//------------------------------// // Finding The Diary // Story: Fluttershy's Dark Past // by DreamAttacker //------------------------------// Twilight sparkle was wandering around her library. Something was bugging her and she didn’t know what it was. It was almost like something was pulling her and scratching at the back of her mind. So she decided the answer to her odd feeling would be in a book somewhere. “Spike, can you get me a book on ‘Weird Feelings’ please” she said looking around for Spike. He came round the corner rubbing his eyes and yawning. Nodding at her he walked away and up his ladder before scanning the books and grabbing one. He came back to her and she lifted it from him with her magic and put it down on her reading stand. “Ok, ok… the feeling to do something important” said Twilight Sparkle as she skimmed the index. Finally she found it and opened the page she needed. “If you have an odd feeling like something needs to be done or doesn’t feel right it had probably come from gut instinct. To get rid of this feeling go to where you feel yo need to go, once you have found where you need to be look for anything that might spike your memory” Twilight sighed in irritation but closed the book. She asked Spike if there were any other books on what she needed. He looked one more time before shaking his head. So following the books advice Twilight walked out of her house and followed the odd feeling. On her way to trying to find the place she needed to go she ran into Pinkie Pie, “Hey Pinkie where are you off to??” Twilight asked her, she should be at her job but instead she was walking around like she had lost something. Pinkie smiled at Twilight before saying in her normal hyper self. “Well I was at my job, but then I felt like I needed to do something important so I went outside, and here I am!!” she says and grins at Twilight. Nodding to her friend Twilight suggested they look together because she also has a weird feeling. So with Pinkie hopping alongside Twilight they walked down the road to somewhere that may help them gets rid of their feeling. ~~~~ “Hey Fluttershy” Pinkie said as they walked past Fluttershy with a trail of ducks behind her. Fluttershy smiled to them before replying with a quiet hi and carrying on with her business. Though what those two didn’t see was Fluttershy giving them a very suspicious glare of some sorts. ~~~~ Finally they reached an area that made them feel like they were at the right spot. “But Twilight this is Fluttershy’s back garden” Pinkie says confused and tilts her head to the side. “I know but…” Twilight says before she activates something like Rarity’s diamond finding spell. She scanned the ground and felt something deep under the soil buried away. “Pinkie do you think you could dig here please??” Twilight asks her, Pinkie grins before saying it will be a breeze. She spins around and digs down like a machine. For a while Twilight stare down at the deep hole Pinkie has made, but after a while she comes back covered in dirt. “Hey I found this book!!” she says and throws up an old and dusty book. Twilight takes it away from the hole as Pinkie fills it back up. She opens the pages and finds out that it seems to be something like a diary: Help! I don’t know how much longer I have in this town. She has gone crazy and won’t stop until we have all gone. I need to find somewhere to hide this… but no doubt she will easily find it. I bet that girl won’t stop until every piece of her existence has been destroyed or hidden. Hopefully if someone finds this then they can maybe prevent the same fate as my village… Soon it will be all over ~Soaring Cloud Twilight closed the book with fear and Pinkie finished filling the hole up, “Oh hey Fluttershy” Pinkie says and smiles, Twilight slowly turn around and quickly replaces her face of fear with happiness. Without Fluttershy seeing her, Twilight quickly teleports the book back to her library. “Hello Pinkie and Twilight, what are you doing here??” Fluttershy asks with her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. Pinkie was about to say something when Twilight interrupted her. “We wanted to see if we could try and make friends with the animals like you could” Twilight says before trotting up to a chicken. It instantly clucks at her before running away and Twilight sighs before walking back to them. Fluttershy laughs quietly before asking them if they could leave. “It’s not like I don’t want you to be here, oh no. but I have a lot to do right now” Fluttershy says almost pushing them away from her house. Both of the ponies try asking her what she’s doing but she has already flown away back to her house. “Twilight why did you cut me off??” Pinkie asks when they get far enough away. Twilight looks to her before saying, “Pinkie you need to promise me that you won’t tell Fluttershy that we have that book” she says almost desperately. Pinkie could see the worry in her voice before laughing and going, “I promise, cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye” she states doing the actions that go along with it. Twilight smiles before nodding to Pinkie and running home to try and make out the rest of that diary. ~~~~ “Twilight what is this book you sent back here??” Spike asked her and she ran into the library. “I don’t know Spike, but all I know is that this book is trying to warn me of something weird to do with Fluttershy” Twilight says before opening the book. She was about to read it when someone knocked at her door. So she closed the book and hid it under her bed before trotting to the door and opening it. “Oh… hello Fluttershy”
