The tranquil morning trot through the woods had started off like any other. Peaceful with her listening to birds chirp and talking to her many furry friends.

Though it took an unexpected turn when she accidentally discovered the creature in front of her.
At first, she was frightened. Right there was none other than one of the defeated Storm King's minions. While most had fled upon his defeat or stuck around to seek forgiveness......She guessed this one was most likely hurt in the battle.
His fur was damp and matted, his body was far too skinny for someone his size should be, and it looked like he had been there for a good while.

She hesitated to do anything at first. I mean this was an enemy. Someone that could do her harm. But after some more thinking.....She relented and talked one of her bear friends into helping her take the strange creature back to her cottage. Once there, she cleaned him to the best of her abilities and healed whatever wounds she could.

Which lead to the present. Said creature was now laying on the couch with a VERY angry bunny staring at him. All her other animals were too scared to go anywhere near him. Said bunny tapped his foot against the ground and gave the Pegasus a scowl before pointing a paw at him.

"Now, now. That's no way to treat our guest. It's not his fault he was hurt." She carefully balanced a bowl of salad on her head before trotting over and expertly tilting her head down to slide it on the coffee table. "Besides, I couldn't just leave him out there to starve or really hurt. It just didn't seem right."

The rabbit shook his head and made a few squeaks while waving his arms frantically.

She gasped. "Angel! That wasn't a nice thing to say." He made more chittering sounds. "Yes. I know he worked for the mean king, but he was still hurt."

She reached out a hoof gently pat said slumbering creature but froze when he lurched away. Angel squeaked before hopping away in terror.

She stayed frozen as two blue eyes opened and looked directly at her. Neither moved a muscle as they continued having this staring contest.

She slowly smiled and put her hoof back down. "U-Um....-" She trotted a few steps back. The creature following her every move. "H-Hi," she said barely over a whisper," You feeling better?"

In an instant, the creature made a loud noise of some sort and lunged. She let out a squeal as two arms suddenly latched onto her and pulled her against a furry chest. At first, she froze in fright but soon calmed herself and tried to squirm free.

Which didn't work out too well. She was suddenly held out and saw....his eyes crinkled up in a smile. She was pulled into another hug before she was able to squeeze out of his grip with a flap of her wings and hovered a little ways from him.

"Um....Thank you for not hurting me. Uh...." Her eyes quickly darted to the bowl. She quickly picked it up before holding it out to him. "Are you hungry?"

Instead of answering, he waved a hand and pointed at himself.

"Um.....I don't understand."

He then pointed to himself again before balling his fist and putting it to one of his eyes in a crying motion. She paused for a moment......but slowly a look of realization came over her.

".....Are you the one that was really upset?"

He gave a happy grunt and nodded vigerously

She smiled. "Oh! It's you!" She giggled and smiled wider. "You poor thing here." She held the bowl out to him. "You're soo thin. You need to eat something."

He leaned over to sniff at it before grabbing it suddenly and forcing his face into it. She watched startled as he devoured the contents within the bowl. When he finished, he held it out to her and gave a thrum.

She blinked. "Oh. You want more?" He nodded. "Oh. Ok. I'll be right back." She grabbed the bowl before flying off.

-About Three Bowls Later-

He happily laid on the couch thrumming in content. The shy Pegasus smiled at him.

"There you go. All better."

He purred.

"Um....I hope you don't mind me asking. But how did you get so hurt?"

The creature paused before pointing at himself.

"You?" His hand held up two fingers. "Two words?" He then hit the floor two times before holding up one finger. "First word. Two syllables." He made a wave motion. "......Water?" He grunted in approval before then raising his hand and making it go down.

"Um....Watered down? Down stream? Under water?" He shook his head."........Waterfall?"

He gave a grunt and pointed at her.

".....You fell down a waterfall!?"

That would explain why he was found on the riverbank. Last time she saw him was at Celestia's castle, and there was a rather large water fall under it. How he survived that fall and how he fell she'd never know.

"Oh my goodness! You poor thing! I'm glad you're ok."

He gave off a thrum.

"What's your name?"

He paused for a moment before reaching down and dragging one of his nails across the coffee table. She stared startled but soon realized he scratched a word into it.

"......Blue? Is that your name?"

He nodded and she smiled.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Blue. I'm Fluttershy."

He gave a happy thrum and reached out to grab her again. Only to gently hold her against his chest in a hug. She only smiled and looked up at him. His purring and thrumming greatly reminded her of a giant cat. This storm creature. Or maybe Storm King's Minion? Maybe twilight would know what he is? Right now she just giggled and snuggled closer into his soft fur. But one thought made her freeze.

"Oh dear."
He stopped and looked at her curiously.

"How am I going to explain this to Discord?"


Author's Note

OK! Been wanting to do a Fluttershy x that one Storm Creature from the MLP the Movie. I don't know his actually name, so for this I'll call him Blue. All mentioned characters belongs to Hasbro &Co.
