It Gets Better

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were at Sugar Cube Corner getting some cupcakes when Fluttershy notice some ponies staring. She had noticed it more and more since she started out with Dash. Ponies always pointing and whispering. She put her head down and walked inside.

"Hey, are you alright" Said Rainbow Dash, noticing her girlfriends behavior.

"OH, I'm fine. It's that I've noticed there are some ponies who tend to... stare" Fluttershy replied. Over the last week or so she had learned that there is no use keeping things from Dash. She always finds out in the end.

"Oh I'll Show those ponies to try and make my girlfriend feel bad" Said Dash. She just loved calling Fluttershy her girlfriend and, frankly, Fluttershy loved hearing it.

"No, Dash please. I don't want to make a scene" Said Fluttershy. "It's really not that big a deal." but by then Rainbow Dash had already stormed out of the shop and towards the ponies that were staring. To her surprise it was Rarity.

"Um, Hey Rare." She said awkwardly. "I heard you were staring at me and Fluttershy"

"Well, that's because I was. Do you know how odd a couple you two are" Said Rarity, in a matter-of-fact kind of way.

"So, We're happy together. You gotta problem with that?" Rainbow Dash said

"as a matter of fact I do." Rarity replied "You are both girls. Personally I thought you were a fan of muffins, if you know what I mean"

"Yeah, I know we're girls, but I like Fluttershy so it doesn't matter." Dash walked back into the store with a huff. Inside she saw Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy talking.

"Hi Rainbow Dash" said Pinkie Pie, with her usual vigor " Fluttershy here was just telling me it's almost your guys' two week anniversary. Now, I don't know about you but I think it's cause for celebration."

"The only thing worth celebrating is Rarity's head on a silver platter. I Can't believe her!" Rainbow Dash said kicking the air (because Flutter said she needed to stop breaking things when she was mad).

"Oh dear, What happened?" Said Fluttershy, now quite concerned about what could make her Dash so mad.

"She said it's weird that we're both girls." Rainbow Dash said "I mean yeah it's weird, but it doesn't give her any right to say so"

"I'm sure she didn't mean it" Fluttershy said, though she was equally disturbed by this.

"Oh, she's just being a fuddy duddy! You guys are adorable together." Said Pinkie Pie. Rainbow dash and Fluttershy were glad to have a friend like her. Always upbeat and supportive. So How about that party" The pony couple agreed to it and Pinkie started planning.

Later they were eating lunch when Rarity walked by.

"Hi Rare" Fluttershy said, but Rarity ignored her. "Well that's odd."

"No, it's not. She doesn't like us and more Flutter." Rainbow said, taking a bite out of her daisy sandwich.

"I don't think so. I'm gonna go talk to her" Fluttershy said as she walked over to Rarity. "Hi Rare. I said hello earlier, but you might not have heard me"

"Oh yes, I didn't hear you" The pony replied, quite flustered. "Well I have to go, I'm very busy with... um... an order of dresses. Goodbye." and with that she ran off.

"Well she was acting awfully weird' Said Flutter as she sat back down next to Dash.

"I told you. She doesn't like us anymore" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy didn't want to believe it, but it seemed to make sense.

As they left the restaurant they saw Twilight Sparkle. She walked up to them.

"Hey guys. I heard you are having a party to celebrate your two week" She said "It sounds like fun"

"It would be if Rarity wasn't being such a bitch" Rainbow Dash Said.

"What? Why would you say that?" Twilight inquired

"She won't talk to either of us since we started seeing each other" Fluttershy said. She put her head down. She didn't like it. Not the stares. Not the whispers. A part of her wanted to Break up with Dash and stop it all. But she couldn't Dash was so sweet and loving. She just couldn't.

"Tell you what, I'll go talk to her and see whats going on." Said Twilight and she trotted away to Rarity's boutique.

"Hey Rarity. How's it going?" Twilight said as she walked in.

"I'm fine" Rarity replied.

"Well, I was wondering why you're not talking to Dash or Fluttershy" Said Twilight

"Because I don't believe they should be doing what they are" Rarity replied

"Why not? They're happy aren't they?"

"That's not the point. I believe Mares should be with Stallions not other mares"

"That's no reason to stop talking to them. They're still your friends, aren't they?"

"Well..." And with that Twilight stormed out. She just couldn't believe what she was hearing. Just because it wasn't normal didn't mean it was wrong! Oh well, she was sure Rarity would come around.

That night invitations for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's party were passed out. A few days later Twilight was helping Pinkie Pie decorate Sugar Cube Corner. Soon the Party started and guests began to arrive. All was going well until Rarity showed up.

"Uh oh" Said Dash. She went to go see what was going on. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to apologize" She said her hair was uncombed and she looked like she hadn't slept in days. "When Twilight came to talk to me she made a very good point. You two are still my friends and even though I don't agree with you being together I had no right to act like that."

"We forgive you" Said Fluttershy, who had walked over during her apology. Dash wasn't so quick to forgive, but after a nudge from Flutter she said okay and they went to go get some of Pinkie Pie's delicious cupcakes.
