"Fluttershy has never been the most confident of ponies; so, when she finds herself introduced to some deep-seated feelings for one of her closest, longtime friends, she's understandably unwilling to act for fear of losing a friend.

Of course, Fluttershy has other friends.

Friends that won't let her let the opportunity pass her by.

After all, sometimes all a pony needs is some gentle nudging."

Pinkie Pie is Fluttershy’s sun.
