Life and love are silly sometimes

Chapter 7 And like that, He's gone

When Fluttershy woke up, Soarin had already gotten up, and was eating breakfast. She could hear him humming a song she didn't recognize. Fluttershy utterly ignored it and got up. She trotted downstairs and still heard him humming, but he was packing! Fluttershy flew off the stairs and tackled him from behind! She pinned him on his stomach and started to cry a little,
"W-w-why do you have to go now?? W-why can't you just stay? P-please!! I insist!"

Soarin was very startled and was breathing hard. He looked up at Fluttershy and sighed,
"I told you why I have to leave. Spitfires going to come and take me away. I've been in one place for far too long. I need to go now Fluttershy... Believe me."

Fluttershy at the ground and closed her eyes. She understood why Soarin had to go, but she didn't to believe it. She ran over and hugged Soarin. He hugged back and softly stroked Fluttershy's mane. Soarin kissed her on the top of her head, and started walking towards the door. She trotted slowly behind him and stood at her doorstep. She looked up at him, Flying away. With tears in her eyes she whispered,
"I-I-I love you..."

Soarin swooped down fast and dropped a rose at her hooves. Fluttershy picked it up and looked at the sky, wondering if he'd ever come back.
