//------------------------------// // Chapter Three // Story: Well that was weird... // by Halo Head //------------------------------// "So Scotch, have you given her a name yet?" I said, playing with the little bunny. "Well, I have one name that fits her.." "Well what was it? Is it Angeal? Rubby? Ruby? Toothy?" and the list goes on... "Hmm.. I want to call her..." "Fluttershy." He said. "Oh, is that so? Why is that?" I asked in curiosity. "Well.. because animals make my heart flutter.. and I decided to name it after you, Shy." the winged pony said, giving a smile. "Well that so sweet of you.." I replied. "Now go play with her while I make lunch." As I finished preparing, I called Butterscotch for lunch. "Hey Scotch, I am going back to school next week. I hope you don't mind." I said, as a worrying expression across his face. "Say, why are you sad? It's not like I'm going to give you away." I chuckled inwardly, as he shuddered at the thought. "No, I don't mind it at all. It's just that maybe somepony., er, someone breaks into your house and I can't protect it. I can't call the police too, you know. It's not that I am asking you to leave your school, it's just.." "Oh don't worry. My parents installed something on the flat to keep me safe and sound." I gave him a smile. "Phew. Umm.. Shy,,. can I ask you something?" he asked, feeling a bit uneasy. "Sure, anything for you Scotch." I answered back. "W-well, I hope you don't mind, but I will not going to sleep with you on your bed. You know, I realized that your a girl, and somehow I'm a boy.. So.." "Ok I get it, I get it.. Your feeling uncomfortable aren't you?" I said.. "Um.. To cut it short, y-yes." "Hmm it's ok. You can sleep on the couch." I smiled, in return he accepts the offer. -- As night time came, I am already preparing for bed. I saw Butterscotch drifting off to sleep. I would say it is quite an adorable, very adorable sight. I quietly turned off the TV and gently made my way to my bedroom. A few minutes passed, I could feel the cold air touching my skin, so I decided to check on Butterscotch. He is shivering, I quickly pulled some new blanket I didn't used since I came here. Some moment later, I could hear the rain drops on the roof. As the air began to be colder, I suddenly fell asleep. And then. KABOOM! Lightning and the loud sound of thunder woke me up. I wanted to get up and check on Butterscotch, but was completely immobilized because of Astraphobia. After the sounds of KABOOMing storm, I finally get to sleep. --- At morning, I saw pink. Pink and yellow to be exact. And then I realized.. "GYAH!" I screamed, seeing Butterscotch startled, too. "EEP!" Said the pegasi. "Shy let me explain! I-" he said, furiously blushing. "N-no need. Seeing that you just saw me in my undies isn't right, b-but I completely understood.." I gave a concerned look, knowing what have he gone through the entire night going to sleep because of the storm. But my smile looks like I'm about to eat him. And, yes, because of the cold weather I forgot to take my pajamas on. But thanks to the comforter, I slept well.
