"So how exactly is this going to work?" you asked as Twilight led you out of Ponyville towards the Everfree Forest.
"Well, we have a friend who is really good with animals, and maybe she can teach you" Twilight said and a small cottage appear over the horizon.
"But what does that have to do with working on an apple farm?" you asked, stopping where you were.
"It is a farm you know. Farms have animals on them" Twilight said while giving you a confused look.
"Oh, yeah, I guess you're right" you said quietly as you trotted back to her side. A few more minutes of walking and the two of you arrived at the cottage you had seen before. Upon closer inspection you noticed countless animals running around on the inside, and a few outside, and you wondered what kind of pony would live in those conditions. Twilight knocked on the door while you looked at the animals, but your attention was very quickly changed to the pony that lived in the cottage.
"Fluttershy, we need your help" Twilight said as she nodded in your direction, "We need to make sure he's good with animals"
"Oh, um, okay, well, um, I'm Fluttershy" Fluttershy said, her voice getting quieter the more she spoke.
"Oh, I'm, uh..." you said, your voice also getting quieter. You were dumbstruck by how beautiful the mare standing in the door was. Her golden coat and pink mane were beautifully maintained, her eyelashes were amazing styled, and her shyness made your heart flutter. Maybe that's why they call her Fluttershy, you thought to yourself, noticing how good her body looked while you tried to compose yourself. When you got back to her face you noticed she was doing the same, and when your eyes met the two of you looked away as fast as possible.
"Uh, guys, what are you doing?" Twilight asked, her gaze switching between the two of you.
"P-please come in" Fluttershy said, trying to avoid eye contact. She walked back into her house, Twilight in tow, while you just stared at her, amazed by her beauty. Before you could snap out of it you felt somepony hit your arm, and when you looked Rainbow Dash was floating next to you, grinning.
"Better get going Romeo" she joked.
"Sure..." you said, still mesmerized by Fluttershy. You slowly walked into the house, making sure you didn't step on any animals, as you had seen a family of squirrels run past the door before you walked through it. After you got inside you looked around for where Fluttershy and Twilight had gone, and saw the two of them sitting on a couch together. Again you were stunned by Fluttershy's beauty, standing in the doorway while looking at her.
"You better control yourself Romeo, she has a wicked bite" Rainbow whispered into your ear, causing you to come back to reality. You shook your head to make sure you could think straight and walked over to the other couch in the room, taking a seat only to be quickly joined by Rainbow Dash.
"Why are you sitting here?" you asked, knowing there was a seat open near the girls.
"Making sure you don't do anything weird" Rainbow said, nodding towards Fluttershy, causing you to turn red. You quickly hid your face, hoping that Fluttershy didn't see it, but it was too late.
"A-are you okay?" Fluttershy asked, hovering in front of you.
"Y-yeah, it's fine" you said, still looking at the floor.
"Oh, okay..." Fluttershy said somewhat sadly, causing Rainbow to poke you in the ribs.
"I think she wanted to be alone with you" Rainbow whispered into your ear, making you turn a darker shade of red. You kept your head down, but you did hear Rainbow get off the couch and say something to Twilight. You quickly looked up to see what was going on and saw the two of them leaving the cottage, leaving you alone with Fluttershy. The two of you just sat there, not saying or doing anything for around an hour. You had begun to feel your eyelids droop, and you finding it hard to keep your eyes open. Curses, why is this couch so comfortable?!, you shouted inside your head as you fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, Choco!" Fluttershy said as you got closer to her.
"Oh Fluttershy!" you said as you embraced her. The two of you were madly in love, kissing for long periods of time, not wanting it to ever stop. It was perfect, there was nothing but love between the two of you. It was like a dream...
THUD
"Son of a bi-" you began to say as you opened your eyes, finding yourself on the floor of Fluttershy's cottage. You quickly looked around to figure out what time it was. Midnight, you thought as you saw the moon high in the sky, Was I really asleep that long?.
"Eep!" you heard somepony squeak from behind you, followed by a smash. When you turned around you saw Fluttershy cowering slightly, a tea cup broken on the floor.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" you said as you moved to pick up the broken cup. You heard Fluttershy mumble something, but she said it too quietly for you to figure out what she said, so you quickly rushed into what you assumed was the kitchen with the pieces of the cup in your hooves. It wasn't easy finding her garbage can, seeing as it was nearly pitch black in her kitchen, but you found it, and you tossed the pieces in. After making sure no pieces had fallen on the floor you headed back to the main room, finding Fluttershy talking to a little white bunny, who looked very angry.
You looked around the area where the cup had fallen, once again making sure there were no pieces that could cut anypony on the floor, when you heard Fluttershy talk about you to the bunny.
"Angel please, he's a nice stallion, don't be so mean to him" she said, obviously not knowing you were in the room. You looked at her and the bunny, but then decided to try and hide so you could find out what Fluttershy felt about you when you felt something stab into your hoof. Your instinctively looked at where the pain originated from, only to see part of the cup lodged into your front right hoof.
"Oh dear, what is it Angel?" you heard Fluttershy say as you heard a thumping noise come closer to your hiding spot. You looked up to see the bunny looking at you angrily, pointing at you as though you had committed a crime of sorts. A few seconds later you saw Fluttershy poke her head around the corner, squeaking when she saw your bloody hoof.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Fluttershy said as she picked you up, nearly throwing you onto one of the couches. She quickly flew away and came back a moment later with a first aid kit. She pushed you onto your back and straddled you, forcing you to stay still. After you stopped struggling she pulled a pair of tweezers out of the kit and began to pull on the piece that was in your hoof. The two of you watched in horror as a large chunk of the cup came out of your hoof, nearly as big as the bunny, and blood flowed out of your hoof, getting her bloody in the process. She expertly wrapped a bandage around the would while simultaneously disinfecting it. You gritted your teeth in pain, trying your hardest to not buck her off.
"There, all better" Fluttershy said, sounding exhausted, as she lightly kissed your hoof, causing you to turn dark red. A few seconds later she turned red as well, obviously now realizing what she just did.
"Thanks, Fluttershy" you said quietly.
"It was no problem" Fluttershy said as she looked at you, her face very close to yours. The two of you brought your mouths close together, about to kiss, when there was a loud tapping noise from the front of the couch. You looked down and saw the bunny known as Angel tapping his foot very quickly, obviously not liking what was happening.
"Shoo!" you whispered, hoping Fluttershy wouldn't hear you, but Angle stay there, tapping his foot furiously.
"What is it Angel dear?" Fluttershy asked, her voice wavering slightly. The bunny pointed at you and then her, and shook his head. He obviously didn't want you to get close to Fluttershy. Fluttershy quickly got off of you, looking very embarrassed, but you didn't want a little bunny messing up your chance. You got off the couch and walked towards Angel, making yourself as big as possible.
"Now listen here!" you said as you pointed a hoof at him. Angel quickly punched the hoof that was in his face, and unluckily for you, it happened to be the hoof Fluttershy had just wrapped up. You quickly passed out from the pain and fell to the floor, your last sight being the bunny's triumphant grin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You woke up slowly, feeling somewhat nauseous, and you opened your eyes so you could find out where you were. A quick look and you knew you were still at Fluttershy's cottage, made obvious by the way the room looked and the number of animal noises you could hear. You noticed a clock on the wall saying that it was still before dawn, and you were about to get up when you felt something tug on your foreleg. You looked next to you and saw Fluttershy sleeping on top of the bed sheets, hugging your arm tight. You nearly passed out again from the cuteness, but you managed to stay awake as you laid back down, not wanting the moment to end. You were about to get closer to Fluttershy when you felt something tug on your other leg.
It was Angel, and he looked angry. Before you could react you were pulled out of the bed and tossed against the wall, waking Fluttershy up. She got up slowly, rubbing her eyes before she noticed you in a heap on the floor, Angel staring at you with eyes full of hate.
"Angel bunny!" Fluttershy said as she flew in front of you, staring at the bunny. Angel looked defiantly at her for a few seconds before his face lost all emotion. He slowly turned around and left the room, reminding you of a zombie that you had seen in a movie. After Angel was out of the room Fluttershy turned around and began to freak out.
"Oh dear, oh no..." she kept repeating as she looked you over. You tried to get up when you felt a sharp pain in your wings, you looked at the to figure out what was wrong when you saw that they were twisted and bending the wrong way. You tried to move them but they stayed still, you quickly got to your hooves and started to limp towards the door, hoping to make it to the hospital before you passed out from the pain. You looked back to Fluttershy who was staring at you in horror, only to notice a trail of blood going from where you hit the wall to where you were standing. When you looked back at your wings again you saw a large section of bone showing out of the right one, and the left one looked like someone had taken a hammer to it.
"Wait, don't move!" Fluttershy said, suddenly shooting into action. She quickly grabbed the first aid kit again and began to wrap up your wings. When she finished she pulled your injured hoof over her neck and began to pull you towards the door. Within minutes you were outside while Fluttershy talked to the animals, trying to get them to help her. Apparently she really was good with animals as she soon had a large group of birds lifting you onto her back. As she took off, utilizing some sort of superpony strength, a handful of the birds let go, leaving an eagle, a falcon, and an owl to help Fluttershy carry you.
"Thanks Fluttershy..." you said as you passed out, not able to fight the pain any longer.
