Fluttershy is wondering why her friends have been acting oddly around her. Meanwhile, the rest of the Mane six are at a loss as to how to deal with her.

Some ponies are shy creatures, and try to get through life without getting noticed too much. Other ponies are massive, hulking brutes that make as much noise as possible.

After the gala, things return to normal quickly. Yet it seems like there are some things that need to be talked out.

At least, Discord feels that he should.

Short little thing that came to me after the 'Make New Friends But Keep Discord' episode.

Enjoy.

After a run in with a spell gone wrong that involved Twilight Sparkle, vampire fruit bats, a lot of staring, and then resulted in an unfortunate apple massacre, Fluttershy thought her life had returned to normal after Twilight successfully removed the spell’s effects.

That was until she started waking up in the middle of the night with the odd cravings for apples.

What started as just mild attacks of the midnight munchies soon became frequent late night excursions to the Apple family orchards, with only hazy memories and the lingering taste of apples left when Fluttershy awoke to find herself near or sometimes even in the branches of an apple tree.

Unless she can find a way to control the unwelcome urge to gorge herself on the ripe, red fruits, one of her best kept secrets is bound to be discovered.

Rarity is at her wits' end. Try as she might, she can't come up with an idea for her charity fundraiser. But Applejack can, and now she has to convince Rarity and Fluttershy to take part in the last thing either of them wants to do.

Fluttershy takes it upon herself to sew a plushie of the mare she holds closest to her: the sincere, understanding, tomboyish pony Applejack.

It's only logical that she should give the plush to her, right?

He felt regret and he felt ashamed.
He did not deserve forgiveness so easily.

What will his friend Fluttershy say to him about it?

After the events of "The Beginning of the End", Fluttershy looks for Discord to ask him a question about her being his favorite. Although, she's a bit timid about it.

Fluttershy and Discord have become very good friends lately.

Now if only she could convince him that she's not in his imagination...

Lotus is a professional masseuse. She sees the pony below the skin, and tends to coax just as much out of their mouths as their muscles. Late one day, she gives three very different massages to three close friends, all of whom mention a name she isn't familiar with: Applejack.
