I was at my house surrounded by my animal friends and Angel. "You guys want to hear a story", I asked them. They all nodded. "Yay! Okay, so you guys probably don't know this, but I wasn't always shy like this." My animal friends and Angel looked bewildered. This made me smile. One of the squirrels asked how did I change. "I was just about to tell you, sweetie. So it started like this..."

......
I was walking through Everfree forest when I heard thunder and lightning, but I didn't run away and hide. I just kept on galloping. As I got to the end, I flew off and headed straight for the clouds. Up in the sky, I saw Rainbow Dash.

"Get out of here, Fluttershy", said Rainbow Dash. "It's way too dangerous to be up here-"

"I embrace danger", I yelled over the sudden clap off thunder. I flew higher, close to the clouds full of lighting. Just then, a lightning bolt nearly hit my wing. I loved it. "Is that the best you got", I shouted to the clouds. Then a series of lightning bolts nearly hit me. "That's more like it!"

"Fluttershy, please. I don't want you to get hurt", said Rainbow Dash as she flew up beside me.

"Let's race!" I few at lightning speed through the sky.

"Fluttershy, wait", I heard Rainbow call after me.

By the time she caught up, I was at Twilight Sparkle's house. " I won!"

Rainbow Dash landed in front of me. "You shouldn't race in this kind of weather."

"But I just did and I'm fine." I knocked on Twilight's door.

She opened it. "Hey Rainbow, Fluttershy. Come in, get out of the rain."

Rainbow and I walked in.

.....
"And that, my furry friends, is just the beginning."
