//------------------------------// // Limelight // Story: The Look // by AnonyShy //------------------------------// Fluttershy was hard at work, cleaning up the many cuts and bruises on Snapshot's body whilst humming a comforting lullaby. Occasionally Snapshot winced, but she was very grateful for the help. ''So... you really think we can leave here?'' She asked ''Well, we know who knows the password. I don't see why not. I'm just afraid of what the other models will do if we're caught.'' ''I think we'll be able to do it. With you as our leader, we can't fail!'' Snapshot grinned. Meanwhile, the five friends were boarding a two day train to Fluttershy's destination. ''Rainbow Dash, are you feeling any better?'' Pinkie Pie questioned. ''Uh yeah. Kinda embarrassed actually. I can't believe I started crying like a little filly!'' The rainbow mare laughed nervously. ''Well, don't be! It's only natural! I hope my super duper yummy kiwi cupcakes helped make you feel better!'' ''They sure did, Pinkie'' ''Shh..'' Twilight mumbled as she pondered on which platform was theirs. The five finally managed to jump on the train, waving goodbye to Ponyville as it sunk below the horizon, looking ahead and wondering what was in store for them. At the institute, Fluttershy and Snapshot were hard at work, planning carefully. The next day, they put their plan into action. It all began by acquiring the door password and they needed Catwalk in order to do this. The two ponies had completely forgotten about Snapshot until the next day, when to their horror they realised they had left her tied up. ''Ok, ok. We can fix this. Limelight? Go untie her! I'm sure she hasn't starved to death yet! It's only been a day! But still..Photo Finish will kill us if she finds out we left Snapshot tied up!'' Catwalk ordered. ''On it!'' Limelight yelled as she galloped down the corridors. Limelight ran into Snapshot's room when WHAM! Before she could even wonder how the door had been bucked down she was hit hard in the face by a frying pan. By Fluttershy, who had hit her with the frying pan. The butterscotch pony dragged Limelight's unconscious body to the corner of the room, smiling at Snapshot. A few minutes later, Limelight awoke and was eventually 'persuaded' to give up the door code. Although she looked tough, over the months Fluttershy came to realise what a soft, background character she was. It didn't take much to break her. Two bottles of mane dye and a pair of scissors to be exact. ''I told you it's 2-3-6-4! Now leave me alone!'' Limelight cried. Fluttershy nodded at Snapshot, but Snapshot seemed distracted. The pegasus began to wonder why but suddenly... WHAM! Again, a frying pan. The same frying pan to be exact. But the pony who did the hitting and the pony who was hit were different. As the frying pan collided with Fluttershy's face, causing a large cut, she fell to the ground. She hit her head on the table nearby with a large thud. She could barely see, but she looked up to see the inevitable. But the inevitable was not seen. Instead, Snapshot held the frying pan. ''S... Snapshot.. w-why...?'' Fluttershy mumbled before passing out. ''Acting, Fluttershy. Acting.'' Snapshot's evil streak was released.
