//------------------------------// // Fluttershy // Story: Ponyville confessions // by Lunaexcelsior //------------------------------// So I’m sitting there, tending bar, when in comes one of my more conservative customers, Fluttershy. Now Fluttershy I usually very, well, shy, as her name would suggest, so she doesn’t talk as much as some of my other customers do. Until, she has a few pints in her that is. Then she becomes chattier than Trixie and Bon Bon combined. So she walks in and sits by the bar. “ Oi, Ms. Fluttershy, what’ll it be today?”, I asked. “One daiquiri please”, she whispered under her voice and looked at me shyly. I gotta admit, my heart kind of melted- Her actions are just so freaking cute! “Here ya go, Ms. Shy”, I said and gave her the drink. “Thank you”, she smiled at me and drank it one gulp. “Could you, possibly make me another one? Pretty please”, she said and did that cute thing with her eyelashes. I smiled. “Of course MS. Shy”, I said and poured in her another one. “Thank you”, she said and gulped it again. She waved her glass for a refill. I was surprised and poured in her drink. “Are you feeling fine, Ms. Shy?” I asked her. “Whatever do you mean?” she said and gave the slightest hiccup. She covered her mouth with her hoof in the cutest way I ever saw. Seriously, every time she is here, I feel my heart melting away. I’m surprised I haven’t gotten diabetes by now. “Well, it’s you third daiquiri today alone”, I pointed out, “Is everything alright?” “Well”, she rubbed her shoulder awkwardly, “things haven’t been the best at my cottage” she said and sipped her drink. “Angel bunny?” I asked. “How did you know?” she said in surprise. “Call it a hunch”, I said and rolled my eyes. That stupid rabbit of hers is the most annoying critter I had seen in my life. I mean the way I saw it use her is just awful. One time she went in with that hellish being, it actually kept pulling on her mane and throwing tantrum until Flutters bought him his treat. “So, what’s your grievance?” I asked her. “Well”, she began, “I was just tending to my animal friends when Angel started pulling my mane. I was too busy, since one of my birdies hurt his wings, but Angel paid no mind to it. He kept pulling my mane until I finally paid him attention. So I turned to him and asked what the problem is. Apparently, little mister, pardon my rudeness”, she apologized, “Wanted me to play with him. I tried to explain that the birdies needed my attention or else they would starve. He pouted and gave me a cold shoulder. I had to work for weeks to get him to talk to me again”, Fluttershy sighed. “Wow”, I said, “that sounds pretty messed up”. “You’d think so”, Fluttershy said, “but that’s not the worst thing he did. No no, that was the time when he instigated fight with another bunny. Apparently he was jealous of him”, she said and gulped down her drink. “So what did you do?” I asked her. “Well, I drove the two away from one another”, she said, “And then”, she breathed in for a second, “HE HIT ME!” she slammed her hoof on the table. I flinched for a second. “At that point I was pushed to my limit”, she said, “I stared the most menacing stare I could muster at Angel”. “What happened then?” I asked her with a bit of fear in my eyes. I mean Fluttershy is the most patient and kindest pony I had ever had the courtesy to meet, so if you make her mad, you know you’ve done something wrong. “Well, let’s just say Angel has much more respect for me, now”, she winked at me and paid me for the drinks. I don’t know what she did to that rabbit, but the next I saw him, he was the calmest creature ever. He barely said anything. I tell ya, don’t ever piss off that mare. She might be kind, but even she has her breaking point. You see a lot of weird things as a bartender. You see a lot of weird things at the Hay Palace. So, I see a lot of weird things as a bartender at the Hay Palace. And that’s no lie. Swear on me mum.
