Chapter Text
The sun painted its bright shadow through Fluttershy’s window and cascaded to her bed. The birds are chirping, practicing their routine for the next event Fluttershy has them performing at, signalling to Fluttershy that it's time to wake up. Fluttershy yawns, stretches and sits up in bed. She rubs her eyes, blinks a few times and feels as alert as she can be given she just awoke. She pulls the covers off and hops out of bed. She walks into the bathroom to brush her teeth, comb her hair and feel ready to start the day. She stands at the sink and stares at her reflection in the mirror. “Oh my I look awfully pale.” Fluttershy thinks to herself. “Better not push myself too much today.” Fluttershy attempts to turn the tap, but her hoof goes right through it. “Oh my!” Fluttershy exclaims. She repetitively attempts to turn the tap, getting more and more frustrated. “Oh for Celestia’s sake!” screams Fluttershy at a pitch that could very well wake up every creature in and around her cottage.
She gallops out of the bathroom and to Angel. “Please please please.” is all that Fluttershy’s mind has room for. She searches the whole cottage before finding Angel asleep in the kitchen surrounded by crumbs eluding to a midnight heist by the brat of a bunny is a fact Fluttershy doesn't have the capacity to acknowledge at the moment. Fluttershy places a hoof on Angel and her foreleg goes through Angel. Fluttershy’s predicament has finally hit her. Fluttershy is filled with a multiverse of thoughts all at once. “I can't pet animals I can't clean myself I can't care for the animals I can't care for the animals I can't I can't I can't I can't.” Fluttershy thoughts bombard her as she falls to the floor with distress and starts crying tears powerful enough to allow Somnambulans to not thirst for a year, tears flowing down her and through Angel, sleeping unbothered by the world.
