nine. ☆ ( video / action for goldenrod city )

[uuing]

[ Long time no see, huh? At least not in a feed that Maria started, either way, but she has an important duty now so she absolutely had to make a post! Alternatively you might encounter her in Goldenrod, as she tugs on your sleeve to ask you this

[Action]

[She was about to give a very friendly hello when the embarrassing questions started. Instead, she turns bright red, and then buries her face in her hands, squeaking shyly. Oh gosh. Oh goodness.]

[uuing]

[ sorry, Fluttershy, Maria has no idea how this is embarassing.. so she just blinks at Fluttershy. ]

U.. uu-? Is something wrong, Fluttershy?

[3_butterflies]

[where does she even begin?]

I, um... I guess... I mean, I don't guess, I know... Ah... Um... That is... I do... have one...

[uuing]

[ It takes a while before she deciphers what's the important part of that stuttering, but once she does a bright smile appears on her face. She's practically bouncing up and down at the idea of having found someone with one already! ]

Uu-?! Maria didn't know at all! Does Fluttershy have one, really, really?

[3_butterflies]

[She shyly peeks from behind her fingers. oh goooosh.]

A-huh... Her name is... Applejack...

[uuing]

Applejack..? [ ponder ponder, did she ever meet someone like that before.. ]

Uu-, is she a nice person?

[3_butterflies]

[Nod-nod.]

Oh, she's very nice, she's one of my best friend... She's so honest and kind...

[uuing]

Kyakyakya, that re-ally sounds great! She sounds like a nice person! [ nod. ] What's different between being friends or girlfriends, though..? Sakutaro is Maria's best friend, but how is that different from a boyfriend, uu-?

[3_butterflies]

[And she hides her eyes again.]

Um... well... it's like a deeper, much deeper friendship... And there's.. kissing, and holding... You can have a lot of friends, but you can only have one boyfriend... or girlfriend.

[makes total sense, amirite.]

[uuing]

Deeper than friendship, uu-.. [ more pondering - and still completely oblivious to Fluttershy's shyness over it. ]

Maria has held Sakutaro a lot of times too. He's a lion cub, after all, so Maria usually had to carry him around..

[3_butterflies]

[She shakes her head.]

That's different... She doesn't hold me because she has to... She does it because she wants to...

[uuing]

But Maria wanted to hold Sakutaro too.. uu-, maybe it's still a little different though, with the way Fluttershy is talking about it. Maybe the difference is a little too difficult for Maria..

[3_butterflies]

I'm sorry that I can't explain it any better... Maybe you'll understand better when you're older... It's really just something that you know...

[She finally relaxes enough to put her hands down, though she wistfully looks at her hand with the ring on it.]

[uuing]

It's okay, Maria will probably understand later! Or maybe she'll ask Mama..

[ she thinks about it, but then she finally notices the ring - unlike last time. ]

Uu-? Does Fluttershy have a pretty ring?

[3_butterflies]

[Startled, she looks at her hands, and then nods.]

Oh, yes, it is... Applejack gave it to me for Christmas.

[uuing]

[ she bends over a little to look at the ring, a little amazed, actually. ]

Uu-! Is that something else boyfriends and girlfriends do..? Giving rings to each other?
