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.]

[Bro listens intently as Fluttershy speaks, basically hanging on every word. This is amazing. Completely and utterly fascinating. Now of course his interest in Ponies is strictly for ironic purposes, never forget that. He is, in fact, actually not internally fangirling over this whole situation. That's just not a thing he does. Really. It's not.

Okay maybe he's fangirling at the idea of Rainbow Dash being here, but shut up that's not the point. So. Shut up.]

It would be really cool if I could meet them sometime. I ain't ever met a pony before- I mean, a... Human pony, I guess. And all those differences you describe totally make sense. But it's good you've gotten the hang of it.

[And now because he's a jackass who can't resist a little bit of trolling...]

So anyway, my next question would be... Are all you ponies this hard to hear, or is it just you? I mean, for all I know your voice boxes could've been damaged in the pony-to-human conversion.

We're all going to Goldenrod soon, soo... but, well... they wouldn't mind talking to you, I don't think... They're all very nice, and like making new friends...

[... aww, why the troll? She squeaks.]

I-I'm sorry... It's... I'm, well... You may not believe it, but... I'm... a little... shy.

[NO. YOU'RE JOKING.]

Well shit. I've already left Goldenrod on my way to Kanto. I was there for Christmas and New Years, but then I decided it was time to hit the road, so I set off with my classy lady for bigger and better things. If I'd known ponies were coming to town, you can bet your ass I would've stayed.

[At her answer to his question, he has to resist the urge to let out a laugh.]

Are you? I never would've guessed. You seem so... assertive.
