tally ho, Prince Fluttershy! it's time for a fairy tale plot in paradisa!

[3_butterflies]

W-w-w-wait a minute! You... signed me up to be a prince? And I have to save Princess Luna? A-are you sure you didn't misread...?

But I'm not a prince! I can't save anypony! Twilight would do a much better job! Oh no, no, no...

... And... isn't Sleeping Beauty the one where the princess is woken up by a... by a... by a...

Help.

That's the Fluttershy I know and love.

[She pats her on the head and ruffles her mane affectionately.]

Don't worry, you'll get through this alright. I believe in you.

[Believe in she who believes in you, Fluttershy!]

[3_butterflies]

[raw raw, fight da power. She ducks her head shyly, but she's smiling from ear to ear.]

I'll... do my best for you, and everypony. I swear. Even if I don't like it... Luna will need help, so... I have to try.

[friendyousohard]

[Well, that's an improvement at least.]

Good. I can feel alright about the princess if she's in your hooves.

[3_butterflies]

[Smile... but.]

... Besides, I think your brother would get really angry if we changed places.

[Oh boy, that upper thread. Good luck if you decide dating, Twily.]

[friendyousohard]

[Siiiigh. Oh BBBFF.]

Shining would live. Though maybe he'd prefer to take the spot himself if he's so worried.

[Wonder what Cadence would think of that?]

[3_butterflies]

No wonder he's such a good guard... and I'd trade if I could. Isn't he technically a prince now...?

[friendyousohard]

Well he's got the protective part down, at least. And... well yes, technically. I guess he's about equal with Blueblood in rank?

[3_butterflies]

I don't think anypony could equal with Blueblood.

[Ick.]

[friendyousohard]

Well, I'm sure my big brother wouldn't let rank go to his head that way.

... And even if he did, I'd kick it out of him.

[3_butterflies]

I don't think he'll change too much between you and Cadence.

[friendyousohard]

My thoughts exactly. I don't think we have much to worry about.

[3_butterflies]

If I can trust you, then I can trust that.

[friendyousohard]

And you can always trust me.

[shine_on_armor]

Oh? Think you could break through my shield spell, Twily?

[friendyousohard]

Is that a challenge?

[shine_on_armor]

Maybe. I want to see if you've gotten as good as everypony says.

You never were able to get past my spell.

[friendyousohard]

I'd never taken down a renegade Princess or the incarnation of all Chaos back then, either. Face facts, BBBFF. Your little sister's all grown up.

[shine_on_armor]

... Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I just wish it wasn't happening so fast.

[friendyousohard]

Oh come on, Shining. You sound like Mom and Dad.

[shine_on_armor]

Heh. I guess that means I'm ready to be a parent.

Seriously, though, Twily, I'm happy you've finally made some friends.

[friendyousohard]

Yeah, and it only took a little thing like the near end of the world, right? [She laughs self-consciously.]

... Seriously, it's great to have them.

[shine_on_armor]

Now all we need is to get you a very special somepony!

[friendyousohard]

Weren't you the one who was saying I wasn't allowed to date until I'm over a thousand?

[shine_on_armor]

Not allowed to date anypony I don't approve of.

How about Pony Joe? He's always had a thing for you~

[friendyousohard]

... Okay, one, I'm pretty sure he's twice my age. Two, I barely know him. Three, no no no no no.
