Fluttershy and Me: Remastered

I made my way to Ponyville, trying to stay clear of my home.  I even stayed away from Fluttershy’s.  I didn’t know where she was at the time, but I wanted this to be a surprise.  These wings were the coolest thing though.  They did add a bit of wait to me, but I got past that relatively quick.  I was able to fold them up easily enough, which was good.  I didn’t want to have to walk around all the time with my wings full span.  On my way to Ponyville though, I bumped into my number two pony, Rainbow Dash, or rather, she bumped into me.  Really, she didn’t even bump into me, she flew into me.  She had been practicing some moves in the sky and just so happened to get low enough to the ground to ram right into me.

“Oops, sorry Matt, didn’t see you there,” she said, chuckling a bit at my misfortune.  She had hit me in the stomach pretty hard, but I was alright.  She made sure I was alright then looked like she noticed something different about me.  She leaned her head over to the side to see my new wings.

“YOW!  Matt, when did you get wings?  That’s awesome!  I’ve got a new flying buddy!  Or rather, I will, once you learn how to use them.  But seriously dude, when, and how, did you get wings?”  She was so happy about my new wings.  I figured Dash would like the fact that I had wings.  This practically assured me that Fluttershy was going to love them.

“I actually just got them.  Our good friend Zecora managed to brew a little something up for me.  And, with the mixture of an eagle’s feather, the potion has granted me these wings for life.  How’s that sound?” I said, smiling all the while.  Dash got even happier when I said that.  She shot up into the air and did about three flips in excitement.

“We are totally gonna party it up tonight!  Man, I sound like Pinkie,” she said, starting to laugh at that thought.  I followed shortly after, and soon, we were in a hilarious outbreak.

When our laughter died down, I turned around to look at my wings again.  They were simply amazing.  I couldn’t take my eyes off of them, they were just too cool.  Rainbow couldn’t stop looking either.  They were pure white, as white as snow.  The feathers blew on in the breeze, and it felt pretty good.  I was so tempted to just take off right there and then.  But Dash could see the look in my eyes, the urge I had to fly.

“Don’t get any ideas yet Matt.  You need to train before you can start flying like me, although, that probably won’t happen anytime soon.  No offense.”

“None taken.  I know I can’t be as good as you, but with your help, I hope to get pretty good.  You are the best flyer in Equestria after all,” I said to her.  She loved the praise and the compliments.

“Well, I know how and when you got those wings, but why did you get them?  Was it the lust to join your best buddy Rainbow Dash in the skies of Equestria, or were the skies just calling to you in general, or…” she started, but I hushed her with my finger.  I looked at her, trying to send a message.  I thought it was obvious.  She got it after about ten seconds.

“Oh, I get it, Fluttershy.   You want to fly with her, don’t you?” she asked.  I nodded.

“I don’t think I ever told you guys, but ever since I came here, Celestia has granted Fluttershy and me the ability to share dreams.  The dream is always the same.  We just fly together forever until we wake up.  But, these dreams got me down, because I knew I could never really fly with her.  So, I thought it was time to change that,” I told Dash in all seriousness.  She completely understood my envy of the skies, but the part about wanting to be with Fluttershy up in the sky actually brought a tear to her eye.

“Oh great, you got me crying now.  Thanks a lot,” she said to me, which made me laugh a bit.  I shortly after gestured for a hug, and she accepted.

“Don’t worry Matt, I’ll make sure you can fly with Fluttershy in no time,” she told me while we were still hugging.  I let her go and smiled at her.

“Thanks Dash.  It’s no wonder you’re the Element of Loyalty,” I said, still smiling.  Shortly after, we started to walk into Ponyville.  We were headed for Sugarcube Corner.  We figured the next pony on our list would be Pinkie.  When Rainbow had said we were gonna party, I totally agreed to that.  I just didn’t want to party that night.  That night, I was going to surprise Fluttershy with my wings.  I wanted to have the party the day after.  I hoped Pinkie could sate her appetite for partying for that long.

Rainbow and I entered Sugarcube Corner and looked around to see if we could find Pinkie.  She was hard to miss.  She was lounging on one of the bean bag chairs.  When she saw us, she shot up and jolted over to say hi to us.

“Hey guys, what’s up?” she asked, excited to see us.

“Well Pinkie, in case you didn’t notice, our buddy Matt here just got himself a brand new pair of,” she started, and gestured for me to spin around, “WINGS!”  As I turned around, I let my wings go full span.

“Whoooooooooaaaa,” Pinkie said with amazement.

“Pretty cool huh Pinkie?” I responded to her amazement.

“Cupcakes yeah!  That’s awesome.  Oh boy, I just realized.  You’re so big and strong that you could probably fly us all around.  Oh man, you could be like our new form of transportation.  Although, I probably won’t need it cause I’ve got Pinkie Speed,” she said in one single breath.  She could really talk fast.  Then she gasped at the realization of her leaving out the part about having a party.

“HEY, WE NEED TO HAVE A PARTY!  MATT’S NEW WINGS PARTY!” she said, quite loud I might add.  I heard hoof steps from the other room, assuming it was the cakes.  To my surprise, it was Applejack and Rarity.

“Oh my darling, where ever did you get such beautiful wings?  I didn’t even know it was possible for you humans to get wings,” she started, but then she took notice of my sweatshirt.  “Oh my darling, you’re sweatshirt has been ruined.  Here, let me take that for you.  I’ll fix up those holes for you so they look more presentable.”

“You might as well take my whole wardrobe, cause every shirt I own is gonna need two holes in it for my wings.  That wouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Oh of course not dear, anything for a friend,” she responded.  I thanked her for her assistance.  I shortly after removed my sweatshirt and handed it to her.  I couldn’t give her my shirt, so I would give that to her another time.

“Mah mah Matthew, you sure do look good with wings.  Wha din’t we think ta do this?  Did ya get Zecora’s help?” Applejack asked.  It’s like she knew.

“As a matter of fact I did,” I responded.  I told Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack what I had told Rainbow Dash when she first bumped, or flew, into me.  They were all crying a bit afterwards, just like Dash.  I smiled at the affection the ponies showed for me.  I told them this wasn’t really anything to cry over.

“Oh but darling, that is just the sweetest thing.  You want to make Fluttershy happy, and you most certainly have done just that.  Wait a moment, does Fluttershy even know yet?” Rarity asked me.  The rest of the ponies looked to me for an answer.

“Actually, no, she doesn’t.  I want to surprise her, which is where you guys come in.  But first, we need Twilight here.  Where is she?

“You’re in luck Matty!  Twilight is actually on her way here to pick up this bucket of gems for Spike,” Pinkie said, pulling out a bucket full of those tasty gems that Spike craves so much.  But, where did she get the bucket from?  She just reached over somewhere and poof, there they were.  I narrowed it down to Pinkie Magic.

“That’s good.  I want her to know before we tell Fluttershy.  So after Twilight gets here and she has fully grasped the concept of me having wings, Dash, I’m gonna need you to go get Fluttershy for me.  That’s not too difficult for you, is it?” I asked in a sarcastic voice.  She puffed out her chest and saluted to me.

“No way Matt!  Nothing is too difficult for Rainbow Dash!”

“Calm yourself, you’re not in the army,” I responded, chuckling a bit at her over reaction.  She started laughing to, followed by the others.

After a couple more minutes of the girls admiring my wings, Twilight showed up.  I quickly folded my wings to try to hide them.  Twilight didn’t suspect a thing.

“Uh, hey guys.  What’s with all the mysteriousness?” she asked, then gasped a bit.  “Did Pinkie eat Spike’s gems?  Pinkie, you know how Spike gets when you promise him gems and you go and eat them all!”

“Oh that’s not it Twilight.  I’ve got something to show you,” I chimed in.  I unfolded my wings, and Twilight’s mouth flew open.

“You have wings?!  But, that’s not possible.  Humans can’t have wings.  It goes against your biology.”

“What the hell do you know about human biology?” I asked.

“I know well enough that humans don’t grow wings.  How did you get them?”

“Zecora,” I said, sweet and simple.  Twilight regained herself, smiled, and nodded.

“Sorry if I overreacted a bit.  I just can’t believe that you have wings!”

“No apology required,” I said, and following that, I told her what I had told everyone else.

“Now that everyone knows I have wings, it’s time to surprise Fluttershy.  Rainbow, you know what to do,” I said, and Rainbow saluted me again and took off to find Fluttershy.  Now we had to wait.

After about 15 minutes of waiting, we heard Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy from outside Sugarcube Corner.  I went into the other room to wait for the right moment.  The girls stayed to welcome Fluttershy.

“Oh, hello girls.  Rainbow Dash told me you all had something to show me.  I was trying to find Matthew, he hasn’t come home yet, so I apologize if I’m being a bit hasty,” I heard Fluttershy say.

“Heh heh, well, speaking of Matt, Fluttershy, he’s got a big surprise for you,” Rainbow Dash told Fluttershy.  “Hey Matt, come on out.”

I stepped into the room with my wings folded.  Fluttershy didn’t notice.

“Oh there you are Matthew.  I was so worried.  I have been out all day trying to find you.  Where did you go?  What do you want to show me?” she asked, sounding a little concerned.  I did stay a little separated from her that day, but what I was about to show her would make up for all of that.  I unfolded my white eagle wings once again, and she was left speechless.

“Surprise,” I said, smiling the whole time.  I actually started to tear up a bit at the sight of her starting to cry.

“Oh Matthew, they’re beautiful,” she said, starting to full on cry.  She walked over to me, I knelt down, and we embraced.  When we let go, she ran her hoof over my wings.  They were quite sensitive.  Her touch felt so good (I don’t mean that in a sexual way, it’s just that the sensitivity of the wings causes a good feeling to run through my body when they are gently touched).  The rest of the girls started to cheer and cry at our moment.  Fluttershy looked into my eyes, and I back into hers.  We kissed.

“Thank you Matthew.”

“No Fluttershy, thank you.”
