Fluttering to Fame
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterThe next morning Fluttershy yawned as she awoke to sunlight streaming through her window. Blinking the sleep out of her eyes, she brushed her teeth, washed her face, and combed her mane. Fluttershy started to hum as she flew down the stairs to feed her animals. "Rise and shine everybody!" she exclaimed as started to give every animal their food. All of a sudden Angel bunny hopped up to Fluttershy and pointed to a cookbook that showed a salad delicacy instead of the regular bowl of salad that Fluttershy serves everyday. Fluttershy's eyes widened when she saw this and sighed in defeat as she took the cookbook and went to her kitchen. After a few minutes of cooking Fluttershy finally made Angel bunny's most favorite item to eat. As she gave it to Angel Fluttershy quickly flew out of her house to the breakfast picnic she and her friends planned at Sweet Apple Acres.
Upon arriving Fluttershy saw that everyone had arrived except for Rarity. As she landed onto the checkered cloth on the ground Fluttershy wondered what new fashion disaster was keeping Rarity late again. Smiling a happy grin Fluttershy greeted everyone as she sat down to wait for Rarity with the others. "Howdy Fluttershy! Rainbow and I almost thought you weren't coming since usually your early. What took you so long?" Apple Jack asked.
"Oh it just took me some extra time then usual to feed the animals. Angel bunny was a tad bit more uncooperative then usual." Fluttershy replied
"You should really start showing Angel who here is the boss Fluttershy! That bunny really has some high demands but you got to make sure he doesn't override you with all his sass." Pinkie Pie stated as she pulled a ton of sweets out of her mini portable picnic basket.
"I still never get how you do that Pinkie. It's just goes against the laws of physics!" Twilight exclaimed while staring at Pinkie.
"I don't really know either! I just do it!" Pinkie giggled.
Finally after 10 minutes of waiting Rarity appeared holding a mysterious box in the air with her magic. All of a sudden Pinkie burst out "Oh! Oh! Oh! What's in there! Let me guess! I love guessing games! Is it a pie? Is it a cake? Is it a dress?"
"As a matter of fact Pinkie is correct there are actually two dresses in here." Rarity calmly stated as she set the box down carefully.
"What's the special event this time?" Rainbow Dash groaned.
"Why, don't you guys read the mail? It's for when Fluttershy and I sign up as new dancing recruits for Sapphire Shores!" Rarity exclaimed
"FLUTTERSHY IS SIGNING UP!?" everypony screamed except for Fluttershy and Rarity
"Well I was actually going to tell you but I guess you know already." Fluttershy whispered while she hid her face behind her mane. As Rarity heard this her eyes widened since she didn't expect Fluttershy to say yes or make her decision so fast.
"After all the times we tries to convince you to something more public Rarity convinces you to do this!?" Rainbow Dash questioned
"Well actually I kind of decided by myself" Fluttershy squeaked as she somehow made herself smaller.
"Guys calm down I'm sure Fluttershy is pretty nervous. We shouldn't pressure her like that." Twilight said as she smiled at Fluttershy
Spike casually spoke up "Wow Fluttershy I never expected you to sign up for a job that provides so much attention where everyone will know you name, take pictures of you, treat you like a celebrity......hmmm it's just like that Photo Finish disaster." Suddenly Spike found everyone glaring at him.
"Spike you shouldn't make her more nervous then she already is!" Twilight retorted in a scolding tone.
"But I didn't say anything! I was just stating the truth." Spike trailed off as Twilight gave him another glare that could rival Fluttershy's famous stare. Thanks to Spike Fluttershy was now rocking back and forth on the ground with her hooves wrapped around herself.
"Calm down sugarcube it's not that bad and we'll be with you no matter what. Right?" Applejack looked at all the others while raising a eyebrow. Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Rarity all answered brightly and put on comforting smiles as they agreed with Applejack.
Just then Rarity remembered the dresses and interrupted every pony as she said," Come along now darling you must try on your new dress." Rarity dragged Fluttershy behind a screen and everyone winced as they heard strings being drawn tight, zippers being drawn up, and Fluttershy yelping. After a few minutes Rarity finally pushed the screen aside and presented Fluttershy and herself. Strutting about as she fluttered her eyelashes multiple times she asked," Well what do you guys think? I'm quite proud of these dresses myself." Twilight and Pinkie complimented the dresses. But Rainbow Dash and Applejack pretended they didn't hear Rarity and started to eat some of the sweets that Pinkie brought. The rest of the ponies finally realized just how hungry they were and sat down to eat. After they finished Applejack had to leave to do some apple bucking, Twilight had to get back to one of her books, Pinkie had to finish planning one of her parties tonight, and Rainbow had to go to one of her weather team meetings. Seeing that it was just the two of them left, Rarity asked Fluttershy of she wanted to come over to house and make their routine for the audition. Fluttershy agreed to her plan and started to pack up the picnic as she started to think of some moves for her routine.
