Once upon a time, in a dimension of wonders, there was a chaotic king, Discord, who was very evil and used to wreak havoc on the neighboring kingdom, Equestria. Until one fateful day, princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria, came to Discord. She demanded that he would stop playing his chaotic games in the land of ponies or else. Discord only smirked and said no . So, princess Celestia used her magic to seal off Discord's kingdom from her subjects and put the only way in, a mirror she created, in the ruins of the castle of the two sisters in the everfree forest of Ponyville. She told the draconequus that the spell would be there until he would love a mare and she would love him in return. Discord was upset, not because he couldn't make a mare love him, after all he could use his powers to hypnotize her into it,but the fact that a monster like him could never love.
Years later, in a town called Ponyville, a young mare skipped out her lovely cottage. She was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and teal eyes,and carrying a heavy saddle bag on her back. As she was walking to town, she sang. "Little town, it's a quiet village, every day like the one before!" She sang, putting all her heart into the song. "Little town full of little ponies, waking up to say" she landed strong on the note. "Hello!" A pony called out her door. "Hello!" A stallion said.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Other ponies called. Fluttershy sang softly this time, she hated people hearing her sing " There goes Mr Cake, with his pies as always! The same old buns and treats to sell, every sunrise just the same, since the sunrise that we came to this poor provinal" But the pastry chef interrupted her. "Good Morning, Fluttershy!" Fluttershy blushed "Good morning!" She said, cheerfully. "Where are you off to?" Mr cake asked. "The animal shelter! I finished taking care of a phoenix! She was amazing, she burst into flames and then she-"'Mr cake gave a nervous smile, trying not to show he wasn't interested in Fluttershy's volunteer work for the animal shelter. "That's nice… Cupcake, the buns!" He called to his wife. The mare sighed and walked on. The town ponies saw the mare and sang and gossiped about her. "That mare is strange, no question! Shy and soft, can't you tell?" They sang.
"Never straying from the crowd"
"Never kicking any clouds"
"So odd when she goes by,that Fluttershy!"
The ponies sang. "Hello, good day, how is your family?" A pony asked to another "Hello, good day, how is your wife?" the other responded in song. "I need six eggs" a mare called. "That's too expensive!" Her husband said. "I want much more than this boring life!" Fluttershy sang in whisper, thinking of all the animals she could see if she left town. She opened the door of the animal shelter. "Fluttershy!" The owner said, hugging her friend. "Hi, Derpy. I finished caring for the phoenix!" She said, finally opening up to some pony. "Wow, Fluttershy! You're so good with animals! Thanks for taking care of one every day! It's hard to run a animal shelter!" Derpy said. "Any new ones? I want to meet them all!" Fluttershy said, hopefully. "No, as usual!" Derpy blushed. Fluttershy looked around, she cared for each animal twice a month! She smiled when she saw the animal she was looking for. "Can I care for Angel?" Fluttershy asked. Derpy gave a knowing smile. "You have always loved Angel, you care for him all the time!" She said. Fluttershy flew to the bunny house and picked up a snow white bunny. "I can't help it! He needs me!" She cried. Derpy bit her lip, but then nodded to herself. "If he needs you, he's yours." She said. Fluttershy gasped " Derpy! I couldn't!" She protested. "I insist! So does Angel!" She laughed, seeing the bunny hugging the mare. "Ok…thank you! Thank you!" She cried. They hugged goodbye and Fluttershy left.
The mares and stallions watched her walk out, holding out the rabbit and nuzzling it. "Look there she goes, that mare is so peculiar! She has that soft,loving sigh! With no trouble to stir, with her eyes on that ball of fur. That puzzle to us is Fluttershy!" They sang. Fluttershy skipped to the fountain and sat down, all the little animals in town came to greet her. After making sure no one was watching, she started to sing again. "Oh, you're just amazing! I'll will care for you, and be by your side! If you were in danger, any pony who would try to hurt you, would have to go through me!" A mare stared envious at the beautiful pegasus. "It's no wonder why the stallions want her! Her kindness level is so high!" She whispered to her friend. "But behind that pretty face, she's ever so strange! She's very different from the rest of us, she nothing like the rest of us, yes, different from the rest of us, is Fluttershy!" The town sang. Along with the rest of the town, Snips, Snails, and the handsome prince Blueblood gazed at the lovely mare. "Wow, Blueblood those mares sure like you!" Snails said, nodding to a group of practically drooling girls. "All the mares want me Snails! But I want that one!" He said, pointing to Fluttershy. Snips looked around. "Who, Fluttershy? But she's-" Blueblood interrupted him "Beautiful" he answered. "Yes, but shy! Isn't she that diva designer's friend also?" Snips asked. "It started on the day I met her, she really did catch my eye!" Blueblood sang, watching Fluttershy peacefully talk to Angel and all the little critters around her. "It is only she, who's as beautiful for my royalty, so I'm making plans to woo and marry Fluttershy!" He finished. Walking away to talk with the mare, Blueblood didn't see the fan girls singing behind him "Look there he goes, oh he's so dreamy! Prince Blueblood, oh he's so cute! Be still my heart! I'm hardly breathing! He's such a tall, light, handsome brute!" They sighed. Fluttershy looked up from Angel and saw Blueblood coming. "Oh, not this again! She whispered. She put Angel in her bag with animals in tow and swiftly trotted away. The prince raced to her, but the animals, knowing Fluttershy wanted to be left alone, blocked him. "Go away you annoying things!" He snared watching Fluttershy, who was oblivious to the scene, still walking. She looked at Angel. "I want much more than this social life!" She sang. "Just watch and see, I'm going to make Fluttershy my wife!" Blueblood rhymed. "Look there she goes that mare is strange, yet special! She always looks like she could cry! It's a pity and a sin, she doesn't quite fit in." The town ponies sang, watching Fluttershy. "But, a really a funny mare, a beauty, but a funny mare, she really is a funny mare! That Fluttershy!" They sang. Fluttershy turned to the ending of the song, but only saw the ponies doing normal things. She squealed when she saw Blueblood, finally out of the animals, approaching her. She tried to gallop away, but Blueblood was already there. "Hello, Fluttershy" He said. Fluttershy turned trying to hide her sigh of defeat. She hid behind her mane. "Oh, um, hi Blueblood" She murmured, then gasped as he grabbed Angel from her bag. "Blueblood! Give him back! He's not yours!" She cried. "How can you like this fuzzball? He doesn't do anything!" Blueblood complained, dropping the bunny in the mud. "Anyway, you need to stop caring for those savage animals and care for better things like.. Me" Blueblood said, as Fluttershy wiped the mud off Angel and whispered to him. "Fluttershy, mares shouldn't be so caught up in that cute fuzzy stuff, gets them independent." He sneered. "Blueblood, you're so full of yourself!" Fluttershy cried. "Yes, I love myself as much as everypony in this town does! I just came to Ponyvile to entertain them, and to see you of course." He said, giving her a charming smile. Noticing Fluttershy's attention still Angel, he groaned. Something animal… she likes those things… Animal. He thought. "Fluttershy, do you want to go to my castle in Canterlot and look at all my hunting trophies?" Fluttershy stood frozen mouth open, petrified at what he just said, Angel fainted. The fan girls watched the scene. "What is wrong with her?" One said. "She's crazy!" Another creid. "He's gorgeous.." One sighed. Fluttershy, out of her trance, shook her head and growled "No! You meanie! You brute! You… Err!" She stomped off.
Later, in her cottage, her roommate, Rarity was putting the finishing touches on her latest dress, when Fluttershy threw open the door. Rarity looked up "Fluttershy, darling, are you okay?" She asked. "No, I'm not! How dare he!" The pegasus complied. Rarity sighed. "Blueblood?" She asked. Fluttershy nodded. "Just, go lie down a bit and -" Fluttershy flung herself on a sofa and had a soft, but long screaming fest in a pillow. When she was done she looked at Rarity. "I got Angel today. How's the dress coming?" She asked, letting Angel out of her bag. Rarity smiled "Finished!" She said victorious. Fluttershy glanced at it, then at Rarity. She opened her mouth, then closed it. "What is it now?" Rarity sighed. "I like it.." Fluttershy blushed. "No, you don't, go on, you are amazing at sewing and things" Rarity gave a nod to the dress. "Ok, it needs…. something" Fluttershy said. "Hmm…" Rarity thought. "Ah! Flowers!" She explained excitedly. "Oh my, I think that would look lovely." Fluttershy said. "I need special flowers too, not regular ones, in this town" Rarity scoffed. "Where would special flowers be?" Fluttershy questioned. "I know! The everfree forest!" Rarity said. "What?!" Fluttershy gasped. Rarity turned and groaned. "The everfree forest, darling" She repeated. "The-the everfree… forest…" Fluttershy wheezed. "Yes, that's right, you don't have to come." Rarity assured her. Her friend exhaled. "But what if-" Fluttershy tried. "I'll be fine!" Rarity said, tying on a chic pink scarf. "I'll be home soon!" Rarity said. Fluttershy gulped as her best friend walked out the door. "Please, please be safe, Rarity!" She pleaded.
