"Go away!" Fluttershy squealed. "Oh..um..if you don't mind..that is."

The timber wolves just growled, and encircled them more. Their eyes were narrowed, with a sharp glint of anger in them. They seemed to be saying, "This is our territory. And until you learn how to respect that - then you'd best stay clear."

Pinkie Pie looked around desperately. She was only a little filly, and her family was miles away. There was not a single pony in sight, for twenty miles, possibly. She gulped and said, "Fluttershy! Use your wings!"

Fluttershy shook her head sadly.

"Why not?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Fluttershy just shook her head once more.

"It's our only hope!" the pink pony screamed.

Fluttershy shut her eyes tight, and muttered, a little too soft, "I can't."

Pinkie Pie's eyes shot open wide. "What?" she asked, half asking not-believingly and half not-hearing right.

"I can't fly!" Fluttershy replied. "And I don't want to try in case somepony comes and laughs at me. "

"Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie shouted. She shook Fluttershy with all her strength, causing the filly to go dizzy. 

Ditzy eyed, and her head spinning, Fluttershy said, "I'm sorry, Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie Pie gulped. She stood up, on her two hind legs, her front hooves high in the air - and bent. 

"Don't you dare touch Fluttershy!" she shouted, half stammering. She professionally kicked a timber wolf, and it flew back, bashing against a rock.  

The timber wolf was angered even more. And so were the others. They surrounded the two fillies even more, so much that they had no where to run or hide. 

"I said -" Pinkie Pie continued to threaten. "N-Nopony touches me or my friend!"

She stood in front of Fluttershy. The timber wolves were not afraid. They pounced on her, and after a moment of wrestling, Pinkie Pie had scared it away. 

She felt more confident and grinned, saying, "Come on! Stay back!"

Another timber wolf attacked her, and as she easily held it back, another attacked her by surprise. It pounced on her, and made her unconscious.

Fluttershy screamed, trembling and shaking like a leaf. 

Fluttershy looked desperately around. "P - Pinkie Pie?" she asked, shaking her unconscious friend.

Pinkie didn't answer. She lay on the ground, a perfect victim for a great feast. 

The timber wolves snarled, and slowly made their way towards Fluttershy.

Fluttershy squeezed her eyes, ready for a place nopony should go. Especially not a filly.

Then suddenly, she remembered Pinkie Pie was in danger, and she opened them at once. She raised herself to full height (standing on all fours, unlike Pinkie) and cried out, "How dare you. How DARE YOU!!!"

Her gentle voice now turned into a dark witch-craft one. It echoed around, complete with the rumbling of thunder, and crashing of lightning. 

The timber wolves weren't afraid just yet. They growled, and continued en-circling her.

"Nopony - I said NOPONY hurts my friend!" Fluttershy screamed. "NNNOOOPPOOONNYY!!!!!"

Pinkie Pie was awoken, by the loud and booming shout. She was dazzled, when she saw her friend standing up to the timber wolves.

"LEAVE HER ALLOOONNNEEE!!!!" Fluttershy screamed. She opened her eyes very wide, and a force came out of them, shooting at the timber wolves.

Pinkie looked on with wonder and admiration, as the timber wolves backed away, a little ashamed of themselves. At last, they turned and leapt back into the Everfree Forest. 

"Whew! You rock, Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie squealed, as she waved around a foam finger.

Fluttershy was panting, and all pale and white. "What have I done?" she asked. "Oh my, what's happen to me?"

"That was great!" Pinkie Pie giggled.

Fluttershy shook her head. "I - I'm sorry, Pinkie Pie. I didn't mean -- I didn't -" she muttered.

"Whaddya mean, Fluttershy?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Come here, you!" She hugged her new found filly friend. 

"So - you're not --" Fluttershy whispered, fearfully.

Pinkie Pie giggled, "Of course not, silly! You were great!"

"But..um..I thought I was a monster," Fluttershy replied.

"Oh, Fluttershy," Pinkie Pie sighed. She looked to the sky, and gasped, "Oh no!"

"Oh my..what's wrong, Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked, the fear gliding its way back into her eyes. 

"It's NINE o'clock! Daddy and Mummy will be wondering where I am!" Pinkie Pie shrieked.

Fluttershy smiled and said, "Don't worry, Pinkie. You can stay at my house."

"Really?!" Pinkie Pie asked. She suddenly sprung four feet in the air. "Woohoo! You're my very best friend, Fluttershy!"

"One and only," Fluttershy replied. She led Pinkie Pie back to Ponyville, back to her home.

"Come on, Pinkie Pie, it's going to be...um..late?" Fluttershy whispered. 

Pinkie Pie stepped into the house. "Wow! This is a lot nicer home than mine! Can I stay for the --"

"Of course, Pinkie," Fluttershy interrupted, smilingly. "You can have the guest room - on the second floor."

"Weeew-heeew!" Pinkie Pie sang. "Thanks, Fluttershy!"

As the day ended, the two fillies were happily dreaming of their adventures with each other. Little did they know it was only the beginning, not the end.

((There's no romance, or shipping, just in case. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are BBFs - best friends. I don't support shipping, so this is only friendshipping.))
