NOTE: Since I'm doing more than one 100-theme challenge, I'm going to use three-letter tags along with their numbers to help keep their titles distinct. This one will be the "KTS" challenge, short for "kitsune," since the list's creator is screen-named "Kitsunechann." fav.me/d5ik75b (I'll be using this challenge for canon characters, and only in a few instances will they actually have OCs/FCs alongside them, despite the title... so I hope the list's creator doesn't mind. 
) I'll be using the KTS challenge for all of my fandoms besides Star Trek (which gets its own challenge). Today's featured fandom is...
My Little Pony!

002: Idiot
Pinkie Pie was skipping along her merry way when suddenly she heard a sniffling sound coming from the bushes.
"...Fluttershy?" the pink pony asked, peering through the leaves. She trotted over to her yellow pegasus friend, who was crying softly.
"What's wrong? Who put a frowny face on that little snout?" Being her usual self, Pinkie grinned teasingly and booped Fluttershy's muzzle with her own, trying to get her to cheer up.
"...G-Gilda called me an idiot," Fluttershy replied softly, still hunkered on the ground.
Pinkie Pie gasped at the mention of the arrogant griffin. "Gilda?! Why that meanie old beakyface! Don't listen t' her--she's just a stoopid bully!"
Fluttershy raised just one tiny giggle in spite of herself, observing Pinkie's comical indignation. "I know," she agreed, "but I really was dumb... see, over at the wood pile, I'd found this big barrel, on a pole..." the shy pegasus explained in her usual quiet, hesitant voice. "I didn't know what it was. I-I was thinkin' of having Applejack cut the barrel in half for me, and I could stand it up in my yard, and it would be the perfect place for some of the little birdies to have a bath, or a place to build their nest in...." Fluttershy warmed to her subject, suddenly gushing up at Pinkie. "...There's been two new families of bluebirds move in just this week, you know! Their feathers are so puffy and soft, and, and the mama bird is getting so near to laying her eggs now, and then there'll be so many cute little chickies!..." Fluttershy's big teal eyes shimmered happily as she cooed and squeaked, but then her face fell again. "...Anyways, when I was gettin' ready to carry the pole away, Gilda came by and snatched it, and said 'Hey, that's our training barrel! Idiot!' ...R-Rainbow was there too...."
Pinkie Pie seemed concerned. "But Dashie's our friend! She didn't take Gilda's side, did she?!"
Fluttershy shook her head, almost getting more upset now that she may have given the wrong impression. "N-no! No, of course not... Rainbow Dash was nice, she told Gilda to stop pickin' on me. But then she did explain about the trainin' barrels. Pegasii use big stand-up ones on poles like that, to practice flyin' around, just like earth ponies like you an' Applejack use regular barrels on the ground. Rainbow... Rainbow did say she was sorta shocked I didn't know that, bein' a pegasus myself...." Fluttershy hid her head under one wing.
Pinkie had been taking the whole whispered, stammered story in, blinking with a patient but unworried look. Her optimistic smile broadened again. "Aww, well, Rainbow's just sometimes, you know, blunt. She didn't mean any harm...."
"I know," Fluttershy stammered, "but it's true... I was an idiot."
"Awww, no you're not!" Pinkie grinned, nudging her friend again.
"Yes I am."
Pinkie thought for a moment. She suddenly produced a big strawberry pie, seemingly from thin air, and nudged it towards Fluttershy on the ground. "Well, if you're an idiot, then I'm an idiot too! See?" Without warning, the giggly pink pony dived down and smashed the dessert against her face with a big *SPLUT!*
Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle at her friend's slapstick antics. "B-but you..." she gave a whispery giggle again, "...you did that on purpose...."
This argument apparently didn't even register in Pinkie's mind. "Oh I know," she chirped, "but that's 'cause I'm silly! We all can be silly sometimes. There's nothin' wrong with bein' silly!"
Fluttershy giggled again, the last of her slight tears fading. Her own smile had grown a bit. "R-really...?"
"Yep! Really!" Pinkie nodded sagely, strawberry filling and crust fragments still dripping off her face. "Now here, why don't you have some strawberry pie too!" She nudged the messy, but still quite yummy, piepan closer to Fluttershy's snout.
For the first time since her earth pony friend had trotted up that day, Fluttershy genuinely grinned. "Thanks, Pinkie." She giggled again. "Ya know what? ...Now you really *are* Pinkie Pie!" A yellow hoof came up to poke at the mess of pie filling all over Pinkie's head.
Pinkie just laughed heartily, and licked at the mushed strawberries and crumbs on her face, while Fluttershy timidly started smudging her own muzzle with the sweet dessert left in the pan.

Well, this is not only the second entry in this new multi-fandom challenge I'm trying, but also is my first real My Little Pony fanart and story. I hope you liked it--I'm still a bit new to this fandom, after all! 
I really love almost all the characters so far, but Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are my special favorites. They might be opposites as far as Fluttershy being timid and Pinkie being outgoing, but in other ways they're actually similar--they strike me as the gentlest, most sensitive members of the "mane six," and I think they're both very cute and sweet.
