It was just another of those wonderful days in Ponyville. The air had those warm breezes that brang a specific scent with it. The air smelled like freshly mowed grass, small birds chirped their songs out of their trees and everypony was doing his or her business. So, as said before, it was a perfect day. Or better said, a perfect sunset.
A few miles away from town, nearly where Everfree Forest begins, a creature, non usual for this area, laid in the mid high grass. On top of it, there laid a small bunny, nearly asleep. The creature yawned slightly and stood up. It was Fluttershy, a young Pegasus who decided to live at the border of town to be with the only other creatures who doesn't scare her that much. In fact, she wasn't a great flier, so she wanted to move out of the hometown were Pegasi usually belong - Cloudsdale. She lived on the ground since she was out of filly-age and she never wanted to leave anymore.
The little bunny on top of Fluttershys head woke up entirely and gave her an annoyed look, just as always when he doesn't like the decisions Fluttershy made.

"Oh, I'm sorry Angel, did I wake you up? Please excuse me. But I think the sun goes down completely in a few moments and you know that I don't want to be outside when it's too dark. So we might better move inside, don't we?"
Angel just rolled his eyes. Yes, this was Fluttershy everyone knew. Afraid-of-her-own-shadow-Fluttershy. But he understood and took a seat in her tail, just as always when she carries him. Fluttershy gave him a smile and began to float a few hooves above the ground. She headed back home.
The entire day was just relaxing for her. Well, since a few days, nothing special happened either. It started to make her a bit doubtful. Normally, just about every second day theres a new adventure to her and her friends, but the entire last week was just so... abnormal to her. It even started to bore her a bit. and if something bores even Fluttershy, then you can be sure it's really boring. It's not that Fluttershy is boring or lazy, but she's just afraid of everything. There's practically nothing that could bore her.

Just about when she stood in front of her door, she realized a strange noise from above her. She quickly turned her head and saw a cyan pegasus just about crashing into her. Before she could scream and cover, she already laid on the ground with the rainbow maned mare on top of her.

"Ouch! Well, that's about a soft landing! You're okay Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash stood up and hoofed over her right front hoof to the still confused mare.

"Uh, yes, sure, I'm sorry if I was in your way, I..."
"No, I'm sorry about that. Don't be nervous 'Shy, I just lost control of my speed, it's not your fault. There's nothing to excuse to from your side." Rainbow interrupted her. She lifted her friend up and gave her a cocky smile.
"Well, how ya doing? Didn't hear from you a while." The rainbow maned mare looked at Fluttershys wings, which were now unfolded and hung down a bit.
"Oh, did I hurt you? I'm sorry about that if so" Her smile turned into a worried face.

"Uhm, no, I- I mean you- I mean... uhm, maybe you hit a weak spot of my wings, but never mind. It doesn't hurt." Fluttershy blushed a bit while saying that.
"And I'm fine, thank you Dashie. How are you? Anything happened I have to know? What brings you here? Oh, please come inside, it's getting a bit frosty out here." The shy pegasus opened her front door and Angel quickly hopped inside to his basket. The two mares followed him inside and Rainbow immediately jumped on the couch. She knew Fluttershy would never forbid her to do something like that. In fact, they both knew each other perfectly.

"Well, I'm fine too. I just flew over Ponyville a bit, you know, enjoy the beautiful sunset a bit, when I noticed I didn't give you a visit for a while. So I changed my direction to your house and I saw you there. Thats the story." Rainbow chuckled and turned her head to Fluttershy, who carried a small teapot in her mouth. She placed it in the middle of the table and took a seat on a small wooden stool.
"Oh, excuse me, please go on, I'm listening. I just like to take a cup of tea at every evening. It's some sort of a ritual to me." She then took another cup out of a small cupboard. "You want some too? It's rose hip. very delicious."

"I normally don't drink that stuff, but why not. I'm open for everything new." With that, Dash took a seat opposite to Fluttershy and began to taste the still hot liquids Fluttershy poured out for her. The pink maned mare gave her a smile and took a sip, too.

"So, Fluttershy, whats up with any colts? Did you meet one?" The yellow pegasus spit out her tea and coughed rapidly. "Uh, what did you say?" There was a hint of confusion in her line.
"Well, you know. Colts, Stallions! Males! I've never seen you around with a male comparison. I'm serious now Fluttershy. Didn't you ever have some sort of desires for that? We all need some company sometimes. Even me! I mean, if you need any help with that, I could help you and give you some tips-"
Fluttershy raised her hoof.
"No. Thank you Rainbow, I'm really stirred about your offer, but I don't need any help. There actually was a Pony I shared time with. It was really nice back then, but nowadays I probably couldn't handle him anymore. It's not that I don't like him anymore, but hes far too, well, manly for me." Fluttershy looked away.
"Wow."
Dash didn't expect that from Fluttershy. She's never heard her talk straight like that. It was like this wasn't Fluttershy anymore. She acted more like Applejack. She didn't even know Fluttershy had a relationship back then. Why would she cover it from her anyway? They knew each other for such a long time now.

"I will tell you the full story sometimes, but now it's just too late. I'm really tired and have to sleep now. Thanks for the visit, bye."
"But-" Rainbow couldn't say more before the front door shut right before her face. "Oh sweet celestia, did I just hurt her feelings or something? Gosh, I really need to talk to her as soon as possible..."
With that, Rainbow Dash flew back home. The fresh night air tickled her wings while she flew up to cloudsdale. Soon, she fell asleep in her bed.
She would visit Fluttershy again tomorrow, thats for sure.
