To A Happy Ending
For the first time in a long while, you were sitting with the girls at Pinkie’s house, with the new addition of Angel Wings. Given how close she was sitting to Rainbow Dash, you knew the dance last night helped spark a romance. Of course, that wasn’t to say you were also huddled next to your newly found girlfriend. Well, she was the one huddling you, holding you like a teddy bear.
“So, the magic we found only existed briefly before it faded away. It could be a sign that Equestrian magic is weakening here.” Twilight Sparkle had called the meeting after she and Sunset found a disturbance last night, only for it to mysteriously vanish.
“Or perhaps that particular magic wasn’t strong enough and fizzled out.” You were more attentive to this meeting than you ever were before.
“There’s that possibility too. We’re currently running the metrics through to the Twilight at Equestria to see what’s up.” Sunset said.
“Well? It’s not that big of a deal, is it? I mean, it’s gone…” Angel Wings asked.
“For now. It could come back stronger.” As Twilight said that, Sunset’s journal began to glow. Sunset took it, opened it, and once she saw what was inside, gasped.
“It’s probably that…” She laid the book down as she read aloud what was written: “The magic that she analysed comes from the afterlife.”
“Y-you mean like… ghosts?” Angel Wings asked. Before Sunset could answer, you remembered what happened last night, then spoke up.
“Wait, you said this magic came from the statue, right? How far did you say it went?” You asked.
“It wasn’t far, just at across of the…” Sunset’s voice lowered as she made the realization you had. “Street…”
“I… think I know what might have happened. I… saw Fluttershy last night. I didn’t know how, but… she was there. And… She told me to move on.” You couldn’t help but notice Applejack giving Sunset a smug look.
“If that’s the case, then I don’t think we need to worry about our little ghost problem, then.” Twilight said.
“I’m glad you’re starting to feel better, darling.” Rarity said to you.
“Well, maybe.” As you said that, Rainbow Dash reached for your hand.
“Hey, we’re here for you if you need us.” Rainbow Dash said, though, you still felt a little uneasy as you retracted your hand almost instantly. Though, after a moment, you laid your hand on hers. “And… Sorry for the other day.”
“It’s… alright. I’m sorry as well.” You said. You didn’t feel like it was alright, but at the same time, your feelings weren’t the hot mess they were the other day. You accepted Rainbow Dash’s offer and hoped that, in the future, you two wouldn’t come to blows like what happened.
The rest of the night went by rather peacefully. While you didn’t leave Pinkie Pie’s side (let alone her grip) for a second, you felt genuine enjoyment being with the others and touched base with them now that the emotional roadblock has been taken care of, and as you slept over, you laid by Pinkie’s side and, for the first time in a while, you rested easily.
A week or so had passed and the pain did not return. Pinkie Pie insisted you and the others should go to the animal shelter. It was the first time you went there since Radiant Hope attended the place to preform surgery. Before, you would have hesitated to go, but now? You came, ready to see what Pinkie had in store for you.
You knew that the shelter was in need of renovations and it took quite a bit to do so. Thankfully, with the surplus of money they had from both Radiant Hope and Canterlot High, they managed to finish it up within the two weeks. Overall, it didn’t look too different from the old pet shelter. If anything, it was more of a face lift than an overall rebuild. It wasn’t until you got inside did you see the contrast.
Before, the shelter looked like just an average building lobby, with the “shelter” part being more on par with a prison. But here? It looked more like a pet store, with pearly white floors and ceilings. There were a few pillars that held up the room and even the shelter part looked on par to a miniature hotel than death row.
But, perhaps the biggest feature of all was a plaque that was at the corner of your eye. You turned to see it and were blown away…
It was a picture of Fluttershy outdoors. She was kneeling, holding Angel snuggly in one arm and using her hand to perch a red, orange-breasted bird. Among several butterflies that were conveniently in the shot was a cat that you knew as the shelter’s “mascot” so to speak. Everyone else also adored the picture, though, what got you emotional was what was written:
Dedicated to Fluttershy.
We will always love you.
You shed a tear. It wasn’t of sorrow or pain, however. This was a tear of joy. Liquid pride, as Shining Armor would put it. Before, there seemed to be something heavy looming over you, and yet now? You felt free. You were reminded of the bond that you and her shared and how it could never be broken. While your thoughts went back to the days leading to Valentine’s Day and the turmoil you experienced, you shook them away, knowing that you were now stronger than that.
“So, you like it?” Sunset asked you. You nodded. “I’ve personally asked to have something put up in memory of her. She loved this place her whole life, so I figured it’d be good to immortalize her.” Sunset said. You gave a nod, along with a smile. Sunset gave a smile as well and patted you on the back.
“I’ll leave you be for a bit.” She said, before she went with the other girls to check out the new features of the shelter.
You glanced at the photo. It was hard to believe that, a few months ago, she was alive… Then, like a thief in the night, she was gone. Perhaps it was the suddenness of it that destroyed you or even the trauma of finding out about it first hand. Whatever it was, it tore your heart apart. You weren’t able to heal properly and any attempt to heal just made the pain worse. Even now, you feel like your heart was still tattered. However, it wasn’t going to stop you from continuing.
You gave the picture a kiss and mutter softly.
“I’ll always love you, Fluttershy.” You said her name without breaking down. Another sign your heart was mending. You went to join with the others, though looking back at the Fluttershy statue and remembering what her ghost said. That would be your silent promise:
To keep moving forward to a happy ending.

I swear to god a tear rolled down my face it was so emotional
What’s with the smug look?

Earlier in the fanfic, Applejack proposed getting the Equestria Fluttershy since the idea is that he'd be able to move in if he heard it from the horse's mouth.
The ghost of EQG!Fluttershy saying this is enough to prove her point.

Wasn’t there a problem with that plan?
11058833
Yeah, but the problem involved bringing the Equestrian Fluttershy over to EQG, nothing about the EQG Fluttershy being the one to do it.
11058836
And they can’t do that because of balance, right?

That and there were a ton of things they had to do in order to even make this work, such as getting Equestria Fluttershy to move like a human (possibly even flawlessly so Anon doesn't become any the wiser), telling her about her deceased counterpart, and most important of all, ensure Anon doesn't just decide to head to Equestria, though they didn't bring up the whole "it may threaten the universe" bit that Celestia learned the hard way.

Oh ok.
