"I'm going to guess music is the next thing you need to check." Naruto remarked as they came across a small gathering of birds and one Pegasus pony. A mare pony with a pale, light grayish gold coating, pale rose mane and gentle cyan eyes. "Don't approach too quickly." Naruto warned them as they approached the pony with the three butterfly cutie mark.

"Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm." the mare said as she stopped the rehersal. "Excuse me, sir? I mean, no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off." The blue jay nodded. "Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three…" Before she could start, Naruto called out to her.

"Hey Fluttershy, hope I'm not interrupting." The tone he used was much softer then the boisterous one used to greet the others.

"Oh…hello Naruto. What brings you here?"

"I'm helping somepony around town." He said as Twilight Sparkle strode forward.

"Hello, I hope we aren't interrupting you. I was sent from Canterlot to see how everything is going and the music sounds wonderful." Fluttershy didn't respond. " "I'm Twilight Sparkle." Still no response. "What's your name?" asked Twilight.

"Um... I'm Fluttershy." The Pegasus said in a meek tone.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" asked Twilight.

"Um... My name is Fluttershy." Fluttershy said in an even quieter voice that was hardly audible.

"Didn't quite catch that." said Twilight. Fluttershy then made a squeaking sound as her mane covered on of her eyes.

"Let me talk with her." Naruto suddenly cut in. "She's really shy. She had it rough as a filly and I've been trying to help her through it, but progress has been slow." Naruto spoke to the unicorn before he led Fluttershy away. Out of all the new friends he had made Fluttershy was one of the more recent ones. "I'm sorry about that Fluttershy I should have warned Twilight more." In response he got something in more along lines of 'it's ok'. "She just wanted to check out the music and it seems like things are going okay. I'm sure she wouldn't mind a small sample of what the birds can do."

'D-Do I have to?' she squeaked.

"Come on Fluttershy its for the festival. She's not going to hurt you. Twilight Sparkle is a nice mare and Spike is also a pretty cool little dude."

The mare cocked her head curiously. Spike? She looked around the mare and spotted the baby dragon.

"A baby dragon!" shouted Fluttershy as she tackled Spike. "Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He's sooo cute!" the Pegasus practically gushed over the hatchling. Even Naruto was stunned by this rather uncharacteristic display.

"Well, well, well...!" said Spike as he felt like he was really important.

"Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!" said Fluttershy as she was amazed that Spike could speak.

"Well, in that case we'd better be going." Twilight suggested.

"Wait, wait! What's his name?" Fluttershy asked the group.

"I'm Spike." The baby dragon introduced himself.

"Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?" said Fluttershy.

"Well, what do you wanna know?" asked Spike.

"Absolutely everything." said Fluttershy.

"Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg..." Spike began "...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?"

"Oh, yes, please!" said Fluttershy. Suddenly, Spike found a hoof, courtesy of Twilight clamped over his mouth as he was dragged back.

"I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? I'm staying at the library while I'm in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep so we need to hurry and settle in."

"Poor thing, you simply must get into bed... "

"Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!" she said, dragging Spike away before any more time could be wasted.

"I'll see you latter Fluttershy."

"Okay…bye."

"I have to say that was definitely interesting." Naruto remarked as he began remembering how he met Fluttershy. It wasn't until relatively recently in fact.

It was during training where he found himself collapsed from exhaustion. The desire to gain back the power he once had drove him to near reckless levels of training. After all, being as strong as he once was in this new body was the only chance he had to survive.

He slowly began to stir only to find himself in a cottage of some sorts. He was in a basket and as he assessed himself he found that he was attended to. He looked around and saw there was an assortment of animals consisting of birds, squirrels, mice, cats, and other creatures. "Where in the world am I?" he said as the pony he assumed was his caretaker entered the room. Upon realizing he was awake she seemed to freeze in mid-step.

"Oh hello, you helped me right?" Naruto asked as he moved up to his hooves. The mare made something in relation to a squeak as she stood there. "Hello? My name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki what's yours?" the Pegasus shied away from him. The various animals let out various growls causing the blond to stumble back.

"Its okay." The Pegasus quietly assured her little companions. "M-My name is Fluttershy. H-Hello." They both exchanged a glance as blue eyes met blue eyes. The Pegasus once more shied away from him.

"Well its nice to meet you Fluttershy. Can you tell me where I am?"

"Oh we're outside of Ponyville Mr. Naruto."

Naruto just grinned. "Just Naruto, no Mr. ok?"

"N-Naruto could you tell me why you were unconscious outside, but you don't have to answer it though I was just curious." She shied away as he turned towards her bumping into one of her animal friends before quickly apologizing to the gentle soul.

"I was training. I'm something of a martial artist and I sort of went overboard. You really saved me though, thanks for your help." He thanked her.

"From that moment on I've been visiting Fluttershy. She doesn't associate with others much and its nice to slow down and enjoy nature with someone." Naruto explained as they arrived to the library.

"I would like to thank you for all your help today Naruto. Not to be rude, but there is a matter which I really have to tend to." She said as she searched along the wall for a light switch. "Now where is the switch?"

"I found it." Naruto said as he used his hoof to turn on the light.

"Surprise!" many ponies shouted out. The Unicorn was taking back by the loud noise and fanfare, with an odd pinky pony blowing a Kazoo.

"Huh? Looks like you must have met Pinkie Pie." Was the only thing Naruto could remark as every inch of the library was covered in a traditional Pinkie Pie set-up.
