Do You Think She Did the Right Thing???
"Fluttershy!!! Fluttershy! Get up, get up, GET UPPPP!!! The carnival's finally here for the first time ever! It's going to be soooooooo AWESOME!!!" Fluttershy moaned into her cloud. Her best friend, Rainbow Dash, was waiting for weeks to attend this new carnival that can remain on the clouds, using the same kind of material pegasuses use to stay afloat. Finally, she decided to open her eyes to reveal a young teen, grinning ear to ear. Her hair was a burst of every color in the visible spectrum, and her eyes were a fierce hot pink. She had the most pathetic puppy-dog face Fluttershy had ever seen on a human.
"Okay, Rainbow, but may I please have some privacy to get myself ready? I don't mean to be pushy, but-"
"Say no more! I'll be waiting outside your door! Today is awesome, isn't it Fluttershy?!?" With that said, RD zipped out of the bedroom with a deafening slam of the door.
Fluttershy quietly slipped out of her cloud bed, and towards her mirror that was located just next to her nightstand, also constructed out of clouds. She saw a very thin and pale young woman attempting to smile. You can do this, Fluttershy she thought to herself. Angel will be fine. I'll set him up with a game or two. Fluttershy sighed. She knew that wasn't the reason she was worried. I know you don't like going out into crowds of so many people, but do it for your friend. Your only friend. With that somewhat confidence-boosting pep-talk, she combed her long, slightly curled lemonade-pink locks with the nearest comb. Fluttershy gently opened her droor of clothes, and carefully donned a pastel-yellow long-sleeved sweater, as well as a periwinkle skirt that fell to her ankles. She found her favorite Pinkie-Pie-pink ballet shoes, and quickly assembled a salad for Angel.
"Angel? Honey, can you please wake up?" Fluttershy's soothing and melodic voice aroused the snow white bunny, who muttered, unhappy about the early wake-up call. He twitched his ear to let her know he was listening.
"I'm going to be away for a little bit, I'll give you breakfeast before you go, although you don't have to eat it as soon as I leave, and I will set up a game or two for you to play while I'm gone. Will you be okay?" Angel made a hurt face. He loved his care-taker so much, he hated to see her go, especially with that rambunctious child they call Rainbow Dash. Angel trusted her, though, and knew she would return with lots of affection for him. Angel never really gets enough of her attention, and is upset if the spotlight is stolen by another animal Fluttershy considers adorabe, which is practically every animal she encounters. But as was stated earlier, he loves Fluttershy too much to leave her, and silently nodded at her request.
"Good. I will see you later Angel." Fluttershy approached her door, and she let out a barely audiable squeak as she found Rainbow Dash two inces from her face, still with a large grin plastered on her face.
"Took you long enough! Let's go!" Fluttershy's face turned a rosey red, and she squeaked again because Rainbow Dash whipped her into Cloudsdale by her right arm so quickly, Fluttershy was sure her arm would rip off.

When the duo approached the booth for purchasing tickets, Fluttershy's eyes grew wider, and she slumped into her thick locks to prevent anyone from looking at her face.
"This is sooooo AWESOME! Did I mention how AWESOME this is?..." Rainbow Dash was in a frenzy at this point, with her mouth moving a mile a minute. She decided to wear a neon-blue tank-top with slightly ripped tan shorts and matching blue flip-flops.
They both recieved their tickets and wore a bright purple band, showing the park employees that they were allowed on any ride they requested (that is, until the park closes). Rainbow Dash excitedly glanced at Fluttershy.
"Where to first?" Fluttershy was distracted by all of the people there, she didn't hear Rainbow Dash's question. Couples, parents and their children, even the popular kids from their high school decided to attend the carnival,which officially stamps this carnival as "cool," which scared Fluttershy half to death. If she messed up, everyone was sure to know at her school. Then a hand snapped in front of her face.
"Yo Fluttershy! Equestria to Fluttershy! You in there?" Fluttershy blushed.
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry about that. What is it that you need?"
"I was askin' you what do you wanna do first?"
"Umm...I'll let you pick." With that response, Rainbow Dash immediately pulled her over to the nearest roller coaster.

"That was AWESOME!! Did you see those loop-de-loops and drops? We were like, WHOOM! And then we were like, FWOOSH! And we were like 'OH MY GOSH! THIS IS SO COOL!'" Fluttershy didn't respond. Her eyes were twitching and her cheeks were flushed from the acceleration. As for her hair, it was outstreched far behind her head. She had been a real trooper the whole day, having been going through the same ride at least twenty times (she stopped counting after fifteen). Fluttershy was content that her friend was so estatic, but she still longed for her secluded home, away from the monsterous crowds.
"Attention all guests! The Carnival will be closing in five minutes! I repeat, the Carnival will be closing in five minutes!" A obnoxious, nasaly voice annouced throughout the park. Rainbow Dash looked dejected, but then her face suddenly lit up.
"Fluttershy! We have just enough time to win a prize from the games area," and she whipped Fluttershy to the nearest game booth.
"Step right up! Come now, don't be shy! All you need to do is guess your weight, and you win a prize if you're close!! Come now, step right up!" Rainbow Dash squealed in delight. Up in the booth were two fancily-dressed twins, both wore the same blue and white-striped suit, but one had a red mustache, while the other lacked it. Suddenly, the two of them caught Fluttershy shying away from the booth, looking at one another and nodding in agreement, they prepared to pounce on their newest pray.
"Say there, my prettly little lady, how's about you give this game a go? You look like a smart lady! Say, what's your name? Mine name is Flim, and this is my brother Flam!" The man with out the mustache confidently bellowed. Fluttershy blushed furiously.
"Umm...my name's Flutter..mumumumu." Flam put a finger in his ear.
"Sorry, say that one more time?"
"Fluttershy."
"Ah-ha! Here we are, folks! Little Fluttershy wants to try our new contraption! Just step right on that platform, and make a wild guess!" Flim put his arm around poor Fluttershy, and led her to a large black platform in front of a large scale, which had numbers that were visible from about 10 meters away.
"So what's your guess, my dear?" Fluttershy knew nothing about her weight, so she thought for a moment, and decided on the first number that popped in her head.
"Umm...190?" Flim and Flam looked at her questionably.
"...Well, if you say so. Start the contraption, Flam!" Flam pushed a large red button located to the right of the scale, and the dial on the scale flew all the way up to the number 187. Flim and Flam were flabbergasted. There was a unsettling pause that embarassed Fluttershy even further.
"...It looks like we have a winner! Pick your prize, young lady!" Flim pointed to a shelf in front of the booth with a bunch of colorful ponies awaiting to be claimed.
"I'll have...that one." And Fluttershy pointed to a yellow pony with wings and a long pink mane and tail.
Flam handed the prize to Fluttershy and she stroked the mane that belonged to the mare, but abruptly stopped when she heard a familiar voice.
"DAY-UM! For a girl as anorexic as Fluttershy, she sure is fat! Am I right, Hoops!"
"Yeah, bro! She sure is fat for a little, clumsy girl like Klutzershy!"
"Toatally obese, yet anorexic! Nice call, Dumb-Bell!" Fluttershy turned around to see the three most popular boys at her school: Dumb-Bell, Hoops, and Score, all the biggest jocks of the school with the prettiest girlfriends to complete their seemingly flawless image. Rainbow Dash angrily stomped over to Dumb-Bell.
"Hey! No one talks to my friend like that, you big jerks!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I won't mess with your girl, LESBIAN!" Dumb-Bell laughed in her face. Rainbow Dash's face turned into a deep shade of red, and she stepped back a foot, trying to fend off tears.
"Yeah, go back to your girlfriend, you idiot!" And Dumb-Bell pushed Rainbow Dash into a patch of dust. That was when Fluttershy snapped. She knew very well that Rainbow Dash was a lesbian, but she had a crush on someone else, who she promised to remain a secret. She had enough of shying away and being a pushover. She walked straight up to Dumb-Bell, and looked straight in his eyes, almost a foot from his face.
"Hey guys, check this out, Rainbow's girfriend is standing up for her!" Fluttershy ignored the comment.
"Hey, Dumb-Bell, do you want to know why I weigh so much?" Her voice as on edge, and was filled with ice. She didn't wait for his reply as she punched him full-swing and square in the jaw. He immediately fell to the ground, sobbing.
"Muscle weighs more than fat, Dumb-Ass."
