„I grew up in Canterlot´s suburbia. I do not say that bullshit that I was raised by the streets…but my childhood wasn´s anything special.
And now I come here, to Ponyville, for no reason, to do the one and only thing I know. Tatooing. Yea, I know that I will probably starve…but I want a new begining. Why? Just…to forget.
Well, here I go, with a bag full of needles and colours, into this beautiful friendly town. Take a long breath and go face that unknown ponies full of prejudices.“
Fluttershy was collecting eggs from her chicken house. Singing, as usual. It was such a sunny day, she just couldn´t get enough of sun´s warmth and birds´ singing. She planned to go to Rarity´s place for a sleepover, this is going to be so much fun!
Wait…what? She focused her sight on some weird movements in depth of Everfree forest. She naturally hid herself a little behimd the door. What is that? A timberwolf? Oh no…that character´s silouhette was getting clearer. Yea, it´s a pony. A tall stallion of grey color. She made a few steps forvard. And saw a briliant shining blue main with some black and white stripes here and there…he turned his head. Oh no. Fluttershy turned away, but she knew that he saw her. Her heartbeat was rising to her throat and she went full red. The voice inside her head screamed : „Oh please, please, don´t talk to me…“
„Ehh...´scuse me, miss?“ That little yellow pony did not even look to his face. „Ehmm…could you beautiful lady tell me a simple information? Am I in Ponyville?“ She turned her face a little. Now he could see her cute lashes blinking shyly. „Uhh, I guess so, sir…“ He laughed shortly and responded: „Well you don´t even know where you are? Is that some kind of shrooms?“ And he laughed again to his inner joke. „So I will try to break the ice. Here.“ He stepped closer to that filly and almost got hypnotized by the pure shade of pink that shined from her main. He gave her a hoof. „Here, my name is Iron Wing, a poor pegasus from Canterlot. The creature in front of him smiled. What a thing!
„I´m…Fluttershy…“ She almost whispered lowing her eyes, like she searched something on the ground. „It is an untold pleasure to know a name of a pony like you, Fluttershy.“ He said, gently kissing her hoof. Fluttershy´s face was red once again. „Is there any place I can stay? I mean, now, I surely want to stay…“ He smiled, showing his teeth, causing another Fluttershy´s embarrasment.
„Well…Iron…you can go further to the centre of Ponyville, I´m sure that somewhere around the clockhouse there is some hotel…or you can go to Cloudsdale, when you´re a pegasus, as I see…oh godness, I speak too much…“ Why is she so ashamed?
„No,no, Fluttershy, just go on, I simply love your voice.“ She made herself smile a little. „Euh..thanks?“ She said. „Don´t be afraid, I´m on my way. But I think that this beautiful forest has fascinated m eso much, that I´m going to return…“ He said with a rude smile, threw his bag onto his back and headed to the centre.
Fluttershy was looking his way and tossed. But then she got out of the world of imaginations and sai to herself: „Damn, recover, little lady! Back to work!“ She turned and finally carried the collected eqqs into her cottage.
