"I don't know dear," said her mother who had a cream colored complexion with purple glasses over a pair of magenta eyes that matched her hair, she also had a yellow pearl necklace around her neck. The doctor could not hold back a sad face as he came into the waiting room "I'm sorry, we did the best we could, but I'm afraid your husband will die within the next few minutes, now is the opportunity to say goodbye" The child and her mother ran into the room kneeling beside a light green man with the same eyes as his daughter's, he had even lighter pink hair than his daughter's he also had a mustache that was the same color, and he wore a hospital gown. "Fluttershy?" he said weakly, The young girl embraced her dying father crying, "Daddy" she said through sobs "Daddy's fine sweetheart," he said before coughing horribly. Fluttershy embraced him tighter, "Fluttershy, there's something I want you to promise me before I go" "Anything," she said holding his hand in hers "Please, take care of your mother, and be good for me, okay?" Fluttershy nodded, still crying. "That's my big girl," he said before giving her a kiss on the cheek, Fluttershy and her mother embraced him when the sonogram started beeping slower. "Goodbye, we love you" whispered her mother, "Goodbye," he whispered back when suddenly, the sonogram's frequency line went flat and there was a loud beep that seemed to go on and on forever until finally, it stopped.Fluttershy turned to her mother in cried in her arms, her mother embraced her crying as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten years later, Fluttershy was in the waiting room, this time, alone.She was hoping this was a dream and she would soon wake up, but she pinched herself countless times and it did her no good.A nurse walked up to her with a sad look on her face "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid she will die in a few minutes, we did the best we could," she said putting a hand on her shoulder Fluttershy thanked her and ran into the room, she saw her mother there on the bed, she kneeled beside it and looked down, "Fluttershy?" asked her mother holding out her hand "Yes?" Fluttershy answered, taking her mother's hand "Before I go, promise me, that no matter what, have kindness, courage, and hope, please" "Of course" Her mother then gave her a present, Fluttershy took off the lid, inside was a beautiful little box, Fluttershy opened it, then a little tune played, Fluttershy gasped, it was the music box that her mother and father used as a lullaby to put her to sleep every night, Fluttershy couldn't hold back the tears any longer.As she cried and embraced her mother her mother then put her hand on her daughter's cheek. "Beautiful, strong, my sweet sweet Fluttershy" then her hand dropped, the sonogram let out a long beep before it stopped Fluttershy whispered"Goodbye" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy sat in a chair in an office until she was given her family's will, it said "We leave every penny we ever owned to our lovely daughter Fluttershy, who we will love forever" Fluttershy took the paper in her hands, thanked the lady and left to go home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy was in her room, petting her pet bunny Angel, who nuzzled her, he could tell that she was sad, Fluttershy smiled a bit, Angel bunny was often stubborn, and bossy, and hated to be told what to do, but he still loved Fluttershy, (although at times he would never admit it). "Angel, I think it's time to start packing," she said Angel nodded and jumped off the bed, he pulled out her suitcase Fluttershy got off of the bed as well she took her clothes out of her wardrobe, she gathered up all her snacks for angel and her for the trip, she had packed her movies, her books, her blanket, and pillows, her hygiene products, her makeup, and lastly, the music box her mother gave her yesterday, she was all packed and ready to go. except for one thing; Angel, "Angel, I'm sorry but you have to go in your pet carrier, the airport doesn't allow animals to run free" said Fluttershy with a frown. Angel folded his arms and looked away with an annoyed expression. "I'll give you five carrots for dinner", she bribed he did nothing "Pretty please?" she pleaded he did nothing. Fluttershy sighed in defeat and sat on her bed, thinking about what to do, Angel looked over at her eyes, no one could resist them when they were sad, he sighed and hopped over to his pet carrier "The things I do for this girl" he thought as he slipped inside Fluttershy smiled and said "Thank you, Angel" Angel rolled his eyes while closing the carrier door and squeaked Yeah, yeah, I love you too, now come on!!" Fluttershy nodded, as picked up her suitcase, and the pet carrier and went out the door, she was finally at the airport, after she got in, she looked around for her plane, she found it in the middle, a voice called over the P.A; "The plane to Las Vegas will be leaving in five mintutes" "Oh no" whimpered Fluttershy, she ran towards the plane, she got on just in time. "The plane to Las Vegas is now taking off, passengers please stay in your seats until the flight is over, thank you", a few seconds later, the plane took off.
