Fluttershy

The yellow pegasus head was bent against the cold rain. A small little bird hopped up to her. It tweeted. "I'm sorry. I don't have any food. Do you know of any places I could stay for the night?" The bird tweeted and the little pegasus. "Oh. Thank you any way." The bird flew off. For the third time that day Fluttershy tried to fly. She could find shelter above the clouds and sleep on one of them tonight. But the wind was to strong and her wings were too wet.

Fluttershy hiked twards the Everfree. Her mane was soked and dangling. She was shaking from the cold. She found shelter under a tree and closed her eyes. Maybe I can die here. She thought. "Do you see that? Oh my I think it's a filly!" a mare'svoice rang out. "I see it hony. Do you think she's still beathing?" A stallion asked. Fluttershy dare not open her eyes. She was halusinating. There was no mare or stallion comming to her rescue. She felt a hoof on her back and opend her eyes. There right in front of her. A peach colored mare and a mint colored stallion. "What's your name little filly?" asked the mare. "I'm F-F-Fluttersy." The shivering pegusus said. "Well Fluttershy How would you like to stay the week untill your parents come get you?" asked the mare. "I would love that."

Fluttershy

Fluttershy woke up with a gasp. She looked around. She was in a little bedroom and was wrapped in warm blankets. She felt her main. It was still slightly damp. How had she gotten here? Then she remembered. The rain, the cold, and then, the kind mare and stallion who took her in for a week. She decided the best decision would be to go downstairs. She still didn't even know the names of the two ponies who had saved her.

She was quiet when she came down the stairs. The peach mare was in the kitchen making some daisy sandwiches. "Hello, little one. How are you feeling?" She asked, smiling warmly at Fluttershy. "Better thank you." "I don't suppose I introduced myself. I am Rosemary Firefly. and my husband's name is Mister Wing." Explained Rosemary. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Fluttershy said. "Do you know where your parents are sweetie?" Rosemary asked. "Um," Fluttershy tried to make sense of the flow of memories that came over her. "I don't know, exactly." "I see." Rosemary sighed and smiled. "Do you want a daisy sandwich?" Fluttershy's stomach growled. She smiled sheepishly. "Yes please." Fluttershy ate the sandwich gratefully. "Thank you so much." Fluttershy said. "Hony, do you know where your parents are?" Rosemary asked again. This time Fluttershy tried hard to think. Where were her parents? "I think... I remember... umm... sorry... well, one day, I came home from school and couldn't find daddy. But I found mommy, but she was... but she was..." Fluttershy couldn't talk. Her throat closed up and she started to cry. "Oh, honey." Rosemary reached out and hugged Fluttershy. "I... I think I need to go to my room." Fluttershy choked out. "Okay. Let me know if you need anything." "Okay."

Scootaloo

Scootaloo walked towards the everfree. Rarity was busy, which means she couldn't stay there tonight. It was apple bucking season, which means Apple Bloom couldn't even think about anything then apples. And Rainbow Dash was off in Manehatten doing a show for the Wonderbolts. That left Fluttershy. She didn't know about Scootaloo's living condition. Nopony did for that matter. Perhaps she could stay the night...

Scootaloo knocked on Fluttershy's door. "Who is it?" a soft voice called. "It's Scootaloo. I was wondering if I could stay overnight?" Fluttershy opened the door. "Of cores! You're always welcomed here. Do come in." Scootaloo stepped inside the small, warm, buzzing cottage. Animals hopped over her hooves and she had to watch her step as not to crush any mice. "So," Fluttershy asked. "Where are your parents tonight?" "Oh." Scootaloo said. "They uh they are out of town!" "I see. And how long will they be gone for?" Fluttershy asked. "A week." Scootaloo replied. Fluttershy gave a loving smile. "Well, would you like to stay with me?" Scootaloo brightened. A week of not living on the streets,  Not wondering when her next meal would be? "I would love too." At least she could count on Fluttershy. What Scootaloo didn't realize, was that Fluttershy understood more than she thought.

Scootaloo

It had been a few days since Fluttershy had offered to let Scootaloo stay at her cottage. Scootaloo loved the cozy house and Fluttershy didn't set a lot of rules. Only to be home before the sun went down and be in bed by 9:00. Scootaloo was far from rebellious when it came to these rules. Actually, she loved them.  It was comforting knowing that some pony was looking out for her.

Scootaloo walked through the cottage door to the chirping of birds. Fluttershy was making her nightly rounds of feeding the animals. "Great, you're back. And right on time." Fluttershy flew back down to her and smiled. "How would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" she asked. "Really?" Scootaloo asked. She had never been out to dinner before. "I would love that!" "Great! I have reservations at Cafe Hay for 7:30." Cafe Hay! Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell were always talking about their Hay fries. She had never tried them because no pony ever threw them away. Scootaloo's wings started to buzz with excitement.  This was turning out to be the best day ever.

When Scootaloo and Fluttershy arrived at Cafe Hay, Scootaloo's mouth began to water from the pure smell. The waiter showed them to their table and gave them two menus. A few minutes later, he came back and asked what they would like to drink. "A water please." Fluttershy answered. "And for you?" The waiter asked. "I'll have a glass of fizzing apple cider thanks." Scootaloo answered. It was the most appetizing thing she could think of. The waiter nodded and walked off. "Is this your first time coming here Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked."Yes. It's even more amazing than I could have imagined!" Scootaloo exclaimed. Fluttershy let out a tinkling laugh. "And you haven't even tried the food yet."

When the waiter came back with the drinks, Scootaloo just took a sip of the fizzing apple cider. It bubbled in her mouth and she sighed. "What would you like to eat?" He asked. "I will have a tofu burger with a double order of Hay fries." Scootaloo said. "Excellent choice. And for you?" The waiter asked, turning his attention to Fluttershy. "I will have a daisy sandwich." "Coming right up!"
