Hi, Sorry it took so long been busy. This chapter is based on The Odyssey (Greek Mythology Duh) Penelope's point of view anyway

That same day Fluttershy was gazing out her castle window watching all her suitors in the courtyard shouting her name asking for her hand in marriage. She always hated it, she knew they only wanted control of her kingdom, beauty and her riches. They always tell her about themselves and never took the chance to know her. They buy her gifts (which she never likes) and complement her on her beauty in hopes of sweeping her off her feet. She however she saw through their lies to attempt to get her hand in marriage.

"Fluttershy!" they yelled "Make as happy and tell us the wedding date and groom!"

Fluttershy just sighed and ignored them and left the window just then her 5 best friends burst through the door one by one.

"Howdy Fluttershy" greeted Applejack

"Hey Flutters!" said Rainbow Dash

"Good afternoon Fluttershy" greeted Pinkie

"Yes good afternoon Fluttershy" Said Rarity

"Yes good afternoon Fluttershy greeted Twilight Sparkle

"Good afternoon girls" Fluttershy welcomed

They all sat down near the window talking and laughing to each other's jokes.

"So Fluttershy…" began Rarity.

She did not need to continue for Fluttershy knew what she was going to say.

"Have you decided on a groom yet? No. I haven't" she replied

"But why?" asked Rainbow Dash

"Yeah Fluttershy, you must choose a groom at some point otherwise Celestia and Blazer would be disappointed and they will choose a bride for you, and it might be someone you won't like" Twilight agreed

"Yes Rainbow and Twilight I know, the reason I haven't chosen anyone is because they don't really love me they only want my kingdom and riches and they only like me of my beauty nothing else, and I don't want to disappoint mother or father either." Explained Fluttershy

"Well I for one think you should marry that Big Mac fellow" Rarity putted in

At that moment all the ponies started saying who they want Fluttershy to marry and every time Fluttershy found a reason why she shouldn't.

"OK EVERYPONY QUIET!" Applejack yelled

Then there was silence in the room.

"Look Fluttershy, it doesn't matter who you married as long as its true love. You don't need to rush this" Applejack said

"Thank you Applejack" she whispered Fluttershy

"Yeah sorry for pressuring you Flutters" apologized Rainbow Dash the others nodded in agreement

"Wow time passes fast when your busy having fun!" Pinkie pointed out

"She's right it's already evening and we should have dinner" agreed Fluttershy

Then they went to dinner with all Fluttershy's suitors and her mother and father after dinner the 6 went back to Fluttershy's room and talked and laughed some more until Fluttershy's mother came in.

"May I talk to my daughter alone?" Celestia asked

"Of course mother" she replied before turning to the girls "girls I want you to go to your room and rest up for the gala tomorrow"

The 5 nodded and left the room.

"What is it that you needed mother?" Fluttershy asked

"It's about your suitors have you chosen one yet?" she replied

"No, not yet mother it I still haven't found the right one yet" she responded quietly

"Well you have to choose eventually they are all charming young stallions and want your hand in marriage" she said sternly

"But.." Fluttershy started to say

"No buts you have to choose if you don't have one by the end of the gala soon I will choose one for you do you understand?" she said

"Yes mother" she said sadly

"Good, now go get some rest you need you strength for the gala tomorrow. Goodnight my dear" she said gently

"Goodnight mother" replied Fluttershy

Then Celestia closed the door and Fluttershy slept peacefully looking forward to the gala tomorrow
