//------------------------------// // Fluttershy’s Faithful—100%! // Story: Fluttershy Hatches The Egg // by WatchTower1992 //------------------------------// “Oh—my—goodness!” There—directly in front of our eyes, lying on a patch of soft grass—was the most colorful egg that either of us ever saw. It was much bigger than any of the eggs that I had in my basket now. “Who do you think could have laid that egg, Angel? It couldn’t have been any of my birds. None of them lays an egg as big as that one is.” Angel shrugged and shook his head. After I put the last egg into my basket, he and I went straight back to Ponyville. The egg hunt was over; the both of us enjoyed every step thereof. Little did either of us know that our best friends were already waiting there for us. “I wonder whether this will require the Elements Of Harmony.” “It’s well worth a try, Twilight! I brought the crown and necklaces!” My friends put the Elements Of Harmony on. However, neither Spike nor any of my pony friends put the Element Of Kindness on. Something was very wrong. “Has anypony seen Fluttershy yet? I wonder what’s keeping her. I could go look for her, just in case. I’ll be back in one flick of a pony’s tail!” “Angel, I need to trot carefully, or else all the eggs will break!” I let Angel ride on my back again while I carried the basket of eggs in my wings. This was exactly like an egg-and-spoon race except in that nopony else was racing against me. “Slowly, Fluttershy. Slowly as a tortoise. Slowly as a snail.” I kept my eyes on the eggs in my basket at all times. I knew the way to the Ponyville Town Square like the back of my hoof. I trotted slowly and carefully all the way to Ponyville. I hoped with all my heart that I would make it on time. “Fluttershy! Thank Celestia you’re here! Where were you?! What happened to you?!” “Guess what, Rainbow Dash! Angel and I went on an egg hunt! Look at how many eggs I found!” “Whoa! Six of them are the colors of the Elements Of Harmony!” Right there and then, Rainbow Dash and I knew exactly what to do. Now, at long last, the Spring Sacrament ceremony could begin. Spike had held on to the Element Of Kindness for me. Once I showed up, he put it on my neck. First, I put the pink egg into the “butterfly” eggcup. Next, Pinkie Pie put the blue egg into the “balloon” eggcup. Then, Twilight Sparkle put the crimson egg into the “spark” eggcup. Rarity put the purple egg into the “gem” eggcup. Then, Applejack put the orange egg into the “apple” eggcup. Next, Rainbow Dash put the red egg into the “lightning bolt” eggcup. Finally, I took Spike in my hooves and flew up so that he could put the big, colorful egg into the central eggcup at the top. The big, colorful egg hatched on the spot! “Awww—how cute!” A new creature—a baby—had been born! “Congratulations, Fluttershy! You saved Spring Sacrament Day! Thank you kindly!”
