She sees the wild rainbow mane, signature of her friend, and motions her to sit down under the shade of the chimney.
She sees too, the pale white shadow delicately sitting on the rim of the fountain, in the garden, and combing her mane.

Fluttershy finally sees someone in the distance. Discord has never been this late before.
Instead, it is Rainbow Dash, who escaped the arrangement with Zephyr nearly a year ago. Fluttershy could not blame her for doing so. She didn't like her brother's nature much either.
"I see a ghost", she explains again.
Rainbow shakes her head softly. "Zephyr doesn't care. He will murder Discord sometime. Please, for your own safety. You know who the ghost is."
It was the ghost of a women murdered by her jealous lover.
Fluttershy hums the notes of the folk song. The lovely poem, yet grim and dark, described the murder in excruciating detail. Her lover then plunged the dagger into himself, and ended his life after he realized what he had done. He had murdered the woman he loved.
Rainbow simply shook her head. "I wish you the best of luck. I hope that you work it out though. I can't stay either."
Fluttershy also knew why. Rainbow escaped the marriage. The marriage she loathed.
She waited again. Perhaps Discord would come soon. Perhaps. He was very late. She shivered in the dark gray dress. It was good for belinding in with the bleak roof of the manor, but good for little else.
But he never did.
A day later, she receives a letter that her trusted maid Zecora brings.
"Dear Fluttershy,
I must stay away for your brother has tightened security for a while. I will return with our rings and I will take you to my manor where we shall be wed. I promise you all happiness and comforts you will shall ever wish for.
Discord"
