Day Three of Seven:

Pinkie Pie POV-

♪Tra-la-la!♫ Ah, the morning is clear and warm and bright! I feel a song coming on…

"♫Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when your part of a te-♫"

Hey, it's Fluttershy! Huh, she's looks kinda bummed. Aw… I don't like seeing my friends all frowny. I should cheer her up.

"Hi, Fluttershy!"

"Oh, hello Pinkie Pie."

"Everything okay?"

"Well, I guess so."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes… I think…"

"♪Are you sure for sure?♫"

"…"

"Come on, Fluttershy, you can tell Auntie Pinkie."

"Ohhhh… okay. But not here."

"Wanna make some cupcakes?"

"Uh, sure, Pinkie!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"I'm coming…"

Is there anything better than good friends, cupcakes, and a cold soda? No, I don't think so! Well, I guess spending time with Cheesie is pretty good, but Fluttershy is just as a good a friend, if not better. And right now, Flutters needs me. She seemed okay while we were making cupcakes and she was laughing at all my jokes. But now… she just goes all sad. I don;'t know what to do.

"Hey, Flutters, what's going on? I hardly see you now and when I do, you got a upside down smilie."

"It's- It's nothing, really…"

"Come on, Flutters! You'll feel better if you talk about it."

"I don't know, Pinkie. This is kinda- personal…"

"Oh? Does this anything to do with that special somepony you found during Estrus?"

Tee-hee! Flutters is so cute when she's surprised.

"How did you know that?"

"♪Pinkie Sense!♫"

"Oh… right."

"So come on! You don't have to kiss and tell. Just tell Auntie Pinkie what's bothering you."

"I don't know, Pinkie…"

I guess I need to put on the charm, then…

"Pwease!" *SQUEE!*

"Oh, okay."

Yesh! Pinkie Cutie Face and Sound Effect strikes again!

"Well, I guess it started after He was found…"

He?

"*GASP!* You mean HIM him?"

Flutters nods.

"Oh. My. Faust!"

"Yes… I know it's not exactly ideal… I still don't know what possessed me to… It's just…"

"Felt he was lost and alone in our world, helpless like a baby bird and without any friends at all?"

"Yes…"

Oy, now I'm getting sad…

"I thought he wouldn't make it. I mean, I've seen ponies die from much less. But he recovered. Twilight… When I told her he could talk, she was incredulous, to say the least… He proved as intelligent if not more so, then her. Although he is bit sarcastic…"

"We're talking about Steven, right?"

"Yes."

"*GASP! GASP! GASP!* You're-?"

"Well, that's the thing…"

Huh?

"I mean- I feel something for him… I'm just not sure what it is."

"If isn't love or friendship, what is it?"

"I don't know. I am so scared!"

"Aw, Flutters! You don't have to be scared."

"But I am! He's- and I'm-

"Well," I add, "a new relationship is always gonna hard, and your differences can seem overwhelming at first. But that's what makes them fun!"

"Maybe you're right, Pinkie." Fluttershy saus, "I'm so used to taking care of hurt or wounded animals. That's what made me care for him so much, at first: he was gravely injured and he was the only one of his kind. I didn't expect him to think like a pony does, or even have him engage me in conversation."

"So when did you start thinking of him that way?" I gingerly ask.

"When he was able to get around on his own." Fluttershy replies, "I realized that, while he was in my care, he seemed almost relieved to have some pony to talk to. He- as we were talking, I was given the impression that he is oh so alone where he comes from. And yes, at first, he was fighting the delusion that he was out of his mind. But then he started settling into life here. He started making friends. I saw that he was a lonely soul and he needed a little kindness. That's when- That's when my compassion changed into- something else."

"Aw, Flutters! You really are head over hooves for him!"

Fluttershy nods, "I still can't believe I let him rut me…"

"Wait, say that again?"

"…"

"Flutters?"

"…No…"

"Come on, Flutters, I won't tell anypony. I can keep a secret."

"I let him rut me."

"*GGAAASSSSPPPPP!* You didn't-!"

Again, Fluttershy nods, "I did. I was so desperate! I had fought it all of Estrus. But he was there… Stevie was all alone… And I was so- I needed it so badly- All the signs were there, so I just went for it… The mare is supposed to chase the stallion, so- "

"Aw, Flutters…"

"My mama and papa always told me that I such wait until I found my special somepony. I- I made a promise to me mama- I was going to wait- Mama…"

"It's okay, Fluttershy. It's not like Cheesie and I didn't get- well, you know."

"But that's different! You really like Cheese Sandwich."

"Well, DUH! We even gave each other flowers during Hearts and Hooves Day!"

"I know, but Cheese is an Earth pony like you! You two could have foals, if- if you wanted. With Stevie, I don't even know- It's just- I don't know anything about Stevie… other than what he's said so far… And I- I let my body make the decision… Then my heart… Afterwards, I was feeling guilty and a little ashamed…"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"We talked for a while after. He confessed some things to me. I was- surprised, maybe even a little hurt. I don't know what made me do it- I kinda- gave him an ultimatum…"

"An old tomato?"

Fluttershy shakes her head, "An ultimatum. I ordered him figure out what he wanted out of me because I didn't want to be a kept mare. Now that I look at it, it was really unfair of me- I don't even know what I want from him. It feels like- like I used him. I feel awful-"

Aww, Fluttershy is so cute when she cries!

"Come on, Flutters, it's okay. It was a rough time for you. And you're so shy around most stallions, I doubt that any of them would consider-"

Ooops! I did that "brutal honesty thing" again.

"Have you told him any of this?"

"*Sniff!* No."

"Well, maybe you should."

"I don't know… What if he really has feelings for me?"

"Then you could happy and I can be happy for you?"

"But-"

"But what?"

"He's a human…"

"Duuuhhhhh! But he's a SMART human."

"I don't know what to do…!"

Right now, neither do I. Now- now I wanna cry.

This one feels more and more like a soap opera scene… Also, I'm operating under the rules of Cheesie Pie. So, yeah, Pinkie and Sammich got a whole LOT of rutting goin' on during Estrus.
