The cool breeze provided a much needed comfort for Fluttershy. The summer sun was relentless during this time of day, but she had work to do and animals to tend to. Grasping a few sacks of feed in her mouth, she placed them carefully into her saddle bags. Small beads of sweat glistened on her forehead in the sunlight as she carefully trotted over to the chicken coop. Placing her bags down on the grass, she peered over her shoulder at the sky, squinting at the blazing sun.

It was never supposed to be this hot, however there had been a heavy downpour to help keep all the plants and orchids growing as well as keeping the dam's water level above a critical state. The rain was so heavy that a few places had almost flooded, nopony was seriously injured though. This infernally hot sun was supposed to clear up any excess water, but it seem to be doing more damage than it was worth.

Fluttershy pulled the bags over to the troughs, tipping the bags over pouring the feed until they were full. The chickens were evidently please as they rushed right over pecking away at the various grains that were given to them.

"Now now, don't eat too fast." Fluttershy smiled in her usual caring tone.

She brought the empty sacks to the trash and threw them away. Leaving the chickens alone to fill their stomachs to their hearts content, she made her way to the stream to check on the otters. The sound of water softly tricking through sounded very welcoming. Normally she'd tend to the otters later on but it was far to hot make it wait. Stepping into the water was a huge relief, like hundreds of her worries simply washed away with the water. Fluttershy sighed, unable to resist, she crouched down and sumberged her body underwater. her sadle bags were going to be wet, but she didn't really care, they would dry. She burst out of the water with a gasp, for a moment she was lost in her own little world, until she remembered the tasks ahead of her. She made her way down the stream to the otters homes.

"Hello? Are you home?" her voice echoed ever so slightly through the den.

Sure enough, two pairs of hungry, beady eyes, peered out of the darkness to greet her. Fluttershy smiled and pulled out some fish from her now soaked saddle bags. She placed the fish in front of them and gently pushed it with her nose.

"Here you go!, Hope you like it"

The otters picked the fish up almost instantly and started greedily gnawing away at their lunch. The butter yellow pegasus turned away and puller herself out of the stream. She stretched her wings out as far as possible and shook her body all over, spraying water all around her. Her wings flapped furiously as she lifted herself off the ground. She flew to the top of a nearby tree, where a birds nest lay in wait for their share of the lunch she had been casting around. The light blue birds knew exactly why she was here and knew what to expect. They began chirping loudly, as though they hadn't eaten in months.

"It's ok, you know I wouldn't forget about any of you" She attempted to comfort them, however their loud chirps didn't falter.

She reached into her bag yet again, almost losing her balance, her mouth emerged from her bags carrying a few worms. With a flick of her neck, she tossed them over to the birds waiting in their nest. Without hesitation they caught them with no trouble at all and hungrily gobbled them down. Fluttershy gave them a quaint smile as she spluttered the taste of the worms out of her mouth. Her altitude dropped as she glided her way to the ground landing with a gentle thud.

"Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy squealed at the sudden call, stumbling on her own hooves. As soon as she found her grounding, her head spun around.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you, dear"

"Oh, no it's alright, Rarity"

Fluttershy felt a light warmth fill her cheeks and the small embarrassment swept over her.

Rarity was looking her usual, fine self. Mane styled to perfection, coat freshly combed it seemed too, the only thing that seemed off was a small scratch by her left hoof.

"I was just wondering if you could possibly watch Opalescence for me while I finish up some small projects over at the Botique. It's not the urgent but it'd help me a lot if you could" Rarity gave an almost beggar worthy smile.

Fluttershy retracted her head a little out of awkwardness.

"Uh, sure Rarity, just bring her around whenever you like tomorrow, I'm free all day"

Rarity let out a sigh of relief "Thank you so much!" She carefully nuzzled her yellow friend.

"That's...uh, alright, happy to help" Fluttershy grinned "So um what happened to your hoof? If you don't mind me asking that is" She asked drooping her head a little.

"Oh, this?" Rarity said lifting her hoof up. "It was just an accident with some needles, Sweetie Belle got in the way of some sewing" She frowned with disappointment.

"I hope it's ok"

"I'm sure it'll be fine, dear, I've had much worse than this little thing before" She snickered modestly.

Rarity took a small step back. "Well, I'd better head back, I wanted to try get a start on some work before dusk, I'll see you tomorrow yes?"

"Sure!" Fluttershy sent her a warming smile.

She watched Rarity head back to the town until she was out of sight. She lowered a brow for a moment and hoped it wouldn't be this hot tomorrow.

It wasn't long before she found herself in the air again. She headed for the top of a tree in her yard, where her squirrel friends lived. She pulled a bag of assorted nuts and the like as she flew higher so she wouldn't have to fumble when she arrived. The squirrels were eagerly awaiting her with their dark eyes. Fluttershy tipped the bag and the nuts dropped onto the flooring in front of them.

"I'm so sorry for the wait" The yellow pony apologized immediately, pushing the empty bag of nuts into her saddle bags.

She started her decent to the ground, there was one last meal to be served.

Fluttershy headed back to her cottage with a slow relaxing pace, she was already feeling exhausted. Her mind wandered to a relaxing day at the spa, just laying back, enjoying the warm water flowing all over her body. It was easy to fall asleep while under that kind of treatment and Fluttershy had done it many times. It was so incredibly relaxing, especially after a hot, exasperating day like this one. Sometimes she'd even found herself impulsively giving herself some touching while there. the bubbles hid anything under the water and doing something like that so public made it even more soothing, strangely enough. She was excellent at keeping quiet, so nopony ever picked her up on it.

Her body flushed itself with a faint heat at the thought, she let out a loud sigh. She hadn't even noticed how close she was to her cottage, that is, until he bumped head first into the door.

"Ow!"

A hoof quickly found its way to her head, giving the impact point a little rub. She gently pushed the door open and called out for her special bunny companion.

"Angel?" She called

"Angel? Where are you? I have your food"

She reached back behind her and into her saddle bags for the last time and pulled out a small carrot, with the greens still attached, just the way he liked it.

"Angel?....oh well, I'll leave it on the table for you then, where ever you are, ok?"

The light clopping noises from her hooves on her wooden flooring could be heard through the near dead silence of her home as she headed for the dinner table. She leaned forwards and left the carrot on the table, her rump lowered as her saddle bags slowly slid off her back on to the ground just by the table. A grunt left her mouth as she trotted over to the couch, without hesitation she dropped herself on it, laying comfortably. The couch buckled a little under her weight with a thud. She found herself drifting off to sleep almost instantaneously.

After a few minutes, a familiar white bunny showed his face over the opposite end of the couch. His little black eyes fixated on Fluttershy's rump, or more specifically, what rested near there. He quietly pulled himself over the hoof rest and onto the soft padding of the couch. He scampered across over to the butter pony's behind and ogled at what lay between her two hind legs with great anticipation. He leaned his head a little until his little nose was almost touching and took a sniff. The smell was the same as always. A sort of light, tangy smell, with a few other elements, the most dominant smell was that of butterscotch, hidden behind that was a familiar fresh water scent, similar to that of rainfall.

Angel couldn't quite pick it but he guessed it was a faint smell of daisies as well...or some kind of nice smelling flower at least. He took that smell in for what felt like hours. His eyes beamed with determination as he thrust his nose straight into the folds.

"EEEP!"

Fluttershy squeaked loudly toppling off her spot on the couch, landing back first on the floor. Angel was tugged down with her landing on her belly.

"Angel! What are you doing!" She squealed

Angel gave her a discerning look as he pointed a paw behind him at her special place. Fluttershy blushed and averted her eyes away from her little bunny companion.

"Angel...I already helped you with that yesterday, can't you hold it off a little longer?" She pleaded

The small bunny frowned at her with frustration. A pair of yellow hooves reach over and picked him up placing him on the floor beside her. Fluttershy pulled herself upright as she ruffled her wings until they were comfortable again.

"Ok then, if you eat ALL of your food, I'll help you tomorrow" She suggested with an awkward smile.

Angel paused for a few moments and though about it, his little eyes squinted as he brought a paw to his chin. A few moments later he finally nodded his head and hopped over to the table to grab his carrot she had left him from earlier.

Fluttershy didn't really mind helping Angel with this kind of thing, sometimes it could even be enjoyable, but he was 'in the mood' way too often. She took a deep breath and sat herself back down on the couch, watching Angel choke down the carrot furiously knowing what his prize was.

He'd gotten so accustomed to it by now, it was crazy.

About 6 months ago, during winter a few of the animals homes had been destroyed by a recent blizzard. Fluttershy had let them stay in the cottage while she helped get them ready for living, it took a few days work but it was too hard. A few of the animals taking refuge in her cottage were bunnies, among some ducks and a few birds. Fluttershy woke up one morning only to come down stairs to Angel on top of one of the female bunnies in the house. Her eyes widened with surprise, she knew Angel was a boy and that there we girl bunnies in the house with him, but she hadn't expected this. Angel hopped off the bunny and glared at another. The girls were clearly not in the mood and didn't want Angels 'loving' so to speak.

"Angel Bunny!" Fluttershy growled as she stepped down towards the group of animals.

"You know better than to force this kind of thing! I am very disappointed in you!"

Angel looked away in shame.

"I'm so sorry about this girls, he's not usually like this" She apologized to the female bunnies huddled in the corner.

Fluttershy grabbed Angel and swiftly brought him upstairs. She placed him on the floor and gave him a stern yet worried look.

"What was all that about Angel? You know can't force them like that, it's not nice"

Angel shrugged and hopped away, it wasn't long until he was at it again, humping whatever he could grab. Fluttershy just looked at him with a mixed feeling of pity with the tiniest bit of lust.

"Tell you what Angel" She said

She picked Angel up off the lamp he was pounding and brought him to her bed. Angel stared at her as she lay herself down on her belly and offered him one of her front hooves.

"I know it' probably not as good as those little girl bunnies downstairs but I'm sure it's a lot better than a lamp" She chuckled

Angel didn't waste any time as he jumped straight onto it and pumped his little hips in a frenzied lust. Fluttershy cocked he head back and gave a little squeak. It definitely felt strange but she had to help her little friend, she sat by, idly watching him rock back and forwards on her hoof. A few minutes later, she felt something wet coat the front of her hoof, just as Angel fell back his bunnyhood proudly erect in the air.

"Oh.....my" was all the pink maned pegasus could muster as she stared at the little bunny.

She hopped up and headed to the bathroom to wash her hoof.

"Was that better Angel?" She called

Angel nodded in exhaustion.

It didn't take too long for Angel to get bored of using her hoof. Fluttershy offered both hooves, then her mouth then finally to the point where she even offered her own love spot, all in good will of course. Angel was a friend, although, it wasn't long before she started helping other friends with similar issues.
