Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// “It’s such a beautiful day here in the woods.” Fluttershy said to herself. “The sounds of nature relax me.” The nature lover decided to spend some time in the forest near her home. As she was hiking, she saw a strange sight. Looking at the scenery are two women that look like Indians. They both have short black hair. One wore a brown one piece outfit and thick brown boots. The other has on a blue once piece outfit and light brown moccasins. They both wear traditional headwear, like that of an Indian chief. “Native Americans? Here in the woods?” Fluttershy thought out loud. “Must be part of some tribe that lives in this town.” As Fluttershy walks past them, she was then called to by a young female. “Greetings, Fluttershy.” Startled, she turns around, and sees that she was greeted by the woman wearing the brown outfit. “It’s a pleasure to meet a fellow nature lover.” Fluttershy looked at the woman. Then, her eyes widened as she soon knows who it is. “Oh my! Little Feather!” The woman in blue came along as Fluttershy recognized her too. “And, Cheyenne Cher!” The nature lover felt overwhelmed as Cher came over to give her a sweet hug. “It’s okay, friend. We’re happy to meet you.” Fluttershy stood up and is amazed to meet these proud ladies. “What are you two doing here?” Fluttershy asked. “Same reason you’re here most likely.” Little Feather answered. “We came here to enjoy the peace of this forest.” “Little Feather and I are women of nature, as you discovered.” Cher added. “We appreciate the peace and quiet.” “So do I.” Fluttershy said. “This is something the three of us have in common.” The three women walk along a path until they stopped near a stream. They sit and watch birds flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water. “By the way, Cheyenne Cher.” Fluttershy wondered. “How’s your relation with your tag team partner?” “You mean Vicky Victory?” Cher said. “It’s going great. I’ve learned a great deal from her.” Cher stood up and went to a wide area of the grass. “Watch this.” Cher soon did some flips and cartwheels. Fluttershy was amazed. “That was amazing!” “That it is, Fluttershy.” Cher replied as she rejoined her friends. Little Feather soon put her hand on Cher’s shoulder. “Although Cher helps pick up where the original Cheerleaders left off, she still remembers her Native American heritage.” “Little Feather is right. I never forget my roots.” The three girls continue to admire the scenery. Monday, Fluttershy was heading home from school when Rainbow Dash caught up to her. “Hey, Flutters.” Dash said. “Did I hear that you spent time with Little Feather and Cheyenne Cher this weekend?” “That I have, Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy replied. “Those two are great company in the woods.” Rainbow Dash gave her a sweet smile. “No argument from me.”
