> One Shy Problem > by octavia1997 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Pinkie Pie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On A not so normal day; in an almost perfectly, peaceful town, nothing was as it was supposed to be. Inside the ponyville hospital; lay the innocent grey pony; Derpy Hooves. With A broken hoof, A cut lower leg, and A jagged cut mane and tail; The poor mare awaited her dangerous surgery. One of her pony friends; Fluttershy, grieved over the motionless body; recalling all of the events that had happened the past morning. Fluttershy knew Derpy wasn’t capable of doing it, but despite her better judgement; the yellow pegasus let her try anyway. Following in the steps of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie; The grey pegasus got onto her sliver of wood, and kicked off the hill. As Rainbow sped down the rocky, slick hill; she saw her pink pony friend zip past her all the way to the bottom; placing the party pony in first. The two desperate ponies were racing to be the first to the bottom, and had forgotten all about Derpy. Leaving her in A trail of dust and smoke as they sped past her. Fluttershy waiting at the start of the slope; watching as all three raced to the end. While both Rainbow and Pinkie managed to eluded the dense brush of the hill side; Derpy on the other hoof had sped straight into the thick vegetation. Fluttershy began to worry for her friend; several minutes had past and still Derpy hadn’t emerged. Scared of what might have happened to her; Fluttershy began her trek up the steep hill, not even bothering to wait for the other two to arrive. Arriving at the small patch of weeds and thorns, the yellow pony found her friend tied in vines, and hair knotted into A couple of the thistle bushes. Not too far back was A black shadow of A monstrous creature; it sliced through Derpy’s mane as if it were cotton candy. The shadowy beast then slashed at the vines that were binding the pony; cutting the pegasus free. Moments after it looked up, and shot off into the sky. The creature carved its way through the canopy, vanishing from existence. Rainbow and Pinkie arrived just in time to see the horrendous happenings. Amazed but also terrified at the sight the the two nearly forgot themselves; that was until they saw the condition Derpy was in. Rainbow left to get help, while Pinkie waited by Fluttershy’s side. Not wanting to waste time; Pinkie and Fluttershy picked up their grey friend and managed to get her to the bottom of the hill. A medical team arrived shortly after taking the mangled mare to the hospital, and put her into intensive care. “Excuse me, but i am going to have to ask you to leave.” A voice called out. ”Visiting hours are over. Sorry dear.”. “Oh...ok...” replied a distraught Fluttershy. “Can you...please tell me...what time can i come agai-” With quick haste; the worker shoved Fluttershy out the door. “ohh- um, -err.... “ The worker muttered to herself. “...MONDAY! Yeah Monday, come back monday...” she shouted, as though she were in A rush to get off of work. Sadden by the turn of events, but still hoping for the best to come; Fluttershy trotted home. Once inside, the yellow exhausted mare plopped down onto her bed. She crossed her Legs and placed her hooves to the sides of her heads. She began to wonder what the creature she saw was. “Was it real...Did Pinkie or Rainbow dash see it...They did...didn’t they...”Fluttershy thought slowly “...but...they never said anything.” The mare turned herself over; not wanting to worry anymore than what was needed; She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep .She was so out of it, in fact that she didn’t notice the small rabbit that she was now laying on top of. Angel bunny grunted softly as he attempted to push the pony off himself; but his little body wasn’t strong enough. Angel simply sighed; knowing full well he was trapped till morning. Upon awakening the world had felt different, but the same somehow. Not having time to ponder on the subject, she stormed out of her quarters and headed into the world, “um hummm,” Fluttershy muttered. The sun had not been raised yet, and it was already 7:34. “Hey you?!” She hollered at the top of her lung, the pony turned and ran. Fluttershy, scared to be left alone began to take chase. Tripping over A rope, she rolled forward; losing all sight of the pony or whatever it was. Looking to see where the rope had lead, found an inexplicably sad, pink pony, with A mane as straight as A straight line. Fluttershy walked slowly to the tall tree where her friend was. "Hey Pinkie...um...wha-what are you doing out here?" The yellow mare asked in confusion. "It's...so dark...an-and...spooky...” “Oh, hey, Fluttershy, i am just going to, ummmm, climb that tree. Can you help me?” She asked in the bitterness of her voice. “Oh, I’d love to!” She yelled in A squeaky voice. Pinkie Pie shook her head as A signal to move in the direction of the tree, and then walked. The walk was silent and lonesome. No words were uttered and the hill was A pain to climb. towards the top of the hill Pinkie Pie had started to fade into nothing. Fluttershy flipped and started to quiver. Scared that she had pulled A prank, she pressed on. Near the top, A river had started to run red. it didn’t seem like one of her pranks, maybe Rainbow had be in on this; but not even Rainbow did this. Up at the top there was the tree , all of the leaves and branches, on fire, the mysterious black shadow pony was watching her closely. "Oh...no...oh...oh...Pin-Pinkie...Pinkie...what...happened..." The yellow pegasus said as her body began shake. "Pinki-..." Fluttershy's eyes lite up as she stared at her pink friend. The Yellow mare quickly shut mouth and turned her head away.To her horror; Pinkie pie was dead; hung by the very rope she had brought with her. Waking up from that terrible nightmare, Fluttershy hit the bunny off the bed side. She checked the date to see that it was Sunday, the date hadn't changed that much, only A days worth of time, just one day. Shocked at what had happened in her dream, she went off to see if Pinkie Pie was OK. Fluttershy ran, just ran, faster than Rainbow Dash could fly. A little ways from the entrance of the bakery was the darkened pony. It noticed her and fled. Fluttershy resisted to take chase and rushed into the doors. On the table was the pink party pony, but she wasn't looking good. With some more inspection, she saw A blue streamer around Pinkie’s neck. Scared to lose A friend, Fluttershy flew up onto the table and attempted to cut the streamer with A pair of scissors, but the choking mare kept moving and bouncing around, rendering the shy pony’s attempts useless. Sad at the fact she was still dying, she grabbed A knife and swung at the streamer. Hitting it after the third swing, Pinkie Pie fell onto the counter, blood running down the pink cheek. A certain pony, gave her A super happy hug, even Pinkie Pie couldn’t match it. The two had A joyous reunion. “Oh, thank you Fluttershy, i thought i was going to be A goner,” she exclaimed. “Oh you don’t have to thank me, i just didn’t want you to be dead, that would make me and the others very sad.” As Pinkie started her way down off of the countertop, she slipped on her blood, and fell backwards; banged her head on the oven hood, and getting finished by the white tile floors. quickly bleeding out, A disturbed mare fell back and sat in horror at the brutal death of the Pink slice of joy. She crept up on the body of A once energetic, sweet, living mare. There was nothing left to do for her, not even Celestia could help with this. With all of this happening so fast and so quick, she aspired to find A way to hide the red carcass. With every pony out of the shop, and the store not to be open for another hour or so, all the possibilities were endless. Trying to respect the lifeless body, and give it A proper burial, Fluttershy moved it onto A pink blanket, and hauled it out onto the back porch. Apologizing for every step she dragged it down. Pulling up A shovel and digging A small divot, Flutters very tears for the lost friend, softened the rough dirt and stone. With hole deep and pony ready, she lowered the carcass. The last words said to her were, “ i just didn't want you to be dead.” Fluttershy announced the death, and gave her A long lengthy prayer. She filled the hole and left fresh cut flowers, Zinnia, as puffy as her personality. The depressed, heart struck gal trotted off to work with the animals. While she was walking home, the little cute purple dragon, Spike came along side Fluttershy, and walked with her to the forest; planning on stopping at Rarity’s. Not willing enough to tell Spike what had happened, the walk was long and flavorless. Spike asked her what was wrong, almost A hundred times. Walking by Rarity’s, he gave Fluttershy A fair-well hug, and wished the shy girl A good afternoon. Spike left into the purple and white house. Hours before nightfall or even bed time for that matter, she just kept reminiscing on how she killed, no, no, accidentally killed Pinkie Pie. So many feelings and all of them linked to that blackened pony from Derpy’s accident. > Rarity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As her eyes closed and thoughts haunted her mind, the stigma of that morning shot and tore the poor girl’s heart and inflamed her mind, leaving the everlasting memories. A wakening from the awful rants with A shriek. The time was 8:30 P.M. with no life in sight, not even the cute fluffy animals that inhabited her home. The world outside was blank, but the sun was up miraculously, But the things in its inhabitants were off. A ll of the path lights dropped pure darkness and the plants were dead and dry. Curios of what the world had to offer, Flutters left her house. The world was an exact replica of the Ponyville she loved, but everything was dark and lifeless. if the world would be mirrored what would “it” look like. “no time to think, gotta find Pinkie,” Fluttershy shook her head, and started to solemnly moap her way over to the bakery. At the back of the bakery, in the same exact spot that she respectively hide the body. i n the first look at the crime scene, it seemed that the blood was all gone, and the sheets that she used, back on the bed. The only thing left was to dig up the hole and see if it was still there. inch by inch, Fluttershy removed the dark earth and stone, awaiting to unveiled the body of Pinkie Pie. Moment by moment A hill started to build by the side of the pit. Just A little ways before the body, she started removing the dirt with A trowel. Flutters didn’t want to disrespect the pony in anyway. Moving all of the dirt from the tear filled divot, the body was gone. The body of the lost friend, Pinkie Pie, had not been buried. Baffled by what had happened to it, or if that nightmare even really exists, sat on the steps, and questioned her actions. Fluttershy pondered over the downpour of unpleasant questions and abrupt feelings. Nothing was adding up, was the world A actual universe, or was it just her insanity getting the best of her. A pink hoof, stained with blood on the end, gently touched her shoulder. “Why are you so sad?!” i t was the pink party pony, but she had blood all over her body and her mane was as red as an apple. Fluttershy pounced Pinkie Pie with haste, knocking her back. Upon this joyous reunion, many things arose and pooped the over thrilled girls reunion. “Pinkie Pie, How are you alive, i thought that you died?” “No, i never died.” “But you banged your head on the floor, are you ok?” “Fluttershy, shut up! why are you lying to me, i never hit anything!” “But i watched you. you died and i buried y-” Pinkie Pie pushed A blood hof against her mouth. “Nope, that never happened, why are you telling me all of this, this, thingies that never happened?” “But they did. I saw it happen and why are you so clueless?” “Well if you are going to be like that, I’ll just go elsewhere.” “But, but, you gotta believe me, it happened, or will happen! i don’t know, i am just confused.” She said in A soft voice; being afraid of what would happen to thier friendship, if you could call it that. “Why don’t you just go talk to Rarity, bye.” The pony bounced away at an unbelievable speed and amazing height. Convinced that she was insane, she decided to make an appointment with Rarity. Less disappointed at the fact that she apparently killed her beloved friend. Not so mad with her actions, she rushed over to the spunky gal’s workshop; maybe she would be working an all-nighter, again. Speeding as fast as her hooves could carry her, she tried to make it thier before the apparent morning. She had arrived after A good ten minutes of breaking the land speed record. The lights to the main work space where on, but her room light was not. She may have been awake or excused from all of the work. Fluttershy crept in the darkness from the street light flooded in, lowering the visibility of Rarity’s art. From upstairs, screams were heard and A nasty argument flared from the pony’s mouth. wondering if it was A good idea to disturb her in the middle of night, shuck her head and stepped towards the stairs. With each step the argument got more fierce and unstable. Fluttershy gasped at the sight of the stairs, they seemed to be endles, step after step of increased height. “No, i have to do it!” she muttered in her head. She climbed the steps as she wanted her friends to die, one at A time, with A long gap of time in between. Fluttershy had arrived at the dreaded hallway, so many doors and only one that had any importance. A ll of the rambling had been coming from Rarity’s room. She opened the door, just A crack to see all of the chaos. i t was Spike, but what would he be doing here. With another minute or two, Fluttershy learned the argument was about, someone stealing jewels??? Spike was trying to calm the enraged mare down, but got hit in the head instead. Fluttershy, too scared to help him, just watched the scene unfold. Spike being angry with the girl, pointed somthing A the girl, and slit her ought open letting the blood fill his hand. Shocked by the purple dragon’s actions, she screamed, and hobbled her way into A corner, waiting for Spike to kill her off next. Peeking back into the room, Spike was gone, but Rarity’s body lay on the floor with her mane and tail cut off. Nothing left to do in the house, she started to make her way to the exit. A t the bottom of the stairwell, sounds of fire could be heard from the dead girl’s workplace. To her surprise it was Spike, and he was igniting all of her cloths, every color and every size. Try to sneak out, without getting noticed by Spike, Fluttershy tripped on some leftover scraps of fabric, and banged her head on the door. Spike, got up and walked over to Fluttershy, and turned on the black lights. Spike finished her or quickly, and let her bleed to death, for the five seconds it took. Spike got cut into A film of blurry shadow, and the thing, whatever it was, walked over to her slowly, as she breathed her last breath, before dying. Fluttershy woke from the unsightly hell hole. Her thought has A long slick laceration over the center of her through. i t was healed A some way, but some flesh was visible. Even A ngle wouldn't want to look at her in this state. Fluttershy walked over to her medicine drawer. it mostly containing medical supplies for the cute pets and animals; it didn’t really help that much. She located the rubbing alcohol, and started to dab some of the liquid to her wounds. Not even bothering to think about how she got it. FS started to wisper some words to A ngle, “oh, its Ok, just A little accident, nothing that you caused. Hehe.” A ngel just tilted his head in confusion. Fluttershy ignored him, threw on one of Rarity’s, “absolutely” “gorgeous”, scarves; it was out of season but just to sparkly. Fluttershy ready to tackle the real world, gave A ngel A big Pinkie hug, and left to help Rarity. i t was midday and every pony was up and about; making the search much more complex and unruly. She tried to avoid sugar cube corner, and every one of her friends. She encountered Spike and Rarity walking together, Fluttershy made no waste to get up with them. “Hey guy, hehe how are you both?” Fluttershy asked in the calmest voice ever. “Oh, well we are just fine; we are just going to get some more gems,” Rarity explained as if it was just A way to pass time. “Hey Fluttershy, do you want to join us? i t will be fun more with you here,” He exclaimed, wanting his words to be heard. “Oh, ok, i guess. Where are we going to get them from?” Fluttershy asked, being innocent as ever. “same as usual,” Rarity was still the sparkly diamond she always was. “Ok let’s go and get this done.” The two friends and the dragon walked all the way to the mine, but the mine was different, all kinds of signs where lying around, all cut up and scorcher; probably Rarity doing something to scare every pony way. This was going to be the bestest time for Rarity ever Fluttershy, Spike and Rarity, walked into the caverns. With them A small red wagon, just big enough to hold A small pony. Spike as usual was pulling the cart. once more, the jewel hunt began. Rarity being the only one that had the power to see the precious rocks, had to tell them where every last one was. Some of witch were high and in the roof of the cavern, Fluttershy flew up, keeping A very close eye on the purple dragon. Spike was mainly just digging up the lower half of the cave, and keeping close to Rarity; occasionally trying to eat A couple of gems. “No Spike, you can’t eat the gems, i need them,” Rarity exclaimed in her normal whiny voice. Spike put the gems down, trying to hide one from her. “That means all of them, Spike,” she roared, her voice bounced off the corridor of the hole, scaring the flying mare and making her fall to her flank. “fine,” Spike dropped the gem into the wagon, and went to unearth some more. Fluttershy still didn’t trust Spike alone with Rarity quite yet, she would even try as hard as she could to keep the wagon and the white pony away from him, taking the gems from him to put them in the cart; not like it would cause A problem in production. Going deeper into the mine tunnel, the amount of sheer beauty was overwhelming; gems sparkled brightly and overwhelmed Rarity and Spike. Spike could barely control himself over all of the exposed jewels; A tasty snack for all that matter to him. “oh my word, look at all of these!?” Rarity yelled making the cave echo once more. Fluttershy fell down on her flank and sat there while Rarity and Spike looked at the wonder of the dark, glamorous cave. Spike drooled more than when he spent A day Rarity, but not that much. Rarity drooled as if the world’s most professional makers of cloths wanted her to make them A new style of dress. Fluttershy just giggled and watched the two stare blamelessly for 5 minutes. “Ok you two, help me get all of these beauties out of here,” the white lovestruck pony instructed. Spike and the guard both went in the same direction, just hooves apart, they walked in perfect sink. there was no way in hell that Spike would be left alone with Rarity.. Minutes turned into hours, the whole caverns visible gem supply was cleared. Now it was all of the hard digging that they had to do to get some results. Rarity used her magic on the cavern to see if there were any jewels worth the trouble to dig up, not that any gem was not acceptable. A s it turned out the largest of all of the gems had been planted in the center column. “Go dig into that pillar it has A huge one in it!” Rarity waltzed to the back of the cove, and relaxed, while the other two scurried to dig it out for her. Fluttershy wore down the top of the stone and Spike dug the lower half ou. With every hit to the roof the cavern dropped A little dust, and whenever the top got touched the whole rock shook. Rarity just ignored the fact that it was happening and took A nap; basking in the beauty of her colorful precious babies. The cave was now, and more than ever unstable, but Fluttershy and Spike didn’t want to let Rarity down, so they pressed on. The pillar withered away at the top, and the bottom loss most of i t’s support. The stack of rock began to lean, and Fluttershy was in the way, to distracted by all of the holes that they had left in the floor. Spike jumped up, and grabbed Flutter’s tail. The pony only flew higher, hitting the ceiling. Spike tried to calm her down and get her to the floor, but Fluttershy was to scared of being attacked and flew around rapidly and aimlessly. Giving up on trying to calm her down, he just let go. accidentally hit the roof once more, harder this time. she fell to the floor, banging her flank on the divits they made. she was A bit disoreanted Spike tugged at her as hard as he could, inching her unconscious body from the way of the newly founded rock fence. He had almost succedded. her bottom hoove got A small cut, probly going to heal up in A matter of A day or two. Rarity awoke from the sheer force of the colission. ”what is going on in here!? What happened to her Spike, ugh, i should have never left you two alone to do work,” she stormed off to one of the walls and punched it; cracking the earth above her and threw out the coves roof. while she was regreating the thing that she had let happen, Spike took out A small box from the bag he brought; an minor medical kit. Spike took the little pre-prepped bag and looked for A band-aid, he only had A very long blue one. Fluttershy was regaining consciousness at this time, and saw Spike messing with something near the wagon. to weak and shaken, she left it to be, and searched for Rarity’s white face. she was nowhere in sight, and Spike had just turned around and started to walked towardes her. Spike had something in his hand, Fluttershy flipped out. Fluttershy tried to run from him, but noticed that her foot was cut badly. if there was that much blood it had to be bad. She thrashed about, trying to get some distance from the dragon, but to no avail. Spike was just 3 hooves away, and was going to her legs. she just gave up and waited to see what Spike would do to her. Spike was whispering something to her, but she couldn’t make it out. Spike then proceeded to touch her leg, it had started to sting. Fluttershy tried to utter the word “stop”, but nothing came out of her little mouth. Spike had just finished covering her cut leg and started to get her off the floor. With just A little ways to go, but no more strength to do it, he colapsed. Fluttershy got up with the help of Spikes remaining strength. Flutters tried to fly, but her wings had been bruised from the fall. when she tried to walk the cut worsened. the only option was to get help from Spike. Spike leaned her against the rocky wall, and dumped the contents of the wagon on to the floor, pissing Rarity off some more. banging her head at the wall with full force at the time, she broke her horn and fragmented skull. blood started to leak from her mane making it A less desirable red color. Spike wanted to help her, but Fluttershy need the help and it was partly his fault she was like this. spike just ignore the pony destroying her beautiful mane, body and the caves roof. It had more cracks than A dry pond the size of pure awesomeness. Spike pushed Fluttershy over the edge of the cart and made sure she wasn’t too uncomfortable. The ceiling of the cove was starting to cave in; Blunt rocks and sharp gems alike. Rarity was getting all kinds of cuts on every part of her body, she just didn’t care, and bashed the wall again. She had been bleeding like this for a while, she had lost all hope of even living. Fluttershy was asking Spike in A small voice, “can we save her, i just don’t want anyone to die.” Spike just looked at the turquoise eyes of the crying girl, and just looked down at the ground, crying just the same. Thier was noway that Spike would let all three of them die. Spike started to run to Rarity with the wagon behind, hoping that he could save them. when they were almost there, A rock, from the cracked ceiling, decided to fall onto the white pony, leaving A red mess all over the floor. Fluttershy started to cry even more, as Spike wheeled them away to the entrance, never looking back. just walking away, in silence and tears. > Derpy in the Hospital > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie and Rarity were dead. Fluttershy only had four friends that were alive and in good health. Pinkie Pie was burid, Rarity was crushed to death or bleed out and Derpy was just derped up. Fluttershy just wanted everyone to stay alive for longer, or forever; if posible. She would plan on visit the gray and golden mare, but didn’t want to disappoint her, and herself. she woke up like evry other night and set out to Derpy waiting place. As long as Derpy was still alive she could live on. Unlike before Derpy was wake and smiling. Fluttershy pushed her face to the glass and looked in. Derpy was with a large blue mare, Princess Luna. luna was siting next to derpy, petting her head. Fluttershy wanted to enter, but didn’t want to interupt. She left home without a word spoken. Hoping she wouldn’t have to speeck with any of her friends The days went by slowly, and with each passing day they became longer and longer. The creepy dreams had stopped for A day or two, but then started to reappear. Alternating from Pinkie Pie and Rarity. She kept getting tormented by the place. After a while the deaths seemed like a normal prosess in lfe and didn’t daze her at all. Seeing the same site over and over would do that to any pony. Fluttershy began to ask Spike to watch the animals more and more often; even asking him to run errans. Nothing he couldn’t handle. Sometimes she would ask Spike to stay overnight, just to keep her awake. Spike was never good at staying up, not really helping. Just like before, she hessitated to tell him what was realy happening. She lay silent next to a cute small dragon. Pondering on the new place she had found. wondering what to call it. > Applejack and Big Macintosh > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy awoke to the light of early morning. She explored her closet for an outfit to wear. On one of her favorite scarfs, there was A note. The note read: “Hey you gonna come on down to the farm? I have A little surprise for ya. If ya don’t come then ya miss it, and i need you most importantly!!!” Applejack from this place want with her? She never even knew Applejack had A key to the house, or was it herself that had left it. Nonetheless, she left the house and waltzed over to the orange mares house, not even trying to get away, or wanting it any different. There were a lot of notes around town pinned to every door, all addressed to Fluttershy. Stating: “Sorry Fluttershy, but you have more important things to worry about,” she giggled A bit, there were so many papers, that one girl would go threw all of the trouble to get her their. Every door and pole had the same note, made the same way. The Apple’s house finally creeped up like A cat and staggered her with fear and despair. it looked normal as ever, except the sky. Finally approaching the acres, she went straight to her little home. The door like many other things, had a note. But this one was different, very different, it read: "Come to my barn, it is wonderful present." She then proceeded to the barn not even caring that her friend cared to waste so much paper. The barns door was opened just A crack and light began to seep in as she made her soft entry. Applejack was towards the back, and was fiddling with something. Applejack proceed to turn around and throw A rope around Fluttershy, pulling her in. "So glad you can make it, did you find you trip here long. Cause i have been waiting for you, A long, long, time," she moaned deeper with every word. "Um. No it was ok. What did you need me for??? I can't really help you with work and stuff like that." Fluttershy's soft voice weekend as Applejack stepped towards her hoove by hoove, with something behind her back. Applejack was looking threw the opened door; the creature was speeding towards the barn. With A quick motion she threw A cleave at an secured rope, cutting it free. The doors had been hit shut and blocked off by a ton of hay and bails. The thing slammed into the door, unrelentingly; it kept it up for A good 10 minutes, before it gave up and ceased to continue. Applejack began to tie Fluttershy’s fore hooves and back legs down to the sides of A hay bail, and pulled up A wagon of sharp knifes, cleaves and scaples. Applejack bashed Fluttershy's head with A slab of wood; she was unconscious for the "examination". AJ began to scurry through her supplies, and pull up A pair long needle and A leather muzzle. She placed the muzzle on Fluttershy and then pinned it down through the leather, and into the hay with the needles. She was now ready to "remove" her from A life of being shy, and have her open up some. Apple took A scalpel in hand and began to poke Fluttershy's nose; barely drawing A spot of blood. Apple had A disturbingly pleased look on her face, one that she would never have. She started to chuckle and giggle at how it had to happen this way and so unnatural. "HeHe, can't believe the shy girl came, and at this hour.what A stupid bi-," The ceiling began to cave in. most of the larger Pieces and stalks, missed both ponies. Every pony and monster was safe from the fallen roof. Applejack took cover with in A pile of hay: leaving Fluttershy in the open, hoping she'd get impaled. Fluttershy was just getting her composure back, and got A little dust and hay in her eyes. The beast started to emerge from the dust and wood unharmed, but with A few torn feathers dripping with blood. It began to walk over to Applejack’s wagon, grabbing A set of blades by the sharp and blunt edge, squeezing them in anger; letting thier metal tips inter her hoove. She then approached Fluttershy and cut all of the ropes off; dripping blood on her hooves and face. She proceeded to walk over to Applejack; A fist full of knifes and blades. She crept towards Apple, and shook her head in disapproval. She proceeded to slit her thought with the 5 knifes and scaples; letting all the blades rest in her neck. Fluttershy's minor cuts healed almost instantly, only leaving scars on the skin. Fluttershy got up and started to wobble her way over to the thing. She wanted to ask it what had happened, and why the ponies were doing what it did? The beast just looked at her and slid A note into her mane. she slipped a tablet of morfen into her mouth, letting her drift into yet another sleep. Fluttershy woke up screaming, scaring Angel whiter than the purest white. "Oh, sorry Angel, it happened again. Should i get Spike to come with me?" Angel just tilted his fluffy head. "Ok, you’re the greatest," she hugged the bunny to the point of combustion. She darted straight for the closet and grabbed her new daily wares; a red scarf and sweater. She gloomily trotted over to Twilight's tree/library, and got Spike for the day. She greeted him with A big Fluttershy hug; gentaly squeezing him with joy. "Hey Fluttershy, are you alright?" "Kinda, i happened again, and i am scared," Flutterhsy lower her voice towards the end. "It's ok Flutter's. I’m here to help you, so what was it this time???" She took A big deep breath, "It was Applejack." Tears began to roll down her eyes. Fluttershy proceeded to hug Spike; she started to tear up even worst, in public. Nopony was watching the display so Spike, being A pro at hiding, led them to an older side of Ponyville, and continued the display. The two sad friends, done with the tears decided to go and face the truth. Fluttershy explained the whole dream to him. "Wow. That is sick; she would never do that, especially to you." Fluttershy just nodded. The rest of the walk was silent and pointless; Fluttershy walked besides Spike. They had arrived and heard screams coming from the house, male and female screams. Spike bursts into the door. Applejack was getting held to the floor, knife to her throught, and Big Macintosh chained to a post, there was nothing to do. Applejack struggled to get free, but just got hurt even worst with every atempt to break free. the stalion assulting apple jack started to hollar, "HEY YOU, GET IN HERE AND CLOSE THE DOOR, NOW!!!" Fluttershy and Spike entered and as told, closed the door. "Ok now that we are all in order let's get real!" As he uttered the last words he threw Apple against the wall and chopped her head clean off; even Big Macintosh was silenced, and horrified. "Ok, sweety your next!" he started to approach Fluttershy. Spike tried to stop him but got hit with the blunt end of the business stick. Big Macintosh started to wiggle his way free and failed miserably. He was now enraged and no longer A man of few words. "Oh hell no, you wanna fuck with the family you have to die by the famly!!!" He grabbed A knife in his mouth and pulled the wooden post from under itself. "If you wanna fuck with her, you have to kill me first!!!" Big Macintosh threw A knife at the other male, slitting his ear; half of it fell to the floor. "What was th-," His words were interrupted by A swift punch to the jaw. Blood of the stallion was now sheed on the property. Big Macintosh told Flutters and Spike to go and get the authorities. Fluttershy started to make her way past them, but it was to later. He proceeded to bit his mane and rip his hair off, along with the skin upon his face. Fluttershy ran to the corner of the room, and just looked at him, Spike and the corpse. "Quess i didn't give you e’nuff time to leave, sorry. I guess we won't need the authorities." Spike just got up and walked to the restroom. He emerged with 5 towels and rags, all dampened with soap and water. Spike started to clean up the crying pony of the hellish blood of the muderers. He then gave two to Spike, and used the last for himself. Spike and Fluttershy just left, not A word said, not even A small bit of happiness in their hearts or even lives at the time. Why did she have to take Spike with her, it would end bad for her and him either way. Even Big Macintosh would be sad. "Yup, better get the cops, hey lil' fella, can you get them for me?" Spike just nodded and walked out with his face as sad as Fluttershy's. "Why did you have to do that?" "I have no clue what got over me, I’m sorry that we got you involved in this deary." Fluttershy began to cry. she wallowed in the corner and never even considering to look up at the carcasses, or even Macintosh, for that matter. A while later A set of big colts walked into the home. both were shocked at this horrific sight; one proceeded to cover his eyes and the other vomited on to the wood floor. "Oh what is wrong with you? What would you have had done to you, to do this??? I am shocked!!!" He proceeded to vomit once more. "Could we continue this outside please?" As the man had asked they all emerged into the light of day, steering clear of the scene. "Ok, i am going to have to ask you to put you sadle bag down, and to go onto either side of the door, please" He did as the man had asked. The less squeamish stallion patted him down thoroughly; not missing an inch of this body. "Ok, he's clean! Now we can begin." Fluttershy was escorted to the police department and asked all sorts of questions. She told the truth for most of them, lying acasonaly. They proceeded to do the same for Spike, Spike was just terrified and would occasionally freak out. "No, I didn't do any of that, that is, ughhhhh," Spike had just given up on reasoning with the men. For Apple's big brother, he just pleaded guilty of killing the murderer. He would be sentenced to death, in the most inhumane way possible. It was to be A private execution, no visitors, and no body to be sent to the family. As for Applejack's it was sent back to the farm and A funeral was to be held in A week or so. Fluttershy got walked home by Spike once again, and this time words had been exchanged. small talk, and nothing else. "Um, Spike, could you spend the night with me, just this once?" Spike looked at her in confusion, "What for, you have Angel and all of the animals that you take care of?" She started to fiddle her hoof, "I just don't want to be left alone after that. so could you stay with me, please?" Spike began to think it over, "Ok i guess." Fluttershy immediately shot towards him hugging him while rolling on the floor. Fluttershy released him from her grasp, "Sorry Spike, are you ok?" Spike caught his breath for A few seconds, "Hehe, its ok Fluttershy and i'm fine. it was only A hug." Fluttershy let out A small giggle, and hugged him once more, just for good measures. The two slightly happy set went on to Fluttershy's cottage. Spike was sleeping next to Angel, breathing hard on him. all three of them, gloomy and tuckered out, fell asleep, reminiscing on the events as usual.
