When a Door Closes a New One Opens

Ch 40

I heard that Sweetie Belle can be quite a hoof full with the fact that she can sometimes cause accidents in regards to Rarity’s work. But Rarity still loves her and cares for her which is why she still was willing to have Fluttershy watch over her and the girls when they decided to have a sleepover. Spike couldn’t come because he was busy working on an assignment which he was not happy about. 

Fluttershy is watching over the three yonge fillies in her cottage. The girls were already causing mischief by doing things like messing around by the bird houses. Which was not a surprise since this lot seems to cause a lot of mischief. 

They even thought of going adventuring in the everfree forest which Fluttershy stopped them and ensured they wouldn’t go at least for now.

They even pretended to be creature catchers “I am a dangerous creature from the everfree forest! Rarr! Scootaloo said the hidden face in the rug making it look even more mysterious. 

“Halt dangerous creature of the everfree forest. I’m Sweetie Belle the creature catcher. And I’m here to catch you.” Sweetie Belle said playfully in a confident manner.

“You can never catch me! I am far too powerful and dangerous!” Scootaloo said.

“You can not run from me.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Rawr.” Scootaloo said. 

The three then ran and catched each other. Fluttershy couldn’t help but smile at the adorability. 

Fluttershy later on got them ready for bed and tried to get them to sleep by singing a song that she sings to her animals. “Hush now quite now it’s time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now quite now it’s time to go to bed.” 

“I know this one.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Oh how wonderful, why don’t you sing it with me.” Fluttershy offered.

She then looked mischieoulsy at her friends with a grin and they smiled and covered their ears.

“Hush now quite now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head! Said Hush now quite now it’s time to go to bed! Drifting off to sleep! The exciting day behind you! Drifting off to sleep! Let the joy of daylight behind you! Hush now quite now! Lay your sleepy head! Said hush now quiet now it’s time to go to be-e-ed! Sweetie Belle sang in an up tempo tone.  

“What was that? Scootaloo asked. The cutie mark crusaders then went off to investigate while Fluttershy cleaned up the mess that was made from all that singing. 
When Fluttershy noticed she grew concerned. “Girls.” She said.

“Fluttershy your chickens are on the loose.” Applebloom said in her country accent.

“I wonder what could of caused that?” Sweetie Belle said and the other two fillies gave her looks of annoyance for avoiding the fact that she caused this.

“Don’t worry Fluttershy. The cutie mark crusaders will handle this.” Scootaloo said with a salute. 

They tried to herd the chickens but Fluttershy helped with her stare the cutie mark crusaders then noticed that one of the chickens was missing and went into the everfree forest. They felt guilty and wanted to fix the problem themselves and so they went into the everfree forest.

Fluttershy then noticed it was too quite and so she checked on them and saw they weren’t there she then checked the coop and noticed that Elizabeak was missing.

When Fluttershy realized they went into the Everfree forest she immediately went looking for them because she knew it was dangerous. 

Fluttershy then saw that Twilight got turned to stone and realized what happened and went looking evern harder and faster for the girls. 

Fluttershy then heard them screaming and went after them when she saw the cocaktriee a half chicken half lizard that had the ability to turn people into stone. Fluttershy then asked the girls to go behind her and she looked at the girls in worry for their safety. 

“You! Just who do you think you are, going around turning others to stone?” Fluttershy said bravely. “You should be ashamed of yourself I have half a mind to tell your mother and tell her what you’ve been up to yonge man.” Fluttershy didn’t know it but she was slowly being turned to stone herself but she had an idea and knew it was for the best to protect the fillies. 

“Now your going to go overthere and turn Elizabeak and my friend Twilight back to normal.” The cockatriee grew frightened and was even sweating. 

“And don’t let me ever catch you doing this again. Do you understand me?” Fluttershy said. 
 The cockatriee then gulped and nodded his head.

“Are you girls alright? I was so worried.” Fluttershy said with care and commitment.

“Yeah fine.” Scootaloo said with a smile.

“Thanks to that stare of yours.” Sweetie Belle said.

Scoitaloo then spoke up “You’re like the queen of stares. You’re the… stare master.” All three fillies said together at those last two words. 

“We’re sorry we snuck out of your health and into the everfree we were just trying to fix our mistake.” Sweetie Belle apologized. 

“Yeah we’ll listen to you from now on.” Applebloom said.

“We promise.” Scootaloo added on. 

“Oh do you? You better or I’ll give you the stare.” Fluttershy said with a friendly smile. 

It was strange being turned to stone I could see and hear everything but I couldn’t speak nor move it was quite an unpleasant experience which is why I’m glad it was only for one day.“And that’s when it brought you back to stone.” Fluttershy told me. “This is gonna be quite the letter to Princess Celestia. I was wrong. You certainly do know how to handle those girls.” I spoke proud of my friend and her courage as well as her ability to say no when needed it was an important lesson to learn.
