CHAPTER 19
I opened my eyes. I was on a bed somewhere. I looked over, and Fluttershy smiled.
"Oh, I see you're awake. You collapsed from exhaustion. I told Applejack she shouldn't have worked you so hard."
"Yeah, that's what I thought happened." I groaned as I got up. I was stiff all over, and it hurt to move.
"Oh no! You shouldn't be up and about. You need a few hours to recover."
"Relax, I've been through worse on Earth. I remember one time when my grandparents worked me so hard, I was asleep for two days."
She grimaced at that. I tried to walk down the stairs, but trying to bend my knees was too much, and I fell down right on my rear end.
"See? You need to rest."
"I'm fine." I stood back up, and tried to go down the stairs again, ignoring the sharp pain in my knees.
"Umm... Are you sure you're OK? I would feel awful if you got hurt. Maybe I should go with you..."
"Yeah... That would probably help."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me and Fluttershy walked through the streets of Ponyville. I was making my regular rounds, checking in with Mr. and Mrs. Cake, visiting the library to read and help Twilight with a few spells, and just mill about, wasting my time away. I was in pain the whole time, but that never got me. I just ignored it. Fluttershy was keeping a close eye on me though.
"Listen, you don't need to follow me anymore. I'm fine."
"Well, you're my friend, and I'm worried. I want to make sure you stay fine. it's what friends do."
I sighed. She had me beat there.
"Well, what do you want to do now?" I had nothing else to do, and I didn't want to waste her time.
"Well... I am a little hungry."
"Then let's get something to eat. My treat. You did take care of me while I was unconscious, it's the least I can do."
She smiled. Now to find a restaurant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We stopped into a restaurant that didn't seem familiar to me, but Fluttershy said she ate there all the time, so it can't be that bad.
She order a dandelion sandwich, and I ordered eggs, which were pretty much all I ate... Aside from the occasional apple or apple based dish, or sweets.
We talked about our friends for a little while, Fluttershy being concerned about Rainbow Dash's recklessness, which I dismissed as a thirst for adrenaline. Then, she let something slip out.
"...And this new romance novel-" She let out an embarrassed squeak after saying that. I raised an eyebrow. Romance novel?
"Oh... Don't judge me for liking those sappy books. I already got that from Rainbow Dash a while ago."
"Why would I judge you? I love romance novels. They are full of suspense and passion, and they always have me wondering what will happen next!" I smiled, and she had a big grin on her face. It was obvious that there weren't many ponies with her interests.
"Well, there is this book I wanted to get. It is about a couple who aren't allowed to be together by word of their parents." That sounded very familiar...
"Sounds good. How about I go with you?"
"Sure."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the library, I saw Twilight deep in her books, and Rarity sifting through the shelves. Rarity looked down at us, and smiled.
"Oh, hello Fluttershy. I see you and Kyle are here." The snooty unicorn grinned mischievously. "Are you two on a date?"
The shy ponie's jaw dropped, and she hid behind her mane. I remained perfectly calm, not letting the snide remark get to me.
"No. It just so happens that me and Shy wanted to get the same book, so we came here together. She needs to keep an eye on me anyway. I was out cold from working too hard."
Rarity's grin fell into a frown. She was obviously not satisfied by my reaction. "Well all right then. Twilight! I would like to check out my book..." Twilight looked up from her book, and walked over to the counter. She checked out Rarity's book, and the tailor pony left, glancing at me and Fluttershy quickly before leaving.
"All right, now that SHE'S gone, let's look for the book." We split up, searching all over, until Fluttershy walked over and showed it to me. We took it to the counter.
"Hey, Twilight, Me and Shy would like to check out something."
"All right... But this is a romance novel. Kyle, I didn't know you were into romance!" Twilight smiled at me.
"I'm into a lot of things guys normally aren't into."
"Well, it's nice to see you're open-minded. Enjoy the book!"
Me and Shy walked back to her cottage. At first I wanted to part ways with her and go home, but she insisted I stay with her for the night to finish making my full recovery. I couldn't say no to that face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat with Shy on her sofa, and we read the book together. It reminded me of Romeo and Juliet, only in more modern terms, and with ponies.
Fluttershy began to tear up after we got to the part where Ponio and Foaliett (The nicknames I had given to the main characters of the story) were separated by their parents.
"That's horrible!"
"Yeah, I know. But I think it will get better near the end of the story..." I was hoping it didn't end like Romeo and Juliet did, or I was going to have to console Shy for hours.
Fluttershy yawned, and she laid down, folding her legs under her. She eventually drifted off to sleep. Good thing to, we were getting to the really sad parts. I closed the book after marking the page. I looked back at her. She looked adorable when she slept.
I patted her on the head, and closed my eyes. Today turned out pretty well, and I got to know Fluttershy a lot better. But now, it was time to get some rest.
so...much... D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Daaaw.
I bet the book ends like romeo and juliet though......
Just a dude chillin' out with ponies. Bastard. Hope we don't get any weird shit!

There will NEVER be any... "Weird" stuff. This will remain a completely appropriate story. The things that will be the most sexual will probably be little shreds of romance. Other than that, nothing.
So Kyle goes from talking to Big Mac about dating Fluttershy to hanging out with her all day and staying with her overnight?
Expecting some Big Mac jealousy soon...
Ohh horse apples you made me stay up to 1:am

Well, she wanted to make sure I was OK. It was supposed to be one of those "Hang out with a friend and discover more about them" chapter. I learned Shy was into romance novels like I am. But that is a good idea... Have Big Mac practically stalk me to make sure I don't make a move on Shy... THIS WILL BE DONE... Maybe.
I would of laughed if Big Macintosh walked by the window while they were eating and saw them
Alright, il follow this. But consider making chapters longer, not just for having more to read, but for helping the storyline. Every problem is solved much to quickly, and it feels rushed. Even with the cliffhangers, its solved right at the beginning of the next chapter. Longer chapters makes for better development, and really makes the story seem to have a point. Also, kyles not very sad about leaving earth. There might be more of that in the future though. Try to make a prominent surrounding plot so we can feel like the story is moving somewhere, that would help with the fast problem solving too. Just some of my thoughts, dont keel me.
hm, he eats eggs (which is pretty much meat) and a species of herbivores are ok with it? I'm not trying to criticize, it's just that i'm writing my first fic and I am trying to add several species in (other talking animals that may be found across equestria like a northern nation of wolves and bears and a southern nation of reptiles) but i'm having trouble finding a way for some of the animals that eat meat (one of the wolves for example) to coexist with what its people might consider food.
His grammar could use some help.

What do you mean? If you mean any of the missing words, that isn't MY fault. I make sure that all the words are there, but when I publish a chapter, BOOM! Random names and words are cut out.
Why not give the ever so teeming with exitement and joy Pinkie Pie a visit? I think she would like to make some Cupcakes!(If anypony gets that reference then you get the Gold Star of Pinkietude!)
"Oh, hello Fluttershy. I see you and Kyle are here." The snooty unicorn grinned mischievously. "Are you two on a date?"
*unamused voice* aw, you bitch...
I have a horrible feeling big mack saw this or found out or something if he did im gonna lol so hard
during this chapter i thought big mac might see then and be like "Oh Hell No!"
86265 The ponies eat eggs. That's how they make cakes and other pastries. That's why Fluttershy has chickens. (Logically speaking of course) Besides even vegetarians can eat eggs without killing anything. People don't eat fertilized eggz. If you don't take the unfertilized ones then the chickens will either leave them to rot or they'll throw them out.

169605 Ha ha, I was thinking that the whole time as well
I am almost certain Big Mac is gonna flip. A bitch at him
