Teaching Fluttershy

Chapter 4: Confrontations

“I really liked that movie.” Said Fluttershy rather happy as the movie ended.

“It’s one of my favorite movies.” I responded as I took off the movie, at the same time I heard a car pulling up at the car way I checked the clock and it had struck 3:15 pm which happens to be the time my mom gets back. “Okay Fluttershy I’m going to need you to go back upstairs and wait until I either call you or go get you, got it?” I said turning around to see a still rather joyous Fluttershy.

“Why?” she asked getting up from the sofa.

“Well my mom just got here and I need to find a way on introducing her to you.” I explained, she had already started walking all the way to the staircase, I was right behind her to make sure she got up there and to check where my mom was coming.
After a few second I heard my bedroom door close and the front door being opened.

“Well here it goes.” I thought as the door opened with my mom on the other side.

“Hi honey, how was your day?” She asked walking in carrying a few bags.

“It was pretty boring. I didn’t do anything but watch a movie.” I said pulling of a fake smile.

“Well you could’ve gone over to Sylvia’s house, she always so happy to see you.” She said as she put the bags down on the kitchen counter.

“Yeah but I didn’t want to bother her.” I said sitting down on the other side of the counter.

“Honestly I don’t know why you guys didn’t work out as a couple.” She chuckled a bit, she always brought that up.

“Could you please stop saying that? It’s really embarrassing to talk about it.” It annoyed me quite a bit.

“Well sorry. Has your brother gotten home yet?” she asked

“No.”

“Huh, he is probably with Diane again.” She answered starting to store all the stuff from the bags

“Yeah most likely… Hey can I ask you something? Well actually 2 things.” I said rubbing the back of my head.

“Sure you can tell me anything.”

“Well I was wondering…When I turn eighteen… Well I was wondering if I could move out, you know live on my own in my own house.” I started to become a little nervous, maybe she would think wrong and would believe that I don’t like to live here.

“Well I mean if you want to and if you have the money I suppose you could, you would be old enough to take those decisions.” She answered, some doubt in her voice.

“Don’t get me wrong I love to live here but I always sort of dreamed on living on my own when I turned old enough, well the second question is well a little bit unrealistic.” I said trying to lay out smoothly.

“Okay what is it?”

“Well you know that one cartoon I watch, My little Pony right?” I asked.

“Yeah, what about it?”

“Well if one of the main characters were to end up in this world and well more specifically in our house…Would she be able to stay? I mean for as long as her friends come to rescue her.” I knew she wouldn’t take it serious but any respond would be enough.

“Peter is this an excuse to keep some dog you found on the internet?” She questioned looking at me with a rather angered face.

“What? No I’m being serious what would you do? Would she be able to stay if she had no other place to go?”

“Hmm. Well in that case I guess she could probably stay, as long as she wouldn’t cause to much of a mess.” She said thinking for a second.

“Trust me she wouldn’t make the slightest mess what so ever.” That was a close one I thought to myself.

“Wait what do you mean?” She responded.

“Oh umm nothing.” Oh dang slip of the tongue right there.

“Peter are you hiding something?” She asked, she was onto something.

“No. I’m going to go upstairs now, wait so it was a yes she could stay right?” I had to make sure I heard correctly.

“Well yeah I guess so.”

“Perfect.” I rushed up as fast as I could to my bedroom without even caring if my mom had something else to say.

I rushed into my room closing the door quickly; I was rather excited over my mom’s response even if it would change when she actually saw Fluttershy.
“What happened?” Fluttershy asked, she put down the toy figure I have of her.

“Well it was a positive answer but just to be safe we’ll wait until the rest of my family to be here.” I sat down next to her; honestly I hadn’t thought about my dad or my brother so that they all knew about her.

“Why?” She asked again.

“Well I prefer for everybody to meet you at the same time.” I responded.

“Ok then, but are we going to stay in here until they get home?”

“That’s right, but I’m sure there is something we can do to pass the time.” I said looking around my room trying to find something to do.
“I know what we can do!” I quickly saw something that could really interest her.

“What is that?” She asked, as I turned on my Xbox.

“You’ll see, this is going to be fun I promise.” I put in Kinect adventures, I’m sure this will be entertaining for the both of us.

“Is this another movie?” She asked as the game started.

“Something like that, only here you can interact with it.” I replied setting everything up for the both of use to play.
“Okay this is what you have to do, you move your front leg like this and the character on the screen will do the same.” I explained the basic to her, and to my surprise she was learning rather quickly.

“Are you sure I’m doing it fine?” She asked moving around doing what the game indicated.

“Yeah, you’re doing great for your first time playing this.” I’ve got to admit I was surprised to see her doing pretty well.
