//------------------------------// // Though signs can be misread // Story: Take What You Can Get // by Inspiration //------------------------------// Twilight's questions about me and Fluttershy ran through my head. Why did she seem to think that there was something between us? As far as I could tell, nothing was there, and nothing would ever be there. So, I decided to drop it. No point in dwelling. So, I went back to Fluttershy's cottage and made breakfast. Milk, eggs, hay bacon, the works. It was all on the table when Fluttershy came down. "Oh, what's this?" "I just made some breakfast, is all." "Breakfast for two?" "Why else would I bother to make four eggs and two glasses of milk?" "Touche..." So we ate, talking about whatever. It was nice. We talked of our pasts, about how she got into the animal business, about what I helped build as a construction worker. But then she brought up what happened this morning. "Frost, did Twilight come over today? I saw you and her leaving from upstairs." "She needed to 'talk' to me." "'Talk?'" "Ask me questions about my personal life and about you and me." "...About you...and me?" "She was very insensitive. My respect for her has gone way down." And with that, she got mad. She left the cottage and, I'm assuming, directly to Twilight's library home. I chose not to follow her. I had the feeling something was about to go down. So, after about...I don't know, half an hour or so, Fluttershy came back. Bruised. She looked like she got into a fight with a bear. I should know, as I've seen her give Barry massages. Anyways, she was trying to say something, but her jaw was swollen so much, she couldn't speak. She got her first aid kit and bandaged herself up, and used a potion from a friend named Zecora, whoever that was, to bring down the swelling. It took a while for that to take effects, but it eventually did. And, as per my curiosity, I had to asks what happened. "Fluttershy...what did you do?" "I had a little 'chat with Twilight about her questions." "...Did you beat her up?" "No, I tickled her to death." I had a sarcasm talent that was displayed when I met her friends. I think it rubbed off on her. "...Next time, I want to join in."
