//------------------------------// // The Foal Problem // Story: It Takes a Ponyville // by yidwags //------------------------------// Fluttershy scurried along the streets of Ponyville, weaving throughout crowds and gracefully gliding over the fences that dappled the town’s outskirts. She frantically glanced over and over again at the sun as tried to keep pace as she arrived on the horizon of a hill, with all of her friends awaiting her arrival. “Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there sugarcube! What in tarnation are you rushing about for?” said Applejack. “Well- uhm…” Fluttershy lowered her ears and looked away. “Uh…” “Come on Fluttershy! Spit it out already!” Pinkie Pie giggled. “RAINBOW DASH IS HAVING A TON OF TROUBLE CARING FOR HER FOAL AND IS TREATING IT LIKE AN ANIMAL AND I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD MAYBE HELP HER!” Fluttershy shouted out in one fell swoop. Rarity sighed. “I noticed this a few weeks back when I was having tea with Anon. We really should do something, you know.” “Well gals, I think I know what we should do! This is a grade A friendship problem!” Twilight Sparkle cheered. “I-I really don’t think this is quite a friendship problem, darling.” Rarity stuttered out before being interrupted by a resounding huzzah from the rest of the mares. “Or maybe it is, I suppose.”
