> Fluttershy has a problem > by Forever brony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Fluttershy`s dream > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It`s a beautiful day in Equestria the skies are clear the sun is shining and Fluttershy is ready to do her choirs. She takes a quick look at her calendar to see how many days are left until the day she turns 18. She was excited because she was finally ageing but sad because she has never told her friends her birthday afraid of what her mind thinks of it as "In the spotlight". She never liked being in the spotlight it always made her nervous. Soon after she checked she went down stairs "First things first." she thought to herself as she started fixing the days most important meal of the day up for her and her little rabbit Angel. "Angel, oh Angel bunny!" she called out to him waking him from his dream. "Oh Angel bunny your up!" she hugs him tight with a big smile on her face. It was only a matter of time before he remembered her birthday which was the only thing keeping him from struggling. She lets go to continue preparing his breakfast. Even with her birthday approaching being the sweet pony she is makes his breakfast first. Angel smiled because of the joy on his Fluttershy`s face. she gives him his food and makes her own humming a delightful tune the whole time "Iv never been so excited for my birthday even if its just you and I Angel." she tells him still smiling. She gets up cleans the plates and sets out too visit her friends. "Oh who should I see today?" she thinks out loud "Maybe my good friend Rainbow will be available?" She begins to walk looking around at the birds in the sky as she searches for her friend most likely doing tricks or moving clouds. She spots her and Rainbow Dash spots Fluttershy with a big smile on her face. She swoops down to greet her sun yellow friend. "Hey Shy what`s the smile for?" She asks. With her smile disappearing she replies "Oh um, nothing Rainbow." "Well whats up Shy?" Dash asks "Well Dash I was wondering If we could do something together today like go to the beach or maybe something you would like to do?" she agreed to go with her friend to the beach. "So Fluttershy what`s going on this week?" Rainbow Dash asks her friend. Fluttershy responds in a nervous tone "Oh um, nothing really rainbow I just woke up on the good side of the bed today." She says to her good friend. > Rainbow`s concern > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wow" Fluttershy exclaims as she opens her door and ever so gently lies down on her comfortable bed. She falls asleep thinking of the fun she had today with Rainbow Dash. "I'm worried about that Fluttershy." Rainbow Explained to Twilight with concern in her voice "She seemed very happy today but also very nervous." She tells her purple maned friend as they drink tea. " hmm, Maybe shes stressed and shes trying to hide it" said twilight "I don`t know being so shy shes hard to read, other then the shyness I mean." said Rainbow Dash "Wow rainbow Iv never seen you so worried before." twilight says with a raised brow. "Well I mean.." she pauses then mumbles "I care about her" still trying to be the cool non-mushy pony she is. "Awwww Rainbow" Twilight exclaims "How about we go to Fluttershy`s tomorrow and talk to her? maybe we could get something out of her that she is holding back?" she offers "Okay" Rainbow says thinking about her yellow friend. The next day the two concerned mares made their way to Fluttershy`s beautiful tree home. At the same time Fluttershy is waking up to another beautiful fall day she awakes to a knocking on her door. Its Rainbow and Twilight. "May we come in?" Twilight asks "Oh yes come on in girls." said Fluttershy happy she has visitors. "Actually Flutters we have something to ask." Twilight says with concern on her tongue. "Yes Twilight?" She says with a nervous tone wondering whats wrong. "Well Fluttershy are you depressed?" she asks scared of what reply she will receive. "OH MY TWILIGHT NO!" she gasps as she is taken with shock. "In fact i`m the complete opposite to tell you the truth." she says smiling greatly. "Then why have you been acting so strange lately?" Dash asks her friend in a concerned tone. "Well you see my birthday is on its way i just didn't want to bother anypony" she says hiding behind her mane. "Fluttershy your my friend why have you kept that a secret?" Twilight asks. "Well you see the spotlight is a scary place I would rather just spend a day with anyone I can then bother the people i care about so much." she says with tears in her eyes hoping her friends understand. "Oh Fluttershy don`t cry sweetie i`m going to go talk to Pinkie Pie about a party how about that?" asked Twilight hoping to cheer her friend up. "REALLY TWILIGHT!?" asks Fluttershy "Of course come on lets let her know!" said Twilight. "Oh Twilight, Rainbow your the best" she says to her friends happier then ever. Pinkie pie hears the news and started to bounce off of the walls in glee. Rarity then wanting to make her a dress for the occasion. > Shhh its a suprize > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack then hears the news and offers to help with the food situation. Twilight and Pinkie help with the decorations. As Rainbow takes Fluttershy around town they have a blast and Rainbow sees Fluttershy come out of her shell a bit she is happy its not everyday she is this funny.She was just adorably excited. Rainbow asks her "If we through a party for you how would you see it in you mind?" she asks curiously. "Well I don`t know Iv never had a birthday party before. My parents were always so busy when I was a filly so I just kept to myself." she said with a very lonely look on her face. "Aww Fluttershy cheer up listen lets not think about it okay?" Rainbow says to her friend trying to perk up her spirits. "O-okay Rainbow" she says putting a smile a smile back on her face. soon after Princess Celestia and Princess Luna both walk in. Everyone`s eyes grew large out of panic too greet them both formally. "Pr-Princess Celestia Princess Luna" what- started Twilight "Delightful surprise!" finishes Rarity. "Well we herd that our kind subject Fluttershy is having her first birthday party ever and well" Princess Celestia pauses "We thought we should give her something for all she has done for all the ponies in Equestria" Continued Luna holding a decent sized present on her back. "Oh wow is that for Fluttershy your highness?" Twilight asks. "Yes just something for her being so sweet to our animal friends and all." Luna replies. Just then three little fillies popped their head through the door "HI!" they shout. "Its the cutie mark crusaders!" Apple Bloom says. Scootaloo and Sweetie belle following her in. "Oh Princess Celestia Princess Luna" they shout overcome with surprise. "Everyone hide!" a loud whisper demands from Pinke overcome with joy. As Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash walk into the little tree hut Fluttershy is surprised to find everyone there. "SURPRISE" everyone yells. She jumps out of her cute yellow fur with a yelp "Oh my what is all this I didn't expect a party so soon." she says with sheer delight on her face. "Its all for you Flutters." Dash answers proudly. "WOW it looks wonderful" With a tear of joy running down her cheek. "Its all so wonderful" she says. they all have a great time and for the first time since the Grand Galloping Galla she yells "I LOVE YOU ALL" and partied til she passed out on an overdose of fun with the gift the princesses gave her around her neck.
