''To be a Quiet Pony''

''Fluttershy'', that name can describe the personality of the pony who owns it.

In PonyVille, known as, the shyest mare that could ever lived there, named...''Fluttershy''.

Fluttershy was always a shy pony, as her name says, and maybe that's why she couldn't make any friends. I mean, she did have her animal friends and...her cottage, but that was enough for her? There were days when she will just feel alone. Especially when the spring will come, Fluttershy will have to let go to her animal friends to go find their soulmates, and she will be alone for a few weeks or even the hole spring and summer.

Fluttershy will not go outside only If it was necessary, when she will run out of food or other important stuff. She was lucky once when a new shop was open close to her aria, but it got closed after a mounth, so she had to actually go in the town to buy the thinks she needed. It was..you can say..a tough job for a pony like her, not because she was lazy or incapable, but because she couldn't speek with anypony. She couldn't ever do that, she will probably say something stupid and ponies will laugh at her so, she will talk only when it was necessary.

But, she did once had a friend, not a best friend, but a friend, Rainbow Dash was her name, the best flyer in all of Equestria. Sometimes, she will do the groceries for her, but after two years they lost touch. Of course, she maybe got sick of doing her groceries so she just left. She didn't visit Fluttershy for five months now.

Fluttershy tried to look for her but she give up. She just sat there in her cottage, crying in her bed for days, the depression was starting to grow up again in her soul. It followed her since she was a little filly, from all the bullying, from all the stress in her life, the stress with her family, the stress with her little brother, with the school, with the money and the fact that she didn't had any friends, plus the bullying. Only Rainbow Dash known about this. But know, she was gone now.

It was time know, it was time for a chance.

Fluttershy realized that she couldn't continue like this. She needs friends.

As she was finally left her cottage, she taked a long breath, the smell in the air was still the same like it was three years ago. That was the same time when she talked longer with a pony:

~Flashback~

''...now, follow me everypony! A one and a two and a one, two, three--'' -Fluttershy

''Hello!'' -Twilight Sparkle

''Oh my! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to frighten your birds, I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful!'' -Twilight Sparkle

Of course, Fluttershy didn't say anything.

''I'm Twilight Sparkle! What's your name?'' -Twilight Sparkle

(Just don't say anything. Maybe, she will leave me alone. Owwhhh) -Fluttershy said to herself

''Ooookey then. I'll just..leave I guess...'' -Twilight Sparkle

As Twilight Sparkle was leaving, Fluttershy tryed to stop her but she stopped herself instead. She just leave shortly after too. They never spoken to each other again after that.

~End of Flashback~

After that, Fluttershy was too emberessed to talk with her...or with anypony else.

As she entered into the center of the town, Fluttershy spotted a group of four ponies sitting at a table.

(Okey Fluttershy, now is the moment!) -Fluttershy said to herself

As she got closer, she saw that one of the stallions raised a hoof at her. Fluttershy blushed and tried to hide behind her mane but refused to do that so, she got closer.

''Ummm, I-I'm sorry to bother you all...umm..ponies but ca--'' -Fluttershy

''Noh, noh. There isn't any problem dear!'' -Stallion

Fluttershy got a surprised expression. The other three ponies got a questionable look on their faces but the stallion who sat in the middle, gived a wink at the three ponies in response.

''So, what's your name?'' -Stallion

''I'm....Fluttershy....'' -Said Fluttershy quietly.

''Fluttercry! Nice to meet ya!''-Said the stallion with a fake, cheerful voice.

The other ponies started to laugh except one mare who she got an annoyed look.

''Ummm..I'm sorry but it's Flutt---'' -Fluttershy said ad she got interrupted.

''Nehhh! It doesn't matter. Besides, Fluttercry sounds much better! You should chance it!'' -Said the stallion, giggling.

''Oh, I guess it will be okey!'' -Said Fluttershy with a smile.

The three ponies started to laugh again, except one mare.

''Ughhh! Cut it off alrea---!'' -The mare said as she got interrupted. The stallion, putting his hoof around her muzzle.

''Hehehe. Shut up before you ruin everything!'' -Whispered the stallion at the mares ear.

The mare rolled her eyes, slapped the hoof of the stallion, got up and leaved.

The stallion got an annoyed look on his face, almost scary for Fluttershy, but he giggled and said:

''Oh, ignore her! She's always a bummer! Hehehe.'' -Stallion

''Oh, ummm, okey...'' -Fluttershy

''Soooo, Fluttercryyy! Tell me about yourself! C'mon! Don't be shy.'' -Stallion

''Well, actually...I am shy.'' -Fluttershy

''Aha, interesting. Tell me more!'' -Stallion

''Well, actually..If you don't mind me asking..what's your name...?'' -Fluttershy

''Meh, trust me it doesn't matter.'' -The stallion said as the other ponies started laughing.

Fluttershy got a weird look on her face but she didn't wan't to show it. She doesn't wan't to be mean.

After 23 min. of Fluttershy chatting with those ponies, the stallion said:

''Aha. Sooo, Fluttercry! Do you wan't to make friends, huh?'' -Stallion

''Well, yeah..'' -Fluttershy

''Good. So, you know you can't make friends with that look? Hmmm?'' -Stallion

''My look..? But-----''. -Fluttershy

''I mean, If you wan't friends, you need to change your look!'' -Said the stallion, giggling.

''Well...I guess it will be okey.'' -Said Fluttershy with an uneasy smile.

''Ohkey Flutters! Now, we gotta go so, we will see each other next time!'' -Said the stallion with a laugh.

As the ponies were leaving, Fluttershy was heading back to her cottage more happy then she was before.

''Finally, I made some friends!'', she said to herself.

''Oh but now, I need to change my look..'' -Said Fluttershy

She took one pare of scissors and started to cut some parts from her mane. Of course, Fluttershy didn't know any particular style so, she was just waiting to see how's gonna look finished.

Fluttershy founded herself with some scratches on some parts of her head. Some of them were even bleeding. She was just...bald in some places.

She..didn't make quiet a good job. But her new friends wouldn't mined it, right?

The next morning, Fluttershy was excited to go see her friends. She hoped that they will like her new look.

They were in the same spot, at the same table chatting. But this time, they were only three. The other mare didn't come this time but Fluttershy didn't seem to care that much.

She ran happily towards them, leaving behind only ponies with a terrified look.

''Hello! umm....friends.'' -Said Fluttershy with a happy smile.

The ponies from the table looked really surprised and shocked at the look of Fluttershy.

''She...really did it...'' -Said the stallion

''Ummm...Fluttershy, you look ki----'' -Said another pony from the group, but got interrupted by the stallion.

''You look--Amazing!'' -The stallion said.

Everypony stared at the stallion with a surprised look on their faces. The stallion whispered something at the pony next to him, and he spreed the word to the others. They all agreed with some worried expression on their faces.

''Ummm...do I look okey?'' -Fluttershy

''Sure! But...there is a problem miss.'' -Stallion

''Hmm..?'' -Fluttershy

''You...you need to change more then that.'' -Stallion

''Umm..how much..?'' -Fluttershy

''Well, your body maybe, your wings look kinda weird, maybe your eyes or even your Cutie Mark!'' -Said the stallion as he started to laugh.

''But!--'' -Fluttershy

''Umm? You don't wan't to be in our group? You don't wan't to be friends with us?'' -Stallion

''O-Of course I wan't!'' -Fluttershy

''Well, then go! We will see each other next time.'' -Said the stallion with a smirk.

As the ponies were leaving, Fluttershy was heading back to her cottage.

She find herself sitting in her bathroom, looking in the mirror.

''I need to change.'' -She said

''I...how I'm gonna do this? .... Maybe, If I get rid of them..yes, this should work!'' -Fluttershy said with a laugh.

With a knife brought from the kitchen, she pointed it at her face, she didn't even realized when it had happened but the knife was already in her right eye. Blood started dripping on her cheeks and mouth. She sat there for a moment until the pain has already started.

She tried to take pule the knife back, she screamed and screamed but she managed to take the knife back. Her eye was pure red, blood mixed with tears were still falling on the floor.

Fluttershy looked in the mirror and smiled.

But this wasn't enough, she still has to resolve some imperfections.

The minutes go by as Fluttershy scratched her skin. Her wings were already gone, they were cut and ripped apart, only the bones and some skin were visible.

The floor was painted with blood as well as the walls. Fluttershy was filled with pain but she couldn't scream because of the large chunk missing from her face. Fluttershy was ready to pass out but her job wasn't done.

With her knife, she reach for her Cutie Mark, it was the last think that it was missed. She made a circle around her CM and ripped up. The blood, muscle and the nerve veins were shown.

Fluttershy leaned there, om the bathroom floor. Blood still dripping from her, making some gurgling sounds.

She cried:

''I have friends now.''
