//-------------------------------------------------------// A Dash of Love -by apple_fritter_dream- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// could it be!? //-------------------------------------------------------// could it be!? Flutter shy was obviously 19 yet tomorrow her big day was on its way,20!Her big 20th birthday.She thought 20 was old but she still felt 14,in Cloudsdale playing with rainbow dash,her best friend.The mare she hasn't talked to in almost 4 years,the thought hurt,the thought of not having a brave,colorful mare in her life,yet she fought it!She knew all her harmony friends were on their ways,but she didn't know if rainbow dash was coming she was probably in a Wonderbolts show or on a date in Cloudsdale just like her to do though.She looked in the mirror at her long pink mane and tail.Her eyes weren't the only thing that was blue she let down to her knees sobbing.Her quiet cries weren't loud enough for anyone to hear.she looked up into the mirror seeing her ugly self.she ran into the bathroom thinking of an old movie of sadness and suicide."NO!"she jolted up from her bed.she sighed "why would i think of doing that?"she shook her head."Would i ever!"her voice  older and assertive "i-I'm 20!!!!"she squealed she danced around in her loneliness wishing all her old friends were going to be at her lame party "Angel!"she raced to his bed a grown stubborn bunny lay sleeping "Angel wakey wakey i'm a year older I'm 20!...a step closer to dieing..."she whispered the last part to herself. she picked the grey creature up and stood him outside "go play!"he sighed and walked to his girlfriend"well were all getting older aren't we...."she sighed also and flew outside too.She flew around Ponyville to see an older Twilight sparkle reading fan fics.Flutter yayed and jumped down to greet her."hello dear twilight!!!"she stuck out her hoof to shake Twi's."eh."twilight's face had bags under her face and she looked dead inside."um..."flutter was confused.her intelligent 'leader' was in fact tired and worn."h-hello Fluttershy,happy birthday"she set down her books and stood eye level with the winged mare."You're 20,right?"she put on her glasses."well...am i invited to your party?"she giggled as flutter shuffled around giggling too"I'm sure pinkie is going to make the party?!"flutter joked as twilight was not amused."you haven't heard?"Twilight became expressionless. //-------------------------------------------------------// here it is. //-------------------------------------------------------// here it is. "N-no..no i haven't heard...what happened!?"Fluttershy became more antsy each minute."Maybe it's best if you just..don't know..about her."Twilight turned her head to face the floor "No i want to know!!!considerate it my birthday present!"Flutter blurted out "Fine.Pinkie.She.. errm.."Twi's eyes became dim and low "She went completely insane...S-she killed thousands of ponies.You know..cupcakes..?" "Y-yes yes ive read part of it before,before i got to most of the gore."Is that story true!?DID SHE DO THAT!?" Flutter yelled at the dark Twi.Twilight nodded in despair. "but she said...if she finds you on your 20th birthday she might stop and become just like old times,she..i mean..we all missed you Fluttershy..Mostly..Rainbow dash."Twilight looked at Fluttershy and smiled."Did you think we would stop loving you if you left?"Twilight was correct,in a way."R-rainbow dash?H-how is she?I-is she still here?I-is she alive?"Flutter had so many questions about her old friend.Twilight giggled at Flutter's stutter about Dash."Shes OK,most people havn't seen her in a long time,shes probably off in a Wonderbolts show or in a date in Cloudsdale"Twilight joked as Flutter laughed and laughed and laughed "i said the same!!!"Flutter finally was able to say.They both laughed.Then it stopped.Twilight screamed and Flutter was confused."What is it Twi?"Flutter asked.She pulled Flutter to her side and stared into the distance.An earth pony was making the crowd of ponies in Ponyville to shout and run like scared mice into their homes.The gasp of a Twilight and a shuffled Fluttershy stood outside the home of Twilight.A pink pony was coming out for them two."Don't run away"a dark yet high voice shouted towards them.Twilight knew exactly who it was but Fluttershy had trouble."Happy birthday Fluttershy,i'm here for you."Then she knew.Pinkie Pie.She laughed hysterically."I'm Pikamena"She reached them and smiled.Flutter knew it was Pinkie yet her mane was...different..even her tail!"20?Right,i know"She was creepy,she was cupcakes!!!"DID YOU KILL RAINBOW DASH?"she screamed "HAHAHA no!She's your best friend,it would hurt you,and you would hate me"They shuddered."Because?...I'll tell you why dear Fluttershy"Pinkamena slithered
