Fluttershy's Letter
Fluttershy's Letter
Written by: Rarityfan87
Rarity was making her way to Fluttershy’s cottage to pick her up for their weekly spa meeting. Rarity arrived five minutes early, not wanting to be late for their appointment.
*Knock knock
No response.
“Fluttershy?” Rarity asked concerned.
No response.
“Fluttershy!” She asked louder this time.
I hope the poor dear is alright. She never usually takes this long to answer. I should open the door to make sure she’s alright… but entering without permission is very un-lady like. If she’s in danger though… alright I’m going to enter, she may be in danger.
Rarity opened the door with her signature blue aura. She was surprised it was unlocked. Fluttershy usually locked her door, afraid of intruders.
Rarity walked around calling out Fluttershy’s name, still getting no response. She eventually found a letter on the kitchen table. Noticing it was addressed to her, she started to read it.
Dear Rarity,
I realise that today is usually our spa day, but I had some important business to attend to. Hopefully we could go another day, if that’s alright with you.
Oh Fluttershy, of course it’s alright. You make me laugh sometimes. Rarity chuckled slightly, before continuing to read.
The reason I also wrote this letter, is because… oh goodness… how to put this… it’s about you, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, and about our friendship. Oh where to start?
Well, how about as far back as I can remember, the day my parents died. On the day Rainbow Dash performed her Sonic Rainboom, that was the same day my parents passed away. They were coming to have lunch with me, but on the way here, a strong wind knocked them really hard into a bolder. They died from internal bleeding as they arrived at the hospital, but it was too late, as they were already dead when they arrived. After school, one of the police ponies came and let me know the news.
Rarity noticed the paper was slightly wet from Fluttershy’s tears.
At that point, I moved in permanently to this shack near the woods, I wanted to spend my life with the animals. They were really nice and helped me get over the event. Rainbow Dash would also come along to visit… at least for the first month. After that she would be showing off, or would race everypony she could. She wasn’t there for me. At that point it was just me and my animals. That’s also when I found Angel, at his bunny hole, by his dead parents. I decided to take him in, seeing as he suffered the same fate as me, and maybe we could help each other out. Unfortunately, all he would do is abuse me, no matter how nice I was and no matter what I did for him, he stayed the same. Again I was alone… I continued to go to school, I continued to go home alone every day, and come home to an abusive Angel bunny. For the longest time, I felt alone, like I would never be happy again. It continued throughout school; it was a routine really.
The last year of school and the prom was coming. Most of the mares found a partner… MOST that is. I didn’t find one, sure there was a very small possibility I could have found myself a colt, but what was the point, he would probably leave me or just want to use me, like my ‘friends’ I’ve met so far. I went to the dance anyway. I sat in the back, and watched every other pony dance and enjoy themselves. As I was standing there, a colt walked up to me.
“Hey, there… I was wondering…”
“I’m sorry but the answer is no.”
“Pardon?”
“Trust me, you don’t want to waste your time with me, when there are plenty other mares out there that would be better suited for you.”
“Don’t be silly. What is your name?”
“Flu…tter…shy.”
“Fluttershy?”
“Yes...”
“Well Fluttershy, would you like to dance.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because, how do I know you won’t just use me?”
“Because, I give you my solid promise. I would never just use somepony as beautiful as you.”
“Well… no, I’m sure you can find another mare more beautiful than me.”
“No Fluttershy, I looked around, and you were the most beautiful mare I saw in here. Now please give me a chance, and let’s dance.”
“Alright, but let’s do it off on the side, I can’t dance and I don’t want everypony laughing at me.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Fluttershy followed her new friend, as he led them to a spot off on the side. He grabbed Fluttershy’s hooves in his and started to dance. Fluttershy was a little nervous, and it showed. She wasn’t moving to the music, and she wasn’t moving much, it was mostly her colt friend doing all the moves. Eventually Fluttershy started to enjoy it and started to slowly get into it. They continued to dance, and Fluttershy would slowly start to move with her colt friend. Fluttershy eventually lost herself in his arms and he used the opportunity to give her a passionate kiss on the lips. Fluttershy resisted at first, but accepted it, as it was her perfect moment. He broke the kiss, after what felt like an eternity. Fluttershy, still lost in the moment asked.
“You never told me your name.”
“My name is Butterscotch.”
“Well Butterscotch, I had a lovely time.”
“Wait.”
“Yes?”
“I was hoping we could go have a coffee or hang out, and enjoy this beautiful night.”
“Well, that does sound lovely… sure.”
“Great, I know the perfect spot.”
Fluttershy followed Butterscotch to a clearing in the clouds. It was beautiful. The sky was in perfect view, and the moon was full. The perfect date night atmosphere.
“Fluttershy.”
“Yes Butterscotch?”
“Will you be my special mare friend?”
“Yes! Yes I will be!”
Fluttershy went in for a passionate kiss. Butterscotch returned it. Tonight, was the best night in a long time for Fluttershy.
Butterscotch visited me every day, and I would visit him. We did a lot together. One time, he took me to a beautiful classical music concert. It was magnificent. That night a newer artist was being featured. Her name was Octavia. She played the cello beautifully, so beautifully Butterscotch and I were in the moment. I leaned my head on his shoulder and we stayed like that, just enjoying the concert, in love. That night I invited him over, and we slept together that night. Which actually was the night I lost my virginity. Another time he took me to the movies. Unbenounced to me, we were seeing a horror movie. When I found out I refused to go, yet something told me it was okay, that it would be safe, as long as he was there with me. We ended up going, and I got scared, but knowing he was there to protect me, I was able to watch the entire thing.
End song here.
It was great! He was the perfect stallion. I had finally found a friend, no a soul mate. Somepony who cared for me, somepony who loved me for who I was. One night, I wanted to surprise him by bringing him my homemade butterscotch sauce. I entered the house, but something felt off. I put the butterscotch down on the table. I went upstairs only to find Butterscotch mounting another Pegasus.
“HOW COULD… HOW COULD YOU BUTTERSCOTCH! I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR PERFECT MARE!”
“Oh crap. Fluttershy she means nothing to me, you’re the one I love.”
“OH REALLY? THEN WHY IS SHE HERE?”
“Because, because… I don’t know…”
Fluttershy walked up to him, and gave him a hard kick in the genitals.
“OW!” He knew he deserved what he had received.
“Well Butterscotch, don’t ever come near me again, because I can’t promise I’ll be as nice next time. Goodbye forever.”
Fluttershy left, leaving a crying Butterscotch behind. She flew as fast as she could to her hut. She ran in, got into bed and cried all night.
I couldn’t believe it. He… cheated on me with that mare. I didn’t leave the cottage for days. I just stayed in bed, crying, unable to speak, unable to move, talk or do anything. He was the only true friend I had. I guess it wasn’t true though. I had to force myself to feed the animals, I had to force myself to eat, and even then, I couldn’t bring myself to eat. I would just sit there, my eyes red and sore, from crying, from the pain he caused, from the horror that fell upon me. Everyday I tried to eat, but it was impossible. That same plate of food sat there. When I finished feeding the animals, and after I tried to eat, I would go back in my bed, with the curtains closed. The room was dark, I didn’t want any light, I just wanted to be alone in the dark. I just wanted to be alone. Thankfully nopony bothered me for the next few days. That is until I heard a familiar voice about five days later.
“Fluttershy… may I please come in?”
“Of course Rarity.”
You opened the door, and walked into my bedroom.
Actually, it reminds me of how we met. That night at the concert with that… jerk! You had the seat next to me. We ended up having a nice conversation about the concert, when I wasn’t busy with that… guy.
”Isn’t her music just simply divine?”
“It is, I really like it.”
“The way she plays that cello in combination with the other instruments.”
“Yes, it’s perfect.”
“My name is Rarity, what is yours dearie?”
“My name is Fluttershy, and this is Butterscotch.”
“Hello, nice to meet you both. I just love classical music!”
“Me too, this is actually my first concert.”
“You picked a great one dear.”
The two continued to listen to the beautiful music. After the concert, Rarity pulled Fluttershy and Butterscotch over.
“We should meet up again sometime. I work at the Carousel Boutique, feel free to pop in anytime. We could book a time to meet.”
“That sounds great Rarity, and it was nice to meet you.”
“The pleasure is mine. See you two later.”
After that we would meet up. You gave me advice on my relationship, and I am thankful for that. I really appreciated it Rarity. You even brought me to my first visit to the spa. Ever since then, we went every week, we became great friends. That day though, you came in and made your way upstairs. You saw the pain and suffering I was in. You immediately sat next to me and just sat there, just subtly let me know you were there to help. It helped. Every day you visited, you slowly helped me bring my life back to normal. You were the perfect shoulder to cry on, friend. Slowly I started to go back to my daily routine. Eventually I was able to go to the market alone to buy food, I was able to leave the cottage.
It was short lived however as when I went shopping they would take advantage of my kindness as you and Pinkie Pie noticed. You guys tried to help me, but you only made things worse. I became a monster, I was the thing I wished never to become… I was a cruel pony. Sure I didn’t do anything too severe (thank Celestia). You thankfully helped me out there, but things only went back to normal at the market after that, and ponies only started to take advantage of me again. If they didn’t , they would give me looks of horror after how I treated them. That thankfully didn’t last forever, they eventually forgave me.
A few months later Twilight arrived in Ponyville. She only made things worse with all the adventures she brought me on. Especially talking to the dragon. I didn’t want to do it! I had eventually had the courage to talk to him, but almost at the cost of you guys. I still can’t talk to dragons today. They should just be left alone.
Which also reminds me when Rainbow tried to force me to come and look at the dragon migration. She knew I HATED to be near dragons, and she still tried to force me. She even tried to guilt trip me into going by bringing up the fact she went to the butterfly migration with me. The nerve of her! Thankfully I got away. I flew off to a secret location. I waited a few hours before returning home.
Eventually the Grand Galloping Gala came along. As you know that went horrible. The animals didn’t trust me, they ran away from me. At first I was depressed, but that depression turned into rage. As you saw I stormed in, telling the animals that they were going to love me. After that event, I felt horrible. I couldn’t wait to get home.
Sure in between all of this I had fun, but a lot of times you guys didn’t include me, you guys had many adventures and didn’t include me. I felt hurt, I felt alone. After that I was pretty much left alone. No one came to visit me, or say hi to me, unless they needed something. You guys just continued to use me, but you guys weren’t really there for me. That brought up my depression. I thought I had friends…
I want to bring up that I know I'm a very shy pony and that most of those adventures I would most likely not have enjoyed, but you guys could have always come and just visit, invite me over or at least come and say hi, how are you doing? That's all I wanted, I wanted... friends. After all that happened to me, I needed to be surrounded by friends. Every chapter of my story, there would be a depressing event, it was never great or good. It would build up, only to be taken down hard. You my 'friends' weren't there for me a lot of the time. I would only go into a depression. It would last for long amounts of time. I would just stay in my house and lay in bed, the curtains closed. I stayed in the dark and didn't do anything but lay there and wish that a friend would show up. But that never happened...
As I finish writing this letter, it hurts me… thinking of how my friends could treat me like this, how they just used me and never gave back. How you were never TRULY there for me, yet I was always there for you. You knew I was shy, you knew I was timid, but yet you still forced me to be who I wasn’t. I’ll be at my secret location to ponder about all of this.
Hopefully you won’t treat any future friends like you’ve treated me.
Sincerely,
Fluttershy.
*Moving to Fluttershy*
Well Fluttershy, it’s obvious your friends don’t care about you. Leaving is the only option. Well goodbye world, hopefully I’ll find better friends wherever I end up.
Fluttershy closed her eyes and let herself fall in the river face down, drowning in the river, letting it drag her body wherever it will take her.
