The Night Shy

Fluttershy looked around. She saw Angel hopping around the floor happily. She ran up to the rabbit. He heard the hoofsteps and looked up at his favorite pony. She had a horn! Angel was so surprised, he fainted, on the spot. Fluttershy didn't see the drama king. She bolted out the door. Fluttershy headed straight for Twilight's tree. Every pony who she passed, stared in amazement at the new found royalty and bowed. Fluttershy didn't care, she just ran until she got to Twilight's house

"TWILIGHT?!" she asked bursting through the doors, wings spread widely in a dramatic pose.

"Fluttershy? Whats wrong?" Twilight asked.

"I think somethings wrong with me."

"What?"

"I think I'm an alicorn."

"What? Of course you aren't, oh my Celestia you are." Twilight said walking up to her friend.

"Do you have any idea how this happened?"

"I have no clue."

"But I do." said a mysterious voice from the corner. The two friends looked, but didn't see any pony.

"Who's there?" Twilight asked, her friend hiding behind her.

"Its me, Luna." the black alicorn said walking out of the corner.

"What, how did this happen though?" Fluttershy asked.

"I asked Celestia to make you an alicorn, and she obviously agreed."

"But why?"

"Because Fluttershy, I love you, and I think you'd make a perfect princess."

"Wait, what?" Twilight asked.

"What do you mean what?" Luna asked.

"You, you LOVE her?"

"Yes, we are going out, didn't you know that?"

"No, I didn't."

"Fluttershy, you lied about us?"

"No Luna, I just, didn't say anything about us." Fluttershy said.

"Why not?" Luna asked. "Are you embarrassed of me?"

"No, its just, I didn't want to tell anypony because I thought they'd make fun of me."

"Oh Fluttershy, its ok. None of your friends are going to make fun of you, real friends like you no matter what." Twilight said, hugging her friend.

"Thank you Twilight." Fluttershy said.

"Just remember, your friends will stand behind you no matter what choices you make, well, unless they lose their legs. Then they can't stand."

"Umm, thanks?"

"Just uhh, don't tell Pinkie for a while, she'll turn it into a party."

"All right Twilight."

"HEY, what are you doing?" Luna glared at Twilight, just noticing the hug.

"I'm just hugging my friend, reassuring her." Twilight said withdrawing her arms.

"Oh, ok then." Luna sat next to Fluttershy and put a wing around the still small pony.

Fluttershy looked up at her marefriend and hugged her.

"Luna, I love you."

"I know you do., and I love you too." Then the two rubbed noses.

Twilight squealed with excitement.

"What?" Luna asked.

"Soarin and Spitfire just broke up! Now is my chance!" Twilight ran out of the tree, dropping the phone she was just checking.

"Why is every mare going for Soarin now?" Luna asked.

"I have no clue." Fluttershy said.

Luna and Fluttershy talked for a while, and eventually, Twilight returned with Soarin in tow.

"Oh, hello Soarin." Luna said obviously still a little mad at him.

"Hi Luna." Soarin replied glaring at her.

"So I suppose you and Twilight are going out now?"

"Yeah, I see you and Fluttershy are a thing."

"Lets go Fluttershy, I don't think this is a good place to stay for us." Luna said as she got up and started leaving.

"Oh, all right." Fluttershy said following Luna. The two walked all the way to the castle.

"Why did we come here?" Fluttershy asked when they stopped in Luna's room.

"To watch how Soarin loses this mare." Luna said making 2 sets of binoculars appear. She handed one to Fluttershy and stared out her window into Twilight's house.

They were playing checkers. Soarin was losing, he took a move, if he could make one move without Twilight taking a turn, he would win. He pointed at the wall, and Twilight turned. While she wasn't looking, Soarin quickly pushed his piece to a new square. When Twilight turned back. She noticed the moved piece. Then it looked like they started yelling. And Soarin left the house, then Luna's phone binged. She checked it, Soarin changed his status to single again.

"Is there anything else he can cheat at?" Luna asked herself.

"I don't know." Fluttershy answered. She set the binoculars down and looked at Ponyville. She was staring at the village when the binoculars floated in front of her again. She grabbed them and set them on the bed again. "Luna, could you help me with magic?" she asked.

"Sure, what do you need?"

"How do I stop using it unintentionally?"

"Well, you just have to live through it for a while, you just got your magic, so its like a baby, the magic is uncontrollable for a while, but you'll eventually master it."

"Oh, great. So, want to go back to Twilight's house?"

"Sure, why not."

Then Fluttershy led the way back to the library. They arrived to see Twilight crying slightly.

"Whats wrong Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"Soarin, hes a cheater!" Twilight complained.

"We already knew that."

"I bet you hate me for taking that little jerk, I found out he even cheated on Luna."

"Honestly Twilight, we don't care. We will like you no matter what, you're our friend."

"Thanks, and as long as you like me, I'll always like you." Twilight said as she gave her friend a quick hug.
