Fluttershy's Cottage

"So what's your name again?" John asked, causing Fluttershy to 'Eep' as she didn't expect this sudden question. The two had just departed from the main group and are now heading towards the animal keeper's cottage.

"My name is Fluttershy." The butterscotch pony said softly, prompting John to stop. Fluttershy who was walking behind him because she was shy nearly bumped into him.

"What's that again?" John said, pressing his ear close.

"My name is Fluttershy." The female pegasi said, her voice more audible but nevertheless a bit hard to detect. John nodded.

"Alright Fluttershy. Can I ask you some questions?" John asked as they continued to walk through the road of Ponyville. Fluttershy nodded.

"Y-yes..."

"Ok... how long have you known that cyan girl." John asked. Fluttershy looked at him with confusion and with worry. What was he thinking through his head?

Truth was he was rating Rainbow Dash based on Fluttershy's word. If there was anything he deemed too negative about her, John would act according to the information. He didn't want to become friends with a potential enemy like he had done with Claire....

"John? Are you hearing me?" Fluttershy's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. When he was thinking he had formed a glare, a glare that accidentally remained on his face when he suddenly turned around to see her, causing her to shrink in fright. John softens his glare upon noticing his frightened companion as he helps her up.

"I'm sorry. Thought of something bad. It went away now." John said. Before Fluttershy could ask what was wrong, John held up a hand. "No. Don't ask about it yet." John ordered. "So how long have you known her?" John asked.

"Well we met when we were fillies back in Cloudsale..." Fluttershy said.

"Erm... fillies? What's Cloudsale?" John asked. Fluttershy looked at him blankly.

"Fillies? Mares? Basically... young girls." Fluttershy said.

"Oh. Sorry I don't know much about how things changed. From nobody to nopony and girls to fillies it gets confusing." John said with a sigh. "And Cloudsale?"

"Cloudsale is a city in the clouds-"

"WAIT WHAT!?" John blurted out in shock, causing Fluttershy to jump many meters into the air before landing softly on the ground. "Oops... Sorry about that..." John said now embarrassingly. "But it's true that there's a city in the sky!?" John asked.

"Yes... it's main population is a pegasi, ponies with wings, and the occasional griffon. We're lighter than clouds so we can step on them and not fall through. Other ponies though require some type of spell to keep them afloat and light enough to not fall through." Fluttershy said.

"Yeah that'd be pretty bad if you began to plummet from thousands of miles from the air and die upon impact." John said, mentally hitting himself as Fluttershy grew a bit scared at such a awful fate passing through her mind. "Sorry again."

"It's okay... just try to stop thinking like that or saying things like that... I kind of get scared easily." Fluttershy confessed.

"Anyways continue on?" John said, trying to diverge the topic back to where it was originally. Fluttershy nodded.

"Yes... you see back when I was a filly, I had difficulties in many things, but I was bullied many times because I was a soft flier. I was extremely slow compared to every one else and so they used by shyness to their advantage and mistreated me." Fluttershy said, stopping when she saw John gritting his teeth.

"So apparently even in a world of peace there's still evil people out there, all who must be destroyed..." John muttered, remember when he was still ability less before he became king and how they bullied him, and how Keon mistreated him latter and how Claire betrayed him.

"What was that?" Fluttershy asked, not completely hearing what John said. John snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Fluttershy.

"Oh sorry, I'm thinking on how sad it must've been for you." John said. Fluttershy nodded.

"So I was alone, and I was bullied, that is until Rainbow Dash appeared." Fluttershy said, recalling the moment where Rainbow appeared in her life. "She defended me against those two colts who hurt my feelings, challenging them to a race. She won and blew everyone away with her Sonic Rainboom, and ever since then we've became close friends." Fluttershy said. Both Rainbow Dash's actions to defend a weakling and her ability to perform a Sonic Rainboom, which John believed was his world's counterpart of the Sonic Boom surprised him.

If only his world had true characters who treated the weak with compassion as well.

"A Sonic Rainboom you say?" John asked. "Cool." He stated. Fluttershy nodded at him, just when they reached her cottage. John could already see the vast amount of animals both outside and inside, and he was genuinely surprised when he began to count. "You take care of animals?" John asked as Fluttershy opened the door for him, and every single animal ran towards her, each one embracing her and showing signs of affection.

"Yes I do. Who's the cutest bunny out here? Why it's you Angel!" Fluttershy said as she rubbed her face against a bunny. John quickly began to realize that these animals were highly intelligent compared to his world's animals and very peaceful as well. The bunny made some chit-chattering sounds and pointed at John. "Why that's a new friend! John! Meet Angel! Angel meet John!" Fluttershy said as she placed Angel on top of her head, who waved at John.

Yep. They're very intelligent.

The King from New Boston waved his hand back at Angel looked back at him. John looked down at Fluttershy who smiled as the bunny began to point at John.

"Aww.... he says he likes you." Fluttershy said. John raised an eyebrow.

"You can... talk to him?" John said incredulously. Fluttershy nodded.

"I do. I have the ability to care, understand, and talk to animals." Fluttershy said, calling all the birds to crowd around her and rest on her with a few chirps.

'Totally useless but still interesting.' John thought. Yes in battle it was probably the useless thing unless she unleashed a few tigers to fight, but it's Equestria! You can't expect them to be really powerful with their abilities if they look like peaceful creatures. Well more like talents considering that animal care isn't really a ability somewhat. "So Rainbow is really a good person right?" John asked. Fluttershy nodded.

"She is. She sometimes acts before she thinks, but overall during these many years she's been a good friend, never leaving my side. And it kind of make sense right now since she's the Element of Loyalty." Fluttershy said.

"What are you?" John asked.

"I'm the Element of Kindness. Rarity is the Element of Generosity. Applejack is the Element of Honesty. Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter and Twilight is the Element of Magic." Fluttershy said. John made a mental note to visit them all later, most noticeably Twilight in case something strange began to happen and he needed to check upon her because if she's the Element of Magic, then she must know many things about it.

Also because magic sounds interesting and he wonders if he could practice it and learn it in case he's going to have to use it in defense against others that don't care about those lower than themselves.

His opinion of Rainbow Dash changed a bit. Now he had a idea as to why he was being questioned by Rainbow. With a soft angel like Fluttershy there should be nothing to harm he-

Did he just called her an angel?

Oh well.

"Anyways I'm going to let you get comfortable here while I prepare something to eat." Fluttershy said. John smiled.

"Thank you Fluttershy." John said. For once he met someone who genuinely cared about his well being! Maybe this world ain't that bad. Fluttershy smiled before leaving the to the kitchen. John closed his eyes before they began to glow. Nothing still. No abilities, nothing. It felt strange losing his position as King where he had everything but felt empty, but here he had nothing but yet... he felt whole again. Also it felt strange not being able to use his aura ability anymore for now. He felt like a cripple, but in this world where it seemed that basically everyone was at the same level as him, it didn't matter.

He was at peace for now.
