Fury's Wrath
The Cover-Up
Previous ChapterThe duo of ponies stopped at a cabin at the end of the path. "Well here we are," said the pegasus quietly as she opened the door. As she opened the door a bunch of furry animals and birds ran up to greet her but ran away as soon as they saw her company, except for one little rabbit. "Hello everyone," said the shy pegasus. The little bunny simply stomped its foot and pointed to the red stallion. "I couldn't just leave him out in the rain... he got a cold, i just want to nurse him back to health." The bunny didn't argue any further but simply shook his head and hopped away. "Umm i appretiate the hospitality and all but i wouldnt want to impose or anything." said the alicorn as softly as possible feeling if he talked to loud the pegasus would break. "No angel is just very protective of me... he doesn't mean to be rude." "Oh ok, umm, nice place you have here.. its very cute." Smiled the alicorn. The Pegasus simply giggled and waved for the stallion to come up the stairs. "You can stay in the guest room for tonight, you get settled and I'll go get some medicine." "I can't thank you enough for your hospitality." The pegasus then blushed and left the room.
The room was very plain but cozy, but the alicorn didn't want to expose the fact that he was an alicorn because he didn't want the same reaction he got from Twilight. So he kept his bag on and just stood there examing the room noticing all the neat pictures of animals and nicnaks on the dressers. As he was examing a picture of some kind of orange big cat with black strips, the pegasus had already entered the room.
In an attempt to scare the alicorn, she came up from behind and said, "Boo." in a quiet but happy voice. Just to play along he pretended to get scared so he 'Jumped' and yelled in a low voice. "AHH! you scared me." he said through a happy grin. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you that bad, i just thought it would be funny." said the pegasus as she looked down at her hooves. "No, no, no im fine i enjoy being scared every once and a while!" said the alicorn quickly to make sure he didnt screw up. "Oh I thought you were mad at me." she said with a shy smile. "No nothing of the sort." he said re assuringly.
"Well then since thats out of the way would you mind laying down on the bed you need rest if you're going to get better." The Alicorn hesitated as he thought to himself, 'Do i keep my bag on or take it off?' He decided to get on the bed with his bag still on, The pegasus took notice of this and said, "Umm.. i hope you dont mind me imposing but you should take that bag off you wont sleep very well with it on." Said the pegasus obviously uncomfortable asking things of the stallion. "Uhhh, yea sure...." He had no idea what to do so he took the bag off really slow and saw the pegasus's jaw drop as his wings were revealed.
Please dont freak out,im just an alicorn no need to jump to conclusions or get scared." the pegasus stared into his eyes for a while before saying, "Ok i wont get scared." The alicorn then got into bed and pulled up the covers but before getting too compfy he forgot to ask something, "Hey by the way whats your name?" asked the alicorn. "Oh, umm my name is Fl Fluttershy,how about you?" "Oh umm i cant actually remember anything about my past thats why I've been wandering around town lately, just trying to get my bearings..." With that Fluttershy smiled, nodded, turned out the lights and walked out of the room and across the hall to her room.
Fluttershy woke up to the sound of beautiful guitar playing not to loud and not to quiet, but just enough to hear each beautifully strummed chord. She got out of bed with her pajamas, and fluttered into the guest room, "That sounds beautiful," said the quiet pony. "Oh Im so sorry i didnt mean to wake you!" Stammered the alicorn. "No thats alright, it was rather peaceful to wake up to, i really appretiate it." said Fluttershy as she got red in the face. "Umm, no problem." said
the alicorn, who was extremely happy he was a red alicorn or else he'd be as red as an apple.
They both went downstairs and ate a nice salad for breakfast,somehow the way Fluttershy made it reminded the alicorn of candy. They both ate silently until Fluttershy broke the silence, "Umm if you dont have anywhere else to stay, you could always stay here, you know if you want to..." stammered the yellow pegasus. "I'd be delighted to Ms. Fluttershy, I promise not to be a burden, and if you ever need help with something, i am in your dept for taking me in last night."
Fluttershy blushed and said, "It was nothing really, any sensible pony would take someone who was out in the cold into their home." "Maybe, but i walked around in the rain for hours and you were the only one who actually noticed i was there." They both stared at eachother for a while before Fluttershy looked away and said, "Um i noticed last night how protective of your identity you are, so if you want i could bring you to my friends boutique, she makes custom clothes and im sure she can
make something for you that will cover up your wings." Fluttershy stated still fighting off the sudden embaracement a few moments earlier. "That would be awesome, i cant thank you enough for all of your help Fluttershy." "Aww it was nothing..." Said Fluttershy. "Don't be modest, you are one of the most kind ponies i've ever met." Fluttershy smiled and started to clean up but was stopped by the alicorn who insisted on he do the cleaning while she relaxed.
The two ponies then walked to Rarity's Boutique and were
greeted warmly by a white unicorn with a purple semingly perfect mane. "Oh, Fluttershy darling what do i owe the pleasure of you visiting?" asked Rarity. "Uhh, my friend needs your help with some clothes, he'll explain the problem, but i've gotta get going." Fluttershy then turned to the Red alicorn, smiled and left. "Um, its very nice to meet you, Ms. Rarity." "As to you Mr...." The alicorn stood in silence, but eventually stammered, "Umm i dont have a name as of right now, im sorry." Rarity looked puzzled for a moment but eventually got over it and continued with her work. "So what seems to be the problem deary."
The alicorn waited until she turned around and then took off his bag to reveal his wings. "Oh my! Darling you're an alicorn! Oh my gosh are you some kind of relative to Princess Celestia?!" The alicorn winced at the comparasin and calmly said, "No,well i dont know but these wings are actually the
problem, i need something to cover them up so I wont stick out so much in public." Rarity looked confused, "Why would you want to cover something so beautiful up? You look fantastic darling!" The alicorn was about to explain but was cut off by Rarity's train of thought, "OOOH, I've got it! A grey hoodie! It's simple, yes, but as i can see from your cutie mark you are a musician, and you musicians need to make the simplist clothing look ravishing, am i right?" The alicorn liked the
idea and just nodded.
"Fantastic, I'll just need to take your' measurements really quick and i can get started!" Several hours later the Alicorn walked out of Rarity's boutique sporting an awesome grey hoodie. Before the alicorn could leave Rarity stopped him, "Oh and when you find your name do come back and tell, oh and dont be a stranger i love company!" with that he gave a nod and
walked off. He reached into his bag and pulled out a list that he had insisted Fluttershy give to him to help with the chores that needed to be done.
"So first on the list is two heads of lettuce." he kept his head down studing the sheet of paper. He wasn't watching where he was going but looked up just in time to see a white unicorn with purple sunglasses and blue stripped hair smash into him. They flew back a couple of feet before landing on the ground. Each pony in a position where they could clearly see eachothers cutie mark. They both stood up,in shock, except the white unicorn was smiling. "Hey watch where you're going you big lug!" the unicorn said sarcasticly.
