To my amazement, she did! She also had a couple of other books that caught my attention, including ‘Flying for Beginners’ by Soarin’ the Wonderbolt, and Equestrian Mythology by Star Swirl the Bearded. She let me borrow the books and let me borrow a saddle bag to carry them with me.

Fluttershy stayed close to me, mainly because she’s afraid of the dark. I wrapped my tail around her, and she gave me a warm smile. She did all she can to keep me under her wing these last six hours, the last I can do is return the favor. She knew I was there to protect her.

As we slowly trotted outside the town limits, Fluttershy stopped dead in her tracks.

“Is everything okay?” I asked her.

Fluttershy looked at me directly in my eyes. I could sense she wanted to say something to me but couldn’t. She leaned in and kissed me, holding the kiss for a few seconds, closing her eyes. I was stunned. I felt a wave of emotions. My body shivered from the sudden embrace of her soft lips. It felt so warm. She then broke the kiss.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn–” before I let her continue speaking, I returned a kiss to her, pressing my lips firmly against hers. Both of our eyes closed as we held this kiss for a minute. She didn’t pull back, almost as she’s been waiting to live this moment. There was a spark between us. We both felt love. I didn’t want this moment to end. I was in love with her, and she loved me. I broke the kiss, staring her gently in her eyes.

“There’s no need to be sorry,” I said. “I felt the same way.” We continued our walk back to her cottage; my tail wrapped around her and her head leaned against mine. On arrival, I put the saddle bag with the books next to the couch. With both of us exhausted, her and I went to the bedroom and laid down, cuddled up together.

“I love you Mikey,” said Fluttershy.

“I love you too, Fluttershy.” We both closed our eyes, her in my arms, and I fell asleep with her. I’m so happy. My dreams finally came true.

“What do you mean you can’t approve the emergency operation?!” Doctor Richard asked Angela.

“It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I won’t.”

“Do you understand that you’re jeopardizing the life of a patient right now?!” Richard said in anger.

“He’s a homeless sex offender! I’m not going to save a life of someone who doesn’t deserve a life!”

“So let me get this straight,” Richard said. “You don’t want to save him because of your own personal dilemma?
“Pretty much,” Angela confirmed

“Get out of my wing,” Richard ordered.

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me. I said get out!” Richard said in full blown anger, making all the nurses and other doctors look at him, then returning to their work.

“You have no authority to kick me out!”

“You either leave voluntarily or I will have security escort you out,” Richard stated. Angela hesitated for a moment, but finally marched out in anger. Richard went to workstation and wrote an email to Internal Affairs. He put in the subject field, ‘regarding Angela Taylor, MP.’

In the email, he wrote, ‘requesting immediate termination of Angela Taylor concerning patient discrimination. Taylor directly refused to work on a patient due to their criminal background. Stated that patient is a “homeless sex offender” and that she was “not going to save a life of someone who doesn’t deserve a life,” after she stated that she won’t approve an emergency operation.’ He sent the email then picked up his phone. He called the operator and waited for someone to answer.

“This is Doctor Richards. Transfer me to surgery.”
