//------------------------------// // The shy one // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// "Well i hope you like it. dont let me hold you. TOO THE STORY!" I walk out of the forest only to see a yellow pony with a pink mane and tail and a beautiful voice (Fluttershy). I stood there for what felt like an eternity just listening to her sing but after a while I decided to get closer. I think I should wake Dash first so Fluttershy won’t get the wrong idea, a monster caring one of her best friends can’t be a pretty sight. I put Dash down and tried to wake her but she sure is a heavy sleeper. “It’s time to change my tactic.” I say with a grin on my face as I lean in close to hear ear. ”Wake up Rainbow Dash, the Wonderbolts are here.” Her eyes shot open and she jumped into the air squealing “omygoshomygoshomygosh.” “Hahaha, you should see the look on your face, priceless.” Was all I could say before I began gasping for air. “I’m going to make you pay for that.” “Sorry I’m broke.” ha-ha funny. “Ha-ha you’re a comedian. Why did you even wake me up?” “Oh yeah almost forgot. Do you know her?” I say pointing to Fluttershy feeding her animals. “Hmm, yeah that’s Fluttershy. She’s been my friend since junior flight camp.” I stand there and just listen to her beautiful voice some more until I say “She has a beautiful voice.” “Yeah and she’s really good with animals too, so you should fit right in.” “Oh look who’s the comedian now. Well, should we go and say hello or will I just scare her away.” Knowing her she will faint the moment she sees me. “Sure but be careful, she is extremely shy and you look kind of intimidating.” “Huh, Really? Well just tell her I’m a naked bear or something.” Hah yeah like that will work. “Good idea, I will go talk to her, you stay here and wait.” Wait what. How will that be less intimidating? “Ok…” let’s see how this turns out. “Well go and prepare her I need to take care of business if you know what I mean.” She giggled at that. Five minutes later I come back and there stands Dash waiting for me. “What?” I say trying to act all cool. “I think she can take you now… I hope.” uhm what is that supposed to mean “Follow me.” ok then. “Sure” What is the weird feeling, that something will go wrong? “Fluttershy you can come out now.” hope this ends well. “Ok I will be right there.” Ah Fluttershys voice is so soothing. She steps out and sees me with a gasp. “Hello, my name is Dave and I’m a human.” I try to say as calmly as possible. “He is kind of nice guy, he carried me for… How long was it again?” Fluttershy still has a gasp on her face. “I think it was something like three hours maybe.” yeah that’s seems about right. “So you see Fluttershy he is kind of good guy thinking of my leg and wing when his leg is so sore.” Yeah thanks again. “Okay, do you mind if I ask where you come from? You don’t look like anything I have ever seen… if you don’t mind.” There’s the Fluttershy I know and love (yes in that way and Rainbow is here too just saying). “Well I’m not from around here at least; I come from a place called Earth. Where ponies exist but they aren’t sentient they are more like pets. Unicorns and Pegasi or Alicorns doesn’t exist where I come from, they are just myths. But I can see now that there are other places where such things exist” I say with slight smile trying to calm her down. “And the weather controls itself without any input from us but we have scientists that can almost calculate what will happened” that was kind of a long speech. “That seems horrible.” Its Fluttershy of course she would say that. “This place a lot more peaceful than where I come from since there is almost a war going all the time, but I am lucky not to live in a the warzone.” “That’s so sad.” they both say with sad faces. “Well we have grown to live with it so it doesn’t trouble us all that much actually and I am just happy to be here, since the only real friend I ever had died exactly a year ago from today “sigh” and my family, well there is mom and dad but I can’t live my life for them.” “Wait so you want to stay? Why would you want that when you have only met us?” “Well the thing is, where I come from a lot of people are miserable and don’t trust anyone but here I feel like can trust you, even though I just met you. Since you just seems like such nice ponies (people?).” They are really kind actually. “You really mean that?” RD I know I can trust you. “Well yes, and I know that you trust me too since you wouldn’t have allowed me to carry you otherwise. Oh and Fluttershy if you are wondering what’s up with my eyes it is that I have a syndrome called Heterochromia and makes me have two kind of eyes colors. Since I know you would ask eventually.” hopefully that is now out of the way. “I think it looks completely awesome.” Thank you RD. “It’s completely harmless but I still got bullied for it in school, I mean what? I can’t control it and it makes me worse for having something like that?” stupid memories. Fluttershy walks up to me and says “oh my, that’s terrible, just because you look different doesn’t mean they can bul… eep.” There it was again. My body moved on its own again but this time it’s not so bad. I’m hugging Fluttershy! (A dream comes true). “uhm, Dave what are you doing?” I just knew she would say that. “RD do you remember the thing in the forest where you got to hit me 20 times? Yeah well this was it again.” Stupid random impulses. “Oh really, then maybe you aren’t a liar after all” Rainbow say with a smug smile on her face. “Dave, what happened in the forest?” OH GOD PLEASE NO! That’s not for you to hear Fluttershy. “Absolutely nothing, yes that’s right nothing at all.” Please don’t push it. I can’t take it “The horror! The horror!”. “Are you sure?” Of course I am. “He is completely sane and nothing important happened in the forest at all, I promise.” Wow I never thought Rainbow would stand up for me like that, Thanks. “Oh okay I trust you Rainbow and besides if you don’t want to talk about then it’s probably your little secret “WINK WINK.” So now we should get to too treating your wounds don’t you think?” You sure are sincere as always. I love you Fluttershy and you too Rainbow. “Well of course!” We both say in unison. God this is so awesome. Five minutes later when Fluttershy is looking at my leg: ““GASP” What is this?” "DUNN DUNN DUNNN. Well isn't this awesome. oh and by the way i'm swede :) "
