Fluttershy's cottage; The home of the quiet animal-loving pegasus

The pleasant house of the shy animal-loving pegasus is located as far from the hubbub of Ponyville as possible. The tree house is located by the river and all around the house is a beautiful and well-cared for meadow garden. The sound of birds can always be heard regardless of the time of day and animals of all descriptions make the area their home.

++++

Sketch follows Mane Cureall as she trots over the bridge towards a sizeable cottage, which blends in with the surrounding flora to the extent that it almost looks organic. The sound of birds singing their even-song is everywhere. Added to this sound is a pure-sounding and perfectly pitched mare's voice, coming from inside.

"Now as I said the poor thing is shy as a pup around strangers, so if you hoof me the poor fella I'll ask her if she can take him in. Is that ok?"

She asks.

"No problem." Sketch says, as he carefully lifts the young bat out.

"Do you think the mother should also be with the young one?" Sketch asks, thinking of how worried the mother would undoubtedly be for her child's safety.

The mare's eyes widen with shock as she sees the other bat.

"I suppose..."

She says uncertainly.

Turning back to the door to the cottage, she knocks softly on the door. The singing abruptly stops. Sketch's trained (artistic) eye notices a curtain in one of the window's to his right part slightly; as he looks he notices a flash of pink illuminated in the light spilling out into the dusk.

After another second Mrs Mane puts her pony ear to the door and nods, as if having heard something.

"I'm sorry to disturb you dear, but I wondered if you might do me a favour?"

The veterinary mare strains her ear against the door.

"What was that?"

Another silence.

"Oh he's quite alright now, he's just got a bit of chicken-flu and he'll be king of the roost again in no time."

Another silence.

"Oh, it's no problem dear, don't let us interrupt your dinner."

This time the silence is broken by a plaintive squeak by the little bat. At this the door flies open, revealing a graceful yellow pegasus mare with a flowing pink mane. She doesn't notice Sketch but focuses immediately on the little bat.

"Oh my! The poor little thing."

She coos, flapping to the bat and cradling it gently.

"There there little guy."

Suddenly she notices Sketch standing there; she stops, her face flushes, and she mutters something inaudible to him.

"I'm sorry? I can't hear what you're saying. Could you please speak a bit louder?" Sketch asks politely.

Sketch can barely make out the word.

"Hi."

The pegasus' pink mane falls over her eyes and her cheeks go noticeably scarlet.

"Hello there. You must be Fluttershy. It's nice to meet you." Sketch says with a warm smile.

"Her name is rather fitting..." Sketch says in his head, noting how shy she seems to be around other ponies.

The yellow mare looks down and doesn't respond immediately to Sketch's greeting.

The young bat squeaks again, prompting the mother bat to flap from your saddlebags towards the youngster.

"Oh my! Two fruit-bats!"

The mare exclaims, at normal volume.

"Oh- yes. Mr Sketch here thinks that it might be the mother."

Mrs Mane explains.

"It's ok, I'll have him right as rain in no time."

Fluttershy addresses the mother bat.

Turning back to Sketch she says:

"Uhm... I think he's ok, just a bit sore."

"Thank you for your help, Fluttershy." Sketch says, kindly and sincerely.

Fluttershy brushes her mane out of her face and smiles at Sketch.

"It's no problem."

Fluttershy says, a bit more audibly.

The vet's tummy rumbles.

"Well thank you again dear. I'd best be getting back..."

The vet says, a little impatiently.

"Oh. Yes."

Fluttershy nods.

"Nice to meet you Sketch."

"It's nice to meet you too. By the way, when should I return to pick them back up?" Sketch asks with a bit of relief that the young fruitbat will recover quickly.

The mother bat squeaks impatiently.

"Oh my Mrs Strawberry such language!"

Fluttershy turns back to Sketch.

"Uhm... they'll fly back when they're ready?"

She mumbles.

"No problem. I'll just wait at my house with the young one's father until then." Sketch responds.

Fluttershy nods.

"Goodbye then. Thanks again!"

Mrs Mane turns to go.

"Oh, goodbye."

The yellow pegasus says, looking self-conscious.

Sketch follows Pinkie all the way to Fluttershy's cottage.

"Well, here we are." Sketch states the obvious.

Pinkie cocks her head quizzically.

"Duh? Why would I lead you here if it wasn't Fluttershy's cottage!? It's not like a ever take ponies the wrong way or anything... well unless we're in an orchard, but then really those places are so full of apples it's a suprise anypony can think with all those tasty round balls just above your head just waiting to fall into your open mouth-"

Pinkie's tongue begins to loll as she slips into an apple-reverie.

Sketch has to sypathise a bit though. As a pony, he friggin loves apples. Ponies really just love apples. :P

"I can't argue with that. Apples are delicious." Sketch nods.

"Pinkie, why do you think Fluttershy is so... well, shy around other ponies?" Sketch asks, thinking back to his previous encounters with the yellow and pink pony.

Pinkie strokes her chin with a cute pink hoof.

"Weeell it's just the way someponies are I guess."

Pinkie responds, a bit more seriously.

As they were talking both Sketch and Pinkie had trotted up to the door.

Pinkie reaches out a hoof and gives a very gentle knock.

Sketch nods, facing the door. "Hello?" Sketch calls, gently as to (hopefully) not startle Fluttershy.

Pinkie raises a hoof to her lips and shakes her head.

"Hello, Fluttershy?"

She calls out in her sing song voice.

"Oh! Pinkie. I was worried it was... is somepony else there with you?"

She asks.

"Yes! My good friend Mr Sketch!"

Now she gestures to Sketch to speak.
