Another FlutterDash story written by me and my friend Bree Sprankle! Hope you enjoy!
Fluttershy's life is horrible, constantly getting forced into relationships that she doesn't want to be in, her life is just miserable and the colt he she is with now is the worst yet. Her life is horrible until she re-unites with an old friend.
Fluttershy sat at her kitchen table and cried. The bruises started to blossom out of the red marks on her legs and neck. Empty beer bottles littered the floor and the smell of frozen dinner still lingered in the air. Jack doesn’t like his dinners cold. But he did love his beer. And when he has had enough of it, he likes to “release”. Fluttershy touched the bruises gently and whimpered. She thought about the bruises in the…other places… Just then Jack stumbled into the apartment, clearly sober and not happy about it.
“Lets go babe…” Jack barked, causing Fluttershy to jump a little and wipe away her tears.
“W-where are we going?” she whispered in her timid little voice.
Jack lit a cigarette. “Just somewhere…” He came closer to her and leaned over her shoulder, his lips touching her ear. “Don’t forget your I.D, I want some beer.” He said, running his hoof up her leg, causing the shy Pegasus to shutter. He stood up and walked over to the door and waited for Fluttershy. She got up and winced at the pain in her abdomen and followed slowly behind Jack. When they reached the main entrance of the apartment complex, Jack grabbed Fluttershy’s ass and she flinched again. “Let’s go to the bar, I want to see the band that’s playing.” He seemed lost in thought. “That bitch is HOT” he mumbled, referring to the lead singer. Fluttershy just watched the ground, feeling increasingly bad about her self for the thousandth time. She knew she couldn’t possibly be prettier than the lead singer. The band is all Jack ever talked about. The lead singer WAS very pretty. She had a rainbow mane and a sky-blue coat. Her name…was Rainbow Dash.
When Fluttershy and Jack arrived at the bar, the crowds were already beginning to gather. Smoke loomed in the air from tons of cigarettes and Fluttershy coughed. Jack led Fluttershy to a table close to the stage and sat down. The table was sticky and Fluttershy winced before she sat down. The bar was small and packed with ponies. They talked and laughed, some at different more intoxicated then others. The bartender looked busy, trying to keep up with the angry bunch. She was an orange pony, with a blonde mane and the freckles on her cheeks stood out. Jack leaned over to Fluttershy.
“Can you get me a beer?” He asked as Fluttershy stood up slowly and walked toward the bar, quietly excusing every time she accidentally bumped into someone. When she got up to the bar she heard music starting from behind her, the concert was starting.
~
Dash looked out at the sea of faces from the stage. This is a bigger rush then flying any day, but one caught her eye. Fluttershy stared back in amazement, and looked down, blushing hard.
“She looked at me...” Fluttershy thought to herself. Dash thought to herself before she leaned over to the bass player.
“Let me take this song.” She said, causing the bass player to just shrug in agreement and gave her the microphone. “This song is for the pretty pony at the back table! This is one of my favorites...” Dash said. Fluttershy looked around and realized her and Jack were the only ones sitting at a table, causing her to blush even harder. Jack looked at Fluttershy and Dash in amazement.
“She's a fillyfooler!” He slurred.
~
When the concert ended, Jack pulled Fluttershy up to the front to get Dash's autograph. Dash jumped off the stage and talked to a pink pony that seemed to be her roadie. Jack interrupted them.
“Can you sign this?” Jack asked breathlessly and shoved a piece of paper in Dash's face. Dash assessed Jack with a look of disgust and looked the paper.
“I need a pen...” She barked at him. He jumped and searched for a writing utensil. Fluttershy sighed and pulled a pen from her long, thick pink mane and stared at the floor and gave the pen to Rainbow. Dash's glare turned into a smile.
“Hey...” Dash said, waiting for Fluttershy to look back up at her. “Thanks for the pen.” She said, still smiling.
“So...do you like...fuck other girls?” Jack interrupted, clearly plastered. The smile disappeared off Rainbow Dash's face and the scowl was back.
“Wouldn't you like to know asshole.” She spat and shoved the paper back. Jack just laughed and hiccuped.
“So...can I like...watch?” he slurred, Fluttershy was trying to hold him up with her weak hooves. Dash gritted her teeth. Jack realized that he was leaning on Fluttershy through his drunken haze and shoved her.
“Don't touch me, bitch, you're gay and wont let me watch!” He slurred again. Dash lept on him.
“Don't you fucking touch her!” She screamed. The bar fell silent as if anticipating the fight. Dash punched Jack in the face, apparently this sobered him and he shoved her off and grabbed a bottle off the table and broke the edge and pointed the jagged edge at Dash. She panicked for a moment before she heard a bottle break behind her.
“Dash, Catch!” The bartender yelled and tossed the broken bottle to her. Dash caught it up, ready to fight. Fluttershy put her hoof up on Jack's shoulder.
“Maybe we should just leave.” she whispered. Jack whirrled around and slapped her across the mouth, causing Fluttershy to let out a cry as she fell to the floor, holding her cheek and sobbing to herself.
“We can leave after I finish this bitch!” Jack yelled. When he turned around, there was a fire in Dash's eye. She grabbed him by the mane and slammed his head into the table, the bottle fell from his hoof and shattered as it made contact with the floor. Dash leaned over the sticky table to face Jack and pulled out her pocket knife. She flipped it open and his eyes widened as they were reflected in the silver, seraded blade. Dash put the edge to his throught.
“If I EVER see you in this bar again, I wont be so gentile.” she growled, flipping her blade away. She walked over to Fluttershy. “Come on...” She said gently, extending her hoof to her. Fluttershy took it and Dash helped her up. She looked at Jack, laying on the floor, crying quietly and shuttering. Dash led her out the back door and they walked together into the cold night.
They walked for several minutes when Fluttershy finally broke the silence.
“W-where...um...where...h-how am I g-going to get home? She stuttered. Dash sighed, her breath danced in a cloud for a moment before vanishing. She stopped walking and looked at Fluttershy.
“You don't have to go back ya know, I saw your bruises...” Dash said, causing Fluttershy to look down at her hooves and let her long mane fall in front of her as she attempted to hide her black and blue shoulders. She only burst into tears again.
“I...I...I...don't want to g-go back! B-but I have no w-where else to go!” she sobbed. Dash took her by the hooves and smiled.
“I have somewhere you can go.” She said softly.
~
The cottage was small, but homely. There was a table in the kitchen and a few mismatching chairs.
“How long has this place been abandoned?” questioned Fluttershy, observing the crumbling plaster in some spots on the walls.
“I don't know” Dash replied. She walked into the living room and plopped on an old couch. Dust poofed up into the air, causing her to cough. “i crash here sometimes, hence all the crap lying around. This is my home away from home.” Dash beamed at Fluttershy. “And now it's yours...” Dash said, Fluttershy looked around the room, as if searching for something to break the peace that had settled around everything. There was only a radio, unplugged and dusty on the kitchen table. No forced colt friends, No abuse, only comfort. She sank down next to Dash and cried again. Dash looked startled at first, but then pulled Fluttershy closer and held her close as she sobbed into her strong shoulder.
“W-Wh-Why a-are y-you..b-b-bieng so n-n-nice t-to me? Y-y-you..d-...don't even...k-know me!” Fluttershy cried. Dash smiled and wiped her tears away.
“Because I like you...” She said, as if it were obvious. “Remember at flight camp? When you were having trouble flying and I helped you? And when I stood up for you against those bullies?” Dash said, Fluttershy's eyes went wide as memories flooded into her head and she blushed hard.
'I-its been so long...” Fluttershy trailed off as she searched Rainbow's eyes for something she wished was there, the spark. The one she had fealt way back when they were fillys but was always too embarrassed to show. But suddenly, it was there, a spotlight among violet colored eyes. Dash felt it and blushed a little as well, she looked down, suddenly nervous.
“i-i'll get you something to clean off your lip.” She said quickly as she darted out of the room. Fluttershy licked her lip and tasted blood. She had completely forgot about the bar, she had forgotten about everything for a minute. Did Dash feel the same way? Or was it just her imagination that tended to have a bad habit of overreacting? Dash returned with a wet wash cloth and much to Fluttershy's surprise, She was blushing. Dash sat and started to gently clean Fluttershy's lip. Fluttershy watched Dash's eyes as she carefully dabbed at her wound. She tried to ignore how close Rainbow was sitting next to her, and how close her face was because of the pitiful lighting. But when Dash looked up at Fluttershy, she couldn't look away. Sea blue searched fire violet.
“Does it hurt? Your lip?” Dash whispered. Fluttershy nodded, her eyes not leaving Dash's. Dash leaned forward. Testing the waters. Their eyes never moving. Dash closed the gap and kissed Fluttershy tenderly. Fluttershy tensed at first, but then relaxed and sank deeper into the kiss. When Dash pulled away, there were no tears in Fluttershy's eyes.
“Nopony has ever been that gentile...that...compassionate to me. Fluttershy said. She remembered being bit, scratched, tied up. But never treated like that.
“I will NEVER hurt you...” Dash said, closing her eyes. “I always loved you, and I always will.” Dash said, Fluttershy was shocked, speechless. Somepony as beautiful as Dashie loved her. Dash opened her eyes, unsure. Fluttershy watched her, unsure if she was dreaming or not.
“What am I going to tell Jack?” Fluttershy questioned, not wanting to ever go back. Something ignited in Dash's eyes, but she restrained it, knowing it would upset the timid mare if she exploded.
“That asshole isn't going to bother you anymore. We will go to your place tomorrow and get your stuff.” Dash said evenly, gauging Fluttershy's reaction. Fluttershy looked down, uncomfortable.
“c-can you please not swear when your with me?” Fluttershy whispered. Dash's heart melted at how cute and innocent Fluttershy was.
“Of course I won't. I'm sorry. My sailor mouth doesn't know when it's around a lady.” She said, smiling and Fluttershy giggled.
Fluttershy dragged her last box out into the living room of the tiny apartment. Dash stood against the wall, watching Jack, watching Fluttershy. She glared at him and he glared back, but kept his distance.
“Do you want me to take that heavy box to the movers?” Dash asked Fluttershy.
“Yes, Thank you.” Fluttershy replied. Dash picked up the box and walked out. Fluttershy continued to tape the rest of the boxes closed. While she was bent over, she felt a hoof spank her, Fluttershy shot up and spun around. Jack's breath reeked of stale whiskey. He leaned closer to Fluttershy.
“You think you can leave me?” he whispered menacingly. Tears welled in Fluttershy's eyes.
“I...I...I...” she stuttered and gasped when her back touched the wall. He had backed her into the corner. He leaned over and nibbled on her ear and neck. His hooves traveled over her body, she didn't like it. She squirmed but he just pushed her against the wall harder. His kisses grew aggressive and he bit her ear hard, Fluttershy yelped but Jack shoved a bandana into her mouth. She stopped squirming and just sobbed, knowing that she was too weak to fight back. His hooves were growing bolder and moving south. Fluttershy shook with sobs. The sound of wood splintering made Jack jump. The apartment door that was locked when Dash went outside was now laying on the floor with a hoof mark in the center of it. Fluttershy fell to her knees and spit out the bandanna. Dash stood in the doorway. Her eyes locked on her target, blazing with anger. She snarled at Jack and shot across the room and gripped him by the throat. She slammed him into the wall, plaster crumbling behind him.
“what.do.you.think.you.are.doing!?” Dash growled. Jack gargled, unable to breathunder Dash's grip. She dropped him and he laid on the ground in a miserable heap. Dash kicked him hard between the legs. He screamed in agony. Dash bent over and shoved the bandana in his mouth.
“oh, don't scream, I like it when they're quiet.” Dash snarled sarcastically. “And to think you didn't learn your lesson the first time, I'll just have to kick your ass again!” She laughed and kicked him again. “GET THE FUCK UP YOU DISCUSTING EXCUSE FOR A PONY! YOU MAKE ME SICK!” she screamed and dragged him off to the kitchen and threw him into a chair. It rocked back and balanced on two legs. Dash sulked over and put her back hoof on it, slamming forward, jarring the terrified Jack. He dared not move. Dash reached over to the kitchen table and grabbed Jack's lighter and cigarettes.
“You like to smoke Jack?” She asked with a deadly calm threat. She held the lighter close to his mane and flipped it open. The ends of Jack's mane singed and the heat made his eyes water. Dash pulled the lighter away and lit a cigarette. “It's a filthy habit, isn't it? Well, I was thinking of quitting anyway” she said,still deathly calm. “if I hear this chair creak, I'll break your neck, understood?” she said as she took her back hoof off the chair, she walked over to the fridge and returned with a bottle of hot sauce. She put it on the table and took out her knife and stuck it in the wooden table next to the hot sauce and put the lighter next to it. “By the look of Fluttershy, I can tell you like it rough. So we're ganna have a little fun” she evilly smiled at him. Jack's eyes widened and tears streamed down his face and he shook his head quickly. Dash grabbed his face and leaned in close. “if you scream, you loose” she chuckled softly. “if you're good, i'll let you keep one of your eye's sight...” she took the cigarette from her mouth and flicked the ashes onto the floor. She looked at Jack for a moment and held the cigarette up to his face. He held his hooves up to protect his face but Dash grabbed them and wrenched them behind his back with one hoof as the other still held the cigarette. She laughed “Now you REALLY don't want me to find some rope.” she said and she dragged the cigarette from his chin to the sensitive flesh on his neck. She stopped and pressed it into his skin. Jack thrashed and sobbed. Dash backed up and Jack fell to the floor, tipping the chair over. Dash kicked the chair away and sat on Jack's chest, pinning his arms. She tipped the table so that the hot sauce slid off the table and into her hooves. She unscrewed the cap and leaned in close to Jack. His screams were just muffled by the bandana that was stuffed in his mouth. She grabbed his eye lid and held the bottle close.
“mhhhhhhhhh” Jack attempted to say something but couldn't
“I'm going to count to three.” she whispered in his ear. He thrashed against Dash but she was much stronger.
“one...” She whispered, He stared at her, too terrified to even move.
“two...” she began to tip the bottle, a drop of deep red fire just clung to the lip of the bottle.
“three!” the drop let go and plummeted down. The scream from Jack was horrible. He thrashed and Dash put her knee on his chest, cutting off the wailing. She took the knife and ran it lightly up the inside of Jack's back leg. He didn't move, he was too afraid to. He sobbed like a baby. He was totally broken down. Dash savored it.
“You think I haven't dealt with ass wipes like you before? Last colt who tried TRIED too kick my ass is now BLIND!” she took her knee off his chest. “You are just lucky I don't have any bleach here, my last “coltfriend” found out I have some pretty unique ways of using it. Too bad I only had hot sauce...” Jack was just curled up in a ball, sobbing, Dash kicked him again. “you make me sick, next time I see you anywhere near my Fluttershy or any other filly again, I will chop off you dick and staple it to your forehead and make you into a unicorn! Do I make myself clear!?” Dash said, Jack didn't dare answer, he was rocking back and forth, his good eye glazed over and his other eye was swollen shut. “I SAID DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?” Dash roared, Jack jumped.
“yes...” Jack whimpered. Afraid any sort of attitude would cost him his other eye...or worse.
“Get into the bedroom and stay there until we leave! I don't want Fluttershy seeing you, you miserable piece of shit!” Dash snarled and Jack scrambled to his hooves and ran into the bedroom ,slamming the door behind him. Dash took a deep breath and put the hot sauce back. She set the chair upright again and took the lighter and knife. Fluttershy stirred quietly on the floor. Dash gentally scooped Fluttershy up in her hooves, she was VERY lightweight. Dash just held her in her hooves like a baby. Fluttershy opened her eyes and just started to cry.
“I..I'm so sorry Dashie! I didn't like that. I will only love you! He is mean. It's not what it looked like! You probably don't love me anymore...I understand.” Dash bent her head down and kissed her, silencing her.
“I know you didn't like it, and I will ALWAYS love you. Don't ever think otherwise. What he did was wrong and he knew it, I shouldn't have left you alone with him. Now lets get home.” Dash said, setting Fluttershy down and picking up the last box.
“ummm...Dashie?” Fluttershy timidly asked. “what...did you do to him? if... you don't mind me asking.” Dash thought for a moment
“He wont be bothering anypony anymore, I made sure of that.”
The sweet smell of amazingly cooked food drifted from the kitchen. Fluttershy stood at the stove, cooking away as Rainbow dash was dusting for Fluttershy. The cottage was lively with the sounds of Fluttershy's soft, heart melting humming as she hummed to the tune that was being produced from the dusty radio. Lights have been replaced in all the rooms, lighting up the cottage. Dash was just unpacking Fluttershy's things. They had spent the day cleaning the cottage, fixing the walls and doing basic house maintenance. The two now sat at the table, giggling and eating. Fluttershy being a much, much more skinny mare ate very little as Dash devoured her food seeing as she was so active.
“So..how did you meet Jack?” Dash said, suddenly growing serious. Fluttershy frowned down at her plate.
“we met after my other coltfriend left me... He came to my rescue. He said he loved me. It wasn't until after Christmas when he started to get mean...i got him that lighter...” Fluttershy said peeking up at the lighter that sat on the table and glistened in the light. The engraving on it read “with love from Fluttershy.” Dash stared at it wide-eyed.
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take it. I just didn't...” Dash said before she was interrupted.
“No, I WANT you to have it” Fluttershy said, unusually bold . Her big eyes never leaving Dash's. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Before I knew you, my life was awful. She rose from her seat, taking the dirty dishes to the sink. “there's something in want to show you...” Fluttershy said timidly, she walked over to one of the boxes and pulled out a diary. It's cover was covered in butterflies and flowers. She flipped it to the last page and Dash leaned in, Fluttershy's writing was just an almost flawless cursive and began reading...
“Dear diary, or to whoever cares. What you see in front of you is, or, rather Was me, ever since I was a little filly, my life was full of darkness and pain. Constantly being bullied and tormented, I've been called ugly, stupid, awkward, scrawny, weak, earth pony want to be. I have been told that if I killed myself, i'd be doing every pony a favor. If I just killed myself. The world would be a better place, and what you see in front of you was me, now hanging from a rope, if you are reading this, yes, I killed myself. I ended all my misery, ,my life was just so full of darkness and evil. I'm hated, am I ugly? Yes, I am, I am all of those things that ponies said I was. I am just nothing, I am just a waste of a pony. Who even cares? I have been spit on, hit, insulted, and just, everything. And when I fell from cloudsdale, I thought it would all go away, start fresh, just start a new life, maybe one that is full of happiness, but I was wrong, down on the ground I was still bieng bullied and tormented, but the worst part, was the colts, they things they did to me, I never even liked any of them, they all forced me into a “relationship” but all they really wanted me for was my body and the fact that I was shy and sensitive and an easy target. They all have abused me, hit me, spat on me, “touched” me, the things they have just treated me like trash. But, that's all I am right? Just worthless trash? Ugliness streams through my now now dead veins. Yes I have committed suicide. And I have left this note to tell you why. I hated myself and I had no point in living on, nothing to live for, I've been treated like trash my whole life because I am trash, I'm worthless...for me? My life was awful, every minute was an hour, every hour a day, every day a week , every week was a month and every month was a year. I sunk into a new dimension, one that is dark, one that is ignored, one that can't be heard, one that ponies don't believe, one that ponies fear without realizing it...i call it...the dimension of reality, a place where nothing seems real, but, it's as real as real can get, A dark, twisted, evil dimension, and the worst part is , I lived in it, but now its over, I ended my trashy life, do I have any regrets? Well actually yes, but just one...just one pony I used to know, and she was the world to me, her name? Was Rainbow Dash, she was the only one who actually understood me, my one and only friend, I..loved her, I wanted her as my mare friend, I haven't seen her in years...but, why would she ever want me? I'm trash, ugly, worthless, stupid, awkward, just everything bad you can think of...that's me. So rainbow dash...if you ever read this, I want you to know...i love you...
Sincerely,
Fluttershy.
Dash stared wide-eyed at the diary for a moment and then looked up at Fluttershy.
“this...note is dated yesterday:” she whispered, wiping tears from her eyes
“i wrote that at the kitchen table before Jack came home to go to your concert.” Fluttershy said, sitting next to Dash. “I was going to hang myself and leave that note when we came home. But, you saved my life Dashie, thank you.” Fluttershy said passionately as Dash wept. “Don't cry Dashie...” Fluttershy whispered softly as she now wiped Rainbow's tears.
“I was going to do it” Dash said as she got up and walked over to a cubbort and returned with a note that had a poem on it. “i was ganna do it, I didn't want to preform, but my manager found me before I could.” She sat next to Fluttershy and showed her the note. Rainbow Dash's writing was messy, yet unique. The poem read
“The sky is crying,that's my que to run, through the pain and the falling stars and i'll be gone, far away from here, this endless road to eternal sleep
-Dash”
she set the note on the table with shaking hooves. “we saved each other” Dash said, starting to smile.
“you are my hero” Fluttershy said, smiling. They stared into each other's eyes. As if they could see each other's soals. Suddenly Rainbow looked away akwardly.
“I...uh...got you something...” She said as she got up and returned with a small box and set it in front of Fluttershy. “well...open it” Rainbow said as Fluttershy ripped off the silver wrapping paper that surrounded the small white box, Fluttershy looked up at Dash, almost as if she needed approval to open it. Dash just smiled and nodded, Fluttershy pulled the top off and inside, two tiny, diamond earrings glittered back at Fluttershy. Tears began pooling in her eyes.
“T-They're beautiful” she whispered, Dash took Fluttershy's hooves in her own.
“You trust me, right?” Dash said, causing a nod from Fluttershy, knowing what Dash was going to do. Dash got up and returned with a needle and a bottle of peroxide. “This will only hurt for a moment, I promise” Dash said as she took the needle and one of the earrings and poked the needle through Fluttershy's ear. Fluttershy flinched but the thrill of Dash's touch was soothing enough to help the pain and Rainbow kissed Fluttershy's newly pierced ear as she did the same to the opposite ear. After both earrings were in, Dash brought a little mirror over to Fluttershy and she looked at her reflection, She smiled and Dash appeared from behind her in mirror and kissed both of Fluttershy's ears and then her cheeks and then Dash lightly grabbed Fluttershy's head and turned it so it was facing her as she pressed her lips onto the little lips of which belonged to the one she loved and for the first time, Fluttershy took it up a notch, and kissed back with pure passion. The sun sank over the horizon and the moon showed through the window, casting an angelic light on the two ponies as they curled up together on the couch, leading them into the night.
Fluttershy awoke next to Rainbow Dash, still tingling from the touch of the night before, Fluttershy smiled and blushed at the thought of it and sat up and stretched, invigorated rather than humiliated. Rainbow Dash awoke and smiled and began to brush Fluttershy's long, messy hair.
“Hey beautiful.” Rainbow said, causing a strong blush to form on Fluttershy's cheeks, Usually when Fluttershy woke up, she bathed and went out right away before the colt could wake up but this time was different, she happily sighed and snuggled back up next to Dash. Dash smiled.
“I feel like I should have taken you on a proper date before we...uh...defiled this couch.” Dash said as she giggled. She sat up and stretched her limbs before looking at Fluttershy with adoring eyes. “You're so beautiful.” She said and got up. Fluttershy watched her, still sleepy from the couch. Dash took some money from a shelf. Fluttershy was confused.
“Where are we going?” She asked, getting up and brushing her mane.
“To breakfast” Rainbow replied, looking outside. Her mane was flattened on one side from sleeping, she shook her head and her mane stuck out in all directions, Fluttershy smiled and began smoothing it down for her.
~
The diner was crowded and Fluttershy winced at all the ponies crowding the counter.
“C-cant we go somewhere less...crowded?” Fluttershy squeaked. Dash grabbed her hoof and led her into the diner.
“Shhhh, it's okay” Dash replied soothingly. “You won't know anypony here, I come here all the time.” She assured as they sat down. Dash looked across the diner and her eyes grew wide. Fluttershy saw this and turned to see what Dash was looking at. Dash shook her head and put on a nonchalant face on as a familiar pony drifted closer. Fluttershy could feel the tension radiating from across the table. The pony approached the table. The pony had a purple coat and yellow mane, her green eyes locked with hostility on Dash.
“Hey there Dashie!” The pony said. Dash winced but kept her cool.
“Hello...Sunshine” Rainbow replied drily. She never looked at Sunshine, just keeping her eyes locked on Fluttershy. Sunshine looked over at Fluttershy with a cynical glare.
“Aren't you going to introduce me to your...” Fluttershy looked down, letting her mane fall in her face and she slowly sunk in her seat, until she was pretty much under the table, hating the attention. “friend...” Sunshine finished, saying the word like she was licking a lollipop. She looked back at Dash.
“That's Fluttershy, and you can go away now” Dash replied, She finally looked up at Sunshine.
“Now there's those pretty eyes I remember.” Sunshine said, agitating the mood. “So how's my little Rainbow?” She whispered, the statement was full of a double meaning. Fluttershy heard this and got back up in her booth, hitting her head on the table, and rubbed her head sheepishly. Dash looked at Fluttershy and panicked but then put her calm mask back on.
“I'm fine, we are in the middle of breakfast, so, you can leave now. Bye.” She said, hurrying her away with her tone. The purple pony only smiled.
“So, I have a coltfriend now.” She said, not letting the conversation die. “But how could my little Dashie? She was so...” Sunshine looked at Fluttershy and whispered in her ear. “...good to me...” she purred in Fluttershy's ear. Dash shot up, completely fed up with what Sunshine was doing.
“Go away! You were just a one night stand. I can barley even remember that night.” Dash said, but Sunshine just laughed and made no move to leave.
“But I was young and foolish, wasn't I? But you were the lead singer of a rock band, and the darerape drugs are a hell of a thing aren't they? “ Sunshine chucked softly, “I threw myself at you, boy was I glad you were ready to catch me.” Sunshine said before Dash back-hooved her. Instead of starting a fight, Sunshine just laughed. “Nice hit beautiful, glad your still as feisty as you were before. Dash narrowed her eyes and snarled.
“Fuck off Sunshine! I'm sure your just as much of a whore now as you were in flight school!” Dash said, Sunshine's smile disappeared and she walked away, Defeated. Fluttershy timidly sat up more.
“W-who was she?” She asked quietly, looking down at the table. Dash's hoof gentally moved under Fluttershy's chin and brought it up and kissed her. When she pulled away, she kept her forehead on Fluttershy's and looked her in the eyes.
“A mistake...” she whispered “A horrible mistake.”
After breakfast, Dash took Fluttershy to the movies. They bought the snacks and tickets and walked to the back seats of the theater.
“What are we seeing?” Fluttershy asked.
“Ponyville massacre.” Dash replied, trying to hide a smile. She knew Fluttershy would be TERRIFIED of the movie. But that was part of the plan. As the movie started, Dash put her hoof around Fluttershy and let her hide her face in her chest. She smiled and kissed the top of Fluttershy's head. As the movie progressed, Dash got board of the movies as a pony on the screen was thrown into a lake, Rainbow leaned over and kissed Fluttershy's neck. Fluttershy looked up at Rainbow and lightly smiled, she knew what Dash was thinking. The back seats were defiantly a good choice, and they even stayed for the next show.
~
It was dark by the time Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash left the theater. Their breath lingered in clouds among the cold air, and Dash pulled Fluttershy closer to keep her warm as they walked back to the cottage.
“I don't think I've ever had that much fun on a date before. Then again, I don't think I've ever been on an actual date. Fluttershy said as she squinted in the night, They stood in darkness due to the street light being out. Dash lit a cigarette, the flame of the lighter danced in the darkness before Rainbow flicked the lighter closed.
“I have never loved anypony as much as I love you.” Dash said as she smiled. A rustling broke the silence and Dash's ears twitched and flicked over to the direction in which the sound came from. It was an alley, there was a sound of crying. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked at eachother confused before the kind one took a step closer to the alley.
“um...excuse me?” Fluttershy whispered and took a few steps closer. “are you okay?” she asked, standing right in front of the alley. Before she could move or blink, something darted out of the alleyway and into at her, she felt like she had been punched in the chest, but when she looked down at it, she put her hoof on her chest and it felt warm and wet, suddenly black dots began to dance in her vision. She looked over at Dash with wide eyes and then she fell to the ground. Dash shot over to her and fell to her knees, she didn't cry. She was too numb, no, she was cold. It felt like a frost had settled in her heart and sank it's teeth in deep. Something in Dash snapped and she looked up at the assailant, his eyes wide and the knife dripping in his hoof.
“Big...fucking...mistake” Dash said as she glared up at the pony, he stepped out of the alley and he stood there, Dash's eyes adjusted to the darkness and he stood there, a patch over his eye and he spit down at them.
“An eye...for an eye...” he said, pulling a gun and putting the barrel to his temple, he squeezed the trigger and Dash stared in disbelief, she heard the blood from the walls of the alley slowly drip.
“NO!” she creamed, getting to her hooves. “YOU MOTHER FUCKING COWERED!” she screamed as she stood over the lifeless Jack. “IT'S NOT FAIR!” she wailed. “SHE WAS MINE AND YOU FUCKING TOOK HER!” she screamed and started kicking the corpse. “AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO FACE ME!” She stumbled back over to Fluttershy and leaned down and touched her cheek, to her surprise, Fluttershy's eyes slowly opened. Dash was speechless as Fluttershy tried to lift a limp hoof up and touched it to Dash's cheek.
“D-don't leave me here alone” Dash whispered as she looked down at Fluttershy.
“you will NEVER be alone” Fluttershy managed to get out before her hoof fell from Dash's cheek. “I promise.” she whispered
“Fluttershy, can you hear me?” Fluttershy was still laying limp in her hooves, a small smile on her lips and the little diamond earrings glittered in the dim light. “Oh Celestia...she's...gone...”Dash sobbed, She cried until the paramedics arrived 10 minutes later.
Dash sat in the hospital, listening to Fluttershy's heart monitor. It was flat-lined for the tenth time that night. Her face was sore from crying so much and she listened to the doctors in Fluttershy's room, until she heart faint, irregular beeps again. She didn't sit by Fluttershy. She couldn't, they said their goodbyes long ago. She sat alone in the waiting room, everything seemed gray and lifeless, it was almost certain that Fluttershy wouldn't make it. A pen in Dash's mouth and a piece of paper in front of her, she stared at the blank paper, she flicked the lighter on and off and ran a hoof over the engraving. “With love from Fluttershy” she looked down at the paper and the words seemed to come as easy as the tears stained the paper and she began to write.
“Fluttershy sat at her kitchen table and cried...”
