//------------------------------// // |6| Make her Flutter // Story: Fluttershy's Lullaby // by SirusAstro //------------------------------// Five minutes before the incident between Twilight and Bashful "Hopefully Twilight will fix my problems, she is very smart, she'll give me some advice." Fluttershy yawned -considering her recent rest only minutes ago. Fluttershy walked calmy through the town of Ponyville. As always, many ponies were outdoors dealing with thier own business or duties. The shy pegasus took observation on every single movement on every pony. Somehow it enlightened her and showed herself restored rejoice. Fluttershy continued on to Twilight's library in hope for some help. In sights, Twilight's abode, she headed to the front door. She hanged her head down, only for a few seconds, she elevated herself and gently knocked on the door, nopony answered. She tried again, nothing, her knocks couldn't even be heard by a single pony. She decided to let herself in, noises of struggle seemed to be heard. Bashful pushed Twilight away, breaking the kiss. "Twilight!" Bashful yelled, furious and confused. "Oh, don't act like you don't want me to stop." Twilight declared, trying to settle herself another kiss from Bashful. Bashful repelled Twilight away. Then he saw Fluttershy, standing, watching... "Fluttershy!" Bashful said, completely worried. "Fluttershy? My name isn't Fluttershy..." Twilight turned around notcicing Fluttershy frozen. Bashful got the chance to puch her off, he did, she fell off on her back. Twilight scratched her head and stood up. "Fluttershy... it isn't what you think it is! She attacked me." Fluttershy stood there not hearing anything, tears started to drip to the ground. She barged out of the door and began flying away. Bashful ran out, yelling her name over and over again hoping she would come back. She was gone over the horizon. He turned around to Twilight, he was angry and decieved. "What was that?!" Bashful started with an enraged tone. "I... I..." Twilight studdered. "No, don't talk! That was very uneccescary, why would you do it?!" Bashful shouted, waiting for an answer. Twilight had nop choice but to reveal herself. "Because... I... I love you, Bashful." "Well, that's too bad, i'm in love with Fluttershy, nopony else. I would never, ever, cheat on her. Also, I didn't expect this from you Twilight, pathetic! Going after your best friends coltfriend, again, pitiful if you ask me. Who knows if she'll forgive me, if she doesn't, I will bring upon myself to blame only you!" Bashful slammed the door behind him and went to look for Fluttershy. "I'm sorry..." Twilight said to herself, still watching the front door. She felt sorrow and dull feelings inside her, willl Fluttershy forgive her? Twilight sat on her rump on the wooden floor. She sat there, only to think of her wrong ways. Bashful, on the other hand, ran to Fluttershy's cottage. He assumes she will be there... crying. He began to hurry his pace. Soon he got there, without hesitation, he went throught the front door. "Fluttershy, are you here?!" He called out, repeating it depending on an answer to his worries. Nothing occured. He went upstairs, quickly, he opened Fluttershy's bedroom door. Nopony was in there, he went downstairs and checked every bit of the cottage, nothing was in sight. Suddenly, Bashful was touched on his front hoove, he was startled at first but then realized it was only Angel. Angel pulled on his coat to signal Bashful to follow him, Bashful understood did so. He began to lead him out of the cottage and near the Everfree forest. "She's in there?" Asked Bashful, Angel nodded yes. Bashful knew the history of the Everfree Forest and the dangers that lie inside. He gulped and started totting in slowly. Angel stood and watched as he turned around to head back to the cottage. Bashful was on his own now. Cracks and birds could be heard in the distance such as a eerie jungle. Bashful searched his surroundings concerning for his safety -and Fluttershy's. He called out Fluttershy's name but in a silent manner to not disturb or expose himself to creatures lurking around. After some time, he heard sobbing but it wasn't loud, he fought to find the source of it. As he walked around, the cry became louder and louder. He saw a yellow mare sitting by a tree... It was Fluttershy. He neared her, not wanting to alert her. "Fluttershy?" Started Bashful, staring down at her. Fluttershy stopped and looked up, seeing her love. "B-Bashful? Why, Bashful, why?" Fluttershy wiped her tears, yet they kept coming. Bashful felt sad, a single tear flowed down his cheek. He embraced her closely and held tight. Fluttershy's tears fell on his shoulder, he didn't care at all, all that meant to him was he sat there, with his one and only beloved. "I'm sorry Fluttershy... It wasn't my fault, I would never, ever, hurt you in anyway. I love you Fluttershy with the depths in my soul. Bashful kissed on her forehead and stroked her mane. Fluttershy calmed down, only a bit. "I love you too, Bashful, I... I forgive you..." Fluttershy whispered. Bashful's head went back, as so did FLuttershy's. He stared at her, she stared at him. Bashful started to push forward -also shutting his eyes. Fluttershy closed her eyes, and joined Bashful. A passionate and romantic kiss occured when thier lips finally touched. The kiss lasted only for minutes, they both broke it simultaneously. "I love you, Bashful." "I love you too, Fluttershy don't you forget that." Fluttershy smiled at the affection she was given, she charished it. "Why don't we go back to your cottage?" Bashful asked, nearly getting up. Fluttershy pulled him back down. "No... Let's stay here... together." Fluttershy begged. "But it's dangerous here." Bashful objected. Fluttershy put her hoof on his cheek. "With you, i'm always safe... Bashful." Fluttershy held him close. "Okay, for you, Fluttershy." Bashful joined her in the hug. They sat there, silently, with out any doubts. Night started to flow in, risks will come but that won't bother them. No noises could be heard in the distance or near by, the moon rised up in a gentle manner, everything seemed perfect for the two, it was. "Bashful?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes, my love?" Bashful happily answered. "Will you... stay with me forever?" Fluttershy rubbed against him. Bashful, with his eyes still shut, smiled and replied gladly. "I always will be here Fluttershy, don't you ever think differently." Fluttershy felt lighthearted and chuckled behind her lips. "Thank you, Basfhul." Your welcome, my only love."
