Fluttershy sat in her car in the parking lot of CU Baseball Stadium, home to the Canterlot University Wildcats Baseball team, the CHS Wondercolts & Crystal Prep Shadowbolts Teams. The Stadium was of course built with the College in mind so the stadium seats a total of 5,000 people. The High Schools were lumped into playing in the stadium as well by the school board and Mayor Mare as there wasn’t enough room for the high schools to get their own baseball fields.

Fluttershy was anxious, she was in a tank top, sport shorts & tennis shoes, she got the courage to exit her car, grabbing a bag with a pink baseball glove, batting gloves & baseball bat. Fluttershy entered the stadium, looking like she was the only girl from CHS that was trying out for the Wondercolts team.

“Hey shy.” greeted Big Mac as Fluttershy walked into the field.

“How’s it going?” Flash asked.

“Um……goood….. Just a bit nervous.” Fluttershy answered.

“You should be.” said a guy with orange hair, yellow skin & blue eyes.

“Here we go.” said Thunderlane.

“Who are you?” Fluttershy asked.

“Colt Sparks…. As in……” Colt started.

“Going to be on the team because your father is head coach.” said Thunderlane making the rest of the boys laugh except for Colt.

“Quiet.” said Coach Sparks, he was a taller & older version of Colt with gray hair & beard.

Fluttershy was a part of the first group that took positions in the field first, she dropped a couple of ground balls thrown to her, but she also successfully caught others & on one catch she did the splits to get it. When it came to batting Fluttershy is a switch hitter, lining up in a different side of the batter’s box on each of her three at bats, Fluttershy struckout on her first at bat and got two singles on her other two at bats.

Practice lasted almost two hours, after it was over everyone filled out a form writing down sizes for a possible uniform. After filling out her form, Fluttershy went home and took a shower, later that night Fluttershy was in her room watching TV with Angel Bunny in her lap, then her phone dinged.
“Hey Shy, where were you? You miss the movie and are currently missing the slumber party at Twilight’s.” Rainbow texted.

“Oh dang!!!! I was helping at the pet store & I forgot.” Fluttershy texted.

“But it was your day off today.” Rarity texted.

“Someone called in sick, so my boss asked me to fill in.” said Fluttershy.

“Why didn’t you text any of us?” Twilight texted.

“I forgot.” Fluttershy.

“Okay well, if you wanna join us, come over.” Sunset texted.

Fluttershy put her phone back on her end table, layed down and fell asleep. On Monday Shy groggily went to school where after exiting her car she was met with a big hug by Pinkie.
“Morning!” Pinkie smiled.

“Morning Pinkie.” said Fluttershy.

“We missed you this weekend.” said Sunset.

“Sorry I ghosted you all.” said Fluttershy.

“Don’t worry about it darling.” said Rarity.

“Yeah it’s no big deal.” said Rainbow.

As the girls walked to homeroom Fluttershy saw a list on the wall next to the gym doors of who made the baseball team. She slipped away from a second and read the names.

Fluttershy hurried back to the rest of the girls excitedly, on Thursday Shy was in her room listening to music with her earbuds in, when her mother walked in carrying a box.
“Sweetie, this is for you.” said Mrs. Shy.

“It’s my baseball uniforms.” said Fluttershy.

“I still don’t know about you playing this.” said Mrs. Shy.

“Mom, you know I enjoy watching it, I figured why not give it a shot.” said Fluttershy.

“Just be careful.” said Mrs. Shy.

“I will.” said Fluttershy

Fluttershy opened the box and inside three Wondercolts uniforms, the main home uniform was a light blue jersey with the word “Wondercolts” written in gold with a white outline across the chest & her number on the lower left of the front in the same gold with white outline. On the back of the uniform was her number on the middle of the back & her name on the shoulder blades both in gold with a white outline. The pants were light blue with a gold stripe down the sides.
The Wondercolts away uniform was a white jersey with the word “Canterlot” across the chest & her number on the lower left in light blue with a black outline on the front. Then on the back her number in the middle of the back & name on the shoulders in light blue with a black outline, then the pants of the away uniform was white with a light blue stripe down the sides.

The alternate home uniform was a gold jersey with the word “Wondercolts” across the chest & her number on the lower left in white with a black outline on the front. Then on the back her number in the middle of the back & name on the shoulders in white with a black outline, the pants of this uniform was gold with white stripes along the sides.
Lastly there’s a pair of light blue cleats, a blue batting helmet & baseball cap on both was a unicorn head with a purple horn, white mane & coat that would be worn with all of the uniforms.

The team’s first practices were on Friday & Saturday one week before the team’s first two games. The Wondercolts were in the National High School Baseball League or NHBL for short. They were in the Eastern Division with the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts, the Baltimare Academy Dragons, the Pearsburgh Academy Knights, the Totrotto High Thunderbirds & the Manehattan High Eagles.

Each team played a two game series home and away against each of their division rivals for a total of 20 games, the High School games were only 7 innings unlike the pros which were 9 inning games. For the first practice the Wondercolts were in their home uniforms, Flutershy was very anxious, her uniform was comfy, but it hugged her body showing it off a little.

“Are you okay shy?” Big Mac asked as Shy walked into the dugout.

“Nervous.” said Fluttershy.

“Don’t worry about it.” said Rory sitting down next to shy.

Fluttershy looked at Rory curiously. “Ummmm……..” Shy said.

“What?” Rory asked.

“Nothing.” said Shy.

Practice started off with Fluttershy, Mac, Rory, Bulk, Soarin, Thunderlane, Colt & Dax in the position spots with Zapp as pitcher first. Shy, Mac & Rory quickly got in sync as Mac & Rory tracked down all ground balls quickly and Shy made all catches from them to her. Meanwhile in the outfield each outfielder had success except for Colt who missed all but one ball hit towards him.

When it came to batting, Colt was first and he quickly struckout.
“Hey Colt, what happened to being the best on the team?” Dax laughed.

“So much for showing us what to do.” said Flash.

Rory was next and Shy saw Rory’s hair drop down to Rory’s shoulders when putting on the batter’s helmet & Flutters watched Rory hit a double.

“Fluttershy, you're up next.” said Coach Sparks.

“Oh, sorry.” said Fluttershy.

Fluttershy lined up in the left side of the batter’s box, pitch 1 from Zapp to shy was taken for a ball, pitch two was swung & missed for strike 1, pitch three was fouled for strike 2, pitch four was taken for a ball. Pitch five was hit into the outfield for a hit and Rory was scored, practice went for two hours.

It then hit Fluttershy that she would have to share a shower with the boys, the locker rooms had ten shower stalls. Flutters waited until pretty much all of the boys were finished, Shy got down to her bra & panties, she was nervous about the boys seeing her like this but knew she had to get used to it. Once she got into the shower area & saw that it was clear she got undressed, placed her clean clothes on a chair next to her stall & the towel on top of her clothes.

During her shower she began to relax.
“I like the quiet, I like the calm
To turn it up, to sing along
I'm not just shy
Look close, and you will see
There's so much more to me” Flutters quietly sang.

There was a knock on the door of Shy’s shower stall which surprised her. “Occupied.” Fluttershy said.

“Hey Shy, ummm…… I forgot my body wash.” said Mac.

Fluttershy picked up her shampoo/body wash combo from the floor, she cracked open the door, holding out the bottle. “I hope you like Strawberries.” Shy said.

Flutters heard Mac squirt the bottle three times. “Thank you.” said Mac.

Mac handed the bottle back to Fluttershy, after ten more minutes shy turned off her shower, cracked open the door, grabbed her towel, drying herself off, then wrapping it around herself & she exited the stall. Shy then noticed not just Mac’s clothes on a chair, she noticed a third person's clothes on a third chair.

Shy turned to her clean clothes and then she heard a door open, she turned around seeing that the third person was Rory and Fluttershy saw that Rory was actually a girl!!!!!

The two girls awkwardly blushed. “Ummm………I thought I was the only girl.” said Fluttershy.

“Surprise…” Rory said quietly.

“Why didn’t you say something?” Fluttershy asked.

“I moved here only 3 weeks ago, as you can see I got small “girls”, my voice isn’t high, so guys assumed I was a boy. I went with it because at my last school boys laughed at me for wanting to try out for the baseball team. It ruined my confidence, so before my first day here I cut my hair to this length, tied it up, hit it under a hat & I put a chest binder on.” Rory answered.

“Well as you can see the boys are nice, except for Colt.” said Fluttershy.

The girls got dressed, Fluttershy put on a lime green top, pink skirt & shoes. While Rory dressed in a light blue top, white skirt & purple shoes.
“You look pretty.” said Fluttershy.

“Thank you.” Rory blushed.

They re-entered the locker room to pack up their things.
“Ladies.” said Big Mac as he entered the room.

“You did good today Mac.” said Fluttershy.

“Same to you both.” said Big Mac.

“Do you have any plans tonight?” Fluttershy asked Rory.

“Um…. no, I don’t have any friends.” Rory answered.

Fluttershy grabbed Rory’s hand. “Now you have one.” Shy said.

“Actually two.” said Big Mac.

“Thank you.” said Rory.

“You’re welcome.” said Fluttershy.

“Um, what do you have in mind?” Rory asked.

“Sleepover at my house?” Fluttershy answered.

“Okay.” Rory smiled.

Rory called her mother when the two girls got into Flutttershy’s car.
“Hi, mom.” Rory said.

“How was your practice?” Rory’s mom asked.

“It was great, I made a couple of friends.” Rory answered.

“That’s wonderful, who are they?” Rory’s Mom asked.

“A boy named Mac and there’s another girl on the team named Fluttershy.” Rory answered.

“Hi.” said Fluttershy.

“OH! Hello Fluttershy I presume? I’m Jade Slade, Rory’s mother.” said Mrs. Slade.

“Yes, um I was wondering if Rory could join myself & my friends at a slumber party at my house tonight?” Fluttershy.

“Well since it’s a weekend night, yes Rory can join.” Mrs. Slade answered.

“Thank you mom.” said Rory.

“You’re welcome dear.” said Mrs. Slade.

The girls drove to Fluttershy’s house, they took their bags to Fluttershy’s room. Pizza was ordered, one was cheese, one was pepperoni & one was olives & pepper. Rory was pacing around the room.

“It’ll be okay.” said Fluttershy.

“I hope so.” said Rory.

The front door opened and entering was the rest of the rainbooms.
“Hi everyone, this is my friend Rory.” said Fluttershy to the rest of the rainbooms.

Pinkie hugged Rory. “Hi, welcome friend.” Pinkie said.

“Um… hi.” said Rory.

“So you two met at baseball practice?” Sunset asked.

“You know about that?” Fluttershy answered.

“Sugarcube the list for the baseball team was on the wall.” said Applejack.

“Oh.” said Fluttershy.

“Why didn’t you just tell us?” Rainbow asked.

“Well I know you all think baseball is boring and I didn’t want to bore you, so that’s why i’ve never talked about it.” Fluttershy answered.

“Darling, if it's important to you, then you should never be afraid to talk about what you like.” said Rarity.

“Yeah, friends don’t have to have the same interest. We listen to Sunset & Twilight talk about science all the time because they obviously enjoy it and it matters to them.” said Rainbow.

“And science helps with our stuff.” said Twilight.

“That too.” said Rainbow.

“Okay, um Rory, is they’re anything about yourself that you’re alright with sharing?” Sunset asked.

“I like sports, dancing, anime shows…” Rory answered.

“I’ve heard some people think you’re a………” Rarity started.

“A boy? Yeah I told Fluttershy that at my old school, boys laughed at me for waiting to try out for the baseball team. So when my mom wanted to move from Las Pegasus to here because of lower house prices I decided to make myself look like a boy, worrying that boys here would be like my old school.” Rory said.

“That’s horrible.” said Rarity.

“Yeah, two girls here named Lyra & Bon-Bon figured me out after a few days, but agreed to keep it a secret.” said Rory.

“How long were you planning on doing this for?” Twilight.

“Until after baseball tryouts.” said Rory.

The rainbooms gave Rory a hug, “You don’t have to worry, we’ll make sure you feel comfortable being yourself.” Sunset said.

“Thank you all.” said Rory.

As the night went along the girls changed into their pajamas, Fluttershy let Rory borrow pajamas from her. The rainbooms watched some of Rory’s favorite anime, Sailor Galaxies, a show about girls that use the power of the cosmos, Korobi, a show about people who bond with creatures that have powers & a series called Battle Monsters, a show where people play a card game using these things on their arms called duel disks & when they play cards, holograms of the monsters appear. Fluttershy pulled up on her Game Sphere 5 the Korobi: Shimmering Magenta game, where Rory explained the types, all the girls took turns playing the game where they managed to beat it. They played until 2am where they turned on a Power Girls movie where they fell asleep.
