A nice change of pace

Twilight woke up in bed and looked at her friends, she knew the situation was almost over.

But in a way it's given her a new perspective on her friends, feeling like them, being like them, helping them get their jobs done.

It felt nice and so she decided to wake them up… maybe after they had enough sleep.

“Oh what’s this?... I seem to be thinking about their needs more seriously then usual… I think I know who I’m becoming,” Twilight didn’t try to fight it and let the transformation take her over, and when the glow faded she looked like a Twilight version of Fluttershy.

“I-I should go, perhaps breakfast?” Twilight said as she hovered over them quietly and she left the room.

After sleeping for another hour the group woke and looked at each other and smiled.

“W-well, nothing is wrong with being Fluttershy for a day,” Rainbow said shyly.

“Indeed, let’s go and grab breakfast, if you all want to that is,” Rarity suggested.

The others nodded and they trotted downstairs and found Twilight was way ahead of them.

“Hello, dears, I was hoping to make you all some food, I-I hope you like it,” Twilight softly said.

“We appreciate it dear,” Pinkie said and they all made their way to the table.

Twilight had made plates of pancakes, and she even used the special seasoning Fluttershy uses for her pancakes.

“Mmm! Tasty,” Fluttershy complimented.

“Indeed,” Rarity said.

“I want some blueberries if ya don’t mind,” Applejack said politely.

“Here you are,” Fluttershy hoofed it to her.

“After this, we should make our way to the cottage, Angel will probably get cranky without his morning salad,” Rainbow said.

“Mhm,” Pinkie said.


After breakfast the Shy’s trotted through town, the ponies having gotten used to their personality shifts.

Fluttershy led the charge to her cottage, getting there they saw the poor state the cottage was in, Fluttershy being absent for several days will do that…

“Well girls, let’s do this,” Fluttershy said excited to have some help for once.

Instead of cheering they silently raised their hooves in approval.

Instantly they got to work, Applejack mowed the lawn, making extra sure to avoid the daisies and small animals that could get hurt by the mower.

“Whoo, careful dears!” AJ said alerting a few voles of her approach with the mower and they got out of the way.

“Look out! I have rain!” Rainbow called to her fellow Shy’s and she brought a cloud over and made it rain on the plants to water them.

“Haha! Fluttershy chuckled watching Pinkie simultaneously herding the chickens, rabbits, and mice all while riding Harry.

“Come along darlings, we all need our daily exercise,” Pinkie said.

Twilight was using her magic to rebuild several birdhouses at the same time and Rarity was fashioning nests for a snake.

“It feels nice to have help,” Fluttershy said with a smile.


The mane six were then helping Fluttershy repaint her house and clean up her interior.

Dusting, sweeping, mopping, washing dishes and helping more inside animals with their needs.

“I need a hoof, if anyone can,” Fluttershy said.

“Ah got ya,” Applejack helped her lift the couch so she can get to it with her duster.

“Thank you,” Fluttershy said.


Angel looked pleased as he saw Fluttershy and her five copies fixing him up a salad.

But when they brought it to him he saw it was missing a cherry… again…

He kicked Fluttershy out.

As he walked back dusting off his paws he bumped into an orange leg and looked up at a sight that nearly made him piddle himself.

Five sets of eyes giving him the stare.

“That wasn’t nice,” RD said.

“Please go retrieve her,” Twilight said.

“Or no dessert,” Rarity said.

Angel stepped outside and retrieved Fluttershy from between a fence post and deposited her beside them.

And the stare times five ended.

“Thank you, girls, I never get the chance to discipline him,” Fluttershy said.

“No problem Shy,” Twilight said.


At night time the group sat around a campfire and told each other cute stories about their pets while braiding each other's manes.

“I remember Gummy, that one time he wouldn’t stop staring at me until he got his belly rubs,” Pinkie chuckled.

“Or that time Winoa chased a thrown ball into a haypile,” AJ giggled.

"I got one, Owlicious was sleep flying and thought Spike was a snack," Twilight giggled.

“Oh pets, we love them!” They all squeed and laughed.


As they made their way to bed, Fluttershy broke the news to Twilight.

“There’s only one more day to this, right?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yes, I believe it is my turn, I look forward to it, n-not that today wasn’t fun,” Twilight said.

“I appreciate all the help, all the animals and chores are taken care of for once,” Fluttershy giggled.

After that, they all drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

One more...right?
