It was dark, and rainy, perfect to hide her cover. Who am I talking about? The little, delicate, yellow Pegasus, Fluttershy. She wanted to move, to get over her fears, to become one with nature, but she just couldn't tell her friends, or animals. They would be too sad. She left a note saying 'Traveling, don't look for me, I'm fine. I'll be back soon'. She was crying as severely as the rain storm at the thought of her friends, and animals she was leaving behind. She walked away from all she had known since the Pegasus race when she was a filly. She didn't want to leave her friends behind, but she needed to do this, alone. Her beautiful, flowing pink mane and tail were stuck up against her soaking wet body. Maybe she should have waited a day or two more until the rain was gone, but it seemed the weather patrol wanted to make it pour down; hard so they didn't need to again soon, and it just started yesterday. Anyways, the young mare was happy , but slightly terrified to finally be in the everfree forest. "Atleast in here it's not raining," thought Fluttershy. She felt a bump on her back leg. She jumped so high, she could see her cottage from the opposite side of Ponyville. The yellow Pegasus looked down to see what startled her. It was her bunny, Angel. "Angel, what are you doing here?" Fluttershy said, guiltily. Angel tapped his foot impatiently. "Oh, I forgot to feed you before I left." sighed Fluttershy. "Can you ask one of your animal friends instead?" she asked, hopefully. Angel just tugged on her leg towards the cottage. "Oh, fine, you win. I can't say no to- wait. I HAVE to say no this time, Angel. I'm sorry. You can ask one of the other bunnies where they got their food, because I'm not going to." Fluttershy said not unkindly. Angel climbed on her back and mumbled. "You are going to stay with me until I go back, aren't you?" the distraught yellow Pegasus asked. Angel just looked away. 'That bunny can get angry at anything. I needed to say no, though. I need to be firm. This is why I'm here in the first place.' she said to herself. Angel wasn't talking, so they continued through the everfree forest, to Zecora's hut.
