The Night Shy
Girl talks to girl
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe yellow pegasus looked into Luna's dark eyes, still stunned at what she heard downstairs.
"What is it girl?" Celestia asked kindly.
"Well, its just, I." Fluttershy's lips couldn't form the words she wanted to say.
"Spit it out!" Luna shouted.
Luna Fluttershy thought The reason I came here. "I came for some more advice." she eventually said. Well, it was true. That is why she was in the castle first of all.
"Ok, what do you need advice on? Ask away." the black alicorn said with a smile.
"I, I'd rather do this in private."
"But we are in private."
"Without Celestia."
"Oh ok, just call when I can come back." then the white monarch teleported out of the room.
"So, what is it Fluttershy?" Luna patted the bed where Celestia was sitting to motion Fluttershy to sit.
Fluttershy jumped up onto the bed and sat next to Luna. "Well, its just. There's somepony I have a crush on, and I need to know how to get them to like me."
"Just act like yourself." Luna answered.
"Really? That's it?"
"Yeah, and if that doesn't work, wait about a week or so, most ponies forget by then, and talk to them, flirt with them, make them think that you will make them feel better about themselves no matter what, like you are the single reason they were put on this planet."
"But how?"
"Compliment them a lot. Say nicer things than they'd ever hear anypony say, even if some are lies. If they're fat and weigh like 500 pounds, say like 'hey, have you been working out?' Just do stuff like that, do them little favors, buy them a gift."
"Does that really work?"
"Yeah, I've done it plenty of times, almost always works."
"Do you think that you being an immortal goddess had anything to do with it?"
"Oh no, I've done it before I was a princess. In fact, it worked more before immortality. Something about being over 20,000 years older than them really freaks out a stallion."
"Oh, is that all?"
"Yeah. Well good luck, so who is it?"
"Who is what?"
"The stallion."
"Oh, its just somepony you know."
"Oh, ok, good luck Fluttershy."
"Thank you Luna." then the yellow pegasus got off the bed and left the castle.
Celestia teleported back into the room right where Fluttershy was sitting.
"So, how did it go sis?"
"You know how it went, don't lie."
"How did you know?"
"I saw the tip of your wing in the window."
"Well, I guess I'm busted then."
Luna looked at the ground. A single pink hair lay on the ground. Luna picked it up and went to her closet. She put it by a picture of Fluttershy. She backed out of the closet and looked at her shrine then shut the door.
"I'm too obsessed with her."
"I can tell." Celestia said barely containing her laughter.
Luna looked at Celestia. Celestia stared back. Then the two sisters burst into laughter.
"Not as obsessive. As you. With. Rainbow Dash." Luna managed between laughs.
Celestia stopped laughing immediately after Luna said this and glared at her sister. "You. Are right." then she fell onto the floor laughing.
The two sisters kept laughing. After a while, they moved on to joke telling. Luna was surprisingly good, or Celestia had a bad sense of humor and laughed at everything.
When Fluttershy found her way downstairs to the tea party room, she heard another conversation she took way too wrong.
"Stop it Luna, I can't breathe! Oh my me, you're awesome at this. I just LOVE this." Celestia laughed.
Fluttershy paused and looked up. She looked forward again and bolted out of the castle. Well, now to put Luna's advice to the test, wheres Soarin? Fluttershy looked around then started flying. She flew around town looking for Soarin. When she found him, she darted down and started talking to him.
"Hey Soarin." she said when she landed, sweating lightly. Hey, you have to give her credit, its hard flying and she never passed flight school, and she is super shy, but talking normally, that's enough to make ANYONE sweat.
"Oh, hey Fluttershy." Soarin said.
"Soarin do you like me?"
Soarin was taken aback by this sudden question. "Well, I, I guess."
"Will you go out with me?"
"Well, I don't know, this just, came on so fast, and well, I kind of."
Just then, Spitfire walked out of the cafe they were standing by, she was holding two cups of coffee and two bagels.
"Hey baby. I got your coffee and bagel." Spitfire said as she handed, or is it hoofed, one of each item to Soarin.
"Thank you honey." The two pegasi rubbed noses. Then Soarin took a sip of his coffee.
"Who's this?" Spitfire asked looking at Fluttershy.
"This is Fluttershy, my friend."
"Aww, shes cute."
"You say that about everypony."
"Yeah, I know. So, how are you doing Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy backed away cautiously.
"Whats wrong? I don't bite."
"Its ok Spitfire, shes just a bit shy around new people." Soarin explained.
"Oh, I see. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Spitfire, leader of the Wonderbolts." Spitfire held out a hoof to shake hooves with Fluttershy and she smiled kindly.
Fluttershy slowly crept forward and shook Spitfire's hoof.
"H-hi Sp-Spitfire." she said a little scared.
"Its ok Fluttershy, Spitfire is my friend, she's really nice." Soarin said.
"Yeah, what he said. Wait, I'm nice? That's all I get?" Spitfire said jokingly, pretending to be mad at Soarin, but maybe pretending too much. She scared Fluttershy who jumped back and ducked down.
"Oh, its ok Fluttershy, she was just joking. She is a very good actor. Maybe a bit too good." Soarin put some emphasis on the last sentence and looked at Spitfire out of the corner of his eye, but she got the message.
"Yeah, I'm not mad, I was just joking." Spitfire said doing her best
"A-are you sure?" Fluttershy asked, taking half a step closer.
"Yeah."
Fluttershy stood up completely and trotted back up to the couple.
"So, what did you want Fluttershy?" Spitfire asked.
"Oh, uhh, nothing. Just wanted to talk. Uhh, bye." Fluttershy started walking away.
"Oh, goodbye then Fluttershy, hope to see you again, maybe we can actually talk." Spitfire said, both she and Soarin started waving.
Is it just me or is she much nicer around Soarin? Fluttershy thought, reminiscing the short time she visited Rainbow Dash in the Wonderbolts Academy. Oh well, that doesn't help me now, my crush is already taken. What will I do next? All of my friends are asleep by now. Then she decided. She flew off towards the castle to talk to the princesses. When she arrived, the two monarchs were still telling jokes, most of them were corny, and when I say corny, I mean corny. Think of the corniest joke in the world. Now multiply the corniness by ten, that's barely scratching the surface on these jokes' corniness.
"Oh, hello Fluttershy." Celestia said when the yellow pegasus flew in.
"Hello Celestia." Fluttershy responded.
"So, did you ask him out?" Luna asked.
"Yes."
"How did it go?"
"He's taken."
"Oh, that's too bad, but you know, if a guy is taken the first time you ask him out and you didn't know, it means it was never meant to be." Celestia said.
Luna and Fluttershy stared at her.
"What? Its true. Everypony I've seen that happen to never got married to that pony."
"Wow, that's a little scary and specific." Luna said. Fluttershy just nodded, a dumb look on her face.
"So, Fluttershy, is there anything you came here for?"
"Well, I kind of want to talk to Luna again, in private."
"Oh all right." Celestia transported out of the room and Fluttershy took her place on the bed.
"So, what do you want to talk about Fluttershy?" Luna asked.
"Well, I just wanted to say." Fluttershy was cut off.
"Wait a second." Luna walked up to the window. "Celestia, GET OUT!"
"Oh, ok." Celestia looked a little disappointed, but she transported away again.
"So, anyways. As I was saying." Fluttershy began.
Luna opened her closet. "Celestia, OUT!"
Celestia came out of the closet and walked out of the room. She went into the hallway and shut the door behind her. Luna opened the door and zapped Celestia's flank with some magic.
"Stay out!" Luna said.
"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" Celestia said, she charged toward the room, but was shot back by some invisible force field. "Fine, I'll stay out."
Luna shut the door and sat on the bed again. "So, what did you want to talk about Fluttershy?"
"Well, I just wanted to say."
She was interrupted by a shocking sound and an angry sounding Celestia shouting "FUCK THAT HURT!"
"Celestia, the spell shocks you if you get to close to the room!" Luna shouted to the door.
"Yeah, I kind of got that." Celestia shouted back.
"So, what did you want to talk about Fluttershy?" Luna asked.
DUN DUN DUUUUN. Another cliff hanger. I bet you're starting to hate me huh?
