DemiShy's Social Anxiety

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

DemiShy sits in her cottage waiting and waiting for DemiJack to arrive at her cottage. She sits patiently. A bird comes through her window and drops a rolled-up scroll in front of her.

"Oh! I didn't know DemiJack was also good with animals... I wonder why she wrote to me instead of coming here like we planned to.." DemiShy picks up the scroll and opens it. she reads what it says.

Hey DemiShy! It's me, DemiJack! You might be thinkin and askin yourself why I wrote to you instead of headin' on over there and startin a conversation! Well, ah couldn't really come over there! Ah had to stay behind and take on some chores mah granny wanted meh to do! Obviously ah couldn't decline because she's mah granny and ah just had to do it for her! I was thinkin' we could do somethin' else! Maybe you can come on over here yerself! It might be a little packed! But one more pony doesn't hurt! Ah, hope you say yes and come over here! Your friend, DemiJack Apple.

DemiShy's eyes widen and she starts to panic a bit.

"No no! I can't go over there! There are way too many ponies! All those eyes staring at me... what if I do something embarrassing?! What if they don't like me?! What if they think my mane is ugly?! What if they question a lot?! Oh no... but I don't wanna say no to DemiJack.. come on DemiShy! Be brave! I am sure it won't be that bad! I will just avoid all the other ponies! Yep!" DemiShy reassures herself it won't be as bad as she's making it seem.

DemiShy heads outside her cottage after feeding each one of her animals. She slowly makes her way into DemiVille. She sees all of the ponies walking along. She wishes it was a busy day that way there wouldn't be as many ponies. She starts to fly up into the skies and to the farm. After a bit of flying and hiding from other pegasi, she makes it to the farm. DemiJack is outside bucking some apple trees. She spots DemiShy and motions for her to come forward. DemiShy flies over to her.

"Sorry ah couldn't make it! Ah didn't wanna make my granny work extra. She does need her rest!" DemiJack says.

"Oh, it is certainly fine! I wouldn't wanna make my granny work extra too either... it was very kind of you to be doing the job for her.." DemiShy says

"Mhm! Care for an apple?" DemiJack offers

DemiShy takes the apple and immediately bites into it. She looks around and is suddenly confused.

"Where are the other ponies? You said it would be packed..."

"There they are!" DemiJack says pointing in a certain direction.

A bunch of ponies suddenly come running at the two. The whole place is suddenly filled up with a bunch of noise. Voices are being talked over and many ponies talking. DemiShy is immediately startled. Her heart starts to race a bit but she manages to keep her calm. She suddenly sees a few ponies looking at her.

"These ponies are all mah family! Ah got the whole family tree now huh?" DemiJack says.

"Y-you.. sure do..." DemiShy says

"Oooo! Look at your mane!" one of the ponies says to DemiShy

"No no! Her eyes! Her eyes!" Another one of them says.

DemiShy is immediately panicked looking around. She tries to calm herself down but can't. DemiJack looks at her a bit concerned.

"Sugarcube? Are you okay? You don't seem to be doin' fine.." DemiJack asks concerned for DemiShy.

"I-I am... fine.." DemiShy says hiding herself with her mane. She can feel that some ponies are looking at her.

DemiShy continues to do this. DemiJack continues to buck apples off of trees but is still concerned. DemiShy shivers more and more as she feels more and more ponies stare at her. DemiJack goes up to DemiShy

"Are you sure you are okay? You seem to be a bit scared. Ah, promise you these ponies are harmless. They are just a bit curious! Why don't you get to know one of em? Oh! Ah got the perfect pony!" DemiJack says trotting over to a specific pony.

"T-thanks DemiJack But I-" DemiShy is immediately cut off when DemiJack comes back with a filly.

"Heya! Ah, am DemiBloom! Ah, assume yer DemiShy?" The small filly says.

"Y-yes.. I am DemiShy... I-its nice to meet you DemiBloom.." DemiShy says.

"Ah got the perfect idea DemiBloom! Why don't you introduce DemiShy to the WHOLE family?" DemiJack says

"You're right! Come on DemiShy!" DemiBloom grabs DemiShy's hoof and brings her in the middle of a crowd.

DemiShy's heart races faster as her thoughts are replaced with pure fear and anxiety. She wanted to fly out of there as fast as she could but she couldn't move. Her body wouldn't reply to what her mind tells it to do. She didn't know whether to cry or ask to get out. She wanted to run to DemiJack and admit she didn't wanna be there but she did not want to be rude. DemiBloom keeps saying names and names introducing each apple family member but DemiShy's eyes and thoughts blurry. Right when each family member started to walk up to her and started talking over each other she snapped.

"ENOUGH!" DemiShy screams out silencing everypony, "ENOUGH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS!" DemiShy runs into the barn crying and shivering in fear.

DemiJack looks over to DemiBloom, "What did you do? What happened?!" DemiJack asks

"Ah don't know! Ah was in the middle of introducing her when she just screamed!" DemiBloom says just as confused as DemiJack is.

DemiJAck walks into the barn looking for DemiShy. She sees the poor pony crying in a corner with a rabbit in her hooves. She sits down next to DemiShy.

"Hey, sugarcube... it's okay. What happened?" DemiJack asks.

"All the ponies DemiJack... I'm sorry..." Demishy says.

"What do ya mean? Oh. Do ya not like being around many ponies?"

"Exactly! I don't DemiJack... I'm sorry... I got so overwhelmed..." DemiShy says guilty

"No no DemiShy. No need to be sorry... its mah fault. I should have asked if you liked being around lots of ponies in the first place. Ah saw the signs but did not bother to ask you... say. Ah am already done with the chores. How about we go settle in at your place instead?" DemiJack says.

"I would.. like that," DemiShy says smiling.

The two head over to the small cottage. DemiShy is happy to not be around all those ponies again. DemiShy though did end up bringing DemiBloom over to her cottage as well.
