I've never seen a place that's quite like this. Everything is turned around; this crazy world is upside down.

When a ferocious blizzard brings winter to Ponyville, Rainbow Dash ends up stuck at Fluttershy's cottage for the night. Through some quality time together, though, and with the help of some insightful words, this unscheduled sleepover might just turn into the exact eye-opening experience that Rainbow Dash didn't know she needed.

Great story! I really enjoy it when Fluttershy shows her strength.

Strength comes in many forms. And all of them are valid. :eeyup:

This was a pretty nice little character piece that not only shows Fluttershy's inner strength, but also showcases Rainbow Dash's loyalty. Not once was Dashie concerned about her own well-being. She was worried about her best friend doing something reckless (and no, the irony is not lost on me :ajsmug: ). Perhaps the drive to perform your special talent is something she already knew, but because she didn't want Flutters to get hurt, that took precedence over all else.

Of course, Fluttershy's drive is worth mentioning as well. It's something that's often overlooked about such a shy, introverted character who's afraid of her own shadow. But, perhaps she's stronger than she appears. If Dashie didn't know that before, she certainly knows that now. :twilightsmile:

What else can I say? This was masterfully done. :moustache:

Me too! People are too keen to play her meek side.

You pretty much got everything out of it that I intended. Can't ask for much more than that. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is really awesome! I just LOVE it when someone portrays Fluttershy as more than just a little timid pony. She's my favorite. :yay:

She may not be my favourite, but she's a close second. Gotta write her right!

Hmm well, I like it a lot. Pretty inspiring stuff.

Glad you think so!

Pretty cute... And also deep... Its some intersting stuff and I like it... To bad its just a oneshot but at the same time its beautifully done....

Add me to the "great to see Fluttershy portrayed like this" pile. :yay: A simple story, well told and satisfying. I liked that!

Wow. This was so sweet.
I guess I am in a weird mood right now, probably because the weekend was so gray and rainy, or because I listened to Come Home Soon by Joaftheloaf while reading this, but this beautiful and heartwarming piece seriously made me cry. Maybe, though, it's just that I really envy Dash and Fluttershy for their deep bond. I really want a friend who would be like that for me.
Anyway, thank you for this beautiful story.:fluttercry::fluttershyouch::pinkiesmile:

Ow. My feels. That did something to my eyes too.

It's interesting. This brushes up against Tanks for the Memories, and yet to bring it in line with canon would require only two tiny dialogue changes. Timelessness! (?)

Fluttershy cantered to the kitchen as she said, “No, I think she’ll be more comfortable if it’s just me there. You understand, right?”

“But can you look after the animals when I’m gone?”

“Uh yeah sure I’ll try”
