-The Next Day-

Phoenix: *walks slowly into Sugarcube Corner, her head low*

Peachy: Good Afternoo-! *looks* Oh! Hi Phoenix!

Phoenix: Hm? Oh hi uhm....Peeeachy Pie?

Peachy: *nods* Yup! You're getting better at names, Pheeny!

Phoenix: Eheh, thanks. *her slight smile drops back to a frown as she looks down* Have...you heard from Flare?

Peachy: No I didn't. *frowns with a pout* I had a big blueberry pie waiting for her, and she never showed up!

Phoenix: Well....I think she locked herself in the castle all night.. *sighs*

Peachy: ! *looks concerned, opening the side door* C'mon back to the kitchen with me, we'll talk more!

Phoenix: *looks up to her for a moment, soon following her*

---

Peachy: So, why did she lock herself in? *getting down a bowl*

Phoenix: Well.... *sigh* She came over to me while I was having a friend-lunch with Thunder Clap. And...she was...off. She seemed to LITERALLY crack and crumble in front of me! Sh-She broke down in tears and then ran off! I looked all over for her, but by the time I realized that she was at home, the guards wouldn't let me in! Said it was too late for unexpected visitors or some bullcrap..

Peachy: *having mixed some ingredients into the bowl, stirring them* She did? Hmmm.... *feels a cold realization crawling up her spine, ears lowering as she cleared her throat* What...time was it? 

Phoenix: Eh, late afternoon. *shrugs* It was so weird, I've never seen her so...broken. She did say something that caught my attention

Peachy: And that was..?

Phoenix: When her breakdown started, she apologized for interrupting mine and Thunder's time. Like...as if she thought we were on a date! I had told her in rather blunt terms that it was just a friend lunch, and it made it worse! 

Peachy: Ohh no.. *looks to Phoenix* I see..

Phoenix: *sits, putting her face in her hooves* I've...I've never seen her like that. It..it hurt. All I wanted to do was..hug her and tell her it was okay. To have her talk to me! I could barely sleep last night..

Peachy: Well....we both know Flare's anxiety. She..probably had an attack.

Phoenix: But, how?! I didn't say or do anything! ......did I? *thinking to herself, her eyes wide in fear*

Peachy: *accidentally thinking out loud* Well I mean, seeing you with Thunder probably sent her emotions spiraling. Afterall she was coming to confess to you and whatnot.

Phoenix: Oh Faust if I di-Wait. What?! *looks to Peachy*

Peachy: What? .... *realizes, her hooves flying to her mouth and covering it, her eyes wide* !!!!

Phoenix: ...What...was she going to confess to me?

Peachy: Confess? Did I say confess?? *nervous chuckle* Why what could she have to confess I never said that!! *big smile to hide her slip, failing horribly*

Phoenix: *stands, her wings flaring out and her eyes narrowing, her voice hard and serious as she towered over her* Peachy....don't. lie. to me. 

Peachy: Wow you can be intimidating.. <8'D

Peachy: *sighs, lightly pushing Phoenix away so that she can speak* Flare is gonna kill me..

Phoenix: Peach. *eyes grow softer, concern filling them* Please...

Peachy: *sees, nodding quietly* Yesterday, Flare was here helping me. I noticed that she was very preoccupied in her thoughts, and I asked. After a bit of poking, she....told me that...

Phoenix: Yeah..? *leans in*

Peachy: .... *takes a breath* She has a gigantinormous crush on you!! *covers her mouth again, watching Phoenix's face*

Phoenix: *confused* ....... *slow realization as the words register* ....Sh-She...what?

Peachy: *little groan, feeling bad that she has to be the one to do this* She has a huge crush on you. Huge enough that it's distracting her. It's not bad at all! But...I gave her a pep talk to go confess to you. She was scared originally. 

Phoenix: *staring at her as she listened, her mouth slightly open in shock*

Peachy: She left here, super confident that things were gonna go well.....she..must've pumped herself up even more between leaving here and seeing you. 

Phoenix: ....... *looks to the floor, her expression barely changing* I...I never...

Peachy: It's totally okay if you don't feel the same, but I..I still suggest that you try to find her and comfort her. No one but you can do this, not even Stella. *looks outside* If you go now, then you won't be stopped by the guards. J-Just please don't tell her that I- *turns back to the kitchen*

*No one else is in there with her. The slamming of the door and the rushed ringing of the bell gave the explanation*

Peachy: !! ..... *gulps, looking outside just as a cyan speed trail zipped by* Good luck...
