The Sad Song of Fluttershy

You walk down a crowded hallway but stop when Fluttershy blocks your path. "Um... Anon... I wrote a song." She passes a notebook to you. 'Meet me after school. We'll be heading to the animal shelter. If you don't mind, that is...' By the time you finish reading, she is gone. Should you go? You don't have anything better to do afterschool and everyone else already has plans. Seems like you have something to do, instead of jerking it to shit on the Internet.

The last bell rings, allowing everyone to burst through the doors of the school. You casually walk out and see Fluttershy near the statue. You start to approach it and waive. "Hey! Flutters!" She jumps up and looks around. When she finally sees you, she gives back a small waive of her hand. You scoff on how cute that is and meet up with her at the statue. "Sorry for that, I didn't mean to startle you."

She tries to put on a smile. "Don't worry, I'm used to it. Thank you for showing up."

"It's not a problem, there's nothing for me to do for today, so I'm all yours."

"O-oh, how great." She whispers out. You notice that she gave out some enthusiasm, but you choose to ignore that.

"Should we walk there, or take the bus?"

"It's just a few streets away, we can walk there."

"Alright, let's not waste the day." The both of you start to walk down the street. During the walk, you decide to know her a little more. "Animal shelter, huh? Makes me wonder why you're not part of PETA or something."

"Oh no, I want to actually help on where I can. Big organizations like that, well, I'm afraid of they're really helping, or just keeping it for themselves. I'm actually surprised you're not busy today."

"Yeah, not really was expecting for much. Just wanted to stay at home, relax, maybe some TV or porn."

"What was that?"

"Huh?" You realized on what you've just said. Well fucking done.

"That last part, what did you say?"

"I said... Corn. Yeah, lots of corn I need to eat." You give off a silly chuckle.

"R-right. It's nice to have you come along. I've been meaning to ask you for a while, and I've thought that, this was the right way."

"Well, you've got me." You shake your hands a little. She couldn't help but giggle at your retarded humor. "For a while?"

"Y-yes. I never had the chance to tell you in person, because, you would be with a friend or someone else. I've made this note to tell you about... You know."

"Yeah, you needed some help at the shelter, I get ya."

"N-no, it's not just tha-"

Someone walks in between you and Fluttershy and bumps both of you. "Hey! Watch where... Rainbow Dash?" She turns around and takes off her earbuds.

"Hey guys. Just wanted to do that to get your attention. Ya sure you ain't coming to practice today, Fluttershy?"

"No Rainbow Dash, not today."

"Bummer, you wanna come along, Anon?"

Just as you're about to talk, Fluttershy jumps in. "He's coming with me for today, Rainbow Dash. Both of us are going to the animal shelter and help out the poor pets who need attention."

"And that's more important than helping your friend with the band?"

"Yes, it is." Fluttershy answers boldly.

"Whatever, I'll see you guys later." She puts on her earbuds and jogs away.

"Darn Rainbow Dash, that little..."

"Come on, let's keep on walking, Flutters."

"S-sorry, it's just that, the nerve of Rainbow sometimes. Always wanting to do stuff her way. What's worse is that this band is keeping me away from helping the animals."

"Good thing that you have me, we can get a lot of work done, and we can get to know each other a little." You say to keep her focused.

"Y-yeah, about that, were you able to read my song?"

Song? It looked more like a note instead of a song.

"Flutters, wasn't that just a note?"

"Y-you didn't look past that page?"

"No, I only read the title of the book. It said you wanted to meet up afterschool."

She starts to have some kind of panic attack. "Oh dear. I though that you, you wanted to... Oh goodness."

"Hey, hey. Calm down, there's nothing to worry about."

"There is! I thought that you wanted to..." She starts hyperventilating.

"Calm down, come on now. What was it that you wanted?"

"J-just r-read th-the b-book."

"Not yet. I'm getting you to the animal shelter." You set each hand on her shoulders. "Relax now. Take deep breaths. I'm not calling an ambulance when the animal shelter is just down the street. Just take deep breaths now." She inhales and exhales slowly. It goes on for a few more cycles. "Better now?"

She nods. "Mmhmm."

"Good, let's continue walking over there, we can talk about the song another time."

"The song?!" She hyperventilates again, even harder than before.

"Now breathe! Fucking breathe!" She tries, but it looks like she's a fish out of water. For some odd reason, you tightly hug her. She doesn't move, or even breathe for a while. You feel her exhale, getting the oxygen back in a good flow. You pat her on the back and let go. When you try to back away, she still hugs you. "Uhh, Fluttershy?"

"Oh! Sorry! Sorry!" She jumps back and crosses her arms. Cute and weird. "This way, we'll talk later."

"Fine by me."
