//------------------------------// // A morning with Fluttershy // Story: Meeting of Worlds - A Crossover Story // by L_Wolf //------------------------------// Chapter 11 Starbloom woke up slowly yawning softly, it was still pretty early in the morning. Toby was still sleeping next to her in bed, she rolled over and carefully got off the bed. Her hooves carefully touching down on the floor being as quiet as she could. After she got up she made her way to her saddle bags and opened it looking at the Mare Do Well costume taking a deep breath. She wasn't sure what to do, she sighed softly and frowned closing the saddle bags. She didn't really want to get rid of it, but it was way to big for her right now. She thought about taking it with her to Rarity and having it resized for her current size. She winched feeling her shoulder get sore looking down at it quietly. It was just the normal pain of post surgery though. She started to make her way down the stairs as much as it hurt, it felt a lot better though. It wasn't as stiff or hurt to move it. After she got down stairs she looked over seeing Fluttershy curled up on the couch sleeping quietly. She headed over and into the kitchen looking around. It was a simple lay out, she could see a lot of different storage areas for the different animal feed. She hadn't really been in Fluttershy's kitchen so she wasn't sure where anything was. She checked a few cabinets before finding and getting a cup and filled it with water taking a drink. She heard some movement and looked behind her seeing Fluttershy. "Oh, good morning Starbloom. Are you feeling alright?" Fluttershy said smiling at her walking into the kitchen to start getting breakfast ready for the animals. "Good morning Fluttershy, I'm alright just a little sore. Sorry... if I woke you up. I wasn't sure where you kept the cups." Starbloom said smiling at Fluttershy. "No, you didn't wake me up Starbloom. This is when I normally get up to feed the animals." Fluttershy said smiling at her before tilting her head. "That's right, the doctor gave me some medicine for you." Fluttershy said getting a small packet down and took out the medicine. One was a pain pill, the other was a antibiotic. "Here you go, take these. Starbloom smiled floating over the pills and took them with her water. "Thank you Fluttershy." Starbloom said watching Fluttershy go back to preparing the food for the animals. "Can I help you with anything?" Fluttershy smiled at Starbloom thinking for a moment. "Alright, you can help Starbloom. Take these filled bowls out side and just set them down." Fluttershy said pointing a hoof at the bowls, one was full of nuts, another was full of berries and cut fruits, a third one was full of vegetables. "Okay I will," Starbloom said and smiled floating the bowls over and carried them outside looking around, the sun was starting to come up. She set the bowls on the ground watching as different small animals run over and start to eat. Starbloom smiled before and headed inside, watching Fluttershy set out smaller bowls for the animals inside the cottage. Toby started to make his way down stairs as well, yawning softly as he rubbed his eyes. "M... morning mama, m... morning Starbloom." Toby said smiling at both of them. "Good morning Toby sweetie, did you sleep well?" Fluttershy said smiling at him. "Give me a minute and I'll have breakfast ready for you two." "Good morning Toby." Starbloom said smiling at him going over and takes next to him. "Alright Fluttershy, thank you." Fluttershy smiled at them as she went into the kitchen to start getting the breakfast for them ready, biscuits with milk gravy and orange juice. Starbloom smiled over at Toby, "Do you think we can visit Rarity today?" She asked looking up at him. Toby smiled back at her and nodded rubbing her head a little. "S.. Sure Starbloom, we can go visit auntie Rarity t.. today if your up to it." Starbloom nodded at him and smiled wiggling her ears at the head rubbing. "Thank you Toby, I really would like to visit her today. I'm sure I'll be fine I am feeling sore but other then that I feel better then I have in a while." "T.. that's good to hear Starbloom, I'm g.. glad your feeling better." Toby said before Fluttershy came out with two plates, with biscuits and gravy on them. She placed a plate in front of each of them. "T.. thank you mama." Fluttershy smiles at both of them, "Your welcome, Toby sweetie and Starbloom. Enjoy your breakfast." "Thank you Fluttershy, it smells very good." Starbloom said, before using her magic to start to eat. Toby smiled as he started to eat as well, both of them enjoyed the breakfast. Fluttershy joining them after she finished feeding the last of the animals. Once breakfast was done, Toby went to get changed and Fluttershy changed the bandage on Starbloom's shoulder. "It's looking better then yesterday Starbloom." Fluttershy said checking over the surgery area. She took out a small jar of cream and carefully spread a little over the cut area. "What is that?" Starbloom asked looking at the jar of cream. "It's a special herbal cream to help the cut heal with out scarring to bad." Fluttershy said as she started to re-bandage the area carefully so not to hurt her to much with the pressure needed. "Oh, thank you Fluttershy." Starbloom said smiling as Toby came down the stairs having changed into a pair of blue pants and a red shirt with blue trim. She looked over at Toby and smiled. "Mama Fluttershy... d..do you think it'll be okay if we... go v... visit auntie Rarity?" Toby asked her smiling watching as Fluttershy finished bandaging Starbloom's shoulder. "Of course Toby, just have fun." Fluttershy said smiling at her moving to her hooves. "Just be back before dinner alright?" "Yes mama, we will." Toby said smiling at Fluttershy. Starbloom moved to her hooves and smiled nodding at Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled at them watching as they leave the cottage. She went to the door watching as Toby got the wagon and helping Starbloom into it before starting to walk to Ponyville and Rarity's boutique.
