//------------------------------// // Even the Heartless Have a Heart // Story: Amereep's Anthology of Flashfics // by Amereep //------------------------------// Blowing raspberries, imitating a motor, Flurry Heart glides through the cottage door with an exhausted Angel Bunny proceeding inside. Angel looks up at Fluttershy and Twilight, still chatting, oblivious to him or the filly they left unsupervised to nearly get eaten, poisoned, and lost in the Everfree Forest. He wants to lash out at them, scolding Twilight in particular for the trouble Flurry Heart gave him, but he can't find the energy for it, not after all the close calls Flurry had. Angel drags himself to his basket, kicking out a kakapo that preoccupied it. The bird's high-pitched screech broke Twilight and Fluttershy's conversation, watching the kakapo scuttling off as a tired Angel Bunny plops into the basket, "I've been meaning to ask, Fluttershy, why did you give that self-centered rabbit the name 'Angel'?" "He's selfish," Fluttershy sighs, forming a smile upon watching, "but he can also be a guardian angel."
