This is the sad ending of the sorry. If you wanna proceed then brace yourselves, because manly tears are imminent.
==========
"NO!" Dash screamed, but it was too late. She turned around and saw that the regeneration seal on Fluttershy`s flank disappeared and that her eyes were closed.
She ran next to her, lifting her up.
"Fluttershy?" she called with an unsteady voice.
No answer was given; she held one of her eyes on her chest to listen to her heartbeat
"Dum.............dum........dum......"
"Dash?" Fluttershy suddenly said with a weak voice.
"Yes, Fluttershy?" Dash replied, tears dropping onto the mane of the pegasus she was talking with.
"So you don't hate me?"
"No, no, I don't hate you. I love you."
Several seconds passed before Fluttershy smiled. "I'm relieved," she said.
"Fluttershy?"
No reaction
"Hey, Fluttershy"
No reaction.
She listened to her heartbeat again. "Dum........dum...................." Dash waited, and waited for the next beat to come, but it never did.
A sudden burst of pain ran through her heart; it was like a thousand needles stinging into it. Her mind could not think straight, everything was so surreal for her. The agony and sorrow she felt was unbearable, she had to let it out somehow.
She had to make it stop, but it did not.
She started to cry, hoping that it would take away her pain.
But she couldn't cry hard and fast enough.
She started to scream her grief out, but she wasn't loud enough.
Everything started to turn blurry around her; her heart was being torn apart and there was nothing she could do against it. The pony she loved just died, and she would never talk to her again. Thinking of this made the pegasus go crazy. She struck her hooves against the thick stone walls, trying to let out her anger. She soon found herself lying on the ground, screaming and crying, blood pouring down from her hooves. She never felt anything like this before. She was feeling every single negative emotion at once; anger, sorrow, grief, agony, despair. It was worse than any physical pain she ever experienced. She tried to calm herself down but upon seeing the lifeless body of her friend the pain grew unbearable once again.
Several minutes passed in which Dash was just freaking out. She thought she is going to lose it right there, but she was too exhausted to proceed.
She laid down next to Fluttershy, panting heavily. She turned her head around and facing the body of the pegasus. She still felt sadness somewhere, but it was like she was out of emotions to feel. Feeling numb inside. she couldn't even cry anymore, because she was out of tears. She was even wondering if her heart was still there; of course it was beating, but she couldn't feel it anymore.
A bright light was now slowly enclosing the two pegasi, and a second later they were both back at the library.
"Dash? What happened how is-?" Twilight abruptly stopped once she saw Fluttershy`s lifeless body. Rarity and Pinkie were also present, but couldn't say anything.
Rarity started to cry upon realizing what has happened; her friend was dead. She wasn't even able to tell her last goodbye to her. Fluttershy is gone... no matter how often that thought crossed her mind, she still couldn't believe it.
Pinkie’s curled and vivid mane immediately fell straight. It was like being hit by reality with a hard blow. The pink pony never thought about death and never experienced it happening in such a close environment. Pinkie didn't know how she should feel, or what she was feeling. It was similar to when she worked at the rock field, only hounded times as intense.
Applejack was working on the fields when she felt a pain in her heart.
"Whats the matter?" Big Mac asked her.
"Nothin’, nothin’ at all," she reassured before getting back to work
"Huh?" she said to nopony in particular. Wiping a hoof over her eye she found herself crying, but didn't know why.
The sun did not rise for the entire week; Luna announced to everypony that everything will be back to normal soon.
But the five friends did not mind. Why should there be a sun? A sun was a sign of happiness. And there was no happiness to be found inside of Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack and especially Dash.
All i got to say..
the sadest ending ever. i want to throw up my heart right now. that is no exaderation, it is ligitly how i feel. : (.
You cannot imagine how much i hate you right now. THe happy ending felt forced. The sad ending felt stupid. AND SAD.
14166 Well one of the tags is SAD
That's me again. Holy shit! Happy ending was really good, even if a bit weird. But this? This was something totally needless! This isn't even working with rest of the story. I'm not sure what just happened to Flyshy? Did Luna done what Celestia wanted to do? Or did Luna un-petrified Celestia? Man, you just ruined your own work. I'm not even sad with this ending. I am disapointed...
14808 thats because this is an alt ending.... that means that just one of those ending applies, its an alternate version for people who want to be a bit sad.
Chapter 9 is the official ending of the story
Chapter 10 is an alternate one
Got it ? :)
Yes, I got it. My apologize, if I sounded offensive. But You still didn't answered my question about Celly. Or is it supposed to be the mystery?
Sorry for wasting Your time, but it's just sign, that i liked Your story :)
14823 Oh nono, you are by no means wasting my team. I am really happy about any kind of feedback I recieve!
Whats going to happen with Celestia? Well, I am going to write a sequel to this story which will play in the same universe and Celestia will play a big role, so yes currently it is a secret what is going to happen with the petrified body of Celestia!
I must say I havent shed a tear, even if I wanted to, I'm now depressed, but I respect what you did, I wont be a hater, because of a sad ending, you did what an author had to do, and sincew I'm a brony, I must tolerate and love, even if I'm feeling sad, I'm not dissapointed, I dont hate you, I hate myself for not being able to cry.
But you are a very good writer, and I'ld love to read another story of Flutterdash from you
PS: If you can give it a happier ending, and a happier situation, not death-close, it would be great, but it's up to you to decide that :)
16609 Well chapter 9 is kind of happy, well not really happy but happier xD I understand that some people not like sad endings but thats just how I am and how I wanted this story to end. Im not a fan of "everything is fine at the end", but you know, different people different opinions
You are a champion of story telling. I loved this .
18151 Thank ya very much ^_^
25618 Okiedokie thanks for pointing this out, Ill fix them asap
Well... I had some questions but you said that they'll be answered in another story...
Let's see how fluttershy doomed the world for just being alive.
Or maybe she just doomed celestia's sanity
26176 thanks, I always read it before publishing but you won't believe how hard it is for me to find mistakes in my own story :P
26227 thx, fixxed it
there should be a tag that says "you will cry and cry alot" and it should be on this story.
42973 Haha, crying can be refreshing sometimes ;)
Honestly I don't know which ending was happier and which was sadder because in both somepony dies and in the official ending kind of had a betrayal to it
Celestia is evil; evil, evil, evil... don't care what u say, she is stil evil.
74572 Poor Celestia only did what she had to do ;/
I SHOULD NOT HAVE READED THIS IM CRYING SO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dark, quite dark... but i would have liked to see what the ramifications of leaving the spell cast were... honestly in a way i think that this ending is better... it envokes much stronger emotions... you are a great writer
122849 Haha , crying can actually be quite good for you
127093 I do agree that I like sad endings alot more than happy ones.
In these two endings, sad as they are, Celestia has gained my respect as a ruler.
She is aware of what she is doing and of its´ necessity to follow through with it and doesn´t back down from her duty.
Despite what she feels, despite what they think of her, even despite what it means to Twilight.
Even as she sees her end coming she isn´t mad but proud of Twilight and how well she learned.
That isn´t what a tyrant does, that is something....only good creatures do.
Bravo to this story, bravo to you tyion.
