Welcome To Ponyville, Butterscotch!

The cottage was quiet the next morning; none of the inhabitants were really energetic. It was merely a peaceful day, with Silent Night gone to play with the Crusaders, that left Fluttershy and Butterscotch all alone. For better or for worst......

It was about 12:46, and the Ponyville sun was beating down hard on the little town. Some of the ponies were resorting to swimming; others merely had fans. Fluttershy, however, enjoyed the sun. It helped all the plants grow, after all.

Butterscotch also enjoyed the sun, but he enjoyed watching the animals prance in it more. The creatures of all shapes and sizes were happily bouncing through the sunny plain known as Flutterhshy’s front yard. It was something out of The Joy of Music.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”, Fluttershy said randomly.

“Yes, it’s honestly quite heavenly”, Butterscotch said.

They sat in silence again, until they heard what sounded like a barrage of musical instruments slowly approaching the cottage.

Over the horizon came Pinkie Pie, dawning her musical instrumental from when she led the parasprites away. She was playing some kind of waltz.

She looked and found Fluttershy and Butterscotch sitting on her porch.

“Hiya Flutt-!”, Pinkie stopped dead in her tracks.

She looked stunned at the appearance of Butterscotch, and even cleared eyes. Her expression faded into that of udder awe as she looked over the stallion.

“F-Fluttershy? Is that....a male version of you?”, Pinkie asked with an awestruck expression.

Fluttershy and Butterscotch were caught, and knowing Pinkie, there was nothing they could do to escape it.

Fluttershy nodded and Pinkie came closer. She looked Butterscotch up and down put a hoof to her chin.

“Well, he’s definitely real. Fluttershy, how the toast did this happen?! And why didn’t you tell us?”, Pinkie questioned.

“I-I was unsure how you all would react. I mean it’s not everyday that this kind of think happens”, Fluttershy looked towards Butterscotch as she said that.

The poor stallion was shivering and cowering from Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie, being who she is, greeted the stallion in her usual manner. She knew how to treat him at first, seeing as how he was just Fluttershy.

“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie, what’s your name?”, she excitedly said.

Butterscotch just continued to shake.

“His name is Butterscotch”, Fluttershy answered for him.

“OOOH, I LOVE BUTTERSCOTCH! It’s like the best hard candy ever!!” Pinkie bounced excitedly.

Butterscotch felt like he was in a familiar situation. He knew somepony just like Pinkie Pie.

“H-H-Hi....Pinkie Pie..”, he sputtered out.

Pinkie put her hoof out and motioned for him to shake it. He inched his hoof towards the slightly shaking hoof. Surprisingly, Pinkie normally shook it.

“Wow, Pinkie Pie..You actually shook his hoof normally. Are you ok?”, Fluttershy asked her friend.

“I’m fine, Flutters. I just know how you are, and he’s just like you so go figure”, Pinkie goofily smiled.

The two buttery ponies smiled at her, and chuckled when she did her goofy smile.

“So Butterscotch, what do you like to do? I assume it’s all the things Fluttershy likes to do?”, Pinkie asked.

Butterscotch nodded, which earned a “I knew it!” look from Pinkie Pie.

“So Fluttershy, are you gonna tell the other girls?”, Pinkie innocently asked.

Fluttershy sported a look that would be found during an interrogation. Whatever she could say, it could set a chain off.

“W-Well, I don’t know. It’s not exactly up to me. Butterscotch, how do you feel about that?”, Fluttershy asked the stallion.

Butterscotch, though still tense, was acting a tad more calm.

“I-I don’t mind one bit, Fluttershy. It could b nice to meet new ponies. Though, I’ve already technically met them”, Butterscotch said.

Pinkie Pie was about to explode! She had so many questions, yet so little time. She decided in her head that she would ask them later.

“Oki Doki Loki! When would like to met the gang?”, Pinkie asked him.

“I wouldn’t mind some time soon. Maybe tomorrow? I mean, if that’s ok with you?”, Butterscotch said.

“That sounds super-duper! Alright, I’ll get invitations ready. Oh, and don’t worry about the entire town showing up. I’ll just invite the girls and whoever else is around”, Pinkie winked before bouncing off with her instruments, playing some kind of polka.

“She’s just like the one I know..”, Butterscotch said.

“Really? I’d like to hear about these other ponies you know someday”, Fluttershy said.

“O-Ok, I’d be more than happy to tell you. Anyway, I’m a bit tired. Is it alright if I take a nap?”, Butterscotch asked.

“I don’t mind one bit, Butterscotch”, Flutterhsy said smiling,

“You know, you don’t always have to call me Butterscotch. My friends usually called me Scotch or Butters, kind of like how Pinkie called you Flutters”, Buttrscotch said.

“Oh...Ok, Scotch. I’ll see you when you wake up?”, Fluttershy asked.

“Ok, Flutters; I’ll see you later”, Butterscotch said with a humble smile.

He trotted back inside the cottage. Fluttershy was left in a dreamy trance.

“Wow...He’s so polite. Not to mention he’s caring. And he’s also so.....”, Fluttershy trailed off,” Kind”.

“A-Am I....Falling for him? No, no I can’t be..Icant possibly be crushing on a male version of me”, Fluttershy said quizzically.

Just then, a paper airplane hit her in her mane. She looked at the headline the topped the paper.

“You are cordially invited to a party celebrating a new, special arrival to Ponyville!”.
