Hearts and Hooves Day One-Shots
#3: Fluttershy X Thunder Grays
On the other side of Ponyville, there lives a cute, shy, little, timid Pegasus named Fluttershy. She owns a cottage not too far from the outskirts of Ponyville, a cottage in which she shares with a longtime friend, another Pegasus, named Thunder Grays. These two Pegasus ponies go back a long way, both originating from Cloudsdale.
Thunder here, who's had certain feelings for Fluttershy ever since he was a young colt, was once paralyzed and was unable to use his wings for approximately ten years. Once he found the courage and was shown affection by Fluttershy, he was able to overcome certain challenges and was able to fly momentarily. He was ultimately given his ability to fly once more by Princess Celestia after certain events put him in the hospital, near his deathbed. Now, with Fluttershy as his loving wife, he lives each and every day to his full heart's extent.
Today, Thunder is out in Ponyville market, searching for some beautful daisies for Fluttershy for Hearts and Hooves Day. Unfortunately, Thunder is having a bit of a hard time finding daisies – Fluttershy's favorite type of flower – in the marketplace. It seems as if all the other ponies have beaten him to obtaining some for their very special someponies.
"What to do..." Thunder tells Angel, Fluttershy's most trusted pet bunny.
Angel gives a dissatisfied look to Thunder, which pretty much sums up how Thunder is currently feeling. He then remembers that there are some flowers near the edge of the Everfree that Fluttershy really likes, but never bothered to get because of where they are located. He brings this to Angel's attention, wondering if Fluttershy would be surprised with a bouquet of them waiting for her when he arrived home.
"You think she'll like them, Angel?" He asks.
Angel smiles back at Thunder, which meant that there was only one way to find out.
"Let's go get a dozen of them then, Angel." Thunder says, rushing over to the location of the flowers.
Meanwhile, back home in the cottage, Fluttershy was planning a surprise of her own for Thunder, a romantic dinner set up just for him, with some candlelight setting to go with it. The critters that lived with Fluttershy and Thunder helped out Fluttershy as best as they could, setting up a lot of specific things, right in the locations that seemed perfect for Fluttershy.
"He's lost so much in his short life," Fluttershy reminds the critters, "I want him to be as happy as he can be when he comes back through that door in a short while."
The other critters all smile as they continue helping Fluttershy set up the area for a very special dinner for the two lovebirds later on today. Fluttershy smiles, then continues preparing the dinner for her and Thunder.
"He's sure to love it." She tells herself.
Back on the other end with Thunder, he has successfully picked a dozen of the flowers that Fluttershy likes – a bunch of roses – as well as a few dandelions as well. He shows Angel, asking him for his opinion on what Fluttershy would think of them.
Angel smiles in reply as Thunder puts the flowers in the basket he brought gently and nicely before heading back home to surprise Fluttershy with them.
"She's going to love them, Angel," he confidently speaks, "I just know it."
When Thunder arrives back at the cottage, Fluttershy is there to greet him right outside the door. She greets him with a kiss and Thunder pulls out the bouquet of flowers he picked just for her.
"Are these for me, Thunder?" She asks him.
"Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Fluttershy." Thunder smiles, kissing Fluttershy in the process.
"Why, they're beautiful, Thunder," Fluttershy replies, "I love them!"
"I knew you would." Thunder says.
"And wait till you see what I have prepared for you," Fluttershy continues, opening up the door to the cottage in the process, revealing the romantic dinner setup that was prepared earlier today.
"Is that?" Thunder asks.
"Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, my strong Thunder," Fluttershy says, kissing him in the process.
"I love you, Fluttershy." Thunder spiels.
"I love you, too, Thunder," Fluttershy reciprocates.
