Chapter 3: The Castle

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

When Fluttershy got home, she started considering what Big Mac had asked.

She started talking to herself. "Why would he want to marry me? He called me the prettiest mare in Maris. Am I really that pretty? I don't even like him that much. What do you think Angel Bunny?"

No response.

She turned around and realized her precious bunny was nowhere to be seen. "Angel, where are you." She checked in the critters' playroom, her bedroom, and the tree Angel loves to sit on. He was gone. She started to cry. What if she never found her baby? She looked up to find some small footprints in the soft dirt. There was hope.

She spent about an hour following the footprints, hoping she doesn't run into a cockatrice that could turn her to stone or a manticore that can tear her to shreds or even a humongous hydra! She better find Angel and fast.

She looked through the trees to find her bunny tangled in vines and surrounded by timberwolves. She knew that her Angel was done for, but she screamed at the top of her lungs, "ANGEL!!!!!"

She heard the whimpering of her sweet bunny that slowly stopped as she was sobbing over the loss of her bunny. She fell to her knees and buried her face in her hooves as it started to rain. She needed to get out of the rain. She turned around ready to run back home, but after wandering through the Everfree for an hour, she forgot her way back. She needed to find a place to shelter herself from the rain.

Fluttershy walked where Queen Luna's moonlight shone through the trees as her hooves trudged through the mud as it caked the ends of her dress and hooves.

"I'm lost," she sat down on the mud, staining the blue dress she wore even more, and cried. What was she to do now? Her bunny was gone, she's already having trouble being different, and Big Mac's proposal were piling on her is too much. She needs to get away from it.

The raining stopped as she gazed at Luna's stars that shone brightly. She remembered how the librarian knew all the constellations, Twilight was it? Oh well, she didn't know her that much.

Fluttershy's hopes were lifted when she saw a light shine in the distance. She ran towards it, but slowed down her pace and tilted her head in confusion as she saw its "uniqueness" of the small castle that hovered in front of her. It was purple with green polka dots.

Fluttershy softly knocked on the door. "Um..... h-hello?" She backed away, but she remembered that she NEEDED a place to stay. "Is anypony home?"

The door opened as she saw a sweet unicorn with a white coat. She seemed to have big bruises on her face and her mane was purple, but it looked as if it was cut. "Hello dear, what may I help you with?"

"I'm so sorry to bother you, but I really need a place to stay. I'm sorry if that's too much for you. I'll leave." She quickly turned away, but the mare took a hold of her hoof.

"Nonsense dear. I'm sure we can get you a room, some extra clothes, and maybe a bath." Fluttershy didn't take any offense though. She knew what the unicorn was talking about. "Oh I'm sorry, where are my manners. I'm Rarity." She held her hoof out for Fluttershy to shake it. "And you are?"

"My name is... Fluttershy."

"Oh what a lovely name. Come inside!"

They walked though the hallway. As they bumped into the other mistress of the castle. She was orange with a blonde ponytail that hung down her shoulder.

"Ah Applejack! This here is Fluttershy! She will be staying with us for the night." She turned to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy this is Applejack."

"Oh my! It's so nice to meet you," she shared a firm hoofshake with the country mare as she turned around.

Applejack pulled Rarity close to her. "Rarity can I talk to ya?"

"But of course Applejack!" They trotted down the hallway out of Fluttershy's hearing range.

"She's not supposed to be here." She whispered close to Rarity.

"I know, but she has nowhere else to go and she is just so kind and gentle, I thought she might be the key to getting Discord a 'pure' heart. Ponies seeing Fluttershy with him would think he is soft and nice and all that stuff."

Applejack loved the idea. "Great idea Rarity! Now all we have to do is get Discord to see her and keep her here forever." They gave each other a hoofbump as they approached the small mare.

"Come on Fluttershy," she guided her to the fire to get warmer.

While she was warming up, the two mares rushed over to Discord's room to spread the news of their new visitor.
