//------------------------------// // Dedication // Story: Life after Death // by Weisted Machine //------------------------------// Fluttershy pushed her way throught the jambles of clouds. Inside the den were rows o f many shelves supplying pony goods, and i the center of the room was a purple Pegasus, with a deeper purple eyes, matching her wavy light purple mane. "Hello dear, how can I help you?" She ask Fluttershy in a sweet voice that Fluttershy somewhat liked, but to her, something seems the slightest bit off. Fluttershy giggled nervously. "I'm feelining a bit anxious here, can you help me please?" Fluttershy asked the purple mare. Angel Wings purple gaze bore through Fluttershys soul. Oh how creeped out she felt. "Of course..." She said, not blinking once or tearing her eyes off of the shy Pegasus. "Ummm actully it's ok, I don't need help" Fluttershy turned to trot out of the den when Angel Wings called out to her. "Fluttershy" She said Fluttershy turned around to glance at her. "If it will make you feel any better, I can let you visit your living friends" She said. Fluttershys heart bursted with excitment. "Really? you can do that? Oh yes please" She said with warmth entering the smile she showed. Angel took out a white leaf, she broke it in half, giving one half to Fluttershy. "Eat this" she said as she began to chew on her own. Fluttershy poked it with a hoof before nibbling on it. The taste was bittersweet, it exploded with the taste of maple syrup but the after taste tasted of dry wood. Angel Wings lay a hoof on Fluttershy as the two began to fade... They appeared in a dark world, surrounded by stars and comets off all kind. The milky way painted the black sky splotched off white while the moon gave off a sweet glow. Fluttershys eyes beamed in wonder as she took in her surrounding. "Follow me" Angel Wings said, walking to single star shining alone in the night sky. Flutters noticed Angel Wings fur slathered with stars, and she could see right through the healer. She looked down at her coat, which was unmistakingly like Angels. As they apporached the star, Angel Wing stopped. "Touch the star to appear in Equestra, Fluttershy" she said. Hesitantly, Fluttershy took a step foreward to reach out to the star. It shone brightly as Fluttershy drew near, and it's twinkling reflected in her huge green eyes. With a hoof, she extended and touched it. The yellow mare glowed white before disappearing from the universe. "Oh Fluttershy... It's been awhile..." A famliar voice choked out with a sob. Fluttershy turned to see her friend, Rainbow Dash standing just above a cross. "R-R-Rainbow Dash?" She called out quietly. If Dash heard her, she ignored her. Rainbow Dash continued to weep at her grave, and just at the sight of the poor mare brok FLuttershys heart. Fluttershy trotted away from the graveyard in deppressed state. Rain began to pour from the sky onto the soul, searching for her friends. As she neared PonyVille, a dark shadow caught Fluttershys eye. A dull pink mare in a black cloak, hood over hung around in the shadows. Fluttershy approached the pony, and as she drew closer she saw that it was her best party friend, Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie?" Fluttershy called out. Pinkie Pie whipped around, her eyes red and swollen with wet tear marks running down her face. Her straight pink mane covered part of her face as she searched around. "WHOSE THERE?" Pinkie screamed. "Pinkie, it's me, Fluttershy" Fluttershy said, lost. Pinkie Pie sighed. "Leave me alone, who ever is there" Pinkie said before turning away again. As Fluttershy backed away to give her friend peace, she heard Pinkie quietly say something. "Oh Fluttershy, why did fate take you away?" Pinkie said sadly. "Pinkie, don't talk like that, I'm here with you right now" Fluttershy said, taking in a step to the pink mare. But Pinkie Pie turned away. "I said LEAVE ME ALONE, AND I'M PINKAMENA, NOT PINKIE. FOR YOUR BUCKING INFORMATION, I'M GRIEVING ON MY DEAD FRIEND FLUTTERSHYyyyy" Pinkie--mena then fell to her knees. "Please, anypony that's there, I need some space... Please.." Fluttershy was crying herself at Pinkamenas state. The sound of hoofs clopping with the ground made Fluttershy turn around. There, she saw Twilight, Rarity and Applejack, walking slowly together to Twilights Library. "TWILIGHT, RARITY, APPLEJACK" Fluttershy cried over to the remaining 3 friends she hadn't visited. Twilights head snapped up. "F-F-Fluttershy?" Twilight asked in a shaky voice. "Yes, It's me" Fluttershy, skidding to a halt right in front of Twilights face. "Oh Fluttershy" Twilight said, wrapping a hoof around her. "Uh, Suga cube are ya'll right?" Twilight looked back at Applejack, with her smile grinning from ear to ear. "HOW CAN I NOT? FLUTTERSHY RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!!" Twilight screamed. "Hush Twilight, theres nopony in front of you. I think Fluttershys death got ye all shuddered up, ya need teh go rest honey" Applejack said as she began to haul Twilight away. "And it is VERY unlady like to be screeching like that Twilight" Rarity added. "No! Wait! FLUTTERSHY! PROVE TO THEM YOU'RE HERE!" Fluttershy called out again. "How!?" Fluttershy sort-of-yelled. But by now, Twilight Sparkle was in the library. ------ Vinyl was sitting on a mossy log where she met Fluttershy yesterday. It's been 5 min and Fluttershy STILL wasn't here. Vinyl was so bored, she began to count the trees. After the 8th one, a voice called from behind her. "Vinyl?" Vinyl turned around to see Fluttershy approaching. Her pink mane was a mess and her eyes were red, as though she had been crying. Instantly, her annoyance with her secret love was gone. "Aw, what happened dear?" Vinyl asked. Normally, shes not the unicorn to call others 'dear' but with Fluttershy, she can make an exception. "I went to visit my friends, but none of them talked to me except my friend Twilight Sparkle..." Fluttershy said quietly, so quiet, Vinyl had to strain her ears to hear what the yellow mare was saying. "Aww.." Vinyl said "Let me make you feel better" Vinyl said as she drew near Fluttershy. Vinyl planted a small kiss on Fluttershys neck. Fluttershy giggled a bit. Vinyl began kiss harder, moving over to Fluttershys lips. The white unicorn gently pushed Fluttershy on her back and hopped onto her stomach. Fluttershys eyes grew back as she flung to her hooves. She knew where this was going, and she didn't like it. Fluttershy slipped under Vinyls weight and back to her hooves. Vinyl looked offended. "What's wrong?" Vinyl asked with embarresment. "I-I'm sorry but I don't think I can do that!" Fluttershy squeaked. "Oh.. it's fine. Sorry.. But truth is.." Vinyl began "I LOVE YOU!" the unicorn screamed The yellow Pegasus blinked her eyes. "Um.. truth is, me too. I love you too" Fluttershy said. Vinyl then, exploded with happiness
