Quickfic serial - "oatmeal"
05/20/11(Fri)00:11 No.26085502As Dash and Scootaloo returned, they saw Fluttershy standing in front of her booth, her mouth moving. "What in the world?" thought Dash.
They got right next to her before they heard what she was saying. "I've got a real treat for all you nice fairgoers today," said Fluttershy, in a nearly inaudible voice, "My animal friends and I would like to show you some of the things they've learned how to do."
Dash face-hoofed. "Let me handle this, Fluttershy," she said, and without waiting for a response, she leapt into the air.
"COME ONE, COME ALL, TO THE MOST SPECTACULAR SHOW YOU'LL EVER SEE WITH FOUR HOOVES ON THE GROUND," she yelled, flying in loop-de-loops above Fluttershy's booth. "DARING FEATS OF DERRING-DO, AMAZING ACROBATICS BY BEASTS OF BURDEN. YOU'LL BE TELLING YOUR GRANDKIDS ABOUT THIS SO MUCH THEY'LL INVENT TIME TRAVEL AND THEY'RE ALREADY HERE TO WATCH THE SHOW, BUT YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE IN DISGUISE!!!"
She landed. "How was that?" A crowd started to gather.
Fluttershy was blushing furiously. "....,,.,,.,." she mumbled.
"Aw, c'mon!" said Scootaloo, "You promised us a show, so now you're gonna give us one!"
Fluttershy looked in the eyes of the young filly. There was something there, something she'd never seen: hope.
"Okay," she said, breathing heavily. "Here we go." From behind the counter, she pulled out a bowl of cold oatmeal, a tiny diving board, and a bird stand. Then she whistled a warbling whistle.
From the sky around them, a flock of various breeds of birds swooped down and perched on the stand.
The crowd muttered. |
