My Little Pony: Fluttershy Stands Up
Chapter 1
Iron Will
It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, Neo was visiting Fluttershy in her cottage and they were having a tea conversation. Neo didn't drink tea so he drank , which he got from his automatic foodmaker. Fluttershy took a sip of her tea and they were having a nice conversation about their latest good times with their friends.
Fluttershy talked a little bit about some good times they've had together in the past, then she brought up the time when Neo said something to her that made her feel like a strong, independent pony. Fluttershy asked Neo if he remembered those words and Neo said he did, and it was something he would never forget. Fluttershy began to remember what happened that day.
Her memory began and it started back when she was feeding her animal friends. Every animal ate what she gave them except for Angel the bunny, whenever Fluttershy gave him food, he would refuse to eat it. Fluttershy asked him what he wanted to eat and Angel showed Fluttershy a recipe for an elaborate cherry topped salad. Fluttershy protested and Angel slapped her and shoved the recipe in her face. Then Fluttershy said in a surrendering voice, "I'll make your recipe."
Fluttershy had to go into town to buy the materials to make the recipe, while she was in line at the Ponyville Market, ponies cut in front of her. She wasn't sure what to do since she had so much kindness in her heart. Ponies kept cutting in front of her and Fluttershy couldn't assert herself. Rarity and Pinkie Pie came to the market and saw what was happening. Rarity told Fluttershy that she needs to start standing up for herself and don't let other ponies treat her so rudely. Pinkie Pie said that this was a big problem and Fluttershy should do something about it right away.
Rarity showed Fluttershy how to stand up for herself by charming a pony named Gizmo into selling her his last bundle of asparagus. Gizmo eventually let her buy it and Fluttershy was surprised that it worked. Then Pinkie Pie tricked a tomato seller into selling Fluttershy all his tomatoes at half price. To Fluttershy's surprise, it worked as well. Then Rarity and Pinkie convinced her to try it and Fluttershy attempted to try it by buying the last cherry. Unfortunately, it backfired and she ended up losing the cherry to Lemon Drops.
Fluttershy returned to her cottage to serve the salad to Angel, she apologized for the lack of the cherry on top, but Angel was upset about it, he threw the salad in Fluttershy's face and he threw Fluttershy out the door and Fluttershy crashed headfirst into her mailbox. Fluttershy got up and said, "Look at me, I really am a doormat." Then she saw a pamphlet for an assertiveness seminar. She read the pamphlet and said, "The incredible Iron Will turns doormats into dynamos. Assertiveness seminar today, hedge maze centre." As Celestia is my witness, I'm never gonna be a pushover again!"
Fluttershy arrived at the hedge maze and she squeezed herself through the crowd of ponies to the front of the crowd, but she ended up getting tossed to the back of the crowd. Then the seminar started and a large blue muscular minotaur named Iron Will came onto the stage.
During the seminar, he promised the ponies that anyone who follows his advice and techniques will no longer be a pushover, he even provided a 100% satisfaction guarantee that anyone who isn't fully satisfied with his training will pay nothing for the seminar. Iron Will called out for a volunteer to demonstrate his techniques, he looked around the crowd and called on Fluttershy. Fluttershy was nervous and she timidly walked onto the stage.
As she walked onto the stage, a goat blocked her path, which brought out Iron Will's lesson. Iron Will taught Flutteshy to be assertive and don't let others walk all over her. Fluttershy finally gave a response that impressed and pleased Iron Will, then he said to the crowd if his techniques can work for a shy pony like Fluttershy, they can work for anypony. The crowd cheered and Fluttershy was starting to feel confident in being assertive.
