The next morning, you woke up from your peaceful slumber when the sun's rays shined on you. You sat up and stretched before noticing that Applejack was nowhere to be found. You looked around the room until your eyes landed on a small note on your nightstand. You picked it up and read it.

"Dear Y/N,

I had to leave early to get started on some chores at Sweet Apple Acres, so I decided to let you sleep in. I had a wonderful time yesterday and I do hope we can have another day like that. Also, I prepared a little something for you for breakfast just before I left. I Love ya, hon.

Sincerely,

Applejack."

You put the note down, got out of bed, and went downstairs. You looked and saw a plate of Apple Cider Snaps which surprised you.

(Y/N): *thinking* Woah, when exactly did Applejack wake up to make these in time before she left? Well, I guess she's an early bird given how much she works at the Apple Farm so it's not too far fetched but still. Anyway, I should probably get moving.

You took a cookie and munched on it before walking upstairs and getting yourself dressed. You walked out of your house and towards the one place you were expecting to find Fluttershy; The Animal Shelter. You walked in through the front doors and saw the timid animal lover feeding some puppies.

Fluttershy: *giggles* Here you go, little ones.

(Y/N): Hey, Flutters.

She jumped slightly at your voice before turning to you and smiling.

Fluttershy: Oh, hi, Y/N.

(Y/N): Are you ready for our date today?

Fluttershy: I sure am. Just give me a moment to make sure every animal here is well taken care of.

(Y/N): *sigh* You know, your kind soul is too good for this world, Flutters.

Fluttershy: O-Oh no. My soul isn't that good, Y/N. I've made so many awful mistakes before. One of them being quick to jump to conclusions with the others instead of talking with them.

(Y/N): Still though, your kindness really does shine amongst a sea of hate and despair.

Fluttershy: ~Aww, Y/N...

She came up and pecked your lips.

Fluttershy: You really know what to say, don't you?

(Y/N): It's a skill you gain when you have multiple girlfriends. Anyways, how about I help you out here?

Fluttershy: I would say you don't have to, but knowing you, you're probably gonna insist on helping, aren't you?

(Y/N): Heh, you DO really know me.

Fluttershy: You pick up on a few things after being around someone for so long. Okay, you can help me finish up here and then we'll be on our way.

(Y/N): Sounds like a plan, Flutters.

You helped her out with the animals for the next couple of minutes until every animal was contempt and happy.

Fluttershy: Alright, that's every animal taken care of. Let's go, Y/N.

(Y/N): With pleasure, Flutters. Right this way.

You led her out the doors and walked down the sidewalk while talking.

(Y/N): I'm sure you'll like the place I planned out for us, Flutters.

Fluttershy: Well, from what I heard from the others, you haven't let us down yet, so I trust you completely.

(Y/N): Before we get there, put this on.

You pulled out a blindfold and held it out towards her which left her confused.

Fluttershy: A blindfold? What's that for?

(Y/N): I wanna surprise you with the place we're going to.

Fluttershy: Um, o-okay.

She hesitantly put the blindfold on as you gently grabbed her shoulders and led her down the sidewalk. The both of you continued your trek as you brought her to a stretch of woods and went through.

Fluttershy: Y/N, are you sure I can't see it, yet?

She was about to remove her blindfold before you stopped her.

(Y/N): Ah! Don't take it off. Trust me, Fluttershy, this place will be worth it.

Fluttershy: *sigh* Alright. Just... don't let it be anything startling or scary, please?

(Y/N): Flutters, come on, do you really think I'd do that to you?

Fluttershy: Well, no...

(Y/N): Then you have nothing to worry about.

Eventually, the both of you made it to your designated location.

(Y/N): Okay Fluttershy, are you ready?

She nodded.

(Y/N): Take off the blindfold.

She did just that before opening her eyes and gasping at what she was seeing. It turns out, you had brought her to a clearing filled with lots of exotic looking flowers. There were also a few animals grazing amongst themselves peacefully.

Fluttershy: O-Oh my goodness! It's...it's extraordinary!

(Y/N): I discovered this place some time ago and I thought you'd love it.

Without warning, Fluttershy wrapped her arms around you with the biggest, genuine smile across her face.

Fluttershy: I do love it! Thank you so much, Y/N!

(Y/N): It was my pleasure, Fluttershy. So, wanna meet some new animal friends?

Fluttershy: I thought you'd never ask!

She grabbed your hand and took you to the middle of the clearing and sat down. Fluttershy cleared her throat and started singing gracefully which already started getting the attention of the nearby wildlife. Some squirrels, birds, deer, and other critters came up to her in order to hear her melodic singing.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Squirrel: Wow, she's amazing.

Sparrow: She puts even us to shame.

Blue Jay: Hey!

Sparrow: What? It's kinda true.

Just then a large shadow appeared in front of them as they turned around to find a bald eagle.

Bald Eagle: Which one of you was singing? It sounded so beautiful!

(Y/N): Oh, my girlfriend did.

The bald eagle jumps as she turns to you with a look of shock.

Bald Eagle: H-Humans can't understand us!

(Y/N): Well, we can because of these.

You pulled out your geode and showed it to her.

(Y/N): These give us a whole assortment of powers. One of them includes being able to understand animals.

Bald Eagle: That's... fascinating! Are you the only humans who can talk to us?

Fluttershy: Um, to our knowledge at least. Oh, you're hurt!

She gestures to a piece of branch stuck in one of the eagle's wings.

Bald Eagle: Oh yeah. That happened when I was out hunting earlier. This little mouse was crafty enough to make me fly into a tree. I tried pulling it out myself but you know...feathers aren't really meant for that.

(Y/N): Um, if you don't mind, I have healing magic so I can patch that up if you want.

Bald Eagle: That would help a lot. This thing's been killing me since.

She held out her wing to you as you grasped the branch between your fingers.

(Y/N): Okay, this is gonna hurt.

You quickly pulled out the branch as the eagle winced in pain a little as you quickly went to work with your healing magic. A moment passed before you took your hand away as the eagle's wing was fully healed.

Bald Eagle: Hey, that feels so much better! Thanks a lot!

(Y/N): It's no trouble at all. A bird that can't fly is like a horse with a broken leg.

Bald Eagle: Touche.

She turns her attention back to Fluttershy.

Bald Eagle: So, you're the one with that gorgeous singing voice?

Fluttershy: I am. I've practiced my whole life.

Bald Eagle: Well, from the looks of it, that practicing really paid off.

Fluttershy: Oh, you're too kind.

Squirrel: Could you maybe sing for us again?

Sparrow: Yeah, we wanna hear you sing some more!

The other animals voiced their agreement.

(Y/N): Hmm, seems like you've gained an audience, Flutters.

You playfully nudged her shoulder as she chuckled.

Fluttershy: It seems so, Y/N. Well, if you all really insist, I suppose I could do it once more.

The animal cheered in response as Fluttershy started singing again.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Gopher: Magnificent!

Bunny: Truly an angel that came from heaven!

(Y/N): I agree. You really do have a beautiful voice, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: Thank you, Y/N.

She pecked your lips.

Fluttershy: And thank you all as well. Hey, do you think we can become friends?

Bald Eagle: I don't see why not. Plus, it'd mean we'd get to hear you sing on a regular basis and I really wouldn't want to miss that.

The other animals agreed as Fluttershy blushed from all the praise she was getting. You chuckled as you wrapped an arm around her.

(Y/N): Heh, you're really talented with that voice of yours, Flutters. I'm sure people would love to hear you sing.

Fluttershy smiled at you until she seemed to have gotten an idea as she turned to her new animal friends.

Fluttershy: Um, I know we just became friends, but do you think you could all please give us a little privacy?

Bald Eagle: Sure thing. Come on, guys.

She said before she flew off as the animals all scurried away much to your confusion.

(Y/N): Uhh, why'd you send them awa-

You were cut off by Fluttershy pulling you in for a passionate kiss which surprised you greatly. This was rather bold of her to do, not that you were against the idea or anything. You decided to just roll with it and held her hips as the two of you continued to kiss. Finally, Fluttershy pulled back.

Fluttershy: I-I'm sorry if that was sudden, Y/N, but I just wanted to show how much I appreciate you taking me out here.

You smiled before waving a dismissive hand.

(Y/N): It's not a problem at all, Fluttershy.

She then cuddled her head into your chest as she wrapped her arms around your torso like you were a huge teddy bear.

Fluttershy: I love you so, so much, Y/N.

You wrapped your own arms around her and placed your head on top of hers.

(Y/N): And I love you too, Flutters.

Fluttershy smiled as she tightened her embrace around you. Though while it was strong, it wasn't enough to make you gasp for air. You give her a little peck on her forehead earning a soft giggle from her.

Fluttershy: Can we stay like this for a little longer?

(Y/N): Absolutely, my cute, timid zoophilist.

The both of you embraced one another while the animals watched from a distance.

Squirrel: Aww, it seems like she's found her soulmate.

Bald Eagle: Ohhh, that explains why they wanted privacy.

Blue Jay: Wait, you didn't know that? Everyone in the forest knows about these two. According to Constance, that girl's called Fluttershy and her boyfriend is known as Y/N.

Sparrow: Really? I didn't recognize them until just now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you were done with your cuddle session, you bid farewell to your animal friends and left the forest and towards society once again.

(Y/N): Do you have a preference on where to go next, Flutters?

Fluttershy: I can't really think of anywhere in particular...unless you had another surprise for me?

(Y/N): Well... to be honest... I didn't really think that far ahead. Do you wanna just improvise?

Fluttershy: Um, okay. So, we just go into the city and see if anything catches our eyes?

(Y/N): Better than nothing, I suppose.

You gently grabbed her hand and led her to the city. As you walked together, you heard someone call out to Fluttershy.

???: Hey, Fluttershy, Y/N!

You groaned a bit upon realizing that you recognized that voice. You turned and saw a guy with pale, light grayish aquamarine skin, pale, light grayish gold hair, and grayish cerise eyes. His attire was screaming hipster chic. He was none other than Fluttershy's sleazy younger brother, Zephyr Breeze.

(Y/N): *thinking* *groan* What the heck does this sleaze want? To ask me to break up with Rainbow Dash again so he can be with her?

Fluttershy was also feeling the same way as evidenced by her sighing and rolling her eyes slightly.

Fluttershy: *thinking* *sigh* Of all the days he could have picked to bother me and Y/N, it had to be the day of our date?

(Y/N): Aren't you supposed to be hanging with Sandalwood, Zephyr?

Zephyr Breeze: Nah, he's at a little shindig of his own, so I decided to see what you guys have been up to.

(Y/N): Well... we're kind of on a date right now, Zephyr. So, if you would be-

Zephyr Breeze: Oh! Speaking of dates...

You sighed at him interrupting you.

Zephyr Breeze: Have you broken up with Dashie yet? I was just curious about it.

(Y/N): *sigh* No, Zephyr, I haven't and I don't ever intend to. Emphasis on EVER.

Zephyr Breeze: Alright, alright. I was only curious. I've got my eyes on another girl anyway.

Fluttershy: Who's that, Zephyr?

Zephyr Breeze: Remember that emo guy who walked into Sweet Shoppe on your date with Dashie, Y/N?

Your eyes widen after hearing that come out of him.

(Y/N): What the-? Are you stalking her, dude?! That's lower than your usual standards!

Zephyr Breeze: What?! No! I told you I'm over her, Y/N. Anyway, there was some girl with blue hair and pilot goggles that came running after him just as he left. She wore one of those fancy private school uniforms.

(Y/N): Wait, you mean Indigo Zap? Dude, no offense, but I don't think she'd be interested in you.

Zephyr Breeze: And what makes you say that, Y/N? I get tons of girls. In fact, I can't keep most of them off of me so I think I'd have a shot.

(Y/N): *thinking* Only in your dreams, pal. *speaking* The reason I say that is because she's already got eyes for Shadow.

Zephyr Breeze: She's eyeing my shadow?! Oh, then that means she must like me too! It'll work out perfectly!

(Y/N): *sigh* No, not your literal shadow, Zephyr, I'm talking about my friend, Shadow Moonlight.

Hearing that made Zephyr's joyful expression turn into a look of annoyance in a matter of seconds.

Zephyr Breeze: Oh...that guy.

(Y/N): Yeah, that guy. She's already interested in him, dude.

Zephyr Breeze: Not for much longer, Y/N. That guy is nothing but a spineless coward. He ain't worthy of someone that good-looking. She deserves someone stronger both physically and mentally like me.

(Y/N): *thinking* Still a better choice than your sorry butt. *speaking* I don't know what to tell you, Zephyr. Indigo's interested in him, not you. Don't believe me, then go ask her yourself.

Zephyr Breeze: Just you wait, Y/N. Soon she'll flock over to me instead of him which would be a way better choice.

He turned around and walked away with his head held high.

Zephyr Breeze: You'll see!

He said one final time before turning the corner and disappearing. You and Fluttershy sighed in relief.

(Y/N): No offense, Fluttershy, but your brother's an idiot.

Fluttershy: *sigh* Trust me, Y/N. I know. As much as I hate to admit it, he isn't that bright. His ego is way larger than Rainbow Dash's. I think it's probably why he fell for her at all.

(Y/N): Because they have compatible egos?

Fluttershy: You could put it that way but, as I said, his ego is much larger and it usually gets him in situations where I'm responsible for him because I'm his older sister.

(Y/N): Man, I can only imagine how Shadow's gonna feel about that, or Indigo for that matter.

Just then, you saw Indigo come out from behind a trash can as she spotted the two of you and ran towards you.

Indigo Zap: Y/N! Thank god! Have you seen some hippie-looking dude around here by any chance?

(Y/N): And has an ego the size of Jupiter?

Indigo Zap: Exactly! So, you have seen him?

(Y/N): Yeah. We just had a little chat with him before he left.

Indigo Zap: *sigh* He's been stalking me for the past month. I've been trying my best to shake him off but he doesn't let up.

(Y/N): Didn't you tell Shadow about him?

Indigo Zap: I've tried that, but he keeps telling me to just ignore him. It's weird though. Usually he'd put a stop to it first hand when he hears about something like this.

(Y/N): Yeah...I've been meaning to tell you and the others about this but we think that Shadow's pendant has changed him.

Indigo Zap: Seriously? You think that's the reason why he's always sarcastic and angry?

(Y/N): It's only a theory at this point. There's gonna come a time where we need to take it from him to prove if I'm right. Can I rely on you for help when it does?

Indigo Zap: Well, if it'll bring back the sweet, shy, caring guy I once saw him as then count me in. I'm not about to let some evil magical pendant corrupt my man.

She immediately covered her mouth with both hands as her eyes were the size of dinner plates and her pupils shrunk to pinpricks.

(Y/N): Wait... did you just say... MY man? I thought Shadow was dating Sugarcoat.

Indigo Zap: U-Um...I mean my man, you know? Like, my dude, my bro. You know, something you call close friends. Hehehe...

You raised an eyebrow at her odd behavior as you shrugged.

(Y/N): Oh, I guess that makes sense.

Indigo Zap: *thinking* Phew, that was way too close. *speaking* So back to earlier about that hippie-stalker. What should I do about him?

(Y/N): Well, I would suggest being honest with him, but then he's probably gonna think you're playing hard to get. Any suggestions since you know him more than us, Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: Well, Zephyr, like Rainbow, isn't one to resist a challenge. So, maybe have him challenge Shadow and if he loses he'll probably back off.

Indigo Zap: But...what if he wins?

Fluttershy: Oh don't worry about that, Indigo. Zephyr hasn't really accomplished much. Plus, he exaggerates a lot about his strength.

Indigo Zap: In other words, Shadow would have this in the bag then?

(Y/N): Pretty much, yeah. Isn't he the top athlete of Crystal Prep?

Indigo Zap: Yeah, he is. So I guess I shouldn't be worried. Alright then, thanks, you guys! I owe you one.

She waved goodbye as she jogged away.

(Y/N): Hopefully, they get that sorted out. Zephyr really needs to get his ego under control.

Fluttershy: Sometimes I wonder if he was adopted. I mean, not to sound rude but my parents were never like that so I have no clue how he got an ego.

(Y/N): Who knows? Anywho, where were we? Ah, yes, our date.

Fluttershy: Right, right. Let's go.

You held her hand once more and walked away. As you continued your stroll, you soon spotted the amphitheater that you and the Rainbooms fought against the Dazzlings which made you quickly walk over to it as you sat down on top of the amphitheater stage.

Fluttershy: Why'd you want to come here, Y/N?

(Y/N): I don't know. Memories I guess. Even if they weren't the most pleasant for the majority of the Battle of the Bands, I had a lot of fun facing off against the sirens with you girls.

Fluttershy: Wasn't...this also the first time V/N took control of you?

(Y/N): It was but it was also the last. Personally, I really don't know how long he's been in my head but that was one of two times where I had purely felt angry.

Fluttershy: I know and I wish we never kicked you out of the band. I still ask myself why we did that, sometimes.

(Y/N): Wasn't it so that you guys could protect me?

Fluttershy: It's what we intended but...instead it made you one of them.

She started to tear up slightly.

Fluttershy: *sniff* I'm sorry, Y/N. We never should have kicked you out. If we hadn't, *sniff* V/N wouldn't have taken control. It's our fault he's out there.

You approached Fluttershy and gave her a comforting hug before putting your finger under her chin to look up at you.

(Y/N): Hey, look at me. You couldn't have known what would've happened that day and I'm sure everyone was under the sirens' spell at that point. Well, all except for Sunset and Twilight. Besides, I've already forgiven you girls, so there's no need to apologize.

Fluttershy: I know...but *sniff* I can't get over the fact that I played a part of his awakening. I caused you pain, Y/N and *sniff* never in my entire life did I ever want to cause someone else pain.

(Y/N): Fluttershy!

She jumped slightly at your raised voice.

(Y/N): Listen, it doesn't matter anymore. What's done is done and it's all in the past now. You were only trying to help me but I couldn't see it. If anything, I should have done a better job at controlling it. Instead... I nearly killed you girls.

Fluttershy: Y/N...that wasn't you.

(Y/N): But it was. At least, a portion of it was. I was so upset that you girls kicked me out, that I didn't even have the urge to resist V/N's calling. I don't remember much but I think I almost remember agreeing to join the Dazzlings and...me and him planned to actually kill you so I did nearly kill you girls. But listen, the point I'm making is that it's something I have to live with for the rest of my life and I've been trying my best to move on from it... and you should too. You get what I'm saying?

Fluttershy: Y-Yeah...I do. Sorry for getting so worked up.

(Y/N): It's perfectly fine, Fluttershy. We all regret some of the things we've done before. If I learned anything from The Lion King it's this. The past can hurt, but the way I see it is that you can either run from it or learn from it. Hakuna Matata as they say.

Fluttershy wipes her tears and gives you another warm smile.

Fluttershy: Y/N, thanks. For being there for us all the time. I really have never appreciated how much you do for us, so thank you.

You smiled back before kissing her lips for a few seconds before separating.

(Y/N): You're welcome. Come on, let's get out of here.

She nodded before you two left the amphitheater. You walked for some time until you came across an unsavory sight: The Flim Flam Brothers Everything Under The Sun Emporium.

(Y/N): *groan* Those two hacks are still here?

Fluttershy: It seems so. Hey, don't you still have Flim's' confession on your phone by chance?

You perked up at that.

(Y/N): Oh yeah!

You pulled out your phone and went through your voice recordings until you found it.

(Y/N): I completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder, Fluttershy.

She nodded before the front door burst open revealing Shadow and Sour Sweet along with Flim and Flam who were being pulled by their collar before pinning them both against the wall.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm gonna say it one more time. Either you give us our money back or I'll rip that stache of yours right off your swindling, disgusting mouth!

Flam: Sorry but we have to cover our overhead and transport-

He was interrupted by a loud rip of his moustache being torn off as he yelled out in pain. You and Fluttershy watched with widened eyes until you covered her eyes.

Flam: Okay! Okay! We'll give a refund!

Shadow Moonlight: Good.

He then threw Flam onto the sidewalk as Flim helped him back up.

Shadow Moonlight: And it better be in full pay or that moustache won't be the only thing that I rip off you!

They both nodded before running inside.

Sour Sweet: Yeah, that's right! Run like the cowards you are!

(Y/N): Uhhh... Shadow? Sour Sweet?

They turned to look at you as Shadow's angry expression died down.

Shadow Moonlight: Oh, hey Y/N.

Sour Sweet: *sweetly* Hey, you guys! How's it going? *sourly* Are you spying on us or something?

Shadow Moonlight: That's sound possible given everything that's been going on the past week but I'm sure Y/N has way better things to do than that.

(Y/N): Well, Fluttershy and I were on a date and... we came across you and Sour doing that. That was awesome by the way how you ripped off his moustache and all.

Shadow Moonlight: These guys had it coming. They're cheapskates and swindlers who you can't negotiate with.

(Y/N): Oh, trust me, pal. I've had my fair share of dealing with those idiots. And hey, check this out.

You pulled out your phone and played the recording.

Flim(Over Recording): We've swindled hundreds of foolish people with our products and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Shadow gives you a smirk.

Shadow Moonlight: Well, well, well, it seems you've been pretty sneaky yourself. Fortunately, I managed to get a few myself.

He pulled out his device that he threatened Principal Cinch with at the Friendship Games.

Flim(Over Recording): The people in this city are beyond dumb! I mean, twelve thousand dollars for a double necked guitar? Who in their right mind would actually pay for something like that?

Flam(Over Recording): They may be stupid but their wallets are fat. They're all stupid rich!

Flim (Over Recording): *laughs* That's a good one, brother!

(Y/N): *thinking* *nervously* Hehe, yeah. What kind of idiot would buy a double necked guitar? *speaking* Well, seems like we've both got enough evidence to not only shut this place down, but also put those idiots behind bars.

Shadow Moonlight: I would love to see how they'd plead in court.

(Y/N): Although... as fun as that sounds, I think it'd be way more fun if we toyed with them. You know what I mean?

You smirked at him as he smirked back.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm so glad that you're my childhood friend, Y/N.

(Y/N): Me too, bud. Me too.

You fist bumped each other before chuckling as Flim and Flam came running out of their store with the money.

Flam: H-Here you go. We are sorry for the trouble Mr. Moonlight and Ms. Sweet.

Shadow Moonlight: Oh no, we're done yet. I hear you two have been pulling some strings with my bud Y/N here so you're going back in there and giving him all the money you've got in the register.

Flim: What?! No way! We gave you your money back! Can't you just-

Before he could finish Shadow kicked him hard in the groin area making him cry out in pain as he fell to the ground.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm sorry, did you say something? No? Well, then stop screwing around and get the money or I'm tearing that thing off!

They nodded again before zooming inside and coming back out with a heap of money.

Flim: So sorry for the inconvenience!

Flam: Have a nice day!

They dropped the money in front of you as they ran back inside and hid behind the counter.

(Y/N): Geez, how much money did they scam out of people anyways?

Shadow Moonlight: That's probably a decade worth of house payments.

You reached down and scooped the money up as best as possible.

(Y/N): I don't know if I would have gone that far, but I guess those two had it coming.

Shadow Moonlight: There are times when you gotta be forceful, Y/N. Personally, I could care less if anyone saw what happened or even got me arrested for assault. These two tried to cheat Sour out of a deal and I wasn't having any of it.

(Y/N): What was she trying to get by the way?

Sour Sweet: I needed a new eyeliner since mine broke a while back and I've been borrowing Sunny's for way too long.

(Y/N): So... you decided to go to two of the biggest scammers in Canterlot?

Shadow Moonlight: I kept telling her to order one online but she couldn't wait that long and since all of the beauty shops were sold out, this was the only place we could go to.

Sour Sweet: *sweetly* Luckily, thanks to Shadow, I was able to get both my money back AND some decent eyeliner. *sourly* Too bad we had to waste our time with those incompetent morons.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm sure they won't try anything if there's a chance we ever come back there again.

(Y/N): So... what should I do with this money? I don't exactly know all the people who came here, so I can't track them down or anything. Should I just give it to the police as well as the recordings?

Shadow Moonlight: Probably a good idea or you could give the money to a charity. It's up to you, dude.

An idea bulb then came above your head.

(Y/N): I could give this money to... an animal rescue charity.

You winked at Fluttershy who smiled widely at that.

Fluttershy: *gasp* You'd do that? Oh, thank you, Y/N!

Sour Sweet: *sweetly* I actually think that's a really good idea, Y/N. *sourly* If they don't decide to scam you like these knuckleheads.

(Y/N): No worries, Sour. I'll make sure that it's a nonprofit organization. You have my word.

Sour Sweet: I'll hold you to that then.

Shadow Moonlight: Sour actually has helped out at the animal shelter from time to time. She's got a real interest in animals.

Fluttershy: Really?

Sour blushed a little and lightly punched Shadow.

Sour Sweet: It's...one of my hobbies. Besides, they're all really adorable to look at.

Fluttershy: *gasp* I never pegged you as an animal lover... um... no offense.

Sour Sweet: Eh, none taken.

(Y/N): So, is this another hangout, Shadow?

Shadow Moonlight: Yes, it is.

Sour Sweet: What? Shadow I thought we were-

Shadow Moonlight: Hanging out, yeah. That's what we were doing, riiight?

He gives Sour a wink who quickly caught on.

Sour Sweet: Ohhhhh, yeah! That's totally what we were doing! Hanging out... yeah.

Your confused expression only grew as Shadow and Sour stood with nervous faces.

(Y/N): OOOOkay, sounds interesting.

Sour Sweet: A-Anyways, we should get going now, right Shadow?

Shadow Moonlight: Y-Yeah, we should let these two continue on with their date. I'll see you another time, Y/N.

He grabs Sour and snaps away in a flash.

(Y/N): Huh, so that's what it feels like.

Fluttershy: Um, I'm not the only one that found that just a little bit suspicious, am I?

(Y/N): No, you're not alone, Flutters. That was suspicious alright.

Fluttershy: Y/N, is it possible that Shadow might... actually have a harem?

(Y/N): I don't think so. He was really against the idea the last time I talked to him about it... but now... now I'm not so sure anymore.

Fluttershy: Hmm, it's a mystery for sure. Why don't we think about it later. We're on a date right now after all.

(Y/N): Good point, good point. Let's get going.

She nodded before you continued down the sidewalk. A few hours later, we see you and her walking to your place and went inside.

(Y/N): Why not pick out a movie, Flutters?

Fluttershy nods as she went over to your movies and browsed through them until something caught her eye.

Fluttershy: Ooh! This one looks lovely!

She comments as she picks out a movie and hands it to you.

(Y/N): 101 Dalmatians?

Fluttershy: Uh-huh. I love the little puppies in the movie and how they get away from that mean old woman.

(Y/N): Heh, fitting. Let's give it a watch.

You put in the movie and saw next to Fluttershy on the couch. As per usual, she cuddled herself into your chest as you snuggled her back as the movie started. Once the movie came to an end, you stood and stretched your limbs.

(Y/N): That always was a cute movie.

Fluttershy: I know, right? I'm so happy all of the little puppies were brought to a good home. It's a much better fate than being skinned, don't you think?

(Y/N): I'd definitely think so, Flutters.

Fluttershy: *yawn* Oh, I didn't realize how tired I was.

(Y/N): Why not stay the night? The others have done it too.

Fluttershy: Okay.

She followed you upstairs and got herself ready in the bathroom as you laid in bed. She soon came back out and got into bed with you.

Fluttershy: Um, Y/N?

(Y/N): *thinking* One final time for good measure. *speaking* Yes?

She gently grabbed your cheeks and gave you a sweet kiss to which you happily returned in full. After about a minute or so, the kiss was broken as you both stared into each other's eyes.

Fluttershy: I love you Y/N. You'll always hold a special place in my heart.

(Y/N): And I love you as well, my timid animal lover.

Fluttershy gives you a warm smile before settling into your chest as you wrapped your arms around her as sleep overcame the two of you. Meanwhile, Shadow was hanging out with Sour and Indigo at his home as she had told them what she almost accidentally said to you.

Shadow Moonlight: You almost told Y/N our secret?!

Indigo Zap: I'm sorry, Shad! It just slipped out!

Shadow Moonlight: *sigh* Well, I'm not really sure if he's still convinced that I don't have a harem but it doesn't matter. I'm...I'm prepared to take whatever he throws at me for it.

Sour Sweet: You are?

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah, a certain someone told me to take it with a grain of salt and I'd rather do that than drag you girls into do something you don't want to. Especially Sugarcoat, she's risked a lot to keep things like this.

Sour Sweet: *sweetly* Hopefully, it all goes well for you, Shadow. *sourly* Y/N had better not make a big deal out of it.

Shadow Moonlight: Like I said, Sour, I'll take it with a grain of salt. Keeping you girls happy is more important than a secret.

Indigo Zap: Aw, thanks, Shad.

She kissed his cheek.

Indigo Zap: You always were looking out for us.

Shadow Moonlight: *thinking* *sigh* You really deserve these girls instead of me, Shad.

???: Hey, as long as they're happy, it doesn't matter who they're with. Sure, I'm kind of envious that they're with you, Edge but seeing them happy like this just cancels that out.

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* You really have a high tolerance for such things, don't you?

???: Heh, I guess you could say I'm Alan from The Amazing World of Gumball.

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* That's one way to put it. *speaking* It's nothing really, Indie. I look out for those I care for.

???: Seems like you've really taken my advice to heart, Edge.

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* Of course. It's my way of thanking you for letting me be like Venom... the Sony Venom, I mean.

???: *chuckles* Don't mention it, bud. It's what friends do.

Indigo Zap: Hey, you don't mind if Sour and I stay the night, right Shad?

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* You up for another night of being crushed?

???: You know what, Edge? How about you take off this thing?

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* What?! No way, Shad! I don't want to break the promise you made to Adagio and more importantly, I don't want to lose you!

???: Look, it's not like anyone's trying to take it from us. I mean, sure V/N might want it but don't worry about him. I'll be okay.

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* *sigh* Are you sure you'll be alright?

???: I'm sure. It's better than risking being crushed. I'm not sure how durable this pendant is but would you be okay to stay in it for the night?

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* It ain't that fragile, dude. But, I guess I don't mind spending a night in there. Just remember to put it back on, alright?

???: Will do, Edge.

Shadow Moonlight?: *thinking* Thank you, Shad. *speaking* Of course. Anything for my girls.

They smiled and hugged him before walking upstairs to get themselves ready. Shadow looked down at his pendant and slowly, but surely, took it off. A bright purple of light occurred before Shadow opened his eyes as they now had a bit of a timid look as he glanced back at the pendant.

Shadow Moonlight: *thinking* Don't worry, Edge. It'll only be for tonight.

He thought to himself before walking to his bedroom and placing the pedant on his nightstand. He joined Sour and Indigo in bed and fell fast asleep.

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Well, looks like we finally finished the date arc, it seems.)

(Shadowlight2784: *bursts into the studio carrying fourth wall* *pant* Alright, I'm finally done making the fourth wall. Hopefully, you're right about this, Jordan.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: I'm sure it will. Let me see it. *grabs the fourth wall and sets it up. It flashes for a second before settling* Alright, it's finally set up. This should guarantee no fourth wall breakage for us.)

(Shadowlight2784: And the best part is that there's no monthly subscription because they can't charge you for DIY projects!)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: I know. Anyways, we hope you guys enjoyed that arc. Shadow and I ran into several roadblocks on the way, didn't we, Shad?)

(Shadowlight2784: *sigh* Way more than I'd like to admit. But, at least we managed to finish it all up.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Stay tuned folks, because next time is the start of the Magical Days Arc. This includes Dance Magic, Movie Magic, and Mirror Magic. Until then, this is Jordanwolfboy9743...)

(Shadowlight2784: And Shadowlight2784...)

(Jordanwolfboy9743 & Shadowlight2784: Signing out! See ya! *walks away*)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: *distantly* *groan* That was difficult!)

(Shadowlight2784: *distantly* Believe me, it's a lot harder when you're on your own. Me and LordStar cancelled our books because of...)

(*silence*)
