Thirty-First Flutter [Video]

[3_butterflies]

 [After a quiet yawn, a delicate hand turns on the Pokegear. Fluttershy is sitting up in bed, cuddling a teddy bear - no, wait, that's a Teddiursa! She looks pretty exhausted, but it's the best she's felt in a while.]

Good morning, everypony... I'm sorry I've been so quiet lately...

[... more-so than usual? er, anyway.]

I, um... I guess you could say I haven't been feeling well... but I'm okay now... In fact, I had the most wonderful dream - 

Really? What about?

[Fluttershy blinks. Then, slowly, she turns to her side - where Applejack is smiling brightly at her.]

...

...

...

... Sugarcube? You okay? You look kinda - WHOA THERE, DON'T - 

[Whoops, it looks like Fluttershy's about to faint from sheer shock. Applejack lunges to catch her, Teddiursa squeaks at all the sudden movement, and the Gear is dropped during the chaos, turning off.]

[He feels sorry for ruining it for her, but Fluttershy can't walk around Johto thinking that no one will do her harm. What would happen if her friends went away and she was left taking care of herself?]

Various reasons. Some people do it to prove their power, others do it because they derive pleasure from causing pain, others because they find it funny... there are many reasons that people are cruel.

Yes, like that. Or a sadist or someone angry at people in general.

[Damn it, Fluttershy. Stop being so sweet and naive.]
