Know your Mare - overlord-flinx



It's silly, it's pointless, and it makes little to no sense... I've heard of worse story ideas.

ROUND 2: Fluttershy

Know your mare, know your mare, know your mare...

Worry didn't even begin to describe the frigid terror that was across the meek ponies body as the voice she remembered was followed by two new ones.

Fluttershy...

"Eep..."

...Let's be straight here...

"Wh-what?"

...I'm sorry for how harsh I was to you...

"Y-you are?"

Yes...

"Y-y-you're not trying to trick me... a-are you?"

I swear to Celestia...

"O-Oh... that's--"

So...

...I'll let my new friend do this for me while me and No-Beard here go get some pie...

I'm getting a blue berry one...

"....W-Who's your friend?"

Me...

"I-I'm not afraid..."

No...

Not yet...

Suddenly, the light flickered out and was replaced by a thick red spot light fixed on Fluttershy's position.

Fluttershy...

...Is oblivious to the truth...

"W-What truth?"

Glad you asked...

Rainbow Dash…

…Is embarrassed of her relationship with Fluttershy…

“Of course."

"She was probably under pressure... I know the feeling..."

Hmmm...

...Yes...

Fluttershy...

...Is afraid of the dark...

"A little... B-but--"

So you wouldn't mind if I turned out the light...?

"I--"

So are you lying...?

"No. I just--"

Ah...

So...

Fluttershy...

...Is the biggest liar in Equestria...

"No! Fine, turn out the light. I'll show you I'm not afraid."

...Gladly...

Just like that, the single red light narrowed away onto Fluttershy before finally disappearing altogether, leaving the mare alone in the dark with an echoing voice.

Fluttershy...

...puts on a brave face...

"I-I-I am brave."

Flu-Flu-Flu-Fluttershy...

...can't sh-sh-show her brave face through all her tears...

"I'm not crying, and stop making fun of me..."

Or what...?

You'll cry...?

"I'm not afraid... I'm not afraid... Rainbow Dash said you can't hurt me..."

Fluttershy...

...needs to cry to Rainbow Dash when things get to hard for her...

"Everypony needs somepony sometimes... I bet you need help yourself."

I'm here alone...

...And I'm already destroying you...

"Alone? But you told those two to leave."

Yes...

... Because I don't need help...

"Because you don't need it, or because you can't bring yourself to ask for it?"

It doesn't matter...

Fluttershy--

"It does matter. If you're alone, you can ask for help."

Silence yourself...

...This is the hour of the voice's revenge...

"Then shouldn't he be here?"

I see no difference...

...If you go out of here a broken mare, it won't make a difference who did it...

"But if it's his problem, why are you solving it?"

...Fluttershy--

"I don't want to be rude and interrupt, but it sorta sounds like you have your own problem here."

Fluttershy--

"If you have a problem, you should go at it head on."

SILENCE!

The room was once again lit up, only this time it wasn't from the lights or anything over head. Fluttershy's appearance flickered against the circle of sickly green fire around her.

I don't have a problem!

I...

Am...

Done.

You're done...

This isn't the show I agreed on you being a part of...

Now let this poor mare go...

...Fine...

The flickering fires died and the regular spot light remained.

Now go little one...

"Thank you very much..." Fluttershy gave a little bow before darting off.

From now on...

The little one is in charge of you...

...Very well...


...This stinks...

No disagreement here...

I mean...

What sort of pony eats an entire supply of pies...

I blame the economy...

What's an economy...?

Something run by a grim dictator...

Now eat your Riceicle...
