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