the real truth

Chapter 3: The real truth
Sunset POV
My friends(that included Fluttershy and my brother) filed into Flash’s room, the place where I died. My body was now buried under the tree where Flash and I had our first kiss, in the garden. Seats were arranged in a semi-circle around 2 chairs, the chair I hovered on, and the chair Flash would sit on. I took a deep breath.

“When my 2 kids were born, when Flash found out I was dead,” I began, “I told him not to tell them until they were 12. Well, you all deserve to know what happened.

2 weeks we had been staying in the manor, I woke up to a nightmare of Demon Shimmer. Again. I saw a dark figure come into this room, I realised it was only Fluttershy. I turned over and went back to sleep. Little did I know she crept up on me and stabbed me in the heart, the blood spreading like the levels in Fireboy and Watergirl, you know that popular game we used to play as kids, remember, Nightstar? Spreading like wildfire, in fact. The next morning, Rarity woke up to find me, and she told herself she would solve this mystery. She did. Evidence pointed to Rainbow, Applejack and Fluttershy. But only one did it. It was Fluttershy. Obviously, Shy was put in prison for a few years. But Flash, my wonderful husband, probably had the worst reaction. When he found out, he sobbed over my body for a long time, until I(my ghost) piped up. I think that might have given him a shock, didn’t it, Flashie? But our real concern was our 2 kids. How Flash would raise them, and to be honest, Flash raised them very well. Although they will never know me, I’ll never know them, I saw them grow up. 12 years old. So, my daughters. I’m sorry if you don’t have the same love, but you must know that I love you to the end. Flash, is there anything you’d like to say?”

“Um,” said Flash. “Yeah. As Sunset says, I found it rather difficult to raise my kids. But with her support and Applejack’s as well, thanks, by the way, they’ve blossomed into 2 beautiful young flowers. And as a father, I’m proud of everyone for supporting our family through these tough times. So thank you everyone, and I hope you all have a lovely evening!”

Everyone clapped as Flash took a bow. I smiled.

“I’m sorry, Sunset.” whispered Fluttershy. “I just had to avenge Snowball and I vowed I would hurt the person or people involved in the death of my dog.”

I smiled. “It’s okay, Shy. It’s too late. I know.”
