- >probably due to your dexterity with your hands.
- >and of course your MacBook kinda helped.

- >Twilight is busy studying as usual.
- >"o hey anon. What brings you here?"
- "nothing really. I was just thinking, you know... How are our relationships different?"
- >she looks puzzled.
- "I mean... Whats different between human and pony relationships?"
- >"You mean like non-platonic relationships."
- "yeah."
- >she thinks for a few seconds.
- >"why do you ask?"
- >shit, curveball
- >"I Donno. I've just been thinking about rainbow all day."
- >"anon... I know how much relationships can mean to you humans. If you need any help...."
- "it's fine twilight. I ain't even mad... It's just... Where I come from, relationships seem a lot more... Serious. And I can't understand why."
- >twilight instantly gets out a quill and paper and writes it down.
- >"I don't know why anon. It's just the way it is. I guess it's just a culture that has developed."
- >she writes more.
- >"not to mention the fact that there are far fewer stallions here than men on earth."
- >you consider this.
- >and suddenly, for no reason at all, you ask a dumb question.
- "hey twilight, have you ever had a coltfriend?"
- >the sudden question takes her by surprise.
- >"I... I... Erm, no, actually."
- >you feel like asking why, but you know that would be kinda dick move
- >"it's just... I have met some ponies I liked but... Well I mean my studies take up much of my time and all that... And plus, I don't usually go out and meet people."
- "I see."
- >it suddenly dawns on you that you have never seen a single member of the mane6 in a relationship, not counting you and rainbow.
- "hey twilight... Has rainbow ever had another coltfriend?"
- >"she told me she did... One or two... But they were assholes by the sound of it. Well, that's what she called them anyway."
- "oh."
- >"Applejack has had a few colt friends… But I guess her work keeps her busy most of the time so, she never really has time for them. oh! and then theres Rarity, she has also had a few… but not really serious relations, more like one night stands if anything… and then theres pinkie… same thing basically. I guess all the stallions find her a bit…"
- "Insane?"
- >"well, yeah that. and then there is… Fluttershy."
- >She looks down, her expression changing.
- >"She… she… she's never been with anyone."
- "Well thats not really a surprise I guess. she is FlutterSHY after all."
- >Oh anon… you so funny
- >no but srsly
- >"Yaeh… But she…"
- "but she what?"
- >"She doesn't LIKE being shy. its just the way she is. In fact… She's…"
- >You are waiting patently as twilight struggles to decide if she wants to tell you this.
- >"She has been feeling really lonely lately."
- "So would I if I lived by myself and hardly saw anyone except animals all day."
- >"Yeah but… Its more serious than that."
- "What?"
- >"I think she's been real depressed lately."
- >You think over the last few times you met fluttershy.
- >Holy shit. twilights right. She HAS been acting differently.
- >"Im really worried about her anon… She usually doesn't get like this. even rainbow said this is the worst she has ever seen her."
- >You feel slightly guilty for some reason.
- >"I don't know what it is."
- "You don't think its because she doesn't have anybody to love?"
- >"She has the animals…"
- "Yeah, but you can only love them so much. They can't really return it."
- >Twilight magics her pen up and starts taking notes.
- >"I really don't want her to be like this anon. If only there was something we could do."
- >You ponder for a moment.
- "I think Im gonna go see her now."
- >"What, Right now?"
- "Sure, why not? ill cook her spaghetti or something for dinner. It'll just make her happy at least. And plus, Maybe I can talk to her about her depression."
- >"Good idea anon. you do that, but come back and tell me what she says."
- >You arrive at fluttershy's cottage and knock at the door.
- >you can hear her coming down the stairs, and slowly unbolt the latches.
- >She opens the door slightly apprehensively, but immediately her expression changes when she see you.
- >You walk in.
- "Hello, Fluttershy."
- >You bend down and hug her.
- >"Anon… What are you doing here?"
- "I just thought Id come by and cook you dinner."
- >Fluttershy does not compute.
- >"But… why?"
- "Well, I haven't seen you in so long, I just thought id come by and do something nice for you."
- >She makes a squeeing noise.
- >Sitting down, spaghetti ready.
- >"Im so glad that you decided to do this for me anon."
- "My pleasure. I just wanted to do something nice."
- >You talk about shit in general while you eat your spaghetti.
- >They may not have mince or meatballs in equestria, but this olive oil sauce thing makes up for that.
- >But eventually, you try to get to whats bothering you.
- "me and twilight were talking about the differences between human and pony relationships today."
- >"Oh, why is that?"
- "Oh nothing, I was just wondering about myself and rainbow."
- >"Its a shame that you two broke up."
- "Not really. we still see each other every day, and plus, it gives her more time for the weather team and all that."
- >Fluttershy nods.
- "Hey flutters, you have never had a coltfriend, have you?"
- >This question takes flutters by surprise.
- >"oh my… um… erm… no."
- >You change your tone. to one of sincerity.
- "Twilight tells me you have been feeling kind of down lately."
- >Fluttershy is becoming quieter and quieter.
- >"well… yeah, kind of."
- "do you know whats causing it?"
- >She looks down.
- "Flutters, listen here."
- >You rest your hand on her mane.
- "Im your friend flutters. I just want you to be happy. and If you don't tell me why you are so depressed, ill never be able to help you."
- >She sort of looks up.
- >"fine."
- >You stroke her mane.
- "Good. now tell me whats making you sad."
- >She takes a breath.
- >"well, Iv been feeling really lonely lately, and I don't know why, It never happened to me before, and Now its just… I don't know. I just want to be normal like the other ponies. I just want to go out and meet somepony… somepony who will love me back."
- >These words drive home how hard she must be feeling about this.
- "Listen flutters. I can't control who is attracted to you or not, But I'm gonna help you on this."
- >"how?"
- "The only reason you can't find that special somepony is because you aren't looking."
- >Fluttershy looks up at you.
- "Your… Your too shy."
- >"So how are you going to help me?"
- "Im going to help you overcome your shyness and find that special somepony."
