I yawned, sitting up from bed. I noticed Fluttershy wasn't next to me. I also smelled bacon... I got up and walked downstairs, adjusting to the light as I made my way to the kitchen.

"Morning!" She said as she flipped the eggs currently sizzling in one pan, and bacon in another.

"I didn't think you ate meat." I said scratching my head.

"I don't.. But I know you do." She said, humming as she flew around the room grabbing a variety of tools. I sat down, rubbing my eyes as a plate was slid across to me. Damn it smelled good.. Better than mine at least.

"I hope you like it!" She said as she hovered over to the fridge, pouring a glass of orange juice for both of us.

"Don't forget you said you would show me your work." She said into my ear. I choked, coughing as I swallowed a drink of orange juice.

"What??" I asked confused.

"You remember last night... Don't think I forgot." She said, gracefully swaying back to the stove.

"Oh.." I sighed with a dull look falling on my face, my shoulders slumping down. I took a bite of food as I recalled everything that happened yesterday. What am I going to do about Nicholas.. He's intelligent, conniving, and resourceful.. If we wants something, he usually knows how to get it. He doesn't want to kill me or Fluttershy... If he wanted to kill Rainbow Dash, she wouldn't be alive, I know that for sure.. What does he want? No no.. He wouldn't just end it quick, that wouldn't be any fun for him. I know my brother..

"So where do we start?" Fluttershy said, already finishing her food.

"What?" I said quickly, shooting back to reality.

"What are you going to show me first?" She asked, waiting anxiously.

"Oh um... Well... You haven't even finished your juice!" I said hesitantly. She gave me a blank look, glancing down at her orange juice. She picked it up, staring at me the entire time with a stern look. She chugged the full glass down. My eyes widened as she downed the tall glass.

"Done." She said, slamming it on the table. "Any more excuses?"

I groaned, putting my fork down. "Fine." I said, getting up and heading to the basement. "You coming?" I said as she followed quickly behind me.

-----------------------------------------

"So where are we going?" I asked as Cecil led me down the steps.

"You wanted to see my work? You'll see my work." He said as we walked across the basement. He looked at the bookshelf, skimming across it for a certain book. He reached up and pulled one out slightly, causing the whole bookcase to rotate.

"You have a secret room?" I asked in awe as I entered the dark dusty hall.

"Mmhm.." He mumbled as we reached the end. He opened the door to a large room full of mechanical devices and contraptions.

"Wow.. You built all of these?" I asked, gazing around the room.

"Yeah.. It's junk though.." He said.

"Don't say that. This is amazing!" I said, hovering around a broken down robotic hummingbird. He smiled, looking away as he looked at all the equipment.

"Man.. It's been a long time since I've been down here." He said.

"Why did you ever stop?" I asked.

"Well after the curse was put on me and... No one wanted anything to do with me. I had no reason to. I had no purpose.." He said.

"Well that just isn't acceptable." I said, grabbing him and pulling him a large table.

"Wha.." He said as I pushed him into it.

"Build." I said, handing him a wrench.

"Fluttershy.. I can't just.." He stammered.

"Come on. I know you used to have a spark." I said, wrapping my arms around him into a hug. I could feel his face flush as his cheek pressed against my neck. "And I know there's a fire waiting to be let out." I said, leaning back and kissing him. There was a long paused after I pulled away. He glanced down at the wrench, gripping it tighter.

"Hand me that toolbox." He said, a smile enveloping my face.

-----------------------------------------------------
ONE HOUR LATER:

"Almost done.." He said as I heard gears grinding. I waited patiently, observing the many machines spinning and whirling as he worked.

"Done." He said, lighting up as he handed me something. I looked at it.. It was the robotic hummingbird from earlier.

"Wow.." I said as I looked it up and down. "It doesn't seem to be... Any different?"

"Not yet." He said as he reached for a remote. He pressed a button and the bird shot to life, hovering in front of me.

"It's beautiful!" I said as it looked me up and down, circling me.

"It's... Just a simple contraption." He said with a weak smile, scratching his head. I flew up, following the bird around the room. We flew upstairs and outside. I watched it fly off into to the edge of the forest, a small group of other birds gathering around it. They all flew off into the forest. I smiled as I waved it goodbye.

--------------------------------------
THE NEXT MORNING:

I yawned, seeing Cecil wasn't next to me. I jumped up and walked out. Something was odd. Everything seemed a bit... Clean? At least, cleaner than I was able to make it. As I made my way downstairs to the living room, I heard the sounds of gears clicking and moving. I opened the door and..

"What..?" I said with wide eyes as I saw robotic things scurrying and flying around. Some were cleaning, some were cooking food. Others straightening pictures and such. I started making my way to the basement when I realized..

"My broach.. I forgot it upsta-" I was interrupted by a robotic hand attached to a gyrating set of helicopter blades. In it's hand was the broach, it floated there, handing it to me.

"Oh! Thank you." I said. It gave a thumbs up, flying off to join the other machines. I walked downstairs to see the entire secret room brimming with life as Cecil worked on something across the room.

"Cecil?" I called to him. He looked back quickly, covering what he was doing.

"You aren't suppose to see this, go back upstairs! It's a surprise." He said in an excited tone. I shrugged, walking back upstairs and sitting down. The floating hand from earlier came by, setting a plate of food down.

"Thank you very much." I said happily as it shot me another thumbs up. I started eating, looking at the room buzz with life. There was a knock on the door. I got up and moved to answer it.

"Hello?" I said, opening the door. "Oh! Hello!"

"Hey Fluttersh- Shy..?" Twilight and the others said as they saw the horde of machines moving across the room.

"What the hay is going on in here?" Applejack said as the hand flew over, taking her hat and placing it on the hat rack.

"I see he's really.. Changed up the place." Twilight said as a small robotic raven landed on the hat rack, a large camera on it's head scanning them before flying off.

"Wowie this place is NEAT!" Pinkie shouted, running into the room and looking at all the machines.

"This is quite... Interesting." Rarity said as two floating hands came by and took her coat, "Why thank you dearies." She said with a smile as they hung it up.

"Cool!" Spike said, climbing into a small bot with treads. I watched as it drove him around the room.

"Great.. You made Spike even lazier." Twilight said as we all laughed. They all walked in and headed to one of the couches. I started to close the door, when It was stopped by a foot.

"Don't forget about me dear." I heard someone say from outside. I opened the door and Nicholas walked in, nearly pushing me over. I caught myself with my wings, flying back as I stared at him.

"I like what he has done with the place." Nicholas said, looking at all the machines floating and running around.

"What do you want?" I asked angrily.

"My my! Watch that anger, it doesn't suit you at all.." He laughed.

"Fluttershy? What's the matter?" Applejack asked, surprised by my tone.

"HE.." I started,

"I wouldn't.." He whispered, "It would be a real shame if anything were to happen to Twilight.. Or better yet, Rainbow Dash... "

"You.. You wouldn't." I whispered in surprise.

"Wouldn't I?.She's already holding on by a thread. It wouldn't take much to.." He said, snapping his fingers, "Snap.. It." Fear filled me as I remembered Rainbow Dash, seeing her in the hospital. She was in poor condition..

"I just... remembered.." I said, "I uh.. left the kettle on!"

"Uh.. Fluttershy?" Twilight said, pointing behind me. I turned my head to see one of the hands floating there holding a tea kettle.

"Thank you...Very....Much." I said, staring at it menacingly.

"Tea sounds lovely!" Rarity said as a turtle like robot rolled by, a tray with cups sitting on its back. She took one and the hand poured tea into the cup.

"I'd love a cup." Nicholas said, sitting down next to Twilight as she rested her head on his shoulder, her arms around him. He picked up a cup and waited for the hand to pour it. The kettle floating next to him began pouring. But it didn't stop, the cup overflowed and spilled all over him.

"DAMN IT!" He yelled, dropping the cup as the boiling liquid spilled on his hand and lap. The cup smashed on the floor. He looked up at the kettle as two hands flew over and made a shrugging gesture. He took a breath in, moving towards the back room.

"I'm going to wash up.." He said calmly, closing the bathroom door behind him. All I could do was giggle as one of the hands flew next to me, high fiving me. All the ones shaped like hands were wearing white gloves, it looked nice.. All I could do was giggle at the event that just occurred.

"Oh! We have company!" Cecil said, appearing in the doorway.

"Hello again." Twilight said, greeting him.

"Nice to see you again Twilight, Pinkie.. Where's pinkie?" He asked, looking around the room. There was a loud crash, followed by a Pinkie flying down the staircase with a jetpack on.

"THIS THING IS AWESOME!" She yelled, screaming past me into the basement.

"Wait it's not ready to be tested!" Cecil yelled, chasing after her. A moment later Pinkie came sailing out of the basement, Cecil holding onto her. We watched as they flew through the air.

"PRESS THE RED BUTTON." Cecil shouted. Pinkie pressed it and the pack shut off. They both went tumbling down and were stopped by a purple aura, holding them up. I looked over to see Twilight slowly dropping them to the ground. There was a slow clap as they landed. Our eyes turned to the bathroom, and Nicholas was standing there.

"Bravo." He said, walking towards us.

"Nicholas.." Cecil said, "What are you doing here?"

"I just came with Twilight and her friends. They wanted to visit! Twilight thought it would be delightful if I came along." Nicholas said. "But as fun as it's been, I really must be going."

"Are you sure?" Twilight asked with a disappointed sigh.

"Sorry. But I have things to attend to. I look forward to seeing you again Cecil." He said, making eye contact with his brother.

"The feeling is mutual.." Cecil replied. Nicholas walked out, closing the front door behind him.

"Wasn't there something you wanted to show me?" I asked after a long pause.

"Oh right! Stay right here." Cecil said, rushing down into the basement. We waited, talking for awhile. We finally heard him coming as he blasted through the doorway with a large box.

"We had better step outside for this one." He said. We all stood up and walked outside as he placed the box in the center of the living room.

"Why are you putting it inside?" Twilight asked.

"You'll see." He said joining us. We all stared at the box from outside the front door as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a button. He flipped the top and pressed it. The box opened and a swarm of mechanical butterflies flew out and towards us.

"Um.." Twilight said, backing up slightly.

"Just wait.." He said, smiling with anticipation. As soon as the butterflies reached us, they began to ascend, glitter dropping from their wings. Time seemed to slow as I watched with astonishment at their beauty. They elegantly traveled past us. A few landed on me, forcing me to smile as I brought one close to my face, looking at the patterns on it. I looked down, placing a hand on the broach which was pinned to my chest. A tear slid down my face as I closed my eyes. I felt two hands grip mine as my eyes opened, meeting Cecil's.

"I did all of this for you.." He said.

"It's beautiful.." I said. Moving closer to his lips. The sun glistened and shined off the glitter raining on us. His eyes mixing perfectly with the light's splendor. I closed my eyes as I felt him press against me. Everything seemed to melt away in this perfect moment. My arms holding him to me like a life preserver in the middle of the ocean. When we finally parted, the butterflies were gone. I turned around to see them flying away in the distance, still shimmering in the morning light. I looked over to the others, who were staring at us. Rarity and Twilight were hugging, tears welling up in their eyes as they smiled at us. Applejack stood to the side.

"Yee haw!" She shouted.

"You sure are a great kisser Fluttershy!" Pinkie said, appearing next to us. I stared back at here, raising an eyebrow.

"Well.. We'll leave you two alone. Come on girls, we have some things to do." Twilight said, motioning down the road. They left, moving down the road to Ponyville.

"Wait for me!" Spike shouted as he rode the small robot out and towards them. I shook my head, giggling with Cecil. I walked in as Cecil went to toy with some of his robots. I walked down the basement, looking around as I approached his desk. I looked at some blueprints scattered around the table, and noticed something glimmering from one of the drawers. I pulled it open and stumbled back, gasping. I stared into the drawer in utter shock at what I saw. I reached in, and pulled out a revolver, staring at it intently. I opened the chamber... There was a single bullet in it.

"You weren't supposed to see that.." Cecil said. I jumped, spinning around to face him.

"Why do you have a gun?!" I asked extremely confused.

"I've had that thing for a long time. You see.. My brother... Gave it to me after he cursed me. He said I'd use it eventually, you can guess what for.." He said saddened. I gazed down at the gun, my heart gripped by sadness.

"That's... Horrible." I said. Cecil approached me, taking the gun from me and putting it back in the drawer.

"But It seems that he was wrong. I suppose he didn't expect you." He said with a smile. My heart being relieved as I stared up at him.

"Come on, there's one more thing I want to show you." Cecil said as he grabbed my hands, leading me. He led me upstairs, higher than I have ever been in the tower. We reached the top, now standing outside on the summit.

"What's that?" I said, pointing to a large metal rod that stood tall, a glass tube coiling around it.

"That.. Is a lightning rod." He said as the moved to a table full of levers, switches, and buttons. I looked up at the clouds. Everything was pretty calm, no storm clouds or anything.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he fiddled with the controls.

"Science." He said, pulling a pair of goggles out and putting them on, a smile on his face.

"Um.. There's no storm, how do you plan on getting lightning to strike it?" I asked.

"Who said anything about that?" He said as a loud buzzing was heard.

"What are.. You doing?" I asked, growing nervous.

"SCIENCE!" He yelled, pulling a lever. Electricity began to flow up the glass tubes, arcing in between it and the rod. Once it reached the top, it collected into a ball. Once it got large enough, he pulled another switch. A constant stream of lightning shot from the ball into the sky. As soon as it hit passed through the clouds, a loud thundering sound was heard. The clouds parted as if a bomb just went off, fading away into the distance. I gazed over to Cecil, who had a large smile on his face. Every so often I would see the light from the stream of electricity flicker. The occasional flash turning Cecil's face to its skeletal counter part only for a split second. I leaned back, my eyes open wide in surprise, backing away slowly. He pulled the switch again, causing to steam to cease. Everything calmed down, silence growing.

"Well?" Cecil said.

"What.. Did it do?" I asked, looking around. "Nothing seems to have changed."

"Not nothing." He said, pointing up. My jaw dropped open as I saw the sky. The clouds had been cleared completely, and replaced with an aurora. Colors streamed across the sky, dancing in patterns of pure magnificence. I was speechless.. All I could do was marvel at the display he had put on for me... For me...

"I have one last trick up my sleeve. Or rather.. My pocket." He said. I looked down, he was on one knee, a small box in his hand. My hands shot up to my mouth, tears building up under my eyes.

"Fluttershy.. Since you came into my life, I have been a new man. You brought life to lifelessness. You gave me hope, and a reason to live again." He said, never breaking eye contact. "If you hadn't come then... Well... That gun might not have a bullet in the chamber."

I stared at him, my hands covering my mouth as tears steamed down my face uncontrollably. My heart was pounding.

"You don't have to say yes but.. I don't know what my life would be like without you. Just like the robots downstairs, I would fall apart. You're the bolts that keep me together. Without you, I'd rust away." He continued, "So believe me when I say that I love you. Will you marry me?"

He opened the box, the ring sparkling from the sun reflecting off its many facets. I nodded my head violently, unable to speak as he placed the ring on my finger. He stood up.. I stared at him, his face brimming with beauty as the aurora streamed through the sky behind him. The butterflies from earlier flying over us, showering the area in their sparkling glitter. He placed a hand on my cheek, his warm touch sending electricity through me. Our faces were pulled closer as the gravity of our love took hold. I felt a flame ignite as our lips met. The last trace of reality fading as I was pulled into what felt like a dream. He was the first to pull away, a small strand of saliva connecting us as I stared into his eyes in a love driven haze. I pushed him back, hearing a grunt as he landed on his ass.

"Oof!" He blurted, "What are..?"

I slid my shirt off slowly, staring down at him with a lusty grin.

"Oh.." He said, mesmerized by my sway as I walked towards him. I pulled his pants off, along with mine, pushing him down on his back as I crawled on top of him. I felt him already growing hard, poking against me through his underwear. I felt his heavy breath on my skin as we gazed into each other's eyes, a lust building inside us. I turned around, pressing my ass against his face as I pulled his underwear off, seeing his member come to fruition. I gasped as I felt his tongue slide under my underwear, digging itself into my velvety pussy. Instinctively I took his full length into my mouth, my own tongue circling it as I bobbed my head up and down. I could hear him breathing heavy, his breath on my cunt driving me insane. My hands ventured down to his sack, kneading it playfully. He grunted, his shaft beginning to pulsate. I wanted it... I wanted it all. I needed to taste him, right now..

"Fluttershy I.." He tried to say before I felt him cum, his seed covering my taste buds as it's large volume bubbled and seeped from my mouth. I swallowed as much as I could, letting the taste sink in. I stood up, pulling my underwear off completely as I sat on him, his cock sliding between my ass cheeks. I could feel his semen oozing down my backside as it rested there. We stared at each other, panting with a thirst that only the other could quench. I felt him hardening again. I moved my hips up and down, teasing him as I waited for him to grow fully erect. I could hear him moan with pleasure as his hard-on glided between my cheeks, already lubed by the constant pre-cum leaking from the tip. I lifted myself up, pressing the tip against my aching pussy. The tip sending spikes of pleasure through me as I rubbed it back and forth. He places his hands on my hips, clenching my bare bottom as he stared up at me. He pulled me down onto his dick. I moaned loudly as it pushed through, pressing against my cervix. We both panted as I slowly gyrated my hips. I was surprised as he quickly sat up, placing one of my nipples in his mouth, gently suckling on it as he fondled my other breast. I wrapped my arms around his head, holding him there as he began to move his hips in rhythm with mine. Pleasure rocked my body as a bottled up orgasm found its way out. My pussy spasmed around his cock as I dug my nails into his back. He grunted slightly, feeling the pain as blood trickled down his back. An animalistic urge growing in both of us as his thrusts sped up. He moved forward, gently sprawling me down as his arms pushed my legs back far, my knees nearly behind my head. He continued to fuck me, his poundings growing in force as another orgasm crashed through me. His arms fell down to my hips, freeing my legs. My legs wrapped around his hips as I felt his member grow slightly, twitching inside me.

"I'm cumming.." He said.

"I want it all... I need it." I said as I wrapped my legs around his hips, pulling him in with one final thrust, holding him in place as both our orgasm's surfaced. After a long pause I pulled him down, resting his head on my chest as I stroked his hair.

"Hey Fluttershy.." He said, looking up at me.

"Yes?" I said with a blissful smile on as he laid there on top of me, his head on my breasts and his shaft still inside me.

"It's still the morning..." He said.

"You're right.." I said, looking out at the position of the sun.

"You know what that means?" He asked. I didn't even have to ask as I felt him start to harden again, never even pulling out as he slowly teased his hips back and forth.

"Round two?" I asked, biting my lower lip.

"Let's stay here today. No one will miss us if we... Have a little alone time." He said. I nodded in agreement, feeling my lust returning as I stared into his eyes.

"I want you to hold me in your arms all day long.." I said as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Well.. Who's going to stop us?" He said, his lips meeting again as he started thrusting.
