Fluttershy's POV:

"So... Fluttershy... what was Thunderlane like?" Rainbow asked, she must have seen me staring at him.

I blushed, "I'm not sure, he didn't really talk. He kind of just stared at me the whole time. He complimented me a lot, called me beautiful and everything. It just felt kind of weird."

Rainbow Dash thought about what I said, "Well that makes sense. You're so pretty it's hard not to stop and stare." She shot back.

I blushed super hard.

Rainbow's POV:

Score one for Dashie!

Fluttershy blushed hard, so I decided to follow up. "If I were him I wouldn't have said anything either, with your heavenly voice it's damn near impossible to not let you do all the talking."

She blushed harder than ever. Smooth, Dash. You still got it.

Fluttershy started smiling like Pinkie during a party and looked down. She started fiddling with her hair.

"So anyway, how did you two even get away with partnering with each other?" I questioned Applejack and Rarity.

"Well, we don't talk much in class and we didn't start dating until the end of last school year. I guess Ms. Cheerilee didn't know we knew each other." She giggled at that and wrapped her arms around Raity.

Pinkie Pie and Twilight started hugging too.

"And that's another thing!" I yelled, "Fluttershy and I got in trouble for PDA, for holding hands! You four come and hug and get so close you look like you're about to make out! Why don't you get in trouble?!"

They all shrugged. I groaned, but decided to let it go.

"Oh! I just remebered! I need you all to see if you can come over and help me with the party." Pinkie said.

We all nodded, and continued to eat our lunch.

--Time Skip--

(A/N: I skipped to Friday, that's when the party set up happens. Nothing interesting happens all week)

Fluttershy's POV:

I got to Pinkie's house and saw Rainbow and Twilight already there.

Applejack and Rarity got here last.

"Okay everybody! Applejack and Rainbow Dash, you're the strongest so you two will help with placement, moving tables, that stuff. Rarity and Twilight, decour! Make this place look fabulous! Fluttershy, you help me in the kitchen!" Pinkie Pie finished giving us our assignments.

I was confused as to why she asked me and not Applejack, knowing what a good baker Aj is. But she had to help Rainbow, so I guess I was the only one left.

"Now Fluttershy, you're probably wondering why your auntie Pinkie Pie brought you in here." She said.

"I'm a year older than you." I said quietly.

"Thats not important!" She yelled at her usual volume, "What's important is why I chose you to help me..." She paused.

"So when are you and Dashie going to tell the rest of us that you're dating?" Pinkie asked, getting in my face.

I was shocked, and I guess Pinkie Pie could tell. "Oh come on! The way Rainbow was flirting with you in the cafeteria! It's obvious you two like each other! When are you gonna date?" She said.

"Okay Pinkie Pie... I guess I might have some feelings for Rainbow Dash, but there's no way she would ever like me back! She's incredibly nice and attractive, plus she's a star athlete! She could have anyone she wants, what are the odds she wants me?" I said dejectedly. Pinkie Pie had made me realize that I did have feelings for Dash. However it also made me realize that those feelings were certainly not returned.

Pinkie Pie groaned, "Are you kidding me!? Were you not in the cafeteria? The odds are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!!" She said, making an exaggerated motion with her hands, spreading them as far apart as possible. "Fluttershy! Rainbow loves you! You need to do something about that, because it's obvious that you love her too!"

She frowned at me, then my phone went off. I had a text from Thunderlane.

--Text Conversation--

T: Hey Fluttershy, this is Thunderlane. Wanna grab something to eat later? I'll pay.

F: Oh... I don't know I mean I don't think I can.

T: Please? I promise you won't regret it.

F: I'll... I'll ask my parents. How did you even get my number?

T: Pinkie gave it to me after lunch. Text me when you get an answer.

--End Of Conversation--

"Pinkie Pie? Why did you give Thunderlane my number?" I asked her.

"He asked for it after lunch, said he had something to tell you. But that he couldn't do it at school." She smiled and went on making sure she had everything she needed for the party tomorrow.

I shrugged and texted my mom to find out if I could go. She said it was fine as long as I was back by nine.

I texted Thunderlane and told him I'd meet him at Fernanda's, an Italian restaurant in town at eight.

Rainbow's POV:

It was 7:30 now, and we had just finished. Fluttershy came in the room and said goodbye to everyone.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Thunderlane asked me out to dinner. I'll see you tomorrow." She said.

Apart of me got really angry. Was she seriously so blind to not see that I loved her? How dare Thunderlane even have the audacity to even ask her!

I knew that we weren't dating, and I had no reason to be jealous. But damn it, I couldn't be okay with this!

"Wait Fluttershy! All of us are staying over for a sleepover! Ask your mom if you can after your date!" Pinkie said.

It felt like someone stabbed me in the heart. "Date". Fluttershy and Thunderlane were dating.

I wanted to cry, I wanted to puke, I wanted to punch Thunderlane, but most of all, I only wanted one thing.

I wanted to be the one dating Fluttershy.
