Shy was running through the forest, following the smell of the breath when she heard a crash just ahead of her, and the closer she got, the more intense and large the crash seemed to get. Just when she thought she couldn't get any closer to such a large crash, she hears one howl, but so large, and so loud, she knew that there was going to be trouble, she quickly ran dead ahead, and burst through the brush, to see Derpy dodging a giant timber wolf, she wondered why she didn't just fly away, when she saw that her wing was in an odd position, Shy thought that Derpy could hold out on her own for a while, so she started to think of a way to stop the Timberwolf.
Shy was desperately thinking of something to do, when she heard a loud crack and a thud, she looked up to see that Derpy had been hit, and was lying on the ground unconscious, the Timberwolf walking over to her about to deliver the final blow when Shy found herself shouting at the top of her lungs "STOP!!!!" How loud it was even surprised her, but the Timberwolf stopped and looked back at her, wondering who wanted to play next, Fluttershy, still terrified of what to do, quickly tried to look brave and said, "H-h-hello, Mr. Timberwolf, uhh, w-w-would you please l-leave, my friend alone? I would greatly appreciate it," The Timberwolf looked at her like she was crazy for a second and growled at her, she then continued, "Well, only if you really want to I guess."
The Timberwolf, looking confused looked between Shy and Derpy, and gave a look as if asking 'Which one would you choose?' but getting no reply to its silent question it looks at the both of them, then decides it wants both and starts to charge at Shy. Now normally anypony getting charged at by a GIANT Timberwolf would turn and run screaming in terror, but Fluttershy, well, she was so terrified that she literally could not move, which made the Timberwolf think this was going to be an easy hunt, but all this time, the only thing that ran through Fluttershy's mind was 'How did I think I could save her?' Scolding herself she thought herself useless against an animal like this one, she was just no match, not even-- Just then, as the Timberwolf was nearly on top of her, she realized, she was not hopeless, as long as she could do this one thing.
The Timberwolf raised its wooden paw and was about to strike when a sudden overwhelming fear took over its body, and it stopped suddenly as Shy looked it dead in the eye, she was so angry that her lover was hurt that it almost seemed like spears were shooting from her eyes. This time, her stare could work on anything, pony, animal, even Discord, who was not affected the last time she used it, but this time, it had sheer hatred shown. After about four or five seconds of a deadly stare, she simply says "Leave." and the Timberwolf does, quickly with its tail between its legs.
Once her opponent was warded off, Shy then carried Derpy on back to her house, she was only glad that she got there when she did, she would be crushed if anything were to happen to Derpy, especially since this is the first time she felt she could live a life of love with her. As Derpy lay unconscious, Shy kept watch over her, making sure she didn't catch fever, and waited for her to awaken, she heard a knock on the door. "Angel, can you go get that?" She said quietly to Angel, who humphs and does so anyway. The moment the door opened not only does Twilight burst into the room, but so does the rest of the crew, all clearly worried for Shy.
"Uhh, hi there guys," Shy says wiping tears off of her cheeks, "What are you all doing here?"
Twilight noticed Derpy laying on the couch and knew instantly why, "Is she the one the Timberwolf we heard was after?"
Shy nods, "Yeah, I was able to get there in time to stop it, but she hasn't woken up yet." Shy starts to cry again, "I'm so useless." She then lays her head down on Derpy, wanting her to wake up, when Applejack walks over to her and puts her hoof on Shy's shoulder.
"It's gonna be all right sugercube, she'll wake up in no time." AJ says, and pitching in Rarity places her hoof on Shy's other shoulder.
"Yes, what Applejack said, I am certain that Derpy will wake up and be back to her old self." Rarity however didn't seem as certain as Applejack did, but it cheered Shy up a little nevertheless.
Just as they were finishing discussing what happened in the forest, Rainbow Dash started going on about a time when she took on a similar situation, and Twilight started to push her out the door and insisted they leave Shy and Derpy alone for now, and that they don't need to put anymore on her mind, and so all the friends left, Pinkie hopping all over the place talking, clearly more to herself, about the kind of dream Derpy would be having right now. Once all the friends were gone, Shy turned around and sat by Derpy again, hoping she would wake up soon.
Night came sooner than Shy though it would, it was a long day for her after all, so she went to bed, making sure Derpy had a blanket on her. Shy kept telling herself that Derpy would wake up soon, but she was also afraid she might jinx it, so she tried not to think to hard about it. She fell asleep surprisingly quickly, though, her dreams brought her no comfort. She dreamed that Derpy never wakes up again and Shy is always by her side making sure that she gets food and water as best she can, and always cries at her bedside every night wanting her beloved to get better, but it never happens. When she woke, she went down to Derpy and prepared a rag to make sure that she didn't catch any disease by being dirty, and as she starts to wipe the dirt off of Derpy, she sees a muscle reaction, and does it again, this time a full on twitch in her leg. Shy tried a third time, however, nothing happened, so she finished cleaning Derpy off, and went to clean the house.
A few hours passed and Shy finally finished her chores, she went inside to get a drink and saw Angel hopping and thumping at the front door trying to tell Shy something, but she didn't want to listen to what anypony, or anybunny, had to say, she continued into the kitchen, and nearly passed out at what she saw. "Y-y-y-y-you're, awake?" She said in shock to Derpy and without thinking jumped at her, hugging her tightly, but Derpy pushed her off and looked at her weirdly.
"Do you have any muffins? Wait, where am I?" Asked Derpy, "And who are you?"
