Fluttershy worked on her homework in class since she had some free time. The classroom was packed with students who talked with each and sat on their desks. Suddenly, the phone rang and after the teacher yelling for the students to quite down, she answered. After a short conversation, the teacher looked at Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy? The vice principal wants to speak to you."

The students stared at her and some whispered. Fluttershy grabbed her belongings and walked down to Vice Principal Luna's office.

"Now Fluttershy, I wanted to ask you for a favor. There's a new student who will begin her first day here tomorrow. Her name is Golden Dust and she needs someone to show her around."

"Sure! I can help her." Fluttershy perked up with excitement. Luna's expression suddenly changed to a sad look and she looked at her pencil to avoid Fluttershy's gaze.

"It's not going to be as simple as you believe. She's not only going to need you to show her around, but she needs you to be her peer counselor."

Fluttershy was shocked. She felt she wasn't able to help someone with stress.

"Why was I chosen to help her? I don't know if I can help someone with much. I'm not all the good at counseling at ALL!"

Luna stood from her chair and looked out her window.

"Fluttershy, you are one of the most if THE most caring student in this school. Your kindness has inspired many people at this school to be more caring. Golden Dust needs someone to help her. You are the only one I can think of who can help her." Luna walked over to Fluttershy and held her hand.

"I know you think you can't help her, but please try."

Fluttershy thought about it for a moment and then looked up and nodded.

"Thank you Fluttershy. You will spend sixth period everyday with her for counseling. Okay?"

Fluttershy nodded and pretended that she was brave, but inside she felt terrified. She was scared of letting Golden Dust down if she doesn't know how to help or not know what advice to give.

The next day at around lunch time, she was called to the front of the school to show Golden Dust around school. Fluttershy walked down the hallway and felt a knot grow in her stomach. She walked around the corner and saw a girl with grey skin, blue hair with a pink bow in it, and a sweater with a skirt and sandals. Fluttershy took a couple deep breaths and then walked up to the girl.

"Hi there...I'm...Fluttershy. You must be Golden Dust correct?"

Golden Dust looked at Fluttershy with a blank face. She stared at Fluttershy for about fifteen seconds before she looks away.

"Yeah... You my peer counselor and tour guide?"

"Yes I am. Let me show you around!" Fluttershy grabbed Golden Dust's hand and walked down the hallway. Golden Dust felt scared and felt suspicious of Fluttershy and kind attitude. She pulled her hand away.

"Sorry but, I'd prefer not to hold your hand. Nothing personal but I can keep up with you...." Golden Dust looked away and scratched her head.

"Oh! Of course! I don't want to make you to be upset. Anyway, that's the science lab. That's the library. That's the-" Golden Dust tuned Fluttershy and pretend to listen. She felt worried about Fluttershy's kindness. It just didn't feel...normal to Golden Dust. Fluttershy acted like she WANTED to be with Golden. Golden felt scared but, somewhat happy. She couldn't explain what it was, but she felt happy about this girl.
