Why is Fluttershy So Shy?
Chapter 23: Chapter Twenty-Three. Baby Shower.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt had been a good few weeks since the Friendship games and Twilight was starting to settle in at CHS. Flash has kept trying his luck with Twilight, but Anon and the girls had warned her about Flash all the thing's he's done. Making sure she stays well enough away from him. Sunset and Anon announced their break up to the group gaining a mixed reaction, but no one really seemed too upset for them. Their friends reaction didn't really surprise the bacon haired girl, she was the add on to what was a perfect relationship and now that she had been cut off it was perfect again. But there was no hard feelings between Sunset and Anon they were making it work as just being friends and besides she had her eyes set on someone else.
It was now late November and special day for Fluttershy and Anon, they had party planned by The Pink Party Girl. But it wasn't just any party, it was a baby shower and everyone was looking forward to it. Fluttershy was the first to wake up and find the room in unusual state. She reached over to Anon, shaking him gently. "Um... Anon."
Anon only budged a small bit, muttering in his sleep. "If you know where to get the jam sandwiches, show me."
Fluttershy looked at her boyfriend oddly before she shouted loudly trying to waking him up. "ANON!"
This seemed to work as Anon and sat straight up, but proceed to freak out. "What!? Are you okay? Oh my god your having the baby aren't! OH GOD ITS HAPPENING!" He buried his face into his hands.
"No Dummy." Fluttershy smiles hitting Anon's arm. "Look at our room."
Anon removed his hands looking at his bedroom. It was covered in multi-coloured streamers, balloons and confetti, it was clearly the work of The Pink Party Girl. Anon grabbed one of the balloons seeing it had something written on the side of it. "Happy Baby Shower Day!" This made Anon chuckle. "How did she do this with out waking us up?"
"Its Pinkie. How does she do anything." Fluttershy shrugs.
He couldn't help but smile and nod at that. Anon noticed a note on the inside of the bedroom door and with a yawn and stretch, he got out of bed to look at it. Just from looking at the write he knew it was from Pinkie, firstly it was written in pink crayon and secondly it was very messy.
Hello my super duper soon to be undead parents, you need to be at Sugarcube Corner at 12 o'clock and don't be late! Seriously don't be late Twi will all get huffy and worry. - Your local Pink Party Girl, Pinkie Pie.
P.S Have you decided on a name yet? I kinda need to know. For no reason what so ever.... Smiles.
"What does the note say?" Fluttershy asks curious what was written.
Anon walks over to Fluttershy and helps her get out of bed. "Nothing much, we just have to be at the Sugarcube by 12."
"At least that gives us a bit of time. Shall we have some breakfast?" Fluttershy ask sweetly.
"That sounds perfect, I'll make some o negative Pancakes."

Sunset was already up, dressed in warm winter clothing as the cold wind cut through the sky. She was on her way over to Sweet Apple Acres, she had got a text last night from Applejack asking if she could visit early morning. The cow girl wouldn't exactly say why, but it saved her from waiting around in empty house so it she couldn't complain. After a couple weeks from braking up with Anon, She had started looking for a partner and found it in the most unlike place. Though the girl didn't know it yet, she would do soon as Sunset was just finding the courage to ask her out. But that could wait a farm girl needed her help and she wasn't about to turn her down.
She waked up to the house in Sweet Apple Acres, knocking quite hard on the door, harder then she meant to. She came face to face annoyed Big Macintosh. "Sorry I didn't mean to knock that hard." Big Mac stayed quite waiting for a reason why she was knocking so early. Feeling awkward by the silence Sunset just continued to talk. "Applejack asked me to come down, do you know where she is?"
"In the Barn." Big Mac closed the door after that, he was a man of so few words.
Sunset head straight for the barn, pushing the doors open. "Applejack?" she called out into the dimly lit barn.
Applejack had just finished feeding the horse before turning to see Sunset behind her. "Hey there Sunset, Im glad ya could make it."
Sunsets walk into the barn getting out of the cold, it wasn't that much warmer in the barn but it was better then nothing. "Its no problem, did you need me to help you out with some farm work before the party?"
"Not exactly I need ya advice." Applejack took a seat on a bale of hay.
"What's up?" Sunset sat down next to her friend ready to listen.
"I feel bad asking you since you having just broke up with Anon in all, But im desperate." Applejack took a deep breath letting all her secrets tumble out. "I like Rarity and I don't know how to tell her. Im nothing like all those fancy boys she likes, but I just cant help it her generous nature and beauty has me head over a barrel for her. And I need help."
Sunset sat there for a while in silence as she was taking in what AJ had just told her, trying to think up a plan to help her. " Christmas is coming up soon and you could leave her gifts in her locker as mystery admirer."
"Oh that's good... But what if she notices my hand writing?" Applejack asks worried
"Type it out on the computer using the most fanciest font." Sunset replied quicker then ever.
"Wow Sunset ya really good at this. Is there anyone ah can set ya up with? I know you broke up a while ago but you don't deserve to be alone." Applejack said, smiling softly.
"Well now that you mention it." Sunset then leaned over, whispering into Applejacks ear all about her crush and who she wants to be with.
"Ah see what ah can do." The farm girl said with a wink. "Now we better head over to Sugar Cube Corner and help out with the decorations."
Sunset nodded at this before getting off they hay. "I hope we get there quick its cold and my hands are freezing."

Anon sat on the sofa playing on his console as Fluttershy was laying next to him, her head rest on his leg as she read a book to do with baby names. "What about Charming Wind for a boy?"
Anon took a moment to think about the name. "I don't know sounds a too silly and flowery."
This took Fluttershy back to the book once more. "How about Breezy Dusk if its a girl."
Anon's eyes open wide at the sound of the name. "That's quite beautiful." He admitted.
"I Thought so." Fluttershy smiles sweetly.
As nice as the moment was, it couldn't last, it wasn't long before there was a knock on the door making Anon sigh. "That'll be them." He turned off his games console before putting the pad on the table.
"What's the matter you don't sound happy?" Fluttershy asks as Anon gently helps her up.
"Its just I wished this wasn't made into a big thing, I would rather kept it small and between us. ya know?" Anon admitted, standing up as he stretched his arms and wings before transforming into his human form.
Fluttershy did the same and transformed back into her human form only this time she left the baby bump showing "I understand, but our friends needed to know and they're only being supportive. Its better then alternative of them hunting us down like monsters. To be honest we all knew pinkie was going to do this. So lets just get through today shall we. Tomorrow we can spend the day all alone, just us."
This made Anon smile. "Sounds perfect."
They made their way to the door finding Rarity waiting Patiently on the other side. "Hello Darling's I'm here to escort you to your first baby shower."
"First?!" Anon wasn't sure on having a second baby, this made Fluttershy frown. "Oh no not like that Flutterbat, l just mean I don't think I'm ready for a second baby just yet. I'm not eve sure how to look after the first one." He Explained making Fluttershy smile knowing he was up for the idea.
Anon locked the door behind them before they head out walking to Sugar Cube Corner. "Oh it will come to you darling natural fatherly instincts will kick in, but this does bring me to my next question. How will you deal with a baby and cope with school at the same time?" Rarity asks curious if they had a plan in place or if they were just winging it at this point .
"Well we was hoping Princess Twilight could help us out. Last time she was here we asked her it was okay to the baby in and out of the portal and she said it was fine and safe to do so we're kind of hoping the pony versions could help." Fluttershy answers as she holds Anon's hand while walked along.
"Well that sound like a fine idea darlings, it's sound as if you guy's have this covered and couldn't be happier for the both of you." Rarity smiles brightly.
It didn't take them long to reach Sugar Cube Corner, everyone else was waiting inside to start the party. It started off with a simple mingling and normal catch up before. Fluttershy sat down on the sofa as everyone gathered round to give gifts. "Who wants to go first?" Twilight asks.
"I will darling. Here, I hand made them my self." Rarity handed over to over two presents, one for each parent.
Fluttershy and Anon opened the gifts finding baby onesies, one pink and the other. They both hand stitched and crafted with the most love and care from the softest material they had ever felt. "Rarity this beautiful, I can't ever repay you." Suddenly Fluttershy began to cry as her hormones began to work in overtime.
"Oh flutters." Anon pulled out tissue from his trouser pocket, ever since she's been pregnant he's know to keep a pack of tissue on hand at all time. "Thank you Rarity, it means more then you could know."
"You are most welcome." Rarity smiles before move back to sit next to Applejack.
Gift after gift came forward. Applejack gave over a handed a home made crib, built by her and her little sister Applebloom. Rainbow gifted a Wonder Bolt blanket, Twilight gave a set children books and Pinkie made a bucket of Baby biscuits. The only one that was left was Sunset, she awkwardly made her way forward before crouching down in front of the couple. Fluttershy was drying her eyes from crying so much and this put a lot of Pressure on Sunset but she wasn't one to back down. With a quick clear of throat She was ready. "So I didn't know what to get or make after hearing everything that everyone else was getting. So I put a lot thought into it and, well... you'll see I hope you like it."
Sunset handed over a white and red box, Anon opened to find a weird starry blue cuddly bear inside. "This was my cuddle toy from when I was a foal in equestria. It's called an Ursa Minor and it the was the only thing I took with me from my past."
"We cant take this-" But before Anon could say anymore, Sunset spoke up.
"Please take it. You two are the kindest people we have ever known. Its time some kindness was given back to you both." Sunset said smiling warmly.
"We don't know what to say. Thank you." Anon could feel himself about to cry as the kindness from everyone was almost overwhelming.
"Group Hug!" Everyone joined in on the group hug and they had never felt strong as friends they felt as though they could take on anything the world had to throw at them.
