//------------------------------// // May 16 // Story: Blood Red Roses // by totallynotabrony //------------------------------// Last night, I had a dream that I wasn't myself. I can barely remember it, but I think I was a wolf. I sort of have an image of looking down and seeing paws. It wasn't really a bad dream. In fact I only thought it was weird when I woke up. They say Princess Luna guards the dreams of ponies. Did Princess Luna see my dream? What would she think if she did? Suddenly I'm worried again. I like to think Princess Luna would be sympathetic, but what if she wasn't? Good thing I don't sleep much anymore. doz daisies-Sprinkles bunch daffodil-Draft Ale bunch daffodil-Craft Ale morning glory starter-Sakura Sunshine 3 pink tulips-Redheart assorted bulbs-Drifter marigold tray-Carrot Top half doz white orchid-Junebug meadow sampler-Darren 1 petunia-Maxine 9 I saw Sakura Sunshine again today. Pinkie never found her and threw her a party, so maybe she's just visiting. Or a ninja, ha. I really hope Pinkie doesn't throw werewolf parties. 1 Lamplight came by and bought his single white rose, though not from me. He didn't even look at me. Good-but then what was he doing at the flower stand? If he involves Daisy and Lily in this I'm going to 2 Darren the deer stopped by. We chatted for a little while. He told me about a meadow in the woods where a huge variety of flowers grow. 4 I keep thinking about that place Darren was talking about. He really played it up. If it's even half as good as he made it out to be, it would still be cute to see. It's still light out. 9 I don't even know where to start. I went to the meadow. It really was beautiful. On the way back I stayed for a few minutes, but wanted to get back before dark. On the way back, I found Junebug. She looked like she'd forgotten how to stand. I went over, but then I saw the blood. She was stabbed. I ran. Oh Celestia, I never knew what blood smelled like before. I can't believe I didn't throw up. Am I terrible? While I was running back, I couldn't stop thinking about me. Being exposed. It was all I could think of. There would be questions if I reported the body. But I eventually decided that I had a perfectly reasonable explanation for being in the woods, one that Daisy and Lily could back up. They'd been there when I was talking with Darren. So when I got back to town, I went straight to the castle. I'm sorry, Princess Twilight. Nopony should have to deal with a murder, but I couldn't think of anypony else who would know what to do. I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
