Chapter 3

Well, here comes the next chapter! Sorry that it's so short, I'm getting a little more detailed with this story, and I'm not going to switch back for now, but focus on one pony. This time, it's Fluttershy! Let's go!

Fluttershy was walking with Chirpsong to the cafe near her house. She was trying to think of some talking points for the walk, but the expression on Chirpsong's face told her to keep her mouth shut. He looked like he was about to explode from anxiety, probably from the fact that this might be the first time he's been near a mare.

Chirpsong knew he did something wrong. He was nervous that Fluttershy would know! She was a smart pony, she wasn't dumb. When they reached the cafe, he quietly took a breath of relief. He just hoped that things would work out.

"I still just can't believe it!" Fluttershy said, sitting at the cafe with Chirpsong. "I mean, the same cutie marks! How cool! I mean-" As Fluttershy rambled on, Chirpsong seemed to be distracted by something.

"Hey!" Fluttershy yelled, snapping Chirpsong out of his daze, "Are you listening?!"

"Hm?" He asked, "Oh, yeah, ok."

Fluttershy looked at him suspiciously. He seemed to be much more alert, as if waiting for something to happen. His green eyes were darting around, looking at every little thing before moving to the next. The waiter showed up, and placed cups of water in front of each pony. He then placed a teabag in each cup.

"Hey, have you seen anypony coming near us?" Chirpsong asked skittishly. Fluttershy wasn't as happy to get this question.

"What?!" She yelled, "Are you waiting for someone else!" Fluttershy just kept getting angrier and angrier, almost to the point of yelling at him louder than just a faint whisper.

"No! What gave you that idea!" Chirpsong yelled, seeming as angry as Fluttershy because of the last remark.

"Gee! I don't know!" Fluttershy said sarcastically, "Maybe it's the fact that you're waiting for somepony else!"

Chirpsong looked like he was about to punch Fluttershy in the face, but then seemed to calm himself down. He then looked right at Fluttershy.

"Just forget I asked," He said calmly. "Let's just get back to our date."

"Date?" Fluttershy asked, and Chirpsong looked almost surprised.

"When did I say date?" Chirpsong asked, looking suspicious. Then he took a sip of his tea. "Just drink some of your tea."

Fluttershy was hesitant at first, but she took a sip. As the warm liquid touched the back of her throat, she felt a weird sensation, then blacked out.

Spike was on his way to the Quills and Sofas shop to get more quills for Twilight, then saw Fluttershy sitting at the cafe. She was staring at Chirpsong with almost emotionless eyes. That wasn't the only weird thing, though. The normally timid and bashful Chirpsong, had an almost devilish grin on his face.

"Hey, Fluttershy," Spike yelled, adding a wave into the gesture. "What's going on?" Chirpsong's smile was interrupted by a face of fear, quickly turning to see Spike.

"Uh, hi." Chirpsong said, with fear in his voice. "W-w-what do you n-need?"

Spike raised an eyebrow, but then Fluttershy started to move. Spike was relieved to see that Chirpsong hadn't killed her, but it was still pretty weird. Chirpsong gave a sigh of relief, as if he was happy he hadn't killed her too. He was, but not for the same reason as Spike.
