She reappeared with a sonic pop in the dark lounge.  Her eyes took a moment to adjust.  At first she thought the room was empty.  She scanned the dark corners and her eyes eventually spied a long, luxurious pink tail.  She followed the soft pink strands to find it was attached to the rear of Twilight Sparkle’s friend Fluttershy.  “The element of kindness,”  Celestia reminded herself.  The upper half of the yellow pegasus, however, was obscured by a large plush red cushion she dove under for cover.  The poor thing was shaking like a leaf.  Celestia forgot how easily this one scared, and she felt awful for having frightened the little pegasus, but some part of her couldn’t help but be amused by Fluttershy’s rather adorable attempt at hiding.
