It was currently the middle of the day in Ponyville as (Y/N) and Twilight are seen walking and chatting together. (Y/N) was currently on his way home after running a couple of errands and Twilight was heading to the Everfree Forest to get some of her tea from Zecora.

(Y/N): It's kind of surprising how tea is actually such a calming beverage isn't it?

Twilight Sparkle: Yep, it's just the right thing to have on you when you're feeling stressed. Sometimes I drink it while I'm studying.

(Y/N): Y'know, back on my world I learned that there was actually one country on Earth that's crazy about tea.

Twilight Sparkle: Really? What's it called?

(Y/N): I think it was called. . . England. Those kinds of countries love and I mean LOVE tea. At specific times in the day they have a moment called tea time.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow, that sounds interesting.

Just then a large yell was heard as it definitely got (Y/N)'s attention.

???: (Y/N)!!!

(Y/N): Oh no. I know those voices.

Soon enough, (Y/N) was tackled to the ground by a blur and it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They were currently playing very roughly with him as Apple Bloom was playing on (Y/N)'s back, Sweetie Belle was on his face patting his head roughly, and Scootaloo was biting his tail.

(Y/N): Ow! Ow! Okay, stop! It's nice to see you girls- Ow! I'm not some kind of toy! Hey, stop that tickles! *laughs*

Twilight chuckled at seeing the Cutie Mark Crusaders play around with (Y/N) and then Fluttershy approaches her.

Twilight Sparkle: Hello, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: Oh! Hello, Twilight. Where are you off to?

Twilight Sparkle: I'm heading to the Everfree Forest to Zecora's to get some of my favorite tea.

Fluttershy: Th-The Everfree Forest? Ah, you'll be careful, won't you?

Twilight Sparkle: Of course! How about you? What are you doing with the girls?

Fluttershy: Rarity has a big order to fill tonight, so I volunteered to take the girls over to my cottage for a sleepover.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow. Sounds like everypony has their hooves full today. Taking care of those three fillies all by yourself? You sure you can handle it?

Fluttershy: What? These sweet little angels? They'll be no problem at all.

Twilight and Fluttershy look back again towards (Y/N) as he was still trying to get the Cutie Mark Crusaders off his body as he was able to get Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle off.

Twilight Sparkle: *chuckles* They seem to be more interested in (Y/N) however.

(Y/N): Scootaloo! Let go of my tail!

(Y/N) shakes his tail to get Scootaloo to let go of him as she did and she joined back with the other two Crusaders.

(Y/N): Wow! Some ponies are excited about something. What's gotten you girls to get so hyper today?

Apple Bloom: We're having a sleepover at Fluttershy's cottage!

(Y/N): Oh really?

Sweetie Belle: Yeah, we were supposed to have a sleepover at my sister's, but. . . I may have made a teensy little mistake and now we get to sleepover at Fluttershy's place.

(Y/N): Causing mischief again Sweetie Belle?

Sweetie Belle blushed at little in embarrassment at that question.

Sweetie Belle: Maybe.

(Y/N): Well, I hope you girls have fun with your little sleepover, I'm actually about to go home.

Scootaloo then get's an idea as she goes wide-eyed.

Scootaloo: Wait! Can you come along and play with us?

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at that.

(Y/N): Wait what?

Scootaloo: Come on, it'll be fun. Besides we don't really get to hang with you often.

Apple Bloom: That's a great idea Scootaloo. Can you come with us to Fluttershy's cottage (Y/N).

(Y/N): Eh. . . I don't know.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Pleeeeeassse!

The three Crusaders then give (Y/N) puppy dog eyes as (Y/N) couldn't resist that and he got a defeated look on his face.

(Y/N): *sighs* . . .Okay.

The Crusaders then all yelled which caused (Y/N), Twilight, and Fluttershy to cover their ears.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SLEEPOVER AT FLUTTERSHY'S COTTAGE WITH (Y/N)!

Fluttershy then flies over towards (Y/N).

Fluttershy: Oh, (Y/N). You don't have to do that. I can babysit the girls perfectly fine on my own.

(Y/N): Nah, I'm going to do this. Besides, they seemed pretty eager to have me over at your place. You don't mind if I stay at you place for the night with you, do you Fluttershy?

Fluttershy blushed at that as she had a thought in her mind.

Fluttershy: (Thoughts) (Y/N). . . sleeping along with me? Oh, my this will be wonderful. (Out of Thoughts) O-Of course not (Y/N). I don't mind at all.

Sweetie Belle: So you're really coming?

(Y/N): Yes, but while we're there I want you girls to stay on your best behavior, okay?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Okay.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then go over to play near a well while (Y/N) turns to Fluttershy.

(Y/N): Are you sure you're up for this Fluttershy? I mean I've foalsitted Sweetie Belle, but do you really think you can handle those three little fillies?

Fluttershy: These sweet little angels? They'll be no problem at all.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then stand in front of (Y/N) with angel halos over their heads which made him raise an eyebrow and he shrugs his shoulders.

(Y/N): Well, alright then. Let's get moving.

It was now currently night time at Fluttershy's cottage as she closes the door and when she looked back along with (Y/N), they both see The Cutie Mark Crusaders zipping around all over the place and they both looked at each other and jaw dropped.

Fluttershy: No. . . problem at all.

(Y/N): Alright, girls is there anything you all want to do first?

(Y/N)'s words fell on deaf ears as The Cutie Mark Crusaders started talking to each other loudly.

Scootaloo: I'm gonna get my mark first!

Fluttershy: Girls?

Sweetie Belle: Nuh-uh!

Fluttershy: Should we. . .

Apple Bloom: I am!

Fluttershy: Girls, okay now settle-

Scootaloo then jumps onto Angel's little bed which scares him off and the other Crusaders join her.

Scootaloo: I'm staying up all night!

Apple Bloom: Me too!

Sweetie Belle: Me three!

(Y/N) rolls his eyes and smirks at that.

(Y/N): (Thoughts) That's what all of the young ones say, but in the end I know they'll crash eventually. (Out of Thoughts) Now girls, I know you all are very excited about the sleepover, but we want to hear what you girls want to do so we can do it for you.

Scootaloo then walks up beside (Y/N).

Scootaloo: We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!

Apple Bloom: And we want to crusade for our cutie marks!

Sweetie Belle then jumps on (Y/N)'s head.

Sweetie Belle: And, and, and, we, um. . . yeah! What they said!

Fluttershy: Mmm, I don't know. . . how about a nice quiet little tea party?

(Y/N): Yeah, that actually sounds quite lovely.

Scootaloo: Or. . . we could go adventuring in the Everfree Forest!

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: Yeah!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then try to run out of the door, but Fluttershy and (Y/N) flew in front of them to stop them from recklessly leaving.

(Y/N): No! No! and No! The Everfree Forest is off limits, understand?

Fluttershy: He's right. The Everfree Forest is much too dangerous. It's filled with far too many strange creatures.

Sweetie Belle: But you two could go with us and (Y/N), you have power to deal with anything in the Everfree Forest and we could then catch those creatures. We could be, umm. . . creature catchers!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER CREATURE CATCHERS!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders yell once again that it was like wind to Fluttershy and (Y/N) covered his ears.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo then take a tiny little basket and a blanket and Scootaloo got on top of Apple Bloom to wrap the blanket around them and Scootaloo put the basket on her head to look like a tall creature.

Scootaloo: Rarrr! I am a dangerous creature from the Everfree Forest! Rrrarr!

Sweetie Belle didn't know at first how to play along as they approach her until she got an idea.

Sweetie Belle: Halt, dangerous creature of the Everfree Forest. I am Sweetie Belle, the creature catcher, and I'm here to catch you!

Scootaloo: You can never catch me! I am far too powerful and dangerous!

Sweetie Belle: You cannot run from me!

Sweetie Belle then starts chasing them as they all formed a tiny little game of tag and both Fluttershy and (Y/N) had no idea how to respond at any of this.

(Y/N): Well. . . something tells me that this will be a long night. Uh, girls how about about a nice game of hide and seek?

The girls didn't listen to that as they kept running all over the place.

Fluttershy: Now girls, how about we do some nice coloring?

The girls didn't listen to that either as Sweetie Belle hopped over the two.

Sweetie Belle: Come back, dangerous creature, so I can catch you!

Scootaloo: Never!

The little game of tag was getting out of hand as they all knocking over some stuff and (Y/N) tried his best to try to not let any breakable things crash onto the floor.

Fluttershy: Careful. . . you don't. . .

A loud crash was heard as The Cutie Mark Crusaders had broken a small wooden table.

Fluttershy: . . . break anything.

The Crusaders looked down at the table with guilt as they lowered themselves to the ground.

Sweetie Belle: Sorry, Fluttershy.

Scootaloo: Yeah, sorry.

(Y/N): I thought I told you girls to stay on your best behavior. You should know better not to play tag in the house like that.

Apple Bloom: You're right, (Y/N). Sorry, I guess we aren't creature catchers.

Fluttershy: Oh, girls it's okay. I-

Apple Bloom interrupted Fluttershy as she got an idea in her head.

Apple Bloom: I know! We could be Cutie Mark Crusader carpenters!

Fluttershy: C-Carpenters?

(Y/N): Wait, how can you be-

The Cutie Mark Crusaders run past the two as they came back to the broken table wearing a doctor's outfit with stethoscopes around their necks.

Apple Bloom: Hammer!

Scootaloo: Hammer.

Scootaloo grabs a hammer and passes it to Sweetie Belle who passes it to Apple Bloom.

Sweetie Belle: Hammer!

Scootaloo: Hammer.

Scootaloo then grabs another hammer and passes it to Sweetie Belle.

Scootaloo: Hammer! . . .Hammer.

Scootaloo then grabs herself a hammer. Just as the Cutie Mark Crusaders were about to try and fix the table, (Y/N) pulled the hammers out of each of their mouths with his magic and he gives them a stern look.

(Y/N): You three are definitely not playing with those. Besides. . .

(Y/N) then glowed his horn and with his magic, in a single poof the table was back to how it originally looked.

(Y/N): There, good as new.

Fluttershy: Thank you (Y/N).

Sweetie Belle: Eh, who wants a picture of a hammer on their flank anyway?

Fluttershy: Well, now that we've gotten that out of the way, how about a game?

Apple Bloom: A game?

The Crusaders then sit together on a nearby couch.

(Y/N): Of course, and since you three have been so rowdy today, I think we have the perfect game that we can play.

Fluttershy: It's called "Shhh!"

The Crusaders recoiled in disgust from that name.

Scootaloo: What's that?

Fluttershy: Well, it's a game about who can be quiet the longest. Sound fun?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders all had bored looks on their faces as they definitely didn't want to do something like that.

(Y/N): Fluttershy's here is the world champ at being quiet.

Fluttershy: That's right. I bet you can't beat me!

Both Fluttershy and (Y/N) take a deep breath before puffing their cheeks out. However, the game didn't last long as the Crusaders all zipped off of the couch to play around the cottage again.

Scootaloo: Lame! I lose!

Sweetie Belle: Me too!

Apple Bloom: Me three!

Both (Y/N) and Fluttershy sighed at that as they looked at each other.

(Y/N): I kind of had a feeling they wouldn't enjoy something like that.

Fluttershy: Oh, (Y/N). What should we do? At this rate, we're losing control over them at this point.

(Y/N): Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm sure we can get through this. Maybe they should just take a rest.

Fluttershy nods at that and they then both looked to see Apple Bloom come from the fireplace covered in soot.

Apple Bloom: Okay, now what can we do? Oooh! How about Cutie Mark Crusader coal miners?

The other crusaders then appeared from the fireplace covered in soot as well.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Yeah!

Fluttershy and (Y/N): NO!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Awwww!

(Y/N) then uses his magic to bring the crusaders out of the fireplace and he shakes the soot off of them and sits each of them down.

(Y/N): Look, I think we have had enough today trying to find out your special talents. I think it's time that you three go to bed.

Fluttershy: Exactly, aren't you excited to get all toasty and warm in your snuggly-wuggly widdle beds?

Apple Bloom: Snuggly-wuggly? But we have more crusadin' to do!

Scootaloo: We've got plans!

Sweetie Belle: And capes!

(Y/N): Well, that's going to have to wait until morning you three. It's time for you all to go to sleep.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders had disappointed looks a lot as they all walk upstairs.

Fluttershy and (Y/N) guide the crusaders up to a little guest bedroom that she had and the Crusaders got on the bed with conflicted looks on their faces.

Apple Bloom: How are we gonna find our special talent in our sleep?

Fluttershy then blows out a candle to darken the room.

Fluttershy: Maybe you'll have a lovely little dream about your special talent.

Scootaloo: But we're not even tired!

(Y/N): Well either way, playtime is over for today so we both want you three little girls to get some sleep.

Sweetie Belle: Well, how can we force ourselves to sleep then?

Fluttershy: How about I sing you a lullaby?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders agreed to this as Fluttershy starts her lullaby.

Fluttershy: ♪ Hush now, quiet now ♪

♪ It's time to lay your sleepy head ♪

♪ Hush now, quiet now ♪

♪ It's time to go to bed ♪

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were slowly drifting to sleep until Sweetie Belle blurted something out.

Sweetie Belle: I know this one!

(Y/N): Really? Well, then why don't you sing along with Fluttershy then? Perhaps it will let you get to sleep faster.

Sweetie Belle clears her throat and she sang in a different and louder tone of voice which surprised (Y/N) and Fluttershy.

Sweetie Belle: ♪ Hush now! Quiet now! ♪

♪ It's time to lay your sleepy head! ♪

♪ Said hush now! Quiet now! ♪

♪ It's time to go to bed! ♪

Fluttershy: Okay Sweetie, that was. . .

Sweetie Belle ignored Fluttershy and kept on singing.

Sweetie Belle: ♪ Driftin' (driftin') off to sleep! ♪

♪ Exciting day behind you! ♪

Driftin' (driftin') off to sleep! ♪

♪ Let the joy of dream land find you! ♪

(Y/N): Sweetie Belle!

Sweetie Belle: ♪ Hush now! Quiet now! ♪

♪ Lay your sleepy head! ♪

♪ Said hush now! Quiet now! ♪

♪ It's time to go to BED! ♪

Apparently Sweetie Belle's singing was so loud that it knocked over some stuff in the room and it also waked up Fluttershy's chickens and they all started to run all over the place. As Fluttershy and (Y/N) were distracted from putting the stuff back where they belong, they both turned around and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were gone which made them gasp. They both looked out of the window to see the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Fluttershy's little chicken farm as the chickens were running all over the place and out of their coop.

Fluttershy: Girls!

(Y/N): What do you three think you're doing?

Apple Bloom: Fluttershy's chickens are on the loose!

Sweetie Belle: I wonder what could have caused that. . .

(Y/N): *sarcastically* Yeah. . . I wonder.

Scootaloo: Don't worry, Fluttershy, don't worry (Y/N), the Cutie Mark Crusaders will handle this!

Sweetie Belle: Cutie Mark Crusader chicken herders! Yay!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then started to both try to catch and play with the chickens as Fluttershy and (Y/N) went down to try and get the Crusaders before any more mischief could happen.

(Y/N): No! Come back here and go to bed now!

Fluttershy: Ah, come back please!

(Y/N): Girls, leave the chickens alone!

Fluttershy: Come on girls please, the chickens are fine.

A chicken then landed on (Y/N)'s head and started to peck his head which caused him to get annoyed by it and he was now running around as well.

(Y/N): Ah! Get it off me! Get it off!

Fluttershy saw (Y/N) in distress from the chicken on his head. . . that she decided to get more strict than usual.

Fluttershy: GIRLS!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders gave Fluttershy their undivided attention after that yell and Fluttershy then goes to the chicken that was still pecking (Y/N)'s head and clicks her tongue to tell it to get off of him.

(Y/N): Phew! Thanks Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: You're welcome (Y/N). Now as for the chickens.

Fluttershy guided each and every one of the chickens to the chicken coop as they were all now standing in front of her.

Fluttershy: Come on, in you go.

The chickens didn't listen to Fluttershy as they were still doing they're own thing. Fluttershy was not amused by this, so she did something that surprised not only the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but (Y/N) as well.

Fluttershy went up to the chickens and she gave an extremely wide-eyed strict stare that frightened the chickens and even (Y/N) was getting chills just by looking at Fluttershy's eyes. The Cutie Mark Crusaders however were interested in Fluttershy's stare ability. The chickens backed up into the chicken coop slowly and they went back to sleep. Once that was done, Fluttershy stopped her stare and gave her normal look again.

Fluttershy: There's some good chickens.

(Y/N) then walks up to Fluttershy with a shocked look on his face.

(Y/N): What was that? They just. . . were like scared all of a sudden.

Fluttershy goes up to (Y/N) and whispers in his ear.

Fluttershy: *whispers* That was something I like to call "The Stare" it's like a weapon I use on animals that don't behave themselves.

(Y/N): *whispers* Wow! That's amazing Fluttershy! You have an amazing way with animals!

Fluttershy blushed a little at that compliment before shaking it away. (Y/N) then turns to the Cutie Mark Crusaders and gives them stern looks.

(Y/N): As for you three, you all have been doing nothing, but just disobeying us all night. Have you three learned anything in school like your suppose to obey your foalsitters?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders got guilty looks on their faces when (Y/N) said that.

Apple Bloom: Sorry (Y/N), we just wanted to find out how we can finally get our Cutie Marks.

(Y/N): I understand that, but you three aren't making it any better to find by making reckless decisions like these. Now I believe it it is time that you three go to bed for the night. Do I make myself clear?

Scootaloo: Oh come on, can't we play for a little bit more?

(Y/N) did not like that answer as he did something similar to Fluttershy's Stare and he made his eyes glow (F/C) which the Cutie Mark Crusaders froze up at.

(Y/N): I said. . . Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Yes sir!

(Y/N): Good.

(Y/N) stops his eyes from glowing and smiles at the three Crusaders and Fluttershy smiles at (Y/N) at seeing that he knows how to discipline some kids.

Back inside of Fluttershy's cottage, Fluttershy and (Y/N) finally got the Crusaders under the covers and tucked them to bed.

Fluttershy: So, no more crusading for tonight, all right?

(Y/N): When we leave this room, those eyes better go night-night. Understood?

Scootaloo: Yes!

Sweetie Belle: We promise!

Apple Bloom: Good night!

Fluttershy: Okay, good night.

(Y/N): Sleep tight, you three.

Both (Y/N) and Fluttershy then walked back downstairs together to the living room and they both looked at each other.

(Y/N): Phew. Those tiny little fillies are somewhat of a handful.

Fluttershy: It wasn't that hard. . . I mean, all we needed to do was just show them who's in charge.

(Y/N): Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyway Fluttershy, while the girls are sleeping, where will I be sleeping in here.

Fluttershy then had a tomato red blush on her face as she had one thought in her mind about that.

Fluttershy: Well. . . um. . . (Y/N), actually if you don't mind I. . . can let you sleep with me.

(Y/N) was then the one to have a blush on his face when Fluttershy asked that.

(Y/N): Y-You w-want me. . . to s-sleep with you?

Fluttershy simply nods at that.

(Y/N): I don't know, I mean. . . isn't that a little. . . unorthodox.

Fluttershy: Oooh. Please? Pretty please, (Y/N)?

Fluttershy was up in (Y/N)'s face as she used the puppy dog eyes trick as well and her eyes were also sparkling as well. (Y/N) had an extreme blush on his face and his heart was beating fast as he just sighs and smiles.

(Y/N): Okay. . . only for you Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: Yay.

Fluttershy then hugged (Y/N) out of delight.

Soon enough, Fluttershy and (Y/N) were sleeping on a couch together  as Fluttershy was leaning on (Y/N)'s chest with a blanket over both of them. While they were both asleep however, they didn't notice that the Cutie Mark Crusaders saw them sleeping and they all had their capes on and they both tiptoed out of the cottage. Before Scootaloo left however, she turned back one last time at seeing (Y/N) and Fluttershy sleeping together and she pointed at her tongue in disgust like she was gagging. As soon as she left the cottage door, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle notices Scootaloo's disgusted look.

Apple Bloom: What's up Scoots?

Scootaloo: (Y/N) and Fluttershy like each other, that's what.

Apple Bloom: Yeah, so they like each other so what?

Sweetie Belle: I thought it was kind of cute.

Scootaloo: Eww, give me a break. Let's forget that and go find that missing chicken already.

The other Crusaders nodded as they exit out of the cottage to go in the Everfree Forest. However, Scootaloo's cape got stuck on the fence and part of her cape ripped off.

Meanwhile, back in the cottage, both (Y/N) and Fluttershy were still sleeping as got a tiny bit comfy.

(Y/N): *sighs* Peace and quiet. Don't you think, Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: Of course.

Fluttershy then notice that she's not hearing any snoring from upstairs which gave her a confused look.

Fluttershy: Too quiet actually.

(Y/N) then fully woke up and caught onto what Fluttershy said as he had the same confused look that she did.

(Y/N): Hmm. Even I know nopony can snore that quietly.

Both (Y/N) and Fluttershy then quickly flew upstairs and they both gasped to find that the Cutie Mark Crusaders have escaped the bed.

(Y/N): They're gone!

Fluttershy and (Y/N) then fly outside to try and call out for them.

Fluttershy: Girls!

(Y/N): Apple Bloom! Sweetie Belle! Scootaloo! Come back here right now! Oh, where could they be?

Fluttershy then flies over to the chicken coop and looks inside to see that one of her chickens is missing.

Fluttershy: Elizabeak! She's missing!

(Y/N): Fluttershy, look!

Fluttershy turns to see (Y/N) pointing at the fence and they both see tracks of both the missing chicken and the Crusaders along with Scootaloo's cape hanging on the fence.

(Y/N): Fluttershy, they must have gone looking for your missing chicken in the Everfree Forest!

Fluttershy: *gasps* No! Not the Everfree Forest!

Both of them then hurry along to the entrance of the Everfree Forest as they ran in a hurry towards there.

Fluttershy: Those girls have really done it this time! They've really bitten off more than they can chew! Oh, just like me! I never should have offered to watch them.

(Y/N) then put his hoof around Fluttershy when she said that to herself.

(Y/N): It's okay, Fluttershy we'll find them. They may have been a bit more than both of us can handle, but right now their safety is more important than blaming ourselves.

Fluttershy nods at as they both then fly into the Everfree Forest to look for the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Meanwhile, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were in the Everfree Forest together searching for Fluttershy's missing chicken, Elizabeak.

Apple Bloom: Here, chick-chick-chick-chick-chick! Brawck, bawk-bawk-bawk, brawck!

Scootaloo: What are you doing?

Apple Bloom: Callin' for the chicken!

Scootaloo: That is not how you call a chicken.

Apple Bloom: Oh, and you know how to call a chicken?

Scootaloo: I know that's not the way.

Apple Bloom: Then show me.

Scootaloo: I don't have to show you!

Apple Bloom: You're just chicken!

Scootaloo: Am not!

Apple Bloom: Oh wait, now I know how to call a chicken! Scootaloo! Scoot-scootalooooo!

Scootaloo: That's so funny I forgot to laugh.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were too busy arguing to notice any of the creepy things that were happening in the Everfree Forest.

Apple Bloom: You also forgot how to call a chicken!

Scootaloo: Why, you. . .

Sweetie Belle: Come on, guys, we're not gonna find the chicken or our cutie marks by arguing.

Apple Bloom: Maybe that's our special talent. Arguin'!

Scootaloo: Is not!

Apple Bloom: Is too!

Scootaloo: Is not!

Apple Bloom: Is too! Anything yet?

Scootaloo look closely at Apple Bloom's flank, but of course nothing appeared.

Scootaloo: Nope.

Apple Bloom: Darn.

Both them giggle at each other before continuing their search for the lost chicken.

Apple Bloom: Heeeere, chick-chick-chick-chick, baaawk, bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk-bawk, b-baaaaawk!

Back with (Y/N) and Fluttershy, (Y/N) had a serious look on his face in case anything was going to jump out and attack them, while Fluttershy remained her normal timid self.

Fluttershy: Girls?

(Y/N): Girls!

A gust of wind then blows as it made Fluttershy squeak and she hugged (Y/N) tightly out of fear surprising him.

(Y/N): Fluttershy, it's okay! I'm right here! There's no reason to be afraid when I'm around.

Fluttershy then get's off of (Y/N) and takes a deep breath.

(Y/N): Here, just put one hoof in front of the other.

Fluttershy: Okay. . . one hoof in front of the-

Fluttershy then steps on a twig which frightens her.

Fluttershy: Ahh! What was that?!

(Y/N): Don't worry, it was just a twig.

Fluttershy looked down at broken twig and sigh in relief but she still backs up out of fear.

Fluttershy: I still don't feel comfortable in the Everfree Forest.

Fluttershy backs up and when she touches a tree, she screams and then holds onto (Y/N) as tight as she could.

Fluttershy: Hold me, please!

(Y/N) just sighs at that request as he kept on walking with Fluttershy on his back holding him tightly. As they both kept on going forward looking for the Cutie Mark Crusaders, they then saw a unicorn figure in the distance that looked a lot like Twilight.

(Y/N): Hey look! I think I see Twilight over there.

Fluttershy sees the same figure as she gasps and let's go of (Y/N) as both of them run towards it in full relief.

Fluttershy: Twilight! Thank goodness you're here. We need your help. The girls are out here somewhere, and we're afraid that they're-

Suddenly when the moon shines and light is given, (Y/N) and Fluttershy gasp to see that the unicorn figure is Twilight, but she's been turned into stone.

(Y/N): Oh no Twilight! Why is she stone?!

Fluttershy: *gasps* Oh no, the girls!

(Y/N): What is it Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: (Y/N), there's a cockatrice out here.

(Y/N): A what?

Fluttershy: It's a creature that has the head of a chicken and the body of a snake. If you look at it dead in the eyes, then your body will become stone like Twilight here.

(Y/N): Oh no! Then the girls are in really big trouble! We have to save them and fast!

Fluttershy nods as she flies off fast and (Y/N) picks up the stone Twilight with his magic and flies off after Fluttershy as well.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were still walking deep in the forest following the chicken tracks and Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were still arguing.

Scootaloo: Is not!

Apple Bloom: Is too!

Scootaloo: Is not!

Apple Bloom: Is too!

Sweetie Belle: Girls! Our special talent is NOT arguing. Besides, what would the Cutie Mark of somepony whose talent is arguing even look like?

Fluttershy: Girls?

(Y/N): Girls!

Sweetie Belle: Fluttershy?! (Y/N)?!

Fluttershy and (Y/N) both land in front of the Crusaders with relieved looks.

Fluttershy: Girls! Thank goodness we found you!

(Y/N): You three should be ashamed of yourselves! Walking into the Everfree Forest alone? What were you three thinking?!

Apple Bloom: Sorry, (Y/N). We just wanted to find that missing chicken.

(Y/N): I understand that, but you should have came to me or Fluttershy first! We were so worried about you!

Fluttershy: (Y/N), you can scold them later. Right now, we have to leave the forest at once!

Sweetie Belle: But. . . we haven't found the chicken yet!

Fluttershy: There's no time for that. There's a cockatrice on the loose!

Apple Bloom: A cocka-what now?

(Y/N): Apparently it's a creature with the head of a chicken and the body of a snake. Now, come on let's get out of here!

Scootaloo: The head of a chicken and the body of a snake? That doesn't sound scary, that sounds silly!

Apple Bloom: Why, if I ever saw one of them cockathingies face-to-face, I'd laugh at how silly it was.

(Y/N): Oh, does this look silly to you?

(Y/N) pulls out the stone statue of Twilight from behind him which made the Crusaders gasp.

Apple Bloom: What happened to Twilight?!

(Y/N): A cockatrice is what happened!

Fluttershy: If you look a cocktrice in the eye, this is what will happen to you!

Scootaloo: Okay, so if we see it we'll just run.

Sweetie Belle: Yeah, easy enough. Besides, you said it has the body of a snake so it should be easy to spot.

A chicken then comes clucking and running out of the bush which got the Crusaders attention and they run off after it.

Apple Bloom: The chicken!

(Y/N): Girls, stop!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Here, chick-chick-chick-chick-chick!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then spotted the chicken in a bush.

Sweetie Belle: There he is!

However, what caught their attention was that another popped out of the bush, but it had glowing red eyes.

Scootaloo: Two chickens?

Apple Bloom: I thought only one escaped!

Sweetie Belle: Grab them both!

Apple Bloom tried to go for the first chicken but it jumped off and back into the bush, but when she went for the second one. It rose out of the bush and it revealed to have exactly what Fluttershy described, it had the head of a chicken with red eyes and sharp teeth and it had a turquoise body of a snake and it had wings so it could fly.

While the other chicken was running all over the place panicking, the cockatrice landed in front of it and the chicken looked into it's eyes as the cockatrice then quickly turned the chicken into stone. This shocked the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they all did the right logical thing and ran off screaming. When (Y/N) arrives to where they are he sees the Crusaders being chased by the cockatrice and get's an extremely serious look.

(Y/N): Girls, get behind me!

The girls saw (Y/N) and did as they were told as he glows his horn to try and blast some magic beam at the cockatrice, but it flew to dodge it. Fluttershy sees (Y/N) trying to fight the cockatrice and she get's an extremely worried look.

Fluttershy: (Y/N), wait! You can't-

(Y/N): Get the girls out of here Fluttershy, while I shoo this creature away!

Fluttershy: (Y/N), no it's dangerous for you to-

(Y/N) sends a another magic beam at the cockatrice, but it swiftly flew away and (Y/N) tries to catch where it was going.

(Y/N): Stay still!

The cockatrice then flew out of sight of (Y/N) as he looked around for it.

(Y/N): Is it gone?

When (Y/N) thought the cockatrice left, he turned back to the group, but as he did that however, he was looking eye to eye at the same cockatrice as it was straight up in his face.

The cockatrice then glowed it eyes and (Y/N) was slowly turning into stone which shocked him and he turned to Fluttershy as she was scared to see (Y/N) getting turned to stone.

(Y/N): Fluttershy! Help me!

(Y/N) was then turned into stone as well as he fell on his side and both Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders let out a huge gasp.

Fluttershy and The Cutie Mark Crusaders: (Y/N)!!!

Fluttershy looks at (Y/N) and back at the Cutie Mark Crusaders and she remembers the stare she did and (Y/N)'s discipline towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders as she get's an angry look and decides to use both against the cockatrice.

Fluttershy: Girls! Behind me, now!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then get far behind Fluttershy as she decides to go and try to scold the cockatrice face to face.

Fluttershy: You! Just who do you think you are, going around turning others into stone?

Fluttershy looks at the cockatrice straight in the eyes as it then glows it's eyes to try and turn Fluttershy into stone.

Fluttershy: You should be ashamed of yourself! I have a mind to find your mother and tell her what you've been up to, young man!

The cockatrice was scared to hear that, but it still tried to turn Fluttershy into stone. Fluttershy then counters with her Stare as the cockatrice was terrified by it.

Fluttershy: Now you go over there, and turn Elizabeak, my friend (Y/N), and my friend Twilight back to normal, and don't ever let me catch you doing this again!

This got the cockatrice to get extremely scared as the Stare worked and Fluttershy wasn't turn into stone at all as the reaction broke.

Fluttershy: Do you understand me?!

The cockatrice nods as it starts running off and squawking out of fear. (Y/N) was then broken out of the stone as he looked at himself and he then looks to see Fluttershy as he smiles and he knows what happened. Fluttershy then runs up and hugs (Y/N) which he returns.

Fluttershy: (Y/N)! I was so worried about you!

(Y/N): Yeah, sorry about the reckless approach, but I was just trying to protect you and the girls.

Fluttershy: Don't worry (Y/N). I completely understand.

Fluttershy and (Y/N) then walk up to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Fluttershy: Are you girls all right? We were so worried!

Scootaloo: Yeah, fine!

Sweetie Belle: Thanks to that stare of yours.

Scootaloo: You're like the queen of stares. You're the. . .

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Stare Master!

Fluttershy liked that nickname as she smiled, however (Y/N) gave the Crusaders serious looks.

(Y/N): Now that everything is good now. What have you three learned today?

Sweetie Belle: *sighs* We're sorry we snuck out of the house and into the forest.

Apple Bloom: Yeah. We'll listen to you from now on.

Scootaloo: We promise.

Fluttershy: Oh, you do, do you? Well, you better, or I'll give you. . . the Stare!

Everypony laughs at Fluttershy funny demand and then all of a sudden Twilight walks up to the group a little tired.

Twilight Sparkle: What. . . what happened?

Everypony then heard Fluttershy's chicken Elizabeak squawking as she had her head stuck in the ground from the gravity of being turned into stone.

(Y/N): It's a long story Twilight. We'll explain later.

It was now morning time at Fluttershy's cottage as the Cutie Mark Crusaders were now playing with each other out on the field while Fluttershy, (Y/N), and Twilight were sitting at a picnic table drinking tea together.

Fluttershy: And that's when it brought you two back from stone.

Twilight Sparkle: This is gonna make quite a letter to the princess. I was wrong about you two. You both certainly do know how to handle those girls.

Fluttershy: Oh, I wouldn't go that far.

Twilight Sparkle: Hmm? How so?

Fluttershy: I assumed that I'd be just as good with kids as I am with animals. Boy, was I wrong. I really learned the hard way not to bite off more than I could chew.

(Y/N): And taking care of three kids is nowhere near the same as one. Trust us, it's not easy at all.

Twilight Sparkle: You and Rarity both.

Speaking of Rarity, she then walks up to see the three.

(Y/N): Good morning, Rarity.

Fluttershy: Did you finish all those capes?

Rarity: *sighs* Just delivered them. I have to admit, if you hadn't come along, I might not have. Thanks again.

Fluttershy: Won't you stay for some tea?

Rarity: I really must get back to the shop and clean up. Girls! Get your things. Time to go. Girls!

Twilight, (Y/N), and Fluttershy look to see Rarity try to get the Crusaders attention, but her words fell on deaf ears as they all ignored her and kept on playing around which irritated Rarity. Fluttershy and (Y/N) looked at each other and nodded before walking up to Rarity.

Fluttershy: Allow us.

Both of them cleared their throats before calling out to the Crusaders.

Fluttershy: Girls.

(Y/N): Can we have your attention please?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders heard both of their voices as they run up to both of them which made Rarity jaw drop.

Apple Bloom: Yes?

Scootaloo: You two called?

(Y/N): Girls, it's time for all to go. Rarity is here to pick you up, so it's time you get your belongings.

Sweetie Belle: Of course, (Y/N). Of course, Fluttershy, right away!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders did as they were told while Rarity was shocked.

Rarity: Ah, huh, ah, how did you. . . how did you two do that?

Both of them wink at Twilight as she smiles.

Fluttershy: I guess I'm just as good with kids as I am with animals.

(Y/N): And once you have the experience, foalsitting is easier than it looks.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Thank you, (Y/N)! Thank you, Fluttershy! Bye! Thank you, Stare Master!

(Y/N): I actually think it's time that I hit the road as well. And Fluttershy, I really enjoyed foalsitting with you, maybe we can do this another time.

Fluttershy blushes when she hears that as she just simply nods.

(Y/N): Well, I'll see you all later.

Fluttershy: Bye, (Y/N). (Thoughts) So this is what babysitting with (Y/N) is like.
