Seventh Flutter [Video/Action for Violet]

[3_butterflies]

[It's a beautiful day in Violet, and Fluttershy is trying to help her newest Pokemon, a Nidorino named One, try to adjust to his 'new family'. So she and her mons are all outside, with Togepi playing with the Pokegear, and Metapod taking a snooze in the shade. So how does Fluttershy think they should adjust?

She, Mareep, and Nidorino are all eating

[ Rarity folds herself gracefully into the grass nearby and plucks a blade of grass to nibble on delicately. ]

You look silly, darling.

[She smiles humbly.]

I don't mind how I look...

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity smiles back. ]

Well, I suppose if you don't mind. But you do know you can use your hands to pick the grass and eat it? [ She takes another few blades to demonstrate. ]

I know... but I want to bond with One, I want to show him we can be close...

[She points to One, who merely grunts. Boo on you, flutter.]

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity leans over to peer closely, critically at One. ]

My, aren't you unpleasant? Shame on you; you should be much nicer to Fluttershy. See how hard she's trying?

action;

[One growls, not liking you either, missy.]

It's okay, Rarity... See, his owner left Johto, and One was left in my care... He probably just misses his owner, that's why he doesn't like me...

action;

[notafussbudget]

Oh... [ She leans back, a little chagrined. ]

It's hard for them. [ Thoughtfully, she palms a Pokéball from her belt and holds it up on her fingertips. ] One of Sweetie Belle's Pokémon is the same way. He wound up in Apple Bloom's care first, and now mine. He doesn't like me, either.

[softly smiles.]

I'm sure he'll like you very soon... Since you're so generous and thoughtful...

action;

[notafussbudget]

Well, I should say the same to you! [ She smiles back again, reassuringly. ] You're so sweet and kind, darling, how could anypony dislike you for long?

action;

[3_butterflies]

[She blushes a little.]

Thank you... I hope so... I guess I just have to give him time...

[But as she sits up nice and proper, Cream the Mareep decides LAP TIME NOW and flops happily onto her legs and knees with a bleat.]

action;

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity squeaks, surprised, then laughs and reaches over to bury her fingers in Cream's wool, petting her. ]

Your Pokémon are so sweet, Fluttershy.

[More happy bleating~]

No wonder they like you... And it's such a lovely day out... I feel I could just lay here and nap all day long with them...

action;

[notafussbudget]

[ She smiles good-naturedly and bumps Fluttershy lightly with her shoulder. ]

Honestly, I could go for a nap, myself. It's so gorgeous out.

action;

[3_butterflies]

[She giggles a little, leaning on Rarity. But Celest the Togepi and Scoots the Metapod see this - cuddling? We want in! They nearly bowl down Fluttershy, trying to get in her arms.]

W-wait a minute, one at a time...!

action;

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity laughs, reaching out to pluck the Metapod up into her arms. ]

There, now, darlings, there's enough room for everyone!

action;

[3_butterflies]

[Everyone makes their own happy noises, having a good time.

... One glances over. Then away. Then back again. He doesn't want in... No... Nuh-uh...]

There now, I think everyone is comfy...
