It had been two weeks since the party and the group was in school, going about their normal business as the autumn leaves began to fall.
“I really love autumn,” Dash admitted as she was walking alongside Twilight, the latter wearing a pair of glasses on her face. She was currently wearing a dark purple vest on top of a baby blue button up shirt, a medium length violet skirt, long violet socks, and black dress shoes, “Almost as much as I love my little meganekko girlfriend,”
“...meganekko?” Twilight blinked in confusion.
“It means ‘glasses girl’ in Japanese,” Dash explained.
“Oh… thank you,” Twilight giggled a bit, a faint blush on her face.
“So… do you need those glasses to see? You’ve never told me,” Dash admitted and asked.
“Oh...well, kinda yeah,” Twilight nodded.
Dash simply nodded back as they continued to walk.
“You know you don’t always have to walk me to school. I can take care of myself you know,” Twilight stated to the tomboy.
“I know. But it doesn’t hurt to give ya company now and then,” Rainbow shrugged.
Twilight giggled softly as she took Dash’s hand into hers, the tomboy blushing a bit before smiling softly at the violetette.
“So, how has your part time work with Cadance been?” Dash asked.
“It’s been really cool. She always gives the best advice on that radio show,” Twilight smiled, “I really love tuning in to L.O.V.3.”
“...still remember that day you filled in for Cadance?” Dash asked.
“The day you finally called in and asked for advice…” Twilight giggled.
---
“You’re on with the the Crystal Heart of Love, what’s up?” Twilight asked, using a voice modifier to make her voice sound like Cadance.
-Uh… I’d… like some advice,- Dash’s voice informed over the call.
“Oh? What about?” Twilight asked, recognizing her crush’s voice.
-There’s this girl I like…she’s uh...oh man how do I say this? She’s...amazing. She’s smart, pretty, a bit brave and she has very nice glasses that compliment her beauty…- Dash informed.
Twilight blushed a bit, “I...I see...ahem. Please continue,”
-I really like her. But...everytime I try and confess my feelings to her, I just end up choking… and I’m also scared because… you know, I’m… a girl too…- Dash continued, -I don’t know how everyone will react when they hear me, one of the best athletes in school, is in love with another girl. But in all honesty… I love her. I truly love her with all of my heart, and I just… need some help figuring out how to tell her-
Twilight’s entire face was covered with a blush as she looked to the control console, specifically the switch that would turn off the voice modifier.
“...Th...that’s easy, Rainbow Dash...I-”
-Huh? Wait...how do you know my name?...Wait a minute, that voice…-
Twilight turned off the voice modifier and took a deep breath before speaking again, “...it’s me.”
-...Twilight?- Dash gawked in surprise, -You’re Crystal Heart of Love?-
“No. I’m filling in for her today… she got sick…” Twilight informed, “...did you mean all of that?”
-...E...everyword of it- Rainbow replied, her voice almost squeaky sounding when she said that.
“...you know what Rainbow? ...I love you too,” Twilight confessed.
---
“Did you get into trouble for what you did?” Dash asked.
“No. Though, a lot of people did like the advice I gave, Cadance has actually considered letting me host my own section,” Twilight informed as they arrived on school grounds, “And you know what, I might take her up on that offer.”
“Really?” Dash smiled.
“If I do, you’ll be the first one I tell,” Twilight smiled, “Alright… time for me to get to bio. See you later Bowy,”
Dash blushed a tiny bit at the pet nickname Twilight gave her, “Later Twil,”
---
It was a normal time for Fluttershy in her math class, the pinkette twirling her pencil a bit, but… she was feeling drowsy, almost on the verge of falling asleep. She looked to her notes and tried to answer a few more questions on her worksheet. but the urge to sleep was to much for her to resist and the pinkette finally dozed off.
“Ahem!” the teacher cleared their throat loudly, causing the shy pinkette to shoot up, “I’m sorry, but am I boring you, miss?”
“No. N-not at all,” Fluttershy shook her head.
“Good. Now please try and stay awake,” the teacher requested.
Fluttershy nodded and got back to doing her assignment, but was still sleepy as she did it. She couldn’t help but wonder why she was sleepy though. She had a good night’s sleep last night, but she was sleepy. She looked to her next question, but let out a soft groan about how hard it was. In her mind, the only person who could possibly solve this problem was her friend Twilight, but she was in one of her other classes right now.
She then saw a piece of paper float down by her leg and she picked it up, seeing some things written down on it, it looked sort of like how to solve the question, and Fluttershy noticed an inital of ‘S.S’ on it. She looked over at one of her other friends who was hard at work.
‘...Thanks Sunset,’ Fluttershy thought as she got to solving the question.
---
After math, Fluttershy walked over to Sunset, the fiery red head wearing a black leather jacket, a yellow and red sun necklace, a sky blue top, a pair of jeans, and black high heels of sorts.
“...hi Sunset,” Fluttershy greeted.
“Hey,” Sunset smiled.
“Ano…” Fluttershy began, making sure nobody else was around before whispering to Sunset, “Thank you for helping me with that question.”
“No problem,” Sunset responded as they hugged. Sunset looked at the pinkette for a moment, feeling her heart begin to race.
“...Ano, is something wrong, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked before she yawned a little.
“...I think I should be asking you that,” Sunset admitted.
“What…?” Fluttershy began before she let out another yawn, “What do you mean?”
“Well for one, you’re starting to yawn. Did you have a good night’s sleep last night?”
“Hai,” Fluttershy nodded before yawning once more. The pinkette wanted to fall asleep, but she was still in school...though she wouldn’t mind finding a nice soft patch of grass to lay down on, “I’m just… sleepy…”
Sunset didn’t know what to say or do as she saw Fluttershy was very much on the verge of falling asleep right then and there, the pinkette about to tip over before Sunset caught her in time. Sunset blushed a bit as she pulled Fluttershy back up.
‘She looks so… peaceful,’ Sunset thought as she looked at Fluttershy’s sleeping form. She looked at her for a moment, wanting to leave her be, but they were still in school, “...I better take her to teh nurse’s office to see what’s wrong.”
---
Soon, Fluttershy was asleep on a bed like structure in the nurse’s office, the pinkette snoozing softly as she hugged one of the extra pillows given to her.
“She was sleepy most of second period and she fell out like a light when I was talking with her,” Sunset explained to the school nurse, “She told me she had a good night’s rest last night, but she kept falling asleep on me.”
“I do not know what may be happening to your friend, but sadly her classes she can not attend,” the nurse informed her.
“I figured as much...so what should I do?”
“She will be able to rest here, so you should tell her teachers, my dear,” she smiled.
“Alright…” Sunset nodded, “Thanks Nurse Zecora,”
“Not a problem, maybe I can figure out what is wrong with her then,” Zecora stated as Sunset left.
---
Much later, Fluttershy began to groan a bit as her eyes began to open up. She wanted to try and sleep a little bit more, but she was unable to do so. Fluttershy let out a groan as she sat up, looking to see Pinkie Pie and Rarity, the latter currently in a white top, a elegent purple skirt, white dress socks, and black dress shoes.
“Good to see you, sleepyhead,” Pinkie giggled.
“I’m glad to see you’re alright darling,” Rarity smiled.
Fluttershy just rolled her eyes for a moment as she sat up, stretching a little, “I’m fine. I just...felt tired is all. I would want to go back to sleep… then I got interrupted…”
“Oh...well hurry and wake up. School’s over a-”
“Eh?! I’ve been asleep for that long?!” Fluttershy gasped in worry, before turning to the two in anger, “Why didn’t any of you come and wake me up?!?!”
“..Uh...we...didn’t know you were in here until Sunset told us,” Pinkie replied sheepishly.
Fluttershy groaned at this, “Baka! You should’ve realized this when you noticed that one of your friends was missing!”
“...sorry?” Pinkie stated.
“Fluttershy dear, there’s no need to act so nasty. We were just concerned is all,” Rarity stated.
“...I’m sorry…” Fluttershy apologized as she began to tear up, “I...I shouldn’t have snapped. Yo-you girls probably hate me.”
“...we do not,” Rarity responded.
“Y...yes you do…” Fluttershy whimpered before crying waterfall tears, “You hate meheheheeee!”
“...somebody’s in a strange mood…” Pinkie whispered to Rarity, “First she’s angry, now she’s crying l-”
“HAHAHAHAHA!” Fluttershy suddenly began to laugh hysterically, causing her two friends to leap back in surprise.
“...huh?” Pinkie and Rarity blinked.
“Uh….what’s so funny, dear?” Rarity asked.
“I! I just remembered the time Pinkie accidently ate one of your diamonds when she thought it was rock candy!!!” Fluttershy laughed.
Both girls exchanged a look of worry about Fluttershy’s behavior. First she was angry, then she was crying hysterically, and now she’s laughing like crazy…
---
The two were walking with Fluttershy outside of the school, the shy pinkette now back to being angry, but it seemed more like annoyance than malice if anything.
“He always waits for me so we can walk back,” Fluttershy muttered, “But no. You two have to be the ones to walk me home.”
“No offense Fluttershy, but you’ve been pissy ever since you woke up!” Pinkie told Fluttershy.
“Language Pinkie Pie!” Rarity told her, “If I had soap, it would be in your mouth right about now.”
“It’s not my fault Fluttershy’s acting all moody right now!” Pinkie argued.
”Well it IS your fault that my boyfriend is waiting for me!” Fluttershy snapped at the bubbly pinkette.
“How?” Pinkie asked.
“Well for one; you dragged me out of the school nurse’s room! Second; I….I…” Fluttershy began before she began to whimper in fear, “I’m scared if Silver-kun isn’t near me. Wh...what if those jocks try to have th-their way with me again?”
Pinkie and Rarity exchanged a look, seeing their friend go from annoyed to nervousness. One of them was about to say something when...
“Butterfly-chan?”
Fluttershy tensed a bit as she slowly looked over her shoulder, seeing a boy a year or two older than her. The boy in question had ice blue hair with a few snow white highlights in it, and soft light blue eyes. He was currently wearing a ice blue jacket on top of a pure white shirt, blue jeans and he had an image of a pure silver hawk on the back of his jacket.
“...Silver-kun,” Fluttershy smiled as she ran over and hugged him, “I’m so happy to see you!”
“Where were you today? Timid was waiting for you to come over so you two can read some manga together.”
“...I… am so so so SO sorry…” Fluttershy apologized as tears began to fall from her eyes, “I...I had suddenly fallen asleep in class, and I didn’t wake up until school was over! I’m so sorry, Silver-kun!!!”
“It’s alright. No harm no foul,” Silver Hawk told her, rubbing her back a bit in hopes of calming her down.
“I promised I would… I… I… I…”
“Shh…” he told her as he held her close, “It’s fine, Butterfly-chan...it’s fine.”
Fluttershy finally calmed down and smiled, “Aishiteru(I love you), Silver-kun.”
“Aishiteru, Butterfly-chan,” Silver smiled softly at her.
“...can I go over to your house so I can try and make it up to Timid-chan?” Fluttershy asked.
“Sure you can. You’re always welcome to come to my place,” Silver replied as Fluttershy hugged him and walked off to wait for him, he then turned to Pinkie and Rarity for a moment, “...what happened to her?”
“We don’t know. She got very moody after she woke up,” Pinkie replied, “First she was all angry at me and Rarity, then she started to cry hysterically, followed by laughing like crazy, being annoyed, really nervous, and...well, you saw the other two.”
“...I see,” Silver noted.
“I’ve been meaning to ask, do you remember where you two disappeared to during my Halloween party a few weeks ago?” Pinkie asked.
“I honestly don’t know. All I can remember was arriving with Butterfly-chan, and then...nothing,” Silver replied.
“She said she remembers you saying something about honey and that’s it.”
“Honey?”
“Me and Sugar Belle are working on crossreferencing what was at the party, so we can see if there’s anything honey related.”
“Ahh...I see,” Silver noted once more, “Well, I’m off. See you later,”
“Bye,” they waved.
---
Fluttershy and Silver Hawk soon arrived at the latter’s home, which was fairly large (but not too large) and had a bit of a Japanese vibe to it.
“...you know, there are times I look at this house and… I feel like I’m back in Japan, you know?” Fluttershy admitted as she walked alongside Silver.
“Hai,” Silver nodded as the two walked up the the front door, Silver unlocking it and the two seeing the nice home on the inside, “Timid started playing a game before I left… think she said it was some new Lego video game or somethin’,”
“Ahh. I think i’ve heard about that. It’s kinda like Skylanders, only you use special lego figures instead,” Fluttershy explained.
“And that explains why she went straight into the Lego aisles last time we went to the toy store…” Silver Hawk realized as they walked into the living room, seeing that Timid was there playing on a Wii U, the blonde girl currently wearing a pale pink shirt, a light green skirt, and pale pink socks.
“Come on… come on…” Timid muttered as she finished off the boss, “YES!” She then looked to the screen for a moment and gained a scowl, “NO! No no no no no! Ugh… disrespecting the ninjas...”
“Hi Timid,” Fluttershy waved, getting her attention.
“Onee-chan!” Timid giggled as she paused the game and ran over to hug Fluttershy, “...where were you? I was waiting with the mangas and I got Peaches and Yuki to sit still so we could read with them.”
“Gomen, Timid-chan. I should’ve come earlier, but...well…” Fluttershy paused, not sure how to tell her, “I...kinda feel asleep.”
“Eh? Fell asleep?”
“...don’t know why…” Fluttershy admitted as she looked to the Lego toys that were by a portal of sorts, “This looks really cool…”
“I got quite a few characters. I like playing with the Ninjago characters a lot… only problem is, they didn’t get the show voice actors. Again,” Timid informed as she sat down, “Plus, the Ninjago level in this game is stupid. I mean, it’s like the people who made this game didn’t even study up on the series!”
“Uh-huh,” Fluttershy nodded.
“It’s based on the Tournament of Elements season,” Timid informed.
Fluttershy gave a look of worry, since that was the first season Timid saw, so it had a special place in the young girl’s heart.
“First off; the Ninja aren’t in the right gis. Cole’s the only one in the one that was in the show at that point. Second; for whatever reason, Lloyd’s still the Golden Ninja. Third; Sensei Wu is with them and not Garmadon! And the worst blow they did, Skylor’s not in the game!” Timid told Fluttershy, “Mou… I was so excited to play this level too!”
“Soka…” Fluttershy sighed, “That’s the problem with most games these days. The developers sometimes miss a few things or don’t study up on the series they’re using.”
“And apart from the Lego Movie, which is the second-to-last level, according to this guide I read,” Timid informed as she held up a player’s guide to the game, “This is the only actually Lego-owned thing in this game that’s in the main story!”
“...wow,” Fluttershy blinked, “That’s...wow.”
Timid just nodded and looked at her figures, “But one kind of cute thing I wanna try and show you if I can… let me put Nya and Eris in the game…”
“oh...okay,” Fluttershy nodded as she sat down on the couch, “Go ahead, Timid-chan.”
Timid put the characters on the portal and unpaused the game.
-Do you ever find that the boys want to have all the fun themselves?- Nya asked.
-Ugh, tell me about it.- Eris responded.
“Oh my...that is kinda cute,” Fluttershy giggled a bit.
“There are a lot of these in the game, like if you put the Doctor in the car from Back to the Future, he’ll have a comment to make about it,” Timid informed as she set the Doctor in the DeLorean.
-I could save the universe three times over before this baby hits 88 miles an hour!- the Doctor proclaimed.
“Oh. Sugei,” Fluttershy awed a bit.
“Do you mind me playing this a little bit more so I can save and then we can do something else?” Timid asked.
“Sure, Timid-chan. I don’t mind,” Fluttershy smiled.
---
Timid soon finished the level and turned off the game. She let out a bit of a sigh, wiping a bit of sweat off her face.
“Mou...that was a frustrating level,” the pale blonde girl sighed, “Almost as annoying as the Joker boss fight.”
“So they took the Staff of Elements out of Ninjago… I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing…” Fluttershy stated with a bit of a shrug, “Anyhow… what do you wanna do? We can do whatever you want to make up for me not showing up earlier.”
“Oh...okay,” Timid nodded before pondering a bit, “Hmm...can we watch some anime?”
“Sure,” Fluttershy smiled as they headed up for Timid’s room, but not before the blonde ran back to pack up the figures for her game.
Silver Hawk watched the two go up the stairs, a small smile on his face. He remembered the day he first introduced Fluttershy too Timid.
---
“Hey Butterfly-chan,” Silver Hawk stated as he walked up to her, the pinkette currently doing her job at the animal shelter.
“Oh! S-silver-san. I...didn’t expect you to be coming here today,” Fluttershy spoke, blushing a bit.
“I did wanna help you as much as I can,” he smiled, “But… one small thing.”
“What’s that?”
“My parents said I had to watch my little sister today, no matter what. So… I brought her here,” Silver stated as he looked over at a corner, “Come out and say hi, Timid.”
“...A...ano…” a voice shyly began before Timid poked her head out, “H...hi.”
“Konichiwa,” Fluttershy smiled before the girl hid behind the corner once more, “Oh my. Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you.”
Timid slowly approached the pale pinkette, half her face hidden behind her hair as she nervously approached Fluttershy.
“Atashi Fluttershy. Omae wa?”
“...T...T….Timid Swallow,” the girl introduced herself in a shy manner.
“Nice to meet you, Timid-san,” Fluttershy giggled, “So… do you like animals?”
“H...h….hai,” Timid nervously nodded.
“Do you want to help us take care of them?”
“...Is...is that okay, onii-chan?” Timid asked her big brother, looking up at him for reassurance.
“It is,” Silver Hawk smiled, “And if you want, maybe I can get you a pet.”
“R...really?” Timid asked hopefully, earning a nod from her brother, “Y...yatta.”
---
Fluttershy and Timid arrived in Timid’s room, the young girl seeing two animals asleep on her bed, one being a pink-ish white cat, and the other being a small fox with a pure white tail.
“Have you been able to figure out what sort of cat Peaches is?” Timid asked.
“Nope. Gomen,” Fluttershy sighed.
“It’s okay,” Timid smiled, “Oh! What anime should we watch first?!”
“Hmm… your pick,” Fluttershy told her as they sat down on Timid’s bed.
“Okay,” Timid nodded as she turned her Tv on, and looked through the various animes and shows she saved up in her DVR, “Hmm...what to watch…”
“oh my. You’ve added quite a lot since I last saw you, timid-chan, “Fluttershy noted, looking at the many shows on the screen.
“Hai. I wanted to mix up a few things, so I decided to look around for any anime and shows we might like,” Timid replied, “...maybe something with ninja?”
“Hmm...alright,” Fluttershy nodded.
Timid giggled softly as she began to look, “Let’s see...Naruto? No no...the manga already ended, and the anime is still kinda going. Hmm…”
While Timid was looking, Fluttershy couldn’t help but look over at Yuki and Peaches, the two animals sleeping quietly as the curled up next to each other. Fluttershy remembered giving Timid Peaches after the day they first met while Yuki...was recent, a month or two ago tops.
---
“I wanna keep her!” Timid informed her parents as she held onto the young fox.
“Timid-chan, you know it’s not safe to keep an animal like that inside,” her father sighed.
“But tou-san, she’s only a kit! I promise I’ll take good care of her.”
“I can advise to it,” Fluttershy spoke up, “In fact, I can help Timid-chan raise her. I can get a few things from the vet, and make a makeshift home for Yuki to stay in.”
“...You promise to take extra good care of her?”
“Hai.”
“...I’m still a bit unsure…” he sighed.
Timid then looked to Yuki and choose to break out her ultimate weapon to get whatever she wanted: puppy eyes.
“...Timid...no. Don’t...oh…” her father winced, trying his best to not look at the adorable sight before him, “...Fine. You may keep her. But remember, she’s your responsibility. Understand?”
“Hai, tou-san,” Timid smiled.
---
“...Bad news, Onee-chan. Only ninja anime I have is Naruto… let’s pick something else. No offense, but I’m kinda getting bored of it…” Timid sighed.
“It’s fine, Timid-chan. I’ve... kinda outgrew it myself,” Fluttershy admitted, “I’ll still watch it from time to time. Heck, a costume choice me and your brother were considering was Naruto and Hinata.”
Timid just nodded and continued to look, “...Dragon Ball?”
“No,” Fluttershy responded, “I don’t get why that’s so loved. I really don’t.”
‘Oh...ok. Hmm...One Piece?”
“I’ve heard a lot of good things about that, but never took th3 chance to watch it,” Fluttershy admitted.
“Ahh...well it’s a long series, so we’ll put it on hold for now,” Timid said as she went back to the list, “Hmm...Pokemon?”
“I still love the games, but I grew out of the anime around Black and White.”
“I hear a lot of people say that. And my response, watch the X & Y seasons. They say it’s much better,” Timid stated.
“Noted,” Fluttershy smiled.
“...uh… Bakugan?”
“Maybe another time.”
“Oh...hmm...Digimon?”
“Maybe another time. I’ve been meaning to rewatch the series, but don’t have the time,” Fluttershy admitted.
“I’m kinda runnin’ out of stuff…” Timid admitted, “...uh… hmm… Kirby?”
“Ooh! Let’s watch that! I haven’t watched the Kirby anime in a long while!” Fluttershy giggled a bit.
“Okay,” Timid giggled as she played the first episode, “I love Kirby! He was in the very first video game I ever played, Keito no Kābii,”
“‘Yarn Kirby’? ...that’s Kirby’s Epic Yarn, right?”
“Ping-pong, ping-pong!” Timid giggled, “I really hope they make another one…”
“They sort of did,” Fluttershy informed.
“There’s an Epic Yarn 2?!”
“Iie. It’s Yoshi’s Woolly World.”
“...aww… why didn’t they make it a Kirby game?”
“It wasn’t even going to be a Kirby game in the first place,” Fluttershy informed.
“It wasn’t?”
“Nope. Remember Prince Fluff?”
“Yep,”
“It was originally going to be his game and titled ‘World of Fluff,’” Fluttershy explained before sighing a bit, “And he hasn’t appeared in any games since.”
“...I voted for him in the Smash Ballot…” Timid spoke up before Fluttershy pulled her into a hug, “So… why did they change it to a Kirby game?”
“Nintendo was worried it wouldn’t sell, so they requested an iconic character be the lead, and Kirby was picked,” Fluttershy explained as she let the pale blonde girl go, “The same thing happened with the first Smash Bros game for the N64. In fact, it wasn’t even going to have any Nintendo characters in it.”
“...really?”
“Hai,” Fluttershy nodded, “Sakurai presented an early beta of the game to the company, and they decided to help him out on it. Eventually, they decided to have Nintendo characters in it instead and...well, we got Smash Bros.”
“So… anyone you wanna see in the game besides Prince Fluff?” Timid inquired.
“Hmm...Shantae, Shovel Knight, Krystal, Tails, Lilac, and a few others,” Fluttershy replied.
“...we’re doing a bad job of watching an anime if we’re just talking over it…” Timid giggled.
“Hai,” Fluttershy giggled.
---
The two watched the anime a bit before changing their attention over to just talking.
“So… what’s something super valuable that you own and you will never part with as long as you live?” Timid asked Fluttershy.
“Issue 1 of the Sailor Moon manga, signed by franchise creator Naoko Takeuchi,” Fluttershy smiled, “What about you, Timid-chan?”
“I have a copy of Kirby’s Epic Yarn signed by Masahiro Sakurai and Satoru Iwata,” Timid smiled, “Hmm…Onee-chan, can I ask you something else?”
“Of course, Timid-chan.”
“...do you truly love Onii-chan?”
“...With all my heart,” Fluttershy smiled softly, placing her hands over her chest, “I owe everything to him… he was the one who helped me out of my depression… he was there when I woke up from my coma…”
---
“M….mm…” Fluttershy whimpered a bit as her eyes slowly began to open, the pinkette slowly noticing she was in a hospital room, “...I’m… alive? …No...why? Why am I…?”
At that, the door to the room opened up, revealing a certain ice-bluette, a doctor’s coat over his regular attire.
“She’s awake…” Silver quietly noted before clearing his throat a bit as he walked over to her, “Welcome back to the world of the living, miss. It’s nice to see you finally awa-”
“I should’ve died,” Fluttershy whispered, “I...I don’t belong in this world.”
Silver Hawk looked at her in surprise before gaining a serious expression, “Don’t ever say things like that.”
“E...eh?”
“Don’t ever say you don’t belong in this world,” Silver told her as he pulled up a chair and sat down, “Everyone has a right to live.”
“...Not if you’re someone as useless as me…’ Fluttershy whispered sadly.
“...What’s your name, miss?”
“Ehh?”
“I asked you what your name is.”
“...My friends call me Fluttershy, demo...my real name is Butterfly Misaki.”
“You’re Japanese. Then… you should know, those who take their own lives…” Silver Hawk began.
“Don’t go to heaven,” Fluttershy sighed.
“...Your parents are probably worried. Imagine what they would think about their poor little girl trying something like this,”
“...my parents are already up there.”
“Oh...I’m...I’m so sorry to hear that. But seriously...” Silver paused as he gently took her hand into his, “Do you think they’d be happy to see their daughter trying to kill herself?”
“...N...no.”
“Do you have any other family?” he asked.
“...my sister,”
“Soka...and her name?”
“Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy informed.
“...the rainbowette?”
“You’ve seen her?”
“She’s come here everyday since you arrived here,” Silver Hawk informed as he pointed to several bouquets of flowers, “She and your friends have been worried sick about you.”
“...” Fluttershy was silent for a moment as she saw the notes from her friends, “They...left all this for me?”
“Hai. It shows how much they really care about you,” Silver nodded, “And your big sister left a lot of presents,”
“Ara?” Fluttershy blinked as she saw several wrapped boxes, “Oh my...That’s a lot.”
“She loves you from what I can tell you,” he smiled as he looked at some of the gifts, “I don’t know what’s inside any of these, but I bet she spent quite a pretty penny on some of them.”
Fluttershy began to tear up, the shy pinkette starting to sniffle a little.
“Hey hey...there’s no need to cry,” Silver told her as he leaned in a bit, wiping some of the tears away from her face, causing the pinkette to blush a little.
“...omae wa?” Fluttershy inquired.
“Hmm?”
“Y...your name….wh...what is it?” Fluttershy asked, blushing a bit more.
“Oh. It’s Silver Hawk,” he smiled, “And again, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Butterfly-san.”
“...H...hai,” Fluttershy managed to squeak out, the pinkette blushing a bit further.
---
“Onee-chan? ...why are you crying?” Timid asked, snapping Fluttershy out of her memories.
“Eh? Wh..what do you mean?”
“Look…” Timid said, pointing to the tears in Fluttershy’s eyes, “You’ve started to cry a few seconds ago before I spoke up.”
Fluttershy rubbed her eyes, “G...gomen, Timid-chan. Just...recalling the day I first met your brother.”
“Oh...demo, why were you crying?” Timid asked.
“...I have no idea…” Fluttershy admitted, “I wish I had an answer for you, Timid-chan, btu I don’t.”
“Oh...okay, onee-chan,” Timid nodded a bit.
The pinkette just couldn’t explain her tears for even a minute. In fact, why was she even crying in the first place? Was it because Silver helped her out of her depression after she woke up? Was it because her friends cared for her so much?
“Onee-chan…” Timid began, catching the pinkette’s attention, “Are you sure you’re alright? You’ve been quiet for quite some time now.”
“Gomen gomen…” Fluttershy apologized, “I’ve just… well…”
“...Well what?”
“Well...I-” Fluttershy began before she began to feel a bit queazy.
“...O-onee-chan? D...daijoubu?” Timid asked in concern.
Fluttershy didn’t say anything as she shot up ran out and into the bathroom, her face a bit green as she quickly slammed the door shut.
“O-oh my!” Timid gasped a bit, “O-onii-chan! I-I think something’s wrong with Onee-chan!”
