Flutter’s Little Dragon Babies
After Fluttershy left the Dragon Lands, she couldn’t help herself but take three of the hundreds of baby dragons that been hatched from their eggs. One who is a harmless, but carefree fella, in the middle who’s red, but has horns on his head and the dark green one has the same hairstyle Spike had when he was a baby. Princess Ember accepts it after the times Spike told her about Fluttershy’s love towards animals. For the first time in Fluttershy’s life, she’s taking care of dragons instead of the usual animals she came across in the past.
Fluttershy arrives at her cottage with the three baby dragons she’s still carrying in her hooves. “We’re finally here, you cute little dragons.” She squealed in happiness. The dragons couldn’t get enough of how loving the pegasus was, and the best has yet to come.
Fluttershy opened her front door, entering the living room as she places the three dragons on her couch by the window, showing the view of the forest outside with singing birds whistling a meadow tune.
“I’ll be right back in just a minute, then I’m going to give you three adorable babies a name.” She giggled while the babies give her their dribble eyes. Fluttershy made her way in the kitchen to find her dragon pets something to stuff on. She open one of her cabinets that’s by her sink as she takes out a jar of small, but delicious gems. One of the most important foods for dragons to have.
She returns back in her living room and presents the gems to the three babies. “Little babies like you deserve a treat. These gems won’t get eaten themselves.” As she places the bowl on a wooden stool, the three dragons eat the gems with their claws.
Fluttershy couldn’t look away from the sight of the dragons she brought home. To her, they’re one of a kind of three and it became a miracle if they see her as her mother, like Twilight is to Spike. She leans up to one of the babies and gives the white dragon her beautiful eyes so he can get his attention on her.
“Since you’re someone who’s so trustworthy, I’m going to call you...Glycon because you’re a boy.” She padded on Glycon’s head. The white baby found his name satisfied while his mother turns to the red dragon.
“You look like someone who’s going to be a sweet angel when you grown up so I’m calling you...Ava.” Fluttershy kisses the red dragon on his nose, then turns to the final dragon she still hasn’t named yet.
“And you just look like Spike when he was your age. The way your eyes look similar, and your hair being the same as his, you might get along with him when you grown up.” She commented as she’s mesmerized with the green dragon. There’s a lot she can say about him but she said enough. “I’m calling you...Sobek.”
After giving all three babies their permanent initials, she sits on the ground and as her, being their mother, she has to make new rules around her cottage.
“As much as I love all of you, I unfortunately cannot take you to my meadow with my other animals.” Just when the babies return back to the gems they’ve been eating, they were surprised at the first rule Fluttershy made.
“The other animals aren’t like you and when you get by one of mine, you might able to learn your fire breathing powers.” She didn’t continue because she knew what would happen that might scare the dragons. And also afraid that her meadow of her fantasies could turned into a graveyard with all the animals running away from the flames.
However this made the three babies cry badly. “No no no, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.” Fluttershy noticing the tears from her babies. She tries to show them the gems again but it didn’t work since they’re not as good as they think. Then Fluttershy found a way to calm them down.
“I’ll promise when you’re all responsible, I’ll take you all to my meadow.” This manage to cheer her babies up. “And maybe you would be able to take care of them like I do during my life. It would make me proud of all of you.” Then they smile that their fears just got away like a bird eating a earthworm while flying at high speed from the sky.
Fluttershy signed in relief as she gets back to her rules. “If I’m away from my cottage, I’ll have to hire somepony to take care of you and no offense, but I have two important jobs. Being a teacher and going on adventures with my friends.” The babies didn’t understand what she meant, because it became lost with them. Two jobs instead of one wonders if they will not have the most time with their mother.
“Unless when it comes to my teaching skills and my love towards animals, I’ll might show my students what I got today.” This made her babies more confused but Fluttershy went to her bag of photo memories from her past. One of the pictures she show is her as teaching in Twilight’s School Of Friendship along with her students.
Obviously these types of pictures can show a lot of fun possibilities for babies. Glycon, Ava, and Sobek loves Fluttershy’s teaching job. Her classroom and her students seem like a wonderful place to be in, while they also see some of the buildings from the background. They cheered at Fluttershy which she took notice.
“Oh, so you like my teaching job?” She asked. “Then maybe if I convince Twilight, the principal of the school, I’ll might do a...let’s just say, take your babies to work day...if we can work this out.” Fluttershy realized ponies don’t bring their babies to work whatsoever.
After they manage to finish all the gems out of the bowl, Fluttershy picked the bowl up and returned it back in her kitchen. She again returns back in her living room while the babies burp from all the gems they ate. Their bellies couldn’t get anymore filled from their first ever snack. Fluttershy giggled at her babies, always loving to see every single adorable thing from any animal who’s young.
“Well, I guess all of you had enough of the gems right?” Then Ava burped from her mother’s question. “Well I can see it’s almost night time.” With the sun setting over the forest, the light continues to go away in Equestria. Fluttershy has one more thing to say to her babies before she sets them down to sleep.
“I want you to know that I’m the Element of Kindness. I show ponies and animals my true and only side. My other side though...I’m shy at times.” The baby dragons listen to their mother’s quiet, but charming voice but Fluttershy, like all the other times she spoke to animals for the first time, she feels depressed.
“I’m great with taking care of animals, but not good at talking to anypony I come across. If it’s in Ponyville or in Equestria itself, I’m always disappointed to not get over my shy disability.” She lowered her head in shame while tears slowing come down from her eyes. “And sometimes...it makes me feel empty in the inside!” She cries with her heart having the same feeling when she’s ashamed of herself.
Glycon, Ava, and Sobek couldn’t believe how sad their mother is right now. It almost made their hearts in the inside shatter into pieces. They never, EVER in their future want to see Fluttershy get so heartbroken just by her own words. Ava decided to carefully get off from the couch and walk up to her mother. When Fluttershy looks at her young baby dragon, she saw her doing her adorable sparking eyes.
One of Fluttershy’s abilities of being a wonderful animal care pony, she can easily see the kindness and love from any animal in their facial expressions. They show her their true heart of what they think about her and when that happens, it always makes her feel better.
“Why...you're really...something I never...see from any animal who tried to cheer me up.” Fluttershy picked up the red dragon and gave Ava a hug. Ava loves Fluttershy with the way she’s treating her. Then soon Glycon and Sobek got off the couch and joined in on Fluttershy’s hug.
Fluttershy felt like a new mother every single time she meets babies and takes care of them for the first time. Even if Glycon, Ava, and Sobek aren’t ready to be part of Fluttershy’s meadow, they can still stay at her cottage.
After that, Fluttershy takes all three of her baby dragons and tuck them in their bed. With dragons living completely different unlike other animals, they need to live similar to how ponies do. Fluttershy tells a story to Glycon, Ava, and Sobek which they enjoyed until they fall asleep halfway through. Fluttershy gave them a sweet kiss on their cheeks as she turns off her lamp in the room. Fluttershy can only wish Glycon, Ava, and Sobek would be something she can imagine once they get older, helpful and respectful, like Twilight’s little brother but most importantly, a heart full of kindness.
