Season 3: Love Season
Episode 10 (40): Animal Picnic (Fluttershy x Henry)
After sometime, the Mane 7 and their boyfriends have had a successful first day on their dates. Fluttershy was getting her hair brushed with the help of Angel.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) Why thank you Angel, I needed my hair brushed for this special occasion I have planned for my special friend, Henry.
Angel squeaked wandering what she has planned.
Fluttershy: Oh, well Angel, it's yet again another picnic, but this time, all of my animal friends are willing to join in for this. I'm sure Henry will be shocked to hear this that all my animal friends are joining.
Angel squeaked letting her know that he too also missed being in Henry's company.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) I know you do Angel, you really miss Henry don't you Angel, yes you do, yes you do.
She was scratching Angel's ears which is making him bounce his feet up and down like a dog.
Fluttershy: Aww, aren't you just the cutest wittle bunny I've ever met. (Giggles) You know, you still wanna come along with me?
Angel nodded in approval.
Fluttershy: Well, you can come with me on the journey Angel, so let's get going. We got some errands to run.
Angel hopped into a bag that Fluttershy was carrying, she then hopped into her car, started it up and drove off to the market. As she was on her way to the market, she noticed Winona barking at a cat who was stuck up a tree with the CMCs trying to tell her to stop. She pulled over and stepped.
Fluttershy: Oh dear, what's going on girls.
Scootaloo: Hi Fluttershy, well, we were doing Granny a huge favor on walking Winona around….
Apple Bloom: ….and when she spotted that cat, she went haywire and chased after it….
Sweetie Belle: ….it soon went up the tree and stayed that way while Winona is barking at it. We tried to get her going, but she is so fixated on that cat.
Fluttershy: Oh dear, that is a big problem. Maybe I can try talking to Winona and see if she can come back to you girls.
Scootaloo: You're welcome to try.
She walked over to Winona who was still barking until she spotted Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Hello Winona, look I know you want to keep chasing and barking at that cat up in the tree, but you got to get back to the CMCs otherwise Granny Smith will be worried. Now you don't want that, now do you.
Winona pondered about what would Granny Smith say, she then walked off the tree and to the CMCs.
Scootaloo: Oh yeah!
Sweetie Belle: That's cute!
Apple Bloom: Thank you very much Fluttershy, we couldn't have done it without you.
Fluttershy: You're very welcome Apple Bloom, now if you excuse me, I need to get some food from the market.
Sweetie Belle: Why's that?
Fluttershy: I'm getting some picnic food that I need for a special picnic that I'm preparing for Henry.
Apple Bloom: Wow, that's real sweet of you Fluttershy for doing this for Henry. You must really care for him.
Fluttershy: Yeah, I know, he's my everything so of course, I have to do something to make him happy.
Scootaloo: Well, get going and make your man proud. We know you can.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) Thanks Scootaloo, and thank you girls for believing in me.
Sweetie Belle: No problem Fluttershy, it's what we do.
So Fluttershy walked back to her car and drove off to the market. Once she arrived at the market, she got out and headed inside. Once inside, she grabbed a cart and starts her search for food that she needs to get.
Fluttershy: Hmm, let's see what we need to get for the picnic. Ooh, I know, let's head to the produce section.
So she heads to the fruit aisle, to gather some fruit that she needs to get for a fruit salad. She gathered some apples, bananas, grapes, berries, oranges and kiwi. Tested to see how fresh it is, once she did that, she put it in a bag and placed it on the cart.
Fluttershy: Alright, fruit checked off the list, next is vegetables.
Trevor: Hello Fluttershy, what brings you here to the market.
She turned to see Trevor, Terence, Elizabeth and Nelson buying some fruit.
Fluttershy: Oh, hi Trevor, what are you guys doing here?
Trevor: Oh, I'm hanging with the gang here to help out around the fruit market that's happening across town. This market is competing for the best fruit.
Fluttershy: Oh, interesting, you guys don't mind if I help you out.
Elizabeth: Not at all, my dear, but at the same time we don't want to interfere with your time.
Fluttershy: Don't worry Elizabeth, I'm just glad I can help out all my friends, especially Henry.
Nelson: Speaking of which, where is Henry?
Fluttershy: Oh, he is having a guy's day with some of his fellow tender engines.
Trevor: I see, well, I can see that Henry is having a good time and so are you Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) Thank you Trevor, you're real sweet. Well then, shall we get you guys your fruit?
Terence: Yes, please.
So with Fluttershy's help, they gather the required fruits they need to take to the fruit market. With everything they have, the four were heading to the exit.
Terence: Thanks Fluttershy, with this amount of fruit in our hands, we could help this market win for best fruit.
Fluttershy: No problem Terence, I'm happy to help.
Elizabeth: And we appreciate it, thank you.
Nelson: We couldn't have done it without you.
Trevor: Here, take some of the fruit, you might need it.
Fluttershy: Thanks Trevor, I'm sure some of my animal friends will be most appreciated. Well, I best continue my shopping, see ya.
So Fluttershy went to the vegetable aisle and gathered some lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots and peppers. Along the way, she stopped at the dairy aisle to get cheese and the bread aisle for bread.
Fluttershy: Alright, that concludes with the food I need to prepare, now let's see on what to do for drinks. Ooh, I know, I could give Henry some refreshing water and maybe some juicy lemonade. I bet he'll love that. Now, what else, do I need. Probably some bug repellent, I'll see if they have it in store.
She went to the drink aisles and bought a cube of water bottles and even two bottles of lemonade as she placed them on the cart. Along the way, she discovered some of her other friends arguing over something.
Peter Sam: Honestly Sir Handel, you can't decide on a simple drink to get for the others.
Sir Handel: How am I supposed to know it has a bunch of different flavors, they're tough to decide.
Skarloey: Seriously though, it doesn't take that long to get a collection of fizzy drinks. Just pick one and go.
Sir Handel: Can it Skarloey, I'm deciding and we're not leaving until we decide.
Duncan: Oh, for Pete's sakes, I'm leaving you guys.
Rusty: Oh, no you don't Duncan, you're staying right here.
Duncan: Can't you let me go, you bolt for brains, I'm trying to get away from their petty argument.
Rheneas: No, that's not the way of the Narrow Gauge society, we stick together no matter what the situation is, whether big or small, puny or massive, we always solve it together.
Duncan: You just totally made that up, Rheneas!
Rheneas: No I didn't, I've learned that from Mr. Percival.
Fluttershy: Umm guys….
Sir Handel: (Growls) Why is it so hard to choose!
Peter Sam: Ugh, this is getting ridiculous, if you can't choose a simple collection of fizzy drinks, then we're leaving.
Sir Handel: Say what you want, we're not leaving.
Fluttershy: Umm guys….
Skarloey: Oh, for the love of Christ, just grab him and go! We've wasted enough time as it is.
Duncan: Thank god.
Sir Handel: No, we're not leaving until I've chosen my fizzy drinks.
Peter Sam: Then choose already, you idiot!
Fluttershy: Guys!
The guys were immediately startled by Fluttershy's shout, and luckily, the glass bottles didn't shatter.
Rusty: Whoa, you're lucky those bottles didn't break, otherwise the entire aisle will be flooded.
Duncan: No one cares about your logistics Rusty.
Rusty: Can it Duncan.
Fluttershy: Okay, can we try to resolve this in a politer manner and without all this shouting and arguing.
Duncan: Well, if you want the whole story, all of us were developing a craze for fizzy drinks. They're the talk of the town and we decided to head to the nearest market to get some. When we got there, we started searching the joint for these fizzy drinks and we finally found them in the drink aisle. Once we found them, we decide on who's going to choose a stack and of all choices, we pick lame brain Sir Handel to choose which stack to get. And just like now, he's taking forever to pick a stupid collection of bottles.
Sir Handel: Like I said, it's hard to choose because of the amount of flavors they have, you grumplegus!
Duncan: Oh shut your trap Sir Handel.
Skarloey: Now you see on what we have to deal with these two.
Fluttershy: Oh dear, I can't imagine my friends arguing like you guys.
Rheneas: Whenever is with these two, there's bound to be arguing. Without Duke, it's only me, Rusty, Peter Sam and Skarloey to keep these two under control, sometimes.
Peter Sam: But we're managing.
Fluttershy: Oh dear, well, at least you guys are trying to keep these two in line, usually it's Sunset and Applejack trying to keep some of my friends in line whenever they argue, but in the end, they always pull through in the end. So, I think you guys should just get along and work together and figure out your choices. Do you Pinkie promise, and please don't break it, because if Pinkie were here, she will go rage monster on you all.
Peter Sam: So I've heard from Sunset, (Shudders), she goes full monster if someone breaks a promise. I would, and I mean never, see her when she gets angry. No sirree.
Fluttershy: So, you guys Pinkie promise.
Rheneas: Umm, how does it go again?
Fluttershy: Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.
Sir Handel: Still to this day, that's the weirdest saying I've ever heard. Like ever.
Duncan: For once, I agree with you Sir Handel.
Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Rusty & Duncan: Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.
Fluttershy: There, was that so hard.
Peter Sam: You know, you're actually right. This actually is helping us feel a little better.
Rheneas: Yeah, you're right about that.
Fluttershy: That's better, now what flavored fizzy drinks do you guys want.
Sir Handel: Well, I've been struggling between three choices: Orange, Apple & Peach.
Fluttershy: Well, how about we put it on a vote for the fizzy drinks. So, whenever I say a fizzy drink, you all raise your hands and I count how many hands were raised.
Rusty: Are you… Oh brother, how come I didn't think of that.
Duncan: (Chuckles) So much for your….
Rusty: Shut it Duncan.
Fluttershy: Okay, so hands up for orange fizzy drinks.
She sees Sir Handel, Skarloey, Duncan and Rheneas' hands up in the air. Angel took out a notebook and wrote 4 for orange fizzy drinks.
Fluttershy: Okay, that makes 4 for orange. So, how about apple?
She sees Duncan and Rusty' hands up in the air. Angel wrote 2 for apple fizzy drinks.
Fluttershy: Okay, that makes 2 for apple. So, how about peach?
She sees Skarloey, Duncan and Rusty hands up in the air. Angel wrote 3 for peach fizzy drinks.
Fluttershy: Ooh, seems as though peach was the second highest out of the group, so orange fizzy drinks is the final decision.
The others cheered and gathered a packet of orange fizzy drinks. Skarloey then turned to Fluttershy.
Skarloey: I can't thank you enough for your help Fluttershy, if we were still stuck here, we would've been arguing nonstop without figuring out a decision. Thank you.
Fluttershy: You're welcome Skarloey, I'm just happy to help.
Skarloey: Here, take one of the fizzy drinks, I'm sure Henry will be most pleased when you gave him this.
Fluttershy: How did you?
Rheneas: (Chuckles) You girls and the guys have been the talk of the town in all. Everyone's been talking about you. Not only of the fact that you guys stopped Diesel and his flunkies but stopped Timothy's ghost from causing too much damage and saved Thomas from him.
Fluttershy: Well, it all comes to the job. But you are right Skarloey, we are that popular.
Skarloey: Well, being a proper gentleman, I suggest you get going, otherwise you'll be late.
Fluttershy: Oh, you're right, I should get going, I'll see you guys later.
Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Rusty & Duncan: See ya Fluttershy! See ya Fluttershy! See ya Fluttershy! See ya Fluttershy! See ya Fluttershy!
So Fluttershy bought the food and walked out of the market to her car, loaded the food in the trunk and set off to her house. As she was walking to the house, she sees the birds having a little scuffle.
Fluttershy: Whoa, whoa there sweeties, whatever is the matter.
One of the birds told her that a resident bird has been stealing sticks that he's gathering to build a nest for her mate.
Fluttershy: Oh my, now, now, let's not involve in any fight. Now, come here and let's have a little talk.
So Fluttershy headed to the neighboring bird and the two engage in a conversation on why he was stealing the other bird was trying to get and the same answer implies to the bird outside Fluttershy's house. She ponders on what to do to help her bird friends.
Fluttershy: Well, I see that you have a bit of a pickle under your feathers. Hmm, I think I can help you out. Maybe you can look through those bushes and maybe, find some sticks for your own nest and leave some for the bird over there. Okay.
The neighboring bird chirps at the idea and went to the other bird and the both of them agreed. They worked together to get their separate sticks for their nests. Once that's done, they were happily settling in with their respected mates.
Fluttershy: Now, what's that so hard to share the same materials for your nest.
The birds chirped in agreement and Fluttershy giggled as she headed back to the house. Once inside, she was chopping up the fruit into a fruit salad and putting them in two containers, one for her and for Henry. She also chopped some vegetables up for a salad to also take to the picnic. Along the way, some of her animal friends were also helping Fluttershy prepare the food for the picnic. Once that's done, she put all the food and drinks in the picnic basket as she heads to her car. Along the drive, she encountered Donald & Douglas, Bill & Ben with two girls, Lyra and Bon Bon. Feeling like she wants to greet them, she pulled the car over to talk with them.
Donald: Well now, look what we have Dougie, it's Henry's lover Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Hi Donald & Douglas, I see that Bill and Ben are with you, along with Lyra and Bon Bon.
Douglas: You got that right lassie, we've heard about these two from guy friends that Flash knows, calls them Sandalwood and Micro Chips.
Bon-Bon: You're right about that one Douglas, seriously I don't know how you Sudrians are this friendly.
Lyra: Well, they did have to deal with snooty diesels that are on their island, along with an arrogant private engine, a bully, two steelwork hoarders and a non-rail society led by road vehicles.
Bill: You're right about that, I still can't believe we still live with those jerks.
Ben: Tell me about it, I wish Sir Topham Hatt would've gotten rid of them by now, but no, they have their uses somewhat.
Donald: I agree with you, but some of those jerks are not fragging totally bogus evil like Diesel 10, Diesel and a few of them to say the least. Take with Norman, Den and Dart, they started bad but they turn to the side of good as a chance of redemption.
Lyra: Well, when you put it that way, it does make sense. Do you agree Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Umm, I agree with you all you guys. I do believe some of their villains could turn over a new leaf, just like Sunset said. Ooh, look at the time, I better pick up Henry. Sorry, I couldn't stay and chat, but I got a picnic set up for the two of us.
Donald: No harm feelings Fluttershy, we know you love Henry, so we waste your time.
Fluttershy: Thank you Donald, I'll see you guys later, take care.
Lyra: You too, man, the Mane 7 are really lucky having Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy and Toby as their boyfriends.
Bon-Bon: They certainly are; I wonder who we'll attract in the future.
Donald, Douglas, Bill & Ben: You never know. You never know.
So Fluttershy drove to where Henry is, around the park, so Fluttershy got out and went to the trunk to get the picnic basket. She soon heads inside, while along the way, she sees a lot squirrels, badgers, birds and rabbits, which all of them are really happy to see her.
Fluttershy: Hello animals, aww, I'm so happy to see you all. Are you ready to make this picnic something very special?
They nodded their hands agreeing that they want to help. So Fluttershy led the caravan of animals to the picnic spot. She then told Angel to go get Henry as she and her animal friends are getting the picnic set up. They soon found a spot, a patch of grass with a tree that's perfect for shade, along the way, it showed a flower patch.
Fluttershy: Oh my, it's literally perfect for it. Now, let's get this picnic set up.
Fluttershy opened the basket and birds grabbed the blanket and spread it out with their beaks. A couple of badgers has gotten plates, cups and napkins and spread it out. Some squirrels and rabbits has gotten the food and drinks and they carefully prepared it for her expectations. Once that's done, they wait for Fluttershy. Meanwhile, Henry was napping at a different corner of the park and he was dreaming of him and Fluttershy frolicking all over the flower pasture. He soon slowly woke up seeing the afternoon sky.
Henry: (Sniffs, exhales) The sweet, smell of the afternoon breeze. I absolutely love it, lying around the ground, looking at the clouds and seeing the afternoon sun. This has been an excellent vacation for me and my friends to enjoy. What more is there for me to enjoy?
Angel popped out and spotted Henry lying on the ground. He then hopped towards him and started nudging him to get his attention.
Henry: Huh, oh, hello Angel, what are you doing here little buddy.
Angel pointed to the direction to where Fluttershy and her animal friends are setting up the picnic.
Henry: Oh, you want me to follow you Angel?
Angel nodded and hopped off.
Henry: Okay then, lead the way.
So Henry followed Angel to where Fluttershy is. Meanwhile, Fluttershy was waiting for Henry to surprise him.
Fluttershy: Oh, I can't wait to see what Henry thinks of the picnic we all set up for him.
They waited for Henry to arrive, what seem like minutes, Angel arrived with Henry behind him. When Henry saw the picnic, he was surprised.
Henry: What is this?
Fluttershy: Surprise! Welcome to this special picnic me and my animal friends have prepared for the two of us.
Henry: Wow, thanks for doing this for me Fluttershy, you're the best.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) Thank you Henry, you're real sweet. (Kisses his cheek) Care to join us?
Henry: I would be happy to join you.
He soon picked her up bridal style, which caused her to giggle a little bit. The two of them along with their animal friends soon dig in to the picnic that was offered. After their picnic, they were resting up against a tree when something buzzed on Fluttershy's phone.
Fluttershy: What's this?
Henry: What's up Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: Rarity sent a text to tell us to meet her at a different corner of the park.
Henry: Whatever she sent, it must be important.
Fluttershy: You're right, let's go see what Rarity's up to.
So the two of them walked off to their car and drove to where Rarity is. Once they got there, they parked behind James's new car, which surprised Fluttershy and Henry.
Henry: Whoa, who own this car?
James: Uh, you're looking at it Henry, my man.
Fluttershy: James! You own this car?
James: You're right Fluttershy, and it's all thanks to Rarity.
Rarity: That's right darlings. I, along with some of my friends, helped get Jamesy his new car. Isn't it beautiful.
Henry: It certainly is, and where are Gordon and Rainbow Dash?
Gordon: We're here Henry, just sitting around waiting for the others.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, but Rarity did let us go for a run or two to stretch our legs.
Fluttershy: Well, at least you guys got some exercise while waiting for the others.
James: Hopefully, they do show up, it's getting boring just sitting here waiting for them.
Henry: It might, but hey, at least we can chat at what you been doing on your second dates.
Gordon: Well, the two of us got a story to tell you
So the group talked to each other about their dates while they wait for the others. To be continued….
