“I´m so glad to see you again, Coco. I hope everything's going fine in Manehattan.”

“Oh it is, thank you for your concern, Fluttershy.”

The two mares took a sip of their tea while the restaurant kept with its usual chat behind them.

“Can I ask so how's work you for a favor going for you now?”

“Oh I´m sorry, you go ahead…”

“You first.”

Both mares went back to their teas, blushing, failing to notice the restaurant gone quiet and everypony was looking at them.

“Fluttershy, you are good friends with Rarity, right?” Coco asked.

“Oh yes, I think we´re the best friend of each other,” Fluttershy happily replied.

“Oh so you two are really close, then?”

“Yes, I think we are as closest as two friends can be!”

“Oh, I see…” Coco said, lowering her head.

The ponies started to whispered and point at them, making Fluttershy feel uncomfortable.

“I should have know...after all, you know each other from a long time ago...it was to be expected…” Coco murmured.

Fluttershy didn´t understood what was going on and was feeling really bad about being stared.

“I guess I should just give up…”

“No! Listen Coco, you must never give up!” Fluttershy said, holding her hooves. “I used to be like that, giving up before even trying, but my friends changed me! So...so, whatever it is you want, you must fight for it!”

“You...you´re right! I must fight for her!” Coco announced and took off, not before giving Fluttershy a big hug and a thank you.

Fluttershy was quite happy but then the ponies of the restaurant got up and start shaking her hoof and patting her back, saying things like “I´m so sorry” “there will be others” “you´ll find somepony” or “I´m not seeing anypony at the moment.”

Fluttershy didn't understood a thing of what happened.

“Ponies have been acting weird all day. I should probably ask Twilight about it...Oh goodness, I´pm ate for our date!”

And Fluttershy left, not before leaving a good tip for the nice waiter.
