Fluttershy
Ponyville
5 Hours After Launch Of Operation Harmony
Fluttershy huffed. She wasn’t used to flying, so that had taken a lot out of her. She had heard this voice not long ago. It urged her to join her friends and told her the way. She just needed to make sure she wasn’t seen. While Fluttershy wasn’t a pony known for bragging,secretly she enjoyed being totally silent in her trot. And with all that ruckus somepony had made with shouts, she had had no trouble slipping away unneeded. Then she was told to fly for a bit so there was nopony able to track her later. Though finding it odd, Fluttershy did all she could to ensure she could meet with her friends. After all, they must be terribly lonely and might be scared or even hurt. After all she had heard what had happened. They had escaped. But Fluttershy would find them and help them.
Just then she heard a sound. There was somepony close! She dove into her bushes and waited with baited breath. She didn’t want to be caught now! But it was just Ditzy Doo flying by nearby. Flinching a bit as the mare crashed into a tree, the yellow pegasus nearly went out of her hiding place to help that mare but remembered her purpose. No, it hurt her to see Ditzy hurting herself but Fluttershy needed to be there for her friends. If she closed her eyes she could still recall her friends bodies, full of bruises and writhing in pain. They looked so scared, so alone. They needed her help!
Blinking, she noticed she was alone again and darted for the next hiding place. A somewhat thick tree...although she wouldn’t want to impose on the tree’s feelings if it minded his own size. But she was fully capable of cowering beside said tree with nopony able to see her. Looking around she waited again if anypony came into her field of vision. But nopony came. Starting with a nervous, fast paced trot she went into the direction she was told to go. It was at the edge of town. There was this one pony with a grey coat and an orange mane. This one pony would help her getting to her friends.
Closing her eyes she saw them again. They were whimpering again. What did her friends do to deserve such pain? Unconsciously speeding up her trot into a slow gallop she raced to this pony. She stopped only the shortest amount of time possible between some pegasi flying together through the sky to avoid notice. There! She could make out the pony from her mind in the distance. Just a few more minutes and she would be reunited with her friends!
But she suddenly stopped as she heard a startled voice “Fluttershy? What are you doing here?” Had she been spotted? She looked around and saw a sleepy Scootaloo huddled close to a bakery she passed. What was that filly doing out here? Didn’t she need to be at home? But...
Swallowing once, Fluttershy started flying again. Even if she was seriously worried about Scootaloo being away she had to help her friends first. The voice urged her on and all too soon she literally crashed into the pony she was supposed to find.
“What the..!” came a surprised shout from the mare before her eyes settled on Fluttershy. “Oh you. Why did you crash into me? Don’t you have eyes?” said the mare before her. “Oh...I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to...” Fluttershy started before being interrupted by the mare. “Yeah, I don’t care that much. Just stay still for a second, okay?” “Um okay...” muttered a dejected Fluttershy before suddenly being hit hard in the head by a rock. From behind. Swirling around as she fell, she noticed the mares horn glowed in tune with the stone. “Wha...” she mumbled before she fell into unconsciousness. “Well, how nice of you to drop in.” the unicorn said smiling cruelly. Resisting the urge to smack the blonde pegasus with the stone. Well too much anyway. “And now we will visit Laurence and your dear friends.” she said, concentrating on her teleport before whisking the both of them away.
