Fading Shy

  Anthony went to Twilight's house to ask her if she could do anything, he knocks on the door and waits. The door opens revealing Spike answering it. "Twilight! It's for you!" calls up to her. Twilight walks downstairs and towards the door. "Hey Anthony, what are you doing here?" She asks. "Fluttershy is sick, and I need to know if you could do something about it." She looks at him keeping a straight face. "I'm sure it's just a simple cold." She tells him. He looks her with a frustrated face. "She's dying." He says to her. Her eyes widen, and then starts to walk out the door. "Spike I'll be back in a few!" She calls from the door, and then closes the door with her magic and heads towards Fluttershy's cottage, Anthony following close by.

  Anthony opens the door to her cottage, Fluttershy was still laying in the same spot Anthony left her in. All the animals were still standing by her bedside. Twilight then used her magic and checked to see if she's alright. "This is like no other sickness I've ever seen." She says lowering Anthony's hopes. "But I could make her a cure." Anthony sighs in relief and leans towards Fluttershy. "You hear that? You're gonna be alright." He says once again reassuring her. He and Twilight walk out the door then Anthony stops her just outside the door. "Hey Twilight how long will it take you to make the cure." He asks. She begins to think. "Well I'd say about, hmm, three days." Anthony becomes frustrated. "Three days? She doesn't have three days. Could you make it a rush?"  She looks at him raising an eyebrow then sighs and starts to think again. "If i could rush it with Spike's help, I could do it in, about a day and half an hour. He sighs in relief and they hugs Twilight. "Thanks Twilight." She returns the hug "No problem. Now go comfort Fluttershy while I make the cure." Anthony walks back into Fluttershy's cottage and lays down with her again on the bed. He pulls her close and begins to stroke her soft pink hair. "You're gonna be okay Flutters, I promise." He says beginning to cry. She slowly wrapped her hooves around him and hugged him and rested her head on his chest. "Could you take off your shirt please?" He blushes then looks down at her, but then proceeds to take his shirt off. She places her head back on his chest. Her pink hair felt so soft against his skin. He then felt her tears sliding onto his bare chest. He then held her tighter against him and pulled the covers over them both and closes his eyes and fell asleep with her next to him.
