PonyHooves

Spike sighed softly. He had forgotten that Rarity was leaving to visit her family for a short period of time. The dragon was starting to miss seeing Rarity on a regular basis. He had grown really attatched to the mare. Pinkie Pie had told him that it would still be tons of fun. Yet somehow, Spike couldn't believe that. He put on a brave face and replied. "I guess it could still be fun." Dark Spark seemed interested in Fluttershy. But the mare was unsure of the reason. 'Well, I shouldn't be rude... Everypony deserves a chance to be listened to. But what does he want to talk about? I only know about animals. Perhaps he's got a pet that he needs some advice on.' Fluttershy thought to her self. "Umm.. I guess I can listen to what you want to say. Oh... Light, I've known Twilight ever since the day she came to Ponyville." She replied to both of their questions.

Golden heard the voice of a pegasus in the waiting room. He calmly trotted out into the waiting room. He saw a pegasus shaking and coughing. The blue pegasus looked at though he had the flu. A bad case of the flu. But, Golden didn't want to jump to conclusions. It was always a wise idea to health check the patient before coming to conclusions. However, the pegasus looked weak. Golden Heart decided to carry him into the examination room. He carefully lifted the stallion onto his back. "You leave all of the work to me..." He told the stallion as he started to walk.

Spike was taking a little break. However, he wasn't reading a book. He was looking at his reflection in the mirror. Spike was flexing away at his upper body to see if he had any new muscle growth. His arms had not changed in the slightest. But the baby dragon teased his self into believing that he was a tough guy. He then spotted Pinkie Pie and immediatly stopped gazing into his own reflection. "Hi Pinkie! Is Rarity coming here too?" Fluttershy nodded in response to Light's question. But first she had to dismiss the birds. They needed to know that practice time was over and they were free to have fun. "Okay little bird friends... You can go and fly together now. Thank you for coming over." Fluttershy watched as all of the birds gradually disbanded off in different directions. The robin was the last to take flight. She smiled a gentle smile. They were all happy. The pegasus began to lead the way.

The green mare watched at the train came into view. It came to a gentle stop right before her eyes. The earth pony smiled at the thought of seeing her friends again. Yet a little thought at the back of her mind kept telling her that something would always be missing. Her mutt was the missing friend. Paw Print first met all of her friends when she had her elderly mutt by her side. But this time, she didn't haver her dog. Tricks was at rest. Paw Print put on a brave smile and remembered what her father had told her when she was grieving. "One mutt dies at the same time as another mutt is born. Another stray companion will be needing you to love him someday."

Welcome to Canterlot.

Paw Print remembered that she would be meeting her old friends today. She was already in Stalliongrad. The mare had a feeling that her friends may arrive on the train. The green earth pony calmly made her way to Stalliongrad train station. Once she was there, Paw Print waited alone.

"Twilght is one of my best friends. She is talented... But everypony has talent in them." Fluttershy replied in a gentle tone.

"I've got it." Pixie said. "Pixie... There's a hole in it." Gerty said as she noticed a rather large hole in the center of the glittering blindfold. "But this is the only blindfold we have." Pixie Parcel replied. "It's been in the family for years... I knew we'd end up replacing it eventually, so I picked up a few spares. I'll just go and get one." Golden told his daughter. Golden Heart left the room to get another blindfold. However Pixie Parcel was attatched to the old one. She didn't want it to be replaced. It held too many precious memories. Gerty saw the glazed look in her daughter's eyes and moved closer to her. "We won't get rid of it... I know it's special to you. But it's useless for playing pin the tail on the pony with. You can have it to keep." Gerty told her. Pixie smiled. She could keep the special blindfold as a keepsake of her childhood. The mare hugged her mother, feeling a sense of joy once again. Golden Heart returned at that moment with a plain blue blindfold.

Fluttershy didn't seem too pleased about Fire Fight's boasting. However, she didn't want to hurt her feelings or seem rude. The pegasus cared about each and every pony and never wanted to cause them any trouble or grief. Dark Spark seemed to be taking a stand. Fluttershy didn't want to get involved because she didn't want to argue with anypony. Her eyes widened when Light asked who Trixie was. Fluttershy shuddered at the memory of that boastful mare making an appearance in Ponyville. She looked at Light and said. "Trixie is a unicorn who told everypony that she had the most powerful magic in all of Equestria... She was... Quite mean and she told lies."

Gerty smiled at the drawing. "It's beautiful." She was a kind soul. Gerty also wanted to encourage Dinky to be creative. The mare knew that creativity was a great way to express emotions. The art produced by ponies who put their emotions into their work was quite inspirational. She had learned to seek inspiration and feelings from art because of her mother who was a skilled artist. She wanted the foal to be able to release her feelings in a constructive way and it seemed as though Dinky was already doing so.

Fluttershy smiled when Light kindly gave her a red robin. She loved all animals both great and small. His simple kind actions made her forget about feeling timid. It made her feel a sense of joy that warmed her heart. Light was a kind stallion towards such a timid mare. Fluttershy looked at Light as she began to speak more confidently once again. "Thank you. Birds have very good singing voices, but most ponies only notice it when they are trained to sing a song."

Welcome to Canterlot.

Whisperpaw saw the ropes tie him down. He felt the warm bed covers touch his soft fur. He heard the rain pelting down outside. There was no lightning. The voices of ponies had seemed to have drifted away into quiet chatter and the odd clatter of hooves racing for cover was slowly dying down. The stallion thought that the rain must have brought an end to any hope of joyful out door activities. He could cope with the hushing sound of the falling rain. It was as if it was trying to silence Equestria. HeartBeat suddenly laid down on the bed with Whisperpaw. When she whispered in his ear, a shiver went down his spine. It seemed too close for comfort. But the unicorn couldn't back away. He was tied down. Whisperpaw had very limited magic too. He could only use it to help rabbits find wild growing carrots. He looked over to her and whispered. "Very..."

Fluttershy became nervous. She immediatly stared at the ground. After a few minutes she whispered in a tone that was barely audible. "I'm Fluttershy..."
