Red Dawn Rises

As Red laid there he lifted his hoof and pointed at Flutter shy.

       “I kind of wanted to live with you.” He said softly. Flutter shy’s expression changed from worried to surprised.

       “Why me?” She asked.

       “I don’t know…you just seem like the easiest to trust.” Red continued. Flutter shy smiled. A second afterwards one of the nurses entered the room.

       “Excuse me.” She started. The six turned to look at her.

       “Visiting hours are over now, you’ll all have to leave.” She continued. As the six started to leave Flutter shy looked back towards Red. He smiled at her and waved goodbye. She smiled and waved back, than continued walking. She met up with the others as she got outside.

       “So…Are you sure you can take care of him?” Twilight asked.

       “It can’t be that hard. I’ve taken care of plenty of animals so it should be easy.” She replied.

       “Okay then. Any way I spoke with the doctor he said Red will be able to leave in three days.” Twilight continued. Flutter Shy smiled, and started to walk home. And since they day was at its end the others did the same. For the next few days Flutter shy and the others visited Red at the hospital. And on the day he was to leave they all waited right outside the front door for him. It was about noon when they saw him. As he walked out the front door he saw Flutter shy and raced over to her.

       “Ready to go?” She asked. Red nodded his head and smiled.

       “Oh hold on.” She interrupted.

       “Girls I’ll see you in a while I need to take Red home.” She told the others.

       “Okay see you later than.” Twilight replied. After that Flutter shy started walking with Red. But when they got to town that’s when things turned bad. Red started remembering things like which way to go to get to the school house and the faces of every pony. But when he looked at some pony a vision flashed threw his mind. It was that same pony except it was either younger or older. And every time he had one of the visions he tripped or stumbled. He was just lucky that he made it out of town before he fell flat on his face. When the two made it back to Flutter shy’s cottage he was amazed. He’s never seen so many animals all in one place. Flutter shy giggled a few times every time he looked up to see the birds as the flew above him.

       “Well here we are.” Flutter shy said. She opened the door to the cottage and Red was amazed. He saw just as many in side as he did outside. He took a few steps forward and walked through the door way. But when the animals saw him the fled from sight. Red’s smile vanished as well, and his head started to sag. Flutter shy took one look at him than started moving around trying to get the small woodland animals to come out.

       “Come on don’t be scared. He’s a friend he won’t hurt you.” She said to all the animals trying to get them to come out from hiding. And it worked some of them started to reappear. A squirrel approached him and started sniffing him. Red noticed it and pet. The squirrel nuzzled up to him, then climbed up his leg and onto his head. He and Flutter shy laughed softly. Some of the other animals gathered around him.

       “Hey Red?” Flutter shy said quietly. Red looked up at her.

       “I have to go meet my friends will you be fine on your own?” Flutter shy asked.

       “Yah I’ll be fine.” He replied. Flutter shy smiled and left. When she was gone Red started moving around trying to interact with the other animals. 4 hours later when Flutter shy got home everything was quite. When she went inside all the animals were gone somewhere. She turned around and saw Red sleeping on the sofa and snuggling Angle like a teddy bear. It was one of the cutest thins she saw in her entire life. She flew up the staircase, and when he came back down she put a blanket on Red and Angle.
