//------------------------------// // Fluttershy Will You Join Me? // Story: True Harmony // by ddstory25 //------------------------------// Twilight landed in the town at dusk; or was it sunset again? She couldn’t tell anymore, the day and night cycle was too chaotic right now, all thanks to Dark Blitz brainwashing Luna and Celestia. Twilight walked into the town and looked around, trying to find Fluttershy. She didn’t see her anywhere, but she did spot Double Diamond. She ran over and and grabbed him. “Double Diamond, have you seen Fluttershy? I need to know where she is!” Double Diamond looked at her in confusion. “Um... do I know you? I’ve never seen you here before, are you new to the village?” Twilight looked shocked. “Not to be rude, but you should.” She flared out her wings. “But that’s not important right now; where can I find Fluttershy? Please tell me - it’s important.” He looked at her intrigued for a moment; he’d never seen a winged unicorn before. “Well ok, Miss Fluttershy is probably at the schoolhouse, she teaches the fillies there about animals.” Twilight smiled, her tone became more excited, “Thanks!” She ran off, but came back shortly, looking rather sheepish. “Which building is the schoolhouse?” Double Diamond rolled his eyes. “Follow me.” He said in an annoyed tone. Twilight did so and they approached a building in no time at all. Surprisingly it was Starlight’s old house; they made it into a schoolhouse. Twilight went into the building and saw a class going on, with Fluttershy upfront working as the teacher. She trotted up to Fluttershy, calling out to her. “Fluttershy, there you are, I was so worried. Now let's go, we have to get our friends back and save Equestria.” Fluttershy looked around, blinking.Before she could say anything a little filly piped up, “Who’s that Miss Fluttershy?” Fluttershy didn’t want to give an answer to them. Instead she used her calmest and sweetest tone, “Ok class, it’s play time. Go on outside to the playground Mr. Double Diamond will join you for me. Right Diamond.” Diamond blushed a little. “Oh of course Miss Shy.” The fillies ran out, and Twilight watched as they did. But then she turned her attention back to Fluttershy. “You're a teacher? I can’t believe it. We both know you hate attention. But that’s not the point I need you to help me---” Fluttershy cut off Twilight and said a little annoyed “Miss, I don’t know you personally, nor do I have to help you... but do you really need somepony like me to help you.” Twilight looked at her shocked. “What do you mean you don’t know me? We're friends. Don’t you remember Spike or Rarity, even Angel Bunny? We’ve been on adventures together and stopped monsters. You even helped tame the God of Chaos, Discord; you have to remember that. And of course I need your help you're a very important pony to me - you are the Element of Kindness.” Fluttershy looked a little flustered. “Me? No you must be mistaken, I’m a simple teacher. I don’t go adventuring, and as for the draconequus, Discord - I’ve never ever met that creature before. I’ve only seen the statue that’s at the palace’s garden. Well, was at the gardens, and is now a living creature again that Princess Twilight Sparkle befriended and tamed.” Twilight looked dumbfounded, but she quickly recovered. “Me, befriend Discord?! No that was you… oh I know, I’ll show you with a memory spell that’ll break the mind control cast on you.” So Twilight walked over to Fluttershy, who was slowly backing away from her, but it was to late - Twilight was already upon her and had her horn on her head. The spell Twilight cast showed Fluttershy her friendship with Twilight, and the other element bearers. Fluttershy teared up, but when Twilight had finished casting the spell Fluttershy dried up. “That was sad and interesting to see, but I still don’t know any of those ponies.” Twilight was dumbfounded by that, and totally stumped.She didn’t know what to do now. Under the Tree of Harmony, Dark Blitz was laughing as she watched Twilight in the mirror pond she created “Oh Twilight, my spell is very powerful; something like that won’t break it… but you already know that don’t you.” Dark Blitz looked back up at the Tree of Harmony and let out a little laugh, smiling to herself. Twilight looked at Fluttershy and started to cry. “You really don’t know me?” She sobbed. Fluttershy looked down. Her tone low. “I’m sorry. I know that you're a princess, since you're an alicorn, but I have never met you before. But I will join you. If one of the princesses needs me, how can I say no.” Twilight sniffled, but her tone was happier. “You will? Oh thank you Fluttershy. We’ll get your memory back to normal, I pinkie promise. But right now we need to go get the others, and Applejack is next. So we’re going to be headed west to Appleloosa.” They walked out of the schoolhouse side by side and before they could even start out to Appleloosa, Fluttershy’s class ran over to them. “Miss. Fluttershy are you done talking to that pony!?” Another yelled “Can we start class now!?” Then a little filly with a bright pink coat and orange and blue mane said “Yeah I want to hear more about the breezies.” Fluttershy looked at them, a sad look on her face. “I’m sorry little ones, but Princess Twilight here needs me, so I can’t teach for a while.” She received a chorus of aww’s. “Don’t worry though, you guys are really good students, so you’ll be ok without me for a while right?” They all looked around at each other with sad faces but they looked up at her and smiled and yelled out, “GO MISS. FLUTTERSHY GO! WE’LL CHEER YOU ON AS YOU HELP THE PRINCESS!” Fluttershy teared up, and they had one big group hug as Twilight watched. She felt a bit bad for taking Fluttershy with her, but it had to be done in order to beat Dark Blitz. So they departed from the village flying in the direction to Appleloosa, hoping to find Applejack. About halfway there Fluttershy asked, “So who is Applejack anyway, Princess Twilight, Is she a friend of yours?” Twilight nodded. “Applejack is our friend Fluttershy, and she's a great one at that. She's helpful, honest and always willing to help out when she can.” Fluttershy looked down. “So when did you meet her, and when do you think you met me?” Twilight looked back at her with an annoyed look. “I met her and you the first day I moved to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration, the one that saw Luna’s return.” Fluttershy looked down and felt something deep inside her, almost like she knew that, but she didn’t know that. Just mentioning the Summer Sun Celebration made her feel so happy, but she didn’t know why. When she finally spoke back to Twilight she said “Can you tell me more about me and you being friends? I mean your spell was awful and didn’t really work. But I can still see everything you showed me. But seeing it just hurts, yet when you talked about it…. it feels like I know what you are talking about, Princess.” Twilight smiled and giggled a bit. “Sure thing Fluttershy, and please, to you it’s just Twilight.” Fluttershy smiled and said “Ok um princ- I mean Twilight.” They chatted the rest of the way to Appleloosa while the day and night keep on looping through.They flew through strange rain and past strange flying animals. Twilight did most of the talking, telling Fluttershy about her life and the friends they had
