Fluttershy sped through class and hurried to the meeting room for sixth period and waited for Golden Dust to show up. Fluttershy had a plan to help Golden out, but she couldn't help but feel nervous. She took a couple deep breaths and felt a knot grow in her stomach. Suddenly, the door opened and Golden Dust walked slowly in. Her hands were cupped and she made no eye contact with Fluttershy what so ever when she entered the room. Fluttershy prepared herself, and she spoke.

"Want to go to the mall after school today?!" Fluttershy said that louder than she anticipated. Golden Dust jumped from her seat and had a look on her face that you'd see if someone had just seen a ghost.

"C-could you repeat that?"

"Um...would you like to go to the mall after school today?" Fluttershy gulped as Golden Dust sat back down and cleared her throat.

"W-why are you asking me to hangout with you?"

"I thought it would be a great way to bond with each other. If we get close enough, maybe I'll be able to get a better insight of how I can help you!" Fluttershy giggled nervously. Golden Dust thought for a painfully long moment. She sighed and looked Fluttershy in the eye with a scared expression and spoke.

"I suppose I can go out after school. W-we can meet up at the library. But, we're going alone? I-I don't mind if your bringing friends. I am just really shy...." Fluttershy felt that knot in her gut return. She wore an expression that said what's happening? She took a couple deep breaths and spoke.

"I have one other friend who coming with us, but if you want, I could tell her plans have changed." Golden Dust shook her head. Fluttershy nodded. "Okay. You'll like her. I'm sure of it!" Fluttershy tried to sound confidant, but inside she felt she was going to pass out. She felt like there was going to be something. Just one little thing that'll make everything go down hill and explode. The bell rang for the next period and the two girls grabbed their belongings and moved on to their next class.

After school, Fluttershy quickly gathered her belongings and went to Sunset Shimmer's last class.

"So, someone else is coming with us for shopping?"

"Yes...Her name is Golden Dust. She's that new student here and I've been counseling her. I thought it would help if we both got some bonding time. But, I could use you help." Fluttershy said quietly as they passed through the halls. Sunset made a confused look and spoke.

"How can I help?"

"I don't know. Just make sure she's happy. If she doesn't seem happy, then tell me and I'll find something to give her."

"Okay. You got it Fluttershy." Sunset smiled.

The three girls met up at the library and got into Sunset's car. They rode to the mall in silence. Fluttershy nudged Sunset's shoulder and looked at Golden Dust in the backseat. Sunset cleared her throat and spoke.

"So, Golden Dust? Where do ya want to go shopping first? The jewelry store? Shoe shop? Or even clothes shopping!" Sunset smiled widely. Golden Dust pondered for a brief moment and then spoke.

"I guess we could go shoe shopping... D-do you guys play video games?..." Sunset and Fluttershy nodded enthusiastically.

"The mall also has a video game store and an arcade! We can go there after we go shoe shopping. How's that?" Sunset said with pep. Golden Dust gave a small smile and a nod. The two girls smiled. Fluttershy felt that she was really getting somewhere with this girl! She just has to make sure that Golden Dust remained happy for the rest of their afternoon together.

The girls got to the mall and went to the shoe shop. After awhile, Golden Dust looked a little sad. Fluttershy and Sunset nodded, and Fluttershy spoke.

"Um...Golden Dust? Why don't we go to the gaming store, and then we can go to the food court?" Golden Dust looked at Fluttershy with a blank look and pondered. She then nodded. Fluttershy smiled and grabbed Golden Dusts hand and pulled her to the gaming store. The girls looked around at all the games. Golden Dust found one that she liked. Fluttershy and Sunset nodded.

"Golden Dust? Me and Fluttershy can get you the game! It's on the house!" Sunset smiled. Golden Dust gave a small smile and nod again. After the gaming store, the girls ate a fantastic lunch in the lunch court. After that, Sunset drove Golden Dust home.

"I hope you had fun Golden. We should hangout again soon!" Fluttershy smiled. Golden Dust smiled widely and hugged Fluttershy.

"I'd love that..." Golden Dust then let Fluttershy go and ran into her house. Fluttershy smiled widely and Sunset spoke.

"Your all the more closer to becoming friends with her. But...does she know that your doing this to become her friend and not because your her peer counselor?" Fluttershy perked up and thought. She had never considered that. "You probably should show her in some way your not doing this because it's just your job. Don't say it though, like, get her a gift to show that you want to be her friend. You do right?"

"Of course I do! I just never considered that she might've felt that way. Thanks for the tip Sunset." Fluttershy smiled. Sunset nodded and dropped Fluttershy off at her house.
