Twenty-Fourth Flutter [Video/Action for Goldenrod.]

[3_butterflies]

[Today, Fluttershy is outside with her Mareep, Cream. She turns on the Video, for she has an inquiry.]

Um... I was wondering if somepony could help me... I've been here for quite a while, but I don't think I'm doing my job right... so... if you don't mind... maybe... somepony could teach me how to breed?

[For those of you who want Action, she is sitting on a bench, calmly brushing her sheep's wool... and every couple of seconds, gets visibly shocked by it. More like a static shock, but it does make her jerk around. Yet she continues right on brushing. ]

... Fluttershy...

[She closes her eyes, a few little tears threatening to break through. She knows what it means for her timid friend to say that, and she's touched.]

Thank you. I was going to ask if you wanted to come along, and to tell you the truth, I was... kind of afraid you'd want to stay...

[Action]

No... Even though it's going to be really scary and dangerous... I won't ever leave you. You're my friend, and we need each other.

[She sniffles a little. Cream bleats, happy for them. baaaaaah :) ]

[friendyousohard]

Right... We'll stay together as long as we're both here. Just like we promised.

[After a little bit more of holding her, Twilight pulls back just enough to look Fluttershy in the face again, though she doesn't let go. Her face is still a bit wet, but she couldn't possibly care less.]

I'm not sure when we'll be leaving or where we'll be going. But when we figure it out you'll be the first person to know. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

[She smiles, glad for the promise. She then reaches over, trying to wipe away Twilight's tears with her giant sleeves.]

I'll be ready whenever you are. You can count on me. I've got plenty of money saved up now, from my nursing job, so I can help there...

[She nuzzles her head into Fluttershy's sleeve, then leans in to nuzzle her face instead. Hugs are great, but a ponylike gesture of affection seems better, somehow.]

Ah, right, your job... They won't be too upset about you leaving, will they?

[She happily returns the nuzzle, rather glad to be reminded of their pony ways. She ducks her head under Twilight's chin, like a pony cuddle.]

They'll be fine, I'm sure they can get a much better nurse.

[Not only is the act comforting, but Fluttershy's hair is really soft. Twilight rests her head on Fluttershy's mine with a soft hum.]

Fluttershy, I don't know about medical training or knowledge, but when it comes to bedside manner, no one could ever be a better nurse than you.

[Perfect pony pose is perfect.]

Then I guess it's extra good I'm coming along... I don't know how much help I'll be, but I can at least help with caring for the Pokemon.

[She could totally just stay like this all day.]

That'll be help enough, Fluttershy. I'm sure we'll need it.
