Chapter 3
Doctor Fluttershy
As the ponyville train entered Canterlot train station, ponies started coming out of the train and one of them being Fluttershy. As soon as she came out she flew throw Canterlot and stopped near the palace gates. As she came close to the gates the guards at the gate pointed their spears that they were holding to her “Halt who goes there!”
“Uh F-fluttershy” She whispered and backed up from the spears.
“Who?” the guard on the left said.
“F-fluttershy” she whispered again.
“Who?” The guard on the right said.
“I think should leave” she said and started to walk away. But a purple alicorn soon spotted Fluttershy leaving the gates and flew over to her.
“There you are Fluttershy, we were at the train station looking for you but got distracted by Pinkie who wanted to throw a party for some random ponies birthday who also came out of the train. Come on I will tell you why we brought you here” Twilight said and grabbed Fluttershy’s hoof and walking to the gates again.
When the guards saw Twilight, they both stepped to the side for them to go through. When walking Twilight started to tell her why she was brought here. After talking for awhile, the found themselves in the throne room to see Cadence, Shining armor, and the Sun goddess her, Celestia.
“Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy welcome back, so do you know why you are here Fluttershy” Celestia asked with a smile.
“Uh… kind of, all I know it that I need to talk to this one pony and Cadance will explain more” she said
“That I will Fluttershy, please follow me” Cadence said with a soft smile and walking to her.
When Fluttershy and Cadence were about to leave the throne room, Shining went in front of them “Be careful” he said then gave a quick kiss on Cadence’s forehead.
“Don’t worry about me ok” Cadence said as she and Fluttershy left. As they
entered the hallway, she started to explain to why Fluttershy is here.
“Ok Fluttershy, the reason you are here is because I think you are the only pony to make him tell his tale. You managed to tame Discord and I think this is the perfect job for you. I need you to talk to my brother”
“Brother!? I never knew you had a brother. Twilight never mention you having a brother”
All Cadence was laugh at that “Well she never knew because he doesn't want anypony to know that he exist. All he wants in life is to be off the grid, just explore Equestria. He had a very” But she stopped when Fluttershy asked her a question.
“What’s his name?”
“Oh?! Twilight never told you his name did she” All she got was a nod. “His name is Blaze peak”
“So why is Blaze here instead of traveling Equestria like you said before?” Fluttershy said
“Well that is what he wants to do, but I think he needs help but he always refuses it. I did put a tracking spell on him a couple years back and when I found somepony like you I would bring him back here. But then the spell broke somehow and that spell was a very strong one that he couldn't break” Cadence said.
“Do you know how he broke the spell?”
“I don’t know how maybe you” but Cadence stopped when she heard yelling coming down a hallway. Both Cadence and Fluttershy looked to see two guards, both unicorns, one has a coat color of white and the other blue.
“Why did he attack me when he knows that he is in the princess castile!” the guard who was white said.
“I- I have no clue lieutenant Armstrong” the blue one said.
“Now you listen here Nightblade, I know that princess Celestia and Cadence put you as the guard that devil of a pony but right now I want answers from you on why he tried to kill me!” Armstrong yelled.
‘cough’
Both Nightblade and Armstrong turned around to see a pissed of Cadence and Fluttershy who was behind her scared from the yelling. “So what are you saying about my brother lieutenant” Cadence said with a raised eyebrow.
“Uh nothing your majesty. Nothing at all about your brother at all” said a scared Armstrong.
“Really because I could swear that you called my brother a devil” Cadence said with fire in her eyes. All Armstrong did was back up a little until he felt his flank on the wall. Cadence came closer a whispered into his ear “You talk shit about my brother again and I swear to Celestia that you will be in a much darker place with my brother. Understand!” she said with a smile “Now don’t you have anything else to do than being here?” Armstrong sprinted away from the group to go guard somewhere else. “Now that he is out of the way please tell me why he was here”
“He wanted to talk to your brother and he went inside the room where he is staying” he pointed to a door that had a sign saying ‘Don't enter’
“I tried to stop him but he punched me in my eye causing a black eye to appear” When Cadence looked closer she can now see a black eye starting to form in his right eye. “Then five minutes later came out with a red lighting bolt chasing him” Nightblade then pointed to part of the wall that had a black scorch mark on it.
“I see. Well can you open the door?”
“Princess! You can’t be serious! I don’t think he will want any” but he stopped by an unexpected voice.
“I would like to talk to him” Fluttershy said.
“Fluttershy?! Are you sure you want to talk with him. I mean the way Nightblade talked about Blaze, I don’t think he would want to talk to anypony” Cadence said with a worried tone and eyes wide.
Fluttershy just nodded “I know what I’m doing Princess. If I can tame an angry dragon and Discord the lord of chaos, then I think I can handle him” she said with a soft smile”
“All right you can go but please be carefull. Nightblade open the door!” Nightblade nodded and use his magic to open the door. Fluttershy entered the door and then it closed. Cadence let out a small sigh “You're going to need it”

Blaze was in a bathroom looking at a mirror without his bandanna covering his eyes that had tears. “Why do you haunt me Snow. I loved you but I will never forgive you” Then he punched the mirror making it crack.
“Uh hello anypony here?” said a voice
Blaze raised his ears from hearing that and turned his head to the door of the bathroom. “I guess that’s Fluttershy” He used his magic to put his bandanna over his eyes and went to the door to meet Fluttershy.
***
Fluttershy was in the middle of a white room. It had a couch, a small table, a desk, and a bed. She was about to say something but somepony else spoke. “I guess your Fluttershy?” Blaze said with a raised eyebrow.
“EEP” Fluttershy yelled and hid behind the couch.
Blaze just laughed at her for hiding. “Don’t worry, I won't hurt you. My name is Blaze but you probably know who I am”
Fluttershy raised her head slowly to see Blaze with his red bandanna covering his eyes but what caught her attention was the metal on his hooves. “Oh my! What happen to you hooves!?
Blaze looked at his metal hooves than back at her “Uh they are made of metal that is what happen to my hooves, didn't sis tell you about then?” All Blaze got was a nod saying no “Alright then, let’s talk” He started to move to the couch and Fluttershy can now see the rest of him and his pink skin. As he sat down he then looked at her to see her eyes wide.
“Wha… How... “ was she can say about his skin.
Blaze titled his head in confusion on how she was talking then realized why she was talking like that. “Oh! I guess she also didn’t explain about my skin” He then let out a sigh “It is something that I really wish not to talk about ok. Plus I also think that is the reason you are hear, to talk about my past”
“Uh actually, I wanted to ask you something that is not about your past” Blaze titled his head again in confusion “I want you to tell me about my past” Fluttershy said with a smile.
“Are you sure you want to talk about your past?”
“Oh I’m sure if it is ok with you?” she said with a soft smile.
“Ok” Blaze now rested his head on the couch “So how was your childhood?”
Fluttershy’s ears dropped when she heard that even though she knew it was coming. She then let out a sigh “My childhood was horrible”
“Horrible how?” Blaze said in a causally tone.
“Horrible as in I never knew my parents. I always moved from orphanage to orphanage until I met my adopted father who was the head of the summer flight camp that me and my best friend Rainbow dash went to.” she said with tears starting to form.
“I see. What was the stallion's name”
“His name was Cri” but she stopped when she noticed Blaze get up and looked at her in the eyes.
“Never say that name to me understand!” Blaze yelled to her and she cringed in fear at his outburst.
He then noticed what he did and sat back down “I’m sorry Fluttershy, It’s just when I hear that name I just” but stopped when he felt a hoof on his mouth.
“It’s ok, I didn’t know about that. Cadence did say that you had a tragic past but I didn’t know about how you would react to that name. Can you forgive me” she said with a soft smile.
“Of course I will forgive you, but right now, how about we continued to talk about” but was stopped by a loud ringing sound. He then glanced at a clock that was in his room and it said it was 7:00. “I guess we better get some sleep before we talk more ok. It was nice to meet you Fluttershy” After saying that he went into the bathroom leaving her all by herself.
“Uh… Goodnight?” Said a Confused Fluttershy.

Armstrong was walking in the halls of the castile to reach the barracks so he can get some sleep. “Stupid guard post, Stupid rules on how to handle prisoners” he kept mumbling to himself. As he turn the corner he noticed somepony looking outside at the night sky. “Hey what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to heading to the barracks like the rest of us?”
The pony turn around and now he can make out what the pony looked like. He was a earth pony stallion but didn’t have any of the royal guard armor and wore a vest. His coat was jet black, his mane was red with two lines of pink, and his eyes were glowing green. “Hello there, I want to ask you a favor?” he said.
“Uh what would that be stranger?” Armstrong said with a raised eyebrow.
“Sniff this flower” he said and he grab a flower from a pocket that was from his vest and put near Armstrong’s face.
“Uh Okay” Armstrong went closer and sniffed it. “Huh smells like cherries” Then he heard something moving in the flower, before he moved away something went up in his nose. He fell down to the ground and started to twitch and roll back his eyes.
The pony with the flower laughed “Yes my child take him, and make him your brother” Armstrong stopped twitching and blood was starting to come out of his nose then he stood up looking at the strange pony. “Who do you serve?”
“You, my father” said Armstrong with his eyes glowing green.
