Chapter 26: So Much More to Me

At the animal shelter, Sun, Wire Wolf, and the others are going to go to the karaoke building to have a party. The only one who doesn't want to go there is Fluttershy, for the obvious reason… her stage fright.

Making sure, Sun asks, "Are you sure you don't wanna come to the karaoke party, Fluttershy?"

"Oh, no, Sunset. I can't. The though of singing in public makes me…" Fluttershy nervously answers, brushing her hair with her hand, and lets out a squeak

Sun reassures her, "No worries. See ya tomorrow."

Sun then walks away, and is going to leave with the others to go to karaoke.

Angel Bunny jumps in her arms. Fluttershy goes into the shelter, and closes the door. She is still nervous about singing. But when she's by herself…

Fluttershy:

Do you think the coast is clear?

Fluttershy kneels down, and Angel jumps to the floor.

Fluttershy:

No one to see, no one to hear

Fluttershy stands up, and looks at her reflection

Fluttershy:

Me sing out my song?

I think we're all alone

Fluttershy grabs hold of the broom and walk with it.

Fluttershy:

I don't need my name in lights

That's not where I set my sights

No, oh-oh, no, not me

Fluttershy begins to sweep the floor with the broom and sparkles come out of it.

Fluttershy:

I don't need a stage to sing

Suddenly, Fluttershy imagines herself in a glittering green dress with her hair put in a style with sparkles, and the broom is a microphone attached to a stick. She begins to sing and dance.

Fluttershy:

I like the quiet, I like the calm

To turn it up, to sing along

I'm not just shy

Look close, and you will see

There's so much more to me

Fluttershy feel like her song and heart are soaring.

Fluttershy:

I'm just fine rehearsing on my own

Fluttershy picks up the white dog, and puts him on the table.

Fluttershy:

My hairbrush is my microphone

Fluttershy brushes the dogs hair, and then pretends the brush is a microphone.

Fluttershy:

Look out now, I'm in the zone

The dog sits as Fluttershy sings, then is given a spin by her.

Fluttershy:

Yeah! Can you feel it?

After the spin, the little white dog's hair is up and has a bow on it.

Fluttershy:

I like the quiet, I like the calm

To turn it up, to sing along

I'm not just shy

Look close, and you will see

There's so much more to me

Fluttershy then begins to take out the trash.

Fluttershy:

I speak soft out in a crowd

Fluttershy tip toes to the trash can and puts the trash in the can. Two people who are talking notice her.

Fluttershy:

I whisper, "am I being too loud?"

Seeing the people look at her, Fluttershy runs back inside, and quickly closes the door.

Fluttershy:

But when I close that door

The crowd, it just wants more and more and mooooore

Fluttershy then runs past her pets, singing her heart out, and dancing to her song.

Fluttershy:

I like the quiet, I like the calm

(oh-whoa-whoa)

To turn it up, to sing along

I'm not just shy

Look close, and you will see

There's so much more to me

I like my friends, I like my pets

(oh-whoa-whoa)

I like to rock, do pirouettes

(oh-whoa)

I'm more than shy

I'm more than you can see

There's so much more to me

Fluttershy stops singing and shows a smile on her face with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, an amused voice says, "Too scared to sing eh, Fluttershy."

"Eep!" Fluttershy squeaks.

Fluttershy quickly turns around to see Adagio and Sun."

Embarrassed, Fluttershy asks, "How much did you hear?"

"Your big solo number," Adagio answers, with a smirk on her face.

Fluttershy blushes like crazy.

Then Sun says, "Anyway, we decided to go see a movie instead, do you wanna come?"

"I guess so," Fluttershy answers.

Then the girls head out to go to the movies. After, convincing Adagio not to tell the others about Fluttershy's musical number.
