Aanon in Equestria Part 8: Fluttershy

>Warm. You feel warm.
>It feels good.
>You open your eyes.
>Twilight and you were in your bed, the sun from her bedroom window hitting both of you. You are instantly blinded, and hold your hand over your eyes to adjust to the brightness.
>You can't believe you finally told Twilight last night. After all of the wondering, all of the questioning, you were finally together.
>You stretch your arms, and carefully get out of bed.
>Phew, you stink. Have you even showered when you got here? You don't think you ever did.
>Well, now is better than never.
>You remember seeing some towels in the closet where you got your first sheets. You put on your underwear, and you go down to it and take one of them, and head back upstairs, into the bathroom.
>It was a pretty standard bathroom. There was a sink, a toilet, and a shower. The shower had those glass panels that you hated though. You liked your privacy.
>You lock the door and turn on the water. You wait a little for it to rise in temperature, and step in. The hot water felt like heaven on your body. You couldn't wait until you were clean. You noticed some shampoo, and washed your hair. You couldn't find any soap, so you just used it for the rest of your body as well.
>Soap is soap, right?
>Finally clean, you turn off the water and you dry yourself off.
>Fuck. You forgot to bring clothes with you. And you weren't wearing dirty underwear.
>You didn't want to walk in the bedroom with Twilight in your bed, exposed like this.
>Wait, why did it matter? You were more exposed than this last night..
>You wrap the towel around your waist and unlock the bathroom door.
>Opening the door, you feel a cool breeze come  in, making you shiver. You step outside of the bathroom.
"Eek!"
>There was somep0ny at the top of the stairs.
>She sped into yours and Twilight's bedroom, so you didn't get a good look at her. All you saw was that she had a yellow dress, and long, flowing pink hair.
What the..
>Crap, that's exactly where your clothes were. Should you just casually walk in? Should you just wait for her to get out? What was she doing here in the first place?
>Double crap. You remember that Twilight wasn't wearing anything either.
>Screw it. You make sure the towel wouldn't fall off of you, and you march into the room.
>The girl was trying to wake up Twilight, who was thankfully wrapped tightly in your blankets, with no luck.
>It wasn't really that Twilight was a heavy sleeper, it's that she was whispering.
Girl: Psst, Twilight, get up! There's somep0ny in your house! Twi-
>She pauses, seeing you.
Girl: Eep! Don't hurt me!
>She runs to Twilights bed, and hides behind it.
>You whisper to her.
Wait! it's okay! Twilight's letting me stay here!
Girl: What? But I mean, Twilight never lets anyp0ny stay over..
>The whole time she was staring at your bare chest.
I'll explain later. Can you please get out so I can get dressed?
Girl: But Twilights still in here..
Trust me I don't think she'll mind. What's your name?
Girl: Um.. It's.. Fluttershy.
>Wow, that name suited her.
Okay Fluttershy, can you please leave the room for a sec? As you can see, I'm not decent.
Fluttershy: Oh, um.. okay.
>She slowly gets up, leaving the room. You shut the door behind her.
>What was she doing here?
>You quickly get dressed, not wanting to wake Twilight.
>Wow, Rarity was quite the seamstress.
>You open the door again. Fluttershy was still there. She looked at you, then looked at the floor, shuffling her feet.
Sorry about that, I needed a shower. Did you need something from Twilight?
Flutter: Um.. no. Well, yes. She said that she thought she had found a new species or something..
>New species? Did she mean you?
Flutter: I would have come earlier, but Angel wasn't feeling well, and I couldn't leave him like that..
Oh, ok. So what did you want?
Flutter: Well, I love animals, and I thought that maybe I could know what it was..
So do you know what I am?
Flutter: You? I don't know, maybe a-
>She realizes who Twilight was talking about.
Flutter: Wow! When Twilight said a new species, I thought she ment a small animal or something! I didn't know it would be an entirely new species of pony! This is so wonderful!
Fluttershy, speak more quietly! Twilight's still sleeping!
Flutter: Oh, right.. sorry.
Let's go downstairs. You can ask me questions then.
>As soon as you hit the bottom step, she starts to drill you with questions.
Flutter: So what are you? Why do your teeth look that way? Do you eat jewels too?
Jewels? Why would I eat those?
Flutter: So, are you related to dragons?
No, I'm a human. The scientific term: Homo Sapien.
Flutter: *giggle* You sound like Twilight. Then why are your teeth like that?
>Uh oh. Twilight asked you that, and you were barely able to explain. You don't think that she looks like the type that would stay if you told her either.
Flutter: Do you eat meat?
Well, it's because, uh..- what?
Flutter: I said, do you eat meat? That would explain it.
Well, yeah..
>She just stood there.
Well, aren't you scared? I just said I eat meat?
Flutter: Why would I be scared? I know plenty of animals that eat meat!
>That makes this easier.
>Great, now you are craving meat. It would be so good to have a giant steak right now. Cooked medium rare. You wouldn't even use utensils, you'd just dive right in. But you promised Twilight..
Flutter: Are you ok?
>You had started to drool.
Huh? Yeah, I'm ok. Just.. tired.
Flutter: So, why are you here with Twilight? I didn't think she would let anyp0ny stay with her, especially a stallion..
Well, when I got here, I had no other place to stay, and she just kind of.. let me sleep here.
Flutter: You're sleeping in the same room with her? That must be very awkward.
Yeah, the same room..
Twilight: What's going on here- Yikes!
>You barely catch a glimpse of Twilight. She was in her pajamas again, but you knew that those were still too revealing for her friends.
>She comes back a minute later in fresh clothes.
Twilight: Hey Fluttershy! What are you doing here?!
Flutter: Oh, I was just coming to visit you about.. well, Aanon.
Twilight: Oh, right! Sorry Fluttershy, I forgot.
Flutter: That's okay, Aanon was just telling me about himself.
Twilight: Oh, ok.
Rumble.
>For the first time, that wasn't you.
Twilight: Oops, excuse me! Why don't we all have breakfast!
Flutter: It's past noon though..
Twilight: Okay, then how about lunch?
Flutter: That sounds great! We could go to that new-
Ding dong.
I'll get it.
>You go over and open the door. It was Rarity.
Hey Rarity! How's it going?
Rarity: Why, Good afternoon Aanon. Is Twilight here?
Yeah, she's on the couch.
>You let Rarity in, and shut the-
"Hold up there partner!"
>A boot stops the door.
Hey Applejack.
Applejack: Howdy Aanon! I was just stopping by to tell Twilight somethin'.
Come on in.
>You let her in, and now you shut-
"Look out!"
>Reflexively, you dive out of the way, just in time for Rainbow Dash to come crashing in the house.
Rainbow: Ouch.. sorry, I came in faster than I thought.
>She gets up, and dusts herself off.
Rainbow: How's it going Aanon? Did you work "You know what" out?
Yep.
Rainbow: Awesome!
>You both bump fists.
Twilight: You know Rainbow Dash? How did you meet her?
We sort of.. ran into each other.
Twilight: Wow Aanon, I think you've met all of my friends. All except-
Pinkie: Except who?
>Pinkie was right by you.
>You jump a little. How does she do that?
Pinkie: What's everyp0ny doing?! Are we having a party?!
No Pinkie, we were-
Twilight: So you've met Pinkie too?! You really have met all of my friends Aanon.
Rumble rumble rumble.
>Everyp0ny's stomachs rumbled.
Pinkie: Hey everyp0ny! Why don't we have a picnic?!
Twilight: Yeah, that's not a bad idea Pinkie. Does everyp0ny want a picnic?
>Every freaking p0ny agrees.
Twilight: All right then! I'll pack all of us a lunch!

>You, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack walk into the Ponyville Park, Twilight and you walking side by side.
Rarity: Ah, I see that you two finally solved your little problem.
>Twilight blushed.
Rainbow Dash: So, are you two sleeping together, or-
Rarity: Rainbow, that's very unladylike to ask that!
>You can tell that Rarity wanted to know too.
>There was a dead silence.
>Does Twilight want them to know?
Yes, we are.
>Well, it's too late now.
>All of them "awwed".
>Twilights face was turning red again.
Twilight: Well I think this is a good place!
>She quickly takes out a blanket and lays it down. She takes out the food.
>Dandylion sandwiches again? At least she had the macaroni salad too..
>You all get paper plates and each grab a sandwich, and some salad. You do as you did last time, and put it in your sandwich, making it possible to eat. You were really starting to miss meat..
>All of them were staring at you.
I know, I know, I eat weird..
Rainbow: You sure are strange Aanon..
Pinkie: Wow! It actually doesn't taste that bad.
>You look over. Pinkie had done the same thing.
>Everyp0ny tries it.
Applejack: Hey, it really isn't so bad..
Rarity: No thank you! I don't like my food touching.
Rainbow: Eh, it's ok.
>You all finish your meal, and start to chat.
Rainbow: So where do humans come from?
Flutter: And how did you get here?
Pinkie: what's 2 + 2?
>You sigh, and tell all of them how you got there.
Rainbow: Whoa, so you're not even from Equestria..
Yeah, I know..
Pinkie: ahem.
It's 4 Pinkie.
>Pinkie beams.
Applejack: So what are you going to do Aanon?
>Everyp0ny looks at you. You feel Twilight nervously shift by you.
I don't know. I mean, I can't leave Twilight, but I want to see my family and friends again..
>You all begin to pack up, not saying a word.
>Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie head home, and you wave to them all.
Twi: So are you coming home with- uh my house with me Aanon?
No, I think I need to just take a walk..
>Twilight's head droops.
Twi: Oh, ok..
Rarity: Don't worry darling, I'll accompany you home.
Twi: Thanks Rarity.
>You knew that Rarity just wanted to gossip with her, but you didn't mention it.
>They both walk towards Twilights house. You turn in a different direction and begin to walk.
>What the hell am I going to do?! I want to stay, but what about my family? How are they taking it with me being gone for so long?
>You pause.
>How long has it been? 4, 5 days?
>You count off the days with your fingers.
>5 days. Holy crap you've been gone awhile.
>That would mean it's Friday now-
"Look out!"
>Ohshitrainbowdash.
>You take a dive, and see something crash in the bushes near you.
>You get up, and take a closer look. It wasn't a thing, It was a person, p0ny, whatever. It was three p0nies, little girl ones to be more specific. One of them had red hair, and farm boots. Another had purple tomboyish hair, and an orange jacket, and the last had purple-pink hair, with a well-made white dress on.
"Ouch! I told you having a giant slingshot for a cutie mark wasn't a good idea!"
"Well, Ah thought we otta try it!"
"Next time, let's do something a little less.. painful."
"Agreed!" All of them say.
Are you girls okay?
"Oh, Hiya there! yeah, I think so.. are you guys ok?"
"Yep."
"Uh huh."
"So, what's your name mister?"
My name's Aanonymous, but everyone calls me Aanon.
"You're Aanon? My name's Applebloom! I'm Applejack's sister! Thanks for helping with the Applebuck harvest!"
You're welcome Applebloom. And your names are?
>The tomboy stands up, and brushes herself off.
"I'm Scootaloo!"
>The last one just stares at you.
"You're Aanon? Wow! My sister Rarity talks about you a lot! My name's Sweetie Belle!"
>Another sister? What are the odds.
>Wait, what?
She talks about me? What does she say?
Sweetie: She says that you are one of the nicest people she has met, and that she wished you would've met her fir- Uh, actually, I think that she wouldn't want me to say anything.
>?
Ok then. What are you kids doing?
Applebloom: Well, we were just tryin' ta get our cutie marks again, but we still keep gettin' nothin!
What's a cutie mark?
Scoot: What? Surely you must have a cutie mark. Everyp0ny gets them at a young age!
But I'm not a p0ny. I'm human.
Sweetie: Oh, right! Rarity told me that! Do humans not get cutie marks or something?
What the heck is a cutie mark?!
Scoot: It's what you get on your flank when you find your true talent! Everyp0ny gets one when they're a filly! All except us so far..
>Flank? As in their butts?
>How did you not see Twilight's then? Then again, you weren't really paying attention to that.. region of her body. You'll make sure you see it next time..
Applebloom: So, watcha doin' Aanon?
I'm just.. walking.
Sweetie: Can we walk with you?
Uh, I guess so.
>You might as well head back to Twilight's, You were getting tired of walking anyways. As you walk, they start to drill you with questions.
Applebloom: Why don't you have cutie marks?
I don't really know..
Sweetie: How do you know what you'll be when you grow up?
You just go with what you like to do usually. It's actually a big problem where I come from.
Scoot: That sounds awful..
I know.
>You don't tell them that there were much worse problems on Earth. They didn't need to know.
>You reach the city limits, and walk into town.
So all of these p0nies have cutie marks?
Scoot: Yep! Everyp0ny has a special talent that relates to their cutie mark!
>Wow.
How do you know if they have one?
Scoot: Well, since it's sort of rude to just look, you just have to ask them.
Right. So do you have a sister too?
>Scootaloo's head drops.
Scoot: Well, I actually.. no, I don't have one.
That's too bad.
>Uh, oh. She's upset. Think..
You know, I don't have a sister either.
Scoot: Really?
Yeah, I just have an older brother.
Scoot: I would take an older brother too.
Actually, we fight a lot. In fact, he's kind of a jacka- a jerk.
>Finally, a smile.
Well, I should probably go now, I'll see you fillies later, ok?
CMC: Ok! Thanks for walking us into town Aanon!
>You wave goodbye to the fillies, and walk into the center of the town.
>There was a lot of vendors in this part of the town. You soon spot a certain p0ny with pink hair.
Hey Fluttershy!
>Fluttershy jumps in surprise, and sees you. She had something in her hands. When you walk closer to her, she puts it behind her back.
Hey Fluttershy, what are you doing here?
Flutter: Oh, I'm just.. shopping.
What's behind your back?
Flutter: It's.. a surprise.
Really? Well surprise me then.
Flutter: I can't.. Twilight made me promise not to show you it.
>So Twilight's hiding something. Your curiosity just rose.
Ok Fluttershy, I won't pry. But can I help with your shopping? I'm a little bored.
Flutter: Um, sure.. just let me..
>She turns her back on you, and puts whatever it is into her bag.
Flutter: Ok, let's go.
>You stop by a carrot shack.
Flutter: The first thing I need is carrots..
>She walks up to the salesp0ny.
Flutter: How much for 3 of these?
Salesp0ny: 7 bits.
Flutter: How about 5?
Salesp0ny: 6
Flutter: Deal.
>She gives him the bits, and he gives Fluttershy the carrots she wants.
You have to barter with them?
Flutter: Yeah, it's sometimes tough for me..
Can I try?
Flutter: I guess so.. I also need a tomato..
>You walk over to the tomato cart, pulling out your own bits. You didn't want to fail miserably and use Fluttershy's money for it. You still didn't know how much a bit was worth.
>You spy a big, red tomato among the bunch. You approach the salesp0ny.
How much for that tomato?
Salesp0ny: 10 bits.
10 bits!? That's outrageous. 3 bits
Salesp0ny: 3 bits?! Now who's being outrageous? 9 bits.
4 bits.
Salesp0ny: 7 bits
4 and a half bits.
Salesp0ny: What? There isn't such thing as a half bit!
5 bits and I'll leave you alone.
Salesp0ny: Fine, deal.
>You fork over the bits, and take the tomato, the p0ny grumbling while you walk away.
>You walk over to Fluttershy, giving her the tomato. She happily takes it in her hands.
How did I do?
Flutter: That was great Aanon! That was a really good deal he gave you!
>It was? You had no idea.
Flutter: I think that was the last thing on my list. Would you like to.. um.. walk me home?
Sure Fluttershy, I've got nothing else to do.
>You slowly follow Fluttershy, her asking you questions the entire way.
Flutter: So what types of meat do you eat?
Well, I eat chicken, pork, and fish.
>There was no way you were telling her the last.
Flutter: Really? I think I may be able to get you some fish.
>Just the thought of having meat, any meat, made your mouth water.
I would be so thankful.
Flutter: *giggle* ok Aanon, I'll try sometime. Did you have any siblings at all?
I had a brother, but he's a di- Yes. I had a brother.
Flutter: Was he just like you?
No. We were complete opposites.
Flutter: How do you like Ponyville so far?
This place is awesome Fluttershy. It really is like no place I've ever been.
Flutter: Well I'm glad you like it here Aanon.
>You were already past the city limits.
Uh, Fluttershy? Where exactly do you live?
Flutter: Oh, right. I live by the edge of the woods.
Isn't that a little scary for someone like you?
Flutter: No, not really. I have so many animals to take care of, so I'm never alone.
>You see her cottage up in the distance. The closer you get to it, the more details you see.
>It was completely covered in what looked like grass or leaves. Something green. It seemed to be very cozy though. There were so many animals too. squirrels, bunnies, birds. You name it, and it was there.
>You walk her right up to her front door.
Flutter: Thank you for walking me home Aanon. It was very.. nice of you.
Anytime Fluttershy.
Flutter: Would you like to come in?
>You look up to the sky. The sun was going to set within an hour.
Sorry Fluttershy, but I really have to get back to Twilight's.
>Fluttershy's head drops.
Flutter: Oh, ok then..
>Wow, she's taking it hard.
Flutter: Can we maybe spend time together tomorrow?
I don't know, I wanted to be with Twilight-
>Was she about to cry? You better say something quick..
I think I can do that.
>She quickly lightens up.
Flutter: Oh, that would be wonderful Aanon!
>She gives you a big hug.
>Seconds pass. It was getting awkward.
Ok Fluttershy, see you tomorrow. You can let go now.
Flutter: Oh, sorry Aanon.. I just..
>She shuffles her feet.
Ok Fluttershy, I should go now.
>You walk away, and finally hear the door shut behind you.
>What was that about? Was she ok?
>You shake your head, focusing on the task at hand: A mile walk back to town.
>On the other side of the door, Fluttershy was having a problem.
>Liking someone sure was hard when they were already taken, especially by one of your best friends.
