The show uses mare/filly and stallion/colt interchagably, just like we'd call a woman a girl. However, for applications, and for clarity, what Kitomyk says is true.

Kill it! Kill it now! Aim for the head this time!

Ready for re-review.

She was glad to see Cadence relax. Being the ruler of the Crystal Empire must have been stressful. Fluttershy knew that Twilight's new duties as a Princess were hard on her at times, and she didn't have a country to run! Getting the two of them together to relax was probably the best thing for both of them. She giggled a little at Cadence's assertion that she could get Twilight out of her scheduled routine. She couldn't help but poke a little bit of fun at her friend. "Oh, my! That's a rare gift!" she said, giggling harder. "For us, that usually takes having Applejack tie her up!" When asked about her animals, Fluttershy answered, "Yes, every creature at the shelter is doing well. Of course, I'm always looking for more animals to help." She paused, considering whom she was talking to. "Actually," she continued, "I've been trying to get a pair of Crystal Empire sheep! They are so cute and colorful, but they are rather rare. The Empire Petting Zoo is nervous about letting them go. But, if we get more ponies interested, we might be able to spread the breed across Equestria too!" Fluttershy hid a small giggle when the little purple bat said he was going to thank Celestia. The suggestion was just very cute! "I'm sure she'd enjoy that!" she said. "Just be polite! She is a Princess after all!" This trip to Sweet Apple Acres was turning out to be rather more enjoyable than Fluttershy had anticipated. Not that she didn't love talking to Applejack, but having several of her other friends around was making just waiting in in line kind of fun. She was so busy talking with Cadence, Presteza, and little Fresco that she still hadn't read the sign on the booth, and she totally missed seeing Applejack's brother kissing the Princess... Nodding the the artist, Fluttershy said "Mm hm! That's right! They have bright colors to scare off predators, but it makes them so cute!" Then, more solemnly, she added, "Yes, many ponies just don't seem to like reptiles at all. Its just kind of sad..." She perked back up at Prestesa's question though. "Oh, you're more than welcome to come by!" she said, warmly. "Many of the animals like seeing other ponies around, even if they're not there to pick out a pet." Looking back at Cadence, she said "Oh, you're welcome to visit too, Prin... Cadence! I mean, if you're not busy that is." ​

Fluttershy smiled up at the little fruit bat as he alit in her mane. As one of the few ponies that could understand animals, she could listen to Fresco's stories about his new friend. The little creature seemed perfectly happy, which made Fluttershy feel warm inside. It was wonderful when a pony could be matched up with a pet, and the pair got along as well as Presteza and Fresco obviously were. At the fruit bat's squeaked question, Fluttershy told him, "Oh, that's Princess Celestia! She rules Equestria with her sister, Princess Luna! She is the pony that raises the sun every morning!" The pegasus got a contemplative look on her face at the bat's other question. "You know, I'm not sure why she's so much taller than most ponies. Maybe it just come from being an alicorn?" Her eyes widened at that thought. "Does that mean Twilight will grow that tall too?" she pondered out loud. Fluttershy smiled widely up at Celestia. It was very nice to know that even the Princesses knew of Sweet Apple Acres and their wonderful produce. "Oh yes! Sweet Apple Acres has some of the best apples in Equestria!" She stopped then, suddenly worried. "I mean... they are really very good... and I'm not just saying that because Applejack runs the farm... not to say that she and Big Macintosh don't do an excellent job on the farm... I just mean..." She trailed off, feeling rather silly, before squeaking out, "Um, yes, they are very good..." There was something a bit odd though. Why would Princess Celestia herself come down to the apple farm for the sale? Didn't she have ponies that worked in the palace that could do that for her? Cadance's story, at least, seemed to fit with what she knew about the younger alicorn. While Celestia buying her own apples was a bit strange, Cadance seemed to be a lot more down-to-Equestria, despite ruling over the Crystal Empire. She had even been a foal sitter when she was younger! "I'm sure Twilight will be more than glad to see you!" she assured the princess. "I know she'd make time for you. Well, after you get your apples, I mean." The line at the apple stand was moving forward as Fluttershy spoke to the princesses. In fact, it looked like Presteza has already gotten her order, and Celestia had stepped up to the stand. The artist unicorn had stepped back, and little Fresco had fitted off to... pester one of Celestia's guards? Fluttershy moved to scold the little bat, when the guard spoke to Presteza. The two seemed to know one another. In fact, Fluttershy thought she saw a resemblance between the two unicorns. Family perhaps? But Presteza turned back to Fluttershy before the pegasus could figure out more. She giggled at the unicorn's implication. "Oh no, he said he was very happy with you," she answered, smiling. "Oh yes!" then said brightly, warming to the subject of animals. "They are really pretty. Very bright colors and little black eyes. Some ponies are scared of snakes, for some reason. I've never really understood that..." ​
