  3. >A cool breeze slowly traced its way across your skin, the hairs on your arms standing up in goosebumps.
  4. >The songs of birds tittered softly through the air from the branches above you.
  5. >And you?
  6. >You slept peacefully beneath them, the shade from the tree shielding you from the rays of the sun.
  7. >A tree.
  8. >You thought they were just made up by crazy wasters who'd done too much psycho.
  9. >But here you were, sleeping under one.
  10. >It'd been... what, three days?
  11. >Three days since you walked right out of the Capitol Wasteland and into Equestria.
  12. >Three days.
  13. >And already you were finding yourself more at peace than you'd ever been before.
  14. >Fluttershy has given you more than you'd ever hoped for.
  15. >Food, a warm bed, safety from ghouls and raiders...
  16. >,,but most of all, a home.
  17. >A real home.
  18. >No more wandering the wastes, looking for a place to hide under for a night before leaving for another.
  19. >No more sleeping with one eye open and a gun in your hand.
  20. >Instead, you slept in a bed with warm sheets instead of blood and dirt stains.
  21. >But the best part of it all, the part that made all of this even better, was Fluttershy.
  22. >She's been even kinder and happier since coming back home. She missed her animals, her pet rabbit, Angel, and her friends.
  23. >They were still warming up to you, but you payed it no mind.
  24. >Fluttershy was the important one.
  25. >A smile creeps across your face as you breathe in the fresh air around you.
  26. >You feel a soft sensation peck at forehead, and you open your eyes.
  27. >A pair of teal eyes meets yours, you reach a hand out to pet the pink mane that surrounds them.
  28. >"Morning sleepyhead."
  29. "Morning."
  30. >She lands in your lap and rests her head on your chest as you continue to pet her.
  31. >"How are you?"
  32. "I'm good. Real good, actually."
  33. >"That's good."
  34. "How did you get used to this?"
  35. >"To what?"
  36. "All this... color. There's just so much of it."
  37. >She smiles and tilts her head.
  38. >"It's always been this way for Ponyville, actually. You should see it in the winter! The snow makes everything look just lovely."
  39. "Snow?"
  40. >"Oh my, I forgot you don't know what that is."
  41. "Well I'm sure if you say it's good, then it is."
  42. >You rest your head back onto the trunk of the tree. looking up at the birds that sit feet from you.
  43. >You were still getting used to those.
  44. >"Anon?"
  45. "Hm?"
  46. >"I was wondering, would you like to help me feed the otters? I'm sure they're rather hungry right about now."
  47. >Giving a smile, you pick yourself up and pat Fluttershy on the head.
  48. >She still wore the flower you found for her in her hair.
  49. "Anything for you."
