Fluttershy didn't know how to tell Rainbow Dash anything just yet. All she knew was that Rainbow supposedly only had courage built through drunkenness. This gave Fluttershy a pretty crazy idea. She flew over to AppleJack's apple cellar before even thinking about going to Rainbow Dash.
"So yer tellin' me y'all want mah strongest cider? Fluttershy ya mind if Ah ask ya what y'all would even need this here cider?" AppleJack was in the cellar organizing the storage when Fluttershy had asked for the alcohol.
"Well uh, I just wanted to see what it tastes like," Fluttershy lied. She had never actually dared to drink AppleJack's cider considering how she'd seen how other ponies acted under the influence.
"Uh, whateva ya say. Jus' be careful, this here is some perdy strong."
"I will, thank you AppleJack."
There knock on the door, quite loud for a knock on a cloud door. Rainbow groaned as she got out of her bed unwillingly. When she opened the door, a yellow pegasus was wobbling around.
"Fl-Fluttershy?" Rainbow said confused at why her usually calm and shy friend was now drunk.
"Hey R-Rainbow! Ya gotta come with me to da, uh, sky place," Fluttershy stammered.
"Uh, Fluttershy we are in the sky."
"No, silly filly, I mean flying duh. That's the sky place."
"So you, wanna go flying with me?"
"Yeah huh."
"Well shouldn't you be sober for flying?"
"I am sober Dashie," with that Fluttershy barfed on Dash's doorstep and grabbed her arm. Before Dash knew it, they were flying around and she was having a pretty good time with the drunk Fluttershy.
They landed on a cloud above Ponyville's lake and decided to take a quick rest. By this time, Fluttershy started getting better and was no longer as tipsy.
"Oh Dashie," Fluttershy called from the air.
"Yeah 'Shy."
"I'll race you to that cloud over there," Fluttershy challenged while pointing at a cloud high above the middle of the lake.
"Okay, you're on," Rainbow retorted. The two raced to the cloud, Fluttershy lagged behind. She was still trying to fly straight when Rainbow had landed. Dash looked back for Fluttershy who suddenly crashed into her. The pegasi fell down to the lake. Fluttershy wasn't focused enough to fly and she held onto Rainbow's torso, making her unable to fly. Splash.
"Fluttershy what the hay where you thinking?" Rainbow asked after popping her head out of the water. Fluttershy snapped out of her drunkenness due to the splash of the water and was now dumbfounded in front of Dash.
"I-I, I'm sorry Rainbow Dash. I shouldn't have knocked you over," Fluttershy tried to answer.
"But you drank, and you were totally drunk back there."
"I'm sorry. I usually don't drink much, maybe a little wine sometimes but this was my first time having cider."
"Its okay Fluttershy, but why did you drink it in the first place." Fluttershy didn't answer. Instead she barfed in the water. Dash grabbed Fluttershy and swam away from the new floating substance in the water. Then she repeated her question.
"I-I just thought it would help me."
"Help you with what? What would being drunk ever help you with. All it does is ruin lives."
"That's not true Dash, it gave you courage."
"And look where that brought me. If I hadn't told you anything, things would've been the same. No awkward moments or anything."
"Rainbow you don't get it, I needed courage so I could-"
"So you could what?" Dash said sounding kind of annoyed.
"Because I lied to you."
"Great and you lie to me. So this has to due with being drunk becau-"
"Because I love you. I lied to you and I didn't mean to and I just, I just-" Fluttershy was cut off by Rainbow's lips. Fluttershy tried keeping her wings down, but they sprung up anyway. She deepened the tender kiss, knowing there was no sense in fighting what she wanted. A few seconds passed by and Rainbow finally broke the kiss.
"I'm sorry Fluttershy, I couldn't help myself. Everything just seemed so perfect and I thought we could kiss, but I didn't let you finish saying what you were saying and I-" This time Fluttershy planted a gentle kiss onto her athletic friend. They quickly broke the kiss and Fluttershy gave Rainbow a small smile.
"Now we're even." Fluttershy said. Rainbow couldn't help but smile back at the adorable pegasus. Everything was perfect, nothing could go wrong now. Or so the couple had hoped.
"Y'all filly-foolers havin' fun out there?" there was no doubt where that country drawl had come from.
"A-AppleJack! Wh-what are you doing here?" Rainbow asked quickly pulling away from the shy pegasus.
"Oh I jus' came to see how you were doin'. To me, it seems jus' peachy," AppleJack said with a hint of anger in her voice.
"What's wrong with you AJ. Why would you come over just to tease us?" Fluttershy was too scared to do anything but cower back in embarrassment.
"Hello, Element of Honesty can't Ah state the truth here. Y'all two are filly-foolin' over there while the rest of us here gotta sit here and watch."
"Who said you had to watch?" Rainbow yelled. By this time Fluttershy had swam laps away and was visibly crying.
"Well maybe Ah wanna watch!" AppleJack screamed causing an awkward silence. Rainbow floated in the water unsure of what to say.
"AppleJack, are... are you jealous of me?" Rainbow asked after putting the puzzle together.
"No. No Ah ain't jealous of ya Rainbow" AppleJack answered. This only caused more confusion to enter Dash's mind.
"Then what's the problem, who would you be..." Rainbow stopped mid-sentence. Her eyes widened in realization and her head hung down. She slowly picked her head up and swam towards AppleJack. "AJ are you jealous of Fluttershy? Because I like her?" No answer. Dash started swimming closer to land in order to get to AppleJack, but instead the lovestruck cowpony ran off.
A/N; Look, my chapters are getting longer! ...somewhat... Oh well, I'm just lazy and this will probably be my last chapter for a while 'cause I still gotta think up some RariJack stuff. Hopefully I'll have some more ideas popping into my head and I can update this some more. For now, have some semi-drunk Fluttershy :D
...nah, I still dont know what I'm doing...
