Fluttershy's Remembrance

“Okay, girls, who wants to get the spell first?” Asked Twilight.

“Oh! I do! I do!” Exclaimed Pinkie Pie, who was jumping up and down.

“Ok then. Hold still…” Twilights horn glowed up and zapped Pinkie.

“There! Who’s next?” One by one, the Ponies were struck with Twilights magic, which let them walk on the clouds like a Pegasus Pony.

“Ok, Pinkie Pie, go get the balloon started.” Demanded Twilight.

“Okie Dokie Lokie!” said Pinkie Pie.

“And stop saying that!” Shouted Twilight as Pinkie walked towards the balloon.

Fluttershy walked onwards, to a hill far enough where she could see PonyVille, but PonyVille couldn’t see her.

“Goodbye…” She said, and this time not shedding any tears. She walked down the hill on the opposite side she came up. Fluttershy didn’t know where it was, or how long it would take to get there, but she knew one thing. It was in one direction. She just had to walk in one direction for a while and she would get there.

After a few hours of walking, Fluttershy came across a town. In the town was a sign  that read “Welcome to: Fyrtown!” Fluttershy knew this town. One of her friends said she lived there. She was also released when Fluttershy was released from the facility.

“I’m going to go see if she’s here.” Said Fluttershy, triumphant. She walked into the small town and it was also pretty lively, just like PonyVille. Ponies out in the paved courtyard talking with one another, others in the shops smiling and purchasing things. Maybe if she were to find her, she could help her back to the facility.

“Excuse me, have you seen a Pony with red hair and red fur?” Asked Fluttershy to a group of Ponies.

“Um, you mean Shining Heart right? She’s probably at home crying herself to death.” One of the Ponies answered, in an “I’m better than anypony” tone.

“Yes, where is her house?” Asked Fluttershy in her nice soft voice.

“It’s that way.” The snood Pony responded, motioning her hoof down a street. “Her house number is 265”

“Thank you.” Fluttershy said, walking away from them going towards her friend’s house.

“263, 264, 265! There!” She said, walking towards the door.  She knocked on the door, and didn’t get a response. She knocked on the door again, and got a response.

“Go away! Can’t you hear that I don’t want any company right now?!” A voice from the inside yelled out. It was her.

“I’m sorry, Heart. I just wanted to say hello…”

“Fluttershy!? Is that you!?” Shining Heart slammed the door open to greet her old friend. “Oh it is you!”

“Um, yes…” Fluttershy said quietly.

“Well!? What are you waiting for? Come on in!” Shining Heart was happy to see her old friend.

“Why were you crying Heart?” Asked Fluttershy.

“Oh, my no good boyfriend left me without a goodbye! I don’t know where he went…” She started to tear up again.

“Who was your boyfriend? Why would he leave you?” Fluttershy was curious.

“Just FireBurst. You remember him, right? The pyro at the facility? He left me! Something about a cure, oh I don’t know!”

“When did he leave you?”

“Just yesterday… I just can’t stand it… See, look…” She shows Fluttershy a golden hoof bracelet. “We were engaged!”

“Oh that’s terrible…” Fluttershy truly felt sorry for her friend.

“I know…!” Shining Heart soon stopped crying and asked Fluttershy a question.

“*Sniff* Anyways, why’d you come to see me?”

“I had a question…”

“Oh, what is it?”

“Where is the facility…?”

“The facility!? Why on EARTH would you want to go back there!?” Shining Heart was pretty much yelling now. “We played our part there, and the whispers won’t bring us back.”

“The whispers! You had them too!?”

“Well, yes. Me, you, and Cloud Kicker all received the microchip. Remember?” Shining Heart was right. Though Fluttershy cringed at the word “remember”, she was right. The microchip, the tests. It all came back clearly to her.

“I need you to come with me then.”

“Are you crazy!? I’m not going back!” Once again, Shining Heart was yelling.

“But I can’t go alone!”

“Maybe you’ll come across Cloud Kicker… She was always the gullible, was she not?”

Time began to freeze. This time it wasn’t for Fluttershy. It was for Shining Heart.

The whispers spoke. “You remembered easily. You will go with your friend.”

“O-Okay… Just don’t hurt me again!” Shining Heart was crying as time slowly began to start.

“I’ll go with you, Fluttershy.”

“Really!?”

“Yes… For my own reason. I have no use being here… Now that FireBurst left me…”

“Oh, thank you!”
