Angel sat patiently awaiting the return of his owner. He was well known for having quite the temper when the mood took him. And right now he was having just one of those moods. True enough he had noticed a change in the manner and tone of his owner, perhaps enough to cause some concern, but his need for the care of affection she would shower upon him was enough to override all other concerns and simply put the little rabbit in the mood that he currently found himself in. So there he sat patiently on the doorstep tapping his little rabbit feet in impatience, for his owner had neglected to mention where it was she was setting off for or what business she would attend there.
Just as thoughts of boredom were beginning to creep into his little rabbit mind, Angel heard a voice singing off in the distance.
"Oh ye Fluttershy is a merry pony Pale pink her mane is And her coat is yellow."
Sure enough, soon as that faint sing song voice made it way to Angel's ears, Fluttershy pranced over the bend and came upon her little cottage. In an instant, there was a mass gathering of animals converging on the mare. Fluttershy may not have been the centre of attention amongst ponies, but when it came to animals; there was no one else they would have preferred. Even on the state she was in, Fluttershy did her best to make sure the assortment of beasts that had gathered in front of her were all worthy of her time.
"Birds, chickens, squirrels, lend me your ears," She began. "I have some important things to say."
The crowd of creatures all did their best to remain quiet, though the various flocks of birds were having sons trouble to do so whilst still remaining airborne. Angel on the other hand simply remained in his spot on the doorstep, observing from a distance and waiting for the conversation he would be having with Fluttershy in private.
"I've developed some very strong feelings over the past day, as perhaps some of you already knew." She announced.
A certain group of chickens in the mass shuddered to themselves in private, remembering the ordeal Fluttershy had displayed in the morning regarding the breaking of some eggs that she was unsure as to whether they contained chicks or not.
"But I plead of you." She continued. "Fear not. This is a change for sure, but whether for good or bad remains to be seen. I am still the same old Fluttershy you have come to love and respect in your short, frail lives."
Something about that last sentence stirred up feelings if uneasiness in Angel's little rabbit form.
"Now I have grown tired of indulging you further, attend to your business." Fluttershy ended her speech abruptly, causing the crowd gathered to break up and spread over the grounds surrounding her cottage.
Arriving at the door to her home, and finding her rabbit pet sitting in a posture that presented his irritated mood clearly, Fluttershy wasted no time in engaging Angel.
"You seem troubled my pet." She began. "Is all well?"
For Angel, all was not well, for he felt an immense hunger overcoming him, and was disturbed at her seemingly negligence.
"Ah." Fluttershy guessed. "Hungry is it? Unlike your brethren, you always were the dependent on others one."
Now Angel felt quite insulted, for Fluttershy was never one to behave in such a manner to her pets, and for a moment, the little rabbit's hunger was subsided and his mind drawn to her words about her change in manner. And he started to feel quite anxious.
"Never mind then, let's go and have a snack shall we?" Fluttershy said and opened the cottage door for them to enter. Angel excepted some kind of big treat from his owner to make up for her conduct. But instead, all he got was a small cherry topped cake and a carrot, much to his shock but he was hardly going to try and persuade her otherwise, and his hunger was too overwhelming to refuse this small treat, so the little rabbit begrudgingly took his snack.
Fluttershy, on the other hand was far too busy with other matters to concern herself with thoughts of food. Instead, she busied herself with scrounging through the cupboards and drawers, searching for something Angel couldn't determine.
"Angel bunny?" Fluttershy asked after a while. "Do we have anymore members of the family Nymphaeaceae?"
Angel looked up from his already half eaten snack to give Fluttershy a dumbfounded look.
"Oh I'm sorry." She caught herself. "Do we have any waterlilies left?"
Though that was a much clearer query, the little rabbit was oblivious to an answer.
"Of course we don't, why am I bothering asking you." Fluttershy remarked with sarcasm, before continuing her search nonetheless.
As she busied herself again, Angel was left with one question: What did she want waterlilies for?
He couldn't think of amy cause his owner would have for any plants at this time. His trail of thought was interrupted when a shrill cry from Fluttershy shocked him, and he turned to investigate.
"Foul demon! Destroyer! Usurper! Hellspawn, begone from this place!"
In a flash, Fluttershy had rushed to the front door, bolted straight through, and left Angel in silence to wonder what it was that had provoked his owner's wrath. He didn't have to look far when Fluttershy returned, walking through quite calmly considering her previous actions.
Strolling casually up to the cupboard where she had found the item, she closed it swiftly, before moving back to the front door, closing it too in a calm manner before turning to the room and standing on the spot,as if in deep thought. Angel took this opportunity to rush up to her, looking up at her face with deep curiosity. Fluttershy noticed her pet rabbit looking before she drew her gaze to meet his, uttering a few words filled with barely contained anger.
"Parasprites. I hate Parasprites."
