Pikatwig: My first pony story that's collabed with somebody that's not KKD that's posted here on my account on the fanfic site. That's new.
SZ: Eeyup.
Pikatwig: He and I have collabed on some other projects, but first time he's on my account. And he has the honor of being the second guy I've solo-collabed with.
SZ: Cool. Anyway, we have yet another story here for you folks.
Pikatwig: And I hope you'll like it. *hands disclaimers to SZ*
SZ: And now the disclaimers. *holds the disclaimers up*
Disclaimers: We don't own anyone in this story, nor do we own the MLP franchise. We do though own any OCs that appear in this story.
Fluttershy stared at her computer screen with a bored look. When she wasn't taking care of her animals, she'd be browsing online. Course… she never owned a computer until a few months ago, thanks to Pinkie of course. She loved the laptop that Pinkie had gotten her, it was great, but she was growing lonely…
"Hey Sis," Dash greeted as she walked back into their room that evening.
"Hi, Onee-chan. How was your date with Twilight?"
"Same as always. Pretty good," Rainbow dash shrugged as she laid back down on her bed, "So what're you up to?"
"...not much. Just looking at some iBay stuff. Got some new Kamen Rider and Super Sentai toys on the way, and took a small break to feed the animals," Fluttershy replied, "...Demo…"
"Hmm?"
"...N-nothing. Forget I said anything," Fluttershy replied as she went back to browsing on her laptop, "Just managed to order the Dragonfruit Energy Lockseed, the Type Tridoron Shift Car, oh, and the redub of the Sailor Moon DVDs,"
"I really don't understand why you watch a dub, I mean you can watch the original Japanese perfectly fine. You speak it fluently, you moved from Japan, heck, you still even have a few mangas and DVDs from there," Rainbow stated, motioning to the bookshelf containing Fluttershy's collection of mangas, DVDs, and Toku related items.
"It's curiosity's sake," Fluttershy shrugged as she looked at some toys on the shelf in thought, "Ano… Onee-chan, quick question."
"Huh?"
"...Do you think I'll… find somebody to love?" the pinkette asked, looking down as she poked her two index fingers together.
The rainbowette looked at her 'sister' for a moment before she decided to break the silence.
"Fluttershy…" the tomboy began as she walked over to the pinkette and put a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sure you'll find someone special. Heck, I'm surprised nobody at school has asked you out yet."
Fluttershy nodded a bit, messing around with her hair in thought as she blushed a little.
"Hmm… well, I do have on idea that might help, but… well, it's a bit risky," Rainbow stated, "Have you ever heard of dating sites?"
"Yea…" Fluttershy nodded, "But, I don't know… people say certain… kinds of people go on those sites just to either mess with someone, or…" she paused as she blushed heavily.
"...True. Plus, there's a few sites that have nasty bugs or trojan programs on them, making your computer act super slow and junk," Rainbow nodded before pondering a bit, "We just have to find a site where you won't catch a virus, and make sure nobody older than us tries to hit on you."
"...okay," Fluttershy nodded, "...and don't mention my… uh… you know…"
"Right… wouldn't want any sickos who just like girls for their curves comin' after you," Rainbow replied. She knew there were a few people in school that had eyed her shy friend before, but for the wrong reasons, "I'll work on it. Don't worry."
"Arigato gozaimasu, Onee-chan," Fluttershy smiled softly at her 'sister'.
"No prob, sis," Rainbow smiled back, "I'll always have your back."
Meanwhile, over at Japan, a young male around 17 sat in his room, looking up at the ceiling. His hair was an ice-blue color, and he wore a grey-ish white shirt under a opened black jacket, a silver image of a hawk embedded on the upper part of the sleeves, and on the back, a pair of blue jeans, and some white socks.
"Onii-chan, can I use the computer for a bit?" a young girl's voice asked from behind the bedroom door.
"Eh?" the young adult blinked a bit as he turned his head towards the door, "It depends. Are you going to look at more manga online, or are you going to watch something?"
"The latter."
"Ahh… then knock yourself out, Timid-chan," the young adult replied.
"Arigatou," his sister smiled. He heard her skip off and then he resumed his thoughts for a moment, before he heard a knock on the door some five minutes later, "Onii-chan, some pop up ad appeared and I don't know how to close it…"
"Did you try putting the ad-blocker on?"
"Ano… no. And I don't know how. You always do that for me," she reminded.
The young adult gave an annoyed groan at how he forgot to do it. He then got up off his bed and walked towards the door, opening it to look at a young girl around 9-10 years of age with soft blond hair, pink skin, and was wearing a light blue and purple blouse with long sleeves, a blue pleated skirt, a pink bow in her hair, and light blue sandals.
"Alright. Let me go and get rid of those ads, and you can watch your shows, Timid-chan," the young adult said with a soft smile.
"Arigatou, Silver-Onii-chan," the young girl smiled as she skipped off, her brother following behind her.
Her older brother walked over to the desktop and saw the ad was for some sort of a dating website, called 'Online Hearts'.
"Nani? Online… Hearts?" he blinked as he sat down and looked at it. Normally, he wouldn't click on ads or stuff like that, less he'd get a virus on the computer, but this Online Heart site sounded a bit… interesting. Course, he had to do like a virus scan on the site to make sure it didn't have anything bad on it.
"Uh… Onii-chan? Am I going to be able to watch Sailor Moon Crystal anytime soon?" Timid asked her older brother, snapping him out of the daze of thought he was in.
"Oh… yeah. Let me just put the ad-blocker on," he replied as he put said program on, but not before writing down the name of that site, "There. Everything's set, Timid-chan."
"Arigatou, Onii-chan," she smiled as she got to the computer.
Silver Hawk walked back to his room and pulled out his laptop, turning it on and waited for it to fully come on. Once it did, he pulled the internet up and entered the name of the site.
"Okay… so far, so good," he muttered to himself as he looked around the site.
He then noticed a log in button on the top part of the site. He looked at it in thought, wondering if he should join this site or not. Plus… he had to be careful if this site asked for a credit card number or something. He decided to look up any other info on the website, from past users, Onlinepedia, Facemanga, Chriper…
"...Might as well try it out," he shrugged as he clicked on the log in button. When he came to the next page, it asked him for his user name, email address, and age. He noticed some optional things to fill out, like number of siblings, his city, a nickname… stuff that only he would see unless he wanted others to see it. He didn't want to risk it, so he just entered the first three, deciding to go with 'Hakugin Taka' as his username
Back over at Canterlot High the next day, Fluttershy sat at a lunch table with her friends, but she didn't really pay much attention to what her friends were talking about, simply due to a sort of lonely feeling. She and Applejack were the only two out of their group that weren't in some sort of a relationship. Sunset Shimmer had Double Diamond, Rainbow Dash had Twilight Sparkle, Rarity had Fancy Pants, Pinkie Pie had Sugar Belle…
"Don't you think so?" Rarity asked Fluttershy, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Huh? I-I-I'm sorry. Did you say something?" Fluttershy asked.
"...Y'all alrighty, Fluttershy? Y'all been quite around us fer the last few days," Applejack said, concern in her voice, "Is everythin' alright, sugahcube?"
"...I'm… just… well… kind of… lonely, I guess," Fluttershy admitted, a small blush on her face as she messed with a lock of her hair.
"...I think she may be a bit jealous of us all since we've all got somebody we're in love with… well, all but one of us aside from her," Pinkie stated, "No offense, AJ."
"None taken," Applejack replied.
"...can you blame me? Seeing you all so happy, and…" Fluttershy paused as she looked down, "...I just want what you all have… someone to love you. Not just for looks… but for who you are. I don't like being flirted with because of my curves or because I'm a part of the cheerleaders… I… just want someone who loves me for me."
"...Have you tried dating sites?" Pinkie suggested.
"I suggested that last night, but I'm looking for something that won't get any viruses or the like," Dash informed.
"Well, I did hear some magnificent things about a site called 'Online Hearts'," Rarity informed.
"I've heard of that site too," Sunset added, "Though… I just skip on it since it was a pop-up and all."
"...it's worth a look sis," Dash told Fluttershy.
"Alright… so, any of you up for a round of Smash after school today? I've been training with Neptune and I've gotten pretty good with her."
"Sorry Fluttershy, I've got to do some tutoring after school today," Sunset responded.
"I've got a party I need to set up for," Pinkie Pie informed.
"Ah gotta help out at th' farm," Applejack added.
"Would love to, but I need to help out at the store. Coco's been having trouble lately with some of the customers," Rarity stated.
"Me and Rainbow will be having a date later," Twilight informed.
Fluttershy just sighed sadly at that.
"Sorry Flutters. Maybe some other time," Rainbow apologized, "But I promise I'll look up that Online Hearts site for you when I got home tonight,"
"Okay," Fluttershy nodded.
The shy pinkette sat on her own at home later that day, simply playing Kirby Triple Deluxe to pass her time until Rainbow Dash had gotten home. She had finished a level and got all of the hidden Keychains for that level. After she let the game save and turned off her 3DS XL, Fluttershy just sat there to think for a bit. That site Rarity mentioned… Online Hearts, there was something about it… she wanted to look it up.

Pikatwig: Poor Fluttershy… she kinda got pushed aside by her friends, so to speak.
SZ: Yeah… then again, she didn't know about their plans, so she couldn't have known.
Pikatwig: Before anybody comments about Neptune not being in Smash, I should state this is set a few months forward in time, so there are going to be some DLC characters in Smash that aren't in the game, but could possibly be in the game, or are just characters we'd personally like to see make the cut. Regardless… thoughts on this chapter?
SZ: Hmm...well, it was a nice chapter, albeit nothing much happen, but that's what you usually get for prologues and stuff.
Pikatwig: True. So… favorite part?
SZ: Hmm… hard to say.
Pikatwig: If I had to label one part, it's Rainbow and Fluttershy's sisterly bond. It's really adorable. I'm not a FlutterDash shipper, as you saw in another story I typed, but I do like them as sisters. If I had a say, TwiDash and SunShy are the pairs I'd support, but Sunset and Fluttershy won't be a couple here.
SZ: Soka…
Pikatwig: What was your favorite part?
SZ: Hmm...well, I guess it would have to be the sisterly moment between Fluttershy and RD. I thought it was pretty sweet.
Pikatwig: Yea.
SZ: Hai..
Pikatwig: And that's it. Just Live More.
SZ: Yujo Kita.
