"But Fluttershy-"

"Yanno she's not a tree, right?" Twilight rolled her eyes.

"She's not a tree, Dashie!" Pinkie's voice was far too loud, and she was even more

excited than usual. Twilight had to pull the tipsy pony back down by the tail as

patrons of the bar turned to look.

"But guuuuys," Rainbow Dash was drunk to her ears, "She was tooootally going on

about it, 'If I were a tree, I'd be stronger. I'd like to be a tree'."

The rumors, well, nopony was sure when they started, but it was probably a few

days after Pinkie's outburst in the bar. There had always been muffled rumors

about her sanity after the "You're going to love me!" incident at the Grand

Galloping Gala, but in respect to the loving pegasus, they had never met her ears.

This was fuel to a spark though, and erupted in a wildfire.

"You're such a loudmouth." Fluttershy's voice was quiet, hurt, and far darker than

usual. She couldn't even look at the other pegasus. They stood in the Cakes'

bakery, Pinkie had pulled the two there, by force, to talk it out.

"Flutter-"

"Do you even know what they say about me? That I'd like to be a tree! ..A tree...

A TREE! You're such a loud mouth!" She repeated, walking towards the display case,

she saw her reflection in the glass and turned away. "Maybe if I were a tree,

built of stone i wouldn't hear all the jokes about 'Demon spells', but I'm not."

"Flutter-" The door slammed closed before she could continue.

As time went on, the rumors only got worse. The others tried to end them, but that

of course didn't work.

"Fluttershy?", a voice spoke from behind her one day. She jumped in shock, then

turned hurriedly. The squirrels she had been feeding fled.

Berry Punch, town drunk, stood there. "Hey flutter," she said softly, leaning in

more than Flutter was comfortable with. The yellow pegasus tried to gain her feet.

"Y-yes?" She asked uncomfortably.

"I just want to tell you," she smiled, "about your whole tree thing. About that

whole, being reborn as a tree to be stronger-" The magenta pony waved her hoof in

the air vaugly, ignoring flutter's squeaks.

"Reborn?! I never said that!"

"The whole tree thing, you really are a chicken. I, and the rest of us neighsayers, applaud you."

"What are you saying?" Fluttershy's eyes were wide.

"It's just a good thing you want to be stronger and-"

"STOOOOOP!" Fluttershy's scream was heard all across the park as she fled.

She lay in her bed, petting the sleeping Angel. "I'd like to be a tree...", she

spoke softly to herself. "I would be stronger". She closed her eyes and snuggled

into the rabbit, who squeaked in pain when she hugged too tight. "Sorry, Angel...

I'm so sorry." She tried to sleep, but all that kept flashing through her mind

were the words of the other Ponyvillians said the last few weeks. Even the foals

were ridiculing her now. Even the little trio she loved so much had begun calling

her a chicken.

She cracked her eyes open, "To be a tree... Oh, that would be wonderful."

The moon was full that night, and the cliffs they stood on cast endless shadows

far beneath them.

"Just wait it out one day and night longer!" Twilight begged.

But the plea fell on deaf ears, "Fluttershy, as a tree, you'll be stronger," she

told herself solemly then stepped back.

The air was cold, and filled with the smell of rain, the mayor closed her book

softly and spoke to those surrounding the mound one last time. "Fluttershy, take

our hearts and prayers with you."
