After meeting Rarity, Mata Nui, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike were on their way to inspect the final accommodation for the celebration of Princess Celestia. It was then where they encountered Fluttershy. Initially startled by Twilight's sudden appearance, she was overwhelmed with curiosity at the sight of Mata Nui. Fluttershy's love for all animals and eagerness to learn about new species was what caused Fluttershy's mood switch. Fluttershy was also ecstatic when she saw spike, as she had never encountered a baby dragon before. Even after Twilight, Spike, and Mata Nui left to go back to the tree library, Fluttershy still followed them. She wanted to know more about this strange bio-mechanical life form.
