Chapters Fluttershy was walking through town heading towards the ponyville hospital. When she got there she went straight to the front desk. The mare at the dask looked up from her book and gave Fluttershy a smile.
"Hello miss shy are you here for more bandages? " the mare asked.
"No" Fluttershy answered
"Are you hurt"
"Something like that"
"Then what is it?" The mare asked.
Fluttershy hesitated for a moment.
"I think I may be pr- preg-" she stuttered.
"What is it"
"I I"
She took a deep breath.
"I think I may be pregnant" she finally answered.
the nurse at the desk nodded. and went into the back.
"you may go in now" she said giving the Pegasus a smile.
"thank you" Fluttershy said walking in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well miss shy it seems thank you are indeed inspecting" nurse red heart said.
Fluttershy was beyond scared. how could she be pregnant with big macs foal? well she knew how but how will the rest react how will big mac react.
Fluttershy was walking into sugarcube corner for lunch with her friends. when she walked in the pink earth pony known as pinkie pie rushed by with a face full of tears. she wandered over to her friends at a table in the corner of the restaurant.
"Whats wrong with pinkie?" she asked them.
"We all just found out that she is pregnant with her fourth foal" rarity explained.
"Yeah and somponies was being a little judge mental about it" twilight said all of them turning to AJ and rainbow dash.
"I'm jus' sayin' that havin' another foal is too much. the mare is only twenty one" Apple jack said
"Yeah I mean it's bad enough she got knocked up at seventeen. but twenty one! one foal is bad enough not even for a twenty three year old" RD explained.
Fluttershy thought for a second. She was only twenty-two .She walked upstairs heading for pinkie's old room. there she found her friend crying on the guest bed with pound and pumpkin cake comforting her. When they saw shy come in they left it up to her. fluttershy sat on the edge of the bed and started stroking her deflated dull pink mane.
"Please stop crying pinkie your gonna make me cry" Fluttershy says.
"I know its just that i thought that they would be happy that i found sompony that loves me" pinks said.
"I know how you feel. i remember in high school when i told rainbow that i liked thunder lane" fluttershy joked "i thought she would be overjoyed but she wasn't"
"Really?" Pinkie asked picking her face up from the pillow. "what happened after that"
"He actually liked Cloud chaser so i dropped it" she said.
They began swapping stories like when they were younger.
"Hey do you wanna help me plan my baby shower" pinkie asked.
Fluttershy's heart dropped.
I-i can't" she said
Why not"
Because i'm leaving Ponyville" she said
"WHAT NO W-WHY! what happened" pinkie said the tears coming back.
"I'm pregnant with Big Mac's foal and the others just said that being pregnant at my age is awful just awful. you have to pinkie promise that you won't tell" she said tears streaming down her face.
"But you can't we can do som-"
"JUST PINKIE PROMISE!" Fluttershy yelled.
"Alright i p-pinkie promise" pinkie said doing the motions while crying even harder.
"Okay i will miss you and the others good-"
"NO! d-don't say goodbye lets just say see you later" Pinkie said with a sad smile.
"See you later Pinkameana Diane pie" flutters said
"See you later Flutter Heart shy" pinkie said.
"I never told you my real name" Fluttershy exclaims.
"Just a hunch" pinkie said smiling.
With that the friends hugged each other. Fluttershy then opened the balcony door and flew off towards the setting sun. The door then busted open and the others came in and saw pinkie sitting by the balcony.
"Pinkie what was all that yelling where's Fluttershy?" twilight asked.
Pinkie turned and smiled.
"Don't worry guys she will be back" pinkie said.
She then turned back looking at the setting sun.
"Maybe later"
Six years later...
A little Pegasus filly was fluttering around cloudsdale. She had an almost coral red coat with a long light tan mane. The came to a cloud home covered with flowers which is very rare in the town.
"Mommy i'm home!" she yelled throughout the home.
She heard no answer and began wandering around looking for her mother. She entered the kitchen and found a note stuck to the door of the fridge.
"Dear Breezy, went to stay at canterlot. I already told Auntie pink that you were going to stay with her. See you on Monday love Mommy." Autumn Breeze read aloud. " Yay auntie's house" she says with joy as she flew up the stairs.
grabbing her saddle bag and putting her items in them like her pillow, her favorite book, and a bear she had since she was a foal. With that she headed out the door heading for ponyville.
After a thirty minute flight she was there. She had never been to ponyville it was always her aunt coming to cloudsdale with a spell. She was pulled out of her thoughts when somepony crashed into her. She crashed into the ground along with the stranger.
"Hey what gives!" Breezy said shaking the dirt off.
"I was trying to warn you but you didn't move" the blue maned colt said.
"Oh hello my name is Autumn Breeze but ponies call me Breeze or Autumn" Autumn said holding a hoof out.
"i'm rainbow drift but you can call me Drift" The colt said standing up and taking Autumn's hoof.
Drift was a cyan colored colt with a navy blue spiked mane with little hairs of the rainbow. His cutie mark was a cloud the color of a rainbow.
"why were you flying so fast? more importantly how?" She asked.
"Because my parents are in the wonderbolts. my mom is rainbow dash the top flier and my dad is soarin" The colt explains.
"oh my GOSH! the wonderbolts are my favorite. I remember at my first show i actually ran out into the field" Autumn squeaks.
"ooh that was you?" Drift questions.
"uh huh"breeze blushed "I should get going I have to meet my Aunt at sugarcube corner do you know where that is?"
"of coarse i do i was just about to go there but i need to stop by my friend's houses so we can all go together" the colt explains.
"that's okay I can come with you. i'm gonna need a tour seeing as i'm going to be here for a week" She said.
"awesome lets go!" Drift said taking off.
He looked back to see that the red Pegasus was standing in the same spot looking at the ground.
"I've never touched grass before or dirt it was always cloud" she said laying down.
"Come on your aunt is probably worried" He said.
"oh i'm sorry it's just my first time on the ground. And i'm a weak flier so i'm a little drained" Autumn explained.
"Well since as we are a little far from the town I can carry you" Drift said landing.
"oh thank you" breeze said thanked.
The colt landed and rapped his hooves around the Pegasus's torso and failed to lift off.
"I've never met a Pegasus this heavy" He said huffing.
"Well I am part earth pony"
"How? I thought you lived in cloudsdale" He said.
"My mother used to live here where she met my dad but something happened and I never met him" She explains
"I get it anyway four years of training don't fail me now" Drift says flapping his wings as hard as he can.
"here i'll try to help" Autumn said.
She started flapping her own wings and soon they were off the ground. they both landed at a boutique.
"Come on this is where my friend gemstone lives" He said opening the door for Autumn.
When the door opened a bell rang.
"I'm sorry but my mother is not here right now" Said a unicorn filly with a white coat and a curled blue mane
She came around the corner with a book in her magic that read 'sewing for fashioned foals'.
"Gem it's me and i have a new friend" Drift said.
"Hello i'm Gemstone" The filly said shaking Autumn's hoof.
"i'm Autumn Breeze but call me Breeze" The red filly introduced.
"My goodness I love your mane you must tell me what your strategy is for getting it so long!" the unicorn exclaims.
"Here we go listen gem we don't have time for this Autumn has to get to sugarcube corner and i'm giving her a tour along the way and we still have to get Midnight and brave Apple" Drift said.
"i'm so sorry Drift you know how i get. Now you will need to tell me later but we still have places to go and be" Gem said grabbing Breeze's hoof and pulling her out the door.
"urr let her go she can walk!" Drift yelled flying after the two.
This was going to be a long day for Autumn.
The trio of foals were making their way down the cobblestone roads. Breeze was sorta limping due to Gemstone holding her hoof so tight half of the trip. They came to a castle.
"Your friend lives in a castle!" Breeze exclaims.
"Her mom is the princess of friendship, Twilight sparkle" Drift explains.
They knocked on the big crystal door and waited for an answer. The door opened to a teenage dragon.
"Oh my celestia it's a baby dragon" Breeze coos.
"You sound just like my old friend Fluttershy" The Drake says.
"Really because- heey how do you know my-"
"We don't have time for questions. Spike can you please get Midnight" Gemstone pleads.
Spike huffs at the unicorn and walks back inside.
"What was that all about?" The red filly questions.
"He always had a crush on my mother and when she began dating my father he still believed that he had a chace to win her back the he found out that I was on the way. So he thinks that it's my fault" Gem explains.
They heard the castle door open and turned to see. Out came a midnight blue filly with a black mane that had blue streaks in it.
"Hey guess you do realize that I was sleeping right?" The filly questions.
"Why would you be sleeping at this time of day?" Breeze asked.
"I'm half nocturnal. And who might you be? "
"My name is Autumn Breeze but please call me Breeze" The red filly introduces herself.
"Nice to meet you I'm Midnight but call me Middy"
"Hey that's not fair, when I first called you that you smacked me in the head!" Drift complained.
"Because you annoy me. Now I believe we have somwhere to be" The alicorn reminds walking away with the others except Drift who stood fluttering with his mouth agape.
"Why must everypony shoot me down" he said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The foal came to an apple farm called Sweet apple acres. The started towards the house in the middle of the apple tree forest but stopped when Drift put his wings up to stop. He put his ear to the ground and his eyes widened.
"STAMPEDE RUUUN!" He yelled zooming away
They heard fast hooves coming at them. Many hooves. They turned to see many cows coming at them before taking off. But Breeze didn't run she closed her eyes. The others stopped and turn to there friend who they hadn't even known for a day.
"What is she doing. She will killed!" Middy said.
Drift went back and grabbed Breeze but she was too heavy. He looked around but he didn't know what to do so he just hugged her. Breeze then opened her eyes and did something that only her mother could.
She used the stare.
All of the cows stopped and looked at her in shock. They were so stiff you would have thought that they were statues.
"Hey what is happenin' up there" said a colt's country voice.
From behind the cows there was a brown colt with a blonde mane pulled back into a short ponytail, wich looked more like a tiny shrub and a cutie mark of an apple in a star.
He jumped over the herd of cows and ran to the group. Everyone looked at the two hugging pegasi.
"Wow Drift I never thought you felt that way about Breeze" Gemmy joked.
Drift and Breeze looked at each other before tearing away and blushing.
"Um this has been nice and all but I'm supposed to meet my aunt in THREE MINUTES!" The red filly exclaims.
They all ran heading for the bakery. The foals made it in the door but they crashed into each other and began laughing.
"It looks like you guys had fun" said a voice from behind.
They all turned to see their mothers.
"Yeah it's been a weird day and we made a new friend" said Gem.
The main six minus one turned to look at Breeze.
"I can see that. What is your name little one" Apple jack questions.
"Autumn Breeze. I'm staying with my aunt for a few days"
"Who is your aunt?" Twilight sparkle asked.
"Here she comes now" Says the red filly pointing in the direction of the counter.
The pink pony walked over to the group with a nervous look and her youngest filly behind her.
Autumn gasped and so did the filly behind her aunt.
"SUPRISE!" Breeze yells excitedly.
"BREEZY!" her cousin returns.
Surprise was a snow white Pegasus with a puffy blonde mane much like her mother's that is pink and her cutie mark was a balloon shaped cloud with a lighting bolt on the bottem to act as the balloon's string.
They ran over to each other and hugged.
"I missed you so much" They both said.
Everyone except the foals turned their attention to pinkie.
"I didn't know your sister had a foal" rarity said.
"Well um yeah she did I mean" pinkie stuttered beginning to sweat.
She then began to think back at the promise that she had made to Fluttershy seven years ago.
'I made a promise to not tell them that big Mac was the father and that she was pregnant she didn't say anything about telling them who Autumn's mother was! I need to tell them it has gone on too long!' . She thought.
"Fluttershy is her mom"
Everyone gasped and rarity fainted.
Fluttershy was racing through the sky heading for ponyville. She had just gotten the letter from twilight explaining everything.
"I said no and that is final" Steel hoof a gray earth pony mare with a short pink mane.
Fluttershy was sitting at a table in front of her mother in a home that can fit the whole apple family. Fluttershy began to tear up.
"I've never ever in my life begged for anything we don't even need that much. My daughter your grandfilly she-"
"I AM NOT RELATED YOUR ONE NIGHT STAND MASTAKE" The mare said slamming her hooves on the table.
Before either of them could say anything else steel hoof's butler came in with a scroll. Steel hoof snatched the letter out of his magic and scanned it before looking back at her daughter and passed the letter over.
It read:
Dear Fluttershy, it pains me to know that you kept a secret from us. I thought we could trust you but now we are having second thoughts. Why didn't you tell us you have a daughter? What happened six years ago. We all are wondering what happened to our Fluttershy. Autumn Breeze is a very beautiful filly. She reminds us of you so much. We all need to meet you. There is no backing out she is staying with me until you show. We will be waiting your princess, Twilight sparkle of friendship.
Twilight must be very upset. She had never adressed herself as 'princess' to her friends. Then again what kind of friend hides a secret for seven years.
Fluttershy fought back tears as the small town she once called home came into view. She remembers the scene too well. The night Breeze was made about four or five hours before. The quiet streets of the town as she and Rainbow flew over them and the dark houses as they went past. But this time was different.
This time she wanted to avoid her Rainbiw maned friend.
She went straight for The castle and flew around it looking for the right room until she found it. Her daughter lying asleep on the bed in the guest room. Lucky for her twilight declined the princesses offer for her own royal gards so the palace was watch free. She quietly opened the window and creeped inside. She made her way to the side of the bed and gently nudged the filly waking her up.
"Huh mommy?" The filly questions.
"Yes it's me breezy. You have to be quiet we're going home" Fluttershy hushed her filly.
She hugged her and let the filly climb onto her back. As Fluttershy went to open the window an alarm went off stardaling the pegasi. Steel bars came down on the windows and the doors.
"You know trespassing is a serious crime. They say about three years in jail but seeing as this is a castle should add another twenty years" said a voice from behind.
Fluttershy turned to see her old friends . The main six.
"Fluttershy how could you after years of trusting each other you run off without telling us a thing" Rainbow said with the look of hurt in her eyes.
"I-i can't just leave us alone" Says Fluttershy backing up against the wall.
"Fluttershy darling, just tell us what happened" Rairity pleads taking a step closer.
"No just let us go home"
"But this is your home" says AJ also taking a step closer.
"Stay away!" The yellow mare yelled startling the others.
Rainbow glared at her and flew up in the former elements face.
"What is wrong with you i thought we were friends we didn't do anything" She said.
"But that is another reason why i left. You all did do something. Rainbow you always shoot my confidence"
RD lowerd her head in relization.
"Rarity, you guilt trip me into doing things i don't want to do"
Rarity looked with shock.
"Twilight, you never listen to me"
Twi was about to say something but didn't.
"Applejack you are always have to choose whats best for me when it's not"
AJ took her hat off.
"And Pinkie you never did anything to me"
Pinkie gave a sad smile.
"But as of now you betrayed me. You broke a pinkie promise" The shy pegasus concludes walking out with a cofused Breeze still on her back.
"Well are we just going to let her leave!" Rainbow said.
"Whats the point?" The group turned to Pinkie who had her mane straight covering her face and her colors as dark as ever.
"What ever do you mean" Rarity questions.
"Everything she said was true. Every last bit. We are terrible friends we don't deserve Fluttershy's kindness all she ever wanted was a chance and we never listened. And i even broke a pinkie promise i broke my own rule that was probably the cause of this night when she relized that we are not the kind of friends she thought we were. We probably sound nothing like the elements of harmony without kindness. We should just leave her alone it is the best we can do for her now. If you will excuse me, but i have to go explain to surprise why she can never see her favorite cousin again"
Before pinkie can leave the room a purple hoof landed on her shoulder causing her to turn to see a smiling Twilight.
"I think the best we can do for her is to be there for her" Twi said pulling her friend into a hug making the rest join in.
Pinkie hesitated but slowly hugged back and smiled.
~~~~~~~~
Back in cloudsdale Fluttershy was tucking her daughter into bed.
"Mommy, I met some friends from ponyville" said Breezy hugging her bear.
"Really what are there names?" Flutters questions. "Maybe you can see them tomorrow"
"Rainbow drift, Gemstone, Midnight sky, and Brave Apple i think thats his name we didn't really get to talk" The red filly explains.
Fluttershy thought for a second when she relized that the main six are all in their thirties which means they have kids and are many. Brave apple is obviously Applejack's and she has met middy six years ago and Rainbow drift is Rainbow dash's and that makes Gemstone Rarity's filly.
"I'm not so sure about those foals. There mommys and me aren't getting along right now" Fluttershy says.
"Aww why not? How do you even know them" The young filly questions.
"A long time ago before you were born we all used to be friends and we all had magic but after a while i just got tired of it then i met your daddy and somthing happened and here we are now" She concluded.
"Well that was vague" The filly says blantly.
"Well what do you want to hear" her mother's asked.
"Since i know you are not going to tell me about my dad how about your adventures"
"Well what do you want to know?" Fluttershy questions while getting up on the bed.
"Absolutely EVERYTHING" the filly exclaims eyes getting larger.
"Okay then let me start from the very beginning" Fluttershy starts.
When the mother finishes her tale (which was evey episode until season 4) her daughter was fast asleep. As she was getting off the bed she bumped into Breeze's saddle back making the contents in it spill out. As she was cleaning it she noticed a crumpled up piece of paper. She wouldn't normally go through her daughter's stuff but somthing in her heart was nagging her saying that she needed to see it. When she opened it she almost cried.
Inside were many more little papers with hurtful messages like 'flightless coward' or 'freak' even one that said 'die'. She took all the paper and threw them out. When she left the room she slide down on the wall.
'how can somponies be so cruel to an angel like Breezy?'
Fluttershy looked back into the room and stared at the map of equestria by Breeze's desk. She settled her eyes on Ponyville.
'There's only one thing to do'
It was night in ponyville. The streets were quiet and the houses were dark. Flying through the air was the one and only rainbow dash and slowly fluttering behind her was the shy Fluttershy. They flew over the small town until they were on the outskirts of the town where a building with flashing lights and loud music was standing.
"There it is the biggest party tonight hosted by the awesome and cool wonderbolts" She says hoof pumping the air.
"I'm not so sure about this. Why would the wonderbolts plan a party on the ground"Fluttershy wonders still having trouble fluttering in one place for long.
"Because they want Pegasi unicorns and Earth ponies to join the celebration of today's show. Now lets go"Said dash grabbing flutter's hoof dragging her down to the party.
"Eep!" Fluttershy squeaked.
When they open the door they were hit with a wave of cider. Dash rushed into the crowd without a glance back to the shy pony.
"Rainbow dash wait!" Fluttershy yelled into the crowd.
After a while of searching she found the rainbow maned mare chugging down a mug of hard cider. It occurred to shy that her friend was already drunk.
"Hey sh-shy you should try some o dis" she said shoving a mug into her friends arms.
Fluttershy stumbles to not drop the cup. She shakes her head and puts the alcohol on the table behind her. She finds a seat next to the bar and watches her friend to be sure that she will be fine. When she turns she find a certain red stallion filling up mugs of cider for the costumers.
"Oh hello big Macintosh are you here giving out the cider?" She asked.
"Eyup" he says.
"Oh is Apple jack here?" Flutters question.
"Enope"
After awhile the two shy ponies begin talking when big mac starts to use actual words. Soon they find themselves taking sips of cider. This being fluttershy's first full mug of cider her vision starts to blur and it feels as if the world is swaying. After his second mug big Macintosh finds himself in flutter's situation. Fluttershy doesn't remember anything else but both of them leaning in before their lips meeting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The morning sun was shining down in flutter's eyes as she tried to crack them open. She finds herself lying on a soft warm and plush surface. Usually she will be up and ready to start her day when she realized that she was at the party and had no gone home. she opened her eyes to become face to face with the sleeping form of big Macintosh .
'Did we? Did it?
She quietly and quickly got out of the bed and realized that she was at the apple residences. She then opened the window and fled.
