//------------------------------// // Snuggles is all mine! // Story: Fluttershy's New Pet // by Diablomuerte2 //------------------------------// Snuggles is all mine! Applejack was at Fluttershy's door waiting for her to answer the question she had previously asked. "Well... go on, tell me why ya smell like RD." Fluttershy thought of the only excuse she could think of. "Well... Snuggles is using the same shampoo that Rainbow Dash uses." Applejack chuckled. "Nice lie... I sure as hay know that RD has a special Wonderbolt brand shampoo, that is mighty expensive, and ya can't afford it with the small amount of bits you have." Fluttershy began sweating and hid behind her mane. "I ... I..." Applejack became enraged. "Move aside now! I'm going to find RD and take her with me... ya sicko." Fluttershy yelled, "No," at the top of her lungs. Applejack who was already making her way inside stopped in front of Fluttershy. "Look that bunny of yours told me ya was making Rainbow Dash cry. If you think I will let anypony abuse the mare I love, ya got another thing comin'." Fluttershy flared her wings in anger and used them to intimidate the farm pony. "No... Snuggles is all mine, and you can't have her Applejack." "Snuggles, who cares about Snuggles. I want RD," Applejack said while snorting out steam. Fluttershy knew that physically she would be unable to take out Applejack. She also remembered she was still wearing her mistress outfit underneath the robe and any tussle could expose it. "Rarity now," she said excitedly. Applejack turned around and saw nothing but the darkness coming from Everfree. "Oh no ya don't!" she yelled out as the door shut on her. "Fluttershy, ya open up this darn door before I break it." ____________________________________________________________ Pinkie Pie was feeling great. She had just finished having some private fun with Twilight and they were in the bliss of post coitus. "That was so much fun! We should so totally do it again." Twilight blushed and rubbed her hooves together. "Right now? I mean we just finished... aren't we supposed to wait?" Pinkie giggled. "No way! That was so much fun! I mean that thing you did with your hoof...amazing!" Twilight hid under her blanket. "Stop you're embarrassing me. Wait what's that noise?" Pinkie looked over and saw Tank with a look of duty and shame on his face. "Tank... you were watching? You pervy Turtle!." "It's a tortoise…” Twilight countered. ”Wait! Tank belongs to Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Dash is thought to be missing.” Pinkie Pie gasped. "He can lead us to Rainbow Dash! Alright Tank, you can be forgiven for being a perv, if you lead us to Rainbow Dash." Twilight noticed how they smelled and suggested a shower before they would rush off to find their missing friend. ____________________________________________________________ Rarity had been feeling guilty the entire time she ate her meal. It was delicious as well, which made it worse. She decided it was high time she stopped Fluttershy and helped Rainbow Dash escape the horrors she imagined would be taking place. "You have saved my life plenty of times Rainbow Dash, it's time for me to save yours!" She yelled. Rarity got worked up, before charging into the darkness of the night towards Fluttershy's cottage. With time being of the essence she didn't waste any worrying about sweating or her looks during duress. She used all the might her legs had in them to make a stride that was impressive... for a unicorn with no athletic prowess. She made it past Twilight's library ignoring the sudden appearance of Pinkie and Twilight. Her legs grew tired as she marathoned all the way to her destination. She arrived just in time to see Applejack getting ready to break down Fluttershy's door. "Applejack, wait!" ____________________________________________________________ Applejack gave Fluttershy ample time to respond and with nothing holding her back she was ready to break down the door. It wasn't until she heard somepony calling out to her that she stopped herself mid charge. "Rarity?" She asked confused. Rarity panted in exhaustion. "Wait... don't do... what you're about to do..." Applejack went to check on Rarity, who seemed in distress. "What's goin' on sugar cube?" Rarity sighed. "It's about Snuggles, there is something you should know Applejack...." ____________________________________________________________ Fluttershy began packing her things. "We have to go, Snuggles, we need to leave Ponyville for a while." Rainbow Dash gave her a "are you kidding" look. "Fluttershy, what do you mean by 'we have to leave Ponyville for a while'?" Fluttershy was leaking tears from her eyes and panicking. "We have to go... if they find you here they will lock me up or something!" Rainbow Dash stood in her way and gave her a stern look. "Fluttershy, you need to calm down. What do you mean by they will lock you up?" Fluttershy looked away sadly. "Ponies aren't allowed to keep other ponies as pets. When I was in the library I was reading all sorts of books on pets and critters. They said it's illegal to own a pony as a pet." Rainbow Dash got angry. "Why didn't you tell me Shy? Look I can explain to them-" "No! I can't risk it. Please, Snuggles, come with me... let's go together." Fluttershy had the saddest puppy dog eyes ever. She wanted to be safe and alone with her pet. "Fluttershy, we don't have to run anywhere I can keep you safe, and plus, you have all these other animals that rely on you." Fluttershy began shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. It was a sad sight to behold and Rainbow Dash had to bear it. "Please, Snuggles, let's go." Rainbow Dash sighed softly. "Shy... don't worry... I will protect you." Rainbow Dash slowly wrapped a wing around Fluttershy and massaged her side slowly. "No pony will ever hurt you while I am around ok?" Fluttershy's tears stopped leaking as much. she regained composure and nuzzled Rainbow Dash lovingly. "Promise?" Rainbow Dash smiled and looks at her with a serious face. "I promise." ____________________________________________________________ Applejack yelled "What!" as loudly as she could. "Yer meanin' to tell me that Rainbow Dash is Snuggles?" Rarity sadly nodded. "It's true, Applejack, I had to warn you in case you're serious about breaking down the door." Applejack felt hurt. "Is this why you showed up? To stop me?" Rarity winced at the tone. "No... I came to stop Fluttershy myself. She came by earlier and borrowed something to use on Snug- Rainbow Dash. I wanted to stop her but.... she was menacing." Applejack snorted angrily. "I'm goin' in there and comin' out only when I have RD with me." Rarity didn't have the heart to tell Applejack about Rainbow Dash's initial willingness. "We aren't supposed to know Applejack... and we can't let them know that we know." Applejack gave Rarity a look that could kill. "Yer suggesting I jus' let Fluttershy keep on doin' what she's doin'?" Rarity grew nervous. "Well... no, but I don't want you hurting her, darling." Applejack saw how frightened Rarity grew and calmed herself a bit. "Alright sugar cube, I promise I won't hurt Fluttershy if she ain't stoppin' me from gettin' RD outta there." Rarity decided to blurt out something that would shock Applejack to the core. "Rainbow Dash wanted to be Fluttershy's pet!" What Rarity heard in response only made her feel sick to the stomach. She heard three gasps instead of one, alerting her to the presence of two other ponies. "Pinkie Pie... Twilight... when did you two get here?" she nervously asked. ____________________________________________________________ Twilight thought she misheard Rarity. "Did you just say, Rainbow Dash wanted to be Fluttershy's pet?" Rarity giggled. "Oh... you heard... right well... see-" Applejack stamped her foot in an aggressive manner. "Yes! She jus' did... can ya believe this crap?" Pinkie Pie giggled. "So Rainbow Dash is like a doggy?" Twilight sighed. "No Pinkie Pie... this situation isn't funny. If Snuggles is really Rainbow Dash then Fluttershy could end up locked away for a long time." Rarity chuckled nervously. "Well I don't think we need to do anything as drastic as report this to anypony, I mean is she really hurting anypony by keeping Rainbow Dash as a pet?" Applejack got real close to Rarity, dangerously so. "Ya ain't meanin' to tell me that I ain't hurt right now, are ya?" Rarity gulped. "Good point... alright then... why don't we just try to be civil about all this... Fluttershy is our friend." Twilight groaned. "This can't be happening... Fluttershy is our friend but I am also a princess... I can't allow this kind of degradation to happen on my watch." Rarity began crying. "Please you girls... we can't lose Fluttershy... not over this. Let's just... ignore what we know and pretend we didn't find anything out." Applejack was boiling inside, the rage of being denied justice made her stir. "Fine! if we goin' to do this then let's go now... I don't want to be near Fluttershy or her property right now." Rarity nuzzled Applejack in gratitude. "I will escort you home Applejack... we can talk along the way." Twilight wanted to protest but Pinkie stopped her with a hoof. "Let it go Twilight... for now let's just let everything play out. If we see Rainbow Dash and she looks like she needs help, we can do something about it." Twilight sighed and let it go. It was her duty to stop things of this nature, since Celestia told her about things of historic traditions that were banned. ____________________________________________________________ Fluttershy was lost in her own world. Blind to the events unfolding outside her cottage, she was enjoying the embrace she was in. "Snuggles, I promise I will be kind to you. I want to start over and be a better owner." Rainbow Dash smiled and continued rubbing Fluttershy's side. "I think that would be awesome. I mean this whole being whipped... wasn't working out for me." Fluttershy kissed Rainbow Dash's cheek softly. This will be just till you accept being my pet permanently. Then we shall move out of Ponyville and I will make sure you learn to submit properly. "You are the greatest pet in the world, Snuggles." The best part is, that you are all mine. Rainbow Dash blushed. "Hey enough sappy stuff... can we eat dinner now? I'm starving." Fluttershy had a wicked smile hidden from view and eagerly replied with, "Yes I think it would be nice if we had something to eat." ____________________________________________________________ Applejack was walking back to Sweet Apple Acres with Rarity at her side. "I still don't get why we ain't doin' anything about this." Rarity sighed and brushed her body along side Applejack's to toggle her mind. "If we do something about it we lose an element of harmony and a friend. I know Fluttershy has been acting odd as of late, but surely they will get bored with this whole, pet thing and things will go back to normal. I am certain Rainbow Dash wouldn't be a pony who can just sit still for too long." Applejack brushed back and chuckled. "Yeah yer right, sugar cube, they ain't goin' to be like that for too long." “Speaking of too long… it’s late and I’m tired. Mind if I stay the night?” Rarity asked with a small yawn. “I don’t see why not? Jus’ don’t snore sugar-cube,” Applejack replied gently. Rarity blushed. “Who says we are sleeping in the same room? Don’t you have an extra bedroom?” Applejack chuckled. “What extra room?” Rarity groaned. “Fine we’re sharing a room… you get the floor. “ Applejack stopped in her tracks. “Excuse me? I’m tryin’ my hardest to do you a favor and now on top of it all you want to take over my home?” Rarity frowned and in a whiny voice replied, “I’m sorry… I know this must be hard for you. If it makes you feel better, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy aren't romantically involved. It’s merely some sick deal that was made.” Applejack made a small smile for a split second. “Well I rather not think about that. Let’s jus’ go to bed, plus it wasn’t so bad when we slept over Twilight’s library that one time.” Rarity smiled softly. “I guess it wasn't… maybe tonight won’t to end badly either. We can talk a bit and then just relax as we drift to sleep.” Applejack nuzzled Rarity gently. She wasn't feeling as bad, knowing that Rainbow Dash’s weird relationship to Fluttershy was platonic. It gave her hope that all would end well if she just stuck to her guns. Spike, on the other hand, was watching two semi loud mares walk intimately close as they were entering the house. “So that is why she wasn't into me… I guess I never had a chance… well here’s hoping that Fluttershy’s new pet isn't into mares.”
