  1. umm... we have lost quite a bit of our rpg... Prototype Angels... If you cannot get the rest of it back... then can you at least tell us what happened to it....?

    If the RP took place after the first update, it was lost. The fix that was implemented this week wiped out any posts made after the first failed update. The site admins posted warnings that this would happen, and advised folks to back up their posts. We're sorry you lost part of your RP, but we won't be able to recover it.

  2. Fluttershy was frozen for a moment when she felt Applejack's lips touch her own.  When the earth pony pulled away, Fluttershy staggered for a moment.  Her knees felt weak... her cheeks felt like they were on fire...  her brain felt like it had shut down.  However, she had the presence of mind to turn back to Night Glider.

     

    "I'll... be right over here...  until you are done..." she said to the other pegasus, haltingly. 

     

    Fluttershy weaved a path toward Granny Smith and Apple Strudel.  Her legs were wobbling, and crossing each other at random intervals.  When she reached the elderly ponies, her eyes rolled up, and she stiffened before keeling over.  As she hit the ground, though, she had the faintest smile on her face...

  3. Fluttershy wasn't sure how much longer she could keep up this act.  Forcing herself to smile and calmly talk to Applejack about k-k-k-kissing her was fraying her very last nerve.  She could barely hear her friend speaking to her over the pounding of her heart in her ears.  Finally, a small, almost infinitesimal voice in her head prompted her just get it over with!

     

    Gulping, she stuttered out "Ok-k-kay..."   Then she squeezed her eyes shut, puckered her lips, and waited for the inevitable...

  4. Fluttershy's fear and nervousness was now warring with her guilt.  Oh goodness, the LAST thing she wanted to do was drive off Applejack's business!  It was just one kiss...  from one of her closest friends...  she could do this...  she could do... Oh why did there have to be so many ponies here!  She'd much prefer it if she could somehow do this away from the others in line, and Applejack's family.  But, that could make the customers suspect something and...  Oh!!!  This was so frustrating!  But, that frustration was enough to push her forward.

     

    Responding to Applejack's 'do-over,' Fluttershy said, "Oh, Hello Applejack!" in a casual, yet forced tone.  Then. raising her voice a bit, she said, stiffly, "Only 10 bits for two bushels?  That is a very good deal!"

     

    As Fluttershy pulled the bits from her coin purse, she realized that Night Glider had asked if she had to pay anything to stay with her!  The small laugh she gave at that relaxed her a little more, and she turned back to the dark pegasus.  "Oh, Night Glider, you don't have to do anything for me, and you certainly don't have to pay anything!  I'm helping out a friend, and that is payment enough!

     

    She then turned back to Applejack.  Fluttershy gritted her teeth, and said, "Here you go, 10 bits!  Now, I'm supposed to get a k-k-k-kiss...?"  She forced a smile onto her face, but her eyes were dilated in barely suppressed panic...

  5. ((OOC:  Breaking response to Night Glider and and AJ into before and after freak out))

     

      Talking to Night Glider, Fluttershy found herself in an unusual situation:  Comforting another pony that seemed shy and nervous.  It was usually other ponies comforting her!  "Oh, don't worry!  I'm happy to help out a friend!" she told the dark pegasus, putting a hoof on her shoulder.  With a big grin, she added, "Just wait until I introduce you to all of the animals!!

    Every nerve in Fluttershy's body was screaming at her to fly away, but at the same time, her intense embarrassment froze her in place.  Her eyes dilated, and she imagined that the eyes of all the creatures in the line were staring at her.  Most customers were arriving, making the feeling worse.  Eventually, the impulse to move would take to the fore, but for now it was a stalemate.

     

    Thankfully, Applejack had some experience dealing with Fluttershy's panic attacks.  The orange mare soothed the flustered pegasus, easing her wings down.  As Applejack explained, Fluttershy's heart began to slow. "I...  I guess that doesn't sound so bad..."  she managed.  This was still uncomfortable, but at least it wouldn't be a kiss kiss.  As she caught her breath, she read the signs closer.  "Um, Applejack?" she asked the farmer.  "I-if I'm getting two bushels, does that mean it has to be two kisses?"

  6. Fluttershy smiled encouragingly at Night Glider.  The pegasus sounded as though she were nervous, or at least unused to talking to ponies.  No real surprise, considering the conditions she had lived under in Starlight Glimmer's village.  Remembering the distance that they had traveled to reach the village when she and her friends had gone, Fluttershy could sympathize with Night Glider's weariness.  "Goodness, I can understand!  I know I couldn't fly that far, day or night, but riding on trains can tire you out just as much!"  Hesitantly, she offered "Well, um, if you need to rest, you could stay with me, or maybe one of the other girls.  And I'm sure Rainbow Dash could help you with the Weather Bureau paperwork, if you need help, I mean."

     

    Fluttershy was a little confused when Night Glider referred to 'Sanctuary.'  However, after a moment, she realized what the mare meant.  "Oh!  You named the village!" she said in understanding.  The little settlement had just been called 'Our Town' originally.  Smiling. she added, "It's very nice!  And appropriate, I think."

     

    It was only then that Fluttershy turned her attention back to Applejack.  "Oh!  No wonder you have such a crowd!"  she said brightly.  "I just need my usual two bushels, and..."  Fluttershy trailed off as the last part of what Applejack has said finally sank in.  "W-w-what?  K-k-kiss??"  she stuttered, her eyes going wide.  Her eyes locked on the signs on the booth, actually reading them for the first time.  She was suddenly very aware of the other ponies in line.  There were at least six ponies in line behind her, and a griffon that had just arrived as well.  Not to mention all of AJ's family with her...  Fluttershy began breathing hard, her wings flared as her flight response kicked in involuntarily.  "I...I... I couldn't... I mean...  in front of...  I...  I'll just come back later..."  she stammered, but found her hooves unable to move...

  7. Yes, really old thread, and that's why the link doesn't work anymore. Ponibooru used to be the main Pony art site, but it shut down way back during S2 i think. So someone else bought the URL and linked it to some sewage site. I've got a download of all of the clean art from that site in storage :)

  8. Fluttershy drew back with a blush at Presteza's suggestion that she was 'cute.'  Despite her brief career as a model, the pegasus had trouble thinking of herself in those terms.  She gave the artist a weak smile when asked if she would pose with he snake friends.  Presteza had painted her once before, and the artist's speed had made the expirience... well, not terrible.  "Um, I, guess that would be OK..." she answered.  "B-but I've never heard of anypony wanting to paint snakes!

     

    Looking around, Fluttershy was surprised to see she was at the front of the line!  Both of the princesses had departed already, and Applejack was hailing her from the stand.  Smiling at her friend, she stepped forward.  "Hello Applejack!"  she greeting her friend happily.  Taking notice of the other members of AJ's family nearby, she said, "And Hello Mrs. Smith!  Oh, and Mr. Strudel!"  The older stallion was not usualy a resident of Ponyville, but she recognized him from previous visits.  Fluttershy's eyes then rose... and rose, to meet the eyes of Applejack's brother.  Her very tall, very... muscular brother.  "H-hi... Big Macintosh..."  she told the red stallion.  She found herself staring for just a moment.  She heard little Applebloom's voice shouting... something about the sale that was going on, but most of the message went in one ear and out the other...

     

    Fluttershy forced her focus back to Applejack.  With a smile she commented, "My, you really seem to be doing good business today!  Are you having a sale today?"  She pulled back a moment to look up at the sign above the booth, but she found herself distracted by a dark pegasus mare coming in for a landing, and crashing right into Applebloom!  Her jaw dropped open in surprise;  she recognized this mare!  "Oh my goodness!  NIght Glider?  What are you doing here?" she asked, excitedly

  9. Oh please... any "serious discussion" on this is speculation at best. Yes, Scootaloo probably has parents living in Ponyville. We know next to nothing about her home life, except that she has a house and a room. When one of the writers decides to do a Scootaloo story, we might find more. Same with Fluttershy's family.

  10. I just watched Disney's Hercules last night. I'd never actually watched it from the very beginning. Theres a scene where Zeus creates Pegasus from a few clouds. This prooves my theory!! Pegusii are born directly from the clouds, and have no parents! [emoji14]

  11. 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."

  12. 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..."

  13. Fluttershy began to relax as first Applejack and Princess Celestia both agreed that there was no way that Twilight could be pregnant. The girls spent much of their time around the new Princess, and there was no way that they wouldn't know if Twilight even had a colt-friend. Why, Rarity would probably be ecstatic if Twilight even showed interest in a stallion! Fluttershy dismissed her earlier doubts as just nerves.

    Princess Cadence was looking rather embarrassed about her outburst, and Fluttershy kept a hoof on her shoulder as she comforted the alicorn. "Its OK, Cadence, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding." At that moment, Fluttershy suddenly remembered who she was speaking to. While she considered Cadence a friend, and she was well familiar with Celestia, they were both princesses. The pegasus stepped back, giving each of the alicorns a quick but respectful bow. "Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence!" she said in belated greeting. "This is rather unexpected! What brings both of you to Ponyville?"

    When a pale yellow unicorn approached her, Fluttershy's eyes lit up in recognition. "Hello, Miss Presteza!" she said, brightly. The artist pony had been one who had adopted a pet from her during her adoption fair. She had also painted a picture of her and 2 of her other customers in a remarkably short time. When the unicorn greeted her, a brightly colored fruit bat fluttered up out of her saddle bags. Fluttershy put up a hoof for the bat to land on. "And hello to you too, Fresco!" the greeted the little creature. Turning back to Presteza, Fluttershy told her, "Oh, everything at the shelter is wonderful! A nest of milk snakes just hatched, and they are the cutest little things!" Looking at the little bat, Fluttershy asked her "Well Fresco, are you having fun with Presteza?"
