If there was ever a moment for running away from her friends, Fluttershy was contemplating on doing so now.

Aghast at the fact that yet more of her friends had witnessed this horrendously sexualized side of her life, Fluttershy drew into herself and blocked out the uninvited company from view by hiding behind a wall fashioned from her pink mane, while her hoofs were pressed firmly against her closed lids, as she struggled to keep her tears in check.

Despite this sadness, she still basked in the afterglow of her intense orgasm that still pulsed within her gut; swarming through her veins in a torrent of hormones that perpetuated her rather blissful smile.

After Pinkie Pie’s observation of the situation, the room fell into an abrupt silence that was only disturbed by the light drone of the now expelled 'egg' as it rocked side to side upon the carpet, awkwardly penetrating the silence.

Throughout these intense emotions Fluttershy experienced that swung wildly from sadness to complete happiness, Pinkie Pie ecstatically prodded the 'egg' with a hoof, gasping as she looked up to Vinyl Scratch, who only just now entered the room with the biggest shit-eating grin she could possibly formulate at that time.

“IT’S GONNA HATCH! Look-look! It’s moving! Actually… come to think of it…” Pinkie Pie lifted a hoof up to lightly tap against her lower lip as she pondered about a certain flaw in her logic, “I don’t think ponies lay eggs… but hey! What do I know? Maybe this is a pegasus thing... or maybe…”

Pointing an accusing hoof at the cowering Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie gasped in alarm.

“OR MAYBE you were secretly a chicken all along! And to think I didn’t even KNOW! My best friend. A chicken! Huh. Who woulda thunk?”

Fluttershy simply said nothing, while Vinyl had long clamped a hoof over her lips to prevent herself from laughing.

Still completely oblivious to the situation Pinkie Pie still marveled at the egg and its rather curious buzzing noise.

“Hmmmm… I wonder what it’s gonna be? A boy? A GIRL?! Wouldn’t it be awesome if it is a boy because then you could call it Flutterguy! Or Fluttercolt! Or Flutterstallion… Or Guyshy! Maybe... Guyfluttercoltstallionshy!” Pinkie scoffed at herself, frowning, “actually the last one was kind of silly. Scratch that one of the list. But the others are definite keepers!”

“Ahem,” Vinyl cleared her throat, which was somewhat mirthfully chuckled despite her attempt to prevent it, “Pinks… that isn’t an egg.”

“Whatchu talkin’ bout, Scratch?” Pinkie Pie intoned with a strange accent, raising an eyebrow while facing the DJ with a sharp glance, a hoof pointing to the wet, sleek coated object upon the ground before her, as she continued. “It is egg shaped. Egg coloured. AND whatever is inside of there is trying to get out! See? It's moving about! Therefore, it must be an egg! And as we all know stuff hatches from eggs; namely baby things—so this HAS to be an egg! What else could it possibly—”

“It’s a sex toy,” Vinyl deadpanned, “it just so happens to be egg shaped.”

Pinkie Pie looked back to the egg, her eyes widening.

“Oh... I see." She craned her head towards Vinyl, eyeing her suspiciously. "Soooooo... Fluttershy can't lay eggs?”

Vinyl really could not hide her amusement much longer. Instead of bursting out into laughter, she released a chuckled as she shook her head.

“No, Pinks, she can’t lay eggs. We’re Equine mammals, dude. We’re kinda not built for that kind of stuff you know? That’s a subtly different kind of plumbing if you catch my meaning.”

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!” Pinkie nodded with realization, though frowning only slightly, “that’s a shame. I was gonna suggest Egbert as a name for a colt.”

Fluttershy couldn’t find the amusement in Pinkie Pie’s ramblings, but she did finally manage to will herself to speak, even if was just barely above a whisper.

“P-Please… c-can you, um… go? I-If that’s okay with you… I’m… um…”

Finally, something else clicked in Pinkie Pie’s brain at exactly the wrong moment, completely ignoring Fluttershy's quiet request.

“Oh I get it! You were masturbating! Whoopsie! Sorry for barging in on you like that; it must had been REALLY embarrassing!”

Vinyl sensed the growing despair of the pony seated upon the floor, so she quickly moved into action to prevent Pinkie Pie for saying anything else… unnecessary.

“Uh… Pinks, I think we should—”

Intrigued by the device, Pinkie Pie nudged the vibrating egg with a hoof.

“Kind of a neat little thing really. So how do you use it? Is it like a dildo? Do you just kind of stick it in and pull it out and then sort of repeat until you’re satisfied or do you—”

Then something unexpected happened, which drew shocked faces from the DJ and the Party Pony towards Fluttershy, who was now glaring at them with the Stare, with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“JUST LEAVE!” Fluttershy yelled as she wept, “I-I d-don’t want my friends to see me like this! I tried so hard to hide it and… and…” Dropping her face into her hooves, Fluttershy’s body trembled as the accumulation of the past couple of days of unfortunate mishaps, finally got the better of her.

“I-I’m just a freak… I… I can’t stop it… I-I’m s-such a bad pony… j-just leave me alone…”

The two mares looked between each other, unsure on what to say.

“I can’t s-stop it… I-I try… a-and sometimes it hurts… I can’t take it anymore… I’m s-s-so, dirty… I-I don’t want my f-friends t-to see me like t-this…”

Pinkie Pie had lost her smile and her usual happy demeanour. Seeing a friend like this was simply heart breaking for any pony, but it was especially more so for Pinkie. Only now did she realize her misunderstanding of the situation only served to harm Fluttershy in the end.

She had unknowingly and innocently contributed to those tears... and that simply will not do.

Approaching Fluttershy, Pinkie moved to embrace the weeping pony into a loving cuddle, gently kissing the weeping mare’s forehead tenderly as she spoke.

“Hey...” Pinkie soothed softly, “don’t say that, silly filly. You’re not a bad pony and you are definitely not filthy. You're kinda clean all things considering you live with all kinds of animals but I digress—we’re really sorry for not knocking... it was really rude of us and it won’t happen again, but, you don’t have to worry about what think about you because we all love you no matter who you are or what you do. So cheer up, yeah? Can you turn that frown upside down for Pinkie Pie?”

Vinyl opened her mouth to retort that it was Pinkie Pie that had barged on into Fluttershy’s cottage without permission, but she let this one slide. She simply observed the two best friends as her mind replayed the events and attempted to fathom why Fluttershy would think so ill of herself over the situation.

Many ponies have been caught masturbating in the past and yes, while it is very embarrassing for the one committing the act and just as much so for the observer, Vinyl could not quite believe that this alone was the cause of Fluttershy’s sudden breakdown.

But then again, this was Fluttershy. She can be rather fragile at times.

Fluttershy merely glanced away at Pinkie’s kind words, gnawing at her trembling lips.

“Why do you think you are a freak?” Pinkie Pie questioned softly with a smile, moving a hoof under Fluttershy’s chin so that she could grab her attention by shifting that gaze back to her own. “It’s completely natural to do it, you know. I do it almost five times a day! So that must make a super-duper freak.”

Vinyl muttered to herself under her breath at that.

“Maybe that’s why she’s so fricken happy all the time…”

“I-it’s not that…” Fluttershy rubbed at her eyes with her hooves, looking up at Pinkie Pie’s smiling face. “I… have… this… uh…”

Perhaps it was because Pinkie was one of her best friend, or maybe it was because the pony just had that type of magnetism about her to suck up all the despair surrounding her and replacing it with laughter and smiles, but no matter how sad or scared Fluttershy was; in almost any situation, Pinkie Pie’s smile always somehow managed to calm her down.

“I-I’ve… got…” With her afterglow long since subsided, Fluttershy could almost think coherently again and so with a sigh she simply shook her head. “I just… don’t know how to explain this…”

Pinkie Pie smiled. “That’s okay, you don’t have to talk about it if makes you sad… but, maybe talking to just us about it will make you feel a little better? Maybe we could even help you but whatever it is you say, we Pinkie Promise we will never tell another pony or judge you.”

Vinyl nodded along with Pinkie’s words, finally agreeing with her.

“We wouldn't exactly be any good as friends if we didn't try and help you. I apologize for laughing earlier as well. It was just… well, ya know… unexpected.”

Glancing up to the two mares, Fluttershy released a sigh and steeled herself for the onslaught of questions that was to come. She had not told a single soul since she had developed the condition, as Fluttershy has expertly hidden it for all these years and yet, only now as the triggers were getting worse, she was finally contemplating in confiding with somepony about it.

Was there ever going to be such a perfect opportunity as now?

“I’ve… got, um… a condition called—oh my, this is so embarrassing to say… um… Persistent, Genital… um, Arousal… Disorder…”

Pinkie Pie looked absolutely confused, however a slight gasp from Vinyl Scratch drew both the ponies’ eyes onto the DJ, who looked visibly stunned at the confession from the meek mare.

“You’re kiddin’ me right?”

Fluttershy was not quite sure what to reply in response to that.

“U-um, n-no?”

“Wow. That’s just weird. It’s like we are on two opposite ends of the scale,” Vinyl commented with a chuckle, which only drew even more confused glances from the pair.

Shaking her head, Vinyl lifted her signature glasses up and away from her deep magenta eyes that almost appeared red from a distance.

“I’ve got Anorgasmia.”

Both ponies remained perplexed as they regarded Vinyl.

Sighing, Vinyl rubbed a hoof on the back of her head as her cheeks lightly flushed a shade of red.

“I can’t exactly... orgasm.”

Author's Note

What, no clop in this chapter?!

A shame indeed.

Have some feels and a minor plot twist instead.

The next chapter is the FINAL chapter I am somewhat sad to announce.

It will be ridden with clop however.

And comedy.

Can't forget comedy.
