Tough Love

It had been an unusually peaceful day in Ponyville and everypony was finishing their business as the sun began to set. The pegasi were buzzing about as the unicorns and earth ponies were cantering around the town square, all enjoying the pleasant Spring weather granted to them by the grace of Princess Celestia and the weather team. It seemed that everypony had either spent such a fine day relaxing or working hard. One pony in particular had worked arduously in order to keep his ridiculously pumped body in shape. This pony was Snowflake.

Snowflake was a pale stallion with a blonde mane and blood red eyes. What set him apart from other ponies(besides his red eyes) was his extremely muscular body stature. Extreme is an understatement. Snowflake was almost the same height as Celestia and his muscles were bulging all around his freakishly powerful frame. Rumors tell of Snowflake’s swollen pecs, abdominals and other muscles being the product of steroid overdose. What made the rumors even more believable were the tiny, feather-covered appendages he called wings. But gossip was just gossip and Snowflake had actually earned every fiber of over-pumped muscle on his bodacious bod.

Since Snowflake was so outrageously muscular, he was probably a jerk right? Wrong you silly, silly ponies! So silly! Although Snowflake’s appearance was that of a testosterone filled behemoth, he was actually quite the opposite. He was a gentle giant who would never harm a fly so long as it didn’t come within the range of his death grip. He enjoyed taking walks(in his case sprints at the speed of 60MPH), drinking tea(filled to the brim with protein supplements), eating out(his marefriends), and other neat things anypony else would enjoy doing. Snowflake was just like you and I behind that stone wall he called a body!

So it was after a hard day of working out that our dear Snowflake was relaxing in the town square when he caught sight of a floating piece of parchment that indicated the where and whenabouts an event was taking place. It was during the afternoon that our burly pegasus protagonist got the message that all pegasi were to assemble at the library for a debriefing on the upcoming water transfer via tornado power. Just the thought of such an exciting event fueled Snowflake, causing his blood to boil. He wanted to...to...just scream! But he didn't. Snowflake did not want his trademark war cries to become too common, he had to reserve them for just the right moments. If he were to use them everytime he felt pumped, he would be screaming half the day! That would make his invigorating shouts nothing more than some cheap comic relief, and so our robust hero held in his battle roar for a more special occasion and proceeded to make his way towards the library, practically galloping along the way.

~Now let's join our heroine, shall we?~

Although she was not looking forward to the hurricane, Fluttershy came at the behest of her friend, Rainbow Dash, who was trying to get everypony in the library pumped up for the upcoming making of the hurricane in order to defeat, no, explode the old record! She proceeded to try and get the pegasi of Ponyville inspired.

“Are we gonna train hard?”

“Yeah!” The pegasi chanted back.

“Are we gonna be strong?”

“Yeah!” The crowd cheered once more.

“Are we gonna be fast?”

“Yeah!” This was when Rainbow Dash got into Snowflake’s face and asked:

“Record breaking fast?!”

Then Fluttershy heard it. It was as if a symphony of microscopic body builders were inflicting multitudes of hay makers upon the insides of her ears. It was the most beautiful, most wonderful, most…nice sound she had ever heard in her life. And it went:

“YEEEAAAAAAH!”

Fluttershy immediately turned and spotted the source of the angelic voice. A giant white hunk of mass near the front of the crowd of pegasi was fuming with excitement. He was already sweating from anticipation and his perspiration was causing the other ponies around him to feel mildly uncomfortable. Fluttershy paid them no heed, for only one thing was on her mind, and that was the gargantuan stallion standing several feet in front of her.

Fluttershy felt a wingie coming on. Feeling embarrassed, she crawled through the crowd towards the exit of the library. As soon as she was outside, she allowed her wings to spring fully and shivered as the night air blew past her stiff protrusions.

“Oh, goodness. This is bad.” Fluttershy whispered to herself.

She did not want anyone to see her in such a state and so she went into a gallop and soon after took off into the night towards her cottage. Once at her humble abode, Fluttershy decided that she absolutely had to know more about the stallion. She didn't know his name, where he was from, not even if he actually lived in Ponyville. This did not surprise her though, since she rarely went out of her way to meet new ponies. Fluttershy then decided that in order to find out who this mysterious dream colt was, she would have to follow and observe him.

"Oh, this is going to be so much fun. Maybe I should invite the girls to help me!" But after thinking on it a bit more, Fluttershy decided that she did not want her friends to know about her crush just yet. It would be much too embarrassing! With that thought in mind, Fluttershy made her way back to the library to perform her stakeout. She hid behind a bush, her hiding spot conspicuous, and whispered:

"Operation Learn More About the Cute Hunk of Stallion...commence!" She giggled to herself  as ponies around her just stared.

~Back to our hero!~

When Snowflake exited the library, it was dark. He began trotting towards his home, looking for a runway long enough for him to take off, as it was difficult for him to ascend just like any other pegasus would due to his huge body and tiny wings. As he was looking for a good spot to fly off of, Snowflake had the strangest feeling that he was being watched. He was used to people gazing upon his glorious pecs, but this was different. It had an eerie feeling to it...He used his enhanced senses he achieved through rigorous training and determined the location of the spy. The source of the odd feeling seemed to be coming from behind a small bush. It was hard to see what it was exactly due to the lack of lighting, but Snowflake determined to be...some sort of monster! One that had tendrils growing from its head and huge piercing eyes that drilled into his soul. It looked like some beast from a cliche horror novel, just waiting to prey on unsuspecting victims.

'Why, how dare this ugly piece of manure prey on the innocent ponies of Ponyville?!' Snowflake thought in his head.

'You mess with Ponyvillians, you mess with me. I'm gonna hang you by your intestines you creep!' exclaimed the now pumped up stallion in his head. He was sure not to make a noise as he quietly cantered up to see this monster dealt justice himself.

The figure seemed to take notice that it was spotted and ducked underneath the foliage with a yelp. Snowflake was going to teach this beast a lesson and began inching closer to it. As he came within demolishing range, he realized that it was just a flimsy looking mare doing...something behind the bushes. Maybe pinching a grumpy due to the bathroom being occupied? He suddenly felt very awkward about the whole situation and decided to back off to give her space to do her business. As for the staring earlier, Snowflake brushed it off as her being afraid of any witnesses of her private time, that or she was bewildered by his herculean physique. Either way, he decided to mind his own business and just go home. Snowflake proceeded to take air and with a powerful gust, he lifted off and blazed through the sky to his home on the opposite side of Ponyville.

Fluttershy opened her eyes. She was scared stiff behind the bush after being spotted by her crush. She saw the murderous intent in his eyes after he had found out he was being followed. She saw how angry he looked, but then he just suddenly left. Fluttershy realized that he must not have been able to spot her in her perfect hiding spot! She was so proud of herself, she felt like one of those things crazy ol' Lyra always talked about. Those mythical human sub-species called...Nindgas? It didn't matter what they were called, Fluttershy was definitely feeling boss at that exact moment. This event only boosted her resolve and encouraged her to proceed with her shenanigans, and thus she chased after her love interest.

~Several hours later...~

Snowflake, unaware that he had been tailed was getting some overnight exercise done in his garage.He still had the nagging feeling that he was being watched, but he decided that he was simply working himself too hard and decided to hit the hay.

A few feet away, Fluttershy was half asleep, dreaming of her future with her dream stallion. She was awoken from her reverie by the sprinklers. It was midnight and Snowflake had gone into his house. She tried desperately to peek into the windows and get at least a glimpse of him, but after several failed attempts she decided to go back home for the day. She needed to know everything about him. She had already found out that his adorably ironic name was Snowflake. She also found that he worked as a model for several body building and sports magazines. She found out his age, birthday, favorite food(high protein forage), and she even took his measurements while he was asleep. But this was not enough for our dear Fluttershy. No, the timid mare had to know more about him, and the only way to do so was to overcome her bashful nature and talk to him. Or she could inquire Rainbow Dash and milk her for all the information she had on the sexy stallion. She chose the latter.

Huh, I had fun writing that. I know there wasn't much commentary in this chapter, but that's only because this is the intro. Also, my sense of humor might seem a tad bit bizarre to you folk, but if you like my work, give me a thumbs up and comment or something! I might not reply due to...um...studying and totally not playing Tera, but do not fret, I will read them. Bye!
