The average morning

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The young mare slowly raised her hooves into the air and moved them out wide, her mouth stretching itself out to allow her to yawn, her body tensing up a little from her whole body stretching. Her hooves slowly return to her blanket, the small, half asleep smile on her face still as she looked back over to the padded basket.

The soft and furry rabbit poke his head away from the blanket her had been covered with the previous night, him repeating as the mare did, stretching his arms out wide and yawning.

The mare turned to face the window adjacent to her body, peeking through the glass at the morning sun coming up over the hills. The smile on her face grew a little larger, her eyes glistening in the light from outside.

She eyes blinked a few times, her long eyelashes batting themselves through the glass. She turned her glance back to the room, still darkened from the absence of light that the sun had not fully provided yet.

She took the quilted blanket off her body and laid it at her side, sliding herself off the bed, stretching once more before turning to Angel. She spoke in her quiet and petite voice, the smallest of smiles on her muzzle "How did you sleep, Angel bunny?" She asked in a moderately curious tone.

The white bunny responded by hopping down to the ground and going over to her left front hoof, nuzzling the side of it with his cheek, showing her that he was well rested. She then responded by saying "Very good... Let's go get some breakfast" With the end of her statement, she began trotting to her door and made her decent downstairs.

As Fluttershy exited her room, three small bird came to her, landing on her back and chirping a little tune that they had learned from her. Fluttershy bobbed her head lightly to the melody, stepping with the beat and whistling along with then.

The small songbirds, after finishing their melody, then flew back to their perches in her home. Fluttershy was already in a good mood for her morning, the birds song pepping her up a little for the upcoming day.

As she was making her way downstairs, a plethora of small critters came to her side, most of them furry creatures with cute little smiles and wagging tails. Some were winged, some were covered with fur, some were even lacking hair in general.

All of the animals seemed very pleased to see her, looking up at her with smiles of delight and joyousness. As Fluttershy reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw all of the animals staring up at her with bright smiles, her own smile widening and her mood getting very happy at this point.

The joy she felt inside her when she knew that her animals were happy, made her feel special and important, thee feeling that she was making others happy was what she truly enjoyed. She looked around the room as she saw them all, a soft giggle coming out of her mouth and echoing around.

Her wings fluttered back in forth before her body was fully off the ground, the wind blew a few of the smaller animals coats to and fro, not really effecting them greatly due to the petite flaps of the mare.

Fluttershy hovered over to her kitchen counter, an assortment of treats, snacks, and toys littered the counter top. He turned herself to face the critters, giggling once more before speaking "Whose hungry?" He said in an almost teasing tone, knowing most of them were eager for food.

Most of them recognized what the sound of "Hungry" or "Snacks/treats" meant, the sound sending most of theirs ears up into the air. Some of them even began barking loudly, them rising into the air and stretching their bodies out so that they showed how much they loved receiving their treats.

Fluttershy nodded her head and face the counter again, taking some of the bags of food and heading over to the feeding station portion of her home. She poured the food, according to each variety of animal, into the bowls and dishes that she had laid out on the floor. The animals took off quickly at the sound of bits of food hitting the metal and ceramic bottoms of the bowls, their rumbling stomachs driving them towards their morning meal.

They licked their lips and dove in, eating up the food. Fluttershy giggled at the sight, feeling herself being accomplished at her deeds. She turned with a triumphant smile before her small celebration was cut short by a white rabbit tapping his foot disappointingly on the counter top.

Her smile quickly disappeared at the sight, looking to the rabbit and sighing, hanging her head as she realized she had forgotten the fussy bunny's breakfast. Angel raised his eyebrow, expecting her to make his breakfast immediately.

Fluttershy couldn't resist the bunny and made her way to her refrigerator, pulling out a few ingredients that made up Angel's favorite salad... After some time preparing the bunny's breakfast, the monstrous salad was complete.

The beast of a salad was even too big for the heaviest eaters, Angel's lips watering at the sight. Fluttershy wiped the sweat from her brow, preparing such a culinary dish took a lot out of her, yet she did it for Angel anyway because she enjoyed making him happy, she'd do anything for him.

Angel leaped over and dove himself into the salad, taking in leaf after leaf, his voracious appetite satisfied by all of the salad. Fluttershy smile lightly at the sight of Angel digging into his salad. She was a little tired after making the meal, her wings cramping up a little.

She flew over to her couch and sat down, her wings folding back to her side and a sigh of content leaving her lips. She closed her eyes and laid herself down, letting the animals eat freely as she attempted to take a nap. Unfortunately, much to her dismay, her nap was cut short by a few taps on her front door. They were a little forceful as well as quick, Fluttershy's body raising up and her eyes creaking open. "Hmm..... Wonder who that could be...."
