My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Plot Synopsis

While tending to the animals at her cottage, Fluttershy's rabbit, Angel, directs her to the attention of a cloud of smoke bellowing over Equestria. Fearing there may be a fire in the area, she goes into town to warn the villagers, but her soft voice and unassertive demeanor keeps them from getting the message. But then Twilight Sparkle arrives and manages to give them a formal warning on behalf of Princess Celestia. It turns out that it's not a fire that’s causing the smoke, but a dragon on a mountain's peak. 

 Lauren Faust presents: The Expendables 2.

At the library, Twilight brings the girls together to tell them what's going on in detail. A dragon has chosen to nap on a nearby mountain, and its snoring is causing a thick cloud of smoke to bellow across the land. She has been warned that if the dragon does not leave, Equestria will be bathed in darkness for 100 years. So Twilight had been ordered by the princess to gather the girls, head up to the mountain's peak, and try to convince the dragon to leave without violence. 

 HOLY SHIT A SHADOW.

After the girls gear up, they meet back in town. They are all ready to carry out the mission: all except for Fluttershy, who tries to convince Twilight that she should stay behind. Twilight believes that her knowledge of wild animals will come in handy and insists that she stays. Also, Spike will take care of her animals while she is gone. But Rainbow Dash argues that she should stay behind: in fact, Fluttershy is even scared of her own shadow so bringing her on such a quest would only hold the group back. 

 DANGER. ADVENTURE. EXCITEMENT. THREE FOOT CHASMS.

Regardless, the girls arrive at the mountain and begin climbing. But as Rainbow Dash predicted, Fluttershy's fears keep them from making progress. First, Applejack is forced to take Fluttershy around the mountain since she refuses to climb, or fly, up the cliff-face. Next, she becomes too scared to jump over a gap, which turns out to only be a couple feet wide. Finally, she ends up causing an avalanche; the resulting rubble they then have to climb over, which sets them back even more. 

Finally, the girls arrive at the entrance to the cave. All are given special instructions to deal with the dragon, even in the scenario where it becomes enraged. But Twilight knows it shouldn't come to that, which is why Fluttershy is there: her knowledge of animals will be useful in awaking the dragon and negotiating with it peacefully.  But Fluttershy refuses to go into the cave. As it turns out, Fluttershy is scared of dragons. Despite having little fear of some of the most dangerous creatures in Equestria, and even being friends with Spike, a baby dragon, Fluttershy is absolutely terrified of fully-grown adult dragons. Despite efforts to boost her confidence, Fluttershy straight up refuses to go in and backs out at the most crucial moment. 

"Fuck you, I'm a dragon."

Having come too far to back out now, Twilight enters the cave alone. She tries to convince the dragon to leave, telling him what the smoke is doing to Equestria. But when that fails, Rarity goes in to use her charms as a tactic. But this backfires when the dragon realizes that she simply trying to take some jewels from his hoard. Pinkie Pie goes in next, dressed in a ridiculous get-up, hoping that laughter would help liven him up: this immediately fails. Finally, Rainbow Dash tries using force. She flies into the cave and bucks the dragon in the nose. This only manages to make the dragon mad.

The dragon exits the cave and breathes a powerful gust of smoke at the girls, blowing them into a rock. The rock crumbles, revealing Fluttershy, who was cowering behind it. But once she sees what it had done to her friends, she finally confronts the dragon. She takes authority: chastising the dragon for his bullying, and for hurting her friends, To which the dragon pitifully responds, "but that rainbow one kicked me." Fluttershy apologizes for Rainbow's brash actions, but reminds him that it doesn't excuse him for what his smoke had done to the land and demands an apology. The dragon, now feeling bad for what he had done, cries. Fluttershy comforts the dragon; reassuring him that his actions was only poor judgment, and that he only needs to find a new place to sleep. (Presumably in another country that no one cares about. Or Detroit.)

The dragon leaves, and the ponies return to town. While Ponyville's weather peagusi clear up the remaining smoke, Twilight has Spike take a new letter: much to his relief, having been stressed by Fluttershy's pets. In the letter, she confirms the success of the mission and how it was all because of Fluttershy. Her bravery to face her fears for the girls had taught Twilight to never lose faith in your friends.
