Ploomette: Fluttershys lost sister

Fluttershy used to love her older sister more than anypony else in Equestria when she was young. Growing up together in the same tiny home located on the quiet side of Cloudsdale, Ploomette served as little Fluttershy's big role model. She taught her how to be kind to others, how to care for animals, and even how to fly. Fluttershy remembered how scared she was that day, standing on a floating cloud and trembling uncontrollably.

"I-I don't think I can do it, sis, I want down! it's too high up, i've scared of h-heights..." the lanky yellow foal shivered, trying her best not to look down and see the nauseating array of clouds that spiraled down into endless trees and grass hundreds of metres away from where she and her sister were.

Ploomette however, did not budge. She would get her sister to fly today, no matter what got in their way. Together, the two would watch older pegasi whisk past them on their way to flight-school everyday, and Fluttershy would always be startled, but expressed her desires to also be able to do the same thing.

"Fluttershy, I believe in you, all you have to do is flap your wings really fast, here, ill even help you," she explained patiently, flying up to her little sister's level and gently landing on the cotton-shaped cloud. "Grab my hooves, I'll show you how to do it."

trusting in her older sister, Fluttershy lifted her hooves out, squeezing onto Ploomette's light-pink ones as she hoisted her up high into the bright-blue sky. "See 'Shy? it's not so bad, can't you see all of Cloudsdale from up here?"

Fluttershy closed her eyes, not wanting to get frightened and accidentally let go. She didn't think Ploomette would be fast enough if she fell, though she was older, she was still a filly capable of only going so fast, and pegasi weren't allowed to be taught nose-diving until they were a certain age.

"I don't want to look! what if you drop me?" she squeaked. "Fluttershy!" Ploomette laughed. "Just open them, you're going to want to see this." her voice sounded farther away now, and it confused the yellow pegasus.

"F-Fine!" Fluttershy gave in, removing her hooves from her face as she looked down. She realized Ploomette had let go of her, and she was flying in the air all by herself.

"Wh-hey! I'm really doing it! I'm flying!" it may not have been that high up in the air, but for a beginner filly like her, it was an impressive feat. Ploomette flew up to her proudly. "You sure did! And you just finished telling me you weren't good enough at flying. Proves I'm always right!"

"Hey! No, you aren't!" Fluttershy replied, sticking out her tongue. "I just like to play safe, that's all! if one of us got hurt it could've been really bad!"

Ploomette giggled. "Oh Fluttershy, you and your excuses," her smile faded a little, her gaze meeting the petite cloudy house their family lived in eversince they were born. "Its uh, just a shame mom and dad couldn't have taught us more, their always too busy with work."

Fluttershy flew up to her sister. Her mother and father always ignored them, no matter what issue they had. What Fluttershy found strange was, despite them always claiming to be busy, they never did anything, it was almost like they just didn't want their daughters around them at all.

"Uhm..well," feeling somewhat mischievous that morning, Fluttershy lightly pushed her sister. "Race you over to that rainbow waterfall over there!"

"You kidding? you just learned how to fly, you'll never beat me, hehe!" Ploomette replied, taking off as the light-yellow pony flapped harder to keep up.

Afterward, the two fillies had a blast chasing each other around the clouds and playing games. Sometimes, Ploomette would even set her sister onto a cloud and pull it around with her front hooves. It was the best thing ever for little Fluttershy. She loved to fly under rainbows with her sister, they were the prettiest things she had ever seen, with there vibrant arrays of all color.

"Hey Ploomette, how are rainbows made?" Fluttershy asked one day, snuggling up to her. Ploomette blinked at the sudden change of conversation, but smiled. "Oh...I heard, Celestia farts them out, and sticks them into clouds!" she raised her hooves to further emphasize her point, making a funny face.

"Nuh uh, That's not how it works!" Fluttershy dismissed, but laughed anyway. Ploomette was always pulling her tail, but she was funny about it, so she couldn't be mad at her. Infact, Fluttershy couldn't remember a single time her and her older sister hadn't got along, as fillies, they were two peas in a pot. One wasn't complete without the other.

Another thing the two sisters would get up to was pretend games. Ploomette always dreamed of being a princess, which got her a cutie mark with a heart-shaped crown on it. She had it before Fluttershy was born, so she never knew its true origin story. Ploomette would often tease her about it, making up tall tales about how Celestia said she was destined to become a princess, or how she had found a magical tiara that gave her it.

"Come on Ploomette, how did you really get your cutie mark?" Fluttershy asked in her shy-whispery voice. Ploomette was digging through a big sparkling box, but it wasn't any ordinary box laying around in their play-room.

The two had a massive dress-up box, and when they pulled it out of the closet Ploomette was always either the princess or queen. Fluttershy preferred to be the equerry, because she was never that good at roleplaying knight. They even had one of those giant pastel painted toy castles they'd play in. Most of the time, Fluttershy's parents ignored her even more then they did their eldest daughter, so her big sister was all she had.

It made Fluttershy very sad, all her parents seemed to do was feed her, tell her when bed-time was, and run the bath for her when she needed it. Ploomette would aalways bring a light into her life she needed. Without her, Fluttershy would be lost.

But the one thing the two loved most was singing together. It was a secret thing, they'd never do it in public where other ponies could hear. Ploomette was the first to introduce Fluttershy to it, but together the duo was like a miniature choir. They could even reach the high notes!

"La, la la!" Fluttershy sung. "Am I getting better?" she asked shyly, blushing at the thought of another pony finding out about the two's secret activity. Ploomette clapped her hooves toegther. "Perfection! you belong on stage!"

"Oh..I don''t know sis, I've never been seen by all the other ponies before," she hid behind her long mane. "I think i'd forget the words in the song and mess up."

"No you won't, i'll be standing right next to you. When we get older, we're going to be famous stars! and everypony will love our music. We can sing about stuff we like most,"

Fluttershy beamed. "Really? like baby animals and rainbows?" those were her two favorite things. "Yep!" Ploomette said.

They'd sing all kinds of songs and even planned to become world-renowned singers when they turned into adult ponies. As the two progressed through elementary school together, Fluttershy faced a lot of bullies. She was often picked on for being shy or not that good at flying, but her big sister always stood up to her.

"Leave her alone!" Ploomette would always shout. She was big and scary enough to chase any meanie away.

When Fluttershy got injured on the playground, Ploomette would scoop in and get out her trusty band-aid kit, she always carried it around incase of emergency. She remembered to keep the butterfly bandaids, because those made Fluttershy calm. She was the best big sister any pony could ever ask for, and they rarely ever argued.

But sadly, Fluttershy's beloved sister was taken away by the changes that come with becoming a teenager. As they reached high school, Ploomette became insecure about her appearance and what other ponies thought of her. She started chasing stallions and leaving Fluttershy all alone. Eventually, they stopped flying home together. It devastated the pre-teen.

"U-Uhm, Ploomette?" Fluttershy smiled, revealing her braces. "Is it okay if we fly home together again? we hadn't in a long time, and I don't feel safe flying through all the pegasi traffic alone...if it's okay with you of course."

"Oh, sorry Flutters, I was actually going to fly my new friends home today, maybe tomorrow? you'll be fine on your own." Ploomette dismissed, turning away.

She found a better group of ponies to hang out with, Fluttershy knew. Early on Ploomette befriended two ponies, one was named Diamond Rose. She was an all-white pegasus with a red and pink mane. Her blue eyes were always sparkling, and her cutie mark was a shiny pink crystal. She was popular for being friends with Princess Cadance before her graduation, right before she was transformed into an alicorn.

The second girl, a lavender-colored pegasus with a pink mane almost the same color as Fluttershy's mane was called Sweetsong. She became loved by all the school for her ongoing music career. Fluttershy had always assumed she and her sister got along so well because they both shared a deep love for music.

Their group became more cliche. They all styled their hair the same, like young Fluttershy's but shorter. Stallions would pass by the mares with hearts popping out of their eyes. Falling down the ranks of popularity more and more, Fluttershy became their group's biggest target.

Ploomette, being jealous of how pretty Fluttershy was took it out on her in the school hallways. Knocking her over or insulting her little sister with the help of her friends.

"Hey, Klutzershy! you're late again. Why are you so bad at flying? you're in your teens now!" Diamond rose asked, Sweetsong by her side. "Yeah Ploomette, why is so sister so weak?"

"Because she's anti-social and never wants to help with anything!" Ploomette replied. "She'll never get a real job, just like Rainbine won't."

Another pony who went to the same school was also ridiculed by them to the same extent, maybe even worse. Rainbine. They liked to make fun of her because she had black-colored earpieces she needed to hear properly, and she'd always come to school with a pitch-black duster on. Fluttershy felt bad for her, but never had the courage to talk to her before. She was shy, and worried she'd only make Rainbine's day worse if she brought it up.

"Please just leave me alone, girls. I need to get to class," Fluttershy begged. "I'm not looking for trouble, I just want past," however, the trio blocked the way.

"You think we're just going to let you go unscathed? pegasi like you act like earth ponies, we want strong pegasi, not weak frightened fillies like you!" Sweetsong pushed her down, scattering her books and pencils everywhere.

"Oh my! how could you!" Fluttershy squeaked. Feeling humiliated, she started to cry. "See you after school, Fluttercry." Diamond Rose laughed, taking Ploomette and Sweetsong with her.

"Oh those horrible ponies! now I have to pick all of this up by myself," Fluttershy sniffled as passing ponies stepped on her tail and wings.

"Do you need any help?" someone asked. Fluttershy looked up to see Rarity's brother. "Oh! uhm..no, it's okay, I just tripped and fell."

"No I can help." he said and fluttershy let him because he's a human so he picks everything up so fast. She thought it was weird that Rarity was a pony but her brother wasn't. As far as she knew he was the only human in Equestria.

"Uhm valdroxx why does everyone hate me but not you if your a human." She asked picking up her school-bag and placing the books back into it.

"Because im sexy." he said and FLUTTERSHY BLUSHED REALIZING HE WAS RIGHT. "And because my sister Rarity is popular. Want to be friends? she's looking for someone who can try on her new clothes."

Fluttershy was awestruck, a popular kid, asking to be her friend? oh finally, someone was being kind to her! "Of course! i'd love to try on Rarity's new clothes."

Ploomette was enraged the day she found out her little sister Fluttershy, a nobody in the school managed to win the heart of one of the school's most popular students siblings, Rarity's brother. This made her and Rarity closer to each other. Rarity was on top back then, ponies had caught wind of her latest taste in fashion and even copied her out of admiration. So imagine Fluttershy's surprise when Rarity's brother fell for her. Rumours spread around the school rapidly.

Fluttershy felt the same and the two started dating. They loved each other more than anything, and now that she had a boyfriend the bullies left her alone because having a boyfriend makes you instantly awesome. Now they were focusing all their attention on Rainbine, but oh well, sucks to be her.

They would meet up at the Ponyville Ice Cream Shake Parlor and talk. "I love you valdroxx." Fluttershy said he knows this. "THANKS FLUTTERSHY! wanna kiss me." "Ok" fluttershy said he start making out as Rarity watching approvingly in the back.

"Just one pineapple blast, please," Ploomette said, handing over a five dollar bill to the clerk as she ordered her drink. Unaware Fluttershy was on a date, she trotted over to the booth and caught them in the act.

"NOOO!! FLUTTERSHY IS MAKING OUT WITH VALDROXX" and she sees his buldge. "Bu-But I loved valdroxx! hes the only boy in all of Equestria and only human! so he's special! how could fluttershy steal him from me? doesn't she know I have a crush on him!"

On the way home, Ploomette instantly started badgering her sister. "How is that fair? you're just dating him because his sister is the most popular girl in the school!" the pink pegasus argued.

"That should be me! you don't deserve all that love and attention." Fluttershy didn't want to start a fight with her sister. Had she known her sister would be there, she wouldn't let things get so intimate. Plus, she didn't care about being popular, and until then she didn't even know how popular Rarity was! She wasn't in for her, she liked him for person he was.

"Ploomette please, this is my boyfriend, I can spend as much time with him as I want. You have your own friend group, you don't even need me anymore!" Fluttershy shot back.

Looking back Fluttershy regretted ever saying that, it might've been one of the harshest things she'd thrown at her sister, but that day she didn't care. She was fed up with all the bullying her school lent to her in her freshmen years. She was a senior now and wanted the drama to end.

"Fine then! Whatever!" Ploomette retorted, snatching up her purple glittery backpack and swinging it over her shoulder. "I doubt your relationship will last before the School Prom."

However, Ploomette proved to be very mistaken. Fluttershy and Rarity's brother valdroxx loved each other so much! They even had sex and Ploomette saw this! and he was famous so she was in all his videos making Fluttershy cool like he was. and now Fluttershys older sister was so mad.

"GRRR! I just don't get it, Fluttershy was known as the quietest pony in school, nopony ever talked to her, then suddenly Rarity's brother comes in and falls head over heels for her? it makes no sense!" she complained to her friends. "Well we don't have anybody either, Ploomette. You should be happy for your sister even if she's the biggest punching bag in the school right now." Sweetsong interjected.

"Are you serious? how can I? she's always with him and talking about how nice he is to her, not to mention she gets all the spotlight from Rarity who i've been trying to befriend since day one!" Ploomette ranted.

Sweetsong and Diamond Rose exchanged uncertain looks. "Well, maybe we can do something to get back at Fluttershy, she doesn't deserve all this happiness." Diamond spoke.

"Good idea, we'll trash her prom-date." Sweetsong laughed, rubbing her hooves together. Ploomette loved this idea, and couldn't wait to win the crown as prom-queen rightfully so as Fluttershy cried in the background.

So the school prom begun. Ploomette, still enraged Fluttershy was living out the luxurious teenage dream decides to screw it all up today. Together, with her two friends Diamond Rose and Sweetsong they grab a giant bucket of water from outside and tie it up over the stage. Their plan was to dump the water all over Fluttershy's head before she and her boyfriend danced together.

"Don't worry Ploomette, you'll be elected prom queen anyways, Fluttershy won't even see it coming." Diamond grinned.

"Alright you two, I want you to stay behind the stage while I get that crown," Ploomette smirked with her flowy pink dress.

Even as a teenager, she kept her dream to become a beautiful pony princess, so showing up to prom looking like one was mandatory. All the other high schoolers were in their seats, anticipating the winner. Everybody thought it was going to be one of the popular kids, like Rarity or Ploomette.

"And the prom queen of this year's school prom is...Fluttershy!" the guy announced. Everybody was shocked, Fluttershy included as she slowly trotted up on stage. "I-wow! I was never expecting this! thank you so much, everyone!" Fluttershy smiled.

Her dress was light blue with sparkles on it, Rarity made it just for her the week prior. Of course, Ploomette seethed. Because Rarity designed that dress, everyone loved it more than hers! she should've known.

"Oh well...we'll see about your lovely prom show when you're drenched in water, Fluttercry!" Ploomette growled, both friends behind her as she was about to tug on the worn rope holding up the bucket of crystal-clear liquid. All she had to do was yank it ever so slightly and Fluttershy's prom night would be ruined...for good.

Just then when everypony least expected it, the gym's doors burst open. Ploomette was stopped dead in her tracks with the rope still tightly grasped in her hoof as she caught a glimpse of Rainbine entering, something clasped in both her hooves.

And good grief! She was still wearing that dreadful trench coat. It already looked terrible on any normal school day BUT AT THE PROM!? Rainbine raised them, and all of a sudden everyone started screaming.

"What's going on!?" Sweetsong gasped. It wasn't until Ploomette caught sight of the gun she had aimed at the stage did it click.

"RAINBINE'S SHOOTING UP THE PROM!" Ploomette exclaimed, abandoning the water bucket and splashing it everywhere. For some reason, all hatred for her sister vanished as she ran to grab her. The thought of Fluttershy being blown apart was too much for her mind to bear. "Fluttershy, forget the award, we have to get out of here!" she told her.

"I-I don't know where to go!" Fluttershy cried, tears flowing down her soft yellow cheeks as Rainbine shot some of the jocks wearing the white caps and killed them all. Ploomette hugged her sister close. "We can escape through the fire exit, come on!"

Dragging her sister from behind her, Ploomette raced down the stage. Blood splattered all over the gym as students were shot everywhere she turned. Screams echoed off of the walls as Rainbine cut off some of their heads and dunked them through the basket-ball hoops as Ploomette pushed her sister through the panicking crowd. "Come on, this way, run faster Fluttershy!"

"But I don't understand, why are you helping me now? you hated me before!" Fluttershy called out to her sister. Ploomette stopped and flattened her ears, turning toward her little sister and meeting her turquoise eyes.

"I don't hate you Fluttershy, I was just envious of how much better you were than me! my whole life I thought I was smarter than you were, and I had to teach you everything. I was supposed to be your idol! and when I found myself wishing to be more like you, I didn't know how to feel. But obviously, I don't want you to die either!"

Fluttershy's poofy dress flapped up and down as she frowned. "I never meant to make you feel that way Ploomette, I love you. You're my one and only sister, and I forgive you for everything." Ploomette gave her a small smile, but it was wiped right off her face as Rainbine shot a bullet that nearly hit Ploomette in the head. "WATCH OUT!" Fluttershy cried as they both kneeled down on the floor.

"So, you think you can just bully me the entire time I attend school and expect me not to be in the slightest PISSED OFF ABOUT IT!?" Rainbine demanded, pointing the massive firearm at both sisters. "P-Please Rainbine! don't you remember me? I'm Fluttershy! I was bullied like you were!"

"Fluttershy?" Rainbine echoed, lowering her gun as explosions from the pipebombs sounded off in the background. "Hey wait, yeah, I know who you are. Same Fluttershy who was bullied as hard as I was?" her voice softened a little. It was obvious the shooter felt sympathetic for her.

"Yes!" Fluttershy replied, her eyes wide and watery. "Please don't kill me!"

"Well, I won't kill you, since you've been put through as much hell as I have, but that pink bitch sitting next to you is going to face natural selection for sure." Rainbine snarled, reloading her gun. It went cha-chink as she aimed for the throat. "Prepare to die!"

"NO DONT! That's my sister!" Fluttershy begged, tugging on Rainbine's blood-soaked trench coat. "You can't kill her Rainbine, she's the only family member I have!"

"But she bullied you, and she bullied me a fuck ton!" Rainbine protested. She lowered the weapon slightly but didn't seem fully convinced about whether she should spare the older pegasus's life or not.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong about you and Fluttershy, I promise to never bully any pony ever again!" Ploomette was crying now, and cowering under the threatening shadow of Rainbine.

"Fine. Scram, I got more jocks to blow up!" she ordered. Immediately, the two dashed out the school door as the entire beige and green school exploded. Fluttershy hugged her sister until the police cars showed up. "Oh Ploomette, I'm so glad you're alive!" Fluttershy breathed. Both of their hearts were beating fast from the adrenaline.

"Yeah," Ploomette panted. "Look Fluttershy, I meant what I said to Rainbine. I realized I was wrong about everything. I don't want to be a bully anymore, and my friends were right, I should have been happy that you got a boyfriend. Hey, where is he anyways?"

Fluttershy felt her stomach tighten. She hadn't seen him since they got into the limo. "I-I don't know! valdroxx where are you!?? I hope his sister is ok too."

"Yeah I'm ok," he said because he actually dodged all the bullets! he was a human so the bullets couldn't touch him. But the police thought he caused the shooting because he had thumbs that could pull triggers. "ARREST HIM!" the police said and they throw him into the police car. "FUCK GUYS IT WASN'T ME!" he said but they drive off so fast.

"NOOOO valdroxx" Fluttershy cries and Ploomette frowns. "I can't believe they thought your boyfriend did that! I mean, Rainbine has BINE in her name, you know, you'd think it would be obvious?"

After that horrific night, Fluttershy's parents were desperate to move away. Her father took Ploomette whilst her mother moved her over to a safe place near the Everfree Forest. Both of them never got the chance to graduate, but who would ever want to return to a school building after that fiasco? I wouldn't. The day Ploomette had to pack her things and throw her suitcases into the Cloudsdale chariot broke Fluttershy's heart.

"Goodbye Ploomette.." Fluttershy waved sadly. She didn't want her sister to go, she loved her so much! but it was too late, and it drove off, kicking up cloud dust as it flew past Fluttershy's face. "I hope I will be able to see her again," she whispered. She was disappointed they hadn't gotten time to catch up with each other after the shooting, but she knew deep down Ploomette loved her very much, and somehow, one day, they would be reunited, even if it took years.

And years it did take, many, many years whisked by. Fluttershy was a mother now of three kids. Two furries, one pony. Her boyfriend got out of jail so she was married to him. Rarity was her sister-in-law now, and she owned her own house. She'd say her life turned out pretty well after becoming an adult, but Fluttershy never forgot about her sister either. On her bedroom wall, she hung up a picture of her and Ploomette as fillies their mother had painted, and constantly she'd stare at it. memorizing every strand in Ploomette's green, yellow, pink, and purple mane.

"Oh Ploomette, where are you now?" Fluttershy asked with sadness.
