Author's Note

Giving it my first attempt to write fluttershy,wish me luck

Company

I was drawn out of my resting pain by a familiar laugh echoing from downstairs, even through closed doors you could hear her voice. I groaned and shakily rose onto my hooves, when I went to take a step I tumbled but was quickly able to catch myself with my wings, with one flap I was back onto my feet.

I painfully made my way to the door connecting the bathroom to the bedroom, with a hoof I opened it and stepped inside. I clopped softly against the quartz tiles and stopped at the sink l, I took a look up at the mirror and winced back at what I saw.

There was me, sporting a black eye that was poking out from behind my elongated mane, its braid since than falling off in the scuffle. I reached up to run a hoof through it before stopping at the purple bruises I could see, those that were old and those that were new.

I quickly shook it off as prismas words rang out through my head, I let out a small sigh and reached for the light blue brush set neatly against the tooth brushes. Since I was at risk of having my black eye being seen, I brushed my mane so that rosy bangs were evenly fitted, I glanced in the mirror to look at my work and felt my lip tremble.

A light slap met my face and I am brought out of it, setting the brush down and letting the sink run.

I exited the restroom a few minutes later, my baby blue coat now fitted with my cream sweater that I received on my birthday.

I let out a final sigh and made my way towards the door, every step I took flooded me with a sense of anxiousness and fear. My hooves trembled as I touched the door knob and let myself quietly out of the room.

With a soft 'click' the door was shut behind me and I lightly trotted through the hallway, I stopped at the top of the steps as a loud prisma was talking to somepony I could barely manage to hear. My heart seemingly stopped as my front hoof met the step to descend, I gulped and mentally gave myself some encouraging words.

'You can so this..' I gave an inhale 'breathe in
..' I shortly breathed out 'breathe out..' I continued this practice while slowly making my descent.

"Oh my... did a pylon really almost fall on your friend....?" A small melody of a whispered voice made it's way into my ears.

I reach the bottom step and peek around to see prisma sitting next to a slightly smaller yellow pegasus, her light pink hair gently flowing down to her hoof tips.

My thoughts were interrupted by prisma "buck yeah! The girls and I had to high tail it out of there before the whole building came down!" Both the pegasus and I flinched at the tone prisma used, the day she told me that almost gave me a heart attack, though those were better times..

"O-oh.... it's nice to see that you all came out fine.." she lightly responded with a small grin.

Prisma gave a big grin as she leant back on the cushiony couch and glances at the smaller mare. "So fluttershy? Any specific reason cake invited you over today...?" She asked with a slight edge in her voice, I spoke a bit as I watched fluttershy respond.

Her blue eyes lit up as she reached down and out of my view, bringing up a decently sized envelope covered in stickers. She held it out for prisma as I mulled over what it wa supposed to be.

"Hm, an envelope.. what secrets does ca- woah!" Once I took another glance at the two, I saw that prismas muzzle was not covered in tiny specks of glitter, her eyes narrowed a bit unbeknownst to fluttershy.

"Hah.. i-im sorry-hah.." flutterhsy giggled with a hoof to her mouth as she didnt look at prisma. "I-its just frost agreed to have my friend help throw a nice party for your anniversary.."

Prisma didnt look happy and that when I decided to make my presence known, I turned the corner and spoke. "I-I s everpony ok? I heard a yell.." I asked while trotting over to the two mares.

Blue eyes perked up as the point attached to them got up from the couch and flew the short distance between us, enveloping me in a soft hug. "Frost! It's been so long!" I bit my lip not to shake as I peeked over fluttershys shoulder, two angry eyes stare right back at me.

I slowly patted fluttershy on her back and gave a small little chuckle. "W-we spoke l-last month.." that was when I spoke to her about the anniversary surprise I was planning for prisma, ignoring the eventful one the other night, I did truly hope this would change prismas feelings.

Her chuckle gave chills down my spine as she parted from the hug and looked down at me, she tilted her head as she brought a hoof to my face. "A-a new hairstyle? That's weird..but it suits you!" She said quickly afterward. I internally let out a breath as my eyes met prismas again, she spat out some glitter and brought her hoof to her neck, making a quick slicing motion.

My eyes slightly widened as I shakily chuckled back at fluttershy. "He-hem.. t-than.. thank you fluttershy" her head tilted again and her eyes raised at my expression, though before she could say anything, I quickly took a few steps back. Stuttering out a few words I turned and lightly trotted towards the kitchen.

"I-im just going go-to make some refreshments..." I glanced at prisma and continued "and a cold rag to clean yourself..".

The yellow mare was slightly confused and concerned as she turned to prisma, catching a slight narrow in her eyes before it flickered out and she grinned towards her. "Well fluttershy! While the colt gets us some of the good stuff... I've been meaning to ask" her tone grew surprisingly colder. "So, what did cake have planned..?" She asked while staring at fluttershy.

--
I was breathing in and out rapidly as my eyes frantically looked around the kitchen with slight tears. I already knew what prisma meant with that quiet motion, she had already gave me an example the last time I dropped some cider all over her. I bite my lip and struggle to keep in the tears before glancing back towards the two.

Fluttershy was now filled with more questions, they were both acting unusual and it was very off putting. Whenever fluttershy used to come over it was drastically different from before, now it just seemed to have drastically shifted.

She looked back at the staring mare with a raised eyebrow.
