New Friends, new losses

New friend (Fluttershy)

CH.1

    The sonic rainboom ended and Fluttershy got all the animals out of their hiding holes. Fluttershy finally had her cutie mark.

“Now how would I get to the nearest town?” Fluttershy asked to the little woodland creatures. They all shrugged their shoulders having no clue. All except one, fluffy white bunny that tugged on her to follow. Fluttershy followed the jumping ball of fur to some pony playing a guitar, she assumed it was the owner. She could tell he was younger by at most a year. He played his acoustic guitar leaning on a tree stump. He had a brown coat with different shades of black in his long mane, and his eyes were as blue as the sky she fell from.

“Excuse me,” the little filly said shyly.

“O... hi,” said the young colt.

“Does he belong to you?” Fluttershy asked quietly.

“who angel? yea, i guess you could say that, i like to take care of him.” “

he’s so cute!’ said Fluttershy happily.

“Are you lost?” Fluttershy blushed,

“yes, i was actually saved by butterflies by falling from cloudsdale because i couldn’t fly, and now i'm lost in the woods.”

“Are you okay?” the colt said with concern.

“why, yes, i’m fine.”

“Well, if you need me to, i’ll show to the nearest town to where i live, it’s a small town named ponyville.”

“oh! Thank you very much.” Fluttershy said cheerfully.

“by the way, my name’s Metaldy, what’s yours?”

“My name’s Fluttershy.” Metaldy strapped on his guitar and then angel hopped on his back,

“it’s nice to meet you fluttershy, i see you got your cutie mark.”

“oh, why yes, i would have never know my talent would be loving animals.” She blushed a little bit,

“Come on, follow me, i’ll show you the way out of here.” Metaldy said happily. The three head out of the woods and on the the wide dirt road that seemed to go on for awhile on both directions.

“lets head this way, we’ll be able to make it in my guess half an hour.” So the three headed off to ponyville.

CH.2

“Do you have a family Fluttershy?” Metaldy Asked.

“yes, but... there in Cloudsdale and even though i love them very much, i’d rather not go back.” Fluttershy said, she was very sad about not seeing her family, but out of the past, she decided not to go back. A tear ran down eye eye and past her cheek.

“Hey,” Metaldy said calmly,”don’t cry okay. It’s not right, listen, whatever it is we’ll talk about it later, okay?” Metaldy said desperately. Angel hopped on fluttershy back and gave her a hug from the back of her neck. She smiles, then sniffles.

“Thank you, the both of you. You're being very nice to me.” Metaldy blushes,

“Listen, you can stay with me and my parents. Luckily we raise animals for a living, and my dad and mom could use the help.” Fluttershy’s face lit up in excitement,

“Really! Thank you soo much, i really appreciate it.” Fluttershy was excited to see her new home. they continued walking for about half an hour down the dirt road when they came across the town.Fluttershy was surprised to see that it was not a very big town at all. When they had entered the town everyone seemed really nice. All the houses were simple and not too decorated, the shops were not completely packed and they even have a market.To Fluttershy this was a dream come true. The town wasn’t overly populated or too underpopulated, it was a perfect mixture.

“Hey Metaldy!” some pony said while walking by,

“Hey!” Metaldy said back while waving his hoof. Fluttershy was now even more excited that she got to live here in this nice of a place she wished she had known before.

“As you can see,” Metaldy said, “ everyone’s really nice.”

“I can see that, it seems like a paradise here!” Fluttershy said happily.

CH.3

    As they lead up to the curvy dirt road that lead to a cottage mixed in as part of the tree.

“so peaceful” Fluttershy’s eyes grew in excitement.

“come on, you’ll like my parents.” Fluttershy trotted excitedly behind Metaldy. Fluttershy walks into the cottage and sees mare in the kitchen making a salad. Metaldy and Fluttershy walk into the kitchen and Fluttershy notices a stallion out in the back yard. Metaldy says

“Hey Mom, this is fluttershy. i was hoping it was okay if she stayed with us for a while.” The mare walked up to Metaldy. She has the same pattern of mane that he did, but in red, and had an orange coat and her eyes were green.

“sure,” she said happily. Fluttershy lowered her head nervously.

“it’s okay, don’t be afraid, you can call me Mrs. Mela.” Fluttershy smiled to see how friendly his family was, her family. she was overjoyed with happiness to be accepted into such a caring family.

“i’ll go tell your father Metaldy, he would love to hear the great news.” She said as she walked to the door. She opened the door and saw the stallion getting pulled by a big pig.

“Hey! No fair!” he yelled as he got dragged across the ground.

“Come on, lets go sit down at the table.” They both sit on chairs at the table opposite of each other.

“Do you have any friends?” Metaldy asked Fluttershy.

“Besides you-” Metaldy blushes, “- there’s Rainbow Dash.”

“Do you know where she’s at now?” Metaldy asked curiously.

“She’s at cloudsdale i think, atleast that was the last i saw her before i fell.” The door opens and the father walks in with a little dirt on his face.

“So this is the filly that’ll be staying with us?” He stared at Fluttershy for a second.

“Welcome to your new home Fluttershy, you can call me Mr. Mela, easier to remember.”

“Thank you very much” Fluttershy was overjoyed to be so accepted.

CH.4

    “Why don’t you give Fluttershy a tour of the house Metaldy?” Mr. Mela said

“Sure.” Metaldy said.

“Come on Fluttershy, tomorrow i’ll give you a tour of the town”

“Okay.” Fluttershy said cheerfully. The house was a decent sized cottage, it was very comfortable. After the tour he showed her the room she’ll sleep in.

“It looks amazing.” She said cheerfully. it was a pretty small sized room but still comfy.

“Do you think i can help your dad with the animals?” Fluttershy asked Metaldy excitedly.

“Sure. He could use the help.” Fluttershy got excited. The both of them walked outside the back door.

“Hey dad.” Metaldy said.

“Hey Metaldy, hey Flutter- whoa!” Yet again, he was being dragged by the same pig, trying to hold on to get him to calm down. After letting him loose, the father dizzily walks over the the filly and colt.

“O dear, are you okay?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yea, i’m fine.” He said.

“Fluttershy wanted to help with the animals.” Metaldy told his dad.

“Go for it! I need a rest.” The father sits down for a rest on the ground. “

Fluttershy that’s not a good idea,” Metaldy said worriedly, “i’m pretty sure that pig can do some serious damage on any pony.” Fluttershy continued on to the pig, the pig was riled up and seemed like a wild bull gone on a rampage. As Fluttershy approached the pig she said something that Metaldy and his dad couldn't hear. The pig instantly calmed down. As she walked back to them their mouths were left open amazed. Metaldy had never seen that pig so calm before.

“Oh my, did i do something wrong?” Fluttershy asked scared like. Metaldy’s dad got up.

“No, i just never thought i’d see the day that someone would calm that pig down. What did you do to him?” He asked.

“I talked to him.” Fluttershy said peacefully.

“Whatever you did was amazing,” stated Metaldy,

“that pig has the temper of the dragon.” They all laughed and went inside.

CH.5

    During dinner it was quiet for about a minute or two.

“What made you decide you really didn’t want to go back to your other home Fluttershy?” Metaldy’s mom asked curiously. Fluttershy has gotten to be a lot more comfortable with them while Metaldy is around.

“Well, you see, my family isn’t like me,... they’re very mean and sometimes doesn’t know how to control their anger. Me and my mother were  the only ones in the family that was able to avoid fights daily, whether it be from accidentally bumping into people or picking fights with family about silly things. That’s why i didn’t want to go back.” The family stared at her, feeling sorry for that which they did not know.

“A sweet little filly like you shouldn’t have to deal with that.” The mother said, sorrow in her voice.

“I’m sorry i didn’t know, I wouldn’t have asked you before if I had known that’s what happened.” Metaldy said apologetically.

“It’s okay, there was no way you would’ve known back there.” Fluttershy said, comforting Metaldy. After dinner, it was time for them to go to bed, the parents went into a room while Metaldy and Fluttershy went into their rooms upstairs. Asleep, Fluttershy dreamt of fire surrounding her. All of her family, except for the mother, was outside of the fire, laughing, fighting each other, with evil dark red eyes. The fire and them started to vanish, however the voices were still there, mocking, calling names, yelling, then her mother appeared ahead of her walking away from her, into a forest.

“Mother!” She yelled, running after her, it seemed like she was getting nowhere when she finally tripped. She looked up to her mother as she was slowly disappearing into the forest. Fluttershy awoke leaning up on her bed, she yelled, only for a second, it wasn’t loud enough for the parents to hear. But Metaldy heard it from his room that was just across the hallway, he got up quickly to check on her. When he entered her room her face looked like it was in shock, tears ran down her cheek and she tried not to completely cry.

“What happened Fluttershy?” Metaldy said panicky, he feared something and injured her.

“I’m so sorry Metaldy, i just had a bad dream.” she said. Metaldy sighed in relief.

“Wait here a second okay?” Metaldy told Fluttershy as he left the room. Fluttershy waited for about a minute, Metaldy came back in with a glass of water and his acoustic guitar strapped around him. He gave Fluttershy the glass of water, she sipped from the cup as he had gotten ready to play a song, he sat down on a stool next to the bed.

Then he sang to her while playing his guitar.

Fluttershy looked in awe. She did not expect anything like that. Her tears quickly went away , he went up to her and wiped off the leftover tears on her face and tucked her in. The entire time fluttershy was blushing.

“That was really good Metaldy, i didn’t know you could sing like that.” Fluttershy told him.

“Thanks, i don’t like using my voice like that a lot, I’m afraid of people getting the wrong idea.” He commented while tucking her in.

“What was the name of that song?” Asked Fluttershy. Metaldy stood there for a second trying to remember the name of the song.

“I think it was called hush now quiet now, sometimes people will sing it to each other if they can’t fall asleep fall asleep or having trouble.” Fluttershy felt a lot better, she fell asleep quickly after metaldy left the room, the rest of the night she slept peacefully

CH.6

    “Good morning everypony” Fluttershy said as she walked downstairs.

“Good morning!” Everypony else said back. After breakfast, Metaldy decided to take Fluttershy on a tour of the town. Right after heading outside, to Fluttershy’s surprise she saw Rainbow Dash Flying around.

“Fluttershy! Are you here?” Rainbow Dash was yelling as she scanned the town from the sky.

“I’m guessing that’s supposed to be your friend you were talking about?”

“Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash spotted Fluttershy and flew towards her and landed next to her.

“You’re okay right?” Rainbow Dash asked her.

“Yes i’m fine, sorry for making you worry so much.” Fluttershy said apologetically.

“It’s okay, some other colts in cloudsdale told me they saw you fall,I’m just glad you learned to fly before you hit the ground,” Rainbow Dash said relieved. “and who is he?”

“That’s Metaldy, i guess i have a lot to explain to you don’t i?” Fluttershy said blushing. Fluttershy told her how she was caught by butterflies passing by and she also had told her how she got her cutie mark and ended up here.

“How did you get your cutie mark?” Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash.

“OH YEA!!!!!, I forgot to tell you!” Rainbow dash screeched.

“What happened?” Fluttershy and Metaldy asked together. Her smile grew big and wide.

“I made a SONIC RAINBOOM!!!” Metaldy and Fluttershy’s mouths dropped.

“You did that?” Metaldy asked her with amazement.

“Yep! i beat those jerks in a race they’ll never forget!” Rainbow dash said punching the air, mimicking the scene as if it was a fight. Rainbow Dash told them both all about it.

“That’s amazing, hey, i have an idea, listen. I'm About to give Fluttershy a tour of the town, you're welcome to join if you want.” Metaldy said to Rainbow Dash.

“Awesome.” Rainbow Dash said. Metaldy gave both of them a tour of the town, they saw everything including the town hall, bakery, library, etc. “It’s getting late, I’m heading home now, bye Fluttershy, bye Metaldy, take care of Fluttershy for me!” Rainbow dash said as she flew away. Fluttershy and Metaldy both go inside.

CH.7

    Everything went well for about a year, Fluttershy helped the father with the animals while Metaldy helped the mom to cook the food.  Every now and again Rainbow Dash would drop by and visit, and they’ll take a break from a work and hang out. One morning the pigs weren’t in there house or in the back yard.

“Do you think someone stole them?” the father said. By now the mother and Metaldy was outside helping them search for the pigs.

“Look at that!” said Fluttershy, there was a whole in the fence.

“This must be where they have gotten out.” The father said. Everybody went to the whole, next thing you know they saw footprints, it led to the evergreen forest.

“I’ll go after them.” the father said.

“Let me go with you.” said Fluttershy.

“No, it’s too dangerous, the less attention that i get in there the better, stay here everybody.” the father said as he jumped the gate and walked off into the forest.

“Come on, lets go inside,” the mother said to the children,

“This isn’t the first time he went in there.” The mother stated, trying to get the kids inside.

“I’ll stay out here.” said Metaldy. Fluttershy looked at him with concern in hopes he’ll be okay she said,

“If it’s okay with you, i’d like to stay out here with him.” She said looking at the mother. The mother looked back at her, smiled, and nodded. Fluttershy sat next to Metaldy and the mother went inside.

“AH!” they heard from the forest of what they knew to be the father. They both stood up and looked at each other, they both had the same idea. they nodded at each other and ran into the forest. their hearts were racing in hopes that he was okay. However, shortly after entering the forest they fell off a ledge. Fluttershy then quickly held on to Metaldy and flapped her wings, she was finally able to fly. Metaldy looked up at her in disbelief and amazement as they gently touched the ground.

“You did it Fluttershy! You flew!” Metaldy said in amazement. Fluttershy blushed,

“Oh, it was nothing special.”

“In any case, congrats! Now come on, we still need to find my father.” Fluttershy nodded, she was still blushing, thinking about not only the father now, but also of Metaldy. The had left the spot where they were at when they found hoofprints leading down inside a cave, the hoof prints seemed to have been following the pig prints around it. Now they were worried, they quickly ran inside the cave. After a while of exploring in it they hear a loud *THUMP*. They looked around the corner and saw a creature the size of a home. It had red scales  and smoke come out of its nose, it also had wings that seemed to expand wider than a regular house, it was a dragon, and it had cornered the father and the pigs. The dragon looked very angry.

“This isn’t good.” said Metaldy. Fluttershy then walked up to the dragon confidently.

“Fluttershy, you and Metaldy get out of here, you're no match for the dragon!” Fluttershy walked up to the dragon with a serious face on her.

“Fluttershy get back here!” Yelled Metaldy, he knew this would not turn out very good. The dragon lunged his tail ready to hit Fluttershy, Metaldy quickly leaps out of his cover and charges at Fluttershy. The dragon swings his tail in a downward motion, Metaldy tackles Fluttershy out of the way. That distraction was able to get the father and the pigs out of the corner and to the exit.

“Come on! Hurry!” the father yelled waving to them. They quickly run out of the cave with the dragon hot on their tail. They ran through the forest as fast as they can dodging everything from rocks, bushes, and trees, while the dragon crushed everything in it’s path. Soon enough they reached the outside of cottage, the mother heard the commotion and ran outside to see what had happened. the three of them were of breathe and the pigs were back in the yard. they all sighed relieved that they got away. The pigs however, were still riled up, Metaldy decided to calm them by playing a song. He ran inside to get his guitar, while he was inside the mother and father were talking. Fluttershy however, looked at the pigs, Something’s wrong. Fluttershy thought. Metaldy came back outside with his acoustic guitar. He went up to the pigs with Fluttershy to try and calm them down. -FOOSH-

“ROOOAAARRR!” The dragon suddenly popped out of the evergreen and charged at Fluttershy. Metaldy quickly reacted and pushed Fluttershy out of the way. Metaldy had used his guitar and smashed the dragon’s head with it. The dragon stumbled backwards and became furious. The guitar shattered to pieces, the only legible part that was left of the guitar was a part of the neck that had the name Metaldy scratched on it. The parents had no time to react and Fluttershy was just standing up. The dragon lunged and picked up Metaldy. The parents couldn’t reach him in time and he was too high, Fluttershy flew as fast as she could to get him. The dragon got farther away and Fluttershy lost momentum as tears covered her eyes,

“Metaldy!” she yelled as she grew weaker and weaker. After hitting the ground she fell and cried. Her body was too weakened she could not get up.

“Metaldy! NO!”
