Finger Fury

Fluttershy slowly walked up the stairs into the courtyard where there were lots of other students there waiting for the bell to go too, she sat down underneath the white birch tree where she usually waited for the bell to go. She was worried about Sunset Shimmer, she could be planning revenge after what happened this morning. She was in the middle of thinking to herself when she suddenly started laughing uncontrollably, she kicked herself away from the tree and turned around to see who her sneak attacker was. "Hi!" Came Pinkiepie's high voice, "Pinkie don't do that! You know I'm ticklish!" she exclaimed quietly. "Do what? This?" said Pinkiepie going in for another attack, but Fluttershy moved back and swatted her hands away. "Pinkiepie don't!" she exclaimed once again quietly, trying not to attract attention. "Oh fine!" Pinkiepie said giggling, "Thanks..." she replied. "What's with the face?" Came a voice behind her, she turned around to see Obscurity, Rarity's big Brother, standing behind her. "What face? This...is my...face..." Fluttershy said turning away. "Come on Flut', I know that face, somethin's botherin' you" said Obscurity in his scruffy Scottish voice, Fluttershy stared at him for a second before sinking her head into her shoulders and looking down at the ground. "Sunset Shimmer bumped into me...well, I bumped into her and she's pretty mad at me..."

"Should've known, you an' her aren't exactly on friendly terms are you?"

"I...well...no..."

"Come on Fluttershy! Smile, you have nothing to worry about!"

"Yes I do, she might find me and embarrass me like she usually does" Both Obscurity and Pinkiepie knew that one of Sunset Shimmer's favourite hobbies was to make people look like fools, Fluttershy especially, Shimmer found her shy and sensitive behavour fun to mess with. "just avoid her, she can't be that bad to avoid!"

"She is! She's waiting around every corner!"

"Come on Fluttershy! I'm not leaving 'til I see you smile!"

"I'm fine Pinkie..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes..."

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"Yes!"

"Are you sure you're-"

"Yes! I'm fine Pinkie!"

"...I don't believe you" Pinkiepie smirked, Fluttershy looked away. "Just leave me alone, I'm fine" she said. Pinkiepie thought for a second then turned to Obscurity. "I wanna make her feel better!" she said, "I don't really care..." he said in the painfully honest way he always did, which made her giggle "Oh Obscurity, you're so-"

"Obscure...I know"

"Seriously though, I can't let her go into school like this! We need to help her!"

"Do whatever you want, I'm not helping, this isn't my business..." Pinkiepie then thought hard, how could she make Fluttershy smile in the five minutes there was left of the morning? An idea popped into her head, she smiled. Fluttershy sat down against the birch tree again, still thinking and worrying about Sunset Shimmer. When suddenly she felt herself being pulled upwards by something, Pinkiepie grabbed her under the armpits and held her against the tree. "Pinkie, what are you doing?" she said, "Nothing, just smile!" Pinkiepie giggled. Pinkiepie then started viscously tickling her soft armpits. Fluttershy started giggling uncontrollably, she tried to call for help but the sound of the other students talking drowned out her weak voice. "PINKIE! STAHAHAHAHAP! I TOLD YOU I'M OKAHAHAHAHAY!"

"Less talk, more smile!"

"PINKIE STAHP IT! I'M SERIOUS! NOHOHOHOHO, STAHAHAHAHAP!" Nobody seemed to notice her squirming underneath the tree, apart from Sunset Shimmer who had noticed the noise and turned to see what it was. "How pathetic, she's really that ticklish?" she said to herself, she then got an idea that made her smile, But this was no nice, happy smile, this was an evil smile. After Pinkie finally stopped, Fluttershy's weak body slid down the tree onto the ground, she was pooped. "Happy now?" Pinkiepie giggled, Fluttershy smiled and blushed while breathing heavily. After a minute or so of getting her breath back, Fluttershy finally got up and smiled at Pinkie. The bell then went, Fluttershy and Pinkie gathered their things and headed for class. "Seeya later Fluttershy!" Pinkie called, "Bye" said Fluttershy quietly. Obscurity, who was already gone by then, moved to Canterlot high after being expelled from his old school for breaking someone's arm in a fight, little did his head teacher know he was only reacting in self-defense. Fluttershy slowly pushed open the door, she had no idea that she was being watched by someone who now possessed the key to make her life a living hell.
