19: BLUtiful Disaster part 3, Party Party Party!
Hearing the alert to indicate that the battle was over, RED team happily carried their little Fluttershy back into the fortress. There was a bit of an argument over who would get to carry her, but Fluttershy settled it by clambering onto Heavy's shoulder, as she was fond of high places. Once Medic healed everyone up, they went eagerly to the intelligence chamber, though Demoman took a detour to pick up two large barrels which he carried in with him. Soldier and Engineer also stopped to grab numerous chairs, while Pyro grabbed a ball and Heavy's pet bird, the Red Army Robin.
Back in the intelligence chamber, Scout came around to stand behind the briefcase as Soldier and Engineer set up the ten chairs they brought. "Looks like we have more to celebrate than we thought," Scout commented jokingly.
"Celebrate?" Fluttershy asked curiously, tilting her head as she glanced around at everyone's grinning faces.
Scout nodded. "Told you I had a surprise for you, remember?" When Fluttershy nodded, he continued. "Well, it's actually all of us who have a surprise for you. I just brought this." He tapped the suitcase. "Thing is, we've been raising you for three years now, and it's changed us all quite a bit. For the better, anyway." He glanced around the table.
Heavy had certainly changed the least. About the only major difference between before Fluttershy and now was he had become more gentle with his teammates, controlling his temper a bit better around them. It wasn't actually a noticeable change over time, only if taken now and then. Having played parent in his past, this was just the latest time.
Scout himself had probably the most noticeable change, having grown a bit. The responsibility of caring for a young filly had impressed itself upon him, and there was a new gravity to his expression and behavior. He seemed to know what he was doing a bit more, and took his responsibilities and role in the team more seriously.
Medic hadn't changed all that much. He took just as much sadistic pleasure in his job, healing the team and tinkering with their insides. That is, unless Fluttershy was in the room with him. Then he went...the only word for it was 'gooey'. He went completely soft, playing with her, his voice gentle as he eagerly looked into her every activity, bandaging her scrapes and even - ignoring all sanitary regulations as per his usual nature - kissing them to make them better. The jarring dichotomy of when he'd go straight from that gentleness to laughing as he sawed bone was more disconcerting than Pyro had ever been.
Soldier's change was easily the most dramatic. Ever since that first day Fluttershy had called him 'Daddy Sir', he had begun to open up. He talked to the other members of the team, listened to what they had to say, and took those things into account. He was still as gruff as he had ever been and bellowed his orders as firmly as ever, but the air as he did so was different. He showed concern for his teammates. He'd even once arranged a "Pet Playdate" where everyone brought their pets to have fun together on a Family Day. Admittedly, he hadn't taken it well when Chompy had tried to eat Lt. Bites, although it had turned out to be a dominance struggle that Bites had won...for now.
Spy's only noticeable change had been a slight decrease in his snark towards his teammates, and even there that was only in front of Fluttershy. Scout had actually overheard Spy confessing to Fluttershy that he only did that because he felt it was a needed goad to keep the team on their toes. "Better a pointed jab from my wits than a stab in the back from my counterpart," he had explained. Scout, much to his own amazement, hadn't said a word about what he'd heard.
Engineer's only noticeable change was that he was banging his head on the walls a lot more often. Sniper also hadn't changed much, having been rather mellow to begin with, only becoming quite protective of Fluttershy.
Demoman and Pyro had changed the most. After forcing himself to dry out completely, he had started drinking again before battle, but in much more controlled amounts. He had discovered self control, and was exerting it. He remained much the same individual as before, but his sense of responsibility for the little filly helped him keep himself in check. Pyro, on the other hand, seemed much happier with his life now...although it was hard to tell, given it was Pyro.
Turning back from his musings, Scout smiled at Fluttershy. "You made us a real family, Fluttershy, and that's part of what we're celebrating. That, and now that we're pretty sure how old you are..." He unsnapped the suitcase. It unfolded and opened out to a flat surface.
A red velvet sheet cake with white, cream cheese icing sat there. On the top was an image in icing of Fluttershy, a yellow winged-pony shape with pink icing for mane and tail, and red icing spelled out, "Happy 5th Birthday, Fluttershy!"
As Fluttershy gasped, Red Army Robin hopped to Soldier's shoulder as he fired the ball from his rocket launcher. The ball ricocheted rapidly around the room, releasing balloons, streamers, and confetti with every impact until the entire room was covered in party decorations. For some reason, Engineer made another head shaped dent in the wall.
Fluttershy gasped happily as the whole team began singing.
"Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Fluttershy
Happy Birthday to you!"
Smiling, Soldier put down ten candles. "For your impressive kill streak for your first battle," he said, lighting the candles.
"I am surprised you so easily told us apart from our counterparts," Spy mentioned, "seeing as we are all but identical."
"No you're not," Fluttershy countered. "They were blue. You're all red."
Engineer chuckled. "That's just our uniform," he said, tugging at his red shirt. "Shows we're all on the same team, see? Like a family."
Fluttershy looked down at herself. "But...I'm not red, I'm yellow. Does that mean I'm not..." Her voice trailed off as her eyes began to water.
"Huddle!" Scout shouted out, and the entire team gathered.
Inside the circle, there was the sound of tearing cloth, several muffled arguments, a comment from Engineer about a "nanotech fiber", and comments about needles. Soon after, Spy turned to Fluttershy. "Close your eyes," he said softly.
Obligingly, she closed her eyes. She felt Spy picking her up and slipping something over her head. "Forelegs," he instructed, and she lifted her forelegs, slipping them through holes in something. She felt fabric settling around her wings comfortably as something that fit like a glove pressed against her barrel. She unfolded and folded her wings, noticing nothing was in the way. Spy then set her down. "You can open your eyes now."
She did so. The first thing she noticed was that everyone but Spy and Pyro had portions of their red uniforms torn off. The second thing she noticed was her reflection in the mirror Engineer was holding. She was wearing a snug fitting red sleeveless uniform shirt that stopped just before her hindquarters.
"There you go," Engineer said with a grin. "Now you're RED, too."
Fluttershy grinned widely. "I love you Daddies! I love you Mama! I love you Big Brother!" She leaped forward to try and hug them all.
Everyone happily returned the embrace. After a time, Heavy spoke up. "Fluttershy...where you learn word 'bitch'?"
"What?" Soldier demanded.
"When she shout down BLUs, she yell about bitch's orders."
Fluttershy smiled widely. "From Big Brother!" she said happily.
Glowering, Engineer pulled out a jar. Soldier labeled it 'Swear Jar', and held it out to Scout.
"You gotta be shitting me!" Scout complained.
"Now it's two, maggot!" Soldier barked. Sighing, Scout dropped some money into the jar.
"What will we use the money for?" Sniper asked.
Soldier shrugged. "Buying presents for Fluttershy, probably."
"Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits," Demoman quickly said, dumping a huge handful of cash into the jar, only to get smacked on the back of the head while Engineer facepalmed.
"What do those words mean?" Fluttershy asked curiously.
"Never mind," Soldier growled. "But blow out the candles before the wax melts onto the cake."
"But remember to make a wish!" Spy points out.
Fluttershy tilts her head. "Wish?" she asked.
"Make a wish in your mind, then blow out the candles," Scout explained. "If you blow them all out in one breath, it'll come true, as long as you don't tell anyone."
Fluttershy nodded, then turned to the candles. She closed her eyes. I wish my family can be together forever, she thought silently before blowing.
The candles all went out easily with her breath.
As everyone applauded, she smiled and clapped her hooves. As Medic began to serve the cake, Demoman broached the two casks. "I think this is a special occasion, and calls for a toast." He handed out mugs of applejack to each of the mercs, and a mug of apple cider to Fluttershy. "To Fluttershy, and the family she made of us!"
"To Fluttershy!" Heavy said happily.
"To Family!" Soldier agreed.
"Cheers!" they all said together, clinking their glasses together.
Hours later, the party had become more relaxed. Fluttershy, after her initial sugar rush that led to Heavy tossing all weapons out of the room and sealing the door, had suffered the expected crash and was now snoozing away, snoring cutely as she wriggled on her back. Everyone had enjoyed their cake, and tossed the rest to Chompy, who had grown from the size of a softball to the size of a beach ball. All the mercs had drank deep of the applejack, and were a little woozy and drunk.
Soldier was the one to break the happy silence. "Futter...Futashy...Fluttershy was amazing out there, wasn't she?"
"Yup," Engineer confirmed. "Course, she didn't have any idea what she was doing."
"She got a 10-man kill streak her first battle," Scout pointed out. "Who cares if she knew what she was doing?"
"Only..." Spy began, gathering his thoughts. Everyone went silent, waiting for him to speak. "If she's that good when she's a complete novice..."
Sniper caught the thought. "What would she be like with proper training?"
Everyone turned that thought over in their minds, the idea of Fluttershy out there, knowing what she was doing, with weapons made for her, studying under their tutelage.
"Dibs!" they all said simultaneously before 8 of them lost consciousness.
Demoman chuckled. "Fuckin' lightweights," he said, dumping another handful of cash into the swear jar.

My only reaction is SQUEEE!!!!!
No one out drinks Demoman!
AWWWW Fuck yeah! Fluttershy is now the official tenth class of Team Fortress 2! You hear that, Valve? Get on it!
Futashy...
Oh god... Great chapter though bunch of heart attacks, I don't really think that I can't feel my pulse anymore
Oh demoman
YOUR ASS IS GRASS AND The grass is ass and --*hurk, buurp*
Hehe, I'm drunk...
aLL THE CUSSING IN THESE COMMENTS, PAY UP BITCHES! *passes around jar*
ps, sorry for caps lock, id change it, but im to fuckin lazy *puts money in jar*
Fluttershy would definitely make for the most adorable killing machine since Kirby.
The mental image...Too damn funny
QUESTION: Will you do a sequel where Fluttershy returns to Ponyville, having all the skills of the RED Team! YES OR NO?!
4743089
In a manner of speaking, yes.
4743116
Thanks for answering! Now we await! Also, how about resuming The Flower Blooms Twice?!
haha he is going nuts
eyup he fucking losing it XD
so cute ^_^
IT'S ON! IT'S ON LIKE *snore* huh wha?
4743101 *Elder Swears twice, then quotes Demoman about his manky eye and how he's a (ERROR: SWEARING DETECTED)* cause Shrek is drek! (bows to loud applause, before tossing one million potato into the swear jar) Beat that. Wait, you can't. Nothing beats potato.
Fucking Lighweights
This makes me wonder how her cutie mark is going to be different when she gets of age. For that matter, what would the cutie mark of some pony trained in all 9 different TF2 classes even look like anyway?
Break out the AppleJack Daniels!

4743188 *starts cussing in cat, wizard, and fox tv*
*throws in catnip, chocolate frogs, and donuts*
A nice scene of seeing them all wanting to train Fluttershy in the way of the Nine Mercs. Be warn what I am about to say is swearing all the way. Falso di ma cka foa owe mada lasdjf fhas hower dieal Falso di ma cka foa owe mada lasdjf fhas hower dieal Falso di ma cka foa owe mada lasdjf fhas hower dieal Falso di ma cka foa owe mada lasdjf fhas hower dieal Falso di ma cka foa owe mada lasdjf fhas hower dieal.
I swear for you Fluttershy, also would it be possible to see a pic of Fluttershy new clothings?
(puts cash in the jar.) Please?
PARTY CANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
........wut?
You've.....never.......YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED TF2?!?!? AND YOU CAN WRITE THEIR CHARACTERS SO CLOSE TO CANNON?!?!?
OK (1 go get tf2, it's free, there is no reason to not at least try it and (2 can I borrow your crystal ball sometime?
4743226 …
…
…
God damnit. Wait a second…
*starts swearing in the Sangheili language, Kig-Yar, Russian, and fish.*
(Throws an exponentially growing infinite stack of platinum coins in, shattering the jar)
My reaction when my friends pass out when we light up or drink together. Never passed out yet, don't know how I do it, i just do.
4742217 ... I forgot to link my rant-ish comment...
There's a good use for all that swearing, and Engi is surprisingly the ONLY merc that doesn't seem to like Flutters' presence. On that note, what would her cutie mark be like when she returns, considering how she's been raised by the TF2 mercs?
4743278 *talks about everything seen on Ifunny, stuff from anime, swears in dog and bear*
*throws in an iPod, a katana that summons fire, a puppy, kitten, and a bear cub on the top of the jar*
4743304 I think iit's draw.
(I won, you have no idea how many Sangheli swears there are.)
Well, Fluttershy's cutie mark may still be three butterfly.,...knives. :)
Of course, I'm now wondering when Fluttershy finds out about Dadengi's knowledge of her origins... to say nothing of the others finding out.
Meanwhile at the BLU Base
BLU Soldier: I just don't know what went wrong...
BLU Scout: That little pony killed all of us in ten seconds flat...
BLU Demoman: THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
BLU Sniper: IT WAS AWFUL!
BLU Medic: A DISASTER! A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DISASTER!
BLU Spy: Of all the worst things that could happen. This is... The. Worst. Possible. Thing.
BLU Heavy: Beware.. Beware you BLU folk. That little pony is not a joke.
*BLU Pyro sits in a corner alternating between laughing and crying* (laughing because he found a creature of Rainbow Land. And crying because he was murdered by said creature.)
*BLU Engineer starts banging his head against the wall*
4743272
Just read the comic books. Doesn't require you to play TF2.
4743300 Eh, nope. He likes her presence but i guess he is banging his head to try and find a way to send Fluttershy home...and have second thought about wanting to send her home...
4743444
He bangs his head every time someone makes an unintentional reference.
4743459 Ok, then. But, my reason is awsome.
You know I would love to see the mane six's reaction if fluttershy becomes a merc please let fluttershy become a merc.
If you don't make a sequel I will give you a stern look good sir
Lost it on two parts.
4743531 oh my god yes yes yes yes yes
<insert squee here>
This is too funny and I am too tired to think of a clever comment to say ( it is 2am where I am).
4743317 yes a draw
(And you have no idea how much I read)
Nanotech fiber is also part of team--after all, it can be healed with the Medigun.
So I take it they have studied her DNA in order to find out for sure how old she is now? To the clone machine!
Can you imagine Flutterbot--the Machine version?
Dear Lord.
4743724
Nope. They called up a naturalist and asked how old ponies have to be to be independent of their parents, then called up a pediatrician and asked the same question about human kids, then took the average and guessed. They just happened to guess exactly right, through the laws of contrived plot devices which also let them guess her name exactly and causing them to make all those unwitting references that make Engineer head-bang.
*quotes swearing from CoD multiplayer games and 4chan and teleports them for 3 days and doing nothing else*
*the amount of money in swear jar creates hole in space and time*
4743804
Wow. That is well thought out.
Still expecting MechaFlutters though.
All hail the laws of contrived plot devices which also let them guess her name exactly and causing them to make all those unwitting references that make Engineer head-bang.
So this was supposed to happen!
A party, oh, heheh!
Also... Futashy? Duuuuuuuuuuuude, you really just....
...
Aaaanyway, I approve the idea of describing changes in our favorite mercs, and now we also know the probable age of Flutters, five years, which means that she is still younger than she was when she got her cutie mark.
Hm. I wonder, what will be her cm anyway? I don't think that around these nine mercs she would get three butterflies...
But insread a rocket, a sticky bomb and a knife, yeeeeees!
Well, good chapter, I'm waiting for the next.
Go on! :)
-Zeph
4743317 oh please, I've done nothing but teleport assnick for 3 days after poking him with a stick! Oh and I tied him to the angry video game nerd.
(Places one medic in the jar)
Wait for it.....
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MOOOONEYZZZ!!!!!!
Demoman was epic to the infinite power in this chapter.
4743859
My bet is on either butterfly knives, exploding hearts ((as she regularly send even her readers to cardio)), or a class logo such as all the mercs wear.
That...or something beautiful like a birthday candle, or a RED logo which shows how being with her family brought her purpose.
I swear if you give fluttershy an awesome uniform and weapons you shall have more fan art. :D
Just please be specific when writing it. XP
4743951
Alright. When the time comes, I'll be very specific.
