Chapter 2 - A Student's Heartthrob

Somewhere within Ponyville, within the outdoor premises School of Friendship, a 100m x 140m school hoof-ball field was brimming within lots of outdoor sports activities during afternoon recess, in which only one of them involved a little miniature practice version of the sport for which the field was intended for. In reality, most of the physical action consisted of rambunctious tween dragons, young prideful adult griffons and enthusiastic buff yaks looking forward to prove themselves to be the dominant buffer alpha species. For the dragons, this was a callback to their tradition of competitiveness within their hostile sulfuric and lava-ridden homelands; for the yaks, it was a brilliant idea for them to pass the time and relieve off some steam after stressing angrily over school friendship tests and quizzes. As for the griffons, it was their chance to prove to the other races that their race are not always the money-grubbing stereotype and that under the right circumstances, they too can push themselves further in both physique and charisma.

For instance, there was a lot of lifting with 100 to even 1000 tons worth of iron-cast weight plates to prove who was the strongest king of their little sports competition. Other contests also include heavy disc throwing with clay frisbees sculpted by the dragons themselves who had signed up for art classes after school. There was also the occasional log hurling and smashing competition known as "Kaberkasteknuse"*, a springtime sport pastime brought on by the yaks from their Yakyakistani homeland. The heavy logs were a courtesy gift from the other yaks who had signed up for wood shop courses as part of their extra credit courses. Finally, for their finishing touches, an olive oil wrestling competition between two creatures of different species was performed within a 5-m diameter ring, and any creature who successfully pushed their opponent off the ring was deemed the winner.

But as super competitive these griffons, yaks and dragons may be, they all took to heart about the most important lessons taught by their sports professor Miss Rainbow Dash: sportsmanship. Before the Worldwide Rebellion Incident that led to the defeat of the Villainous Trio, each of these races had been very focused on either looking out for their own self-image and pride, competing for others in the race towards the top throne of the hierarchy or stubbornly refusing to accept their own weaknesses in order to learn how to surpass their own failings. From Miss Rainbow Dash's wisdom, the buff muscular races learn to be humble about their own weaknesses in specific areas of sport, such as yaks lacking the proper appendages to throw a clay disk** or griffons lacking the proper bicep strength to lift weights of magnificent mass. But when they take lessons from their failures and become encouraged by the winners to work through those obstacles (such as spinning yourself to give the disk more momentum before throwing or lifting weights with your legs instead of your arms), all the griffons, yaks and dragons can rise to the top together and reach beyond their potential.

Of course, there were also some lesser buffed Equestrian sport athletes that exercise alongside their non-Equestrian companions, acting as student coaches to coax them into pushing pass their limits too. If they were interested in impressing the other creatures though, they would join in and compete alongside their school peers in the hopes they too will be part of the muscular macho social circle. Other athletes decided to only focus on their next upcoming buck ball match with the other school teams by practicing their adept moves in catching, blocking and passing the buck ball.

In order to make sure no accidental injuries occur among the creatures, the muscular competitive club was allowed to do their own contests on one half-side of the hoofball field, while the school buckball team was given the other half-side of the hoof ball field to continue their usual practicing sessions. To enforce the border between those two groups, a row of tall flying griffons and another terrain-grounded huge yaks acted not only as volunteer enforcers, but also as the cheering audience for both sides of the hoofball field.

Though nothing keeps the spirits up high like a shooting star much better than the occasional cheer-leading squad, wearing their sparkling violet vests and turquoise skirts as their official sports uniform. Whenever the buck ball team was down on their luck or near their brink of giving up, the cheer squad was always by their side to egg them on to push themselves to the limit. Their morale boosting prowess was all thanks to the two most popular schoolgirls in town, Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof, whose angelic valley-gal voices and slim yet busty figures bedazzled the athletes with inspiration to become the best buck ball school team in Ponyville.

Ever since their first debut in the match-up between Team School of Friendship Vs Team School of Magic, both Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof became mini-celebrities both within and outside the school body in the town of Ponyville. Every creature, mostly the young virgin male Equestrians, wanted a piece of their DD-sized chest and their slim yet voluptuous derriere, and some of the fans even came from Canterlot to gaze at their youthful teen beauty. So it was no surprise to them that they have the occasional delivery of 5-10 love letters every week or so. It was through their popular idol image that they decided to sell off homemade T-shirt, mug, poster and pillow cover merchandise to consumers both inside and outside the school premises (provided they first apply for a merchant license from the Equestrian Commerce Department first). Their source of their profitable goods were credited to their kirin friends from the merchandising and marketing club, which also took control in the manufacture, distribution and sales of Shimmy Shake's and Lighthoof's idolizing merchandise across Ponyville. Most of the profits gained from their school sales were used to hire even more teaching and counselling staff, build new dormitories to handle the growing student population or repair any damages caused by fresh newcomers who were unfamiliar with the etiquette on school grounds (e.g. no smashing in the hallways and no playing catch with expensive school property). It was thanks to their charismatic influence and charitable generosity that these two cheerleading pros became the talk of the town and perhaps even beyond.

However, that is not to say they were the absolute goddesses of beauty and charm. Though they may be popular within their local hometown, they could not compete with one of the bigger world-famous celebrities that so happened to also teach within the School of Friendship. As charming as their slim athletic figures may be, some male students in the School of Friendship had more affinity towards the thicker and curvier proportion of the feminine student population. If anypony were to be crowned the most beautiful mare in the entire school body (if not the entire world), it would be Professor Fluttershy. It was at this moment that all the male athletes, even the hardcore dragons, paused on their usual activities and gazed in wonder towards the Element of Kindness walking straight into the hoof ball field like a well-dressed runway model.

Wearing her skin-tight light leaf-green sweater, her triple K sized breasts jutted out like green delicious watermelons, as they bounce gently with each strut she took. The muscular flat-chested and small-breasted female athletes blush with embarrassment towards the high-profile staff, as well as with jealousy and anger as their boyfriends gaze motionlessly with their mouths wide open like a locked-open bear trap. Unsurprisingly, some female athletes whacked their boyfriends back to their senses with their towels, before berating them for their perverse non-contact infidelity.

Needless to say though, Professor Fluttershy's chest size was huge enough to freeze any immature and mature male with their hypnotizing jiggles, but not too large to cover her entire smooth hourglass mid-section. As much as size matters in any beauty queen competition, it is essential that all of the curves of the Equestrian female are well-represented and that the voluptuous bosoms that sag downwards do not end up covering the belly button. This factor would cause a dip down dive in attractiveness, since the belly button acted as their symmetric central point for curve craving males to evaluate on the proportions of their ideal feminine figure. Without that reference point, unless viewed from the back, the males could not evaluate whether their new female mate was slim, chubby or obese around the mid-section. Most males who looked at a female mate head on are actually most likely to gaze at the face first (even briefly), to see any signs of facial expression that determines if they were interested in the male mate himself. So even when looking from behind to be occupied on their enticing round behinds, the frontal side of the figure speaks out just as importantly as the posterior side in conveying the message of love, disinterest or mutual amicability.

And it was the kind-hearted professor's sweet smile, her glazed teal-green eyes and light pink cheeky blush that caught the eyes of every student on the hoofball field, even for a few seconds for those interested in her lower sections below her cute adorable yellow-coated face. More than that, her light pink mane was lifted graciously by the passing wind, as if the gods of nature anticipated for her arrival and decided to add dramatic effects to her momentous entrance. It was from that heart-warming facial expression alone that the boys and men on the hoofball field understood what message she was conveying: "It is very pleasing for me to see you all working so hard".

Of course, there were other physical factors (aside from the face and chest) for the male student athletes to gaze and gawk at, such as the round meaty legs and thighs that were thick as tree logs, yet they were thick around the right places for the macho boys and men to admire. As Professor Fluttershy continues to strut in the middle of the field, her knee-length skirt fluttered upwards in the wind, barely showing a slight peep at the underside of her round curvaceous derriere. It was no wonder that this former shy animal-lover and caretaker had became the most popular staff member of the School of Friendship and had consecutively won "Teacher of the Month" 40 times in a row.

This was too much for the athletic males to keep their stance together and all of them came rushing towards the beauty goddess of kindness like a rabid horde in mating season. A couple of fangirls who admired Professor Fluttershy for her upmost kindness towards cute furry critters also jumped into the ruckus to meet their idol.

"HEY, what gives?! We were JUST about to do our pyramid display!!", shouted Shimmy Shake as she was just about to leap onto the top of the pyramid of Equestrian cheerleaders.

It was no use hollering out for their attention. From the student fanbase crowd, there came out a cacophony of compliments and endearments blurted out by perverted fanboys and idol-worshiping fangirls alike.

"You SO beautiful today, Yellow Professor! Me love new sweater and dress!"

"Hello Professor Fluttershy, how are you today??! Any updates on my pet-sitting assignment?"

"May I have your autograph??! It's for my folks back home! Write it on my jockstrap, please!"

"We heard so many amazing accomplishments from your friendship journals!!"

"Do you have any space leftover for night school with you?! That is, if it's not too much trouble!"

"How do your boobs get so big??!! What's your secret?!"

"Morning, Yellow Professor! You have time for visit in cute sexy mare's office??! Me want to really tell you something quick!"

"May I take one of your pet hamsters from class home, pretty please??!! He's too adorable to be left alone in your class!"

Professor Fluttershy eventually kicked into panic mode from all the blabbering ruckus of buff stallions, mares, griffons, dragons and yaks, wanting to take a chance to speak with the Element of Kindess. Then suddenly, a certain blue and beige griffon, wearing a dark blue wrestling leotard and carrying a Polaroid camera with his talons, came barging in and started flashing at Professor Fluttershy!

"Smile for the camera, Professor!", cried the cheerful blue and beige griffon.

"Gallus!", shouted Professor Fluttershy with nervous awe, before a blinding flash of camera light temporary disorientated her as Gallus clicked the shutter button on his Polaroid camera.

"Congrats on winning your 41st 'Teacher of the Month' Award, Professor Fluttershy! You've become a top-tier celebrity all across Ponyville AND beyond!"

"This isn't the first time I experienced such fame recognition", said Professor Fluttershy in a bashfully soft-spoken manner, as her eyes continued to spin around in a daze.

"Ooooh, this is going into my auction market sale after school! I can't wait to sell this for a 1000 bits!", snickered the conniving Gallus as he held his photo close to his face.

"EVERY CREATURE! STOOOPP NOOOWW!!!!", bellowed a certain fat short nak (female yak) in a brown chuba*** as she came barging in like a raging bull towards Professor Fluttershy. Riding on top of the nak's shoulders was a yellow and orange tween horned dragon with a dark purple crest, who was wearing a purple zipper hoodie and blue ripped jeans.

"WOAH WOAH WOAH, SLOW DOWN, YONA!!! You're going to make me fall!!", shouted the orange dragon girl as she held onto Yona's thick brown hairy fur for her dear life.

"NO, Smolder! Professor Shy needs to be protected! Me protect her from horny boys and crazy girls!!", shouted Yona as she then leaped up to the sky

"FINE, whatever! Just don't hurt yourself when you fall", cried Smolder as she awaited for the upcoming signal.

"NOW, SMOLDER!", Yona shouted with determination.

Smolder then grabbed Yona by the horns and lifted her up to the sky, flying over Professor Fluttershy's head. All the students in the crowd immediately switched their gaze from the buxom beauty to the flying nak spectacle being held with all the might by a flying tween dragon.

Suddenly, Yona was dropped onto the grassy ground with magnifying fervor, causing the hoof ball field to shake like a Mach 2 earthquake. It was enough for the cheerleading pyramid to collapse and all the athletic acrobatic girls to tumble down like a pack of playing cards. Soon, the pile of Equestrian athletes was filled with a plethora of groaning pains.

As if that didn't get the attention of all the fanboys and fangirls, Smolder rushed in and breathed out a purple flaming curved firewall that separated the bemused crowd away from Professor Fluttershy, Smolder and Yona. The crowd soon awed and gasped with both amazement and anxious fear of the protective bodyguard duo.

Later on, Smolder landed onto the ground as she created a powerful downdraft from her flapping wings to put out the firewall. After posing like a super-heroine to show dominance to the male athletes, she exclaimed with a stern yet calming manner, "Listen up, you damn pervs and fru-fru fangirls! Professor Fluttershy ain't here to perform a strip show or ask you all out on a romantic date to Las Pegasus! We all know she's already engaged with the Lord of Chaos, right?"

True as it may be, that remark still made Professor Fluttershy look down and blush with sheepish anxiety.

"We here for very important manner! It urgent! No time to waste!", shouted Yona as sweats profusely with nervousness.

"Has any creature here seen a runaway rogue squirrel with huge buck teeth? He got loose from his cage when he got frustrated over not being given enough nuts in his ration.", Smolder explained to the calmed crowd. "His name is, uhhh--uhhhmmm--oh damn it, I'm already forgetting the name!".

"It's Rodriguez." Professor Fluttershy interrupted as she reminded Smolder of her pet squirrel's actual name. "I was told by the students that he had scurried off over to the school's hoof ball field. If you can--maybe--take a break from whatever you were doing and help me look for---"

Then, without a moment's notice, every athletic creature in the crowd spread out like sycophant worker ants and started hollering "RODRIGUEZ!!" all around the field, hoping to look for Fluttershy's lost pet squirrel.

"Well, THAT was easy. She didn't have to use that ominous stare!", mumbled Smolder as she stared at the scattered searching crowd with half-closed eyes and claws on her hips.

"Yona so happy students wanting to find Mister Rodriguez! Every creature in school really love furry critters!", Yona shouted excitedly as she jumped for joy, which then caused a mini-earthquake around her.

"OORRR, maybe it's because they wanted to impress the greatest teacher of all time, who happened to become Teacher of the Month for the 41st month at this wonderful century!", interrupted Gallus as he continuously waved his Polaroid photo of Fluttershy's face.

"Face it, girls! She only won that award because she had two---no, FOUR---of the most biggest assets in Ponyville! And I ain't talking about her bank account!", Gallus blurted with a daringly smirked beak.

"What griffon talk about then?", questioned the befuddled Yona.

"Uggghh, he MEANS her gigantic tits and huge-ass hiney, doofus! Have you've not been noticing a trend lately?!", groaned Smolder with a loud harsh tone. Suddenly, Gallus got grabbed by the feathery breast with Smolder's enraged clenching claw.

"And for YOUR big fat birdshit information, Professor Fluttershy got MORE than just her eye candies you so perversely crave!", sneered Smolder as Gallus raised his talons in a surrending stance while being held against his will.

"In case you had forgotten already, she's the professor who would host disco cleaning parties after class, give us baby forest animals from her sanctuary as rewards AND play new board games with the entire class whenever major school events get cancelled!" rebuked Smolder as her clenching fist got tighter and tighter with each remark.

"So until you apologize for your lack of decency, I'm gonna burn your precious Polaroid right in front of you!", snickered Smolder as she swiped Gallus' photograph of Professor Fluttershy and slowly inched the photo towards her fiery mouth.

"WAIT, WAIT, no PLEASE! I need that photo for the Squawker Press!", Gallus shouted nervously as his sweating intensifies.

"LIAR!! You were just going to sell that off to pay for your porno collection, you damn perv!", rebuked Smolder as purples flames started to burst out from her eyes, thus giving off a hot-headed expression.

"Smolder, please! This is not how we taught you about handling catcallers!", shouted Fluttershy with a panicking yet stern tone. "I can't allow you to fight within school grounds! I will fetch the Headmare if you don't let Gallus go immediately!".

Then suddenly, a screeching hawkish and roaring cry of pain was heard from across the field, and every creature stopped on their spots to see what was the ruckus. Sure enough, there was a chipper squirrel holding onto tear life on a bushy end of some griffon's tail.

"AAAAHHH, GET THIS DAMN SQUIRREL OFF ME!!! It's gnawing on my tail!!", shouted the bald buff griffon with brown and white feathers as he desparately flew around like crazy in an attempt to rid himself of the squirrel.

"HAHA, that squirrel thinks your bushy end is an acorn nut, Gobbles! Look at that huge size of that buck tooth!", laughed one of the athletic griffons in a white jersey.

"HAR HAR HAR! So funny!! Squirrel super strong gripper! You are like crybaby", chuckled one muscular yak with a low-bass tone.

"OH MAN, I really wish I had one of Gallus' cameras with me! So I could share this moment with my bros!", laughed one buff sea-blue dragon with the tight black shorts.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY, MAN!! I need this squirrel off my tail!! Will some creature come over here and pull it off?!", shouted the flying Gobbles as he waved his tail like an angry snake tied to a branch.

"DUDE, just spin that tail around like a stone sling! The spinning force might shake that squirrel off your tail!", advised one of the athletic griffons in the laughing crowd.

And so the flying Gobbles did what had to be done, and began revving his tail for a spinner-upper and gradually raised the centripetal force of his twirling cat tail. Suddenly, the buck-tooth squirrel came diving down towards the surprised crowd.

WHAM!!! The squirrel found himself crashing face flat onto one of the yak's giant black horns, before falling down to the grassy ground with an unconscious gaze.

"OH NO, I think you might had killed it! Nice going, you idiot! Now she'll NEVER want to sleep with you!", shouted one of the upset griffons who witnessed the squirrel's demise.

"HEY, it was YOUR idea, you cocka-doodling gobshite! I was going to aim for the sky and catch it with my talons!", berated Gobbles as he angrily stares at the bewildered crowd.

Then, suddenly out came a bawling scream of worrisome anguish from Professor Fluttershy as she ran for her beloved pet squirrel---"RODGRIGGUUEEZZ!!!!!"

As the Professor took each rapid step forward on the field to save little Rodriguez, her triple K bosoms bounced graciously like a pair of jiggling water balloons. Everything went into slow motion for the sweaty and muscular male athletes, as they stared bashfully in mindless awe at their Professor's humongous hooters. They were too oblivious to care about Professor Fluttershy's tearful face as she cried out for the unconscious squirrel.

"HEY, don't just stand there like drooling imbeciles, you damn idiots!!" barked Smolder as she tried to get the crowd's attention back to the squirrel again. "Does any creature here know how to do mouth-to-mouth??!"

"It's all right--(WHEEZE)--Smolder! I'll---(HUFF)---handle it--(COUGH COUGH)--from here!", gasped Professor Fluttershy as she tried to get her breath back after all that running. With those huge flesh bags on her chest, it was no surprise that the extra weight on her chest was putting a major painful strain on her pectoral muscles (well, not that it concerns the mindless male muscled perverts gawking at her)

Nevertheless, she had an important duty as the Element of Kindness to do and it was to save her animals from all dangerous circumstances, no matter the cost. Professor Fluttershy proceeded to kneel down onto her knees, laid her head close to Rodriguez and connected her lips with her poor little furry friend.

"MAN, I wish I was that squirrel...", said the sea-blue male dragon with the black shorts, which unexpectedly grew a small bulge within the groin area.

"If you're just going to ogle all day, would you at least please keep your dirty mouth shut? She's trying to concentrate on her paramedic training!", barked the angry hot-tempered Smolder as she viciously stared at the aroused griffon.

"1, 2, 3, 4---!", chanted Professor Fluttershy, as she desperately performed light chest compressions on the unconscious Rodriguez. "1, 2, 3, 4---!"

Professor Fluttershy returned back to her mouth-to-mouth session. As the boys were too busy staring in awe, the fan girls gathered around with worrying temptation, crying out their sorrows for the poor squirrel.

Yona suddenly rushed into the scene and was desperately catching her breath. "Is pet class squirrel okay??!! Yona no want squirrel to die!!".

"It's fine! I think he's waking up now!", replied Professor Fluttershy. Then, just as she was about to perform more chest compressions, as sudden gust of sharp wind flew up her long brown skirt, and lo and behold, a 3-second glimpse of her pair of blue-and-teal striped lace panties were revealed for the crowd of creatures who were lucky enough to be behind her jutting derriere. Blue feathers swifted breezily above Fluttershy's big bare yellow bottom with those tightly hugging striped panties.

Professor Fluttershy blushed as she felt that breeze and almost had a heart attack when she heard a *CLICK-CHEE!" sound from behind. She noticed that Smolder and Yona suddenly got a jaw-dropping gobsmacked expression on their faces. When she looked behind to see what was going on, she felt aghast about what she had found...

"GOTCHA! Score 1000 for the highlight reels!", exclaimed Gallus as he aimed his Polaroid camera at Professor Fluttershy's derriere. An instant photo was quickly printed out from the film ejector, before it was swiped off and waved by Gallus' swifty right talon.

"YOU GODAMN CHEAPSKATE BASTARDY BIRDBRAIN!! How DARE you took that sick opportunity to develop one of your sick voyeur pics!!? HAVE YOU NO SHAME??!!", cried the enraged Smolder. Soon, the fangirls started turning on Gallus, in which he responded by flying high above the shocked crowd out of the female Earthen Equestrian's reach. Few other female flyers though, from buff griffons to tough peggies, were able to surround him and were ready to pounce on the trouble maker.

"Yona no believe blue griffon would do something so evil! Yona wants to know why birdbrain do it!", cried Yona as she stared at Gallus with a pouty sad depressed face.

"WHY?!", replied the flying Gallus loudly with a smirk. "Because whoever bids the highest will get this unlaminated fresh edition Polaroid photo of Professor Fluttershy's delicious ass!!"

Suddenly, a huge horde of sex-hungry fanboys started rushing over towards Gallus in an attempt to catch that priceless Polaroid photo of Professor Fluttershy's big round yellow derriere. This caused Yona, Fluttershy, Smolder and a few other protective fangirls to be suddenly caught off guard by the rampaging male yaks, dragons, griffons and stallions yearning for Gallus' money shot photo, no matter what the cost! The female flyers soon found themselves wrestling with the hormone-fueled male griffons and dragons, giving Gallus enough time to make his getaway.

"I'll pay all my life savings for that piece of ass!"

"Screw you! I'm spending my remaining tuition money! It costs more than your dam shit birdhouse!"

"Me will kill all male creatures for picture of fat yellow rump! This be yak oath!! Swear on me life!!"

"You fools! You are dealing with a unicorn buck ball champion! I will levitate the photo away from you creatures faster than you can say 'Buck's your Uncle!'"

"Don't you boys even DARE!! I will tell on the Headmare and have you boys all expelled for even peeking a glimpse of that photo!!"

"WOAH, WHAT THE---Hey, watch it!! You're trampling over me, godamnit!!", swore Smolder as she felt overrun by the male crowd. Smolder suddenly grabbed a hold of the heavy Yona's belly, hoping her weight will make her a much more stable anchor as the crowd rushes over to chase Gallus as he zips up and flies away.

"Grab hold onto Yona, Professor! Before you be ran over like bug!!", cried Yona as she held tight onto the whimpering Smolder.

"Hold on!" Professor Fluttershy cried, as she quickly stuffed Rodriguez between her soft giant bosoms for protection from the rabid horde. Though there was no need to worry for the male flyers who could keep up with the speedy Gallus, there was still a grave risk of Rodriguez being squashed by the trampling ground-stomping crowd of yaks and Earthen stallions rushing over to catch the wannabe voyeuristic shutterbug.

Then, as the rumbling became less intense and much more softer over time, Fluttershy, Yona and Smolder found themselves all alone on the deserted hoof-ball field. All that was leftover were a couple of rubber buck balls, wooden buckets, weight-lifting equipment, clay disks, staffs and all other sports equipment strewn randomly on the playing field. Nevertheless, the mess on the field was the least of their worries, as the three gentle ladies had just survived one of the weirdest disasters in school history.

"When I get my CLAWS on that cat-bird, I'm gonna rip his throat out and cauterize his goose neck!", shouted Smolder as she ragingly breathed a huge pole of purple fire, before giving out and was left breathing out fumes.

"Yona wants to teach Gallus lesson! He no have right to take picture of Professor's rump with no permission!", Yona exclaimed angrily as she snorted a huge puff of hot breath out of her nose.

"Girls, please...calm down! I know that what he has done was completely unacceptable behavior, but that is no reason to maliciously wound your friends", replied Professor Fluttershy as she took a peep at the live squirrel popping out of her hot chest.

"You just immediately rush on over to the Headmare's office and alert her about today's incident on the hoof-ball field. She'll deal with Gallus and the mob once they arrived there. Go, NOW! Before the next period starts!", Professor Fluttershy ordered with haste as she ordered her students.

Smolder sweated profusely with manic temptation to hurt Gallus, but she knew that doing so will cause her to be severely punished alongside Gallus. Swallowing both her pride and the hot air around her, Smolder hesitantly replied, "All right, Professor! If that's what you want..."

"C'mon, Yona! Lemme carry you over to the school! It'll be faster for both of us to catch up, before Gallus and his rushing posse arrives at the school!", said Smolder as she lifted up Yona with her wings and flew rapidly with haste to the school grounds.

"Take care of squirrel for Yona, Professor!!", Yona cried as her voice started to decrease in volume from being flown away from the hoof-ball field by the rapidly flying Smolder.

As Fluttershy gazed on towards the sky, Rodriguez the squirrel suddenly climbed out of her chest, scampered onto her shoulder and whisper a couple of chitter-chattering squeaks at her ear.

"Rodriguez, you had me so worried when you ran off in frustration over your nut rations! You know, I can't play favorites by giving you extra nuts and depriving the other squirrels of their share!", Fluttershy responded. Rodriguez chattered with angry squeaks once again.

"Of course I care about you, but I can't turn my attention away from all the other animals! You know, you do kind of reminded me of a certain bunny who used to be like that in his younger years...", replied Fluttershy with disdain. "And I learn from that experience that I need to stand my ground to make sure naughty critters like you don't pull of a dangerous stunt like that ever again!"

"As punishment for leaving school premises without my permission, you will no longer be allowed to play with the other squirrel play dates for an entire week.", scolded Fluttershy as she speaks with a harsh yet gentle tone. Suddenly, Rodriguez whimpers in sadness and his chattering sounded more depressed.

"Ohhh, I know it may seem unfair, but I have to make an example to the other critters that such mischievous behaviors are not acceptable. Look....if you promise me you will remain good throughout your grounded sentence, I promise I will have Pinkie Pie bake you a multi-variety nut cake with all of your favorites.", Fluttershy softly spoke with a sweet gentle tone.

Suddenly, Rodriguez looked up on Fluttershy's heartwarming jade-green gaze and half-heartedly smiled at Fluttershy, before hugging her face with content. Rodriguez later hopped back into Fluttershy's pair of soft bulging pillows and laid back to enjoy his ride back home.

"C'mon! Let's get you back with the other critters at my class before the school bell rings! I have a lot of school errands to run afterwards, and I don't want to disappoint my students for being absent without leave!"
