Fluttershy has just landed on the ground for the first time, and my goodness, everything is so different! But when and how will she get back home? And what is that wingless pony doing in the middle of nowhere?
Young Fluttershy learns that even though she can't fly well, she can do a lot of things that most pegasi can't. Just like the earth ponies. Appleshy friendship. Hopefully canon compliant.
It could use a more definite ending, but it's cute and I liked it. I'll be adding it to some groups so other folks can read it.

Thanks for commenting and adding it to some groups (I'm kind of new to this site so I don't really know how to add stories to groups yet). And don't worry, there's 3 more chapters to go.

Oh! Not sure how I missed that "Incomplete" tag... Derp!
Well, this has peaked my interest.

Sorry, I meant Piqued
How did AJ get from Manehattan to Ponyville so quickly?
5298580 She moved at the speed of plot!
Actually, I don't know how far away Manehattan is from Ponyville. It seems like you can travel to anywhere in Equestria within a day.
Cute.
Myomancy! No, wait, that's muscle magic...
"Malliamancy" or "Capillomancy" is hair magic.

Ah, good to know.

I think the '-mancy' suffix actually refers more specifically to forms of divination than actual magical action, which is such a widespread mistake that it is usually accepted when inventing magic-practice words.
'-turgy' would be a more appropriate suffix, given that it means "work" as opposed to -mancy's "prophet".
So, cappillaturgy would be even more appropriate and needlessly obscure!
So sweet- I loved it! I think you did a great job keeping everyone in character, and the friendship between AJ and FS was awesome. I also liked how you took a few liberties with the actual storyline, it really worked.
Great job!
I just found this story a short time ago. Absolutely awesome! Wonderfully, masterfully written! The style is wonderfully easy to read and the origin of Fluttershy in Ponyville plus how Apple Jack got her cutie mark had me smiling from ear to ear from beginning to end.
This story gets
10/10!
Beautiful! I look forward to reading the rest of your stories.
Count me in as one of your new and happy followers!

Absolutely adorable slice-of-life, with the charm and style of a real episode. Thank you for writing.
Interesting. I was actually surprised by Applejack getting her cutie mark as she reunited with her family; I remembered it wrong and thought she got her mark right when she looked out the window and saw the rainbow and had her epiphany. But I checked, and I guess I was wrong. This way does work even better with your story.
I do have to agree that Applejack seemed to have gotten to Ponyville awfully quick, if she saw the Sonic Rainboom at the same time as Fluttershy. Did Fluttershy spend so many hours with the animals?
7649572 Thanks for your comment. Yeah, Fluttershy spent several hours with the animals in this fanfic, but you're right that AJ got there a little faster than is plausible.
No d story overalls. It also silly when you know fluttershy real parents ans how shy they were roo lol
8143372 Yeah, I've just come to accept that the show is going to kill my headcanons. Doesn't stop me from writing them.

Why thank you! Good to know my earliest pony fic still holds up.
Granny couldn't have the POS because he disappeared long before she was born.
And there it is this is before season 6 came around when Fluttershy's parents make their introduction including her brother Zephyr Breeze so yep I'm going to have to treat this as an alternate universe which I'm sure it's not because of your date but still I probably have too
Applejack stared at me full in the face. Her tears had stopped flowing, but they still hung in her green eyes. “That’s real sweet of you.” She paused, taking a deep breath and letting it out in a sigh. “My Ma and Pa wouldn’t want me to be sad. I just gotta buck up and get through this somehow.”
“Oh.” She’d lost both parents? My heart went out to her. “Okay, but you don’t have to get through this alone. If you ever want to talk about what happened, I’ll be ready to listen.”
Oh man once again I know this is before season 7 when Applejack's make their introduction as well name pear butter and bright Mac but it's still sad to hear that they're not around and probably they died when she was a little kid
Okay this is a pretty interesting story so it looks like Fluttershy fell to the ground but caught by the butterflies and she never seen anything underground before and then she met up other animals but it looks like she also met a pony named Applejack who just showed up right there she was asking her what was she doing here and Fluttershy explain that she fell from Cloudsdale then Applejack invited her to come over to the house they both open of each other and they talk about their parents which that is so sad but after shortly they finally made it to Sweet Apple Acres and they both finally made it to Granny Smith and Big Macintosh and Applejack wanted to explain that she can't live there anymore because she misses home too much and they understood about that situation and with that they're going to have a little dinner with Fluttershy around I like the interaction with these two I wonder how their friendship will go in their younger years
Oh my God poor bright Mac and pear butter 😭
So it looks like Applejack and her family showed Fluttershy around the farm showing them what they do and what kind of jobs and what kind of animals they have in the farm which she was pretty excited and her ability to talk to animals is really good and then they went to the everfree forest at least not inside but in the edge of the forest and she even told them about what happened to Applejack's parents which that was pretty sad to hear an Apple Bloom is pretty small to not remember but they have each other at least that's what counts as a family
Hmm little did they know that the Pony of Shadow is real Applejack and Fluttershy will see him in season 7 finale
wow that kind of reminds me how Granny Smith scare the pants out of Fluttershy with that story
Well it looks like the days is about to come to an end after they will finish dinner and it looks like Granny Smith was telling them a story which that was like the old story that Applejack told them back in season 4 about the pony of Shadow which the future they will meet him very soon which that scare the pants out of Fluttershy and Big Mac is just basically covering Applejack's ears lol after the story was done Big Mac told a story with it was pretty cute and to be honest I thought when he said the ram I thought it was grogar but I guess it was a different one but anyway morning came around and they look like they're about to get to work on the farm and Fluttershy is a very happy to lend a helping hooves
I don't blame Big Mac I do not like spiders at all they creep me out so much including bugs sorry Fluttershy I just don't like them
Well this was a pretty nice story here and seeing how Applejack and Fluttershy friendship go's and I do like how their interaction goes and how much their abilities grow especially Fluttershy's and also meeting her father even though in the future we did see the mother and father and her brother and once again I had to treat this as an alternate universe but other than that this was a pretty good story and very cute one as well keep up the good work
This was such a lovely story! I really like your interpretation of Fluttershy's Dad and his stare.
AJ learning not to be so stubborn is a really nice touch showing how she'll grow and change.
And oh my gosh, Mac and Apple Bloom stole my heart, what sweeties. n_n
