A pain in the neck.
2) Cold rain
Previous ChapterCold rain fell. All ponies in black. A wooden box. The forever-bed of a friend. "Miss Fluttershy was an extremely kind pony who happened to pass away just yesterday, a terrible fate pulled her in after opening her door. It was unexpected and fast..." The stallion continued the service as Scootaloo asked Rainbow Dash about what the police had found. "I'm sorry kid, they haven't found anything or anypony," the rainbow-maned pegasus told the younger orange pegasus with tears welling up in here eyes. An orange hoof pulled in the cyan pony and gave her a hug as tears spilled down to the floor. Rainbow couldn't stop crying, she just held tight until she could let go. Sweetiebelle used her magic to give Rainbow a box of tissues and soon enough half the box was gone but eventually Rainbow had sat up and let go of the orange friend.
"We wish this lovely mare to rest in peace" The stallion concluded and the service was over. The former Main 6 and the former Cutie Mark Crusaders left as a group to get back to Twilight's castle.
A sad group of ponies entered the crystal castle and spike prepared some food for them as soon as they walked in. The eight ponies sat in the library and shared memories that they had with their recently passed friend, to remember how fun their life had been with her and how it would change in the future without her. In her will it said for all of her animals to be taken care of and gradually released into the wild or taken care of by professionals, it was up to the rest of the element bearers. "I think that they should be looked after by professionals, we don't know how to look after them that well and we couldn't get Zecora to look after them" Applejack said, then the rest nodded in agreement, none of them knew truly how to look after and understand animals. Twilight got in touch with Celestia and asked if she knew anypony who could understand and look after animals, then when the reply came back there was an uneasy atmosphere as the letter was read out. " My dear Student, I am afraid I do not know anypony but all I could recommend is a zoo or just to release the animals into the wild but keep an eye on them to make sure that they will be OK. Celestia." Twilight finished the letter then put it down. She said "We should just release them into the wild then make sure Zecora is on the look out for them if they end up in the forest." The rest then slowly nodded to agree. It was all they could do, the animals do not deserve to be kept in a zoo to be looked at and possibly be treated badly. What else could they do?
Twilight decided to discuss a plan she had made "If we release the large animals that no-pony would ever be able to look after then the smaller animals could be looked after by other ponies, maybe this is the best plan of action that any of us had made."
"Twi, I think this is a really good plan, the larger animals like bears can be released to the wild as they can survive but the smaller bunnies or even birds can be looked after by other ponies! I think even Fluttershy would agree with this I'm sure this is what she would do." Rainbow said in a happy voice. So the plan was accepted and animals were released into the wild, others were given to farmers for produce and then some where given as pets for the ponies. All went well and then the cottage was put up for sale, everypony was pleased with how well everything went. It was getting late by the time everypony was back so they called it for a night in the castle...
