Story

Fluttershy: Ahh... Finally, a quiet moment... just me and my animal friends spending quality time together!

Fluttershy: Between teaching at the School of Friendship and helping save Equestria when it's in danger, really peaceful days like this one can be hard to come by...

Fluttershy: ... Not that I'm complaining. I'm happy to help, and happy that I can be a role model to so many ponies! But sometimes, on days like these... I just wish I could be a little less of a "big deal!"

Quest #1: Oh, So Quiet!

"Aww... I get how Fluttershy feels! Sometimes, I just wanna relax with a Power Ponies comic and a hot cup of lava-ade..."

Fluttershy: Well, even if it doesn't happen as often as I'd like, I'm glad I have a little time to just be a pony today... Especially with such lovely company! Angel, could you please pass the--

Twilight Sparkle: FLUTTERSHY I NEED YOUR HELP! Starswirl sent me this SUPER rare enchanted flower, and the FATE OF EQUESTRIA MIGHT DEPEND ON WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN SAVE IT!!!

Fluttershy: *sigh* ... I suppose that was too good to last... Okay, Twilight -- tell me exactly what's wrong, and I'll do what I can. But you have to promise to breathe, all right?

"I'm sure that flower is important... but I'm ALSO sure that Twilight is overreacting about HOW important. Just, you know... the TEENIEST bit."

Twilight Sparkle: See? It's DEFINITELY wilting! It only has three petals left -- and if we can't figure out its magical properties soon, then... Then...!!!

Fluttershy: ... Then it'll wilt some more?

Twilight Sparkle: YES!!! uh... ahehe... I... guess I was kind of exaggerating about the whole "fate of Equestria hanging i the balance" thing. I just really don't want to let Starswirl down!

Fluttershy: I understand, Twilight... (Even if I do wish I could just be a normal pony sometimes -- instead of being Fluttershy, the Hero with the Fate of Equestria in Her Hooves...)

Twilight Sparkle: Aw, NO, the flower just lost another petal! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!

Fluttershy: I'm not sure... but whatever it is, it might have to wait. Look over there -- do you see the Cutie Mark Crusaders coming this way?

Fluttershy: They asked me whether I could chaperone them to the Appleloosa County Fair a little while ago. I hate to tell them "no" again, but it looks like both of us are just too busy today...

I'm sorry the CMCs don't have anyone to go to the fair with, either! I'd do it, but I have to narrate this -- Hey... where'd Fluttershy go?

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 3/2 on head/body to beat this boss (given that only Twilight Sparkle is active).

Fluttershy: Excuse me! Pardon me--! Ohh, this is awful... I overheard some ponies talking about how the Cutie Mark Crusaders turned themselves into ADULTS somehow when I wasn't looking...

Fluttershy: They're probably already on the train to Appleloosa right now... I know I said I was busy -- but if I don't make sure they're okay, maybe nopony will!

Fluttershy: Twilight was okay with me leaving to keep an eye on them, too... Actually, it was a little strange just how okay with it she WAS.

Fluttershy: It was like, right after I put on my traveling scarf to make the trip, she forgot I was even in the room! She was probably just distracted by the--

Conductor: (AHEM.) Miss...? Do you have a train ticket? Because the only seats we have left are in the first-class carriage, and we're just about to leave the station...

Fluttershy: O-oh... I suppose I was in such a rush that I forgot to buy one... and I left my Bit purse back at the sanctuary. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next--

Diamond Tiara: HA! Don't be ridiculous, Mr. So-Called Conductor... I mean, have you SEEN this mare's luxury scarf? With an accessory like that, she's CLEARLY a member of my personal staff!

Diamond Tiara: I DEMAND you let her on the train with me THIS INSTANT -- or I'm going to call your manager so I can demand to speak with HER manager!

Fluttershy: Uh... Okay...? Thank you for sticking up for me, Diamond Tiara, but... uh... I'm... You DO know who I really am, right...? We've met before... (A whole lot of times!)

Okay, seriously -- where did Fluttershy go?! And who's the pegasus with the scarf supposed to be, again...?

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 11 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Fluttershy: Okay... so, I talked to some ponies on the train, and I think I figured out what's going on, and THAT is... uh... Well... I think I might have a secret identity now?

Fluttershy: It's true! Whenever I put on even the TINIEST accessory or piece of clothing, everyone forgets I'm Fluttershy! They think I'm... just some random, everyday pony...

Fluttershy: Oh my gosh -- THIS IS JUST LIKE WHAT I WISHED FOR! I guess that flower really WAS enchanted... Heehee...! This must be how Daring Do feels when she's in her A.K. Yearling ponysona!

Fluttershy: And it's not JUST fun -- it's useful, too. This way, I can follow the Cutie Mark Crusaders to make sure they stay safe, and they'll never even know I'm--

Future Sweetie Belle: C'mon, girls-- Uh, I mean, GROWN-UP MARES! We gotta get off the train! This is probably the Appleloosa station, right...?

Fluttershy: Oh, no... This is the Hayseed Junction station! And they already left the train as I was realizing that!!!

Fluttershy: Uh... I mean-- "WAIT FOR ME, THREE GROWN PONIES I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE!!! It's me, a friendly swamp guide, here to... uh... make sure you don't get lost! ... in the swamp!"

Wait... NOW, where did that pegasus with the scarf from earlier go?! Maybe that swamp guide in the super-cool hat saw her leave...?

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 21 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Fluttershy: *huff* ... *puff* ... Phew! Well, I managed to guide everypony through the swamp without... uh... without TOO many ponies getting tangled in vines or stuck in the mud... (Mostly just me...)

Fluttershy: Oh, but is wasn't all bad! We met these two very nice young ponies and their Whirling Mungtooth friend, and decided to all go to the fair together!

Fluttershy: Anyway -- now that we're all safely here in Appleloosa, I'm sure Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo will be just--

Braeburn: Whooooaaa there, friends! Now, much as I'd love to welcome y'all to the AAAAAAPPLE-loosa County Fair, I can't help noticin' that you three gentlemares... (ahem)... don't have tickets.

Future Scootaloo: Uh... Wait -- you have to have TICKETS for this?

Fluttershy: (Oh dear...) I mean-- "EXCUSE ME! I may just be a simple... uh... simple country fairgoer, but... surely you can make some kind of exception for these fine, upstanding ponies? Uh... y'all...?"

Wowww... That simple country fairgoer in the kerchief sure was persuasive! (And kind of familiar, for some reason?)

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 33 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Fluttershy: ... OKAY! Well, I'm a LITTLE tired from running around after the Cutie Mark Crusaders for three hours as they go on every single ride at the fair...

Fluttershy: ... Okay, maybe I'm a LOT tired. There's three of them, after all! But they really do seem to b e having fun, and they haven't done anything THAT unsafe, so--

Biscuit: What's the big deal, Spur? He'll win "Most Interesting Creature" for sure -- and he probably wants to get out of his box anyway!

Spur: He does NOT, Biscuit! I mean -- it's one thing to bring Bloofy to the fair, but it's another to stick him in a showcase!

Fluttershy: Oh! Those are those two ponies with the Whirling Mungtooth, from earlier! I'm glad Spur is being so sensible... entering "Bloofy" in an animal show would be MUCH too exciting for--

Future Scootaloo: Yeah, I'm with Biscuit. The showcase looks like fun -- and what could REALLY go wrong, anyway? C'mon -- let's get Bloofy signed up right away!

Fluttershy: (Oh, no...) Uh... "May I speak to the showcase's safety staff? I'm with the... uh... Equestrian Animal Security Association, and I'd like to make sure you have certain safeguards in place..."

Uh... I know that Animal Safety pony has been busy for a while, but... Bloofy just turned into a whirlwind. Again: BLOOFY IS A WHIRLWIND NOW.

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 47 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Fluttershy: Everything seems to be in order... Thank you, Wrangler-- I mean, uh... Miss pony I met for the first time today! And let's BOTH look forward to a nice, safe Appleloosan animal showc--

Braeburn: WHIRLWIND! THAT PURPLE CRITTER FROM THE ANIMAL SHOWCASE TURNED INTO A TERRIBLE WHIRLWIND! OHH, THE PONANITY!!!

Fluttershy: ... Oh, dear. Step aside, everypony -- I know how to handle this! The first thing to do is get everypony to safety--

Agent Sweetie Drops: Step aside, everypony! S.M.I.L.E. will handle this!

Agent Lyra Heartstrings: Yeah! As expert monster-fighters, the FIRST thing to do is hit this beast with a tranquilization spell!

Fluttershy: No--! That's not a monster, that's an overexcited Whirling Mungtooth! And when he's spinning THAT fast, the updrafts he creates will deflect most magic--

Fluttershy: Oh, no... They don't recognise me -- and the wind's so high, they can't hear me either! I don't want to get in their way... but if I'm going to save those civilians, I may have to!

Oh, no... Everypony's out of range of the whirlwind now, but the whirlwind's still GOING -- and I don't know who here knows how to stop it!

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 63 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Fluttershy: *huff* ... *puff* ... That's... IT! I've had ENOUGH of being nopony special. This is a job for FLUTTERSHY, and I don't care who knows it! Let me get off this SCARF... and... THERE! HER, EVERYPONY!

Agent Lyra Heartstrings: Eep! Yellow Daisy-- Uh... I mean... Fluttershy! When did YOU get here?!

Fluttershy: That doesn't matter -- what DOES matter is that I know how to fix this! A Mungtooth forms a tight bond with its caretaker -- they're the only ones who can get them to stop spinning!

Fluttershy: From what I've seen, Spur is that caretaker -- we need to find her, help her make up with Biscuit, and bring them back to calm Bloofy down! And YOU two are going to help me do it!

Agent Sweetie Drops: MA'AM YES MA'AM! Uh... I mean, of course! You're one of the few ponies out there who knows more about rare creatures than we do... helping you out would be an honor!

I don't know where Fluttershy came from so fast -- but she got Biscuit and Spur to make up AND stopped Bloofy even faster! She's amazing...

• Fluttershy is recommended to reach Level 81 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

Fluttershy: ... Phew! After years of experience with animals, it's nice to know I've picked up a few things... Oh -- Twilight! I didn't know you were planning to come to the fair, too!

Twilight Sparkle: Well, once I read Shadetail Evergreen's warning that that flower grants wishes, I figured the Cutie Mark Crusaders would have used it to wish themselves here...

Sweetie Belle: Yeah... and she was mostly right. The flower turned us all into grown-ups, so we figured we could do whatever we wanted -- which is why we came here!

Fluttershy: (So THAT'S what the flower does! I knew what happened to me had to be some sort of magic, but-- Oop, they're still talking!)

Apple Bloom: Yeah... We wished ourselves back just a bit a ago, but... we spent all that time doing everything real grown-ups told us not to, and caused all kinds of trouble!

Scootaloo: Things could've been a lot worse, with how selfish we were. It's almost like somepony was looking out for us the whole time...

Fluttershy: Well, whoever that pony was, I think that she'll just come out and help you directly next time! But for now... I'm just glad you've learned something.

Fluttershy: ... You know, I learned something today, too! Trying to be a "normal pony" might be tempting... but I'd rather just be me. After all, I've gotten pretty good at it!
