30 Minute wonders

Fluttershy’s final moments. 30 Minute Wonder. By LOLSTERNATER (Tim)

She should have dodged that swing from that bear, she should have moved, should of not had her left wing and shoulder ripped to shreds. But here she was, Fluttershy the caretaker of the wild, bleeding to her slow death from a bear.

She couldn’t believe it herself, why would a bear do this? Was the world coming to this, where ponies had distanced themselves from nature so much that nature now feared them? Fluttershy had tried to calm it, to help it, but all she got was a blank look and then anger.

She was lying under her favourite tree, next to the creek by her house, looking back on all the animals she had helped or saved. She had taken down a dragon and yet she felt like she had done nothing. Fluttershy cried softly, thinking about all her friends and what they would do when they found her, in bloody tatters. They would hunt down the bear, kill it and skin it. Those thoughts only made her cry more.

I’ve always helped them, why would they do this? What would make them turn on me? All my bunnies and birds. This was also true. When she returned broken and bleeding her so-called animal friends did nothing but swoop angrily at her, as if blaming her for the attack.

She sat under that tree alone, no angle, or friends, or animals she had helped seemed to care or know that she was in pain. Who will feed them when I’m gone? Who will teach the birds to sing? All these things need to be done, and I won’t be around to do it. All these thoughts and worries went through her head as death came ever closer.  The memories she had always loved and cherished were the last things to go into her thoughts.

Those days at flight camp with Rainbow Dash. Finding the ground and all the sweet animals. Leaving flight camp with Dash, who gave her savings to Fluttershy so she could buy the cottage and live with the animals. Those years of getting them to trust her.

The day she had meet Twilight who then brought all six of the elements together and bring new friendships with them. The new things she learnt, the hardships, the fun times, always being the weak one yet being treated like an equal. The day where she saved her friends from a dragon, the day she saved her friends from a manticore, all those adventures, and none of them were there to save her when she needed them. She felt anger and hate for the first time, blaming her friends for not being there when she needed them like she had always been there. They were just like her animals, always there until she was worthless.

She was fading, both in the soul and in body, her element was failing. She began to scream, swinging her hooves everything trying to hit something, to hurt it. That only made the bleeding worse. The world started turning black, and she sank into the emptiness that was now her mind, lost in all the things that made her life bad. She died with those thoughts, only remembering the bad times because then death comes and the world goes numb, those are the only things that can help you feel again.

Fluttershy was found about 30 minutes later. Twilight could hardly believe what she saw. Not just the fact that Fluttershy was dead with a torn up corpse, but her dead expression was that of life and laughter.

Fluttershy had found the one thing that could make her smile as she had slipped, not friends or memories, but through death she saw this story, and how bloody shit it is.

THE END

(I have no imagination, sue me)
