"Tap tap!" was the only sound heard from Fluttershy's cottage, Fluttershy couldn't handle it. Nevertheless, she carried on completing her daily tasks. All of a sudden, the taps became one "BANG!" It sounded like somepony had kicked glass! Funny enough, that was just it. Fluttershy went to investigate (while wearing Armour of course. A pan for a helmet and for a weapon was a wooden spoon). She gasped, noticing that there, standing on the other side of the window, was a pony. The filly pony looked a lot like fluttershy, only she had a brown coat, her hair was hot pink with black highlights and was tied in a pony tail,also being accessorized with sticks and leaves and mud, and her eyes were light pink. "Iris?" Fluttershy squeaked.
Fluttershy let the filthy pegasus pony in, and gave her hot chocolate. Carefully, Fluttershy listened to the story of her sister. "After you'd left Cloudsdale, mother was a lot harder on me. She even went to the point of kicking dad out, then she soon began whipping me."
"Not with the-" Fluttershy hesitated
"Yes, the cane. The spiky belt. I still have bruises that haven't healed and are all bloody. I was forced to run away, if i hadn't I would probably be either dead or half dead. I began a search to find you, alas, in every city I looked you were nowhere to be seen! Until now that is. I aimlessly wondered in equestrian territory and found myself walking in what you call the everfree forest. I was taken in by a zebra who kindly helped me find you."
"Zerora!" Smiled fluttershy. "You've been through a lot, Iris, go take a warm bath and I'll get your room ready." She continued and dragged the unfortunate pony into the bathroom, allowing her to rinse herself clean.
Fluttershy began to clean up in the room discord had stayed in. It was the cosiest, after all. She made the bed and dusted the tables, washed the windows, cleaned the carpets and finally waited, as patiently as an angel, eager to see her sister. Time went by as slow as years and eventually, iris entered. There stood a totally different filly Pegasus, or what looked like a totally different filly Pegasus. A tall golden Pegasus with a hot pink mane of which had highlights. On her left cheek, just below the eye was a beauty mark in the shape of a black heart. Her cutie mark was a pair of dark golden wings with a black star in the middle. Beaming, iris went to take a nap.
