//------------------------------// // Grand Tour // Story: I'm Fluttershy!? // by Grassy Blade //------------------------------// Ponyville Pinkie was showing me around Ponyville. She told me the names of everpony we crossed paths with. Even though I don't remember most of them. We arrived at Sugarcube Corner. I already know the name of the place from the show, but I just let Pinkie Pie do her thing. "This is Sugarcube Corner!" said Pinkie with her right fore-hoof around me giving me a buddy hug. "Which is where Mr. and Mrs. Cake make the most delicious cakes!" Pinkie and I then headed West. We walked... Well actually, Pinkie happily trotted while I followed close behind. We were at the center of town, when Pinkie turned her head in my direction. "South of here is Sweet Apple Acres!" She said Pointing her hoof to the left. (my direction) "My best friend Applejack, and her family harvest and sell apples at their apple farm!" "Gee, I would have never guessed!" I said being sarcastic. "Hey, did you know I grew up on a rock farm?" "I did," I replied "but how does one FARM ROCKS? It doesn't make sense!" Pinkie placed her hoof on her muzzle tapping her chin. "I'm not sure..." she said slowly. My right hoof met up with my face. What she said was totally worthy of a facehoof. "So Kevin, tell me more about yourself." "Well, my favorite color is blue, I was born the 27th of September and-" "What year?" "Huh?" "The year silly! What year were you born?" I could hear giggling from the real Fluttershy. "Oh! 1999." Outside Carousel Boutique Pinkie's tour ends at the Carousel Boutique. "And here is the Carousel Boutique!" exclaims Pinkie. "My best friend Rarity is the best designer of dresses and fabrics in Ponyville!" "Let's go meet Rarity!" I held the door with my left fore-hoof. "Ladies first!" I said half jokingly. Pinkie bounced with glee into the Boutique all Pinkie style. "Thanks!!" she said "You're such a gentlecolt!" After she finished that sentence, her head popped back from around the door. "Or... should I say gentlemare?" 'What?!' She then disappears from sight again. I placed my hoof over my face. "Ugh!" Carousel Boutique I walked into the Boutique to see Rarity running around back and forth. 'Probably worrying about that special order.' I thought. 'She looks distressed' said Fluttershy in 'my' head. 'Maybe you should talk to her' "Hi Rarity!" I said. "Fluttershy! Darling, are you alright? I had heard something had happened, from Rainbow Dash. But I was so caught up in my work that I didn't listen! Can you EVER forgive me!?" said Rarity holding her right fore-hoof against her forehead. "Um... Rarity?" "Oh, what am I talking about? Of course you forgive me! We're best friends!" Interrupted Rarity. "Here try this on!" Her horn glowed a light blue. She then fitted me with a blue dress. "Rarity..." "Oh hush now dearie, I know exactly what you're about to say, and it looks simply divine on you!" she said. "Of course I wasn't quite done with that as of yet, so if you'll allow me to sew in some sapphires then-" "Rarity!" I shouted cutting her off. Rarity jumped at my sudden outburst. "Or perhaps, just leave it the way it is?" "Rarity listen," I said. I'm not really Fluttershy..." "I beg your pardon?" "Well...." started Pinkie taking in a deep breath. 'Oh dear!' I thought. I knew exactly what was about to happen, and I'm sure Rarity did too. "ThisFluttershyisn'tourFluttershybecausethisFluttershyisactuallyahumanfromanotherworldnamedKevin!AndthatKevinisn'tamarehe'sastallionwhichisreallyreallyweirdonceyouthinkaboutitbutthegoodthingisthat FluttershynotthisFluttershybutourFluttershycanspeaktothisFluttershythroughFluttershy'sbrain!" She said taking a deep breath of air into her lungs before ending her rant with a smile. I honestly didn't understand a single word of what she said (neither did Rarity), but If you must know. Here is a Pinkie-to-English translation. "This Fluttershy isn't our Fluttershy because this Fluttershy is actually a human from another world named Kevin! And that Kevin isn't a mare he's a stallion which is really really weird once you think about it! But the good thing is that Fluttershy not this Fluttershy but our Fluttershy can speak to this Fluttershy through Fluttershy's brain!" 'How did she even say all that in one breath?' I thought. 'That's just Pinkie being Pinkie!' replied Fluttershy. "I don't follow..." said Rarity. (I explain) "Oh dear! I am so sorry! if I had known-" "Rarity, it's all right! Besides," I look at my reflection in the mirror. "this dress looks really good on me! You truly have an eye for fashion!" I said trying to make her feel better, which I succeeded in doing. "Aw, why thank you for the compliment!" said Rarity. She levitated the dress off of me, and then Pinkie and I walked out the door. I placed my hoof on my face. 'Ugh! Really!? "This dress looks really good on me!?" Did I seriously just say that!?' I thought. 'Um... yes?' 'Ugh! That was a rhetorical question! You don't answer a rhetorical question!' 'Sorry...' Ponyville On the way back to the cottage, I ran into Derpy. Heh, literally! my head was hurting a little but I was a ok. I rubbed my head. 'Ow...' "Are you alright?" asked the grey mare. "Yeah Ditzy, I'm fine." "How do you know my name?" "Well..." I thought for a minute. "Do you want me to lie to you or-" "Just tell me the truth." she said with an unamused face. "Okay, you're probably going to think I'm lying, but-" "Ah, Derpy! There you are!" I was interrupted by a third voice. "Oh, Hello! Sorry, I didn't see you there! Fluttershy, right?" the voice belonged to Time Turner. "Not exactly..." I said "Whatever do you mean? Twin sister?" "No..." I said 'I've gotta ask him!' 'Ask him what?' 'Nothing you need to know!' "Let me answer your question with another." I said. "Does the term blue box mean anything to you?" He put his hoof under his chin as if he were thinking. 'Probably faking' I thought. "No, I don't believe so... Ditzy? Do you know anything about a blue box?" "No." "Alright, this is going to sound crazy and maybe insane, but..." I had to say it! "I'm actually a human male named Kevin and I watch this show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, that is about this world and the events that happen within it!" "Ok...." said Ditzy Doo "Well, nice to meet you... Kevin." said Time Turner "Bye..." I said. Fluttershy's Cottage Back at the cottage I say goodbye to Pinkie, and say hello to Angel Bunny. (even though he can be stubborn at times.) He was shrugging to me. "Where was I?" I asked. Angel nodded. "Well you see, Pinkie Pie was showing me around Ponyville." He cocked his head to the side. "Well the thing is I'm not Fluttershy. I'm just in her body." Angel gave me a shocked look. "Hang on Angel." I said. "Fluttershy? Where's the food kept?" 'In the kitchen, go around the stairs' Sure enough, I found the kitchen. I opened up the fridge and got 2 apples for me, and a carrot for Angel. I expected him to throw it at me wanting carrot cake or something, but he started eating it without a hitch. 'That was unexpected' After eating we were all tired. I took Fluttershy's body upstairs and into bed. "Good night Angel." I said as he hopped into his cute little bunny bed. 'Good night Kevin.' 'Good night Fluttershy.' And with that, we were all fast asleep...
