Author's Note

The Spy of the Tiger needs to STOP DIGGING these HOLES everywhere.

Fluttershy was elected Equestria's bottomless put supervisor?

"Fluttershy, you care about the environment, right?" Twilight landed beside the pegasus.

"Eep! Er, y-yeah?" Fluttershy kept her gaze fixed on the bottomless pit, aptly-but-incorrectly-named "Bottomless Put" according to the sign that sat beside it.

"I want you to supervise this pit. Make sure it stays bottomless. All of Equestria's landfill goes into this pit, so we don't ever want it to overflow. Capiche?"

Fluttershy blinked for help in ~~Morse~~ Horse Code.

Without another word, Twilight dematerialized into a shower of sparkles. She'd clearly learnt well from Celestia.

Fluttershy stared down the pit again.

There was a bottom.

"Oh deer."

The deer currently standing at the bottom of the pit stared back at her.

Twilight landed again, this time on top of the deer in a manner performed so precisely that it was likened to posterity as being as if she had landed a blimp on a speck of dust.

"Why is the pit not bottomless?" Twilight deadpanned.

"Idon'tknowitjustturnedthatwaywhenyouleft!" Fluttershy squeaked, hiding behind her wings.

Twilight teleported herself and the deer out of the pit. "Just make it bottomless again. Discord's got time, right?"

"Akchully--" Discord emerged from the deer mech. "I'm running quite short on time. Do you know where the closest time station is? Need to refill the tank, y'know."

Fluttershy glared at Discord. "Fine then. I quit," she turnt and cantered away.

"Welcome, welcome, you here for the job opening we posted?"

Fluttershy sheepishly nodded.

"Alright, right this way dearie--" the old mare opened the gate. She paused for a moment, beckoning for Fluttershy to follow. "Come, come! You wanted to see the pit I'm restoring with the natural beauty of the forest, no?"

Fluttershy followed.

"...Where's the trees?"

The old mare laughed in cackling fits. "Where's the trees? Ha! That's exactly why you're here! This... this hole here has opened up and swallowed all my precious trees! You're a pegasus, would you be a deer and fly down there to check?"

Fluttershy sighed. "O-okay." She flared her wings but was stopped by a hoof.

"Tut tut, I said be a deer, didn't I?"

Somewhere at the back of Fluttershy'd mind, she wondered why this chapter was so deer-focused.

A deer costume draped itself across Fluttershy's back.

"Put it on."

Flutterdeer peered over the edge of the pit.

It was bottomless.
