Why so Shy?

Chapter 1: And So It Began

I made my way to Fluttershy's house on the edge of the Everfree forest. I had... A few questions I needed to ask her. She was never actually shy to tell you the truth. And that's what I've come to ask her. What really happened that rainy day that I don't know about? I knocked on the door, and Fluttershy immediately opened the door, as if she had nothing better to do.

"H-hi Rainbow... Please, come in." The Pink maned pony beckoned me inside.

"So, as you already know, I am here to ask you a few questions. You are alright with that right?"

Fluttershy nodded her head slowly, her mane falling over her eyes in that cute way that she does it. I will have to admit, she is kind of cute. I never really noticed that slight twinkle in her eyes until now. I shook my head, sending the thoughts to the back of my mind.

"Okay, have a seat please."

We both sat down in unison. I flipped open my notebook and grabbed a pencil.

"Okay, so. The first thing I need to know, what were your parent's name's?"

"Willow's Wisp and Sky Chaos..."

I gasped. Sky Chaos had been sentenced for 20 years in Pegalcatraz for murdering his wife, and for foal abuse. This interview went off with quite a bang.

I asked her quite a few more questions, involving her mother and father. My final question for the day, was what I felt was an important one. I needed to know why she seemed so keen on going back home, when I had seen her face, a black eye, and a slow trickle of blood running from her mouth down her neck.

"Last question Fluttershy, then I'm done. For today that is. I will come back in about a week. Anyway, I want to know. Why did you go back to your house, to your murderous father, when you could have lived a happy life with me and my parents?"

The response I got, wasn't what I was hoping for.

"I don't know... Are we done now? I think we're done now, so if you could just leave please..."

I got up. If Fluttershy wouldn't tell me her secret, then I would have to find it out myself.

"Thank you, for answering all those questions. Again, I will be back. So don't think that I won't find out the answer to that question."

I opened the door, and walked out into the pouring rain. Who knows what the next ponies I am interviewing will tell me. That is, if they have anything to tell. If I was going to reach them, I would have to fly to Cloudsdale. The next two ponies I would be interviewing, were Cloudchaser, and Flitter, me and Fluttershy's friends.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had decided to stay in my cloud home for a few days, to try and figure out what questions I could ask them. They are a little bit older than me, and when they were fillies, they knew Fluttershy's "older" brother. He died for some mysterious reason. That's what I want to ask them. They probably knew why he died.

I approached the door to their home, and when I knocked, I was greeted by silence. No one came, the lights were off too. I knocked again, were they just asleep? From behind be, I heard laughing and talking. I turned to see Cloudchaser and Flitter flying towards me.

"Hey Rainbow, sorry we weren't here. We know you wanted an interview, but we had a radical party to go to last night, and that's why we were late today."

Flitter nodded in agreement to what Cloudchaser said.

"Okay, well, can we go inside? It's kind of chilly out here."

"Oh, yeah, right."

Flitter unlocked the door and went inside. I followed Flitter and Cloudchaser followed me. This interview, would be interesting. Not as interesting as Fluttershy's though, but it will be interesting.
