//------------------------------// // Fluttershy's Jealousy // Story: Five against One // by Paper-Lillie //------------------------------// Fluttershy's Jealousy Luna glided across to her sister through the sky of never ending red. Celestia spent her days watching the sun, despite Mother and Father's best attempts. "Can you feel it?" Celestia sighed and walked closer to the sun. "Yes." "What do you think she will do? Banish them to the moon?" "I can't be sure. The Elements may not work when it does happen." "Will Cadance be able to help?" "Most probably." "Did you know this was going to happen?" Silence. "Did you know what it may lead to?" No answer. "Did you know what would become of-" "No." Fluttershy smiled as all the birds from the garden helped her brush her hair. Three of them lifted her crown from the table and set it gently on her head. "Are you ready for the rehearsal today?" She asked. They all tweeted in reply. "I am so excited for this anniversary!" And why would that be? "Who's that?" Fluttershy squealed. Me. Just me. "Who's 'me'?" I'm your subconsciousness. That is all. "Oh, ok...." Do you want to be a princess? "I am a princess..." An Alicorn princess? "Oh! That's a...er....big offer..." Well? "Alright then! I'll just check with Twili-" No, no. This is a one time offer, and Twilight can't know. "But doesn't she authorise all things like that?" Oh, come on, dear. Just imagine it! You could authorise all the things YOU want, do anything YOU want! You could be great! They would love you! "I'm beginning to think this is some kind of trick of Discord's. But that can't be possible." I am not Discord. Do you want to think about the offer? "Yes, please..." Alright then. I will speak with you tonight. 'Subconsciousness' really scared Fluttershy. She was also very worried about the upcoming night. She dropped her baton quite a few times during rehearsal. "I'm so sorry, everypony." She flew down for her baton for the 18th time that afternoon. "You OK, sugarcube?" Applejack asked. Her face looked a bit strange, like she was forcing a smile every minute of the day. "Oh, yes, thank you Applejack. Just a lot of things on my mind." "She spoken to ya yet?" "Sorry?" "Heh heh. Nothin'. Y'all sounding great up there! Gotta go and err.....buck some farm at the apples!" "But Applejack! You don't work on the farm anym - she's gone." She sighed and picked up her baton. "Is it me or are Rarity and Applejack acting all....false lately?" Fluttershy skipped dinner and went up to her room. Feeling uneasy, dear? "Yes, a bit. Thank you for asking." No need for thanks. "Ok then." Have you thought about my offer? "Um......no?" I know you have. "Yes, ok, I did." Well? "What are the conditions?" Well, on the night of the anniversary, everything will fall into place. You and the other Minors will suddenly reveal yourselves and vanquish that princess! Everypony else will fall under your control when you destroy Cadance before their eyes! I will finally rule! Celestia won't stop me and I will have my rightfull place on the throne like I was supposed to before she banished me to the moon! I. WILL. RULE. FORE- "Excuse me?" Sorry dear. Just going a little...crazy. I guess I just am in need of air. Though it would be physically impossible for me to get any, of course... "Revealing ourselves and vanquishing Twilight? That wouldn't be very polite!" Politeness, kindness, is that all that matters to you? "Well, yes. I am the Element of-" Oh I know! I know! Elements! Who ever cared for Elements?! I've given you the opportunity, Fluttershy! I won't be nice any more. YOU WILL FOLLOW MY COMMAND! Fluttershy got very scared. Unless, of course, you want to get destroyed alongside Twilight?! The only way to save your skin is to come with me! "OK! OK! Just don't hurt me!" Excellent. Rarity and Applejack already know about this, so you won't have to wait for long until I - I mean you have ultimate power! Fluttershy squealed. "ok....."
