It's been three weeks since the Unicorn Games. Fluttershy's at her house taking care of her animal friends. Although she's been having a rough time getting them under control. She bathes them, feeds them, takes care of them, all by herself. Right now, she's trying to bathe Angel, but she refuses to go into the tub.

"C'mon Angel! Don't you want to be clean?" Fluttershy asked her dirty bunny. Angel shakes his head no. "But Angel, if you don't get clean, you'll get sick!" Angel raised his shoulders hinting she doesn't care. Fluttershy gives her bunny the stare, then Angel laughs.

"Oh no, the stare doesn't work anymore! Oh what am I going to do? What am I going to do?" Fluttershy said to herself with her hooves covering her face.

Then Fluttershy heard a knock on her door. "Hm, I wonder who that could be?" Fluttershy asked herself. Then she flew out. Angel giggled and tried to tip-toe away, but then Fluttershy comes in, catching Angel off guard and forces him into the tub. Angel punched the water and gave Fluttershy an annoyed look. Fluttershy smiled and gave out a squee. Fluttershy flies to the door, and opens it. Fluttershy's friend Flare zooms right in.

"FLUTTERSHY? FLUTTERSHY? FLUTTERSHY?" cried Flare, hoping from hoove to hoove holding a tiny fish tank. Flare looks really worried, and is sweating.

"Oh my gosh, Flare! What happened?" asked Fluttershy, looking worried.

"My fish! My fish! My fish!" cried Flare.

"Yes? Yes? Yes?" asked Fluttershy.

"He's, he's, he's..." cried Flare.

"What? What? What?" cried Fluttershy.

"Passed. Passed. Passed. Crying face. Crying face. Crying face." said Flare, looking very sad.

Fluttershy was in shock and gasped. "Oh my goodness, Flare. I am so sorry. I... I dunno what to say." said Fluttershy very sadly.

"This this this, was was was, my my my, elder elder elder, fish fish fish." said Flare.

"Oh Flare? I don't want to be rude, but... um... why are you saying everything three times? I mean... I'm just asking... that's all. Sorry." said Fluttershy.

"I-D-K." said Flare, then he crossed his eyes and said in a hillbilly voice; "Because I want to."

Fluttershy put her hoof on Flare's shoulder and said very sadly; "I am so sorry for your loss."

Flare sniffed and said, "It's cool, Flutty."

Fluttershy looked in the fish bowl and saw the passed-away fish, but was concern because that's not a fish she's seen before. "Uh, Flare?" said Fluttershy. "I... umm... sorry, but... I never seen this fish before. He doesn't look like Darrel, Piddles, Yoyo, Rainbow, Dorthey, or Pearl."

"Oh, this is Hoops. He was a catfish. He was an elder fish in the tank. He got old, and usually stays inside one of the little barrels or vases that were inside the tank. He started doing that before I even moved to Ponyville. I was worried. But now... crying face." said Flare than he closed his eyes, looked down, and tears ran through his eyes.

Fluttershy hugged him and said; "There there, Flare. There there."

Flare sniffed, rubbed his eyes and said; "Oh, you rhymed!"

Fluttershy giggled and said; "Yep, I guess I did."

Flare smiled at Fluttershy, but then looked down sad at the fish tank again. "Flutters?" said Flare.

"Yes, Flare?" said Fluttershy.

"You're great with animals, right?" asked Flare.

"Of course, you know that! I mean... you did... right?" said Fluttershy.

"Yeah, and you take care of animals, such as fish right?" asked Flare.

"Well... um... yes, I believe I do." said Fluttershy.

"Well. *Sniff* You want to have a funeral for him? Everypony else is busy at the moment." said Flare.

"Of course, Flare!" said Fluttershy.

Outside, it started to rain. Flare and Fluttershy were outside wearing raincoats, and Flare was holding the box that held Hoops. Flare was teary-eyed and set the box down at a hole they dug up.

"Dear Wizards of Hope, Strength, and Feelings." Flare began. "Today we're honoring a lost member of our family, but we're also celebrating, because Hoops was a great fish, and we were very happy face to have him in our lives. But nothing and nopony last's forever. Hoops will never be forgotton, and he'll always be there right by my side while I'm getting very upset, because dragons and wolves keep coming at random times in Skyrim, trying to kill me, and it's getting very annoying. Sometimes I need a guard's help, but they keep saying annoying arrow in the knee jokes. And sometimes I can't escape the fight, because fast travel doesn't work when enemies are nearby. And let's not forget, they never give me the chance to heal or get away. And sometimes..."

"Uh, Flare... umm... I'm very sorry, but... um... can't you cut to the chase? I mean, if that's okay." asked Fluttershy.

"Sure, sister." said Flare. "But my point is, Hoops will always be around, in our hearts, our souls, and our minds."

"Wow, Flare. That was very sweet!" said Fluttershy with tears in her eyes.

"Smiley face. You want to say a few words?" asked Flare.

"Sure!" said Fluttershy. "I never knew Hoops, but if he was a live fish that Flare loved, I feel the same way. Smiley face."

"Hey! That's my thing remember? LOL remember Fluttershy?" said Flare.

"Oh, I am so sorry." said Fluttershy embarressed.

"J-K LOL, you can say it if you want to." said Flare.

"Okay." said Fluttershy. "Winkey face." Fluttershy winked at him.

"Goodbye Hoops. May the Wizards be with you." Flare said to Hoops. Then Flare filled the hole with the box inside. Then Fluttershy picked some flowers from her garden and put them on the grave.

Flare and Fluttershy walked back inside her house and took off their raincoats.

"Hey Flutters, thanks for everything! You were pretty much the only one available for this small event." said Flare.

"Oh it's really no big deal, animals and fish are ponies too." said Fluttershy.

"Well I'm glad you understand." said Flare giving her a smile. "Well I have to get back to the store now, I'll see you later."

"Oh, Flare wait." said Fluttershy. "It's raining pretty hard out there, how about... I mean if it's okay... you can stay here for a little bit, until it... you know... clears up?" Fluttershy smiled and gave a squee.

"Alright, sounds good." said Flare, then he looks at his watch. "I'm still on my lunch break anyway. But I didn't have anything yet."

"Well allow me to treat you to lunch, I mean if it's okay." said Fluttershy.

"You know I can't say no to food! I can eat almost anything that's legaly edible!" said Flare.

"Well I have just the thing for you! Be right back!" said Fluttershy as she walks to her kitchen to whip something up.

Flare's stomach rumbles. "Uh oh. Flutty I have to use the lavatory." said Flare.

"Sure, it's down the hall to the left!" Fluttershy said from the kitchen.

"Thanks!" said Flare. Flare runs to the bathroom and sits on the toilet. "Sigh, much better! I knew I shouldn've had those burritos for breakfast."

Flare looks at the tub and sees a wrinkled Angel staring at him. "SURPRISE FACE!" cried Flare. Flare screamed and ran out of the bathroom with a piece of toilet paper stuck on his back left shoe. "Oh whoops, forgot to wash my hands." said Flare. Then he ran back into the bathroom to wash his hands, then ran out screaming again.

"Whoa, whoa! What's going on?" asked Fluttershy.

"There's a monster in your lavatory!" cried Flare.

"A monster? Oh no! Angel's in there!" cried Fluttershy. She runs into the bathroom and sees Angel all wrinkled up in the tub. "Oh silly, Flare! It's just Angel!"

Flare walks into the bathroom and looks at Angel. "What happened to your bunny? Why does it look so old?" asked Flare.

"Oh no, Angel's not old, she was just in the tub too long." said Fluttershy. Angel shakes around getting the water off himself, then he gets raggy. The water goes all over Fluttershy. Fluttershy shakes the water off her, and the water goes back on Angel and Flare. Then Flare and Angel shaked again, and the water went back on Fluttershy. Then Fluttershy shaked again and the water went back on Flare and Angel.

"Alright this is really going nowhere." said Flare. Flare takes a towel and dries himself off, and Fluttershy takes another towel and dries off Angel.

"Now how about that lunch?" asked Flare. Then a few minutes later, Flare is sitting on Fluttershy's table waiting for the lunch. Fluttershy walks to the table carrying some garden salad and eggdrop soup.

"Sigh. Finally I've been waiting for you to get lunch!" cried Flare.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Flare." said Fluttershy feeling bad for herself.

"Flutters relax, I was joking. J-K LOL! You know I can joke around, remember?" said Flare. Then Flare eats some of his salad and says; "LOL remember Fluttershy?"

"Yummy, huh?" asked Fluttershy.

"Affermative! Sure hittin' the spot!" said Flare.

"So Flare, may I ask you a question?" asked Fluttershy.

"You just did." said Flare.

"What?" asked Fluttershy feeling confused.

"Your question was, 'May I ask you a question'? Remember?" said Flare.

Fluttershy laughs. "Oh Flare you're so funny! Well my question is..." said Fluttershy, but gets interupted by Flare.

"LOL remember Fluttershy?" said Flare then he laughed.

Fluttershy gave Flare a mischievious look. "You like doing that don't you?" asked Flutteshy.

"Do what?" asked Flare.

"With the LOL remember thing." said Fluttershy.

"The what?" asked Flare.

"The LOL remember thing." said Fluttershy.

"The what?" asked Flare, then he started to laugh.

Fluttershy started laughing to, and says while she's laughing; "The, HA HA HA HA HA! The LOL remember... HA HA HA HA HA... The LOL remember thing!"

Flare and Fluttershy were laughing like crazy. "The what?" teased Flare, and they couldn't stop laughing. Then Fluttershy started choking on her food.

Flare got worried. "Flutters? You kay sister?" asked Flare. Fluttershy kept choking. Then Flare stood up and started squeezing her from behind, trying to get that food that's stuck in her outta her.

Then Fluttershy smiled. "Gotcha!" she said. Then they both laughed.

"You're leaning kid! You're really learning! I didn't think you had it in you! The inner troll! I like it when somepony has a great sense of humor! I didn't think you were that type." said Flare.

"Well before you came around, I didn't have a good sense of humor. But you taught me it, and it's pretty fun!" said Fluttershy.

"Well great trolling, comes great responsibilities. Don't overdue it, kay?" asked Flare.

"Don't worry, it's, um, alright. I'm not really one to be the joker anyway. It's pretty much of a one time thing, I mean... if that's okay." asked Fluttershy.

"Of course! I know you're the gentle type, and I know you don't want to be mean. Lion face." said Flare.

"Well, I mean, it's really no big deal. I mean, um, I'm just having... you know... fun." said Fluttershy smiling giving a squee.

"Kay, now I know you're sounding like Pinkie!" teased Flare.

"So what do you want to do now?" asked Fluttershy.

"Well looks like the rain cleared up, I have to head back to the store." said Flare.

"Oh, okay. You do that." said Fluttershy.

"Hey, I really had fun with you! Why don't you come on down my place later, and I'll show you how the Flarester rules!" asked Flare.

"Alright, I'll see you then!" said Fluttershy.

Then Flare walks out of the house, and Fluttershy shuts the door. Fluttershy smiles big. "Yes! I am so in! My shyness didn't cloud me! Maybe I do have a chance after all!" she said to herself, but then frowns. "Maybe that choking joke went a bit too far. I really worried him. I'm not good at jokes. I don't like doing them, but it impresses Flare. I don't want to let him down."

Night came and Fluttershy walked to Flare's trailer. She knocked on the door. Then a camera that looks like an eyeball shows up in front of her. Then the camera talks to her in 'Hutt language'.

"Um, Flare it's me. I came... like you asked." said Fluttershy.

The camera talks to her back still in Hutt language.

"Um excuse me?" asked Fluttershy, feeling very confused.

Flare then opens the door. "Sup sister?" he said. "Please excuse that eyeball, it's from Star Wars: Episode Six, when C-3PO and R2-D2 head to Jabba the Hutt's palace, the eyeball camera comes out and talks to them in that language you hear. It's a gag."

"Oh, well, um, you wanted to see me Flare?" asked Fluttershy.

"No, when did I ask that?" asked Flare.

"At my house? You asked me to come over?" said Fluttershy.

Flare puts his hoof on his chin and starts to think. "Hmmm, nope. No ding-ding." said Flare. "But how about coming in anyway? I did ask for you right?"

Fluttershy nods and says; "Oh yes, and... wait a second." Fluttershy became confused. "Didn't you just say you didn't remember inviting me here?"

"Huh? When did I say that?" asked Flare.

"Just now." said Fluttershy.

"When?" asked Flare.

"Now." said Fluttershy.

"When?" asked Flare.

Fluttershy smiled and said; "Don't start that again."

"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" said Flare.

They both walk inside and into the lounge.

"So, what you wanna do?" asked Flare.

"I dunno, what you wanna do?" asked Fluttershy.

"Flutters, you're my guest, you pick." said Flare.

"Alright then, do you have any movies?" asked Fluttershy.

"A collection of them! What kind of movie do you want to see?" asked Flare.

"What kind of movies do you have?" asked Fluttershy.

"I have comedies, adventures, love movies, sad face movies, violant movies, Disney movies, just pick one!" said Flare.

"What's a Disney movie?" asked Fluttershy.

"Movies created by the Walt Disney company. Where I'm from, they're very popular!" said Flare. "Pick one!" Flare shows Fluttershy his collection of Disney movies.

Fluttershy looks at each movie. And looks at the Finding Nemo movie. "Oh! A movie about fish!" said Fluttershy.

"Yeah, that's Finding Nemo. It's really a good movie. Lots of drama and comedy. Want to watch that?" asked Flare.

"Okay." said Fluttershy. "What's it about?"

Flare puts the movie into his DVD player. "Check for yourself." he said. "Just take a seat, watch some of the trailers, and I'll get us some refreshments."

"Alright." said Fluttershy. Flare leaves the room to get the refreshments.

By the time he gets back with some popcorn and soda, Fluttershy just stares confused at the menu screen.

"Listen, Flare. Umm, I'm not getting this." she said. "I hear voices in the background talking the same thing, over and over again, and there's these words that say: Play Now, Scene Selection, Special Features. What are they suppose to mean? I'm sorry, but I'm not getting this movie."

"ROFL!" said Flare. "The movie didn't start yet, Flutty. That's just the main menu. Don't they have DVDs around here?"

"No." said Fluttershy.

Flare picks up the remote control with his horn. "Here, listen closey. DVDs and Blue Rays, require remote control to start the movie. Tapes just go right to the movie. Here, let's press play." Flare presses play with the remote, and the movie starts.

Flare and Fluttershy watch the movie. Throughout the movie, Fluttershy laughs, cries, and gets scared, and sometimes when she's scared and sad throughout the movie, she holds Flare. Later, the movie ended.

"Wow! That was a great movie, Flare!" said Fluttershy.

"Well, where I'm from, they have lots different movies that are fantastic!" said Flare. "Want to watch another one?"

"No thank you. I mean, if you don't mind. I want to do something else." said Fluttershy.

"Alright, we have music. Want to dance to some music?" asked Flare. "I got Usher! Great artist he is!"

"No thank you Flare, I mean if that's alright. I want to go see your fish. I mean, if that's okay with you." said Fluttershy.

"Of course! But there's no need to say 'if that's alright' or 'sorry' everytime you ask something." said Flare. "I'm sorry, but let's walk through the hall to see my fish. I'm sorry, but I left the lights on in the kitchen. I'm sorry, but you held me too tight during the movie." teased Flare.

"Okay maybe I do say sorry too much." said Fluttershy.

"You think? ROFLMAO!" said Flare.

Fluttershy and FLare walk through the hallway. "Hey Flare?" said Fluttershy.

"All ears!" said Flare.

"You know the... so called Wizards you talk about?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yeah, what about them?" asked Flare.

"Who are they?" asked Fluttershy. "I mean, if that's okay. You don't have to..."

"Fluttershy, you're doing it again. Winkey face!" said Flare.

"Oh right." said Fluttershy. "Anyway, will you tell me who they are?"

"Well... I never told anypony about them. Not even Spike." said Flare.

"Well, maybe I can be the first to know, I mean, if that's okay..." said Fluttershy, but Flare interupts.

'There you go again with the 'if that's okay'! Flutters, you have to stick up for yourself!" said Flare.

"I know, but I tried it, it didn't go so well." said Fluttershy.

"Oh, alright." said Flare. "But to get the stuff you want in the world, you just have to..."

"I know, Flare. I know." said Fluttershy. "So about those Wizards."

"Right." said Flare. "Well... I trust you. You done alot for me, so I guess you earned it. Here it goes." Flare takes a deep breath. "Well the Wizards are... you know what Flutty? I don't actually want to reveal it yet. If that's okay."

"AH HA!" cried Fluttershy. "You said it now!"

"Lion face. So I did." said Flare.

Flare and Fluttershy walked up to the fish tank and looked at the fish. They were watching them for about 10 minutes. Then they walked back to the Lounge.

"Sooooo... anything else you want to do?" asked Flare.

"I'm up for one more thing." said Fluttershy.

"Alright, have you ever done karaoke?" asked Flare.

"No, I'm too shy to sing in front of lots of ponies." said Fluttershy.

"Who said anything about lots of ponies? We can do karaoke here, and it's just you and me and the security camera over there." said Flare pointing to the security camera. "But no worries, nopony is behind it. They just record what goes on. I have one for every room, except for the bathroom, and the bedrooms. Rainbow looks after everything at night."

"Alright. I guess... um... I'm up to some karaoke." said Fluttershy.

"Praise the Wizards! What song do you want to sing?" asked Flare.

"What kind of songs did you have at your hometown?" asked Fluttershy.

"Lots and lots of songs! Jazz, rap, rock, you name it!" said Flare. "Ding ding! Light bulb!" A light bulb appears out of Flare's head. Flare takes the light bulb and replaces the burned out one on top of the pool table. "I needed to change the lightbulb." He said to her.

"Hey what about this song?" asked Fluttershy holding up the list of books the karaoke has.

"Which one? Banana phone?" he asked.

"No. That one." said Fluttershy pointing at the song she wants to hear. "How about sing me that song?"

"Don't Stop Believing by Journey?" asked Flare.

"Seems kinda overkill. It's a love song, and we're just friends." said Flare.

"Oh I know we're just friends, Flare. But sing it to me anyway!" said Flare.

"Well..." said Flare thinking.

"Pleeeeeeeeaaaaasseeee?" Fluttershy asked him with big eyes and a smile with a squee sound.

"Alright, Flutters. Alright. You're the boss! BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS BOSS!" said Flare. Flare turns on the song and while the instermental is going on in the beginning he says; "Wow, I'm getting nervous, but... I can manage. Lion face."

Then Flare starts singing the song: "Just a small town girl... living in a lonely world... she took the midnight train going aaaaanywhere!" Fluttershy smiles at Flare putting her hooves on her cheeks. "Just a city boy... born and raised in south Detriot... he took the midnight train going aaaanywhere!" The Lounge started to change into a night sky. Fluttershy started to fall and she landed on a star. Flare continued singing on the moon with Princess Luna next to him. "Some will win... some will lose... some are born to sing the blues..."

Then Flare gave Luna the microphone Flare was holding and she sang; "Oh the movie never ends, it goes on and on and on and on!"

Then Flare and Luna started singing at the same time; "Strangers... waiting..."

Then Flare sang by himself; "Up and down the boulevard."

Then they both sang at the same time again; "Their shadows... searching... in the ni-ight! Streetlight people..."

Then Luna sang by herself; "Living just to find emotion..."

Then they both sang again; "Hiding... somewhere in the niiiiiight!"

Then while the guitar solar was going on, the night sky turned into the desert. Fluttershy was riding a random brown pony running through the desert, she was holding it's neck. But then when Flare started sanging, the brown pony turned into Flare. "Don't stop... believin'... Hold on to that feelin'... streetlight people..."

Then Spike appeared in the background with a microphone singing; "WHOOOOOOOHHHHHHAAAAA!"

Then Fluttershy was sleighing down a mountain, and Flare was next to her, skiing. "Don't stop believin..." Flare continued. "Hold ooooooonnn! Streetlight people..."

Then Spike appeared skiing next to Flare singing; "WHOOOOOOOHHHHAAAAA!"

Flare continued; "Don't stop believin... hold on to that feelin..." The song started fading, along with the background. All F this time, Fluttershy was asleep on the bean bag chair, and the whole thing was a dream.

"Wow, Flutters." said Flare. "Looks I bored you. Maybe I should've put on a more upbeat song, like Mr. Worldwide! Mischievious face!"

Fluttershy continues to sleep on Flare's bean bag chair. Flare takes a blanket and puts it on her.

"Aww! What can be cutier than Fluttershy sleeping. Can give ponies that d'awwwww feeling, right?" Flare said to himself. "I bet the folks back home would be jealous of this! I have Fluttershy sleeping in my house! And you know how many times she hugged me? I've always wanted a hug from her! And now look at us, we're like besties now! As long as I have a great friend like Fluttershy here. What more could a stallion want? Besides, Half-Life: Episode Three. ROFLMAO! I have to say that Star Wars episode was pretty good. Oh wait, what are we talking about again? Oh well." Flare smiles at the sleeping Fluttershy. "Good night, Fluttershy! May the Wizards be with you. Smiley face."

Flare walks out of the room and turns off the light.
