Find Something to Keep Life Alive

Rarity knocked politely on the cottage door, Fluttershy came to the door, and smiled. "Hello Rarity, it's nice to see that you stopped by. What brings you here? Does Opal need her monthly grooming again?" Fluttershy's voice was weak and timid, "I just got back from Applejack's, and she told me that taking care of critters would be a nice break from being a seamstress." Rarity said, trying her best to smile. "Oh, that's wonderful. I could use some help with my animal friends, they are a handful sometimes." Fluttershy gestured for Rarity to come inside of the small cottage.

Fluttershy pointed a hoof to a small squirrel that was sitting on the green sofa in the corner of the room, "You could help me groom Mister Squirrel, if that's okay with you," Rarity made a comb appear with her magic, and trotted over to the sofa Mister Squirrel was sitting on.

She tried brush the squirrels fur, but it ran away before she could. "Now, Mister Squirrel, you don't run away from our friends." Fluttershy nudged the hiding squirrel, who was sitting under the couch curled up in a tiny ball. He crossed his arms in protest, Rarity sighed "I guess I just am not fit too take care of animals after all." Rarity began to walk out the door in defeat. "Wait! Rarity, maybe you should go get help from Rainbow Dash. I heard she was at Sugarcube Corner today to pick up some cupcakes for the get together Applejack is having at her barn tonight. You could go see her, I bet she is still on her way there now." Fluttershy smiled.

"That is a wonderful idea, thank you ever so much for your help Fluttershy." Rarity trotted out of the door, towards  Sugarcube Corner.
