Fluttershy is going about her day, taking care of her animals, when she's interrupted by a knock at her door. She's greeted by Applejack and Winona, the latter of which has had a run in with a [[SmellySkunk skunk]]. While cleaning up the dog, it occurs to Fluttershy that for all the care she gives her friend's pet, she has no idea how Applejack came to own her. The answer she receives not only reveals HiddenDepths about her friend, but makes the pegasus realize just how little she knows about the pets she takes care of.

The story was on hold while the author focused on school, but they plan to update soon.

!! Tropes:
