Chapter 38 "Lip Gloss"

We were sitting on the clouds, huffing and puffing as we stretched out our tired wings.

"That was quite the practice." I say.

"I know, maybe next time we shouldn't skip breaks though." Rumble suggested.

"Typical Rumble," I say teasingly. Rumble rolls his eyes and looks at me, flashing a smile.

"You know, I've had something on my mind all day today. As soon as I saw you this morning actually."

"And just what might that be?" I ask him.

"Your lip gloss." he says, pointing his hoof at me.

"You noticed it?" I ask.

"How could I not? You never wear any make up."

"Sweetie Belle wanted me try it out, she said she thought it'd suit me."

"Well, it kind of does in a way, it's making your lips look a bit more noticeable."

"Well that's why she gave me the one that matched me. She thought I'd ought to try it out, and she likes it. But personally, I'm not too fond of it. Especially since ponies had been staring at me all day." I groan.

"Well, if I were to be honest, I say you look just fine without it." Rumble said.

I couldn't help but smile at that. "Thanks, but I'm sure that you know that I don't care for anyone else's opinions. I know she meant well, but I don't think I'm ever going to wear this again."

"Suit yourself, but it can't be that bad, you're not wearing that much to begin with." Rumble stated.

"It does taste like cherries." I say.

"Really?" Rumble says. Before I can blink, he quickly swoops in and gives me a kiss, full on the lips. I stand there, eyes widened in shock, and blush rushing into my face and the tips of my ears. When he finally pulls away, he licks his lips teasingly. "You're right, there's a hint of berries in there too." he says.

I stand there, speechless, blush all over my face. My lips still tingled, I could feel the ghost of his lips on mine. 'Did...he just, kiss me?' I think. It wasn't the fact that he kissed me that was the most shocking. It was the fact that I actually....enjoyed it.

"Scootaloo?" he asks worriedly. He waves a hoof in my face and creases his eyebrows. "I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that without your con-" I stop him by pressing my lips to his. And now it's his turn to be shocked. I let my eyes shut and continue pressing my lips to his, until he starts kissing me back.

I find us slowly leaning back into the clouds and we just continue, he wraps his wings around me and I just let it happen. I find a smile stretching over my lips. We continue until I feel like my lungs would burst if we didn't stop. I pull myself away from him and gasp for air, a smile still stretched across my face.

He chuckles for a quick second before he pulls away from me. And I find myself opening my eyes.

But at that pint he was gone. I find myself lying on the cloud, alone. "Rumble?" I call out, but I get no reply. I find myself trying to wipe off the lip gloss, but there isn't any there. I sigh and lean back, trying not to let any tears come. 'I guess he had to leave.' I think. But the memory is still there. I smile, rethinking about the moment.
