Enchanted

*FLUTTERSHY'S POV*

"LUNCHTIME, MY FRIENDS!" I call my animal friends as they come inside the cottage for their lunch I made for them today. They look so cute scurrying around for their food; they are really perfect company, especially when I get lonely at times since I do not really go to alot of social gatherings. I actually get the creeps everytime I go to places like that, oh the crowds, lots of ponies...oh my. Plus the feeling of ponies being squished against me while dancing or moving around. That is such an awkward moment and situation to be in so that is why I rather hang out with my animal friends. As the animals are eating, I go upstairs to brush my pink flowing locks since I did not have a chance to look nice for this beautiful day today in Ponyville.

I hum to myself a sweet song as I brush my hair freely before my bird friends come to help braid my hair.

"Isn't this a very beautiful day, my friends?" I ask them.

They tweet and chirp as a positive response that they agree.

"I know right? I just want to sing and dance!" I gush. "But first of all, I have to go collect some berries to make some cherry pie today."

The birds tweet like crazy since they love to eat the cherry pies that I bake.

"I know, I know you're excited." I giggle at their excitement. "But I have to go get berries. Don't expect that they'll be ready in just a second." I say, facing the birds.

They nod in understanding as they fix up the last braid.

"I look so nice! Thank you, Jimmy, Mary and Rosie!" I smile at them appreciatively.

Rosie chirps like she is trying to say "You're welcome!".

"Now, I'll see you all in a bit okay?" I say as I take my basket and go on my way.

I flap my wings towards the meadows with bunches and bunches of cherry bushes. I can not help but look around in awe at the beautiful scenery I have that surrounds me. The smiling, swaying trees, the singing wind blowing their leaves, the grass looking fresh and soft like a green blanket and the sun shining the most beautiful rays in the blue ocean sky.

I find a nearby bush, start picking cherries and putting them into my basket. I take a deep breath to breathe in the sweet air of nature. This is exactly where I would love to spend every single day at. The gorgeous yet peaceful meadows, where nopony disturbs you and that you can enjoy all the wonders and exotics that nature offers, plus new types of animals too that I would love to make friends with.

Suddenly, I hear a noise. Startled, I look around finding the source to the sound.

Arf! it says. Arf!

Gradually, the sound starts to get closer. Could there be a lost animal here? Oh, the poor little thing!

Ten minutes later, I finally find the source of the noise. It is the barking of a lost white stray dog whose leg got stuck under a fallen tree branch. Quickly, I flap wings towards the poor creature and I reassure it.

"Oh, you poor little thing." I coo as I help the puppy unstuck itself by removing the tree branch that has been squishing it.

My heart falls as I see the pain and fear in its eyes and how it is shivering in my arms.

"It's okay, hun. It's okay." I comfort it, patting its fur reassuringly. Eventually, the puppy calms down under my sweet, reassuring touch. "Alrighty. I'm going to take you to my cottage so that I can take care of your wounds and also find your owner. Plus, my animal friends will love to meet you!" I say as I begin to take off to my cottage, with the puppy and the cherry basket in my hooves.

*RAINBOW DASH'S POV*

I am chilling on my cloud, looking at the view below me of Ponyville as I'm finished with my weather duty tasks.

"Hmmmm...I wonder what I wanna do today?" I ask myself out loud. I honestly did not know what I want to do today since I have nothing to do. Thinking about it, I decide to fly around Ponyville as I think about it. The cool breeze blow through my vibrant hair as I fly past the houses and buildings of each pony civilian. I close my eyes in satisfaction when I take some twirls and spins in the sky until I see the next cloud in front of me.

I land on the cloud and observe that is under me now. It is an empty yet beautiful, luscious meadow with all the fresh yet healthy bushes. I realize that there is also a yellow body near one of the bushes. Wondering to see what it is, I scoot closer and closer towards the thing. It is none other than Fluttershy picking cherries from the bushes. Probably for some cherry pie she's baking today. I thought to myself. After all, I really love her pies. They're so organic.

As I am feeling bored, I quietly fly down and hide in the nearest bush to the yellow pony without scaring her. I peek at her picking cherries and observe her for pretty much six minutes already. I can not help but pay more attention to her features up close. Her long, luscious flowing pink hair in braids shining in the sun, her gorgeous, precious yet smooth yellow coat covering her silhouette and her beautiful yet soothing voice as I listen to her hum an inaudible tune.

Damn, she is beautiful.

I thought to myself as I observe her. But she doesn't know that I like her....oh well. It isn't really that big. It's just a crush. I'll get over it. I rationalize. I have been in love with this yellow fluff ever since when I first meet her at Flight Academy back at Cloudsdale. I still reminisce when I first walk in on her, she is singing a song to herself loud enough that anypony can hear. That is when the lovebug starts to bite me at this part. Her beautiful voice, her personality and pretty everything about her. She pretty much catch my breath and my heart. If only Fluttershy knows about what I really feel about her.

I then notice her walking towards the Everfree Forest. I perk my ears up, feeling the urge to stop her from going into that dangerous place.

Don't go in there! I want to say. But she is too far away for me to be heard. Minutes later, I see Fluttershy with a little white fluff ball that looks like some little animal she pick up from there. She couldn't possibly pick up a poison fluff ball from the forest? I shake my head. Don't assume things, Dash. I need to ask her what's that thing she's holding.

I decide to slowly follow her to her cottage which is where she is going to.
