"I guess my parents were right...." I said between sobs.

"About what?" Fluttershy asked.

"They always told me that I was a piece of crap and nobody would ever like me."

"..." Fluttershy was speechless.

"No matter what I did, I would always get yelled at for it. If I did something wrong, then they would beat me and tell me that I was a worthless mistake and that nobody would care if I died."

"What did you do, when they would say that to you?" Fluttershy asked.

"I didnt do anything, I would just stand there and take the abuse."

"Why?"

"Because I knew that if I ever tried to fight back, then I would just get beaten even more."

"....."

"Soon, I started slipping into depression and started to believe what my parents told me and before they knew what was going on, I had already tried to kill myself..."

"Drew, your parents were wrong."

"They were?"

"Yea."

Silence filled the room for a few moments, then I decided to speak up.

"Fluttershy, what should I do about Rainbow Dash?"

"You need to let her think for a bit."

"Do you think I could go talk to her tomorrow?"

"I'm sure she would be okay with that." Fluttershy said as she started to pat me on the back.

I started to cry again.

"Do you think you could stay with me tonight?" I asked Fluttershy

Fluttershy blushed and gave me an appalled look.

"No not like that!" I quickly said. "You have just been so nice to me and I don't really feel safe around myself right now..."

"Sure I will stay with you tonight."

"Thanks Fluttershy...."

We both got into bed and hugged each other.

"Good night Fluttershy."

"Good night Drew."

With that we both fell asleep in each others arms.

=======================================================================

I woke up about 2 hours later and the first thing I saw was Fluttershy. She had actually stayed with me!

"Thank you Fluttershy, you don't know how much this means to me..."

I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"What the hell." I mumbled as I turned around.

I turned around to see the rest of the main 6, excluding Rainbow Dash, standing at the side of the bed.

"Oh hey guys. What's up?" I asked

They all just stood there with there eyes darting back between Fluttershy and I.

"You think we had 'relations' don't you."

They all just shook their heads yes.

"You guys don't even know how wrong you are."

"Well how else can ya' sleep with somepony?" Applejack asked smuggly.

"Like this!" I rolled back over, put my arms around Fluttershy, snuggled up close to her, let out a big sigh, and then I promptly  fell asleep.

"Well, ah' guess that answers that question." Applejack mused.

"Why did Fluttershy sleep with Drew in the first place?" Rarity pondered out loud.

"I heard the whole thing from last night, I'll tell you girls about it over a nice cup of tea." Twilight said.

With that they left the two "Cuddle Buddies" to sleep in peace.

======================================================================

I woke up again about 5 hours later and decided that it was time for me to get up. Ha, it's funny, I slept for 7 hours on my first night here in ponyville, that's equivilant to how much sleep I would get in a week back on earth. I was about to walk out my bedroom door then I realized that I should probably wake Fluttershy up. I went over to her side of the bed and sat down.

"Fluttershy, it's time to get up." I whispered as I shook her gently.

"Wha?" Fluttershy said groggily.

"It's 11 am, and since you have animals at your house, I thought you might want to get back..."

"Oh, ok, I'll get going..."

"Wait, I don't WANT you to go I just didnt know if you had to tend to the animals or not." I said quickly. I looked into her eyes silently pleading with her to stay.

"I guess Angel can take care of the animals today." Fluttershy said.

"So your going to spend the day with me today?" I asked, hoping that her last statement meant that she would.

"Yep!"

"Cool!"

We both got ready for the day ahead of us, and then we headed downstairs to grab a bite to eat.

"Good morning Fluttershy, Good morning Drew." Twilight said.

"Good morning Twilight." we both said in perfect enough harmony that it would match even the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Hey Twilight, do you see those bricks over there?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"Can you attach them to my hooves?"

"Why?" She asked as she gave me the best WTF face I had seen in a while.

"Well, I'm not as fast as I want to be..."

"What does that have to do with my attaching bricks to your hooves?"

"Well, if I can learn to run moderatly fast while being weighted down then wouldn't I be even faster without that weight?" I inquired.

"That... actually makes sense." Twilight said as she face-hooved.

"Let's eat first though." Fluttershy said.

======================================================================

"There you go!" Twilight said as she finished attaching the bricks to my legs.

"Cool! Thanks Twilight!"

"No Problem Drew!"

Then I decided to try and take a step foreword.

That was a big mistake.

I fell flat on my face.

"Oh god, are you okay Drew?" Fluttershy asked, she sounded genuinely worried.

"Yeah I'm fine. Hey Twilight take off the bricks please."

"Will do!" Twilight exclaimed.

Needless to say, I never tried to do that again. Next Chapter: Dashies back! Estimated time remaining: 13 Minutes
