It's been a few weeks since Nocturne has come back from the Everfree Forest, but he's still used to handling things on his own. Problems, concerns, troubles--even with his new friends, Nocturne is still convinced he can take care of himself.

But when he suddenly comes down with a bug, Fluttershy insists that he's wrong.

Nocturne is a big boy, and he knows it. But Fluttershy wants to help, no matter what it takes. This will drive the self-sufficient Nocturne crazy, despite her best intentions. Talk about being "killed with kindness".

Takes place in the same universe as "The Gentle Dark" and "The Phantom Pony of Everfree", but not a part of the storyline. Just a cute, funny one-shot that doesn't really have a purpose except to entertain.
