Now, I'm not one that would want to side with Merriwether, but she was right about Fluttershy's reaction, this time....

You see, Fluttershy all throughout the episode Dragonshy was terrified of dragons. And that didn't change, UNTIL the pinnacle moment where her friends where down for the count and in serious danger. Then she instinctively went into berserk mode and saved everypony and got the dragon to move somewhere else. The lesson was mainly Twilight learning not to lose faith in her friends, even in when it seems things have gone for the worst. Fluttershy however ultimately never got over her fear. Her lesson was more along the lines of 'You can't let your fears get in the way of doing what must be done.' And that was readdressed later in the Stare Master. I believe that Fluttershy would be terrified to get up close to dragons again. And without a real reason, like somepony in danger, I doubt she ever will.
