DeathView OnlineVisiting an Old FriendDeathAngel woke up, stretching his white legs. His nose twitched as a familiar scent wafted into his nostrils.... Carrots! The white bunny sped out of the cottage door and onto the road. A pile of carrots lay on the busy road. Angel, ignoring the roaring cars speeding past, grabbed the carrots and started nibbling his prize. Suddenly, a horn honked and a car ran sped towards him. He screeched in fright and anger, and leaped toward the cottage, but it was too late. Pain, then black. Total Darkness. Angel woke up abdruptly. Where was he? His body felt lighter, almost... weightless. In confusion, he looked down. Shock washed over him as he saw that his body was on the ground, with Fluttershy kneeling over it and crying. And he was n the air, floating a few feet above. The ghost of the bunny longed to reach toward Fluttershy, to hug her, to comfort her, tell her it was okay, but he couldn't. As hard as Angel tried, he couldn't touch her. His hand would just slip through her sobbing figure. In total frustration and confusion, he cried in anger. Why? Why did this have to happen? A soft voice came from behind him. He turned to see Princess Luna eyeing him sympathetically. He screeched again. Why? Why?! The Moon Princess sighed. "There, there, young one. Your time has simply come. Though you can't change time, you must watch over Fluttershy. Make sure her grief does not drown her." Angel nodded sadly. He knew that he had to visit her in her dreams. Princess Luna pointed a hoof at the corpse on the road. "Once your body I buried, you won't be able to visit her. She will have to visit you." Angel looked down at Fluttershy, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. Princess Luna sighed. "I'm not allowed to do this, but my sympathy for Fluttershy is great. You may touch her once more. Though she will not see you, she will feel you. I'm giving you fifteen seconds." The ghost bunny smiled in gratitude and utter glee. Angel scrambled toward Fluttershy, and placed a paw on her shoulder. Fluttershy looked around, her eyes still filled with tears. Finally, Princess Luna grabbed him gently by the scruff. She let go, and he remained floating. "Good Luck, Fluttershy," The Princess whispered.
ChoicesView OnlineVisiting an Old FriendChoicesFluttershy opened the door of her cottage, tears still sliding down her face. She set her saddlebags down on the table, and headed for the kitchen. She had just arrived from visiting Angel's grave, and she was tired. Extrememly tired. As she set a pot of water on the stove for tea, the grieving Pegasus eyed a knife sitting on the table. Oh, Angel. I wish I could join you. She thought. Fluttershy smacked herself. "No," She hissed under her breath. "Angel wouldn't have wanted that." A small voice in he head had different ideas. Why not? It would be so easy. Fluttershy smacked herself again, harder. "Shut up!" She screeched, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Stop it!" Hysterical, she turned off the stove and abandoned her tea. Fluttershy ignored the curious animals that approached her, worry in their eyes. She ran right through them. To her utter horror, she felt something in her hoof. She was holding the knife. Just do it. "No!" Do it. You'll get to see your precious Angel. Fluttershy looked down at the knife she was holding, her brain numb. "Maybe I will." She whispered. The Element of Kindness catiously held the knife in her left hoof. She hit her other hoof with it the dull blade, wincing. Dark blood seeped from the deep wound. Numb pain seared through her body. YeS! yEs! HaRdEr! The voice in her head was growing disoriented. Fluttershy jammed the knife into her neck. Blood gushed all over the floor and colored her body red. She screamed in agony, before closing her eyes. "I can't wait to see you, Angel." She whispered. The End
Loss and RegretView OnlineVisiting an Old FriendLoss and RegretThe yellow Pegasus looked around, her eyes adjusting to the darkness of the Everfree forest. The saddlebag set on her back itched, but she didn't touch it. How long had it been since she had bee here? A month? A week? She couldn't tell, not with all these memories overwhelming her. A light drizzle had started earlier. Drops of rain slid down her muzzle as she closed her eyes. Fluttershy was known to be kind, shy, and sweet. But what she was facing now, this was in another league. She ruffled her wings cautiously as she adjusted the lamp light. The element of kindness knew that under using the lamp would cause the monsters to come out. Mustering all her courage, she finally reached the grave tomb. The grave read: HERE LIES ANGEL, THE BEST PET THERE WAS She couldn't help herself as a small sob escaped her mouth. That was all that was needed for the dam to break. Tears slid down her cheeks, mixing with the rainwater. Her whole body shook as she sobbed, unable to contain her grief for her late pet. She stopped adruptly as memories flooded into her head. Angel, lying on the road, blood trickling from his smashed face. Most of his skin had been exposed, revealing tiny bones. The bones had been broken as well. The small animal's face was deformed, blood coating everything. Fluttershy remembered how she had screamed. How she had cried. How she had given in to the grief, not bothering to console her friends on the matter. Twilight had visited, worried about her friend, but the grieving Pegasus refused to say a word. She had waited untl it was night time, then stuffed the body in a small coffin. She dug a small hole, buried Angel, and carved a piece of stone. Fluttershy slipped out of her memories, and stared at the tombstone. The air felt...different. She clamped a lily between her teeth and carefully placed it on the grave. She would be back. She would not forget. THE END Author's Note This is just something I put together quickly. Hope you like it!
