Discovery

It’s not good to get used to blacking out every ten hours, and I was just waking up from my third. The first thing I noticed was a foreign mass that was resting on my chest, as my eyes adjusted to the light I realized that Fluttershy was laying on top of me fast asleep.

Ah, come on Michael! You promised yourself no romantic relationships with ponies, it’s not right! Well it could have been different, just one friend using the other friend as a pillow! As the voices continued to argue in my head, I got a good close up look of Fluttershy. What can I say, she is absolutely adorable. As she slept her body moved slowly up and down, letting out a teeny tiny whistle every time she breathed out. Gah so cute! What really got me was the tiny drop of drool that was beginning to form on her bottom lip.

Coming back to reality I quickly surveyed my surroundings, I was still in the Apple family barn with morning sunlight streaming through open windows giving me the impression that it was around 10:00. We were the only ones left, nopony was to be seen. My eye then caught sight of a little note beside my head, it read:

                     Dear Michael,

                     You seemed very comfortable at the moment so ill let you get some sleep, now I bet you’re wondering why Fluttershy is laying on top of you, well after we lost you to hard cider you started doing some strange things, one of which was making out with your ice sculpture. Now when Fluttershy said she was tired and was ready to leave you quickly insisted that she should stay and use yourself as a pillow. Fluttershy was reluctant, but eventually gave in to your pleas. And that is why there is a sleeping pegasus on top of you!

                     PS-

                     Spike and I will be leaving for Canterlot at noon to take care of some royal business so do try to behave while we are gone.

                    Your friend- Twilight

                   Wow, the first time I ever got dead drunk and it’s with the characters from My Little Pony. Not wanting to disturb her, I gently picked Fluttershy up and set her on a bale of hay next to me. As I stood up it felt like I just got hit by a train, project hangover commencing. I managed to drag my self outside and was met by the evil sun that was beating me with heat and penetrating my eyes with light.

“Well howdy there partner!” yelled a familiar southern voice. I turned to see Applejack pulling a cart full of freshly picked, or should I say kicked, apples.

“Hey Applejack.” I yawned. “Getting an early start I see."

“Haha early?” laughed AJ. “An early start for me is three in tha mornin sugarcube!”

I shuddered at thought of having to get up that early in the morning, anything before seven is a struggle for me.

“So how you two lovebirds doing in there?” teased Applejack.

“What? No!” I blurted out, “What gives you that idea?”

“Well the fact that you two were snuggling each other all night!” answered Applejack. “And that puppy story you told her pretty much made her fall in love with you”

“Uh, what puppy story?” I blanked.

“You know! The one day you just volunteered at the animal shelter, and you were walking home and you saw a puppy sitting in the street, then a four wheeled motor vehicle came and you risked your life to save the puppy. Fluttershy was practically in tears when you were done,” explained Applejack.

Shit! I am in deep trouble; now Fluttershy thinks I’m some animal hero, no wonder she’s in love with me.

“Um yeah it’s all coming back to me.” I lied. “Well I'll be seeing you Applejack  bye!”

                     "Okay sugarcube, just let me know when the wedding is!" Applejack joked.

I then sprinted back towards the barn. Okay Michael, all you got to do is tell her the truth, but this could be our chance to win her over! We are not going to have a relationship with a pony, and then you want to lie on top off it all. Oh everyone tells a white lie now and again, what’s the harm? As the demon and angel continued to go at it in my brain I came upon the spot where I had rested Fluttershy, but she was gone. Damn it! Doing a quick search around the barn I came to the conclusion that she did indeed left. Seeing no point in staying around I then made my way back to Twilights tree house.

The sun was high in the sky so it was round noon meaning that Twilight and spike were on their way to Canterlot. As I approached Twilights door I noticed a little yellow note resting on the ground in front. I picked it up and realized it was addressed to me, the note smelled just like Fluttershy, like a big mush of flowers all rolled into one scent. I started to get goose bumps as I opened it. It read:

Dear Michael,

                     The story you told me really touched my heart in a way that no other pony has ever done before, now I know you’re not a pony but you seem like a nice human. I was sad when I woke up and you weren’t there, but I’m sure you had your reasons. Anyways it was nice to officially meet you last night, and if you every want to meet again, you are always welcome to come by my cottage.

                     Love, Fluttershy.

                     God even her letters are drop dead adorable. I then opened the door and walked in, my eyes meeting the very comfortable couch. Laying down I tried to devise a plan that would get me out of this mess. My one goal is to not make Fluttershy cry, that’s just something everyone needs to put on their never do this list. If I make her cry then I won’t be able to forgive myself.
