My Little Pocahontas

Chapter 6

Back at the settlement, Prince Blueblood placed a flagpole with a flag for Manehatten on it into the ground, and said "I hereby claim this land, and all its riches in the name of his majesty, Prince Artemis, and do so name this settlement: Unicornia." The pony settlers cheered, and Trixie cheered from the ship as she said "Bravo! Bravo! Beautifully spoken, sir!" As she gave Winona a bath, she said "Hurry now, Winona. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World." She then walked out as Winona relaxed in her bathtub, and ate some maraschino cherries. Angel was climbing on a tree branch near the ship's window, and admired the cherries that Winona was eating. Angel tried to clutch onto the ship's cannon, but he fell and splashed into the bathtub, splashing water in Winona's face. She growled in anger, but became shocked when she saw Angel sitting in her bathtub. Angel placed the cherry that was on Winona's bubbly head into her mouth, and ate all of the cherries in the bowl. He then stole the cherry from her mouth as she glared. Angel ran for his life as Winona chased him. She tried to catch him, but he slipped away and climbed into a tree as she tripped, and fell into a pile of mud.

Prince Blueblood looked around, and said "Captain Butterscotch! It appears I've selected the perfect location, eh? Not a savage in sight." "Just because we don't see them, doesn't mean they're not out there, sir." Butterscotch said. "Well then, perhaps you should venture forth, and determine their whereabouts, hmm?" Prince Blueblood asked. "If there are any savages out there, I'll find them." Butterscotch said as he walked off, unaware of Fluttershy watching him. "Now, gentlecolts, to work." Prince Blueblood said. "You stallions, get the ship unloaded." A group of stallions obeyed as one of them said "Right sir!" Prince Blueblood looked at another group of stallions, and said "You stallions build the fort." They obeyed as he said "The rest of you...break out the shovels! It's time to start digging!" "Digging?" Elusive and Sunset Glare asked at the same time. "Why, of course!" Prince Blueblood said as he placed a map on a wooden table. "Let's not forget what the ponies in Fillydelphia found when they came to the New World. Gold, mountains of it! Why, for years, they've been ravaging the New World of its most precious resources, but now...it's our turn. Okay, everypony, let's get started." The ponies got out the shovels, and started digging for gold.

In the Everfree Forest, Butterscotch walked the trail, and took in all the sights that nature had to offer, unaware of Fluttershy who was watching him. "Oh, my." He said in awe as looked at his surroundings. He flew down a hill, and landed on the ground near the waterfall. He splashed some water in his face. He was about to do it again, but he saw a faint image of Fluttershy in the water he scooped up. He looked up, only to see nothing because Fluttershy hid before he saw her. He placed his helmet he brought with him on his head, and looked around. Fluttershy quietly made her way down the hill, and went through blades of grass, only to see that Butterscotch left already. Angel and Twilight Sparkle poked their heads out, but Fluttershy pushed them down a little. She went up to the spot where Butterscotch was, and hopped on a stepping stone. Little did she know that Butterscotch was hiding behind the water fall, and holding his gun. Fluttershy hopped on another stepping stone, and Butterscotch jumped from behind the waterfall, and prepared to shoot her, but something in him held him back when she looked at him. They stared at each other for a long time as Butterscotch placed his gun on the stepping stone, went into the shallow water, slowly walked up to Fluttershy, and took off his helmet. Suddenly, Fluttershy took off running as Butterscotch said "No, wait!"

Fluttershy ran as fast as she could while being followed by Angel and Twilight Sparkle. They went past the big and old tree, and got into a small wooden boat as Butterscotch caught up with them when he placed the gun on the tree, and said "Please! Please! Don't run off. It's all right. I'm not gonna hurt you. Here, let me help you out of there." Fluttershy said something in Old Equestrian, and Butterscotch didn't get that as he said "You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? It's all right." Fluttershy looked down at Butterscotch's offered hoof as she began remembering what Princess Celestia said to her. She took the hoof, and Butterscotch pulled her, and the boat towards him, and she stepped on the shore. Twilight Sparkle then got angry, and tried to stop them, but Angel held her back. "Who are you?" Butterscotch asked. Remembering what Princess Celestia said to her earlier, she took a deep breath, and said "Fluttershy." Butterscotch tilted his head in confusion as he said "What? What did you say?" "My name is Fluttershy." Fluttershy said. Angel and Twilight Sparkle stared in shock as Butterscotch said "I'm Butterscotch."
