//------------------------------// // Rules of being my Pet // Story: Fluttershy's New Pet // by Diablomuerte2 //------------------------------// Rules of being my Pet Applejack was looking up at the sky admiring the handiwork of Celestia, who providing the sun, and Rainbow Dash, who made the weather perfect. All the farmers in ponyville depended on the sun and great weather, for good harvests and crop yields. If it wasn't for the effort of the two amazing ponies an agricultural collapse would occur, in Ponyville at least. While admiring the perfect weather she noticed that her best friend and physical rival, Rainbow Dash, wasn't in the sky zooming around. She began searching her trees and other various napping spots that Rainbow Dash would usually occupy gaining not a single sighting of the pegasus. "Where is that feather brain?" she angrily yelled. ____________________________________________________________ Rainbow Dash, who was in mid conversation with Fluttershy, was still trying to comprehend the possibilities of limitations that would be placed by Shy. "So what kind of rules we talking about?" she asked. Fluttershy wasn't prepared, "Well umm... I know rule number one while you are my pet you must adhere to my rules." Rainbow Dash chuckled, "Alright Shy, that is pretty obvious, how about rules I don't know about?" Fluttershy blushed, "Oh ok, well... while you are my pet, I am allowed to call you Snuggles anytime I want." Rainbow Dash cringed, "Anytime?" Fluttershy nodded without hesitation, she was going to test Rainbow Dash's limits. "What about when we are in a public setting?" Rainbow Dash nervously asked. Fluttershy smiled, "Yes, even in public and possibly while with friends." Rainbow Dash was having a mental battle in her head, eventually one side won out and she accepted her fate. "Alright... if you must then I will accept it." Fluttershy showed visible signs of shock but quickly shook it away, "Alright the next thing you need to know is, if you are truly serious about being my pet... I have to ... be the one who takes care of all your needs..." she hesitantly stammered. Rainbow Dash quizzically looked at her friend before inquiring, "What does that exactly entail Shy?" "Well it means, I will be the one who feeds you, bathes you, give you a home to stay in, makes sure you exercise enough,, all the stuff I usually do for Angel Bunny," Fluttershy uneasily explained. Rainbow Dash began thinking of scenarios and how embarrassing it would be if anypony found out. She was beginning to think being a pet wasn't a good idea. "Well... that is a lot to think about, I guess I should have waited before springing this on you," She apologetically replied. Fluttershy smiled, it was her victory over Rainbow Dash's silly idea. "Well-" She began saying before being cut off. "Hey, I will obey any rule you have if you can answer this for me... will there be belly rubs and other benefits of being a regular pet?" Rainbow Dash asked with a small blush. Fluttershy was becoming unsettled by how serious the situation was becoming with each passing minute, "Dashie... this joke isn't funny anymore... why are you dead set on becoming my pet?" Rainbow Dash walked close to her friend and nuzzled her, "Shy... I am going to level with you. I haven't been happy for a long time and I am sick of having to work my flank off each day when I should have already been a Wonderbolt. I just... I just want to be happy and being a pet seems like it's the right way to go." Fluttershy sighed, "Alright Dashie, if it will make you happy I will officially accept you as my pet. From now on though I will be calling you snuggles, and you have to wear this." Fluttershy pulled a collar out of her bag and showed it to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash looked at it carefully and saw the little tag that hung underneath that had her 'name' on it. "Snuggles... if found please return to Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash eyed her friend with mixed emotions. "You seriously expect me to wear this Shy?" she angrily asked. "Well yes, you aren't trained yet I can't risk losing you... I can't treat you like a pony who is capable of doing things on her own since you are my new pet... I have to train you to do things before I am comfortable with you not wearing that..." Fluttershy had looked away unable to meet her friend's gaze. "I see... so we are doing it this way, eh? Well... I guess there is no going back, you better give the best dang belly rubs for this." Rainbow Dash put the collar on and started posing with it. "How do I look?" ____________________________________________________________ Twilight couldn't let her curiosity go, and since that encounter, she had been constantly thinking about Fluttershy's new pet. She had no clue as to what kind of creature it was, and why it would need so much time to acclimate to their new environment. She decided to investigate secretly. "Hey Spike I am going out for a while, I will be back by dinner time." She called out before heading out. She waited didn't wait for Spike to respond as he was busy sorting books and probably didn't hear her. She just hoped there would be dinner upon her return, and that Spike kept out of trouble. She went to the one place where gossip would be definitely available and info about Fluttershy would be easy to acquire. ____________________________________________________________ Rarity was busy working on a dress for a client that needed it for some reunion. She was diligently stitching and sewing like the expert dressmaker she was. Usually she would have a guest in the form of a baby dragon, luckily for her he was kept busy so she could focus on making this important dress. "Where is Spike anyways? He seems to either have gotten over his crush or moved on to my sister..." Rarity decided to let the issue go since it wasn't important to the process of making a dress. She heard a knocking sound that broke her mental stupor and made her aware of a potential customer. Rarity quickly made sure her appearance was glorious before opening the door to her room only to find Twilight Sparkle looking at her with a sheepish smile. "Oh Twilight, what can I do for you darling?" Twilight oblivious to her friend's mood began to speak. "So... you know Fluttershy very well, and you would know if something was up right?" Rarity stopped caring about the dress and became interested in Twilight's words, "I do know Fluttershy well, we talk a lot during our spa trips why?" Twilight pawed at the ground and spoke softly, "Well... it seems Fluttershy has a new pet and for some reason I want to know what it is." Rarity chuckled, "Darling if you want to know what it is why don't you ask her? I personally haven't heard of any pet so this must be some stray animal she found, you know her, she is that kind of mare." Twilight sighed, "that's just it, I already asked her and she refused to answer, heck she bolted when Spike distracted me." Rarity was intrigued and her drama sense was tingling, "I have a grand idea... let's go to her cottage and take a look around and find out what this new pet is?" Twilight pressed her hooves together in nervousness, "well about that... it seems the pet needs to be isolated from us for a month until she can get it properly accustomed to it's new environment. I don't want to potentially upset some dangerous creature and risk hurting Fluttershy in the process." Rarity thought about it carefully, "Well... I could always ask her about it tomorrow when we go to the spa." Twilight got excited, "Thanks! then I can stop worrying about something hideous trying to murder our friend. Speaking of friends, you wouldn't have happened to see Rainbow Dash have you?" "Not really but look in the sky she is always whooshing around in such a dazzling way, she should really charge for her performance... if I could just get her to wear an outfit made by moi it would be 'awesome' advertising," she deviously responded. "Oh... okay, anyways I just got a new daring do book and was hoping to read it with her," Twilight sheepishly admitted. Rarity used this opportunity to ask a question of her own, "Twilight, what happened to Spikey Wikey, he hardly comes by anymore and I grown accustomed to his help." Twilight chuckled, "Oh that... well it's a good news, bad news scenario here, which one would you like to hear first?" ____________________________________________________________ Fluttershy, who was rubbing Rainbow Dash's belly tenderly, was getting frustrated. "Shoot! I can't find that spot." Rainbow Dash had a goofy grin on her face and was enjoying the soothing rub, "what spot Shy?" "Your ticklish spot, I wanted to tickle you," Fluttershy grumbled bitterly. "Oh that, Shy... you know that was when I was a filly and my body was more compact, I have grown so keep searching for it or something." Rainbow Dash was shamelessly sprawled on the floor while being caressed by her new owner. Angel Bunny was jealously watching Fluttershy give that rainbow maned intruder a belly rub. He was furious with how easy it was for the new pet to secure herself a home and steal his owner/mother's attention away. He spoke in bunny language lowly, "You know this means war." Tank was hoping that Angel would learn to accept the changes, it would be foolish to piss off a pony as volatile as Rainbow Dash. He had seen Rainbow Dash drunk once, and an argument with a mirror later, the entire house was in disarray. He just watched the current scene with a soft smile on his face. Fluttershy kept rubbing different areas of the other mare's belly until she had found success, "Aha, take that Snuggles... you shall beg me to stop." Rainbow Dash was chuckling loudly, her sensitive spot being rubbed was triggering her to laugh. She kept guffawing and laughing, while trying to protest with words. "Shy! it tickles! this is too much stop," she said in between laughter. Fluttershy was chuckling, "this is fun... hey Snuggles... we have some time before I get dinner started... so lets snuggle..." she hesitantly stammered. She slowly removed her hoof from her pet’s stomach area. Rainbow Dash got up from the floor and whispered "Lead the way," before following Shy to her room so they could snuggle in private. They used to snuggle as fillies, and would do so in privacy since the world would judge them or assume things. She wasn't going to tell anypony about her secret love of snuggling. She was too cool to admit something so lame. ____________________________________________________________ Pinkie Pie had been searching for Rainbow Dash, so they could go pranking. She enjoyed her outings with the cyan pegasus and loved laughing about the pranks they pulled. She had finally some time off work and wanted to spend it bringing laughter to others by way of pranks. Just as she began her search she noticed another pony who seemed to be on the hunt for Rainbow Dash. "Hey Applejack, what you doing?" Applejack smiled at the sight of a friend, "I was jus' looking for Rainbow Dash. Ya haven't seen her have ya, sugar cube?" Pinkie Pie frowned, "No... I wanted to go pranking with her today and I can't find her anywhere. I checked her house, the clouds, the library, and even the moon!" She exclaimed. Applejack chuckled softly, "Well I ain't got any luck lookin’ either, I checked the trees on my farm, that she has been seen nappin' on, and I even checked the trees in the park. I'm plum pickin' tired of lookin' for her. Where could that feather brain be?" ____________________________________________________________ Fluttershy was in awe of her day so far. She was sure that this was just a strange dream and when she finally woke up from it, and the world would go back to normal. When that happened she wouldn't be in the forelegs of her new pet, being snuggled intimately and enjoying it so much. She remembered snuggling sessions as a filly and it had no comparison to how great it felt as mares. She was glad that she had this delirious dream because she was allowed a moment of reliving her youth. She did note that her dream was very realistic and prolonged, and that made her worry. "Snuggles..." she called out hesitantly. Rainbow Dash chuckled, "Yeah Shy?" She was too comfortable to care about the annoying pet name. "Why me? You could have your pick of anypony, who would definitely want you as a pet, so why me?" She sadly asked. Rainbow Dash held her closer, "because you are the pony I can trust not to abuse the power, if anypony can handle the authority over me and not lose themselves, it would be you Shy." Fluttershy never responded to that sentiment and just continued enjoying the moment. In her mind thoughts began to develop about what potentially Rainbow Dash meant by those words. She was thinking about it as her eyes closed, she started napping and fell into a dream...
