Love Songs and Butterflies

        The blue sky seemed to rule the surroundings around Summer Flight Camp, alongside the sun's glamorous glow upon a mid morning atmosphere. The children were allowed to roam about the campus, laughing and playing they were.

There was one particular girl with long, skinny hooves which were decorated with a gentle yellow coat. Her pink mane covering her left eye as she held a checkerboard flag in her mouth, unsure about the event taking place.

Rainbow Dash had the nerve to challenge the two brutes harassing Fluttershy to a race,  "A way of defending her honor" as Dashy sees it. As for Fluttershy, she honestly didn't know what to expect from this. But overall, she seemed like that about everything.

The three racers got into position while Fluttershy raises the flag upward, her eyes close with a since of prayerful guidance. Just in case she somehow plunders to her death.

Well, she almost did; The yellow coated filly had spun like a top and fell to her doom, causing her to tumble down below cloud level. Her shrieks echo across the sky as if her tiny life span had flashed before her eyes.

She fell not on the cold hard ground, but in a bundle of fluttering butterflies as they carried her with ease.

As she was surrounded by the presents of woodland creatures, Fluttershy heard a loud CRASH from one of the nearby trees. She gasps and runs as fast as her hooves could handle.

The young filly came to one of the tallest trees in the forest, just 50 steps outside the large glade. A white pegasus had it's head stuck

in the tree's brown, thick bark, struggling for release.

Fluttershy tried to tug the Pegasus free, yet it was useless. She thought for a moment;

           "How could I get this poor filly out without ripping his head off?" She asked herself as that poor foal thrusts his four hooves against the tree, breaking free at last.

It was a colt! His entire head gorged in tree sap and a couple of pine needles. He stood up and tried to open his eyes, yet it seemed pointless. Not only was he forced to not see the world, but his mouth was sealed as well.

"Oh my" Fluttershy gasps and leads her patient to a small stream. She lays his head down on her lap, regardless of the colt's stickiness, and splashes water directly on it, rubbing it in.

Soon the sap was no more, and the colt's eyes could open. His hazel eyes memorized his rescuer, hearts were practically floating around her.

"Excuse me, miss? Are you ok?" He asked, still resting upon her warm lap. Fluttershy blinks, thus breaking those floating hearts in two. "Huh?.......oh yes, I'm fine." She smiles.

  "Ok. Thanks for the clean up, you have no idea how many times I crash into stuff like that." He chuckles as he stands on his own four hooves. His black, silky mane now covered his left eye while he shakes off the water remaining from his face.

"Your welcome....uhh..." She stops and searches for his name.

"Name's Crashie." He smiles and reaches for a hoof shake. Fluttershy holds back, nervously poking at the ground.

"Umm...my name is Fluttershy" she whimpers.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"Fluttershy" whispers again

"Ok, well....thanks again for the help. I owe you one." Crashie hugs Fluttershy and flies away, completely out of her sight.
