Why me?

by Miner


WHY!

Pain that's all that I am feeling right now. I can feel it from the top of my brain to the bottom of my hooves. What happened? All I remember was talking to the Princess about humans and then nothing. But obviously, something did happen around that time because whatever I am lying on now isn’t a bed. It is cold smooth, and ruff and I can’t see anything. Why can’t I just do one thing without something else happening right in the middle of it? Wait something's on my face and stomach, oh and now I can feel something moving on top of me. Oh, please don’t let it be a giant bug!

“Ugh.” Oh yes, it’s not a bug! Wait a minute, somepony is on top of me. “Huh? I am alive. I am alive!” Wait that sounds like Exclusive. “Ground oh how I miss you!” I can hear the sounds of kissing. Which would be so bad. If I weren’t also feeling them on my belly!

“HAY! KNOCK IT OFF!” Oh, great I am blushing again. Can’t I wake up without him near me or something? As soon as he got off me, I could see again I could now conclude that it was indeed Exclusive kissing my belly. He looks so cute looking like a tomato… wait.

"Why are the filly’s trio here," I said noticing that they were with us, and Sweetie Belle was the one covering my eyes earlier. "Why are they…correction why are we covered in dirt and random debris?” Noticing myself and Exclusive condition, “And, where are we?" I looked around for a bit until I could see a familiar town. “Say. Isn’t that Pony Ville, way down there….” Something's wrong here. Why are we on a mountain?

“Yes, it is. Well, what’s left of it.” Apple Bloom said scratching her head.

She's not kidding. I can see the destruction from here. And there goes a house.

Backing up from the view I turn to the others. “Well then. Can somepony tell me what happened?”

“Oh, that’s right,” Sweetie Belle spoke up, “You were out the whole time.”

Applebloom looks confused, “But shouldn’t you know something? I mean, after all, it all started from your room.”

“What do you mean it started from my room? All I remember was talking to the princess and then waking up here. And why do I hurt all over?” I rub my shoulder, “What happened? And how did we all get here?

“Well, all I know is that it all started at the hospital.” Said, Sweetie Belle.

"You said that already." I deadpanned. “Tell me something that I don’t know.”

“Well, we were in town before Rainbow brought u... wait where is she!?” Exclusive said looking around.

“Over here guys she’s over here!” said Scootaloo.

We made our way over to where Scootaloo was pointing and could see Rainbow unconscious near a cave entrance. Oh, please don’t let this land have dragons. I hate dragons. They always kill me in those R.P.G.’s games. I am not looking forward to dealing with one I.R.L.

“Is she ok?” I said keeping an eye on the cave.

“I am not sure. I am no doctor, but I think she is just asleep.” Exclusive said while giving her a look over.

“Well, that’s a…”

We then heard a loud voice coming from Pony Ville. It was so loud it sounded like somepony was yelling next to us.

“YOU WILL LOVE ME!”

A shiver down all our spines after that, “Huh!” I turn to face the town before looking back at the other, “Was that Fluttershy!? OK, what did I miss? How long was I out?” I don’t know why, but I am scared. I can feel her rage from here. It feels as if she's out to get me!

“I might be able to shed some light on that.” Said Exclusive taking Rainbow inside the cave and putting her down near a wall.

“Well? What are you waiting for? Start talking!” I said following him and lying down next to the fillies. Oh, my everything. I shouldn’t be here right now; I should be in my comfy bed talking to the princess to find a way home. I just can’t wait to hear what happened this time.


Three hours ago, Exclusive's point of view

I left my house that morning to head on over to Zecora’s place to receive the mane regrow potion for Jessica.

Sweetie Belle asked, “Why did something happen to her mane? It looks fine to me.”

“Moving on!”

After I got the potion, I stopped by Sugar Cube Corner to order my usual. However, I had forgotten who else would be there when I walked through the front door.

“Hi Exclusive.” The hyperactive pink mare of doom herself Pinkie Pie.

“Ah! Pinkie!” Like always she appeared out of nowhere freighting me, but it didn’t stop there.

“Hi Exclusive.” Her cousin was in town.

“Wait, so what is wrong with that?” Jessica asked confused “It is just her cousin.”

Exclusive shakes his head slowly, “Berry is just as troublesome as Pinkie is.”

“Really? I find that hard to believe.”

“Anyways…”

“Ah! Berry, not you too! How many times do I …Wait a minute, what are you two up to?” I said eyeing them suspiciously.

“What do you mean?” Pinkie smiled innocently,

“Now don’t try and play innocent with me Pinkie. Whenever you two are together. You're up to something. Which is a Fact!”

“Oh, come on Exclusive. You're just overreacting!” Berry said,

“Oh really; must I remind you about the bathroom incident three weeks ago?”

“Oh, come on Dude that was not on purpose!” said Berry,

“Twilight hasn’t even looked at me since she saw me coming out of there!”

“Hay we said we were sorry it was supposed to be Sweetie Belle that saw you.”

“And that supposed to make me feel any better now?”

“Alright enough you two. But I was wondering Exclusive did you get some…”

“Hay, Exclusive how is this relevant?” asked Jessica,

“Sorry about that. Let me skip ahead a little.”

It was about thirty minutes before we got here. I have just saved most of my house and was making my way back to your room at the hospital. I was outside your room, and I could hear you talking to Twilight. When suddenly from inside the same room. I could hear the voice of a loud unhappy mare.

“WHY CAN’T I FIND SOMEPONY TO LOVE ME!” then there was a loud clang of something metal along with a scream. Rushing into the room I could see Fluttershy standing on her hind legs with her forelegs stretched above her head yelling into the heavens. I found Twilight clinging to the ceiling like the time she got scared by snakes, and as for you while you were unconscious with a bedpan near your head. Just be glad it was empty. That was when Fluttershy noticed me by the door scaring me with a mean look in her eye.

“YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE ME!” she said as she lungs at me.

I duck under her as she flies out of the room, and I close the door behind her. I then braced myself against the door once she started pounding on it. I then turn my attention towards the batty mare in the room.

“Twilight what is going on?!” I shouted towards her as Fluttershy continued to get the door open.

“I am not sure. One second I was talking to Jessica and the next she was unconscious with Fluttershy acting up for no reason.” She said coming down from the ceiling.

“LET ME IN!” Shouted Fluttershy.

“Not going to happen Miss Shy. Twilight what are we going to do about this?”

“I don’t know Exclusive. I just need some time to figure something out!”

I was having a hard time holding the door closed when all of a sudden it stopped. I got so confused by this that was until I could hear something flapping away.

Looking towards Twilight in disbelief, “There is no way that could have calmed her down.”

She then gasps, “The window!”

I rushed over to the window to hold it shut but was too late because she was already inside the room. She smiles at me with a predatory grin as I quickly back away from her. I only stopped when I ran into your bedside. Scared for my life; I was looking for any way out of that room. As I tried to reason with her, “Now Fluttershy, let’s talk about this for a moment.” She then slowly starts walking towards me. “We are both adults here I'm pretty sure we can come to an agreement that doesn’t involve any of us getting hurt,” I said shaking a leaf.

She lowers her eyes as she smiles at me sweetly, “Oh, you won’t get any trouble from me. Just some little T.L.C. Once I take you back home.”

“She said that!” Jessica said,

“Hay you are ruining the story!” The trio said hushing her up.

“Fluttershy stop this!” Twilight said taking a stand against her friend and moving in between us, stopping her advancement towards me. “This isn’t like you Fluttershy. Something is wrong with you, if you just let me help you, I can fix this.” She pleaded with her.

Fluttershy stops for a moment before touching her chin with a hoof in thought, “You know you're right; something is wrong Twilight.” She said getting next to her friend, before whispering in her ear. “You’re in my way.” Twilight didn’t know what hit her before it was too late. Out like a light, Twilight fell to the floor as Fluttershy turned her attention towards me again. “Now then.” She started walking towards me again as I backed away from her.

“Now, Now Fluttershy let’s not do something either one of us will regret later.” I then noticed that I had backed myself into a corner.

“Why didn’t you leave the room? Or use your magic?" Jessica asked.

“I was terrified ok. I wasn’t thinking straight. And stop interrupting!”

"Don’t worry I will take good care of you.” She said closing in for a kiss,

“A WHAT!” Everypony shouted.

Just before she could a voice came from the window, “Hey did you guys hear that shout just now!”

This causes Fluttershy to stop and look. We both could see Rainbow halfway inside the window. Her excitement was replaced with worry as she looked at us funny. “And what are you two doing?”

“Help me; Fluttershy has gone nuts,” I told Rainbow as I used her sudden arrival to leave the corner.

“Only Nuts over you. My Shmoopy-doopy.”

“What in the world is a Shmoopy-doopy!?” Jessica asked,

Rainbow looks at her friends confused, “What the hay did I miss here?”

“Now is not the time to be asking questions right now Rainbow.” Exclusive was fending off Fluttershy with a chair, “Now’s the time for action.”

“Yes, indeed my Kissy-Wissy Snuggy-Wuggy sugar bear.” Said Fluttershy with as much of her love as she could put into her voice. As she smacks the chair away before closing in on me.

“Gauh,” the cutie mark crusaders said as they stuck their tongues out.

“What is she even saying?” Jessica said scratching her head.

Sweat was going down my face as she got closer to me, “Ok, Fluttershy there are a few things wrong with that. One, I have no idea what you just said. Two, I am scared out of my life right now because of you, and three my Snuggy- sugar girl is currently knocked out.”

“WHAT!” Jessica shouted at me blushing.

“Can I please continue with my story without any more interruptions?”

I felt proud of what I said but then I realized I had just dun goofed by telling her that. For now, she has turned her attention toward Jessica with hatred and envy in her eyes.

“Oh, I am sure she won’t mind. If she does not know.” She said as she took a bedpan in her hoof. “ever.”

I then get between her and you.

“Now I know what you’re thinking Fluttershy, and I am going to tell you this. That is not going to happen while I am around.” I said putting my hoof on her chest to keep her away. Then I heard a battle cry.

“YYEEEAAAHHH!” Rainbow tackled Fluttershy and is wrestling with her.

“Get her out of here! I don’t know how long I can hold her!” Rainbow said while holding Fluttershy in a headlock.

“On it,” I said making my way to Jessica lifting her out of the bed with my magic.

“And why didn’t you use it on Fluttershy?” Jessica asked.

“I was panicking I forgot ok! Stop making me repeat myself.”

Anyway, I got us out of the hospital running as fast as I could before I ran into something. Or more like they ran into me causing me to drop you in the process.

“Now that I think about it. Why were you girls going that fast in the fast place anyways?”

“We were going to Sugar Cube Corner for their sale on cookies. Two dozen for four bits, we couldn’t have passed that up.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Anyway! What happens next?” asked Jessica,

“Oh…. What happened?” Applebloom said on top of Scootaloo, with her scooter nearby along with a tip over the wagon.

“My head.” Sweetie Belle had landed safely on Jessica, but Jessica had landed on me.

Once I regained my bearings, I lifted both of you off me, and put Sweetie Belle next to her friends, while I kept Jessica next to me. “Girls you need to get to safety now. It is not safe here Fluttershy’s…” I tried to warn them but was interrupted by a very familiar creepy voice.

“Fluttershy’s is looking for her Shmoopy-doo.” She said next to me causing me to jump away from her.

“Oh, no! Not again!” Applebloom exclaimed,

“Wait this has happened before!? What’s going on then?” Jessica asked,

“She was acting just like somepony under the effect of a love curse,” Scootaloo stated.

“OK, two things. One why would somepony make a love curse in the first place? And two, how do you three know what somepony would look and act like if they are under its influence.”

“We'll tell you later.” Applebloom quickly replied.

The girls and I did our best to keep away from Fluttershy, hiding everywhere, from closets to trash cans, but nothing worked. She wasn’t even letting the townsfolk or buildings get in her way. There was so much chaos and destruction that I thought Discord was the one causing it.”

“Who”

“Jessica not now!”

As we continued to run for our lives, we then found Rainbow in a trash can headfirst. Once we had freed her we asked her to fly us out of town, but then Fluttershy found us again. Rainbow was getting ready to face her again, but then a magical purple beam hit Fluttershy followed by a ‘sorry’.

Twilight had woken up and was now confronting Fluttershy. Rainbow used that opportunity to get us out of there. However, she didn’t have a good hold on all of us and Sweetie Belle was thrashing all over the place, which caused Rainbow to lose control and crash into a cloud and the rest is history.


Jessica's point of view.

“Now that is quite the tale,” I said taking it all in. “But what are we going to do about Fluttershy now?”

“Wait I see her! She is heading this way!” Scootaloo called out from the cave entrance.

“Not good!” Applebloom said before panicking.

“We need more time.” Sweetie Belle before joining her friend.

“How did she get away from Twilight?” Exclusive said looking around for a place to hide.

“Ugh, what’s going on?” Rainbow said as Scootaloo ran over to her.

“Oh, great now she wakes up. No time to explain, just help us hide Exclusive Rainbow.” I then turned to the screaming fillies. “You girls follow our lead.” With no big rocks or dirt to hide behind, we did the next best thing I could think of. We all made a big pile of ponies in the farthest part of the cave to cover Exclusive and waited for Fluttershy’s arrival.
