Why is Fluttershy So Shy?
Chapter 19: Chapter Nineteen. Beginning of Another School Year
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSummer had been and Gone and Autumn was rolling in slowly. School had started and nothing had changed when Anon found out that she couldn't go through with telling their friends the truth, he felt bad being able to comfort her when she needed it. But on the plus side everything seemed to be going well. Anon's relationships were going well they had worked out a week by week system that seemed to suit everyone's needs. The baby had seemed well the only thing was Fluttershy had quite the baby bump in her vampire form. Of course when she was in human form no one could tell a thing, but she still had to be careful and not over do it in sports or drama. Luckily Fluttershy was never know for be athletic and her shyness got her out of doing anything big drama.
Anon was helping Fluttershy settle all the animals down at the shelter. They we're just about to tell All the animals a bed time story when Anon got a
text from Rainbow dash.
EMERGENCY! CANTERLOT HIGH NOW!!!
Showing Fluttershy, worried she picked up Angle bunny and you both made your way to canterlot high as quickly as they could. Fluttershy and anon could see they everyone else had just arrived.
"I got your text Rainbow Dash. Did something come through the portal?! Is equestrian magic on the lose?! Did Twilight come through with a problem only we can solve?!" Sunset asks, the questions flowing from her mouth making Anon smile at how cute she was being.
"HAS A GAINT CAKE MONSTER COVERED ALL THE CAKES IN THE WORLD IN CAKE?!" Pinkie asks scream loudly scoffing two cup cakes simultaneously as Sunset looks at her unimpressed.
"Um, not exactly." Rainbow answered grabbing her guitar from the out of the case.
"I don't understand?" Sunset said confused.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Anon agreed just as confused as everyone else.
"Well you see Sunset, Anon, I was just telling Rainbow dash, here that a broken guitar string does not qualify as an emergency." Applejack answered flicking the broke string on rainbow's guitar.
"It totally does" Dash replies pulling her guitar away from Applejack, causing Anon to facepalm annoyed at the fuss Rainbow made.
"Really Rainbow Dash, I was in the middle of sewing a very complex applique on my latest frock." Rarity whined crossing her arms
"And Me and Anon was about to tuck everyone in for the night at the shelter." Fluttershy frowned very annoyed at the athlete as she cuddled Angel bunny comforting him.
"Yeah we're gonna have to start all over again." Anon sighed patting Angel gently.
"Why would you send us all an emergency texts for a guitar string?" Sunset asks confused at her friends actions.
"Well I was going to pony up and show our fans some awesome guitar licks, but I kind of need all six string's, Got any extra?" Rainbow asks sheepishly.
Everyone sighed at Rainbows antics as Sunset searched her bag finding the guitar string before handing it over. "Here, but everyone finished practicing for the day, Im pretty sure the music room is locked?"
"No problem the acoustics in the hallway are perfect for power cords." Rainbow answers as she fix's her broken guitar string before quick strum on all six stings. "Come on lets, go."
Everyone followed accept for Sunset making Applejack turn around. "You coming Sunset?"
"I'll catch up in a bit." Sunset answered back leading to Applejack walking in with out her.
Anon look around to see that Sunset wasn't here. "Let me take Angel out, he doesn't need to get all worked up again." Fluttershy nodded Handing Angel over. Then Bunny snuggled into his chest as he carried him out of the school seeing Sunset sitting on the steps writing into the book she contacts Princess Twilight. Anon walked down the step to sit next to his fiery haired girlfriend. She sighed as she finished writing and closes the book, before putting it in her bag and laying her head on Anon's shoulder. "Still hasn't replied?"
Sunset shook her head and was about to say something, until she noticed a mysterious hooded person at the portal carrying a strange device. Sunset tapped Anon's Face making him stroke his cheek looking down seeing her point at portal seeing hood figure. "HEY!" Anon shouted out scaring the mystery person, causing them to run off.
"What are you doing?! Come back!" Sunset got up and started running after them. Unfortunately the person ran across the road quickly getting on to the bus heading into the city.
Sunset stood at the bus stop completely shocked, Anon finally caught up to his girlfriend as he walked slow so he didn't wake up Angel. "Who was that?" Anon asks confused.
"I don't know." Sunset replied honestly looking at Anon concerned.
After chasing the mysterious person Sunset and Anon sat down at the steps once more as they waited for their friends to Finnish impressing their fan's. namely Applejacks and Rarity's sister's Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and their Friend Scootaloo. Anon was introduce to them once and it was a big ordeal that ended up in nearly having his kitchen burnt down. Anon looked over at Sunset see the concern as she stared at the portal. He knew just how to relax her. "So starting tomorrow im all yours for the week."
Sunset smiled at this. "So you are."
"Got any idea's what you want to do Sunny?" Anon asks, wiggling his eyebrows, making Sunset giggle.
"Well I was thinking we could-" Sunset was cut off as their friends walked out of the school.
"THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!" Scootaloo shouted excitedly from seeing Rainbow pony up.
"I know right!" Rainbow smiled.
Sunset and Anon got up racing towards their friends telling them all what had just happen with the mystery person. As Sunset told the story Fluttershy began to worry at the possibilities of The Hunters.
"Look that sound's bad and all but there's nothing we can do right now." Rainbow said with a yawn before ruffling Scootaloo's hair. "Besides I've gotta get squirt here, back to orphanage or my ass is grass. Miss killjoy over there isn't the most forgiving person."
"Alright. But we have to talk about this first thing tomorrow." Sunset said leading everyone to nod in agreement before walking off in different directions heading home.
Fluttershy walked over to Sunset and Anon interested to hear more about this mystery person. "So what did this mystery person look like?" She asks stroking Angel bunny in Anon's arms.
"We don't know, all we saw was a blue hoodie and jeans. Though I do think they we're wearing glasses. Looked feminine." Sunset answered as she recalled the chase.
Fluttershy began to calm down it didn't fit the descriptions of any of members from the hunters. "Well im sure we'll work it all out tomorrow. Come on Anon we have to tuck everyone in back at the shelter." Fluttershy Angel off of Anon and began walking back to the shelter.
"I'll see you tomorrow, love you." Anon gave Sunset a hug and a quick kiss before walking with off with Fluttershy.
"See you tomorrow." Fluttershy called out as Sunset was left at the statue wondering who that mystery person was.
"Yeah see ya..." With nothing else Sunset could do, she decided on going home, hopefully Twilight had some idea's.
When they finally arrived at the shelter Fluttershy put Angel down next to his friends as they begin to tell a story. It was story love, action and lot of tasty veg. Anon smiled as he watched her tell the story and thought about when their baby and all the stories he will tell her. They didn't know for sure what gender it was but Anon had a good feeling. And they couldn't go to a doctor's especially with how quickly its developing. He reckoned it wouldn't be long before she would be born, at a guess most like be born by December. "A Christmas present." Anon thought smiling brightly. When story time was over and the shelter had been locked up it was time to go home.

Streets away Flash Sentry was following texts from his from someone called A.B . luckily Autumn had just started mean the nights wasn't cold just yet. Suddenly his phone off again.
Head left and you shall see an abandoned building, enter it! We are waiting for you on the 3rd floor, Room 34. -A.B
Flash did as the message said and sure as it said an abandoned block of flats stood in front of him. The windows had black burnt edge where a fire had broken out. Flash remembered seeing the fire on tv a month ago. There was a yellow danger tape on the floor by the door like someone tared the tape off and left it on the ground. He entered the build seeing all the damage the fire caused parts of the ceiling had collapsed so many precious items burnt to dust all lost to the fire. Now if any sane person would get bad vibes from this and turn and leave. But Flash was different anger was consuming him and all he care about was getting revenge on Sunset and Anon. Sunset had made his life hell, using him just to get popular. And when she gets defeated, all her sins are forgiven, all the bullying and heart ache all just forgotten, It wasn't right. Then to have Anon his best friend defined Sunset for all she's done and making her his best friend. Not to mention Anon embarrassing him at his own Halloween party and destroying his band at the battle of bands. Something need to be done he needed vengeance and he hoped who ever A.B is they could help him achieve what he wants most.
The stairs creaked as Flash carefully made his way up hoping not to step on a bad floor board that could send him falling through. He finally made it to the 3rd floor and located the right room. Flash carefully pushed the door open, walking about half way finding three other people dress all in black hooded trench coats that had armour worked into the clothing. They belts filled with all kinds of gadgets that would make Batmare jealous. The two men either side both had a single sword on their back's with their hoods up. While the woman in the middle just had her hood up and a black fabric over her mouth and nose on leaving her piercing green eyes to peak out from behind the hood.
The woman started to walk towards flash making him step back nervous of the intimidating people before him. "Flash. Its good to finally meet you?"
"Im guessing your, A.B. How do you know Me?" Flash asks fear clear in his voice.
"Oh I know a lot of thing's, especially about what goes on at the school of yours. You need not worry or fear us. we have a common goal." A.B spoke softly as she took a couple of steps towards the window looking out at the moon.
"Who are you guys?" He asks more confused then ever.
"My apologies. I am Anita Blake and we are The Shadow's of Mankind. Vampire hunters. And there are Vampires at your School." Anita says looking back at Flash pulling her mask down and taking off the hood revealing her face.
"There always something at that school." Flash retorted with eye roll and a sigh.
"You don't seem very surprised?" Anita asks confused.
"Lady I fell in love with a pony princess from another dimension filled with other ponies. Not to mention her dog was actually a dragon and then our school was attacked by sea sirens who wanted to take over the school. So Vampires aren't exactly out there in terms of what we have had to deal with." Flash replied with deadpan expression.
Anita looked back out the window. "Be that as it may, these Vampires aren't from Equestria. They have been here a very long time, my Mum and Dad were killed by the ratcheted beasts. And ever since then I pledged my life to wiping their putrid scum off of this earth, I tried day and night until couldn't stand. Luckily all the standard things work, Wooden stakes, crossbows and holy water of course, its what we dip our swords in. The only thing that doesn't seem to effect them is the sun and garlic it just doesn't have any effect. its then that found others like me and we formed The shadows of mankind we work with out the public's knowledge. We work in secret"
"Does this Anon and Sunset are Vampires?" Flash ask as he connects the dots in his head.
"Anon, yes and so is his little girlfriend Fluttershy. But I have sources that tell me Sunset hasn't been turned yet." Anita replied.
"Well why don't you walk in and take them both?" Flash asks confused that if she knew so much why hasn't she done anything yet.
"That would cause complications not to mention reveal us to the world. We must be subtle and that's where you come in." Anita walked over to flash looking him in the eye. "We need your help and we promise you that you will have your revenge."
Flash didn't reply at first he put all as thought it over before making a decision. "How could I say no to a deal like that."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The following morning Everyone met up in the library to discuss what Sunset and Anon saw. Sunset paced back and though as everyone searched through the books looking for answers. "She was definitely doing something to the statue, or was going to."
"Do you think she came from the portal?" Fluttershy asks curious.
"No I would of noticed, I think she was from over here." Sunset replied.
"Well that's a relief." Applejack add. she lent back on her chair with her feet on the table. "The last thing we need is another magic so and so bent on world domination coming over from Equestria." The farmgirl winked making Sunset smile.
"Agreed." Rarity turned around from looking at the book shelf. "I have no interest in fighting the powers of evil magic. The were and tear on my wardrobe is too much too keep up with." With that Rarity turned back to looking at the books.
"Still a mysterious figure snooping around the portal. Don't you want to what she was up too?" Sunset asks smiling brightly as her excitement grew.
"I don't even want to guess." Fluttershy replied acting scared causing Sunset's eyes to roll at her over dramatic reaction. Knowing the real Fluttershy made her shy actions to keep true self a secret, just annoying and she didn't know how Anon didn't get annoyed by it.
Suddenly Rainbow and Anon come running around the corner with a big smile on both of their faces. "Well you don't have to because I totally figured out who it was."
"You figured it out?" Anon says in a judging tone glaring at Rainbow.
"Okay we found it, mostly me though." Rainbow coughed as Anon narrowed his at the athlete.
"I know Was it a night time statue cleaner. A Magical portal maintainer, A Gardener." Pinkie asks in her overly excited manner.
Rainbow just looked unimpressed by the curly haired pink girl she just continued to talk about what they found. "Seeing how they got off bus from the city and got back on a bus heading to the city. I'll bet they go to Chrystal Prep." Everyone announced with the same amount of annoyance. "Yep. What with the friendship games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wonder Colts statue."
Sunset was just puzzled by this. "Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?"
"Because the Chrystal Preps Shadow Bolts are our biggest rivals." Applejack replied annoyed her arms crossed.
"Because that's just what students at Chrystal Prep would do." Rarity added.
"Because they beat us at everything. Soccer, tennis, golf. still have to gloat." Rainbow showed Sunset the image of the wonder colts statue dressed up as a clown.
"See when they did that my only question was how did they get the clown shoes on?" Anon asks causing Rainbow, Applejack and Rarity glare at him. "What it would of been difficult." That made Sunset and Fluttershy smile and chuckle slightly.
Sunset pushed the book out his face. "This all seems kind of silly to me."
"SILLY!" Everyone shouted annoyed. Everyone except Anon that is.
"To be honest I didn't really care about any of this either." Anon admitted, getting shocked gasps in return.
"Anon how could you say that?" Rarity asked leading to Anon shrugging reply.
"So I guess you both think the friendship games are silly too?" Rainbow asks slightly disappointed.
"Well its not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic. " Sunset replied shrugging.
"No we'll be fighting a school full of meanies. It doesn't have to be magical to be magical to be important." Fluttershy retort think back to her own problems. But things likes this made Fluttershy feel better she got to focus on something else.
"Your right, I know its a big deal." Even thought sunset said this she didn't really feel like she meant it. Fighting a school of other kids just wasn't interesting and she didn't really care.
"That's putting it mildly, darling. They're still revamping the sports field in preparation." Rarity says adding on to how much of big deal the friendship games were.
"What I don't understand aren't the friendship games supposed to be about our two schools getting along?" Sunset asks confused.
"Well its kind of hard to get along with someone who beats you at everything." Applejack admitted before Rainbow threw the book out Applejacks hand.
"Not anymore, this time things gonna be different." Rainbow said with confidence.
"What do you mean?" Sunset asks intrigued by the athlete.
"Oh you'll find out." Rainbow answers smile confidently.
"Bit ominous." Anon said making Sunset giggle cutting the tension.
It was then that the bell rang signalling for lesson to start, this caused everyone to pack away library books quickly not want to be late for class. Anon walk Fluttershy lesson giving her quick kiss before running off to Sunset. Suddenly Anon gets pull back by someone into a dark shadowy corner, he turns around to see Sunset smiling cutely at him, only for him to return the smile back. She pushed him back into the wall kissing him deeply after while it stop with both of them needing air.
"I still think that she was doing something more vandalism to the statue." Sunset said with her arms wrapped around Anon neck as he wrapped his arms around her midriff.
"I know and I do too, I thought she seemed to be examine the portal." Anon replied think back to yesterday.
"So did I, its so good to hear you say this." Sunset leaned for another quick kiss. "We need to find out who and what she was up to?"
"Okay, im sure we can find out together." He nodded.
"My thoughts exactly, also for tonight I was thinking an anime marathon?" She suggested changing topic of conversation.
"Sounds good, lets order takeaway too?" He add at the thought Chinese food.
"Great. Sounds like a plan." They were about to lean in for another kiss when Principal Celestia voice came through the speakers.
All students to the sports hall immediately.
"What do you think that's about?" Sunset asks worried.
"In all honesty probably about the Friendship games" Anon sighed "Come on we better go."
Anon and Sunset made their way over to the Sports hall and found seats next to their friends at the back of the hall. Usually Anon would gone over and sat next to Fluttershy but he stayed with Sunset. Since what happened during the summer holiday he has been doing a much better job of giving both Sunset and Fluttershy equal amounts of time.
It wasn't long before Principle Celestia and Vice Principle luna stepped out on to the stage. "As im sure you all know tomorrow Canterlot High School will be hosting be hosting our fellow students from Chrystal Prep Academy. As we join together in the spirt of excellence, sportsmanship and fidelity, to compete in the Friendship Games." Principle Celestia announced, leading to everyone in hall giving out half arsed claps and cheers since no one really cares about the Games. "Since the games only happen every four years, Im sure your all curious what goes on?"
This led to Flash Sentry to stand up and shout out. "Other then us losing!"
Anon rolled his at that and smirk "Well you should know all about losing Flash." This made everyone in the hall causing him to mutter something and sit back down angrily.
The principles were not amused by this but Principle Celestia continued talking anyway. "That is why I asked Rainbow Dash to come up and give you all a little... um, Context."
It was at this point Rainbow grabbed the mic off of the Principle. "Thank you Principle Celestia." The athlete continued to clear her throat before talking. "I know a lot of you might think there's no way we could beat a fancy school like Chrystal Prep at anything."
It was at this moment Pinkie shouted out. "UNLESS ITS A LOSING TO CHRSTYAL PREP COMPATTION, COS WERE REALLY GOOD AT THAT!"
This made Rainbow sigh with annoyance. "And I know That CHS has never one the friendship games even once."
Anon raised an eye brow at Rainbow's speech and lead over to Sunset whispering in her ear. "This the worse motivational Speech I've ever heard ever!" Sunset smirked at that.
But then music started to play as Rainbow continued to talk. "Chrystal Prep student's are super athletic, super smart and super motivated. But there's one thing they aren't , They aren't Wonder Colts!" The curtain lifted up to reveal a marching band. It was then at that Moment Rainbow began to sing. She sang with all her might as she started to sing about all what Canterlot High had done and all the evil magic the school defeated. From out of no where Vinyl Scratch plugged her sound board into the speakers, giving the song a whole new kind of kick. Anon and the girls were amazed by Rainbows song and it wasn't long before everyone clapping and singing along with it even the Principles. And just as we thought it could get any more Amazing Rainbow began to pony up much to Anon and the girls surprise. The song had definitely pumped up the school spirts and the games seemed more possible wining then ever before.
After the song and everyone had left Anon and the girls met up with Rainbow back stage. "Rainbow Dash That was amazing! even I feel like we can win." Fluttershy announced with enough excitement that she didn't give herself away.
"I feel like my school pride is at an all time high!" Rarity conveyed with excitement.
"Ya really did knock it out of the park there Dash, now even im really starting to care if we win or not." Anon said with a massive smile on his face.
"Is anybody else wondering how Dash pony'd up without playing her guitar?" Applejack asks confused.
"I know right, its probably because im so awesome." Rainbow answered with huge amounts of excitement.
"Maybe... I mean you are awesome but there's got to be more to it then that. right? It just seems so random." Sunset thought aloud.
Unknown to them Vice Principle Luna was just behind them. "Well it would be nice if you girls could get a handle on it."
"There's also boy you know, that it matters." Anon sighed.
"Sorry, but it would be nice if you girls and boy, kept magic away from the friendship Games, we don't want to be accused of cheating." Luna advice her tone serious.
"We don't need magic to defeat those hoity toity Chrystal Preppers." Rarity announced causing everyone to agree.
"Still the Friendship games are serious business, we don't want any surprises, especially the kind that could cause us to forfeit. Sunset you came here from a world of magic perhaps you can get to the bottom of this?" Luna asks hopeful.
"Ill do my best." Sunset answers and luna seemed happy enough with that and nodded before leaving.
Rainbow and the rest of the girls began to start theorising about what the games could consist of. "I really want to help, but I think better focus on why Rainbow Dash pony'd up."
"Want any help?" Anon asks innocently.
"Yeah sure an extra bit of help would always be useful." Sunset nodded smiling.
Anon gave Fluttershy a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving with Sunset "See ya guys."
Pinkie and the girls smile wide as they watch Anon and Sunset walk off together to go and figure out how to control the magic. "It seem as though they've got it all under control."
