Little Plot Point I'm Fond of... · 7:58pm Jan 15th, 2018
...but can't figure out how to use.
EQG Fluttershy is astonishingly good at auto maintenance, to everyone's surprise.
Perhaps this comes out while she's with Rainbow Dash. Rainbow has saved up her money for months to buy an old clunker, and she takes Fluttershy on its inaugural joyride. However, smoke starts billowing out from under the hood, and they pull over. RD gets out of the car, pops the hood, and stares at the engine in helpless panic; Fluttershy walks up, (gently) shoves her out of the way, cracks her knuckles, and starts diagnosing the problem.
After she finishes her work--whatever it is--Fluttershy pronounces that the car now "purrs like a kitten," or some other sort of animal-care pun.
I kinda like giving my characters some sort of incongruous, but character-developing hobby; this would be Fluttershy's. However, I don't have anything planned for an EQG story, aside from that one single scene. Any ideas?
One of the girls' cars broke down at an important time and they have to scramble to fix it before X happens?
