(SiC) Part 2 - Flutter Clutter

Having One Shell of a Time

Fluttershy opened up the door and quickly headed inside. She slammed it shut and locked the door. Fluttershy walked over to the center of the room and took off her saddle bag. She opened it and gently took the cage out. Her eyes lit up like Pinkie Pie's eyes would in an all you can eat buffet of nothing but candy. She placed the cage on the ground and began to take out all of the sea shells inside of her bag.

A few weeks had gone by and Twilight Sparkle and her friends were beginning to wonder how Fluttershy was doing. They hadn't seen her since their trip to the beach.

The five of her best friends decided to pay a little surprise visit. They also brought Big Macintosh along with them. Thankfully, Rarity didn't have to threaten burning his farm down this time. When they arrived, they were shocked to see many of the woodland creatures standing outside of Fluttershy's cottage. Even Angel Bunny was outside and he had his face covered in his paws as if something disgraceful had just happened. The ponies came up to the door and looked at Angel Bunny.

"What in Tar-nations is goin' on here, Angel Bunny? Ya'll look like yer havin' a protest or somethin'," Applejack said.

Angel Bunny pointed at the door and then brought his paw to his throat and then slowly dragged his paw across his throat as if he were committing suicide with an imaginary knife. He looked very angry.

"Oh dear. I think Fluttershy has done somethin' stupid again," Applejack said. "We'd better go inside and check."

Applejack put her hoof on the handle and pulled it open. Surprisingly the door wasn't locked, but when she just barely opened the door, a force pushed her backwards and a pile of sea shells came out of the house and buried the ponies. The ponies popped their heads out of the massive pile of sea shells. Applejack popped her head out and spit a sea shell out of her mouth. "What in tar-nations is this all about? I saw Fluttershy bring home a few sea shells when we went to the beach, but this is just ludicrous!" Applejack called inside the house. "Fluttershy, are ya in there? Come on out and explain yerself."

Fluttershy appeared from behind the house with a large bag of sea shells that was strapped to her back. "Oh, I heard you call for me. I just got back from the post office to pick up a special delivery I had ordered. I had ordered these sea shells from a catalog that I picked up on the beach."

"What's up with all of these sea shells, Fluttershy, and why are you buying even more when your cottage is already flooded with them?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh," Fluttershy said. "It's for a special new animal critter friend I have."

"But what kind of critter needs to have so many shells?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Fluttershy called inside of her cottage. "Come on out Herman, and meet my friends."

Slowly, but surely, a hermit crab came crawling out from the massive pile of shells.

"This doesn't explain why you need to buy so many sea shells, Fluttershy," Twilight said.

"It's a complicated situation," Fluttershy said. "He's a young hermit crab and he's growing. He can't get the right feel for what sea shell his body would feel most comfortable in, so I have been ordering him many new sea shells to try out so he can get that perfect fit." Fluttershy looked at her friends and they were glaring down at her with great anger. Fluttershy gulped and asked, "Y-y-you're all not upset by this are you?"

Applejack straightened up and said, "Girls. Get me my Bible, some holy anointing oil, some rope, and some holy water. We're gonna do a lil' thing called an exorcism.

The end.
