Chapter 18

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was an exciting day in Ponyville. The townsponies where all gathered for a rare event. This was the day the Breezies where passing through. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Spike where hiding back in the crowd. Rainbow, Rarity and Pinkie Pie had talked with her. Applejack still refused to come near here. Finally, Rainbow whispered to Sunset.

"Everypony, please welcome the Breezies." whispered Sunset.

The ponies watched amazed as the Breezies passed by.

"It's so amazing." said Twilight softly.

"I never got to study the Breezies when I was Celestia's pupil." said Sunset softly.

Neither of them noticed Spike climbing a nearby tree to see better. Spike accidentally caused a leaf to break off separating the Breezies into two groups.

"We need to slow down the breeze so the other group can catch up." said Rainbow.

"It won't work. We can't slow the breeze down enough for the other group to catch up." replied Thunderlane.

"What if we speed the breeze up?" asked Rainbow.

"Then it'll be going to fast and the other group won't be able to catch up." answered Flitter.

The Breezie screamed in their language until one was separated.

"Aah!" cried Fluttershy.

Fluttershy took off and used her body to stop the Breezie from being blown away.

"Now to the save the others." thought Fluttershy.

Seabreeze was calling out trying to give commands to the others.

"He's right! Try and stay close to each other!" cried Fluttershy.

The other Breezies surrounded Fluttershy and where saved as the breeze died down.

"That was amazing!" declared Sunset.

Fluttershy landed and the Breezies left her side as the ponies cheered. Seabreeze asked a question in the Breezie language.

"Oh. I understand the language of all kinds of creatures." answered Fluttershy.

"Oh, you understand my language." said Fluttershy amazed.

"I can. This lot can only understand you. Clearly, they're not the brightest lot around." explained Seabreeze.

The Breezies angrily replied to this.

"That was amazing!" cried Pinkie.

The others came over though Twilight stayed back.

"I'm sorry we couldn't get a breeze going so they could get back together." said Rainbow apologetically.

"It's not your fault." said Fluttershy.

"What you did was really heroic." said Sunset.

"I feel like I should design you a hero's gown." said Rarity.

The fashionista thought a moment.

"Or a sash. At least a sash." said Rarity.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" cried Spike.

The baby dragon ran over to the group.

"I know what you're all thinking! Why don't you just say it?! I'm sorry!" cried Spike.

Spike threw himself at Fluttershy's hooves and sobbed.

"This is all my fault! I'm so, so, sorry!" sobbed Spike.

"Oh Spike. It could have happened to anyone of us." said Fluttershy.

"Thank you! Thank you!" exclaimed Spike.

Spike hugged Fluttershy gratefully as the Breezies began to yell in their language. Spike walked away.

"I'm just going to stay over here." said Spike.

"Fluttershy, you want to us to get the breeze going again so these little guys can get a move on?" asked Rainbow.

The terrified Breezies surrounded Fluttershy.

"Maybe we should wait a minute or so. These poor things have been through so much." answered Fluttershy.

"Just give me the word when you think they're ready." shrugged Rainbow.


Fluttershy lead the Breezies back to her cottage. Every pony had dispersed allowing for a quiet trip. The Breezies quickly made themselves at home in the cottage. This was except for Seabreaze who was anxious to get going. However, Fluttershy was catering to the Breezie so they didn't want to go. As she gave one Breezie a hoof-knitted sweater, the door popped open.

"Hey, can we come in?" asked Applejack.

Fluttershy saw Applejack and Sunset at the door.

"Sure." answered Flutteshy.

The two entered, but Fluttershy simply stopped them.

"But watch your step." warned Fluttershy.

Applejack looked down and realized she almost stepped on a Breezie.

"Sorry about that little one." said Applejack.

The Breezie quickly flew taking refuge behind Fluttershy.

"We just wanted to see if you think the Breezies are ready to give it another try." said Sunset.

"Has it been an hour already?" asked Flutterhsy surprised.

Fluttershy walked to the window.

"Time does fly when you're making sure little creature know you aren't abandoning them to the cruel world." said Fluttershy.

"But, they're not going to a cruel world. They going home." noted Sunset confused.

"Oh! That's right!" realized Fluttershy.

The Breezies began protesting and swarmed Fluttershy.

"On second thought, I don't think they're ready." said Fluttershy.

Seabreeze yelled back a response in the Breezie language.

"What did he say?" asked Applejack.

"Um, I'd rather not say." answered Fluttershy blushing.

"Okay. Well, we'll take your word for it." said Applejack.

AJ and Sunset began leaving.

"Nopony knows more about magical creatures then you." said Fluttershy.

"Thanks. I'll be in touch soon." replied Fluttershy.


The Element of Kindness shut the door. As Fluttershy talked with the Breezies, Sunset and Applejack left. The two split up and Applejack went to Sweet Apple Acres. Sunset passed through Ponyville and returned to Golden Oaks Library. Sunset went inside where Spike was sweeping with a broom. Twilight walked down the stairs happy to see Sunset return.

"Have the Breezies returned home?" asked Twilight.

Sunset shook her head.

"Fluttershy said they're not ready." answered Sunset.

"But, they have to go home." noted Twilight.

"It's Fluttershy's call." shrugged Spike.

"Are we sure she had the best interest of Breezies at heart?" asked Twilight.

Sunset and Spike where surprised by this.

"How was she acting?" asked Twilight.

"Outside, I heard her ask if any Breezie needed a hoof-knitted sweater." answered Sunset.

Sunset rubbed her chin with her leg.

"Plus she said she didn't want to abandon the Breezies in a cruel word." added Sunset.

Sunset slapped her face with her hoof.

"How in Celestia did I miss it?" asked Sunset.

"Don't beat yourself up." replied Spike.

"I would have fallen for the same." admitted Twilight.

"So, what do we do?" asked Spike.

"I think we should give her a little more time. She is our friend." answered Sunset.

"I agree." said Twilight.

Sometime later, a knock came on the door. Spike answered and Rainbow Dash entered.

'Um, Fluttershy still doesn't think the Breezies are ready to go." noted Rainbow concerned.

"We're starting to think she might not want them to go." revealed Sunset.

"Yeah. I believe it." said Rainbow.

Rainbow wasn't surprised by her marefriend's at all.

"So, what do we do?" asked Rainbow.

"Well, we where giving her time." answered Sunset.

"I don't think that's gonna work." replied rainbow.

"Yeah." sighed Sunset.

Sunset thought for a moment.

"I don't know what to do." admitted Sunset.

"We gotta think of something." said Rainbow.

"I'll talk to her." offered Twilight.


Twilight took a sigh and left Golden Oaks Library. Twilight walked through Ponyville making her way to Fluttershy's cottage. Twilight ignored the glares and whispers she got from other ponies. Once she arrived, Twilight knocked and Angel answered the door. Angel revealed revealed Fluttershy wasn't here and pointed Twilight in the direction she went. Twilight walked off and found Fluttershy with the Breezies.

"Thank you. Thank you for saving me." said Seabreeze.

"Ponyville is such a dangerous place for you." said Fluttershy.

"Something as small as an acorn can pose a threat." said Twilight.

Fluttershy turned and cried in terror.

"I'm not here to hurt you." said Twilight firmly.

"Then...why are you here?" asked Fluttershy terrified.

"To talk to you about the Breezies." answered Twilight.

"I can't let them go!" declared Fluttershy.

Fluttershy pointed her hoof at Seabreeze.

"Look at what could happen!" exclaimed Fluttershy.

"I would be fine I we could go." said Seabreeze.

"No you wouldn't." replied Fluttershy worried.

Fluttershy landed on her hooves.

"There are dangerous things out there like bees, Ursa Minors, Ursa Majors, Manticores, Cockatrices, dragons and evil unicorns..." said Fluttershy.

Fluttershy trailed off off realizing what she said.

"Twilight..." began Fluttershy softly.

"I understand." replied Twilight.

Fluttershy adverted her gaze.

"Ponyville is very dangerous." agreed Seabreeze.

"Good." said Flutteshy relieved.

"That is why I am trying to get us home!" cried Seabreeze.

"Oh my." gasped Fluttershy.

"I was just trying not to hurt anycreature's feelings. My act of kindness may have coast you everything." said Fluttershy guilty.

Twilight cautiously walked over.

"It's not your fault." said Twilight.

Fluttershy suddenly gasped.

"Time is running out." said Fluttershy worried.

"That is what I've been saying! But none of them listen to me! No Breezie ever listens to me!" exclaimed Seabreeze.

"I know you are worried. But, it's hard for them to listen when you're being loud and mean." noted Fluttershy.

"A gentler approach might help." agreed Twilight.

"The message doesn't get across." stated Fluttershy.

"But what about the bees?" asked Seabreeze, "You weren't nice to them and they listened."

"Yes, but they had to go. They wouldn't listen to me any other way." explained Fluttershy.

Fluttershy saw a rainbow.

"We need to go. Now." said Fluttershy determined.


The group departed and returned to the cottage. They finally got the remaining Breezies to depart. The rest of the Mane 6 (or 7) followed them to their leaving point. Using a spell she learned from Twilight, Sunset turned them into Breezies and they followed the group. After they finished, the ponies returned to ponies and went their separate ways. The next morning, Twilight and Sunset where relaxing in Golden Oaks Library when a knock came on the door.

"Spike, can you get that." requested Twilight.

"No problem." replied Spike.

The baby dragon walked to the door and answered it.

"Um, hello Spike." said Fluttershy.

"Sunset, Fluttershy is here!" called Spike.

"Actually, I'm here to see Twilight." revealed Fluttershy.

The two unicorns and baby dragon gave the pegasus a surprised look.

"Come in." said Twilight softly.

Fluttershy came in and Spike closed the door behind her.

"What's up?" asked Twilight gently.

"I wanted to apologize." answered Fluttershy.

"Flutter..." began Twilight.

"I've been a bad friend ever since you where released." said Fluttershy upset.

"Don't beat yourself up." requested Twilight.

"How can't I?!" asked Fluttershy devastated.

Twilight, Sunset and Spike where surprised by a how emotional Fluttershy was.

"I've been so horrible and you never tried to be mean." said Fluttershy aching.

Tears began to stream down the cheeks of Fluttershy.

"You even went out of your way to help me!" sobbed Fluttershy.

Fluttershy began sobbing.

"Please stop crying." requested Twilight.

Twilight brushed the tears out of her eyes.

"Fluttershy, I am not mad. Nothing can break our friendship." said Twilight.

Fluttershy hugged Twilight.

"Thank you!" cried Fluttershy gratefully.

"It's okay." replied Twilight.
