Fluttershy remembers the times she had, with a long lost friend.

Not much is said about fluttershy when she was young, other then she loved animals. Did she have any friends? People always thought of fluttershy was an innocent pony who wouldn't hurt anyone, until people saw what she was really made of. How did she get that way? Was she always like this or did someone teach her?

Fluttershy has had a friend who changed her completely. From being shy and helpless, to having enough courage to take action during a problem. But this pony has been gone for so long, she forgot almost everything she learned. Sure she has new friends but, this pony was more then just her friend. This pony was like a brother.

After finding something that reminded her of him, she went into a depression. Friends tried to help, but she just wanted to be alone at the time to cope with her emotions. She never said anything about him. All that happened was time passes, and she slowly forgot her first friend.
(This is my first story, so leave some comments on how I could improve, and what I'm overdoing)
I don't consider this a romance, but my friend said it "sorta" is

2: Who, When, and How

"Hey have you seen Fluttershy lately?" Twilight asked Rainbowdash.

"No," She replied. "Why?"

"Well its just, I haven't seen her in five days." Twilight said looking around.

"Ehh she is probable just busy, taking care of her animals."

"I don't know," Twilight said a little nervouse. "Five days just seems like a long time. Lets go cheak on her."

"Do I have to?" Rainbowdash complained.

"No."

"Good I will see you la..." Rainbowdash said.

Twilight cut her off saying, "But your a good friend so thats why I know you will anyways." RD sighed following Twilight.

Once reaching Fluttershy's house the two noticed that the door was open. Walking in they repeativly said, "Fluttershy, are you in here?" The two walked up to the door that had the sign. Twilight slowly opened the door and saw Fluttershy on the ground with a few animals, holding a necklace in complete depression.

"F... Fluttershy," Twilight said. "Are you ok?"

"Please just go, I want to be left alone," She replied.

"What's wrong?" Rainbowdash asked. "I have never seen you act like this." Fluttershy looked at RD, and showed her the necklace. RD looked at it for a few seconds an said, "Hey isn't that... NO. Fluttershy I'm so sorry."

"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked.

"Fluttershy and this one pony were best friends," RD replied. "But, about five years ago he went to help out with some guards in a far away town, and never returned. His name was like... William, no. Wilbur, no...."

"It was Wilson," Fluttershy said while getting up. "And he wasn't my best friend, he was my everything."

"So he was your boyfriend or something?" Twilight asked.

"No," Fluttershy said. "Wilson was like a older brother to me. Always protecting and teaching me new things. If I never met him, I might have been dead."

"If it wasn't for him," Rainbowdash said. "There is a good chance ponyville would have been destroyed."

"Ugh girls," Twilight said. "I'm new to this."

"Sorry," RD replied. "You could say that Wilson was, ponyvilles guardian."

"Guardian?"

"Well there was a time where some of the wild animals in the everfree forest attacked our town. And if it wasn't for him, they may have taken it over. He created wepons that insted of hurting things, it would strike fear in them."

"So why didn't he return," Twilight asked still confused.

"A war broke out in the town he was sent to, and most of the guards were held hostage. All escaped but three, Wilson was one of them."

"Your correct," Fluttershy said as the three walked out of the room. "Now please leave, I want to be alone."

"Lets go," RD said.

"But rainbow..."

"Lets go now," She replied pushing Twilight of the the main door.

"So why is this one guy such a big deal?" Twilight said as her and RD walked.

"Fluttershy never really said how they met, you could just tell they were loyal friends," RD said.

"How?"

"You could just tell," RD said thinking of an example. "They were like two halfs of one pony, almost completely opposite. But they were there for each other as if the fate of the world depended on it."

"So then, why did he leave in the first place?"

"I'm not sure, he was wierd about helping people," RD replied. "If he had nothing against somepony, even if it was a stranger, he would help them."

"Well im sure Pinkie Pie can help," Twilight said. "She can put a smile on anything. Thanks for the information."

"No problem," RD said flying away.

3: Unwanted help

Twilight entered Sugercube Corner and Pinkie Pie greeted saying, "Hi Twilight, what can I Help you with?"

"Can you throw a party for Fluttershy to help her out?" Twilight asked. "She is pretty sad."

"Sure," Pinkie replied. "But, why is she sad to begin with?"

"She got depressed when she remembered something about a guy named Wilson."

"I remember him, but I don't see any reason of why that would get her sad. Sure Twilight, lets go," Pinkie said as the two left to go see Fluttershy.

Fluttershy sat in a chair trying to remember what Wilson sounded like, after almost completely forgetting him. "Hey Fluttershy," a voiced called out. She looked to see it was Pinkie. "How about we have," Pinkie said pulling out a cannon. "A party!" blowing the cannon off.

"Now is not the time," Fluttershy said.

"I know your sad about Wilson," Pinkie replied. "But im sure a cupcake eating competition would brighten up you day."

"It brightens anypony's day," Twilight said picking up a cupcake.

"The first cupcake eating competition you had with Wilson got him diabetic," Fluttershy said giving Pinkie a face that looked similar to me-gusta.

"I got diabetese from that," Pinkie said eating a cupcake. "But that never stopped us from future competitions." Fluttershy gave Pinkie a stare so disturbing that her hair deflated. "Ugh Twilight, we should go."

"But Pinkie, what about Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"She will be fine, lets go now." Pinkie said pushing Twilight outside while shaking.

"Pinkie what was that about?" Twilight asked as Pinkie shut the door and the two walked off.

"Fluttershy gave me that look one time before," Pinkie said frowning. "She promised never to stare at me light that again, she needs to be left alone for now."

"Why did she give you that stare before?" Twilight asked.

"Well..." Pinkie said trying to remember. "Those cupcake eating competitions me and Wilson had, may have slightly put him in a diabetic coma. Fluttershy may have gotten enraged, and may have emotionally depressed me with the look of her eyes to the point that I couldn't smile for a week."

"Woah," Twilight said in slight shock. "But, your Pinkie, nothing, NOTHING, stops you from smiling."

"I know," She replied.

Twilight looked at a flyer on the side of a building and said, "Hey Pinkie, you know that ponyville party coming up later on today?"

"Ya, why?"

"Im sure that will help out fluttershy, getting out and talking to people," Twilight said. "And I'm sure Rarity will be more then glad to make her a dress. Sure Fluttershy is shy but, a town party couldn't go bad."

Later on the same day, there was a knock at Fluttershy's door. Fluttershy answered it and it was non other then Twilight. "Hi Fluttershy," Twilight said.

"Hi."

"The Ponyville party is happening later on today," Twilight said. "And I thought that it would cheer you up to go."

"I rather not."

"Please Fluttershy," Twilight pleaded. "Rarity even made you a dress for today."

"Fine," Fluttershy sighed.

"Great, after you get dressed just come over to my place," Twilight said giving Fluttershy the dress and leaving.

Fluttershy put on the dress, went outside, and started walking to Twilights house. The sun was setting and she thought to herself, "Twilight is right, talking to some people could get me in a better mood." Entering Twilight's house, Fluttershy asked, "Twilight, are you here?"

"Give me a second," Twilight replied. Fluttershy closed the door and noticed a flyer on the back of it that said...

A Friend for Fluttershy

Looking for any male pony who is willing to be a good friend to a girl named Fluttershy.

Must be protective, encouraging, and nice.

Go to the Ponyville Library if you wish to apply.

Twilight entered the room and Fluttershy asked, "Twilight, what is this?"

"No don't look at that!" Twilight shouted while using magic to lock the door behind Fluttershy.

"Whats going on?" Fluttershy asked.

"I brought you here so that I could help you find a new best friend," Twilight said a little embaressed. Fluttershy stared at her, while trying to say something, Twilight said. "You can interview everypony to see which is best for you." Fluttershy tried to speech again but Twilight interupted saying, "I locked the door, so you might as well." Fluttershy sighed and sat at a table, one-by-one a new colt appeared.

"...So am I going to be your boyfriend or something?" The colt asked

"Next," Fluttershy said.

"...So am I like a bodyguard or something?"

"Next"

"Hi there sexy."

"Next"

"Yeah, I could see myself dating you."

"Ehhh... next," Fluttershy said facehoofing.

Colt after colt went and left. "Twilight this isn't working," Fluttershy said walking towards the door. "Can I please go?"

"There is still one last..." Twilight said.

"I don't care," Fluttershy said.

"But Fluttershy,"

"I don't care!" Fluttershy shouted. "You think this is helping? In no way is it! This is just depressing me even more, why can't you understand that? Open the door... NOW!" Twilight said nothing and unlocked the door. As Fluttershy left she ripped the dress off of her in complete rage.

Twilight frowned and walked into the next room telling the colt inside, "I'm sorry but, this is done with."

"Did someone get the part?" The colt asked.

"No, she isn't looking for anypony at the moment to be a friend."

4: An unexpected gift

The moon was high in the sky, and Fluttershy sat near the edge of a river. "In what way was that going to help me?" She said as a few squirrels sat next to her. "I don't think she will ever understand."

"Spike," Twilight said. "Write this to the princess."

Dear Princess Celestia

I've learned that friends come and go, but love stays forever. A heart is big enough to be friends with everypony you meet, but small enough to only love one. When I learned about Fluttershy's best friend, and how she acted remembering him, at first I thought she could find a new pony. But I realized that it wasn't the case, you can never replace love.

"Send it," Twilight said leaving the room.

Fluttershy walked to her house. She stopped noticing a pony sitting near her front door. When the pony saw her, he stood up and smiled. The light blue skin, dark blue hair, and blue eyes looked familiar, but she wasnt sure if it was a ghost. He then got out the A friend for Fluttershy flyer and said, "The hell is this?" Fluttershy knew, it was Wilson. And without hesitation, she ran towards Wilson and gave him a hug.

With tears down her face she said, "I can't believe your alive, I missed you for so long."

"It has been exactly five years," Wilson said with a tear down running down his face. "But I'm here. I have one question though, as soon as I got here today I saw this flyer. What is this all about?"

"Sorry," Fluttershy said letting go of him. "A friend of mine thought it would be a good idea to get a new best friend."

"Thats bullcrap," He said.

"No it's true, she did try."

"Complete BS," He said. "Sense when did you have friends?"

Fluttershy hugged him again and said, "And you need a haircut."

"Really?" Wilson said, "It's only been 3 years."

"But how... why... five years," Fluttershy said in shock.

"Well..." Wilson said

"As you can remember I gave you my lucky necklace, thinking you would need it more them me. And was I wrong there. It was originally only a 4 month mission BUT... The town I was guarding got attacked by a lot, and I mean A LOT of bandits. They outnumbered not each guared, but each pony 20-1; and sense it was a pretty populated town, and the only people who had any fightin experience were me and the other 34 guards. Things got a little out of hand. The bandits then took every guard and a few civilians to their base as hostages, as you may have heard."

"Ya I did," Fluttershy said.

"Well we were stuck in that dungeon for a month, and IT SUCKED. The ransom wasn't that big, it was certainly nothing Trollestia couldn't pay."

"You still dont like here?"

"Couldn't care less if she was kidnapped. Anyways, I was able to get the keys off a bandit guard one day, freed everyone, and we tried to escape. Do you know what a gun is?"

"Ya, never seen one though, they are pretty rare."

"This bandit hideout was a city of its own, and EVERYPONY had a gun, even the kids.Yes there were bandit kids. Gunfire in almost every direction was faced at us, two of the guards died though. Everypony else was able to get out unharmed where guards were outside to escort them back home. Everypony else... but me."

"Why were you unable to get out?" Fluttershy said a little confused.

"I decided to be a decoy, so everypony else would get out unharmed. Me and the two guards that died... I was stuck in that dungeon for seven more months. They then decided to send me to there main base because I caused to much chaos. I thought that was there main base, I was wrong. There main base was like three-times bigger then Canterlot; and yes, everyone had a gun."

"So much for being rare," Fluttershy said laughing a little.

"Yeah... What ever the government tells you is a lie about bandits. They DO have guns. They ARE dangerous. They DO NOT let you go over time. And the government WILL NOT pay your ransom, not even to me."

"I could get the *not paying for you* part," Fluttershy said. "But Princess Celestia didn't pay the ransom for any of the hostages from the town."

"Not a single one. They then realized that Trollestia didn't care for me; so on a daily bases for half a year, they tortured and brainwashed me into believing what they did was right. So for a year and a half, I was on there side joining raids, and living my life as a mechanic. And for a rare sight, in a high industrial place, I saw a butterfly. It has pink wings and when it flew onto my shoulder, everything came back into my mind. Why I was there, how I was brainwashed, and everything that happened back in Ponyville. I remembered everything I did, remembered helping you out, remembered my pawn shop."

"Sense you left, your pawn shop hasn't broken down once," and as Fluttershy said that, a one story building at the edge of Ponyville collapsed."

"Way to jinx it... well atleast I have lifetime insurance," Wilson said. "I had to get out of there, but before doing so, I planted bombs all over the place. And as soon as I was able to escape, I set them all to explode. I wasn't going to leave without some revenge."

"What about the kids?" Fluttershy asked.

"The kids were the worst. Complete douchebags who had to respect for anyone. I was able to find a town close by and asked if anyone knew where Ponyville was. No one did and it turns out... I WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. Yeah... so for two years I traveled from town to town asking about Ponyville, and helping them on the way. Becuase you know, It's not in me to not help those in trouble. I had a traveling companion for the first year though."

"Really?" Fluttershy said, "Who?"

"Her name was Maka, and im going to be honest. She had more balls then me."

"What do you mean?"

"She would fight anyone, go anywhere, and do anything. Pretty much the bravest person I have seen. She also didn't take crap from anyone. It was a death sentance if you screwed with her. So I made it official and when we parted ways, I asked here to be my new sister."

"So now you have three?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah. So for the other year, I kept walking from town to town."

"Wait," Fluttershy said.

"What?" Wilson asked.

"Sense when did you walk?" Fluttershy replied.

"...Yeah I was surprised myself. But I managed to get some help, and was able to find my way back. I saw a flyer that said A-Friend-For-Fluttershy. Went to a library, was last in line, and when I was next, I was told to leave. So I came here and waited like 30 minutes for you."

Fluttershy laughed and said, "you came."

Wilson thought for a few minutes and then said, "Oh now I get it. Anyways, do you know what the worst part of this journey was?"

"What?" Fluttershy asked.

"I lost everything I had on me," Wilson said hitting the ground. "My wepons, my steampunk wings, and worst of all..." he tried to hold in his tears but was unable to. "I lost, my suit."

"No," Fluttershy said in shock

"Yeah," He replied. "So what did you do for the last five years?"

"...Made friends thats bout it."

"No im serious." Wilson said.

Fluttershy just stared at him for a moment and said, "So how did you deal with your skitzophrenia?"

"Surprisingly, no hylusinations happened."

Fluttershy hugged him once more and said "Well im glad that your back and okay."

"I see a party is going on," Wilson said. "You still to shy to go to one by yourself?"

"No I was to sad to go, plus Twilight, the one at the library, put me up on speed dating."

"Well it's not that late," Wilson said walking away from the house. "Come on, I could go for another coma."

Fluttershy followed him, smiled, and said, "You haven't changed a bit."

1: Remembering

It was an average day in ponyville, nothing interesting was happening and everyone was doing the daily thing. Rarity was making clothes for an upcoming party. AJ was kicking trees to harvest the apples on the farm. RD was clearing the skies of all the clouds. Pinkie pie was baking just because it was fun. Twilight was researching new spells to practice. And Fluttershy was caring for the animals.

After feeding and making sure the animals were healthy, she decided to clean up around her house. Some of the animals decided to help dust the place. It wasn't long until Fluttershy stumbled apon a door she never remembered being there. A sign was on the door that said, "You have hooves... good luck." Fluttershy realized the door handle was spherical, so opening it was a hassle. "A spherical doornob," Fluttershy said. "What kind of joke is this?"

After finally being able to open the door, she went in and turned on the lights. The room was overall dark and dusty. Black bed sheets, gray paint on the walls, and metal was all over the ground. This all seemed rememberable to her, but she didn't know why. Noticing something, Fluttershy walked towards a dresser. It was a necklace. When Fluttershy got a good look at it, everything came back to her memory.

Instantly, she fell and started crying. The animals tried to comfort her but it was no good. She wasn't sad, she was enraged. With anger in her eyes and tears on her face she hit the floor and said, "Why... why did it have to happen? Why him... why?" She remembered his name, what he looked like, and what they did together. She remembered everything that happened. How they met, the fun they had, and much more returned to her as she kept crying.
