Fluttershy was looking kind of down. But Silver couldn't get close enough to her to ask what was wrong. Every time he got within five feet of Fluttershy, she ran in the opposite direction. Finally Silver had to see what was wrong himself. He snuck over to Fluttershy's cottage and used his newfound magic to telepathically listen in on what was happening in the house.
"Oh, Angel, I wish some-pony would have some free time for the Butterfly Migration," Fluttershy said. "But all my friends have important stuff to take care of that day."
Why not ask Silver? Angel Bunny said. You like him right?
"Yeah… but… I'm scared."
Fluttershy, you're always scared.
"Yeah, but-"
Besides, if you don't go at all, you won't be truly happy. And if that doesn't happen Sonic won't wake up. You're not that selfish, are you?
Fluttershy was quiet for a while once that was said. That night, Silver went to the sweet apple acres to find out what the Butterfly Migration was.
"From what Fluttershy said," Applejack explained. "The Butterfly Migration is a gathering of every butterfly across the planet to meet in Ponyville for food and conversation. Very few ponies ever get a chance to see one."
"Sounds like fun…" Silver said. He meant that and more. He never really saw a flock of butterflies in one place before. Yeah he saw one every now and then, but never so many in one place. He made up his mind; he was going to ask Fluttershy if he could see the migration with her.
FluttershyThe Migration wasn't for another week. But Fluttershy was still drowning in the spirals of depression. She still had no one to go with her, but she still couldn't bring herself to ask Silver. The day was almost here, but Fluttershy had no idea how to bring the question up.
Hey Fluttershy! You have a guest!
At Angel's call, Fluttershy went to the door and was surprised to see Silver.
"Hey Fluttershy," Silver was blushing like crazy. "I heard you've got no one to go see the Butterfly Migration," He put one hoof behind his head.
"Umm… th-that's right," Fluttershy said. She was feeling very uncomfortable about the situation she was in. this was the perfect opportunity to ask him to watch it with her, so why couldn't she bring herself to ask?
"Would you mind if I tagged along?" Fluttershy's eyes went buggy at the request. She looked up and silver was looking to the side with a blush that rivaled her own in intensity. Then she smiled and nodded her head vigorously.
"YES!"
Silver HandSilver was amazed at the colorful variety of butterflies that filled the Planet of Mystearica's skies. Their wings were so thin that light shone through in different colors depending on where on the wing it came through. But there were so many butterflies that if there were any more the sun would be blocked out until the end of the Migration.
Silver never smiled as wide, or for as long as he did right then, especially not after he was born two centuries into the future. But what really made it worthwhile was looking down at his chest to see Fluttershy's head looking up at the sky in awe. Then he studied her neck and noticed a small shimmer of gold.
"Fluttershy," He said. "Your Element's back."
She looked down to see he was right. Then back up to do something unexpected for her. She kissed him. And far into the night, when he settled down for bed, he could still feel her lips on his… (I want to say it but I can't, I'll just say it is a reference).
