First and foremost, I want to wish Mlohse a happy Xmas!
This is my attempt at writing her a gift!
I hope to make this a 3 Part Story (each day I'll upload another part), so here goes part 1~!
It was a slow wake up today, as Fluttershy's pet rabbit, Angel, hadn't splashed a bucket of water to wake her up. Nor had he jumped up and down on her side, nor had he screamed at the top of his lungs for breakfast. In fact, Angel had slept in relatively later than he ever had.
Fluttershy awoke slowly opening up her eyes. She gave a loud yawn out, loud enough to wake up the small raccoon sitting at the foot of her bed. It had dozed off, and awoke with quite a fright! Fluttershy said a quiet "sorry", as she realized what she had done.
Fluttershy was a very silent, naive, and timid pegasus, with her pale pink hair, her pastel yellow fur and feathers, to where when she gave this small apology, despite however much she meant it, you wouldn't hear it. It was barely louder than her own heartbeat.
The raccoon was a friend, like all animals commonly are to Fluttershy, so it didn't need to hear her say "sorry", to know she had said it.
Fluttershy left her bed, and began to trot about the house, awaking those who hadn't already been woken up by her yawn.
She let Angel sleep in, since he needed her beauty rest. Even if she had decided to wake him up, the news she was about to get, and the events to follow, certainly would be better off without him for now.
In fact, the Raccoon had come out of the forest, entered her home, and waited for her to wake up, so that he could give her the news. He'd waited patiently, and in doing so, nodded off for a wink of sleep.
As she set to make him a tasty bowl of berries, he began to make scrit skrit noises, trying to get her attention.
"Oh, don't worry I know how much you love berries." Fluttershy spoke sweetly, as she set the bowl down. As she did, she saw in the little guy's eyes that something was amiss.
Before she could ask what was wrong, the raccoon began to explain, as he ate his little snack.
He waved his arms about, making noises that most weren't used to seeing a raccoon make, even if they were used to seeing a raccoon make noises. It was quite a sight, as the little furred bandit made squishing and popping noises in his mouth as he ate. He wasn't that rude of an animal, it was quite normal for animals to eat while they spoke, or more, communicated with anypony.
Very clearly, Fluttershy could tell the Raccoon was sending a message to her from the animals. He had only seen a glimpse of the important thing, but she could tell he had never seen it before.
It unnerved him, and told her this thing he had seen was not natural, or native to the forests. The reactions were likely worse and worse with each animal, and she set off through her kitchen.
Opening the door, Fluttershy knew she was in for something not just strange, but entirely alien to her!
There is part one, I'll upload part 2 tomorrow!

Part 2:
Fluttershy began to follow the raccoon through the forest, down a winding path. As usual, any trek deep into the woods was made more difficult by animals stopping her to say hello, or to do something for attention. Attention would be loose for it's use, more along the lines of the animals stopping her to say their "hello"s, or a request for help. She had urgent business, with the look of the raccoon, not that giving some food to an animal who wanted a snack wasn't urgent, it just was less distressing.
It was distressing, very much so for the young pegapony to see animals who were confused, or afraid, and she saw more, and more as she went deeper in. Soon the plant life felt stronger, more livelier, as the animals, some seemed traumatized, some seemed like they were trying to adapt. It seemed some had even been pressed flat here and there. They were still alive, but it seemed like one out of the many animals, had the space around them distorted.
At first it was just one of the birds, who was slowly becoming three dimensional again, but the air around it felt flat, it felt stagnant yet somehow moving.
It set her mane on end, and it made her feathers feel stiff. Those were the effects of looking at the poor critter. Soon, large animals, skunks, geese, deer, and a bear even, were spacialy distorted! She ran past a pair of bears who were sitting on their rears dumbfounded, following the scurrying raccoon. When she passed, she had a hiccup in a sense, slipping, stumbling, fumbling, it was pure embarrassing. It reminded her of her childhood, "Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy can hardly fly!", but it was worse.
She was trying to understand her predicament, trying to sit up, and was having trouble getting up. The Raccoon turned, and sat down, cocking it's head at her. It then made a skrit kee noise, and grabbed one of her hooves, trying to help her up.
After a bit, they began moving, slowly she saw the woods distorted, as she began to enter a clearing, feeling her body start to decompress. It filled out, as her body became three dimensional once again, as she sighed deeply.
There wasn't much time to catch her breath, as she heard a painful scream, "Norn retreat! Norn eem dislike be-bi" She heard, a creature cry out in a voice that was strange even to her, who knew all the animals of the forest.
A snarl came down low, which she recognized as a Timberwolf, as she turned her head to see the commotion.
She saw an apelike bipedal being, furred and seeming also scaled, with wide, big eyes, a face curled in pain. The Timberwolf tried to bite it, the 2D field somehow naturally generated by the creature, but it bounced off. A loud, clanging bell like noise was made, deep and ringing each time it failed to bite down. Somehow the magic in the Timberwolf prevented it from being properly warped like many of the animals, and it failed to push past the 2D Field around the creature named Norn.
Soon she realized the frightened fellow was a boy, and she began trying to think of a way to get the Timberwolf away.
Sometimes cracks on the field would generate, in the rapid attacks, as the flat being backed away, having trouble now and then. She could rush it, but there was danger to herself.
She decided it would hace to do for now as she saw a piece of the field break, almost like glass shattering as another Timberwolf jumped at Norn from behind.
"Me eem afraid!" It screamed, as Fluttershy's brow furrowed. She ran forward, her body warping back and forth from the dimensions. It was painful at first, the quick warping, but she pushed through, her eyes watering.
Even if the animal was making a mess of her beloved Forest, she wouldn't let the Timberwolves attack this new being. "Leave it alone!" She huffed, as she slammed herself into the Timberwolf's side, or at least the first Timberwolf.
Part 3 is tomorrow : D

Aww thank you! Sorry this update is a day late!
Part 3
It was a bit confusing what happened next. fluttershy's element of harmony mixed into the Timberwolf's magical field, both clanging against the 2 Dimensional Field. The Raccon tried to run off, it's ears in pain, until the expansion of the 2D Field, warping around the wolves, the pegasus, and the strange new being, swallowed up the clearing.
The Expansion seemed to continue for a bit, until the Norn gan to shriek in pain.
"Oh no!" Fluttershy tried o growl. She nearly shouted, as she tried to stop down on the Timberwolf she had knocked over. She ended up snapping a branch that made up the leg.
Timberwolves had great defenses, but once one part of their body broke, they were sent into pain, which told them everything could fall apart at that moment. The Wooden Dirge of a Canine yelped loudly, and pulled out from under the angered ponywoman. It's comrade saw trouble, and pulled off the Norn, which it had gotten a bite into.
The Explosion of the field seemed to expandnfinitely, but a 3D pocket field opened up inside the 2D Field from the magic.
Another sensation of warping, again and again, continued or a bit, as the glass like dimensional panes broke apart, large fragments of @ Dimensions flying off forever into the infinity of time and space. These fields would be sponsible for many disasters in otherworldly civilizations, and isolated events of keys disappearing across inter galactic households. In Neighjing, somehow decades prior a tiny sliver of the 2D Field had slipped away.
This had caused a war, when a Carriegar Empress denied the hand of marriage of a powerful warlord, simply because the second he asked, she swore that her heart had fallen flat. This was the result of the fragment, which had passed through her heart, encountered a powerful magical field, due to the royal and long and complicated heritage the Carriager Empress held.
As it passed, and she said she felt the way she felt, it gave her relief, as it swung through the Warlord's chest. He had it pass through him in a second, making his fall flat, and leaving him resolute with anger.
The Mischief Aside, soon Fluttershy was standing in a Clearing with a dazed and confused raccoon, and a panicking, shrieking Norn.
"Norn feel eem bad, Norn exemely ill!" The Norn yelped, it's body, never 3D expanding, the pain getting to it's mind faster than the changes could be adjusted to.
Fluttershy felt her eyes tear up, as she moved to grab the short fuzzy crture, and gave it a hug.
The Norn felt a tiny bit of happiness in the sea of pain, which was amazing, for how much he had been attacked throughout the day.
"Oh, there there. Please be calm." Fluttershy said, her voice a wave of sympathy to the Norn.
A few seconds later, she became aware she was suddenly being watched.
This was clear by a "Ki-sjhur keh-shmackl" like nois, made by a very tall being. It had a deep blue color of skin, almost like that of a body that had frozen to death, but the color was more filed out, evenly placed, a deep blue.
There were hints of freckles, and discoloration likemottling of a yellowed skin pattern. They mixed in, somehow not green, the colors were too strange to be rightly believed, but it was otherworldly. The eyes seemed to have a pupil-lacking sense, a dark deep black which had seen the stars. There were eyelids, and a second eyelid the species had evolved, which liften to show wide black eyes, but they had white pupils, almost a form opposite of what any beings had. The eyes were a blue, complimenting the skin tone. There seemed to be white, long, neck length hair on the being's ead, and it's thin, but somehow ft body leaned down, in dark purple robes which hung on the body.
Bending down, the being was a foot or two from the pegasus. She huddered, not used to deep black eyes. The shee, as it's kin called their kin, and those not their kin but far off, yet close in genetics, made eye contact with Flutershy, and then stretched it's jaw wide enough to begin speaking.
"My apologies, they weren't designed to transition like this. I never considered there would even be a sort of problem with a natural transition." The Shee said, trying to mke up for the events of the day. "It lept out ahead of me from the portal. It is quite interesting to meet multi-cellular sentient life, other than a scary monster." He chuckled.
Fluttershy frowned, and shook her head. "I don't want you to worry, but you should be more careful. This thing, the boy, you know, Norn, he isn't very educated, but he doesn't know any better. I mean, his body doesn't wor the way the forest and my planet works, you need to watch your son better!" Fluttershy spoke, her mouth curving to frwn more.
"My Son? I believe there is a misunderstanding. That being is quite well educated for it's kind. They are fast to run off, and this breed, his breed of Norn, he's more like a pet!" Tjhe shee began, a bit flustered. If only the young wman knew how insulting breeding with a pet could be, but he misunderstood she didn't know the Norn was fully grown, and a pet.
"Breed of Norn?" She sai, her voice trailing f.
"Yes, they are a breed, the Mach sprinters. Norns are a grouping of animal, erm, usually designed or bred for certain traits. I found his breed last time I entered the portal. I should leave soon." He sighed.
"Leave, after all this?"
"Yes, if I want to get him back to his proper shape and size, we need to start now. You've done a great service saving him, I'm no good at fighting." He chuckled.
"Just, please promise he will be safe. I don't fight though." She sighed.
With that, the two said no more in their conversation, as Fluttershy reassured the raccoon they would not be back, and The Shee hugged The Norn.
He hugged it tight, trying to recompress it, and using his own Dimensional Field to reboot the little norn's own.
Fluttershy would try to think of something to write to Princess Celestia as a lesson the experience has taught her, but she was too bewildered when remembering it, to think of anything learned.
So, she wrote what she was reminded of, when Angel had awoken, while she opened the door.
It was to wake Angel up on time.
