Bloodlust

It had been a few weeks since the ghostly presence of her friends and ever since, she started hanging out with Big Mac. She didn't know why but she enjoyed his company more than anypony else's, Maybe even more than her deceased friends. She felt different when she was with Big Mac, she felt as if her friend's deaths had never happened, she felt warmth. Warmth that flowed through her making her feel special and loved. It was a strange feeling to her. The only place she recognised it from was when she realised she loved Rainbow Dash. That thought made her pause. She was feeling the same way as when she realised she loved Rainbow. This had to mean something, something she never thought would happen. She'd fallen in love with Big Mac! Could this be the reason for her need to be with him? Now she knew how she felt, she had some serious thinking to do. She couldn't tell him, in case she got rejected but what if he felt the same way? She decided to get some sleep and think about it in the morning. She curled up in her bed with Angel by her feet and drifted off to sleep.

She woke up feeling strangely happy. She hadn't been this happy since the day before that dreadful night at Sugarcube Corner. Then she remembered what she had been thinking the night before. She thought long and hard about it and decided to tell him. She went over to the phone and dialed Sweet Apple Acres. The phone rang and rang until finally Apple Bloom picked up.
"Howdy! How can ah help ya?" asked Apple Bloom.
"I-I'd like t-to speak to B-big Mac please," replied Fluttershy.
"Sure Fluttershy, ah'll go get Big Mac!" said Apple Bloom joyfully. Fluttershy heard her run away yelling for Big Mac. She now heard louder hoofsteps and Big Mac's voice.
"Eeyup" He said into the phone.
"I um I-I um..." Fluttershy got nervous and hung up, red-faced after embarrassing herself. She left her house and for the first time in ages, she opened her wings and flew away.

When she eventually landed, she was on a cliff. The highest cliff she knew, the fall was bound to kill. It was also Big Mac's favourite place to hang out. Fluttershy walked closer to the egde, slowly and nervously. She was tired of life. She was never going to get anywhere, she was too shy. She got shakier closer to the edge. She wanted to join her friends in the sky: Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, the old Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. Fluttershy was right on the edge of the cliff when Big Mac saw her, ready to jump and for the first time in a long while, he said more than just 'Eeyup'.
"No! Don't do it Fluttershy," he pleaded, "Fer me?"
"I have to," Fluttershy said sadly, "I can't do this anymore." There were now tears running down her face.
"Ya don't," Big Mac replied, a hint of guilt in his voice now, "ah've been meanin' ta tell ya something."
"W-what is it B-big Mac?" she asked. He walked closer to her and whispered in her ear.
"I love you."
"Y-you do?" said Fluttershy, now walking away from the edge of the cliff.
"Yes." Fluttershy's heart skipped a beat.
"I l-love you t-too Big Mac."
It was at that moment that Fluttershy collapsed.
