Dante busted through the door to find Fluttershy on the floor, surrounded by a dried pool of something that looked like blood.
"Fluttershy!" Dante yelled as he ran towards her to find she was still breathing. "I have to get you to a hospital." Dante told Fluttershy, as if she was listening. He lifted her on to his back and began his long trip to Ponyville Urgent Care.

"Please Nurse Tenderheart, I need to see her." Dante pleaded to the young nurse.
"I'm sorry Mr. Wings but no one is allowed past this door except family of the patient. You're gonna have to sit in the waiting room."
"I'm her coltfriend, isn't that enough?"
"I'm sorry but you're going to have stay here."
"Please Tenderheart, I have to see here."
"Nurse Tenderheart, where is she!?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
"Ms. Dash, you're gonna have to stay in the waiting room."
"Like hay I am!"
"This area is for family members only."
"I'm the only family she has. We're practically sisters."
"Ms. Dash I don't..."
"Tenderheart, let them through." Nurse Redheart ordered as she walked through the ER doors.
"Are you sure Nurse Redheart?"
"I've known these three since I was in middle school. Out of anypony in Equstria I would think would worry about Fluttershy, it would be these two."
"Thank you Redheart." Dante said as he walked pass the white coated mare.
"Dante." Redheart called.
"Yes Redheart?" he replied.
"I think I should tell you, Fluttershy is fine."
"Then what was all the red on her?"
"That I'm not sure of but I'm certain it wasn't any type of blood. And if you can, keep it quiet for the other patients." Redheart asked politely.
"Will do." Dante answered leaving the nurse to do her job. Dante then caught up with Rainbow Dash at the door. They both walked in together to find Fluttershy attached to a machine that keep track of her heart rate, which had a steady rhythm. "She's still asleep." Dante uttered.
"Dante." Dash said.
"Yes Rainbow?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For bringing her here. I can't think what I would do if I ever lost Fluttershy." Dash muttered quietly.
"There's no reason to even think of things like that. She wouldn't wanting to think like that if she was awake."
"I guess your right." Dash replied as she took a seat next to Fluttershy. Dante soon took a set next to the multi-colored mare.
"When do you think she's gonna wake up?" Dante asked.
"How am I supposed to know? I'm an athlete, not a doctor." Dash said jokingly.
"I guess you're right." Dante muttered as he turned his attention to the sleeping mare he cared for deeply.

The rest of the day the rest of Fluttershy's friends came to check on her.
"I'm sorry everypony but visiting hours are over, I have to ask you all to head home." Nurse Redheart said as she walked into the room. Everypony went ahead and complied to the nurse's orders leaving just Redheart, Dante and Fluttershy. "That means you too Dante." Redheart muttered.
"I'm not leaving her alone." Dante firmly replied.
"Are you sure about that?" Redheart asked with a serious expression.
"Yes."
"Good," Redheart replied with a smile across her face. "because if you weren't I'm sure that Fluttershy would've been disappointed that you weren't here to keep her company."
"I don't want to disappoint my fillyfriend." Dante joked around.
"But she isn't your fillyfriend, Dante. Remember she broke off your relationship when she saw you with Scarlet." Redheart said as she took a seat next to him.
"How did you know about that?"
"Even though the town has grown since you left, its still a small town." Dante didn't reply to Redheart's remark, he just gave the tile floor an undeserved amount of attention. "Dante what's wrong?"
"I'm leaving." he replied.
"Why are you leaving? Aren't you going to keep Fluttershy company?"
"Why? So I can keep lying to myself?" Dante replied standing at the door. "It just dawned on me Redheart. The reason my relationship with her is like this is because fate never wanted us to be together."
"Dante, you can't seriously believe that. If anything, the both of you are destined for each other." Nurse Redheart said in a worried and reassuring tone.
"I'm sorry but I can't believe that. Not after this." Dante said. Soon after he left the hospital.
Redheart looked over to Fluttershy's sleeping body. "Please Fluttershy, wake up and go talk some sense into that stallion of yours before he does something he regrets." Redheart soon clocked out and walked home.

When Dante got home the first thing he did was land on his back after jumping on the couch. "Huh?" he muttered as he pulled out a letter that was tucked under his wing. He remembered it was the urgent letter Ditzy delivered to him in the morning. Dante quickly looked it over then he left it on the coffee table, thinking to himself that he'll read it in the morning. Without thinking Dante made his way upstairs and into his room then on his bed. Only a few seconds later he was unconscious.
_____________________________________________________________________
'And I'm back here.' Dante thought.
"Wake up!" cried out a familiar feminine voice. "Please wake up Dante!" pleaded the voice again.
'Huh?'
"Please Dante, wake up! Please!" the mare continued, yet this time Dante felt some moister land on his face.
'That voice, it's her. But why is she crying, and why is she begging me to wake up? I am awake.' Dante thought as he tried to move his forehooves. 'The hay, why can't I move?'
"Please wake up. Please please please please." the voice continued as the amount of moister increase to fall.
"Fluttershy, stop. It's too late, he's gone." said another familiar voice, yet the was one of a stallion's.
"No Reda, he's still alive. I know he is!"
"Stop lying to yourself!" Reda yelled. "Now look at him, he isn't breathing or moving. He's dead!"
'No I'm not, I'm right here!' Dante yelled, but Reda didn't hear him. 'Dammit Reda listen to me, I'm alive! I can't see you but I can hear you now stop yelling at Fluttershy!' Reda still couldn't hear a word he was saying.
Dante then felt more pressure on his chest and the he felt his coat getting drenched by tears as Fluttershy cried on his body. "No. Nononononononononononononononononononononono. No!" Fluttershy screamed.
As Fluttershy stopped screaming, Dante could finally feel the energy in his hooves. He slowly got up and opened his eyes. What Dante found made him sick to his stomach, almost rowing up at the spot. He saw his body covered head to hoof in cuts all over and from what he could tell, they were self inflicted. His body was surrounded by large pools of blood and on the wall next to him was a suicide letter written in blood by him.
'What is this?' Dante asked.
'Your suicide, Dante Wings.' said a raspy voice from behind him.
'Who are you?' Dante said as he turned around to find a skeleton pony wearing a black robe. Where a pony's cutie mark would usually be was also covered by the robe but on the robe was a picture of a pure bone scythe.
'You should know who I am, seeing as I'm the one who takes you to either heaven or, well you know.'
'You're Death, aren't you?' Dante asked, the fear written on his face.
'Ding, Ding, Ding. We got ourselves a winner. Guess what son, you just won yourself a one way trip to hell.' Death said in a carnival pony's voice.
'Wait, I can't leave Fluttershy behind.' Dante pleaded.
'You should've thought of that before you killed yourself. Now come on we got to get going.' Death said as he grabbed Dante by the shoulder and began dragging him away.
'Nooooooooooooo!'
