Eyes on the prize, you can do it!''\n\n\tStanding in the kitchen with her husband in his vermillion bathrobe, Windy Whistles held in both hands a plastic tube of frosting, her fingers squeezing the dispenser with the utmost delicacy. Her wrists moved along a strict path of curves, their pace slowing down steadily before she lifted them up, moving her finger over the nozzle to keep any excess frosting from dropping out. \n\n\t``Perfect!'' Bow cheered after Windy breathed a sigh of relief, then dropped the tube in favor of picking up a small round, colorful shaker, ``I know I say this a lot, but I think this might be your second finest work yet.''\n\n\t``Well thank you, honey,'' Windy Whistles replied with a flattered beam while she shook the dispenser over the dishes below her hand, ``But I still think it's unfair to compare everything you and I create nowadays to the masterpiece we both created so many years ago.''\n\n\t``You got me there,'' Bow said as he wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders, his other hand using his smartphone to snap a photo of the dishes on the oven, ``Guess we'll have to leave everything we do from now on in its own category if they can't ever come close to our true masterpiece.'' After the two shared a quick peck on the lips, their attention was pulled away from each other by the sound of footsteps from the second floor moving toward the stairs. ``Speaking of our little masterpiece, seems she finally decided to wake up.'' he said, pointing to his watch. \n\n\t``Perfect timing! I'm hoping we didn't wake her by being too noisy - maybe the wonderful smell these made woke her up gently and beckoned her to track down the source of the aroma?'' Windy suggested while she picked up the plates near the stove, putting two of them on the kitchen table and holding the third in her hands, ``I'm so happy we got to finish these to help fuel her for whatever adventures she has planned for today.'' \n\n\t``Ssh, here she comes,'' Bow whispered while the footsteps made their way down the stairs, followed by a soft yawn. ``Three...''\n\n\t``Two...'' Windy continued, with the plate still in her grasp.\n\n\t``One!'' both of them whispered, just when their daughter took her last steps down the stairs, ``Happy Saturday Morning, Rainbow Dash!'' both of them cheered, while the rainbow-haired girl stood in front of them rubbing her arm against her tired eyes.\n\n\t``Morning,'' Rainbow in her white t-shirt and cerulean pajama pants replied, her voice weary and lacking any energy whatsoever. \n\n\t``We know you were too tired last night to celebrate your tenth date with Pinkie Pie,'' Bow explained, ``So we decided to save the festivities for the morning. Just look at what's for breakfast!''\n\n\t``Surprise!'' Windy cheered, holding out the plate in her hands toward her daughter. Rainbow Dash's tired eyes looked down to see a stack of pancakes, covered in frosting with a large rainbow insignia intertwined with multi-colored balloons, along with what appeared to be confetti littered around the surface. ``RainbowPie pancakes! And before you ask, yes, you're looking at edible confetti. Bought it from Mr. and Mrs. Cake from the Sweet Shoppe bakery.''\n\n\t``That's not all,'' Bow said with a proud smirk, ``I took my recipe for Hothoof Hotcakes and mixed it in with not only chopped mixed fruit, but - wait for it - cotton candy flavoring! I'd say that fits the bill pretty well for you and Pinkie Pie, don't you think?'' Following another yawn, Rainbow Dash lifted her eyes from the stack of pancakes and toward her parents, her face still wearing a look of indifference. \n\n\t``Thanks mom and dad, looks great,'' she muttered, before turning toward the kitchen and heading toward the pantry, ``I'm just gonna get some cereal.''\n\n\tThe look of exuberance on both her parents faces vanished and gave way to wide eyed expressions of despair while they watched their daughter open the pantry and pull out a box of Cocoa Clops before moving to the cabinets to get a bowl. \n\n\t``U-um, sweetheart, you're not worried about eating them because they look so wonderful that you don't want to ruin the design, right?'' Windy asked with a nervous smile, ``Because Bow took a picture of them, so we can still appreciate how wonderful they look even after they're all gone.''\n\n\t``Nope,'' Dash replied as she moved toward the fridge, opening the door and pulling out the carton of milk from the bottom shelf, ``Just not in the mood for pancakes today.''\n\n\t``Alrighty... w-we can put them in the fridge and eat them later. They should still be good if we don't let them sit overnight.'' Windy looked down at the dish in her hands, her smile weakening before her husband rushed up and rubbed his hand over her back in a soothing fashion.\n\n\t``So, Dash... what's today got in store for you, huh?'' he asked, doing his best to keep up a radiance of enthusiasm even while his daughter's back was toward he and his wife, ``Any plans to hang out with the other girls? Maybe just you and Pinkie Pie together, letting the intimacy of your relationship strengthen the bond between you two?''\n\n\t``Nope,'' Rainbow Dash replied as she poured the milk into her bowl of chocolate cereal, ``Just gonna hang out in my room and wait for the day to pass.''\n\n\t``... Okay then!'' Bow said with his right eye twitching just slightly, while Rainbow put the milk back in the fridge and walked past him with her bowl in her hands, ``If that's what you want to do, then go for it! You be as lazy as you can be, don't let anything get in your way!'' Rainbow Dash climbed up the stairs without so much as a grumble, reaching the top and turning past the rails back to her room. \n\n\t``We love you, honey,'' Windy called up the stairs, just a second before the both of them heard the click of her bedroom door. The two parents turned their confused gazes toward one another, then down to the plate of pancakes in her hands. ``Well then, I guess I'd better put these in the fridge,'' she said, walking toward the kitchen table to pick up she and her husbands plates as well, ``Good thing we didn't put syrup on them yet, so they won't get soggy.''\n\n\t``Windy, you know she wasn't upset with the pancakes, right?'' Bow said after Windy closed the door, prompting her to turn around and lean against the fridge with a sigh. \n\n\t``I know,'' she replied when he drew nearer to her, ``And I know she gets frustrated with us when we're extra supportive of her, but that didn't seem like frustration or annoyance. It just seemed...''\n\n\t``Lifeless,'' Bow finished for his wife, ``Like she didn't feel anything at all.''\n\n\t``That just doesn't make any sense,'' Windy said, the both of them sitting down on the living room sofa,sitting cheek by cheek next to one another, ``She seemed fine when she came home last night - a little grumpy, but she's usually like that when we're making so much excitement over her. What do you think happened between then and now?''\n\n\t``I've no idea,'' Bow replied with his chin on his knuckles, ``And since we don't know what it is, we don't know how to fix it either, or if it's something we even can fix.''\n\n\t``I think it's worth trying though,'' Windy suggested as she rubbed her hand against Bow's forearm on the kitchen table, ``There's a chance she might just want to be left alone, but I'd rather know that for sure instead of sitting here wondering.''\n\n\t``Good idea, honey,'' Bow said with his wife's hand in his grasp, ``You think we should go up there now?''\n\n\t``Yes, but instead of us, I think I should take this one on myself,'' Windy said, eliciting a somewhat dejected frown from her husband, ``I know you want to help too, dear, but you know how she gets sometimes. Both of us can be a little overwhelming for her, and right now I don't think she needs that. She could probably use some `girl chat' more than anything at the moment.''\n\n\t``Alright then, fair enough,'' Bow relented, his wife giving his hand a thankful squeeze before she stood up, ``Good luck, Windy.''\n\n\t``Thanks.''\n\n\tAfter a short trek up the stairs, Windy arrived outside of Rainbow Dash's bedroom door, placing her ear onto its surface. She'd learned over the years to listen before even attempting to knock, just in case any specific sounds from the other side might have indicated her daughter needed a particular kind of alone time for a moment. What she head from the other side wasn't the sound of her daughter's soft and passionate moans, but instead the low reverb of Dash's guitar, each strum slow and disorganized. Lifting her knuckles to the wooden door, she softly knocked three times before speaking. \n\n\t``Dash, honey?'' Windy said from her side of the door, ``Do you mind if I come in for a moment?''\n\n\t``Whatever,'' she heard her daughter reply in the same lethargic tone she'd had downstairs. It wasn't the answer she hoped for, but it wasn't denying her entry either; thus she gripped the doorknob and gave it a twist. Opening the door and stepping inside, Windy saw Rainbow Dash laying on her side in her bed, her right hand plucking at the strings of her guitar without any real pattern or rhythm. Windy leaned herself against the side of the door frame, forcing herself to smile before she spoke. \n\n\t``Hey there, sweetheart!'' she greeted with an upbeat timbre, ``Ooh, you have your guitar out, nice! You cooking up another smash hit for the Rainbooms?'' Even while Windy stood behind Dash with a grin plastered to her face, nothing but silence filled the air, save for the aimless strumming on Dash's guitar. Not even a sigh or roll of the shoulders came from her to acknowledge her mother's presence. Dropping her smile, Windy walked toward the end of the bed and sat down gingerly, looking over her shoulder toward her daughter. \n\n``Honey, your father and I know something's bothering you. And I know that we can get on your nerves sometimes with how excited we get, but I don't want you to forget that we want to support you in other ways than celebrating everything you do. If there's some kind of problem bringing your mood down, we want to help however we can, if you'll let us.'' Again, Dash said nothing, her fingers still busying themselves with the occasional plucks on the strings of her guitar. ``I understand if it's something personal and you don't feel comfortable discussing the whole thing with me, even if you could tell me just a little bit about what's bothering you, that would mean the world to your father and I.'' In a surprising turn of events, Rainbow Dash's fingers went still, silencing the slow reverberations that had emanated throughout the room. ``But, that's up to you honey. Even if you don't want to talk about it, we still love you and hope that you can figure out how to overcome whatever's got you down. Okay?''\n\nSeveral seconds passed of Windy keeping her sight fixed on her daughter, whose eyes darted back and forth from her to the window of her bedroom. Just before Windy could lift herself off of the bed, she noticed Rainbow put her guitar down and roll herself over before sitting up with her knees against her chest. \n\n``It's... about Pinkie Pie,'' she said, keeping her eyes averted from her mother. \n\n``I'm sorry to hear that, sweetheart,'' Windy replied, scooting herself along the mattress a few inches closer to Dash, ``Was it something that happened last night?''\n\n``Yeah, kind of. I mean, it's not like we had a fight or anything, and we're not gonna break up. It's just...''\n\n``Complicated?'' Windy asked. \n\n``Yeah. Complicated.''\n\n``I know how that feels, Dash, more than you think. Like I said, you don't have to go into detail about it if you don't want to. You can talk about as much or as little as you like.''\n\nRainbow Dash felt her insides squeeze when she thought about how to phrase what weighed on her mind. She imagined the possibility of just blurting it out, that her girlfriend had revealed her secret scat fetish, along with her desire to watch Rainbow Dash take a dump in front of her. Just the thought of saying such a thing to her mother made her cringe. She felt sure that her parents of all people wouldn't judge she or Pinkie, saying they supported whatever the two of them enjoyed so long as they kept things safe and hygienic. Still, Dash just couldn't force the words out of her mouth, and thought it best to keep things vague. \n\n``Last night after the movie, Pinkie Pie told me something about herself that I didn't know. And it was... weird. Like, weirder than typical Pinkie Pie weirdness.''\n\n``Wow. That must have been quite a doozy,'' Windy said with her sight kept on Dash, ``And I'm guessing it changed the way you look and think about her now?''\n\n``Yeah,'' Dash said, her hands gripping the legs of her pajamas, ``I mean, it's not like this is a bad thing about her or anything, she's not doing anything wrong with... this thing she told me about. It's just kind of surprising, and I'm not sure how to deal with it from now on.'' With her eyes still looking downward, Dash saw her mother's hand reach over and place itself on top of her own which still remained clutched onto her knee.\n\n``Dash honey, I just want to say that it's normal for you or anyone else to have doubts and insecurities about their relationship - even one that's as wonderful as the one you and Pinkie Pie share,'' Windy said, prompting Rainbow to look up for a moment to see her mother's face looking toward her, ``Believe me, you're not the only one who goes through something like this.''\n\n``So, I'm guessing you and dad...?'' Dash began, drawing a soft snort from her mother.\n\n``Actually, no; your father and I pretty much knew we'd be together forever about a week after we started dating,'' she said with a proud beam, which dropped the instant she heard her daughter heave an aggravated sigh, ``But-but we're an exception, not the norm! Most people's relationships aren't perfect, and most of them come with their share of speed bumps and hurdles along the way. The fact that you're sitting here at the crossroads so to speak means you're taking your relationship with Pinkie Pie very seriously.''\n\n``It does?'' Rainbow asked with a slight bit of optimism.\n\n``Absolutely! If you just decided on a whim to break up with Pinkie because of what she said, that would mean the relationship wasn't important to you at all. On the other hand, if you'd just accepted it without a second thought, then that means you're just ignoring your own wants and needs in favor of hers, which isn't good either.'' Scooting closer to her daughter, Windy picked up Rainbow's hand off of her knee. ``See, the thing about a relationship is, you can't give too little or even too much in order to maintain a healthy bond. If you give too little, then it deteriorates over time until it breaks off completely,'' she explained, her grip falling away from Dash's hand and letting it fall back to her knee in a heap. Her other hand reached for the one adjacent to Dash's knee, lifting it up and wrapping her whole palm over the top of it, ``But if you let your own needs get overrun by your partner's, then you let yourself get overwhelmed by them; so it's not a relationship anymore - it's servitude.'' Picking up Dash's right hand with her left, Windy held bother her hands up, letting her fingers slip in between Dash's to form a gentle clasp, both of their palms making contact with one another. ``A true and genuine relationship relies on compromise; neither side pushing or relenting too much so that the other side gets more than them, but still putting in that effort to hold onto that connection and keep it going strong over time. Does that make sense, honey?''\n\nLooking at her mother's hands holding her own, Dash's eyes remained open wide as her mind let Windy's words sink in. It astonished her, how her mother and even her father could surprise her like this now and then. While most of the time they seemed like ridiculous clowns without any purpose in life besides throwing a party every time she took a step on the ground, they'd sometimes put a halt on their antics and really communicate with her to help give her a sense of direction in her life. Looking into her mother's eyes and seeing her smile toward her, Dash leapt forward and wrapped her arms around Windy Whistles, feeling the gesture returned in one second flat. \n\n``Thanks mom,'' Dash said, her voice an octave higher than the defeated tone she'd had since she went downstairs earlier.\n\n``You're welcome, honey,'' Windy replied, her right hand moving up to smooth over the top of her daughter's multi-colored hair, ``I hope I was able to help somewhat.''\n\n``You did. A lot, actually,'' Dash said as she pulled her head away from her mother's chest, wiping her wet eyes just a bit, ``I still have to think about how I'm gonna approach this thing with Pinkie, but I feel better now knowing that I'm not wrong for feeling like this.''\n\n``That's a wonderful improvement. Just remember, if you need anything at all from me or your father, don't hesitate to ask. We're always here to support you.''\n\n``Heh, you don't have to remind me of that,'' Dash said with a soft chuckle, ``You guys do enough of that on a daily basis.'' With a lighthearted giggle, Windy leaned forward and kissed the top of Rainbow's head before sitting up from the bed and heading toward the door. \n\n``Good luck, Dash,'' Windy said, before leaving the bedroom and closing the door behind her. Heaving a deep and exasperated sigh, Dash flopped to the side and stared toward the front of her room as her mind began to process everything she'd just heard. It was true, that the chat her mom had with her made her feel much better than she'd felt this morning when she woke up, clearing her conscience about the hangups she had with Pinkie's scat fetish. The problem still remained however, and it seemed more clear now after Windy had talked it over with her. \n\nWhat did Rainbow Dash want out of her relationship with Pinkie Pie? What was giving too much for Pinkie and forfeiting her own needs? What wasn't giving enough and leaving Pinkie unsatisfied? Would letting Pinkie Pie watch her drop her waste in a toilet be a requirement for their relationship moving forward? If she said that she didn't want to do that, would Pinkie Pie think she wasn't getting enough in return and want a girl who was more into her own kinks? \n\nWith her eyes wandering about the front of her room toward her computer desk, she happened to notice the familiar sight of a white card with glittery pink puffs littered all over the surface. She pulled herself from her bed and stepped forward, lifting the card and opening it to see the same decorations inside along with a short poem written in messy print. Reading over the words brought her back to Valentine's Day, when she'd opened her locker in the morning and seen the envelope staring back at her, prompting her to open it and read the words inside. \n\n[center]Who's cute, courageous and quick as a flash?\n\nThe answer's so easy: it's Rainbow Dash!\n\nShe's the school's coolest girl and the greatest athlete.\n\nShe's daring and dreamy, and pretty darn neat.\n\nI'm always happy near her, so I'll hope and pray\n\nShe'll spend the evening with me on Valentine's Day!\n\nSugary Sweet Kisses,\n\n - Pinkie Pie [/center]\n\n\tThe poem flooded her heart with the nostalgic surprise of learning Pinkie Pie had that kind of interest in her, and the immense joy that had followed during their several dates afterward. While Pinkie had a natural talent for making those around her smile and laugh, she seemed to excel in knowing the right thing to say or do to make Rainbow the happiest girl on Earth, whether she intended to or not. Her corny puns, her sporadic tangents she'd ramble on about at the drop of a hat, her crazy creations that defied reality at times. More than anything, she cherished her eager smile, her infectious laughter and the soft puffy hair she could lose her hands in whenever they hugged. Rain or shine, when Pinkie Pie was with her, things just felt right as they should be, like she was whole and complete. \n\n\tWith everything that had just coursed through her mind, she found one answer for certain, what she wanted out of their relationship. She wanted the two of them to stay together, getting to enjoy Pinkie Pie's bubbly and playful antics more than anyone else in the world did. She didn't know what she and Pinkie would have to give or take to keep it intact, but she knew for a fact that she couldn't give that up over a weird kink she wasn't completely on board with. \n\n\tEven so, Rainbow was still left with a problem at hand: what exactly was giving too much or not enough, regarding this fascination Pinkie had which she didn't fully understand? Dash groaned once again as she fell back onto her bed. The talk with her mother had helped, but she still needed some advice, some kind of guidance to help her make the right decision. Looking to the right side of her room, she looked at the plastic box containing a collection of grass and a dish of food flakes, while a small tortoise took its time munching from the dish at a gradual pace. \n\n\t``Hey, Tank,'' Dash called out to the tortoise, making him slowly lift his head up from the dish and turn toward his owner, ``You wouldn't have any advice on what to do when your girlfriend has a scat fetish and you don't, would you?'' It took approximately five seconds for Tank's eyes to close and open in one slow and gradual blink, his expression remaining as blank as a white canvas in art class. ``Yeah, I didn't think so. It was worth a shot though.'' The tortoise turned his head back toward his dish, lowering it once again to resume eating his breakfast for the third time since he'd woken up an hour ago. Watching him eat reminded Dash that her bowl of Cocoa Clops hadn't filled her up as much as she'd wanted, a little pocket of emptiness in her stomach asking to be filled. Rolling over a few times along her bed, Rainbow managed to reach the lamp desk near her pillow and open the only drawer it had. Reaching inside, she managed to find a bright red apple, surprisingly fresh for something she'd forgotten she'd even put there in the first place. \n\n\t``Well, if you can't offer any advice, I've gotta find someone who can,'' she said, lifting the bottom of her shirt to wipe off the surface of the apple. ``Someone who has relationship experience, so that kind of rules out Fluttershy or Twilight - it'd be nice if she and Timber Spruce would just make it official instead of staying all timid about it.'' Lifting the apple to her lips, she sunk her teeth into the skin and took a large chomp out of it, savoring the sweet juice and chewy substance filling her mouth at the moment. ``I could ask Sunset, but she was still a major bully back when she and Flash were dating, and she's stayed single since then. So I don't think she'd be able to give good advice on compromise in a relationship.'' Dash continued to bite into her apple, feeling the void in her stomach disappear thanks to the sustenance filling her at the moment. \n\n\t``More importantly, whoever I ask, they have to be someone honest; someone who isn't afraid to speak the whole truth regardless of how it might make someone feel. I mean, since we're talking about me and Pinkie being honest with each other, then it wouldn't help if I talked to someone who thinks it's best to shower someone with lies to avoid some discomfort, right?'' Dash rolled onto her back and chomped the remaining bites of her apple and continued to think. ``Who do I know like that? Who could I talk to about my problem and get some honest and truthful advice on what to do? Hm...'' Dash thought hard over who she knew that could help her out, while staring at the thin core of the apple she'd eaten to fill the emptiness inside her. \n\n\tThe sound of her phone vibrating snapped Dash out of her daze, as she pulled herself up from her bed and reached for the device.

Eyes on the prize, you can do it!''

\tStanding in the kitchen with her husband in his vermillion bathrobe, Windy Whistles held in both hands a plastic tube of frosting, her fingers squeezing the dispenser with the utmost delicacy. Her wrists moved along a strict path of curves, their pace slowing down steadily before she lifted them up, moving her finger over the nozzle to keep any excess frosting from dropping out.

\t``Perfect!'' Bow cheered after Windy breathed a sigh of relief, then dropped the tube in favor of picking up a small round, colorful shaker, ``I know I say this a lot, but I think this might be your second finest work yet.''

\t``Well thank you, honey,'' Windy Whistles replied with a flattered beam while she shook the dispenser over the dishes below her hand, ``But I still think it's unfair to compare everything you and I create nowadays to the masterpiece we both created so many years ago.''

\t``You got me there,'' Bow said as he wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders, his other hand using his smartphone to snap a photo of the dishes on the oven, ``Guess we'll have to leave everything we do from now on in its own category if they can't ever come close to our true masterpiece.'' After the two shared a quick peck on the lips, their attention was pulled away from each other by the sound of footsteps from the second floor moving toward the stairs. ``Speaking of our little masterpiece, seems she finally decided to wake up.'' he said, pointing to his watch.

\t``Perfect timing! I'm hoping we didn't wake her by being too noisy  -  maybe the wonderful smell these made woke her up gently and beckoned her to track down the source of the aroma?'' Windy suggested while she picked up the plates near the stove, putting two of them on the kitchen table and holding the third in her hands, ``I'm so happy we got to finish these to help fuel her for whatever adventures she has planned for today.''

\t``Ssh, here she comes,'' Bow whispered while the footsteps made their way down the stairs, followed by a soft yawn. ``Three...''

\t``Two...'' Windy continued, with the plate still in her grasp.

\t``One!'' both of them whispered, just when their daughter took her last steps down the stairs, ``Happy Saturday Morning, Rainbow Dash!'' both of them cheered, while the rainbow-haired girl stood in front of them rubbing her arm against her tired eyes.

\t``Morning,'' Rainbow in her white t-shirt and cerulean pajama pants replied, her voice weary and lacking any energy whatsoever.

\t``We know you were too tired last night to celebrate your tenth date with Pinkie Pie,'' Bow explained, ``So we decided to save the festivities for the morning. Just look at what's for breakfast!''

\t``Surprise!'' Windy cheered, holding out the plate in her hands toward her daughter. Rainbow Dash's tired eyes looked down to see a stack of pancakes, covered in frosting with a large rainbow insignia intertwined with multi-colored balloons, along with what appeared to be confetti littered around the surface. ``RainbowPie pancakes! And before you ask, yes, you're looking at edible confetti. Bought it from Mr. and Mrs. Cake from the Sweet Shoppe bakery.''

\t``That's not all,'' Bow said with a proud smirk, ``I took my recipe for Hothoof Hotcakes and mixed it in with not only chopped mixed fruit, but  -  wait for it  -  cotton candy flavoring! I'd say that fits the bill pretty well for you and Pinkie Pie, don't you think?'' Following another yawn, Rainbow Dash lifted her eyes from the stack of pancakes and toward her parents, her face still wearing a look of indifference.

\t``Thanks mom and dad, looks great,'' she muttered, before turning toward the kitchen and heading toward the pantry, ``I'm just gonna get some cereal.''

\tThe look of exuberance on both her parents faces vanished and gave way to wide eyed expressions of despair while they watched their daughter open the pantry and pull out a box of Cocoa Clops before moving to the cabinets to get a bowl.

\t``U-um, sweetheart, you're not worried about eating them because they look so wonderful that you don't want to ruin the design, right?'' Windy asked with a nervous smile, ``Because Bow took a picture of them, so we can still appreciate how wonderful they look even after they're all gone.''

\t``Nope,'' Dash replied as she moved toward the fridge, opening the door and pulling out the carton of milk from the bottom shelf, ``Just not in the mood for pancakes today.''

\t``Alrighty... w-we can put them in the fridge and eat them later. They should still be good if we don't let them sit overnight.'' Windy looked down at the dish in her hands, her smile weakening before her husband rushed up and rubbed his hand over her back in a soothing fashion.

\t``So, Dash... what's today got in store for you, huh?'' he asked, doing his best to keep up a radiance of enthusiasm even while his daughter's back was toward he and his wife, ``Any plans to hang out with the other girls? Maybe just you and Pinkie Pie together, letting the intimacy of your relationship strengthen the bond between you two?''

\t``Nope,'' Rainbow Dash replied as she poured the milk into her bowl of chocolate cereal, ``Just gonna hang out in my room and wait for the day to pass.''

\t``... Okay then!'' Bow said with his right eye twitching just slightly, while Rainbow put the milk back in the fridge and walked past him with her bowl in her hands, ``If that's what you want to do, then go for it! You be as lazy as you can be, don't let anything get in your way!'' Rainbow Dash climbed up the stairs without so much as a grumble, reaching the top and turning past the rails back to her room.

\t``We love you, honey,'' Windy called up the stairs, just a second before the both of them heard the click of her bedroom door. The two parents turned their confused gazes toward one another, then down to the plate of pancakes in her hands. ``Well then, I guess I'd better put these in the fridge,'' she said, walking toward the kitchen table to pick up she and her husbands plates as well, ``Good thing we didn't put syrup on them yet, so they won't get soggy.''

\t``Windy, you know she wasn't upset with the pancakes, right?'' Bow said after Windy closed the door, prompting her to turn around and lean against the fridge with a sigh.

\t``I know,'' she replied when he drew nearer to her, ``And I know she gets frustrated with us when we're extra supportive of her, but that didn't seem like frustration or annoyance. It just seemed...''

\t``Lifeless,'' Bow finished for his wife, ``Like she didn't feel anything at all.''

\t``That just doesn't make any sense,'' Windy said, the both of them sitting down on the living room sofa,sitting cheek by cheek next to one another, ``She seemed fine when she came home last night  -  a little grumpy, but she's usually like that when we're making so much excitement over her. What do you think happened between then and now?''

\t``I've no idea,'' Bow replied with his chin on his knuckles, ``And since we don't know what it is, we don't know how to fix it either, or if it's something we even can fix.''

\t``I think it's worth trying though,'' Windy suggested as she rubbed her hand against Bow's forearm on the kitchen table, ``There's a chance she might just want to be left alone, but I'd rather know that for sure instead of sitting here wondering.''

\t``Good idea, honey,'' Bow said with his wife's hand in his grasp, ``You think we should go up there now?''

\t``Yes, but instead of us, I think I should take this one on myself,'' Windy said, eliciting a somewhat dejected frown from her husband, ``I know you want to help too, dear, but you know how she gets sometimes. Both of us can be a little overwhelming for her, and right now I don't think she needs that. She could probably use some `girl chat' more than anything at the moment.''

\t``Alright then, fair enough,'' Bow relented, his wife giving his hand a thankful squeeze before she stood up, ``Good luck, Windy.''

\t``Thanks.''

\tAfter a short trek up the stairs, Windy arrived outside of Rainbow Dash's bedroom door, placing her ear onto its surface. She'd learned over the years to listen before even attempting to knock, just in case any specific sounds from the other side might have indicated her daughter needed a particular kind of alone time for a moment. What she head from the other side wasn't the sound of her daughter's soft and passionate moans, but instead the low reverb of Dash's guitar, each strum slow and disorganized. Lifting her knuckles to the wooden door, she softly knocked three times before speaking.

\t``Dash, honey?'' Windy said from her side of the door, ``Do you mind if I come in for a moment?''

\t``Whatever,'' she heard her daughter reply in the same lethargic tone she'd had downstairs. It wasn't the answer she hoped for, but it wasn't denying her entry either; thus she gripped the doorknob and gave it a twist. Opening the door and stepping inside, Windy saw Rainbow Dash laying on her side in her bed, her right hand plucking at the strings of her guitar without any real pattern or rhythm. Windy leaned herself against the side of the door frame, forcing herself to smile before she spoke.

\t``Hey there, sweetheart!'' she greeted with an upbeat timbre, ``Ooh, you have your guitar out, nice! You cooking up another smash hit for the Rainbooms?'' Even while Windy stood behind Dash with a grin plastered to her face, nothing but silence filled the air, save for the aimless strumming on Dash's guitar. Not even a sigh or roll of the shoulders came from her to acknowledge her mother's presence. Dropping her smile, Windy walked toward the end of the bed and sat down gingerly, looking over her shoulder toward her daughter.

``Honey, your father and I know something's bothering you. And I know that we can get on your nerves sometimes with how excited we get, but I don't want you to forget that we want to support you in other ways than celebrating everything you do. If there's some kind of problem bringing your mood down, we want to help however we can, if you'll let us.'' Again, Dash said nothing, her fingers still busying themselves with the occasional plucks on the strings of her guitar. ``I understand if it's something personal and you don't feel comfortable discussing the whole thing with me, even if you could tell me just a little bit about what's bothering you, that would mean the world to your father and I.'' In a surprising turn of events, Rainbow Dash's fingers went still, silencing the slow reverberations that had emanated throughout the room. ``But, that's up to you honey. Even if you don't want to talk about it, we still love you and hope that you can figure out how to overcome whatever's got you down. Okay?''

Several seconds passed of Windy keeping her sight fixed on her daughter, whose eyes darted back and forth from her to the window of her bedroom. Just before Windy could lift herself off of the bed, she noticed Rainbow put her guitar down and roll herself over before sitting up with her knees against her chest.

``It's... about Pinkie Pie,'' she said, keeping her eyes averted from her mother.

``I'm sorry to hear that, sweetheart,'' Windy replied, scooting herself along the mattress a few inches closer to Dash, ``Was it something that happened last night?''

``Yeah, kind of. I mean, it's not like we had a fight or anything, and we're not gonna break up. It's just...''

``Complicated?'' Windy asked.

``Yeah. Complicated.''

``I know how that feels, Dash, more than you think. Like I said, you don't have to go into detail about it if you don't want to. You can talk about as much or as little as you like.''

Rainbow Dash felt her insides squeeze when she thought about how to phrase what weighed on her mind. She imagined the possibility of just blurting it out, that her girlfriend had revealed her secret scat fetish, along with her desire to watch Rainbow Dash take a dump in front of her. Just the thought of saying such a thing to her mother made her cringe. She felt sure that her parents of all people wouldn't judge she or Pinkie, saying they supported whatever the two of them enjoyed so long as they kept things safe and hygienic. Still, Dash just couldn't force the words out of her mouth, and thought it best to keep things vague.

``Last night after the movie, Pinkie Pie told me something about herself that I didn't know. And it was... weird. Like, weirder than typical Pinkie Pie weirdness.''

``Wow. That must have been quite a doozy,'' Windy said with her sight kept on Dash, ``And I'm guessing it changed the way you look and think about her now?''

``Yeah,'' Dash said, her hands gripping the legs of her pajamas, ``I mean, it's not like this is a bad thing about her or anything, she's not doing anything wrong with... this thing she told me about. It's just kind of surprising, and I'm not sure how to deal with it from now on.'' With her eyes still looking downward, Dash saw her mother's hand reach over and place itself on top of her own which still remained clutched onto her knee.

``Dash honey, I just want to say that it's normal for you or anyone else to have doubts and insecurities about their relationship  -  even one that's as wonderful as the one you and Pinkie Pie share,'' Windy said, prompting Rainbow to look up for a moment to see her mother's face looking toward her, ``Believe me, you're not the only one who goes through something like this.''

``So, I'm guessing you and dad...?'' Dash began, drawing a soft snort from her mother.

``Actually, no; your father and I pretty much knew we'd be together forever about a week after we started dating,'' she said with a proud beam, which dropped the instant she heard her daughter heave an aggravated sigh, ``But-but we're an exception, not the norm! Most people's relationships aren't perfect, and most of them come with their share of speed bumps and hurdles along the way. The fact that you're sitting here at the crossroads so to speak means you're taking your relationship with Pinkie Pie very seriously.''

``It does?'' Rainbow asked with a slight bit of optimism.

``Absolutely! If you just decided on a whim to break up with Pinkie because of what she said, that would mean the relationship wasn't important to you at all. On the other hand, if you'd just accepted it without a second thought, then that means you're just ignoring your own wants and needs in favor of hers, which isn't good either.'' Scooting closer to her daughter, Windy picked up Rainbow's hand off of her knee. ``See, the thing about a relationship is, you can't give too little or even too much in order to maintain a healthy bond. If you give too little, then it deteriorates over time until it breaks off completely,'' she explained, her grip falling away from Dash's hand and letting it fall back to her knee in a heap. Her other hand reached for the one adjacent to Dash's knee, lifting it up and wrapping her whole palm over the top of it, ``But if you let your own needs get overrun by your partner's, then you let yourself get overwhelmed by them; so it's not a relationship anymore  -  it's servitude.'' Picking up Dash's right hand with her left, Windy held bother her hands up, letting her fingers slip in between Dash's to form a gentle clasp, both of their palms making contact with one another. ``A true and genuine relationship relies on compromise; neither side pushing or relenting too much so that the other side gets more than them, but still putting in that effort to hold onto that connection and keep it going strong over time. Does that make sense, honey?''

Looking at her mother's hands holding her own, Dash's eyes remained open wide as her mind let Windy's words sink in. It astonished her, how her mother and even her father could surprise her like this now and then. While most of the time they seemed like ridiculous clowns without any purpose in life besides throwing a party every time she took a step on the ground, they'd sometimes put a halt on their antics and really communicate with her to help give her a sense of direction in her life. Looking into her mother's eyes and seeing her smile toward her, Dash leapt forward and wrapped her arms around Windy Whistles, feeling the gesture returned in one second flat.

``Thanks mom,'' Dash said, her voice an octave higher than the defeated tone she'd had since she went downstairs earlier.

``You're welcome, honey,'' Windy replied, her right hand moving up to smooth over the top of her daughter's multi-colored hair, ``I hope I was able to help somewhat.''

``You did. A lot, actually,'' Dash said as she pulled her head away from her mother's chest, wiping her wet eyes just a bit, ``I still have to think about how I'm gonna approach this thing with Pinkie, but I feel better now knowing that I'm not wrong for feeling like this.''

``That's a wonderful improvement. Just remember, if you need anything at all from me or your father, don't hesitate to ask. We're always here to support you.''

``Heh, you don't have to remind me of that,'' Dash said with a soft chuckle, ``You guys do enough of that on a daily basis.'' With a lighthearted giggle, Windy leaned forward and kissed the top of Rainbow's head before sitting up from the bed and heading toward the door.

``Good luck, Dash,'' Windy said, before leaving the bedroom and closing the door behind her. Heaving a deep and exasperated sigh, Dash flopped to the side and stared toward the front of her room as her mind began to process everything she'd just heard. It was true, that the chat her mom had with her made her feel much better than she'd felt this morning when she woke up, clearing her conscience about the hangups she had with Pinkie's scat fetish. The problem still remained however, and it seemed more clear now after Windy had talked it over with her.

What did Rainbow Dash want out of her relationship with Pinkie Pie? What was giving too much for Pinkie and forfeiting her own needs? What wasn't giving enough and leaving Pinkie unsatisfied? Would letting Pinkie Pie watch her drop her waste in a toilet be a requirement for their relationship moving forward? If she said that she didn't want to do that, would Pinkie Pie think she wasn't getting enough in return and want a girl who was more into her own kinks?

With her eyes wandering about the front of her room toward her computer desk, she happened to notice the familiar sight of a white card with glittery pink puffs littered all over the surface. She pulled herself from her bed and stepped forward, lifting the card and opening it to see the same decorations inside along with a short poem written in messy print. Reading over the words brought her back to Valentine's Day, when she'd opened her locker in the morning and seen the envelope staring back at her, prompting her to open it and read the words inside.

Who's cute, courageous and quick as a flash?

The answer's so easy: it's Rainbow Dash!

She's the school's coolest girl and the greatest athlete.

She's daring and dreamy, and pretty darn neat.

I'm always happy near her, so I'll hope and pray

She'll spend the evening with me on Valentine's Day!

Sugary Sweet Kisses,

 -  Pinkie Pie


\tThe poem flooded her heart with the nostalgic surprise of learning Pinkie Pie had that kind of interest in her, and the immense joy that had followed during their several dates afterward. While Pinkie had a natural talent for making those around her smile and laugh, she seemed to excel in knowing the right thing to say or do to make Rainbow the happiest girl on Earth, whether she intended to or not. Her corny puns, her sporadic tangents she'd ramble on about at the drop of a hat, her crazy creations that defied reality at times. More than anything, she cherished her eager smile, her infectious laughter and the soft puffy hair she could lose her hands in whenever they hugged. Rain or shine, when Pinkie Pie was with her, things just felt right as they should be, like she was whole and complete.

\tWith everything that had just coursed through her mind, she found one answer for certain, what she wanted out of their relationship. She wanted the two of them to stay together, getting to enjoy Pinkie Pie's bubbly and playful antics more than anyone else in the world did. She didn't know what she and Pinkie would have to give or take to keep it intact, but she knew for a fact that she couldn't give that up over a weird kink she wasn't completely on board with.

\tEven so, Rainbow was still left with a problem at hand: what exactly was giving too much or not enough, regarding this fascination Pinkie had which she didn't fully understand? Dash groaned once again as she fell back onto her bed. The talk with her mother had helped, but she still needed some advice, some kind of guidance to help her make the right decision. Looking to the right side of her room, she looked at the plastic box containing a collection of grass and a dish of food flakes, while a small tortoise took its time munching from the dish at a gradual pace.

\t``Hey, Tank,'' Dash called out to the tortoise, making him slowly lift his head up from the dish and turn toward his owner, ``You wouldn't have any advice on what to do when your girlfriend has a scat fetish and you don't, would you?'' It took approximately five seconds for Tank's eyes to close and open in one slow and gradual blink, his expression remaining as blank as a white canvas in art class. ``Yeah, I didn't think so. It was worth a shot though.'' The tortoise turned his head back toward his dish, lowering it once again to resume eating his breakfast for the third time since he'd woken up an hour ago. Watching him eat reminded Dash that her bowl of Cocoa Clops hadn't filled her up as much as she'd wanted, a little pocket of emptiness in her stomach asking to be filled. Rolling over a few times along her bed, Rainbow managed to reach the lamp desk near her pillow and open the only drawer it had. Reaching inside, she managed to find a bright red apple, surprisingly fresh for something she'd forgotten she'd even put there in the first place.

\t``Well, if you can't offer any advice, I've gotta find someone who can,'' she said, lifting the bottom of her shirt to wipe off the surface of the apple. ``Someone who has relationship experience, so that kind of rules out Fluttershy or Twilight  -  it'd be nice if she and Timber Spruce would just make it official instead of staying all timid about it.'' Lifting the apple to her lips, she sunk her teeth into the skin and took a large chomp out of it, savoring the sweet juice and chewy substance filling her mouth at the moment. ``I could ask Sunset, but she was still a major bully back when she and Flash were dating, and she's stayed single since then. So I don't think she'd be able to give good advice on compromise in a relationship.'' Dash continued to bite into her apple, feeling the void in her stomach disappear thanks to the sustenance filling her at the moment.

\t``More importantly, whoever I ask, they have to be someone honest; someone who isn't afraid to speak the whole truth regardless of how it might make someone feel. I mean, since we're talking about me and Pinkie being honest with each other, then it wouldn't help if I talked to someone who thinks it's best to shower someone with lies to avoid some discomfort, right?'' Dash rolled onto her back and chomped the remaining bites of her apple and continued to think. ``Who do I know like that? Who could I talk to about my problem and get some honest and truthful advice on what to do? Hm...'' Dash thought hard over who she knew that could help her out, while staring at the thin core of the apple she'd eaten to fill the emptiness inside her.

\tThe sound of her phone vibrating snapped Dash out of her daze, as she pulled herself up from her bed and reached for the device. Tapping the button on the side, she saw she'd received a text from Applejack, which she opened after tapping the front screen twice.

Rainbow, you mind if Rarity lets Sweetie Belle borrow your copy of Pummel Princess you lent us last month? She told me last night that Sweetie Belle's never played it before and got real excited over it when she heard Apple Bloom got it from you.

\t``Ugh, seriously?'' Rainbow Dash groaned as she tossed the phone aside, ``I'm kind of busy trying to figure out how to make my relationship as perfect as yours with Rarity. The last thing on my mind is some game I bought when I was a freshman and  - .'' Rainbow Dash froze as her brain processed what she'd just said aloud. ``Huh... guess that settles it then.''

\tAfter a quick change out of her pajamas and into her sleeveless jacket and crop jean shorts, Rainbow grabbed her keys and stuffed them into her jacket pocket before stepping out of her room and heading down the stairs.

\t``Mom, dad?'' she called out, seeing both of them sitting on the couch and watching football together before they both turned toward her, ``I'm gonna go over to Applejack's for a little bit  -  probably like an hour or two.''

\t``Okay honey!'' Bow replied to her, ``Glad you're deciding to spend your Saturday out with one of your friends.''

\t``Just be sure to text us if you need more time out there, okay?'' Windy said with a hopeful expression on her face.

\t``I will. See you later guys, love you!''

\t``Love you too, Dash!'' both of them exclaimed before she stepped out the door. Pulling her keys out of her pocket, she held them up to unlock her car door, before she stopped and thought something over. Even without traffic, it was about a thirty minute drive to the other side of town to reach the countryside where Applejack's farm resided. Rainbow didn't exactly want to wait that long to reach Applejack and tell her about the problem weighing on her mind.

\tLooking about her surroundings and seeing nobody was watching, Rainbow reached into her other jacket pocket and pulled out the other item out from its confines: a light blue crystalized circle, with the inscription of a lightning bolt underneath a cloud. Squeezing the trinket with her fist, a bright light flashed from the crystal, while Dash felt a surge of magical energy course through her body. The light dissipated in a matter of seconds, leaving Dash's body to feel lighter than ever, like gravity had weakened just enough to keep her from floating off of the ground. Lifting her eyes to scan over the neighborhood and toward the direction she knew Applejack's farm to be in, Rainbow crouched toward the ground with her hands holding herself up over her bent right leg, while her left leg stretched out behind her.

mp Everfree, she loved finding opportunities to utilize its magic and test just how fast it could allow her to go. Still zooming along the road, Rainbow Dash felt more eager than ever to see Applejack in the hopes that she could get her head pointed in the right direction with Pinkie Pie.
