//------------------------------// // Chapter One: // Story: Flutterdash: The Beginning // by Wren_Fest //------------------------------// I awoke to the sounds of chirping birds and the shining sun in my eyes. I got up and got dressed in a yellow turtleneck sweater and a yellow skirt with three butterflies embroidered on it. Though I was hungry, I didn't want to eat. I was ready to look around the town, and figure out where the library is. That Pinkie Pie girl said that she was setting up a party at the library, so where was the library? I stopped to ask a purple haired girl where it was. "Oh, darling it is just down the way and a left from there. Oh my! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Rarity. I am Ponyville's fashion designer. So, darling, what ever is your name?" She said. "Oh, my name is Fluttershy." I barely squeaked those words out of my mouth. "Oh, well Miss Fluttershy, it's very nice to meet you. Oh, I know we haven't said much, but I think we will be the best of friends." she said. "See you at Pinkie's party." She said again, walking away. As I walked to the library, it started to rain. Finally, I got to the library, opening the door, and was surprised by the sound of music suddenly blaring in my ears. "HI FLUTTERSHY!" Pinkie Pie said. "Oh, hi Pinkie..." I said as I walked over to a table covered in sweets, and grabbed a cookie. Nibbling on it, I heard a little voice say, "Hi, there! My name is Spike!" I squeaked. When I finally calmed back down, I turned to see a little, baby dragon right before my eyes. I squeaked again. "Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to scare you there." said Spike. Twilight Sparkle walked up to me and said, "Well, I see you've met my assistant, Spike. I hope the party is to your liking." I smiled. "Yes, the party is wonderful. I love the decorations and the food is delicious!" Reaching for another cookie I saw her. The beautiful Rainbow Dash was standing right in front of me yet again. I just hope I don't make a fool of myself again, I thought. "Hey, I remember you now! We were in college together. Fluttershy, right? Oh, we had so many memories! I can't believe I didn't recognize you sooner." She said. "It's is no problem. None at all." I said. "Is it ok with you if I still called you Dashie?" "Oh, Sure!" Rainbow said. I thought of the times that Dashie and I had sat together at the tables, laughing about anything... anything really.
