I hate horses. But I love Fluttershy!

Fluttershy yawned, stretching she cracked her back and legs. Looking around, she saw nothing but darkness, she stood up and squinted in the darkness. She smiled as she saw Francis with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

She looked down at the ceiling they were standing on an pulled a board out with her wings, carefully she peeked through and was relieved to see no infected below.

"About time you woke up kid."

She jumped and landed on Francis, startled, he jumped up yelling and swinging. He hit Louis who bumped Zoey and then she hit both of them in the belly.

"Talk about a hell of a wake up call." The old man laughed. "Sorry kid, didn't mean to startle you."

Francis grabbed Fluttershy by the sides and peeled her off his face. She shook like crazy, a crack was heard and their eyes went wide before they fell through the ceiling.

"Francis! Fluttershy! You alright!?"Louis asked peering down.

"Ohhh... Dammit..." Francis groaned as he lay half on the counter. "The... fuck..."

Fluttershy had rolled off him and was cushioned by a bag of licorice. With a gasp she quickly flew to his side.

"Francis! Are you alright? Your not hurt too-"

With a grunt he peeled himself off the counter, wiping some plaster off, he only nodded.

The others jumped down, looking worried as well. That was until Zoey noticed Fluttershy wearing Francis's vest.

"Hey Francis, how'd your vest get on Fluttershy?" She asked pointing a finger at the two.

He quickly looked himself over and saw a plain white shirt. Fluttershy handed him his vest and looked around as they talked.

"It's not what you think." He said raising his hands in defense. "I'm not into bestiality."

"Does the mean biker have a soft spot?" She teased. "Wait... What was that last part? I never said you did..."

"Never thought I'd see the day, Francis being nice. And to a girl!" Bill laughed.

"Mare actually." Louis corrected getting a thank you from Fluttershy.

Francis picked up his shotgun and blasted the wall behind them, mere inches from their heads. They ducked and looked at the biker in shock.

He cocked his shotgun again before stepping outside.

"I-Is he going to be alright?" Fluttershy asked.

"He just needs to blow off some steam," Zoey said. "We've never seen him be nice before."

"Maybe your rubbing off on him." Louis said.

Fluttershy looked at the biker and saw him standing at the door, a bored look on his face.

"Are you sissy's done chatting? We've got zombies to kill and evac points to get to."

"And he's back to his normal self." Zoey smirked.

They exited the candy store and back into the open street.

Fluttershy trotted next to Francis as the others went slightly ahead. Once the noise had went down she nuzzled his leg, he looked down and she mouthed a thank you. He smiled and nodded.

The streets were quiet, except from the occasional zombie getting blasted away.

The streets were littered in papers, an occasional corpse, or just a stray dog. The buildings towered over them, Fluttershy thought of Canterlot, but it was never so grey and intimidating to her.

A thunder-crack rocked the air, Francis jumped and shot out. A piece of concrete was uplifted from the road. The others looked back at him and saw Fluttershy clinging to his leg.

"Uh, Flutters?" He said uneasily. "Your cutting off my circulation."

She didn't listen but instead hugged less hard when another thunder-crack echoed. He gave a grunt before sliding her up to his back. She hugged him around the neck again, shivering as the rain started to fall.

He looked up and grimaced.

"I hate the rain."He said. "Hey shy, your not gonna be able to fly in this, are ya?" He asked. "Wouldn't your wings get all soggy?"

"Um... Pegasai wing's are meant for the tough weather, but I never passed flight school because of the height's. I-I don't think my wings are used to the rain." She replied looking dejectedly down to the ground.

He face-palmed. "Alright, you three turn around and keep looking forward." He said to the other survivors. When they didn't move, he cocked his shotgun again. "Good." He sighed. "I'm doing this way to often..."

He took her off and turned his vest around, he picked her back up and set her in the front. She looked at him with a sight blush, she eeped and hid behind her mane when the other three humans looked back.

"One. Damn. Word." Francis growled. "One. Word. And three shots."

Zoey put a hand to her mouth to keep herself from laughing, Louis and Bill were snickering. He rolled his eyes and gave a grunt. Fluttershy gave a squeak as he made it.

"Laugh it up, because this'll probably be the last time I do this." He said as he walked ahead again.

They remained silent as they walked, Fluttershy covered her eyes as the storm brewed ahead. The wind shrieked through the streets and alleyways, the roar of the infected was heard under the thunder as they began an attack on anything, and everything.

The survivors watched as the lightning outlined the infected, some of them tearing each other apart in the frenzy.

"Just ignore them, there focused on the storm!" Bill yelled over the wind as he kept his beret from flying away. "We can sneak around them, if we stick to the alleys!"

They got behind a car and it provided some cover from the wind. They all took a moment to breath, all of them shaking from the cold.

"I-I hate H-Hypothermia..." Francis said as his teeth chattered. "How are you, s-shy?"

She didn't respond but instead kept shaking, he put a hand to his jaw and he started to move along the ground. He looked at her in bemusement and shock as he began to do a three-sixty on the ground.

"Jeez, she shaking so bad, she could probably take apples off a tree." Louis said.

"I-I have before..." Fluttershy said. "It was when the Flim Flam brothers tried to take the apple families farm... I shook the apples out of the trees..."

They all just stared at her, Zoey coughed awkwardly while Bill whistled. Francis raised an eyebrow, interested in something.

"You worked on a farm too?" He asked.

She looked up and sneezed cutely as her nose brushed against the stubble on his chin. He snickered a little before raising his head up a bit further.

"It was only that one time..." She said. "I was so nervous, all those ponies, the entire town was counting on me and my friends to help save the orchard... It was worse than being a supermodel..."

"You were a supermodel too?" Francis asked. "What?" He asked towards the other survivors who were staring at him oddly. "What? You've never seen a guy in a speedo before?" He grinned as Zoey turned a shade green.

Even Fluttershy grimaced, imagining the biker wearing... That.

A grunt was heard and Bill put a bullet to a zombies head as it shambled past their cover. The sound of more infected yelling in anger towards the noise was heard, the old mans face turned into a grimace as he got up.

"Come on! We've got another horde!" Bill yelled as his eyes widened. "Shit! We've got special infected too!"

The other survivors got up and looked past the car as they ran into the alleyway.

Fluttershy saw a pair of sunken eyes behind a hood before a shriek went through the air.

She watched in horror as the 'special' infected, jumped half the way to where they were and finished the gap with a second jump. It skidded across the pavement when Zoey put a round of bullets into it. Francis stepped over it and let off a few shots, slowing, but barely, slowing the horde as it ran towards them.

As they ran, Louis got the idea to push over some trashcans, Francis tripped on one and fell on his shoulder. With a grunt, he got back up a furious expression plastered on his face.

"Louis!" Francis yelled over the horde and storm. "Come back here so I can strangle you!"

Louis passed a glance back and saw the biker begin to foam in the mouth, his eyes widened and he pulled out the pill bottle. He uncorked the cap and took a few of the white pills.

Louis stopped before sprinting ahead of the group, a crazed smile on his face as he navigated dead-ends in seconds before turning around and going another way. The other survivors, minus Francis, looked at him as they ran. Francis was still ticked off, shown clearly by the veins sticking up in is neck and the foam coming out of his mouth.

"Hey! Over here!" Louis yelled as he shot a door in. "I found a shortcut to the bank!" He jumped through in a somersault before sprinting ahead, the blast of a shot gun echoing out from the building.

The other survivors quickly ran in and looked around, noticing the corpses with multiple limbs missing, they followed the destruction that was Louis on acid that some idiot had put into a painkiller bottle. What an idiot... Whoever it was.

They arrived in an office and looked around, there was a large wooden desk propped by the door that Louis was trying to push. He grinned at Bill and Zoey, but frowned when he heard Francis further down the hall.

"Louis!" Francis yelled as he barreled into the room, the horde was close. "You son of a bitch!"

Fluttershy had passed out and was only know waking up. She looked between the two before climbing out of the bikers vest.

"Francis! Come on, help me move this desk so we don't get torn to pieces!" Louis yelled.

Francis glanced at the desk before gripping the edge, he gave a grunt before it came off the floor and blocked the doorway. He pulled another desk over and set it in front of it, the sound of the horde behind it made him stop for a second.

"That was close. Too close." Louis chuckled.

"You son of a bitch! You tripped me!" Francis yelled as he ran at the man. "Come back here!"

"I don't want to die!" Louis yelled. "Bill, Zoey! Help!"

Fluttershy stared at them for a second, closing her eyes and sobbing as Francis pinned Louis to the wall by the collar of his shirt.

Francis arched back a fist, as he was about to break Louis's nose, he looked over at Fluttershy staring at them pitifully. He gave a yell before punching the wall next to Louis's head, he pulled his fist out from the hole and brought Louis close to his face.

"Try shit like that again, and I wont hit the wall next time." He warned as he shoved Louis off.

Francis approached Fluttershy, he put a hand on her shoulder and she pulled away. He sighed before wrapping her in a hug, she quietly cried into his vest.

"I'm sorry Flutter's... I promise I wont do that again." He said rubbing her back in consolation. "It's alright now," he said tipping her chin up. "Shush now, don't cry." He wiped some tears away, she gave a small smile and hugged him around the neck. "Do you feel better?" He asked as he slowly began to scratch her back.

"Y-Yes..." She sniffed. "Y-You just looked so... So scary..." She whimpered.

"I am pretty ugly aren't I?" He laughed.

"Did he just take a shot at his own ego?" Zoey said. "Fluttershy, you might be doing something to Francis... And I like it." She grinned cheekily.

Fluttershy giggled a little before giving a yawn.

"F-Francis..." She said. "C-Could you scratch a little harder... If that's alright with-"

Her eyes widened as a *pomf* went throughout the room, she blushed a deep crimson as Francis and the others looked at her in confusion.

"Uh, Flutters..." Francis said setting her down. "Did you just get a boner?"

She gave a small squeak, feeling multiple pairs of eyes on her, she silently made her way under a desk and curled up in a balls of yellow and pink.

"Well, this just got twenty percent more awkward." Bill huffed as the humans turned away.
