A Sunrise Brings Peace

Princess Celestia raised the sun; to bring all of Equestria a beautiful and peaceful morning once again. The cottage, outside of Ponyville, welcomed the first rays of the morning sun. Waking up to the first morning rays, was a yellow Pegasus pony, with long flowing pink hair. She pulled herself out of the covers, and to the window; she wanted to greet the birds singing outside of her window. "Good morning, little friends", she greeted them politly, giving them a warm, yet soft smile. "Isn't it a beautiful day?" The birds chirpped in agreement.

Fluttershy, walked downstairs, in hoping to see what her garden had been doing, since the last time she saw it. Outside her cottage, was the most beautiful flower garden anypony had ever seen. Fluttershy had planted each flower, and gave them a little tlc, which is short for tender loving care. The petunias were in full bloom. The roses were smelling their very best. And the sunflowers were towering high overhead.

Fluttershy hoped that the flowers will be perfect for the next spring sunrise. She sighed as the sun beemed bright. Fluttershy went to get her favorite tea set out from her kitchen. "It's such a perfect day for a tea party outside. I think I'll have it in the Butterfly Grove." Fluttershy went into the kitchen, and pulled out a purple tea set ot from one of the cuborads.

She also went to the fridge, and took out some treats and put them into a picnic basket. She placed a table cloth on top of the treats in the basket, so that the goodies wouldn't get ruined. Fluttershy made her way over to the backyard outside of her cottage, to make sure her animal friends would be well rested, and well fed. The animals greeted her in their own unique languges. "Well hello dearest friends, I hope you all would like to come with me to the Butterfly Grove for a tea party."

The animals all agreed. Fluttershy and most of her animal friends, (except for the chickens back home) walked with Fluttershy to their destination for the most perfect tea party. Fluttershy, just amired the scenery around her; she stared off into space in her own little world. Her own little world was the beautiful thing that she can think of. A place where animals talk and flowers sing. A place where she can be herself.

She stayed there in her own little space, until a bird chirpping snapped her back to reality. She knew she was at the Butterfly Grove when all the butterflies, each one their own special color greeted Fluttershy and her animal friends as they flew by. Fluttershy gave a sigh of relaxation, as she made her way to the most perfect spot the she can think of to set up the tea party.

Finding just the right spot, Fluttershy (with the help of her animal friends and the butterflies) set up the tea party; placed everything where she just wanted them, even the tea set in the center of the table cloth. "This is just the most perfect way to spend the sunny days like today. Isn't little friends?" The animals agreed very soudly.

Fluttershy watched the butterflies dance in the sky. They danced in a graceful movement, that not even Rainbow Dash herself can do no matter hard she tried. The butterflies all looked at Fluttershy as she was staring off into space when she looked up to the sky. She was happy in her own corner of thought- the yellow Pegasus just couldn't keep herself away from her own little private space.

Whenever she found herself in her thoughts, she spun worlds away. She became more at one with her little make believe world, then she was with the real world around her. It was the best place to escape to on Nightmare Night, as it was, not her most favorite holiday. Not like Hearth's Warming Eve when everpony greeted each other and enjoy their company.

A butterfly landed on Fluttershy's nose, which was just enough to bring her back to the real world. "Oh, sorry little friend. I was just thinking about my little world that's all." Fluttershy blushed, and gave the butterfly a soft smile. She sipped her cup of tea, which was a little cold but she didn't care. She was silent for a little while, until a very special thought came to her mind.

She wondered what it'll be like if the sun never greeted the ponies of Equestria again. It seemed impossible for such a thing to happen, but what if it did happen? She thought of the idea to be the worst thing to ever happen in Equestria. But then, at the same time, a peaceful thought came to her head. She thought of so much joy that the sun had brought to her friends, and how her kindness spread through out Equestria with the help from her friends.

After all, kindness is not without laughter, generosity, honesty, loyalty, and magic. The six powerful things of friendship had always worked together in the most perfect harmony. You really can't have one without the other you know. This thought was good. This very special thought made the bad one go away. Fluttershy may not have known this, but all of her animal friends call her Butterfly Princess.

They call her that because she was kind and helped them with their care. Also she had three butterflies on her flank for her cutie mark. But even if she had known that, Fluttershy would have loved the name the animals gave her. Animals had always been very special to her. She helps them in anyway that she can. Even when Philimenoa the princess's pet seemed bit stubborn at first Fluttershy tried her best to take care of her, and she never stopped trying.

"Maybe I'm not as weak and helpless as I think I am", Fluttershy quietly said, as she ate a vanllia cupcake in front of her. Fluttershy was in very deep thought this time. Even very further then she would have realized. This very special very corner of her own little world, was very peaceful after all.
