Fluttershy's Nature Show

"--ings are so finnicky, sometimes."

As the camera comes back on, the focus is very blurry. It's hard to see for a few seconds, then everything comes back into view. Most of the walking around has already been done, and the seed spreader is now empty and being wheeled back to where they left Fluttershy.

"Didja fix it?" asks Didgeri.

"I think so," answers Twilight. "I'll have to go back and cut out that part of the camera reel that was destroyed, which means we'll have to come back and record it again some other time. Then again, I guess we really didn't have much that was said, it was just walking around scattering seeds."

"Not exactly the most en'ertainin' thing fo' youa viewah's ta watch, is it?"

"I suppose not. Worst case scenario, I put in a different shot of how it all works, with a voiceover giving a description of what's being planted."

"You can do that?"

"I'm pretty sure."

The two make their way back to the cart. There's no view of Fluttershy until they come really close, as she's kneeling down on the other side of it. The camera catches her long before she realizes that she's being recorded. Twilight is too shocked at what she sees to make a move, so there's a long uninterrupted shot of Fluttershy's almost fully exposed breasts.

"Ya broke up a fight between two males, didn' ya?" laughs Didgeri, unbuttoning his shirt as he comes into frame. Realizing that she's not longer alone, Fluttershy reaches up and covers her chest, blushing and nodding, unable to make eye contact. "I told ya they could be pretty aggressive. Ya hurt?" He offers her his shirt, which he's now taken off completely.

"I'll be fine," she says, trying in vain to cover both large breasts with one arm as she takes the shirt.

"You shua? Theya's a first aid kit back at the 'ouse. Theya claws can cut right through ya. You shua youa alright?"

Fluttershy turns away from him and takes off her torn shirt. In respect for her privacy, Didgeri turns around so as not to watch her change, though Twilight zooms in on her torso to look for any damages, perhaps reasoning that this footage will be cut. There is no physical damage, but neither that shirt nor the bra beneath are capable of being salvaged.

"I'll be fine, Didgeri," Fluttershy says, buttoning up the shirt. "My clothes took the brunt of the damage. I'm not hurt, and I'm not even that mad, because they actually did stop fighting after our talk. Hopped off together without so much as a scuffle."

"That's excellent," smiles Didgeri. "I usually can't convince 'em to stop fightin', much less to buggah off peaceably. That's a real talent you have."

"Thanks. You can turn around now."

Fluttershy pulls her mane out of the shirt collar. The shirt is way too large for her, with the tails dipping below the hemline on her skirt. The collar, while fully buttoned, leaves so much of a gap in front of her neck that you can almost see the beginning of her cleavage. The sleeves had to be rolled up just so her hands could come out.

"Are you ready to do the next scene?" asks Twilight, finally free of her shock. "If you want to come back another day, we have reason to do that. A malfunction caused the camera to eat the film in my last reel, and we lost about fifteen minutes of footage, plus the next ten minutes cleaning it all out so we could start rolling again."

"I think we'll be fine," answers Fluttershy. "We can cut in a section of the tape that says why I needed to change shirts. We can do that, right?"

"Absolutely. I'll put it there in editing."

Fluttershy returns to the mob of kangaroos that had gathered by the water's edge and sits down. She is soon surrounded by the joeys whose ears she'd been rubbing prior to Twilight and Didgeri coming back. Some are a bit too big to return to the pouch, but still children, others are still needing to nurse, and must return to their pouch to do so, but they all gather around her for more neck rubs.

"We're rolling," says Twilight. "Anytime you're ready."

Fluttershy looks at the camera. "Unlike the last few species we looked at, the kangaroo is not an endangered species. The purpose of this show is not to show you all that our lifestyle is harmful to the creatures we share the planet with, but rather to generate more care and affection for our furry little friends."

She picked one up and stood it on her lap, gently stroking its coat. "A great many things can be learned from critters of all shapes and sizes, even the more strange-looking ones like these. We need to understand them not because they're disappearing, but because we don't want them to disappear. We want these little cuties to stay with us for as long as possible. We don't want to see them wiped out forever. We want them to stick around, and raise awareness."

The little joey hopped out of her lap, into the lap of his mother, just his front half disappearing into her pouch. "We're very lucky today to be able to to tell you that, at the time of this recording, our host for the afternoon owns and operates a kangaroo farm, which you are allowed to come and visit. If you live in the midwest section of Equestria, I encourage you so come on down to Didgeri Doo's Kangaroo and Wallaby Farm and see these beautiful creatures for yourself. There's a lot we couldn't cover in this video series, and part of that can be solved with a visit. Didgeri will be happy to answer all of your kangaroo and wallaby-related questions, providing that the information is known to him, of course."

"And cut," comes Twilight's voice. "You're doing very well, Fluttershy. I'm surprised that you're consistently pushing through your lines correctly on the first take."

"Thanks. I took some words of inspiration from Rarity. She reminded me that this is for little kids, and not very many grown-up ponies are actually going to see this. It really calmed my nerves."

"Hang on," interjected Didgeri. "Twilight told me earlier that this wa--"

The picture and sound die out, completely obscuring what was to come next.
