> The Death of Angel Bunny > by PrincessDashie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Memories Are Forever > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a cool autumn morning, on the outskirts of the Everfree, Fluttershy was spending the day relaxing with her marefriend, Rainbow Dash on the edge of the lake. She hummed a tune to herself as Rainbow lay asleep in her lap, and Angel Bunny beside her. “Angel Bunny, be a dear and bring us the plate of cookies I made for us last night.” Fluttershy asked, noticing the scowl forming on his face and adding, “If you don't mind, that is.” Grumpily, Angel pulled a half eaten carrot from his back and after chucking it into Fluttershy's cheek, he hopped off towards the house. “Poor Angel Bunny, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bunny bed today,” She thought, returning to her humming. As she hummed the melody, Rainbow's leg began twitching,followed by a small moan as she sleepily opened her eyes. “Hey Flutters,” Rainbow said. “Oh hello Dashie, did you sleep well?” Fluttershy asked, allowing her marefriend to sit up out of her lap. “I did, until I had the strangest dream.” Rainbow stated, as she leaned over and ran her tongue gingerly across her marefriend's ear. “Oh?.. Ohhhh” Fluttershy moaned, “Wha... was it... bout?” “Mmmm, that damned... rabbit of yours.” Rainbow replied through licks. Fluttershy pulled away softly. “Oh Dashie, Angel Bunny is a sweetheart.” “Sweetheart my plot, Fluttershy” Rainbow retorted. “That rabbit has a death warrant out for me or something, I just know it!” “Dashie, I think you are overreacting,” Fluttershy cooed. “Angel Bunny doesn't hate you... and he definitely doesn't have a...” Fluttershy was cut off as a rotten tomato hurled in front of her, landing square in the center of Rainbow Dash's face. “That's it you little monster! I'm gonna beat the carrots out of you!” Rainbow shouted, as she unfurled her wings and took off after Angel. “Dashie.... Please Dashie....” Fluttershy whimpered. “Dashie please stop!” She screamed, which was about as loud as a normal speaking voice. Rainbow stopped dead in her tracks, looking on in anger at the white ball of hell, 2 feet in front of her. Angel bunny giggled before turning to hop away, but was stopped by Fluttershy. “Now Angel Bunny, that wasn't very nice.” She said, but was met with said bunny crossing his arms and looking away, stomping his tiny feet. “Tell Rainbow Dash you're sorry right now.” Fluttershy asked, only to be met with another carrot being thrown her way. “Angel Bunny! You march over here and you apologize to Rainbow Dash right this minute!” Fluttershy watched as he quickly hopped away. “Don't make me use the stare mister.” Fluttershy said, watching Angel Bunny stop dead in his tracks. Feeling defeated, he pulled his ears with his little hands, knowing he had lost this fight, and slowly hopped back to Rainbow Dash, and hugged foreleg tightly. “Oh see Dashie,” Fluttershy cooed, “He does like you.” Rainbow picked Angel up slowly, and cradled him in her forelegs, giving him a tight hug. She bent down to whisper in his ears. “Wait til she's not around you little pest.” Feeling the little rabbit shake, Rainbow sat him back down, and instinctively, he ran back to his 'adoptive mother'. “What was that Angel?” Fluttershy asked, watching as Angel Bunny played his game of charades, his way of talking to his mama. “Oh don't be silly Angel Bunny, Rainbow Dash is the last pony in all of Equestria you need to be afraid of.” She pleaded, as he hopped in place, pulling his ears, almost to the ripping point. “Now you go inside Angel Bunny, you can clean the house as punishment for throwing that yucky tomato in poor Dashie's face.” He hung his head in defeat as he began the walk of shame towards the house, as an eager looking Rainbow Dash looked on. “Oh I'm so sorry Dashie, I really don't know what got into him.” Fluttershy cooed. “I hope you aren't too mad at him, please don't be mad.” “I'm not mad Fluttershy.” Rainbow stated. “I'm not mad at all, in-fact... I feel as if I am closer to the rodent... er I mean rabbit.” Fluttershy smiled contently as her marefriend put a little pressure on her chest, pushing her back onto the ground. “Now... where did we leave off Flutters?” Rainbow growled, as she let her tongue trail Fluttershy's ear once more. ★     ☆ ★     ☆ ★     ☆ ★ Angel looked over the kitchen as he finished drying off the last clean dish, placing it into the clean pile on the counter, and subsequently, taking them one at a time and storing them in their proper cabinets. Angel stood on his tippy-toes as he reached far, scooting Fluttershy's favorite crystal wine glass into the cabinet above him. He grunted and bit his tongue gently, and scowled the fur above his eyes as he nudged the glass into the cabinet, however, as he repositioned his leg to get a better reach, he slipped on a drop of water and tumbled off of the counter onto the floor. He watched in slow motion as his mama's favorite wine glass came tumbling down, and shattering on the floor in front of him. Angel jumped up frantically, grabbing a small bunny sized broom, he quickly swept up the glass and tossed it behind the counter, hoping his mama wouldn't notice it until he could throw it away tonight, just before the trash would be taken out. After an hour of cleaning, Angel finished his chores and walked into the kitchen where Fluttershy was serving Rainbow and herself dinner. Angel hopped into his seat and looked grimly at the sad excuse for a salad sitting in front of him; a bit of lettuce, and a few carrot shavings. He angrily smacked the salad onto the floor, and stuck a recipe book in his mama's face, and showed her the image of the special salad he loved so much. “Now Angel Bunny, you are not getting a special salad tonight. Not after how you treated Dashie earlier.” Fluttershy said softly. “And now, your salad is all over the floor.” “Yeah” Rainbow cut in. “Now if you want dinner, you're gonna have to eat the one you threw onto the floor.” Fluttershy opened her mouth quickly, but was met with a soft hoof being placed in front of her lips. “He made the mess Fluttershy. It is not your responsibility to make him a second meal when he threw the first away in a temper tantrum.” “B...But Dashie...” “But nothing Flutters...” Rainbow cooed. “This is why he treats you like such a push over.” Fluttershy watched as Angel gathered up the spilled salad, and placed it into his bowl. “Angel Bunny, you don't have to eat that.” She said, and almost instantly his ears perked up, and he placed the book once more in front of his mama. Fluttershy took the recipe book, and sat it on top of the book case, out of his reach. “No no Angel Bunny, you threw the salad I made you away, if you want another one, you will make it yourself.” Angel was furious now, he threw the bowl onto the kitchen table, scattering the salad remains all over his mama and her marefriend, and quickly, he hopped into a mouse hole, where he took up shelter with his mice friends. “Why that good-for-nothing....” Rainbow muttered. “Shhh” Fluttershy cooed, rubbing her hoof up Rainbow's foreleg. “Let's just enjoy our dinner... ok Dashie?” They enjoyed a peaceful dinner, and spent the rest of the evening cuddling each other, amongst other 'intimate' activites, But at half passed midnight, a soft glow emanated from a candle in the living room of Fluttershy's cottage. “Angel Bunny?” Fluttershy whispered, as she softly trotted across the kitchen floor. “Angel Bunny, please come out.” Fluttershy scouted the room, and watched as Angel slowly pulled him self from out of the rabbit hole he was previously in. He ran to his 'mama' who scooped him up in a loving embrace. “I'm very disappointed in you Angel Bunny, but I love you so much.” She said, watching as a tear made its way from his little beady eye. “But I also love Dashie very much too, and when you insult her, it hurts me very much.” “Angel, please be a dear and fetch me a bundle of clean rags from the shed please.” Fluttershy asked. Angel shivered as he looked out into the dark abyss of night, looking back at his mama with a pout. “Now now Angel Bunny, do as I say. There's nothing scary out there, I promise.” Fluttershy assured. Angel put on his brave face, and step by step he marched into the shed. He spent a few moments looking around for the clean rags that his mama had spoke of, before seeing them in the bottom of a wooden barrel in the far corner of the shed. Before he could retrieve them, the shed door slammed shut, and his candle was blown out from the wind. Panic stricken, Angel ran in the direction of the door, tripping over bundles of rope, and lengths of lumber, not being able to see anything which was in front of him. As he reached the door with a crash, he frantically jumped his highest, trying to reach the handle, but failed. He pounded on the door, hoping that somepony on the other side would hear his frantic antics of come to his rescue. After a few moments, he heard a rustling from the door handle, and instantly knew he was saved. He watched hungrily as the door knob began to turn, before being knocked across the room from the impact of the door. “Hey... rodent..er... rabbit? Are you in here?” Rainbow Dash called out from the entry way. She scanned the shed, noticing a little white ball in the corner. Lighting the candle she walked over and noticed that it was in-fact little Angel Bunny, knocked out from the door impact. Smiling, Rainbow walked back out of the shed. ★     ☆ ★     ☆ ★     ☆ ★ Angel woke up to a throbbing pain in the side of his head. He opened his eyes slowly, but could not see. All that surrounded him was darkness. He looked around, but was unable to make out any detail of his location. Moments passed, and memories came flooding back to his little mind. He remembered trying to leave the shed, and remembered the pain from the door impact. He jumped up; or rather, attempted to jump up but was overcome with extreme pain coming from his hands and feet. Every attempt he made at moving a limb, he was overcome with pain, and as such, started to panic, unable to see his injury, only feel it. In the moments he spent alone, his rhythmic breathing was his only companion in the darkness of the old shed. Lost in his own thoughts, he failed to notice the soft scraping sounds off in the distance. Angel jumped, ignoring the pain from his limbs as he felt a soft pressure on his stomach. Letting out a soft wimper, he watched as a match was lit, subsequently lighting a candle. He knew his captor, it was the pony he feared the most standing before him. That bloody blue Pegasus that he hated so. He watched in fear as the blue pony sat the candle down on the bench beside him. It was then he took in the sight of his injury, feeling sick instantly as he stared in horror at the two legs that were attached to a wooden plank through use of a few roofing tacks. His hands tho, Celestia help his hands, were strapped to a second plank, with multiple trim nails sticking out of each one. “You know you little shit, you should really be more careful of where you land... well...” Rainbow whispered, “you should be more careful around opening doors really.” “Angel Bunny” said a voice all to familiar to his ears. He looked happily as he saw his mama walking towards him. Surely she would punish the rainbowed one for him this time, and she will see just how better off she would be without her. “Angel Bunny I'm so very disappointed in you.” Angel was confused, drooping his ears he was lost in his thoughts. “How could she possibly be disappointed in me?” he thought. “Surely... she sees what the rainbowed one did to me...” “I'm so sorry Angel Bunny... I really am. I'm so sorry for what has happened to you.” His ears perked up at the sound of this. He knew where this was going... he won. He grinned in the direction of Rainbow Dash, thinking mischievously at how amazing it was going to be to watch his mama leave the pony who is in love with her. Angel was quickly brought out of his thoughts by a thud to his cheek. Turning his head, he saw an end of a carrot rolling from his head, and onto the floor. “The Rainbow one couldn't have done that.... I was staring right at her.” He thought. He turned to face his mama, ready to plead for her to take him away from this dirty old shed. “Mama... he thought, before noticing the tip of a carrot by her hoof.” Opening his eyes in shock, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He watched as Rainbow Dash slowly trotted over to him. She grabbed an amazing looking salad from the bench behind her and sat it down next to Angel. Licking his lips, drooling into his own mouth as he imagined the taste of his favorite special salad. He eyed it in delight, the lettuce, the orange slices, the bananas, the cucumbers... all perfectly laid out, topped by a ripe red cherry on top. Licking his lips he leaned up in an attempt snatch a nibble. “Almost there” he thought, his teeth just millimeters from the strand of lettuce. One millimeter later and pain coursed through his left arm as he pulled himself back down into his resting position. “Does the little bunny wabbit want his special salad?” Rainbow asked, watching in content, as the bunny's eyes before her opened up as wide as they could go. Rainbow grabbed the cherry off the top of the salad, and dangled it in front of his face. “You remember a year ago... what you made Fluttershy go through, JUST to get a cherry?” Angel thought back to the 'assertive Fluttershy' episode, and slowly nodded his head. As he brought his head back down, a plump cherry was forced into his mouth. “Hope you enjoy it.” Dash said, before dumping the remainder of the salad on top of the bunny. “There there Angel” spoke the angelic voice of his mama. Swallowing the cherry, the salad was gently brushed off his face by the pony he cared for the most. “You know angel...” She spoke softly. “After dinner I wanted to share a glass of wine with Dashie, but my wine glass was missing.” His eyes swelled up with tears as he watched the pony he called his 'mama' for years pull a broken wine glass out of a bag on the floor. “I'm very disappointed in you mister... Rainbow's mother gave me this many many years ago before she passed away. “Hey Angel! Heads up!” he heard, as a brown tomato hit him in the face. He spit out the portion that entered his mouth, leaving behind a rancid smell. “Dashie, now poor Angel will have to take bath.” Fluttershy informed. “Yes, she's gonna let me go” he thought to himself, looking forward to a bath. However; he was not granted leave, looking up he slowly felt his blood run cold as he slowly passed out. Moments later, Angel opened his eyes slowly to a piece of bloodied glass sat in front of his body, and... something covered in blood sitting next to it. He quickly recognized that, it was his tail, his perfect bushy tail. “Guess you won't be needing that fluffed anymore Angel” Rainbow joked. Angel shut his eyes, tears streaming out of them. “What did I ever do to deserve this?” He thought to himself. Thinking back to all the moments he hurt his mama, and her special somepony. All of the thrown food, the threats he made, and all the times he made his mama cry. Angel looked on as his mama approached him slowly, she reached down and undid his bindings bringing him up into a hug. “Oh Angel Bunny, I'm so sorry.” She cooed, looking at the shivering bloodied mess in her arms. Angel looked up at his 'mama', his savior, he was saved. “I love you so much Angel, oh so very much.” A blood-curdling scream emanated from Angel, as he looked down at the source of his pain. A broken wine glass shoved into his chest, being held... by a yellow hoof. “Why?” he thought, as he looked up at his mama. He watched as tears ran from her eyes. “I'm so sorry Angel Bunny.” She cried. “I tried, but no matter what I did, you would always fight with Dashie, and hurt her.” Fluttershy pulled the glass out, and ran a shallow cut down the length of his body. Blood spurted from his wound, spraying over Fluttershy's chest. “You are my favorite pet Angel, but that never gave you the right to pick on me, or my marefriend.” “You know Angel...” Fluttershy said softly. “I'll do anything for my Dashie.” Those were the last words Angel Bunny heard that night. The last thing he knew was the feeling of his windpipe collapsing upon itself. As he landed on the ground, Fluttershy's favorite wine glass; the one he broke, lodged itself even further in his throat. He spent the next four minutes squirming on the ground, drowning on his own blood as it poured from his vertebral arteries, down his windpipe into his lungs. Looking up at his murderers, he shook his fist as he slipped down, losing what strength he had left. “Bucking Bitches” he thought as his body slowed to a final halt.
