Sixteenth Flutter [Video/Action only for traveling ponies]

[3_butterflies]

[The Pony gang has been on the move since Pinkie's last post, as they travel their way to Goldenrod. But all is not well with our pony pals. Fluttershy has been traveling waaay in the back, as if to avoid the others, and when she thinks they aren't looking, she fumbles with the Pokegear. She turns to Video, and tries to keep her voice low so her

[Someone's casually slowing down to meet Fluttershy's stride.]

You don't want who mad at you? How could anyone ever be mad at you, Fluttershy? That's crazy talk!

She yelps, almost dropping her Pokegear as it fumbles in her hands.]

P-P-Pinkie Pie! I-I... Oh, I'm sorry, I...

[partyofwin]

You don't need to apologize, silly!

[Pinkie throws an arm around Fluttershy's shoulders. At least she's keeping her voice down.]

Now why don't you tell your Auntie Pinkie Pie what's troubling you.

[She sighs, relenting, and leans into the embrace for comfort.]

... I don't think Applejack likes me anymore...

Well, I guess the only thing you can do is just apologize and hope that's enough.

But if she's not even going to tell you what's wrong, that might be kinda hard to even do.

[voice]

[3_butterflies]

But what if I apologize, and then wind up doing the thing that made her angry again anyway? I bet that'd make it even worse...

[voice]

[chosenlightchld]

Well, then maybe she'll actually tell you what it is you're doing that's bothering her.

[voice]

[3_butterflies]

I hope I can stop whatever it is. I'd do anything to keep my friends happy.

Maybe you should just ask your friend if you did something wrong. I mean, if you're not sure, find out! You'd look stupid apologizing for something you didn't do. Plus that would make you a total moron!

[3_butterflies]

But... but what if she finds out I don't know what I'm apologizing for? What if she gets mad that I don't realize what I did wrong?

Audio;

[8etterl8]

Well did you actually do anything wrong?

Audio;

[3_butterflies]

I don't know... It's possible...

[audio]

[sciencebipches]

If she's hardly got the nerwe to talk to you about it, then I doubt she's really worth the effort worryin' about. She sounds like a wriggler if she can't ewen cast off her pupa and say what her problem is.

... Though, it's possible she might hawe some black leanin's for ya instead.

[audio]

[3_butterflies]

Black leanings...? What's that?

[audio]

[sciencebipches]

What--Y'know, like she's waxen pitch for ya, like wantin' to start a riwalry, shit like that.

[audio]

[3_butterflies]

[She struggles to understand the dialect...]

A... rivalry? But we're best friends, we don't have anything to be rivals over. She's better at me at everything.

Fluttershy?

[She may not have heard her, but it doesn't take long for Rarity to notice that Fluttershy is hanging at the back of the group.]

Why are you all the way back here? [Nevermind that Applejack is all the way ahead.] We really should stay close together...

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

[Eep She quickly tries to hide her pokegear behind her back.]

Oh, um... I'm... just... m-making sure no Rockets are following us?

[... and you thought Applejack was a bad liar.]

[Action]

[art_of_fabulous]

[Yeah. Fluttershy, you're not fooling anypony. That and if you really were looking out for rockets by yourself, Rarity would put a stop to it.]

We are all keeping our eyes open, darling. We don't need you hanging back by yourself. It isn't safe.

[Not to mention she can't quite imagine Fluttershy willingly doing that by herself anyway...]

What's wrong? [Tell mama-Rarity your troubles~ :D]

[She sighs deeply, relenting for now.]

... I don't think Applejack likes me anymore...

[And saying that is enough for some extra wibbling and whimpering.]
