When Fleur de Lis comes to Ponyville to help her friend, Rarity, earn Hoity Toity's endorsement, Fluttershy finds herself falling head over heels for the prench model.

Unfortunately, Fluttershy is too nervous to admit her feelings to Fleur, even after Rarity finds out about them. Will this be the one that got away or will she find the courage to ask her out and possibly land the catch of a lifetime?

Twilight Sparkle is having a stressful day. She has agreed to organize Rarity's surprise birthday party, but all her friends seem troubled one way or another: Applejack is overworked, Rainbow is fretting, Pinkie is acting even weirder than usual, and Fluttershy finds herself distracted by thoughts on a certain somepony.

On top of it all, Cadence sends Twilight a mysterious jewel suspected to possess magical abilities. What is the purpose of this enigmatic stone, and will its dark secrets be uncovered before it's far too late?

Rarity, meanwhile, is simply looking forward to her birthday party, even though she is technically not supposed to know about it. What she doesn't know is that she is in for a birthday she will never forget.

This story was my contribution to the Writer's Group Contest.

Chronologically, it is set at some point in the middle of Season 3.

In the (not so) magical land of Canterlot High School, Fluttershy finally works up the nerve to tell her crush how she feels. How will they handle this news? Will she find love or will she be dashed upon the rocky shores of heartbreak?

Fluttershy and Rarity have been going on weekly spa trips together for a while now, since even before Shy and Rainbow Dash started dating. Rainbow begins to get suspicious about the nature of these visits.

Written for One-Shotober.

Rainbow Dash: Brave, Bold, Headstrong, Strong, Fast, Loyal.

Fluttershy: Timid, Weak, Kind, Slow, Agile, Compassionate.

They are the best of friends, Rainbow and Fluttershy had been through it all. Rainbow Dash always had been there for Fluttershy, protecting her, fighting for her. Living the Element Of Loyalty well. And Fluttershy always wanted to repay for her fast Pegasus friend.

But when a dangerous storm is created, trapping Rainbow within it, and throwing her out making her fall to her death. Fluttershy can only do either two options:

Fly...

Or Hide

“H-hello, you’ve reached Fluttershy. I’m sorry I can’t come to the phone right now, but if you could leave a message I will get back as soon as possible. Thank you…”

What could a smug, arrogant, disrespectful, inconsiderate, country-town farmpony possibly have to offer a seamstress down on her luck? Migraines, premature wrinkles, a revolutionary new fashion line, and a burning attraction that they'd both deny until the moon crashed into Equestria. That's what.

Rated "Teen" for suggestive themes, crude humor, innuendo, and shameless drama written by yours truly.

(Many thanks to the ever-helpful Pearple Prose for his generous proofreading and suggestions. And an extra-special thanks to the fiction and fanfiction authors that have helped push my writing skills to new heights.)

Enjoy!

After coming to live in Ponyville and discovering the joy of having friends, Twilight found a new appreciation for Hearth's Warming and its story about companionship keeping the cold at bay. It would come as a surprise to her to learn that anypony could think she's forgotten the spirit of Hearth's Warming, but the new Princess of Friendship has a habit of sometimes missing details, even when they're right under her snout.

On Hearth's Warming Eve, Twilight is visited by three ghosts who take her on a journey across time to show her what she's almost missed.

Pinkie Pie was coming over to Fluttershy's house to invite her to a party when she witnessed a shocking scene: Gilda trying to eat Fluttershy's tongue! She immediately knew she had to get her friends so they could stop that mean griffon before it was too late. After all, why else would Gilda have her beak in Fluttershy's mouth?

Fluttershy has always been a fan of romance. She reads books about it all the time, and her dream stallion's always on her mind. However, her whole world starts to crash down around her when she recognizes those unmistakable signs in her friends... Could they be hitting on her?
