>Since Sunset came in and challenged you, to now.
>You've been training all you can, so when there comes time for a rematch, you'll be ready.
>Every day, you've been getting in that ring, asking everyone for sparring matches.
>You'd loose some.
>You'd win some.
>But you'd always learn.
>You'd always get back up.
>Everyone says you've changed.
>You feel like it's been for the better, but Norman and Miss Sting don't think so.
>Why would they feel that way?
>Because i called Sunset a bitch?
>She deserved it.
>She's always deserved it.
>She forced you and your friends away for no reason at all.
>We gave her the chance to be a better person.
>She wasted it.
>She acts the same way she ever did.
>So what if you lost to her once, you aren't loosing again.
>You do a straight to Tony once he rushes in.
>He's down.
Next.
>"That's enough for today, get out of the ring Fluttershy." says Miss Sting.
Why? There isn't any rule against how many times a person can go!
>"Well there is now. Get out of the ring." she says crossing her arms.
>"Fluttershy, i think i'd be a good idea if you took a break." says Rainbow Dash.
Not you too...
>"Shy, you aren't acting the same way you used to."
Act like what Rainbow? This is who i am. I'm not quitting till i know i'm ready to wipe that smirk off Sunset's face.
>Rainbow and Miss Sting just look at you.
>You sigh.
Fine.
>You get out of the ring and head for the locker room.
>"Shy, wait!"
Leave me alone. I don't wanna talk.
>She moves for you, but Norman puts a hand on her shoulder.
>You take one last look and then head to the locker room to change out and leave.
>You get yourself changed and packed up, and you start to head on out.
>When you walk out the doors, you are met with Norman.
>"We need to talk. No." he says.
I said i didn't want to talk.
>"Well i'm not going to give you a choice."
>You just look at him.
So you wanna talk? Fine, let's talk. Why are you and Miss Sting holding me back now?
>"Fluttershy, we just want to help you. You're changing."
For the better!
>"FOR THE WORSE!" he yells.
>You've never actually seen Norman get... mad.
>"You're changing for the worse Fluttershy, and it's all because of that one damn fight."
>He looks at you shaking his head in disbelief.
>"I honestly don't know who you are anymore."
Maybe you never knew who i was Norman.
>"Oh i know full well who you used to be. You used to be Fluttershy. Nicest girl in school. Never let one asshole ever get her down. She just kept on pushing for a better tomorrow. If someone tried to make her day darker, she'd try and brighten it back up again. Look at you now. Obsessed with a fight."
Oh don't even talk to me about obsession Norman.
>He looks puzzled.
You are so fucking dense, you know that? Rarity.
>"What about her?"
Oh my god... you obsess about her all the damn time even though she's shallow. She walks over you all the damn time, and you pay no mind to it. Why? Because you're obsessed with her. You're so obsessed, you can't even see that others like you, like me!
>"Wh-what?"
You heard me. How about you stop telling me to stop obsessing when you do it yourself?
>You walk off without saying goodbye.
>You REALLY don't want to talk.
>All you want right now is a rematch.
 
>Be Norman.
>You've just been told by Fluttershy that she likes you.
>You sit on a bench outside.
>God... you really are dense.
>That fucking hang out you had with her was more like a date.
>The movie.
>The ice skating.
>Oh god... the lake.
>She was right, you never even picked up on any of those major hints.
>Maybe she's right about Arya- Rarity...
>You feel someone sit next to you.
>You look to see that it's Rainbow.
>"How'd the talk go?"
Terribly. Instead of her getting told, she told me.
>Rainbow looks up with a big sigh.
>"You know, i was jealous."
Why's that?
>"Well, she had you to get her to this point."
What do you mean?
>"Well, i was trying my best for since... well... ever, to get her to start acting on her own. When you took her to this place, she started showing her true spirit."
Load of help that did, look what she's turned into now. It's all my fault, i shouldn't have done this.
>"Oh shut up. You did something great. She was just fine until Sunset came in, right?"
>...
Yeah. She was.
>"So it isn't your fault. Right now, what she's going through, i can understand completely."
You can?
>"Norman, she was so proud of herself, and what she was accomplishing, and then someone just took it all away from her. I know that feeling." says Rainbow Dash looking ahead with a sad look.
>You sigh.
She told me she likes me.
>"About damn time, sucks it's under these conditions though."
You knew?
>"Yep."
Wow, i really am dense.
>"I'll say. She was about to mac on you until i showed up."
You mean at the park?
>"Yep. I jumped in just to make a joke about it finally happening, guess that's my bad, because then you guys didn't kiss." she says scratching her head.
>You scratch yours too.
>"So how do you feel about her Norman?"
>...
I liked what she was becoming, but i don't like what she's turned into.
>She smiles a little.
>"Way to dodge a question dude. Anyway, what do you think we should do? I heard she was going to challenge Sunset tomorrow at school."
Maybe... it'd be better if we let her get her pride back?
>"I don't understand Norman."
Sunset took her pride away, what if she got it back? She'd be back to normal.
>"Well, maybe. But that's a long shot."
Rainbow, you know as well as the next person that i love to help people, but i think... just this once... Fluttershy can help herself. If she's gonna challenge Sunset tomorrow, the least we can do is offer her moral support.
>Rainbow smiles.
>"Yeah. Friends have to help each other out no matter what." she says standing up.
>You stand up too, and you both head back inside.
 
>Be Fluttershy.
>Get a text from Rarity.
>She wants to meet up for the usual.
>...
>You know what, you wouldn't mind a nice soak before tomorrows fight.
>You meet her at the spa.
>"Fluttershy, nice to see you dear... though you look rather, upset at the moment." she says in a worrisome tone.
I just want to relax and clear my head.
>"Understandable dear." she says opening the door for you.
>Rarity orders what you ordered the last time, the premium.
>Once again, you are both set in a hot tub.
>"So lay your woes on me Fluttershy. What is eating away at you?"
You really want to know?
>"Yes. I just want to help my friend."
It's two problems.
>"Go ahead and start with the biggest problem then."
I lost in a fight with Sunset.
>"Oh dear..."
I lost, and i've been training so i can get a rematch with her, but the others are pulling me back, saying i've changed for the worse.
>"Well i wouldn't say that Fluttershy. You are so much more confident now. You don't even stutter anymore!"
Yeah, i know, but it seems as though the ones who i thought would push me forward are keeping me back.
>"Well, how do they feel?"
They feel like, just because i've started to speak my mind for once, that i'm not who i used to be, but that's wrong. I still help out at the shelter. I still do my part to help the school. I still care for my friends. But it seems like they don't want to care for me anymore.
>"Fluttershy, you must see that's not the way they think though. The way they see it, is that you've made such a dramatic change. Most people don't like big changes Fluttershy, especially when it has to do with something dear to them."
>You slump into the water more, blowing bubbles.
>"All i am trying to say is, let them worry, it just shows how much they care for you."
>You slowly rise back up from out of the water.
I guess you're right.
>"Now what's your other problem?"
>...
You.
>"Wh-what?"
Well, you and Norman.
>"Why ever would i be a problem to you?"
Norman likes you.
>Rarity's face turns red.
>"Oh my... and you like him?"
Yes.
>She contemplates what you've told her.
Listen rarity, i'm not mad at you... well, i kind of am.
>She looks at you.
I guess i'm just mad that you lead him on so much.
>"I... i honestly don't TRY to do such a thing."
I know, that's what makes me mad.
>She looks to her side.
Norman has an obsession of you, and you don't see it, just like he doesn't see that i like him.
>"H-have you told him?"
Recently, yes.
>"Well, hopefully that'll put him where he needs to be for you."
What do you mean?
>"Boys, in my opinion, are always the same. It takes one good push to tell them who they need to go to. If you confessed to him, i'm sure he'll see the light."
Y-you think?
>She smiles.
>"I know."
>...
Now that i've told you that Norman likes you, how do you feel towards him... honestly?
>"Although it's flattering to think that such a gentlemen likes me, i'm afraid i'm not the right one for him. Like you said, i've been leading him on." she says sighing.
You really need to stop doing that with boys. There's a whole club dedicated to you.
>"Oh gosh, please not another word, i feel terrible already. Just think of how many boys hearts i've crushed." she says in a dramatic pose.
>You can't help yourself from giggling.
>"There we go. That's the Fluttershy i know." she says smiling.
>You and her hug.
>...
>In the hot tub...
>With no clothes.
Um, Rarity...
>"Oh yes. Sorry. Forgot our surrounding dear. Now onto other business. Are you really going to challenge Sunset to a rematch?"
>You think about what's been said to you this whole day.
>From Rainbow.
>From Miss Sting.
>From Norman.
>From Rarity.
Yes. I need to.
>Rarity smiles.
>"Make sure to get her good for me. She bumped me in the hallway the other day and said my dress looked tacky. TACKY!" says Rarity slamming her fists into the water.
I promise.
----------------
 
>It's school today.
>You work your way out of bed.
>You do your routine.
>You go downstairs and eat breakfast.
>You and your father exchange a look from each side of the table.
>"I believe in whatever cause you believe in." he says putting his paper up.
>You smile.
>Your father's always been like this, and you appreciate that.
>When you feel that the time has come, you head outside and wait for the bus.
>When it comes up, you sit down in the front seat.
>Everyone begins to whisper.
>When it comes to the next stop, sunset looks shocked.
>You pat the seat next to you.
>She smirks and sits.
>"Well, i must admit, i'm surprised." she says crossing her legs.
How about we get down to business. I want a rematch.
>Her smirk turns into a frown.
>"What makes you think i'd give you a rematch?"
We gave you a second chance, didn't we?
>She glares.
>"Fine. One last chance, but that's it. What time, what place?"
Here at school, once we get off.
>"In the front yard?" she laughs.
Yes.
>She stops laughing.
>You see a drop of sweat drop near her chin.
>"You know what? Fine. We can just say it was self defence. Pretty sure the school wont hold us in detention for too long."
That's what i was thinking.
>It only takes the bus one last minute to get to the stopping point.
>You and sunset wait for everyone to get off the bus first.
>They all start to work into a circle when you and Sunset finally step out of the bus.
>You and Sunset get into your positions.
>"How about you go ahead, like last time?"
If you insist.
>You rush on in, ready for anything.
>Sunset's guard looks like it raises a bit.
>You aren't going to trick her out this time, you're just gonna go for it.
>Wait, what if she tries to grab?
>...
>Who said you could only use punches?
>You try and give her a straight, but she grabs you and pulls you in.
>Now's your chance, you stomp as hard as you can on her foot.
>"AGH!" she screams, letting go.
>You take this moment to lay into her with punches from both her sides.
>She doesn't seem to know how to dodge.
>She tries to counter one of your punches with her knee trick again, but you pull in and step back.
>You are going to assess the situation now.
>"Huh, you've gotten better." she says wiping some saliva she spat up.
It helps to know what i'm getting myself into this time.
>She smiles, and does that giant step she did last time.
>This time she doesn't try and grab you though, she uses her momentum to kick with her knee to your side.
>While you are stunned with pain, she brings her elbow down on your head.
>You would have fallen to the ground, but the stance that Miss Sting taught you, keeps you balanced, move forward, and aim for her gut.
>"Hurgh!" she yelps backing up.
>You bury her in a barrage of punches to the stomach.
>She's still on her feet, lets change that.
>You sweep at her feet with one good swoop of your arm.
>When you do, you see Norman and Rainbow.
>They're... smiling?
>You look at Norman and for a split second you remember what he said to you.
>"I think you are the only one here that has a sense of true kindness Fluttershy. I hope you never lose sight of it."
>You look down at Sunset.
>You extend your arm.
>She flinches.
Come on, let's get you up.
>She looks at you.
>"Wh-what?"
I remembered something. I don't act like a jerk. That's not me. I'm sorry for taking your seat all those times.
>She stares at you in disbelief.
>"I-i don't understand... you were winning... and now you've just given up?"
I've given up on fighting you, but i haven't given up on trying to give you another chance.
>She takes your hand and you pull her up.
>"I... i don't know what to say..."
You don't have to say anything.
>"Fluttershy... i'm the one who should be sorry. You and your friends gave me a chance long ago, i don't deserve this one."
You really don't, this is the LAST chance.
>You say that as firmly as you can.
>She smiles in fear.
>"Now what's going on out here? Why aren't all of you in class?" asks buffed up clitoris shorts shorts coach.
>"Fluttershy's just helping me get myself together." says Sunset keying in.
>"Well, that doesn't excuse your tardiness! DETENTION....mmm... see you both there..."
>You and Sunset shudder.
>Before you can head inside, Norman calls you over.
>You stand before him.
>"I'm really proud of you. In the end, you kept to your true self." he says putting a hand on your shoulder.
Thanks, i actually thought back to what you said before.
>You and him stare at each other.
You were right. I had changed for the worse.
>"No, you were right, i am dense... care to give me a last chance as well?" he asks.
I'd give you as many last chances as you needed.
>You kiss him on the cheek.
>He smiles.
>"That's not Sunset's real last chance, is it?"
That's her first last chance, let's hope that she doesn't need a second last chance.
>"GET INSIDE THE SCHOOL YOU TWO. MMMM.... YOU BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN DESPLAYING PUPLIC ACTS OF AFFECTION." screams BUCSSC.
>You and Norman move on inside before she makes you go inside.
But... we are going out for real now, right?
>"I don't know, are we?" he asks jokingly.
>You punch him in the arm.
>"Ouch, i'm kidding, i'm kidding. Yeah."
I'm glad then.
>You move on to class.
>You think about how this month has been going on.
>You've become more courageous.
>You've gained new friends.
>You've helped old ones.
>You got the boy you liked.
>You've changed Fluttershy.
>You've gained something.
