	Fluttershy awoke to the light of early morning.  She explored her closet for an outfit to wear.  On one of her favorite scarfs, there was A note.  The note read:  

“Hey you gonna come on down to the farm?  I  have A little surprise for ya. If ya don’t come then ya miss it, and i need you most importantly!!!”

Applejack from this place want with her?  She never even knew Applejack had A key to the house, or was it herself that had left it.  Nonetheless, she left the house and waltzed over to the orange mares house, not even trying to get away, or wanting it any different.
There were a lot of notes around town pinned to every door, all addressed to Fluttershy.  Stating: “Sorry Fluttershy, but you have more important things to worry about,” she giggled A bit, there were so many papers, that one girl would go threw all of the trouble to get her their.  Every door and pole had the same note, made the same way.
The Apple’s house finally creeped up like A cat and staggered her with fear and despair.   it looked normal as ever, except the sky.  Finally approaching the acres,  she went straight to her little home.  The door like many other things, had a note.  But this one was different, very different, it read: "Come to my barn, it is wonderful present."  She then proceeded to the barn not even caring that her friend cared to waste so much paper.
The barns door was opened just A crack and light began to seep in as she made her soft entry.   Applejack was towards the back, and was fiddling with something.   Applejack proceed to turn around and throw A rope around Fluttershy, pulling her in.

"So glad you can make it, did you find you trip here long.  Cause i have been waiting for you, A long, long, time," she moaned deeper with every word. 
"Um. No it was ok.  What did you need me for???  I can't really help you with work and stuff like that."  Fluttershy's soft voice weekend as Applejack stepped towards her hoove by hoove, with something behind her back.   Applejack was looking threw the opened door; the creature was speeding towards the barn.  With A quick motion she threw A cleave at an secured rope, cutting it free.  The doors had been hit shut and blocked off by a ton of hay and bails.  The thing slammed into the door, unrelentingly; it kept it up for A good 10 minutes, before it gave up and ceased to continue.

Applejack began to tie Fluttershy’s fore hooves and back legs down to the sides of A hay bail, and pulled up A wagon of sharp knifes, cleaves and scaples.   Applejack bashed Fluttershy's head with A slab of wood; she was unconscious for the 		"examination".   AJ began to scurry through her supplies, and pull up A pair long needle and A leather muzzle.  She placed the muzzle on Fluttershy and then pinned it down through the leather, and into the hay with the needles.  She was now ready to "remove" her from A life of being shy, and have her open up some.
Apple took A scalpel in hand and began to poke Fluttershy's nose; barely drawing A spot of blood.  Apple had A disturbingly pleased look on her face, one that she would never have.  She started to chuckle and giggle at how it had to happen this way and so unnatural.  

"HeHe, can't believe the shy girl came, and at this hour.what A stupid bi-," The ceiling began to cave in.  most of the larger Pieces and stalks, missed both ponies.  Every pony and monster was safe from the fallen roof.

Applejack took cover with in A pile of hay: leaving Fluttershy in the open, hoping she'd get impaled.  Fluttershy was just getting her composure back, and got A little dust and hay in her eyes.  The beast started to emerge from the dust and wood unharmed, but with A few torn feathers dripping with blood.  It began to walk over to Applejack’s wagon, grabbing A set of blades by the sharp and blunt edge, squeezing them in anger; letting thier metal tips inter her hoove.
She then approached Fluttershy and cut all of the ropes off; dripping blood on her hooves and face.  She proceeded to walk over to Applejack; A fist full of knifes and blades.  She crept towards Apple, and shook her head in disapproval.  She proceeded to slit her thought with the 5 knifes and scaples; letting all the blades rest in her neck.  Fluttershy's minor cuts healed almost instantly, only leaving scars on the skin.  Fluttershy got up and started to wobble her way over to the thing.  She wanted to ask it what had happened, and why the ponies were doing what it did?  The beast just looked at her and slid A note into her mane.  she slipped a tablet of morfen into her mouth, letting her drift into yet another sleep.




Fluttershy woke up screaming, scaring Angel whiter than the purest white.

"Oh, sorry Angel, it happened again.  Should i get Spike to come with me?"   Angel just tilted his fluffy head.  "Ok, you’re the greatest," she hugged the bunny to the point of combustion.
She darted straight for the closet and grabbed her new daily wares; a red scarf and sweater.  She gloomily trotted over to Twilight's tree/library, and got Spike for the day.  She greeted him with A big Fluttershy hug; gentaly squeezing him with joy.
"Hey Fluttershy, are you alright?" 
"Kinda, i happened again, and i am scared," Flutterhsy lower her voice towards the end.
"It's ok Flutter's. I’m here to help you, so what was it this time???"
She took A big deep breath, "It was  Applejack."  Tears began to roll down her eyes.  Fluttershy proceeded to hug Spike; she started to tear up even worst, in public.  Nopony was watching the display so Spike, being A pro at hiding, led them to an older side of Ponyville, and continued the display.
The two sad friends, done with the tears decided to go and face the truth.  Fluttershy explained the whole dream to him. 	"Wow.  That is sick; she would never do that, especially to you."  Fluttershy just nodded.  The rest of the walk was silent and pointless; Fluttershy walked besides Spike.  They had arrived and heard screams coming from the house, male and female screams.
Spike bursts into the door.   Applejack was getting held to the floor, knife to her throught, and Big Macintosh chained to a post, there was nothing to do.  Applejack struggled to get free, but just got hurt even worst with every atempt to break free.
the stalion assulting apple jack started to hollar, "HEY YOU, GET IN HERE AND CLOSE THE DOOR, NOW!!!" 
Fluttershy and Spike entered and as told, closed the door.
"Ok now that we are all in order let's get real!"  As he uttered the last words he threw Apple against the wall and chopped her head clean off; even Big Macintosh was silenced, and horrified.
"Ok, sweety your next!"  he started to approach Fluttershy.  Spike tried to stop him but got hit with the blunt end of the business stick.
Big Macintosh started to wiggle his way free and failed miserably.  He was now enraged and no longer A man of few words.
"Oh hell no, you wanna fuck with the family you have to die by the famly!!!"  He grabbed A knife in his mouth and pulled the wooden post from under itself.  
"If you wanna fuck with her, you have to kill me first!!!"  Big Macintosh threw A knife at the other male, slitting his ear; half of it fell to the floor.
"What was th-," His words were interrupted by A swift punch to the jaw.  Blood of the stallion was now sheed on the property.  Big Macintosh told Flutters and Spike to go and get the authorities.  Fluttershy started to make her way past them, but it was to later.  He proceeded to bit his mane and rip his hair off, along with the skin upon his face.  
Fluttershy ran to the corner of the room, and just looked at him, Spike and the corpse.  "Quess i didn't give you e’nuff time to leave, sorry.  I guess we won't need the authorities."  Spike just got up and walked to the restroom.  He emerged with 5 towels and rags, all dampened with soap and water.  Spike started to clean up the crying pony of the hellish blood of the muderers.  He then gave two to Spike, and used the last for himself.

Spike and Fluttershy just left, not A word said, not even A small bit of happiness in their hearts or even lives at the time.  Why did she have to take Spike with her,  it would end bad for her and him either way.  Even Big Macintosh would be sad.  





"Yup, better get the cops, hey lil' fella, can you get them for me?"

Spike just nodded and walked out with his face as sad as Fluttershy's.

"Why did you have to do that?"
"I have no clue what got over me, I’m sorry that we got you involved in this deary."

Fluttershy began to cry.  she wallowed in the corner and never even considering to look up at the carcasses, or even Macintosh, for that matter.


A while later A set of big colts walked into the home.  both were shocked at this horrific sight; one proceeded to cover his eyes and the other vomited on to the wood floor.

"Oh what is wrong with you?  What would you have had done to you, to do this??? I am shocked!!!"  He proceeded to vomit once more.  "Could we continue this outside please?"  

As the man had asked they all emerged into the light of day, steering clear of the scene.

"Ok,  i am going to have to ask you to put you sadle bag down, and to go onto either side of the door, please"

He did as the man had asked. The less squeamish stallion patted him down thoroughly; not missing an inch of this body.

"Ok, he's clean!  Now we can begin."

Fluttershy was escorted to the police department and asked all sorts of questions.  She told the truth for most of them, lying acasonaly.  They proceeded to do the same for Spike, Spike was just terrified and would occasionally freak out.  

"No, I didn't do any of that, that is, ughhhhh," Spike had just given up on reasoning with the men.

For Apple's big brother, he just pleaded guilty of killing the murderer.  He would be sentenced to death, in the most inhumane way possible. 

It was to be A private execution, no visitors, and no body to be sent to the family.  As for Applejack's it was sent back to the farm and A funeral was to be held in A week or so.  Fluttershy got walked home by Spike once again, and this time words had been exchanged.  small talk, and nothing else.

"Um, Spike, could you spend the night with me, just this once?"
Spike looked at her in confusion, "What for, you have Angel and all of the animals that you take care of?"
She started to fiddle her hoof, "I just don't want to be left alone after that. so could you stay with me, please?"
Spike began to think it over, "Ok  i guess."
Fluttershy immediately shot towards him hugging him while rolling on the floor. Fluttershy released him from her grasp, 	"Sorry Spike, are you ok?"
Spike caught his breath for A few seconds, "Hehe, its ok Fluttershy and i'm fine.  it was only A hug."
Fluttershy let out A small giggle, and hugged him once more, just for good measures.

The two slightly happy set went on to Fluttershy's cottage.  Spike was sleeping next to Angel, breathing hard on him.  all three of them, gloomy and tuckered out, fell asleep,  reminiscing on the events as usual.
