A Small Favour

She was sitting down, looking up into the pink and orange sky. After a moment’s silence, she whimpered.

“We missed our date, Anon.” When she looked to the side to face you, you noticed the glistening tears in her eyes. You smiled softly at her, wiping the tears away with your thumb.

“Not really.”

“Huh?”

“Well, just think about it. We spent the whole day together, went to Canterlot, had lunch, back to Ponyville and now we’re here. In front of this beautiful sunset. And I think the sun looks beautiful in your mane.”

Fluttershy took a second to register the thought, but then smiled over it. “I guess you’re right. I am happy I got to spend today with you, even if it wasn’t originally what I’d thought it would be.” You pulled her up to her hooves.

“It wasn’t what I wanted either, but it turned out more fun than I could have imagined... Now, let’s get home, alright? Before Angel eats all the lettuce, haha-"

She gasped loudly, getting ready to zoom faster than Rainbow Dash. “Angel!”

A few minutes later, you pushed open the door, taking in all the air you could get. Fluttershy was cradling a wriggling Angel, whimpering and cooing him like a baby. “Oh, I should have never left!” She shrieked, hugging him tighter to her chest.

You raised an eyebrow. “Shy, you might suffocate him doing that."
To that she sighed and smiled at you. "Alright. Let's go to bed."
