“I know I shouldn’t let it get me down, Rainbow.” Fluttershy sobbed on the phone. “But, with the weather going on like this, it’ll take me a while to calm down. Talk to you later.”
Fluttershy hangs up her phone sadly. She was planning for a picnic with her friends. But, it was raining. So there is no picnic. This made Fluttershy very sad.
This rain ruined everything. Fluttershy cried. I’ll be in a miserable mood all day!
Fluttershy started crying like mad. Her father came comes in with a straitjacket in hand.
“I’m sorry, Fluttershy.” Mr. Shy said with concern. “But, this is for your own protection.”
In a matter of minutes, Mr. Shy strapped the straitjacket on his little lady. She was a little concerned.
“Dad,” Fluttershy squeaked, “I’m not going berserk. What’s with the straitjacket?”
“You got so upset,” Her father explained, “I was afraid you might hurt yourself.”
Fluttershy realized what her father planned. But, is still upset. “I guess so.”
“And, I asked somebody to comfort you.” He called outside her door. “Come on in, Karina.”
In steps a gray skin girl with flowing red hair, big round ears, and a black nose.
“G’ day mate.” The girl greeted.
“Karina Koala?” Fluttershy gasped. “Oh my.”
“I’ll leave you guys alone for a bit.” Mr. Shy said as he left the room.
Fluttershy sits on her bed as Karina walks over to her.
“You’re dad told me that you got upset when weather canceled picnic plans.” Karina said.
“You’re right.” Fluttershy replied sadly. “I was starting to cry like crazy. I guess that’s why dad strapped this straitjacket on me.”
Karina placed her hand on Fluttershy’s shoulder. “You aren’t the only one who’s plans got altered.”
“What?!”
“Me and my bestie were going to have a picnic with our friends in Junglewood. But, a rainstorm ruined those plans. Everyone was very disappointed.”
Fluttershy was very surprised. “Wow. I hope you guys didn’t get soaked.”
“Only a little sprinkle, Fluttershy. But, we made it to our homes before the rain picked up.”
“Speaking of besties,” Fluttershy wondered as she looked around, “where IS Dab?”
Soon, a koala bear came into the room, and went to Fluttershy.
“There’s your answer, mate.” Karina answered.
Fluttershy enjoys Dab’s cuddles. Just then, light came from Fluttershy’s window. Karina looks out, and calls out to her friends. “Fluttershy. Dab. Look!”
They join Karina to the window, and saw that the sun came out. Fluttershy felt better that the sun was out. She got happier when she saw a rainbow in the sky.
“I’ll bet my friend, Rainbow Dash would smile at this scene too.” Fluttershy said happily.
“I’m sure of that.” Karina agreed, looking at the rainbow.
Later, after the straitjacket was taken off, Fluttershy visited Rainbow Dash to have a picnic, inside the living room in case the rain came back.
“I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before.” Fluttershy said.
“Probably you’re used to picnics being outdoors.” Rainbow figured. “At least Karina Koala and Dab helped you get over the weather problem.”
Munching on a sandwich, Fluttershy realized that Rainbow Dash does have a point.
