Dexter in Equestria

Murders don't happen often in Ponyville... even in entire Equestria. Lyra's death was the most horrible thing that ever happened in Ponyville. Yes, Discord's chaos is nothing compared to this. Yeah, let's make some chaos all around or make never ending night but never ever take a pony's life. That's just too much. Ponies are not used to these things.

Equestria is a peaceful world of harmony and friendship and now everything seems to be slowly fading away or it at least will. Celestia and her night sister were truly worried about what is going to happen in following days.

And directly for Ponyville, everything is going to be really very bad. After every citizen has been informed of the terrifying and disgusting event, locked oneself at home and didn't even venture to go outside because... what if the murderer attacked again? No risking.

Oh my. But now we're going to go back to that night and see the events that happened then, insight into the souls of some poor broken ponies. There are still lots of unanswered questions and some... dark secrets...

So okay... here we go.

Fluttershy was in her cottage now. She fed her pets and put them to sleep. Except Angel, he didn't want to sleep yet and he demanded to stay up. Fluttershy allowed him because, as you know, she always was helpless with arquing with him. And tonight even more. Something was heavily bothering her, but as I see... it's not about Dexter. She more likely regretting something.

Yes, undoubtedly.

Fluttershy needed to confess to somepony and the only being she could talk to now was her little white friend.

"I've done a terrible thing, my little Angel," Fluttershy spoke, "no, not directly I but..." she sadly expired without another word.

Angel cocked his head and looked at her, puzzled.

Tears appeared in her eyes. "I never wanted it to end up this way... I... I didn't expect it even could end up this away... It wasn't supposed to... " her voice was trembling in sadness and also fear, "Why would she do that...?" Then she began to cry.

Angel was having still the same confused face expression. Animals can't understand ponies well but he knew that she was broken. Fluttershy was for him like his own mother. And he didn't like to see his mommy crying.

He came to her. She was still having her hooves on her face as she wept. He gently caressed her foreleg. Then she looked at him with her shiny glossy eyes.

"I love you, little one." she whispered to the white bunny and softly smiled. I wish I could tell this to Dexter that easily...

And the last tear fell down her cheek.

Twilight Sparkle and Spike were still sleeping so Dexter was alone now. He thought while staring at a wall of the library.

Jamie and others will take care of my son, no doubt, that's not bothering me now. Even the yesterday's murder is not. But that Fluttershy is.

He sat on the couch, which also was his bed, and continued in watching the wall pointlessly.

There's something wrong with her. No, not wrong but... weird.

Harry suddenly appeared. "Are you blind, Dexter?"

Dexter looked at him. "What do you mean by that?"

"That pegasus just loves you. Can't you see that?"

Dexter frowned. "No."

That made Harry chuckle. "Really? So you forgot what she did about two hours ago my son, or what?"

Dexter facepalmed. "That was just one... accident. It often happens in stress situations, you know? Nothing more, you're simply wrong." Dexter said.

"Oh, of course." his father replied sarcastically.

"No, really! Are you hearing yourself? How could a PONY love me?" he forced himself to fake laugh. "Well, good joke, though!"

Harry was slowly shaking his head with a soft smirk. "You just don't want to admit to yourself." Then he disappeared.

Those words really hit Dexter. Fuck everything! I wanna go back home!

Morning is coming.

A room was in dark, the curtains were drawm. Bon-Bon was looking at her poor face in a mirror. Hers refelction's swollen teary eyes met hers own, then they focused on her plum and pink mane. It was horribly messed up. She immediately looked away.

At a photo of her friend Lyra.

"Lyra," she sadly muttered for herself, "I miss you so much," more and more tears covered her vision, "I wanted to told you this so long ago... I... I love you...", she was crying, "Why you? Why did they stole you from me?", then she began to glare, "They are gonna suffer! They are gonna suffer for what they did to you! I want revenge!" she shouted.

After she calmed, she softly touched the photo of her friend. "My love."

Luna was looking at her sister.

Celestia was too and waiting for her sister to speak up.

"So..." Luna broke the silence, "You are telling me that the human can be dangerous but you defend him so much only because of some... prophecy!?"

Celestia sighed with closed eyes. "You got to understand, Luna, it's so clear!"

Her sister didn't respond.

"I have never paid so much attention to it." Celestia continued, "Until now."

Her sister was slowly shaking her head in disagreement but still didn't say anything.

"It says:

And one day, a being from stars will appear,

Dark but not evil, not mean, will fight spreading fear.

In times when suffers everypony,

Darkness will face Darkness and restore the Harmony.

...It's just something like that..."

"You really believe these ten thousand years old fairy tales?"

"This is not a fairy tale, Luna!"

"Okay!" Luna yelled, "But why didn't you tell me before? The day we met him?"

"I wasn't still completely sure, but I needed to be." Celestia staded quietly, "I didn't see much of his memories but I saw something very... some... two children in blood, holding each other's hoo-... hands..." she closed her eyes for a while. "I let him stay in Ponyville. And after one of my little ponies died... I was already sure."

"Hey! So the spell -"

"Worked..."

Luna paused, then said: "If these fairy tales are right, and I believe they are not, then... bad things are going to happen again?"

Celestia nodded worriedly.

"And he has to help us stop it all somehow?"

Her sister nodded again.

"How?"

"I... don't know... but we already know that Lyra didn't die at the venue but somepony's brought her there... and... tortured her..." Celestia answered with teary eyes.

Luna squinted.

"I'll just visit him tomorrow and... Maybe we'll find out something useful..."
