I flew with Fluttershy up into the sky. High into the clouds and where many pegasi roamed. I looked around, seeing quite some traffic up here in Cloudsdale. We ventured up more and more until we catch something in our sight. A giant cloud mansion. It had a nice little rainbow fountain in front of it, and it seemed to have an obstacle above it. Like a race track of some sort. And somepony was using it. Fluttershy smiles and flies up to it, and I do, too. Is this the one she was talking about? This blue, rainbow-maned pegasus just bolting around the course, going through the giant cloud rings like there was no tomorrow? Is this Rainbow Dash?
As we approached closer and closer, Fluttershy tried to call out her name. "Rainbow Dash!" she called out loudly several times. Then the blue pegasus slowed down and came to a halt. She looked towards our way, and noticed Fluttershy, her friend, and me, a complete, odd stranger. She flew straight to Fluttershy, and smiled.
"Hey there, Fluttershy!" she said, greeting her. She then looked to her side, and saw me, and I hid myself with a wing. "Uh, Fluttershy," she started to say. "I, uh, you do know there is somepony right behind you, right? You know, right there?" She pointed her hoof at me.
Fluttershy looked up to her, and introduced me. "Oh, him, he's a new friend I met yesterday. His name is Butterscotch." Dash looked back at me, and gave a shrug. "Trust me, you'll like him. He's kinda like the colt version of me I guess you can say." Fluttershy told her.
"Alright." Rainbow said. "Never seen him before, though. Is he new to Ponyville? If yes, welcome to Ponyville!" Fluttershy shook her head at the same time as I did.
"No, he's been here for a while. He's just... uh, shy. Well, more shy than me to be exact." Fluttershy answered.
I got myself in the talk. "Well, I really never had friends before, and I kinda didn't like other ponies because I, well, thought they'd make fun of me because of they way I... look and act." I looked down to the ground, but noticed how high up I was. Oh. I shriek, and jump right into Dash's arms. I notice this and blush just a couple of seconds shaking in fear. "Oh, uh, sorry." I told her as I got off of her. "Never really got this high up before in my life."
Rainbow Dash laughed. "Really? Because, there are WAY more heights higher than THIS! Trust me, I'm a daredevil of flying and heights." Well, she did have that kinda look and style. "But hey, did you say that you NEVER had friends here at Ponyville?" I shook my head. "NEVER?! I can't believe this! H-he's not joking is he, Fluttershy?" She shook her head, too. "Wow."
"Yeah." I said. "Ponies made fun of me, thought of me as a weird kind of guy, you know, cause what kind of colt like me hangs around with animals like I'm one with nature and carries around a pink bunny cutie mark." I hid my cutie mark with my tail, even when she already saw and noticed it. "Yeah, after that, n-nopony was like a nice being in my eyes, so I got the feeling that was going to be EVERY pony in Equestria." I looked at Fluttershy. "But, Fluttershy here is nice and kind and such a dear friend, even if I met her yesterday, and she told me that you'd be a good friend. Are you?"
Rainbow Dash gave out a heart laugh. "Are you kidding? I'm the most AWESOME friend you'll ever have! Of course I'll let you be my friend, and besides, you are friends with Fluttershy. 'The friends of my friends are my friends.' So, yeah, keep it like this, and we'll do just fine." I smiled. That was pretty easy. I just came up to this pegasus and we just suddenly become friends just like that. "You know, we can meet up with the others, like if ya want."
"Are you kidding? I'd love to!" I said, pumped up and excited. I stopped myself and noticed my little exciting state. I've never been quite excited like that before. Especially when I have an offer to meet other ponies. "Who can we meet?" I ask.
"Well, next up we could meet Pinkie." Fluttershy said. I then stopped. Pinkie?
"Pinkie?" I questioned her. "Pinkie Pie? Pink, poofy hair? All energetic with like a high-pitch voice of some sort? That's the Pinkie we are talking about?"
Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yep. That's good ol' Pinkie. What, did you meet her earlier or something?"
I nodded. "You can say that. I thought it was Fluttershy, like by the tail, and I accidentally bumped into her. She scared me, though. Is she a good kind of friend?" I ask Dash. Dash giggled.
"Not every single pony is bad here, Butterscotch. Trust me, she's very energetic and is a party animal, but trust me, she is funny and cool to hang out with. That's a good friend if I ever heard one." Rainbow said, then zooming down towards the place where I saw Pinkie. "Come on!" she yelled, trying to get me to come.
"A-alright... To Sugarcube Corner!" I said loudly. And I then go down with Dash and Fluttershy... very slowly and lightly. As I stared down at Ponyville, I got my heart beating wildly. I felt like I was going to crash for some reason. So, I took it nice and steady. Just being ever so very gently. They were stopping to wait for me. "Oh no, you go." I told them. "I'll meet you guys there. Trust me." They both shrugged and continued to Sugarcube Corner, while I was being an old grandpa flying to the ground. Yeah, sorry, I'm not good with heights, and I'm a pegasus for Celestia's sake! That's another reason why ponies back then made fun of me. But these ponies, they aren't like them. They were very much better.
More friendlier.
