Spike and I have been helping Fluttershy take care of her animals. We love the craft and enjoy spreading kindness much like her. We just arrived. “Oh Twilight, Spike, good you’re here my animals really need feeding and I could use the help.” Fluttershy said smiling.
“We’re happy to help.” I said with genuine care.
We then began to feed the animals, the adorable little fuzzies, the birds, and even the scarier animals like the snakes. But I’ve always found snakes to be cool with their scales and the fact that they don’t have any limbs but are still a main predator. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed that Fluttershy truly understands the care that is needed for animals. With her understanding that some are supposed to eat meat as well as her understanding and acceptance towards Spike eating meat. She doesn’t seem to be bothered by it, likely because of the fact that she understands that many creatures eat meat.
We then saw that Fluttershy was a bit nervous. We then saw that angel dust wasn;’t eating his food as usual. She then gave him the stare and smiled as he ate. I have always been impressed by the fact that this kind and caring mare still has a bit of a backbone and is willing to stick up for herself and others and I find those traits to be very virtuous and attractive.
“Oh know that we’re done with that, it's time to babysit Ponyville’s pets.” Fluttershy said excitedly.
We smiled at that. Owlicoius was with us she’s this owl we bought a few months back for Spike he wanted a pet and they get along great and he earned it after he saved the town by stopping a pack of timberwolves from entering the town by warning the Ponyville police.
We began to watch over all the cats, dogs, and bunnies, and any other pet they had. It was very fun. And we quite enjoyed it.
Unfortunately we would have to leave soon and said our goodbyes. Fluttershy then surprisingly hugged me. She blushed at that. “Thank you for the help.” She said quietly but with deep gratitude.
I smiled “You’re quite welcome Fluttershy you may not have known this but when I was little I used to care for animals all the time and so this opportunity was very pleasant for me and reminded me of my foalhood.” I said. It was true when I was young before we left Zaofu my parents were pleasantly surprised to find that I had such compassion for animals, being so curious towards every creature and kind to all creatures by helping them if they were injured or providing them with food like turtle ducks specifically.
She seemed interested and impressed at that and with a hint of something else that I couldn;t quite muster.
“Well we ought to be going now.” I said.
“Yeah the girls and I plan on trying to find our talent in scootering tomorrow.” Spike said excited to learn how to use a scooter from his friend.
“Well that sounds nice you have fun Spike.” Fluttershy said with a smile. She’s been so kind to Spike she sometimes helps him with his homework when I’m busy and even babysits him when I am away. I am glad they have such a connection.
We then left and I was proud for Fluttershy for her kind and virtuous nature. I am really glad I am friends with her.
