Pyramid Head goes to Ponyville

"...And then there's Lyra, Bonbon, Soarin', Spitfire, Cheerilee, Rose, Ditzy, Dinky, Mrs. and Mr. Cake, Carrot Top, Thunderlane, Lotus, Aloe, Berry Punch, Octavia, Vinyl..."

"Pinkie..."

"Zecora, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Caramel, Big Mac, Granny Smith, Colgate and-"

"PINKIE!" I yelled loudly.

The Pink pony looked at me in the eye with a giant grin. "Yeah, Pyramid Head?

"I only want to know the names of your best friends, not everyone you know." I was getting really annoyed with this horse. Talking to her was as useless as beating a dead horse...or, pony. You know what, lets just go with equine.

"Oh! Okay! There's Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack!" she said happily.

"Finally... Do you know where one of them could be? Maybe... um... Twibright, was it?"

Pinkie pie giggled a little. "No, silly! Its twilight! She's probably in the Library over there!" She pointed a hoof down the lane. I looked to see a strange but lavish looking tree house.

"Alright then." I began to gallop quickly towards the tree house. "Thank you, Pinkie!"

"HEY! WAIT! COME BACK!" Pinkie called out. I wasn't listening to her at the time. I was too focused on getting help. Fluttershy was still out there. She could be sick, or cold, or hurt, or...

I shook my head. I had to keep my hopes up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fluttershy was tired. More tired than she had ever been before. Her body hurt, her chest and foreleg were sore and still broken, She had severe headaches and lasting stomach pains that tore her up inside.

She weakly looked over. The Slender pony still stood there, as still as a statue, its white, blank face staring into her very soul. She quickly looked forward, not wanting to look at that disturbing face. But, with a little bravery, she managed to look at him without wavering.

"Who...Who are you?" She said weakly.

The Slender pony just stared at Fluttershy, not giving any sign of a response.

With some of the confidence that she had just picked up, Fluttershy managed to stand on her 3 useful legs. She limped slowly over to the White pony, not trying to be frightened by that ghoulish stare that it had.

She was almost 10 feet away when she heard a gruff, low whisper come from the pony.

"What are you doing?"

Fluttershy was a little startled by the creatures voice. In response, her body tensed, causing a streak of pain to rush through her chest. She winced, but once again started to slowly approach the demon.

She got about a foot away from the pony once again spoke.

"Stop."

Fluttershy looked up at this ponies face, the white mask of fear. She didn't fear for it now, for some strange reason.

"Who are you?" She asked again, more persistent.

The pony remained silent for a second. But then...

"I don't remember..."

Fluttershy's mind rocked for a second. She had never imagined the pain one has to face when dealing with Amnesia, but now she was. What a terrible burden it must be, to not even remember your own name.

"Do...Do you know where you came from?"

    "I SAID I COULDN'T REMEMBER!" The pony suddenly roared with rage. Huffing, it turned and started to walk in a frustrated circle, now showing more life than it ever had before. "I Have been stuck in this...this colorful Hell for sometime now! Its driving me insane!" The Slender-Pony began to bang its head on the rotting wood of the cabin, almost breaking the wall down with his force.

"Now, there's really no need to..." Fluttershy began. The Slender Pony snapped its head at Fluttershy, cutting her off immediatly.

"No need to what?" The pony said in a soft, dangerous voice.

Fluttershy started to back off a little. "N-nothing..." The Slender pony turned slowly, and started to step closer and closer to Fluttershy.

He got closer and closer, Fluttershy whimpering softly in fear that he would hurt her again as she started back away.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you." His tone...God, it just was as dangerous as a minefield, calm, and yet one wrong turn, and Kaboom! "How about you come here and tell me that again?" The Slender-Pony's tentacles waved slowly, poised to strike down upon the yellow pegasus.

Fresh tears sprouted from Fluttershy's eyes as she felt her back bump against the wall. She was trapped, about to be hurt again. Only this time, she feared she couldn't take it.

"No."

The Slender-Pony's head cocked to the side. "Wha-?"

"NO!" Fluttershy screamed in rage. She felt a certain heat build up in her head, and now she was releasing that power in the form of The Stare.

The Slender-Pony immediately shuddered, lowering to the floor with pure fear.

"H-hey, now, n-no need to get u-upset..."

"UPSET!?!?" Fluttershy roared with fury, her stare not wavering a bit. "YOU THINK ITS OKAY TO THREATEN SOMEPONY LIKE THAT? TO KEEP THEM HOSTAGE? TO HURT THEM BRUTALLY WHEN THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG?!"

The Slender-Pony backed up quickly, shaking with fear. He tripped and fell on his backside, scooting furiously into the corner as the Once-terrified pegasus charged up to his face, her eyes boring into the back of his skull like drills made of molten lava.

"HELP!" The Slender-pony screamed as he wretched his neck to the window, hoping someone heard his cries. He looked back at the terrifying pony, who was no less than 3 inches away from his face.

"You think someone can hear you?" Fluttershy asked quietly. "Remember that we are in the Everfree, Where almost NO-ONE dares to go."

"O-Oh God." The slender-pony said, almost whispering. "W-what are you going t-to do?"

"What am I going to do?" Fluttershy said with the same level of danger that the Slender-pony had not a few minutes ago. "Well I'm...I'm...." She reared up, her hooves about to smash down upon the Slender-pony's face. But, she stopped. She slowly placed her hooves on the ground again, her head down.

"I can't..." she whispered. "I can't hurt anyone or anything, no matter what they did to me..." Fluttershy looked up at the Slender-pony's blank face. "All I want is just to go home. Back to my animals, they must be worried sick. And starving too, its past their meal time."

The Slender-pony just stared at the pegasus, who not two seconds ago was about to destroy him. He pondered whether or not she was insane, or just Bipolar. And to believe that she was thinking of her animals and not about herself or her injuries....

"A-alright." The Slender-pony stood up shakily, brushing off his back fur and his suit. " I-I'll take you home. But it's a ways, and I'm the only one who knows how to get back through the woods."

Fluttershy considered this for a second. "Okay then. Lead the way, if you can..."

The slender-pony nodded, and started to walk towards the door. Fluttershy tried to follow, but found that the pain in her chest had returned. She winced and whimpered painfully. The Slender-pony turned his head to the hurting Pegasus, then after a few seconds of thought, trotted over and used one of his tentacles to lift Fluttershy onto his back softly. He then walked out of the door again, the dim beams of afternoon sunlight flowing through the forest's vegetation. The leaves and sticks beneath him rustled and crunched as he walked through the forest.
