Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie

Fluttershy was taking her usual walk around Ponyville, it was a daily routine, she greeted the birds that chirped on by, said hello to all the little bunnies that scurried about. nothing out of the ordinary and as she passed by sugar cube corner she closed her eyes and let the sun bake her cheeks a bit, but when she opened her eyes, a certain black colt was staring at her with nervous but bloodshot eyes. "oh hello there... I'm not in your way am I?" his face grew into a grin. "oh, no... Quite the...contrary." he walked around Fluttershy, and she froze, paralyzed with fear, as is natural for her when she meets someone new.

"oh...ok." she eeked out as barely a whisper. White Moon was in front of her now and as she lifted her head, his eyes almost touched hers.

she jumped back, but when she looked again he was gone. she looked around and he was nowhere to be found. as she galloped into sugar cube corner, Pinkie greeted her, "hey there Fluttershy..." she noticed the panic state of her friend, though it wasn't anything new, "so whats up?" Fluttershy calmed down and gave a concerned face, "you didn't happen to notice a black colt with huge red eyes outside...did you?" Pinkies mind raced with all the things black that she could think of, a colt was not one of them. "nope, Ive seen a million other black things, but no colts" Fluttershy didn't understand how a whole pony could just up and vanish, she decided to ask her other friends.

Pinkie watched her obviously distraught friend leave but knew she could help no further. As she walked into the kitchen her mind filled with all the delicious treats she could make and began finding the necessary ingredients. Her confections needed their time to bake, so Pinkie elected to go up stairs and see what Gummy was doing. She burst open the door, "GUMMY!" her eyes opened to find that it was not her toothless alligator that greeted her, but the rear of a black pony, hmm, i don't remember him coming in? The colts large, bloodshot, eyes stared straight through her. "ah, i see you've finally come up to see me Pinkie Pie."

She didn't understand how he knew her name, but he didn't seem all that bad, a little twitchy, but not bad. "Hi! you haven't seen Gummy have you?" his stare did not falter and his face didn't move, all the muscles seemed stuck in a devilish smile. Pinkie blinked, and he was there in front of her, "I know your greatest fear, your mind will not survive the night" she blinked again and he was gone, Gummy smacked his lower jaw against the wood door and Pinkie turned around to see the door behind her was closed.
