> Flutterdash: The Beginning > by Wren_Fest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: Move In Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I could hardly believe my eyes. I was finally in Ponyville! I had been living in Cloudsdale for most of my life. I've spent some time in Manehatten, and a little in Las Pegasus. Whenever I travelled, I always felt like something was missing. Anytime I did anything, there was always something missing. Suddenly, a pink, curly haired girl bounced her way in front of me. "Hi there!" She said. "I'm Pinkie Pie!" "Hi, I'm Fluttershy. Nice to meet you." I said, giving her a shy smile. She bounced back in front of me. "I have to give you the Pinkie Pie Welcome!" she said. She burst into song and dance. After she had sung to her hearts content, she bounced away, all the while saying "I am setting up your welcoming party for tomorrow night at the library. Be ready to PARTY!" After she left, I started walking to the home I was going to stay at while in Ponyville. I walked past a restaurant, feeling my stomach growl. I walked in the restaurant, and the waitress came to the desk. She had multi-colored hair, and her skirt was detailed with a cloud and rainbow lightning bolt. "Hi my name is Rainbow Dash, I will be your server tonight." She said. Rainbow Dash was in college with me but apparently she didn't recognize me. I hoped she'd remember our friendship and how we had been so close. Maybe she'd remember me later and try to find me. As soon as I came out of my daydream, Rainbow Dash had been standing there for 5 minutes with me sitting there, looking into her eyes. By this point I think she's a little creeped out. "Um, ma'am? What would you like to eat?" She said with concern. "Oh, I would like a dandelion and poppy sandwich." I said with embarrassment. After I ate, I went back to walking to my house. A purple-pink haired girl bumped into while reading a book. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!" She said. "It's ok, it's not your fault." I said shyly, hiding behind my light-pink bangs. The girl said "My name is Twilight Sparkle, what's yours?" I shyly replied in a tiny voice "I'm Fluttershy." "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that?" She said. "I'm Fluttershy." I said a little softer. "I'm sorry I still cant hear you." Said Twilight Sparkle. I finally squeaked out the words loud enough for her to hear me. After talking to Twilight Sparkle, I really wanted to get home. I tried to run the entire way home, but I got tired halfway there. When I did reach home, it was beautiful. The house was carved into a hill, and there was a stream with a bridge over it. A little fawn was nestled atop the hill, staring at me with beady eyes. I got inside, tired and thirsty. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a glass from cabinet above the stove. I got a little water from the fridge and I walked back into the living room and sat down. There was a painting of a butterfly atop a rose. I started to doze off on the couch. I decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some rest, so I laid down on the couch and let my eyes close and dreams to pop into my head. > Chapter One: > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I awoke to the sounds of chirping birds and the shining sun in my eyes. I got up and got dressed in a yellow turtleneck sweater and a yellow skirt with three butterflies embroidered on it. Though I was hungry, I didn't want to eat. I was ready to look around the town, and figure out where the library is. That Pinkie Pie girl said that she was setting up a party at the library, so where was the library? I stopped to ask a purple haired girl where it was. "Oh, darling it is just down the way and a left from there. Oh my! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Rarity. I am Ponyville's fashion designer. So, darling, what ever is your name?" She said. "Oh, my name is Fluttershy." I barely squeaked those words out of my mouth. "Oh, well Miss Fluttershy, it's very nice to meet you. Oh, I know we haven't said much, but I think we will be the best of friends." she said. "See you at Pinkie's party." She said again, walking away. As I walked to the library, it started to rain. Finally, I got to the library, opening the door, and was surprised by the sound of music suddenly blaring in my ears. "HI FLUTTERSHY!" Pinkie Pie said. "Oh, hi Pinkie..." I said as I walked over to a table covered in sweets, and grabbed a cookie. Nibbling on it, I heard a little voice say, "Hi, there! My name is Spike!" I squeaked. When I finally calmed back down, I turned to see a little, baby dragon right before my eyes. I squeaked again. "Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to scare you there." said Spike. Twilight Sparkle walked up to me and said, "Well, I see you've met my assistant, Spike. I hope the party is to your liking." I smiled. "Yes, the party is wonderful. I love the decorations and the food is delicious!" Reaching for another cookie I saw her. The beautiful Rainbow Dash was standing right in front of me yet again. I just hope I don't make a fool of myself again, I thought. "Hey, I remember you now! We were in college together. Fluttershy, right? Oh, we had so many memories! I can't believe I didn't recognize you sooner." She said. "It's is no problem. None at all." I said. "Is it ok with you if I still called you Dashie?" "Oh, Sure!" Rainbow said. I thought of the times that Dashie and I had sat together at the tables, laughing about anything... anything really.
