Shyest, But The Cutest

The Next Day

I woke up, yawning loudly. I seemed to have gotten a long sleep, as it was morning. With that, my stomach rumbled like crazy. Didn't eat that much yesterday, which was a fast day. But yet, it felt... beautiful. It all came up like that. All because of Fluttershy. I remembered every adorable detail of her. That's not creepy, is it? Right? But my bunny, Angelica, started to thump and hop, telling me to go make some breakfast. I was starving, so I was going to make it a heavy one.

I started to just make a ton of waffles and pancakes. Got some blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, whip cream, and Granny Maplehoof syrup. This actually felt fun to do, honestly. The animals started to help out, like always. Sweet creatures. They were like MUCH better than EVERY pony in Equestria. Oh. Well, not all of them. Fluttershy. She seemed shy and nice, like me! It's almost unlike any other pony I've seen and met. But, maybe... maybe things changed. M-maybe they aren't as bad and cruel as they seem now. I'm in a different location, with different ponies. I never DID try to become a friend with any pony in Ponyville before. Well, except for that adorable and precious Fluttershy! I can't stop thinking about her! She's like the ONE. I can't lose such a mare!

Little did I know that I was pouring maple syrup on my pancakes, and it all ended up being Fluttershy's face. Oh. What has gotten into me? This mare really has gotten into my head really good. I mean, again, never really liked my kind. And that is pretty dark to say at the least. But that again, times could have changed. Ponies could be different here...

But, me and the animals ate our breakfast, and got full. I'm stuffed from all those pancakes, I'll tell ya what! I then decide to walk outside to give my flowers some water from my watering can. During the session, I stare out down the hill. There lied Ponyville. I then thought. Should I go down? Meet some other ponies and friends? It felt like some tough challenge. My shyness was swelling up in my mind at the thought of it. Then, after watering the plants, I brush my pink hair back. Let's do this. I put Angelica in charge of the place, as always when I leave, and set down towards Ponyville. I had both good and bad intentions about this place.

I head out, and go checking out the place. Ponyville looked happy and sunny, so maybe this was going to be goodie-good. I then tried to search around for Fluttershy, if she was even out. I took my time, not just looking for that mare, but I took my time looking at the other ponies around me. They seemed to just smile and go on with a happy morning. I just kept myself together, as yet I got really tense being in the crowd of ponies. Ya, I'm not great with crowds. I feel like I'm drowning, except there's no water. Just ponies.

I then see a flash of pink for a second in my sight. Immediately, I head towards that position. Must be Fluttershy. I shuffle through the traffic, and finally see another flash of pink, entering a bakery or something. If I remember, I heard that this place was called Sugarcube Corner. I think. Is it? No matter, as Fluttershy is in that building. I head in, turn my head, and see a flash of pink before closing my eyes and saying, "H-hi, Fluttershy! Fancy m-meeting you here."

I open my eyes, and blush nervously. It wasn't Fluttershy. It was another mare, giving me a questionable look. She was all pink with poofy, dark-pink hair. "Fluttershy?" the mare says. "Oh, I'm not Fluttershy, silly! I'm the one and only Pinkie Pie!" She gave me a wide smile.

"Oh, uhhhhh, wrong mare! Hehehe..." I said, nervous and embarrassed. Idiot! I saw the color of this pony's skin, and it's pink! Pink! Fluttershy is NOT pink!

"But," the mare continued. "If you really are looking for Fluttershy, I heard she is in the Everfree Forest." I had a sigh of relief. OK, that's where she is. Well, thank this pink, happy mare! I go on my way, until... "Actually, why are you looking for Fluttershy?" I froze.

"Uh..." I said, trying to find words, very quickly. "I just w-wanna talk t-to her that's all. She's a f-f-friend." I told her.

Pinkie Pie smiles wide. "Well, okie-dokie! But hey, you are a friend of Fluttershy, so I'll let ya go. What's your name?" I froze again. Oh boy.

"Butterscotch." I said quickly, getting over it.

"OK, Butterscotch. See you later!" She waved as I was leaving the building. I honestly don't think we'll ever meet again. Well, I just jinxed myself, didn't I?

I walked around in the Everfree Forest, then realizing how scary this was getting. Uh, did that mare, Pinkie Pie, tell me WHERE Fluttershy exactly was? I mean, this ain't a small building or area. It's a gigantic forest, she could be anywhere. Matter of fact, I can get LOST in here. I don't know much about this place, so hey, I could become a victim in this dreadful forest. But then a light shined in this dreadful forest. A yellow pony.

Fluttershy sat there, with some critters gathering around. Squirrels, rabbits, deers, even skunks. Hopefully they don't spray. I heard her singing to them in the meanwhile. It was a sweet little tune, and it sounded beautiful. Harmonic. I wanted to walk out of the bush and say hi, but something was holding me back. Shyness? Why am I getting shy all of a sudden? Then I get the realization that I was feeling that this might be a weird thing that might make Fluttershy not like me. Like when I usually tried to make friends back then, I would accidentally make a conversation weird, and that pony would back off. Like when I bumped into Fluttershy, that was sort of awkward, but she became a friend of mine.

I toughened up. I can't just back away from this. "Hi, Fluttershy!" I said, jumping out of the bush. And the animals were very alarmed, and the skunks had their tails up high and ready, but they didn't spray. They actually just looked at me. I soon take notice that these fellow animals were some of the animals I have talked to back then. They knew me well, and they liked me for my caring ways for them. So instead of going wild like their in the middle of an invasion, they simply smile at me, and jump around me in glee. I almost backed away from this as I thought they were going to harm me.

"Oh, uh- h-hi!" Fluttesrhy said. I smiled at her, while their was a bunny rabbit right next to my hoof, thumping very loudly. I looked at the little critter. He seemed to look very familiar. He almost looked like Angelica, except that this guy doesn't have the eyelashes. He seemed a little more grumpier, too. "Oh." Fluttershy said, seeing the bunny. "That's Angel, if you don't mind." I looked down at it.

"Hi, Angel." I said, softly. The bunny then seemed to calm down a tad bit. He then just looked at me. "There, you're a good bunny, now. Hehe." I looked up to Fluttershy, who smiled at seeing this. "Your pet bunny?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Oh, yes. Angel here was a dear pet I had since I got my cutie mark." She then showed me her cutie mark, three pink butterflies. "I'm pretty much a animal-loving nature pony. What's your cutie mark?" I seemed to sweat slightly.

My cutie mark was a pink bunny, but I was still the same like her, which made us seem to fit together nicely. "Um... here." I showed her my cutie mark, and she giggled.

At first, I thought she was laughing at it, since it's girly. But then, she made a comment on it. "That's nice and cute. Are you the same as I am?" I simply nod. "Oh, that's perfect!" I then started to act shy and cover myself with my tail, for some reason. She tilted her head. "W-what's wrong? I-is it s-something I said?"

I shook my head. "No. It's..." I started to talk, but lost some words. Then I came back, saying, "I just kinda got... made fun of. My 'friends' back then saw this as a girly nature cutie mark, and so they made fun of me. I hated living back there, and ever since, I got stuck to my animal friends back at home. I got REALLY shy then." I explained, and Fluttershy trotted close to me.

"Oh, that's terrible." she said. "The same thing kinda happened to me, too." I paused. R-really? "Back then, when I was a filly in Cloudsdale, other ponies started to make fun of me for being a weak flier and a shy kind." That... that sounds like my story... "But then, a friend in deed came by to help me. Rainbow Dash. She was awesome and always was looking forward to help me out and stand up to the bullies. But, I don't mean to be rude here, but you said you didn't have friends, did you?"

I shook my head. "Sadly." I told her. "I had nopony like that help me during any of my times. I just suffered that's all."

Fluttershy then thought of a bright idea. "Wait, I got it!" she yelled. I listened closely to what she was going to say. "How about we get you some friends? Trust me, every single pony in Ponyville is nice, indeed. Especially my best friend, Rainbow Dash. Matter of fact, why don't we meet her now?!" She took my hoof, which my face blared red all over. "Follow me, I know where she could be, right now." She then started flying off towards Cloudsdale, the giant city made out of clouds. I didn't know what to do, but she was leaving.

"W-wait!" I shouted, then I flew up after her, following her to (maybe) my new friend.
