Shyer Then Fluttershy

Load Full Story

"Come on critters! There's plenty to go around!" Fluttershy beamed, watching the animals feed on there breakfast as if they hadn't eaten for months.

"Um.. slow down... if you want..." Fluttershy poked a bear gingerly as knawed on a salmon bone. Ignoring her friend, the bear continued to scarf down his raw water animal. It was typical for a bear to eat his meal quickly, but something seemed off. As the bear finished, he darted back into the forest, as if he needed to do something. Ben Bear doesn't usaully run off into the forest, maybe he has a family! Fluttershy's thoughts of baby bears rolling around in her yard made her squee with delight.

"W-Wait!" Fluttershy slowly started her wings and began to track the bear. Squeaks and roars began to erupt throughout the dense woods.

"Hello, woo-woodland creatures!" Fluttershy tried to swallow her fear, but constant thorns and salamanders tickling her flank made it terribley hard. As she saw Ben Bear bounce into the clearing, Fluttershy felt a strange feeling of ease. Whatever this creature that Ben Bear wanted to see, it had to be enchanted with something. A witch! No- maybe a wizard trying to take over him! Or a giant dragon that's going to eat him! Fluttershy's terror continued to reek havoc inside of her head. As Fluttershy bounded into the clearing, a large bushel of thickets appeared before her. They rustled and tussled, managing to capture Fluttershy in a thickly planned package of leaves and sticks.

"L-Let me out!" Fluttershy studdered, managing a slight sound.

"W-w-Who goes there!" A light, elegent voice cried. She sounded as if her face was being pummled into Ben's fur. Silence was heavy for awhile.

"Fluttershy! O-Of ponyville!" Fluttershy's voice echoed throughout the clearing. Her voice was the loudest it had ever been. Proud of herself, Fluttershy tried to stand abroad in the  tightly wound bush. A high pitched yelp that could be heard for mile poked at Fluttershy's eardrums.

"P-Please don't yell!" The animal sniffled. Was it crying?

"Sorry... who are you...you can tell me if you want to.... you don't umm have to..." Fluttershy's shyness cloaked her once again.

"I don't really... have a 'name'.." the creature kicked the ground.

"If you.. um.. want to... may I come out?" Fluttershy's voice sounded despreate, most likely the worst thing she could've done.

"Sure! Bracket! Let her out!" Although Fluttershy couldn't the out of the thicket, she could tell the animal was smiling. As she was released, she looked up to see a beautiful cream coated pony of some sort. Her tail had small holes at the bottem and seemed to flow in and out and was also Tuqiese a small sliver of magenta while golden yellow bells seemed to hold it in place. The largest bell was by her ear, andinstead of a small ball inside, there seemed to be micro-wires. Her mane was thesame as Fluttershy's, off to on side, but ths pony's hair shimmered in the sunlight and it almost matched her tail color, a common thing with ponys. But what stood out most was the mammal's horn. It was a thin, almost tendril with a small blue drop almost dripping out.
