It was a fine day, as had the past few. Though the sun shone, and the birds sang, Fluttershy still found it a little difficult to bring herself to leave her home. But, necessity had finally drawn her to the marketplace. She browsed, albeit quickly, hoping to avoid any sort of problems. She'd been having issues in the past, and she hoped perhaps once that she could be ignored, and an incident avoided. Unfortunately for the poor Pegasus, she had no such luck. Passing a break in the fruit stands, she was suddenly ambushed by two larger ponies, and they cornered her in but a moment. “Hey kluttzershy, why are you so fat? Your such a chubby pig.” the brown earth pony taunts her. Fluttershy is immobile helpless, “You probably would squish a bunny with that huge flank of yours!” One of the bullies throws dirt in Fluttershy’s eyes, then the two bullies leave, as their laughing echoes through Fluttershy’s ears, she begins to cry. Fluttershy’s thoughts are clouded by the past, but she manages to think to herself, "two more ponies to add to my list." She then wipes her eyes with her hooves then starts to head home. The laughter and words echo through her brain as she sees her cottage in sight. Her hoof shakes as she turns the cottage’s door handle, the door slowly opens and she is greeted by a variety of animals.
She doesn’t even bother to say hello to them, she just flies up the stairs to her bedroom. She walks over to her messy bed from the night before, she barely sleeps but when she does, she sees the ponies that have bullied her chasing her. Nothing is around but her and the ponies chasing her in her dreams. Fluttershy collapses onto her bed, wetting the bed sheets with her flow of tears. Angel her beloved white bunny hops onto her bed and looks at Fluttershy with sad eyes. “Oh Angel, they were so mean to me! Why do ponies hate me? I’m always nice to everypony!” Fluttershy wails to him. Angel pats her on the head, then climbs in her pink matted mane and snuggles her cheek to comfort her. Fluttershy continues to cry, she then spots her list of the ponies that have bullied her over the years on her desk. “Angel, could you please get that list over there?” Fluttershy asks Angel then points to the list. Angel wiggles out of her mane then hops over to the list. The list is a very big rolled up scroll, it’s been drenched with tears. The little bunny struggles to pick up the huge list and brings it over to Fluttershy. “Thank you Angel,” She unrolls the list, the ponies names are written in red ink. As she touches each name with her hoof a brief word or memory enters her mind, espically the 42nd name...Rainbow Dash. Suddenly her bedroom mirror goes foggy and herself appears in the mirror. Fluttershy comes back to reality and turns her head slowly to look at her mirror.
“Hello my dear Fluttershy” the mirror Fluttershy speaks. It looks like the shy yellow pegasus only her mane is black and her eyes seem to be full of hatred. Fluttershy is too petrified to speak as she stares at the figure. “Don’t be afraid my dear, I’m only here to help you.” a gentle yet creepy voice escapes the mirror's lips.
“W..who are y..you? H..How are you g..going to help me?” Fluttershy finally speaks. The mirror Fluttershy smiles evilly showing some very pointy teeth,“I’m you only better. I’m here to help you get revenge on the ones who have hurt you.” The mirror Fluttershy's eyes move down as it notices the list, “I see we have a lot of work to do my dear. All of those fools have harmed you.” She laughs evilly. Fluttershy takes a deep breath then finally speaks,“B..But mother said I s..should never take my anger out on others..” Fluttershy squeaks. The mirror Fluttershy's image seems to become clearer as she spoke, “Mother was a fool! You need to let it all out Fluttershy. Time for revenge..” as she says those words the mirror fluttershy disappears into thin air. Fluttershy rubs her eyes then looks at the mirror again, wondering if that really happened, but nothing was there, just Fluttershy's own reflection. “I guess the lack of sleep is making me see things.” Fluttershy whispers to herself. She focuses her attention on the list in her hooves once more. The pain she felt during those times slowly began to appear again making her heart ache, then there was a knock on the door. Fluttershy jumps up and holds onto her ceiling lamp for dear life. “Hey Kluttzershy, are you in there?”
Fluttershy’s eyes shrink, her worst fear finally came true, the bullies know where she lives. Thoughts of her poor animals getting beaten flash through Fluttershy’s eyes. Then the words of the mirror Fluttershy flow through her mind. Mother was a fool! You need to let it all out Fluttershy. Time for revenge.. Fluttershy very quitely flies down to the first level of her cottage and sneaks over to the door. She peeks into the little keyhole and sees all of the bullies that have tortured her through the years. Fluttershy’s heart beats fast like a drum ba dum ba dum ba dum. Her clocks ticking feels like the countdown to her doom. Tick tock tick tock, She sees the bullies move away from the doors view, she sighs a little too loud with relief.
Suddenly one of the bullies eyes meet her’s, “I see you..” The bully laughs. Fluttershy scrambles away from the door as the bullies start pounding on the door hard. Glass falls onto the floor as a rock smashes into her window. Fluttershy’s body flows with adrenaline, without thinking she quickly runs up to her bedroom and smashes through the window flying away from her house. As her blood drips down from the broken glass pierced in her flesh, she looks back at her house. The bullies are right on her tail down below. “Get back here you wimp!” Fluttershy flies farther and farther away from her house, she’s not sure where she is going yet she still continues on. As she continues flying thoughts circle her brain, very harmful thoughts. She's been in her house for so long she hadn't realized that Celestia's sun was starting to set. She turns her head to look back at the bullies that are still chasing her. She can see the hatred in their eyes, the way they just look at her makes her wonder if maybe they're some how jealous of her.
"how can they be jealous of you! You're a worthless piece of trash!" a voice inside Fluttershy's head screams at her. She turns her attention back to what is a head of her, "Why can't they just leave me alone.." her tears mix with her blood on her face as she cries. The long list written in red ink flashes in her mind, "let's lure all that have hurt you somewhere, so that I can finally get rid of them for you my dear..we need to find a nice big creepy mansion of some sort." Fluttershy's inner voice tells her softly. "Oh I wish mother was here.." Fluttershy whimpers. "this is exactly why you're so worthless! You cry way to much over your mother! You're such a mommy's girl! She can't save you now since she's dead!! the voice continues to torture her.
