FlutterTom: Part Four Heartbreak

Fashion Model's Tent

Upon entering the big tent, I could hear Pinkie singing one of her fun, energetic songs. I stood at the entrance as I watched the pink mare jump from pony to pony trying to get every pony to dance and sing with her. Most of them resided here in Ponyville, but a lot of them looked snobbish and fancy like, maybe from Canterlot.

The Ponyvillian's smiled and always loved Pinkie Pie's joyful spirit. However, they were at a fashion event and they didn't want to be disrespectful in front of the party at hoof, that or they didn't want to embarrass themselves. The rich ponies would look away, nose in the air with a big snobby, "Humph," when the party planner jumped in front of them.

Pinkie sang,

Come on everypony get off your rump

(The pink mare pushed a stallion off his seat. The rich pony stared at her with a frown.)

Come on everpony let us stomp

(Pinkie hopped over to another pony and grabbed her forehooves making her stomp. That mare yanked her hooves away and walked away with her nose in the air.)

It's time to party

With me, with Pinkie

(Pinkie jumped on a table and stood up on her hindlegs throwing one hoof in the air and pointed to herself with the other.)

I shall bring the fun to you

(She pointed to all the ponies.)

Because Pinkie's here in town

You'll see what I can do

I will not let you down

("Can you please put me down?" a mare asked. "Oh sorry hehe," Pinkie said as she put the pony down.)

Everypony, everpony that is in

Come on every mare

Come on every stallion

There's something you could share

(The party animal skipped and jumped onto the stage.)

Come on mares shake that plot

Come on stallions get on top...

Pinkie extended her arms and pulled in a mare and stallion, but before she couldcontinue singing the two questioned on what she meant.

The stallion wore a white button up shirt, a navy blue vest with a black coat on and a purple bow around his neck. "Whatever do you mean, "get on top"?" the white stallion asked with a medium and light blue mane. He stared at the fun going mare with his light blue eyes.

The mare he was occupied by had asked her question as well, "Yes and I don't "shake" my plot on any stage. A supermodel only walks the runway and looks beautiful while she does it, like me," the mare finished as she went around to the back of the stallion to rest her forearms crossed on his back. She was a tall flour white mare, close to Luna's height, with a pink and light pink mane. She stared down at Pinkie with her light purple eyes.

Pinkie answered both their questions in one sentence, "Oh silly willies," she giggled, "get on "top" of the stage so you ponies can "shake" your groove thangs cause it's dancin' time!" the pink animal began dancing different dances from Twerking to break dancing to ballerina and so on. The poofy maned pony finished by sliding across the floor on her knees and when she lifted up her arms two party cannons appeared on each side of her and blasted confetti and streamers. "You see, like that."

The stallion did not look amused, "I did not come here to watch lower class dancing," he said, "I came to see Rarity model one of her fine dresses. Come Fleur, let us go back to our seats."

"Right behind you Fancy Pants," the supermodel said. She glanced back at Pinkie giving her a warm smile and said, "You are one crazy mare."

Pinkie stood back up and replied, "Oh hehe thanks, I get that a lot."

Fleur Dis Lee and Fancy Pants returned to their seats leaving the pink mare on the runway. The blast of the cannons brought out a furious pony from the back.

"What in the world is going on out here?" she fumed. The fashionista skimmed the room for the culprit and her culprit was no other than Pinkie Pie. "I should of known," Rarity said angrily, "Pinkie, there is no time for one of your shenanigans."

"Awe but I like my shenanigans," Pinkie pouted.

The Element of Generosity used her magic to clean Pinkie's cannon mess and said, "Glamoure should be here any minute and I don't need you being trouble," she finished sternly, "Now if you please, go back to your seat."

Pinkie giggled, "Oh Rarity, don't you believe in fun?"

"There is no time for that," Rarity answered, "Please Pinkie, we can celebrate after Glamoure approves my dress, okay."

The pink earth pony frowned, "Oh fine," then she bounced towards me and the others, "Lalalalala."

Most ponies stood or sat at their respective tables. I sat at the table near the back with Twilight. Rarity went backstage to where my beautiful Fluttershy is and Applejack and Rainbow, I didn't see them. Speaking of them here they come. Both mares came inside talking about a dress Rainbow was wearing.

"Sugar, why ya wearing such a nice little dress?" AJ asked, "It ain't like you to wear somethin' like that."

"Because uhm...," Dash stuttered at first then continued, "...I wanted to wear something nice for uhm Rarity."

Pinkie butted in when she heard her two friends talking, "Oh Dash, you look pretty in that. Hmm that's funny though cause you normally don't wear pretty dresses unless we're at the Gala or for a very very very special occasion."

The pegasus wore a simple sleeveless purple dress that went down to her knees. It had a hole for her tail to slip through at the rear. She was nervous about her piercings and the main reason for the dress is to cover up. Rainbow did not want to tell her friends about them.

"That's wha' I said," the farmer stated.

Rainbow tucked her tail between her legs and nervously looked away then back at Pinkie and AJ, "Didn't Rarity tell us that a mare could wear something nice to make herself look dignified without being bombarded with silly questions?"

"I reckon she did say somethin' like that at the party," the orange mare answered.

"But the real Rainbow Dash would of said that she wouldn't be caught wearing something spiffy like a beautiful dress," the pink pony stated.

Applejack added, "A matter a fact this one here did say so the other night. Rainbow if ya like somepony ya don't have ta feel embarrassed about it." At least that's what she figured.

The future Wonderbolt blurted, "I don't like anypony and I AM the real Rainbow Dash, Pinkie!"

The party pony skipped passed to sit next to me, "If you say so not Rainbow Dash," she finished. Dash just sighed.

Twilight defended the pegasus however, "Leave Rainbow alone you two," she said nicely, "if Dash wants to look beautiful that's fine, there's nothing wrong with a little integrity."

"Thank you, Twi," the professional flyer said with a sigh of relief.

Pinkie and Applejack looked at each other then at Dashie and apologized.

"We're sorry Dashie," the pink mare said, "if you want to look nice then that's fine by us, we didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

AJ added, "Yeah we shouldn't have attack ya like tha', sugarcube."

Rainbow replied to both of them, "It's a'ight, we good."

After a friendly, forgiving hug they sat next to Twi and myself. Dash on the otherside of me and AJ next to Twi, Pinkie...wait where'd she go?

"Is this all these ponies have to eat?" the sugar hunting mare asked herself, "no sugar, no sugar, no worries Pinkie's got this under control."

Oh there she is, over at the snack table. The party animal headed our way after she was done picking through the finger foods or uh whatever term ponies use for finger foods.

"And where are you going?" the cyan pegasus asked her friend.

"I'm going to go bring some goodies from the bakery hoping to lighten these ponies up a bit," Pinkie answered, "they seem to be all, "I do say" and "I'm too good to smile and laugh and enjoy myself because I'm a fancy richy rich pony pants" hehe," and with that she left.

"Well good luck with that Pinks," the athlete flyer responded.

As Pinkie left she spotted a large winged pegasus pulling a carriage descending down towards her. When landed, the pegasus spotted her and asked her, "Hello, this is where the fashion event is correct?"

"Uh huh it sure is," the party pony nodded, "oh gosh I love meeting new ponies!" she said outloud speed talking, "What's your name? My name is Pinkie Pie and I'm Ponyville's numb-" the rest came out as mumbles because she found the tip of a hoof in her mouth.

"Put a cork in it," the pegasus said removing his hoof, "the names Midnight Sky," he finished, smiling down at her. He was only a little taller than her.

Pinkie was admiring the blue pony's large wings when she heard somepony yell, "Who the hell is screaming out here?"

A blue unicorn with a sky blue mane/tail with bright grey colored eyes walked out followed by a silver male unicorn. He had a black mane/tail with blue colored eyes.

"Oh there's no hill screaming," Pinkie responded, "just me, Pinkie Pie."

99pThe pegasus chuckled, but the female unicorn wasn't amused, "I said hell not hill, open up your ears," she said.

"No need to be mean," the silver stallion said, "Just ignore her, she wouldn't laugh at a good joke even if it hit her in the head," he told the pink mare.

Midnight added, "You'll get to love her once you get to know her though, Pinkie."

The female unicorn rolled her eyes and said quietly, "Yeah, whatever."

"Oh okay," the party thrower responded," all in all I'm glad to meet you all. You ponies must be the best of friends."

The pegasus smiled, "Damn straight," he wrapped his arms around his friends' necks, "Silver Blade and Fireflight are the best ponies a pony could ever have."

A butter yellow furred mare stepped out of the coach and said, "What are you three doing? Grab my briefcases and follow me in so we can set everything up." She had a dark gold and light gold mane and tail. Her eyes were shock yellow complicted. "We have a schedule to keep. Rarity's dress is the last one for tonight and when we get back to Emerald City I must finalize every designers' results on the finalist I've selected so I may pick the winner to be my personal designer to design a dress for my model to be crowned Miss Equestria when she wins."

"May I show you to your table?" Pinkie asked.

Glamoure looked her up and down, "You may," the mare answered. She sounded very business like with a hint of high class.

"Okay follow me then," she said beginning to hum afterwards. The yellow pony followed her in while the trio bickered on who was going to bring the luggage in.

"You heard her Midnight, bring 'em in," Fireflight said.

"Ha haha funny," the blue pegasus laughed sarcastically, "I had to pull all three of you. Besides you two have magic."

Silver Blade added, "He has a point Fira, we could levitate them in you know." Fira is Fireflight's nickname.

The female unicorn remarked, "I don't know the levitating spell, sorry."

"Bullshit, your lying," Midnight proclaimed.

Silver went inside the carriage to receive the briefcases. "Oh forget it, I'll get them, she's just being lazy," he said. Fira smiled and trotted inside followed by the pegasus. Silver levitated a black, brown, gold, and the Discord briefcases. He did question the odd multi-colored case, "I don't remember this being brought, oh well. I better not lollygag, I don't want to be yelled at." And with that he ran inside following behind his friends and his boss.

Inside...

"Yo Pinkie I thought you were...oh," Dash stopped saying what she was going to say when she saw a group of ponies following her pink friend.

I saw who I assumed to be Glamoure following Pinkie Pie and the ponies that worked for the yellow mare. Pinkie led them to a table and told them, "Make yourselves comfortable I will be back with some goodies."

Glamoure watched her bounce away before glancing at her table, "I would have preferred a desk but this will have to do," she stated to herself. She stood behind the table and waited with her eyes closed, head held high. The mare had the posture of a real business pony and her purple perfectly fitted business suit complimented. She also wore her favourite silver necklace.

Fireflight pushed her bosses chair in and once the front edge of the base of the chair touched Glamoure's lower thighs, the business pony sat down. Glamoure thanked her and placed her hooves on her lap. "Your welcome, your highness," Fira quietly mocked.

Silver levitated the briefcases onto the table and opened them. The black one had a camera that was placed in front of the yellow mare on her left. The brown one had paperwork and quills. Glamoure didn't have a horn for magic so she learned to write with her hoof. How you may ask? With a specially made quill holding device that strapped onto her hoof. This attachment was in the gold case.

The yellow pony glanced down at the funky colored case. "Huh? What is this?" she said. She pressed the little clamps down and with a click the case opened. Inside was a bunch of mags. Glamoure wasn't amused with the content and pushed the case aside, "Couldn't resist your urges could ya?"

Silver was confused until he saw what his boss was talking about, "Wait these aren't mine?" he said turning red. Nothing but Playpony magazines filled this briefcase. His two friends saw them as well.

"Nice loot bro," Midnight said.

"Wow," Fira exclaimed, "Nice stash."

Glamoure glared at the sweating stallion and said firmly, "Get rid of them."

"Gladly," was his response and the silver unicorn shut the case and threw it away in the nearest trash can.

Once he left Discord slipped out of the trash can as a pony ghost that he had transformed into. He grinned, "Poor fella's afraid of some sexy mares," he said, "that's a shame." The ghost looked around the room and spotted Tommy. Ponies couldn't see him cause he was invisible. The wicked ghost smiled, "Time to end it for all," he said as he shifted his eyes over to a pony peeking through the curtain. Discord floated over to the curtains and phased through them. He followed the pony to the dressing room. Once there he hovered above waiting and watching, listening to her speak to another mare.

"Okay darling," the pony speaking was Rarity, "Glamoure is here and now it is your time to shine."

"Oh Rarity, I'm really nervous," the mare Rarity spoke to was Fluttershy, "D-did you um s-see how many ponies were um out there?" she asked hanging her head.

Rarity caressed Shy's cheek with her own and said thoughtfully, "Don't worry your silly little head sweetie. All of your friends are here to support you. And Tommy, don't you think he would want you to do your best hmm?"

Shy had told Rarity about her being with me and Rarity understood why I couldn't continue dating or seeing her. The unicorn was more happy to see Fluttershy happy then to stay sad about us not being able to be together.

Shy lifted her head and smiled, "Of course," she answered, "I won't let you down Rarity, let's do this."

"Excellent, now stand behind the curtains, sweetie and try to ignore everypony else so you won't feel uncomfortable," the fashionista suggested and led Shy to the back end of the runway.

The timid little Fluttershy put on the biggest smile and took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll try," she responded. Tommy told her to keep her eyes on him and everything will go great, at least that's what Shy hoped.

Rarity went through the side door and over to her special guest. "Are you ready Miss Glamoure?" she asked. A simple head nod told her yes.

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT," a pony yelled dashing to table to table placing baked goods on every ponies tables and ending with Glamoure's table, "And here are Sugarcube Corner's top selling treats," she said with high energy. Pinkie placed the tray on the table and finished with, "...just for you 'cause you're the guest of honor."

The yellow business mare smiled and thanked her, "Why thank you, you are very kind."

"Okay Pinkie, thank you so much," the white unicorn said before pushing her pink friend away, "now please go to your seat the show is about to start."

With Pinkie sitting next to us, Rarity stood by her guest's tableside and levitated the rope to open the curtains. Once pulled I was amazed to see what the curtains revealed. Fluttershy was wearing a beautiful peacock like dress made out of chiffon. The bodice was fitted nicely in the sheath style with a sweetheart neckline. Her dress had full sleeves that ran down her forelegs. The train of the dress was cathedral and was over 5 feet long and was made out of real peacock feathers. This was attached to the waist of the dress, it draped over Shy's tail and rear. Her mane was very curly and was all to one side going down. She wore a dark green bracelet on her left forehoof and necklace with 3 peacock feathers on it with matching earrings. Her eye shadow was dark green as well and to finish off, she had on a headpiece and wing pieces. The headpiece was design like a peacock's tail when it flares open and she had on some feathery peacock wings attached to each of her own wings.

The lights went dim and a spotlight shined brightly down at the shy pony. Fluttershy stood there for a moment then slowly backed away ducking, she didn't like the light. Oh no I better do something, Tommy thought. He pulled out his phone searching for the flashlight app and clicked it on. Shy saw the little light and saw that her lover was the holder of the light.

"We-ll, I'm waiting," Glamoure said. Rarity gestured her scared friend to come.

Shy saw Tommy waving the light and smiled, "I can do these, focus on Tommy and shut everypony else out," she encouraged herself . One deep breath later, the little pony lifted her head high and slowly stepped forward.

I smiled back at her, oh boy did she look gorgeous, "That's my girl, you can do it," I told myself.

Her friends agreed, "Rarity did a great job on the dress," Twilight said.

AJ agreed, "With a dress like tha', there's no way Rarity wouldn't be selected as one of them finalist."

Pinkie Pie was like, "Fluttershy looks super-duper-amazing-awesome. Of course Rarity's going to win because she's a super-duper-amazing-designer."

However Rainbow's opinion differed, "She looks like a bird," We all look at Dash, "What? I'm just sayin'."

A moment's pause, "Okay, okay she looks good." Dash crossed her arms and glanced briefly to the side. Soon all eyes were back on Fluttershy.

The pony of utter beauty slowly traveled along the stage. "Oh gosh," the yellow pink maned pony said quietly, "Why is this runway so long?" Funny because the runway was only about 30 feet long.

Fluttershy was doing great. Glamoure took notes and checked boxes, Rarity relaxed a bit knowing that everything's going smoothly, me and her friends admired her, and other ponies were quietly saying nice things about Flutters.

As the kind pony drew closer to the end of the stage she heard the ponies saying nice things about her. Immediately she lost her focus. Eyes shifted left and right, smile fading, heart pumping faster, breathing faster and the presence of hair hiding her face and panic began to sit in. Shy stopped, crouched and backed away. She was now scared. "They're all staring at me. I-I don't want to do this anymore. I just want this to be over," she cried in her head.

"Oh no, dear," Rarity said quietly, "Oh Fluttershy." She saw her friend trembling and backing away, "This is not good."

"What is wrong with your model, Rarity?" Glamoure asked.

"Uhm...uh..," the white unicorn gritted her teeth. This may be it for her, if Shy goes off stage before the scoring is complete, Rarity might not be selected.

"Oh no, Fluttershy you can do it," Pinkie said.

Uh oh this wasn't looking good. Tommy tried flashing the light again but it didn't work, Shy ignored it.

Discord watched as the pegasus drew closer to him. He had came back to see his friend perform, still ghostly however. "The faster you finish modeling, the faster I can continue with chaos," Discord said and swooped down taking possession of Fluttershy, like a demon would. "Let chaos help you."

Rarity looked away knowing her dreams were crushed. At least dear Fluttershy tried, but what's this.

"I'm sorry Rarity but I can't...," Glamoure was about to reject Rarity's dress but stopped when Shy was walking towards the end of the stage at a faster pace. "Nevermind, I shall continue," was the mare's final words.

Rarity looked onto the stage and smiled. Shy came back.

"Alright Fluttershy! Hey girls, Tommy, look," Rainbow shouted. We all applauded.

"She worked the courage to continue," Twily said happy to see that Rarity may still have a chance thanks to Shy's boldness. But it was Discord who was controlling the pegasus.

Fluttershy in her right mind didn't know what was happening. She wanted to cry out but couldn't. She couldn't control herself to do anything.

Discord being Fluttershy now held her head up high with a grin that a seductress would give. She flattered her eyes then slowly turned around in a 360 so all can see her dress, then she posed with her right side facing the audience. She lifted one foreleg arched and her eyes were half closed.

This was not like Fluttershy at all, but on the other hoof, I was happy none the less to see her performing now.

The mare then walked towards the back of the stage letting her flank do the talking. Once there, she turned around, closed her eyes and stood on her hindlegs. At the same time her wings unfolded.

"Wow, the peacock wings conjoined with Shy's natural wings. When she spreads or folds her wings the peacock wings did the same as if the peacock wings were hers to begin with. That was a nice touch Rarity did," Twilight told the group.

The peacock wings were beautiful. Shy began to fly, flapping carefully to not damage the wings and lifted her arms up and outwards. Slowly twirling and lifting herself off the ground. The pegasus hovered for a second before continuing to twirl and hover across the stage. She did this so the train of the dress would not drag on the floor because of the length.

Now instead of landing she hovered off the stage and over the crowd. The spotlight followed her around the room still twirling. Discord used his magic to add a sparkling effect to the dress. As the light shined upon, it sparkled. Ponies loved it. "I mind as well make it look good," Discord quietly said.

Shy came around and straight to our table. She stared at me and smiled. Discord was thinking to himself, Soon it'll be all over and I will make sure of it. I returned the smile before the lovely pony glanced at her other friends who also gave warm smiles and retreated back to the stage.

Fluttershy flew down landing on the front end of the stage and walked towards the back. She sort of dragged her hindlegs to allow the tail of the dress to spread more wide, like a long wedding dress, while it dragged along the floor behind the pony. To finish, Fluttershy looked back at the audience and blew a kiss.

After a couple of seconds the lights turned on and everypony stomped their hooves and applauded.

Rarity was amazed and so was her special guest. Glamoure tallied the points and smiled at Rarity, "I must say, your model is very unique. And the sparkling effect, that was a very nice touch."

Rarity was confused though, she didn't recall putting that sort of effect on the dress. She pondered for a minute, but didn't care when she heard these next words, "Congratulations, you are now one of my finalist. I have enough photos for my album, thank you, you are a very talented designer." Glamoure gave Rarity a pass and entry paperwork to fill out and most importantly tickets for her and all her friends to board a train to Emerald City.

The fashionista jumped for joy thanking the business mare, "Thank you, thank you, I don't know what to say, but thank you."

We all went over to Rarity who ran to us. She excitedly gave us all hugs and we congratulated her. "Oh Fluttershy darling get over here," Rarity called out.

Fluttershy turned around and stood there grinning evilly like. I couldn't tell, but I headed over to her. She didn't move, she just waited. Halfway, I saw her stumble and lose her balance and she fell to the ground. I ran to her, "Hey baby are you okay?" I asked concerned. I picked her up to her hooves. I didn't know that Discord released control of her and left her body.

Discord, still ghostly, went to the dressing room. Staring in the mirror he said, "Now what better way to ruin a relationship than to be the pony you thought loved you ruin it instead." His ghostly body solidified into a pegasus. Yellow body, pink mane and tail, teal eyes...Fluttershy. "Haha haha haaahaha," Discord laughed staring at the pretty pony's reflection. "When magic fails, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hooves," Discord stared at his hoof and wickedly smiled.

A bracelet appeared on that hoof and looking back into the mirror, everything else that Shy wore was copied onto the Discord Fluttershy. From the headpiece to the tail end of the dress, this pony could fool anypony into believing he was the real Fluttershy. The pegasus flew away from the mirror and waited in hiding.

Fluttershy told me that something had took control of her body, she couldn't explain what. That didn't make sense to me and Flutters didn't seem to be hurt in any sort, but I had bigger fish to fry. I had to tell her the truth.

"Hey Fluttershy," I said softly, "there's um something I must talk to you about."

The pegasus saw sadness in my eyes, "What's wrong, are you okay?" she placed a tender hoof on my shoulder.

Staring into each other's eyes I say, "Let's go outside."

I headed towards the front door and my lovely little pegasus followed. Shy's friends trotted over and stopped the pegasus from proceeding.

"Go ahead, I'll wait outside," I told my marefriend. I went outside and waited on the side of the big tent.

My heart felt heavy as I thought about the truth. In the next few minutes, Fluttershy is going to find out everything. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and eyes took to the skies. This was really it.

Shortly after I heard hoovesteps coming around. "Fluttershy?" I said.

The pony stopped and stared at me with a smile. Then she ran towards me. "Hey! Remember me?" she excitedly said.

It was not my Fluttershy, "Oh...hey Lyra," I said quietly not expecting her.

Lyra nervously asked, "I was wondering if I could-"

"No," I said cutting her off, "you're not playing with my hands again."

Red was on the unicorn's cheeks now and she looked away placing a hoof behind her head, "Oh um, sorry about last time but I was actually wondering if you can tell me more about Earth. I knew it was real but nopony believed me," she gleed. She gave me the biggest smile wanting to know more.

I placed my hand over my face, "Not now Lyra, I need to talk to my marefriend."

The unicorn pouted, "Oh, okay," she hung her head and walked away.

I watched her leave before saying, "Look, maybe after I'm done I'll share some stuff with you." Which I doubted, cause I didn't know what was going to take place afterwards.

This made her happy, "Okay I'll wait," she said happily and trotted back inside.

I really didn't want to talk to her about anything, all I could worry about is my beautiful little pegasus.

Back inside...

"Fluttershy, you were so amazing," Pinkie said.

Rainbow added, "Who would of known you had it in you."

Fluttershy responded with, "But I didn't have it in me."

"Sure you did, darling," Rarity said, "you were the pony on the stage?"

The shy mare answered, "But it wasn't really me at all."

Everypony was getting a little confused. Twilight asked, "What do you mean? Clearly that was you flying and twirling and what not."

Shy shook her head and answered, "I just don't know how to explain it."

"Well sugarpie," the orange mare said, "rather ya felt it was you or not, the good news is Rarity won all thanks to you."

The fashionista wrapped her arms around her yellow friend's neck and thanked her, "Oh Shy thank you, thank you for doing your best."

"Your welcome," Fluttershy responded. The little mare was still not sure on what had happened to her, but she needed to go talk to her boyfriend so she finished with, "Girls if you excuse me, Tommy wanted to talk to me, I'll be right back...if um that's okay?"

Her friends let her go after Rarity said, "Of course Fluttershy. Oh and when you return I'll get you out of that dress okay."

"Sure thing Rarity," was the last thing Shy said before meeting me outside passing by Lyra.

Lyra really wanted to know about people and Earth like things but she had to wait. She saw Fluttershy walk by and assumed she must be Tommy's marefriend. The unicorn stayed by the entrance and waited for the right time to go back out to talk to the human.

"Oh T," Shy said giving me a kiss when she got up to me. I kneeled down so she could do this. "I'm so happy for Rarity and I can't wait for her to win and be the number one designer for Glamoure at the finals."

"Yeah, I'm happy for her, too," I said softly, "...and you do look beautiful."

Shy blushed and said thank you, "But um...what is it that you wanted to tell me?"

She saw the sad look in my eyes and the tears that were beginning to form. I hugged her tight.

Returning the hug, my sweet angel asked concerned, "T what is wrong? Tell me please." She sounded partially sad as she felt the sadness on me. It was like my feelings became hers.

I let her go and stared into her teal eyes. I began to cry and I held a long deep kiss with the pony I love so, so much. My baby, my angel, my darling butterfly had returned that kiss. I had to relax because Shy was starting to cry as well, "T, why are you crying? Please stop crying. Did I do something wrong?"

I shook my head no and wiped my tears and began to tell her everything, "Fluttershy, I have to confess something to you. I need to tell you the truth."

Fluttershy replied, "Um okay, what is it?" She did seem to be a bit nervous to hear what I was about to say. The kind pony wiped her tears away, but they would soon return when I tell her what's next.

I took a deep breath and held onto her hooves and confessed, "Shy, I've done some things behind your back that I regret. Fluttershy (deep breath) Shy I've been...," Oh God tell her, this was going to be so hard, "...been um missing around with...," I had to turn away, "...um with your friends."

"Wha-what do you mean?" the pegasus asked beginning to tear up. This was not good.

Tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't look her in the eyes on what I was going to say next, "I've ch...chea-cheated on you with your um...friends."

At that moment my baby started to cry and her heart dropped. Her breathing was much heavier before saying, "What? Ch-cheated?"

I stared at the ground and continued, "I slept with uh...uhm Pi-Pinkie back at the party when you were passed out and when I was at work I (gulp) had oral sex with Applejack," Oh by the love of God I was afraid to make eye contact with Fluttershy. Her tears were already running down her cheeks.

This sensitive pony of mine cried, "Why would you do such a thing? Do you not love me? How could you, how could you, Tommy?" she pulled her hooves away and covered her eyes and silently sobbed.

I gently placed my hands on her arms and cried, "Of course I love you Fluttershy."

"No you don't," she sobbed.

"But I do," I reassured.

Shy removed her hooves from her eyes and glared at me. Tears continued to roll down the sides of her face and she said angrily, "Then why? Why my friends of all ponies? Those girls are like my sisters. And if you did love me, why would you do such a thing in the first place?"

"Shy I had to do it I-," I tried to explain but the yellow pony cut me off.

"Had to what, mate? Because that's all you cared about, just like one of those horny stallions in town," Fluttershy said now being very upset, "If you wanted my friends so badly (sniff) why couldn't you just tell me?" The pony covered her face again and the waterworks began again. "Why would you say (sobs) say you love me if you truly didn't? (sobs) If I wasn't important to you (sobs) then why play with my heart. I thought you loved me, I thought I found my true love, but I guess not."

"I ONLY love you and I want to be with you forever," I said, "I love you with all my heart. Please Shy, I'm telling the truth."

The timid mare stared into my eyes and said, "Ponies who love each other wouldn't go around sleeping with their marefriend's friends." Shy cried and cried. I hated this moment but I had to continue.

"Fluttershy, I didn't want to be with your friends," I explained, "...and I wasn't expecting to have sex with them either. I was brought here to only kiss them and you because-" I had been cut off again.

Fluttershy was confused, "What are you talking about (sniff)?" she asked.

"Shy I lost someone dear to me and I made a deal with Discord so I can be with her again, but I needed to get with you and your friends to gain a kiss from each one of you," I confessed.

My baby cried like no tomorrow. Flutters sat back on her hunches and stared at the ground looking away sobbing. "So this (sniff) this was just a (sniff) a game for you?" my love asked sadly, "My love me-meant nothing (sob) nothing at all to you? And now (heavy sobbing) you're going to leave me."

My eyes were overfilled with salty tears, "You mean everything to me, your love means everything to me and I don't want to leave you," I said softly. I tried to hold my mare but she refused and pushed me off.

"So did you get my friends, huh?" she said now more upset.

"Well, uhm...," I stared at the ground and barely finished, "...yeah I guess, but uh-"

On all four hooves now she hit my chest with her forehoof and cried, "Then go, leave. Go be with that other pony." This beautiful creature turned away to leave but I had grabbed her left hoof preventing her to do so.

"Please Shy, yes it was because of a deal and I was using you at first but I never knew I'd fall in love again afterwards, please," I explained, "I want you, I love you, Shy I love you dearly."

"I'm sorry, but I'm hurt right now," Fluttershy said with great sadness in her sweet sounding voice, "I need to be alone right now." She yanked her hoof away and started galloping away. I had accidentally removed her bracelet when she did this.

I took off after her, "Shy, baby wait," I called out, but she had started hovering away when she heard me. I couldn't catch her and the pegasus flew through the town cutting left behind a building. Shy stopped and leaned up against the wall and peeked around the corner to see that I had dropped to my knees and cried.

"Fluttershy I love you, I love you, I'm sorry, please come back," I yelled hitting the ground with my fist. Tears hit the ground, my soul felt wrecked and my heart felt empty.

The last thing my angel saw was me holding her bracelet pressing it up against my chest over my heart before getting up and turning the other way. Fluttershy sniffed one last time before taking off through town heading to the forest.

I placed the round green ring in my pocket and headed towards the cottage. And not only that I had broke Shy's heart, but mine as well, something I did not want to do.

Lyra, who had heard everything had stepped out to follow me. A pegasus in a beautiful peacock dress had caught her eye and so the unicorn backed away.

"TOMMY!" she yelled flying fast towards the human. I turned and saw a furious Fluttershy jetting towards me. She stopped right in front of me hovering in the air at face level. Before I could respond she said, "Saying that you confessed that you didn't LOVE me, I must confess the same."

I quietly defended, "But I do lov-"

"No you don't!" she yelled but more calmly said, "...and that's okay because I truly didn't love you either ."

I tried to protest, "But-"

"No but's," my baby continued before I could say another word, "...I had those "strange feelings" as well and now that I'm free from them I can finally tell you that I was only using you, too."

I raised my hand as if to hold her hoof, but instead just said, "I thought you said you didn't have them." This hurt me deeply. Is it true that she was lusting after me as well? By the sounds of it, it felt like a yes coming out of the creature I thought loved me back.

"I lied," she confessed, "having sex with you and saying I loved you was all lust. I never wanted to demote myself to you ha are you kidding."

I cried and stared at the ground. Discord was right, I should of just listened to him. My now ex-marefiend continued to break my heart and tear it to pieces.

"I was only getting mine in just like my friend's," this mare seemed less hurt by each moment. No tears, no sound of sadness or anything. I could only stand there and received the hurt. The harshness grew as Fluttershy continued, "I would never love somepony like you, I don't want you, I don't want you part of my life, I will ne-"

I cut her off this time, "I really thought we had something," I quietly stated.

"Horseshit, we did. There will never be a me and you, got it," Fluttershy said crossing her arms, "there is no love here and if anything I hate what you did, in fact I HATE YOU. Now pack your shit, get out of my cottage, and go back to where you belong. I never want to see you again," and with that the yellow pegasus went back inside through a side door.

I stood there knowing this was it. "You see, Tina is the only one you need," that voice, that negative voice said, "true love was with her not that pony, that pony was FAKE." I clinched my fists tight and my sadness turned into anger as I stormed off.

Fluttershy stood at the window and watched me leave. "There will be a present waiting for you at home, goodbye, have a safe trip home haha hahahoo," she evilly laughed. Shy jumped for joy praising, "I did it, hehehaa and what fun was it." The mare yawned, "My work here is done," Fluttershy's dress disappeared off her body, and also the headpiece, wingpieces, jewelry, and the bracelet on her left forehoof. Fluttershy poofed away and reappeared as the Lord of Chaos. Discord said to himself before vanishing into thin air, "There is one more thing I must do."

Fluttershy's Cottage

I headed back to me ex's home to gather my things.

"I can't believe this," I said to myself angrily, "I should of stuck to the original plan, but no I had to fall in love."

"Hey, wait for me," I heard a pony yell catching up to me. I turned to see an aqua unicorn coming at me. She had slowed down when she reached me.

"Lyra, go home!" I said sternly. I didn't have time for her or this place anymore. Fluttershy was the only pony here for me, my ex-love now, so without her there was no fucking point to stay in Equestria. I continue to walk, but Lyra still followed.

"Are you and your marefriend going to be okay?" Lyra asked concerned.

"What marefriend? I don't have one anymore," I said making no eye contact.

This made the young mare sad, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"Don't be," I said cutting her off, "it doesn't matter anymore."

The pony didn't know what to say so she quietly followed me all the way to Shy's cottage.

The unicorn waited outside while I grabbed my things.

I went into the kitchen to grab a large trash bag and headed upstairs to the bedroom. Clothes were the only main thing I had, so I went through drawers and the closet cleaning them out. I filled the bag and tied it.

I was so hurt inside. I wiped the tears that were trying to form from my eyes. Oh Fluttershy. I sat on the bed and thought about the good times I had with her.

Something bright had caught my eye. On the dresser sat a box that a 2-liter could fit in. The box was glowing purple with a string attached to it.

I saw that my name was written on it glowing green. I looked around the room suspiciously, what was this? I stood up and slowly went toward it. I pulled the string and the box opened. All sides flapped open and there stood a familiar wine bottle. The right flap had some writing on it, "Congratulations you kissed them all," and the bottom said, "Drink from the bottle you see before you and home you shall be."

I took the bottle and was about to leave when I notice the left flap had some photos in it. I took them and cycled through them. They were photos of me kissing Shy and her friends, me and Applejack at the barn, Rarity at her boutique, Pinkie upstairs in her room, Rainbow out in public, Twilight in her treehome, and Fluttershy here on the couch. I placed all but Shy's photo on the dresser.

I love you, Fluttershy, we could've had something. You were everything to me. I searched for something to write with and on the back of the photo I wrote something for my baby. I dug in my pocket and pulled my switchblade out, flicked it open and stabbed the tip into the photo on top of the dresser. I did this to grab Shy's attention when she returned home.

That was it, I grabbed my bag and headed out with the bottle in hand.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" I heard somepony say. I looked back and saw two floating ghastly white balls about four feet apart. The two balls collided and a huge ovalish one formed. "Tina shall be yours again," the voice sounded like Discord's.

I saw Tina's spirit in the oval like mirror. Discord revealed himself and grinned. I took a moment of silence not sure what to say, but words soon came, "Discord, you were right," I hung my head, "Fluttershy never loved me."

The tall drac answered, "But this beautiful woman does. A deal was a deal afterall, so are you ready to be reunited with your long lost love?"

"To be honest no I just need to take some time to get over the fact that I'll never get to be with the pony I love," I answered, "but you know where to find me. Please take care of Fluttershy for me, I loved her full heartedly. I am going to miss my love," I sighed and headed out.

The ghastly oval mirror with Tina vanished leaving Discord speechless and confused, he only could think. Why wouldn't he want his precious Tina back? Did Fluttershy really mean that much to him? Oh whatever it doesn't matter. I need to wait for Fluttershy. And so he did.

I headed outside passing up Lyra. That pony followed however.

"Sooo, what now?" she asked.

"Home, that's what," I answered, "there's nothing here for me anymore." I stared at the night sky not knowing what life was going to take me. All I know is that there wasn't going to be a life without my love. It's happening all over again.

We came to a bridge and I pulled my phone out. Lyra hadn't made a peep the whole journey. She sat on her rump and stared down into the water. I skimmed through the photos of me and Tina. I wasn't ready to see her again or in fact I don't know if I want her back, I want my butterfly back. Tears hit the creek beneath. I don't want to fall in love again, why? So I can lose the next girl, too. I tossed the phone in the water, it was time to let her go and in due time I will let Fluttershy go, too. I was ready to go and so I pulled the wine bottle out, it was time to go home.

Lyra heard the splash and looked up at me, "What's that?" she asked staring at the bottle.

"My ticket home, goodbye Lyra," I answered and began drinking it.

The unicorn's eyes brightened and she whispered, "Earth." She levitated the bottle away from me and drank the fluids within quickly.

"Lyra NO!" I tackled her and grabbed the bottle, but it was already empty, "Son of a bitch," oh fuck what was going to happen. "Lyra what the fuck!"

She smiled nervously, "I didn't want to miss my opportunity to actually go to Earth."

This was not good. After a moment we felt our stomach's turn. "Ooh my tummy," the unicorn groaned. She curled up and held onto it. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. Shortly after that we blacked out and so there we were, Me and an Equestrian pony heading to Earth. Goodbye Equestria, goodbye Fluttershy…forever.

Fashion Model's Tent

Fluttershy on the other hoof was leaning on a tree crying. She didn't travel deep in the forest, she stayed near the town. She looked up at the starry skies crying out, "Tommy why? I love you." The heartbroken pegasus then thought about what Tommy did tell her. He said he was doing this because he lost somepony. Fluttershy didn't know if this pony died or what and Discord was helping him. Sure he apologized but this really hurt her.

Shy needed to see her boyfriend, she still loved him afterall but this mare needed to understand more on the situation and so she headed back.

Everypony was gone by now except, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, and the manager of the tent. Applejack went home cause of work in the morning and Dashie well she just wanted to crash.

Fluttershy walked in with her eyes close and headed towards Rarity. The white mare was concerned about Shy's absence and so was Twi. The Pink Earth pony felt something deep inside when she saw Fluttershy's gloomy expression.

"There you are Fluttershy," Twilight said, "we were wondering where you were. The manager wants to close down."

The kind pony ignored her and quietly said, "Um I'm sorry. Rarity could you please get me out of this dress please, I want to go home I'm tired."

Rarity used her magic to remove the dress and everything that accompanied it. "Oh of course darling," the fashionista said but notice the bracelet was gone.

Fluttershy felt her left hoof lifting and immediately said, "Oh forgive me Rarity, Tommy must of took it off by accident, but I'll get it back promise."

"Oh no worries, it's okay," The unicorn said reassuringly, "it is quite alright."

Twilight had notice that Fluttershy looked very down in the dumps about something when she saw her yellow friend walk in and so she asked, "Did everything go okay between you and Tommy? And where is he by the way?"

Everything was off of Fluttershy and Rarity placed the dress on a manikin, or a ponyikin in this case, that was on a wagon that she had near her.

The yellow mare slowly walked passed her friends and said softly hanging her head, "I really need to get home to him." The mare didn't want to speak to her friends about anything right now.

Fluttershy stopped and looked at Pinkie. A tear rolled down her cheek and in return Pinkie shed one, too. The party thrower knew that Tommy must have told Flutters everything. Pinkie was sad because Fluttershy must now know about her and Tommy having intercourse up in the bedroom at the party. She can see it in her eyes.

The Element of Laughter lifted her hoof to say something but Shy darted out. Pinkie cried a little. The mare was scared that she may have lost a friend.

"Fluttershy," Twilight called and was about to chase after her friend but Pinkie stepped in front of her.

"Twily I think we should talk to her tomorrow," Pinkie said, "She's tired and I'm sure we all need rest, its late you know."

"But something doesn't seem right," the princess protested.

Rarity spoke up, "Oh Twily, I'm sure Tommy and Fluttershy are fine," the mare said heading towards the entrance, "now come along now, I'm sure this pony wants to go home too." She was referring to the manager.

Twi thought for a minute then finally said, "Okay, but I am going to check on her tomorrow."

The 3 friends headed out and home. Pinkie was scared to see Fluttershy again, however, she needed to see her friend as well.

Fluttershy's Cottage

Fluttershy ran home to search for her love. She ran inside, "T, T where are you?" she called out. No answer. She searched downstairs, no T. She flew upstairs and checked the restroom then her bedroom last, but nopony. Shy panicked and she was getting scared and worried. She flew outside going around her home yelling, "T where'd you go?"

The pony cried and flew to the bedroom. Her tender heart raced and her chest pounded. She noticed the photos and in empty box on her dresser. She saw the box and read the flaps, "Going home?" she said to herself. She skimmed through the pictures of Tommy and her friends kissing him. This made her cry even more, "It's true, it really was all a game," she sobbed.

Shy notice the switchblade on an upside down photo. Using her mouth she removed it and gently placed it on the dresser and read the note.

Dear Fluttershy,

I'm sorry for what I did and hurting you. I love you with the whole entirety of my being. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and if I can't spend my life with the mare I love then there is no point in loving anyone or anypony else at all. I know you hate me and you don't want anything to do with me but I still love you, my angel. I know you said you don't want me part of your life so I am going back to Earth where I can't hurt you anymore. By the time you have read this, I should already be gone. Goodbye forever, my darling butterfly.

Your ex, Tommy

Tears over flooded her eye sockets. Dropping the photo Shy searched the closets and drawers and it was true Tommy took his stuff and he was gone.

The sad mare flew downstairs leaving her home to around town. Racing here and there calling from up above, "Tommy! T where are you? Don't leave me!" she cried.

Corner after corner, building over building, every possible spot searched she could not find her love. Fluttershy eventually gave up and went back home.

She stood in her room crying. The little pony remembered one piece of clothing that she had hid under her bed. Fluttershy crawled under her bed and pulled Tommy's swim trunks from under the bed using her mouth. Shy held the trunks close to her side like a kid would hold their teddy bear at night.

The delicate pony crawled into bed and cried herself to sleep holding the swim wear close to her face. She'll never see her true love again and she knew no other way to get to him. This mare will be alone for the days to come.

Discord watched this broken hearted creature fall asleep before appearing in the flesh. He sat on the bed next to the sobbing mare and gently placed his paw on her shoulder trying not to startle her.

Jumping a little Shy said, "Tommy?" she turned her head to see a tall creature staring down at her. "Oh Discord," she said realizing it was him. The mare sat up and leaned on his side beginning to cry again, "Tommy's gone (sniff) he's gone and I'll never see my love again, " the mare sobbed.

The drac rubbed his friend's side comforting her, "It'll be alright, my dear, but do stop crying," Discord said, "you know I don't like to see you cry."

Fluttershy's tear filled eyes looked up at him, "Well I'm sorry, but my heart is full of hurt, the love of my life is gone," she cried, "He's gone forever. I didn't want us to be broken up (sniff) I don't want to be his ex-marefriend, I love him," the poor mare began sobbing uncontrollably. Her heart was torn into pieces.

Discord shook his head, what was wrong with her? If Twilight negated my spell with one of her own then why hasn't my spell worn off Fluttershy yet? I don't understand. Discord's mind was full of confusion.

The drac stared back at his crying friend who was barely falling asleep. Discord's heart was turning, he was beginning to feel awful about all of this. He loved Fluttershy's dearly, as a friend of course, and now she's hurt and it was all his fault. He still didn't want to believe Fluttershy was truly in love, maybe he'll give it a couple days to allow Shy to recover and hopefully let Tommy boy go. But will she? He wasn't sure.

He sat with his friend who had finally fell asleep. Using his magic he covered the little pony with her blanket and let the mare rest by his side.

Discord stared out the window thinking about regret and shame. "Oh Fluttershy, I'm so sorry," he said to himself. As tears rolled down his side cause of the pony next to him, The Master of Chaos hung his head and a tear had hit the floor.

As the night went on, nothing but sadness filled that cottage.
