was. No girl came to mind when Butterscotch thought of the possibilities of who could like him. He didn't even think any girls had paid attention to him at all. Whoever this girl was, there must have been a reason for her love for him.

"Umm, is anyone here? I am here because someone wrote a note for me." Butterscotch looked around. He didn't figure anyone would hear him. He sighed.

"Look, if it is all a prank, then pleases come out." Butterscotch exhaled hoping it wasn't a prank. Even when it came to romance, Butterscotch was tricked into believe that someone liked him when they really didn't like him that much.

"Butterscotch," Fluttershy came out of the door. The male turned around seeing that Fluttershy was embarrassed.

"Fluttershy, are you my admirer, or was this all a trick?" Butterscotch said.

"No, I would never try to trick you like that." Fluttershy stood her ground but covered her mouth when she realized she spoke out of term. She gained her refocus and spoke to him.

"The girl that loves you wanted me to write it. She just told me what to write." Fluttershy stood next to the door.

"If it's not you, then who is it?" Butterscotch tilts his head in confusion.

"Here she is." Fluttershy opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Butterscotch couldn't tell who it was due to the darkness the door gave out. Once the girl nervously stepped out, the male animal caretaker was completely shocked.

"RAINBOW DASH," Butterscotch was completely shocked by this turn of events.

Rainbow Dash, stood there wearing a tight black dress. She wore a little makeout on her face while trying to lower the mid-thigh length dress she wore.

"Rarity, why did I have to wear this while confronting him? This is so not cool." Rainbow said cursing the Fashionista about her dress choice for confronting her crush.

"Rainbow Dash has a crush on me?" Butterscotch was trying to process how Rainbow Dash was his crush. She would have been number thirty or fifty of the girls that would have written him that love letter.

"Hi, Butterscotch, I guess you got my note, huh?" Dash said to him while rubbing the back of her neck feeling very nervous. She tried to act cool, but the dress was restricting her moments. This is something that Rainbow Dash hasn't done before. She felt more nervous than Fluttershy usually does.

The pink haired female noticed how awkward things were becoming. Fluttershy took that as a sign to leave them alone. "I will just leave you two alone."

As soon as Fluttershy vanished, Butterscotch soon found himself in the presence of Rainbow Dash. He had just learned that she didn't hate him, but she was in love with him. Love and Rainbow Dash were never in the same sentence unless it was something sports related.

"I know you feel all confused and how I would come to like you in that way." Rainbow Dash twirled a piece of her long hair with her finger.

Butterscotch nods as he grabbed the chair that was on the roof. Rainbow Dash went to grab a chair, but ended up tripping on her high heels. The suddenly landing made Rainbow Dash crash down into the lap of Butterscotch. The embarrassed male couldn't think of anything to do. He found himself staring right at Rainbow Dash. "Rarity, why couldn't I just wear my sneakers?"

Rainbow had kicked off the footwear that made her feet hurt. Once she felt all better, she realized that she was on Butterscotch's lap, who was redder than a tomato. He was now seeing Rainbow's bare feet.

Two impossible things have appeared in Butterscotch's mind: One was the fact that Rainbow Dash had a crush on him. Two was the fact that Rainbow Dash was wearing such a dress to confront him. Butterscotch wasn't sure which one was more unbelievable.

Rainbow started to explain why exactly she was in love with him. Rainbow had told the story to Fluttershy, but Butterscotch understood now that she was probably in love with him for the wrong reason. He just caught her. There had to be more to it.

"At first, I thought it was nothing. I just thought that I was in love with the idea of you saving me." Rainbow told him. "Ever since that day, I haven't been able to look at you in the same way. Every other guy that has tried to impress me didn't cut it in the way that you did. I know this sounds really weird and I understand if you tell me you don't like me in that way. I just wanted to…." Rainbow saw that Butterscotch covered her mouth with his finger.

"Rainbow, are you sure this isn't a prank of yours. I have been through the same thing before." Butterscotch looked at Rainbow Dash, trying to see the truth in the sports star's eyes.

"Butterscotch, I know I have pulled pranks on you in the past, but I think my feelings for you are real." Rainbow jumped at the chance when he mentioned about being hurt in the past. "I am not like those girls who tricked you into thinking someone liked you when they really didn't. I really do like you. I wouldn't hurt you in this way. I like you too much for that."

Rainbow felt upset that he would think that she was pranking him. She got off his lap to think it over. She jumped back into his arms after realizing the roof was hot and she didn't have any protection on her feet.

Butterscotch gazed towards her eyes. He could see that she really did mean it when she said she really liked him. He sighed and smiled for a bit.

"Rainbow, I don't know how I feel about you yet?" Butterscotch sadly proclaimed. He could tell that Rainbow was fighting the urge to cry at his rejection. He took off his shoes and removed his socks from his feet. Rainbow saw him putting them on her.

"But, I need some time to think about this? Can you give me three days to reflect on this? I promise to give you my answer during lunchtime."

"Sure," Rainbow Dash said as she stepped from where she stood. Suddenly, she didn't feel the warm sensation on her feet anymore. She turned to him and smiled. She was about to say something, but the male beat her to the punch.

"It's okay; I won't tell anyone about the love letter you gave me." The male stood up and nods to keep his promise to her.

"Okay, I just hope that we will be the best of friends regardless where this goes." Rainbow Dash blushed.

"Of course," Butterscotch smiled in delight. She held a point to her words. Even if they were dating or if he rejected her, they would still be friend, yet it would have taken a while to recover from the awkward moment they just had. He still needed to make a decision on if he felt the same way about her.

As Rainbow Dash walked home in Butterscotch's socks, she didn't even realize she was wearing them and ran home to prepare herself for what he might tell her.

"Wait, you are telling me that Rainbow Dash tried to ask you out?" Rainbow Blitz chuckled as he was relaxing on his bed. He was talking to Butterscotch on the phone about what had happened on the roof. True to his word, he never mentioned anything about the love letter to Rainbow Blitz or any one of their male friends. "This is the same Rainbow Dash we are thinking about right?"

"Yes," Butterscotch spoke softly for a moment.

"So, what did you tell her?" Rainbow Blitz wondered if his friend actually said yes to Rainbow Dash.

"I told her I would need some time to think about it," Butterscotch said.

"I don't think you should date her," Rainbow Blitz told him honestly.

"Why not?" Butterscotch wondered why his friend was against him dating Rainbow Dash. "You don't like her, do you? I mean I understand if you want to ask her out,"

"No, I don't like her, Butterscotch." Rainbow Blitz told his friend. "Look, I know Rainbow Dash. Are you sure this isn't another one of her tricks?"

"No, I think that Rainbow Dash was honest in telling me her feelings. I am just not sure how I feel about her." Butterscotch blushed.

He thought more about Rainbow Dash. She was one of his greatest friends. She helped him during gym, protected him from bullies, and was even his dance partner during dance class. He didn't even realize Rainbow Dash liked him out of all the other choices of guys at the school. Rainbow Blitz or Soarin would have been a better choice. Within his thoughts of Rainbow Dash, Butterscotch realized he was on the phone with Rainbow Blitz.

"Butterscotch, you there buddy?" Rainbow Blitz groaned in irritation of repeating Butterscotch's name.

"Sorry, Rainbow Blitz. I guess I was just thinking about Rainbow Dash for a minute." Butterscotch felt horrible he left his friend on hold for the moment.

"Well, you have to tell her something. I mean I wouldn't go out with her because she has other guys that like her. You know how tough those guys are. If you date Rainbow Dash, they will eat you alive. They will take pride in tormenting you for dating Rainbow Dash. Do you really want to take that risk in dating her? But, the decision is up to you. It's your choice, Butterscotch. I just want you to be careful on which decision you make with this." Rainbow Blitz said "I got to go but, pleases take care of yourself."

"Got it, I will see you at school, Monday." Butterscotch hung up the phone and sat on his bed. He took out a picture of Rainbow Dash and him at a sporting event. His mind kept thinking about if he did or didn't decide to date Rainbow Dash. He wondered how much he liked her. It wasn't as much as she loved him, yet a small part of him was excited that someone actually liked him; someone who was his friend and was willing to go the distance for him.

He stared up as this little thought would take all weekend for him to figure out how he felt about her.

He needed to think if he would go the distance for her.

Once Monday rolled around, Rainbow Dash sat at lunch looking anxious. Applejack laughed looking at her friend.

"What's wrong, Rainbow? You look more nervous than Fluttershy," Applejack smirked. Fluttershy looked over Rainbow Dash. The animal lover knew why Rainbow was so nervous. Butterscotch told her Monday would be the day he would give her the answer to her confession.

Rainbow Dash only ate a little bit. She heard Applejack's question and quickly answered. "I haven't seen Butterscotch all day. I am just worried something might have happened to him."

"Maybe he is just waiting on the answer to your confess…." Pinkie giggled before Bubble Berry covered her mouth. It was too late. Rainbow's eyes widened largely.

"You know about that too." Rainbow faced Fluttershy, who shook her head to say 'I didn't tell anyone about your crush on him'.

"Rainbow Blitz told everyone at this table." Bubble Berry also spilled the beans.

"Does everyone at this table know about my feelings for Butterscotch? Next, you will be telling me that Rainbow Blitz told everyone about the love letter I wrote to him or the silly dress i had to wear." Rainbow Dash blushed.

Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash, who was realizing that secret was now revealed. She put her head down and hid it like a turtle. "Oh, come on."

Fluttershy turned her head and smiled. Everyone saw the familiar male who was near the table. "Rainbow Dash, I think someone wants to talk to you."

"Not now, Fluttershy. I am too embarrassed to talk to anyone." Rainbow Dash still kept her face to the lunch table and her arms covering her head.

"Even if it was Butterscotch?" Bubble Berry laughed.

Rainbow Dash stood up and turned to see the man of the hour. He stood there right around where the energetic male said he was standing. Rainbow Dash got up and took the hand of Butterscotch. She didn't want their friends hearing what Butterscotch had to say. She brought him outside the doors to the lunchroom. It was much more private than the whole cafeteria. There the two stood looking at one another.

"Well, I have thought things over this weekend. At first, I didn't realize how I felt about you. I guess i still don't know how I feel about you." Butterscotch told her.

Rainbow groaned. After all this time, it felt like he was going to reject her. She sighed waiting for him to say no to her. The tears were almost going to form.

If you are going to tell me no, then get it out already.

"However, I want to try something that will be my final decision. That is if you don't mind of course." Butterscotch twiddled his fingers in embarrassment.

"Sure, I guess that would be okay." Rainbow Dash shrugged. "What exactly are you going to…?"

Rainbow Dash was interrupted by the immediate kiss to the lips that Butterscotch gave her. He knew he wasn't one to be bold, but he needed to try something to let Rainbow know he was interested in her. He nervously held her cheeks while he was kissing her. Rainbow was caught off guard by his kiss, but began to enjoy it just a little bit. She kissed him back.

I thought he didn't like me? Why is he kissing me like this? Wait, why am I so worried about this? He is kissing me. Rainbow Dash thought in her excitement of Butterscotch kissing her.

To her disappointment, Butterscotch ended the kiss as Rainbow saw how red his face formed. He liked the kiss just as much as she did. His deep smile proved that.

"Wow," Rainbow Dash blushes feeling a bit of enjoyment from the kiss.

"I am sorry, but I needed to do that in order to know how I really feel about you." Butterscotch scratched the back of his head.

"…And how do you feel about me?" Rainbow Dash was curious hoping the kiss would have some effect.

"I really like you and I want to go out with you. Maybe become your boyfriend. I want to see where our relationship goes from here?" Butterscotch yelped.

"I love you, Butterscotch." Rainbow smiled as she was glad he liked her more than a friend.

"I love you too, Rainbow Dash." Butterscotch smiled.

When the two turned to the doors, they saw their mutual friends gathered to the door to oversee the couple. Some were excited and even congratulated the couple. However, Rainbow Blitz simply stood there crossing his arms as he stood up. Once everyone took Butterscotch away, Rainbow Blitz looked at Rainbow Dash. Dash sighed as she knew Blitz wasn't exactly happy that Butterscotch was now her boyfriend. She was going to hear the overprotective speech from him.

"So, you two are dating?" Blitz asked.

"Yes, Butterscotch and I are dating now." Dash answered him.

"You know this is going to spell trouble for your suitors." Blitz warned her. There would become a problem later down the road.

"I will cross that bridge when we get there. For right now, I just want to spend some time with my boyfriend." Dash turned around to join her friends.

"What if something happens to him?" Blitz stopped her with his words. "What if someone takes it too far and hurts Butterscotch, because he is dating you?"

"Rainbow Blitz, I hardly doubt that…." She said before realizing those guys could take it too far.

"Didn't think this one through?" Blitz glared at her. "If something happens to him, it's on you and i won't forgive you for it."

"If something does happen to him, then what will Fluttershy say about you not being there for him." Dash glared at Blitz, who stopped in his tracks when she mentioned Fluttershy.

"So, we both have a stake in this if Butterscotch is hurt." Blitz smirked as he felt Rainbow Dash may have won this battle. "Fine, I will step back from this, but don't think i will be jumping for joy for your relationship."

"Yeah, I will throw in a good word for Fluttershy." Dash smirked as she ran off to see her boyfriend.

Rainbow Blitz stood there as he smirked at Butterscotch and Rainbow Dash now being together. He might have been worried about his friend, but something in him told him that Rainbow Dash would be there to help him along.

"I guess things at Canterlot High are sure to change" Rainbow Blitz stood by the corner watching Rainbow kissing Butterscotch.

Now, you know how RainbowScotch got started. I wonder what other sorts of adventures these two love birds will go on?

Until then, see you later.
