> Yuki no Naka no Tenshi > by Seanzilla115 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Night after the Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light began to pour into the room through blinds as it shined down on a large king sized bed, which looked pretty messy at the moment. A figure happened to be wrapped up under the covers and was groaning a bit when the light hit the ‘lump’ under the covers. The figure placed her hand on her head, she had a massive migraine that made her head feel like it was being crushed by a vice. “...my head…” the ‘lump’ under the bed groaned as it poked it’s head out a bit, revealing a girl around 16-17 years of age with neck length pale pink hair, she was currently wearing pink pajamas that had images of cupcakes on them, but also had some other items on her, being some earrings and a collar of sorts, “Mou...wh-what happened last night?” “Hiya Fluttershy, sleep well?” a cheerful voice asked, making the pale pinkette wince a bit. “Pinkie...not so loud,” Fluttershy whimpered, “My head really hurts.” “Oh… sorry,” Pinkie apologized as she walked over, showing her pink top, baby blue short shorts, thigh high pink and white socks, “Man...that was some party last night, huh?” Fluttershy rubbed her head a bit as she sat, “Uh… I guess?” “Yeah. I mean, you should’ve seen Rainbow and Twilight. Heh… they’re funny while drunk.” “S...wait. Drunk?” Fluttershy blinked, “I thought you Pinkie Pie Promised to never bring alcohol to any of your parties, ever,” “I did. I don’t know what the heck happened to bring alcohol,” Pinkie informed, giving a sheepish look, “Luckily, Rarity knew a spell that fixed them before they did anything. Oh, by the way, your costume is in the laundry room. I found it lying around on the ground… great job imitating Sailor Moon’s outfit. You acted like her perfectly too.” “Arigato(thank you),” Fluttershy smiled, before she held her head in pain, “Ite...Pinkie, do you have anything for headaches?” “Let me check. Oh, and by the way, you’re welcome for the pajamas,” Pinkie informed as she skipped out. Fluttershy looked to see the pajamas that she was in, but was at a total blank for why it was she was in them and as to why she wasn’t home. The pinekette searched her memory, however most of it was a giant blank. All she remembered was coming to the party with her boyfriend… and that’s it. Just one big giant blank. “Pinkie?” Fluttershy asked as she slowly tried to follow her, “Wh-wh-where’s Silver-kun?” “Oh? He went home some time after you two disappeared last night,” Pinkie informed. “I see…” Fluttershy noted as she slowly walked out, holding her still throbbing head. “Yup. Strange thing...he had the same headache you have,” Pinkie added.. Fluttershy arrived at the first floor and saw some of the decorations were still around, “...you said we just disappeared. What happened?” “Well… it all started after we figured out Dashy and Twilight were drunk…” Pinkie began as she began to make a flashback sound effect. --- “H-hey Dash...h-hic! how’re ya?” Twilight asked in a drunken manner, a faint blush on her face as she was dressed as a stereotypical stage macian. “I’m d...doing f-hic! fine Twilight Sp...sparkles…” Rainbow chuckled drunkenly, the tomboy currently dressed as a ninja, “You… hic… l-loo-o-o-ok hot…” “Thanksh...you t...to…hic!” Twilight replied with a hiccup. She walked over and pulled Dash into a kiss, surprising the tomboy pegasus for a bit before she returned it. As they kissed, Dash placed her hands on Twilight’s butt, giving it a firm squeeze, earning a slight surprised gasp from the Alicorn. “...That’s.. shooo good…” Twilight drunkenly smiled. “Heh...glad y...ya like-hic! it…” Rainbow Dash smirked drunkenly. Pinkie skipped on over, currently wearing a Wyldstyle costume and she was walking alongside Sugar Belle, who was wearing a costume of Terra from Teen Titans. “So then I told her that she wasn’t playing a vinyl, she was playing a pancake!” Pinkie told Sugar Belle, making her laugh. “Oh Pinkie, that is hilarious!” Sugar Belle giggled, “You’re so good at jokes.” “You know I’ll be there to smile with you, that’s why they call me laughter,” Pinkie smiled. Before they could do anything else, a young girl walked on over, said girl having pale yellow hair done up in twin pigtails, similar to an odango style, was wearing a sailor fuku like outfit, the skirt being a bright pink, white gloves with the upper half being pink, pink boots, feathers atop a small part of her head, two red orbs of sorts to hold her hair in place, and a small yellow tiara with a red gem atop her head. “Ano… Pinkie-san?” “Hmm?” Pinkie blinked as she looked down at the young girl, “Yes, Timid? “Twilight-san and Rainbow-san are acting funny… and what happened to the cherry punch? Some people are saying it tastes funny…” the girl, Timid, informed. “Taste funny?” Sugar Belle repeated. “H...hai,” Timid nodded, “I don’t know how…” “...alright, uh… Sugar Belle, can you go ask about the punch? I’m gonna go and see what’s up with Twilight and Dashy,” “Alright,” Sugar Belle nodded as she headed off one way, and Pinkie the other. Pinkie passed by Fluttershy and her boyfriend, the two dressed as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask respectively as they talked. --- “That was the last time any of us saw you last night. After Rarity fixed Twilight and Rainbow and after we dumped out the punch, you two were nowhere to be found. We looked for you both for hours, eventually we had to stop and the others went home,” Pinkie explained, “I found you at about 1:40 in the morning, put you in some of my spare pajamas and let you sleep. What happened anyway?” “...I wish I had an answer Pinkie,” Fluttershy admitted, twirling a lock of her hair as Pinkie brought her a glass of water, “I really wish I did.” “Maud did end up finding Silver Hawk and took him and Timid back to their home,” Pinkie informed as she finally found some headache medicine, “Had to give Silver something for his stomach since he threw up.” “Th...threw up?” “Whatever it was somebody used in place of my cherry punch didn’t agree with him I guess,” Pinkie shrugged as she handed the medicine to Fluttershy, “So… do you remember anything before you woke up?” “No. Nothing at all,” Fluttershy replied before tapping her chin a bit, “Though...something did slightly come up...honey.” “Honey?” “It’s blurred like an old TV, but I can just faintly remember Silver-kun saying something about honey…” Fluttershy informed, before she sighed, “...thanks for keeping an eye on my Pinkie. I owe ya,” “Think nothin’ of it. It’s just what friends do,” Pinkie giggled, “I’m gonna call up Rainbow so she can take you home, k?” “O...ok,” Fluttershy nodded as she took a seat. --- Dash paced around in worry, the rainbowette currently in a cyan top, black bike shorts underneath a white skirt, white socks, and red running shoes. “Come on… where are you?” Dash whispered as she attempted to call up Fluttershy, but it didn’t go through, likely due to Fluttershy’s phone being out of power, “Please pick up, Flutters…” Suddenly, her phone began to ring, but it was from Pinkie’s house. “...tch, this better be important Pinkie,” Dash muttered as she answered it, “What is it, Pinkie?” -Hey, Dashie. Just wanted to let you know that Fluttershy is here with a wicked headache- Pinkie informed -Maud would’ve given her a ride home, but she’s out right now- “On my way!” Dash said quickly as she hung up and got the keys for her car. --- Fluttershy picked up her costume and took off the accessories for it, undoing the ondongo pigtails so her hair would fall back down to its original shape, “Ano… why didn’t you take these off me?” “I didn’t wanna risk waking you up,” Pinkie informed, “Oh, by the way, what did you think of my Wyldstyle costume?” “Oh...uh, I thought you looked nice.” “Thank you!” Pinkie beamed, making Fluttershy wince a bit, “Oops..sorry. By the way, loved your costumes! They were really good,” “Thanks. We decided to dress up as a couple that got together, a couple we thought off but ended up not using are Inuyasha and Kagome, Naruto and Hinata, and then Shinnosuke and Kiriko,” “Those two hooked up? When?” “Last two episodes. They were confirmed to eventually be married and Tomari Eiji is confirmed to be their son from the future, even though the one we saw in Surprise Future was actually Ichi-Zero-Hachi and-” “No spoilers!” Pinkie hissed, making sure to not scream, “I’m still far behind.” “Oh...ano, sorry.” “...It’s cool. I just got up to the episode where Chase became a Rider again. He’s so awesome…” Pinkie giggled, “Bit of a shame he doesn’t have an insert theme. I really would’ve loved to hear Psychic Lover be the ones to perform a theme for him. One that could’ve triple acted for his three forms.” Fluttershy nodded, “Guess they were busy doing StarNinger’s theme. Not that I have a problem with that.” “Yeah. I mean, it’s cool that Psychic Lover does quite a few songs for Super Sentai and Yu-Gi-Oh, but they hardly did anything for Kamen Rider,” “Don’t forget some of their work for Digimon. I loved ‘Tagiru Chikara’, one of their best songs,” Fluttershy smiled. “I guess we’re a bit of otak-” “NO!” Fluttershy shouted, “That is incorrect!” “...huh?” “Otakus are people who do not leave their homes, like… at all. They’re like people who live in basements, but worse,” Fluttershy explained, “You don’t say that word in the presence of somebody who is actually Japanese, you look like a major baka(idiot) for doing so.” “Oh...sorry about that then,. I should be more careful next time.” Pinkie apologized. “It’s fine… just don’t let it happen again, K?” Fluttershy requested. “Gotcha,” Pinkie smiled, “...so…remind me. How long have you and Silver Hawk been going out again?” “Hmm…four to five months now,” Fluttershy replied, a small smile on her face, “He’s so sweet and kind and caring… he loves me for me and not for my body. And I’m glad with him around… those perverted jocks at school have finally started to leave me alone.” Pinkie nodded and let out an internal sigh, recalling how after Fluttershy had joined cheerleaders, some of the male sports players would try and hit on the poor girl. Fluttershy had declined them, but things began to escalate when they were openly talking about her chest and slapping her rear end in the hallway. Pinkie wanted to block out the memory of the day, but she remembered the day that had finally made Fluttershy quit the team, being a big football game where the players got drunk and decided to try and force the cheerleaders into doing some sexual things. Dash and Sunset were able to buy Fluttershy time to escape, but the shy pinkette refused to leave her house and go to school for weeks, scared out of her wits...she then recalled that one day...the day her shy friend tried to end it all when one boy tricked her into liking him as a sick joke. Her friends were able to get her to the hospital in time, but she didn’t wake up for weeks. When she finally woke up..she met him...Silver Hawk. At the time, he was still learning to be a doctor, so he’d help out with some of the patients from time to time. Pinkie failed to remember what made Fluttershy fall for him, but she was happy Fluttershy finally found someone to love her for who she was. “...Fluttershy. Can you do me a favor?” Pinkie asked. “Hmm? What is it, Pinkie?” “Next time you see Silver Hawk… thank him for making you happy,” Pinkie smiled softly, “You deserve to be happy,” Fluttershy smiled back, recalling how Silver Hawk was there for her the entire time she was in the hospital. “Hey Pinkie!” Dash’s voice called out from outside, “Open up!” “Coming~!” Pinkie called back in a sing songy voice as she skipped to the front door. As soon as she opened it up, Dash ran inside and scooped Fluttershy up into a hug. “Fluttershy! Oh thank god you’re alright!” the tomboy exclaimed in a mix of relief and worry, “...where the heck were you?!?!” “Ow… Onee-chan… bad migraine…” Fluttershy told her, gripping her head in pain. “Oh...sorry,” Rainbow quickly apologized as she let go, “But seriously, where were you? I was starting to worry my flank off.” “...I wish I knew,” Fluttershy admitted, “All I remember was coming to the party with Silver-kun, and the next thing I knew, I wake up in Pinkie’s bed.” “I saw her at like… 1:40 something in the morning, put her in some pajamas and let her sleep,” Pinkie informed. “...I see,” Rainbow noted, “...But whatever. I’m just glad my sis is safe and sound.” “I’ll get the rest of her costume and put it in your car,” Pinkie smiled. --- After waving goodbye to the party pinkette, Dash headed out for the road to get them home. “So, what do you wanna do with this fine Sunday, sis? Play video games? Watch movies? read manga? Whatever you like.” “...honestly, I just wanna take a bath and go back to sleep,” Fluttershy admitted. “...Alright. Suit yourself,” Rainbow shrugged a bit, “I’ll just call AJ to see if she’s free or not. Still have to beat her for breaking my winning streak last week.” “I’m not gonna sleep the entire day away… I just wanna try and sleep off this headache, so… we’ll do something later, sound fair?” “...Alright. Sounds fair,” Rainbow nodded, “...so, how has Silver Hawk been treating you? ...he’s not trying anything funny with you, is he?” “Oh my no. Silver-kun would never do something like that,” Fluttershy replied. “Good...Just need to make sure,” Rainbow stated, “...But...next time you see him, thank him for me.” “Eh?” “For...getting you out of your depression after you woke up from your mini-coma.” Dash smiled. “...I will,” Fluttershy nodded as they stopped by a stoplight, “...so how are things with you and Twilight?” “Doing pretty good, actually,” Rainbow replied, “She’s been helping me with my studies and stuff so I wouldn’t get kicked off the team. She’s also been a great help with Scootaloo.” “Oh? Did mom adopt her?” Fluttershy asked. “...I’ve been thinking… maybe me and Twilight will do it. I’m not sure just yet,” Rainbow sighed a bit, “She and I really love Scootaloo like a daughter…” Fluttershy nodded softly, soon they continued onward. “...so, mind me asking what you and Silver Hawk did on your last date?” Dash asked curiously. “Only if you tell me what you and Twilight did on your last date first,” Fluttershy smiled. “...Ok,” Rainbow shrugged, ”Didn’t do much really. All we did was just head to the library, the local skating rink, a place to grab a bite to eat, then a small walk in the park before heading home.” “Oh. Silver-kun took me to that skating rink on one of our first dates,” Fluttershy recalled, “...as for our date, we just had some Chinese food and then Silver-kun gave my legs and feet a massage… he’s really good at it,” “Didn’t he work at an onsen at one point?” Dash checked. “For a while yes,” Fluttershy nodded, recalling her boyfriend working there to get the money needed for school and medical supplies, “He’s so caring when it comes to the massages he gives. He even makes sure to get the hard spots, but also makes sure not to do it too hard.” Dash just gave a nod before letting out a small sigh, “...can you tell him I’m sorry for the way I treated him after I learned you were starting to fall for him?” Fluttershy winced a bti at that, recalling how…’protective’ Rainbow Dash was around her after that whole attempt at suicide months ago. Dash would visit so much out of both concern for her, and to make sure Silver Hawk wasn’t like those jerks from the football team, or that one guy who tricked her into liking him as a joke. Heck, she’d even spy on the two when they were on dates. The rest of the ride was in silence as they arrived at the two story house they lived at. The place in question seemed pretty decent on the outside with a few bushes and a tree or two out front. Dash opened up the door, revealing that the inside of the place was pretty nice. “Mom, I’m back and so is Fluttershy!” Rainbow called out, only to get silence, “...mom, I just said…” “Ano...look,” Fluttershy spoke up, pointing to a note on the table, “‘Gone shopping, be back soon. Love Okaa-san’.” “Oh….I guess we got the house to ourselves for a bit then,” Rainbow noted, “Why don’t I go on and start up that bath for you?” “...thanks Onee-chan,” Fluttershy smiled. “No prob,” Rainbow nodded as she ran up the stairs to get the bath ready for her sister. Fluttershy just smiled softly at how her sister was willing to do this, even though she was the one that made her worry. While the two weren’t related by blood, she was glad to have Rainbow Dash in her life. --- After about five or so minutes, Rainbow Dash walked back down stairs, a towel and a few clothes in her arms. “Alright. Bath’s ready a-” the tomboy began before she noticed Fluttershy sleeping on the couch, snoozing softly. Dash smiled at the scene before her as she put the towel and clothes down on the table before she walked over, placing a blanket on the currently sleeping pinkette, “Sleep well… I love you, little sis.” “Mmm...Onee-chan…” Fluttershy whispered in her sleep as she moved, causing a bti of her hair to move in front of her face, “...I love you…” Rainbow Dash gave a soft smile as she moved the hair out of Fluttershy’s face, making sure not to wake the shy pinkette up. --- Fluttershy woke up and was enjoying her bath, the pinkette giving off a sigh of relief as she rested in the soothing hot water. She could already feel her migraine slowly melting away as her body rested and relaxed. Though...one thing still floated around in her mind, what exactly happened last night? “Hmm… what… happened?” she mumbled to herself as she held her chin in thought, “I know I came to the party last night with Silver-kun, but I don’t remember anything else past that.” She stared at the mirror in thought, moving a bit of her currently wet hair out of her face, “Hmm… what could’ve happened?...Wait. I think I fairly recall Onee-chan and Twilight-chan acting...funny.” It connected with what Pinkie said happened before the shy pinkette and her coltfriend had vanished. But the question is...where did she and Silver disappear to? “What happened to the two of us?” she asked a little ducky she had floating in the water, giving it a small squeeze, “I see...you got nothing either...mou.” She placed the duck back down and lowered herself a bit in the water, her hair spread out as she leaned her head back. “Hey sis… how are you doing?” Dash asked as she knocked on the door. “Fine, Onee-chan,” Fluttershy replied, “Just...pondering something is all.” “...did Pinkie Pie tell you that me and Twilight somehow ended up drunk?” “Hai,” Fluttershy nodded “I thought she promised to never bring alcohol to her parties,” “She didn’t. Someone switched the cherry punch out with that alcoholic stuff,” Fluttershy clarified, “Demo...who could’ve switched the drinks?” “Probably some jerk looking for an easy lay,” Rainbow frowned. Fluttershy just let out a sigh as she looked to her three duckies in the bathtub with her, she blew some of the bubbles that were in the bath up into the air. “How’s your head?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Much better. Still a bit of pain, but it’s nothing very serious…” “Alright,” Dash smiled, “So… just a curiosity’s sake question. When you have a child… what would you name it?” “...well, I think the name Spring Blossoms or Snow Angel sounds really pretty,” Fluttershy admitted. “If I could have a child, I would totally name her Spectrum Boost,” Rainbow smiled a bit, “And she’d be as awesome as her mom.” Fluttershy giggled a bit as she relaxed in her bath,. “Onee-chan…” the shy pinkette spoke up. “Hmm? What is it?” Rainbow asked “...Nothing. Just thinking about something.” “Oh...okay then. I’m gonna go and get something done, so I’ll leave you alone,” Rainbow stated. “Okay,” Fluttershy nodded. --- Soon, Fluttershy was dressed in yellow pajamas with pink and green butterflies on it, and pink slippers. She slowly walked into the room that she shared with Dash, which was a fairly large with with a pair of twin beds in it, a large dresser, a desk with a laptop on it, a closet that had their dressers in them, and then a book shelf with various manga, anime DVDs, and then various toys from Super Sentai and Kamen Rider on it. Fluttershy smiled softly as she sat down in her bed and cuddled up with a Sailor Moon plushie. Then, for a fraction of a moment, just for a mere fraction of a moment, Fluttershy felt something… funny. She shrugged it off, assuming it was nothing. ...never would Fluttershy be more wrong in her entire life... > Memories > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been two weeks since the party and the group was in school, going about their normal business as the autumn leaves began to fall. “I really love autumn,” Dash admitted as she was walking alongside Twilight, the latter wearing a pair of glasses on her face. She was currently wearing a dark purple vest on top of a baby blue button up shirt, a medium length violet skirt, long violet socks, and black dress shoes, “Almost as much as I love my little meganekko girlfriend,” “...meganekko?” Twilight blinked in confusion. “It means ‘glasses girl’ in Japanese,” Dash explained. “Oh… thank you,” Twilight giggled a bit, a faint blush on her face. “So… do you need those glasses to see? You’ve never told me,” Dash admitted and asked. “Oh...well, kinda yeah,” Twilight nodded. Dash simply nodded back as they continued to walk. “You know you don’t always have to walk me to school. I can take care of myself you know,” Twilight stated to the tomboy. “I know. But it doesn’t hurt to give ya company now and then,” Rainbow shrugged. Twilight giggled softly as she took Dash’s hand into hers, the tomboy blushing a bit before smiling softly at the violetette. “So, how has your part time work with Cadance been?” Dash asked. “It’s been really cool. She always gives the best advice on that radio show,” Twilight smiled, “I really love tuning in to L.O.V.3.” “...still remember that day you filled in for Cadance?” Dash asked. “The day you finally called in and asked for advice…” Twilight giggled. --- “You’re on with the the Crystal Heart of Love, what’s up?” Twilight asked, using a voice modifier to make her voice sound like Cadance. -Uh… I’d… like some advice,- Dash’s voice informed over the call. “Oh? What about?” Twilight asked, recognizing her crush’s voice. -There’s this girl I like…she’s uh...oh man how do I say this? She’s...amazing. She’s smart, pretty, a bit brave and she has very nice glasses that compliment her beauty…- Dash informed. Twilight blushed a bit, “I...I see...ahem. Please continue,” -I really like her. But...everytime I try and confess my feelings to her, I just end up choking… and I’m also scared because… you know, I’m… a girl too…- Dash continued, -I don’t know how everyone will react when they hear me, one of the best athletes in school, is in love with another girl. But in all honesty… I love her. I truly love her with all of my heart, and I just… need some help figuring out how to tell her- Twilight’s entire face was covered with a blush as she looked to the control console, specifically the switch that would turn off the voice modifier. “...Th...that’s easy, Rainbow Dash...I-” -Huh? Wait...how do you know my name?...Wait a minute, that voice…- Twilight turned off the voice modifier and took a deep breath before speaking again, “...it’s me.” -...Twilight?- Dash gawked in surprise, -You’re Crystal Heart of Love?- “No. I’m filling in for her today… she got sick…” Twilight informed, “...did you mean all of that?” -...E...everyword of it- Rainbow replied, her voice almost squeaky sounding when she said that. “...you know what Rainbow? ...I love you too,” Twilight confessed. --- “Did you get into trouble for what you did?” Dash asked. “No. Though, a lot of people did like the advice I gave, Cadance has actually considered letting me host my own section,” Twilight informed as they arrived on school grounds, “And you know what, I might take her up on that offer.” “Really?” Dash smiled. “If I do, you’ll be the first one I tell,” Twilight smiled, “Alright… time for me to get to bio. See you later Bowy,” Dash blushed a tiny bit at the pet nickname Twilight gave her, “Later Twil,” --- It was a normal time for Fluttershy in her math class, the pinkette twirling her pencil a bit, but… she was feeling drowsy, almost on the verge of falling asleep. She looked to her notes and tried to answer a few more questions on her worksheet. but the urge to sleep was to much for her to resist and the pinkette finally dozed off. “Ahem!” the teacher cleared their throat loudly, causing the shy pinkette to shoot up, “I’m sorry, but am I boring you, miss?” “No. N-not at all,” Fluttershy shook her head. “Good. Now please try and stay awake,” the teacher requested. Fluttershy nodded and got back to doing her assignment, but was still sleepy as she did it. She couldn’t help but wonder why she was sleepy though. She had a good night’s sleep last night, but she was sleepy. She looked to her next question, but let out a soft groan about how hard it was. In her mind, the only person who could possibly solve this problem was her friend Twilight, but she was in one of her other classes right now. She then saw a piece of paper float down by her leg and she picked it up, seeing some things written down on it, it looked sort of like how to solve the question, and Fluttershy noticed an inital of ‘S.S’ on it. She looked over at one of her other friends who was hard at work. ‘...Thanks Sunset,’ Fluttershy thought as she got to solving the question. --- After math, Fluttershy walked over to Sunset, the fiery red head wearing a black leather jacket, a yellow and red sun necklace, a sky blue top, a pair of jeans, and black high heels of sorts. “...hi Sunset,” Fluttershy greeted. “Hey,” Sunset smiled. “Ano…” Fluttershy began, making sure nobody else was around before whispering to Sunset, “Thank you for helping me with that question.” “No problem,” Sunset responded as they hugged. Sunset looked at the pinkette for a moment, feeling her heart begin to race. “...Ano, is something wrong, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked before she yawned a little. “...I think I should be asking you that,” Sunset admitted. “What…?” Fluttershy began before she let out another yawn, “What do you mean?” “Well for one, you’re starting to yawn. Did you have a good night’s sleep last night?” “Hai,” Fluttershy nodded before yawning once more. The pinkette wanted to fall asleep, but she was still in school...though she wouldn’t mind finding a nice soft patch of grass to lay down on, “I’m just… sleepy…” Sunset didn’t know what to say or do as she saw Fluttershy was very much on the verge of falling asleep right then and there, the pinkette about to tip over before Sunset caught her in time. Sunset blushed a bit as she pulled Fluttershy back up. ‘She looks so… peaceful,’ Sunset thought as she looked at Fluttershy’s sleeping form. She looked at her for a moment, wanting to leave her be, but they were still in school, “...I better take her to teh nurse’s office to see what’s wrong.” --- Soon, Fluttershy was asleep on a bed like structure in the nurse’s office, the pinkette snoozing softly as she hugged one of the extra pillows given to her. “She was sleepy most of second period and she fell out like a light when I was talking with her,” Sunset explained to the school nurse, “She told me she had a good night’s rest last night, but she kept falling asleep on me.” “I do not know what may be happening to your friend, but sadly her classes she can not attend,” the nurse informed her. “I figured as much...so what should I do?” “She will be able to rest here, so you should tell her teachers, my dear,” she smiled. “Alright…” Sunset nodded, “Thanks Nurse Zecora,” “Not a problem, maybe I can figure out what is wrong with her then,” Zecora stated as Sunset left. --- Much later, Fluttershy began to groan a bit as her eyes began to open up. She wanted to try and sleep a little bit more, but she was unable to do so. Fluttershy let out a groan as she sat up, looking to see Pinkie Pie and Rarity, the latter currently in a white top, a elegent purple skirt, white dress socks, and black dress shoes. “Good to see you, sleepyhead,” Pinkie giggled. “I’m glad to see you’re alright darling,” Rarity smiled. Fluttershy just rolled her eyes for a moment as she sat up, stretching a little, “I’m fine. I just...felt tired is all. I would want to go back to sleep… then I got interrupted…” “Oh...well hurry and wake up. School’s over a-” “Eh?! I’ve been asleep for that long?!” Fluttershy gasped in worry, before turning to the two in anger, “Why didn’t any of you come and wake me up?!?!” “..Uh...we...didn’t know you were in here until Sunset told us,” Pinkie replied sheepishly. Fluttershy groaned at this, “Baka! You should’ve realized this when you noticed that one of your friends was missing!” “...sorry?” Pinkie stated. “Fluttershy dear, there’s no need to act so nasty. We were just concerned is all,” Rarity stated. “...I’m sorry…” Fluttershy apologized as she began to tear up, “I...I shouldn’t have snapped. Yo-you girls probably hate me.” “...we do not,” Rarity responded. “Y...yes you do…” Fluttershy whimpered before crying waterfall tears, “You hate meheheheeee!” “...somebody’s in a strange mood…” Pinkie whispered to Rarity, “First she’s angry, now she’s crying l-” “HAHAHAHAHA!” Fluttershy suddenly began to laugh hysterically, causing her two friends to leap back in surprise. “...huh?” Pinkie and Rarity blinked. “Uh….what’s so funny, dear?” Rarity asked. “I! I just remembered the time Pinkie accidently ate one of your diamonds when she thought it was rock candy!!!” Fluttershy laughed. Both girls exchanged a look of worry about Fluttershy’s behavior. First she was angry, then she was crying hysterically, and now she’s laughing like crazy… --- The two were walking with Fluttershy outside of the school, the shy pinkette now back to being angry, but it seemed more like annoyance than malice if anything. “He always waits for me so we can walk back,” Fluttershy muttered, “But no. You two have to be the ones to walk me home.” “No offense Fluttershy, but you’ve been pissy ever since you woke up!” Pinkie told Fluttershy. “Language Pinkie Pie!” Rarity told her, “If I had soap, it would be in your mouth right about now.” “It’s not my fault Fluttershy’s acting all moody right now!” Pinkie argued. ”Well it IS your fault that my boyfriend is waiting for me!” Fluttershy snapped at the bubbly pinkette. “How?” Pinkie asked. “Well for one; you dragged me out of the school nurse’s room! Second; I….I…” Fluttershy began before she began to whimper in fear, “I’m scared if Silver-kun isn’t near me. Wh...what if those jocks try to have th-their way with me again?” Pinkie and Rarity exchanged a look, seeing their friend go from annoyed to nervousness. One of them was about to say something when... “Butterfly-chan?” Fluttershy tensed a bit as she slowly looked over her shoulder, seeing a boy a year or two older than her. The boy in question had ice blue hair with a few snow white highlights in it, and soft light blue eyes. He was currently wearing a ice blue jacket on top of a pure white shirt, blue jeans and he had an image of a pure silver hawk on the back of his jacket. “...Silver-kun,” Fluttershy smiled as she ran over and hugged him, “I’m so happy to see you!” “Where were you today? Timid was waiting for you to come over so you two can read some manga together.” “...I… am so so so SO sorry…” Fluttershy apologized as tears began to fall from her eyes, “I...I had suddenly fallen asleep in class, and I didn’t wake up until school was over! I’m so sorry, Silver-kun!!!” “It’s alright. No harm no foul,” Silver Hawk told her, rubbing her back a bit in hopes of calming her down. “I promised I would… I… I… I…” “Shh…” he told her as he held her close, “It’s fine, Butterfly-chan...it’s fine.” Fluttershy finally calmed down and smiled, “Aishiteru(I love you), Silver-kun.” “Aishiteru, Butterfly-chan,” Silver smiled softly at her. “...can I go over to your house so I can try and make it up to Timid-chan?” Fluttershy asked. “Sure you can. You’re always welcome to come to my place,” Silver replied as Fluttershy hugged him and walked off to wait for him, he then turned to Pinkie and Rarity for a moment, “...what happened to her?” “We don’t know. She got very moody after she woke up,” Pinkie replied, “First she was all angry at me and Rarity, then she started to cry hysterically, followed by laughing like crazy, being annoyed, really nervous, and...well, you saw the other two.” “...I see,” Silver noted. “I’ve been meaning to ask, do you remember where you two disappeared to during my Halloween party a few weeks ago?” Pinkie asked. “I honestly don’t know. All I can remember was arriving with Butterfly-chan, and then...nothing,” Silver replied. “She said she remembers you saying something about honey and that’s it.” “Honey?” “Me and Sugar Belle are working on crossreferencing what was at the party, so we can see if there’s anything honey related.” “Ahh...I see,” Silver noted once more, “Well, I’m off. See you later,” “Bye,” they waved. --- Fluttershy and Silver Hawk soon arrived at the latter’s home, which was fairly large (but not too large) and had a bit of a Japanese vibe to it. “...you know, there are times I look at this house and… I feel like I’m back in Japan, you know?” Fluttershy admitted as she walked alongside Silver. “Hai,” Silver nodded as the two walked up the the front door, Silver unlocking it and the two seeing the nice home on the inside, “Timid started playing a game before I left… think she said it was some new Lego video game or somethin’,” “Ahh. I think i’ve heard about that. It’s kinda like Skylanders, only you use special lego figures instead,” Fluttershy explained. “And that explains why she went straight into the Lego aisles last time we went to the toy store…” Silver Hawk realized as they walked into the living room, seeing that Timid was there playing on a Wii U, the blonde girl currently wearing a pale pink shirt, a light green skirt, and pale pink socks. “Come on… come on…” Timid muttered as she finished off the boss, “YES!” She then looked to the screen for a moment and gained a scowl, “NO! No no no no no! Ugh… disrespecting the ninjas...” “Hi Timid,” Fluttershy waved, getting her attention. “Onee-chan!” Timid giggled as she paused the game and ran over to hug Fluttershy, “...where were you? I was waiting with the mangas and I got Peaches and Yuki to sit still so we could read with them.” “Gomen, Timid-chan. I should’ve come earlier, but...well…” Fluttershy paused, not sure how to tell her, “I...kinda feel asleep.” “Eh? Fell asleep?” “...don’t know why…” Fluttershy admitted as she looked to the Lego toys that were by a portal of sorts, “This looks really cool…” “I got quite a few characters. I like playing with the Ninjago characters a lot… only problem is, they didn’t get the show voice actors. Again,” Timid informed as she sat down, “Plus, the Ninjago level in this game is stupid. I mean, it’s like the people who made this game didn’t even study up on the series!” “Uh-huh,” Fluttershy nodded. “It’s based on the Tournament of Elements season,” Timid informed. Fluttershy gave a look of worry, since that was the first season Timid saw, so it had a special place in the young girl’s heart. “First off; the Ninja aren’t in the right gis. Cole’s the only one in the one that was in the show at that point. Second; for whatever reason, Lloyd’s still the Golden Ninja. Third; Sensei Wu is with them and not Garmadon! And the worst blow they did, Skylor’s not in the game!” Timid told Fluttershy, “Mou… I was so excited to play this level too!” “Soka…” Fluttershy sighed, “That’s the problem with most games these days. The developers sometimes miss a few things or don’t study up on the series they’re using.” “And apart from the Lego Movie, which is the second-to-last level, according to this guide I read,” Timid informed as she held up a player’s guide to the game, “This is the only actually Lego-owned thing in this game that’s in the main story!” “...wow,” Fluttershy blinked, “That’s...wow.” Timid just nodded and looked at her figures, “But one kind of cute thing I wanna try and show you if I can… let me put Nya and Eris in the game…” “oh...okay,” Fluttershy nodded as she sat down on the couch, “Go ahead, Timid-chan.” Timid put the characters on the portal and unpaused the game. -Do you ever find that the boys want to have all the fun themselves?- Nya asked. -Ugh, tell me about it.- Eris responded. “Oh my...that is kinda cute,” Fluttershy giggled a bit. “There are a lot of these in the game, like if you put the Doctor in the car from Back to the Future, he’ll have a comment to make about it,” Timid informed as she set the Doctor in the DeLorean. -I could save the universe three times over before this baby hits 88 miles an hour!- the Doctor proclaimed. “Oh. Sugei,” Fluttershy awed a bit. “Do you mind me playing this a little bit more so I can save and then we can do something else?” Timid asked. “Sure, Timid-chan. I don’t mind,” Fluttershy smiled. --- Timid soon finished the level and turned off the game. She let out a bit of a sigh, wiping a bit of sweat off her face. “Mou...that was a frustrating level,” the pale blonde girl sighed, “Almost as annoying as the Joker boss fight.” “So they took the Staff of Elements out of Ninjago… I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing…” Fluttershy stated with a bit of a shrug, “Anyhow… what do you wanna do? We can do whatever you want to make up for me not showing up earlier.” “Oh...okay,” Timid nodded before pondering a bit, “Hmm...can we watch some anime?” “Sure,” Fluttershy smiled as they headed up for Timid’s room, but not before the blonde ran back to pack up the figures for her game. Silver Hawk watched the two go up the stairs, a small smile on his face. He remembered the day he first introduced Fluttershy too Timid. --- “Hey Butterfly-chan,” Silver Hawk stated as he walked up to her, the pinkette currently doing her job at the animal shelter. “Oh! S-silver-san. I...didn’t expect you to be coming here today,” Fluttershy spoke, blushing a bit. “I did wanna help you as much as I can,” he smiled, “But… one small thing.” “What’s that?” “My parents said I had to watch my little sister today, no matter what. So… I brought her here,” Silver stated as he looked over at a corner, “Come out and say hi, Timid.” “...A...ano…” a voice shyly began before Timid poked her head out, “H...hi.” “Konichiwa,” Fluttershy smiled before the girl hid behind the corner once more, “Oh my. Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you.” Timid slowly approached the pale pinkette, half her face hidden behind her hair as she nervously approached Fluttershy. “Atashi Fluttershy. Omae wa?” “...T...T….Timid Swallow,” the girl introduced herself in a shy manner. “Nice to meet you, Timid-san,” Fluttershy giggled, “So… do you like animals?” “H...h….hai,” Timid nervously nodded. “Do you want to help us take care of them?” “...Is...is that okay, onii-chan?” Timid asked her big brother, looking up at him for reassurance. “It is,” Silver Hawk smiled, “And if you want, maybe I can get you a pet.” “R...really?” Timid asked hopefully, earning a nod from her brother, “Y...yatta.” --- Fluttershy and Timid arrived in Timid’s room, the young girl seeing two animals asleep on her bed, one being a pink-ish white cat, and the other being a small fox with a pure white tail. “Have you been able to figure out what sort of cat Peaches is?” Timid asked. “Nope. Gomen,” Fluttershy sighed. “It’s okay,” Timid smiled, “Oh! What anime should we watch first?!” “Hmm… your pick,” Fluttershy told her as they sat down on Timid’s bed. “Okay,” Timid nodded as she turned her Tv on, and looked through the various animes and shows she saved up in her DVR, “Hmm...what to watch…” “oh my. You’ve added quite a lot since I last saw you, timid-chan, “Fluttershy noted, looking at the many shows on the screen. “Hai. I wanted to mix up a few things, so I decided to look around for any anime and shows we might like,” Timid replied, “...maybe something with ninja?” “Hmm...alright,” Fluttershy nodded. Timid giggled softly as she began to look, “Let’s see...Naruto? No no...the manga already ended, and the anime is still kinda going. Hmm…” While Timid was looking, Fluttershy couldn’t help but look over at Yuki and Peaches, the two animals sleeping quietly as the curled up next to each other. Fluttershy remembered giving Timid Peaches after the day they first met while Yuki...was recent, a month or two ago tops. --- “I wanna keep her!” Timid informed her parents as she held onto the young fox. “Timid-chan, you know it’s not safe to keep an animal like that inside,” her father sighed. “But tou-san, she’s only a kit! I promise I’ll take good care of her.” “I can advise to it,” Fluttershy spoke up, “In fact, I can help Timid-chan raise her. I can get a few things from the vet, and make a makeshift home for Yuki to stay in.” “...You promise to take extra good care of her?” “Hai.” “...I’m still a bit unsure…” he sighed. Timid then looked to Yuki and choose to break out her ultimate weapon to get whatever she wanted: puppy eyes. “...Timid...no. Don’t...oh…” her father winced, trying his best to not look at the adorable sight before him, “...Fine. You may keep her. But remember, she’s your responsibility. Understand?” “Hai, tou-san,” Timid smiled. --- “...Bad news, Onee-chan. Only ninja anime I have is Naruto… let’s pick something else. No offense, but I’m kinda getting bored of it…” Timid sighed. “It’s fine, Timid-chan. I’ve... kinda outgrew it myself,” Fluttershy admitted, “I’ll still watch it from time to time. Heck, a costume choice me and your brother were considering was Naruto and Hinata.” Timid just nodded and continued to look, “...Dragon Ball?” “No,” Fluttershy responded, “I don’t get why that’s so loved. I really don’t.” ‘Oh...ok. Hmm...One Piece?” “I’ve heard a lot of good things about that, but never took th3 chance to watch it,” Fluttershy admitted. “Ahh...well it’s a long series, so we’ll put it on hold for now,” Timid said as she went back to the list, “Hmm...Pokemon?” “I still love the games, but I grew out of the anime around Black and White.” “I hear a lot of people say that. And my response, watch the X & Y seasons. They say it’s much better,” Timid stated. “Noted,” Fluttershy smiled. “...uh… Bakugan?” “Maybe another time.” “Oh...hmm...Digimon?” “Maybe another time. I’ve been meaning to rewatch the series, but don’t have the time,” Fluttershy admitted. “I’m kinda runnin’ out of stuff…” Timid admitted, “...uh… hmm… Kirby?” “Ooh! Let’s watch that! I haven’t watched the Kirby anime in a long while!” Fluttershy giggled a bit. “Okay,” Timid giggled as she played the first episode, “I love Kirby! He was in the very first video game I ever played, Keito no Kābii,” “‘Yarn Kirby’? ...that’s Kirby’s Epic Yarn, right?” “Ping-pong, ping-pong!” Timid giggled, “I really hope they make another one…” “They sort of did,” Fluttershy informed. “There’s an Epic Yarn 2?!” “Iie. It’s Yoshi’s Woolly World.” “...aww… why didn’t they make it a Kirby game?” “It wasn’t even going to be a Kirby game in the first place,” Fluttershy informed. “It wasn’t?” “Nope. Remember Prince Fluff?” “Yep,” “It was originally going to be his game and titled ‘World of Fluff,’” Fluttershy explained before sighing a bit, “And he hasn’t appeared in any games since.” “...I voted for him in the Smash Ballot…” Timid spoke up before Fluttershy pulled her into a hug, “So… why did they change it to a Kirby game?” “Nintendo was worried it wouldn’t sell, so they requested an iconic character be the lead, and Kirby was picked,” Fluttershy explained as she let the pale blonde girl go, “The same thing happened with the first Smash Bros game for the N64. In fact, it wasn’t even going to have any Nintendo characters in it.” “...really?” “Hai,” Fluttershy nodded, “Sakurai presented an early beta of the game to the company, and they decided to help him out on it. Eventually, they decided to have Nintendo characters in it instead and...well, we got Smash Bros.” “So… anyone you wanna see in the game besides Prince Fluff?” Timid inquired. “Hmm...Shantae, Shovel Knight, Krystal, Tails, Lilac, and a few others,” Fluttershy replied. “...we’re doing a bad job of watching an anime if we’re just talking over it…” Timid giggled. “Hai,” Fluttershy giggled. --- The two watched the anime a bit before changing their attention over to just talking. “So… what’s something super valuable that you own and you will never part with as long as you live?” Timid asked Fluttershy. “Issue 1 of the Sailor Moon manga, signed by franchise creator Naoko Takeuchi,” Fluttershy smiled, “What about you, Timid-chan?” “I have a copy of Kirby’s Epic Yarn signed by Masahiro Sakurai and Satoru Iwata,” Timid smiled, “Hmm…Onee-chan, can I ask you something else?” “Of course, Timid-chan.” “...do you truly love Onii-chan?” “...With all my heart,” Fluttershy smiled softly, placing her hands over her chest, “I owe everything to him… he was the one who helped me out of my depression… he was there when I woke up from my coma…” --- “M….mm…” Fluttershy whimpered a bit as her eyes slowly began to open, the pinkette slowly noticing she was in a hospital room, “...I’m… alive? …No...why? Why am I…?” At that, the door to the room opened up, revealing a certain ice-bluette, a doctor’s coat over his regular attire. “She’s awake…” Silver quietly noted before clearing his throat a bit as he walked over to her, “Welcome back to the world of the living, miss. It’s nice to see you finally awa-” “I should’ve died,” Fluttershy whispered, “I...I don’t belong in this world.” Silver Hawk looked at her in surprise before gaining a serious expression, “Don’t ever say things like that.” “E...eh?” “Don’t ever say you don’t belong in this world,” Silver told her as he pulled up a chair and sat down, “Everyone has a right to live.” “...Not if you’re someone as useless as me…’ Fluttershy whispered sadly. “...What’s your name, miss?” “Ehh?” “I asked you what your name is.” “...My friends call me Fluttershy, demo...my real name is Butterfly Misaki.” “You’re Japanese. Then… you should know, those who take their own lives…” Silver Hawk began. “Don’t go to heaven,” Fluttershy sighed. “...Your parents are probably worried. Imagine what they would think about their poor little girl trying something like this,” “...my parents are already up there.” “Oh...I’m...I’m so sorry to hear that. But seriously...” Silver paused as he gently took her hand into his, “Do you think they’d be happy to see their daughter trying to kill herself?” “...N...no.” “Do you have any other family?” he asked. “...my sister,” “Soka...and her name?” “Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy informed. “...the rainbowette?” “You’ve seen her?” “She’s come here everyday since you arrived here,” Silver Hawk informed as he pointed to several bouquets of flowers, “She and your friends have been worried sick about you.” “...” Fluttershy was silent for a moment as she saw the notes from her friends, “They...left all this for me?” “Hai. It shows how much they really care about you,” Silver nodded, “And your big sister left a lot of presents,” “Ara?” Fluttershy blinked as she saw several wrapped boxes, “Oh my...That’s a lot.” “She loves you from what I can tell you,” he smiled as he looked at some of the gifts, “I don’t know what’s inside any of these, but I bet she spent quite a pretty penny on some of them.” Fluttershy began to tear up, the shy pinkette starting to sniffle a little. “Hey hey...there’s no need to cry,” Silver told her as he leaned in a bit, wiping some of the tears away from her face, causing the pinkette to blush a little. “...omae wa?” Fluttershy inquired. “Hmm?” “Y...your name….wh...what is it?” Fluttershy asked, blushing a bit more. “Oh. It’s Silver Hawk,” he smiled, “And again, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Butterfly-san.” “...H...hai,” Fluttershy managed to squeak out, the pinkette blushing a bit further. --- “Onee-chan? ...why are you crying?” Timid asked, snapping Fluttershy out of her memories. “Eh? Wh..what do you mean?” “Look…” Timid said, pointing to the tears in Fluttershy’s eyes, “You’ve started to cry a few seconds ago before I spoke up.” Fluttershy rubbed her eyes, “G...gomen, Timid-chan. Just...recalling the day I first met your brother.” “Oh...demo, why were you crying?” Timid asked. “...I have no idea…” Fluttershy admitted, “I wish I had an answer for you, Timid-chan, btu I don’t.” “Oh...okay, onee-chan,” Timid nodded a bit. The pinkette just couldn’t explain her tears for even a minute. In fact, why was she even crying in the first place? Was it because Silver helped her out of her depression after she woke up? Was it because her friends cared for her so much? “Onee-chan…” Timid began, catching the pinkette’s attention, “Are you sure you’re alright? You’ve been quiet for quite some time now.” “Gomen gomen…” Fluttershy apologized, “I’ve just… well…” “...Well what?” “Well...I-” Fluttershy began before she began to feel a bit queazy. “...O-onee-chan? D...daijoubu?” Timid asked in concern. Fluttershy didn’t say anything as she shot up ran out and into the bathroom, her face a bit green as she quickly slammed the door shut. “O-oh my!” Timid gasped a bit, “O-onii-chan! I-I think something’s wrong with Onee-chan!” > The Time at the Hospital > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silver Hawk ran up the stairs upon hearing his little sister, a look of worry on his face. “Is everything alright, Timid?” the ice-bluette asked, “What happened to Butterfly?” “I...I don’t know. She...she suddenly started to feel sick, and ran into the bathroom,” Timid replied. He ran over and knocked on the door, “Butterfly-chan, are you alright?!” His response was her whimpering and groaning a bit, followed by the sound of her losing her lunch. “...I’m worried,” Timid admitted, “Is...is Onee-chan going to be alright, Onii-chan?” “I don’t know…” Silver sighed as he pulled out his cell phone, “I think I better call her sister and tell her what’s going on.” --- Dash and Twilight were currently sitting on a bench at the park, the two looking up at the clear blue sky. “Beautiful autumn day…” Twilight smiled, laying her head on Rainbow Dash’s shoulder, “Isn’t it, Bowy?” “Sure is, Twil,” Rainbow nodded, her arm wrapped around her girlfriend’s shoulder. “How are things going on sports?” Twilight inquired. “Pretty good… though, one student has refused to listen to me, like at all, simply because of my preferences. Her name is Indigo Zap,” Dash informed. “Isn’t she the girl who looks like Lighting’s twin sister?” Twilight asked. “Hard to believe one of my best friends on the team looks like that jerk,” Dash sighed, “What about you and your acadecatha stuff?” “Doing fine,” Twilight replied, “I-” Before she could finish further, Rainbow Dash’s cellphone began to ring. “...I think you should get that.” Dash gave a groan as she picked it up, “This better be important…” -It is- Silver Hawk responded -Something’s wrong with Butterfly-chan a- “I’m on my way,” Rainbow quickly responded before looking at Twilight, “Sorry, Twil, but it looks like our date is gonna have to be put on hold.” -Onii-chan… I heard a thud…- Timid’s voice said in concern as there was a door opening sound, -She passed out!- -...Dash, meet me at the hospital I work at!- “Got it! I’ll meet ya there in a few,” Rainbow nodded as she hung up, “Ugh… I need to get going Twil.” “I’m gonna call the others,” Twilight stated, pulling her own phone out, “We’ll meet you there as fast as we can.” “Got it,” Rainbow nodded as she quickly got up and ran as fast as she could. --- At the moment, Applejack was hard at work in the apple orchards, the blonde girl currently wearing a brown stetson, button up plaid shirt, jean shorts, and a pair of brown cowboy boots. She gave off a slight sigh as she wiped some sweat off her face. “Hey, Applejack-san,” a male voice stated as somebody approached, being a male with black hair with pink highlights, a pair of yellow goggles with blue lenses resting on his forehead, teal eyes, wearing a blue jacket, blue jeans, along with white shoes and a strawberry symbol on his necklace, “You did good today.” “Heh...thank ya kindly,” Applejack smiled a bit as she rested against a tree, “A good hards days work if Ah may say so mahself.” Suddenly, her phone began to ring like crazy, surprising the blonde a bit. “Uh...excuse me, Kota. Ah gotta take this,” Applejack said as she pulled her phone out of her pocket and answered, “Yes?” -Long story, don’t know all the details, meet us at the Blue William’s Hospital, something’s wrong with Fluttershy!- Twilight said quickly. “...Ah’ll be on mah way,” Applejack replied as she hung up, “Sorry Kota, but ah need t’ leave. One of mah friends is in the hospital.” “Alright,” he nodded as Applejack headed off --- Dash was the first to arrive and was waiting with Timid when another woman showed up, she resembeled Dash quite a bit, she had blue hair, magenta eyes, was wearing a pale cyan dress shirt, a white dress skirt, and blue high heels. “Hi mom,” Dash smiled as she walked over. “Dear, what’s happened to Fluttershy?” she asked. “Ask Timid, mom. Fluttershy was at her home when she passed out,” Dash informed. “I...it’s true,” Timid spoke up, “O...Onee-chan was fine until she started feeling sick. She...she quickly ran into the bathroom and began to throw up. N...next thing me and Onii-chan knew, she was passed out.” “Has anybody else noticed she’s been behaving oddly lately?” Rarity asked as she, Pinkie and Applejack walked on over. “Huh? What do y’all mean ‘odd’?” Applejack repeated. “Well for one, she was really sleepy this morning,” Pinkie stated, “And the next thing me and Rarity knew, she was having mood swings like crazy.” “Not to mention the fact she and Silver Hawk just up and vanished the night of the Halloween party,” Dash added. “What do you mean by ‘disappeared’?” Dash’s mother asked. “Well Sora Storm… they just walked off and we have no clue where they went and they don’t know either,” Twilight informed as she walked over with Sunset. “Maud took Silver Hawk and Timid back to their home and I found Fluttershy in my home at around 1:40 in the morning on November 1st,” Pinkie added. “...uh… a-a-ano…” Timid stuttered nervously, “I...I think I s...saw them before they disappeared.” The group then turned to look at Timid, the young girl hiding behind Dash out of nervousness. “Tell us what you know! Tell us, tell us, tell us!” Pinkie nearly shouted, earning a ‘sush’ from a passing by nurse, “...sorry,” “She’s a kid. Don’t scare her, Pinkie!” Dash scolded her before looking at the small girl, “But seriously Timid, where did you see them?” “...over by where the funny drink was. I… I uh... heard them hiccuping and… w-wh-when I tried to talk to them…” the young girl paused, nervously poking her two index fingers together, “O...Onii-chan hit me. I… I really don’t know why.” Everyone fell silent as Timid began to tear up a bit, the young girl shaking a bit. “...did ya ask why he did that?” Applejack inquired. “He… ano… uh… said he… doesn’t remember hitting me,” Timid informed, “I… I really don’t know what had gotten into him and Onee-chan.” --- Fluttershy began to wake up, her eyes slowly opening up as she saw Silver Hawk looking at her, a look of worry and concern on his face. “Silver-kun… what happened?” Fluttershy asked. “Butterfly-chan...don’t try and speak,” Silver advise her. She just complied with his request and took a short breath as she tried to keep calm. --- “Is anybody here for a… uh… Butterfly Misaki?” Redheart asked as she walked into the waiting area. “Yes,” Twilight nodded as she stood up, “We’re all here for her.” “We’re looking over her, and it seems she’s alright,” Redheart explained. “Oh thank god,” Rainbow Dash sighed in relief. “We’ll let you know if anything changes about her,” she added before leaving back for the medical area. “...what do you think is wrong with her?” Sunset asked. “Twilight, you’re studying to be a doctor, you should know something,” Dash stated. “Wrong kind of doctor,” Twilight stated. “You must know something about biology or that kind of crud.” “Yes, but I’m not on human biology yet,” “Ugh…” Dash sighed in annoyance. Sora looked over at Timid, the young blonde girl having a worried look on her face. Sora picked her up, confusing the young girl a bit. “It’s okay, dear,” Rainbow Dash’s mother reassured her, “Your brother and sister will be alright,” Twilight looked at the young girl and reached for something in her bag, “Here,” Timid took the tablet the older girl handed her and looked at it for a moment. “It’s got a few games and you can watch some cartoons or something,” Twilight told her. “...Y...you sure I can use this, Twilight-san?” Timid asked.. “Go ahead. I don’t like seeing little kids worrying,” Twilight told her. “..A...alright,” Timid nodded, looking through some of the game apps downloaded on the tablet. --- “Now, Butterfly,” Redheart began, holding up a notepad and a pen, “I need you to tell me exactly what happened before you passed out.” “Well… I was sitting and watching TV with Timid, Silver Hawk’s younger sister, I just began to cry for no reason, then I started to feel a bit queasy...and then I just...lost consciousness,” Fluttershy replied as Redheart wrote down everything the pinkette said. “Silver Hawk… has Fluttershy been acting at all differently lately?” Redheart asked. “Hmm...well, one of her friends told me she’s been feeling really tired lately. And today, she told me she was experiencing...mood swings.” “And a few days ago… I was eating some strange stuff…” Fluttershy admitted, “Like...pickles and ice cream, or salsa on my salad... and whipped cream on my bare feet. It fell off of the crackers I was eating with them, so you know and I didn’t want to waste good food...” Silver Hawk just blinked a bit, hiding a bit of an oncoming blush while Redheart wrote this down. “...so… are you two married, mind my asking really quick?” “Uh...no,” Silver shook his head, “Why ask?” Redheart just looked at the two for a moment, tapping her chin in thought with her pen. “...did you two have anything… alcoholic lately?” “Huh?” Silver and Fluttershy blinked, “Uh...no/N-no.” “...I see,” The nurse noted, “...That’s all then. But...I want you to come back here next week, miss Butterfly.” “Okay,” Fluttershy nodded. “Good,” Redheart nodded as she began to leave the room, “One last thing; your friends will be arriving shortly to check in on you. You’ll be able to leave by tomorrow morning,” --- Dash and the others soon hurried into the room, the former rushing over to Fluttershy’s bed to hug her. “H...hey, Rainbow,” Fluttershy greeted the tomboy as she returned the hug. “You’re okay…” Dash smiled. “...uh…. just as a comment… doesn’t she look a bit… pudgy?” Pinkie blinked, looking at Fluttershy’s stomach being a tiny bit larger. “Huh?” Twilight blinked before she noticed it. “...you saying I’m getting fat?” Fluttershy asked, a scowl forming on her face. “What? No. I was just…” Pinkie began. “Saying I was chubby?” Fluttershy frowned before sniffling a little, “Wh….why would you say something so mean to me, Pinkie? I thought we were friends…” “I was just making an observation…” Pinkie stated in her defense, “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, Fluttershy.” “Y...yes you did. You...you…” Fluttershy began before she cried waterfall tears, instantly pulling Rainbow Dash’s head into her chest, “Onee-chan! Pinkie was mean to me~!!!!” Dash had no way to respond to this due to her head being buried in the shy pinkette’s… ahem, sizable breast, the tomboy flailing her arms around a bit. “Uh...dear. I don’t think she can breath,” Rarity pointed out with a slight sweatdrop. “Eh?” Fluttershy blinked, the tears stopping before she noticed, causing her to gasp as she let go, “Oh my! G..gomen nassai, onee-chan!” “It..it’s fine but...jeez! Did your breast get bigger or something?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, panting heavily as she caught her breath. “...she could give a CPU from Neptunia a run for their money…” Pinkie Pie mumbled. “What was that?” Fluttershy asked. “Nothing,” “No seriously, what was that? And why did onee-chan say that last thing?” Fluttershy asked. “It was nothing,” Pinkie assured. “Pinkie, I think y-” Twilight began. “And risk getting snapped at again? No way,” Pinkie quickly replied to her book savvy friend, “Plus… T-Rated series of games… little kid in room…” “Oh...right.” “Anyway…” Dash stated with an eye roll, “I think we should move onto something more important...like where Fluttershy and her boyfriend disappeared to that night.” “We don’t know!” they said in perfect unison. “I know that! just..ugh. All I know is something about honey from Pinkie, and from Timid...that Silver had hit her when he and Fluttershy were acting funny.” “I don’t remember that happening. I would never hit you Timid… are you sure you didn’t just dream that?” Silver Hawk asked. “No…” Timid spoke up, shaking her head a little, “Th...that really did happen, Onii-chan.” She paused for a moment to move a bti of her hair to the side, showing a small, yet still noticeable bruise, “S...see? It’s almost gone, but...it’s still there.” “...oh sweet kami,” Silver whispered, his eyes widen in horror upon seeing it, “I… I swear I don’t remember doing it. I…” he quickly walked over and pulled his sister into a hug, “Timid...I am so so sorry for doing that. I...I don’t know what drove me to do such a horrible thing.” “It hurt…” Timid said nervously, “It still does...demo…” “I remember hearing somebody hit somebody else, but I only assumed it was someone drunk out of their mind,” Rarity admitted. “Wait… ‘drunk’?” Sora asked before giving Pinkie a stern glare, “Pinkie…” “What?” “Were you serving alcohol at your party?” “I would never! One, there were kids there! Two, I’ve Pinkie Promised to never do so! And three, somebody else did and swapped out the cherry punch with it,” Pinkie informed, “I don’t know who exactly, but I assure you I would never serve that kind of drink at my party!” Timid looked at her brother for a moment, “...Onii-chan. Did...did you and Onee-chan drink that weird drink?” “...What’re you trying to say, Timid?” Fluttershy asked. “...W...well, considering Rainbow-san and Twilight-san were acting a bit funny after they took a drink, thinking it was the fruit punch Pinkie-san served, m...maybe you and Onii-chan might’ve took a drink from it by mistake?” They both exchanged a look of concern at that. Could that have really been the case? Could they have accidently drunk some of that alcohol and...well, got drunk? The tension floated in the room for a bit, said room being so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. “...I… uh… think I remember something…” Fluttershy began nervously. “...what is it?” Rainbow asked as everyone leaned in close to the shy pinkette, “We need to know.” “First off… move back a bit…” Fluttershy requested, “Well… I remember… me and Silver-kun… standing and talking and… we had some sort of red juice or something… N-next thing I knew, everything started to become...blurry and fuzzy. Like… I couldn’t think straight.” Dash’s expression was covered up by her hair, the tomboy trying her best to stay calm as she listened to what her ‘sister’ had to say. “What else, sugahcube? Is there anythin’ else y’all can remember?” Applejack asked. “...we left for somewhere upstairs… we kissed and… that’s it,” Fluttershy replied, “Everything...went black after that.” “I think I remember that too…” Silver Hawk admitted, causing everyone else to look at him next, “Me and Butterfly-chan were talking before I decided to get us some drinks. Course...I didn’t know it was alcohol at the time. After we each took a couple of drinks from it, everything began to get fuzzy.” “..I got hit…” Timid added. “...everything sort of fits,” Twilight admitted as she thought it over, “The weird drink, Silver and Fluttershy disappearing so suddenly...but...one thing is missing from all this. Who exactly switched the drinks out?” “...I wish I could explain that. There are some jerks who would more than likely use it to get girls so they can-” Pinkie began, before she got a look from Silver Hawk that more or less told her to choose her next words carefully, “...I’ll just end it right there.” “...so… what do we do now?” Applejack asked. “Best course of action is to wait until tomorrow and then just carry things on as normal,” Sunset suggested. “Right,” Twilight nodded as she looked over at her girlfriend, “Rainbow?” Dash just walked out without saying another word. “...I’ll go get her,” Twilight sighed as she hurried after her. --- “Dash… Rainbow Dash…” Twilight called out, but the tomboy seemed to be ignoring her as she walked further away, “Rainbow Dash come on. Please say something.” “...she got drunk. She totally got drunk…” Dash stated, her hands shaking a bit as they balled up into fist, “...I think I know what she and her boyfriend did, but I won’t believe it.” “What are you getting at?” Twilight asked as she caught up. “Do I need to draw you a picture, Twilight?!” Rainbow snapped, startling her girlfriend as the tomboy looked over at her, “They had sex!” Twilight let her tablet drop out of her hands and onto the ground with a loud ‘thud’ sound, a shocked look on the violette’s face. “...R...Rainbow, you can’t possibly th-” “Yes I can!” Rainbow Dash snapped, “It’s all there! The fact they were drunk! The sudden disappearance! That could only mean one thing! SEX! S-E-X! Sex!” “Rainbow Dash, please calm d-” “How can I calm down?!?! My sister just lost her freaking virginity, Twilight! All because someone decide to ‘spice’ the party up by switching the drink with some alcohol!” Rainbow snapped, “And you know what, I’m starting to think Silver was the one wh-” *SLAP!* Rainbow stood silent there for a moment, a large red imprint on her face as her head was turned, the tomboy slowly looking back to see a heavily panting Twilight, her hand shaking a bit. “...Why. Would. You. Say that… about the person who brought your sister such happiness in her life?” Twilight asked, trying her best to stay calm right now, “Why...why would you think he would try something so horrible?” “Because of what happened the last time Fluttershy fell for someone…” Dash admitted as she held her injury, tears starting to form in her eyes, “I… I don’t want that to happen to her again, Twilight. I...I don’t want her to try and kill herself again.” “She won’t,” Twilight stated, “But… you really think Silver Hawk could’ve done that? Think about it for a moment more… he got drunk too. If he was in on this, he wouldn’t have gotten drunk.” “...That...makes so much sense.” “Exactly,” Twilight nodded, “Look… Fluttershy will be coming back in a week to make sure she’s alright. I may not know much about the human body, but I’ll see if I can use any sort of books to see if what she and Silver Hawk did might’ve… well… had side-effects?” “You do that,” Dash smiled, “...Twi?” “Yes dash?” Twilight asked before the tomboy pulled her into a hug. “I’m sorry for snapping at you like that,” Rainbow responded as she held Twilight close, “I...let my anger get the better of me.” “...have you ever thought about seeing someone about your anger issues? I really don’t wanna have to hit you again… one time is more than enough for this and any other lifetime.” “...I have been thinking about that,” Rainbow admitted as she let Twilight go, “I...just haven’t found the right therapist yet.” “Good,” --- Fluttershy looked over at Timid, who was sitting close by the pinkette outside of the hospital bed she was resting in, the little girl wanting to stay close to the person she saw as a big sister. “I’m really sorry that you got hurt, Timid-chan…” Fluttershy sighed, “M...me and your brother should’ve checked the drink to see if something was wrong with it.” “...A...ano...it’s fine, Onee-chan. I...I know Onii-chan would never do something like that,” Timid replied, “...are you feeling alright, Onee-chan?” “...I’m fine, Timid-chan,” Fluttershy replied with a soft smile. “A….are you sure? Wh-what if you faint again, like what happened back at my house?” “The doctors can tend to me…” Fluttershy smiled, “So… do you wanna do something together when I’m okay to go?” “Hai!” Timid giggled,”Oh! C...can we...ano… see a movie? I just got a few on DVD and I wanna watch em with you!” “Sure, Timid. A movie sounds nice,” Fluttershy replied with a smile. “Y...yay,” Timid cheered softly as she hugged the pinkette, “Oh, and I just got to a new level in Lego Dimensions… uh… something with this blue box, some guy who already knows who Batman and Wyldstyle are… creepy robot things…” “The Doctor Who level…” Fluttershy realized. “Oh yea! He said his name was ‘The Doctor’. ...he doesn’t look like a doctor,” Timid stated, “...Maybe I should look a bit into the series.” “It’s a 50+ years running series… plus it’s kinda dark. But uh anyway, which one is he?” “...huh?” Timid blinked, “Well… I did bring the game with me… along with this Doctor fellow in that set. H...hold on.” She then ran over to her backpack and opened it, searching through it until she found the items in question. “Ah… the 12th Doctor,” Fluttershy noted as she saw his figure, “...bit of a shame it wasn’t David Tennant.” “Who?” “He was considered the 10th Doctor, and one of the best,” Fluttershy smiled. “...do you know anything about this series?” Timid asked. “...little bit. Too scary for me to watch normally…” “Eh? What do you mean?” “Well...there’s a few things on that show that scare me,” Fluttershy replied, The Daleks, Cybermen, and…” she paused to shudder a bit, “...well, at least nobody is stupid enough to put those in a Lego game…” “...Ano…” Timid blinked a bit. “Nothing… so… 12th Doctor eh? ...heard they tried to dial this series back a bit for kids…” Fluttershy admitted, “So… go on and play a bit,” --- Timid played the game for a bit, but flew into a near screaming panic when encountering a certain enemy, the young girl dropping her controller as she bolted out of the room and into the bathroom. “...Timid-chan?” Fluttershy blinked a bit, seeing the young girl run past her. She then walked up to the bathroom door and knocked on it, “Timid-chan, D-” “Go away! Don’t let them get me!” Timid’s voice screamed from the bathroom. “Eh? Don’t let what g-” “The creepy statues!” “Statues… you have gotta be kidding me… they put those in a Lego game. ...see how many complaints from parents you’re gonna get, Lego…” Fluttershy stated, sighing a bit. “C...can’t close my eyes...otherwise they’ll get me…” Timid whimpered inside the bathroom, “Can’t...close my eyes…” Fluttershy sighed as she turned the game off and sat down for a moment, thinking why the programmers of that game would even consider putting those in a game made for children. Something like that would most likely scar a few kids for life, and Timid was greatly afraid right now. --- Fluttershy had fallen asleep at some point, before she was woken up by a very loud scream, followed by the sound of crashing. “NO! DON’T LET THEM GET ME!” Timid’s voice screamed in pure fear as the bathroom door shook, the young girl trying to open it from the other side, “DON’T LET THOSE CREEPY STATUES GET ME!” “...great job Lego,” Fluttershy mumbled as she opened up the door for Timid and the blonde clenched onto Fluttershy’s right leg, the young girl shaking beyond belief as tears fell from her eyes, “...Timid-chan. It…” “O...Onee-chan…” Timid sniffled, clinging onto Fluttershy’s leg as she shook, “D….don’t let them get me…” “...Timid, you were dreaming.” Fluttershy sighed as she hopped over to put Timid down, “They’re not real, Timid-chan. They…” “Th...they are…” Timid whimpered, “I...I can’t close my eyes, otherwise th-they-they’ll get me… Onee-chan, why? Why… why would LEGO put something so scary in a video game?” “Makes their comments about toning it back a bunch of lies…” Fluttershy sighed as she attempted to get Timid off of her, “Timid, I assure you nothing is gonna happen to you.” “...I...I don’t want to play that game anymore…” Timid cried. Fluttershy finally managed to get Timid off of her and pulled the young blonde into a hug, the young girl sniffling into the pinkette’s nightgown. “O...onee-chan…” Timid whimpered. “Shh...it’s okay...i’m here,” Fluttershy assured her in a soothing tone. Timid’s tears began to slow down, the young girl starting to calm down a little from Fluttershy’s reassurance. “I promise you nothing bad is ever going to happen, Timid-chan,” Fluttershy promised the young girl, “If there’s anything truly after you, which there isn’t, they’d be going through me and your Onii-chan first.” “...D...do you really promise?” “Hai…” Fluttershy nodded, holding the young girl close, “Me and your Onee-chan will always be there to protect you, Timid-chan.” “Arigato, Onee-chan…” Timid smiled softly as her eyes closed and she dozed off to sleep,the young blonde snoozing softly in her sleep. Fluttershy smiled softly as she carried the small girl the empty bed next to hers and laid her down on it, pulling the covers up to cover the small girl so she wouldn’t get cold. “Good night, Timid-chan,” Fluttershy whispered softly to the young girl. > Revelations, Arguments and Sleepovers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So Timid was here all night?” Silver Hawk asked as he was now with Fluttershy, the two sitting on Fluttershy’s bed while Timid was playing Lego Dimensions a bit. “Hai. She…” Fluttershy paused before whispering into Silver’s ear, “Got scared badly because those bakas at LEGO added the Crying Angels from Doctor Who.” “They did wh-oh jeez,” Silver facepalmed, “...how’s she doing? She’s playing the game again.” “She agreed to try and finish the level if I was there with her,” Fluttershy replied, “Whenever…’those; appeared, I held onto her hand for reassurance, just so she can feel safe.” “Uh, Onee-chan…” Timid spoke up, catching Fluttershy’s attention as she looked over at the young girl, “Ano, I think I’m close to the end of the level.” Fluttershy smiled softly before she noticed a cutscene in the game begin to play, showing what looked like stone angels coming at Batman and his group, the ‘angels’ slowly approaching each time the lights flickered on and off in the game. The pinkette quickly went over and held Timid’s hand, the young girl trying her best to stay calm as the stone angels were getting closer and closer in the cutscene. Luckily, the heroes were able to escape, much to the relief of the girls. “...it’s safe now Timid…” Fluttershy assured with a soft smile. “So… the Cybermen and those things are in here, what about-” Silver Hawk began as he noticed them drop into an area with deactivated robots, “Speak of the Dalek.” -At least they aren’t those statues!- Gandalf stated. “Yea, NO KIDDING!” Timid shouted, “Those things are scary beyond belief!” she then blinked a bit upon seeing the deactivated robots, “Ano...why do those things look like salt and pepper shakers?” “Major enemy of the Doctor, and I keep telling people they look like salt and pepper shakers…” Fluttershy admitted. --- Soon, Timid finished the level and gave a puzzled look at the Keystone unlocked in the world. “...wasn’t this in the dino world?” Timid asked. “Beg pardon?” Silver Hawk responded. “When I was finished with the dino world Lego game at Quirky’s, I saw that same exact keystone Batman-tachi found,” Timid explained. “Uh… can you two please carry on your conversation in the waiting room?” Redheart requested, “I need to check on Miss Misaki.” “oh...alright,” Silver nodded as he stood up, “Come on, Timid.” “H-hai,” Timid nodded, pausing the game as she stood up and followed her brother outside. Once the two left, Redheart turned to Fluttershy, a serious expression on her face. “Ano, is everything alright?” Fluttershy asked. “...I heard your sister shouting yesterday. Unless it was an emergency, I reccomend you tell her not to scream so loudly. This is a hospital after all, and most of our patients need absolute quiet.” “Noted,” “But… that’s not everything. Among some of the things she shouted, she mentioned something about you and your boyfriend…” Redheart paused before clearing her throat, “Question, are you and Silver Hawk married by any chance?” Fluttershy blushed heavily at that, the pinkette hiding her face behind her hair. “I’m guessing that’s a no,” Redheart noted, “Anyway, back on topic. Among some of the things your sister shouted was that you and boyfriend having sex while...ahem, drunk.” Fluttershy blushed even further at that, the pinkette trying her best to not faint right there. “And then your other sister…” Redheart began, “Why was she here overnight?” “...She wanted to stay near me because she was worried about me,” Fluttershy spoke up, her blush beginning to die down. “...I see,” Redheart noted, “Well… like I mentioned yesterday, you’re good to leave and you need to come back in a week.” “O...ok,” Fluttershy nodded as she got up and walked into the waiting room to go meet her boyfriend and Timid. --- “We did what?” Silver Hawk whispered in shock. "I...I...I think we might’ve...might’ve…” Fluttershy began quietly, but couldn’t finish due to her heavy blush. “...your sister is going to kill me,” Silver Hawk groaned, mentally berating himself for getting drunk as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. “...ano, S-Silver-kun?” “Hmm?” Silver blinked a bit as he looked over at the shy pinkette,” Hai, Butterfly-chan?” “Even if we can’t remember… I hope… I… was… good enough,” the shy pinkette replied, looking down at the floor, “E...even if it was our first time.” “...” “...S-something wrong, Silver-kun?” “...nothing important,” he told her. “Onee-chan…” Timid began, catching Fluttershy’s attention. “Hai, Timid-chan?” “Ano, the manga here in America is printed strangely,” Timid said, holding up a comic book to the pinkette. “...Other way, Timid-chan,” Fluttershy stated before blinking a bit, “Wait. You can read instruction books just fine, and yet you struggle with comics?” “It’s instinct. I’m so used to reading manga, reading comics in the other direction is weird,” Timid admitted. “..Excuse me, Silver-kun. I need to go help Timid-chan out with something,” Fluttershy explained to her boyfriend. “It’s ok. Take your time,” Silver replied. Fluttershy nodded as she walked over to help Timid out, leaving Silver Hawk to his thoughts. ‘Great… just great you baka. You had to get drunk…’ Silver mentally sighed to himself, ‘Not only that, but you practically took her virginity, and don’t even remember it! Rainbow Dash is gonna kill me…’ Fluttershy and Timid talked about the comic a bit, allowing the ice-blue haired male to smile a bit. ‘...Those two. They really care about each other, like real sisters,’ Silver noted, ‘Timid really loves Fluttershy as a big sister. Heh… you sure know how to pick 'em man. Beautiful, kind, sweet...she’s like an angel.’ “Timid-chan, listen carefully,” Fluttershy spoke up, “You read from the left instead of the right.” “...it’s still confusing to me. I’m used to reading from the right when it comes to comics, Onee-chan.” ‘...and she’s so motherly. She knows just what to do when Timid’s scared or nervous,’ Silver thought as he watched the two, ‘...if we get married, I know she’ll make a good mother…’ Suddenly, everything came together. The sudden sleepiness, the mood swings, the queasiness, it could only mean one thing... ‘...it all comes together…’ Silver Hawk thought, his internal tone being a mix of realization, horror and awe, ‘She’s pregnant...I’m not sure whether I should be excited about becoming a dad...or scared beyond belief when Rainbow Dash finds out.’ --- Soon, Fluttershy was checked out and brought back home by Sora, the pinkette listening to her stomach rumbling as she had her hands over it. “...Okaa-san, do we have anything to eat?” “Well, I’ve been making pancakes, and I already have some out. Would you like some, dear?” “Hai, Ano, can I have some rice to go with it, please?” “Sure. I...wait. Rice?” “I’m just really hungry…” “...Alright, dear. let me just finish this last batch of pancakes, and I’ll start making some rice for you.” “Thanks, Okaa-san,” Fluttershy smiled. --- Fluttershy had soon returned home and began to eat, the pinkette having some rice with her pancakes. Or rather...on her pancakes. “...Uh...mom?” Rainbow spoke up, “Are you sure Fluttershy’s alright?” “I’m sure she’s just really hungry is all…” she assured Dash from the kitchen. “I know but...why'd she put her rice on her pancakes?” “...good question,” Sora admitted, “...We’ll probably ask her about it later.” “...Okay…” Fluttershy had soon finished eating her food, but took out a canister of whip cream and squirted a bit on her thumb to snack on. “Okaa-san, can I be excused?” the shy pinkette asked, “I’d like to take a quick shower, please. “...go ahead, but put the whip cream away…” Sora told her. “Hai,” Fluttershy nodded as she put it back in the fridge and left. “...I’m starting to worry,” Dash admitted once the pinkette was out of earshot. “Hmm? What do you mean?” “She’s been dozing off a lot lately, she’s been rather moody, been going to the bathroom a lot, mainly to throw up, and now this weird appetite thing.” “We’ll be going back the hospital next week… in the meantime, why don’t you go pick out some clothes for her?” Sora suggested. “Sure,” Dash shrugged. --- Fluttershy gave a small sigh of relief as she stood inside the shower, the hot water running down her back and providing a nice sense of comfort, almost one that wanted to wrap her up and sleep. “I needed this,” the pinkette whispered to herself, a small smile on her face as her long, pale pink hair clung to her back, “Ooh… this feels almost hypnotic.” As the hot water hit her, she looked down at her body, looking herself over. She changed so much since middle school...well, body wise that is. Her curves were eye catching, almost rivaling a supermodel in terms of appearance. Her legs were long and smooth to the touch, her skin was soft like silk, and...ahem, her breast were probably the biggest anyone has ever seen, High E, Moderate F Cups at best. She then blushed a bit, recalling how everyone (mainly the boys at school) would stare at her sizable chest. It was because of that she stayed near Rainbow Dash, or any of her other friends, mainly for protection from the guys. It was because of guys like them that she was afraid of finding a boyfriend...that is until she met Silver. He didn’t care how she looked...he loved her for who she was. “..Silver-kun,” Fluttershy whispered, a small smile on her face before she quickly noticed something, “...Are….are my breast bigger?” She quickly turned the shower off and ran to the bathroom mirror to make sure. Last she checked, she was a E-F cup, but now...they looked bigger, probably G-Low H at best. “...They are bigger,” Fluttershy whispered in surprise and shock., “Oh my, I must be a big envy to the girls at school…” “Hey, Fluttershy!” “Kya!” Fluttershy yelped when she heard someone knock on the door, prompting her to grab her towel and quickly cover herself as best she could. “Is everything alright in there?” “You just startled me…” Fluttershy answered, “Uh… did you get my sweater?” “Uh...Yeah. I got it right here in case you get cold,” Rainbow replied from the other side of the door, ”Why ask?” “Just checking…” Fluttershy asked as she quickly opened the door, took the clothes, and closed it, leaving a very confused Rainbow Dash. “...Uh...okay. But hurry up. Twilight and the others are coming over to see how you’re doing,” Rainbow stated. The pinkette just nodded and put on her sweater. “I really don’t get why you never wear anything under that shirt of yours,” Dash admitted. “...I...I don’t like bras. They’re too itchy, and they hurt my...ano, breasts,” Fluttershy replied, blushing a bit as she slowly got dressed. “...can I admit I’m jealous of you, Flutters?” Dash told her. “What do you mean?” “Well, it’s just you’re so...big upfront while I’m…” Rainbow paused as she sighed a little, “A raisin. Compared to you and the others, I’m...flat.” “...Onee-chan,” Fluttershy spoke up, the pinkette finishing putting her skirt on, “Being small has worked to your advantage. I mean, you’re the captain of the track team...and the soccer team, and...you get my point.” “Yeah but...even if it’s just for a day, I’d kill to have a figure like yours,” Rainbow admitted. Fluttershy walked out of the bathroom and walked over to her sister, pulling the tomboy into a hug. “Onee-chan, you’re fine just the way you are,” Fluttershy smiled as they hugged a bit, “It’s not what’s outside that’s important...but what’s inside.” “...I suppose you’re right,” Rainbow smiled a bit before giving off a slight chuckle, “Man...Silver’s a lucky guy to have someone like you in his life.” “He really is,” Fluttershy smiled as they headed downstairs. --- The seven girls all sat in the living room, just talking and chatting about various things before tonight. They had agreed to have a small sleepover to look after their pinkette friend for the evening. “So… the Crusaders will be at Silver Hawk’s place tonight?” Dash checked. “Timid’s holding a sleepover there and I’ll be going over to watch a movie or two with her,” Fluttershy informed. “Which leaves us all alone to watch the movie,” Pinkie spoke up, an excited grin on her face as she shook, the excitable pinkette looking like she was about to burst any moment now. Sunset looked over at Fluttershy, the pinkette looking over at the clock to see what time it was. “...Psst. Twilight,” Sunset whispered to Twilight, “Does Fluttershy look...different to you?” “Hmm? What do you mean?” Twilight asked. “She seems… wider,” Sunset replied. “Wider?” “Yes. Plus…” Sunset paused, shaking off the small blush that had formed on her face, “Does her chest seem...bigger to you?” “...Yeah,” Twilight gave a small nod, “I think I do now that you brought it up.” “Whatcha talkin’ about?” Pinkie asked as she skipped over. “Fluttershy,” Sunset replied, “Doesn’t she look different to you, Pinkie?” “Eh?” Pinkie blinked before looking at Fluttershy, squinting her eyes a bit, ‘..Now that you brought it up, her boobies look a bit bigger, even though she’s trying to hide it in that sweater of hers.” “...am I that transparent?” Fluttershy asked, looking down at her chest.. “...can we please get the movie ready?” Rarity requested. “...R...right. Sorry about that,” Sunset quickly apologized, Twilight and Pinkie nodding in agreement. --- “Okay DVD player’s ready. Anyone got the popcorn?” Rainbow asked as she sat on the couch. “Right here,” Pinkie spoke up, holding a large red bowl of popcorn. “So… what are we watching?” Fluttershy asked. “Well… we’ve been looking through the DVDs you two have… not many interesting ones,” Pinkie admitted as she looked through some DVDs that Dash and Fluttershy had, “And the ones that are I’ve already seen so many times before.” “What about the Sailor Moon movies I have?” Fluttershy asked. They all exchanged looks that said ‘Wait really?’ “Yea… I have them all,” “No offense… but I have seen them all enough times,” Dash stated, “What about one of those Studio Ghibli movies we got?” “OH! I know just what to watch! Wait right here!” Fluttershy smiled as she ran upstairs to get a DVD. “....So….” Dash began. “How has she been anyway?” Sunset asked, wanting to break the silence. “She’s been fine. Though...she’s been having weird food cravings lately.” “Like…?” ‘Well for one, she’s been eating rice with her pancakes,” Rainbow explained, “And I don’t mean on the side. I mean she has it ON her pancakes.” “...and she did get a bit moody on us…” Pinkie informed. “And then there’s that sleepy thing from school…” Sunset added. “...And Timid did mention Fluttershy felt queasy before she fainted,” Rainbow admitted. Before anybody could put the pieces together… “I got it!” Fluttershy smiled as she arrived and put the DVD on the table, “Minna… this is one of my favorite movies! ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’,” “Ooh! I’ve heard a lot of good things about that movie!” Pinkie squealed a bit, “Put it in! put it in!” “Okay,” Fluttershy smiled as she did so. Twilight pulled out her tablet to do a quick search on the movie, “...wow, original release date was July 22nd, 1989. And it’s got lot of good reviews too.” “My parents showed me this when I was little… it’s always been my favorite movie,” Fluttershy admitted. --- The movie was over and the group had begun to think of what they thought of it. "...that….was…” Pinkie slowly began before squealing, “AMA~~~ZING!” “I must say… that was quite the tale,” Rarity smiled. “It was pretty good,” Twilight admitted. “Agreed,” Sunset nodded. Applejack nodded in agreement, “Think Kota’s little sis has this movie… don’t remember…” “Enjoyable,” Dash nodded, “So… shall we switch to something else? Smash 4?” “Random, random, random,” Fluttershy and Pinkie nodded. --- They booted up the game and selected random characters on a random stage. “Alright, who did I get?” Dash asked as she moved around the stage a bit, “Jigglypuff?! Aw, come on! Come on!” “I actually like Jigglypuff,” Fluttershy admitted. “It’s a good character… but you girls got Samus, Dark Pit, Lucina, Roy, Bowser, and Palutena?! I’d rather be ANY of those characters instead of Jigglypuff!” Rainbow exclaimed, “...Ugh. Maybe Wily Castle won’t be as hec-” “...Yellow Devil in coming!” Pinkie shouted as she moved Dark Pit away from what was oncoming. “....Twilight?” “Yes, Dash?” “Does the universe hate me or something right now?” “You do know that Dash hasn’t lost a stock…” Applejack noted. “I’m also Jigglypuff, back off!” Dash retorted before an explosion was heard on the screen, “...A Bob-omb just hit me, didn’t it?”. “No, that was me… and it knocked me and Rarity out,” Pinkie informed. “Stupid bomb,” Rarity muttered. --- =THE WINNER IS… JIGGLYPUFF!= "Haha! I win! Even with Jigglypuff, I still win!” Rainbow whooped as she ran across the room, “Eat it! I am the queen of Smash!” “...You did know that Fluttershy had to go to the bathroom and a bomb knocked her character out, right?” Sunset reminded. “...Oh.” Dash sighed as she headed for the restroom, “How you doing?” “...better,” Fluttershy replied, bags under her eyes as she had a tired, yet annoyed look on her face, “So… let’s get back to the game…” “Can’t.” Dash informed "Games over." “...you cheated,” Fluttershy stated with a frown, “You cheated...didn’t you, Dash?” “No. I-” “You flippin’ cheated…” Fluttershy growled, “You cheated! You god damn cheater!” “She didn’t cheat Fluttershy! I can vouch for her,” Pinkie informed, “Your character just got him from a badly timed explosion.” “LIAR!” Fluttershy snapped, making her fellow pinkette wince, “I had the game paused!” “No you didn’t! I-” “URUSEI! REMATCH! NOW!” “...fine,” the girls sighed. --- “See. I won, fair and square,” Dash told Fluttershy a bit later. “..Rematch.” “Wha-?” “REMATCH!” “Jeez, Fluttershy. Calm d-” Twilight began. “Butt out, Sparkle!” “Don’t talk to my girlfriend like that!” Dash told Fluttershy. “Well I wouldn’t if you hadn’t cheated again!” Fluttershy argued. “Seriously, Fluttershy?! You’re bringing that up again?!” Rainbow snapped, “You’re starting to act like a huge sore loser right now! Do you know that!?” “Hpmh!” Fluttershy scoffed as she stood up and walked away, “I’m going to Silver-kun’s place! Nobody bother calling me!” “Good! Maybe hanging around your stupid boyfriend will help you calm d-!” *SMACK!* The others looked in surprise in shock as they saw what happened...Fluttershy...had smacked Rainbow clear across the face. “...Get out...and don’t bother coming back!” Dash shouted at her. “I won’t!” Fluttershy shouted as she went up to her room to grab a few things, before coming back down and unhooking the Wii U from the TV. “HEY!” Pinkie shouted. “My hard earned money went into buying this! IT'S MINE!” Fluttershy snapped. “Good! Take your junk with you!” Rainbow snapped. "Rainbow!” Pinkie gasped. “What?! It’s clear she doesn’t even want to be here!” Rainbow argued, “So if she wants to go, let her!” Fluttershy finished packing up three or four bags and a suitcase and headed out the door, walking right for Silver Hawk’s house. “...Rainbow Dash!” Rarity shouted as she gave te tomboy a stern glare, “What you did just now was uncalled for!” “She’s right!” Applejack agreed, “Y’all are supposed t’ be family! You shouldn’t a-” “For all I care…” Rainbow began as she walked away, “She’s dead to me…” “Rainbow Cumulus Spectrum!” Twilight shouted, but it was ignored as the tomboy walked into the next room. “...her middle name is ‘Cumulus’?” Pinkie giggled. “BUTT OUT, PINKIE!” Rainbow snapped from the next room. “Eep!” Pinkie yelped as she ducked behind the couch. “As a matter of fact, get out of my house!” Dash shouted, “All of you! GET OUT NOW!” “...I think you may need to slap her again,” Pinkie whispered to Twilight. “I hate having to hit her…” Twilight sighed, “But seeing as someone she saw as family did it to her…I’m afraid of what would happen if I tried.” “OUT! NOW!” Dash shouted at them again. “..Come on, y’all. Let’s go,” Applejack spoke up, “Hopefully she’ll have calmed down by tomorrow…” The group nodded and headed for the door, Twilight looking on in worry as she slowly closed teh front door. --- Fluttershy slowed her pace as she looked back in the direction of where she and Dash lived, but scoffed as she continued her march. “Stupid Rainbow Dash...Rainbow Cheater is more like it,” the pinkette scoffed as she walked on, “She should’ve waited for me to come back. But nope. She went and unpaused it just so she could win.” After walking for a while, the pinkette arrived at Silver Hawk’s home and began to knock on the door loudly. “Okay okay! I’m coming!” Silver’s voice shouted from the other side of the door before he opened it, “Eh? Butterfly-chan? What’re you doing out here so l-” Fluttershy wordlessly walked in and plopped down on the couch, the pinkette putting her things down in a nearby recliner seat. “..Butterfly-chan, what’s going on?” Silver asked as he walked over. “Onee-chan kicked me out…” Fluttershy told him, getting a bit teary-eyed, “I...I said some things...and we got in a bad fight. Now...I can’t ever show my face there ever again.” “What?” Silver whispered in complete shock, surprised to hear Fluttershy’s ‘sister’ would do something like that. Fluttershy began to sniffle a bit before she got up and pulled Silver into a hug, the pinkette sobbing into his shirt as the tears flowed down her cheeks. “...uh… you can… stay here,” he told her. “A...a...arigatou, Silver-kun,” Fluttershy sniffled, holding him close as she continued to cry, the pinkette shaking a little. “Onii-chan… we need more chips… and we need more soy sauce. Quirky keeps eating all of the chips with the soy sauce…” Timid spoke up from the other room. “Sorry!” another voice shouted. “Yea, yea… give me a minute…” Silver responded, “I...just need to do something real quick.” “oh...A-alright, Onii-chan,” Timid replied. “...you can stay here, Butterfly-chan…” Silver Hawk told the pinkette as he got up, “Let me just get you a blanket and some pillows, and we can set you up in th-” Fluttershy pulled him back into the seat, pulling him back into the hug. “Please...let me just be near you…” Fluttershy whispered, “I...I don’t want to be alone right now.” Suddenly, one of the bags she brought with her begun to bounce a little bit, almost as if something was trying to get free. Fluttershy reached down and opened it up, revealing amongst the snacks, a white rabbit was in it. The rabbit bounced up and landed on her lap, yawning a bit before laying down to go to sleep. “Angel?” Fluttershy gasped, “How did...when did you get in there?” The rabbit didn’t seem to say anything as it was fast asleep. Fluttershy just smiled as she began to pet Angel, allowing Silver Hawk to get up and get the snacks for Timid’s party. --- “Huh...I wonder what’s taking your brother so long?” a young girl with dark green poofy hair almost similar to Pinkie’s, currently wearing a black pair of pajamas with green balloons, asked Timid. “Who knows…” Timid sighed. “How is it ya’ll can eat those chips with soy sauce?” A young girl with rose-red hair asked, a pink ribbon being seen in her hair. “Soy sauce just makes them more yummy…” the green haired girl replied. “Oi…” Timid groaned. Silver Hawk walked in and carried a few bowls of food on a tray, a small thing of soy sauce on the side. “Goodie! Chips and soy sauce!” the green haired girl beamed excitedly as she shot up and ran over, “Gimme gimme gimme!” “What’s the magic word?” Silver Hawk told her. “...gimme!” “Nope.” “Just say it Quirky…” Timid groaned. “...Please?” “Good,” he smiled, handing them the food. “Onii-chan? Is everything alright?” Timid asked as she walked up to her older brother, “I heard someone come in, then I faintly heard crying.” “...I’ll explain later…” Silver replied as he walked out of the room, carrying a few empty bowls. “Okay,” Timid nodded. --- “Silver-kun, you don’t mind that I brought some stuff with me, do you?” Fluttershy asked as she began to unpack a few of her things. “No. I don’t mind at all,” Silver replied as he walked back in, carrying a blanket and some pillows, “You’re a guest after all.” “Good,” Fluttershy smiled as she kicked off her shoes and then pulled off her socks, letting her feet out into the open, “...man that was a long walk… I’m tired…” “You need anything else? I can walk to the kitchen and get you something to drink,” Silver offered. “Hmm…I guess a water will do.” “Alright. I’ll be back in a sec,” Silver said as he left the room once more. Fluttershy began to relax, the pinkette resting on top of a Queen sized bed in the guest room. “So nice… and soft…” Fluttershy smiled as she let herself relax. She then heard her phone buzz a bit on the small nightstand next to the bed, the pinkette picking it up to see who texted her. -...sorry about shouting at you.- it read… being from Dash. “...I’m not in the mood to talk to you right now.” Fluttershy whispered as she typed out her text, “But…she is trying to apologize...no no. Even so, that doesn’t give her an excuse to talk to me or Silver-kun like that.” -Leave me alone. I’m not in the mood right now.- Fluttershy’s response read. -...alright. I’ll tell mom you’re over there…just….be safe- Fluttershy smiled as she put down her response, “I will...good night, Rainbow.” --- “Onii-chan…” Timid began as she walked to her brother’s room, “Why is it Onee-chan is in the guest room?” “...It’s...complicated, Timid,” Silver replied. “I don’t mind. I’m glad she’s here,” TImid smiled, “Hopefully if she’s up for it tomorrow, we can have a day to ourselves.” “Don't’ you and your friends still have a project to do?” “...Maybe Onee-chan can help us out with it.” Silver Hawk gave a small eyeroll as he sighed a bit, “Timid...Butterfly...isn’t in the best of moods right now.” “Eh?” “...She got into a fight with her sister,” Silver explained, earning a look of shock from his little sister, “She’s not really up for seeing anybody at the moment, so let’s give her some space for the time being.” “Oh...okay, Onii-chan,” Timid gave a small nod. “Good..and can you please keep this a secret? I don’t want to end up ruining your friends’ good moods.” “I promise,” she nodded as she headed for her room. --- Fluttershy gave a small yawn as she moved around a bit in her bed, the pinkette looking over at the clock to see it was 10 at night. “Hmm…maybe I should check on Silver-kun…” the pinkette muttered as she got up off her bed, “Though, I don’t want to interrupt Timid or anything… hmm…what can I do?” A knock came from the door, startling the pinkette a bit as she fell back down on her bed. “Butterfly-chan, it’s me. May I come in?” Silver Hawk’s voice asked. “Go ahead,” the pinkette told him. The ice blue haired male walked in and sat down next to her, putting down a cold glass of water on her nightstand. “Wanted to get you a new one just in case,” Silver stated, “So...um, how’re you holding up?” “...I’m good…” she informed, “Just...a bit tired and bored is all.” “Oh...I see,” Silver noted, “...Did Rainbow ever call you or anything?” “...She texted me, but I told her I’m not in the mood to talk to her,” Fluttershy replied with a slight frown. “Oh...ok,” Silver Hawk gave a small nod, before noticing a few games sticking out of one of the bags, ”...You took your games with you?” “I was the one who bought them,” Fluttershy stated before huffing a bit, “I’m not gonna let her throw them away.” “Come on. I highly doubt she’d do that.” “...I didn’t wanna risk it.” Fluttershy admitted before she sat up a bit, “I still love her, but… she has some problems dealing with her anger.” “Like Sunset does?” Fluttershy gave a soft nod and recalled how her red and yellow haired friend had a lot of anger issues and lashed out on others, especially when she was stressed. After Sunset’s adoption by Celestia, she began to calm down a bit. Though she still had some anger issues now and then, but she’s learned to control them “...so…uh…” Silver began, trying to find the right words to ask. “So… what?” Fluttershy asked. ‘...Come on, Silver. Say something for crying out loud!’ Silver Hawk mentally yelled at himself. “Can you do me a favor?” Fluttershy asked. “Oh…” Silver blinked a bit, ”Uh...sure. What do you need?” “I… haven’t eaten anything. Can you get me something?” Fluttershy asked. “oh...okay sure. What do you want?”” “...can you make me some noodles?” she requested. “Sure. What kind?” “Ano… Chinese noodles?” “Alright. I can make you some,” Silver nodded as he stood up. “Thank you…” Fluttershy smiled. “No problem,” Silver smiled back, “Anything else you’d like?” “Hmm… “ Fluttershy pondered for a bit, “Maybe… a sandwich with chocolate and honey in it?” “S-wait what?” “I said I’d also like a sandwich with chocolate and honey in it,” Fluttershy repeated, “Is there a problem with that?” “I… don’t know if I have either of those…” Silver Hawk informed, “I’ll check…” “Okay,” Fluttershy nodded. --- Silver Hawk soon walked up to the kitchen and began to look for the noodle packets, opening the pantry and finding what Fluttershy requested. He then pulled out the packets of noodles before walking over to the kitchen counter, putting the packet down. He let out a small sigh as he knew that Fluttershy was expecting, the weird food cravings being an obvious sign.. ‘Her argument with Dash must’ve had something to do with the mood swings,’ Silver mentally figured, ‘...if she figures out, I wonder what she’d do to me?’ --- Silver Hawk was tied up to a tree while upside down, a big red target on his body and face. Dash was wearing a karate gi. She ran over and punched him very hard, managing to at least crack a rib or two. --- ‘...No. No way she could be that brutal...can she?’ --- Silver screamed as he ran away from a VERY livid Rainbow dash, the tomboy carrying a metal baseball bat as her eyes were a pure, bloodshot red. --- “...I am so doomed,” Silver paled. “Did you not study for a test or something?” Timid asked as she walked in. “No…” Silver sighed, not realizing who he was talking to, “I’m...really scared right now.” “Eh? Why?” “Oh I don’t know. How about the fact that my girlfriend is pregnant, and that I’m dead meat once her sister finds out!” Silver exclaimed as he tore open the noodle pack and let it fall into the pan. “...Onee-chan is pregnant?!” Timid gasped softly. This caused Silver Hawk to come to a total hault as he slowly realized who he was just talking with, the ice-bluette slowly looking over his shoulder to see his little sister looking at him. “...You….heard all that….didn’t you?” Timid gave a nod. “...” “...Onii-chan? Daijou-” *thud* “AHH! Onii-chan!” “...oh god no…” he muttered as he sat up, rubbing the back of his sore head, ‘Of all the people who could’ve overheard me… it had to be my little sister! Mou...what am I gonna do now?!’ Silver Hawk let out a groan at this as he stood back up and put the food down. “Timid… what you heard me say, you are not to tell anybody! Especially not Butterfly…if she finds out, or god forbid her sister…” Silver began before taking a very deep breath, “...Timid, just please promise me you won’t tell anyone about this.” “...I promise. Ano, what about after they learn for themselves? Can I tell them then?” Timid asked. “...just...just please go back to your friends,” Silver sighed. “Alright,” Timid shrugged, “But… before I do… does this mean I’m gonna be an aunt?” “...I guess,” he shrugged. “Yay!” Timid cheered softly --- Fluttershy eventually got the sandwich and ate it really quickly, causing Silver hawk to gawk as he held a hot bowl of chinese noodles. “You’re an awesome guy…” Fluttershy admitted, a bit of chocolate and honey on her face, “That was umai.” “...N...no problem, Butterfly-chan,” Silver slowly replied. “Noodles… gimme… please,” Fluttershy told him, giving him a cute eye flutter. “...here,” Silver squeaked as he handed her the bowl, the ice-bluette blushing brightly, ‘damn it! She really knows how to use her cuteness to her advantage!’ Fluttershy began to slurp on the noodles, the pinkette drinking up the broth on occasion. She finished it and then put the bowl down and looked over at Silver Hawk. “It was so good…” the pinkette smiled, “Anymore?” ‘She’s still hungry?!’ “...just a little bit hungry still. Got any dumplings?” “...Uh….yeah.” “Can I have some?” “...sure,” he sighed as he went down to get some. --- Fluttershy was eventually full from three dumplings and looked to her boyfriend with a smile. “Silver-kun, thank you for the amazing meal.” “No problem…” he told her. “Ano… can I ask another favor?” “Sure. What is it?” “Hmm…” Fluttershy thought for a moment, that Silver Hawk should get something nice for her coming there unannounced, “Sleep with me?” “S-wait what?!” “I mean in the same bed, cuddling next to each other. Nothing else.” “...Uh… uh…” “What’s wrong? I’d figure it would make up for me coming in here unannounced.” Silver Hawk had a flushed look on his face, the ice-bluette trying to shake it off. “...uh… is… that… a bad idea?” Fluttershy informed, the pinkette blushing a bti as well ,“If so...g-gomen nasai for trying to suggest it, Silver-kun.” “It… uh… it… uh… let me think about it,” he told her. “Fair enough,” Fluttershy nodded. --- Dash looked over at a picture of herself and Fluttershy, the rainbowette having gotten over being angry and was now fighting the urge to cry, but was slowly failing as small tears tried to escape. “You two had a fight?! Rainbow Cumulus Spectrum, why on Earth did you fight with Fluttershy?!” her mother shouted from behind the locked door. “...” “Rainbow! Rainbow, you open this door right now!” Dash sighed as she walked over and unlocked it, “...she claimed I cheated, when I didn’t. We got into a bad argument, and...things were said...I got smacked by her...and I told her to never show her face around here again.” “RAINBOW SPECTRUM, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!?!” her mother snapped, “She is your sister, and you’re supposed to s-” “DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!” Rainbow argued, tears practically flowing down her cheeks, “...she was being a flipping jerk. I tried to explain things to her, and she wouldn’t even listen.” “...Rainbow… call her and apologize…” Sora instructed. “I tried, but she’s not up for talking to me right now…mom...I...” Rainbow paused as she began to sob a bit, “I...I really screwed up here…” “Yes. Yes you did,” her mother said with a scowl. Rainbow just stood there sobbing, the tears coming out in full force as she began to cry. “...Bowy?” a voice asked, making Dash look behind her mother to see Twilight. “...why are you here, Twil?” the tomboy asked, trying to fight back her tears, “I...I thought I told you and the others to...to…” “I love you, Bowy...I’m not gonna let you sit here alone in your room beating yourself up,” Twilight stated as she walked over. “...You don’t understand, Twil...I...I screwed up royally this time.” “We all screw up at times, Bowy. It’s what makes us human.” “...” Dash sighed before she grabbed onto Twilight and began to sob into her shoulder, the tomboy starting to shake as she held onto her girlfriend, “...I must look like such a crybaby to you…” “Maybe...but you’re my crybaby right now, Bowy,” Twilight smiled softly as she held Rainbow Dash close. --- Silver Hawk soon saw that Timid and her friends were asleep and he proceeded to head for his own room, but he stopped and looked at the door of the guest room for a moment, lightly tapping the knob as he thought. “Butterfly-chan, are you still awake?” Silver asked quietly, “If so...I’m coming in.” “Go ahead,” she told him. “Arigatou…” Silver nodded as he walked in before he instantly blushed when he saw her wearing a soft, forest green nightgown. “Oh. D...do you like my nightgown? I made it myself,” Fluttershy told him. “...I...i like it,” Silver slowly nodded, his face still blushing brightly due to the fact the top of the nightgown was stretched a bit by Fluttershy’s...ahem, now larger chest, ‘Did...did her chest get bigger or something since yesterday?! H...oh right…shutting up now.’ “I knew you would,” Fluttershy smiled softly as she moved over, “So… did you make your choice?” “Yeah. And… I’ll stay here for the night,” he told her as he closed the door. “Arigatou,” Fluttershy smiled as Silver climbed into bed with her, "Good night, Silver-kun." "Good night, Butterfly-chan." > Revalations > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy stretched a bit as she began to wake up. “Ohaiyo Onee-chan…” the shy pinkette greeted as she began to flutter her eyes a bit, seeing she was in Silver Hawk's guest room. She blinked confusion for a few moments before she recalled what happened last night, “...Oh right. The argument…” “Hello, Butterfly-chan,” Silver Hawk’s voice spoke, making the pinkette turn to see him laying next to her in bed. “Hi,” Fluttershy smiled in response before she immediately got up and walked into the bathroom. “You okay?” Silver asked in concern. “J-just peachy!” Fluttershy’s voice replied before the sound of her throwing up followed. Silver Hawk quickly ran over to the door and stood there, a worried look on his face. He lightly tapped the side of the door as Fluttershy slowly opened it a bit, just enough for him to see her face. “On second thought, can you bring me something to help calm my stomach d-” Fluttershy began before covering her mouth, closing the door, and proceeded to throw up once more into the toilet. --- Timid had soon woken up and bid farewell to her friends, the blonde girl currently sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal… only thing was, she was eating the air like it was cereal. She let out an annoyed sigh and then looked over to Yuki and Peaches. “Yuki-chan, Peaches-chan, do you two see any cereal or milk yet?” she asked them. The young fox kit just tilted its head in response while the cat just yawned and stretched a bit. “...Onii-chan! You forgot…!” Timid began before Silver rushed passed her and into the kitchen, “Breakfast?” “Sorry,” Silver apologized as he looked through the fridge, “Give me a sec, and I’ll make us some pancakes or something.” “Okay,” she smiled. --- Eventually, Fluttershy walked downstairs to join them, the pinkette wearing a pale yellow bathrobe on top of her nightdress. She slowly walked over to the table and saw the young blonde girl currently eating some pancakes with a bit of fruit on the side. “This is so good…” Timid smiled as she ate, about to go for another bite before she noticed Fluttershy looking at her, “...Ano, good morning, Onee-chan.” “Morning, Timid,” she smiled as she sat down across from her, “How are you this morning?” “Really good,” Timid giggled, “Me and my friends had a really good time last night. After we were finished with our project, we watched a lot of shows, followed by playing a couple of game on my Wii-U.” “Suge…” Fluttershy smiled. “Hai,” Timid nodded, “Though Quirky wanted to play the Doctor Who Level in Lego Dimensions, and I said no. Plus she kept eating most of the snacks Onii-chan made for us.” Silver Hawk simply gave a small roll of his eyes as he was busy cleaning the dishes. “So Silver-kun, what’re you plans for today?” Fluttershy asked the ice-bluette. Silver’s hand froze a bti just before he could turn off the sink, uncertain of what to say. “Uh… I uh…well….” Silver began, trying to think of something to say, “...Timid, what day is it?” “Saturday.” “Oh...I see…” Silver noted, “I… uh… have some errands to run,” With that, he took his leave, leaving Timid and Fluttershy all on their own. “Hey Onee-chan, can I show you something that I drew?” the young girl asked. “Sure,” Fluttershy smiled as Timid took out a little sketchpad and showed her what was on it, “...” “Is...is it alright, Onee-chan?” Timid asked hopefully. Fluttershy looked at it and noted the various characters drawn on there. “I drew Usagi-san, Sonic, Kirby, Spyro, Amaterasu, and Link,” Timid explained as she pointed to each picture. Fluttershy took a moment to squint her eyes just a bit, looking at each character very carefully. She saw Amaterasu and Usagi standing side by side, while Sonic, Link, Spyro and Kirby were over on another side. “Not… bad,” Fluttershy admitted nervously, “They look nice, Timid-chan.” “Arigatou, onee-chan.” --- Silver Hawk arrived at a bookstore and began searching through the aisles, looking for a couple of books. He took some books that were about mythical animals that Timid had wanted him to get for her, the ice-bluette putting a book on Japanese mythology on top of the pile before sitting down to rest. “...Timid-chan, you are expensive,” Silver muttered to himself. He looked at the seven books that were in the basket, ”Your books alone are gonna be expensive.” He then began to realize how much more tending a baby will be. Plus with his job as a doctor, it was going to be a bit of trouble to help take care of a baby. “...No no. I can’t think like that. I know i can manage that...but how?” the ice-bluette asked himself with a sigh, “I want to be there for Butterfly-chan and our baby...but being a doctor is also a major responsibility.” Silver Hawk leaned back in his seat a bit and began to think of what to do. Should he ask Butterfly’s friends for help if he’s not available?...no. They didn’t even know about the baby yet. Plus if he told any of them… Dash would find out and… well… --- “N...now listen, Rainbow Dash. Why don’t we sit down a-oh my kami!” Silver freaked upon seeing the giant sword Rainbow was holding. “Hissatsu, Omega Vega Slash!” Rainbow shouted, slashing her giant blade down into a ‘V’ shape as it collided with Silver, causing him to explode. --- “....I am so dead…” Silver groaned as he buried his face in his hands, ‘Mou...what would mom and dad do in this kind of situation?! Wait a second… what would they even think when I tell them this?!’ --- “Silver Tempest Hawk, I am very disappointed in you right now!” Silver’s mom frowned heavily. “Indeed. This is unforgivable!” Silver’s father added. “M-matte! I can explain!” Silver exclaimed. “I highly doubt that,” his father responded, “Son, I’m afraid we don’t have a choice.” “...a choice? What’s that supposed to mean?!” “Abo-” --- Silver Hawk violently slapped himself out of his thought and right onto the ground, causing his basket full of books to tip over and spill it’s contents. “...Never… think about that…” he told himself as he got up and began to pick the books up, ‘But seriously, who am I gonna turn to for help?! I can’t ask mom or dad, nor can I ask any of Butterfly-chan’s friends for help! Mou...what am I gonna do?!’ “Sir, are you okay?” an employee asked, “You seem awfully stressed.” “Oh you have no idea…” Silver muttered as he finished picking up the books, thinking he knew the voice from somewhere. “Would you like to talk about it or something?” the employee asked. “...It’s personal really,” Silver sighed as he stood up, “I don’t feel comfortable talking about it.” “...do I know you from somewhere?” the employee asked. “I could say the same about you,” Silver Hawk shrugged as he finally turned to see the person he was talking to was a bluenette with magenta eyes, “Do you happen to have any sisters?” “Just one. Sunset Shimmer,” the employee informed, “Well...we’re not related or anything, but I do live with her and I just call her my sister.” “Oh…” Silver noted before blinking twice, “...Wait. Sonata, right?” “Yeppers,” she nodded. “I thought you looked familiar,” Silver admitted, “But...what’re you doing here?” “I work here,” she informed, showing off her employee’s badge, “...oh yea, I know you… uh… Platinum Robin, right?” “Close… Silver Hawk.” “Right right…” she nodded. --- The two settled in the cafe area of the book store and Sonata was looking over the mythical animal books curiously. “So...what’s with all the animal books?” the bluenette couldn’t help but ask. “Oh those. They’re for my little sister,” Silver explained. “Cool,” Sonata smiled, “So… if you could pick any mythical animal to be, which would you be?” “Hmm…” Silver pondered for a bit, “...I guess a pegasus.” “Nice… honestly, I do think sirens are interesting, but I’d prefer pegasi too,” Sonata admitted as she put the book down, “Just the way they look while flying is just so...cool. Like they don’t have a worry in the world.” Silver Hawk gave a soft nod at that. “By the way, why’d you hit yourself earlier?” Sonata asked curiously, making Silver tense a bit. “...Just...something personal.” “We all have our things we do when we’re stressed, but slapping things isn’t something that would come to mind,” Sonata stated, “So what’s wrong? Why’re you acting so stressed right now?” “...Ugh….can you keep a secret?” “My lips are sealed. I’m super good at keeping secrets. There’s so many secrets I know about Sunset that I can’t tell you or anybody… so… what’s the secret?” Sonata asked. “...Do you remember that Halloween party Pinkie Pie threw?” “Yea… I was to sick to go to it, but yeah, I remember getting an invite,” Sonata nodded, “Why?” “Well...I don’t know who, but someone spiked the punch,” Silver explained, “Me nor Butterfly-chan didn’t know at the time and… well, next thing I know, I wake up the next day with a splitting headache...and bare naked.” “Uh huh…” Sonata nodded slowly, “Go on…” “Well...the next few weeks, Butterfly-chan had been acting...funny.” “Funny how?” “She was easily getting stressed, she kept falling asleep….mood swings.” “Mood swings?” “Yes...Mood swings.” “...Wait a second,” Sonata began in realization, “Did you…?” “Yes…” Silver replied with a sigh. “Don’t worry, I won’t say a word of this to… anybody.” “...Why was that last part delayed?” “...Uh…” “...you promised you wouldn’t say a word and you said you’re good at keeping secrets!” Silver exclaimed. “I am! I am! it’s just...uh…” Sonata began nervously. “...just what?” “...does anybody else know about this?” “Only my little sister.” “...You didn’t tell the women who is carrying your kid about it, but you told your sister? ...I fail to see the logic there. And I should know. I accidentally put ice cream in the oven once when you shouldn’t.” “...She found out by accident,” Silver admitted with a sigh, ”I was just so stressed about what would happen if Rainbow Dash found out, that I didn’t realize I told Timid.” “I know that Dash is like Fluttershy’s big sister. If she finds out…well, let’s just say it’s been nice knowing you.” “Thanks for the encouragement…” Silver deadpanned. “...I was trying to be sarcastic…” “That’s not sarcasm…” Silver stated. “...my bad?” she shrugged. “...Whatever. Look, I’m just really worried right now,” Silver sighed, “I really want to be there for Butterfly-chan and the baby, but...I don’t know what to. I can’t ask my parents for help, nor can I turn to Butterfly-chan’s friends.” Sonata thought for a second, tapping her chin a little as she tried to think of something. The blunette twirled a lock of her hair, an idea hit her and she motioned for Silver Hawk to follow her, the ice-bluette blinking a bit before shrugging a little as he followed her. “There are some books that can offer advice about these things.” Sonata explained. “...Yeah. You’re somehow related to Sunset,” Silver Hawk joked as he followed her to another section of the store. “She was the one who helped me get this job so I can help her pay rent,” Sonata explained as she looked through the various books, “It was a bti troublesome at first, but I got into the hang of things.” “Ahh...c-” Silver began before the bookshelf Sonata was looking collapsed in on itself the moment she touched one shelf, “...” “...Oops.” Sonata gulped. “...Yeah… I think I can find something to help on my own. Why don’t you just go back to work?” Silver Hawk suggested. “...Good idea,” was all Sonata said as she ran out of there. With that, Silver simply began to look through the piles before finding something about accidentally making a women pregnant and how to talk about it. “That...seems way too convenient,” Silver admitted with a sweatdrop as he picked the book up. He flipped through it really quickly, seeing it had some advice that could be helpful, “...Huh. Hmm? ‘Author Kendall Washell and her husband Andrew went through some events shown in this book. Hopefully this book will help those who’re dealing with the same problem.’” He placed the book in his basket and headed over to pay for the books, the ice-bluette making a mental note to thank Sonata the next time he saw her. After he payed and left, he then checked it off of his ‘errand list’ and headed off to continue that work. --- “So…how’re you holding up, Bowy?” Twilight asked as she and Rainbow walked through a small shopping mall. “Better… but I’m still kinda beating myself up for what happened,” Rainbow replied with a slight sigh. “Figured. So that’s why brought you here,” Twilight smiled as she motioned to a sports store, “I figured this would be the best way to help cheer you up.” “...Well I have been meaning to get some new gear for a while now,” Rainbow admitted, “...Alright. Let’s head in and see what we can find.” Twilight nodded as the two walked on in and began to search for a few things. Plus while they were here, Twilight figured Dash could use a new pair of shoes that wouldn’t run out so fast...then again, it’s what she expected from the tomboy. Dash looked to her phone and saw no new texts from Fluttershy, causing the tomboy to sigh a bit. She wanted to talk to Fluttershy in person so she could apologize, but after that nasty fight, she figured the shy pinkette was still miffed at her. “So Bowy…” Twilight began, snapping Rainbow out of her train of thought, “So you wanna go skiing or something this holiday break?” “Huh? oh yeah...maybe,” Rainbow replied with a slight shrug. Twilight said nothing as she looked at her girlfriend’s expression, a look of slight concern and seriousness on her own. “...What? I got something on my face?” Rainbow blinked, wondering why Twilight was looking at her like that. “...you haven’t thought of anything but your sister all day,” Twilight stated with a slight sigh, “Rainbow...I’m worried about her as well, but she’s capable of taking care of herself.” “I know but...that fight we had. It...it was pretty nasty an-” Rainbow began before Twilight pulled her into a kiss to get her to stop talking, “?!” They were like that for two minutes, before Twilight split off of her. “Stop talking, please. Just… don’t say another word…” Twilight whispered to her, resting her head on Rainbow’s shoulder. “Twilight…” Dash blushed at this and smiled a bit before she noticed some scowls coming from some employees, “...What? You got a problem?” “Read the sign,” an employee told them, gesturing to a sign by a window near the front door that had two blue male stick figures, and two pink female stick figures crossed out. “Really?” Dash groaned, “I’m one of your best customers.” “Maybe, but we don't’ allow your kind here in this store,” another employee stated, “I’m going to need to ask you to leave.” “...fine. We’ll leave,” Rainbow frowned, “But don't go blaming me when this places closes because YOU guys kicked out not just your best customer, but the captain of the soccer team, just as regionals are coming up too.” The employees watched as Dash and Twilight left, the former having a very agitated look on her face while the latter had a look of concern as she looked at her girlfriend. “This has just not been my week…” Dash groaned, “On top of getting in a fight with Fluttershy, I got kicked out of my favorite store.” “Bowy…” Twilight began as she put her hand on Rainbow’s shoulder, making the tomboy turn her head a bit to look at her, “Don’t let those guys get to you. So one dumb store doesn’t allow lesbians. So what? There are tons of other stores here.” “I know I know…” Rainbow sighed, “It’s just… I hate those kinds of people, thinking we can’t be together just because we’re girls.” Twilight proceeded to pull her girlfriend into a hug, hoping to cheer her up. Dash smiled softly as she began to pet Twilight’s hair a bit. “Twilight, I’m really lucky to be with you…” Rainbow smiled as she returned the hug. “Same here,” Twilight responded, “...you feeling any better?” “Kinda, yeah,” Rainbow nodded. “Good. Now...how about we head out to get something to eat?” Twilight suggested. “Heh...sounds like a plan,” Rainbow chuckled a bit. --- “Onee-chan, you got a message from one of your friends,” Timid informed as she handed Fluttershy her cellphone. “Soka,” Fluttershy noted as she looked to see who had texted her. -How are you? Rarity 12:14pm. Saturday- ‘It’s Rarity...I wonder what she wants?’ Fluttershy pondered as she replied to the message, “I am doing fine. How about you?” It was silent for a moment, before a response came in. -I’m good. But I just wanted to see how you’re doing… given your… recent disagreement with Rainbow Dash. Rarity 12:15pm. Saturday- “...I’ve calmed down since then,” Fluttershy responded, “...Speaking of Rainbow, how is she holding up?” -Not sure. I haven’t spoken to her since yesterday- Fluttershy was wordless, not certain what to say or what to do. “...I….I see,” Fluttershy responded after a few seconds of silence, “How about the others?” -Pinkie Pie has been spending some time with her sisters, Applejack has been helping out at the farm as usual, Sunset is at the library, and Twilight is currently out on a date with Rainbow Dash to help calm her down- Fluttershy got silent at the mention of Rainbow Dash again. She felt really guilty about what happened between them, but she didn’t know why she just… bursted out into anger like that. She felt like crying, the pinkette mentally berating herself for snapping at her sister like that. She felt like she was on the burst of breaking out into tears before she quickly shook her head. “That’s...nice to hear, Rarity,” Fluttershy replied slowly. -Do you still want to meet up for our spa day?- Fluttershy pondered this for a moment before she typed out ‘yes’. --- Fluttershy arrived at the spa, the pinkette wearing her emerald green sweater (to make sure nobody would stare at her chest), a light grey skirt, and a pair of white high heels with pink leggings. She took a deep breath before she walked on in to see Rarity sitting there. “Hi…” Fluttershy waved. “Hello, dear,” Rarity greeted as she waved back at her, “You look nice today.” “Thank you,” Fluttershy replied with a slight blush, “Y-you too, Rarity.” “Well then, let’s enjoy our time together,” Rarity giggled as she took Fluttershy’s hand and guided them back. “Y-yes,” Fluttershy nodded as her fashion savvy friend guided her through the spa. --- The two were soon sitting a hot tub and were relaxed. “Mmm...I needed this…” Fluttershy sighed in relief as she rested in the warm waters, “Thank you for having me come here, Rarity.” “Not a problem dear,” Rarity smiled, making a tiny blush appear on Fluttershy, “It’s the least I can do for you.” “R-right,” Fluttershy said as she turned her head a little, making a bit of her hair droop in front of her face. “Do you want to talk?” Rarity couldn’t help but inquired. “...I...I guess so.” Rarity gave a small nod as she looked at Fluttershy. “...Wh...what?” Fluttershy asked, wondering why Rarity was staring at her like that. “I’m just giving you my attention,” “Oh. I see…” “Yes…” Rarity nodded as she moved a bti closer, to kind of give Fluttershy assurance she was listening. “...well… after Pinkie’s Halloween party, things have been rather...strange,” Fluttershy admitted. “I know about that, yes. Can you phrase what you mean by ‘strange’?” Rarity inquired. “Hmm…” The pinkette thought for a moment, “Well… you already know about my sudden sleepiness, and...ahem, mood swings.” “I’ve taken a notice.” “Yes. Um...well aside from those, I’ve had weird...food cravings.” Rarity gave a nod, “And?” “...um...well...I’m sure you noticed it…” Fluttershy blushed, motioning to her chest a bit. “...” The purplette was silent for a moment, clearing her throat a bit as she blushed a little, “Yes… I’ve... noticed that when we first got in. I… assumed Twilight and Sunset were joking around a bit. But… now I see it’s true.” “...see what’s true?” Rarity twirled a lock of her hair for a moment, “N-nothing dear. Ahem! C-continue.” “And then… every once in a while, I’ve got this strange feeling in my stomach. Just like… a moment where I felt like something was happening…” Fluttershy replied, “Like I feel queasy or something.” “....I see…” Rarity noted, ‘Hmm...droziness, mood swings, food cravings...ahem, change in chest size, and feeling queasy in the stomach… oh… oh dear. Oooooh dear...I just realized it now.’ “Um… Fluttershy, dear?” “Yes?” “I...think I realized what’s wrong with you,” Rarity replied, “But...promise me you won't freak out at what I’m about to tell you.” “...I’ll try. But can you have that fainting couch ready, just in case?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes...though we are in the hot tub,” Rarity stated, “But yes. I promise.” “Alright… so… what is it?” Rarity took in a sharp inhale and then exhaled, trying to figure out how to word it. “Fluttershy...dear. I believe you’re pregnant.” “...Wh...what?” Fluttershy’s eyes widened at that. “Dear…I’m serious. From what you told me..well, I began to put two and two together and realized you were pregnant.” Fluttershy began to hyperventilate at this, the shy pinkette scared out of her mind right now. She didn’t know what to say or what to do, the shy girl on the verge of fainting any moment now. “Oh dear. Um….uh…” Rarity said in worry as she looked around for something to help Fluttershy calm down. “I’m… I’m… I’m… I’m… I’m… I’m...PREGNANT?!” Fluttershy exclaimed loudly, alerting everyone in the spa. The pinkette then fainted, sinking deep into the hot waters before Rarity pulled her up. “Oh dear! Oh dear!” Rarity began to panic as she looked around, “Um, excuse me! Can somebody please help?! My friend just fainted!” Two of the people who worked there quickly ran to get help while Rarity carefully helped Fluttershy out of the hot tub, the purplette thankful they were wearing swimsuits to keep them decent.
