Fluttershy: Oh, good morning, little friends. Your singing is oh-so pretty.

[birds tweeting]

Fluttershy: Yes, it is a very beautiful day today. Certainly something worth singing about. There's music in the treetops and there's music in the vale and all around the music fills the sky. There's music by the river and there's music in the grass and the music makes your heart soar in reply. [vocalizing]

Animals: [cheering]

Fluttershy: Oh, thank you so much. [giggles] You're too kind.

Pinkie Pie: Wow!

Fluttershy: Oh... you... um... you didn't hear me... um...

Pinkie Pie: Singing in the most beautiful voice ever?!

Rainbow Dash: Uh, yeah, we did!

Fluttershy: [gasp, whimper]

Twilight Sparkle: Wow, I've never heard you sing a solo like that before!

Applejack: It was like a little slice of heaven.

Pinkie Pie: With ice cream on top!

Rarity: Fluttershy, I cannot believe your spectacular voice isn't part of the Pony Tones quartet!

Fluttershy: Um, well, I—

Rarity: Especially since you're having us perform for your Ponyville Pet Center fundraiser tomorrow night!

Fluttershy: Well, you see, I—

Rarity: This simply must be rectified. You must share that stunning voice at the event!

Pinkie Pie: Yeah! It'll be so amazing! You'll be there on stage, basking in the hooflights! The center of attention! A shining star! Everypony staring at you, judging you, jealously noting how they could be way better than you! Why wasn't it them? Why wasn't it them? And then, when you choke, they'll turn on you, becoming a seething, angry mob, and you'll be horribly humiliated, never able to show your face in Ponyville again!

Rarity: Pinkie Pie!

[thwack]

Rarity: Don't be ridiculous!

Pinkie Pie: Aw, but I'm so good at it!

Rarity: [sighs] Come, Fluttershy, you will join the group, making the Pony Tones quartet the Pony Tones quintet!

Fluttershy: No.

Rarity: Pardon me?

Fluttershy: I love the Pony Tones, I'm one of their biggest fans, but I do not want to perform with them.

Rose Light: Why not, Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: Well, you see... I... I have... um... I... I have...

Rainbow Dash: Spit it out!

Fluttershy: I have... stage fright.

Pinkie Pie: [gasps] Is it contagious?!

Twilight Sparkle: Stage fright isn't a disease, Pinkie. It just means that Fluttershy is scared to perform in front of everypony.

Fluttershy: I'm very thankful the Pony Tones are singing at the Pet Center fundraiser, and I'm really looking forward to the performance, but I'll be watching safely from the audience.

Rarity: [sighs] Well... I think it's a terrible waste of an exquisite talent, but I understand that you're not comfortable.

Fluttershy: Thank you. Oh! Angel's right. We'd better get going. There's a lot of work to do before tomorrow's event.
