Luigi: (He hums and walks past Fluttershy, stopping when he spots her.) ...Oh! Heya, Fluttershy! What are-a you up-a to on this-a fine day?



Fluttershy: Oh! Hello, L-Luigi... I was just laying here... preening my wings...



Luigi: Preening, huh...?



Fluttershy: Oh, yes. My wings are still sore after all that high-speed flying. I was worried I couldn't keep up with Rainbow Dash when we were chasing Applejack... and later on, Wheelie Guy. I can't believe that monster almost escaped with the Element of Honesty.



Luigi: Yeah... That-a was pretty crazy...



Fluttershy: I also feel bad about what Kamek and Morton tried out there... Poor Applejack... I spoke to her a while ago... but she's still a little frazzled. I would be, too, if somepony manipulated a bad situation to make me look like a traitor.



Luigi: *looks at the water morosely* ...She'll-a be fine. So... I was-a wondering if-a you wanted some-a help preening, there.



Fluttershy: Y-You... You want to help me preen...?



Luigi: Sure! It doesn't look-a hard. It's-a like a massage, right...?



Fluttershy: Well... k-kinda… You've seen how birds preen their wings, right? My case is similar, but... it's a delicate process. If you bite too hard, you may damage my wing.



Luigi: Bite...? No! I was-a gonna use-a my fingers! I'll be careful not to hurt-a you, Fluttershy.



Fluttershy: Well...……………………………….. Okay.



(Luigi sits down and gently takes hold of Fluttershy's wing.)



Fluttershy: Now, using your... "Fingers?" ...Gently squeeze the edge of my wing, where my mouth was...



Luigi: Okay... *complies, squeezing while gently scratching with his covered fingernails*



Fluttershy: Now, squeeze until I say to stop... ………...Ah... Ohhh... mmm... Yeah, that's good...~ Now move up a little and do it again...



(Luigi continues this practice until he's soothed every part of the wing.)



Luigi: *thinks* (Wow... This is-a awesome...)













Me: (Sorry, I have no idea how preening works...)
