"Happy spring!" Fluttershy smiled from the top of a flower-covered float. She wore a cute, frilly blue dress that made her feel like a princess, and a matching crown adorned her mane.
As she cheerfully threw petals, she thought about just how welcoming the townsponies were. She needn't have worried about her wings: it turned out that 2 other Pegasi lived in the town, Star Song and Scootaloo!
The parade float she rode on soon reached the end of the crowd of ponies, slowly coming to a stop. A hoof reached out to her, and she took it as the pony helped her off.
"Thank you... Picollo?" Flutters smiled at the sight of the shy stallion, dressed in a tux and blushing.
"Hey, Fluttershy." Picollo smiled nervously. As the parade came to an end, Fiesta Flair and her band got up on the stage and began to play wildly.
Ponies began to dance in cheerful celebration. Picollo then took Fluttershy's hoof once again and began to dance with her.
The pair danced together, spinning happily to the music. The New Order of the CMC jumped around cheerfully, and Lady Alipper flew over everypony, dancing in the clouds.
High up in the Friendship Gardens, a butter yellow pegasus and a dragonequus sat on a cloud, looking down warmly at their great-great-great-great granddaughter. The Harmony Bearer and her husband looked happily at each other.
"Told you she'd come out of her shell." Fluttershy told Discord, smiling.
"I knew she would, dear. Just like you did." Discord winked, and the pair watched as their defendant and Picollo began to waltz throughout the evening and night.
