The Map's Sending Us Where?

Morning had arrived in Ponyville and like she does every morning, Fluttershy was up feeding her animals before fixing her own breakfast. Like it always was, the animals were happy, all but one, Angel. Angel was a picky eater and unlike the other animals, he demanded something much fancier than mere pellets.

Once she was finished feeding the other animals, she began to search her whole kitchen looking for something that would meet the rabbit's expectations. After five minutes of searching, she turned to Angel and said, "Angel, I'm sorry but I don't have anything special, you'll have to settle for pellets today."

After she poured them into his bowl, he kicked the bowl, yanked on her tail and began squeaking loudly, demanding that he be fed. Fluttershy gave him a stern look and said, "Angel, I'm sorry but I don't have anything and I'm hungry. After I eat my breakfast, I'll go get you something special."

Again he pulled on her tail, only harder this time but over the years Fluttershy had learned to stand up to him. She gave him the stare and again said, "Look, I'm hungry and I don't have anything special. I will get you something after I'm done eating."

Angel continued to stand there, stomping his foot on the floor and occasionally pulling on her tail hoping it would cause her to cave in. After twenty minutes he finally realized that this tactic was not working so he decided to jump up on the table and whimper. He thought that perhaps trying to draw sympathy from her would be far more effective. Much to his surprise though, she told him he would have to wait until she could go and get him something.

Just as soon as she took her last bite of oatmeal, her cutie mark began to glow and a replica flew off and headed towards Twilight's castle. She shouted, "The map!"

Without even thinking about anything else, she headed to the castle and rushed into the throne room, where she would find not just Twilight, but Starlight and Spike giving the map a curious look. She took a closer look at it and noticed that it was her and Fluttershy being called to the castle of all places. Both of them were shocked by this. Fluttershy asked, "Uh Twilight, why is the map calling us to the castle?"

Twilight replied, "I'm not sure because the map has only ever called us for friendship problems." She turned towards Starlight and Spike and asked, "Are either of you two having any problems?"

Starlight replied, "Nope, I'm good."

Spike added, "I'm good as well."

This was something that was confusing Twilight a lot. Something then crossed her mind, "Maybe something will arise here soon or a couple of our other friends will come to us with a problem." She then pointed her wing towards the exit and added, "I don't mean to be rude but could you two go out for a while so we can figure this out?"

The two nodded and headed towards the exit. Twilight and Fluttershy continued to stare at the map, watching their marks circling the palace until something that had never happened before happened. The inside of the castle showed up and their marks went to a place that neither one of them expected, Twilight's bedroom.

Fluttershy gasped, "It's calling us to your bedroom?"

This was something that shocked Twilight beyond belief but she couldn't help but wonder if the map is branching out beyond friendship problems. She had had a crush on Fluttershy from not all that long after she arrived in Ponyville so she gave her a slight smile and replied, "It looks that way."

Twilight was happy that the map had called them together for the second time but Fluttershy did not know that she had a crush on her. Twilight also felt like her bedroom was not exactly the best place to reveal her crush, especially since even just going up there may make Fluttershy feel uncomfortable.
