Ch.3: Fluttershy's New Amigo

It has been about five to ten minutes since Fluttershy has left the dentist's office. She feels so relieved to hear that her fangs are just a slight side effect from her incident and that she won't become FlutterBat again. So she has decided to have a walk around town so she can relax more. Discord, Angel, and her animal friends won't be expecting her home until later, so a small walk would be nice.

Wait, her animal friends!

"Oh, I needed to pick up more supplies at the pharmacy," she tells herself. "I am almost out of ointment, and I am out of bandages." She then trotted by until she found the pharmacy and went in to buy her supplies.

A few minutes later, she has bought what she needed and left the building. When she came out the door, however, she bumped into somepony and dropped her things.

"Oh, my!" she cried, bending down to get her things. "I am so sorry; I didn't see you there."

"Oh, no," the Pony replied in a low male voice before. "The fault is mine, senorita." He then bent down to help her, only for his front hoof to touch her front hoof.

In reply, Fluttershy looked up to see the face of the Pony before her. He is a navy blue Earth Pony with a dark sapphire, wavy mane and tail and golden green eyes. And his Cutie Mark is an orange tiger paw with claws.

Fluttershy couldn't help but blush a little as the new Pony smiled down at her kindly. She has to admit that he's quite the gentlecolt…and handsome. Realizing what she just mentally called him, her blush grew deeper.

"I hope you are not hurt, my dear," he then said to her, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Oh, no," she answered as he picked up the last of her things for her. "I am alright. I just…was surprised is all. Um, thank you for helping me." He only smiled at her again.

"I am more than happy to help a lovely lady such as yourself," he stated. She then looked away with a bashful blush.

"You're…you're too kind…um…"

"Leon," the male answered her. "My name is Leon."

"A handsome name," she replied, turning back to him. "My name is Fluttershy." The stallion then took her front hoof into his and held it up.

"I am honored…Senorita Fluttershy." He then kissed it, making her blush again. She quickly snapped out of it.

"Um…I don't think I have seen you around here before, Leon."

"Oh, I have just arrived here from afar," he explained. "Since Ponyville is new to me, I am afraid I do not know my way around this town." Fluttershy frowned in reply, feeling bad for her new friend that he doesn't know his way around town. She may be a shy little filly, but she's not rude.

"Well, I would be happy to show you around," she stated. "I am not doing anything else at the moment, and it's the least I can do to repay you for helping me." Leon smiled in reply.

"Gracias, Fluttershy. It means very much to me to get to know you better as well." She returned the smile before the two of them walked through town together side by side.
