>Be the wee small hours in the morning of day 489 in Equestria.
>You awaken far too early for not having to go to work at the farm today.
>Reading stories to pass the time instead of going back to sleep.
>Nearing the end a particularly interesting gryphon one your eyelids begin to droop.
>Closing the book you rest your head on your pillow and try to drift off to sleep.
>You don't remember this pillow being so soft or warm...fuzzy...mmm, nice.
>Slipping gently into the embrace of sleep you don't care about the change in the pillow.
>A feather brushes the hair from your forhead as an almost ethereal voice whispers in your ear.
>"Goodnight Anon.", placing a hesitant kiss upon your brow.
"Mmmphmmm...yoe fonnammmah feteshh." A moment later, "Waii nonnno...pls, donn leaf.. I luur...yFlubbersh."
>A tear rolls down your cheek as the smile fades.
>Her wing wiping away your tear as she lays her head on top of yours.
>"Shh, no tears, only dreams now."
>Fluttershy quietly hums a lullaby as her wing gently rubs the side of your bicep and shoulder.
>You smile, nuzzling your head softly against hers as you drift deeper into sleep.
