[Action / Voice]

[shying]

[Sometime this afternoon, one might notice something yellow and pink darting around in the woods, trying to be sneaky and failing miserably at it. Fluttershy has arrived, but she's very lost and very frightened, and while these woods are oddly familiar, it hasn't quite clicked with her where she is yet. And she seems to have already misplaced her journal... care to give her a guiding hoof hand?

Later on, when she's gotten herself somewhat established, her first visit will be to the Pony House, AKA House 45, to see if her friends are still there. (And then hopefully move herself in, because this place is kind of scary when rolling solo.)

After that, she'll spend some quality time in the plaza, still sticking somewhat close to the buildings as she's not used to being here yet, observing and looking awfully out of place. And eventually she'll track her journal down, at which point you get an entry that pretty much just shows her ears. She's not sure how this all goes yet.]

Um... h-hello? Is this working? I'm not sure it's working... oh! I'm sorry, my goodness, I- ...hello again... m-my name is Fluttershy. I wanted to... um, I mean, I thought I could... that is...

....

...eep!

[...yeah, nevermind.]

[As soon as Dash heard Fluttershy's message, she decided to head out and find her. So, while she's out in the plaza, she may spot a familiar burst of rainbow before a blue speck rockets down, closer and closer until.]

Fluttershy!

[...skidding to a stop juuuust a few feet away. 'sup?]

[shying]

[SCREAM RAINBOW DASH YOU DON'T JUST JUMP PONIES LIKE THAT- oh.]

Rainbow Dash! Oh, I'd heard you were here, but...!

[Words don't come close to describing her relief for finding a familiar face, so instead, have a happy pony hug.]

[wannabolt]

Whoa!

[Surprise hug. Juuust give her a second before she reciprocates it. She'd be lying if she said she didn't miss her fellow pegasus pal!]

Hey, they've kept me here this long. I doubt I'm going anywhere fast.

[shying]

[She tries not to cling, but it really is so good to see someone from home. It's pretty scary being surrounded by strangers who look nothing like what she's used to.

...Not... that there's anything wrong with being different! She's not about to entertain that train of thought at all. But they are terrifying okay.]

This long...? How long have you been here? Didn't you get to go home at all?

[wannabolt]

[She shakes her head, letting out a soft sigh.]

Nope. I've been stuck here for more than a year now. Heck, it's getting closer to two years.

[And after her little experience in the draft, she's become even more homesick than before. She's just gonna try to shove any signs of wariness aside.]

But hey, Twilight's here now, so that's one more familiar face. Plus, she's got wings! How cool is that?

[shying]

Oh no, I'm so sorry...

[Two years... that's such a terribly long time to be away from home. Now she's even more worried than before.

That comment about Twilight, though... whoa.]

...Wings? You mean the wings that all of us have here...?

[rainbooms]

[Twilight is a good distraction from the unpleasant. And to emphasize her point, Dash flutters higher into the air.]

No, I mean real wings! We're talking a full blown alicorn Princess Twilight!

[shying]

Twilight... an alicorn?

[Whoa, headtrip. Fluttershy needs a moment for that to sink in.]

That's amazing...

[wannabolt]

Isn't it? Sure, it was kinda weird at first, but now she can fly! I've got a potential pupil just waiting to learn the ropes.

[She smirks, rubbing her hooves together.]

Plus, I bet she did something huge to get there! How often do you even hear about ponies becoming alicorns? It's sure news to me.

[shying]

I've never heard of that happening, no... but Twilight is special, so I'm sure it's because of all her hard work.

[She can't imagine someone deserving such an upgrade more than Twilight Sparkle. Powerful, but also humble? And so close with Princess Celestia, too. It makes sense that she'd be the one to become a princess.]

[wannabolt]

It's gotta be! I mean, Twilight's done a whole lot more than just save Equestria. All those letters she writes, plus all the time she spends doing egghead stuff... It's definitely some hardcore dedication.

[And princesses probably have to do a lot of that, anyway. Celestia's bound to have her hooves full, at the very least.]

[shying]

You shouldn't say egghead, Rainbow Dash, it's very important work...

[She knows it's just RD being herself, but still, it's not very nice.]

How is her flying? Does she like the lessons?

[wannabolt]

Hey, just because it's important doesn't make it any less nerdy, Fluttershy.

[But hey, she can't fault Twilight's smarts.]

And her flying's okay. Bit of a bumpy start, but I'll have her zipping through the sky in no time flat.

[shying]

I can't wait to see it. Maybe someday we can all fly together.

[Though Rainbow Dash would probably fly circles around the both of them. Still, it sounds like it might be fun.]

[wannabolt]

That would be so awesome! Heck, we could totally go out to the mountains or the beach. This place is starting to warm up.

[And beaches are cool, okay?]

[shying]

Oh, that's right, I'd forgotten there was a beach. I'd love to see it again!

[There were all kinds of cute fish and colourful birds and flowers and the water was lovely and aaaaaa nature.]
