Ponyville has a strange tradition that Fluttershy has been trying to avoid for quite some time: The mares who are endowed with both male and female genitalia partake in a display of public self-affection. Fluttershy is one such mare gifted with both sets of anatomy, but due to her crippling shyness, she does her best to avoid having to be on display in it.

However, when one of the regulars in the contest gets sick, Rarity pushes Fluttershy to broaden her comfort zone and fill in for her.
