A week had passed since the incident involving the ursa minor and things had relatively calmed down for the most part. A few townsfolk were still a little paranoid of the hulking bear-like creature attacking once more, but you and your friends kept reassuring them that the ursa minor wasn't going to bother them again as long as no one irritated it again much like a certain duo of colts did.

But that wasn't the main focus right now. It was instead laid upon Fluttershy's cottage where we can see both you and the timid mare feeding her animal friends one by one. After giving some fish to a couple of ferrets that lived underneath Fluttershy's bridge, you stepped out to see her feeding some of her bird friends with some worms that she had in her mouth as she spit them out to the birds before also spitting out the awful taste soon after. Seeing this brought a small cringe to your face.

(P/N): Geez Fluttershy, how do you even manage to do that every day?

You asked, stopping Fluttershy from what she was doing for the moment.

Fluttershy: O-Oh. You get used to it after a while, P/N.

(P/N): Under normal circumstances, I'd say that feeding a few birds with worms from your mouth is kinda... unsanitary, but you do you, Fluttershy.

The Pegasus mare flew down to your level and gave you a small smile.

Fluttershy: Thanks again for helping me out today, P/N.

(P/N): It was no problem at all, Fluttershy. Besides, seeing that adorable smile on your face makes it all worthwhile.

You admitted, earning yet another blush from Fluttershy who turned her head away to try and hide it before she spoke with a stutter in her voice.

Fluttershy: T-Thank you. I-I'm gonna get back to tending my animal friends!

She rushed to another side of her cottage, leaving you by yourself.

(P/N): *sigh* I've gotta help her come out of her shell. She'd be a lot more outgoing if she was put in the right direction.

???: Quite the charmer, aren't you?

That familiar soft, yet menacing voice only led to you groaning internally. You turned to the nearest water source and gazed down at your reflection as sure enough, V/N stared back grinning.

(P/N): *sigh* What do you want?

(V/N): It's honestly quite sad to see that you haven't picked a lover yet. I mean, you've got what? Six different mares that you hang out with and you still haven't decided on who you'd be with?

(P/N): First of all, you should really learn to mind your own business. Second of all, I don't even like them, at least not in that way. Honestly, if I had the option, I'd take Trixie, but she's not here, so...

V/N didn't appear to be convinced by your answer as he puts a hoof to his chin and gives you a look of mock confusion.

(V/N): You sure about that? So, all those times you blushed when one of them hugged you or made you feel good was all just coincidental?

(P/N): No, but... it wasn't because I liked them. It reminded me of the comfort of being loved. I don't know how long you've been swarming around in my head, dude, but if you've been with me long enough, you should be fully aware of my past relationships.

(V/N): *chuckles* More like painfully aware.

(P/N): Yeah, sure. I mean, if you spend all day shuffling words around, you can make anything sound bad, V/N. Now, go away, will you? I'm busy helping Fluttershy today and I don't need you teasing me, taunting me, or even judging my love life.
