The Morning

Fluttershy woke up that morning confused.

Very confused.

The night before she was checking Tumblr and an unkown figure zipped right by her.

Fluttershy climbed out of bed with a yawn, brushing a tad of mane that had come loose from its curler back and out of her face. She walked to the door, and put her hoof on the doorknob.

Suddenly, a wave of electricity went through Fluttershy. The curlers in her mane shot out. Her tail poofed up like a wet cat shaken to dry. Her mane poofed up like never before.

Suddenly Fluttershy regretted using curlers.

Yes, I know the backstories are different but hey.

This is the legit one.

The Dramatic Chapter In Which Fluttershy Is Shaved

A bright blue light filled the room as Luna teleported inside.

The buzzing sound of a thousand bees filled the room as Luna approached a very unconscious Fluttershy.

The sound became damp as it was muffled by the thick, tangled mane.

"Hey, you! You need to tell me who did this to Fluttershy! You've been reading this fanfiction! TELL US!"
A very unhappy Pinkie Pie is in front of you, breaking the fourth wall.

Twilight pulls Pinkie back into the correct universe with her magic.

Luna is now levitating two puffy balls of mane next to a bald Fluttershy. Then, Twilight saw something.

It was a zipper, in the stubble left from Fluttershy's mane!

Twilight opened the zipper to find an unconscious green mare, with a darker green mane that had a black-and-gray stripe running through it.

Not what she seemed

The mare woke up surrounded by five ponies.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You found out!" screeched the mare, turning into a Changeling. Twilight gasped and fired a laser. But the changeling had advantages. It went straight through a hole in her wing, bounced off a mirror, and hit Rainbow Dash square in the face. An army of Changelings exploded into the castle, breaking many items.

The Mane Six readied for attack. Well, minus Fluttershy.
They fought.

Laser blast!
Fashion Kick!
Party Cannon!
AppleBuck!
Rainbow Punch!

Changeling guts were everywhere.

"I guess it's time to get the mop."

Muahahahahahaha, nope I lied.

The Conditioner

Fluttershy went home after a long day of using her sonic squee cannon to make up for her swear word. She went into her bathroom and ran a warm shower. The mare took out her shampoo, conditioner and body soap as she waited for the shower to warm up.

Suddenly a wild Tumblr ask appears!

Before it falls, Fluttershy secures it to the ceiling. "I use Ponetene Ultra Volume Conditioning Rinse." she replied, making the ask disappear. She gets into the bathtub, and rubs her coat with the body soap. Rinsing off, Fluttershy uses her shampoo to lather her mane into different shapes as she works it in. Finally, her mane has been shampooed and rinsed. Fluttershy then took a small amount of conditioner and scrubbed it in. She placed a shower cap on her head and flank (Tails have to be washed too!) and headed for her bedroom, where she checked for Tumblr asks. None yet! The Pegasus mare played Minecraft for fifteen minutes, then shut off her laptop, went to the bathroom, and rinsed a now poofier afro.

The Prank

Rainbow Dash really hated being in the brown jumpsuit. She didn't like it because it was itchy. Carefully and quietly, the mare attached the bronze buzzer to Fluttershy's bedroom doorknob. The snoring mare started to wake, and Dash slipped up onto the ceiling out of sight. Fluttershy looked around, then pulled out a laptop from under her bed. Dash poked behind Fluttershy, and DUN DUN DUN!

Fluttershy was viewing...

DUNDUNDUN!

Tumblr. Fluttershy was checking her tumblr ask box. Thinking the only way out was to make a run for it, Dash tossed her tree-suit onto the mare to buy her some time, and quicker than light she sped out the window, hiding in a bush.

The confused butter-yellow Pegasus mare set aside the brown disguise, then looked out her window.

Tumblr questions would have to wait this time.

This is why Fluttershy was checking her Tumblr.

The Solution

Twilight Sparkle pondered what to do. Rarity couldn't help, because Fluttershy's mane couldn't even be tamed by a sword (Pinkie Pie's idea). She had no choice but to contact Princess Celestia via letter, as the sun princess did not answer her IMs very often...

"Spike, take a letter." Twilight said.
Spike got out a quill and paper.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Fluttershy's mane has poofed up like cotton candy! It won't be cut or brushed, it remains an afro!

Not to be racist, but that belongs on the Zebra tribe. It looked ugly on the 70s unicorns.
There seems to be no way to fix this.. We don't even know how it started!

Your former student,
Twilight Sparkle

Soon after, Spike burped. A letter materialized and was picked up in Twilight's telekinetic grasp almost instantly.

It read:

Dear Princess Twilight,

I fear the only solution would be to shave Fluttershy. Albeit normal clippers not working, Princess Luna has a giant pair. It can cut through any hair, even the celestial mist we have as our manes. Luna created these in order to trim her own mane when it got coated in Oreo cream.

Luna will deliver it to you soon, as I figure Spike would have trouble burping up a three-foot set of clippers...

-Celestia

"W-what does it say I need to do?" asked Fluttershy.

"You need to shave your mane and tail with a three-foot pair of clippers."

Even Rainbow Dash was feeling sorry now.

This is what the floor looks like in the chapter after the next

But it was just Fluttershy's dream!

The chapters before were Fluttershy's dream excepting the first one.

Fluttershy hushed the small bird after it cawed to wake her. She removed her curlers and brushed her mane. She reached for the doorknob and then...

When her hoof hit the doorknob it felt like someone had seared her with a lightning bolt. Her mane and tail poofed up like never before. She then took her hoof off and took a good look at the doorknob. Fluttershy gently and carefully removed the buzzer. She then tried to brush her mane back down but the brush got stuck. She pulled it out, but that took a while. Finally the mare put on a cloak and flew over to Rarity's house.

"Um, Rarity? My mane poofed up and it's a giant fuzzball... could you please fix it?" asked Fluttershy. Rarity took one look and would not stop fluffing it and fluffing it and fluffing it. Fluttershy did not know what Rarity was doing...

"Darling, I can't fix it, I'm a dressmaker, not a manestylist. I could help you cope with the new look, I suppose." replied the dazed unicorn. "Come, pick one of these old 70s dresses to wear, it'll allow you to not be recognized and blend in. Just, try to make your voice not as soft..."

Fluttershy picked out a white dress with a small red streak going through the edge. It was beautiful and shamelessly adorable.

Later that day, Fluttershy stopped at Sugarcube Corner to explain to Pinkie Pie what happened. Strangely enough, Discord was eating a pastry. "Why, Pinkie Pie, this is better than I could conjure up! How do you even do that?" the draconequus asked between bites.

"Well, I add in some of the sugar from the other side of the fourth wall, and some monk fruit from the other side of the fourth wall, and then fresh-ground cornflour from Applejack's farm... You might even understand this." replied a voice from the kitchen.

"Pinkie Pie? I need to tell you something." Fluttershy said. The pink mare popped up from behind her and said "Hi, Fluttershy. I see you got a new dress and manestyle. I like it! We could be "poofy mane" buddies!", bouncing up and down happily. Fluttershy smiled and hugged Pinkie Pie.

Discord fell on the floor, laughing. Instantly Discord was pinned down by a very angry Fluttershy.

"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME, BEING PRANKED LIKE THIS? YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THAT? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE F:pinkiehappy:KING REFORMED!" Fluttershy yelled.

"Oops, my bad... *squee*"
