//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Taming dragons with Fluttershy // Story: The Mane Seven Elements of Harmony // by psinet //------------------------------// The next day a thick black cloud of smoke appeared in the sky Twilight called Sunset and the others telling them it was being caused by a dragon's snoring and that if the dragon continued Equestria would be covered for 100 years. "Now." Said Twilight "We will have Flutter-" Sunset interrupted her "It won't be that easy Twilight She is afraid of dragons." "But Spike-" Twilight started only for Sunset to point out he is a baby and the animals she cares for are not dragons and reminded Twilight that most dragons are big but Sunset told Fluttershy she would protect her as she fought a dragon herself. "But you're the Element of Courage." Fluttershy said Sunset responded "Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway." So they set out eventually reaching the cave Twilight tried talking to the dragon Pinkie tried being funny Rarity tried charming him despite Sunset saying it wouldn't work Rainbow Dash got so fed up with all this she kicked the dragon who came out of the cave "Uh Sunset." Said Applejack "Just how big was that dragon you fought?" "This one is half the size of the one I defeated." Answered Sunset bracing herself for attack the dragon simply flapped his wings and blew them into a rock angering Fluttershy to the point she yelled at the dragon making him cry but then she told him he wasn't bad and to find a new place to sleep and do something about the smoke.
