Teaching Fluttershy

Chapter 9: Visit

My heart was beating at a mile per second, I was thinking of all the possible people that could be at my house right now, my family is out of the question since they came yesterday, neither could it be any of my friends for starters, they don't know where I live yet and second I HIGHLY doubt Fluttershy would open the door in that case and much less, my mind doesn't manage to come to a single thought of who it might be, neither do I notice if there are any cars passing when I cross the streets.

My mind was focused on one single thought and that was to get back to my house and make sure Fluttershy was there safe and sound.

I rushed up to the door of my house, I reached in for my keys to open as quickly as possible.
“Fluttershy!” I yell out into the house as I step in, there was no response, I entered the living room and there was nobody else.
“Fluttershy!” I call out again, tears forming in my eyes, where is she? What happened? I was so stressed and scared, so many emotions going through me right now that I collapsed in the floor crying.

After a few short minutes I get up from the floor and walk over to my room, maybe she's in there with whoever came, but to no luck there wasn't anybody there, I walk over to her room, as I get closer I hear some sounds coming from inside, this of course makes me happy, I open her door with as much speed as possible, but the noises turned out to be just the TV, I stand there a few seconds which really felt like hours, but finally I let out a sigh and turn around to go back to the living room, but just as I turn around I feel an intense pain in my upper back and head, before passing out I manage to distinguish a

pony-like silhouette.

“Pete....Peter....”

“Oh so his name is Peter?'

“Yeah, who you think it was...”

“I don't know some other... thing that just came in here...”

“Well I hope he is fine...”
I heard some voices as I began coming back to my senses after being knocked out by who knows what.
My head was aching in pain and I felt myself lying on the living room couch, I began to stand up from my resting place.

“Dear geez, what happened?” I said opening my eyes, I turned over to see who was standing next to me, to my relief it was Fluttershy with a worried look on her face.
“Fluttershy!” I said remembering that I was more worried about her than what she appeared to be about me, I lunched myself at her and gave her a tight hug.
“Oh god, I thought somebody had taken you, I was so worried.” I said nearly crying my eyes out, I had realized that I was nothing without her, I was in love with her, she had been my friend for the last 2 years and I wouldn't think of suddenly losing my best friend.

“Oh... no I was worried for you, you received a pretty hard hit to the head.” She answered blushing slightly.
We hugged a bit longer until I heard someone go 'D'aww' behind us.
“The fu-!?” I said turning around rapidly, who else was in here right now, but as I finally focused my eyesight on the other mass behind me my jaw dropped in amazement.
“P-Pin...Pinkie?” I managed to say, turns out that that not only was Fluttershy the only pony here but now so was Pinkie Pie.

“Hi!” She said with a big smile like always not counting that one episode where she goes crazy.

“H-Hi... H-How did you get here?” I asked, I didn't know whether I was happy, surprised or shocked.

“Oh that's a good question I would like to answer.” I heard another familiar voice from my left side, to which I turned around and saw Twilight and Rainbow Dash standing in the hallway that lead towards the rooms.

“Wow... I really did hit my head hard.” I said out unintentionally as I touched the back of my head, with a more surprised look on my face.

“Yeah, sorry 'bout that.” That voice was easy to distinguish, it was Applejack who as I also guessed might have been standing next to Rarity.

“Yeah sorry I didn't tell you who it was because it was going to be a surprise...” She said in a apologetic tone. The smile that was once on my face quickly faded, I knew damn straight why they were here, why lie to myself.

“Well I got to say, it sure is a pleasant surprise, it's not everyday that you come home to get hit by a pony and wake up talking to six.” I said joking around trying to hide my now growing sadness.

“Well if you wish I would gladly answer your question as to why we are here.” Twilight said, I found it odd that they weren't scared of me, maybe Applejack was but, why not the rest of them? As much as I would've loved to accept her offer, I was pretty tired, not only was the week rough and my shift ending at 10 o'clock, that didn't help much now but I could very well use it to my advantage, maybe I could convince them that I’m really tired and make them wait until tomorrow morning to talk.

“That would be swell, but I'm really tired, I had a long week and if by any chance and if you be willing to wait until tomorrow morning to tell me all this, cause really, I don't think I can go another minute staying awake.” I said stretching and faking a yawn.

“Sure.” I had finished stretching when I heard a quick reply from Twilight.

“Really?! I mean really, thanks.” I couldn't believe that worked, I must be lucky.
“Well there is 3 beds so you're going to have to share.” I said, thankfully I brought both my beds from my room in my parents house.

“But where will you sleep?” Pinkie asked me with a concerned look on her face.

“Don't worry the couch is also a bed.” Thankfully I bought one this fold out bed couches, I always wanted one cause honestly there cool.

“Well if you don't mind showing us towards the beds please, a lady does need her beauty sleep.” Rarity added yawing as well.

“Sure, no problem.” It took me just a few minutes to get the beds ready for all the ponies but at the same time I kept thinking about how I was going to handle saying goodbye to Fluttershy in the morning, it didn't help much that I was always really emotional so I found it hard to hide my tears.
After a few minutes I found myself sitting at the edge of the fold out bed, thinking, I already heard a few of the snoring.

“Can't sleep?” I heard a voice coming from the hallway.

“Fluttershy, what are you doing up so late?” I said as I was surprised by her presence, I quickly cleaned my face, I was after all crying and didn't want her to notice.

“Yeah, I can't believe my friends found me... just like you said.” She said in a sad tone, I guess she already knew was going to happen as well.

“Well of course, they're your friends, how could they possibly forget you?” I said joking, honestly I would do the same, she came and sat next to me. We stayed silent for a few minutes, not really wanting to talk about what was already obvious.

“I'm going to miss you.” She said in a low voice, this caused me to finally break into to tears, I just did what I always did when I wanted to hold on to something or someone, I leaned in hugged her, at this point she started crying as well. I don't know how long we lasted hugging or at what point we fell asleep.

I was woken up by the smell of what could only be pancakes, they smelled great.
I opened my eyes slowly remembering what had happened last night, I also felt a little bit of pain coming from my head, it might be a good idea to put on some ice.
I walked into the kitchen to grab a bag with ice, I was instantly met with 6 ponies sitting in the table, they had already made breakfast, which I guess was all really done by Pinkie and maybe Fluttershy.

“Good morning Peter!” I heard Pinkie greet me with her happy tone that was characteristic from her personality.

“Morning Partner, sorry again about last night.” Applejack apologized again

“Morning everypony.” I said before heading over to sit down instead, the ice could wait.

“So Peter I guess this is a good time to explain.” Twilight said, I noticed she was reading one of my history books, that's good, at least she can learn about the human race.

“Yes, I love to know how all of you ended up here.” I said, I looked over to Fluttershy who was sitting next to Rainbow Dash, she had what I could guess was the same sad expression I had on my face right now.

“Well it's quite simple actually, it was just a teleportation spell.” She said content with her answer, which only left me dumbfounded same goes for Fluttershy.

“That's it? But how did Fluttershy get here?” I asked, I was really confused.

“Oh yeah, well... to be honest... We have been monitoring you, and this world as well so we need to send a pony to see how you reacted towards the whole situation, not only you but also Fluttershy.” The answer shocked both of us, so it turns out we were nothing but a mere test, experiment, this only made me more sad, I wasn't blessed with meeting a pony, I was used to test reactions on certain situations.

“So... does this mean that you're going back to Ponyville?” instead of getting mad or sad I decided to simply confront the situation.

“Nope.” Rainbow Dash answered swallowing her food in her mouth.

“What?” Both Fluttershy and I said in complete synchronization, both completely happy and confused for the sudden news.

“Really? Why?” I said after a few moments, starting to become even more happy after every passing seconding

“Well to be honest we didn't think you two would bond so much, and it felt wrong separating you too, especially after the many times you defended her, but what really told us that you too had a special bond was when you went looking for her, instead of leaving her to fend for herself, that's what really told us that we couldn't separate the both of you.” Twilight explained, this only caused me to smile uncontrollably same goes for Fluttershy.

“So this means we're staying?” Fluttershy asked a bit more enthusiastic than how she was a few minutes ago.

“That's right, we'll all be living under the same roof can you believe that? This is going to be so great.” Pinkie Pie said excitedly, I guess this was their plan all along.
Well this was my current position, as happy as Pinkie if not even more with the fact that Fluttershy is going to stay but that fact that other 5 ponies as well are going to be my roommates. I couldn't believe my luck right now.
Wait...6 ponies...
Well I guess it's time to look for a bigger house!
