Fluttershy's Lullaby

|5| Twilight's way of doing things Part 2

He looks so... attractive. I could never ask for anything else but to have him holding me. There he was in my sights, I gallopped towards but some how he seemed to be further away than I expected. He wasn't moving, how could that be. I proceeded running after the love of my life. Suddenly, he turned and began walking away. Everything seemed to be a black empty space except a spotlight beaming at Bashful.

"Bashful, wait!" I yelled, my call faded into an endless echo, it repeated over and over again. I saw another pony with him... It was a yellow pegasus, then I realized it was Fluttershy. Wait... Fluttershy! I began sprinting with all my horsepower. It just didn't get any closer to them, I only became further away...

"I love you, Fluttershy." He said, he actually said it... My heart started to feel odd, it's a painful feeling. I finally stopped in place and watch them become smaller as they walked together.

"I love you, Bashful..." I said crying.

Twilight snapped her eyes open, the ceiling was in sight. She sighed in deep sorrow. Twilight stood up from her bed, scratching her tired eyes with a hoof, she took a glimpse out the window; the sun was barely rising, ponies began thier early duties and others such.

Twilight frowned and stared at the ground, only for a few minutes, she gazed upon Spike -who was snoring in his sleep like he always does. Twilight targeted the door and went through going downstairs.

Everything was the same, it always is. Scanning the shelves, Twilight examined around -even though she knew every crack, corner, and parts of the library anyways. It might just be a cure for boredom, or sadness. The book Twilight has been studying lately, used her magic to bring to her. She flipped through the pages, then fliupped through them fast, then even faster. Enraged, Twilight threw the book at the ground, it didn't damge it though. Her eyes started to water -not a single dropped though.

She stomped her hoof on the ground, "No! I will have Bashful! He will be mine... all mine!" Twilight began laughing, mindlessly.


Fluttershy dropped the carrot in front of Angel -he had his arms crossed and had an upset expression on his face, like he always does. Fluttershy nudged the carrot closer to Angel, he nodded no.

"Angel... you must eat or you'll starve, I don't want that to happen to you." The helping pegasus said. He declined with a nod once again. Fluttershy sighed and just gave up, she never gives up, today was a bit off for her. Her only hope was to be visited by Bashful and help her with her lack of affection. She finished up feeding the rest of the animals and wnet inside her cottage.

Fluttershy now realized there was nothing else to do, as an option. She felt the need to do something or perhaps was hungry, she didnt know, she just needed to motion now. She felt her stomach which wasn't growling, that's an option wasted. She looked around the place seeking for something to actually do. Nothing. Fluttershy blinked, holding it closed for only a matter of seconds.

Fluttershy raised her eyes and went upstairs to her bedroom, hopefully she can use a rest. She slid the door open and trotted to her bed, now laying on it she covered herself and closed her eyes. She shifted around finding a comfortable spot. After a dozen minutes later, she soon fell asleep.

Meanwhile, twenty five minutes later, Bashful finally got to Fluttershy's cottage. He let himself in but didn't see anyone in the living room. He went into the kitchen, nopony.

"Fluttershy, are you around?" Bashful called, yet, nopony answered. "Maybe she went with Rarity on a spa day... Wait, today's... yes, wensday, they do usually go today, wonder why she didn't tell me. Eh, i'll meet up with her later on, maybe tomorow. Who knows." Bashful thought before exiting out the front door. Then he stopped.

"I didn't check the upstairs." He whispered to himself. "... I don't think Fluttershy is up there." He walked out of the cottage, walking down the path while passing by small animals. As he walked away from Fluttershy's property he thought what he should do; Twilight did invite him to the library. He set up his mind and headed towards Twilight Sparkle's place -and library.

It didn't take him long to get there, he walked up the door and knocked on it. It wasn't long before Twilight emerged. She looked quite awful, her hair wasn't ship shape, her smile was wide, her eyes seemed very tired.

"Bashful!" Twilight hollered. "Uh, what brings you here? I mean, aren't you supposed to be with Fluttershy?"

"Well, she wasn't there so I decided to take up on your offer from yesterday, how odd?" Bashful replied, walking inside.

"Yes, odd, very odd, hehe." Twilight nervously said, "Perfect." She thought. Bashful started to scan through the shelves, seeking something that would intrigue him in anyway. Twilight stood by him, glaring at him, he didn't seem to notcie it.

"Twilight?" He began, not closing his sights with the shelves- and books.

"Uh, yes?" The anxious unicorn replied.

"Do you have any reference or guide books about animals, such as caring for them or even one that shows what a specificcreature is?" Twilight understood andsearched quickly through the shelves. She found and levitated a large book to him, he used his own magic to levitate the book. He read the title; All about animals and mythical creatures.

"Thanks Twilight, i'll be needing this." He set the book aside him. Twilight kept... staring at him, his glistening light green mane, his bright white coat, and finally his aqua blue eyes. She couldn't stand it anymore, she wanted his love, for him to love her. This was her chance, she'll get another like this.

Bashful couched, gently. "You have quite a collection of books here Twilight, ha, I barely notice it now."

"Why yes, yes there are a lot of books." She said, trying to put out a seducing tone.

"So, tell me Twilight, other than letting me borrow a book, why did you need my aquaintance exactly?" Bashful questioned, now looking at Twilight.

"Reasons, just reasons." Twilight glared at him lowering her eyelids only halfway down.

"Really, and what might those rea- Mmph!" Bashful was suprised with a deep kiss by the lavender unicorn -who had her eyes shut and enjoyed every bit of it.
