Fluttershy was walking slowly back from the market. She had needed some food for her and her animals. Fluttershy was still hung on what happened six weeks ago, when Rainbow Dash died. Fluttershy began to weep as she recalled the events.

"I call this the Curly Rainbow."

BOOM!

"Help."

Help. That was the last word that Rainbow Dash had said to her. Fluttershy had become a fast flyer in honor of Rainbow Dash. Every time she flew she was always regretting how she wished she could of been this fast before." Oh stupid Fluttershy!" Fluttershy had began to quietly cry. "Why couldn't you of saved her. You should of been a better flyer before."

Fluttershy had finally reached her home. She opened the door softly to be sure not to disturb the animals mid-day nap. Fluttershy sat the groceries on the counter in her kitchen and went outside for her flight practice. Fluttershy always stretched and flew about a mile. Today was Thursday though. Fluttershy always flew two miles to reach Rainbow Dash's grave. Rainbow Dash had put in her Will that she wanted to be buried in a very private area in Sweet Apple Acres. It had been said she always took naps their after her practices. Fluttershy stopped at the market once more because she forgot something to put on Rainbow Dash's grave. She paid sixty bitts on a bouquet of lily and rose blossoms. Fluttershy looked down to see Rarity carrying some flowers too. Fluttershy landed next to the beautiful fashion crazed pony. "Hey Rarity where are you going?" Fluttershy had said upon her landing.

Rarity looked up and jumped as if she'd just been touched by a ghost. "Ah! Oh Fluttershy it's just you. You frightened me." Rarity took a second to calm herself down before answering Fluttershy's ignored question. "I'm on my way to pay my respects to our beloved friend Rainbow Dash. Since I couldn't be there for her funeral, I am on my to show that I did care for our friend."

It took a moment for Fluttershy to remember that Rarity had not shown up at the funeral. Rarity was off in Manehattan for some new fashion line she was introducing, and could not attend. Everypony that Rainbow Dash had known had been there. Her friends, the Wonderbolts, even the Princesses. "That's nice of you Rarity I'm on my way to do the same."

"Really?'' Rarity asked surprised.

"Really. Every Thursday I fly out to her grave to leave her something and say a few words."

"Do all our friends do this?"

" Yes. Twilight hasn't been showing up lately, because of her duties back at the castle, but everyone else has. Usually Applejack stays the longest."

"That is nice of them I wish I could of been there the day she died. I bet look like a selfish no-good friend to everypony else."

" NO not at all Rarity. Our friends still think of you the same way as they did before the incident." Fluttershy watched as few tears crawled down Rarity's cheek.

Fluttershy and Rarity continued the path to Rainbow Dash's grave. When they finally arrived Applejack and Pinkie Pie were standing next to the tree she was buried beneath. Applejack was crying softly and had her hat off. Pinkie Pie had her hair in that drooped fashion,trying to hold back tears. It was like this everytime they were out here. They all cried as they remembered their dear friend Rainbow Dash. Rarity and Fluttershy walked up slowly to the grave and laid their flowers down to give to their lost friends. "Should we have a moment of silence." Rarity, who had never shown up to see Rainbow Dash die, said she wanted it to be quiet to morn. They all did just that. For about a minute they stood there and remembered their friend.

"I need to start heading back home." Pinkie Pie said as she wiped the tears from her face.

"Same here. I'd like to go home and take my mind off all this." Rarity added. Both ponies walked off and left Fluttershy and Applejack alone together.

"Would you like me to go?" Fluttershy asked Applejack, figuring she wanted her time with Rainbow Dash.

"That would be mighty kind of ya." applejack said. " I don't really want anybody to know what I say when I stay here."

Fluttershy gave a nod and flew off. Fluttershy had to make up for practice by flying across the town. When she was done she headed home to tend to her animals. Upon arrival to her home though she spotted something peculiar that lit up the sunset.She was flying back from the edge of the Everfree forest and back across Ponyville when she saw it. It looked like a fire. a building had been set on fire, and not just any building. It was the Carousel Boutique. Fluttershy gasped in horror and flew down quickly to check out the scene. Futtershy looked around for the nearest firefighter. "Excuse me."

The firefighter was suiting up as if he had to go save somebody on the inside.

"Sorry little girl, I'm kind of busy." the firefighter said in a rush. "Somebody is in the building."

With that Fluttershy knew it was her friend Rarity. Fluttershy stood on the side and watched two fighters go in the building. It took a while for them to come back out but when they did they were carrying a white and black pony. Black? "That doesn't look like my friend?" Fluttershy said to herself. When the pony was brought closer Fluttershy could actually tell it was Rarity, but she was covered in burns. Fluttershy was taken aback as she thought of the luscious form of what used to be Rarity compared to her now.

As she always did when catastrophe was taken place, Fluttershy went home in tears. Her animals woke up to see the pony crying on her couch. The animals seemed to be trying to calm her down. "It happened again. Another one of my friends are....are....are.... DEAD!" Fluttershy cried heavily. Of course she didn't know if Rarity was dead or not but she'd looked like she had been burned badly. " It's only been six weeks. Six, and another one is gone. Is God out for my friends." Fluttershy went into a soul search-y state thinking about what would happen to her other friends. Would they all die if God was actually trying to kill them. Fluttershy had to snap herself out of her daze, and accompanied her mind with other thoughts and tasks. She began to cook,feed,and clean herself and the animals. all while doing so she: think about her job,practice, alive friends, and Angel's birthday. Then came time for bed. filled with all the happy thoughts she'd been thinking about she fell asleep.

Fluttershy woke up, looked outside and saw the morning sun. She went downstairs made her and her animals some breakfast and sat down to watch some TV. "Oh Angel Bunny, I had the strangest dream last night. Rarity's store caught on fire and she died." Fluttershy sat down and started to watch TV. A few minutes in to her show it was interrupted by breaking news.

"Breaking News a fire occurred in Ponyville last night around 10 p.m. The fire was caused by a flammable dress placed next to a stove. The fire injured one and killed one. The death was of BonBon who lived happily with a girl named Lyra. The injured pony was of Rarity the owner of the store. Now back to your regularly scheduled programs."

So it hadn't been a dream. What happened last night was real, it really happened. Fluttershy thought as she remembered Rarity's burnt face and having to be dragged out of her shop. "Oh....oh my." Fluttershy said quietly. A brief moment after saying that there was a knock on the door. " I wonder who that could be?" Fluttershy got up and walked over to the door slowly. When she opened the door she was shocked to see who it was.

"Rarity!?!"

Author's Note

Note: If you did not read the first one with Rainbow Dash the beginning may of been confusing.

Well that's a rap on this chapter. The first story was just to start off the rest of series, so that's why it didn't have anymore chapters. Some of you pointed out that this is going to really depressing so i came up with a plan. After every story look down here in the notes to see a joke. Comment what jokes you also like and i'll even might tell your favorite kinds of jokes. I don't want anybody to be sad or anything, but this is the kind of stories i like reading on here so i wanted to write one.

Joke:A College Professor was telling his class that final exam is tomorrow and that there is no excuse for being absent except illness, injury, or immediate death of a family member. One of the cocky kids in the back says, " What about sexual exhaustion?" The whole class laughs. when it is silent again the Professor looks up and replies, " Don't worry, you can write with you other hand."
