Chapter I

Introduction

For those of you who have read my stories before, I do apologise for not continuing them, but this is a story I've already written, so don't worry about it being unfinished.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I am Twilight Sparkle's friend, Fluttershy. I am writing to-

No, maybe that's too formal." Said Fluttershy, unsure
of herself as always.

"Please," beckoned Twilight, "It's fine, Fluttershy.
I'll write the note today, deal?"

"Oh no, Twilight..." replied Fluttershy, "I don't
want to be too much of a burden on you."

"It's okay, Fluttershy. You just want me to tell
Princess Celestia about your lesson in friendship,
right?"

"Well yes, but-"

"It's settled then! I know what you've learned, you've only recited it a thousand times.

Dear Princess Celestia, this is Twilight Sparkle, writing to you for my friend Fluttershy. Her lesson in friendship was a very important one. She told me how, with friends around, it didn't matter the attitude you walked around with. We're her friends, and we'll stick with her. Through all her timidness, and possibly all of her uncontrollable anger.

Your student,
Twilight Sparkle"

"Should you really have been so... informal, with how you presented 'New' Fluttershy?"

"Celestia is my mentor, but also a personal friend, it's okay, lighten up."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and before it could register with either pony, Pinkie Pie burst through, blowing into several different instruments.

"Pinkie, must you be so impatient?" Asked a rather irritated Twilight.

Fluttershy's eye twitched, as it had been the moment Pinkie knocked at the door. A small notion, but something Twilight should have picked up the second it happened. Only a moment needs to pass before it's too late.

"Flutte-" started Twilight...

"Pinkie Pie! How DARE you just come in here, without asking for MY permission?" Fluttershy wasn't shouting, but her tone of voice was grim, it was terrifying, and it wasn't kidding."Get out, before I MAKE you get out."

Extremely frightened by Fluttershy's unexpected respone to Pinkie barging in, she screamed, and ran back to Sugarcube Corner.

"NEXT TIME, PINK-ie? OH! I am SO so so so so so so so sorry Twilight. I didn't mean any of that, I'm going to go get Pinkie and apolagize to her, bye Twilight!" Fluttershy was tripping over her own words as she zipped out of the Library in pursuit of Pinkie Pie.

This... could be a problem... Twilight thought to herself. She dismissed the thought and went to find spike to send the letter she had written minutes before.

A few minutes had passed, but finally, the worried pegasus arrived at the bakery. Mr. and Mrs. Cake were both working on a large cake for a party Pinkie had been planning.

"Hello Mrs. Cake, hello Mr. cake, has Pinkie come through here?" Fluttershy tried to ask that in an urgent tone, but her quiet voice supressed it.

"You just missed her, dear." replied Mrs. Cake, "She came to get more of her invitations for her party."

"Shoot... Thanks anyways, I guess."

Fluttershy spread her wings and flew at of the bakery so her head could hang as low as possible. Is that what Pinkie came to do, She asked herself, invite us to a party? With her head facing directly toward the ground, she couldn't help but notice the speeding shadow that flew by. She looked up to see a rainbow trailing behind a light blue figure. Which came to an abrupt halt right in front of Fluttershy's face.

"Hey, Fluttershy? Admiring my AWESOME flying skills?" Rainbow Dash was a little to proud of herself, going around town in record time right after she spoke to Fluttershy. She came back to the sad pony, and wondered what might be bothering her. Before she could ask, Fluttershy's face lifted.

"Of course, Rainbow Dash, I always love to see you have fun in the sky. Say, have you seen Pinkie Pie anywhere?"

"Pinkie? Yeah, just before I ran into you. She looked a little sad, gave me a party invitation as quiet as she could. Quiet Pinkie? No thanks, I turned her down, said I had an important thing to do in Cloudsdale."

"Well, thanks anyways Rainbow Dash, I'm just going to head home then."

"All right!" Dash replied as Fluttershy's eye twitched. "Stay cool." With that, dash zoomed off. Fluttershy looked up just in time to hear a loud bang, followed by an array of rainbows.

Arriving home, Angel, Fluttershy's faithful, ill-tempered companion demanded food. Fluttershy's eye twitched.

"Of course, Angel, here's a nice - Bowl of dirt. It's the only thing you really deserve anyways, Angel."

The poor little bunny rabbit looked frightened, like it was just barely clinging on to life. It went outside and got itself a carrot before Fluttershy could say anything else.

This time, Fluttershy didn't apologise. This time, her eye wast restless. She decided she would go try to find Pinkie.
