//-------------------------------------------------------// Atleast I die happy -by kingqball- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// That faithful day //-------------------------------------------------------// That faithful day It was a dark and stormy night (it seems I forgot to leave my cliche at the door...) with somepony walking by the near the everfree forest. You take a closer look and see that he is...YOU. Somepony walks up next to you. You turn to your head to see a white pony wearing a black cloak, obscuring their face. Looking back at the pony in the storm you realize that you are reliving one of your memories. You smile to your self and say "Atleast it's a happy one." "Those rotten, good for nothing..." You are interrupted in your little rant by a sudden gust of wind, causing you to land on on your broken wing. "SWEET CELESTIA, THAT HURTS LIKE A MOTHERBUCKER!" You yell out from the pain of having it bent to far...again. After having taking your sweet time getting back on four hoofs there is a loud POP as your wing pops back into place for the second time after hitting that tree. "AHHHH.......I need to stop agreeing to those bets..." You say to your self. It had been a hour or so and you start to get angry at yourself. " Why did I agree to fly so far out of ponyville. It's taking me forever to get back, thanks to the fact I broke my wings...again" you said hanging your head low at the end, remembering some the many times it happened, albeit only a few were from not from your clumsiness. Soon after, the lights of some ponies house could be seen up ahead. "finally, civilization!" You yelled and with the prospect of warmth you run towards it. You stop at the door catching your breath for a moment before your not on the door. You look to the right and see a pink mane disappear form the window, you look back at the door just in time to see it pulled open. "Your hurt! Come inside so I can help you" Said the pink maned yellow Pegasus as she grabbed your hoof and pulled you in. She began looking at your messed up wing while she pulled chunks of bark and twigs out of it. "Oh no, you broke it. I'll be right back" She said with some worry in her voice before running up the stairs. She came back down with a white box with a red cross on it. After opening it up and pulling out some splints she walked over to you and gave you a towel to bite on. "Sorry,but...this is gonna hurt" she said with a hint of displesure as she put her hooves on your wing. "WAIT!" you yell "I've had my wing set too many times. Can you just knock me out before you do it?" "Oh...umm...ok" she said as she walked back to the box. She came back with a cloth and put it over your muzzle. You are surprised but then begin to feel sleepy. You fall to the side, asleep, and hit your head on a table. She flinchs when you head your head. "oops." She said before she went to fixing up your wing and checking on your head. You wake up and find yourself on the floor and find your wing in a splint...along with a massive headache. After picking your self of the floor you go and sit on the couch. Looking around you see that it is sunny out now, and your caretaker in the kitchen with a bunny. Now that things were calmer you can get a good look at her. All you can see his how beautiful she is, the way she walks, how her mane falls on her head, and her voice it makes you want to run up and give her a hug. You look down at her flank to see her cutie mark and only one thought went through your mind. You shake the thought out of your head and rub your temples, trying to lessen the head ache. After a few minutes she came came back out and saw that you. "Oh your awake. I'll go get you some food." she said heading back towards the kitchen. When she comes back she gives you some food she made just for you. "Thanks...umm..." "Fluttershy" She says in a quite voice "Thanks fluttershy" You say before scarfing it down hungrily, on account of missing dinner because of the bet and it feels like lunch time too. After you finish eating you see Fluttershy about to walk out the door. "fluttershy wait." She stops and looks at you. "Do you need help with anything?" "You don't hav..." Interrupting her you say "But I want to. It's the least i could for you after fixing my wing up." She smiles at this "I could use some help caring for my animals." "Great, i'm good with animals." You say while forcing yourself to smile, remembering that time that badger mauled you. As you are following her out you say. "oh, one more thing. Did I hit my head on something?" "Well...ummm..." "It was the table wasn't it?" "...yes" "The third time the week! Why do I always hit my head on things!" You yell while your memories of you hitting your head on door ways, some trees, a sign, etc. Fluttershy whimpers and hides her head behind her mane while she backs away. Upon seeing this you stop your yelling and say while scratching the back of your head "Sorry, i'm just angry that it happened again. And the headaches I get seem to just get worse every time." "We should get to caring for the animals" She says with her head still behind her mane. She turns around and walks out the door with you in tow. By the time you finished helping her with her animals the sun had already set.The two of you would have been done sooner but she was constantly stoping to make sure your wing was fine and you weren't overexerting your self. Looking up at the clock you see that it's pasted midnight. Looking over to Fluttershy you say "Well I better get going." giving her a smile afterwords. You close the door behind yourself and spread your wings wide, only to have a sharp pain shoot through your wing. "AAGGHH, I am such an idiot" remembering that you can't fly you also remember another crucial fact. "Buck me with a broom sideways. I live in a celestia damned cloud house." You turn around to face the door again and, instead of using your hoof, you use your own head. After a few seconds the door opens a little and you see Fluttershy staring at you quizzically. "oh, umm....If you don't mind me asking....why are you banging your head on my door?" You look at her and reply "Well, i'm a some how idiotic enough to forget that my house is a cloud house and i can't fly right now. Not to mention the fact i agreed to fly in a storm for a bet." You stop and smile at her, then you continue happily "So, is it ok if I stay here. For the night atleast." She turned her head to the side a little, causing her mane to fall in front of her face. Before she answers you think you see a smile behind her mane. "Yes, you can stay here." she turns around and says something else. "You can sleep on the couch...if you don't mind that is." "As long as i'm here I would sleep on the floor if you wanted." "Oh...umm...ok" she said while keeping her face hidden. "I'll be right back" with that she went up the stairs. With a smile on your face you jump on to the couch, carefully as to avoid hurting your wing more. A few minutes latter she came back with a pillow and a blanket for you. "Thank you" you say, smiling at her. She smiles back and fly's back up the stairs. Stopping before she is out of sight, she says "Good night." "Good night to you too" you reply. As you start to fall asleep you think about what has happened today. The last thought that you could remember before falling asleep is 'I lost the bet, but I think I still won.'
