POV RARITY

- I still can't believe I lost to you and Rainbow.

Applejack laughed next to me. We walked through the halls of Canterlot High holding hands, taking advantage of the calm that preceded the classes. In her other hand she held her part of the bet, a soda and a chocolate bar.

- Descurpa sweetie - she kissed me on the cheek - but a bet is a bet. Although I don't know how you bet that those two weren't going to end that conversation in dating.

- I didn't imagine that a dating request would come out of a fight like that - I shrugged.

- I had never seen Sunset so shaken for having fought with arguém, it's obvious that she likes Twilight and wasn't going to let her escape for an argument.

- Yeah, seeing from that side, you're right - smiles in the corner - let's try to find the girls to finalize the bet.

It was funny to think that, of all of us, Sunset and Twilight were dating, even if Applejack and I had been together longer. However, I was not in a hurry for a dating request, everything would happen in its own time.

Bending the corner of the corridor, the first thing we saw was Rainbow and Pinkie in a kind of chase in which Pinkie was the fugitive. As soon as she saw us, Pinkie hid behind me and Applejack, looking over our shoulders. In the distance I could see Fluttershy arriving.

- Please don't let her get close to me - he begged - or I'll end up dead with my corpse turned inside out.

- What's going on here? - Applejack asked, visibly confused.

- Fluttershy handed me the soda and the chocolate from the bet, as we had agreed - Dash began to explain - Pinkie asked for a piece of chocolate and I said she could take a bite. It turns out that her bite is equivalent to that of a crocodile!

- In my defense - Pinkie manifested herself - you did not specify the size of the bite.

Before Rainbow went after Pinkie again, Fluttershy approached and put a hand on her shoulder, preventing her from leaving.

- You don't need all this, it's too early for all this rush, besides that you just ate - she took a small package out of the side pocket of the backpack - here, I got the candy machine for you.

Rainbow took the snack from Fluttershy's hands with a beastly smile and quickly opened the package, enjoying the sweet taste of chocolate. Fluttershy bowed his lips in a satisfied smile.

- Thank you, Shy - Rainbow thanked you while it was already half the chocolate.

- Shy? - Applejack and I said in unison.

- What is it? It's just a nickname - Dash shrugged and turned to Fluttershy - is there a problem if I call you that?

- Of course not - she smiled happily - I like it, to tell you the truth.

Applejack and I looked at each other, but we didn't ask anything, probably the intimacy of Rainbow and Fluttershy would be our first gossip topic after school.

Pinkie, seeing that the dust had lowered, came out behind me and joined the wheel. We kept talking until we noticed Sunset and Twilight walking side by side to where we were. Sunset left his hands in his jacket pocket, but he didn't take his eyes off Twilight at any time. The one with glasses apparently talked about some science video she had found in her free time.

- Good morning little doves - Pinkie hugged them both once.

- Good morning - Twilight greeted and waved to Applejack and me.

- You know, I still haven't gotten used to Pinkie's good mood first thing in the morning - Sunset joked and smiled sideways - but good morning.

- You didn't drink coffee today, did you? - Applejack smiled and crossed his arms.

- I took it, just not enough - the redhead sighed tired - I'm going to have a chemistry test today, my body needs caffeine.

- We can go to the cafeteria to see if there is coffee in the kitchen - Fluttershy suggested - what do you think?

- It could be a good one - Sunset smiled weakly - let's go.

- I'll go with you - Applejack laughed - to make sure Sunset doesn't fall asleep.

- I want to go too! - Pinkie went out with the rest of the girls, jumping after them.

The blonde put an affectionate kiss on my cheek and followed Pinkie. I expected Applejack to veto Pinkie's caffeine, her body and mind were already too agitated to be stimulated by caffeine.

Twilight and I turned in the opposite direction and started walking. Just when I opened my mouth to start a conversation, I was interrupted by a thud of Rainbow Dash's body behind us. Some strands of your colored hair flew forward due to the impact, some getting stuck on the tip of Twilight's glasses and others tangled in my earring.

- I need to talk to you - Rainbow announced - right now.

- By the attitude - I took your strands out of my earring, Twilight doing the same with her glasses - It's easy to see.

- What do you need to talk about? - Twilight asked, giving Rainbow space to pass.

- I need help organizing a meeting - he replied, quickly and directly.

- A date? - I raised my eyebrow, with a singing smile.

- Why do you need us? - Twilight looked at her confused - wouldn't it be better to call Sunset or Applejack? Even Pinkie, she's great at it.

- I would even ask them for help - Rainbow scratched the back of his neck - but it's more complicated, besides, they would probably be making fun of me and wouldn't be of much help.

- Date with whom? - I asked, curious.

- Then the reason I came to talk to you two - Rainbow sighed - is Fluttershy.

Twilight and I widened our eyes and smiled. Fluttershy? Our Fluttershy? On a date? My brain required a small internal outbreak that would end up getting out of control little by little. When I was about to fill Rainbow Dash with questions, Twilight covered my mouth.

- Don't start, please - she smiled and retreated her hand - let's let her speak first.

- Oh, okay - I rolled my eyes and sighed loudly - what do you need, dear?

- I have no idea what to do! I've never had a real date before - she took a head down face and leaned against the wall - I don't want to disappoint her because her way is completely different from mine, I can do anything she doesn't like.

- It is reasonable to say that Fluttershy is extremely sensitive and delicate, while you... - Twilight stopped and watched her for a few seconds - does not enjoy the same characteristics.

- Exactly! - Rainbow closed his eyes and twisted his lip.

- But Applejack and I are also very different and we are fine - I tried to reassure her.

- It's different, it's not about our personalities not hitting - Rainbow rolled her eyes - I need help because I've never been too open to feelings and I don't want her to feel uncomfortable while we're together.

- All right - Twilight smiled - how about this: you tell us what you have in mind and we help you polish the idea.

- Sounds good, but there's a problem - Rainbow laughed nervously - I have no idea.

Twilight put her hand on her forehead, taken by surprise by the answer. I laughed and stood next to Rainbow, putting a helping hand on his shoulder.

- Oh, dear - I patted you on the back - I couldn't have been happier to have asked for our help.
