//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 - Part 2 - Fluttershy // Story: Green and Friends - Saga 1 - Domestics // by blaa6 //------------------------------// Green Thunder trotted around the square, saying hello to some of the ponies. Lyra, Bon-Bon, Octavia, and Vinyl were all keeping the birthday girl busy as Green and his friends set everything up. As he turned the corner, he saw Fluttershy handing an invitation to Berry Punch. “Thank you so much. We’ll see you there,” she said as Berry closed the door. She turned and saw Green looking at her. “Hello, Green Thunder. How are the preparations from Twilight’s side?” “We found everything we needed. The others are finishing up before they head to Sugarcube Corner. She asked me to check with you guys. So, how are things going?” Fluttershy smiled. “I’m just about done with the final invitations. The last one is for Maud, just outside of Ponyville. Would you like to come with me?” she offered. “Sure,” he replied. They began towards Maud’s cave. Fluttershy looked at the clock on the street corner. “As much as I love nature and would love to walk there, we are on a bit of a time crunch. Why don’t we just teleport there?” Fluttershy suggested. Green Thunder face-hoofed. “Right. We’re in a hurry. Ok. Here we-” “WAIT!” Fluttershy said suddenly, putting a hoof to her ear. “Ms. Fox?” Out of nowhere, an orange fox came out of the bushes and ran over to the yellow pegasus. The fox was panting and whimpering. “Aww. That’s terrible.” She turned to Green. “Ms. Fox’s pups are trapped under a rotten bridge. I need to help. Go on without me.” Green put up a hoof. “I’m going too.” He leaned over and pet the fox. “I will always help a lady in need.” He puffed out his chest. Fluttershy chuckled as the fox hopped up and zoomed in the direction of the bridge, Green and Fluttershy in hot pursuit. They approached the bridge. “Ok. You tell Ms. Fox that I’ll lift up the bridge so they can get out fast,” Green exclaimed. She nodded as she explained it to the fox. The fox ran under the bridge, told her pups the plan and they all huddled together. Green fired up his horn as he lifted the rotting bridge with his magic. The fox and pups scurried out from where the bridge used to be. Fluttershy went over to them to see if any of them needed help or was injured. While she did that, Green took the rotting pieces and teleported away with them. He teleported back with a few bundles of wood and nails. He started to spin into a tornado, lifting the supplies into it as the tornado went to where the bridge once was; Hammering and sawing noises could be heard from inside the commotion. Fluttershy and the foxes looked up to see what was happening; the tornado slowed and came to a stop. “I present to you your new and improved bridge!” He exclaimed, pointing to the newly constructed bridge. It was painted with a Chestnut finish along with a very detailed engraving of the ponies and the foxes. They looked at the bridge in awe. “That’s not all.” He pointed towards the space under the bridge. They looked under to find a large pet bed with many pillows and blankets. The foxes piled onto Green, licking him happily. “H-hey! Stop! That tickles. You’re welcome.” They got off of him and made their way under the new bridge. “That was so nice of you, Green. Thank you,” Fluttershy said, smiling at him. “I’ll do anything to help out,” he replied. “Now then. Shall we?” She nodded as they teleported to Maud’s house. Once they arrived, they headed into the cave. Green still couldn’t believe Maud would live in a cave with gems and geodes, but he knew she loved rocks, boulders and all things geological. Once they had made it into the inner cavern, they saw Maud eating some Rocky Road ice cream. She turned to face them. “Hello, Fluttershy. Green. What can I do for you?” She said with her signature monotone voice. Fluttershy trotted over to her and held out an invitation. “Derpy’s birthday party? Sounds good. I’ll be there.” Fluttershy smiled as she gave the paper to Maud. “We’ll see you-” Fluttershy began, but when they turned to face her, she was gone. “M-maud?” They looked around. “Maybe teleporting and fourth wall powers run in the family?” Green suggested. Fluttershy just took a deep breath and let it out. “I’m done with my job. Can I please get a lift back to my cottage? The animals need a quick dinner before the party,” she said. He teleported them out of the cave and right in front of her cottage. “Thank you.” She started trotting to her front door. “Do you know where Rarity is?” he asked. She turned around to face him. “At her boutique, I believe,” she said, nodding sweetly. “Thank you,” Green replied as he teleported away, Fluttershy headed into her home and shut the door behind her.
