Chapters Thud thud thud thud thud thud! Who could that be? she wondered. It didn't sound like and of her friends, or-in fact-anypony she knew. And why would they be outside? There was currently a huge downpour and anypony who got caught in the middle of it would be drenched.Boom! Changeling. Thud thud thud thud thud thud!
"So, what's your name?" Fluttershy asked as her and the changeling took seats across from each other near the dining room table. The pegasus had helped fix her new guest with bandages and painkillers after giving him some food and water.Authors note: thanks for reading the intro to my fanfiction! I just wanted to say that im begining a project where me and a few others will animate it!
When Fluttershy opened her tired eyes, the first thing she noticed was the silence. It wasn't raining. Looking through the window, she saw the normally cloud covered moon lightly illuminating the otherwise pitch black town. However, that wasn't the only source of light in her home, as the pegasus could see a faint yellow glow from a crack in her door. For a moment she wondered, Where's that light coming from? Then, as if a switch had been flipped in her head, everything came reeling back to her. How she had found Differ and how she had offered to let him stay. How after their small discussion Fluttershy had prepared him the guest room in which the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders' had used last-where the light seemed to be coming from.
When her eyes finally adjusted to the darkness, Fluttershy could see that the clock read 12:30.The pegasus figured it was time to see what was going on. She pulled the soft blanket to the side before swinging her hooves over and getting up. Carefully, she walked through her room, attempting to not trip over anything in the blackness of the night. Eventually she managed to get out into the hallway, where she saw the light pouring out of the small space between the door and the wall. Fluttershy slowly opened it, doing so quietly since if Differ was asleep she would wake him. Inside she saw that the bed sheets were on the ground in a messy pile, with the changeling lying on the mattress bare. His eyes were open and starring at the ceiling, yet they looked glassy. As if his body was there but his mind , his thoughts , were somewhere far, far away...Hush now, quiet now It's time to lay your sleepy head Hush now, quiet now It's time to go to bed...
By the time the small song ended, Differ's eyes were drooping, almost falling into the deep chasm of sleep.
The sun rose over Ponyville the next morning, destroying what was left of the dreary weather. Cold dew still covered the lush grasses surrounding the town, making them shine in the light. Now it was 'officially summer', as the fillies had said hapily. Ponies and unicorns played in the fields and dirt, while pegasi flew joyfully in the sky. The air was fresh and clean in Fluttershy's lungs as she trotted through the town. After waking up and realizing they didn't have enough food, she decided that was a good enough excuse as any to go outside. The pegasus left Differ a note, grabbed a few bits, and left. Now she trotted through the market, checking out the food. So far she had six cherries, eight apples, a dozen eggs, a bag full of bagels, two donuts, and three oranges. When she checked her list the only things left were lettuce, carrots, and strawberries.I'm just hiding a fugitive, helping him illegally, you know, the usual. "Oh, well the animals are all kind of restless from being held inside so long because of the storm. I'm planning on letting them run about today."That was close...
Another author's note: Sorry if chapters are too short, but it's much easier for me to have them like this.
I realized it was a bit rushed on the last chapter, so I deleted it and made this one instead. And longest chapter yet FTW
Fluttershy set the groceries down quietly. If Differ was still asleep she wouldn't wake him up. After finishing packing all her supplies away, the yellow pegasus decided to check on her guest. Silent as a mouse, she crept up the stairs towards the room. Soon she reached the spot in which she had stood just the night before. She silently opened the door and stepped into the room. Everything was how it was supposed to be. The bookcase, the books, the poster, and even the bed sheets were folded. The only thing missing was the changeling.
"Bon appetite." Fluttershy said jokingly, handing Differ a plate. On it was an omelette, bread, a tomato, and a few strawberries.
After their late breakfast, Fluttershy and Differ were now sitting together on the couch. The pegasus was unwrapping his bandages slowly.Rubbing Alcohol .
The sound of running water echoed through the house. Fluttershy sat outside the bathroom, waiting for her patient to finish. As she sat there, here mind wandered off into a day dream.
They were together, Fluttershy and Differ. They were lying on the couch, their lips meeting in a long, passionate kiss. She held him close to her, keeping their bodies close as the it continued.
What the... Feelings long submerged were coming up. No, no she couldn't be falling for him! He was a changeling, she was a pegasus! Two completely different beings! It was stupid, it was not allowed!I'm just falling head over hooves in love with you.
"So, what can I do to help around the house?" Differ asked. New, clean, white bandages wrapped around his chest and arm. The two sat together in chairs next to the dinning table, discussing what the plan was.was tough and needed someone strong, and Differ did have some muscles...
Snip Snip Snip
"Hey!" Fluttershy called across the yard. Differ turned to see the yellow pegasus holding two glasses of lemonade. He licked his lips, imagining the taste of the nice, cold drink going down his throat.
The two of them raced around the back yard, laughing happily. Each of them held something that contained water. Differ held a bucket while the pegasus held a few water bottles. Every once in a while they would catch up to each other and spray some of their supply on each other, before racing away. They felt like fillies again. Fluttershy leapt in the air, her wings spread out. Now she hovered above the changeling, who was still laughing.
Sorry for such a short chapter, but I promise to make a new one very soon. Also Differ is in changeling form when they kiss. Also here's Livestream for the animation work
Rainbow Dash sat on the couch in which Differ had sat only an hour before, glaring at her best friend. Her childhood friend. Her friend that was just kissing that... thing .he has a name, now, Differ was running from the place where all the changelings were. A apparently there was chaos, and he left..."
Fluttershy told her friend everything that happened-the lullaby, the bandages, up to the part where the blue pegasus saw them kiss.
When she came to, Fluttershy was still lying on the couch. Differ sat nearby, tapping his hoof on the armrest.
They stood at the door Differ had arrived in. The changeling looked horrible, like he would break down any seccond. Tears streaked down Fluttershy's cheeks. Neither one wanted to leave the other.
A month latter...
Ding dong! Ding Dong!
Dear Fluttershy, It's been a month hasn't it? Since I had to leave you? Believe it or not, I'm still here. You just have to keep a close eye out, and then you can find me. -Differ
Fluttershy dropped the letter. He was still here, and he never left. Now her mind went over the past month. Her gardener had been acting extra nice, Mr. Cake randomly dropped by and gave her a cupcake, and Derpy had winked at her when giving the letter. Differ was still here. Fluttershy could still get him back. And in the first time in a month, Fluttershy smiled.
