//------------------------------// // Fluttershy (chapter 4) // Story: My Friends Will be With me. // by kennel hoof //------------------------------// Twilight moved towards the fourth cylinder with Fluttershy in it, she stopped and realized she had forgotten something. She turned her head towards the shelf with the animals and party stuff on it, some of the animals began to levitate towards Twilight, a beaver, a couple of butterflies and a very recognizable white bunny. They got placed in front of the fourth cylinder, almost like they waited for Fluttershy to come out. Before opening it though she looked at the fifth cylinder which was empty “Soon they will all be with me, and then they will never leave me” Taking a deep breath she opened up for the yellow pegasi to get out. Like with the others Twilight was met with empty eye sockets, Fluttershy could stand like Rarity without falling out or onto the ground, her wings was sewn to her sides so they would hang lifelessly from her body, a couple of feathers were missing on the wings, it had been hard for Twilight to keep them in perfect condition, her mouth had been sewn so it was slightly open, looking like Fluttershy always was about to say something and her pink mane was gently falling down her right side like she was still alive. “Fluttershy I’m so happy you could join us, and I see you took some animals with you and of course Angel Bunny as well” Twilight walked over and gave Fluttershy a hug, sheeting a small tear for her friends. “Oh by the way Fluttershy, did you tell Rainbow Dash to meet us?” Twilight stared at the yellow pegasi in front of her, waiting for an answer she somewhere in her mind knew wouldn’t come. “No. Oh that is quite all right Fluttershy. You were probably busy with the small critters, giving them food and all. Really it’s not that big of a deal, she is probably flying around Ponyville right now. Let’s sit down for a moment and talk, then I´ll go out and get Rainbow later.” Fluttershy’s head naught’d, the body walked towards the table and sat itself down in front of Applejack and next to Pinkie Pie. Twilight sad down between Fluttershy and Pinkie pie, she looked around at the others with a smile of pure insanity. “So girls I wanted to ask you how you are all doing?” She looked around, her eyes stopped blinking for a couple of seconds while she waited for some sort of answer, she knew there wouldn’t be any answers but to protect her from reality her mind made up the answers she were waiting. “I’m glad to hear you are all doing so well, I guess I have to get Rainbow now so we can get this party started” Twilight moved from her seat and the table, she walked over to the closet with the dresses and levitated something down from the top of it. “Okay girls you just sit here and talk have some cake or something and have fun. I’ll just go out and find Rainbow so she can be a part of this too” Twilight didn’t even look at the table or the others while saying this, she had to prepare for when Rainbow would show up. She knew that it wouldn’t be easy, seeing as Rainbow could put up a good fight when something wasn’t right. A couple of chains were levitated up to a wooden board in the ceiling and wrapped around it. This wouldn’t be enough though, so like when Rarity had come down, she placed a steel pipe next to the entrance. Twilight thought about what to do, her eyes widened and she began to smile, slowly she began to move towards the stairs, her mind were only fixated on one thing and that was to get Rainbow down into the room so she could join the others and so she would never leave Twilight. Stepping outside the castle Twilight looked up into the skies, the sun was on its way down, saying goodbye once again to all the ponies in Equestria, and by its side the moon began to rise, showing it was about time to get some rest. This was not the case for Twilight however. She had to find Rainbow and the faster the better, she ran towards the town square yelling like somepony who had just found a dead body. A couple of ponies opened their windows to see what was going on, when they saw it was Twilight they realized she maybe had found the others of her friends. It had been the big topic to talk about, how Twilight friends had disappeared seemingly out of thin air without a word to their families or anypony for that matter. Now that she looked for Rainbow they all hoped she had found some form of clue to where the others had gone. “HEY TWILIGHT SLOW DOWN” The cyan blue Pegasus with the beautiful rainbow mane and tail flew from the skies landing a couple of feet in front of Twilight, Looking at her with a worried expression. “Are you okay there Twi, you look like you just saw a ghost or something. Is it about the others, did you find something?” Rainbow looked at Twilight with big eyes, it was clear that she hoped it was good news about the others. “I… I just… I mean I found…” Twilight took a deep breath to relax herself, her mane was still a mess like when she was down in the secret room, but nopony made a notice of it seen as she just had run and sounded like she was in a panic. “I need you at the castle, it’s about the others but I need to show you something” Her heartbeat and breathing was slowly turning normal again. “Lead the way if we can get our friends back soon I’ll do anything” With that they both stormed towards the castle, Rainbow with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and Twilight with a small insane smile on her face.
