Well, you know, not, like, flying with wings. I mean flying because you hit her so hard she started... Never mind. You smugly smile, thinking about how you should write a book of one liners. That smile quickly turns to horror, however. Fluttershy is spiraling towards the fireplace! You dive to catch her, only to realize she’s a good twenty feet away. You only dive about five feet. But that’s okay. You let out a sigh of relief as Fluttershy lands a few feet away from the roaring fire and not in it. “That was close,” you murmur. Then Fluttershy randomly bursts into flames. You open and close your mouth in shock, akin to your former pet trout, Charles the Third. Oddly enough, he died from burn injuries while still in his fish bowl. You still have no clue how that happened, much like how you have no clue how the pegasus spontaneously combusted despite being approximately three feet from the fireplace. “Um… Stop, drop, and roll?” you call out helpfully to the shrieking Fluttershy. No response. … Well? Don’t just stand there! You quickly look around for anything to put the fire out, and notice that Fluttershy has a whole bunch of buckets lying around with various liquids. It seems she’s readily prepared to slam a bucket over someone's head on short notice. > Grab the bucket next to the sink. > Grab the bucket in the closet near the cleaning fluids. > Grab the bucket just lying by itself in the middle of the floor.
