	"Hey have you seen Fluttershy lately?" Twilight asked Rainbowdash.
"No," She replied. "Why?"
"Well its just, I haven't seen her in five days." Twilight said looking around.
"Ehh she is probable just busy, taking care of her animals."
"I don't know," Twilight said a little nervouse. "Five days just seems like a long time. Lets go cheak on her."
"Do I have to?" Rainbowdash complained.
"No."
"Good I will see you la..." Rainbowdash said.
Twilight cut her off saying, "But your a good friend so thats why I know you will anyways." RD sighed following Twilight.

Once reaching Fluttershy's house the two noticed that the door was open. Walking in they repeativly said, "Fluttershy, are you in here?" The two walked up to the door that had the sign. Twilight slowly opened the door and saw Fluttershy on the ground with a few animals, holding a necklace in complete depression.
"F... Fluttershy," Twilight said. "Are you ok?"
"Please just go, I want to be left alone," She replied.
"What's wrong?" Rainbowdash asked. "I have never seen you act like this." Fluttershy looked at RD, and showed her the necklace. RD looked at it for a few seconds an said, "Hey isn't that... NO. Fluttershy I'm so sorry."
"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked.
"Fluttershy and this one pony were best friends," RD replied. "But, about five years ago he went to help out with some guards in a far away town, and never returned. His name was like... William, no. Wilbur, no...."
"It was Wilson," Fluttershy said while getting up. "And he wasn't my best friend, he was my everything."
"So he was your boyfriend or something?" Twilight asked.
"No," Fluttershy said. "Wilson was like a older brother to me. Always protecting and teaching me new things. If I never met him, I might have been dead."
"If it wasn't for him," Rainbowdash said. "There is a good chance ponyville would have been destroyed."
"Ugh girls," Twilight said. "I'm new to this."
"Sorry," RD replied. "You could say that Wilson was, ponyvilles guardian."
"Guardian?"
"Well there was a time where some of the wild animals in the everfree forest attacked our town. And if it wasn't for him, they may have taken it over. He created wepons that insted of hurting things, it would strike fear in them."
"So why didn't he return," Twilight asked still confused.
"A war broke out in the town he was sent to, and most of the guards were held hostage. All escaped but three, Wilson was one of them."
"Your correct," Fluttershy said as the three walked out of the room. "Now please leave, I want to be alone."
"Lets go," RD said.
"But rainbow..."
"Lets go now," She replied pushing Twilight of the the main door.

"So why is this one guy such a big deal?" Twilight said as her and RD walked.
"Fluttershy never really said how they met, you could just tell they were loyal friends," RD said.
"How?"
"You could just tell," RD said thinking of an example. "They were like two halfs of one pony, almost completely opposite. But they were there for each other as if the fate of the world depended on it."
"So then, why did he leave in the first place?"
"I'm not sure, he was wierd about helping people," RD replied. "If he had nothing against somepony, even if it was a stranger, he would help them."
"Well im sure Pinkie Pie can help," Twilight said. "She can put a smile on anything. Thanks for the information."
"No problem," RD said flying away.
