Pranks and Giggles
Rain poured down heavily on the sleepy town of Ponyville. Everypony was locked up tight in their homes. Regardless of the pouring rain, the sunshine yellow Pegasus led a small family of ducks back to her loft to seek refuge from the oncoming storm.
"Come on, little duckies, just this way. Not too much further..."
With her head down low, baby pink mane getting tangled and matted with mud, rain rolling down her forehead and blinding her, she bravely led the little flock through the grey dismal morning.
"Hey Fluttershy!" Came a voice.
"Ye-"
The little yellow winged pony raised her head to answer the voice, when mud rained down on her, coating her face and momentarily choking her. After wiping the wet earth from her eyes and coughing up what she could, she turned and looked at what tricked her- none other than Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, both of which were doubled over laughing at their prank.
Anger swelled up in the chest of the sensitive Pegasus, but Fluttershy took a deep breath and quieted her emotions. It was just a harmless prank.
Rainbow Dash recovered from her fit of giggles, congratulated Pinkie for help in the prank, and took to her duty of clearing up the skies of Ponyville. Bright sunshine hurriedly feasted upon the ground, quickly drying up all the rain. With the rainy morning over, Ponyville was once again lively by mid-afternoon. Apple Jack, accompanied by Apple Bloom and Big Mac, sold their Sweet Apple Acres produce, Twilight Sparkle was off doing her studies. Rarity was busy fitting ponies in only the most latest fashions. Pinkie Pie was serving up sweets, and Rainbow Dash was most likely racing something. Only Fluttershy wasn't seen. Fluttershy was back at her tree loft attempting to get Angel Bunny to eat. Angel was giving the overly sweet pony a what-for because she didn't have the ingredients to make over-the-top lunchtime meal.
"I'm sorry Angel, but I just don't have the time to gather everything to make this. Please just take what I already made..." She pleaded, pushing the plate of lettuce toward the little white rabbit.
After shoving it back for the umptenth time, Angel finally just hauled off and whacked her one. Right across the muzzle. Tears welled up in her aqua eyes. The anger returned, outfighting the shock and pain.
"You...You....You jerk! I took you in, I cared, fed, dealt with the way you treat me day after day....I go out of my way to make you what you want, and the one time I can't bend over backwards, you...You SLAP me?!"
Fluttershy advanced towards the small animal she once called her companion. Angel, formally so bold as to slap her, now reduced to a shivering pile of fur. He put his shaking paws out infront of him in a feeble attempt to plead with her. Anger continued to pulse through her small yellow body. Fluttershy ignored the begging rabbit, turned around, and slammed her back hooves against Angel's face. The bunny went soaring backwards, a spray of blood flying like a jet-stream. It patterned the walls, floors, ceiling, even Fluttershy, Her coat was be speckled with small red dots. The mare, now shaking with relief, walked herself over to where her beloved pet laid in a spreading puddle of blood. She felt no remorse, no pain. She, honestly, felt nothing.
Angel Bunny had a carved in dent right in the middle of his face where the hoof had made contact. His jaw hung slack in a sick smile, a short pink tongue slipped out between broken bloody teeth. Fluttershy moved closer to inspect the damage she had inflicted. The eyeballs had exploded, leaving a jelly like substance in their wake.
The little yellow pony still felt nothing for what she had done. No emotion filled her small winged body. An eerie calm, one she never experienced before, was the only thing that floated in her mind, her heart, her veins.
In another room, she heard a door open and shut. A voice carried out four short words, "YO Fluttershy. You home?"
Her calm was short lived. Anger flooded back in, shortening out her nerves. She looked back at the remains of her pet: Brians seeping out, blood staining her home and fur, left leg still kicking. She pictured Dash laying there. Pinkie.
The pupils of her eyes became pinpoints. Her lips pulled back, revealing foamy teeth.
"Yo Flutter? Where are ya?" Dash's voice was a lot closer now.
"Flutterrrshyyyy!" Pinkie Pie was also here.
A couple moments later, they found her.
"There you are!" Pinkie shouted, bouncing up to her.
She slipped on a pile of what was Angel, sending blood and gore all over her sides and shoulders, Pinkie started laughing.
"Is this jam? Were you baking?" her laughter continued.
"Uh...Fluttershy?" Rainbow side stepped all the "jam" and followed up beside Flutter, "Oh my Celestia....What ha-"
Before she could finish, Fluttershy's hooves went flying into the side of Rainbow's head, knocking the blue Pegasus sideways. Blood trickled out of a cut. Pinkie Pie stopped laughing and stared wide eyed at Fluttershy.
"F-Flutter...Are you-"
"Shut up!" She roared, aiming another kick at the pink earth pony.
Pinkie moved to the left, catching the buck in the shoulder.Bone met hoof, slicing her thin flesh like a razor. A skinny line of blood bubbled up along her pink coat.
Rainbow Dash laid across the room next to Angel's long dead carcass, knocked out cold. Blood was continuously pouring from the gash on her head.
Fluttershy now had Pinkie Pie cornered. The curly maned pony was laying on the ground, legs curled under her, her body shivering fiercely. Pie risked a look between her hooves. Fluttershy stood over top, pupils as small as a grain of sand. The foam in her mouth now seeped out.
"F-Flutter-"
The snapped pony bucked her hoof out once more, catching Pinkie in the jaw. The pink party pony screamed out in sheer agony. Bloody teeth spat out of her mouth with every gargled scream.
"I said, shut up!" Fluttershy snarled, hitching her back legs up and striking again.
This time, Flutter kicked Pinkie enough to snap her jaw completely. The broken mandible slagged to her chest. Her wails increased in volume, blood poured more freely. Her hooves shot up to try and soother her aching mouth.
"Why won't you shut up!" the winged pony shouted.
Instead of striking with her back feet, her front legs shot out, knocking Pinkie over. She dug her small snout into Pinkie's soft flesh and tore the jugular from her neck.
Blood sprouted from her throat in crimson arches, spraying Fluttershy in what once gave Pinkie her annoyingly happy life. Her body convulsed once. Twice. Then stopped moving forever.
Fluttershy now turned her attention back to Dash, who was slowly coming to. She raised her head, blinking groggily. The entire side of her face was a light purple with blood.
"You're awake." Fluttershy grinned.
"What's going on?" the cyan Pegasus moaned.
Her magenta eyes searched around the room, spotting Pinkie's torn throat and Angel's mangled body. Understanding suddenly filled her mind. She looked wide at Flutter's bloodied face.
"D-did you d-do that?"
Fluttershy's bloody grin widened, "Oh, I'm fairly certain I did."
"Why Fluttershy...?" the throbbing pain on the side of Rainbow's face began to grow. With every heart beat arose a new pain.
"It's just a prank, Rainbow. Nopony got hurt." Fluttershy's left eye was twitching.
Rainbow looked at her incredulously. Fluttershy walked around the floored pony, looking her over. She stopped at her right side, grabbed her wing with her mouth, and jerked hard on it, separating the bones. Rainbow, to weak with blood loss to do anything else, yelled out in pain. Fluttershy, still with wing in mouth, pushed her hooves down against Dash's back, between her shoulders and wings.
As her screams became louder, the flesh keeping her wing on her body, began to tear. A wet rrrip! overpowered her yells of agony. Dash looked at Fluttershy in fright and unimaginable pain. The red speckled pony had a jagged blue wing in her mouth. She laid it down in front of her.
"Not so tough without your wings, Dashie."
Flutter went tot he left side. Rainbow did nothing but whimper as she felt bones, sinew, and flesh tear as her other wing was ripped from her body.
"Isn't this fun, Rainbow? Just a prank. Ha ha ha!"
Dash could barely even look at her. Pain rolled through her body in huge waves. She found it increasingly harder to keep her eyes open. Each shut of her eyes brought her closer to a deep, black abyss where the pain became bearable.
She was feeling cold and sticky now. Her blue fur was matted and purple with blood. Fluttershy's insane laughter echoed. Dash didn't even care to pay attention anymore.
Drip
Something wet fell between her ears.
Drip
It was warm...
Drip
Dash looked up. Fluttershy stood over top. Bucket in hoof.
"Hey Rainbow!" Her foamed mouth was still grinning.
Rainbow flattened her ears. She's gonna drown me...
She tipped the bucket, Pinkie Pie's gore rained down upon the wingless victim, filling her eyes, mouth, and nose. She choked upon the blood and bits of entrails.
Unable to get air, she bolted straight up, hooves flailing at her throat, and over onto her back. Piss ran out between her nithers as she struggled to breathe.
Growing bored, Fluttershy raised a hoof and brought it down on Rainbow Dash's neck, breaking the spine. Blood and vomit bubbled up and out of her mouth. Her body went still.
Fluttershy still wasn't amused.

"Hey Twilight!" Apple Jack called, entering the library where the purple unicorn lived.
Twilight Sparkle came trotting down the stairs, "Oh, Hello Apple Jack. Can I help you?"
"Yeah, yah might be able to. Have yah seen Rainbow? She was s'pose to help me paint my barn, but Ah can't find her anywhere."
Twilight paused to think for a moment.
"Have you stopped by Rarity's?"
Apple Jack rolled her eyes.
"That fancy pant pony is too wrapped up in her designs. Been stuck up in that fruit cake b'tique all day."
The purple unicorn suppressed a laugh.
"Well that leaves Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy."
"Ah thought of stopping over at Sugar Cube Corner, but it's closed."
"Then let's go over to Fluttershy's." Twilight suggested, putting a few books away.
~ ~ ~
Fluttershy's loft was unusually quiet. Normally, there were all sorts of animal noises. Everything was eerily silent. An odd chill ran through each pony.
Twilight approached the door and knocked. After a couple minutes of no answer, they invited themselves in.
"Fluttershy?"
"Are ya home, sugar cube?"
A laughter was heard from one of the upper rooms.
"I wonder what's so funny?" Twilight Sparkle remarked, raising an ear.
"Ah don't know, but Ah ain't sure Ah wanna find out..." AJ said apprehensively.
They mounted the stairs, laughter intensifying. Apple and Twilight found the room where the quaint sound seemed to be rising from.
The unicorn and earth pony pushed open the door and gasped at the sight before them.
Bits of what they assumed were Dash and Pie (Blue wings, curly pink hair. Not hard to guess who.) were scattered around the room like confetti. The coppery redolence of blood was thick in the air. The wallpapering was sprinkled in red and dried organs were stuck in the flooring.
Angel bunny still sat, defaced, along the far wall. Pinkie Pie, now gutted and throat torn out, was on the other wall. Rainbow's wingless, and now skinless, body was suspended from the ceiling by some sort of pulley system.
Twilight was frozen to the ground by what she saw.
"What the hay happened here?!" Apple Jack exclaimed, recoiling.
"It's just a harmless prank. Nopony got hurt." Fluttershy explained in her soft, sweet voice. She came out from behind the flesh less pony, wearing the skin around her neck like a cape. "Do you like it? she pulled part of it out to display, "Rarity's always going on about how easy dress making is, so I thought I'd give it try. Although, I don't think blue is the right colour for me.I think orange might look better."
"Oh, sweet Celestia, the girl lost her mind!"
Before AJ could get close to the door, Flutter pulled on a pulley cord, causing it to slam shut.
"Fluttershy, please don't hurt us. We never did anything to you!" Twilight tried pleading.
"Oh don't worry, my dearest friend. You won't feel a thing!"

"These fabrics are simply marvelous! " Rarity gushed over the items Fluttershy brought her the next morning, "They're so soft, so wonderful! These are totally to DIE for!"
Fluttershy smiled, "Aren't they?"
"I must know where you found them!"
"You would, wouldn't you?"
Fluttershy closed the boutique shutters, a grin graced her small snout, "Why don't I just show you?"
Her laughter was the only thing heard.
