//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 : The Meeting // Story: Give Love A Chance Even If You're "Fluttered" Or "Shy" About It // by FluttershyGuy1293 //------------------------------// *****NOTE TO READERS***** Brace yourselves. . . . there is a plot twist coming! Thanks again for all the positive feed back! Really means alot to me! The next morning I awoke to a shock. By my side was Fluttershy! She was snuggled against my chest just like one of her coltfriends! I thought to myself. Just like a track runner my mind began to race. So many questions started to pop in my head like: why is she hear by me? Why don't I remember her lying down next to me? All of these questions would soon be answered. Fluttershy was starting to move. She was still snuggled up against my chest. I couldn't help but think "d'awww!" "Good morning sleepy head." I said ever so gently so not to disturb her. "Hmm. . ." To this wake up call she decided to nudge her nose into my chest more with her eyes closed. She then started to open her eyes. She bolt upright upon seeing where she was at. She was now standing over by her bed. "Oh. . .um. . .good morning (sqee)." I could tell she was embarrassed because she was scuffing her floor with her hoof when she was talking to me not making any eye contact. "Sleep well?" I asked with a goofy smile on my face. "Y. . .yes it was very. . .peaceful." "That's good." "So. . .um. . .to. . .to get this out of the way. . .you're probably wondering why I was . . .sleeping by your side this morning right?" "Yes. . ." I said with a little worry in my voice. "Well. . .last night after you said good night to me. I decided to I check on my animals before I went to bed. When I got back I saw you. . .sleeping. I thought nothing of it until I was. . . .getting into my bed. When I was just about to fall asleep myself. . .I saw you shivering. . .so I went to get you another blanket. . .but realized I didn't have any. Foalish right? Anyway. . .when I discovered that there was no more blankets . . .I thought of the next best thing. I decided to use my body heat to help . . .warm you up, but before I new it . . .I was fast asleep as well." She then went a light shade of red in her cheeks. "So your telling me that the reason you were with me this morning was because you wanted to share your body heat with me to make sure I was Warm enough?!" "Y. . .yes. . .your not mad are you?! I'm sorry if you are." "Mad? How could I be mad? That's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me! Thank you!" I gave her a hug right after that to show her my gratitude of the situation. "So. . .I was going to go make some waffles for us to eat for breakfast this morning. . .is that okay with you?" "That sounds great Flutters!" Realizing I said the nickname I gave her back on earth I went red in my face for once instead of Fluttershy. "While I'm making that you can go clean yourself up in my bathroom." "Um. . .are you sure? I don't want to over stay my welcome." "Yes I'm sure. It's not everyday someone gets to write to the princess and possibly meet her." She says with a small light giggle at the end. Heart don't fail me now! Oh crap! That's right! I forgot I was writing to the princess today! I thought to myself. "Um. . .Fluttershy were you ever nervous writing your first letter to princess Celestia?" "Oh my yes! Of course I was! It's not everyday that you get the chance to write to the ruler of Equestria. . .or possibly even meeting her!" "Um. . .then your right I probably go and get cleaned up." **ten minutes later** "Come on Daniel we don't want to be late!" Fluttershy called. "Coming!" I yelled as I was drying off. "So. . .Fluttershy. . what exactly are we going to write to princess Celestia about me?" "Um. . . to be honest with you. . . I wasn't really sure." **thirty minutes of walking later** "Is this it?" I asked. "Um. . . yea. . . it is." said Fluttershy with a sound of I'm sorry in her voice. This made me nervous for some reason, but I couldn't put my finger on it. We could both see the Library tree off in the distance. But as we were getting closer I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy about meeting at the tree. Why was it that Twilight wanted to meet up the next day to write a letter to the princess? I very well know that she could have written one up last night when we first met. Unless. . . . . . "IT'S A TRAP!" I thought to myself. As we were getting closer to the door of the tree(which was about 20 feet away now)I just happened to peer in through the window. To my surprise I saw princess Celestia and about twelve of her royal guards all holding what looked to be a giant net of some kind. "Oh horse apples! I gotta get the buck outta hear!" I thought to myself. "What is it that they have planned for me?!?! Were they going to experiment on me or just get rid of all together?! Well I'm not sticking around to find out! I said to myself. After realizing what was going on I made a break for it. I ran as fast as my legs could take me to the Everfree Forest. I thought that it would be the perfect spot to hide. Unfortunately the other ponies noticed my break for freedom and soon were on the chase. Twilight was running along side the princess, Applejack had her rope along with her dog Winona, Fluttershy was somewhat yelling "OhmygoodnessOhmygoodness!" While Rainbow Dash was right by her side, Rarity had a rain coat on to match the rain that started to downpour on us all, and Pinkie Pie had of all things. . . her party canon! I guess she could use it as a real canon too. At least that's what I've heard, but I didn't want to find out. As I was just entering the Everfree Forest I hear Twilight say "hurry up gang! We don't want him to get to far into the Everfree Forest or we won't be able to find him!" "Don't ya worry yourself Twilight. That's what Winona's hear for! Unless she looses his sent she'll find him in no time!" I heard Applejack say. "good! Because the princess wants that human captured for study!" With all of that being heard I ran even faster in the forest until i came across a fast flowing river. "Perfect!" I said. Realizing that the river can make Winona loose my sent I jumped into the freezing water and started to swim across to the other side. I watched them in the shadows of my new environment completely naked because of my clothes drying out on a nearby tree. Luckily for me the rain let up and all I saw was the group of ponies loosing their line of site of me in the forest. Once the ponies were out of my site I ended up finding a tree to sleep in very similar to what Rainbow Dash does in her free time. I also managed to scavenge for food like berries, insects, and other food sources that my new mother nature provided for me. All was well until I realized that the supply of food soon ran out within the next week. So this told me that I needed to scavenge a different area for food. I was to tired to do so at the time and decided to wait until the next day to start looking. All I could think of was "thank Celestia that I'm an Eagle Scout or I'd already be dead by now."
