This is an alternate telling of the episode "Putting Your Hoof Down". With her friends stressing that she needs to stop being such a pushover, Fluttershy agrees to attend an assertiveness seminar hosted by a minotaur named Iron Will. Unfortunately, it works a little too well...

Like my previous story, this fanfic is my attempt to write a better version of this episode. First off, the ENTIRE Mane Six appears in this version rather than just half of them. I also tried to make Iron Will more villainous, which I think was lacking in the actual episode.

However, I mean no disrespect to the people responsible for the show, nor do I claim ownership of My Little Pony. This fanfic is purely for fun, and is simply my opinion.
