Author's Note

and here is the conflict of our story.

Chapter 1: Oh No...

*ahem* so anyways after my little… incident, I was able to go about the day normally.

First was feeding the animals, and thankfully the old Fluttershy has a dietary list so I didn’t have the debacle of trying to figure out if I should go fishing for the Carnivores or not.

I had discovered that yes, it’s why there’s a river leading from the Everfree to my cottage in the first place… and despite what I suspected the fish seemed as dumb here as on Earth, so I had no guilt in catching them and deboning them for Harry, who seemed to rather enjoy boneless fish.

And apparently, after reading a book out of curiosity, Ponies are like other herbivores, they can eat meat, it’s just with their pacifistic nature they don’t. And if you don’t believe me, google it, herbivores can and have eaten meat before.

So it was perfectly fine for me to be grilling up some of the leftover fillets for lunch.

That’s when Squirrely (remembered his name from ‘May The Best Pet Win’) decided to show up, looking very concerned.

“[Fluttershy? What are you doing?]”

I looked over and smiled at the worried ball of adorable fluff. “Hello Squirrely, it’s just I accidentally got too much fish today and thought I wouldn’t waste it.”

“[but, it’s meat! I thought ponies don’t-]” I interrupted him with a sigh.

“I know it seems strange but… I’ve been feeding Harry and the others for so long, that Fishing eventually stopped bothering me, you need to understand that not only would I grow curious, but would also want to connect more to you all in some way, hay, at one point I might decide to climb up a tree to get some acorns.” I giggled alongside the Squirrel, who did find it funny.

“[I guess that makes sense, but your pony friends might…]” he didn’t finish, but I understood what he meant.

“I’m already keeping a much bigger secret, I’m sure one more won’t be much trouble.”

“[bigger secret? What… oooooh! Okay… so where’s my lunch?]” he asked innocently, and I gave him a knowing smirk.

“Squirrely, you know where it is, and I also know it’s your exercising day.”

“[but Fluttershy!]”

“No buts, you know as well as I do you need this or you’d get too heavy to glide around.”

He grumbled, but relented and ran off to get his food, which in its position involved a lot of effort.

In truth I just really didn’t want to give up meat, including a certain kind of fish, so BUCK social norms! Tuna Mayonnaise sandwiches for life!!

*THUNDER*

I ‘eep’d again.

WHO KEEPS DOING THAT?!

“Fluttershy? Are you home?” I heard a familiar voice call out to me.

Oh… now I know who…

A bit upset at my friend (since I am now Fluttershy, so Rainbow is considered my old friend.) I head out to spot the cloud she’s using, as I do she drops down to greet me.

Immediately I felt what I was going to say next die in my throat as I got a good look at her.

“Hey Fluttershy, what gives? I’ve been trying to get your attention for hours!”

“O-oh… um… hi Rainbow… I’m sorry… I didn’t notice…”

My once brash demeanour was pushed away to hide my raging hormones.

While normally I would be somewhat interested given how human they seemed and how expressive they were, I was now a pony. Meaning I had pony perspective, and my perspective screamed she was hot. The build of a born athlete showed with her body toned and firm, muscles showed but not too much to ruin her feminine figure, her mane seemed to shine bright in its prismatic colours… and her flanks, flanks that had an amazing curve, and that’s not to mention the droplets of sweat that made her coat shine… and the scent…

*throb*

Crap! Calm down!!

“Um… Equestria to Fluttershy?”

“Oh! Sorry… w-what did you say?”

“I was asking if you we’re still up for the sleepover next week at my place?”

S-sleepover… with Dash.

*throb*

“I-I’m sorry Rainbow… b-but um… something came up recently and I won’t have time!” I say before slamming the door in her face. “Sorry!”

“Um… okay…” I heard from the other side before she sped off.

“That. was. Too. close. I almost pinned Rainbow Dash and gave her a new kind of workout.”

*throb*

“Ah~! Stop that! Stupid hormones!”

Oh Celestia, this is terrible, my mindset and this body go too well, I’m going to have to rein in my own libido to keep from getting caught!

Oh buck this is going to be a pain!!

“Okay, calm down Fluttershy… you can do this, you can make it through the day without giving in.”

With that bit of reassurance, I got up to my hooves, did a few breathing exercises and after some needed Fish for Lunch, walked out.

My first task was to help a nearby Falcon who had a broken wing. Again another animal I remember from that episode, fortunately it seems that this is our first meeting.

“Oh… hello there, are you okay?”

“[unfortunately no my considerate acquaintance, I had been going on my usual hunt when a Hydra tried to snatch me up for a quick snack, luckily I managed to incapacitate it by tricking it into causing a rockslide, while I managed to escape the debris, the impact of one of the rocks to my side injured my wing.]”

I blink and mutter aloud. “How you managed to not end up Rainbow’s pet is beyond me.”

“[what was that?]”

“N-nothing!” I blurted out. “Now, could I learn your name?”

“[of course! I am Tiberius Hookbeak the Third! Pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss…?]”

“Fluttershy.” I externally said.

Internally I was all. HOLY BUCK! No wonder Fluttershy enjoys talking to animals! This is ridiculous and awesome!

“Well, Mr Hookbeak, climb aboard and I’ll get you to someone I know who’s good at treating hurt animals.” I say as I lower myself down and help the injured avian onto my back.

“[then make haste! I wish to be back in the open sky as soon as possible!]” he said, pointing with his good wing while I simply giggled to myself and trotted along to Dr Fauna’s Clinic.

“Hmm…” the doctor said, looking over Tiberius’ wing. “It seems to be a basic dislocation, just need to pop it… back… in!” she grunted as she pushed it back into place, earning a yelp of pain from the Falcon. “There, now it may ache a little, but just get some rest, avoid flying too much for a couple of days and then you’ll be as good as new.”

“[huzzah! To know that I am no longer going to remain grounded brings my heart joy! Thank you Miss Fluttershy, and you too good Doctor!]” he proclaimed.

“It was no trouble, Mr Hookbeak, but I only helped you get here, Dr Fauna was the one to do all the work.” I said humbly.

“Oh don’t be so modest, if you hadn’t reached him so soon it might have been much worse, you helped your friend here get better just as much as I did.” she praised, causing me to blush.

“Well… if you need a place to stay, my cottage is open, if you’re okay with not hunting, and instead eating fish while you’re there.”

“[it would be an honour, dear Fluttershy, and I will not harm anyone there, you have my word, gentle maiden.]”

“Oh stop…” I said with a soft smile and giggle.

After Tiberius was comfy and fed, I decided that with my outburst over with, maybe I should apologise to Dash, so after making sure I wasn’t going to lose it I headed over to her house.

And hit a hurdle.

Hmm… well, I’ve been walking on four hooves without trouble, this shouldn’t be as hard.

With some focus, and finally figuring out how to move my wings, I succeeded in my first flight, landing at the front door to her Cloud Home.

*Knock* *Knock*

“Coming!” the door opens. “Oh hey Fluttershy, I just finished showering.”

OH. DEAR. CELESTIA. WHY?!?!? Was all I could scream internally as I watched her still wet form shine, water dripping from her mane as it came down smooth and flat.

“No… problem… Rainbow…”

“Uuuh… you okay?” she asked, causing me to compose myself in an attempt to not think about it.

“Oh, sorry… actually… that’s what I came here to say… I’m sorry I acted so strange back at the cottage, I… I’ve handled the problem so I’ll be able to come here for the sleepover next week.”

“Awesome!” she said, happy to see her friend able to join her. “Remember, Friday Night, try not to be late.”

“Okay, I-”

“It’ll be great, and don’t worry, I know how nervous you are around other ponies so it’ll just be the two of us!”

At those last words my pupils shrunk to pinpricks. “w-what…?”

Unfortunately she never noticed as she hugged me… holding me close to her warm, dripping wet body… by that point I could only let out tiny whimpers that no-pony could ever hear.

“Seeya!” she said as she turned and closed the door.

Overall, my day went well, I reconciled with Dash, got my duties done and enjoyed some nice tea with my animal friends…

“Mm~! Fff~! Oh yeah~...”

Unfortunately my encounters with Rainbow had left me built up.

“Nnnh~!! So good! So soft!”

So now I was sating myself by bucking my pillow.

“Ah~! Rainbow I’m cumming~!!”

...quit judging me!!
