Fluttershy

In time, Fluttershy had made a small army of snow animals; such as birds, foxes, cats, otters, bear cubs, and more. With the help of her volunteers, each animal was getting what it needed. Flying animals were shown where to fly for the winter. Hibernating animals were shown the way to the best hibernating spots. Animals that needed to store food managed find plenty of food that was lost in the snow. And as soon as their job was done, Fluttershy gives these snow creatures a final pet before they turn back into lifeless dunes of snow. "Oh thank you so much, my little snow creatures! Now it's your turn to rest for the winter. I'll see you next year." Fluttershy floats over and pets Snoopy and pats Obsidia's shoulder. "And thank you both as well for all the help. You can join the party again, if it's too cold out here. Or, if you want to stick around, we could play some snow games. I use to hate it, but Rainbow Dash taught me the fun of snowball fights. I'm no good at it, but I still have tons of fun." Fluttershy chuckles to herself. "Or, if you just want to play around with the snow creatures you made, you can do that too! Just remember, they also want to sleep for the winter, so don't make them stay awake forever." After Fluttershy thanks her friends, she sees something in the far distance. A shadowy pony retreating into the woods. No... Three ponies! But they are gone just as fast as Fluttershy saw them. "Huh. I wonder who that could have been?"

It's snowing a little more than usual right now, so how about we stay inside for a bit? Let me talk to the weather ponies to see how long it will take until it's all cleared up...

Fluttershy nods, listening to every word Snoopy has to say. "So fascinating." She then remembers the others who are here. She turns back to face Shiny and Obsidia. "I just need help with the winter animals around here. Some are suppose to be hibernating, but they can't find the right cave. Others are suppose to be flying south, but they don't know which way is south. Some are just trying to find a meal. Each animal seems to have its own unique needs." Fluttershy explains. After that, she floats over to a patch of snow. "This garden is very special. The snow here is a little enchanted. So if you need help, just make a snow buddy." Fluttershy makes a small snow bunny, and it begins to hop around. "See? You can ask them to help the animals, or they can keep you company. Just don't make anything bigger than a pet. The magic doesn't work for bigger things."

Fluttershy jumps a little, regardless of Shiny's tone. Even so, she turns and sees the friendly pony. "Oh, really? I'd really like that. I just hope you won't get too cold being out here with me. These snow animals can be a little hard to help, especially when they leap into a big snow mound." However, Fluttershy's expression changes to pure excitement when she sees Snoopy. With a gasp, she flies over to him. "Oh my gosh, a real-live talking dog! This is just so incredible. I've always wanted to talk to a dog. What do dogs like to eat most? When did you start talking? Are there more talking dogs? I'd love to know everything."

Outside, Fluttershy is helping some animals to go hibernate, while she is also giving others some warm outfits to wear. "Hmm... I wonder if I should ask somepony for help. This is a bigger job than I thought it would be. Maybe I could include some snow games to make it fun!" Fluttershy say to herself while she takes care of the various animals she can find.

Fluttershy pokes her head through the door before reluctantly entering. She is wearing a jacket, a scarf, and earmuffs. "Eee~" Her ears lower as she shudders in place. "Nope. Can't do it. Not ready for this. If anypony needs me, I'll be outside with the winter animals." She turns head back outside, and trips over something, falling down flat on the floor. "Oooh... Huh?" She lifts her head to the sound of gossip, but she doesn't see anyone nor anything out of place. "Huh. Strange. I could have sworn I tripped over something." With a shrug, Fluttershy leaves the party and heads out to find some animal friends.
