44. Dance lessons with Cailey Cow

Fluttershy paces back and forth in her room. The diner where Pinkie Pie works is hosting a 50s style party. That party is going to feature some dancing. That’s why Fluttershy is nervous. She’s not sure how to dance 50s style. Just then, someone knocks on her door.
“Who’s there?” Fluttershy squeaked.
“Hey, Flutters.” A groovy voice calls out. “It’s Vinyl. May I come in?”
“Uh, sure.”
Vinyl Scratch steps in, and sees Fluttershy shaky.
“Something wrong, girl?” Vinyl asked with concern.
“I’m worried about that 50s night at the diner.” Fluttershy replied. “I heard there’s going to be a lot of dancing. And,...”
“You’re afraid you're not that good.”
Tears welled up in her eyes. “Yes.”
Vinyl comforts the nature lover, hoping to help her. “Don’t worry, Fluttershy. You’ll get into the groove. I already asked a partner to help you.”
“A partner?” Fluttershy said with confusion.
Vinyl nodded. Since it’s a beautiful day outside, the girls went outside. Fluttershy wore a lavender short sleeve shirt and black 3/4 tights as Vinyl set up a CD player.
“Are you sure I’ll learn these dance moves?” Fluttershy asked.
“You’ll be fine.” Vinyl replied. “I have some 50s style music ready. And, your teacher will help you too.” The gate in Fluttershy’s backyard opens. “Hey! You made it.”
In steps a marigold colored girl with curly light brown hair, two ears sticking out, and what looks like horns on her head. Fluttershy was surprised to see her.
“Oh dear.” Fluttershy gasped. “My teacher is Cailey Cow?”
“That’s right.” Vinyl replied. “I heard that Cailey is a mover and shaker. She no doubt likes to dance.”
“And, Vinyl said that you need a little help dancing.” Cailey added. “This is where I come in.”
“You’re going to help me?” Fluttershy wondered.
“That’s right. And, I brought along some extra support.”
A small cow came in and mooed happily.
“Aw.” Fluttershy cooed. “Curdle is adorable.”
Cailey soon stepped up to Vinyl. And, is ready to help the timid nature girl.
“It’s time to help you get moving.” Cailey announced. “Music, maestro. Please.”
Vinyl turns on the CD music. Music of the 1950s is played as Cailey turns to Fluttershy.
“Now, watch me carefully.” Cailey advised. “Then, follow my lead when you’re ready.”
Fluttershy watched Cailey carefully. She watched as the visitor from Harvest Hills danced to the music. Soon, it was Fluttershy’s turn. Following Cailey’s lead, she starts to get into the groove. Fluttershy is feeling happy, feeling the music flowing.
“You’re doing great, Fluttershy.” Cailey praised.
“Thank you.” Fluttershy said happily. “I guess I had nothing to worry about.”
Cailey and Fluttershy hugged each other. Vinyl and Curdle watched happily. Later that night, the party went on in the diner. Dressed in 50s fashions, everybody started to have fun, dancing, talking to each other, and just having a blast.
“I can’t believe that you were dancing fantastically.” Twilight Sparkle said.
“I was a bit nervous.” Fluttershy said in response. “But, I had a great teacher.”
“You’re talking about Cailey Cow. Right?”
Fluttershy nodded. Meanwhile, Sandalwood is having a conversation with Cailey.
“Thanks for helping Fluttershy, Cailey.” Sandalwood said with gratitude. “You and Curdle came through big time.”
“My pleasure.” Cailey replied as Curdle mooed happily by her side. “It looks like the nature lover found her groove.”
They look at Fluttershy as she danced with other patrons. Both are happy, and high fived each other.
