//------------------------------// // Day 4 // Story: Chibi Flan's Foalsitter // by Lucky Star Kona-chan //------------------------------// The next morning. Fluttershy woke up, rubbed her eyes some yawned softly, and tried to get out of bed to go do her morning routine. But something stopped her from doing so; looking down at her side she saw the little form of Flan hugging her barrel. With a warm smile Fluttershy pat Flan slowly and lightly, ‘It would be bad to wake her up, but how can I get out of bed without doing that?’ she thought to herself still somewhat sleepy.  Looking outside the windows she could see that it was still kind of early, ‘I’ll let her sleep some more, is too early anyways’ after that Fluttershy positioned herself below the sheets again and hugged Flan to sleep some more. An hour later. The bright of the sun struck Fluttershy in the eyes forcing her to wake up, she didn’t know how much she slept but it didn’t matter much since Flan had her deserved extra hours of sleep. ‘Ok, time to wake her up…’ but Fluttershy didn’t feel Flan hugging her anymore; lifting the sheets she didn’t saw her on the bed either. “Flan?” she was getting worried, and shoot out of bed and downstairs. When she got down, she searched frantically everywhere, below the couch, on the cabinets, the closet, the bathroom. But she didn’t find Flan. Her eyes were watering, “Flan!?” her normally not loud voice, got up in volume. Catching sight of Angel she went to him dangerously fast, surprising the rabbit. “Angel! Did you saw Flan around!?” she asked very worried. Angel shook his head. Now that did it, Fluttershy was now crying. “W-why did I take my eyes off her, how could I be so irresponsible?” “Uu?” she heard Flan’s voice. Looking around she found her standing at the now opened door, watching her with confusion. Suddenly she was caught in a hug, “I w-was so worried, I thought that probably you were in danger out there on your own.” Flan pat the sad mare on the back to comfort her. After that Flan explained that she was playing outside with some of the animals, and then heard noises from the forest she found a group of Timberwolves, but she called them stick dogs chasing a group of bunnies. What happened when Flan stepped into that should remain a secret for the generations to come. Just ignore the big pile of firewood at the side of the cottage. “Oh… its ok Flan, you did something good. But promise me that you wouldn’t do something so dangerous again please?” Flan rolled her eyes but obliged because she didn’t want to see Fluttershy sad. 40 minutes later. Flan helped feed the animals and cleaning in general. After a quick breakfast in which Flan actually got something more adequate to her normal diet because Fluttershy noticed her long fangs and sharp teeth. Flan wanted to go to town, Fluttershy went with her because she had some things to buy. Some groceries bought later. Fluttershy had to go back to leave her groceries at her cottage, then remembered today was the weekly visit at the spa with Rarity. She asked Flan if she wanted to go, at which Flan refused politely, she wanted to see Rarity again but a spa was no-no for her. Being by herself again Flan wanted to do something, anything that could be considered not boring. Which was hard to do because for what she saw so far ponies weren’t keen on doing very much of anything. So she opted for sitting in a bench on the park, she saw a double mint unicorn in the distance, a tan mare with a messy mane complaining about hooves being useless, a weird plushy signed by ****, a black alicorn, a bug thing and a ball of cotton candy with eyes. Yep this was a weird sight, but she saw weirder in home. She got tired of the boringness so she shot up to the sky and zoomed in the air space for a while. Something she didn’t saw was a certain mare in a cloud sleeping, she passed too close making the cloud poof and abruptly wake said mare. Rainbow quickly stabilized herself to not end up face first in the dirt and probably avoiding multiple fractures, but I guess we will never know. “What the hay was that!?” Said Rainbow while rubbing her headache away, which obviously didn’t work because that is not how things work. When she focused on the thing that disrupted her noon nap, she noticed something, “Wait is that…” to confirm her hunch she chased after it. Flan kept flying around effortlessly not noticing the rainbow trail chasing her. Rainbow on the other hoof wasn’t able to catch up, ‘she’s fast, I guess that settles it then’ she pushed herself to go full speed and this time she was able to catch up. “Hey!” Flan turned after hearing that, in front of her a rainbow blur tried to stop but the momentum was too much and dragged on for quite the distance. Some seconds later, (Tell me if this time transactions are getting too hardcore guys). “Uff, you’re really fast for being so small.” Flan gave her an unimpressed stare and lazily floated around. “Hey, emm… aren’t you like Remilia’s daughter or something?” This made Flan stop suddenly showing her back to Rainbow, slowly and creepily she turned to face her with a stare that said ‘explain yourself or I’ll disintegrate you.’ The stare shocked Rainbow and now was visibly nervous, “W-well you see, in my two week training camp I had in the other world, I saw an exhibition of skills and Remilia showed up there. She was awesome like everypony else, I still have a lot to learn from them, but you look a lot like her and that’s why I asked.” In another dimension someone facepalmed pretty hard. ‘Ok, where is my little devil hiding now?’ thought a very disheveled Twilight, her eyes twitching every once in a while, her pupils were very small. ‘I probably need some help with this, probably some sad ponies or in danger ponies to get to her soft spot! That’s easy to get! This plan is genius!’ she let out a weird chuckle. A lost branch hit her on the head. The branch has been broken. She didn’t even flinch at that and continued searching around the elements of her master plan.
