Chapter 2:

Fluttershy had spent most of her morning attending to her animal friends. By now it was nearly noon and all her wards were steeled in and fed. So Fluttershy stood outside her cottage in her favorite quiet meadow enjoying the sounds of nature and thinking of things that Flutteshy would never admit to out loud. Even so her thoughts floated to a certain Violet and pink maned unicorn who was one of her best friends. 

“If only she was here to enjoy this meadow with me.” she thought smiling.

The light yellow bodied and pink maned Pegasus was so lost in her daydream that she didn’t notice a bright pink pony hiding right behind her. Suddenly the neon pink pony jumped out yelling “Surprise!”

Fluttershy nearly jumped out of her skin then cowered on the ground for a minute before realizing that the source of the attack was her friend Pinkie Pie.

“P-P-Pinkie?” Fluttershy stuttered in a whisper. “W-Why did you do t-t-t-that? She continued still getting her bearings back from the fright.

“Ohmygosh! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you only surprise you. Are you ok? Pinkie pie explained and asked all at once.

Fluttershy blinked for a minute then replied in her usual soft voice. “Well I was surprised. Just maybe a little too surprised.”

“I’m glad you’re ok! So what are you up to? Pinkie continued almost all in one breath.

“Well I was sitting and thinking Pinkie” replied Fluttershy.

Losing interest rather quickly Pinkie replied in a single breath “Well I was on my way to town to get some muffins when I saw you there and thought I’d see what you were up to and invite you!

“Well Pinkie,” Fluttershy started “I need to take of some things first. Maybe later if that is ok with you?”

“Okey dokie lokie I’ll see you around.” replied the hyperactive pony bouncing away.

It amazed Fluttershy as to how Pinkie could talk so fast without passing out. She decided it was a “Pinkie Pie thing” and ambled off towards town. 

“Maybe I’ll get a book from the Library” she thought. “After all it is a perfect day to curl up with a good book outside.”
“And maybe,” she thought a little quieter. “I’ll get to see Twilight Sparkle.

She let a softly but audible “Yay.” And headed off towards the Library at a gently but happy pace.

She took time to take in all her surroundings, truly enjoying nature in its purest forms.
As she approached the Library she began to have second thoughts about visiting the library and her friend Twilight.

“What if she’s busy?”
“Or maybe she knows I like her as more than a friend and doesn’t want to deal with me?”

Despite her mental protests something kept pushing her to the Library. And besides Twilight was one of her best friends and would be happy to see her. She hovered a few inches off the ground outside of the Library door. She knocked very softly so as not to disturb Twilight or Spike and held her breath.
There was the sound of rustling and a clang of a spoon hitting the floor. Fluttershy thought about leaving but something kept her there.

Then much to the shy Pegasus’s surprise out came Twilight Sparkle with a chef’s hat on and an apron.
“Oh hello Fluttershy! Come on in!” Twilight said warmly.

“How May I help you?” she continued smiling.

“A-A-Are you busy? I mean if you are I can come back latter” Fluttershy said pawing at the ground with her hoof.

“Nonsense!” Said Twilight gently leading the shy yellow coated Pegasus into the library. 

Fluttershy smiled at her friend’s warm reception.
“Maybe just maybe…” she thought to herself in a whisper.
