For my 600 deviation, I present another original artwork. This is of Fluttershy (or Hippieshy if you like), and Tree Hugger having a peaceful and relaxing time underwater. How do they do it? Here’s the story behind it.
 
There’s a nighttime party going on by a lake to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Fluttershy, decked out in flowers, a bit of makeup, jewelry, and hair braided up, went to the party with Tree Hugger, who was also decked with the same stuff as Fluttershy, but not as much. As the two arrive at the party. everypony was there and some were dressed like Fluttershy and Tree Hugger. But they were all dancing to the music that was playing pretty loud. Tree Hugger covered her ears and said to Fluttershy, “Can we take a walk?” But Fluttershy couldn’t hear her over the music, so the two walked away from the party, hoping soon the music would be more quiet.
 
As the two ponies were walking by the lake with the music faintly playing in the distance, Tree Hugger spoke to Fluttershy. “I’d like to join in the fun, but I much rather be a part of something that isn’t to loud and stressful.” “I know,” said Fluttershy. Then the pegasus got an idea. “But I know what we could do that’ll make you relax.” “What’s that?” asked Tree Hugger. “Follow me,” replied Fluttershy. She walked toward the lake and slowly gets in, knowing the cool breeze of the night would make the water cold. By the time she got in, Tree Hugger looked worried.
 
“What are you doing?”
 
“I want you to join me underwater. It’s so peaceful down there that you’ll forget about what just happened. I would sometimes do this whenever I’m stressed out. But it’s mostly when I take a bath. Yet anywhere there’s water is fine for me.”
 
“But what if I drown?”
 
“Don’t worry. I’ll let you resurface if you had enough and you won’t drown.”
 
“Alright. If you say so.”
 
So Tree Hugger walked up to the lake and gets in. The water felt cold at first, but it began to feel warm as the two swam around the lake. “Ready?” Fluttershy asked Tree Hugger. Tree Hugger just nodded and Fluttershy, on the count of three, dove in without holding her breath. Tree Hugger held a huge breath in before going in.
 
Under the lake, the two swam all the way down to the bottom, where seaweed is swaying in the current. Fluttershy sat down with her hind legs crossed, fore legs relaxing and eyes closed. Tree Hugger did the same. The music from the party wasn’t heard from where the two were. Silence fell around them. Not a sound was heard, except for the small bubbles the two were letting out through their noses. No fish were swimming by. Small amounts of moonlight from the surface peered through. Fluttershy felt relaxed and calm for most of the time, but Tree Hugger, despite her fears of drowning, slowing felt the same calmness her friend has. And the two were at peace in the middle of the lake at night. After several long minutes, the two slowly open their eyes and realize it was time to surface.
 
The two made it to the surface of the lake. Tree Hugger hacked and cough up the water she inhale when resurfacing. When she was done, she looked surprised. “Wow! That was relaxing! But I’m still unsure about drowning.” Fluttershy giggled, “Don’t worry. I can teach you how to not drown.” Tree Hugger smiled. And as the two walked back the the party, the music there was now quiet.
