“What have I gotten myself into?” Asked Fluttershy to her reflection as she brushed her mane, in just two short days she had gone from having nopony besides her family to having a bunch of friends who were gay and a roommate who apparently for reasons unknown assumed her to be gay as well and hated her for it, even though one of the girl’s she was hanging out with now was said roommate’s best friend.
“Hey, You gonna spend all day in that bathroom, other ponies need to use it ya know.” Called out Dash knocking on the door.
“Sorry be out in a minute.” Replied Fluttershy finishing up and putting her brush back inside her side of the medicine cabinet.
Fluttershy opened the door and saw Dash was sneering at her. “Getting all dolled up for a date with one of your marefriends.”
“Nope just cleanliness is next to godliness, as they say.” Sighed Fluttershy
“Wow you’re just as prissy as that Rarity mare that rooms with that crazy pony,” Dash scoffed
“Neon happens to be a very nice pony, if you’d give him a chance,” Rebuked Fluttershy spinning around on her heel to face Rainbow Dash having been about to open the door.
“Yeah, okay not going to though, he hangs around with those fillyfoolers all the time, hell rumors around campus say he’s a whorse, and will do anyone mare or stallion who will bother with him,”
“A.J’s gay why do you hang out with her still then,” Replied Fluttershy starting to get annoyed with Dash’s bashing of her friends; however before she could open the door she found herself flying across the room , laying into a dresser smashing it.
“I thought I told you not to talk about things you don’t fucking know about, you stupid fillyfooling bitch.” Screamed Dash as she stood from where she had thrown Fluttershy.
“Hurts to hear the truth don’t it,” She hissed as she nursed her wing and stood up.
“Just because things were all sunshine and daisies back in fragmented fairy-land or wherever the hell you came from, doesn’t mean my life is that PERFECT!” Fluttershy jumped as Dash seized her by the throat, smacking her head against the wall. “And the next time you pry around in my past,” she said dangerously, “you’ll end up like that dresser.” Dash then proceeded to clean up the shards of wood and glass that were around the room, and soon she sighed and quickly scooped up a gold picture frame putting it into her bag, Fluttershy watched as Dash quickly wiped away the tears as she continued.
“If you want I’ll help, also since that picture seems like it’s important to you there’s a repair shop just off campus, that is if you didn’t know about it already,” Said Fluttershy as she began to pick up some of the larger bits of glass.
“I’ll do it, go get your wing looked at by Nurse Redheart, and nah it was just a piece of junk frame, I’ll get another,” Sighed Dash throwing away what she had picked up and holding her hoof out for what Fluttershy had.
“But you were crying when you seen it had broken,” Replied Fluttershy the cyan Pegasus didn’t answer.

It was all Fluttershy could do to stop her head exploding as she walked across the dark courtyard to where Applejack and the others had told her to meet them. My heads gonna explode, why’s she gotta be so hard to figure out? Fluttershy sighed as she propped herself against the building of Princess Platinum's building. She’s such a moody bitch and then all of a sudden she’s… “I don’t know; why’d I have to get stuck with a mentally unstable homophobe as a roommate?” She asked herself aloud.
“Maybe you just have all the luck.” Fluttershy turned to see the familiar blonde-maned earth pony coming out of the building, followed by the others.
“Heh, yeah, luck; whatever that means…” Octavia smiled at her as she walked towards her.
“Rainbow had a little something to say to me,” said Applejack with a curious look at Fluttershy, “She told me to keep you out of her business.” To which Fluttershy sneered.
“I’ll be just as happy to forget her as soon as she stops saying I’m fucking gay!”
“Yeah, well, enough about that, her little denial-fest isn’t gonna ruin my night,” said Octavia, and she noticed the dirty look on her marefriend’s face, and narrowed her eyes. “Filthy pervert…”
“What makes you think I was thinking anything dirty?” the dual toned maned mare insisted in an innocent voice.
“Feh, when are you not thinking something dirty?”
“Oh Octi, you know me so well.”
“Anyway, are we gonna get moving or do you want to wait here in the shadows for Miss Dash to come and axe-murder us?” Asked Rarity Neon rolled his eyes.
“Are you saying Rainbow’s gonna go psycho on us?” He asked. Rarity snorted.
“I wouldn’t put it past her.”
“Ignore Rarity, Flutters, she’s still sore that Rainbow used to – well beat her up a lot in High-school,” explained Pinkie, and Fluttershy smiled at the dopey expression on Rarity’s face.
“Yeah, holding a grudge against someone who used to spend her lunch hour hanging me up in the girl’s locker room for fun, I’m real petty like that.” Pinkie chuckled.
"She never did that."
"Well she threatened to!" Pinkie watched her, and Rarity sighed.
"Well...I may have over-elaborated on that but she's still an uncouth ruffian."
* * * * * * * * * *
Dash sat on her bed looking at the shattered frame, the picture inside was undamaged but still the flame had been destroyed.
Still can’t control my temper sometimes, but I can’t let her in, not while, while she could still pull through.

“So Fluttershy, ever been to a bar before? “Asked Twilight as they entered the establishment and the bouncer checked their I.D’s.
“Well, no I haven’t” The shy Pegasus smiled nervously as Vinyl went to get ready for her set and let them know she had arrived.
“Oh goody we get to see what she’s like drunk for the first time!” Smirked Lyra as Bonbon nodded.
“Now let’s just hang on a minute.” Said Twilight noticing where this was going “You don’t need to get her totally wasted just because she’s never drank before.
“Indeed we don’t know how she’ll react and a visit from the guards is the last thing we need.” Added Rarity with a sidelong glance at her marefriend; remembering the fiasco that had ensued from getting the purple mare as drunk as she could get short of passing out.
“Ah think Rares is right ya’ll let’s keep it within reason, kay?” Suggested Applejack before Pinkie jumped onto her back.
“Oh come on A.J, it’s her first time we did to show little Flutters how it feels when you drink until you can’t think straight. Hey you’ve gotta try my special super yummy pink lemonade vodka, I made the recipe myself and now it’s one of our best cocktails.” Giggled Pinkie as she hopped off to start her shift as well, Pinkie worked as a bartender at the campus bar
“Sometimes Ah wonder what Ah see in her….” Smiled Applejack as she straightened her hat and the rest of them followed Pinkie over to the bar.
“Hey guys, how have you been?” Asked Lotus as they sat down and Lotus came over to give them some snacks and find out what they were drinking. As it turned out Lotus and Aloe also worked around the campus as well while they finished their majors in massage therapy and the spa was in its slow season.
“A Blow job.” Smirked Lyra who wrapped her arms around Bonbon and pulled her into a kiss after the cream mare ordered a 7&7.
“Hard apple cider, right A.J” Guessed Lotus before Applejack could said anything and she nodded.
“Jura whiskey as usual.” Smiled Octavia as the intercom announced DJ Pon3 would soon be taking the stage and Octavia knew she’d need something strong to deal with her marefriends preferred brand of music.
“Twilight?” Asked Lotus smiling
“Apple martini.” Replied Twilight rubbing her hoof thought her mane, Lotus was the one who had served her on that occasion that Twilight had gotten so drunk that her other side made an appearance and started ranting about Magic Kindergarten
“Three Blue Hawaii.” Smiled Neon as Aloe came over to help her sister and glared at the black Pegasus.
“Did you skip your medication today, Neon?”
“Yeah, but we only do this once a month so it’s not all that big of a deal is it?” He sighed as she continued to stare daggers at him
“You really shouldn’t do that, but okay as long as it’s not too often, and don’t expect us to serve you if we know you’ve taken it, you know how I feel about people drinking while taking Medication.” Aloe then walked off to get the first few of the group’s orders
“Rarity.” Lotus nodded at the white Unicorn
“Sex on the beach.” She Replied
“And you Fluttershy.” Smiled Lotus giggling at the look of shock on the yellow Pegasus’s face at Lotus knowing her name.
“Ummm.” Fluttershy froze but Applejack answered for her
“Pinks wants her to try the Pinkie pie pink pink lemon bomb.”
“Oh” Lotus giggled “Looks like Pinkie’s trying to see if our little friend is just as shy once her inhibitions are gone, do you know just how many vodka’s she puts in that damn thing, it 170 proof, yet it’s so sweet you wouldn’t think so, okay girls, it’ll be a couple minutes.” She smiled then walked away
“170 proof!” Shrieked Rarity after Lotus had gone. “She’s not trying to get her drunk, she’s trying to kill her, I mean the only thing stronger than that is everclear moonshine!”
“Rares, Pinkie wouldn’t try an kill anypony, she’s just a little overzealous, but I’m kinda curious myself now, how about we just let the dominos fall and see what happens.
“Oh you…. You’re only saying that because she’s your marefriend!” Snapped Rarity “Do you not remember what happened last time we had a first timer in here- we had to call Princess Celestia just to calm Twilight down, and I don’t want that to happen again!”
“Rarity, I highly doubt Fluttershy has those kinds of demons” Said Octavia as she turned to face the two bickering ponies
“Well I guess all that’s left to do is wait and see.” Sighed Rarity as Aloe and Lotus delivered the drinks to each of them, and Rarity took a long sip off of her sex on the beach.
Two hours and two more shots later.
“Hey handsome you wanna see my cutie mark?” Giggled Fluttershy as she hung off of Big Macintosh’s yoke and the red Stallion politely refused helping her get back to his younger sister.
“Thanks Macintosh, What did you need?”
“Just wanted to give ya some of the zap apple jam granny made before it all ran out, it’s kinda lonely not havin ya on the farm A.J.” Said Mac as he handed A.J the jar and helped her return the obviously drunk Fluttershy to her seat.
“I’m sorry big bro, but ya know I gotta get this degree so I can be even better of a manager for Sweet Apple Acres.
“Ya I know, well you take care lil sis, and don’t you let her drink no more.” Smiled Mac as he patted Fluttershy on the wing and left the bar.
“See I told you so.” Sighed Rarity as Fluttershy began singing at the karaoke machine, having made her way over to it while they hadn't been paying attention
“Oh you hush; she’s not nearly as bad as Twi was.

The next morning wasn’t so great, as it found Fluttershy on her back hoofs throwing up into the toilet as Rainbow Dash laughed her flank off at her.
“Hangover from hell, eh Shy, though I’d of never believed it, three of those lemonade shots that Pinkie pie makes, damn you can really hold your liquor.” Guffawed the cyan Pegasus as she left for her first class on campus and left her some aspirin for the inevitable headache.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Fluttershy ran as fast as she could having noticed that she had slept halfway through the day and had missed all of her class except luckily Classical 101, she went in just as Professor Brass was starting her lecture.
“Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized 17 December 1770[1] – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. His best-known compositions include 9 symphonies, 5 concertos for piano, 32 piano sonatas, and 16 string quartets. He also composed other chamber music, choral works (including the celebrated Missa solemnis), and songs.”
Fluttershy watched as Professor Brass flipped through the slides as she continued her lecture on Beethoven, and the basic information about him.
“Born in Bonn, the then capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father Johann van Beethoven and by Christian Gottlob Neefe. During his first 22 years in Bonn, Beethoven intended to study with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and befriended Joseph Haydn. Beethoven moved to Vienna in 1792 and began studying with Haydn, quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. He lived in Vienna until his death. In about 1800 his hearing began to deteriorate, and by the last decade of his life he was almost totally deaf. He gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works come from this period.”
Fluttershy took notes as fast as she could and soon the end of the lecture had come
Beethoven was bedridden for most of his remaining months, and many friends came to visit. He died on 26 March 1827 at the age of 56 during a thunderstorm. His friend Anselm Hüttenbrenner, who was present at the time, said that there was a peal of thunder at the moment of death. An autopsy revealed significant liver damage, which may have been due to heavy alcohol consumption. It also revealed considerable dilation of the auditory and other related nerves."
“Beethoven's funeral procession on 29 March 1827 was attended by an estimated 20,000 Viennese citizens.Franz Schubert, who died the following year and was buried next to Beethoven, was one of the torchbearers. Beethoven was buried in a dedicated grave in the Währing cemetery, north-west of Vienna, after a requiem mass at the church of the Holy Trinity. His remains were exhumed for study in 1862, and moved in 1888 to Vienna's Zentralfriedhof. In 2012, his crypt was checked to see if his teeth had been stolen during a series of grave robberies of other famous Viennese composers."
There is dispute about the cause of Beethoven's death: alcoholic cirrhosis, syphilis, infectious hepatitis, lead poisoning, sarcoidosis and Whipple's disease have all been proposed.Friends and visitors before and after his death clipped locks of his hair, some of which have been preserved and subjected to additional analysis, as have skull fragments removed during the 1862 exhumation.Some of these analyses have led to controversial assertions that Beethoven was accidentally poisoned to death by excessive doses of lead-based treatments administered under instruction from his doctor, So for homework, study one of Beethoven’s works and memorize it, I shall expect a stunning performance in two week time” She finished just as the bell rung.
Fluttershy walked back to the dorm to find Rainbow wasn’t there but as she hadn’t seen her all day she had kinda figured she’d be gone and so Fluttershy grabbed the remote to turn on the T.V when the phone rang.
“Hello Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy’s room” She said as she answered the phone
“Is Mrs. Dash there?” Asked a female voice from the other line
“No may I take a message though?”
“Just please tell her that I was told to tell her to come to Canterlot hospital as the surgery has been moved to this afternoon, and”
Surgery. Thought Fluttershy Rainbow’s having surgery?
“Sorry, what hospital was this again?” asked Fluttershy. The woman on the other end took a hesitant pause, as if she wasn’t prepared to answer. “It’s the one up Sunrise Road, the Intensive Care unit…”
It wasn’t a minute later when Fluttershy was speeding up the pavement, trying to find Rainbow. She’d run all the way to the hospital, and no sign of her, she had no idea how she was going to find her now. Taking the East Wing entrance to the Intensive care, a small, fair, sweet looking nurse stopped when she noticed her wandering, studying the directions on the wall.
“Can I help you?” she asked. She smiled awkwardly.
“Umm…I’m a friend of Mrs. Dash’s, she just-”
“-She comes here often, but, not so much lately, things had seemed to be getting better up until now.” Fluttershy gulped. What’s wrong with her? Is it really that bad?
“Can you tell me where she is?”
“Well I-”
“-Please, I’ve got to find her.” The girl smiled slightly.
“She’s in Ward K, Room 12.” She smiled.
“Thank you.”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The hospital was like a maze. A big white-washed, sterilized jungle, that’s what it is, thought Fluttershy as she counted door numbers 10, 11, then finally 12. Fluttershy looked to see Rainbow just walking in the room; thankfully she was far enough for the Pegasus not to notice her. Fluttershy rushed forwards and peeked through the door. Dash sat down on the chair beside the bed, leaning in to place a kiss on the unconscious patient’s forehead, softly brushing some of her mane from her face, and smiling slightly.
“Hey,” she said huskily, her voice coming out jagged and broken, “hey, baby, it’s me…” Fluttershy felt her heartache as Dash looked at the Mare’s hoof, and hesitantly placed her hoof over the other’s. “Sorry I haven’t come to see you for a few days, Spitfire’s been working me harder than ever and it’s exhausting,” Fluttershy listened at the door, not making her presence known. She didn’t know why she’d followed Dash here, she just had to know what she was hiding, perhaps it was wrong, but how could she help her if she didn’t know why she needed help.
“I had an argument with Applejack and Neon today,” she said, carrying on the conversation as if the mare were going to talk back, but of course she didn’t. “About Fluttershy, I told you about her right, my roommate?” the constant, steady beeping of the life support was all that sounded. “But it ended up being about us again…it always does…they don’t know…they can’t know – if they ever found out they’d…if they ever knew what happened to me, to you…” the rainbow-maned Pegasus broke off, and stared at the sheets for a moment, before speaking again. “I got a phone call today…the doctors say that…they say you’re not getting better…they say you’re only hope is this surgery this afternoon, and even then it’s…they say you’ve got a one in five chance of survival…”
Fluttershy’s eyes widened as she watched a single tear trickle down Rainbow’s cheek. “You have to pull through, you have too…I don’t care how unlikely they say it is…if you ever loved me you’ll do this…please. If you die, I’ll – how can I tell our friends how this happened – the way they’ll look at me…the things they’ll think of you, I…I couldn’t protect you before, and I’m sorry, but stop punishing me from running away…” For a moment, Rainbow rested her forehead against the unconscious mare’s hoof, not saying anything.
After a while, looking back to her, forcing up a smile. “I wanted to ask you some advice…about Fluttershy…” Fluttershy’s ears perked, about me?
“Excuse me?” Fluttershy turned to see a nurse behind her, probably curious as to why she was hovering outside a door, “can I help you?” Fluttershy said nothing, but looking back into the room, to her horror, Rainbow had noticed her.
