Thump, thump. "Hmm..." Thump, thump. Fluttershy opened her eyes to find an impatient Angel. "Angel is something wrong?" Angel nodded his head. "Did I forget to feed you or fluff your tail?" Angel lowered his lids and grabbed a picture of Applejack. "Oh no, I slept in I'm late. I promised Applejack I would help with her beaver problems again." Fluttershy flew out of bed and began to brush her mane "Oh I don't have time I'm late."
"Thank you again... Angel." Fluttershy raced to Sweet Apple acres. Although she was late is was just about a perfect spring morning. Apple crisp air warped around her. The birds sang the mlp theme song because the writers wouldn't let them sing anything else. The sky was clean and fresh from the Pegasus's scheduled storm. The only thing missing was the ponies. A random tumbleweed went by. "Where is everypony?"
She walked along the dusty path to Applejacks, hoping maybe the Apple family had an answer. Only for Fluttershy to find was well no pony. "Where is she?" Maybe she went to sugar cube corner? She thought. So off Fluttershy went.
Is Applejack okay? Did something happen to the Apple family? Maybe she was busy and something turned up, but it wasn't like Applejack to miss a date with a friend "Well hello there Fluttershy, what a pleasant surprise." Mrs. Cake happily cheered. "Do you need another carrot cake for Angel?"
"No, that's fine. Have you seen Applejack?"
"Nope, sorry she's probably at the park for Family day. Mr. Cake and I were going to take the kids out for-" Futtershy zoned out. Applejack probably forgot, but maybe Pinkie pie would want hang out today. "-Have you seen Pinkie Pie? Oh, sorry I interrupted."
"Oh that's okay. Uh.. Pinkie pie went south to visit-"
"Thank you Mrs.Cake, oops sorry for interrupting again." Futtershy bolted out. Clumsily knocking over a table full of goods and a vase. A loud crash hit the floor. Fluttershy guiltily put the goods back on the table, and started to clean up her mess. Mrs. Cake smiled and gestured her to run along.
Seriously where was every pony? She decided to ask Twilight, she knew everything. Knock, knock. A lazy Spike opened the door, "Oh hi Fluttershy."
"Spike is something wrong?"
"I'm fine, but uh Twilight isn't here she left to the crystal empire."
"Oh dear, did something happen?"
"No, she went off to see her brother and sister." Spike sighed.
"Are you sure your okay,"
Spike started to nod, but then sighed, "It's just you guys are always here for Twilight, you guys never ask for me."
"Oh perhaps you would like to hang out."
Spikes face light up, "Really you wanna hang with me?" Fluttershy nodded. "Oh sweet, yah of course! Oh wait I have chores to do before Twilight gets back."
"Would you like me to help you?"
"No that's fine."
"Okay, maybe later you would want to come to my picnic with my animals", Spike nodded and smiled. Fluttershy walked off the steps and decided Rarity probably needed help. But when she arrived to Rarity's boutique a note was on the door. "My dearest clients, I shall be in Manehatten for the holidays. I will be back soon."
"Maybe Rainbow Dash, isn't busy." Fluttershy started to fly up to Cloudsdale, but then stopped. "What am I thinking, Rainbow Dash is probably gone too, with my luck." Fluttershy flew down and lay down next to a tree. Is everyone okay? It's so odd for everyone to be gone. Fluttershy sighed. And left for home, with her head down, once again she was alone. Waves poured out of her green ocean eyes. Not everyone could be gone. I guess I could read more Daring Do books or catch up on... Something. 'I really need a hobby' Fluttershy thought to herself. None off the animals needed her today.
"Hey Fluttershy," came a cool, laid back voice.
"Hi, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy stuttered. Then she stopped and realized something, "Rainbow dash!" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow and half smiled. "Where is everypony?"
"Uh duh, today is family day." Fluttershy cocked her head. "A day where you spend the whole day with your family. How do you not know about it?" Fluttershy still was confused. Rainbow Dash sighed. "That's why all our friends are gone. Twilight's visiting her parents and brother and Cadence, Pinkie pie is with her parents and sisters, Rarity went with Sweetie belle to see her parents, and Applejack is probably doing something with Big Mac, Applebloom, and Granny Smith."
"What about you-"
"My dad is in the guard, so he couldn't get off." There was a hint of sadness in her brave voice, while she rubbed one hoof with the other. Changing the subject, "Hey Fluttershy, what about your family?"
"My family?" Tiny images flickered in her head to fast to tell what was happening, to little detail to tell what was going on. The only thing that seemed to be made out was images of a young colt with a yellow body and a smooth black glossy mane spiked around his head, with little dark purple streaks hidden in his dark colored mane. Another pony came to the images also one a bit older than the colt, she had a sea-foam green body with aqua shaded in at her wings and hooves. Her mane was like a mist that stuck to her head in soft waves.
Something seemed so familiar about them, no past memories came to picture. Her stomach felt heavy along with her head, so heavy her hooves couldn't hold her up. Wobbling and wobbling till she fell, leaving the world with a faded picture.
