Twilight was trying unsuccessfully at getting Fluttershy to help with battle preparations.
“Look, the rabbits and the squirrels don’t have to help, but at least try to recruit the bears,” pleaded Twilight.
“No! I won’t let all those poor little animals be killed. They shouldn’t have to fight a battle that’s not theirs,” responded Fluttershy.
“Fine,” Twilight said as she walked away from Fluttershy, who was trying to hide as many animals as she could inside her house. Suddenly, Twilight thought of an idea.
“But, what if this isn’t a cute, cuddly animal that would battle,”
“Oh, no. All animals are cute and cuddly,” said Fluttershy as she locked her overstuffed chicken coop.
“Not an Ursa Major,” said Twilight. Fluttershy stared at her with horror.
“No! Ursa Majors are just as big and scary as dragons. I don’t think anything that big should be battling with ponies. I mean, somepony could get hurt,” Fluttershy said frantically.
“And what do you think happens in a battle?” Twilight sarcastically said.
“Well, um,”
“Exactly! Now you’re coming with me so we can get that Ursa Major!” Twilight commanded as she dragged a terrified Fluttershy out of the room. Twilight teleported them to the Ursa’s cave. The cavernous cave looked like it could hold five dragons inside of it with room to spare.
“Twilight, please! I don’t want to go in there! Somepony, anypony, help!” screamed Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy, hush. You don’t want to get it mad. Listen, either you help me to convince this Ursa to fight, or all your animals friends could die,” said Twilight.
“All of them? Angel Bunny too?” whimpered Fluttershy as she wiped away her tears. Twilight nodded in approval.
“All right, Twilight. For my friends,” said Fluttershy as they entered the cave. The dark cave was filled with stalagmites and stalactites. Some were small, and others were as tall as multiple ponies. Twilight used a light spell to illuminate the way. They continued to walk for about five minutes until they saw the universe colored fur. The Ursa Major was much bigger than Twilight imagined. Fluttershy began to whimper. The Ursa Major and its baby were fast asleep.
“Ok, Fluttershy, you’re on,” Twilight said as she pushed Fluttershy towards the giant creatures. Being as brave as she could, Fluttershy stepped towards the Ursas.
“Um, excuse me,” asked Fluttershy. No response from the creatures.
“Excuse me, Ms. Ursa,” Again no response.
“Please, Miss Ursa, wake up. Equestria’s in trouble and we really could use your help,” Still no response.
“Look, there’s a maniacal hybrid and her army on their way to Equestria right now. We need your help to stop them, or else a lot of ponies could die. Your cute little baby could die too. Don’t you want your baby to live?” pleaded Fluttershy. The Ursa Major’s eyes opened. It stared quizzingly at her. Fluttershy used the stare on her. The creature sat up and looked at her baby, and then looked at Fluttershy.
“Don’t worry, your little one will be safe at my house,” Fluttershy reassured. The Ursa Major picked up its baby and walked out of the cave.
“You did it, Fluttershy!” exclaimed Twilight.
“Yes, I guess I did,” Fluttershy said. Fluttershy went back to her house with the Ursa Minor, and Twilight and the Ursa Major traveled to Canterlot.
