A light shone into Timid's closed eyes, she slowly cracked them open not wanting the light anymore. How long had she been out for?
'Sorry....Dizzy....' thought Timid, sorry for having Dizzy being upset.
''Timid!''
A scream drove her out of her thoughts at the look at where the voice came from. A periwinkle filly stood on the bed, crying her wonky blue eyes out as her straw colored mane was messier then normal. It was Dizzy but when did Dizzy start calling her 'Timid'.
''Timid!'' yelled Dizzy again before she grabbed hold of Timid, hugging the cream-yellow unicorn tightly. ''Timid...! I w-was w-worried t-that you wouldn't wake up! T-then the doctors said that Sliver had burned you with his magic in the form of cuts. I was so upset!!''
She openly cried in Timid's shoulder as the filly stroked the straw colored mane of the unicorn. She frowned with tear glistened eyes, upset that she had caused her friend to cry. She didn't wanna hear the relief yet grief drenched crying but knew she had no real choice and she didn't wanna leave Dizzy anyway.
When Dizzy finally looked at Timid, her eyes weren't wonky. They were like any other pony but it was likely she was focusing them to look the same way so she could see Timid straight.
Fluttershy and Twilight walked into the room and saw their daughter awake.
''Timid! Thank goodness your awake.''
Nyx was flapping her wings so she could see her younger sister.
''W-where's everypony else?'' Timid forced herself to speak.
''They at school, Dizzy was alone to skip as her mom said to she could see how she's your best friend.'' said Twilight, as she looked at the periwinkle unicorn that was hugging Timid.
Timid slowly shifted and went to move off the bed only to have Dizzy stop her still with normal eyes.
''Uh huh! No moving till your okay.''
''B-but.. The school talent show....Is tomorrow....So if I have to be here I will miss it...''
''Oh yeah....'' mumbled Dizzy realizing that she had upset Timid.
''Talent show?'' mumbled Nyx, landing on the bed.
''Yeah....School is holding a talent show.... I was gonna bring in some butterflies and show what they are in a presentation.''
''Oh...''
''You can go Timid but don't force yourself. I mean that colt burnt you.'' said her mother as her father nodded.
''Thank you, mommy, daddy.''
The daytime the next day.
The huge stage was set and the fillies were either learning their talents her helping build sets. Timid was standing with some butterflies and was talking to them. A gift that she had inherited. She loved animals and butterflies were her favorites.
Besides her was a loop that was twice the wing length of a avenge butterfly. This was one of the things her butterflies were gonna preform.
''Come on guys. In order and through the loop.''
The butterflies got into a order that Timid had thought them to do. The first butterfly flew through and was soon followed one by one of the others. Timid smiled.
''Good. Now...''
She looked at a flowing obstacle course. It consisted on things the butterflies had to fly through, under or over and it was floating due to being wrapped in Timid's magic.
''One by one now or you'll get hurt.''
The first butterfly flew over to Timid and slowly but surely pasted the obstacle course and encouraged the others to do it. Timid slowly encouraged each and every one of the multicolored flying creatures along the courses. She smiled.
''Okay, everyone. Back to the loop then through obstacle course again then you can have a break.''
The butterflies did as they were told being very good and soon they went off for their break which was just as Cheerilee walked up to the young filly.
''Timid Butterfly, I wasn't expected you to be here after that incident yesterday.''
''Well, I didn't wanna miss it and I don't think my butterflies would be happy if that training went to waste.''
''Your right. Well keep up the good word and by the way, my daughter wants to have a word with you.''
''Apple Flower, a word with me?...''
She looked around and saw the young earth filly carefully staking some apples on top of each other in a pyramid like thing.
''A-Apple...F-Flower?...'' mumbled Timid, as she walked forward.
The filly looked up at the unicorn and soon tears rolled down her face.
''I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't want to do it! But they forced me!''
''Huh?...''
''...I should start from the beginning shouldn't I....''
''That might be better.''
''Well, when ah first started school....ah was unlike the other fillies havin' come from a huge family thus ah got bullied. As you know, ah used to live in Manehatten which didn't really like Apples....But when mommy came here with mah daddy and me....ah thought it was better and thus earned my cutie mark but...then Ruby and Sliver came to me and asked me to bully you....I didn't want to but they forced me too!''
Apple Flower began crying heavily. Timid slowly wrapped her hooves around the crying filly and slowly moved to a sit and stroked Flower's mane. The crying filly slowly calmed under the comfort.
''Thank you....''
''For what?''
''For comforting me and forgiving me....''
''I like how you apologized. Everypony deserves a second chance.''
''E-even me?''
''Yes, even you.'' said Timid with a smile.
''Then....Can I help with the butterflies....? My work isn't much....''
''Sure. I needed a bit of help getting some of the other stuff and training to butterflies there anyway.''
''Okay. Where are they?''
''Back at the castle. Just stay here and make sure that my magic keeps glowing on that obstacle course and even if it doesn't. Make sure it stays together.''
''Okay. Where are the butterflies?''
''Having a break. Back a second.''
Her horn glowed as she teleported to the castle. Flower waited and kept her eye on the floating obstacle course. A light flashed and Timid appeared carrying a box on her back.
''Here we go.''
She put them down. Inside was a butterfly sized trumpet, piano and drums.
''Musical?''
''Yep. In the background certain butterflies will be doing this.''
Also in a box was a mini trampoline for the butterflies and a rope.
''A rope and a trampoline?''
''I train a group of butterflies to do this do to add a bit more into the show.''
''Um...If you don't mind me asking, why don't you having a cutie mark for butterfly training?''
''Hmm..I don't know?''
''Oh...''
Later that night.
Apple Flower hid in the black cape she was wearing. Timid looked at her newly friend who was clearly nervous.
''It be okay, we trained them a lot.''
''Ah know but ah never did anything with butterflies.''
''I could see that when you were working with them.''
''...I guess but lets just have fun.''
''Yep.''
''Flower, Timid your up.'' said Mrs Cheerilee as she pasted the two.
They got off their box and throw their capes off. Apple Flower had her normal plaited mane up in two pigtails and Timid had a french braid that Apple Flower had helped her with. They were wearing cute pink costume that were covered with multicolored butterflies.
Their parents were in the crowd along with their siblings. On Big Mac's lap was Apple Flowers little sister, Blossom who was strangely a unicorn but that was explained by distant relatives of Cheerliee. The filly was red but had the pink streaked mane that Cheerilee had and the same mismatched eyes as her older sister.
Timid started the show by nodded her head to the instrument butterflies which played a beautiful melody that sounded like her mother's hush now, quiet now song. Her horn glowed picking up the loop. Apple Flower gently told the butterfly to fly through in a calm way as to not scare the butterfly.
Next up was the obstacle course which Timid was in charge up. She blinked to Apple Flower who went to a higher level of the stage and began gently telling the butterflies to walk across the rope which they slowly did. The other butterflies began to jump and bounce on the trampoline and do tricks in the air.
Timid was doing a similar job with the obstacle course which was going good and the crown were cheerilee. Unnoticed by Timid though was the flash that came on her flank even though it was covered. The show was prefect and in the end, the pair had been chosen as the best performers and only then did Timid noticed her newly found cutie mark. A yellow, pink and purple butterfly with two smaller ones. Her parents praised her for the show.
