(Part3) // Story: Battle of the Moon and Sun // by EASTON //------------------------------// Ponyville: Outskirts Of Town One hour later The outskirts of town were so calm and well kept one could easily mistake them for a park, there were even some benches around. "So, next on the list we have music. The last one but it doesn't say who is in charge." "Well we had to provide the list two weeks ago and that was decided a week ago so it was decided to just select a location and send the list." As they were walking they heard a distant birdsong fanfare. By the sound of it Twilight thought it might have to do with what she came here to do, after all, that birdsong was much too coordinated to be natural. When she got closer she saw a yellow mare with pink mane and three equally pink butterflies for a cutie mark talking to the birds. "Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean, no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off." Twilight had seen enough, she was without a doubt the one in charge. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three..." "Hello!" Her greeting caused the to give a yelp and the birds to fly of. "Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful." She got no answer. "I'm Twilight Sparkle." Again, no answer. "What's your name?" She very quietly responded "Um... I'm Fluttershy." "I'm sorry, what was that?" She now answered even quieter "Um... My name is Fluttershy." "Didn't quite catch that." At this point the yellow pegasus was just squeaking. "Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!" The only answer she got was more squeaking. "Oookay." When she returned to Minuette, who had been watching from afar all she could say was, "Well, that was easy." Minuette gave a small giggle to her friend's statement. "She's Fluttershy. The shyest pony you'll ever meet." "That explains a lot." After that all Minuette had to say was, "Lunch?"
