Life and love are silly sometimes

Chapter 1 Its Really Strange What You Can Find In A Forest

Fluttershy was trotting in the around to the backyard, to feed her chickens. Normal day. She looked for the seed around the coop, but when she found it there weren't any more herbal ingredients left. "Hm, that's strange. I almost never run out of the herbs. But thats okay I guess, I mean theres always some in the *Gulp* Ev-Everfree forest I guess..." She said to herself. And it was strange. Normally, Applejack would give her the herbs. But AJ was out of town which meant she had to go into the forest.

"I'm sorry chickens, I have to find more herbs for your mix. I'll be back very soon though. Don't worry, it shouldn't take long at all." The Butter coated pony said to her chickens.

Anyway, why would it take long? The Everfree forest is right near her house. She doesn't like it in there, but she has to go in to get the herbs. She trotted inside and got ready.

Alright, she thought to herself, I think I'm ready. But I have to make sure all my animal friends are okay. I hope nothing happens to them while I'm gone.\

She checked on her animals, nothing seemed to be wrong. She got on her saddle bag and trotted into the forest. But right before she got in, she made sure that everyone was okay, again. And did it for a least 12 times. On the 12th time, Angel just pushed her out and locked the door.

"Okay, here we go..." She muttered to herself. She walked slowly in the forest. It wasn't as bad as she pictured it to be. It was fairly light inside the forest. Which was very strange because usually it's very very dark. But she was glad it was light, it was very easier to see. She looked around, She wasn't able to find the herb. Trotting more into it, she found it getting lighter. Am I getting to the other side already? That was quick. She kept trotting peacefully then bumped into something. "Huh?!?" She fell over and so did the other thing.

"Who are you?" They both said a the same time. "I'm Fluttershy, and who are you??" she answered "Soarin. The wonderbolt." Soarin answered. "SOARIN??" "Yep, Im Soarin. Wait. Fluttershy? Aren't you Um, Rainbow Dashes PFF or something?" "Um, yes I am." "Wow.. Never thought I would see almost any of you guys ever again, after the Gala." "Yeah.. Pretty low chance you would." The both laughed. "But wait." Fluttershy asked "Why are you here, in the forest?" "Um.. No reason I just um..." Soarin tried to reply "It's just.. I Can ask you the same! What are YOU doing here?" " I asked first!" "I asked second. Great we know numbers so anyway why are you in here?" "I have to pick up some herbs for the chicken feed... Now how about you... What are you doing here!" "FINE! I came here because I'm running away." "From what?" "From the Wonderbolts." "Why?" "Because I never get to make any friends that I can keep in touch with and I can never get a Very Special Somepony and it's just.. UGH! It's hard.." Fluttershy stared at him. That is a lot to have on your chest. "Well... that IS a lot. I would run away if that happened to me." "Yeah. Your like the only pony who gets my point! All the others just say why would you want to give up being in the wonderbolts?? Or When did you go insane?" "So others said those things? I swear the things ponies say these days, it's just awful!" "Especially when they're saying it to you." They both laughed again.

I cant believe it! He's so much like me. Maybe I could let him stay in my house for a while.I mean it couldn't hurt right? "So Fluttershy, How do ponies treat you?" Soarin asked. Flutters had no idea! She never paid much attention on how they treated her. "Well, fine I guess. Nothing they say or do makes me feel...Strange so I'm saying fairly well." She replied. "Your lucky my friend. All the ponies treat me like crap." "*GASP* SOARIN SUCH LANGUAGE!" "I'm sorry. I'm just in that mood where you want to punch a tree and if you do it'll probably fall down." "Thats a strange way to put it. Hey do you have a place to crash?" "Well, No this is my first day and I really haven't thought about it so in other words, no." "Your always welcome to stay at my cottage if you'd like!" "Sure! But I must warn you, I snore." "Please thats nothing." They giggled, again.

They were walking in the forest. Mainly chatting. Wow.. Who would've thought Rainbow dashes friend would be so much different than her! It's kind of scary. "Earth to Soarin." Fluttershy said waving her hoof in his face "What?" he replied, "I have the herbs, Lets go." "Oh okay."

The walk back was much less scarier then the walk to there. It was almost 3:00 and she was getting hungry. But the exit was still far far away. After a while, they got bored of walking so they sat down on rocks by a stream. It wasn't very comfortable, but it was okay.

"So anywa-OOH!"SPLASH! Soarin fell into the river. Fluttershy laughed her head off. "Is it nice in there?" "Very." Soarin did the backstroke. "Well then thats good." Fluttershy rested her head. Soarin Sneakily grabbed her hoof and pulled her in. "GAHH!!" She screamed and fell in. Soarin laughed his lungs out. "Your right that is funny!" Fluttershy laughed also. "I Told you it was hysterical!" She splashed some water on him. He splashed back. She did a huge splash and swam fast. He swam up to her and wrapped his hooves around her. She looked at him and he took his hooves off of her an flew up. She did the same. In the air they both blushed. "C-Come on we can just fly out of here." She said still blushing "U-Um yeah over there heh." Soarin said as he followed her.

When they were flying, it was quiet between the two of them. Nothing really to happen. "Look, Fluttershy I'm sorry. It was something bad to do, knowing we had only officially met a couple hours ago. But it was just, I don't feel that way, but it was just in that moment and-" Soarin tried to say. "Soarin, It's okay it was mistake. I'm fine I never hold a grudge. It's okay." Fluttershy said reassuring Soarins thoughts. "Hey lets just tal-" Fluttershy tried to speak but Soarin but his hoof over her mouth. "Be very quiet." Soarin flew down. "What was there?" Fluttershy asked "Um, It was a mantcore. Fluttershy? What are you doing??" "I'm going to go talk to it." "NO!" Soarin jumped on her. "Dont go out there." "Why not? And get off me!" "Its Really bad dont go!""I bet I can reason with it." "Fluttershy, ARE YOU INSANE! DONT DO IT!" "FINE! I wont go out there." The Mantacore roared. Soarin was in a corner in a ball crying.

Fluttershy rolled her eyes. "This would be so much easier if you would let me go out there." "So cold....So cold..." "Stop being a baby and let auntie Fluttershy take care of this." "I-I'm a year older than you." After that comment Fluttershy couldnt stand it! She trottted outside, Showed it who was boos and trotted back in. "It's gone." "What made it leave?" "Me." Soarin rolled his eyes "Whatever, Come on lets go." They flew out of the cave and went back to Fluttershys Cottage
