Whenever I saw her, let alone anypony, I would fly away and hide behind the clouds to not be seen. I didn't really want to talk to anyone about what I was feeling. Could I act like everything was cool? Sure! Why couldn't I? But even that was too tough for me. Eventually, though, my emotions got the better of me and I had to tell somepony ask anypony what this might mean. And although she wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, I could only trust Pinkie Pie. I headed down to Sugar Cube corner without delay. "Ooh! Hi Dashie! You have to try this cupcake recipe I made!!" she said, handing me a plateful of cupcakes. I smiled lightly and grabbed one in my mouth, gulping it down. BlackBerry I believe. "They're great, Pinkie! But that's not why I'm here-" "Oh! Then are you here to BUY some treats because Mrs Cake just made a fresh batch of oatmeal raisin! I usually pick out the raisins because they're not my favorite thing to put in cookies but you know what they say! Don't knock it till ya try it, right?" "Actually Pinkie it's about what's happened recently...I think I might.." Crap, this actually caught her attention. I was hoping I could just say it to get it off my chest but her blue eyes were staring RIGHT at me. It was the moment of truth. "You might what??" she asked. I swallowed hard. It was now or never, wasn't it? "You can't tell a soul" I urged. Pinkie nodded, pursing her lips. "Promise?" "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" she said to me, a smile on her face. I sighed. Here we go... "I think...I think I might have a crush on somepony-" before I could finish, she grabbed my face with her hooves, hopping up and down. "Dashie has a crushie?? Dashie has a crushie!!" she began to cheer up and down, good thing no one was around to hear her. "Pinkie Pie! I don't want all of Ponyville to hear!" I whispered harshly. This must have reminded her it was a secret because she nodded vigorously. Her expression grew more devious. "Sooooo...who's the lucky stallion?" she asked, hopping around me in circles I lowered my head, my face getting hot. "It's..it's not a stallion." She continued to hop around me. "A zebra then?" "No.." Now she was confused. "Well...is it a girl..?" she slowed down and looked at me. I sighed, and lowered my ears. "Y-yeah..." At first I thought she'd hate me for being attracted to a girl, but smiled at me and threw a friendly hug around my neck. "Oh Dashie! I had no idea! You know you're still my bestest bestest friend!" I sighed in relief. "Phew...thanks Pinkie." she smiled at me and pulled away. "Sooo...who is she?" she asked, plopping her rump down. More confessions. This one would be the hardest. "I..." I hesitated. "I think it might be..." Pinkie Pie leaned in to listen. "...Yyyyeesss???" she blinked her eyes at me. "I think it's Fluttershy." Pinkie's jaw dropped as if the earth had yanked it down. Her eyes widened. "www..wuuHAAAT???" she gasped, throwing her hooves against her cheeks. "When when when??? I thought just the other day you hated her!" I nodded. "Yeah I thought I hated her too...but when I actually talked to her...I dunno I just..." Pinkie smiled the biggest smile I've seen in a while. "That's ADORABLE Rainbow Dash! Didjya tell her??" I shook my head. "Noo! I barley even know. I just figured out I might today. But you can't tell ANYpony." I warned again. She nodded. "Pinkie promise!" and I knew she'd never break a pinkie promise. I smiled at her. "Good....so...what do you think I should do?" Pinkie's tapped her hoof to her mouth. "Hmm...that's a toughie. I've never dealt with crushes before. Best bet is to just tell her how you feel, Dashie!" she urged. I shuttered at the idea. "No way! What if she like...like hates me?" the thought of her hating me was just unthinkable. I couldn't even think of that. Pinkie sighed. "Dashie, Dashie, Dashie." she threw an arm around me. I sighed. "You can't just live in the dark forever. Eventually either she will figure out on her own, or you will tell her. That's how it works...you know?" I nodded. "Yeah..yeah I guess so. But still...I..I'll wait." Pinkie raised an eyebrow. "Whatever you say, Dashie."
