Everything was perfect in Equestria, the sun was up, and all the ponies were happy. Little did they know that this was soon about to be over.

Five years after the Canterlot wedding. Canterlot had been invaded by changelings and Celestia was nowhere to be found, it was already looking bad for the ponies in Canterlot, not only for Canterlot but for Equestria, villains would come from everywhere.

Years later Equestria has fallen into darkness and loneliness, there was no hope for Equestria, Queen Chrysalis succeeded in marrying Shining Armor and took over Canterlot, Nightmare Moon came back and banished Celestia to Jupiter and as for the mane six, well. They had given up on friendship.

Canterlot

“Get her!” A changeling commander yells as a herd of changelings was chasing a yellow pony out of Canterlot castle, another herd was already waiting outside the castle.

The pony continued to run outside of Canterlot castle, they took a sharp turn and ran towards the waterfall and jumps down, the changelings stop chasing her and look down at the waterfall.

“You slow changelings!” The commander yells at them all and flew back inside to tell Queen Chrysalis about the news.

The commander bowed down in front of Queen Chrysalis and said “I’m sorry my queen, we could not catch up on the thief, they stole a lot of the Castles accessories” the commander said while still bowing down.

The Queen got mad and threw a chair across the room “Send out a swarm of changelings! Search for this pathetic anti-Pegasus! Find Fluttershy!” The queen yelled at the commander and flew towards the gala room where changelings have been hanging out.

Meanwhile

The yellow pony was falling alongside the waterfall with her front hooves and head pointing down towards the lake underneath her, the bag on her back had some stolen things from Canterlot.

She came down to the bottom and made a big splash in the lake, she continued to swim before getting up and starts running towards the Everfree Forest.

The yellow pony made it to the Everfree Forest and then ran through it to get to her house, she made it to her little cottage “phew, finally home again…” The mare said and put the saddlebag down on the ground.

The pony lays down on the couch and “Hey, you bear! Come over here and rub my back gently!” The pony said rudely, the bear walked over to the yellow pony and then started to rub her back gently.

The pony relaxed until the bear accidentally scared her back “Hey! Be careful! Ugh, you are so out, get out of my house you beast! Here I’ve been taking care of you! Me, your only friend, Fluttershy! Well, guess what! We aren’t friends anymore, get out!” The yellow pony called Fluttershy yelled at the bear.

The bear ran out of the cottage house, leaving the door open and Fluttershy saw a herd of Changeling coming towards Ponyville. Fluttershy packed her stolen stuff and then ran towards Ponyville.

Fluttershy made it to Ponyville before the herd of Changelings, she found a souvenir shop to sell her stolen items.

After selling the items, Fluttershy quickly ran back home to her cottage before the Changelings made it to Ponyville.

Fluttershy’s Cottage

Fluttershy made it back to her cottage but in front of her house stood a familiar pony, the pony was purple, with a dark blue and highlights ruined mane, the pony looked to be badly hurt as well.

“Yo! What are you doing outside my house” Fluttershy yelled at the pony, but when the familiar-looking pony turned around, Fluttershy’s eyes widen, and her face went into shock “Twilight?” Fluttershy asked before pulling her into her cottage.

Fluttershy covers her windows and door, she turns off all the lights in the house but leaving one candle at her table. Twilight was sitting on Fluttershy’s couch and waiting for Fluttershy to come back from the kitchen and talk.

Fluttershy was making tea for both her and Twilight, she walks out of the kitchen and sits down on a chair “so Twilight, why did you abandon us all?” Fluttershy rudely asked Twilight and Twilight looks in shock.

“W-Wow Fluttershy... I never thought you would say something like that.” Twilight said in a soft and unsure tone, “what happened to you?” Twilight asks Fluttershy.

“What happened to me? Well, you left us all, we all split apart, I’ve been fighting to keep the Everfree Forest animals at ease which caused me to get my wings removed.” Fluttershy said sounding like it was not a big deal.

“I-I’m so sorry Fluttershy… but seems like you’re not the only one in bad condition, I tried to go up against Starlight Glimmer again but… In the fight, I broke my horn, and I ran away… like the coward I turned out to be” Twilight said in a sad tone, she looked down at her tea before taking a small sip.

Fluttershy shrugged and then looked toward her door when she heard some footsteps “Shh! Be quiet” Fluttershy said and then slowly walked towards the door and grabs a weapon.

After ten minutes the footsteps slowly disappeared, Fluttershy puts the weapon down and walks back to the couch “All alright, I think they're back to Canterlot now…” Fluttershy said and sips a bit of her tea.

“Well… Why don’t we try and assemble everyone and then fight every villain, once and for all!” Twilight said, forcing confidence on herself.

Fluttershy signs and then shakes her head “Look, I’ve already gotten used to this life, I can’t handle another change… although, if it means that I don’t have to steal from Canterlot to survive any more than sure” Fluttershy said and then puts her finished cup of tea on the table.

“You can stay here for the night Twilight Sparkle,” Fluttershy said and then walks to the kitchen to clean up after making tea.

“Thank you, Fluttershy and please just call me Twilight, like you used to do,” Twilight said smiling softly, Twilight grabbed the blanket and laid down on the couch.

Fluttershy walked over to Twilight “goodnight Twilight” she said before walking upstairs to her bedroom and lays down.
