Sixth Flutter [Action for Violet/Video]

[3_butterflies]

[With everything settled for now, Fluttershy has slightly separated from the group to go see Alois and make sure he's all right. Though she plans to talk to him one on one, she also takes out her Pokegear, trying to talk to her fellow ponies. Alas, she has not really figured out how to 'filter' just yet.]

Um, everypony? ... I-I mean, everypony I know... that is, my group... Oh, I'm not off to a very good start...

I was wondering, if, maybe if you all wouldn't mind... If Alois could stay with us? Like... live with us? And go with us whenever we go? He's just a little human, and has no one else to take care of him... and I know deep down he's sorry for the things he did to me...

[for the clueless? Alois is the same boy who robbed her. orz.]

I promise to take care of him, and make sure he stays out of trouble... he just needs somepony to look after him.

Oooh! I'm all for a pet human! It'll be lotsa fun!

He does seem really sorry and stuff.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Pinkie Pie... and I bet having so many friends, he'll be happier, and nicer.

[He's wandering the city, looking for a hapless person with a loose wallet when he notices the message and the person on the gear. It had been a few days since he last heard from her, but it felt like much longer.]

There you are! I've wondered where you've been. [He recognizes the background of her location and immediately sets out to find her.] What's this about taking care of me?

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Alois!

[happy pony is happy.]

We just got back from Violet... and, well, since I promised to stay with you, I thought, maybe, this might be the best way...

[Video]

[fauxearl.livejournal.com]

I've been waiting for you. [...By adopting him? He wasn't sure what to think of the news. Initially he had though of just following her - but an invitation? That was even better. She better mean it or else he was going to make sure she regretted her words.]

You did promise. Though you momentarily went back on it. [This moment makes up for it one hundred fold! He's incredibly happy, despite his seemingly calm reaction.] I'll gladly accompany you and your group, Miss Fluttershy! By any chance, will you go to Goldenrod City as well?

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[There's a nervous laugh with the 'momentarily went back on it' bit, but she just nods and moves on.]

I don't see why not... But, why? What's in Goldenrod?

[Video]

[fauxearl.livejournal.com]

[There better be a nervous laugh.]

Wonderful! You see, I have a good friend who's currently in Goldenrod. I missed him while he was in Violet and my recent illness set me back even further... [Played to the tune of the world's smallest violin. Pity him, Fluttershy. Get him what he wants, Fluttershy.]

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[Target hit! There is instant pity.]

Oh, of course! We'll make sure you get to him, I promise. Friends are very important...

[Video]

[fauxearl.livejournal.com]

[Oh, what will he do without you~. He's sure he can see her now in the distance.]

Thank you! But we needn't hurry. I'm sure he'll be there for quite some time.

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[Whereas she is oblivious, attention entirely on the Pokegear.]

And until then, we can all be friends too... My friends will become your friends...

[Video]

[fauxearl.livejournal.com]

[Tsk tsk Fluttershy. Always be aware of your surroundings or else you'd get robbed. ...Again.]

I'm not too sure your friends will take kindly to me. [Applejack.]

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[Another nervous laugh, looking around.]

She'll come around, sometimes she can be a bit... stubborn... but, but she really does mean well.

[video] -> [action]

[fauxearl.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she does.

[He could fake another robbery (he's tempted. Very tempted) but he decides it would be better to call her out.]

Fluttershy~.

[action]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[Startled, she nearly drops the Pokegear, but after a few fumbles, she catches it, and looks over.]

Alois!

[action]

[fauxearl.livejournal.com]

[It was very nice to see her again in person rather than through the gear.]

What took you so long? [Seriously. What. Took. Her. So. Long. To come baaaaack.]

[video]

[sweetasabelle.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind, Fluttershy! If you think he's alright, then I don't know how I could really argue that. I know my opinion isn't as important as Rarity's, but I figured you were asking all of us.

[video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

But Sweetie Belle, your opinion is just as important... you're my friend too...

[video]

[sweetasabelle.livejournal.com]

You've never been wrong about a pony or an animal before, Fluttershy! ...Or a person, I guess.

Thanks, Fluttershy. I know Rarity and Applejack care about me and Apple Bloom, but sometimes it feels like it's just the two of us in a world full of grown-ups.

[video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

You're welcome... and you know, you can always come to me to tell me if anything's wrong of you're upset... I promise to treat you like a grown-up.

[just a very tiny grown-up. a very tiny young grown-up.]

[Video]

[used-defog.livejournal.com]

[Haven't seen this face in a while, huh? Well, it looks like she's finally out of Union Cave, and she--

-- doesn't look so happy.]
Wh-- Fluttershy, are you crazy?! [Yeah, she's not gonna let this go. Misunderstood or not, she's still got her suspicions of Alois' motives.]

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

But, Rainbow Dash...

[Video]

[used-defog.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't, "but Rainbow Dash" me! I don't care if he's just a kid-- it doesn't change what he did! There's something just... off about him.

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Maybe with our help, we can make him... on!

[Video]

[used-defog.livejournal.com]

[Dash knows that if anyone could, it would be them... BUT STILL.]
But he's just a creep! And a complete jerk! I can't just forgive him after he did all that stuff to you!

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Well... you don't have to forgive him.

[Video]

[used-defog.livejournal.com]

[She folds her arms.]
What am I supposed to do then? 'Cause there's no way you're gonna get me to be palsy-walsy with him.

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Just... let him be there?

[Video]

[used-defog.livejournal.com]

[INTENSE GLARE. But it's not like she can even do much of anything yet... She's still in Azalea, after all.]
... Fine, but if he does anything weird-- so much as look at you funny-- he's outta here, got it?

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ This face. ]

No. No way, no how, ain't gonna happen.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[;;]

But, But Applejack, he...

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

--he kicked his pokey-mon, that's what he did! Don't you remember? That's the bit you were angry with him for! He robbed you an' mugged you! He's a lyin' crook, and he's just gonna double-cross you! There ain't no way I'm letting him travel with us, especially not when Apple Bloom's here.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

I-I know what he did, but... but with all of us with him, he wouldn't be able to do anything bad... And I promise I won't let him out of my sight, and he won't be left alone with the girls, and I'll check on his Pokemon every day...

[action] orz

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

Oh, Fluttershy, can't you see? You can't take care o' him all on your lonesome! He's gonna hurt you, I'm sure of it! Even if he doesn't hurt your body--he's gonna lie to you, and cheat, and steal! He ain't a pet, Fluttershy; the only ponies fit to handle him is the police, and that's that!

[action] <3

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[and here comes the wibbling.]

B-But... doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? He's been so lonely... he doesn't have any friends!

[action]

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ FACE. PALM. Sorry FS, here comes the shouting. ]

THAT'S 'CAUSE HE'S A CRIMINAL!

[action]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[Eeep!

... Well. that does it. That DOES IT!

... here come the tears.]

B... But... mmmmm...

[ OH GOD SHE CAN'T, SHE JUST CAN'T

CHOKING CHOKING ]

Oh, hayseeds. [ The world's most put-upon sigh. ] I reckon he can come...if he behaves himself.

[action]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[She whimpers a bit, trying to rub her eyes and get rid of the tears.]

R... Really...?

[action]

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ She reaches forward and takes Fluttershy's hands. ] Yeah. But he's gone the second he so much as puts up a fuss, y'hear me?

[action]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[desuuuu - she smiles, relieved.]

Oh, Applejack! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[action]

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ aaaand hug GET. AJ nuzzles Fluttershy's hair. Mrph. ]

I still reckon he's nothing but trouble, and you oughta be careful.

[action]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[snuggles into~ who's the uke now, bitch!]

I will, I promise...

[action]

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ fhdjskk sob snuggle snuggle ]

I'm holdin' you to it. And if he even tiptoes outta line, I'm gonna kick his teeth out.

[Video]

[celestias.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the extra company at all. I'm sure he's glad to have a friend like you, Fluttershy.

[and somepony doesn't know of the alois stunt yet :'|]

[Video]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[it's not like he did anything major! he just... beats his pokemon and robbed me blind.]

Thank you so much, Princess Celestia! ... I just hope the others agree to it...
