Why is Fluttershy So Shy?
Chapter 18: Chapter Eighteen. A Sunny Problem!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAnon sat up silently as the train was coming into Canterlot train station, it was unusually quicker on the way back home then going up to his parents. His heart rapidly thumped at his chest, the palms of his hands were so sweaty, he just hoped he could save his relationship with Sunset. Fluttershy sat by his hold his hand as got closer to its destination, neither of them spoke she knew that she just had to be there for him. This was a common problem in the vampires back home. But back at the village it usually it would of been sort by the female or the males coming together to sort out some sort of schedule where they got to have equal time with the partner. But Sunset was different. Not only was she not a vampire, she also wasn't properly a human either so it just added to the problem.
Fluttershy had other problems of her own to deal with, weather or not she told her friends of their secret or not. Anon planned out a speech in his head going from one point to the other adding a few apologies here and there, with the admittance of being dumbass and for not treating Sunset right. It wasn't long before the train announcement came through the speaker. "Canterlot Train station ahead!"
She looked to Anon grabbing his thigh, stroking him with her thumb trying to comfort Anon. "Are you ready?"
"As ready as can be." He answered back smiling trying to be as strong as he could be. They both grabbed hold of the bags preparing to get off.
They soon left the train heading back to Anon's house in silence holding hands as both of them were still in deep thought. As Anon opened the door Buddy and Molly came bounding over to their owner greeting him with happy wagging tails and lots of joyful licks slobbering his face making him smile an laugh. This was exactly what he needed to relive the awful tension looming over him.
"Hello! It good to see you too." Anon greets his dogs hugging them, rubbing their stomachs. "Have you two been good boys and girls?"
Fluttershy closed the door behind them smiling at her boyfriend as he makes a fuss of his pets. She gave it a minute letting anon enjoy this moment with buddy and Molly. She would be a liar if she said that she wasn't looking forward to seeing Angel again. After a minute of making a fuss of his pets, Anon stood up to look back at Fluttershy blushing. "Sorry I didn't mean to leave you standing there."
"I know, but I have to head back home." He frowned at this, Fluttershy gave him the strength he needed. But he understood that she had their friends to deal with.
"So do you know how your going to deal with Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie?!" Anon asks curious on how she was going to deal with their nosey friends, who really do mean well.
"Im not sure, really, if im honest." Fluttershy smirk before quickly frowning. "Are you going to be okay?" She asks worrying how he was going to be.
"Yeah ill be okay." he walk forward leaning over giving her a kiss on the cheek and grabbing hold of the front door handle behind her. As he stood up straight he opened the door for his girlfriend. "Ill text you when I have the chance."
"I'll wait for you." Fluttershy walked out of Anon house giving a slight wave before turning around walking away.
He closed the door sighing sadly transforming back to his natural state, before turning around to walk up the stairs with travel bag hung behind his back. Making his way to his bedroom with his pets following closely behind him. Anon got straight to unpacked his clothing and all the games he brought yesterday, while Buddy and Molly sat on his bed keeping their owner company. Once he had unpacked everything he knew that he couldn't just go straight over smelling like Fluttershy, he need to shower first. As he got into the shower all of Anon's thoughts were on Sunset moments that they shared together, moments no one can take away. The day when they confirmed their relationship together they went out and celebrated by going out on date to a nice restaurant. Afterwards they went to see a film at the cinema before heading back to Anon's. It might of not sound like much, but to Anon its those moments that he shared with her were some of the best. He need to remined Sunset of those moments and show her how much he loves her.

Fluttershy had made her way back home and as soon as the door was closed, the magic was lifted and she back to being in her natural state. After a quick visit to angel bunny in the Garden, who at first wasn't the most pleasant of rabbits to wake up but once Angel saw Fluttershy her attuited changed completely rubbing her head on her owners hand. He soon snapped back to normal as the bunny kicked his food bowl demanding more lettuce. Fluttershy smiled and did as she filled his bowl with a pile of lettuce that she got from the fridge in the kitchen. The bunny happily scuffed down his food leading to Fluttershy to head up stairs to unpack her clothes from her travel bag. She then showered before changing her clothes to the new shirt and skirt that she brought yesterday with Anon's mother.
Since she was refreshed, dressed and calm Fluttershy headed out to find Applejack, Rainbow and Pinkie and sort out this whole mess that they had left behind. She had no idea what she was going to do or say yet but she knew in the moment that she would know. Fluttershy headed straight to Sweet Apple Acres where she thought she would at least find Applejack. Apon entering the farm Fluttershy saw Granny Smith sitting out on the front porch in her rocking chair snoozing enjoy what was left of the summer. To be honest Fluttershy was looking forward Autumn and the longer nights that came with it.
She slowly approached Granny not wanting to wake her up it was then that Big Mac left the house carrying two full cases of Apple cider. "Applejack Is out with Rainbow and Pinkie." Fluttershy jumped back in surprise, her hand on her heart acting as if he had scared her. "Ah didn't mean to scare ya, im sorry." Big mac apologised putting the cases down gently as to not disturb Granny Smith.
"D-do you know where they are?" Fluttershy asks as shyly as she could remember to be, she had been acting normally for so long she almost forgot how she had to act.
"Eyep She said she they was heading to the café in town." Big mac replied with a warm smile.
With this new information Fluttershy thanked him and left head straight for the coffee shop in town. It didn't take her long before she arrived at the café, using her hearing she found them right at the back of the café. Applejack and Rainbow both had your normal run of the mill Coffee's while pinkie enjoyed a nice Hot Chocolate. "Hi." Fluttershy greeted causing Rainbow and Applejack to look up in surprise while Pinkie smiled and launched her self at the light butter skinned girl hugging her tightly.
Much to everyone's surprise Fluttershy didn't flinch or get scared she just hugged the Party Girl back smiled. "I missed you too Pinkie."
"So are you really gonna tell us what happened on Friday or what?" Rainbow asks before sipping on her coffee.
"Rainbow!" Applejack scolds looking at athlete angry.
"Its okay you want answers... and I guess Sunset didn't say anything?" Fluttershy asks her voice still soft and delicate. Pinkie let go and moved over as Fluttershy sat down at the table.
"We haven't seen her at all this weekend." Applejack answered a hint of worry in her voice.
"I tried to visit her, I knocked her door for ages and all I got was a text telling me to leave her alone." Pinkie said pulling the saddest frown she had ever pulled in her life.
It was in this moment Fluttershy knew that she had to tell them the truth, they were her friends and they need to know. The only other alternative would of been to use her stare and wipe their memories. It would of been useless they would of found eventually it was only a matter of time. And now seemed better then any other. She feared her friends would fear her and Anon but after Twilight told everyone she was a pony princess from an alternative world, Fluttershy had to have faith that they will accept them for who they are. She took a deep breath before talking. "Whereas Rarity? She need's to know this too."
"Rarity is visiting her Family with Sweetie Belle, they left yesterday as a matter of fact." Apple jack answered at frowning.
"Yeah you should have seen AJ she's been moping ever since Rarity left." Rainbow said with a smirk.
"Have not!" Applejack fired back.
"Sure." Pinkie winked before whispering into Applejack's ear "Your secret is safe with me."
This only made the farm girl blush even more, making Fluttershy and Rainbow laugh. It Calmed the butter skin vampire's nerves and now all she wanted to do was tell them. Her confidence had been was better then ever she felt as though she could trust her friends. It was Rainbow who brought up again. "So why is Anon dating you Sunset? And how can you be okay with that."
"I cant tell you here. Its to be more of a private. Come back to mine and I can show you." With that Fluttershy stood up and walked out with Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie following behind confused by Fluttershy. it was side they had never seen from her and Rainbow couldn't get over the wording of how she spoke. "Show?"

Anon had left the house and was on his way over to Sunset's he had messaged her that he was coming over, but he got no reply which only made him worry more. He quickly stopped off at the town buying her favourite flowers (lily's) and her favourite chocolates, before running over to her house being careful that wouldn't ruin the flowers. Reaching Sunset's house, Anon felt his nerves begin to waver and his heart pounded away as his thoughts went wild. What if she doesn't want to see me, what if she doesn't love me any more, What if she's found someone else. Anon shook his head, bit his lip and rapidly knocked on the door, before he changed his mind.
For a moment there was nothing but silence making Anon sweat buckets he was about to call out when the door opened up to see Sunset standing there. She was in her pyjama's, it look like she had been in them the entire time Anon was gone. Her eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying a considerable amount. He couldn't tell if they were angry or sad tears. The look she gave made him think angry, but for all he knew it could of been both.
Having not been in this situation before Anon was unsure how to start the conversation. So he started off with what he thought was right. Anon hung his head low holding out the flowers and the chocolates. "Im sorry."
Sunset's eyes soften apon seeing the gifts Anon held out. She was surprised to see him holding her favourite flowers and chocolates, she had no idea that he knew her favourite flowers or chocolates. Even though she Anon was trying to make it up to her. She could see the sweat pits under the armpit of his t-shirt and the fact his hands were shaking just showed how afraid he was. But there we're things they needed to discuss it couldn't just be fixed as simple as couple of gifts. "I know, come in we need to talk." She took the gifts and moved to the side allowing for Anon to enter.
Anon swallow's the lump in his throat and walks into Sunset's home he clenched his fist just to stop them from shaking. The house was dark, the curtains had been shut so no sunlight entered anyway making the whole place feeling more depressed then ever before. Anon open the curtains allowing natural sunlight to fill the room making the whole place feel better.
Sunset walks into the kitchen finding a jug and filling with water before placing the flowers in the jug, She didn't have a vase and made mental note to buy one in the future. The funny thing is Anon never knew the reason why it was her favourite, back In Equestria Lily's were her favourite snack but they were expensive. Fortunately being protégée to Princess Celestia cost was never much of a problem hers. Sunset sighed placing the chocolates in the cupboard, before walking out carrying the jug flowers to find anon opened he curtains making everything feel so much better.
She saw Anon sitting on the coach sitting forward with his hands together and his knees bounces through nerves. Sunset smiled at her boyfriend giving him a sense of ease. She was still angry but she didn't want him to worry. Sunset held up the jug with the flowers, blushing from embarrassment. "I don't have a vase." she rubbed the back of her chuckling lightly before walking over to the windowsill placing down.
The room was deadly silent as Sunset sat down on the sofa, she crossed her legs and turned her self to the side to face Anon causing him to do the same. Anon wasn't sure if he should speak first and break the awkward silence between them, but before he could say anything, Sunset had started to shout startling him, causing Anon to lean back in surprise from her sudden outburst. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE FLUTTERSHY TO SEE YOUR PARENTS WITHOUT ASKING ME!" Anon thought about arguing back, but decided against it and thought it would best to let her out all the pain he caused her. "YOU GO STRAIGHT TO HER!"
Sunset started to cry and her voice lowered. "You never give a another thought. I LOVE YOU TOO CELESTIA DAMN IT!" She picked up the pillow behind her and started aggressively whacking Anon with the pillow. "From now on Anon Ymous. If you decide anything Fluttershy you tell me. All of the important thing's. All of it you got it!" She told him while continually whacking him with the pillow.
"Okay, okay I got it!" Anon answered as he held up his arms shielding himself from the pillow onslaught.
"Good." She gave him one more whack with the pillow, before landing on him sigh a sweet smile.
"Im sorry. Im sorry that didn't tell you that I was taking Fluttershy to see my parents. I got random call from my Mum and Flutters was just there at the time, you know. It was a spur of the moment and I just didn't give you any thought and that was wrong, im sorry. I know I should of been a better boyfriend and I will be from now I promise you." Anon meant every word and he knew there things had to tell her right here, right now but he was afraid of telling her the truth. He was unsure of what her reaction would be.
"I know you will so is there anything you wanted to tell me." Sunset asks smiling at Anon.
Anon bit the bullet and just came out with the truth. "Fluttershy's pregnant."
There was a long silence as what Anon said filled the air making it difficult to say anything after that revelation. She sat up getting off of her boyfriend feeling disheartened by the news. She always knew that Fluttershy and Anon were bound together by special vampire bond, but she wasn't expecting this. "How long have you known for?" Sunset asks braking the silence, her tone of voice low and clearly sad.
"I found out just before we left to see my family." he answered honestly as his heart beat rapidly and his palms began to moist up but kept a calm exterior.
That came as some comfort to her, but now Sunset thought she was just getting in the way of their happiness. That she was just ruining a good relationship and it would be better if she would just leave. But then it hit her. "If he really loves me just as much as Fluttershy, time he proved it." Sunset thought. "Turnme!" Sunset said at rapid speed turning to Anon smiling
"Wait what?!" Anon replied unsure of what she just said.
"If you really do love me, Then prove it and turn me just like you." Sunset spoke with such certainty.
"I can't." Anon admitted which made Sunset's heart plummet. "Im not saying I cant because I don't want to."
"THEN WHAT!? Im I not important to you would you rather just keep dating me as I age, get old and die as you stay young and live your life?!" Sunset felt all her anger raise to the surface.
"No I just don't know how to turn someone. Im still a vampire in training and I haven't unlocked my full potential yet." Sunset calmed down at this understanding her boyfriends point of view.
"Then lets get you to Fluttershy she can teach you how. im not having her stick her teeth in my neck." Sunset got up about to head up stairs when Anon grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"You can't right now, She's busy dealing with our friends. Either telling the truth or something." Anon said smiling. "But I wanna know are you sure. you'll live forever you won't be able die and what if you want to go back to Equestria. I just want to make sure you want this. you'll have an eternity to live.
"I know what I want. I want an eternity with you." Sunset sat herself down on Anon's lap kissing him deeply.
"And I want that too, I don't think I ever want to lose you." Anon kissed back just as deep. "Now that we've gotten that out of the way, how about we have two day's just us to make up this weekend. No Fluttershy, just us."
Sunset smiled brightly excited at the idea. "Sounds perfect and I know just how to start it." Sunset got up off of the sofa and led him by the arm upstairs to start their perfect two day's off right.

On the walk back to Fluttershy's house, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash teased Applejack about her Crush on Rarity, while Fluttershy stayed silent and giggled at the jokes. Pinkie and Dash took turns asking the farmer questions that she would always ignore and brush it off telling the pair to knock it off. Then turned into roleplaying between young Athlete and baker that would turn AJ bright red as an apple. The jokes helped ease the anxiety in her stomach she had lived a lie most of her teenage life. Lying to all of her friends and she was finally about to tell the truth and it was terrifying but also extremely liberating at the same time, Knowing she no longer had put on an act. She would be able to be herself, but she wasn't sure if they would except her.
It wasn't long before they were at Fluttershy's house it was at this point fear was taking over and she didn't like it. She started to regret going down this route but she was here now and there was no going back. "Why don't you sit down in the front room and ill make a tea." Fluttershy said as she opened the front door letting her friends in.
They all nodded in agreement entering the front room while Fluttershy head straight for the kitchen. As the kettle boiled Fluttershy splashed water on her face to calm her self down she knew all this stress wasn't good for the baby but she couldn't help but be afraid just like she was before she was bit. She wished Anon was by her side giving her the confidence to do this. The kettle soon whistled bring the vampire girl out of her thoughts making her pour the hot water into the tea pot and place It on the tray with four cups, some milk and sugar.
Fluttershy carried the tray and she could feel the piercing eyes of all her friends. Placing the tray on the she could feel her hands begin to shake. Applejack, Rainbow and Pinkie could all see her hands shake as she poured out the tea into the cups spilling some of the tea in parts. "Fluttershy are you'll okay?" Applejack asks worry clear in her voice.
"I-Im f-fine." Her voice wavered as she tried to act normal.
"Stop bullshitting us shy. we can all see something is wrong. What is it!" Rainbow fired back.
Something in shy snapped and she couldn't handle the fear anymore and she took what she thought was the easiest and quickest way out. "LOOK INTO MY EYES!" Fluttershy commanded with authority using her vampire magic. The three friends couldn't help but be drawn into Fluttershy's eyes. "You will forget everything, that went on between me, Anon and Sunset in these last two days!"
"Yes Fluttershy!" AJ, Rainbow and Pinkie replied in unison under her spell.
Fluttershy continued coving all bases. "All you will remember is that this weekend Anon took me to see his parents. Then Invited you over for tea and a chat."
"Yes Fluttershy!" The three friends replied once.
She then closed her eyes and looked at her friends they were happily talk amongst themselves. Fluttershy sighed happily at this the worry and fear was over for now. It wasn't long before they had left and Fluttershy was rather glad of that as she ran up stairs crying hugging her cuddly stuffed cat . "Im a coward I should of told them." She continuously cried into her pillow until she fell asleep.
