The Strange Day

Fluttershy gracefully stepped out of her cottage at 9:30 in the morning to pick up food for her animals like she does every Sunday. Everything was all fine and dandy until she reached the town. It was painted in vivid shades of pink, yellow, and green.
"Pinkie Pie just is throwing another party, that's all." Fluttershy under her breath as she cautiously walks forward towards the pet shop. She hastily trotted across town to avoid attention like she always does until she reaches her destination. A little bell chimes as Fluttershy walks in. She notices her friend Derpy behind a bag of dog food as she looks around aimlessly.
"Excuse me Derpy. What brings you to the pet shop today?" Fluttershy whispers, barely audible.
"I work here now part time! Muffins take awhile to bake so I work here while the first batch is baking in the oven!" Derpy answers cheerfully.
"Well it was great running into you but I have animals to feed." Fluttershy speaks more confidently now as she hauls bags of animal food to where the checkout counter is located.

"That'll be 5 bits!" Derpy says very matter of factly. Fluttershy hands her the boys and gallops off without another word, dragging bags of animal food behind her. As she galloped through the town, Fluttershy noticed many ponies staring at her. She knew that something was very off but she couldn't put her hoof on it.

When she finally arrived at her cottage after a long, grueling walk through Ponyville, she found that all of her animals had been impatiently waiting by the door.

"Oh my gosh, I didn't know you were all so hungry, I would have come home much faster!" Fluttershy whimpered. Instead of digging into their fresh food, the animals started shoving Fluttershy out of the door aggressively. They pull out a worn out rag they found in Fluttershy's kitchen and tie it tightly around her head as they carry her off into the heart of Ponyville.

Eventually, Fluttershy started hearing familiar voices shouting, "There she is," and, "She's finally arrived!" Adrenaline pumped through her body and her weak self gained enough energy to break free from the grasp of her animal friends. She ripped the dirty rag off to find all the citizens of Ponyville staring at her. Before she had an emotional breakdown, everyone screamed in disharmony HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

That's when it hit Fluttershy, today was her birthday!

"I can't believe that this is all for me!" Fluttershy gasped.

"Of course it is silly! You're our friend and you deserve the best!" Pinkie Pie squealed while jumping up and down.

"You are the best friend anypony can ask for," Fluttershy whispers as she finds the rest of her friends surrounding her, "All of you are!"
