Rainbow Dash flew into the staff dorm rooms, checking every one to find where Fluttershy was. Eventually, she came across a door that was painted yellow with three butterflies, indicating Fluttershy's cutie mark. But as soon as she rose her hoof to knock, Twilight appeared right behind.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I feel like I'm a part of this somehow. If I wasn't so occupied with the Thankful Circle, I would've been able to help you get to the bottom of this," Twilight replied.
"Don't beat yourself up, Twilight," said Rainbow Dash, "Fluttershy has done this animal activist thing before and I know exactly what we should do."
"And what do you propose?" Twilight asked.
"Just give her some time," Rainbow Dash said, "She'll probably be out of it the day after Thanksgiving."
"But we can't wait that long! There's still four days until Thanksgiving!" Twilight cried, "Who knows how long we can wait? We need to help her and see what's going on now instead of later!"
"If you wanna piss her off, then go the hell ahead," Rainbow Dash said, "I've changed my mind. I'm just gonna sit here and let things pass and then check on her."
"Then suit yourself," Twilight Sparkle said, "I'm gonna go check on Fluttershy."
"If she's nuts, don't say I didn't say so!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Sure thing," Twilight muttered.
So Twilight knocked on the door.
"Come in," said Fluttershy.
She did not come to the door or anything. Instead, Fluttershy was sitting in her bed in a cold rage.
"Fluttershy, we've all realised that you weren't really being the Fluttershy we knew back there," Twilight said.
"And?" Fluttershy said, "I don't have to change my mind just because you say so. I said what I thought needed to be said. Is that good enough?"
"Is everything alright, Fluttershy? You know you can always tell me what's going on," Twilight said.
"Yes, it is," Fluttershy said, "Now please get out."
"I-I just wanted to check in on you because you're my friend!" Twilight cried, "I'm worried about you!"
"I know, but I assure you, it's nothing to worry about," Fluttershy said. Then Fluttershy took a few seconds to let it sink in. "You're not actually worried, are you? You're just worried that your friend has gone crazy and thinks that she should be admitted to the nearest mental hospital. Well, you think you're so normal, you never take the time to understand me and how strongly I feel about animal rights!" Fluttershy shouted, hurt,"I'm sorry you feel that way!"
"Fluttershy, I - -!"
Cutting the Turkey (Reprise) Lyrics
Fluttershy: You cut the turkey
Didn't you?
Don't think I wouldn't find out
You've made me wanna shout
What now do you think I'll do?
You cut the turkey
And that means
That you've crossed the line
How do you think
That all this will eventually
Turn out fine?
"Now leave, Twilight! If you want to hold Thanksgiving, do it without me because I want nothing to do with it!" Fluttershy shouted, "And if I do, expect me to release all my animal friends on you and see what you can do to stop me and stand in my way from protecting them from everycreature that could abuse and slaughter them at will! DON'T YOU DARE UNDERESTIMATE ME, BITCH!"
"Wow, Fluttershy... I don't think I've ever heard you swear before," Twilight said with a nervous smile.
"Oh, there's more where that came from, but really, should I?" Fluttershy said, "I'm fine, thank you. Now it's time for you to go. Come on. You don't wanna endanger my sweet little angels now do you?"
"Alright, I'll be going," Twilight said, transporting out of the room as fast as she could.
"So, how'd it go?" Rainbow Dash said.
"I think we may have to do more than just talk her out of it," Twilight said, "And not only give her time. There's more serious matters at hoof. I think Fluttershy may have let all of this get to her head and now she's a completely different pony. She seems cold... evil even."
"That is serious," Rainbow Dash said, "So what do we do?"
"I don't know," Twilight said, "Like you said, we'll try situating this out after Thanksgiving."
"Sounds good by me," Rainbow Dash said.
And so the plan was sealed.
