After a normal day in the Everfree Forest, Fluttershy finds herself a new word. Unknown to her,the word has more power than she could have ever imagined.

Fluttershy could not have guessed it, but when she learned a new word, her power would grow. How will she use this new power? Taking over Equestria? Enacting revenge on all her enemies? Or not even knowing she has it.

The Curse Word

It was another average day for Fluttershy as she walked away from the edge of the Everfree forest. The edge of the forest was not dangerous as long as you knew what you were doing, and she did. She only went there to help hurt creatures or to gather herbs for food or natural medicine.

Today was a bountiful day. She found rare mushrooms that aided in healing, plants that could be grounded together to increase magic potential, and even a herb, if cooked right, could be used as an aphrodisiac. All these products would sell great on the market. If she bargained just right, she would be able to live with no worries for awhile.

She turned to head home, but a sparkle caught the edges of her vision. She chose to ignore it. Every step she took, the thoughts about the sparkle grew. A couple of steps later the curiosity inside her swelled. She could not longer resist and flew towards the sparkle.

“What’s this?” questioned Fluttershy as she picked up the sparkle, “You’re nothing, but a piece of balled up paper.”

Fluttershy rolled the paper in her hooves for awhile. She was unsure whether to open it or not. While she was thinking, many of the woodland creatures surrounded her. Each one was eager to see what the yellow pony had. She decided to ask them for help.

“Do you guys think I should open it?” she asked in her usual quiet tone.

The animals responded in an incoherent way that somehow only Fluttershy could understand. She nodded her head and opened the paper. It was a wrinkled, so she gently smoothed it out against a rock. When the paper was readable, she noticed it only had one word on it.

“I’ve don’t know this word...” The mare squinted, “I’ve never seen it either.”

The woodland creatures gathered in closer. Each one was trying to get closer to Fluttershy. Some, sensing danger, ran away. The braver ones tried to get their caretaker to ignore the paper.

“Calm down,” said Fluttershy in a soothing tone, “I’ll be right with you as soon as I’m done with this.”

The mare looked over the word many time before getting the courage to try and pronounce it. The rest of the animals ran away once they noticed this.

“F…u…c…OH!” The pegusus was interrupted by her pet rabbit. He pointed to his mouth and rubbed his abdomen. “Is it feeding time already?”

============================

The next morning, Fluttershy awoke at her usual time-sunrise. It was the only way she accomplish her daily task. First thing on the list was to comb her mane. She slowly flew to the bathroom. Not many ponies knew this, but Fluttershy used a natural blend of plants to get her mane just right. It was her little secret. When she finished combing, she looked in the mirror.

With the perfect hair, she turned to leave, yet something didn’t feel right. She looked back at the mirror and noticed a folded piece of paper on the sink. Wondering how it got there, she grabbed it. After examination, she began to read.

Fuck[fuhk], interjection: Used to express anger, disappointment, and sadness. In some cases happiness, and/or agreement. Only with the word “yes” or “yeah” added onto the end.

A small smirk appeared on Fluttershy’s face. She had a learned a new that could be used to express a variety of emotions. She couldn’t wait to use it, but she would had to. She was running behind her schedule. If she didn’t get down to the market early, all the good spots would be taken. So, she hurriedly and sloppily fed the animals, and then flew towards the market.

============================

Just like Fluttershy predicted, the market day was successful. Nurse Redheart bought the mushroom. Twilight bought the flowers. Fluttershy promised not to tell anyone. Surprisingly, Big Macintosh purchased the herbs. Saying something along the lines of “it’s a surprise for a very special some pony.”

“Today was good,” Fluttershy stated whiling nodded her head, “I think I deserve a treat.”

After much thought, she thought she decided on making herself a Banana split. Luckily for her, all the ingredients could be found in the market. She bought Ice Cream from Cold-Chilled, Bananas from Banana Split, Fudge from Chocolate Rain, Peanuts from Crackin’, and Whipped Cream from Daisy the cow. All she needed now was a cherry.

Memories resurged from her past experience with cherries. How she tried to be “assertive” and failed. She shook them out her mind. She was ready. She walked towards the cherry stand with her chest puffed out.

“Oh! Looks who’s back.” Smirked a stallion. He still had a rough beard.

“I would like one cherry!” Fluttershy said. The determination in her voice surprised the stallion.

“By Celestia! Look who finally grew up” He started to laugh.

“Sir, I would like one cherry.” This time she added more force.

Sorry Miss…but,” The stallion couldn’t stop from laughing, “I’m out of cherries!”

Fluttershy felt the emotions over take her. She didn’t know which one was stronger. Anger? Disappointment? Sadness? Discontent? Somewhere in the confusion, she saw an opportunity to use her new word.

“FUCK!” She said while closing her eyes and stomping her hoof

The cherry stand exploded apart, relieving a trove of hidden cherries. The stallion, shocked, whimpered and backed away. He curled up in the fetal position. When Fluttershy opened her eyes, she saw the destruction. She saw the stallion whimpering and went to help.

“Stay away!” he croaked

“What happened?”

“Look…just stay away.” He kicked the cherries towards Fluttershy, “Take all my cherries! No charge!”

Fluttershy took another step closer, but the stallion scooted away. He visibly started to shake. Taking a hint, Fluttershy politely took one cherry and left.

“Thank you, sir”

============================

In the middle of a table, was arguably the best looking Banana Split anypony has ever seen. The fruit was at its peak ripeness. The fudge flowed down the ice cream like a waterfall. The peanuts would provide the perfect crunch. And the cherry, was the piece that brought it all together. Luckily for a yellow mare, it was all hers. When she was about to take a bite, a knock on the door interrupted her.

“Fluttershy! It’s Twilight. I think we need to talk.”

“Fuck…,” Whispered Fluttershy. She didn’t notice, but the windows in her house forcefully flew open, “Coming, Twilight.”

Fluttershy went and opened the door. Twilight gave a small smile before letting herself in. Fluttershy didn’t mind of course. It was only Twilight. The only problem was that behind the unicorn was a hoard of floating books and scrolls.

“Ummm Twi-“

“Don’t worry, Fluttershy. I only came to talk”

Twilight immediately settled down in the living room. She ordered her books by genre and in alphabetical order. All were staked into a mountain of books. Once everything was organized, she sat down on the couch, and then waved Fluttershy over.

“So what brings you over?” Fluttershy asked, kind of distantly. Her mind was thinking about the treat.

“You see, ponies have been mentioned an explosion at the markets today. Also, the unicorns have been feeling an excess of magical energy. All coming from you…” she explained

“Well that’s weird. As you know, I’m a Pegasus. I don’t have magical abilities.”

“I know…,” Twilight sighed. “Have you done anything special lately?”

The Pegasus thought of everything she had done recently: Feeding the animals, Chiropractic, Spa days with Rarity, singing with the animals. Nothing that she doesn’t usually do. Then it hit her.

“Oh, I learned a new word!” cheered the yellow mare.

“Okay,” Twilight rubbed her face, “What is it?”

“Fuck.”

The unicorn flew backwards into her books. She hit the wall, then slowly peeled off. When she fell onto the floor, the vibrations caused the books and scrolls to collapse on top of her. Fluttershy ran over and pulled Twilight out of the debris. Except for a bruise, the unicorn wasn’t hurt.

“Oh! Sorry, Twilight.” Fluttershy apologized. She lifted Twilight in her arms and flew her towards the kitchen. “Let’s get that bandaged up.”

Fluttershy carried Twilight into the kitchen and immediately drop her. Twilight hit the ground hard, yet she didn’t feel as much pain as she expected. She looked towards Fluttershy and saw that she was trying to contain her emotions by taking deep breaths. Twilight pulled herself up. She looked on the table and saw why Fluttershy was emotional. Angel bunny was rubbing his stomach. An empty bowl was next to him.

“Calm down…,” Twilight trotted over to the Pegasus, “It’s not that bad.”

“It was my Banana Split…”

“Please Fluttershy…don’t”

“…mine” Tears streamed from her eyes

“Please…”

“FUCK!”

The entire side of Fluttershy’s cottage blew away leaving a gaping hole in the side. The creatures in the cottage ran out. All of them were making scared sounds of escape. When they left, an awkward silence was left between the two ponies.

“You okay?” asked Twilight, choosing to speak first.

“Yes…I just over reacted” Fluttershy responded.

“Well, I think you need to speak to the Princess Celestia.” Twilight lit her horn to prepare a transportation spell.

“No-“

It was too late. Twilight had already teleported Fluttershy and wrote a letter explaining everything to Celestia. When everything was done, she took a look around.

“Fluttershy…,” The unicorn sighed, barely dodging a falling branch, “What have you found?”

============================

“-that’s not necessary…” Fluttershy looked around to see she was in the royal castle. She noticed the princess, who was reading a scroll, and tried to sneak away, but it was too late.

“Hello Fluttershy,” Celestia looked up from the scroll, “Twilight’s letter says you discovered a powerful word?”

“Yes, Princess, but it’s alright. I’ll stop using it.” The Pegasus was beginning to hide behind her mane.

“That’s good, yet I still need you to write it down.” Celestia’s plan was to erase the word from Fluttershy’s mind. A word so powerful did not need to exist. She couldn’t erase it until she knew exactly what the word was. She levitated paper and feather pen to Fluttershy.

“Okay.”

Soon all this trouble would be over. The upcoming threat to Equestria would be no more. As soon as the mare wrote the word, Celestia would cast the spell. Unexpectedly, Luna interrupted the plan with her visit.

“SISTER! GUESS WHAT I HAVE DONE WITH THINE ROOM!” Luna still hasn’t learned when to control the TRCV.

Fluttershy, frightened by the sudden noise, snapped the pen in half. Celestia’s expression went grim. Fluttershy released her new word, but quickly covered her lips. Luna became confused then disappeared.

============================

The Princess of the Night opened her eyes. In her vision was the planet she was just co-ruling with her sister. She tried to use her magic to teleport herself back home, but a stronger magic blocked her own. She face- hoofed and sighed.

“Not this crap again”

============================

“Calm down,” Celestia suggested, “and please refrain from using that word.”

“Sorry Princess …I don’t know what came over me.” Fluttershy whispered.

“It’s okay, my little pony,” Celestia smiled while levitating a new pen to the yellow mare, “Just continue where you left off.”

Fluttershy took the pen into her hoof. As she wrote, the pen would continuously slip from her grasp. Her hooves grew sweaty. She knew the princess was watching. Another mistake like the one earlier could result in a unknown consequence. She got a firm grip on the pen and wrote, but it was not firm enough. The pen slipped and fell on the floor.

“Oh my...”

The shy mare went to retrieve the pen, but succeed in only kicking it across the room. A noticeable smirk appeared on Celestia’s face. This yellow mare was so nervous she couldn’t pick up her pen. The princess let out a giggle causing Fluttershy to blush.

Try as she may, the poor mare still couldn’t pick up the pen. She kicked it all the way towards the royal throne. With no where left for it to go, the pen was finally able to be picked up. Fluttershy looked the princess in the eyes. Celestia’s warm motherly expression slowly turned into a mocking laugh. Celestia couldn’t help it. She hadn’t seen anything this funny in ages. Fluttershy, on the other hand, didn’t think it was funny. She just wanted to scream from embarrassment and had the perfect thing to say.

“FUCK!” She knew she shouldn’t have said it, but her self-control was gone. When she was finished she looked back at Celestia. The warm smile had returned. “Sorry.”

“No pro-” Princess Celestia was interrupted when white flakes landed on her nose. She brushed them off, and something dropped onto the floor. Fluttershy gasped. The princess looked down to see an extra long unicorn horn rolling away. She slowly raised her hoof to her head and felt around. A jagged stump of what was once there was all that remained. Celestia furiously looked towards Fluttershy who was beginning to cower. Filled with rage, Celestia arose from her throne and started approaching the pegusus. “You little Bit-”

Flutter, curled in the fetal position, waited for Celestia to finish her statement, yet it never came. She opened her eyes. She was the only thing in the room. Well, she and Celestia’s crown which just laid on the floor along side the broken horn.

============================

Celestia and Luna sat next to each other looking at the planet they were just on. With a broken horn and useless magic, they sighed. Both were trapped on the moon with no way to get back home. Who knew how long their stay would? The only thing the two princesses could do was wait.

“You think they’ll figure out we never really raised the sun or moon?” Luna asked

“Nope. They’re too stupid.” Celestia replied.

Luna started to giggle. It started off small, but then erupted into a full laugh. Not seeing what was so funny; Celestia stopped her sister from laughing and asked.

“Why are you laughing at a time like this?” Celestia questioned.

“Now you know how I felt.” Luna condescended.

“Shut up, Luna!” Celestia punched her sister, “Just shut up.”

============================

It had been two weeks since Fluttershy had “beaten” the princesses. By royal decree of the chancellor, based from olden pony law, she had beaten them in battle thus becoming the new ruler of Equestria. She didn’t time to reject the role. She was sworn in before a word could form on her lips. It wasn’t too bad, though. The parties, parades, and the flank kisser ponies kept her happy. Unfortunately, the fun ended. Her first day in office she had already signed over 200 papers and heard thousands of complaints. Her hoof ached and her head throbbed. How did the princess handle this?

“Queen Fluttershy?” a servant pony asked while entering the royal office.

“You can just call me Fluttershy”

“Yes Queen.”

“What is it you need” the queen sighed.

“We have more papers for you to sign…”

Two guard ponies walked into the room. Attached to them were two wagons filled with towers of scrolls. A small breeze could easily knock them over. Fluttershy wasn’t surprised. This happened everyday around the same time. What caught her off guard was when the guard ponies left then returned with more carts.

“Did I say these all needed to be signed by…tonight?”

“No!” Fluttershy hovered in the air, “I’m tired of signing papers. I’ll be in my bedroom…no calls.”

She decided that no matter what, she would always try to keep herself contained. That word she learned tended to only come out when she grew frustrated, so if she stayed calm the word would never be used. She would simply walk away from her troubles then come back to them at a later time.

Queen Fluttershy approach her room. The door was slightly open, but she didn't notice it. With a slight push, she opened the door. The room was Celestia's old one, but with a slight color change. She went to lay on the bed , but stopped when a familiar lump was waiting for her. It was Big Macintosh laid out on the bed with a rose in his mouth. In front of him were two plates of freshly prepared cuisine sprinkled with the herbs he bought earlier.

"Eeyup?"

"Fuck yes..." whispered Fluttershy. With her knowing it, the door closed then locked itself. A note appeared on the outside of her room.

Do not disturb
