(A/N): This chapter is a replacement to the episode The Mysterious Mare Do Well. It is an original chapter that I came up with for the reader to learn about friendship, so here you guys go.


It was a nice sunny day in Ponyville and the skies and lands were super peaceful for everypony. (Y/N) was currently flying above Ponyville just chilling and having a normal day to himself.

(Y/N): *sighs* What a beautiful day. A nice, relaxing flight is just what I needed today right after Rainbow Dash got her new pet tortoise yesterday that she loves. I wonder if anything special will happen today.

Just as (Y/N) says that, a fillies voice could be heard as it got his attention. He looks all around for the voice until he comes across a well that he saw and he heard the fillies voice once again.

???: Help! Help! Help! Help!

(Y/N): And if there's anything that this guy keeps check around Ponyville, it's that he has to make sure that everypony is safe and sound.

(Y/N) then dives down into the well to go and save the little filly that was trapped inside.

(Y/N): Hang on! Don't worry, I'll get you out of there!

(Y/N) goes deep inside of the well as it was getting darker the deeper he went, so he glows his horn to illuminate some light. When he got down, he found a tiny little Earth pony named Aura who was dirty from her fall.

(Y/N): Hey there! Are you okay?

Aura: *gasps* Mister (Y/N)! I was going to pick up some water from the well and I didn't see any, so I thought that I would take a closer look and before I knew it, I was falling and I was trapped in this well.

(Y/N): Well you have nothing to fear any longer, as I'm going to get you out of here. Hop on.

Aura get's on (Y/N)'s back and she holds onto him tight as he then spread his wings out and flies all the way back up to the surface of the well. Other ponies such as other members of the Mane 7 and more citizens of Ponyville were waiting by the well watching until they see (Y/N) burst out of the well with Aura on his back. She smiles that the Hero of Ponyville actually rescued her and (Y/N) lands back to the ground where there was a crowd of ponies in front of him cheering. (Y/N) was surprised by the crowd as he let's Aura off his back and onto the ground.

(Y/N): Whoa! What's with the crowd? Thanks, everypony, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

Aura then walks in front of (Y/N) excited.

Aura: To me it was! You're my hero, (Y/N).

The tiny filly Aura hugs (Y/N) as he just gives a small smile and pats her on the head. The ponies around continued to cheer for (Y/N) as he blushes a little from all of the attention that he was getting before he just flies off full of ecstasy from everypony's cheering. The Mane 6 all smile as they watch (Y/N) fly off.

Twilight Sparkle: Everypony sure loves (Y/N).

Rainbow Dash: Are you kidding? He's saved Ponyville so many times that he's has every right to called a hero. I mean I think we can all think of many words that describes (Y/N).

Applejack: He's kind, positive, and unlike you Rainbow Dash he's modest when it comes to doing these kinds of things.

Rainbow Dash: Hey! I can be modest as well. I'm not arrogant.

Applejack: *sarcastically* Sure, you are.

Twilight Sparkle: Girls, we're getting a little off topic.

Pinkie Pie: I know! Why don't we all have lunch together at Sugarcube Corner today to celebrate (Y/N)'s new heroic deed?

Rainbow Dash: Hmm. Not a bad idea, Pinkie.

Rarity: That does sound delightful.

Twilight Sparkle: Well in that case, let's all meet him later on today.

Everypony agrees with that, as they all walked off to enjoy the rest of their morning.


Soon in the afternoon, the Mane 7 were gathered around with one another at Sugarcube Corner as Pinkie decided to tell (Y/N) that they all wanted to have lunch together to celebrate (Y/N) little act of heroism today. (Y/N) felt a little uncomfortable from that, but he decided that since it was his friends asking, then he would gladly enjoy a nice lunch with his friends.

(Y/N): You guys really didn't have to do this. I mean it was just one filly trapped inside of a well. No big deal.

Rainbow Dash: Heh, if I were you I would take some more credit for that (Y/N).

Applejack rolls her eyes at that.

Twilight Sparkle: I know you feel like this is a bit much for you, (Y/N). But like Rainbow implied, it was a pretty big deal for everypony that was out there. If anything, we'd be more than glad to give something like this to you.

Pinkie then appears out of nowhere beside (Y/N) and get's in his face.

Pinkie Pie: So be grateful!

(Y/N): Okay, okay. Geez, I never said that I wasn't enjoying this. Honestly, I'm flattered.

Fluttershy: We're glad, (Y/N). I don't know what we would do if we didn't have somepony as brave as you around.

Rarity: Don't forget stunningly handsome.

(Y/N) blushed a little from that compliment.

Pinkie Pie: It's not easy to beat someone like (Y/N). When he beats a baddie, victory has to taste so sweet for him! Like candy! Oooh! Chocolate! You know, the kind that has nuts hidden in the chocolate and you don't know it, so you think you bit into a fly.

Everypony deadpanned at Pinkie when she said that.

Rarity: Darling, I would definitely not compare a nut with a fly. That is so foul.

(Y/N): Pinkie is right about one thing though.

Rainbow Dash: That nuts do sweeten chocolate?

(Y/N): Okay, two things. The other is that it's impossible to outclass an alicorn like me.

Twilight Sparkle: Actually, Pinkie never said "impossible." She said "it's not easy."

Pinkie Pie: I did?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes. . . you just did.

(Y/N): Well, either way there's nopony in Ponyville that's able to beat this guys brawn.

The Mane 6 then all look at (Y/N) with raised eyebrows before Applejack smirks at him.

Applejack: Care to put ya money where ya mouth is there, sugarcube?

(Y/N) then smirks back at Applejack.

(Y/N): Are you saying that you think that you can outsmart my power?

Rainbow Dash then flies up to (Y/N) and intervenes.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, I know I can! I mean I'm clearly a faster flyer than you are (Y/N).

(Y/N): The odds are still in my favor, Dash.

Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), you sure you want to do something like this?

(Y/N): Why do you ask?

Twilight Sparkle: Because. . . some of us. . .

Twilight looks at both Rainbow Dash and Applejack when she starts that sentence.

Twilight Sparkle: . . .can get a little competitive.

(Y/N): What? No. Competitive? Me? No way, Twilight. You're looking at the wrong stallion. Unless you're asking that you want to join the bet.

Twilight Sparkle: *sighs* Well. . . one of us "is" a bookworm at magic. So, I know that I can outsmart you in that category.

(Y/N) chuckles very mischievously from that.

(Y/N): Don't be so sure my friend.

Pinkie Pie: I've set up so many surprise parties for ponies like you (Y/N). There's no way that you can beat me.

Rarity: I suppose I'll participate in your little game, (Y/N). I feel as this may be interesting.

(Y/N): Alright then, what about you Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: Um. . . well, I don't want to hurt anypony (Y/N).

(Y/N): Fluttershy, it's not trying to hurt me, it's about trying to either catch or outsmart me.

Fluttershy: I still don't feel comfortable doing this. Especially to you, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Alright Fluttershy, I won't force you if you don't want to do it. Are you sure you don't want to at least try?

Fluttershy simply nods at that.

Twilight Sparkle: Alright, so today we'll all try to see if one of us can beat (Y/N). However, I want to lay just one ground rule.

Applejack: What's that?

Twilight Sparkle: (Y/N), we all know you're an alicorn, so when you go up against each one of us, you're only allowed to use your abilities by our species.

Pinkie Pie: What does that mean?

(Y/N): It means that I can only use my wings against Rainbow Dash, my physical strength against you and Applejack, and my magic against Twilight and Rarity.

Pinkie Pie: Ooooh. Interesting.

Twilight Sparkle: Well everypony. . . may the best mare win.

(Y/N): Oh, I intend to.

The Mane 7 except for Fluttershy glare at each other before just chuckling to themselves.


At Carousel Boutique, Rarity was outside right beside it setting up her trap for (Y/N) as she places down a plate with a cupcake on it over an "X" made of tiny gems. The trap was very obvious as it was set below a wooden cage that Rarity set up. (Y/N) then walks up to Carousel Boutique and he sees Rarity with an innocent smile on her face. He then looks down at the plate, then up at the blatantly obvious wooden cage hanging above, and he just deadpans at Rarity.

(Y/N): Seriously? *sighs* Well, I'll give you A for effort Rarity.

Rarity: Darling, you just haven't seen how it works yet. Just try and grab the cupcake.

(Y/N) rolls his eyes at that and just uses his magic to bring the cupcake to him and he just eats it.

(Y/N): If you're not gonna take this seriously, I don't really see the point in-

Suddenly, a tiny sinkhole appeared below (Y/N) and he falls down into it while yelling. Rarity simply cheers to herself that she successfully caught (Y/N).

Rarity: Glad that I decided to take advice from Twilight and Applejack before making this.

???: Heh, no wonder.

Rarity hears a voice behind her and turns around to see (Y/N) smirking at her which startles her before he just pushes her inside the small hole. (Y/N) then walks up and looks down at Rarity inside of the hole.

Rarity: How did you. . .!?

(Y/N): Did you even think this through? One, we both have magic so I can clearly just teleport out of there. And two, you're supposed to catch me, not you. Still, you did catch me off guard so I'll give you a C plus.

Rarity grumbles to herself in disappointment that she lost against (Y/N).


At Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac is seen pulling a wagon full of apples and he looks towards the entrance to see (Y/N) arriving at the farm.

Big Mac: Hey, (Y/N). What brings you to Sweet Apple Acres today?

(Y/N): I'm looking for Applejack. Is she around?

Big Mac: Eeyup. She's actually just around the corner doing something with some barrels. Follow me.

(Y/N) follows Big Mac as he guides (Y/N) over to where Applejack was around the corner of the barn and they both walk up to see Applejack struggling to stack up some heavy barrels.

Applejack: Hey there sugarcube. Kinda busy here.

(Y/N): I can see that. Don't tell me you're actually giving up on our bet already?

Applejack: Not a chance! But ah did promise Granny Smith that ah would finish stacking these here barrels of cider before sunset. Ya feel like giving me a hand (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Sure no problem I. . .

(Y/N) stops short from going to help Applejack as he takes both a look at her and the assorted barrels that were stacked up to see that there were only five and apparently Applejack was carrying the last one.

(Y/N): (Wow, Applejack really is a terrible liar.) I. . . could help, but what you really need is some serious muscle. How about you do it, Big Mac?

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Big Mac takes off the wagon to go and help Applejack.

Applejack: No, that's okay.

Big Mac picks up the barrel with no problem off of Applejack and goes to put it with the rest of the assorted barrels while Applejack was getting nervous.

Applejack: I don't want to trouble ya! Ya might get a splinter!

Big Mac just puts the barrel on the stack before something starts to happen which made him raise an eyebrow.

The barrels started shaking and they suddenly pop into the air which surprises Big Mac before he get's trapped in one. Applejack moans in disappointment and her ears lay flat that her trap backfired. Another barrel lands on top of Big Mac's head knocking him over and sent him rolling away down a hill. (Y/N) simply smirks at the failed trap.

(Y/N): Looks like someone's on a "roll." Ha ha!

(Y/N) simply pats Applejack on her head condescendingly and walks away while Applejack just glares at him annoyed.


At the Golden Oak Library, Twilight was standing at the front of the door waiting patiently for (Y/N) to arrive.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, you'll be fine Twilight. Just look brave and (Y/N) will totally back off.

Twilight stands in her place for another brief minute before (Y/N) teleports in front of her which startles Twilight, but she quickly regains her composure.

Twilight Sparkle: Ha! You think teleporting in front of me and scaring me is going to intimidate me? Even though that didn't make half sense, say hello to a little device I like to call the Magic Manipulator. Spike!

Twilight turns to the entrance of the Golden Oak Library and. . . no one came out. (Y/N) just looks on and yawns with a bored look on his face. Twilight gives an embarrassed smile.

Twilight Sparkle: *nervous laugh* Spike. . .!

Soon enough, Spike comes out carrying a metal helmet that looked pretty heavy for him to lift on his own.

Spike: Twilight. . . you should've. . . probably got yourself *grunts* to carry this thing.

Twilight Sparkle: Oops. Sorry, Spike.

Twilight then uses her magic to pick up the helmet that Spike was carrying and put it on her head. It was lighting up purple and had multiple wires on it.

Twilight Sparkle: So what do you think of this, (Y/N)?

(Y/N) simply stares with an impressed look at Twilight's little invention.

(Y/N): *wolf whistles* Wow, Twilight! That thing looks so cool! Did you make it?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, no I just took a couple of metal parts and along with using some magic spells to make this little device.

(Y/N): Twilight, you are so smart! You should actually be a mechanic!

Twilight blushes a little at (Y/N)'s compliment.

(Y/N): So what does it do anyway?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, I just put a little of unicorn magic inside of it. It manipulates your magic into doing any combat spell you want.

(Y/N): Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down Professor Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle: *chuckles* And here's the best part, it runs on brain power, all you have to do is put on the helmet and say something smart.

(Y/N): Cool! Can I try?

Twilight Sparkle: Sure thing.

Twilight takes the helmet off and puts it on (Y/N). (Y/N) then get's a mischievous look on his face.

(Y/N): Complimenting someone will make them lower their guard.

The machine beeps and activates from (Y/N)'s words as it made a tiny little ball of magic appear above him and he looks at Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Exactly! . . .Wait what?

The ball of magic then shot itself at Twilight and made her freeze in place with (Y/N)'s magic aura surrounding her.

(Y/N): Ha! (Y/N): Three. Girls: Zero.

Pinkie then appears out of nowhere beside (Y/N) which made him jump a little.

Pinkie Pie: Oh yeah? Well, guess what? It's about to become (Y/N): Three. Girls: One!

Pinkie was about to do something before (Y/N) stopped her with his magic.

(Y/N): Nice try, Pinkie, but I believe we had a rule where Twilight said "one of us," which clearly meant one at a time; and speaking of her, she's still the designated mare. Looks like you'll have to wait your turn Pinks.

Pinkie pouts at that and simply stares at (Y/N) as he does the same. Elevator music then starts to play as they both continue to stare at each other. Pinkie was starting to get impatient as she put on an annoyed look from waiting her turn.

Eventually, a bell ring was heard which got all three ponies attention.

Twilight Sparkle: Well. That's my shift.

(Y/N) then takes off the helmet which allows Twilight to go free and she walks up to a booth near the library and puts a piece of paper into it before walking away. Pinkie hops happily and does the same before going back towards (Y/N).

Pinkie Pie: Alright! Time for the Pinkie Pie to party up some (Y/N)!

Pinkie pulls her party cannon out of nowhere and points it at (Y/N). (Y/N) holds his hoof up to get Pinkie's attention.

(Y/N): Really, Pinkie? Just like that? Without a warm up?

Pinkie looks at (Y/N) with a confused look.

Pinkie Pie: Huh?

(Y/N): Are you trying to pull your party muscle or something? I think you should probably warm up before you start with all of the partying.

Pinkie Pie: Hmm. . . you're right. I probably should stretch out all of my partyness before I suffocate you in confetti.

Pinkie then blows up her entire body like a balloon and rises into the air before deflating and landing back on the ground.

(Y/N): Oh, and don't forget twisting your body.

Pinkie twists her entire body multiple times before she makes it twist back to normal.

(Y/N): And do some jaw breakers.

Pinkie places a bunch of jaw breaker candies in her mouth and she bit down and crushed them instantly.

(Y/N): Now, stretch your body like taffy.

Pinkie stretches out her entire body from head to toe briefly before returning back to normal.

(Y/N): Twirl like a ballerina.

Pinkie get's on one of her rear hooves and spins around before landing back on all four of her hooves.

(Y/N): Now blow up this balloon and twist it to look like a regular sized pony.

(Y/N) gives Pinkie a long balloon and she blows it up before very quickly twisting it in a way to where it now looks like one of them.

(Y/N): Now dig a hole.

Pinkie uses her hooves to quickly drill down into the ground, but stops as soon as she's done.

Pinkie Pie: Alright, I'm all warmed up. . . now. . . uh. . . how do I get out of here?

(Y/N): Just keep digging. You'll reach the other side eventually.

Pinkie Pie: Well, you haven't steered me wrong yet. Oh, I can't wait to my hooves on you, (Y/N)!

Pinkie continues digging down and (Y/N) just simply smirks.

(Y/N): Way too easy. (Y/N): Four. Girls: Zero.


Back at Sugarcube Corner, the rest of the Mane 7 were there with Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack covering their ears with annoyed looks as Rainbow Dash was laughing and taunting them. Fluttershy simply just looks at the group with a blank look on her face.

Rainbow Dash: *laughs* You guys got totally schooled. By (Y/N)! *laughs* That's lame.

Fluttershy: Just how did you all fail at your attempts so easily?

Rarity: Darling, this is (Y/N) we're talking about. He's very tricky to. . . trick.

Twilight Sparkle: He's actually pretty smart. You forget sometimes that he was once a human and from Earth.

Applejack: Well, Pinkie's shift ain't over yet. Maybe she had better luck.

Just as Applejack says that, Pinkie digs out of the ground in front of Sugarcube Corner, looking away from the group.

Pinkie Pie: I've got you now (Y/-

Pinkie then turns to the rest of the Mane 7.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, hey girls. How did you get here so fast?

Rainbow Dash simply smirks while the rest groan and continue to cover their ears as Rainbow Dash taunts them once more.

Rainbow Dash: Well then, I guess since none of us can catch or beat (Y/N) and Fluttershy isn't even going to try, I guess that means it's all up to your most awesomest pony Rainbow Dash. I'll see you guys after my victory.

Rainbow Dash then quickly flies off with Pinkie, Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity glaring at her snarky remarks. Pinkie then decides to break the silence.

Pinkie Pie: Hey, you guys will never believe what I found inside of this hole.

Twilight deadpans at Pinkie.

Twilight Sparkle: Rocks?

Pinkie Pie: Aw, lucky guess.

Fluttershy simply looks up in the air thinking of something on her mind.


At the ground near Rainbow Dash's house, Rainbow Dash looks around to see if (Y/N) was coming at all and she sees that it was a little quiet and she was all alone for the moment. As some time passes by, Rainbow Dash grows impatient as she sits down and makes some random noises to pass time.

Rainbow Dash: *blows raspberries* *clicks tongue* *groans*

Rainbow Dash eventually decides to host an imaginary tea party with some objects and her pet tortoise Tank who was flying around with a magic-propelled helicopter rotor strapped to his shell and was also wearing aviation goggles.

Rainbow Dash: *high-pitched voice* More tea, Mr. Rockbottom? *cowboy accent* Don't mind if I do Mrs. Boulder.

???: *clears throat*

Rainbow Dash turns around to see the rest of the mares arrive and they all smirked at Rainbow Dash.

Twilight Sparkle: Busy day?

Rainbow Dash: AHH!

Rainbow Dash quickly removes all of the tea set and puts it away back into her house including Tank before coming back in front of the group with a blush on her face.

Rainbow Dash: I, uh. . . uh. . . I sat here my whole shift. (Y/N) never showed and you know why?

Pinkie Pie: He wasn't invited to the tea party?

Rainbow Dash: What?! No! And forget you saw any of that! Erase it from your memory now!

Pinkie Pie: Okay!

Rainbow Dash: As I was saying, he's totally intimidated by me. He knows that he can't beat me.

Applejack rolls her eyes at Rainbow Dash's arrogance.

Applejack: Whatever. We're going for a hike. Since you're so perfect, you can stay and fend off against (Y/N) the rest of the afternoon.

Rainbow Dash: That's a good idea. I could use a nap. Ha ha! See, cause I won't need to defend myself.

The rest of the mares groan from that and walk off as Rainbow Dash lays her head down on a nearby rock and starts to doze off.


Twenty minutes later as Rainbow Dash was still taking a nap, someone peeked around from a nearby bush and it revealed to be (Y/N) as he snickered. He simply walks up to Rainbow Dash and looks down over her.

(Y/N): Ahem.

Rainbow Dash: *snores* T-Thanks for saving me, (Y/N).

(Y/N): (Wow. Rainbow Dash has weird dreams.)

Rainbow Dash then wakes up and when her vision adjusts she spots (Y/N) staring down at her.

Rainbow Dash: (Y/N)!?

(Y/N) smirks as he shows that he was holding a rope with his wing and he let's go of it to make the wooden cage that Rarity used to fall over Rainbow Dash and he then puts Twilight's helmet on.

(Y/N): The area of a circle is pi times its radius squared.

The helmet reacts to (Y/N)'s smart quote and it freezes the cage that Rainbow Dash was in with a magic force field. Rainbow Dash tries to break free as she flies and kicks all over the cage, but it was no use.

(Y/N): (Y/N): Five. Girls: Zero; and this is especially amazing because *mimics Legend of Zelda item get jingle*

(Y/N) then pulls out Pinkie's party cannon and blasts it.

(Y/N): I did it all by just using all brains and no brawn.

Rainbow Dash: You have got to be kidding me?!

The rest of the Mane 7 then arrive at the scene and they all smirk at Rainbow Dash.

Applejack: Well well well. Look, who got outplayed by (Y/N).

Rainbow Dash: Okay girls, can we please postpone the "I told you so's" and general ridicule until later?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, fine. But that will mean that the ridicule will be more severe.

Rainbow Dash: *sighs* Duly noted.

Applejack: Alright, (Y/N). You can let her go now, you won.

(Y/N) then takes the helmet off to deactivate the force field and he then uses his magic to remove the cage from on top of Rainbow Dash and she flies over to the other mares.

Twilight Sparkle: I guess you were right about us not being able to beat you, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Aww, don't feel too bad. You girls were just outmatched.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, we-

(Y/N): *chuckles* I mean really, I can't believe you all actually that you could beat an alicorn. That also clearly ranks you girls out as well.

The Mane 6 simply blink at (Y/N)'s arrogance.

(Y/N): Oh well. Better luck next time girls. That is if you want to get beaten again.

(Y/N) chuckles as he puts the helmet down and flies down. The Mane 6 just simply stare at (Y/N) as he flies away.

Applejack: Is it me or did (Y/N) just become Rainbow Dash?

Twilight Sparkle: Nope. . . it's not you.

Rainbow Dash: Hey! I'm right here you know!

Twilight and Applejack: We know.

Applejack: And that's just the start of the ridicule.

Rainbow Dash just falls to the ground dramatically at that.

Pinkie Pie: Oooh. So are we all playing charades now? I vote to be Twilight!

Rarity: I can't argue with you, darling. Not modest in the slightest.

Fluttershy: Hmm. . .

Fluttershy had her hoof on her chin and was thinking about something as the other mares turn to her.

Applejack: Fluttershy, ya alright hun?

Fluttershy: Oh, yes sorry. It's just that something at my cottage came to my mind.

Pinkie Pie: What was it?

Fluttershy: I believe that I suppose to have a picnic with some of the animals this evening. I'm sorry that I have to leave so abruptly, but I hope you all understand.

Twilight Sparkle: Of course, Fluttershy. We understand.

Fluttershy nods as she flies off.


It was nearly sunset as (Y/N) was at his house relaxing reading a book on his bed.

(Y/N): (This is how it feels to be the best one of your entire group.)

Just then, a door knock was heard which caught (Y/N)'s attention and he teleport to where the door was instantly and he opened the door to find Fluttershy who just smiles at him.

(Y/N): Fluttershy? What are you doing here?

Fluttershy: Oh. . . um. . . sorry. Did I come at a bad time?

(Y/N): No, of course not. What do you need?

Fluttershy: I. . . was wondering if you would like to come to my cottage. My animal friends and I were going to have a picnic later this evening and I thought that you might want to join.

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at this.

(Y/N): This evening? Really?

Fluttershy blushes a little and nods.

(Y/N): Sure, no problem. I'll be there soon.

Fluttershy simply smiles with joy and nods and she walks away to go back to her cottage. However, (Y/N) was thinking about something.

(Y/N): (Weird. I never really see her have picnics with her animal friends in the evenings. Could this be like a special occasion or something?)

(Y/N) just shrugs his shoulders and walks back to his house to prepare to go to Fluttershy's cottage later in the day.


It was now the evening as the sun started to set and (Y/N) was just arriving at Fluttershy's cottage. He walks over around to where her backyard is to find her exactly where she planned. Fluttershy, along with Angel and some other animals big and small having a picnic together. (Y/N) just smiles at the peaceful atmosphere as he walks over to the group and Fluttershy notices (Y/N) has she waves at him and he waves back. (Y/N) sits down at a spot right beside Fluttershy. She hands (Y/N) a teacup which he accepts and takes a sip out of it.

(Y/N): *relaxed sigh* Y'know after a day like today, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: *giggles* You're welcome, (Y/N). So. . . um. . . what did everypony try to trap you with today.

(Y/N) smirks from that as he tells Fluttershy what the other mares tried to do to him today. He told her that Rarity went for classic cartoony cat and mouse trap with a wooden cage and a cupcake as bait. She tried to catch (Y/N) off guard with a little sinkhole that she made, but forgot that (Y/N) could still use magic. (Y/N) told Fluttershy, that he manipulated Twilight into getting control of her little helmet device called the Magic Manipulator by complimenting her. He also tricked Pinkie into doing her party-type warm up exercises and digging away all the way to Sugarcube Corner. He explained that he left Rainbow Dash, since he knew that she was really impatient and egotistical and left her to take a nap while he did the rest using the past objects that he possessed from his friends. Finally, he told Fluttershy that he saw Applejack's through her ploy with some barrels before she could even use the trap on him, and she got Big Mac inside of it instead.

(Y/N): And then I said, "looks like someone's on a 'roll'." *laughs*

Fluttershy just giggles from that while Angel who was also beside Fluttershy didn't like the joke at all and frowned.

(Y/N): Yep, I'm clever that way.

Fluttershy then was about to refill one of the cups for one of the animals, however she realizes that it was empty and turns to Angel.

Fluttershy: Angel, could you go find some more of the tea that I used for us. It should be in the green bin on a table where I left it.

Angel nods and salutes as he hops away. (Y/N) then turns to Fluttershy with only slight concern.

(Y/N): Say Fluttershy, I've never seen you have a picnic like this near nighttime. Why's that?

Fluttershy: Oh. . . um. . . does it bother you?

(Y/N): Not at all. I was just wondering.

Fluttershy: Well. . . I just thought I would take a change of pace. Do something new.

(Y/N): I see. Is that why you also wanted me over? Since it's near nighttime?

Fluttershy: Actually (Y/N), I wanted you to come for a different reason.

(Y/N): What's that?

Suddenly, (Y/N) felt a huge sting on his neck which made him freeze up before he lays flat on the ground asleep.

Fluttershy: *giggles* That's why. . .

Angel then appear from behind (Y/N) with a mischievous look on his face.

Fluttershy: Angel, that was amazing timing. I'm proud of you.

Angel simply smiles at that while Fluttershy walks up to the sleeping (Y/N) and strokes his mane.

Fluttershy: Sleep tight, (Y/N).

Then, the rest of the Mane 7 arrive where Fluttershy and rest were.

Twilight Sparkle: Alright Fluttershy, you said to meet you here at nighttime. What's the matter?

Fluttershy simply moves out of the way to show the mares that  (Y/N) was laying on the ground sleeping peacefully and they all jaw drop by what they are seeing.

Rainbow Dash: What?! Fluttershy, how?!

Twilight Sparkle: You beat (Y/N)! Fluttershy, that's amazing! How did you do it?

Fluttershy: Well, at first I didn't want to participate in (Y/N)'s little competition because I didn't really want to harm him. However, when he outplayed every single one of you, I kind of felt bad for you all and (Y/N) was letting the game get into his head.

Applejack: Tell me about it.

Fluttershy: I knew that I just had to do something in order to get our old humble (Y/N) back, so I decided that I would join the competition in secret and not tell anypony what I had planned. Luckily for me, I have a handbook guide on how to subdue out of control animals and sure enough, the one that I was looking for was on there. I knew that if I tried to do it to (Y/N), he would suspect something and I also was very nervous to even try, so I had Angel help me out. I taught him a specific grip to send animals instantly to sleep without really hurting them that much. So while (Y/N) was occupied and the teapot was eventually empty, I asked Angel to go get some more tea, but secretly that was the signal to make the move. Angel then went behind (Y/N) and gripped his neck in a way to where his nerves would shut down and force him to temporarily fall asleep. And that led up to what you see here now.

The mares were all surprised by this, but they all soon cheered for Fluttershy's victory.

Rarity: Darling, what a divine plan. You are simply amazing.

Twilight Sparkle: Why didn't I think of that? Fluttershy, that was brilliant!

Applejack: Yee-haw! You sure showed him who's boss girl.

Rainbow Dash: Eh, that was cool. I probably could've done similar though.

The mares then glare at Rainbow Dash when she said that.

Rainbow Dash: I-I mean. . . that was cool, yeah Fluttershy. Awesome!

Pinkie hops over to where (Y/N) was sleeping.

Pinkie Pie: Aw.~ Look how cute he looks when he's asleep.

Fluttershy: Speaking of it, the effects should wear off right about. . . now!

Fluttershy was so accurate from that as (Y/N) instantly opened his eyes and sat up quickly.

(Y/N): *gasps* Where am I?! What year is it?! Where's the fire?!

The Mane 6 all laugh as (Y/N) turns around to see all of them.

(Y/N): What are you girls doing here? And what's so funny? Last thing I remember was just talking with Fluttershy.

Applejack: *chuckles* It looks like ya got outplayed, sugarcube.

(Y/N) got shocked by that statement.

(Y/N): Huh?

Twilight Sparkle: Long story short, Fluttershy beat you by forcefully putting you to sleep.

(Y/N): Huh?!

Rarity: And we saw it all happen.

(Y/N): HUH?! Wait! Fluttershy, you were the one who put me to sleep?

Fluttershy: Well, I did have a little help from Angel, but yes.

Rainbow Dash: What do you have to say to that, Mr. "I'm impossible to beat"?

(Y/N): Uh. . .

Pinkie Pie: *laughs* You should see the look on your face, (Y/N).

Pinkie then pulls a mirror out of nowhere to show (Y/N)'s shocked face on it. He shakes his head to regain his composure.

(Y/N): Wow. . . uh. . . this is. . . unexpected.

Twilight Sparkle: I guess you underestimated us, huh?

(Y/N): Yeah, out of all of us, I did not expect Fluttershy to be the one to win. I do have to admit, that was an amazing plan, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: *giggles* Thank you.

Applejack: I guess ya got a little cocky when you successfully beat some of us at our own game.

(Y/N): Yeah. . . I guess I did. Something that's totally shouldn't really be my style.

(Y/N) gives a smug look to Rainbow Dash when he said as she playfully rolls her eyes.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, ha ha. I already dealt with our friends lecturing me for an hour. I don't need anymore.

Rarity: Well, somepony does though.

(Y/N) rubs the back of his head from that.

Twilight Sparkle: We know that you're the Hero of Ponyville and all (Y/N), but that doesn't mean that you should doubt that someponies else's skill can't beat yours.

(Y/N): You're right, Twilight. I kind of let this all go to my head. Don't worry though, it won't happen again. I mean to be honest, we're all technically near the same skill level since it took all of us to beat Nightmare Moon and a chaotic draconequus.

Rainbow Dash: True that.

(Y/N): Tell you all what, how about to make up for all of this, the next meal that we have together as a group will be on me.

Rarity: Darling, you don't have to do that.

(Y/N): Nope. I've made up my mind. Besides, I was the one who lost the bet, it's the least I can do.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, if you insist (Y/N).

Applejack: *yawns* Well, that'll have to wait till tomorrow y'all. I say it's time to hit the hay.

Everypony agrees to that as they all decided to go their separate ways leaving Fluttershy's cottage. However before (Y/N) leaves, he turns back to Fluttershy and gives her a wink which made her blush and giggle a little. She then waves goodbye to (Y/N) as he did the same. As (Y/N) was walking home, he thought of a letter to write to Princess Celestia.

(Y/N): (Dear Princess Celestia, my friends taught me an important lesson about friendship. Just because that you may seem like the best in your group, doesn't mean that you should underestimate your friends abilities or turn it into a competition. They have just as much potential of doing what you can do if they try. They can be smarter, faster, maybe even more powerful. Sure, you can be good at one thing and bad at the other, but it never means that you shouldn't think highly of them. Everypony in the world has something special about them and you shouldn't think that it can't surpass somepony else. Your royal friend, (Y/N) (L/N).)
