So this is how the sea sounds, wandering back and forth softly in front of my bare feet. Coming from the endless blue that doesn't seem to end. Above it was a lighter shade of blue, decorated with the occasional piece of white fluff. The sun making the air pretty hot, and the sand I'm sitting on even hotter. I could find some shadow beneath the palm trees behind me, but I don't feel like it at the moment.

I'm way too baffled that I'm here, and especially what is sitting a few meters next from me. It had a light yellow coat, a long pink mane, and wings. And while she is looking away from me, I know that her eyes have a strong cyan color. And while she has yet to say a single word to me, I know she's nopony other then Fluttershy.

So I'm here on a beautiful tropical island with what most people seem a to agree on, is the cutest pony, no, the cutest creature of them all. Many people would do unspeakable things to get in a situation that is even remotely like mine. Well, I've good news for you: You can have it all, if you get me out of here any way possible. Because I was already fed up with all of this right at the moment I woke up with the worst headache I've ever had, greeted by a yellow pegasus loudly squeaking as if she just witnessed the most horrendous monster ever looking her right into her cyan eyes.

I might not be the most beautiful girl of them all, but I'm not that ugly, let alone that scary!

So yeah, I don't like being here. Especially with HER, the pegasus that is afraid of her own shadow, and even worse, afraid of heights. She could be flying us out of here in no time if she wasn't just a... Man, I'm thirsty. Luckily, I got my good ol' handbag with me, and inside is always something to drink. So I zip my bag open, search between my vivid collection of compact cassettes, and that got me wondering: Did I also bring my walkman? Then suddenly, right next to my walkman and headphones, I found a bottle of water. Never been more glad to have a nice lukewarm bottle of water!

"Uhm..."

I looked the source of the sound straight into her cyan eyes. She jolted her eyes away from me almost instantly, then slowing returning her vision on my water bottle. I know what she wants, and I can't blame her: It's really hot in this place. So I searched my bag for a second time, and found another bottle of water. "Never go anywhere without at least two bottle's of water!" my mom never used to say. So I throw the second bottle over to her, making a small dust cloud when it hit the sand. The impact made her cover her head with her hooves and squeak a little of course.

"Knock yourself out girl."

Then I twist open my own bottle, and I take a few big gulps of liquid down my throat. I sit back and try to enjoy the nice blue sea with the nice blue sky above it. Ah, blue. Blue like the boldest pony of them all. Blue like the pegasus who would have had the balls and kindness to lift me up and take us right out of this hellhole before I say 'Wow, nice mane'. But nope, had to be stuck with the pegasus who can't even open her own water bottle.

Wait...

I hear the sound of teeth grating against plastic. I look over at her and indeed: She is struggling to get her bottle to open. I can't blame her: Those bottles aren't exactly pony friendly. Still, she's yet again found a new way to annoy me. And make me feel guilty, because if I don't help her, she can't drink her water. Sigh... Well, let's get this over with.

I stand up, walk to her and kneel down before her. I try to hide the annoyance in my face, but I think it fails no matter how hard I tried: I have a bad poker face. I look at her, she looks at me, blushing. Yeah, yeah, as if it's not embarrassing enough already. Just give me the bottle...

As if she could read my mind, she let go of the bottle. I grab it, and I twist the bottle open. Oh, this is going to be so bad...

"Open your mouth."

She is sitting on her behind, standing on her front hooves, and looking up to me with her mouth open and her tongue slightly hanging out, looking if she was about to give...yeah. I told you this was going to be bad.

So I slowly tilted the bottle until the water poured into her mouth. The ultimate fantasy of many bronies: Pouring water into the mouth of Fluttershy. And me, the only person who doesn't seem to like pouring water into someone that's intelligent enough to speak fluently English, and with that I mean THIS pony, has to do it. But isn't she cute? Sure, cute she is. Very cute. What else does she have to offer? Ungrounded angst for me, and incompetence. Well, the incompetence I can handle. It's more the fact that she just sat there for two hours being too afraid to speak against me. Why? Yeah, I can look pretty pissed off. But what did you expect? I'm on a island with someone who has a problem with me for some reason and doesn't want to talk about it. I can't do anything with that! How am I suppose to talk to someone who doesn't seem to want to talk to me?

Wait a minute...

How could I be so fucking stupid? How could I be so selfish and ignorant about what she might be feeling? She also haven't got a clue how to talk to me, all pissed off by something she might have been partly the cause of...

*gargle* *cough*

Oh damn! I quickly tilt back the bottle and I see Fluttershy coughing up some water. Damn, I almost drowned her...

"Are you okay?"

She coughed a few more times and then slowly opened her eyes. She looks up at me, blushing again. Against all odds, she finally managed to get me to smile a bit. Then I began stroking her mane...

"It's okay girl..."

'Girl', I said while stroking her mane. Isn't this kind of...demeaning? I'm treating a grown pegasus who can talk and act in a human way as a pet. But isn't she kind of letting her be treated like this? I will admit, she looks inviting and... Oh god no!

I instantly pull back my hand. My face is blushing red. I can't look to her straight. She looked at me, a little puzzled. I have to say something, but I don't know what! I just go and try then...

"I'm...I'm sorry"

Silence. For what seems a long time. I'm kind of waiting for a reaction, because I don't know anymore to say right now! Wait, can she even talk? And if so, do we speak the same language even? Why did I simply just assumed she could speak English?

"I-It's okay..."

She spoke. Just when I started to question it...

"I-I'm Fluttershy. W-What's your n-name?"

I look at her, she is looking away. I can't help but react with a smile.

"Call me 'Neko'. It's what my friends call me."

And now I'm kind of calling the pegasus who I basically hated a few moments ago a friend. This has been quite a day...

And it wasn't over yet. She lays her head on my arm. I feel my face turning red again...

"Uhm, Fluttershy?"

"Huh?"

"What you are doing now...is something mostly lovers do where I'm from."

She looks puzzled for a moment. And then instantly jolted away from me.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay, you didn't know."

Another moment of silence breezes by. To my surprise, Fluttershy suddenly asks something...

"How did we get here?"

"I dunno. But I would love to get out of here to be honest."

Alright, I'm going to ask to her it. Even if I don't believe she can do it...

"Fluttershy?"

"Huh?"

"Do you think you can fly me over to another land?"

"Oh! Well, I don't know for sure..."

"Do you want to give it a shot?"

"Uhm... Sure."

So I closed and grabbed my handbag, and tried to climb onto Fluttershy. It still felt demeaning to me, but it's the only way I might get off of this island! She's has a really soft coat... No. Just, no...

"Am I sitting wrong or something Fluttershy?"

"No, that's about right Neko."

"Well then, I'm ready for lift off. Hit me!"

"Uhm... Okay."

She takes off without a problem. Wow, she's stronger then I thought! And with that she was flying over the water. But shortly after, she started to shake and to lose balance. Oh god, she isn't going to hold it!

And indeed, a few moments later we crash right into the water. I swim to the surface, and see Fluttershy splashing around  for help. I swim to her, grab the panicking pony and then took her to the beach as fast as I could.

We were laying on the same beach we were a few moments ago. She is breathing heavily, but she will be okay. I look at my wet handbag... Fuck! My walkman!

I quickly picked my walkman out of my handbag and a random cassette. I try shaking them both dry and it seems to work oddly well. Then I insert the cassette, put the headphone on my head, and pressed play. Magnificent! It still works! Damn, engineering at it finest. Why do that make them like this...

I suddenly realize that my walkman was playing 'Happy To Be Stuck With You' by 'Huey Lewis'. Really? That hurts you know...
