Friendship is Magic, Love is Chaos
The Letter
Load Full StoryNext ChapterFluttershy was just getting ready for a buckball game when she checked her mail to see if anypony had sent her anything. Then she noticed something. A letter was in there. She could have sworn it wasn't in there before. She took the letter out and opened it. It read
Dear Fluttershy,
Please meet me in the Crystal Empire in the park today. Don't worry about tickets, yours is taped to the back of the letter. Trust me, you'll know me when you see me.
Fluttershy looked at the back of the letter and saw her train ticket. "Should I go? I have a game today but, I suppose Rainbow Dash could fill in for me. Besides, the letter seemed important, and whoever did this paid for a ticket. I should at least go to thank them,"
She decided it would be a good idea to go, for if she didn't she would never know who sent her the letter.
Rainbow dash was getting ready to go the game when she heard a knock at her door.
"Come in!" she shouted. Fluttershy stepped in. "Oh hey Fluttershy, what's up?"
"I was wondering if you could fill in for me at the game today. Something came up last minute,"
"Sure, I'd be more than happy to. What came up anyway?"
"Somepony asked me to meet them today,"
"Really? Who?"
"I don't know, they didn't sign it. All they said was you'll know me when you see me,"
"Maybe it was somepony you haven't met who knows about you,"
Fluttershy shrugged. "Maybe. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Fluttershy sighed. She really did want to know who sent it. Maybe it was just a prank. No, that wasn't it. Maybe somepony wanted to talk to her in private. Maybe somepony from the Crystal Empire needed help with an animal. Or maybe she was looking too much into all of this. Just then she looked at the time on her ticket. She had to be there in five minutes.
Four minutes later
Fluttershy leaped onto the train just before it left. As soon as she was on she spotted somepony she knew.
"Starlight? What are you doing here?"
"I'm meeting Trixie. Why aren't you at your buckball game?"
"I had to go to the Crystal Empire to meet somepony last minute. Rainbow Dash is filling in for me,"
"Oh. Who are you meeting?"
"I don't know. I just got a letter saying to come to the park. It appeared in my mailbox this morning,"
In an instant Starlight knew who it was. " I think I know who sent the letter. In fact, I'm surprised you haven't, seeing as you know this pony so well,"
"Who is it?"
"Who would leave something in your mailbox just as you were checking it for the final time in the day? Also, did you see the ticket before you read the letter or after?"
"After. I must not have noticed it before,"
"Or he made it appear there,"
"He?"
"Think about it Fluttershy, who would send you a letter so randomly, make the tickets appear only when you look?"
Fluttershy gasped. "You mean he sent it to me!? Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am. And why are you acting all crazy about this letter? You two send letters to each other all the time,"
Just then, Starlight's lips formed into a smile."Ohh, I see what's going on here. You have a crush on Discord!"
"Not so loud! Besides, you have secrets too, Stormstarter,"
Fluttershy smiled deviously. She knew Starlight, she had for a while. Starlight was a legend in the underworld. That was where ponies would get things they couldn't get anywhere else. Weapons, magic, information. Many ponies there would go by different names. Starlight was a legend.
"Wait, how did you know I was Stormstarter?"
"You were a legend, plus, I knew you personally. Don't tell anypony but, I was in there too. I wanted some information on Cloudsdale. I knew they were hiding something. I think it's also where I met 4 of my coltfriends,"
"Wait a minute, I know who you were! Were you, no, that's not possible,"
"That's right, I was Adagio. Plus, I'm kinda surprised you didn't know Trixie from sooner or later. She was Sonata,"
"Ohhh, right, now I remember her. I paid her a price and she gave me a forbidden spellbook,"
"Anywho, promise you won't tell anypony about any of this conversation, especially Discord,"
"I won't tell a soul,"
"I'm still nervous about Discord, though, what if I act weird and he doesn't like me anymore?"
"I don't think he'll stop hanging out with you if you act weird,"
"True, I want to tell him about how I feel but, I just can't,"
"You don't have to tell him, but, at least try to see if he likes you in the same way,"
Starlight smiled, she knew Discord had a deep love for Fluttershy and she wanted to tell her so but she knew it was better for them to figure out their feelings on their own. Starlight wanted to ask more questions but just as she opened her mouth, the train stopped and Fluttershy had already left.
Author's Note
Fluttershy is very out of character right now but she does have that hidden personality in this fic so yeah. Also, Fluttershy saying that Cloudsdale was hiding something was a reference to Rainbow Factory. But this doesn't take place in the same universe as the fic or song.
