Oh, I'm Sorry...

Oh, uh, h-hi! M-my name is Butterscotch. I am a yellow colt, uh, I have some pink hair, which is kind of embarrassing for me to talk about... but I also have a cutie mark, which is a pink bunny. Sorry to b-be a little stumbling here, but I'm k-kind of a shy kind, you know? I really don't have much of a friendship with anypony. Everypony like laughs at me. I can see why. It's because of the way I look. I looked like a girl, and a cute one! I first thought of it as a flattering thing, but on with life, I took it down to realize it was not flattering, nor nice at all. So, I kind of lived alone, with only the animals as my friend. Especially my little bunny, Angelica. She's a darling, but at times just not a darling at all. I can understand sometimes. For I speak for the animals! But everypony probably thinks I'm a weird guy.

For the rest of my life, I thought I would just live alone with the animals, caring for them and such. No need for ponies as a friend of mine. But that soon changed. On the very day at the marketplace... Oh what a day, indeed.

I went to the marketplace one day to fetch some vegetables, fruits, and even some cookies! After all, I was running out of food at my hut. I had to get some food, or else I starve. And so do the critters, too. Not the critters! But as I walked up to the stalls, selling the veggies and fruits, I made my way to the stand where Mr. Cake was selling a brand new batch of delicious homemade cookies. Oh, I couldn't wait. I dreamed of it. Another bite of a chocolate-chipped cookie. Chewy, tasty, fun... Oof!

"Oh! I'm sososo sorry! Please forgive me!" I said loudly, scared that the pony I bumped into would be mad at me because of my ridiculous thought of having a cookie. I picked up some of the fruit that fell on the ground, and put it in my basket.

But then, the pony responded, in a soft, calm tone. "Oh, no, I'm v-very sorry..." I looked to her. She had a basket on her head, thanks to my bumping incident with her. But she took off the basket, and revealed herself. She had long, soft pink hair and light-blue dazzling eyes. But it was sort of covered by her hair, as it went in front of her face. "I didn't pay attention, either." she said. She picked up the one big apple from the ground next to her.

"W-what's..." Woah, wait. What was I doing? Was I about to ask her name? I've never done that before... Not like that. Stop right there, Butterscotch. Ponies don't really like you, like back then in school, remember? But, maybe she could be different... By the looks, she looks... like me. She looked very shy, like me. Perhaps both of us could have endured the same? No. Don't go there. I couldn't choose, now. Ask for her name, or let her go? Oh no, she's leaving! Uh......... "What's your name? Miss?" She stopped her hooves.

She looked back, and then a bunny on her back appeared. I blushed brightly. In a quiet, shy tone, "F-fluttershy..." She sounded so cute. "W-what's your name?" Oh. Oh no. Oh nonononono! How do I respond? Uh...

"B-b-butter-rscotch!" I said. My cheeks burned bright, but hers did, too. Her cheeks were all pink. I guess we both had the same shy feeling, huh? The bunny though stared at me. Like he has my number. I felt unsure about that, but it's probably nothing.

"That's a n-nice name." she complimmented. My eyes widened. Is that true? She... she likes my name? Or is she trying to be friendly with me? "I really do mean it!" she said. Well, I suppose that proves it.

"Wow." I reacted. "I mean, nopony ever said my name was nice before. T-thanks." I really meant that one. Never have I felt this good before. Never. Is this the feeling... just that feeling... of having a friend? It truly has to be. But then, this odd thought came to mind. Is it the feeling of falling in love? No, that's just silly! I don't know why that came to mind. I mentally slap myself.

"You're welcome!" Fluttershy responded. "It's always nice and warm to make somepony feel happy." She smiled widely. Yet, I sadly looked down, frowning. "Oh no, did I say something wrong?" she asked, frightened like she crushed all my glee.

I sigh. "No." I told the pink-haired mare. I decided to move along, and Fluttershy went along.

"No, please. I just want to know what's wrong." Fluttershy told me. She was determined to know what's the problem. She then jumped in front of me. "Please?" she asked me. Her eyes looked like she was going to cry. I couldn't dare to let this happen.

I responded, for her. "Listen, about what you kind of said. You just... seem to make ponies happy, you seem to be gleeful, you like my name. It's just getting me back to my filly days." I seemed even more down, but Fluttershy just then put her hoof on my back, comforting me. "I just never had friends. I was just the fool who gets laughed at a lot. I was joked around about my name, my style, my looks. I mean, you don't always see a colt with pink hair everyday." I was going to cry, sharing what I have endured.

Fluttershy then did the out-of-nowhere move. She leaned her head on me. She brushed her head once. I got thrilled by this. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. Well, we did just meet, afterall. Do you have friends now?" I shook my head. "Oh." she then said something else. "Can I b-be your friend, perhaps?" My mind froze. Her? My actual friend? Pony friend, not animal? I quickly look at her.

"Well, I-I-I-I..." Blushing bright again. "Sure..." She then stopped and so did I. She quickly wrapped her arms around me. I then felt it. My heartbeat. So exciting, but overwhelming. Should I just let this happen? She soon released, and giggled. She waved goodbye, and I did the same. Very stunned, I was. I returned home, smiling wide. Angelica noticed this once I put the food on the table.

I plopped on my bed. Angelica entered the room. "Angelica," I said to the bunny. "I think I've found a friend." It warmed my soul. I soon fall asleep.

The Next Day

I woke up, yawning loudly. I seemed to have gotten a long sleep, as it was morning. With that, my stomach rumbled like crazy. Didn't eat that much yesterday, which was a fast day. But yet, it felt... beautiful. It all came up like that. All because of Fluttershy. I remembered every adorable detail of her. That's not creepy, is it? Right? But my bunny, Angelica, started to thump and hop, telling me to go make some breakfast. I was starving, so I was going to make it a heavy one.

I started to just make a ton of waffles and pancakes. Got some blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, whip cream, and Granny Maplehoof syrup. This actually felt fun to do, honestly. The animals started to help out, like always. Sweet creatures. They were like MUCH better than EVERY pony in Equestria. Oh. Well, not all of them. Fluttershy. She seemed shy and nice, like me! It's almost unlike any other pony I've seen and met. But, maybe... maybe things changed. M-maybe they aren't as bad and cruel as they seem now. I'm in a different location, with different ponies. I never DID try to become a friend with any pony in Ponyville before. Well, except for that adorable and precious Fluttershy! I can't stop thinking about her! She's like the ONE. I can't lose such a mare!

Little did I know that I was pouring maple syrup on my pancakes, and it all ended up being Fluttershy's face. Oh. What has gotten into me? This mare really has gotten into my head really good. I mean, again, never really liked my kind. And that is pretty dark to say at the least. But that again, times could have changed. Ponies could be different here...

But, me and the animals ate our breakfast, and got full. I'm stuffed from all those pancakes, I'll tell ya what! I then decide to walk outside to give my flowers some water from my watering can. During the session, I stare out down the hill. There lied Ponyville. I then thought. Should I go down? Meet some other ponies and friends? It felt like some tough challenge. My shyness was swelling up in my mind at the thought of it. Then, after watering the plants, I brush my pink hair back. Let's do this. I put Angelica in charge of the place, as always when I leave, and set down towards Ponyville. I had both good and bad intentions about this place.

I head out, and go checking out the place. Ponyville looked happy and sunny, so maybe this was going to be goodie-good. I then tried to search around for Fluttershy, if she was even out. I took my time, not just looking for that mare, but I took my time looking at the other ponies around me. They seemed to just smile and go on with a happy morning. I just kept myself together, as yet I got really tense being in the crowd of ponies. Ya, I'm not great with crowds. I feel like I'm drowning, except there's no water. Just ponies.

I then see a flash of pink for a second in my sight. Immediately, I head towards that position. Must be Fluttershy. I shuffle through the traffic, and finally see another flash of pink, entering a bakery or something. If I remember, I heard that this place was called Sugarcube Corner. I think. Is it? No matter, as Fluttershy is in that building. I head in, turn my head, and see a flash of pink before closing my eyes and saying, "H-hi, Fluttershy! Fancy m-meeting you here."

I open my eyes, and blush nervously. It wasn't Fluttershy. It was another mare, giving me a questionable look. She was all pink with poofy, dark-pink hair. "Fluttershy?" the mare says. "Oh, I'm not Fluttershy, silly! I'm the one and only Pinkie Pie!" She gave me a wide smile.

"Oh, uhhhhh, wrong mare! Hehehe..." I said, nervous and embarrassed. Idiot! I saw the color of this pony's skin, and it's pink! Pink! Fluttershy is NOT pink!

"But," the mare continued. "If you really are looking for Fluttershy, I heard she is in the Everfree Forest." I had a sigh of relief. OK, that's where she is. Well, thank this pink, happy mare! I go on my way, until... "Actually, why are you looking for Fluttershy?" I froze.

"Uh..." I said, trying to find words, very quickly. "I just w-wanna talk t-to her that's all. She's a f-f-friend." I told her.

Pinkie Pie smiles wide. "Well, okie-dokie! But hey, you are a friend of Fluttershy, so I'll let ya go. What's your name?" I froze again. Oh boy.

"Butterscotch." I said quickly, getting over it.

"OK, Butterscotch. See you later!" She waved as I was leaving the building. I honestly don't think we'll ever meet again. Well, I just jinxed myself, didn't I?

I walked around in the Everfree Forest, then realizing how scary this was getting. Uh, did that mare, Pinkie Pie, tell me WHERE Fluttershy exactly was? I mean, this ain't a small building or area. It's a gigantic forest, she could be anywhere. Matter of fact, I can get LOST in here. I don't know much about this place, so hey, I could become a victim in this dreadful forest. But then a light shined in this dreadful forest. A yellow pony.

Fluttershy sat there, with some critters gathering around. Squirrels, rabbits, deers, even skunks. Hopefully they don't spray. I heard her singing to them in the meanwhile. It was a sweet little tune, and it sounded beautiful. Harmonic. I wanted to walk out of the bush and say hi, but something was holding me back. Shyness? Why am I getting shy all of a sudden? Then I get the realization that I was feeling that this might be a weird thing that might make Fluttershy not like me. Like when I usually tried to make friends back then, I would accidentally make a conversation weird, and that pony would back off. Like when I bumped into Fluttershy, that was sort of awkward, but she became a friend of mine.

I toughened up. I can't just back away from this. "Hi, Fluttershy!" I said, jumping out of the bush. And the animals were very alarmed, and the skunks had their tails up high and ready, but they didn't spray. They actually just looked at me. I soon take notice that these fellow animals were some of the animals I have talked to back then. They knew me well, and they liked me for my caring ways for them. So instead of going wild like their in the middle of an invasion, they simply smile at me, and jump around me in glee. I almost backed away from this as I thought they were going to harm me.

"Oh, uh- h-hi!" Fluttesrhy said. I smiled at her, while their was a bunny rabbit right next to my hoof, thumping very loudly. I looked at the little critter. He seemed to look very familiar. He almost looked like Angelica, except that this guy doesn't have the eyelashes. He seemed a little more grumpier, too. "Oh." Fluttershy said, seeing the bunny. "That's Angel, if you don't mind." I looked down at it.

"Hi, Angel." I said, softly. The bunny then seemed to calm down a tad bit. He then just looked at me. "There, you're a good bunny, now. Hehe." I looked up to Fluttershy, who smiled at seeing this. "Your pet bunny?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Oh, yes. Angel here was a dear pet I had since I got my cutie mark." She then showed me her cutie mark, three pink butterflies. "I'm pretty much a animal-loving nature pony. What's your cutie mark?" I seemed to sweat slightly.

My cutie mark was a pink bunny, but I was still the same like her, which made us seem to fit together nicely. "Um... here." I showed her my cutie mark, and she giggled.

At first, I thought she was laughing at it, since it's girly. But then, she made a comment on it. "That's nice and cute. Are you the same as I am?" I simply nod. "Oh, that's perfect!" I then started to act shy and cover myself with my tail, for some reason. She tilted her head. "W-what's wrong? I-is it s-something I said?"

I shook my head. "No. It's..." I started to talk, but lost some words. Then I came back, saying, "I just kinda got... made fun of. My 'friends' back then saw this as a girly nature cutie mark, and so they made fun of me. I hated living back there, and ever since, I got stuck to my animal friends back at home. I got REALLY shy then." I explained, and Fluttershy trotted close to me.

"Oh, that's terrible." she said. "The same thing kinda happened to me, too." I paused. R-really? "Back then, when I was a filly in Cloudsdale, other ponies started to make fun of me for being a weak flier and a shy kind." That... that sounds like my story... "But then, a friend in deed came by to help me. Rainbow Dash. She was awesome and always was looking forward to help me out and stand up to the bullies. But, I don't mean to be rude here, but you said you didn't have friends, did you?"

I shook my head. "Sadly." I told her. "I had nopony like that help me during any of my times. I just suffered that's all."

Fluttershy then thought of a bright idea. "Wait, I got it!" she yelled. I listened closely to what she was going to say. "How about we get you some friends? Trust me, every single pony in Ponyville is nice, indeed. Especially my best friend, Rainbow Dash. Matter of fact, why don't we meet her now?!" She took my hoof, which my face blared red all over. "Follow me, I know where she could be, right now." She then started flying off towards Cloudsdale, the giant city made out of clouds. I didn't know what to do, but she was leaving.

"W-wait!" I shouted, then I flew up after her, following her to (maybe) my new friend.

Enjoyed? Sorry for the long wait, guys! :twilightblush: I got a little off track. :facehoof:

The New Friend's Best Friend

I flew with Fluttershy up into the sky. High into the clouds and where many pegasi roamed. I looked around, seeing quite some traffic up here in Cloudsdale. We ventured up more and more until we catch something in our sight. A giant cloud mansion. It had a nice little rainbow fountain in front of it, and it seemed to have an obstacle above it. Like a race track of some sort. And somepony was using it. Fluttershy smiles and flies up to it, and I do, too. Is this the one she was talking about? This blue, rainbow-maned pegasus just bolting around the course, going through the giant cloud rings like there was no tomorrow? Is this Rainbow Dash?

As we approached closer and closer, Fluttershy tried to call out her name. "Rainbow Dash!" she called out loudly several times. Then the blue pegasus slowed down and came to a halt. She looked towards our way, and noticed Fluttershy, her friend, and me, a complete, odd stranger. She flew straight to Fluttershy, and smiled.

"Hey there, Fluttershy!" she said, greeting her. She then looked to her side, and saw me, and I hid myself with a wing. "Uh, Fluttershy," she started to say. "I, uh, you do know there is somepony right behind you, right? You know, right there?" She pointed her hoof at me.

Fluttershy looked up to her, and introduced me. "Oh, him, he's a new friend I met yesterday. His name is Butterscotch." Dash looked back at me, and gave a shrug. "Trust me, you'll like him. He's kinda like the colt version of me I guess you can say." Fluttershy told her.

"Alright." Rainbow said. "Never seen him before, though. Is he new to Ponyville? If yes, welcome to Ponyville!" Fluttershy shook her head at the same time as I did.

"No, he's been here for a while. He's just... uh, shy. Well, more shy than me to be exact." Fluttershy answered.

I got myself in the talk. "Well, I really never had friends before, and I kinda didn't like other ponies because I, well, thought they'd make fun of me because of they way I... look and act." I looked down to the ground, but noticed how high up I was. Oh. I shriek, and jump right into Dash's arms. I notice this and blush just a couple of seconds shaking in fear. "Oh, uh, sorry." I told her as I got off of her. "Never really got this high up before in my life."

Rainbow Dash laughed. "Really? Because, there are WAY more heights higher than THIS! Trust me, I'm a daredevil of flying and heights." Well, she did have that kinda look and style. "But hey, did you say that you NEVER had friends here at Ponyville?" I shook my head. "NEVER?! I can't believe this! H-he's not joking is he, Fluttershy?" She shook her head, too. "Wow."

"Yeah." I said. "Ponies made fun of me, thought of me as a weird kind of guy, you know, cause what kind of colt like me hangs around with animals like I'm one with nature and carries around a pink bunny cutie mark." I hid my cutie mark with my tail, even when she already saw and noticed it. "Yeah, after that, n-nopony was like a nice being in my eyes, so I got the feeling that was going to be EVERY pony in Equestria." I looked at Fluttershy. "But, Fluttershy here is nice and kind and such a dear friend, even if I met her yesterday, and she told me that you'd be a good friend. Are you?"

Rainbow Dash gave out a heart laugh. "Are you kidding? I'm the most AWESOME friend you'll ever have! Of course I'll let you be my friend, and besides, you are friends with Fluttershy. 'The friends of my friends are my friends.' So, yeah, keep it like this, and we'll do just fine." I smiled. That was pretty easy. I just came up to this pegasus and we just suddenly become friends just like that. "You know, we can meet up with the others, like if ya want."

"Are you kidding? I'd love to!" I said, pumped up and excited. I stopped myself and noticed my little exciting state. I've never been quite excited like that before. Especially when I have an offer to meet other ponies. "Who can we meet?" I ask.

"Well, next up we could meet Pinkie." Fluttershy said. I then stopped. Pinkie?

"Pinkie?" I questioned her. "Pinkie Pie? Pink, poofy hair? All energetic with like a high-pitch voice of some sort? That's the Pinkie we are talking about?"

Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yep. That's good ol' Pinkie. What, did you meet her earlier or something?"

I nodded. "You can say that. I thought it was Fluttershy, like by the tail, and I accidentally bumped into her. She scared me, though. Is she a good kind of friend?" I ask Dash. Dash giggled.

"Not every single pony is bad here, Butterscotch. Trust me, she's very energetic and is a party animal, but trust me, she is funny and cool to hang out with. That's a good friend if I ever heard one." Rainbow said, then zooming down towards the place where I saw Pinkie. "Come on!" she yelled, trying to get me to come.

"A-alright... To Sugarcube Corner!" I said loudly. And I then go down with Dash and Fluttershy... very slowly and lightly. As I stared down at Ponyville, I got my heart beating wildly. I felt like I was going to crash for some reason. So, I took it nice and steady. Just being ever so very gently. They were stopping to wait for me. "Oh no, you go." I told them. "I'll meet you guys there. Trust me." They both shrugged and continued to Sugarcube Corner, while I was being an old grandpa flying to the ground. Yeah, sorry, I'm not good with heights, and I'm a pegasus for Celestia's sake! That's another reason why ponies back then made fun of me. But these ponies, they aren't like them. They were very much better.

More friendlier.
