//------------------------------// // Fluttershy Scares The Storm // Story: Dragon Blues: Faster Than You! // by Bit-Bolt //------------------------------// Sometime Later Fluttershy had made her way to the mountainside cave that was home to the rapid dragon. She trotted into the dark cavern that was filled with mountains of gold. Fluttershy became nervous as she set hoof into the darkness. It wasn’t long before she miss-stepped and stumbled over one of the skulls scattered about the cave. She let out a surprised shriek and scurried back to her feet becoming increasingly anxious. The Yellow pegasus’s breathing became panicked and heavy. All the commotion soon woke Bolt as he slowly slinked towards Fluttershy from the darkness. “He…hello Mr. Dragon.” She said back into a mountain of gold. As she hit it the top of the pile fell down covering Fluttershy. “Eeeek!” She screamed out as she popped her head out of the mound of shimmering coins. Bolt swaggered towards the pony and yawned looking half awake. “Do I come into your home and wake you when you’re trying to sleep?” He asked rubbing his eyes trying to wake up. “No…no, but you did make a very good friend of mine very upset.” Fluttershy said in a shy almost silent tone of voice. Bolt snorted giving a chuckle as small embers fly from his nose. “Ha yeah that was pretty funny. I totally wrecked her.” Rage begun boiling in Fluttershy like a kettle ready to steam. She cast aside her usual kind and caring demeanor and spoke with anger and authority. “Excuse you! You find Rainbow Dash’s suffering funny do you?” Bolt opened one eye wide and held up a single claw caught off guard by the fact Fluttershy was showing spine. “Uhh I guess.” “You guess. YOU GUESS! You’re wicked words and terrible tone have damaged my friends self-worth and you find that funny. HOW DARE YOU!” She shouted as she walked out of the pile of gold and towards the dragon. Fluttershy was on a warpath and had a scary look in her eyes. “I…uhh….” Bolt suddenly lost all notion of humor and had no comeback to whip out. Fluttershy’s gaze was so sharp and cold Bolt felt like she was cutting his insides to shreds. It was almost as if Bolt and Fluttershy had switched positions as the dragon backed up looking worried. “YOU DO NOT ACT THAT WAY! YOU WILL NOT DEGRADE MY FRIENDS!” She shouted still walking towards Bolt as he backed away. “Okay…..okay whatever you say.” He said now nervous holding up his hands backing away on his hind legs. “YOU GOT THAT BUCKO!?” Fluttershy screamed her tone demanding and deadly serious. Bolt attempted hide as he zipped away and dove into a pile of gold. It wasn’t long before Fluttershy stomped on his tail that was hanging out of the hiding place. Bolt poked his head out his teeth chattering. “Okay! OKAY! I’m Sorry.” The dragon said while the pink haired pony gave a soul-crushing glare. “DO NOT TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME MISTER! You are going to come back to Ponyville with me and apologize to Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy demanded giving her stare that made animals either fear or obey her. Bolt looked into her eyes for a split second only for her grand gaze to shatter his confidence into tiny scared shards. “Leave me alone.” Bolt begged as he revs up his legs and begins to flee frightened. “Oh no you don’t.” Fluttershy shouted as she grabbed onto the dragon’s tail and was pulled along for the wild fast paced ride.
