The Gala

       You are with Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie as you make your way into the gala. You are wearing a beautiful glowing green dress with flowers on it and in your mane.

      "Yeehaw! Here we are girls, the Grand Galloping Gala! Tonight we will be seeing Rainbow Dash and Twilight!" Exclaimes Applejack.

      "We haven't seen them in ages, darling." Complained Rarity and adds,"Does my dress look alright?" Applejack rolls her eyes.

      "Your dress is beautiful, Rarity." You compliment, and Rarity fluffs her hair. You don't like how much Rarity likes to brag, but, you like to be kind so you act like you don't really mind.

      "I knew at least somepony would think my dress is simply divine."

      "Girls, WE'RE HERE!" yells Pinkie as she hops. You fly up in fright, and flutter back down in embarrassment as Applejack chuckles. You go and find Twilight.

      "Twilight!" you exclaim. Twilight turns around and smiles.

      "Hello, Fluttershy!" Twilight hugs you and says,"I have decided you are going to sing tonight." She probably sees the frightened look in your eyes and adds,"I believe you can do well and it will give you a confidence boost!" She smiles nerbously. You gulp.

      "I-I'm sorry b-but I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to." You whisper. Twilight shakes her head.

      "Fluttershy, can you please do this, for me?" Asks Twilight. You really don't want to do this, but you give in.

      "Fine. What song do sing?" Twilight hands you a paper and you walk into a garden where you will be comfortable to sing.

      "OK, Fluttershy, you can do this." You look down at the words and notes. "Can, Anypony, find me, somepony to love." You stop. It is hopeless, singing in front of hundreds, maybe even thousands, of ponies watching you sing.

      "Hey, Fluttershy." Says a voice behind you that you haven't heard in months. You turn around and see Rainbow Dash in her Wonderbolt uniform. It was amazing Rainbow finally reached her dream. "So, you are singing tonight?"

      "Y-Yes..." you stammer. You take a deep breath and say,"Oh, I can't do it. I can't sing."

      "You sang in front of us!" replies Rainbow, clearly not amused.

      "But that was just you girls. I am singing in front of thousands of ponies!" you whimper as the thought came into your mind, hundreds on eyes on you, judging every word you sing and what you look like. You really don't want to be in the spotlightz, where ponies judge everything about you!

      "Flutters, do it for us! You will be fine. I believe in you." Rainbow says and you calm down and sigh.

      "Fine, I will do it." You say. Rainbow leaves and you start over and practice the whole song. You admit you sound great, but not great enough. You run through the song and go inside, as it was nearly time for you to sing. You walk backstage and see Pinkie hopping onto the stage.

      "You reach your right hoof out, you reach your right hoof out..." sang Pinkie badly. You cringe at the dreadful tune.

      "Thank you Pinkie." says Twilight. You are happy Twilight came in, because you didn't want your friend to make a foal out of herself. You inhaled and exhaled and walked on stage. Many stallions looked at you in awe. You ignored it and started singing.

      "Can... Anypony.." You paused and regretted it. "Find me... Somepony to."

      "Love!" sang you, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom in unison! How kind of them to join in and help! You and the three fillies sang and at the end, you felt a warm paw on you and screams. You open your eyes and squeak in fright. Discord was holding you!

      "That was nice singing my dear." mocked Discord as he let you go, and you flew away.

      "Discord! What are you doing here? Girls, in formation!" ordered Twilight, but nopony moved.

      "Darling we stopped wearing the elements a year ago!" exclaimed Rarity.

      "A little irresponsible, eh?" mocked Discord.

      "We don't need the elements to teach you a lesson!" snarled Twilight as her horn glowed. Suddenly, the horn vanished and you gasped. "My horn!" Twilight gasped.

      "That's not all!" exclaimed Discord and an image of the three princesses Celestial, Luna, and Cadence were there. You felt anger rise inside you.

      "Let them go, you big meanie!" You command, and Discord laughs and you add,"I will give you the stare!" The crusaders cheer.

      "On no! Please anything other than your disapproving eyeballs!" Discord laughs. You start giving him the state and he stops. "Stop! I can't take it anymore! I will do anything you say because..." He laughs and you stop in confusion. Why doesn't the stare work on him?

      "Well, it is raining cats and dogs out there!" says Discord and he snaps his fingers. There are thuds and you see chocolate cats and dogs raining! Discord laughs and disappears.

The Dream

      You are Fluttershy, a yellow mare with silky light pink mane. Right now, you are having your nightly nightmare.

      First, you see yourself in a maze, where you met... Him... Discord was a reality bending draqonequus who was trapped in stone and came back to take over Equestria. Three familiar butterflies fly past.

      "Wait! Don't leave me here alone..." You call after them. The butterflies turn around in unison and stared.

      "So your so called 'friends' left you behind, huh?" Said the three butterflies all at once, in a high, in unconforting voice.

      "They didn't leave me behind, they were separated from me. A creature named Discord separated us." You replied, slightly scared. The butterflies sighed.

      "What do you think about them thinking you are a defenseless, weak pony?"

      "I am glad they understand." You replied, a little hurt the butterflies felt as if your friends were mean. All of a sudden Discord appeared in the butterflies' place.

      "Oh for goodness sake. You're to kind time to be mean!" Yelled Discord, clearly annoyed. He tapped your head and you became the bully you were. Instead of Twilight finding you with Applejack, Discord lifted you up, and you were in a dark forest, and you were normal.

      "Get away from me!" You lashed out, and Discord only laughed.

      "Fluttershy, my dear, you will never, ever, get away from me!" Laughed Discord, and you jumped out of your bed.

      "It was a dream..." You muttered to yourself
