Ch.1: Pyrus' Dream Pony

Within the cave of an island not too far from the land of Equestria, one creature was enjoying his nap among his bed of treasures, gold, and jewels. He is a large red dragon named Pyrus, but he is no ordinary dragon. Some time back, he tried to have his nap in a mountain at the outskirts of Ponyville. However, a group of Ponies came to his cave at the mountaintop to ask him to nap somewhere else. As a result, he blew a cloud of smoke at them and right into a rock. He never meant to; he was cranky from all their complaining…and that smart-aleck rainbow Pegasus kicked him in the nose!

That was when he first laid his golden eyes on…her…a beautiful pale yellow Pegasus Pony with a long flowing tail and mane of bright pink, bright blue eyes, and three pink butterflies for a Cutie Mark. She was brave enough to stand up to Pyrus, angry that he would hurt her friends like that. He was surprised and a little frightened from her scolding but was able to explain that he did it because her rainbow friend kicked him. The yellow Pony apologized for her friend before explaining that they want him to sleep somewhere else because his smoky snoring was becoming an unhealthy hazard to other creatures besides the Ponies living in Ponyville.

Hearing about that problem, Pyrus felt extremely sorry and ashamed. He had no idea that his emitting smoke via snoring was causing breathing problems for others. He felt so terrible that he burst into tears in front of the Pony, feeling like she might think of him as some big baby. Instead, she stroked his nose, sweetly telling him that it's all right and that he just made a bad decision. Having earned her forgiveness and feeling much better, Pyrus left the mountain and went to a dragon doctor to help fix his smoky snoring. The doctor did fix it, and the red dragon now feels better than ever now that he no longer has to worry about his snoring smoke and suffocating other animals. He then settled in the island not far from Equestia to enjoy his nap more.

For some reason, however, he couldn't sleep. Every time he closes his eyes and drifts of, he would be dreaming of the yellow Pegasus…such as right now…

Pyrus opened his eyes to find himself in the cave where he tried to have his nap, the same one in the mountaintop just at the outskirts of Ponyville. The sun was setting, and he can hear beautiful singing just outside the cave…singing?

Pyrus got up quickly to his feet. He recognizes that voice; it belongs to the yellow Pegasus. He quickly stepped out of the cave to look outside, and there stood his little Pony, singing with the bluebirds flying around her. For some strange reason, Pyrus found out that he has shrunk because he finds himself only a foot taller than the Pony.

But he didn't seem to care. He was enchanted by this lovely creature. Her singing is the most beautiful singing he has ever heard. Her eyes are like aquamarines, and her mane and tail like cherry blossoms. And her fur makes her look like a piece of the sun Celestia herself has brought down to earth for him.

Pyrus also recalled her gentle kindness. How he soothed his tears with a stroke of her hoof and her comforting words. No other female could ever be sweeter than her. He then stepped out of the cave and towards her.

"Fluttershy?" For some strange reason, he knew her name, although she never gave it to him. The yellow Pony turned to him and smiled.

"Pyrus…" she replied softly and sweetly. The red dragon then stepped closer to her, his heart beating faster than before.

"What are you doing here?" he asked her with gentle confusion. Fluttershy simply placed her cheek against his throat, making him blush a deeper shade of red.

"I couldn't stay away," she answered with a small smile. "I've missed you so much…" He then wrapped his arms around her slowly, gently, and lovingly. She has been on his mind lately that Pyrus has missed her as well.

"I've missed you too," he whispered to her. She then looked up at him and he at her…aquamarine eyes and golden eyes…Pyrus could just swim deeply in those pools. Cupping her cheek with his clawed hand, he pressed his lips into hers to kiss her.

"I love you…"

Pyrus woke up with a gasp, finding himself in his own private cave, on his own island. He then let out a sad sigh. The red dragon had been having dreams every time he falls asleep, and each and every one of them features the beautiful Fluttershy. Why is he always dreaming of her?

"Oh, who am I kidding!" he cried, shaking his head with remorse. "I already know the answer to that question! I've fallen in love with her!" He then rested his head down onto the pile of treasures and cried silently. True he has fallen in love with Fluttershy because of her kind heart that has outshined her beauty, but he can never have her. Her friends wouldn't allow it.

"What I wouldn't give…" he whimpered softly, "to have her with me…so that I may woo her…into becoming my mate…" He then cried some more, knowing that that wish will never come true. He has no idea how wrong he is.
