//------------------------------// // F is for Flowers // Story: EqG Tales: Alphabet Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// In her special garden, Wallflower Blush tends to some of her flowers. Watering those that need it the most, she is pleased. Wallflower turned and got a shock. Inside the gate, stands a lime green skinned girl with vermillion hair wrapped in a yellow bandana. She wore a red long sleeve shirt, long yellow skirt, and sandals. "Tree Hugger!" Wallflower gasped. "This is a surprise." "What's happening, Wallflower?" Tree Hugger greeted in her usual groovy tone. "I was grooving down the street when I saw you through the fence. Doing what you do best. Huh?" "Yes." Wallflower answered nervously. "Just making sure nothing is wrong with them." The hippie girl looks at Wallflower with interest. "Sporting a farmer look I see." Tree Hugger admired Wallflower's outfit. It comprised a long sleeve light teal shirt, and blue bib overalls. She has on her well known sneakers. "Applejack gave me these clothes one day." Wallflower replied. "I'm not the type to dress fancy. Even Rarity knows that." "Good to know." Tree Hugger said. "Just one more thing." She bent down and rolled up the cuffs of Wallflower's overalls. "I never thought of that." Wallflower said. "Thanks, Tree Hugger." "Not a problem." Tree Hugger replied. "I stopped by on my way to a greenhouse in town. I was thinking of having some flowers myself. " This gives Wallflower an idea. " Is it okay if I come with you? Some of my flowers died from that cold snap we had two weeks ago. So, I can use a few more." "Not a bad idea. Let's go." As the two girls travel together, they admire the environment. They see two kids playing with a football. They also see a flag waving in the wind on a flagpole. "Something on your mind, girl." Tree Hugger asked, seeing that Wallflower Blush is deep in thought. "I'm just trying to think of something." Wallflower replied. "All I know is that it starts with the letter F." "F, huh? Interesting." At the greenhouse, Tree Hugger and Wallflower look at all of the flowers and other stuff. "Wow!" Wallflower said with admiration. "Look at these plants that grow fruits and vegetables. Applejack would love these." "Totally cool." Tree Hugger replied. "She would indeed go for some of these. Unless she starts with seeds." "Yeah, that's true." Just then, Wallflower was approached by Sunset Shimmer, who was brought along by Applejack and Fluttershy. "Hi, Wallflower." Sunset greeted with a cheery smile. "Uh...." Wallflower replied, sweating nervously. "What's wrong? Still surprised about how much I like you?" "Y..y..you might s..say that." "What brings y'all here anyway?" Applejack asked. "I was coming here to get some groovy flowers," Tree Hugger explained, "and Wallflower Blush tagged along." "That's right. I heard that some of them flowers wilted in your garden. Right, Wallflower?" Wallflower nodded as Fluttershy approached her with a desert in her hand. "Fudge?" The green haired girl took the package and saw it had a piece of fudge that's tan colored. "Peanut butter fudge." Wallflower realized. "Thank you, Fluttershy." "Your welcome. I already had a piece of fudge. So, this is for you." Wallflower was happy that she was given something to eat. Later that night, Wallflower Blush was invited to Sunset Shimmer's place for a sleepover. Sunset is impressed with her sleepwear. "Pretty nice looking sleep shirt, Wallflower. " Sunset praised. "Sea foam green, long sleeves, nothing fancy at all." "Thanks." Blush replied. "Sorry about me being nervous earlier." "Understandable. You're still surprised that I like you so much. How is your garden, by the way?" "Those new flowers made it look very beautiful. Now, my gardens more colorful than before." Wallflower munches on the fudge Fluttershy gave her. "I'm glad Tree Hugger brought me with her." A thought, then, came to Sunset's mind. "Tree Hugger told me that you were trying to think of a word that starts with the letter F." "Yes." Wallflower replied. "I saw a lot of things beginning with that letter. Flag, Football, Fruit, Fence, and of course, Flowers." Her eyes suddenly widened. "That word I was thinking of. I JUST REMEMBERED IT!" Wallflower Blush went to a light switch as Sunset asked her about that word. "What F word did you remember? Tell me!" Calming down, Wallflower calmly told Sunset her answer. "Finish." She turned off the light, causing the place to be dark. Wallflower giggled as Sunset wandered in the dark. She found a flashlight, and turned it on to see. The former bully wasn't amused. "Funny."
