//------------------------------// // The Second Fluttershy // Story: Kindness vs Cruelness // by GameQubb //------------------------------// Back at Fluttershy's cottage the most weirdest thing has happened. All the animals that would seem innocent and nice are all acting naughty towards one another and those who weren't so nice are completely nice that they were afraid of the others. For example, a bear is hiding from a squirrel that was acting mean to him. Angel was trying to help the others but most of them were not listening to him while others were hiding from the others. The thing that every animal didn't think would happen was that Fluttershy would come back even though she told them that she would be gone for a while. Apparently she got bored of the moon and went back home. However when she got home all the animals were looking at her to see if she was going to give them treats or something. A chipmunk, who is acting naughty due to the Blue Harvest Moon, demanded something to eat and expected her to obey. It didn't expect her to whack him to the fence causing it pain. "If you're so hungry then why don't you eat bark from a tree and don't bother me." Fluttershy said in a dark voice. She then looked over at the other animals and saw that they were all looking at her differently than they used to. "In fact, I'm feeling hungry myself. So why don't you all quit your staring and get me something to eat." Even though he started acting different himself, Angel knew then and there that something must have been wrong. This wasn't the Fluttershy that he knew and he thought that the moon only affected the animals and not ponies. He didn't know why her eyes looked different, why her voice was different, and more importantly why she was acting so cruel. Fluttershy then looked down at Angel and used her stare on him. "Did I not make myself clear? You better do what I say and get me something to eat." Angel then ran to do what she ordered him to do, but was actually running to go get help. Fluttrshy didn't know what he was doing but all she need to know was that she wasn't going to let anything disobey her. She then turned around and started laughing evilly. Deep within Fluttershy's soul the original Fluttershy, the kind one, was looking around and saw nothing but dark, misty space all around her. She didn't know what happened or why she was here. The last thing she remembered was watching the Blue Harvest Moon, but that was the last thing she remembered. "Um...hello!" She started calling out but got no response. "Is any pony around?" She started looking everywhere but she couldn't see any pony or anything. She couldn't even see the ground that she is standing on, but then she started to wonder if she is even standing on ground. "Discord is this one of your tricks? If it is then, if it's alright with you, can you please stop?" "Why do you want it to stop?" Fluttershy looked around but didn't see any pony. "This should be enough punishment for contaminating Discord with your, ugh, kindness." Somehow the voice she heard sounded familiar. She didn't know any other pony with a voice like that, but she did recognized it. "After all, who really cares about being kind to others anyway." Then something came from the mist and it horrified her. "I know I don't." She couldn't believe it. She thought she was rid of this cruel pony but here she was. The pony she saw from the mist was herself. "No, no it can't be." Fluttershy said to herself as she was backing away from the cruel Fluttershy. "You were gone, I got rid of you." "I guess you were just too kind to get rid of me." The cruel Fluttershy said in a sarcastically dark tone. "You've been around for years and still you don't understand. Nothing in Equestria will get you anywhere when you're nice to ponies." "You're wrong." The kind Fluttershy said to her cruel self. "You can't just be cruel to every pony. They didn't do anything wrong." "Yeah and let's keep it that way." The cruel Fluttershy started trotting toward the kind Fluttershy in a threatening and scary way. "As long as they don't do anything they are nothing but pathetic worms for me stomp on, and that goes triple for those pathetic princesses, all four of them." The kind Fluttershy thought it was bad enough that she said that Celestia Luna, and Cadence were pathetic, but saying Twilight was pathetic was once step too far. "I mean really, if Celestia truly loved Equestria then she should be the one that protects it, instead she has attack dogs like you." "She does care about Equestria, every princess does." The kind Fluttershy said quiet but strong. "And they are not pathetic. How dare you say something like that especially when you're also talking about my friends." The cruel Fluttershy only smirked at what she said. "How dare I, how about 'how dare you'." The kind Fluttershy didn't understand. "Although I don't expect a weakling to understand. You think that I'm so bad and stupid and cruel, but there is one thing you don't understand." Basically everything she said was something that she didn't understand since she didn't really get her cruel self at all. But the next thing she said makes her heart stop and everything in her mind go blank. "I AM YOU?!" It was the one thing that The kind Fluttershy knew was true about the cruel Fluttershy. All throughout her fillyhood she knew about another personality that she had but didn't like. No matter what personality it was that controls her body the fact is that all personalities are still a part of the same pony. "I'm just the better one since I know to take care of myself and care not for others." The kind Fluttershy didn't want to hear anymore of what the cruel Fluttershy had to say. She couldn't take anymore of this. Whatever her cruel self was doing she wanted it to stop. "What is it that you want?" "I think even you should know what that thing is. But just in case you really don't then fine I'll tell you." The cruel Fluttershy trotted up to the kind Fluttershy and got right into her face. "Control over this body." Hearing that made her start to fear the worst back when she was filly. "So in that case." Just then the cruel Fluttershy punched the kind Fluttershy in the face knocking her back. She felt her face and felt a bruise on it as she saw her cruel self walk away. "Face it worm, your part in Equestria is over now." With all that said she walked away leaving the kind Fluttershy there crying. The celebration was still going on since the Blue Harvest Moon is still out. All of Fluttershy's friends are still there all not knowing of Fluttershy not being there since she said that she wanted to be alone. However, their attention was caught when they saw Angel coming their way. "Is that Angel?" Pinkie Pie said being the first to talk before any of them could get a chance. "What's Angel doing all the way out here?" Twilight said. "Shuldn't he be back at Fluttershy's house?" Angel then made his way to them. They didn't know what he was saying since they can't understand them but they didn't need any words to know that he's trying to say that something is wrong. "I think he wants us to follow him." "Well then let's go." Pinkie said already up and leaving. They didn't know how she could move so fast but decided to leave that alone and follow Angel. By the time they finally made it to Fluttershy's house they saw something that they have never seen since the time Discord was first free and trying to spread chaos in Ponyville. They all saw Fluttershy treating every animal like trash. Pushing them to do what she told them, hurting them if they don't do it or fail to do it, everything they see it wasn't they way they used to see Fluttershy. Twilight really couldn't believe what she was seeing. This was nothing like the Fluttershy that she knew. "What is she doing? Why is she acting like this?" Rainbow Dash just stood there. Not only did she see something that she couldn't believe, but she was also looking at something that she believed was very familiar. The way she acted towards the animals, she couldn't help but notice that she saw this before. Just as Fluttershy was giving another order to one of the animals they all heard her whistling a tune that was very unique. It was right then and there that Rainbow Dash's suspicions were confirmed. "I don't get it." Twilight said to herself. "She was acting fine earlier." It was then that she saw Rainbow Dash looking so scared. "Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow Dash's irises were slowly growing as all her memories from when she was filly all came to her like a train crashing into a building. "This can't be happening." Rainbow Dash said forgetting that all her friends were there with her. "Not again."
