Fluttershy X O.C.

High school means changes, and for Fluttershy, it means not spending as much time with her best friend Rainbow Dash than in elementary school. It doesn't help either that Rainbow is a social butterfly, while Fluttershy's head is stuck in the clouds. When Rainbow starts making new friends, Fluttershy worries that the 'next step of her life' could leave her without a best friend to walk with.

Prompt was 'High School,' given by The Princess Rarity.

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.
