Rainbow stood silently at flutters funeral.It was being held at the usually joyful park,which had been turned to a depressing site to the eyes.She stood in between pinkie and AJ.Pinkie was bawling her eyes out and AJ's were glossed over,looking like she would start bawling right next to pinkie any moment now.Twilights head was down,rarity was muttering about how she didn't deserve it,spike was just looking at the coffin,no expression on his face.

"And now,some of FlutterShys closest friend will speak."Mayor Mare said,casting a glance at the five.Twilight decided to be brave and go first."Fluttershy was one of my dearest friends.She was the sweetest,kindest, gentlest pony around.I will always cherish the adventures we shared,the memories we had,the times we spent together.This loss has taken a toll on all of us here today,for it is a loss of a fellow  friend,element bearer,and to me,a sister.I lost a sister today.Fluttershy,I will always remember you.I will carry the memories we shared to my grave."

The crowd silently applauded as AJ stood up next to twilight."Me and Fluttershy were never really close.That doesn't mean that she wasn't a close,dear,personal friend.When you needed a shoulder to cry on,she was that shoulder.She would listen to you complain and whine and never get fed up with you.I don't have much to say,but like twilight said,I will cherish our memories together,Fluttershy."

As each of us spoke,it finally came time for me too speak.I slowly walked down the line of my friends till I got to the very end."Ur,..hello every pony.The reason Fluttershy is dead is because of me.I wasn't fast enough.I could've yelled out or tackled her or...something!Instead,she's dead and it's my fault.We were so close!I miss her so much!Im never going to forgive my self!"I cried and flew off,tears streaming down my cyan face

Here I am now,standing at her cobblestone grave in our first official cemetery.I drop the yellow roses I was carrying at the graves edge."Sorry for not being fast enough." I murmur and take one last glance at the tombstone.
