After the party was over, Leon and Alexi could say that they were the most tired ponies in Equestria. I'm so tired, thought Leon. But where will I sleep? Alexi's with the Princess...

Right after he had thought that, Twilight came to him. "Leon, I've decided that it wouldn't be a good idea for you and Alexi to be in the same room...So you'll be with Fluttershy." Behind her, Leon saw a yellow pegasus with a pink mane.

"H-hello," she waved.

"Hi," he waved back. "My name's Lieutenant Leon. What's your name?"

"Fluttershy," she replied.

"Could you say it a bit louder?" asked Leon.

"Fluttershy," she squeaked.

"Butterfly?" asked Leon.

"Her name's Fluttershy," said Twilight. "Fluttershy's very shy when meeting new ponies."

"Oh. I see," said Leon.

An hour later, Fluttershy was comfortable with Leon being around her, and they were now sleeping in her cottage. Bratt was with Pinkie, because she said that she had lots of bubblegum for him.

Maybe two chapters later I'll start with the what-ifs. Comment!
