Days passed and it was finally Thanksgiving Day. Like always around the holiday season, ponies and creatures all across Ponyville were hustling and bustling around town with excitement as they brought ingredients home to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with family and friends.
But this year, as she did every year, Pinkie Pie was hosting the biggest Thanksgiving get-together in all of Ponyville in a huge room she had reserved just for the occasion. She was sure that all her friends would be there, but was very disappointed and shocked to find out that Fluttershy could not come.
"What!?" Pinkie said in bewilderment, "How could she miss the best Thanksgiving meal get together in all of Ponyville?"
"She's going through things right now," said Twilight, which wasn't wrong, but was still hiding some confidential information from Pinkie regarding one of their close friends. Twilight knew that Fluttershy would not have wanted her to share it anyway.
"Well, that's too bad," Pinkie said, "One less chair, plate, and silverware set then."
"Yeah, I'm sorry, Pinkie,"Rainbow Dash said,"I got word from Fluttershy. She says she's not coming for undefined reasons."
"Well, you know what they say," Pinkie said, "The party must go on!"
"Don't you mean 'the show must go on'?" Starlight asked.
"Eh, something like that," Pinkie replied, "Let's get this Thanksgiving fest and meal started!"
Meanwhile....
"Yes," Fluttershy said, "Do it. I'll be watching everything and don't ask me where I got this crystal ball."
Fluttershy intentively watched as Pinkie Pie set the table. On it was a cornucopia with different autumn fruits and cornbread. Adjacent to the left sat steamed dinner rolls in a clear white bowl decorated with cupcakes along the rim. Towards the middle of the table, there sat mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, and various types of casserole.
But as you neared the center, Fluttershy felt a mix of emotions. She felt both sorry for the turkey and enraged that it was in the center of the table and ready to be eaten after being thoroughly cooked in the oven.
That was it for Fluttershy. She didn't have to see any more to make her conclusion. "I won't let them hurt you," Fluttershy said while petting Angel Bunny's fluffy white head, "Not on my life."
So Fluttershy took to the extreme and set down her crystal ball. This was where things were about to get interesting. Before the rest of the Mane 5 knew it, Fluttershy had appeared right in front of them with a rage that they've never seen before on Fluttershy. The once kind and innocent young pegasus had now abandoned herself and was ready to strike for the sake of the animals. Her eyes turned a bloodthirsty red with her face red with anger, a sign that something was wrong - - very wrong. She jumped in front of the Thanksgiving table.
"You can't stop me!" Fluttershy said, "How dare you eat a turkey for Thanksgiving? That is morally wrong! Have you simpletons learned NOTHING!? Now you shall PAY!"
"It's not like that, Fluttershy," Twilight said, "You can't go around telling everycreature what they should and shouldn't eat."
Fluttershy hung her head. "I--," she said, closing her eyes with remorse. Suddenly, Fluttershy became angry again. "YOU WILL NOT EAT MEAT!" she shouted, "I WON'T ALLOW IT!"
I Speak for the Animals Lyrics
Fluttershy: You are ignorant
To how things work
Around here
And I'm about
To make it really damn clear
Turkey is forbidden
Don't think that it's fine
I will hunt you down
Until I receive
What's really needed
What the animals need
Is mine
Are you blind
As a bat
Flying through the night sky?
Do you know
It's about time
You say goodbye?
I will stand by
I will guard them
With my life
Until I die
I will protect them
Shower them with love
I speak for the animals
That includes the dove
I'm putting my hoof down
I say no!
You messed with me
And now this is how
Things are gonna be
Because you cut the turkey
Next time I see
A turkey on that table
Your life isn't gonna be so stable
Anymore
You've been playing the game
I've been trying to protect them
Yet you place the blame
Causing me to also protect
My name
I never wanted it
To come to this
But really
You've brought it
Upon yourself
How can you be OK with this?
How can it give you bliss?
When the turkey suffered
Just to get to your plate
Now I feel the same hate
That they felt
And I'm not backing down
You've all let me down
I'm not backing down
I'm not backing down
I'm not backing down!
Going around
And around
And around!
Are you blind
As a bat
Flying through the night sky?
Do you know
It's about time
You say goodbye?
I will stand by
I will guard them
With my life
Until I die
I will protect them
Shower them with love
I speak for the animals
That includes the dove
I'm putting my hoof down
I say no!
Are you blind
As a bat
Flying through the night sky?
Do you know
It's about time
You say goodbye?
I will stand by
I will guard them
With my life
Until I die
I will protect them
Shower them with love
I speak for the animals
That includes the dove
I'm putting my hoof down
I say no!
