Flutters, Fly

One night, Fluttershy was sleeping on her bed quietly. She started having a dream, but thinking about the flying competition at the same time.

So her dream went a little like this: She was standing on top of a cloud, with pegasi staring at her, waiting for her to fly.

But she started shaking and thought, I don't want to do this, but... I guess maybe I'll have to... She looked down and gulped. Well.. here goes nothing... Prepare to watch me fall to my doom... She took off, starting to fly, but for some odd reason, her wings cracked. She started falling, especially screaming for help. But no one was coming to rescue her.

Pegasi were just standing there, watching her fall. They started laughing loudly at her. Fluttershy, Fluttershy! Fluttershy can hardly fly! They kept saying that out loud repeatedly.

As Fluttershy fell, she wanted to get up and leave.

But then the pegasi were beating her up, giving her bruises and stitches.

Fluttershy started crying. The pegasi stopped and kept laughing at her. Stop! Just stop it! I've had enough! So Fluttershy clumsily flew away with her cracked wings, but she couldn't stop crying... And so, when she arrived at her cottage, she grabbed a knife and cut herself. Then she slowly died...

And that's how her dream turned into a nightmare...

Every night she had a nightmare now and then...

So she had enough, she couldn't stand it. Her mane and tail was all messed up. So she decided to write something. She got off of her bed, walked over to a different table with a piece of paper, and grabbed a pencil to write this:

Nightmares rise, inside my head. Could I please.. just die instead...?

Then she put her pencil down, went back to her bed, and put her head in her pillow, still sobbing. She doubted that she'll ever feel better. She also doubted anyone would like to see her fly. So she didn't want to join the competition at all, she wanted to stay home and give up. As so on, she kept sobbing for the rest of the night. And most of all, she couldn't stop thinking about that very depressing flashback ever since she was a filly, getting bullied by pegasi...
