Fluttershy could barley contain her excitment, as she flew towards the train station. That and the fact that if she stopped moving she would probably fall asleep. After she kissed Moon Light, she was to nervous to sleep. She didn't even think about it, her body just moved on her own but she didn't care. Kissing him, even just on the cheek gave her a feeling she had never expirienced before. She couldn't help it, she couldn't stand to be away from him another second. She wanted to return to the comfort, to the warmth of his presence.
It didn't take long fot Fluttershy to reach the station. I looked much diffrent then during the concert. Instead of a untold number of ponies clustered together in a giant mass, there were only a few dozen ponies scattered over the grounds packing up everything. As she watched them pack everything into the train, reality set in for Fluttershy. Moon Light was leaveing that day. Her heart suddenly fell into her stomach almost causeing her to fall out of the sky. She knew that he was leaveing but she never expected it to effect her this much. Fluttershy thought it was crazy, she only knew him for a day. But that didn't matter, it felt much longer then that and she wanted him to stay with her more than anything. After trying to think of something she could do, anything she could do to make him stay longer, she suddenly realized she was running late. She suddenly flew down as fast as she could, trying to keep her feelings from surfaceing.
She landed on the outskirts of the grounds and made her way to the meeting place. As she walked through the grounds, still lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly greeted by a friendly face. Almost as instantly as she herd the soft whistle of something flying through the air, Moon Light's pet snake Viper was wrapped around her neck in a gentle hug. She was her usual shade of purple, with a heart cutie mark on her coil. This calmed Fluttershy down and for a moment she was able to relax if only for a seconed. But her feeling of relief was followed by a feeling of anxiouty and happiness as she saw Moon Light running towards her with a smile on his face.
“Hey,” He said almost completly out of breath. “ Good to see you.”
“You too,” Fluttershy said. Seeing Moon Light would normally feeling of happiness but this time was different. Instead she had a feeling of her own timid nature surfacing with her anxiety. She tried to hide it as best as she could but she could tell that Moon Light suspected something.
“Are you alright?” Moon Light finally asked
“Um, yes I think so.” She quickly answered. But even as the words left her mouth she knew he wouldn't believe her. Fluttershy could tell by the concerned look on his face that he wasn't buying her small lie. He was about to say something when another pony she didn't recognize walked up to them.
“Hey, are you harassing another girl,” said the mysterious mare in a mocking tone. Fluttershy instantly felt like she had seen her before. She was a unicorn, whose coat was a pale blue. But what really stood out was her mane, it was short and was a mix of purple and pink. The only other thing that stood out was her cutie mark, a amplifier set to max volume.
“ Ha ha, very funny.” Moon Light said just as play fully. Fluttershy was glad for the sudden distraction but couldn't help but have a feeling of jealousy.
“Oh uh Fluttershy,” Moon Light suddenly remembering who he was with, “ this is Evanescence, don't worry about learning a name that long, we just call her Eve. She's the guitarist for our band.” Fluttershy realized that's how she new her, from the concert. She probably would have remembered sooner if she wasn't trying to escape while trying desperately to stay conscious. “ Eve, this is the girl I told you about.”
“Oh, so your the girl he can't shut up about.” Eve said obviously poking fun at Moon Light. This made Fluttershy's heart skip a beat.
“Okay, that's enough,” Moon Light quickly said, obviously trying to change the subject. “What do you want anyway?”
“Oh yeah,” She suddenly remembered “ The guys want to do a practice session.”
“Well as you can obviously tell I have company,” he said very annoyed with her. Fluttershy couldn't help but think that they didn't get along very well. She was a bit uncomfortable but her feelings of jealousy faded.
“Well, we were supposed to practice yesterday but somepony decided to blow it off and spend the day slacking off!” Eve suddenly shouted. Moon Light was startled by this, but mostly he was embarrassed. He didn't want to fight in front of Fluttershy. He didn't want his last hours with her to be like this.
“I'm sorry,” Moon Light finally said after a long pause while looking at the ground. The two mares stood there not knowing which one he was talking to. But after he looked up and his gaze met Fluttershy she knew it was her.
“Oh, that's okay,” Fluttershy said trying to hide her pain. She lied, it wasn't okay, she wanted to spend every second of their last day together. She was about to leave when Eve spoke up.
“ You can come too, you know, if you want,” She said sympathetically. Fluttershy didn't know how to respond. She wanted to spend as much time with Moon Light as possible but she knew how much his music scared her.
“I don't think that's such a goo-” Moon Light tried to say but was interrupted with a unenthusiastic “Sounds like fun.” from Fluttershy. She was still unsure but she knew she didn't want to end it like that. They made their way through the grounds to the train. Fluttershy noticed that it was a lot less scary looking during the day. They then entered the main car. There were two stallions there waiting for them. One was very skinny, with a dark green coat and neon green mane, that was all spiked. His cutie mark was a bass guitar. The other was very tall and very buff Pegasus , and had a orange coat. But what really stood out was his mane, his long red hair covered most of his face. And His cutie mark were two drumsticks hitting a symbol.
“ Ahh, you found him,” said the green pony sounding annoyed, “ and here I was hoping to have another day off.”
The orange pony then gave him a firm slap on the back of the head, quickly shutting him up.
“Aren’t you going to introduce us?” the orange pony asked looking towards Fluttershy, at least she thought he was looking at her. It was hard to tell with all of his hair.
“Oh right,” Moon Light suddenly aware that he hadn't been introduced “ Fluttershy, These are the 2 others members of the band. The one who needs a haircut more than his next meal is Zildjian our drummer. And the puke colored slacker is Vicious our bassist. Guys this is Fluttershy.”
“Oh, so your Fluttershy,” Zildjian said suddenly realizing who she was “Nice to meet you Fluttershy, I've only heard good things about you.”
“ Oh, um thank you,” Fluttershy said embarrassed
“Yeah, thanks for getting the dictator off our backs yesterday, really needed a break.” Vicious chimed in followed by a another slap to the head from Zildjian.
“Anyway, know that I'm here we can get started,” Moon Light said, eager to keep his friends busy “ Fluttershy you can sit anywhere, okay.”
She nodded and took a seat on the couch in the room. She watched them set up, but her mind was elsewhere. She was still trying to think of a what to do about Moon Light leaving. She wanted him to stay but she knew she couldn't ask him to stay. And she couldn't go with him either, she had to take care of her animals. She was so distracted with her own thoughts that she didn't even notice that they had already started playing. The song they played was the same one that they started the concert with, and she had the same feeling of loneliness she did that night. That was followed by the feeling of pain and rage, and when she looked at Moon Light he looked different. He looked like he was in pain, just as much as the song felt. She hated seeing him like that, hated seeing him in pain. Eventually she couldn't take it anymore and let the familiar feeling of unconsciousness take her over.
