twow443's Labtastic Riffs
Chapter 2: Flutters in the Moonlight
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHello again. Twow443 here with another riff for you! This time it’s an interesting piece with the name Flutters in the Moonlight. This little gem is supposed to be a Fluttershy X Luna shipping, but it’s rushed as all hell and rather confusing.
Seeing as how I suck at intros, let’s just jump right in! I present to you, Flutters in the Moonlight.
twow443: So, I need to tighten this last bolt...
Fluttershy: Hello...
twow: (jumps) YIKES! Oh, sorry Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: It’s okay, it was my fault.
twow: No, it wasn’t. I end up getting rather caught up in my work.
Fluttershy: I like what you’ve done with Derpy’s basement. Um, what did you do?
twow: I turned it into a lab. I’ve always liked experimenting with things.
Fluttershy: It’s really nice...
twow: Yeah...wait, how did you know I was in Equestria? Derpy hasn’t been here and Dinky’s with her friends. Don’t even ASK where the Doctor is.
Fluttershy: Oh, well, Pinkie said you would be here.
twow: Hmm. Usually, I’d say that she tricked you into riffing. But there’s only two of us...
Luna: (materializes into lab) GREETINGS!
twow: (jumps) For the love of...Oh. Hello, Princess.
Luna: Greetings, young human. And to thee as well, Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: (behind chair) Hello.
twow: Not that isn’t good to see you Princess, but why are you here?
Luna: Thy friend Pinkie Pie directed me here to speak with her.
twow: Welp, we’re fucked.
(The lab doors slam shut and lock)
Pinkie: (from TV) Hello Princess Luna! You too, Fluttershy and T!
twow: Pinkie, the last time I riffed with Fluttershy, she attempted to hurt herself. Can’t you cut her a break?
Dash: (from TV) Don’t worry. We aren’t giving you anything like THAT.
Fluttershy: If you don’t mind me asking, what are we reading today?
Pinkie: (from TV) It’s a rushed little romantic one-shot starring you and Luna!
Luna: This interests me.
Fluttershy: This frightens me.
twow: I have a bad feeling about this...
*BUZZ*
All: We’ve got story sign!
Flutters in the Moon Light Chapter 1
twow: This sentence looks wrong.
Fluttershy: Isn’t moonlight one word?
As Fluttershy walked towards the Royal Palace Library, she began to ponder as to why her little bunny friend, Angel, (hell of a name for a bunny that causes so much trouble) could be so mean and demanding of her.
twow: Because you’ve never given him a spanking.
Fluttershy: What?! I could never!
twow: I’m telling you, if you paddle him, he’ll behave.
The mischevious little bunny had now demanded that she prepared a very special meal for him that had a very VERY specific recipe that could only be found in the shelves of the Canterlot Royal Library.
twow: Luna, do you really have recipes that are ONLY in your library?
Luna: We might have saved a few recipes over the years...
It wouldn't have been so hard, except for all of the paperwork it took to even be able to SEE the library, it was hard enough to get into it.
twow: Please. Twilight, Spike and Pinkie just WALKED in to find a spell so she could go back in time.
Luna: My sister also did not care. The library is open to everypony.
Fluttershy tried to conceal her anger towards her tiny friend, as she continued towards Canterlot gardens and into the castle.
twow: I KNOW that you’ve been upset with him Fluttershy. At least once.
Fluttershy: Well, maybe a few times.
Luna: Anger is a natural emotion, young Fluttershy. Don’t be afraid to embrace it.
Fluttershy went to the Cooking/Cuisine section of the amazingly large library. FlutterShy wasn't really big on books, but she always made sure to read up on any new animals discovered or ailments to help them.
Fluttershy: Um, that’s not how you spell my name.
twow: HOW did he mess that up?!
She hadn't a clue what Angels requested meal consisted of,
twow: She better not blink.
thus why she was here in the first place, making the scroll all the more difficult to locate. FlutterShy turned the corner, but she found herslef on the floor two seconds later.
twow: (twitch)
Luna: Is this how humans spell the word “herself?”
twow: NO!
She looked up towards the objetc she hit and began rambling apologies to the currently unkown pony.
twow: The hell happened to his spelling?
Fluttershy: Maybe he got tired?
Luna: At that point, he should have saved writing for another time.
"Im so sorry. I will try and be more careful. Im so sorry..." Then she realized who this pony was. The way her dark mane flickered as she moved becuase of the tiny star like dots in it. This mare, was Princess Luna.
Luna: Was the rest of my body not enough for her to understand who I was?
FlutterShy suddenly made a high pitched squealing sound, which to most sounded like fear.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK" and Luna was startled and angry because this happend daily.
twow: Daily?
Fluttershy: I don’t see the princess on a daily basis.
twow: Even then, I doubt she’d be pissed because you bumped into her.
Luna: I would not. I also would not be awake during the day. Usually.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE CHILD? STOP SCREAMING! I AM YOUR PRINCESS!" she then looked meekly at the ground, she didn't like speaking in Canterlock.
twow and Fluttershy: (facepalm/hoof)
Luna: It’s called the Royal Canterlot voice. What is this Canterlock?
twow: Capital letters.
Then FlutterShy saw Luna's self help books she had picked up. She realized that instead of being terrified of her princess, maybe she could help her, to stop other ponies like her from being scared of the dark mare.
twow: Um, this was AFTER Nightmare Night. Luna doesn’t need any help!
Luna: You are correct. I still have trouble interacting with my subjects from time to time, but I do NOT need self-help books.
I mean she was only trapped inside the moon for 1000 years right?
twow: It was actually 1001 years.
Luna: The 500th year was the worst...
Fluttershy: How so?
Luna: Solar eclipse.
twow and Fluttershy: Ohhhh
"Im....so sorry... forgive me princess.... please forgive me..." She became really quiet, and just mumbled something about helping her.
Fluttershy: I probably would do that.
twow: Not if Luna wasn’t OOC as all hell.
"What was that? You are willing to help ME? THE MOST FEARED PRINCESS OF ALL? WHY WOULD THY DO SUCH A THING?"
Luna: This author does not understand me at all! I would not be so rude to any of my subjects! Especially if they were willing to help me with a problem!
twow: What is it with this guy and wanting you to act like a bitch?!
"I...I just wanna be able to help anypony that asks.." she stated meekly. "I can help with keeping your voice at a low volume, Ive practiced a lot as you can tell."
Luna: That is true Fluttershy. You usually do speak rather softly.
Fluttershy: Thanks...
Luna: Ah ha! Just like that!
twow: Shoulda been there when we were riffing Momma Fluttershy. Couldn’t form words.
"Fine child....im sorry as well, it was tradition back in the old days to speak in Canterlock... I will gladly accpet your help."
Luna: IT IS NOT CALLED CANTERLOCK.
twow: The fuck does “accpet” mean?!
The ponies then rejoiced with an awkward hug and agreed on a meeting time in the near future, which would be a very HARD process of getting Luna to speak normalluy, after 1000 years right?
Fluttershy: Um, the princess does know how to speak normally.
twow: According to the story, you spelled that wrong.
Fluttershy: I don’t think I can accpet that.
Luna: This story is stripping your ability to speak normalluy away!
twow: Celestia’s gonna kill me if YOU can’t speak either, Luna!
3 WEEKS LATER
twow: THREE WEEKS?!
Fluttershy: What happened during that time?!
Luna: Did we sit down and just look at each other?
"Ok, so today we are going to start with your tone." FlutterShy stated. They had now been meeting for several weeks now, slowly getting to know each others strengths and weaknesses so as not to hurt one another accidentely.
twow: Might I remind you that this all took place on Nightmare Night. As in, ONE NIGHT!
Luna: Actually, it only took about two hours.
They worked on what FlutterShy considered to be a lot, and they continued to work on it weekly, but in secret, to not make any pony suspicous of their lessons. "What do you think is the problem with your tone?"
Luna: “I’ve been gone for one thousand years. What do you THINK is the problem?”
Fluttershy: “Maybe you just aren’t assertive enough.”
"I....." then she burst into tears and started cyring on FlutterShy's shoulder.
All: Uhhhhh...
This hasn't happened at all during their last couple of sessions. Luna began complaining about her sister and her banishment to the moon, which was one of the hugest problems with Luna, one of the main causes of her "disability to interact with other ponies" as the doctors put it.
twow: Luna, how much does that truly bother you?
Luna: Tia and I have discussed in length about it. It truly isn’t an issue anymore. Just a sad reminder for me.
FlutterShy had begun to comfort her, and this normally wasn't her job, normally she was the one that needed comforting from her best friend, Rainbow Dash. This was mainly new to her.
Fluttershy: That’s not true! I’ve always gone out to help my friends feel better if they’re upset!
twow: According to this, you are a goddamn DOORMAT.
"Its alright, Im here to help with your problems, not make them worse. Please don't cry." Then Luna leaned up, and slowly kissed FlutterShy right on the lips.
All: WHAT?!
twow: Author, do you KNOW what pacing is?!
This completely blew FlutterShy's mind, because just recently before she got together with Luna, she was thinking that she might start trying mares next, because she had been turned down and heartbroken by way too many guys before.
Fluttershy: Well, I haven’t really tried dating before.
Instead of slowly rejecting this new found love, she embraced it as he closed her eyes to enjoy the entire kiss which seemed to last an eternity.
twow: Luna’s getting ALL the bitches! (slapped by Luna)
Luna: Watch your tone when you speak about me.
Fluttershy: Why did the author turn me into a stallion?!
twow: I think the author meant Luna.
Luna: Neither of us should have our gender changed!
Then they heard hoof steps coming to the door and quickly both sat up at the same time but not before Pinkie Pie came in and saw them.
Fluttershy: That would be embarrassing.
twow: Not as much as explaining how it took place.
"oH MY GOD.." Pinkie Pie said as she slowly entered the room. Both Luna and FlutterShy had huge looks of embarrassment on their faces, and they felt really weird.
twow: Yeaaaaaah, no.
Fluttershy: Pinkie wouldn’t say that.
twow: EVER.
"Look, Pinkie Pie..." FlutterShy started but she didnt get to finsih before Pinkie started bouncing around the room filled with joy!
Luna: She DOES get excited easily, doesn’t she?
Fluttershy: Usually.
twow: Yeah.
"YIPPPPPPPPPIE! Now i feel so excited! Aren't you guys really excited? Cuz im really excited. This calls for a party! We need to have a party so you guys and me and Dashie can tell everyone!"
twow: Normally, wouldn’t she ask for PERMISSION before she spreads it around that you locked lips with the moon princess?
Fluttershy: Pinkie does care about our feelings. She would ask first.
"What do you mean you and Dashie?"
Luna: “I meant me and Dashie.”
twow: That was rather easy.
"Oh, thats right you don't know yet! ME AND DASHIE HAVE BEEN DATING!" And that's when FlutterShy awoke from her dream.
twow: Pacing at its worst.
Fluttershy: Why does everyone assume that Pinkie Pie and Rainbow are dating?
twow: The same way that they assume that Twilight has a relationship with one of the princesses.
Luna: WHAT.
FlutterShy awoke, startled and worried. "Where is she? Where did she go? Can i follow her? I need her right now! I need to be with her!" and her thoughts went on.
twow: It was a DREAM?! WHYYYYYYYYYYY
Luna: What is so wrong with that?
twow: That is one of the WORST plot devices ever! It’s SO overused!
She then looked next to her in her bed and then slowly calmed down. It was nothing but a nightmare.
Luna: So me falling in love with you would be a nightmare?
Fluttershy: Oh, no!
twow: So you WANT to fall in love with Luna?
Fluttershy: (blushing) Well, I...
She leaned in and kissed her partner, her wonderful cylan colored mare that was her love.
Luna: Is cylan a color in your world, twow?
twow: Never saw that one in my crayon box.
She then decided to get back under the covers with her beloved Rainbow Dash, saying to herself that her dream was nothing more than a Flutter in the Moonlight.
Fluttershy: (blushing) WHAT?
twow: Right. That’s a popular ship also.
*Please leave all thoughts in the cooments below*
twow: Oh WE WILL.
Fluttershy: Can we go now?
Luna: Yes. I believe that we are finished here.
Pinkie: (from TV) Well, what did you think?
Fluttershy: It, was a very short story.
Luna: Indeed. I noticed several parts where details would have been very welcome.
twow: Not to mention that it made you out to be a bitch, and then VERY clumsily shipped you two. AND THEN made it a damn dream!
Fluttershy: And, it said that I was in love with Rainbow...
twow: Right. That idea came out of NOWHERE and botched up the ending.
Luna: I wish that the author had used more details on his scenes. It would have greatly impacted the story in a positive light.
twow: I could get behind this idea. In fact, I’ve read a great story where Twilight falls in love with Celestia and Fluttershy falls in love with you.
Fluttershy: Really?
twow: Oh yeah. It takes the time to expand on the emotions that everypony has and draws it out to the point for when you actually confess, it isn’t rushed. Damn good story.
Luna: I do not need to be back at the castle for a while. I would like to read this.
twow: Sure! How about you, Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: Um, well, sure. I’m sure that it’s really good.
twow: That’s the spirit!
Pinkie: (from TV) You all have fun! I need to go get some more pranks ready for you twow!
twow: Joy...
(Pinkie hits the button and the TV turns off with a blip.)
