The Advice

'Oh my goodness! What am I doing? I go and buy some apples, and here i am, thinking about the guy who sold them! Oh why couldn't have been Applejack who was there instead of Big Macintosh?!' Fluttershy thought to herself.

'Oh, but, he was such a gentlecolt and he was just so nice for giving me those apples for free,' Fluttershy thought to herself again.

' I need to repay him for that,' Fluttershy once again thought to herself. Then an idea popped into Fluttershy's head.

"I know! I could maybe take him out for lunch sometime and then that should get him off of my mind." Fluttershy said to herself.

Then Fluttershy froze. She then said to herself, "Oh! But what if he says no?" "What if he doesn't even like me???" Fluttershy asked herself.

"I mean, we met for only a few minutes and all he did was give me a few apples for free, i mean, how could that be such a big deal?" Fluttershy said to herself.

"Oh, of course it's a big deal! He probaly did'n't do that too anypony else who bought apples from him!" Fluttershy argued to herself.

Then Fluttershy noticed that she was just talking to herself and was arguing over whether or not to ask a stallion out to lunch for a way to say 'thank you'. Fluttershy sighed.

"It's just a simple lunch together, why not just take him to that new place that just opened and eat then say goodbye and then leave and go on with our day." Fluttershy asked herself.

Then Fluttershy heard her stomach grumble. She then noticed that she hasn't eaten all day because of all the work she had to do by going to the market to get some apples and make Angel's breakfast.

" I think that i'll get something to eat, then I can decide whether or not I should take him." So then Fluttershy floated over to the kitchen and made herself a sandwich with lettuce and tomato on it, then flew over to the table and started eating. While she ate, Big Macintosh came to her mind again. She thought and thought hard on whether or not she should take him. So she just decided to finish eating before she decides. After she was done, she flew over to her couch and rested. She sighed when she got comfortable. There she was again, thinking about Big Macintosh.

"OH WHY CAN'T I STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!" Fluttershy said in her loudest voice. All her animals including Angel, stopped what they were doing and looked at her. Fluttershy blushed and said "sorry." Her animals stopped staring at her and proceeded to what they were doing before. Fluttershy sighed and decided it would be best if she asked her friends for advice. So she decided to go to Twilight first.
And that she did.
Once she got to Twilight's library house, she knocked on the door and waited for somepony to answer. After a few seconds, Spike opened the door and smiled at Fluttershy.

"Oh, hi Fluttershy! Haven't seen you in a while!" Spike greeted her.

"Oh yes, it has been a while since we've seen each other," Fluttershy said.
There was a silence that asted about five seconds because Spike said, " So do you wanna come inside?"

"Yes please, that is if you don't mind," Fluttershy said.

"Of course I don't mind! Come on in!" Spike said stepping aside gesturing for Fluttershy to come in.

"Thank you," Fluttershy said.

"No problem," Spike said in response.

As Fluttershy walked in, she saw Twilight sitting on her stomach reading a book. Twilight looked up from her book when she heard Fluttershy's voice. "Oh, hi Fluttershy! I haven't seen you in a while!" Twilight said closing her book.

"Oh, yes hi Twilight, how are you?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm doing great! And you?" Twilight said.

"I'm fine, i've been going thinking alot today and I wanted to come and talk to you about it, if you don't mind that is," Fluttershy said.

"Oh, is that so?" Twilight said.

"Okay then, tell me, what's on your mind that's so important?" Twilight asked.

Fluttershy sighed.

"Well, it all started when I was feeding my animal friends and then once I was done feeding them it was time for me to feed Angel Bunny, so once Angel showed me what he wanted, I started to prepare his breakfast and I had all the ingredients except for one so I had to go to the market and get some apples and then when I got there, I saw Applejack's brother, Big Macintosh, and then he got me some apples and said that I didn't have to pay for them and then i said that i wanted to but then he declined my offer and told me to take the apples free of charge and than i thanked him and then I asked his name and he told me Big Macintosh and then he asked for mine and i said Futtershy and then i went home and made Angel's breakfast and then i decided that i need to repay Big Macintosh but then i had an arguement with myself and now i cant get him out of my mind so i would appreciate it if you give me some advice on how to thank him."Fluttershy said.

Twilight stared at Fluttershy in shock at how much she had sad in one sentence but quickly shook that thought out of her head and answered Fluttershy.

"Okay, i'll give you some advice, but i have to warn you, i don't know much about romance."

"R-romance?" Fluttershy said.

"Yes, romance. Atleast that's what it sounds like to me. Your acting alot like you like him." Twilight said.

Fluttershy blushed.

"I-i-it's not like I like him or anything it's just that I want to repay him with something for giving me something for free of
charge that i should not have deserved." Fluttershy said.

"Okay then. Here's what i've got for you. Well, first you probaly want to,,you know, have a chat with him, and then while your talking, you can say that you want to repay him for giving you those apples for free and that maybe you want to go to lunch or something, that's what I got for you." Twilight said.

"Oh, thank you Twilight, i think i'll try that. Bye and thank you for the advice!" Futtershy said.
" It was my pleasure Futtershy, come back anytime!" Twilight said opening her book again and going to the page she left off of.

Fluttershy trotted out the door and headed to Sweet Apple Acres to ask Big Macintosh if he could go to lunch with her... for a 'thank you' of course.
