The Elegance of Nature

I should have put the book down the second I saw the cover. I had no business reading it. This was where Fluttershy wrote down all of her secrets, her feelings, her personal thoughts. She wrote them here so that nopony would ever read them. I had to put it down.

But I didn't. Instead I did something utterly despicable: I opened the book and read it. I opened it to a random page and read the first entry I saw. It was dated to last week.

Dear Diary,

Oh I've been such a bad mare! I didn't mean to do it, I just did! Today I saw Berry Punch wandering through the streets. She was so drunk that she couldn't even remember where her house was. So I decided to be a nice mare and take her home. When we got to her house I helped her inside and waved goodbye as she stumbled upstairs to her room. But as she was…she flicked her tail to the side. And I saw her privates! But that's not the worst part. Right when I got home I got the urge to touch myself. And I was thinking about her! I feel so dirty! Why am I being such a bad mare lately? I'm touching myself more often, I'm having dirty thoughts about other ponies, and sometimes I've even felt like asking somepony to have sex with me. I haven't thought. I'm still saving myself for my special somepony. Rarity's chastity belt is making sure of that. I don't even notice it anymore. But if anypony found about what I've been thinking, oh I don't know what I would do! But you won't tell anypony will you diary?

I giggled. It seems Fluttershy's mother never talked to her about being in heat. It's a perfectly natural thing. I just got out of heat a couple weeks ago. I'll have to tell her that she has nothing to be ashamed of…WHAT IN CELESTIA'S NAME AM I SAYING?! I slammed the book shut and immediately put it back where I found it. If I told her that she would know that I was reading her diary. I couldn't let her know that.

I got up, ashamed of what I had done. I needed something that would make me feel better about myself. The best way would probably be to bring Fluttershy something to comfort her. But what could I bring her? Of course!

"Angel, darling." I called. The little rabbit came hopping out of the kitchen. "Would you like to go and see your mother? I bet you miss her a lot." Angel nodded franticly. "I thought so. Well come along I'll take you to her." He hopped on my back and rode on me as I began my walk back to the clinic. Why do smaller creatures always want to ride on ponies? I mean seriously, that's a little absurd right?

When I got back to the clinic I found all my friends still in the lobby waiting for Fluttershy. "She's still in her session?" I asked.

"Yeah," Applejack said. "They've been in there an awful long time."

"Well that's a good thing," Twilight said. "It means they must be making progress."

"Quite!" Pinkie said in a loud whisper while she had her ear pressed against the door. "I'm trying to listen."

"Pinkie…" Twilight sighed. "I told you that you can't hear anything in there. The doctor has the door soundproofed."

"Well that stinks," Pinkie pouted. "Now I can't hear what they're saying."

"That's the point of therapy Pinkie. Whatever happens in that room stays in that room. It's between the doctor and Fluttershy."

"Okie Dokie Lookie!" Pinkie bounced back to her seat and noticed my passenger. "Oh goodie! You brought Angel with you. That's sure to cheer Fluttershy up."

"Those were my thoughts exactly." Angel looked at us with a mixture of confusion and concern in his eyes. "Oh poor darling. You don't know what happened do you?" He shook his head.

"Well…a bad stallion hurt Fluttershy," Twilight explained. "In a very bad way. She's alright, but she's really afraid now."

I turned my head back towards him. "Now we need you to be there for her and make her feel better, ok darling?" He eagerly shook his head yes. "Good. I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you."

Just then we all heard the doorknob turn and Fluttershy walked out of the room, followed by the doctor.

"Alright Fluttershy, I'm going to schedule you in for another appointment next week." The doctor told her. "You did very great today."

"Thanks Dr. Hooves…" Fluttershy said. Twilight went to the doctor schedule another appointment.

"So what did he do?" Pinkie asked Fluttershy.

"I don't want to talk about it…"

"Oh come on! I want to know!"

"Pinkie!" I shouted. "Remember what Twilight told you."

"Sorry…"

Fluttershy turned to me. "Did you have any problems feeding my babies?"

"None at all darling. Your note was very helpful. And it seemed that someone missed you." I nudged my head down towards the floor.

"ANGEL!" Fluttershy scooped the little rabbit up in her hooves and hugged. "Oh momma's missed you so much!" She smiled. "Thank you Rarity. You don't mind if I bring Angel back to your house do you?"

"Of course not darling. I'm sure Opal could use the company."

Later that night we all prepared ourselves for bed. Opal had scooted to the side of her bed to make room for Angel. On normal circumstances she almost never shares anything (I have to keep my yarn balls locked in a chest); but Opal seems to be quite fond of the rabbit. They seemed to be laying awfully close to each other as well. Well what they do isn't any of my concern.

I climbed into bed and scooted over to make room for Fluttershy. She had just finished brushing her teeth and got into bed with me.

"Goodnight darling." I said as I reached to turn off the lamp.

"Rarity…" Fluttershy said softly. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course darling. Ask my anything."

"Do you think I'm a slut?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course not! If anything, you're the purest mare I know. And trust me, this day and age a pure mare is hard to come by. Why on Equestria would you ever think yourself in such a manor?"

"Well I…I just…"

"it's ok darling, don't answer if you don't want to." I turned out the lights and we both went to sleep. I made a mental note of what Fluttershy had asked me. I knew I had to tell the other mares about it.
