Shifter went and opened the door for Fluttershy and saw her standing there with a smille. He looked at her baffled at such a big smile on her face. As she continued to smile Shifter peeked his head past the door, poking out through it. He is shocked to see not one, but two Fluttershys! The second one peeking from behind the first.
"Um, Shifter this uh, pony here wants to talk to you." the second Fluttershy said while walking next to the first smiley one.
The first Fluttershy tackle hugs Shifter all the way inside the cottage. He hits the ground still caught in hugging embrace. The second Fluttershy quickly trots inside closing the door behind her.
"Yes! I'm not the only good one!" the first Fluttershy exclaimed in glee.
"Ugh! Okay, first, I don't know you! second, that hug hurt! And third, I'm anything but good, I"m just stuck here." he said trying to break free of the hug.
He struggled to get out the hug, trying to wriggle free. All the first Fluttershy did in response was just hug harder, making shifter groan in annoyance.
"Oh yeah! I should probably go back to my previous form." the first Fluttershy said letting go of Shifter and getting back up.
This Fluttershy then stood still and a green fire began from her hooves all the way up to her mane. When the flames were gone a surprising thing was discovered. The first Fluttershy changed into Angel Bunny! Shifter looked at Angel in awe, he couldn't believe it.
"Wha! But! How! He! Gah! My Head!" Shifter shouted while flailing around in a great state of confusion.
"Why are you so confused, we're both changelings." Angel said in a calm pleasant voice.
"Because, not only did I not expect to see another changeling, but I can tell a changeling even when it's not itself!" he explained while still flailing his hooves in the air.
Looking at Fluttershy, Shifter continued with the confused look on his face.
"How long have you known about this!" he asked pointing at Angel.
"I just found out earlier that she was a changeling this whole time." Fluttershy said while rubbing Angel's head.
"Wait? SHE!? Yo-Your a girl!" he shouted looking over at Angel.
After this realization, Shifter blushed as he has never known a female changeling besides Chrysalis, and even then he was very shy. He then remembered the long hug he got from her and that he tried to get free, he then blushed even more. Angel then blushed as well, noticing the look on Shifter's face.
As they were awkwardly looking at each other, Fluttershy noticed the broken pieces of wood in the middle of the room.
"Um, what happened here?" she asked flying up surveying the room.
"Oh, yeah, about that, I may have to go back to the Everfree forest." he said looking at the ground and scratching his head.
Fluttershy looked at the pieces of wood, and flew down to get a better look. She noticed that the one of the pieces had an apple symbol. She then gasped as she remembered her delivery from Applejack had been earlier today.
"Oh no! Applejack! Did she see you!" she screamed in worry as all these horrible scenarios went through her head.
"Let me put it this way, she might come back with an angry mob." he said in a scared voice.
"Oh no! No! No! This is bad!" Flutteshy said worriedly flying around the room like a bee missing a wing.
As she crazily flew around the room Angel jumped up, and pulled her down to the ground. She pulled her face closer to Fluttershy's
"Flutters! Calm down!" she assured.
"We can figure this out, don't worry." she continued in a calm voice.
"You're right Angel, thank you." Fluttershy said while taking deep breathes.
Fluttershy calmed down and began took think of what to do, the others soon also started to think of a plan. Then something ran by Shifter's mind, why was another Changeling in ponyville.
As the rest of them thought of a plan, Shifter pondered this topic. Wondering why another changeling is in Ponyville. Being confused about why she is living here as bunny, and caring about a pony. Ponies have always been either our enemies or our food source. So why would she voluntarily live and help this pony. He knew that Fluttershy was and all, and that saying no to her is near impossible, but still.
"Shifter have you come up with any ideas?" Fluttershy asked.
"Wha? Oh yeah! Uh, no? Nothin' yet." he responed with a delay.
They continued to think, but none of them had any ideas, or at least any good ones.
"How about, you say that It was disfigured raccoon!" Shifter suggested.
The other two looked at him in confusion. They knew that idea wasn't very well thought out, but they didn't want to call him out on it, though they probably should have, his next idea, wasn't too much better.
"Or how about I change into Flut-tershy,then she hides, while Angel and I convince them there's no changeling here!" he shouted as he thought this was a good plan.
Fluttershy and Angel looked at each other both confused with this idea.
"What, you guys don't like it?" he asked.
They looked at him, they took a deep breath, and simply said the truth.
"That, was the worst idea we've ever heard." They calmly said in unison.
"Oh." he said with his head down.
"Well I guess I should think a little harder!" he shouted, raising his head up high.
"That's good to hear." Angel said in relief.
"By the way, what happened to the apples in the cart?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh, all the animals ate them, I was able to use their love for the food as food." he said in glee.
"Well, at least you all were fed." Fluttershy said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
There calmness was cut short as they could hear the angry sounds of a semi-large mob coming towards the cottage. They were far enough away to be hard, but not seen.
"Oh no! I can hear the mob!" shifter said, panicking and flying around the room.
