CHAPTER 25
I went to open the door. I was surprised to see it was Big Mac.
"Hey, Mac. What's up?"
"Ah' need t' talk t' ya'." He sounded serious.
"Sure..."
We sat down.
"Ah' know Ya' want me an' t' be together, but... Ah' got a feelin' she likes YOU."
"Well of course she likes me, I'm her friend."
Big Mac facehoofed.
"No. I mean, she LIKES ya'."
"Wha- OH." Well... GREAT.
"Ah'm yer' friend, so I wanna help Ya'. We need t' think of a way t' get her to understand how ya' feel, and how Ah' feel."
"Hmmm... Maybe she isn't after ME." I had an idea.
"What d'ya mean?"
"I mean, she might be into DJ 1NS4N1TY, not me." I remembered how much of a fangirl she had been.
"Hmmm... That sounds like it could be it. Now how d' yah reckon we figger that out?"
"I will spend a day with her as plain old me, then a day with her as DJ 1NS4N1TY. I will note any behavioral changes." Good thing I liked studying psychology.
"Sounds good." He smiled. I did too. It felt good to be helping a friend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked up to Fluttershy's cottage, nervous as to how I would go about doing this. I mean, this was technically like asking her out on a date. I felt weird asking a member of another species out.
I knocked on her door, and she opened the door. She smiled when she saw it was me.
"Oh, hi Kyle. How are you?"
"I'm great, Shy. Hey... Do you wanna... Y'know... Hang out?"
She looked at me, confused, then looked away, drifting into thought. Then her face turned red as she realized what I was asking her. That made me feel VERY weird.
"Oh... M-my... Ummm... Y-y-yes!" She perked up, some of the red leaving her face. I put on a fake smile.
"So... Wanna go do something now?"
"Sure. I just finished feeding the animals. I'm free for the rest of the day... How about a picnic?"
"That sounds great."
She nodded, and ran inside. I heard some shuffling, and the sounds of cupboards opening and closing. She came back after a minute.
"I've got the basket ready. Let's go." She didn't seem as shy as she normally did. I guess it was the excitement of the situation.
"Alright. Onwards and upwards, allons-y!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went up to the hill where I had first met Luna. Fluttershy rolled out the blanket and set the picnic up. I have never felt this awkward in my LIFE.
She finished setting up, and we sat down, eating the sandwiches Shy made.
"Wow Shy, these are really good!" I used to think vegetarians were a little kooky, but now I see why they do it!
"Oh, thank you. I had those from yesterday. Angel helped me make them."
"Angel?"
"My pet rabbit."
"Oh, I saw some pictures of him in your cottage."
"Yes, he usually hides in his little house when strangers come by."
"Well I guess I have to be more than a stranger then."
I immediately noticed what I had said, and turned my head in embarrassment. Fluttershy's face color changed to a deep crimson.
"Oh... My... Well, I would... Like that."
"What?"
"Kyle, there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
Oh Goddesses, Big Mac was right.
"After that day you and I stayed together, I started having these... Feelings..."
I tried not to blush, but I couldn't help it. This was the first time a living creature had ever felt this way about me.
"I wondered what these feelings were..." Her face was getting redder by the second. "So I started reading through my novels..."
"Oh no..."
"Kyle..." What she said next nearly made me keel over.
Big Mac is going to KILL ME.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Fluttershy said... What she said... I made a mad dash for Sweet Apple Acres. I needed to tell Big Mac, and hope he had some mercy on me.
I ran up to the door and started banging on it.
Applejack opened the door, looking bewildered. "Kyle? What th' hay is up with you?"
"No time to explain. Where's Big Mac?"
"In his room."
"Thanks AJ." I looked around the rooms, and I saw Mac sitting on his bed. He frowned when he saw my expression.
"She likes ya', don't she?" He sounded both disappointed, and angry.
"Y-yeah..." I was still trying to gather my thoughts.
"Welp, I guess this was bound t' happen. It ain't yer' fault, Kyle. I'm not mad at ya'... I'm mad at mahself."
"Why?"
"Fer' not havin' the courage to fess up t' her sooner."
"Well, I need to find a way to make her stop feeling this way about me... FAST. I honestly don't want this kind of stuff in my life. I stopped believing in love a LONG time ago."
"Well, sorry. I can't help ya' with that. I dunno how t' stop a mares feelin's. yer' on yer' own."
Screw. My. Life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat in my house, conflicting emotions battling it out in my head.
"If you don't convince her to stop feeling this way, she will be all over you!"
"But, this could be your chance at a real relationship."
Ugh... I wish my mind would just shut up.
I went up to my recording studio, and started making some music to help me think. The music was slow, and angry. Much like how I felt.
"Grrrr... Why can't I think straight? I know Shy isn't the one I like... Or is she?" I really didn't know anymore.
"Maybe if I put how I felt in a song... She wouldn't be so crushed to hear it... Unless I want this to grow into something more..."
WHY ME!?!?
Then, I felt a rush of relief as I heard the familiar voice of a stallion.
"Kyle?"
"ZEPH. THANK THE GODDESSES YOU'RE HERE!" I was shouting as I turned off the music and ran down to him.
"Sheesh, what happened to you?" Oh. Right. He didn't know.
"You might wanna sit down. This is a shocking story." I'm still shocked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I explained everything to him. His expression didn't change, but I could tell he was worried.
"Sounds like you're in a tight spot."
"Yeah, no kidding. Any advice?" I needed all the help I could get.
"How about you do what I did to Dash? Act like you're obsessed with her. She might get annoyed and tell you she just wants to be friends."
I pondered this. This could work... "Zeph... You are a FREAKING GENIUS."
He smiled, and got up. "I'll leave you to that. I have to get out and practice."
"Practice?"
"Yeah. If romance doesn't get Dash, maybe joining the Wonderbolts will."
Oh boy.
"Good luck, Zeph. I got some creeping to do."
Goddesses help me.
I have this odd feeling its going to have the opposite reaction on Fluttershy.....

Oh really now? Well... You might be right. Or you might be wrong! You have to keep reading to find out...
*EVIL PLAN SUCCEEDING*
Mentally ill from famidy fail. Seriously, horse x human? I will vomit.
59107
Trust me, nothing will happen. I will make DAMN sure of that. This isn't going to turn into some clopfic. I just wanted to add some romantic humor is all.
stalker mode activated
Oh Dashie...
I.. I'm going to:
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
And now all of the commenters is RICKROLLED!
But seriously, plan B is in progress.
I'll have to second xxsuperduperxx's thoughts.
I'm half-hoping that the plan succeeds, just for more comedy.
But then Fluttershy would be upset.
I'm half-hoping that the plan fails, and Fluttershy continues to like Kyle.
But then Big Mac would kick Kyle's ass.
What to think...well, maybe we'll have an epic that solves everything!
57926 Also, what I meant here was that Kyle's experience with the poison joke felt like it went by too quickly. I can understand why coming into contact with the flower was inevitable, and it wasn't that that felt rushed. What felt rushed was the dream and waking up from it. It's all "I touched a blue flower", then "weird dream", then "wake up in Zecora's house", and then "I leave perfectly okay and happy and sunshine and puppies" in, like, ten seconds flat. I just meant that the dream could've been extended, or it could've had some lasting effect, or even taken longer to heal from. But like I said, the chapter was great otherwise.
59152
Oh, I get it. Sorry, I was just having a hard time thinking of anything. at least it wasn't any worse, eh?
I love this so much! No shit Sherlock, one of my fav HiE fics!
59107 pony. not a horse. verry srs differince.
I feel like to lazy to make an account is many different people
This plan will go horribly wrong, thanks a freaking lot Zepyhr.
Hmm what would I do???
I don't want to marry a Pony
But on the other hand fluttershy is too cute to say no to.
WHAT TO DO????
62144
Those darn conflicting emotions, eh?
59092That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. And
62180If it comes to it, you could always turn Kyle into a pony, then he could be with Best Pony (which we all know to be Fluttershy.) Although, this story is going very well with Kyle as a human, so then again maybe it would be best in this case to leave Kyle as a human. It's really up to you.
59092 I do to I think when fluttershy finds out who is doing that she will probily be very happy and not pissed like dash was
59106
screw evil plans, I have the ability to create alternate realitites. Your evil plan shall or shall not happen. Now beg for mercy under my wrath!
Okay, I'm done

Avtually, does a rick-roll count if you actually don't mind being rick-rolled?
"Ah' know Ya' want me an' t' be together, but... Ah' got a feelin' she likes YOU."
-Fluttershy
i usually don't comment til the end of a story but
LOL!!!!!!!!
"Good luck, Zeph. I got some creeping to do."
ROTFLMAO
I am laughing so hard in the middle of the chapter I started dancing to numa numa I love my life
Hmm... Ya know I wouldn't have much of a problem marrying a pony, so long as she's sentient of course. It'd take some getting used to, but it could work. Although now that I think about it (weirdness alert) the sex would be a bit weird. I don't think I could settle for a sexless marriage. Then again I'm weird, so maybe my own weirdness would cancel out the weirdness of the sex. Anyway nice story bro. I like how you refrain from swearing and keep the vulgarity to a minimum of non-existent, yet at the same time I don't because I find that kind of thing funny. So many conflicting feelings here.
Fluttershy is more of a romantic than Dash, so it probably will have the complete opposite effect.
but then big mac will kick his ass.
but what if a mysterious mare loves big mac?
and he develops feelings for her instead?
Damn why is this story rated everone
It exists very few good HiE Romances with fluttershy, And with the everone rating We all know that the romance is aint gonna go deep
o__O
I was listening to that song and on 1:12 was when I got to when Kyle realized Fluttershy liked him and ran off to Big Mac, right when the music died down then restarted. It was beyond perfect.
Oh jeez. What an awkward position to be in.
You mean the 69 position?
