You never did anything bad to them, you just wanted to play with them >But they keep calling you Klutzershy and other nasty stuff, but why? >You don’t care, Mommy told you to go outside, but you hate it, it only makes you cry and feel bad >The tears just keep running >Until you feel a hand patting your back. You quickly turn around, startled >“There you are!” a boy slightly bigger than you is smiling >Despite his cheerful smile, you cannot contain the tears, you broke again and hide your face in your knees >”Hey! What’s wrong?” The boy kneeled to your lever, still patting your back “Did those kids picked on you?” >You weakly nod “Then I’ll be your knight!” with that statement, you slowly turn your head and watch the boy who just took the job as your personal knight, like in those fairy tales you loved so much “I’ll do it, so you will not cry again!” >He offers you a hand, still with that infectious smile >”You can count on me Shy…” that last part echoes through your head >”…Shy” It sounds louder, making you feels safe >”…Shy!” That’s weird, it keeps getting louder everytime You hear it >”Fluttershy!” >”FLUTTERSHY!” >You snap back at the voice yelling your name >You’re Flutteshy, at the Canterlot High Cafeteria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxrQfSsRYsA >”Sugarcube, are y’all right?” Your friend Applejack ask, with an obvious look of concern >”Yeah, is not like you to be this distant darling” Rarity finishes “We were getting worried” “O-oh, im sorry girls” You quickly apologize, you never meant to worry your friends but being lost in your memories caught them off guard >You stay in silence after that, hoping whatever the girls were talking resumed, eating slowly your salad >… >The silence is still here, while all your friends are looking at you, as you slowly shrink on your seat >”So?” Inquired Sunset Shimmer “So?” You repeat quietly >”What were you wandering about, Flutters?” Rainbow Dash interrupted “N-nothing” >”Really? Because that’s too much for remembering nothing” Twilight Sparkle noted “I-is fine girls” you quickly move your hands “I was just remembering something while I was a kid” >”Oh my, Fluttershy” Pinkie Pie squee’d “Was it about a boy?” “WH-WH-WHAT?!” You quickly jump from your seat >”That reaction just confirms it, sugarcube” AJ chuckles “So who’s this fella?” >Everyone is looking at you again “J-just s-someone who helped me… before I met Dash” You replied lowering your voice >The whole group just D’awwed at the same time, leading even more people gathering their attention to your table at the cafeteria, just what you wanted >Somewhere else >You’re Anon >You slowly opened your eyes, only to find out that you haven’t moved an inch since you closed your eyes some hours ago, in the seat of the train that’s going to Canterlot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3pJom2ZiNc >You yawn and stretch in your seat, as you slowly turn your head towards the window, the city of Canterlot is on the horizon “Damn that was a good nap” you say proud, the traveling was less painful when you sleep “We’re almost at nothing to finally arrive” >With you back on your seat, now sitting normally you make a quick summary of what’s on the agenda >You were not happy with the college you were studying, so you proposed your mother to go to Canterlot, which was very proud of having the cream of the crop of the colleges in the state >You needed to do the exam again, but fortunately you did some research and you did not have to do all your courses again >After some hard earned work and saved money, you were able to get a small apartment in Canterlot, ready to move on and face a new life >Before boarding the train your mother gave you a piece of paper “You might want to visit this place” That’s what she said before planting a kiss on your forehead and shoving you to the train “Mothers” You scoff >After a half an hour, more or less, the train finally stops at the Canterlot Station >You wait till the other people that are leaving the cart scram, you always liked to leave at the last moment >As you lazily step down, with your luggage on you back and the piece of paper on your right hand, you read what was on it >A direction, just like she said, and with the extra annotations it sounds like an animal shelter >Why on earth your mother would mark this place as if was so goddamn important? >You check a map that’s on the hall of the train station, And you wince, it’s almost at the downtown of the city >After some thought, you shrug and started to walk, is not like you will have limited time, and it’s your first day here, you can always have some sightseeing and getting familiar with the city. >You start to make your way to the so important location you mother wrote, it could take a couple of hours, but nothing you could not handle >You start walking >You’re now Fluttershy >You make your way to the animal shelter >You’re alone, since the girls were unable to accompany you >Applejack was needed at the farm, Sunset stayed in school tutoring Pinkie Pie and Twilight and Dash were busy “helping” in her boutique >This is somehow a blessing in disguise, since that means no more questioning about what happened in the cafeteria >Not because you didn’t trust your friends >But because these memories are so special, you could say even sacred for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlYhbad-s7I “Anon!” You quickly run to the little boy, face planted in the grass, next to the tree “Are you okay?” >The boy just stands up and shakes his head, and looks at his hands “Hey Flutters! Look!” >Anon opens his hands, as you look down, and notice what he was holding… a small butterfly hairpin >You eyes are open as plates. You thought you lost it a few hours ago, after win it in a prize machine, you ask where it was, because you looked and looked everywhere and it disappeared >Anon smirks “I saw some kid took it from your backpack, After I accused him he told me where he hid it” >Anon pointed out a very tall tree branch more specifically a nest >Both your cheeks warms, as you hold the pin close to your chest “Thank you, Anon” >CHIRP!! >Chirp? You look quickly look both left and right, trying to find where that sound came from. It was close, but where? >CHIRP!! >Again, you focus where is the origin of the sound >Something emerges from your cousin’s reddish pink hair, a little bird, a very, very little bird >You remember seeing it somewhere in the school books, a robin, a baby robin >You giggle while Anon tries to get it off of him “H-hey! Let go!” He ruffles his hair, but a t the same time the bird has his hair firmly grasped >Your little lungs give upp, and you laugh at your hands contents at the feud between your cousin and a baby bird >”Hey, kids” Everything all right here?” a deep voice breaks the scene, as you two turn your heads to see where it comes from >”Oh PA!, HI!” Anon waves his hands at the big man; your uncle, Anon Senior. >After some explaining, uncle Anon nods, as he agreed to help you to get the robin back to its home, since the little guy was only calm when you were holding it >He lifted you high enough to reach the nest. You waved goodbye to your new friend as Uncle puts you back to the floor >”Come kids, your Ma and your aunt are getting the picnic ready” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V216jD1Ex0M >You’re now reaching your destination, walking is less of a chore when you’re deep down on your memories. That little robin was the first one, since that day, you were bringing in animals to the house almost every day, with that little hairpin as your witness until today >You’re in front of the Animal shelter >One final thought invades your mind, you really want to see anon again >You reach out for the door’s handle, but at the same time a hand clashes with yours >”Oh, I’m sorry missy!” You hear “You first” Before you go through the door, the voice sounds somewhat… familiar >You turn your head, only to find out >It’s Mr. Safari, the husband of the Shelter founder and retired safari man >You mentally scold yourself, Come on Fluttershy, keep yourself together , who else cold it be? >Is not like Anon is going to appear behind Mr. Safa- >”Hey, uh… is this the Canterlot Animal Shelt-FLUTTERSHY?!” >You instantly freeze, now that’s a voice you definitely feel familiar. >It can’t be, though >A young male appears behind the pudgy man, he looks like Anon, way more taller than you remember and a bit scruffy >But that hair, those eyes… Oh my! That smirk! IT’S HIM! IT REALLY IS HIM!! “ANON!!” >Finally, after almost two hours walking, getting lost three times and ending in a sketchy neighborhood called Griffonstein (Not to be confused with the actual country Griffonstone), you finally arrived to the blessed animal shelter >By the lord in the skies your mother and you will have a serious conversation when you arrive at your apart- >Your internal rant is interrupted when you see a flock of pink hair behind the fat man in front of you >Reminded you to your dear cousin Fluttershy, but then again, she’s not the only one with a pastel colored hair, especially in this place >You shrug it >You better ask if you’re in the place you have to be, you usually get lost when it comes to visiting areas for the first time, even with a map >You decide to circle the big guy “Hey uh… is this the Canterlot Animal Shelt- FLUTTERSHY?!” >You take a glimpse of the slim girl in front of you; the detail that gives her away is the small butterfly hairpin she wears >Definitly her >You smirk when you see her, and then the next couple of seconds is a blur >You find your back making acquaintances with the pavement and Fluttershy pinning you down with a bear hug , the girl is strong for her physique >You hear the door slamming and a voice of a middle aged woman with a lot of worry on her tone >”Fluttershy, dear, are you alright?, I heard you yelling!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd6MW-XhO5I >Judging by the woman’s reaction, it seems that your dear cousin being loud is still a VERY rare as a solar eclipse >”O-oh, Ms. Safari!” Fluttershy quickly got off of you as fast as she tackled you down “Good evening” >Now that’s the soft spoken girl you remember >”And pray tell, Who’s this young fellow?” >”Huh?... OH gosh, ANON!” Flutters turns on her heels and quickly helps you get on your feet, a shame, you could feel how your back and the street had a connection of some sorts >You see your cousin fidgeting , she can’t hide her happiness, and you can barely hide it, despite your calm demeanor says otherwise >It’s been a while since you two see each other, almost 11 years “I missed you Flutters” you say as you pulled your cousin for a more personal hug, she offers no resistance and hugs you back >”AHEM! Anon is that it?” You hear the woman Shy addressed as Ms. Safari “I take you and miss Fluttersgy know each other” “You have no idea” You say as your gaze meets her >And geez, what’s with that look? >She looks at you, back to Fluttershy, then back to you, and then back to Fluttershy >Her gaze show a lots of things, curiosity, suspicion, and finally, amusement >A woman in her mid-thirties as you assumed, green hair tied with a ponytail with a few bangs on the sides of her head, using an apron over her matching green sweater, jeans and boots. >”Well then, I’m pretty sure you kids have a lot to catch up… Fluttershy dear, you can take the day off” Ms. Safari nods >”Oh my, are you sure?” Man, Fluttershy is really bad at hiding her excitement, or her other emotions for that matter >Ms. Safari nods again >”THANK YOU!” >You feel your arm getting tugged, while Fluttershy urges you to follow her >You decide to not take much resistance, but not after you messaged your mother you finally arrived to Canterlot, and thanking her for the nice surprise >And after a while you are dragged through Canterlot, your new home >Somewhere else, in a Cafe >You just received a message from your son, you open your phone as you put on your glasses >”Arrived to canterlot, nice surprise ma, thanks” >You smile, while the waitress arrives with your mocha and your butterscotch pie “Keikaku doori” you whisper >”Keikaku means plan” the waitress completed >You’re now Fluttershy >You spent all the evening showing Anon all the points of interest you could think of >The lake, the park, the mall, the entrance of your school, the fair and many more >Your final stop is Sugarcube Corner >Anon collapses in the couch, sighs and stretches >Poor thing, he must have been exhausted >”Aww man, I really needed that walk” his stomach releases a very loud growl “I really need to bite something, I haven’t eat anything since this morning” >Guilt somewhat get you, you’ve been too busy showing him around the city, you’ve never thought to ask if he was hungry “I-im sorry” you lower you head, but Anon just laughs >“Don’t worry about it, Flutters” your cousin says while checking out the menu “honestly, I didn’t feel hungry until now” >You smile, since it was obvious he’s lying >He was always like that, even since you two were kids, ‘T’is but a flesh wound’ kinda kid >”Say, you want something Flutters?” “O-oh, don’t worry, I am fine” You wave at him, only to be shut up by your stomach roar >Anon just chuckles, while your face is burning red from embarrassment >”You can have a share if you want, don’t worry about it” he smiles “You’ve been a light eater after all” >”HI, IM PINKIE PIE!” a pink poof appears out of nowhere “OHHAI FLUTTERSHY!” >”GHA!!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZT6S_FNr8 >”Welcome to sugarcube corner! GASP omigosh,I’veneverseenyoubeforestrangerareyounew?what’syourname?areyouheretostay?wanttobemyfriend?omigoshialwayslovetomakenewfriends…” >”H-huh?” Poor Anon whith his hand still on his chest, is clearly overwhelmed by Pinkie Pie curiosity >”Anyways, what would you like to order, Mr Stranger?” >”Uhh… The name’s Anon… and yeah” Anon raises his eyebrow “Would like a chocolate cake and a espresso, please” >Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie writes everything in her notebook >Still your friend haven’t brought anything about the cafeteria, hopefully she already forg- >”By the way Fluttershy, is he the one you were thinking about in the cafeteria?” >…..Shoot >”Yeah, you were even more distant than usual, lost in your thoughts back there. I wanted to ask, you two seem very close…” “P-pinkie” >And Oh my gosh! That look back there and right now, it have a sparkle I’ve never seen before…” >”Pinkie” >”I swear, it’s almost like you are in l…” “PINKIE!!” >Finally you caught your friend’s attention… hers and the rest of the clients in the establishment >An awkward silence is present, as you feel all the stares directly at your neck “I…I changed my mind” you shrink in your seat “I would like to order something” >Pinkie stares at you emotionless.. you love your friend, but those stares are realy unnerving >She suddenly smiles “The usual?” “Y-yes!” >”Okie Dokie Lokie! Stay put you two!” >As Pinkie leaves to the counter, you let out a sigh. Embarrassed is putting it gently of how you feel >”So… you’ve talked about me huh?” Says Anon, showing his trademark smirk >You avoid his eyes, but at the same weakly nod >Pinkie brings both your orders, the chocolate café and the espresso for Anon, and the usual for you, a strawberry milkshake and a Three Milk Cake with fruits on top >There’s also a small post it aside the plate, it looks like a drawing from Pinkie with a small note, you quickly read it “Atta girl?” >Is just a quick drawing of a small pinkie giving you both thumbs up >You don’t get it >You’ve eated your dessert so as Anon, while finally catching up, exchanged phone numbers and joking for a while >Anon is studying archeology and he wants to apply for Canterlot College, and since they can revalidate all the courses he took already, he could continue no problem. >You know that your auntie is doing okay and your uncle, while away, still doing fine >You tell him how hectic school has been, now that you’re a senior, Anon just nods and agrees >Anon asked what did you wanted to study in college, almost instantly you said veterinary … >”Say Flutters” Anon points out at your plate “Can I have that grape?” >You look at the green grape and then nod, after all they’re his favorites >He thanks you, and put it in his mouth, but he doesn’t eat it right away >Instead he just keeps it in his mouth and plays with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x1UbtOi2vw >you see how Anon playfully moves the fruit with his tongue left and right >How he caresses the grape so gently with his tongue and teeth, the thin skin is unharmed as a perfect balance between being delicate and rough >You remember reading one of Rarity’s magazines, about how much of a good kisser a boy could be if he can tie a cherry, you wonder if what Anon is doing could count as we- >What? What are you thinking?! B-bad Fluttershy, He’s your cousin, not a stranger >You then start to take notice how much anon has changed >His facial structure is now more defined, and a very hard chin. How a little patch of facial hair is starting to raise from his skin, his eyes, though they still have the same young spark you remember, you can notice how are more sharpened >You look a bit lower, noticing how his collarbone pops up from his chest; his arms are more toned and defined than you remember; his hands are definitely bigger than yours, manly but not what you classify as brutish >Anon was not the kid you remember, he’s now a full grown man >You return your attention to the grape, or maybe that was your excuse, you focus on your cousin lips, on how malleable they are when they press against the grape or when the tongue licks them, and shine thanks to the coat of saliva >You start to feel funny, like steam coming out from your head, conflicted >He’s a fine man >But he’s your cousin >He’s you cousin… who’s now a fine man >”Fluttershy? Are you okay?” >”FLUTTERSHY!” Anon’s voice drag you back to the real word “W-wha…?” >You meet his eyes, while his eyes denote a hint of worry. Just how long you dozed off? >”Are you okay?” “I-I am fine!” >You quickly grab your smoothie and start drinking it nonstop, lowering your sights >You can see how Anon’s posture relaxes, and how FINALLY he is starting to chew the little fruit >”Say Flutters, you don’t look okay” Anon reaches to your side of the table and places his hand over your forehead >You petrify at his contact, as you feel the heat from his body mixing with yours. You want to talk, but your mouth is completely locked >”Hmm…” Anon frowns “You don’t seem a little bit feverish” >After a lot of internal struggle you managed to let out a small and faint whimper, enough for Anon to hear and realize the position both of you are >Anon blinks, and immediately retracts his hand and returns to his seat >”Sorry” He scratches the back of his head “ I forgot how you get when someone gets very close to you” >Finally, your muscles are not tense any more, but you certainly feel awful for making him worry and then guilty >There’s a bit of an awkward silence >Maybe you should say something >… >”Sorry” “Sorry” >There’s another short silence, followed by a hearty laugh from both sides “Sorry if I worried you Anon” >”And I am sorry as well” Anon says “I was just a bit concerned, you were a bit red” “O-oh, well, i… i…” >It’s okay Fluttershy, you can say something else, please don’t say I was looking at your sweet lips or something That would be totally ridiculous hahahaha, and please STOP SHAKING!! >”Are you catching a cold?” Anon tilts his head “Uhhhhh… y- YES!” >Good enough >”Well, let’s better get going” Anon starts to gather all his stuff “It’s already dark” >You turn to the window, only to confirm that it’s indeed pitch dark outside >You see Anon getting up and place a dollar bill on the table “Keep the change” he said as he helps you to get back on your feet >Both of you are now out of Sugarcube Corner, you feel a chilly breeze hitting you in your naked arms >You’re never outside this late, so the idea of bringing a sweater never crossed your mind, you usually get home before the sun sets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnt7pIfaBRI >Suddenly, the breeze is not hitting your unprotected skin, or at least not as much >You look down, to find out that Anon’s shirt on your shoulders, covering you >With him being a bigger body frame, it fits almost your whole body and your back behind >Turning up to you cousin, you see him in only a tanktop >”We don’t want that cold to get worse, would we?” he smirked at you >You pull closer his shirt and smile. Anon hasn’t changed at least in that aspect. >”Hey don’t worry, I am tougher than I look” >Yep, neither in that aspect either. He will not take a “no” for an answer “Thank you” >You whisper, for both of you to start the way to your house >After a few blocks of walking, you arrive at the entrance >The walk looked so short, with a small chit chat, making sure each exchanged cellphone numbers and emails >You’ve never had so much fun in a while “Say Anon, want to join us for dinner?” >”Sure Flu- Whoa wait…Us?” You see how Anon suddenly tenses “Yeah! I’m pretty sure Mom and Dad would be just as surprised to see you as I am” >You see how he’s looking at his phone, squinting at you assume a message he just got >”Oh, sorry Flutters” Anon fidgets “I was supposed to receive the moving truck at the apartment” “Oh, well in that case let me call my parents so we can hel-“ >”DON’T!” the sudden increase of his tone startles you “I- I mean, don’t worry about it, I can do it myself, besides I am sure you’re pretty tired, and I want you to get some rest” >You approach to Anon, you see him fidgeting even more, while his respiration is getting more and more irregular “Are you okay?” >You extend your hand, trying to reach his face >He quickly intercepts it and holds it firmly >”N-never better cous, but seriously I have to get going” >Catching you by surprise, he lowers his head and places his free hand on top of your head to get you closer to him and gives you a small peck in your forehead >Your shock is visible, which he uses it to do a 180° and start run >There is something odd, something you’re forgetting >Oh that’s right Anon’s shirt! “W-wait! Anon! You forgot…” >He’s already gone… >”Fluttershy, dear?” You hear your mother calling you from inside the house, but you’re still wondering, what happened? -------- >You're Anon >And finally you've arrived at what it will be your new home from here on >An apartment complex, each small apartment have 2 rooms, kitchen, bathroom and a small living room. >Nothing fancy, but hey, you don't need that much >You sigh >The moving truck was supposed to arrive tomorrow morning >There's only a small plastic table in the living room, and a small bed in one room >You hated lying to Fluttershy, but right now you just wanted to be back at your new home >You pull out your phone and opened the WhatsAppDoc >You were supposed to message your mother when you actually arrived to the house >"Hey mom, finally here" SENT >... >"I was getting worried, i thought Fluttershy might worked you up pretty bad" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuMElUay5Hk [Embed] >...You can't help but smile, she knew all along >"About that mom...thanks it was really nice to see her again" >... >"Fluttershy and?" >"Just Flutters... and no one else" >... >"Honey, we've talked about this" >Oh boy, here it comes again >"You have to talk to them sooner or later" >"Better the latter, mom" you frown >You love your cousin, but the less you see her family, the better, for everyone's sake >There's an unholy silence for the lnext 5 minutes >Mom sent you another message >"When's the exam?" >"the next month" you reply >... >"Be strong son, Do what you have to to be happy" >Mom... >"I don't wish you luck son, i wish you success, good night, and say hi to Fluttershy" >With that last message your mother disconnects >You sigh, and star to unpack all the stuff in your backpack >A few clothes, personal hygiene articles... >Another message arrives >Its Fluttershy >"Hello Anon? °^°" You read "Are you home yet?" >You usually hate emoticons, but you can always give your cousin a pass" >"Heya Flutters! Safe and sound!" >"Thank goodness! oh btw, you forgot your shiRt " >Huh, you almost forgot about that, no wonder why you feel so chilly >"Is okay Flutters, you can give it back later" >You think, maybe a little joke would light the mood, at least for you >"That or you can keep it as a memento for reuniting us again" >... >"Oh my >w<" That seems to do the trick >"Gotta go to sleep" you write "Sleep tight, Flutters" >"Good night Anon" >You drop on the bed... a little stiff, but hey, it's only one night you'll have to endure it >As you slowly drift away into the unconciousness your mother's message comes back to your mind >"Sooner or later" >You scoff, slowly closing your eyes and finally rest, for tomorrow will be another day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-eoHPwRKow “Phew” you sigh as you finally put down the last furniture in the living room >Wait, there was another box you didn’t noticed in the corner >You can leave it there, maybe >Is not like it’s getting in the way, but you wonder… >You go and check it. >You receive a nice surprise >It’s your old stuff, back where you were in the first year on Elementary school >Man, that really takes you back >Your mother should have packed it and send it to you with the rest of the boxes that arrived some time ago in the moving truck >Oh mom, if she wanted to make you feel homesick, she succeeded >The first chance you get you’re going back to visit her >For now, you just close the box and put it in a shelf >NOW your apartment looks decent enough to actually invite people over >… >Yeah right! Like someone would visit you willingl- >RING! >”Well mother of all ironies” you though as you hear the bell at the door >You reach the door… >”Hello there, new neighbor!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY_tXBBela4 >…to see a woman, with a big smile on her face, blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, small freckles adorning her cheeks, big green eyes and (no offense) a big ugly and poofy blue dress. Probably in her mid-thirties “Uhh, hi?” your eyebrows raise as you respond as quiet as you can >It’s been at least a week since you’ve arrived to Canterlot, so far It’s been comfy so far >it’s spring, so there is good weather and sunny days, your apartment is in actually a very good place; not too far from downtown, with a direct way to Canterlot University >There’s a small convenience store a block away, so food and supplies are a no issue >Everything seem to be nice and in its place >Except this woman >You’ve never seen her in the small time you’ve been here. Granted, you’re not the epitome of social interaction, but you at least know by sight your neighbors >”Oh my! Where are my manners?” she extends her hand to you “The name’s Peachbottom! I am your neighbor next door” “Nice to meet you?” you extend your hand, to meet with a very energetic shake form the woman >”Now now, I know you might be wondering why i am visiting you this late” You hit the nail right in the head, you think >“I was away visiting my family at the Rainbow Falls, when suddenly Mrs. Harshwhinny called and said ‘Peachy guess what’ and I was like ‘OMG, What?’; and she’s like ‘a boy just moved to the old lady Wrinklum’s apartment and i was ‘no way’…” >Harshwhinny? The woman who lives on the apartment below you? She’s a teacher at Flutters School. A proper woman; never thought she was into gossips. >Speaking of Flutters, you really promised to go with her to buy some supplies for the shelter right? Oh boy, you better grab some extra cash in case of emergency. You never know when you might need it. Also get a treat for your cous’ bunny, Angel >You honestly dislike the little rat, but Flutters is the only reason that you’re not dining grilled bunny today. At least she deserves that and if it makes little devil not so annoying then you have no problem with it >Besides, rabbit meat is really tasteless >While you’re at it, it might be a good idea to find a job, food doesn’t appear in the kitchen with magic, and so does the books you’re gonna need for the exam and the courses. >”…And then I could finally get out because I HAD to meet the new hotne- I mean the new inhabitant of the apartments” >Oh shit, she was still talking. What was she saying? Damn, play it cool Anon “Uhh, that’s great! The pleasure is…mine?” >Ms. Peachbottom smile at you response “Aww thank you sweetie!” >She takes out a paper bag a pie and gives it to you >“I really wanted to cook a pie to greet you, but I just got here so, I hope you don’t mind one from the bakery” >Fucking nailed it >But you need to get going, Flutters’ school is almost over “Thank you Ms Peach” You accept the pie, a quick look of it and it seemed it was pineapple pie >Aww Yiss >You were already thinking a way to excuse yourself but Peachbotton already got you covered >”Anyways, you might be busy, so I’ll go unpacking” > She takes you hand again and shakes it again >“Welcome uh…” >She tilts her head unable to continue. Oh that’s right, you’ve never had a chance to introduce yourself “The name’s Anon” >”Right! Well I won’t distract you Anon”, she turns to her apartment “Oh and good luck with your date!” >Is this woman psychic or something? > Also, date? Well technically yes but you wouldn’t called it a date per se >you’re just gonna go with your cousin to get some stuff she needs >Shrugging all that, you enter back and go to and take a quick shower >After that, you need to go to Flutters school >Be Peachbottom >And boy, Harshwhinny wasn’t kidding when she told you the boy is really cute, specially that reddish hair of his >And very polite, he was listening to your rambling and never grew tired of it or was rude to you >You giggle, while you’re hoping you could get to know your neighbor better, soon enough >Be Fluttershy >Classes just ended as you reunite with your friends at the hallways of the school “Hi girls!” you greet your group as you arrive, while the others greet you back >As all of you heads up to the music room to practice your new routines for the band, you start enabling into small chat, until Applejack addresses you directly >”Well, ain’tcha looking awfully cheerful today? What happened girl?” >”Certainly you look positively delighted today darling” Rarity added >Was that smile of yours really that obvious? Ever since Anon arrived you two have been texting every night to catch up on what you’ve been doing lately >It’s so easy to open up and talk to him, He always listens and reads everything you send him and tries to offer you advice every time you ask him >”What? Do you do have a date or something?” Rainbow Dash asked playfully https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SpQ1CWi8sQ >Six pairs of eyes are fixated on you, you wonder why, until you note that you stopped on your tracks right after Rainbow’s commentary >Legs.exe stopped working, replaced by sweating. exe >You see the varieties of expression on each of the girls faces >Applejack and Rainbow look at you with their eyes as wide as plates, Rarity covers her mouth in surprise and an obvious hint of curiosity, Twilight just raises an eyebrow, Pinkie almost tears her face with that wide smile of hers and Sunset looks at you as if she tries to recall something >Oh Shoot… damage control, DAMAGE CONTROL! You only have one chance to dismiss it as a non-issue >You start by flailing your hands in front of you while your cheeks are getting red “D-d-d-d-date?! N-n-no Dash, don’t be silly, I don’t have a date” >And ya blew it >The girls gasp at the same time “So you DO have a date!!” >Yesterday after a nice prepping talk at yourself for almost an hour, you finally build the courage to invite you cousin to make you company to buy some stuff you need for your animals >You just asked him to help you to buy stuff, It’s NOT a date!... >Is it? >Sunset speaks up “Is this about that boy you were with last week in Sugarcube Corner?” you tense up and flail even harder “A-a-anon?!” >”Oh Yeah!

Anon right?!” >Goodie, the pink menace that almost makes you diabetic from the scare is also here >The way she “nothing personal kid” behind your back was unsettling to say the least >The group exchanges glances with each other, with a varied reactions nonetheless >Weird >Oh, so YOU’RE Anon” said the bacon haired girl >”If you’re looking for her, she’s in the music room” >Music room? Oh right, Flutters mentioned she and her friends have a band together >Now it’s just matter of finding the goddamn room. You’ve never been here before >” First stairs, then to the right, the last room of the hallway sugarcube” Said the cowgirl “Thanks” >You wave at the group and decide to take your leave >That sure helps, if only you didn’t always get lost the first time you visit a new place >Let’s hope it doesn’t happen this time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8uCJhFUzYc >Oh shit, group call now >Everyone gathers around in a circle >”So, what do you think girls of him?” Sunset is the first one to ask, once the giggles are toned down >”He sure seems like a nice guy, Sunset” Applejack states >”Fluttershy surely agrees” waves Rarity >” Well duh, obviously Fluttershy likes him, and every time he calls her ‘Flutters’ and the way she melts away, she obviously is all over good ol’ Nonny“ Pinkie finalizes >There are “Awww”s galore from everyone, yes, even Rainbow Dash >”So…” Twilight raises her voice, getting the attention of the rest of the girls “What do we do now? I mean that’s nice and all but, why are we discussin it?” >”Oh, Isn’t it obvious darling?” >There’s a brief silence, Twilight just shake her head >”It’s time to give the couple of lovers the push they might need” >”Yeah, you know how unsure Fluttershy is” Dash interjects “She’s never going to make the next step by herself, that’s why we gotta make a plan” >The rest of the group nods in agreement >”All righty then” Says Pinkie, putting an equally pink soldier helmet, already with war paint and a toy bow and a heart arrow >Wut, how? Never mind, it’s Pinkie Pie >”Time for the ‘Operation: Group Cupido’ to make their plan of attack” >You’re now Fluttershy >Practice ended a bit earlier >The girls decided to leave, while you stay waiting for Anon >He’s supposed to arrive in 30 minutes, that should help to clear your mind, after such an embarrassment that happened earlier today >It’s for the best, you don’t want any more awkwardness with him or your friends >You stretch, and you see that Rainbow dash didn’t even unplugged the microphone >You let out a huff >She’s your best friend, but she can be a handle >You reach it and you hear your breath through the microphone “Oh!” >The speaker reacts, as you hear your voice amplified by the device >It’s been a while since you’ve ever tried to sing >A childhood memory flashes before your eyes >”Your voice is pretty, Flutters!” >Maybe… >Only this one time >You grab the microphone, and put your phone one song >One song that has been in your head for a couple of days >The song starts and you take a deep breath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmud_h1vtSk “I want to let him know these feelings, I won't stop, uh, there's no turning back Embracing me, catch me and never leave me” >The chorus is done… >Hey, that actually doesn’t sound that bad >Maybe you can do this! “The lights of the town illuminate my shaking emotions I can feel your kindness amongst the crowd of people Before even the traces of my tears disappear I'm confirming the time I had with you just once more” >Every line you finish, you gain more and more confidence >You already know the lyrics by memory >You just close your eyes and let the words go >At some points, you let the rhythm of the song flow through you and start to move as you think is fit >You repeat the chorus one more time >”Whoa Flutters, your voice still is pretty!” >Huh? >You open your eyes >You turn your head to see where that voice came from >You could feel your face going pale milliseconds after doing it >On the frame of the door you there’s you cousin, with a wide smile on his face “A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a…” >Your cousin, just saw you sing >And dance >He wasn’t even supposed to be here! >You can’t even move your jaw, you’re paralyzed >All of this, while the song still is playing at the background >Quickly Fluttershy, DO something!! >”I had some trouble locating the music room, even with indications” Anon scratches his head and laughing >You still can’t move >Dammit girl, get yourself together and DO SOMETHING! >”I decided to get here early, since I didn’t knew how to ge-“ >Anon couldn’t even finished his sentence >A loud thud comes out from the speaker after that the microphone falls to the ground >Following the microphone, Anon just flops to the ground > WHY IN THE NAME OF EVERYTHING IT’S HOLY YOU THREW THAT TO ANON’S FACE?! >When you asked to do something, you weren’t expecting this “A-ANON!” >You force yourself to snap back, and go to aid your poor dear cousin >You’re Anon >”Anon , please!

Now that would’ve been awkward as fuck. What the fuck brain? >”Well look at her” you answer mentally, at the same time you raise your eyes and look at your cousin skipping to a table >You’ve never noticed, how much Flutters have developed since the last time you saw her >Hell she was just a small fragile kid when you and your mother had to go to another city, to see her like she is now >Those well-toned legs, her hair is now really long and silky, her eyes still have that innocent spark but that little make up she wears gives her a sense of maturity >Not only she’s beautiful, but also she still haven’t lost her kindness and motherly instincts, specially towards animals >She’s such a perfect woman >Man, the guy who get her surely will be the luckiest motherfucker on earth >”Anon?” Hearing your name snaps you back to reality “Are you okay?” >Seeing her reassuring smile just makes you happy “Sorry Flutters, I’m good” You start walking to the table she’s in >”Fluttershy, is that you my dear?” >Wha? >”Oh, Mr Discord!” You hear her >You see an old guy with messy gray hair and equally gray goatee in a tacky suit, in a yellow shirt, a very colorful polka dot tie, khaki pants, and is that two different socks? Sheesh, might as well being a safe box, because you can’t find the combination anywhere in this guy’s attire >”Oh doing wonderful, dearie” >Despite you being at his side, he gracefully ignores you grabs the chair you were gonna use and sits next to Flutters >Discord, huh? He’s a colorful one, and not only fashion wise >His mannerisms and his way of speaking scream “eccentric” >And he’s trying to get very close to your cousin… too close for your liking >You feel your eye twitching, every time he tries to hug her and pulling her over >Calm down anon, he could be a friendly professo- >”My Fluttershy, I REALLY hope you could visit me to my office really soon for a cup of tea” You see the old fart while taking her hand and kissing it >Glass shattering.mp3 “Hey there Flutters!

Now she’s scolding you? “Mr. Discord is a good man. It’s not like you to act like that” “S-sorry” you lower your head “I sorta snapped to see him so close to you” >”Anon” >Great, you just screwed up “I’ll go and fetch our food” You stand up “You want a Caesar?” >Huh?
