Intro and Extro

Fluttershy

    I sat there on my couch, sipping away at the tea I had recently made. It was nice since it was both healthy and relaxing down the throat. I smiled and hummed to nothing but the silence. Discord had finally gave in on going into town for the day, which was actually a piece of cake.

    A knock caused me to stop enjoying the moment. Who could that be? I got up slowly and opened the door with a rather heavy sigh. I then realized who it was. Cheese Sandwich was on my doorstep. What the hay? I didn't exactly want to have anything to do with this colt at the moment. He was way different than me!

    "Hi...I um, never got to catch your name," Cheese surprisingly said nervously. I was baffled that he had turned around and came here to visit me. Was that it, did he just want my...name?

    "It's Fluttershy," I yawned and my words stretched.

    "Oh, well, Fluttershy. I was wondering maybe if you wanted to go out sometime," Cheese asked me. I almost laughed out loud, but fortunately didn't. Me? Go out with this stallion? Fat chance.

    "I'm sorry, I don't know you. Plus, the fact that you don't know my name is probably the exact reason I am not going to do that," I ended up giggling. He didn't look at all embarrassed and he lifted his head up.

    "Well, maybe we could?" Cheese smiled brightly. I looked at him for a moment and thought for a second. He could be my friend, that would be alright. But, the first move he makes is the first he see's the angry Fluttershy.

    "Sure. Tomorrow we are all having a picnic at the edge of Ponyville. Please, come," I said sweetly and closed the door. Well, that was a little...awkward. I can't believe it though! I talked straight to his face right then. That sorry excuse for a trainer must' have really helped somehow? I shook my head and went back onto the couch. I then took a peak out the window and saw Cheese had already gone. Well, one less thing to worry about. I chuckled and sipped my tea and sighed enjoyably.

    At this moment, I thought for some cake. Shoot, that would be super nice. I got up hastily and set my tea next to Discord's 'lamp'. I went int the kitchen and stood there for a second. Make cake, or go out into town and accidentally bump into Cheese? I put my apron over my head and swiped it of the remaining debris that remained on it.

    I spent an hour eating batter, getting flour on my hooves, and mixing. Finally, I had all that out of the way and I gently pushed the cake in it's carrier, and closed the oven. I smiled in triumph and stretched out my limbs. I checked the time and my smile turned into a frown. It was four already?

    I decided on whether to get Discord or not. I also then wondered what he was up to. That got me taking off my apron and taking only a little bit of time to wash my hooves and face. I went out the door and at a steady pace went to Twilight's library. I grinned a little on the way.

    My destination then was right in front of me and I knocked on the door once or twice. Twilight came at the door and smiled brightly as she saw me.

    "Is Discord here?" I asked.

    "Huh? No," Twilight furrowed her brows. Darnit.

    "Oh, okay...well, if you see him, send him home. Say I'm making cake," I sighed. I turned around and heard the door close. Well, it was worth a try. I thought for awhile, trying to think where else he could have been. No ideas came to mind where he was and I then realized I had a cake in the oven.

    I galloped home and bolted inside the house. I checked the cake and it was actually still baking. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me. Of course it had only been about 15 minutes since I left. Sheesh, was I paranoid.

Cheese Sandwich

    That was the most embarrassing thing I've ever done. Dear Celestia, I'm stupid! I smacked my own face with my hoof and sighed. How could there be even a remote chance that she would go out with me when I just met her? And the worst part, she doesn't even know me! No mare had ever turned me down like that, no matter who it was.

    I kicked around rocks as I sat on the mountain sorrowfully. Yep, this was as good as it got. Living high up in a mountain near Appleloosa, watching hours of sunrises and sunsets. And as stupid as it sounded, it was actually relaxing. It took his mind off things like Fluttershy.

    Maybe she was right, she is right. I shouldn't just expect every mare in Equestria accept my invitation just because I have my looks. To be honest, I was really self-conscious about myself sometimes. That's why I live up in this mountain, high and isolated. Quiet and filled with no others that were there to laugh.

    Don't get me wrong, laughter is a beautiful thing--it's what makes life. But, sometimes, It feels like they're laughing at me...and it's not a comfortable thing. When Fluttershy nearly burst out laughing, I felt like hiding and running away hollering. I'm scared to death of every day life and I still go out of my way to see it. To...feel it.

    The one feeling I've never truly felt was love, but It didn't really matter. I used to be seeking and begging for it, but after my teen years, it kind just--wore off. Fluttershy, it's not like I'm actually in love with her...just, got this feeling that bubbles in my stomach when I saw her. Maybe it was just something in the food or juice...
