“I want to thank you personally for finding my dear, sweet Angel,” the yellow pegasus told me. “And I want to thank Angel personally for rescuing me!” I answered.

“From what?” asked the pegasus. “From being lost, of course!” I answered. “Oh, my goodness!” she cried. “Were you afraid?” she asked me. “Very afraid,” I answered, “and lonely, too!” “You have no reason to be afraid or lonely anymore,” she told me, consoling me greatly.

“What’s your name, by the way?” I asked the pegasus. “My name is Fluttershy,” she answered. “And my name is Lonesome Knight,” I answered back. “Well, you’re not really lonesome now, Lonesome Knight,” she countered. “But I am very, very shy,” she added. “You’re not being shy around me, though,” I countered.

“That’s because I have no reason to be afraid of you,” explained Fluttershy. “After all, you found my precious bunny, Angel, and I love him as though I’m his mother.”

Author's Note

In this chapter, Fluttershy reveals that Lonesome Knight (my original character for this story) has saved her from the utter humiliation that comes of being as shy as she starts out in the canon.
