At the Pet Shop of Canterlot Mall; Fluttershy, dressing in her Pet Shop's White Shirt and Cherry Colored Skirt, was happily showering and scrubbing Applejack's Dog - Winona.

After receiving the lick by the dog's lick, Fluttershy giggled happily, "Who's a good girl?" She patted the dog's head gently, "Almost done, Winona!"

Winona panted happily as she stood still, allowing Fluttershy to wash the soap out. After that, she used hair dryer for blowing her drying her fur off, thought causing hers to get fluffy. 

The door suddenly opened. Fluttershy turned and found Applejack, Sunset and Icy entered the saloon. She picked and put the dog down. Winona shook her fluffy to normal fur. The dog barked happily as she trotted towards Applejack to grab and held her up. And at the same time, the dog licked her master's face.

"Wow! Winona looks cleaner than a whistle!" Applejack commented. 

"Now she's all ready for the photo shoot." Fluttershy said happily.

"Uh, photo shoot?" Sunset asked in surprise.

"For the charity calendar." Icy explained. "We're making it to raise money for the local animal shelter. Fluttershy's been doing it. She enjoyed it a lot." 

Fluttershy nodded, "It's gonna feature all of our pets."

Fluttershy shown Sunset to the animals' line up and sitting down on the red pillows. They consisted of Rarity's Opal the White Cat, Rainbow's Tank the Tortoise, Fluttershy's Angel the Rabbit, Twilight's Spike the Dog, Shadow Dragon's Dragoking the Anaconda, Blazefist's Zuko the Falcon, Aqua's Naga the White Malinois Dog, Saber's Ace the Naked Mole Rat, Laxtinct's Pabu the Ferret, Tailtech's T-Pup the robotic dog and Terrorcreep's Naughty the Bat.

"Wow, that's great! I wish I could contribute, but—" Sunset commented but stopped as she turned and found Applejack patted Winona happily. She sighed, "I don't have a pet."

Icy nodded, "Me too. And too bad for Shorty, he hates pet because he doesn't like animals messing up with his lab."

"Oh!" Fluttershy said in concern before gasped, "Do you want one?"

"No, no. I wouldn't even know what to get." Sunset declined.

Icy nodded, "Yeah. Maybe I'll check it out by myself."






On the next day, both Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force brought and gathered their own pets at the music room for photo shoot. Shorty wasn't there since he's allergic to cats. Cutie Mark Crusaders were there as well to watch. Sunset and Icy joined the party as they were sitting down while watching the event.

As both girls were watching their friends' playing with the pets, they can't take their eyes off and awing happily to see how cute and cuddly the animals are. Twilight and Nyx were grooming Spike's appearance. Applejack and Apple Bloom were training Winona. Rarity was teaching Sweetie Belle about brushing gently on Opal's furred tail. Rainbow and Scootaloo were feeding Tank. Pinkie, Laxtinct and Tailtech were hugging their pets, though two are stuff and robotic animals. Angel was patting her rabbit. Shadow Dragon was training his anaconda. Aqua was scratching and tickling her dog. Blazefist held Zuko on his hand. Terrorcreep fed some strawberries to Naughty. Saber and Ace were enjoying their cheesy nachos happily. Flash was playing with newly pet cat named Impact, given by Twilight when she found the same animal from last Monday.

"Okay, everypet, get ready for your big close-up." Fluttershy said calmly.

All the pets quickly gathered and sat down on the backdrop cardboard of colorful rainbow with clouds. They all smiled happily as they're ready for to get the shot.

Icy squealed happily, "I can't take it. I want to have pet too!"

Sunset nodded, "Me too! Fluttershy!" Everyone turned and looked at her and Icy. She continued, "We've changed our mind! Will you help us... choose a pet?"

Fluttershy gasped, "I thought you'd never ask!"








Fluttershy took both Sunset and Icy to the animal shelter for finding and adopting the animals as their own pet. Both of them awed in amazement and surprise of what they just saw. They can't wait to find and adopt them.

"Welcome to the animal shelter!" Fluttershy introduced happily, "Oh, I just know there's gonna be the perfect little pet for you somewhere in here!"

Sunset and Icy approached to the large container cages-like, which contained of various small and furry animals like hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs and some shrews. Fluttershy approached and picked the light brown colored Arctic Shrew up.

"They're just so cuddly. Don't you think, you two?" Fluttershy asked happily.

Icy gasped as she took the shrew from Fluttershy. She commented, "It is! It really is! She's cute and perfect! I like her! She's so fluffy and furry for me to touch!" She awed happily as she nuzzled her shrew's fur, making it squeaked happily. She smiled, "My little Olaf!"

"Eh, not for me. Maybe something a little less... furry?" Sunset said uneasily.

Fluttershy nodded as she led both Sunset and Icy to the aquarium, which contained of various types of fishes. One of them was a yellowish colored goldfish with red stripes on fins.

"How about a betta fish?" Fluttershy suggested, "No fur at all. And this one's got beautiful fins."

Icy nodded happily while looking at the fish, "And it has the same stripes as you are. It's perfect for you."

"Very funny, Icy," Sunset commented. She sighed, "It would be cool to be able to hold my pet."

Fluttershy nodded understanding as she too knows how she felt about wanted to touch and feel close to the pet. She gasped in realization, "Ooh, I know just the thing!"

Fluttershy guide and led Icy and Sunset to another aquarium tank, which consisted of various scaled reptiles and lizards. Sunset was amazed by the species while Icy looked disgust as she kept her shrew close to her.

"Uh, Fluttershy. No offense. I don't think reptiles are good for her," Icy said in concern.

Fluttershy giggled, "Don't judge the book's cover. Remember the anaconda? People thinks it's a terrifying and deadly snakes. It's true, unless you provoke it to attack you. Many people proven that snakes can be pets including Shadow Dragon. And besides, Sunset decides which animal she wanted to pick."

Icy hummed, "I guess you're right."

Sunset stopped at once as she came across to golden lizard with black spots. She gasped and awed in amazement and surprise of what she was looking at.

"Hey there, little guy." Sunset greeted happily. The lizard slowly turned its head to Sunset. All it ever did is smile charmingly at her. And to her, she saw something gold bright colors in her. It makes her to smile happily, "Well, aren't you just a little ray of sunshine!"

Sunset turned to Fluttershy, "I'll take him."

Fluttershy nodded happily while sniffled a bit as she's proud and happy that her two friends have found and adopted the pets.







After finding and adopting the pets, three girls returned to the Canterlot High School's Music Room. Fluttershy readied with the camera to take the shot on all of the pets including Olaf and Ray, who were shy and a bit of distance from them. Their owners smiled, awed and commented happily to see their pets got along well.

Both Olaf and Ray turned and looked at Fluttershy. The shy girl smiled at them, "Oh, don't worry. You can scoot in a little, sweetie. They won't bite."

Both pets were still shy and uncertain until the owners came and held them up for the moment.

Icy patted Olaf gently, "Everything will be fine, Olaf. You can count on me."

"It's okay, Ray. I'll take care of you, okay." Sunset said calmly as she has the lizard climbed on her little finger. She has her face gently nuzzled with his, "Promise."

Icy and Sunset returned both Olaf and Ray to the group, and this time, they're close to other animals. And just before Fluttershy could snap the photo, Angel jumped on surprised Spike's head, along with Dragoking coiled him and Winona up tightly and close to him. He also smiled widely and happily, at the same time. And at the same time; Naga, Opal, Impact and Pabu leaned on them from behind. Naughty and Zuko landed while showing off their wings proudly. Ace, Tank, T-Pup, Ray and Olaf hopped and made some funny faces. The photo has been snapped on it.

Fluttershy took the photo out from her camera. She shown it to her friends. They awed happily to see how cute, friendly and close their pets are. A great photo for the charity calendar, indeed.
