Chapter 7
Applejack arrived at a cottage located just outside the Everfree forest, a forest where not even the bravest ponies dare trek, also where the friends had found the Necklaces and Tiara of Harmony.
She approached the cottage, and knocked on the door.
"Just a minute!"
Applejack would know that voice anywhere. It was Fluttershy, the animal lover in her circle of friends.
Fluttershy is a Pegasus with a pale light grayish gold coat, moderate cyan eyes, and a long pale light greyish rose mane and matching tail. Her cutie mark is 3 pink butterflies. She unfortunately lives up to her name.
The door opened, and Fluttershy came out, holding her pet bunny Angel.
"Yes, Applejack?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to come to my brother Big Mac's birthday party."
Fluttershy blushed at that name, having a crush on the red stallion.
"I suppose I'll come, if the rest of the girls are coming."
"Just have to invite Dash and Twilight, then we can start planning."
"Then in that case, I'd be honoured to come. Thank you Applejack."
"Aw, it's nothing, Sugarcube. See you later."
Applejack started to leave for town, but was hugged by Fluttershy. The farmer returned the favour, then kept on her way.
Fluttershy gasped.
"What is it, Fluttershy?"
"Didn't you mention still needing to invite Rainbow Dash?"
"I was planning on inviting Twi first, but if you want me to invite Dash now, I can get the hot air balloon."
"Oh, yes, of course! I can untie the anchors, and send you on your way!"
Applejack went into town, got the balloon, and returned.
She hopped in, got ready, and asked Fluttershy to untie the anchors.
Applejack felt the balloon ascend, and got ready to arrive in Cloudsdale, waving goodbye to Fluttershy.
