In the land of Canterlot, the great Queen Celestia watched over all of Equestria; she was a majestic alicorn who knew everyone in her land, treating her subjects just and fairly. For thousands of years Celestia kept close to her heart the magic of Friendship. Letters would be send to her, teaching Celestia of lessons learned in the art of being friends.

One blush, orange evening, a letter arrived from one of Celestia's favorite students: Fluttershy, the graceful and gentle pegasus sent a letter of worry and concern. The letter read like,

Dear Princess,

My friendship is in turmoil! My animals are avoiding me and I am very sad. Twilight says that I should write to you for advice, and I am doing so. Please, respond at once!

Love, Fluttershy

Celestia smiled and shook her head, her mane of light fluttering around like thousands of butterflies. "Fluttershy, you're such a gentle pony. Of course I'll come and help." Instantly, Celestia took off from her palace and watched as Luna came in. However, the alicorn gently spoke to Celestia, "There is something else you need to inspect, Sister. Spike has gone missing and Twilight is concerned. Please, look into the matter. I will stay here and stand watch."

Spike was missing? Celestia would talk with Fluttershy, see what the pegasus would say. Fluttershy was in tune with the animals and baby dragons. But first, to help somepony in need!
