Wrong Place...Wrong Time

It was close to 10:00 pm by the time Fluttershy was headed home. She had nearly spent 5 whole hours at another of Pinkie's parties. This one was definitely much better than the other ones Pinkie had thrown. Fluttershy had always enjoyed a party once in a while. Pinkie's parties she definitely enjoyed.

Once the party was over, her and the others waved Pinkie goodbye and headed back to their homes, including Fluttershy. By now, the town of Ponyville was quiet and sleeping. As day became night during the party, Twilight Sparkle had placed a soundproof spell around the bakery, as not to ruin the peace and quiet of the night.

Ponyville was always quiet and empty at night, and Fluttershy never really cared much. She always loved to take lonely, calm walks, day or night. It helped her calm a little sometimes, especially from some of the troubles at home. It's become a little bit difficult to keep the animals calm sometimes. Angel, who had promised to eat his greens, stopped after a while, and has become a little...chubby.

Fluttershy checked her watch. It was 10:05 pm.

"I hope they aren't worried about me," she said a little worried.

Luckily, she remembered to feed them before she left for the party. That way, they weren't starving when she arrived. As Fluttershy walked, she was being careful not do squish the cupcakes inside the satchel around her back. During her walk, she slowly began to notice her belly jiggling and swishing slightly.

No, it's not from pregnancy. She just ate too much at the party, causing her yellow belly to bulge a little, making it look like she was pregnant.

That brings up another topic. In the past 3 weeks, criminal activity had skyrocketed across Equestria, ranging from Manehattan, to Vanhoover, to Las Pegasus, to Saddle Arabia, and even Germaney. Most of the criminal records from suspects were mostly rape, torture, and even homicide.

Fluttershy may look pregnant now, but one false move in the night, and that joke will turn into reality.

However, criminal activity is very unlikely to happen here in Ponyville. There have never been reports of any kind of activity in the town. Hell, towns are never really affected. The only affected areas were the cities. To be honest, they were going to shit lately. In Las Pegasus recently, a riot had broken out for an unknown reason. Hours later, some of the city was in ruins, but civilians were eventually under control. They never found the ones who started it.

Being said before, a crime is quite unlikely to happen here in Ponyville, right?

*rustle*

Suddenly, Fluttershy stopped moving. She looked behind her, trying to see if somepony - or something - was following her. She looked and saw nothing behind her. She was still alone. After a moment, she continued to walk again on the same path back home. The sound of crickets chirping and timberwolves howling from the nearby Everfree Forest had filled her ears. Fluttershy had never gotten used to the howling, and as always, it frightened her.

Luckily, she wasn't in any real danger from the timbers. They rarely leave the forest at night. There were only two times where they had left: When Granny Smith was just as young as Fluttershy was, and when Spike clung to helping Applejack. Since then, they hadn't really left the forest.

*rustle*

Fluttershy looked behind her once again. Nothing. Nopony was following her, nor anything. Perhaps Pinkie placed something in those cupcakes, and maybe she was just hearing things. She couldn't tell. She seems fine. Maybe she's just hearing things.

She turns around and begins to walk, but bumps into something, causing her to fall back a bit. She closes her eyes and rubs her head a bit.

"Ouch..." she said quietly. She hadn't quite expected that, and being the gentle, fragile mare she is, it did hurt to her.

Suddenly, a chuckle is heard in front of her. She opens her eyes and is near startled. A stallion was standing in front of her, grinning with a bit of an evil look to his face. The stallion was a dark red, with a black mane and tail, and had yellow eyes. She looked a bit to the right to see what his cutie mark was. There was nothing there. This pony was a blank flank.

"O-Oh, u-uh...excuse me..." Fluttershy said timidly.

The stallion chuckled again. "Well, now. Ain't you a pretty little face..."

"U-Uh...th-thank you...?" Fluttershy wasn't sure how to respond much. She didn't know who this stallion was.

Just after she thanked him, two other stallions came out from the darkness of the night. One was a unicorn, the other a pegasus. The one Fluttershy was talking to was an earth pony. The three were all separate races, and all blank flanks.

"Well, now, what's a mare like you doin' out here all by yerself in the middle of the night?" The pegasus asked the timid mare with an accent similar to Applejack's.

"O-Oh, um...I was j-just h-h-headed b-back to m-m-m-my-" Suddenly, she was cut off when the pegasus spoke back to her.

"M-m-m-m-m-m-my what? Damn, girl, stop stutterin'."

"S-S-Sorry. I can't help it." She really couldn't help it. The situation she was in was starting to frighten her, it was making her stutter.

"W-What do you want?" She asked, wondering what they were here for. She then wondered if they wanted what she had. She then grabbed the bag with the cupcakes and set them in front of the three stallions.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't have anything e-else. You can take it. I mean...if that's okay with you..."

The three then looked down to the bag. Then they looked up at her.

Suddenly, the three burst into laughter, but not too loud as to not awaken the nearby town. Fluttershy just stood there, unsure how to react to their reactions. It took a few moments before their laughter ceased.

"Look, hon, we ain't here fer the cupcakes," the pegasus responded.

"Th-Then w-what are you h-here for?"

The stallions looked at each other, then back to her.

"Oh...so many things...but...I think I've found the only one," the earth pony responded. He then began to examine her. He looked around her head, neck, body, legs, and even around the tail.

"Mmm Mmm Mmm! I haven't seen a mare this...exquisite since back at Detrot. Shame I had to kill that one, though. She was so much fun."

Fluttershy's eyes widened. She gulped. He...He killed somepony?

"O-Okay, I must be going now. Goodbye," Fluttershy quickly said before heading in the other direction. That was until the other two stalions stopped her.

"W'ere ya goin', miss? Leavin' so soon?" The southern pony asked her. By now, Fluttershy was shaking, athough the stallions didn't see her do so.

"Y-Yes. I-I-I have to get home now. M-My animal f-friends need me."

Suddenly, the stallion's face drooped, like he was sad.

"Aww, but we were just gonna play a game," the stallion next to the southern one replied, beginning to smirk.

Pretty soon, the three stallions were surrounding her, slowly closing in. Fluttershy just shrank down as they closed in.

"W-What's the g-g-game...?" Fluttershy asked.

The stallion she first encountered chuckled silently. He smirked, and spoke out only one word...

"You."

Fluttershy couldn't take it anymore. As quick as she could, she opened her wings and flew right by them as quick as she could away from them.

"Stop her!" The stallion spoke. The pegasus stallion then opened his wings and flew after Fluttershy.

Fluttershy flew high into the clouds, hoping to evade him. But everywhere she went, he followed. As she soared through the sky, she spotted a structure in the air made entirely out of clouds. It obviously looked too small to be Cloudsdale, which brought Fluttershy to the only conclusion: Rainbow Dash's house.

As quick as she could, she flew towards Rainbow's home, hoping to get there before the other pegasus got her. As she flew, the house quickly enlarged as she came soaring at it. It was right in her reach. All she had to do was fly a few more-

"Aaa-mmmmph!" Fluttershy screamed until it became a muffle. She was fast, but too slow, as the pegasus finally caught up to her and covered her mouth, trying to silence her screams.

Fluttershy was being held tight by the stallion, and being the weak mare she is, she couldn't break free from his grip. Then she realized his hoof's in her mouth. She then slowly opened her mouth as much as she could. Suddenly, she heard a *shing* noise, and looked down to see a knife, pointed at her neck. Suddenly, she began to hear the stallion whispering into her ear.

"You bite mah arm, and ah swear to Discord and Nightmare Moon, ah will slit yer throat. Understand?"

Fluttershy slowly put her mouth down, listening to the stallion's words. If he was serious, she wouldn't want to end up like any of their other victims. Without force, the pegasus flew down, his forelegs still wrapped around Fluttershy's neck, and the knife still at her neck. After a few moments, they reached the other ponies.

Suddenly, Fluttershy started to break down in tears, and she began to beg for her life, begging them not to take her life from her. If that happened, what would happen to the others? Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity...She didn't know what would become of them if she lost her life.

"Relax, sweet pea. We ain't gonna kill ya," the southern pony finally responded.

Just a moment after hearing that response, Fluttershy began to feel relieved. She no longer felt much in danger than she was in right now. But what did they want her for?

Suddenly, the earth pony slowly walked up to her, put his mouth up to her ear, and whispered into it.

"But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with our...new toy before we leave."

Fluttershy felt confusion for a few moments. What did he mean by "new toy"?

Suddenly, she realized what they were talking about. The new toy was...

"Me?" She spoke out, her voice cracking a bit.

"Oh, yes. We may not kill you, but we will have some fun with you. Also, you are much, much cuter than the others, and for that, I'm sparing you."

Fluttershy smiled.

"On one condition..."

That smile then faded.

"Wh-What condition?" She asked. The pony smiled, chuckled, and turned around for a second, before turning back to her.

"The one condition is that...whatever we do to you...you must let us do-no...you will let us do. Painful or not. If you accept, we let you go when we're done, but if you don't..." He held out a knife and held it up to her chin.

"Night Night."

"B-But you said you wouldn't k-kill me!" Fluttershy replied.

"I did. However, I didn't say I wouldn't if you rejected my offer to spare your life."

Fluttershy was scared and shivering. She felt like she would wet herself. She wanted to try to fly away again, but that probably wouldn't be a good idea. If she wanted to get out of here - alive - she'd have to play by the rules. Their rules.

"Okay..." Fluttershy whispered, but loud enough for the ponies to hear her.

"Excellent," the earth pony replied. He then got up on his hind legs and balanced on them. He unzipped the jacket he had on to reveal his seemingly large package to Fluttershy. This was the second time Fluttershy had ever actually seen one up close like this. The only other time was with her stallionfriend when she caught him...pleasuring himself.

Fluttershy looked at the stallionhood. It was drooped downward, but it was fairly long.

"Lick it," the stallion above her spoke a bit coldly.

Wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible, Fluttershy obeyed his command, and began to lick the top of the shaft, up and down, receiving moans and grunts from the stallion.

"Oooh yeah...just like that..." the stallion responded.

As she continued to lick the stallion's stallionhood, it slowly began to rise and harden. Thanks to a few books from Twilight's library, Fluttershy knew the stallion was getting an erection.

Seeming how she's grown up without any knowledge of the stallion and mare reproductive organs - and without masturbating also - Fluttershy had no idea about any of this before reading the books. She's rarely ever read any books, because she was too busy taking care of the animals. However, whenever she had some free time at night, she grabbed one of the books and read, learning about the wonders and possible joys of sex.

However, this was not joyful at all. Instead of sex being a wonderful and joyous event like the books told her, this, right now, was a situation between life and death. If she didn't do what they told her, they'd kill her, and she'd never see her friends again.

After another minute, the stallion's shaft was stiff and straight.

"Now suck it," he spoke coldly again.

"W-What?" Fluttershy asked, not exactly listening to what he said.

"Did I stutter? I said suck it. Now!" He yelled at her, holding the knife up. Seeing her reflection in the knife and fearing for her safety, Fluttershy obeyed his command and began to place the hardened sex organ into her mouth, and began to bob back and forth on it.

"Thaaat's it, you little slut...juuust like that...You sure you haven't done this before?"

Fluttershy's heart was shattered. She had never been called a slut before, and she had never done this in her life. She only wanted to once she was ready, with the stallion she loved. She wasn't ready...not now, and this wasn't the stallion she loved. This was only a stallion driven by lust, along with his two sidekicks, eager with lust.

Suddenly, she felt something rubbing her nether region. She twitched and squirmed for a moment, and then heard a voice.

"Awww yeah. Ain't seen a pussy this fine since...well, since Manehattan."

"Are they talking about my...oh my..." Fluttershy thought, embarrassed a bit, and blushing.

Suddenly, two hooves grabbed the sides of Fluttershy's head and forced her to thrust back and forth. She looked up hardly to see the stallion, forcing her to thrust.

"Mmmmmm...." The stallion moaned and thrusted Fluttershy's head faster, causing the shaft to faintly touch Fluttershy's uvula. This was causing Fluttershy to gag, and she sort of patted the stallion's side to get his attention.

For some reason, he couldn't seem to respond to her, and kept going. By now, Fluttershy felt like she was choking, which she partially was.

"I'm gonna...I'm cumming..." The stallion said.

He then thrusted Fluttershy's head a few more times before he stopped, and a loud and long moan left his mouth. Fluttershy didn't exactly know what was going on, until a liquid started to fill her mouth. It was a sudden surprise to her. It had the sudden salty taste. Fluttershy then knew what it was. It was the stallion's semen, meaning he was ejaculating into her mouth. Fluttershy had known a few of the meanings for ejaculation: Orgasm, cumming, the typical meanings.

The liquid was quickly filling her mouth, and in order to avoid choking more than she was, or even throwing up, possibly disappointing the stallion, she quickly tried to swallow it in quick gulps, not gulping too quickly.

"Such a naughty mare you are, gulping that down," the stallion said to her, smirking at her.

A few moments later, the liquid stopped flowing, and the stallion pulled his shaft out of her mouth. There was still an amount of cum still inside Fluttershy's mouth, so when the stallion pulled out, she instantly spit out the cum onto the ground, coughing as she did.

"Awww, it wasn't that bad, wasn't it?" The stallion sarcastically asked.

After coughing, the violated mare started taking large breaths, trying to regain her breath.

"Eep!" She suddenly shrieked when she felt something wet touch her nethers once more. She looked down to see the southern-like stallion begin to lick her marehood furiously, causing her to feel a bit dizzy very quickly.

"N-No! S-Stop! D-Don't do th-th-that!" She yelled, right before bucking the stallion in the head with her hind leg.

She didn't care if she killed him or not. The moment she got free, she began to fly, but was quickly stopped when the unicorn grabbed her before she could even get off the ground. He held both her forelegs with his hooves and pushed her down forcefully onto her back, breaking one of her wings in the process. She tried to scream in pain, but the unicorn quickly covered her mouth, causing her to muffle her screams.

The unicorn's face was filled with anger, and he looked like he wanted to kill her. When he removed his other hoof from her other foreleg to grab his knife, that's exactly what Fluttershy thought he was going to do...until she felt an extreme pain in her left hindleg just a moment later. She looked down to see the knife dug into her hindleg. Blood was dripping down her leg within moments. She had the sudden thought it cut an artery. The pain became so unbearable, she began to cry, tears falling down her face.

"That wouldn't have happened if you just stayed the fuck down, wouldn't it?" The unicorn spoke. He had a mixture of a Germane accent like Photo Finish, and a Europonean accent like Lotus Blossom.

"Calm now, Rider. No need to get so riled up," the earth pony said to the unicorn.

"Just felt like crippling her. I just don't want this bitch flying away," he responded, looking at the earth pony. He then looked back to Fluttershy.

"Maybe we should kill her, just so she doesn't try to escape again. Then when we're done, we can just cut the body up and dump it somewhere where they'll never find her..." He spoke coldly.

This caused Fluttershy to scream uncontrollably in the unicorn's hoof, earning a smack from the other.

"Shut up!" He yelled angrily into her face, but not too loud. Fluttershy went dead silent in an instant.

"Now, Rider...even though we do what we do...we made a promise to this mare...we are not going to kill her. Got it?"

Rider began to think for a moment, before sighing angrily.

"You're such a fuckin' tease, you know that, Bullet?" He replied.

The earth pony now known as Bullet chuckled a bit. He then looked down to Fluttershy's hindleg, where he saw a small puddle of blood beginning to form under it. Slowly, he took it out, causing Fluttershy to shriek once more into Rider's hoof, causing Rider to glare at her. Fluttershy went silent once again, but couldn't help but whimper from the pain of the broken wing and stabbed hindleg. She looked up to Bullet to see him licking the knife up and down, tasting Fluttershy's blood.

"Mmm Mmm. Nothing better than tasting the blood of a victim..." Bullet replied.

He then slowly brought the knife towards Fluttershy.

"Move your hoof," he spoke to Rider, and Rider responded by moving his hoof from Fluttershy's mouth.

"P-P-Please...don't hurt me anymore..." She whimpered.

"Taste it," he said to her.

Not wanting to be punished, she obeyed and began to lick the knife. The taste reminded her of the iron of bits.

"Now, swallow it," Bullet added.

Obeying, Fluttershy began to gulp her own blood down her throat, beginning to feel a bit sick just doing so. She looked back to Bullet to see him inspecting the knife for an unknown reason.

"I see she licked it clean. Impressive," he complimented.

"Now then..." He began as he put the knife away.

"...shall we get back to business?"

"Yes we shall," the pegasus replied, sinking his head down to Fluttershy's nether region once more. He placed his mouth onto her marehood, causing Fluttershy to moan a little. He then placed his tongue on it and began to lick it in an up and down motion like before.

Fluttershy slowly squirmed on the ground, moaning uncontrollably, unable to move with Rider pinning her forelegs down, and his body on top of her, making it impossible for her to move, so all she could do was squirm as the pegasus ate her out.

"N...No...Please...D-Don't..."

They didn't listen to her. They only continued to slowly sexually torture her. This went on for several minutes, with Fluttershy just wiggling and squirming under Rider. Suddenly, Fluttershy began to feel a sudden sensation begin in her pelvis.

"U...I....I-I..." She began to pant hard, like she was hyperventilating. She had no idea what was going on.

"Go on, hon...cum for us..."

She then knew what was going on. She was going to have an orgasm.

"I-I-I...I-I'm..." Suddenly, her voice made a high-pitched squeak, and she began to twitch uncontrollably. Even with the pain she was in, this felt...mind-blowing. She could feel herself releasing her liquids. She looked down for a brief second to see the pegasus's face being covered by her juices, and lapping it up with his tongue.

"Ahhh...nyah..." Fluttershy moaned a bit more. Finally, her juices stopped squirting out, but she kept twitching and writhing in the aftermath.

"Well now...you shot a damn lot...Ah'll give ya that," the pegasus said to her after drinking her juices.

"Ah guess we should...get down to the real business now," he then said, smirking creepily towards Fluttershy, which creeped her out. What was the real business they meant?

That was when she saw something at the corner of her eye. She looked down to the pegasus's waist to see his shaft beginning to emerge between his hindlegs. The pegasus then looked to the others.

"So who gets which hole?" He asked.

Fluttershy was a little confused about his question. Suddenly, it struck her. They were going to put...in...

"Ah get pussy," the pegasus called.

"I guess mouth," Bullet added.

"I guess the ass wouldn't be too bad," Rider spoke, grinning coldly at Fluttershy, causing Fluttershy to whimper silently.

Bullet then walked to Fluttershy, and looked at her.

"Get up," he said.

Fluttershy quickly obeyed, and got up, trying to make sure she didn't cause pain to her wing and foreleg.

"Now walk to me."

She slowly walked towards Bullet, mostly because of the pain in her foreleg, and everytime she moved, her wing would move along, causing pain with every movement. Once she was right in front of Bullet, she stopped and whimpered.

"Now open your mouth," he said, getting up on his hindlegs again with his shaft hardened.

Fluttershy knew what he was doing, and she opened her mouth like he said. Slowly, he slid his shaft into her mouth, moaning as he did so.

"Ohhhh yesss...I missed this..."

The pegasus then crawled under Fluttershy, and wrapped his forelegs around her body, pulling her down slightly, just enough so he could enter her. Slowly, he entered her marehood, with Fluttershy moaning past Bullet's shaft, but not moans of pleasure. It hurt, seeming how she was so small, and he was so...big.

Suddenly, she felt him push into her as hard as she could, causing a searing, unbearable pain to shoot through her marehood, causing her to scream in pain, only for it to come out as a muffle, which seemed to give Bullet pleasure from the vibrations. He had broken through her hymen, but forcefully. Fluttershy couldn't see it, but she could feel the blood beginning to drip out.

The pegasus then slowly began to pull out, only to shove it back into her again, harder than before, causing Fluttershy to cry in pain again, which gave Bullet more pleasure. Soon enough, Bullet grabbed Fluttershy's head like before, and began to thrust in and out. At this point, Fluttershy was crying now. She had never experienced this much pain in her life.

"You better get ready, you little slut," she heard Rider speak, "I'm going in dry."

'Going in dry'? What did he mean by-

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" Fluttershy screeched at the top of her lungs as Rider thrusted his stallionhood into Fluttershy's rear end, but the screech was muffled by Bullet's shaft, so her screams were silent except to the three stallions violating her.

"That's it. Scream for me, you little..." Rider paused for a moment and began to pull out, "whore!" He then slammed it back in, earning another scream from Fluttershy. By now, tears were pouring down Fluttershy's face, and she begged them to stop, but all that came out were muffles.

Rider thrusted deeper into Fluttershy's throat, nearly choking her like before. The pegasus thrusted deep into Fluttershy's marehood, causing more pain than pleasure. Rider thrusted hard and deep into Fluttershy's anal hole, causing pain the whole time. This went on for at least 5 minutes. By then, Rider's thrusting became became more slick, possibly because of blood. She was shaking, mostly from the help of the stallions pulling or pushing her as they destroyed her innocence. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Out of all the mares in Equestria, why did it have to happen to her? Why? That question rang through Fluttershy's head.

'Why me?'

Suddenly, she began to hear the stallions moaning and groaning. She knew what it meant. They were going to cum again. The pegasus raised his head up to Fluttershy's ear. His hot breath made Fluttershy shiver with fear.

"Ah'm gunna cum. Ah'm gunna cum inside you...and there ain't nuthin' you can do about it, hon..." He said to her. This brought fear to Fluttershy. She knew what would happen if he...released inside her.

"NNMOOO. PLWAS DON!" She said, unable to properly speak.

"Too bad. Can't hear ya. Here it cums..."

The pegasus, Rider, and Bullet all increased their thrusts. Finally, they froze and went as deep as they could go into Fluttershy's holes. Fluttershy tried to scream, but Bullet's fluids prevented that from happening. The pegasus released his fluids deep into Fluttershy's womb, cum coating her vaginal walls. Rider released his seed far into Fluttershy, cum completely covering her anal walls. The cum from both the pegasus and Rider began to leak out from both of Fluttershy's holes, dripping onto the ground below.

Once the three came back down to Equestria, they slowly pulled out of Fluttershy, cum spilling out of both the vaginal and anal holes. Fluttershy was forced to gulp down the cum when Bullet came. However, Fluttershy still coughed and breathed, trying to regain her breath. Once she could breathe, she spoke to the stallions.

"P-Please...C...Can I g-g...go now...?" Fluttershy asked, hoping this was her chance to finally escape with her life, despite all she went through. She faintly smiled, or tried to.

"...Who said we were finished with you?" Rider said, looking down at the destroyed mare.

Her fake smile faded.

"Wh...What?" She whimpered, feeling shattered.

"We never said we were satisfied. Besides...yer a lot more...fun than the others," the pegasus added. He then went up to her ear, and began to breathe into it again. The feeling of his hot breathe made Fluttershy shiver and shake with fear.

"We've got a looong time 'till sunset. Ah can tell this will be quite...a night to remember," he whispered into her ear.

Rider went up into her other ear, and smiled.

"Get ready, you little slut...it's gonna be a loooong night..."

It was around 7:36 am, when a pony was jogging along the trails near the slowly awakening town of Ponyville, listening to Lincolt Park, and enjoying the passing scenery.

*rustle*

The pony suddenly stopped when she heard the noise. What was that? She looked around. She didn't see anything that could've made that noise. Her eyes then slowly landed on a bush by the side of the path. It seems that something was moving in it. Could it be a squirrel? A cat? A raccoon?

Being curious, the mare slowly approached the bush with caution, just in case it was dangerous. Slowly, she began to open it up. What she found would scar her for life...

Author's Note

I don't know if this seems a bit rushed and cheesy, but if you like it, you like it. :D

I had the sudden idea days ago to write about RAPE because...well that's me. It was originally going to be a filly rape story, but being how I am, I'm not THAT cruel...okay, I am. I might do a grown up/filly sex thing. Maybe with Sweetie Belle. So innocent and cute. A great mind to shatter.
...

I'm so cruel. Hope you enjoyed this chapter...I guess. You know, I whine about my stories all the time. I can't help it. :3

Hospital

It was only a regular morning in the hospital. Patients were checking out, new patients were rolling in, doctors and nurses headed to their stations to help. To make a difference. To save lives. However, none of them would be prepared for what happened next.

Suddenly, as if a powerful wind did so, the front doors of the hospital burst open. However, it was not from a powerful wind, but from a small number of doctors and nurses, speeding a gurney through the halls of the hospital as quick as they could to get to the ER - also known as the Emergency Room. Many of the doctors and nurses couldn't tell who they were bringing in, but once they could see, their faces turned to complete shock.

"Ms. Fluttershy?" One of the nurses called out. That very nurse was Nurse Redheart, a nurse who had worked at the Ponyville Hospital for 13 years. She had known Fluttershy since the day she first ended up in Ponyville. She hardly came here, but when she did, she was always very calm and patient, such as when she got her shots for Pony Pox. She never expected to see her come in a gurney.

As quick as she could, she ran to the gurney, hoping to see the damage done. The scene stunned and shocked her immediately. Parts of Fluttershy's body was black and blue, giving the indication that someone had attacked her. She tried to see any further damage, but a blanket was covering the rest of her body.

Redheart didn't pay attention to the front of her until she ended up smacking right into the wall, causing her to fall to the ground. The doctors and nurses carried the gurney away, turning left at the very end of the next hallway. Questions rang through Redheart's head. What happened to Fluttershy? Why does she have all those bruises? And an even bigger question - Who did it?

That was when she realized: Fluttershy had other friends. Did they know of Fluttershy's condition? She had to be sure. As quick as she could, she ran out the front doors and down the path that led to the town of Ponyville. Redheart wasn't sure who to go to first. Twilight Sparkle? Pinkie Pie? Applejack? Lightning Flash?

That last name startled Redheart. She realized one day that Fluttershy came in with the stallion with that very name. Fluttershy told her they were a couple. How would he take it? How would her stallionfriend take the news, knowing Fluttershy was...assaulted?

That question didn't matter at the moment. The other question, however, quickly came with an answer, and she bolted her way to the slowly awakening town.

It was about 9:19 a.m when Twilight Sparkle awakened from her deep slumber. The party last night certainly wore her out. To clear the blurriness in her eyes, she wiped them with her hooves until she could see crystal clear. She slowly, and carefully, got out of bed, trying not to fall down like she did a few nights ago. Successfully, she managed to get on all fours without flaw.

Once standing, she walked her way to her #1 assistant's bed, where she saw him snuggled in his blanket, possibly tired from the party. They had been there for at least 5 hours last night, so he had to have been at least a little bit tired. Well, seeming on how Spike fell asleep right when they got home last night, of course he was tired.

Deciding to let him sleep for a little longer, Twilight headed downstairs to the kitchen area, where she immediately started making some breakfast. It was mostly the usual as it was every morning; eggs and toast. They used to have this extra food called bacon. They tried it and immediately loved it. They had it every morning for at least a month...until they found out how it was made. Never again would she eat that murderous treat, no matter how good it tasted.

Twilight grabbed four eggs; two for her, two for Spike. She cracked them and placed them onto the pan, watching as they sizzled. Once they were cooking, she grabbed two pieces of bread and placed them into the toaster, then pushed the switch down, turning it on.

It took a few minutes, but eventually, the eggs were finally cooked to perfection, as well as the toast. Twilight grabbed two plates and placed the eggs and toast on both. Twilight carried both plates to the dining table, and sat both down on opposite sides. She sat down on one side and began to eat. But not before placing a spell on Spike's food. The spell was to keep a certain object warm for a certain amount of time. Spike was bound to awaken soon, and when he did, his food would still be warm, as if it was just made. Twilight took the first bite of her eggs, and a tasteful sensation filled her mouth. After chewing for a few moments, she swallowed, then picked up another piece.

*knock knock knock*

Twilight Sparkle stopped when she heard the knocking. Who could that be? She definitely wasn't expecting anypony, especially this early in the morning. Was most likely Pinkie Pie inviting her to another party, or Rainbow Dash plotting to pull a prank the moment she opens the door.

"Twilight Sparkle?"

Her previous thoughts became invalid, for when she heard the voice, she instantly recognized who it belonged to. Putting down her fork, she got up from the table and headed to the front door. When she opened it, she was, indeed, greeted by the owner of the voice, Nurse Redheart.

"Nurse Redheart," Twilight began. "What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"

"Twilight Sparkle, you must come to the hospital immediately," Redheart replied with worry in her voice, the tone that made Twilight curious.

"Why? What's the matter?"

Redheart nodded. "It's Ms. Fluttershy. She's been attacked!"

Twilight's blood ran cold. Fluttershy? Attacked? No. No, this has to be a mistake. A joke. Something. Who in the wide, wide world of Equestria would attack somepony as innocent, fragile, and caring as Fluttershy?

However, Twilight knew that this was, indeed, not a joke. This was real. A pony like Nurse Redheart would never joke about something so serious, especially with Fluttershy involved. Twilight agreed that she would meet Redheart at the hospital, but first, she had to do a few things. She didn't want to bring Spike. If the damage was severe, she wouldn't want him to be scarred by the image.

As Redheart left to head back to the hospital, Twilight took out a note, and wrote down a few words on it. It was only a brief note. Once the note was finished, she placed it next to his plate, then headed out the door for the next objective: telling the others.

To be honest, she was afraid. How would her friends react, hearing that Fluttershy was attacked by someone? Most importantly, how would Fluttershy's stallionfriend react? He was more caring than her, and he was always worried for her safety. He was also sometimes sensitive, even for a stallion. How would he react to the news?

She decided not to dwell on that, as she'll cross that bridge when she comes to it. The one thing she was focusing on was getting all of her friends together, and getting to the hospital as soon as ponyly possible.

It was now 9:53 a.m. Twilight and the others arrived at the hospital about 10 minutes ago. Her friends' reactions were mostly a state of shock and horror, same as Twilight's. Lightning, however, took it the hardest. The fact that he wasn't there shattered him. However, he still stayed strong, just waiting for the doctors to tell them something.

Redheart was in the room Fluttershy was in, checking on blood levels and damage to her body. Since Redheart hasn't left the room since they arrived, they didn't know the full damage. However, they just hoped it wasn't too bad. But doctors did say someone assaulted her. Still, their hopes for minimal were pretty high.

They stayed in the waiting room for around 20 minutes, just waiting and hoping to get an answer. They waited and waited and waited. It felt like hours, yet it hadn't even been 30 minutes.

At around 10:10, they all heard a noise. They turned around to the source to see a doctor walking through the doorway. He had a slight look of concern on his face, like he was a bit afraid to say what he had to.

"What is it, doctor? What happened to Fluttershy?" Twilight was the first to speak up.

The doctor didn't reply for a few seconds. He slowly took off his glasses and placed them into his coat pocket. Once he did that, he looked back to them.

"Ms. Fluttershy, I'm afraid, was..." He paused for a moment, looking like he didn't want to say the next few words.

"...well...sexually assaulted...last night."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Sexually assaulted?

"...You mean she was..." Twilight paused, but the doctor finished her sentence before she could.

"...Raped. Yes, that is exactly what I am saying, Ms. Sparkle. I wish it wasn't true, but I'm afraid it is."

Twilight slowly looked down. Raped? Fluttershy was raped? ...But...why? Who would rape somepony so caring? So fragile? So...innocent?

"May...May we see her?" Twilight then asked, sounding like a child asking for candy.

"Yes. But I'm afraid...stallions are not allowed inside."

Lightning's saddened face turned to slight anger and confusion.

"What, why?"

"Because...I'm afraid the incident had...well, scarred Ms. Fluttershy's image. Meaning, she seems to have a panic attack whenever a stallion is around her. Whenever she hears a stallion's voice, same thing. It's happened many times before you arrived. That is the reason I've left her with the nurses."

"So, I came here only to find out I can't see my marefriend?" Lightning asked angrily.

"Unless you find a spell that turns you into a mare, then you cannot enter that room. I'm sorry, Mr. Flash. We were certainly not expecting this. Ladies, be in mind that Ms. Fluttershy is currently asleep at the moment. Be careful when or if you intend to wake her. She is still very fragile. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go assist some patients."

After that, the doctor began to walk away, leaving the group alone. A few moments after he left, they slowly began to enter the room, leaving Lightning to stand alone. However, Twilight turned around, holding the door, allowing the others to enter. She looked at the stallion, who's head was down, and tears were forming in his eyes. His mare was raped. Assaulted. Beaten. Many words to describe it....and he couldn't even be able to see her?

"Lightning?" Twilight spoke up, which slowly got his attention. However, he did not lift his head.

"Don't worry," he replied fairly quickly. "I'm fine."

His voice was cracked. Tears flowed down his face as he looked up to Twilight. She could see how much pain he was in. She knew how much he wanted to see Fluttershy just by looking at his face. A few times, he looked like he tried to say something, but couldn't seem to get it out. He was possibly still having a tough time trying to get everything wrapped around his head.

"I...I gotta go, alright?"

"Are you sure?"

"Well...there's really no point in just standing out here the whole time, right?" He chuckled slightly. Twilight knew he was right. If he couldn't go in, why stay?

"Just...tell Fluttershy I'm glad she's alright...and...tell her...tell her I love her so much...okay?"

Tears began to fall down Lightning's face again, like he would break down right there in the hallway. Twilight guessed he wanted to go before that happened.

"Al...Alright, then. Goodbye...then."

"Later, Twilight."

After saying goodbye, Lightning began to head down the hallway leading to the exit. Twilight watched as he walked down the hallway, until he finally turned to the right and disappeared behind the corner. She stared at the area he stood for a few seconds, before finally heading into the room, where her injured friend awaited her.

When she entered, it was a little corridor, around 10 hooves long. A door left of her had a symbol on it. The symbol portrayed a stallion and a mare, side by side, showing that this was the bathroom.

When she arrived in the room, it was a bit bigger than she had expected. It looked to be around 12 hooves wide. The decor of the room wasn't exactly much. There were a few pictures hanging on the walls. Some portrayed mountainsides and lakes; others portrayed the ocean. One picture portrayed the Equestria Trade Center in Manehattan, its twin towers standing tall above the skyline.

After looking at the pictures, Twilight focused her eyes to the bed. Lying down in the bed was her dear friend, Fluttershy, asleep and bruised, but luckily alive. There was a black and blue mark on her neck, as well as what looked like a hoofmark which means the stallions that...did this to her must've choked her maybe several times during it. This just didn't make any sense. It all seemed like a dream, just a figment of her imagination. But it was not. This was reality. The real world. Life. An unfair one. This wasn't fair. It just wasn't. Fluttershy didn't deserve this. Nopony deserves this.

"The poor darling..." Rarity was the first to speak up, but quietly as to not awaken the unconscious mare. Her breathing was steady and normal. Her body was the opposite of normal. One of her eyes were black and swollen as a result of the attack. Who in Tartarus was so cruel and sick to do this to a mare? Especially Fluttershy?

This question was interrupted when they began to hear a high pitched yawn emerging from the bed. They looked to see that Fluttershy had started to awaken from her slumber. According to the doctors, Fluttershy had been unconscious for around an hour and a half. The reason was a panic attack from seeing a stallion doctor.

After that, they only allowed one stallion doctor in the room; the one that just left. However, he claimed he left because of another panic attack. How come they didn't hear it? Maybe they put her to sleep before she could do anything?

"...H-Huh?" A whisper arose from Fluttershy's gentle lips. Slowly, she looked around with her open eye, to see the ponies before her, only to find out that they were her friends.

Quickly, Fluttershy jumped back a bit, gasping in sudden surprise.

"W-Whoa there, hon. Doctor says ya can't move 'round too much," Applejack was the first to respond.

"Where...Where am I?" Fluttershy asked.

"You're in the hospital," Twilight replied, "They told us you were attacked last night."

Fluttershy's face suddenly showed slight confusion, like she didn't know what Twilight was talking about...until the thoughts came back to her. They flashed through her. The pain coursed through her again. She would not let the panic take over again. Quickly, she tightened her eyes, trying to suppress the thoughts, breathing heavily as she tried to do so.

"Fluttershy? What's wrong?" Twilight asked, extremely worried.

The moment Twilight spoke, the visions suddenly seemed to fade as quick as they came. It was almost as if they never happened. She knew, however, it wouldn't be the end of it.

"I...I-I remember..." Fluttershy slowly said, her voice cracked.

The room became silent for only a couple of seconds, before Fluttershy began to break into tears, remembering all the pain she endured just 12 hours ago; all the things they did to her...all the ways they violated her and stole her innocence. It all flooded back to her.

"Darling..." Rarity said, her voice cracking from heartbreak, seeing Fluttershy's sudden action. Slowly, she leaned over the bed, and started to gently hug the sobbing mare. Soon enough, the rest of the girls joined in on the hug, letting Fluttershy know that her friends were here for her.

For the first time in just 12 hours, Fluttershy felt safe. Safe and protected. However, that would never last.

Suddenly, Fluttershy had a sudden thought...Where's Lightning? Why wasn't he here with the others?

"U-Uh...g-girls? W...Where's Lightning?"

The girls slowly parted from the hug, looking at each other for a moment, before Rarity spoke up.

"Darling...I'm afraid you might not be seeing him for quite a while."

"Why?"

Twilight added in, "The doctors said you started having a panic attack whenever you saw a stallion around you. They wouldn't let him in for your safety."

Panic attack?

That was when it all came back to her.

"O-Oh...r-right..."

It was silent once more for a moment or two.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you, Fluttershy," Twilight said, sadness in her cracked voice.

"I-It's alright. T-They didn't hurt me too bad," she lied.

"'Not too bad'?" Rainbow suddenly yelled, but not too loud. "Fluttershy, they raped you! Beat you! Look at your eye! It's black! How did they not hurt you too bad?"

"Rainbow," Twilight said a bit angrily, which silenced the pegasus, mumbling to herself silently.

"Don't worry, hon," Applejack added. "We'll make sure them varmints git what's coming to them. Until then, we'll be here for ya."

Fluttershy smiled. A tear fell down her face as she looked at Applejack.

"T-Thank you, Applejack." She looked to the others. "Thank all of y-you."

The girls began to smile. Pinkie Pie, for the first time since she heard the news, smiled, her poofy hair returning. Once more, they all joined in on a hug, securing themselves in the safety in comfort of each other.

Fluttershy felt safe again, knowing she was in the care of her best friends. Soon enough, she'd be even safer, being in the care of her stallionfriend. For now, that'll have to wait.

Right now, recovering is the only objective. But recovering from something like this will take much longer than anything. In the end, it will definitely be worth it.

Hours had passed, as the girls stayed in Fluttershy's room, talking about...well, what they usually talked about. They talked little about the incident, and whenever they didn't, they acted as if it never happened. It would've worked, had it not been for the setting they were in, as well as the bruises on Fluttershy's body and eye.

Fluttershy's bruises were clearly visible on her body. Black and blue on most spots, proving that they beat her most of the time. The black eye, Fluttershy explained, was because she refused one of their demands. Had she rejected another, it probably would've proved fatal.

Soon enough, day began to turn to night. It was now around 8:00 p.m. 10 whole hours had passed since their arrival. Soon enough, their time here had to end.

The door of the room opened, and someone walked in. They all looked to see it had been a nurse, and thankfully not a stallion. This wasn't just any nurse, though. It was Nurse Redheart, the same nurse that told the five of them of Fluttershy just this morning.

"Hey, girls. Having a good time?" Redheart began.

"Yes, nurse. We're fine," Applejack replied, smiling to the well known nurse.

"That's good. I'm afraid, though, that you'll have to come back tomorrow. Ms. Fluttershy here needs her rest."

The girls all went "aww!" in disappointment, but they quickly admitted it. It was pretty exhausting having a conversation for almost half a day, and not doing anything else. Plus, they were all pretty tired by now. One by one, they all said goodbye to the yellow pegasus, and left through the door back to their homes. Twilight, however, ran back home, forgetting that she left Spike all alone at home the whole day.

Once all of the girls had left the room, Redheart closed the door behind her, then turned to Fluttershy's bed.

"H-Hi, Nurse," Fluttershy said, smiling to the well known pony.

Redheart walked over to the bed and stood next to it. She smiled back to Fluttershy.

"How're you doing, Miss Fluttershy?" She finally asked.

"O-Oh, I'm doing just fine," Fluttershy replied, smiling still.

Redheart smiled, then turned towards a table where she had set down a pillow and a blanket. She headed over to it and first picked up the pillow. She turned back towards Fluttershy and walked over to her.

"Can you gently lift your head up, dear?" Redheart asked politely.

"Oh, okay." Fluttershy did as she was told, and lifted her head high enough that it was off the pillow. Redheart grabbed the pillow that Fluttershy had been using the entire day and set it onto the table behind her, next to the fresh blanket. Once that was done, Redheart picked up the blanket, then turned back to the bed. She set the blanket aside onto the drawer next to the bed, then began to pull the blanket from between the mattresses. Once they were out from between, she pulled the entire blanket off of the bed, leaving the bed and the timid yellow pegasus exposed.

"U-Uh...Ms. Redheart?" Fluttershy spoke up.

"Yes, Miss Fluttershy?" Redheart looked up as she was placing the old blanket onto the table behind her.

"I...I need to...u-um...I need to...pee."

"You need to what?" Redheart didn't exactly hear what she said at first.

"I need to...pee," Fluttershy repeated, but louder.

"Oh," Redheart responded. "Alright then. Do you need help or anything?"

"U-Uh, n-no. I think I'll be fine."

Slowly, Fluttershy began to turn so her hind legs aimed towards the edge of the bed. She then slowly began to get off the bed. Pain quickly followed, but it wasn't enough to cause the mare to collapse to the floor. She started to walk, and every step hurt. It still stung from the events that occured nearly 24 hours ago.

"Miss Fluttershy? Are you alright?"

"Y...Yes," Fluttershy managed to reply. Every step was complete agony for the timid mare. She only managed to walk just 10 hooves from her bed before she collapsed to the ground, crying in pain. Redheart immediately rushed to her side.

"It's okay, Fluttershy, I have you. Don't worry," Redheart tried to keep the pegasus calm. It would've been easier to fly, but due to the event, that option is no longer possible. Walking is the only, but more difficult, way.

Slowly, Redheart lifted Fluttershy off the ground back onto her hooves, and slowly began to guide her to the bathroom, supporting her as much as she ponyly could, should she fall down again. Successfully, though, she did make it to the bathroom. Redheart lifted a hoof to the light switch to turn the light on. Once she flicked it upward, the room immediately lit up. Redheart then guided the pegasus towards the toilet, just a few hooves away. When they reached it, the nurse slowly helped Fluttershy onto the toilet, with Fluttershy doing most of the work, of course. She wasn't completely useless, after all. Not implying she was useless in the first place, of course.

Once Fluttershy's soft, yellow tushie was sat completely onto the toilet seat, she winced from the pain, but she kept it inside. She sat down onto it, getting used to it. A few seconds passed by before Fluttershy spoke up.

"U-Um...Can I...be alone...?" She asked.

"O-Oh! Right. Sorry, Miss. Take all the time you need," Redheart quickly said, chuckling a bit, before leaving the bathroom. She stood right outside the door in case Fluttershy had needed any help whatsoever. Seconds later, she began to hear a liquid pouring into the toilet. Redheart obviously had known Fluttershy was...doing what a mare needs to do. Soon enough, though, she heard the sound of a flush, which meant Fluttershy was finished. A few seconds later, she opened up the door.

"Fluttershy? Do you need help?"

"No. I g-got it this time, Nurse. Th-Thank you," Fluttershy replied, smiling at the nurse as she began to push herself off the seat. Successfully, she landed on all fours, a bit of pain from her rather private parts in the process. She slowly began to walk towards the sink. Fluttershy lifted herself off the floor so her forehooves could reach the knobs. She turned the water on and added soap to her soft hooves. She began to wash them under the warm, soapy water. After around 30 seconds, she turned the water off, then slowly began to make her way out of the bathroom. Soon enough, she fell once again, but Redheart was right there to support her and make sure she made her way to the bed. Successfully, she did. Gently, Fluttershy pushed herself up so she was laying into the position she was in before. Once she was in her previous position, Redheart finally went over to the fresh blanket and began to set it on top of the bed.

Fluttershy's body quickly became enveloped in the warm fluffiness of the blanket's material. It felt completely relaxing to her. For the first time in the past 24 hours, all of the pain inside of her seemed to just...disappear. However, it was only temporary. She knew the pain would come back soon. But for now, she just decided to enjoy the relaxation while it lasted.

"There you go," Redheart began as she finished making the rest of the bed. "Now, just get some sleep, alright?"

"O-Okay..."

Redheart looked at Fluttershy's face. She wasn't sure, but it looked like Fluttershy didn't want to be by herself.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy. You'll be just fine tonight. Don't worry. Just get a good night's rest. Okay?"

Fluttershy nodded in response, smiling back at the nurse, believing her. Of course, she can believe her. Redheart was one of the most protective doctors here. Seeming how Fluttershy was a much closer patient than any other, she would definitely make sure she was okay, even after what had happened recently.

"A-Alright, then...G...Good night, Nurse Redheart."

The nurse smiled at the yellow pegasus, and leaned over her. She wrapped her forelegs around the pegasus, but was really careful not to touch her wing. She gave the pegasus a gentle, but caring and loving hug. It didn't last very long, as Redheart pulled away from the pegasus.

"Good night, Fluttershy. Sleep tight."

Redheart then walked over to the table and grabbed the old pillow and blanket, placed them onto her back, then began to walk out. Before she left, she took one last look at Fluttershy, who's eyes were already closed. She smiled for a moment, then continued to walk. As she walked out, she passed the light switch. She flipped it down, turning the lights in the room automatically off. The room quickly became dark. Redheart then passed through the door and shut it behind her.

As Fluttershy closed her eyes, sleep quickly began to overtake her mind. It had been a long, tiring day. Right now, Fluttershy deserved this rest.

But this sleep won't be much of a peaceful one...

Author's Note

There you go! Chapter 2! Sorry this took so long to do! Been working on other things. *cough*clopping*cough* :3

Might be a bit stupid and cheesy in many parts, but that's what happens when I'm up at 3:00 a.m. I'll work on them eventually. Also, sorry it's shorter than the first. Wanted to get this finished as quick as possible, but not extremely quick. :3

For now, hope you enjoyed. :D

Edit 7/14/13: Yes, I have changed Thunder's name. However, I'm not sure if it will be official. At the moment, it is changed to Lightning Flash. Let me know if you like it. :3

Time

Fluttershy awoke with a scream that could pierce the heavens. Her head flew up from the pillow, and her eyes were wide open. Once the screaming ceased, the pegasus panted frantically, trying to regain her breath. She hyperventilated frantically, trying to make the horrid dream go away. Once she could breathe normally, she took a look around her, examining her surroundings.

Instead of seeing the dark, cold landscape right outside of town, she saw the dark, warm, moon-lit surroundings of her hospital bedroom. Once she recognized her surroundings, her pulse slowed down, as well as her breathing...But that didn't stop the tears from flowing down her face as the broken pegasus broke down in tears.

It was just a dream. Actually, nightmare would be a better term for it.

Just a nightmare. She was just fine...No...No, she would never be fine. Not after what happened. Not after those stallions took her innocence and burned her image.

After they broke her...Poor...innocent...sweet...Fluttershy...

She would never be the same...Nothing would ever be the same...

Time.

It was something we had to wait for to tell. Sometimes it would pass on too slow, sometimes too fast.

But since the incident with Fluttershy, time had been going slower than any other day. Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt like hours. Hours felt like days. The doctors had announced it would take at least a couple of weeks before Fluttershy was allowed to leave the hospital. Since then, her friends had been taking more care of her than the doctors and nurses. They would keep her company everyday, get her food when she was hungry or a drink when she was thirsty, and they even went to her cottage to help her critters. Most days, Angel was the one who had cleaned up. It was very surprising to everypony. Even the other critters were confused. Everyone knew how Angel was. Stubborn, picky, spoiled; but ever since the incident, he's changed.

Maybe he's doing it for show? Maybe he's actually going to change for the better?

But that doesn't exactly matter. The only matter is what will happen in the coming weeks. Especially a very important part in a rape incident...

Pregnancy.

No one has forgotten that Fluttershy was raped...and that those stallions released their...essence into her. One question was ringing through their minds: Was Fluttershy pregnant?

It was a question that would take time to answer.

Just hours after the incident, some doctors had taken semen samples from Fluttershy, in hoping they could find the perpetrators responsible for this crime. Rape was one of the most serious crimes next to homicide. It usually would come with life in prison without parole or death by hanging. Crime was a very serious matter in Equestria and has been for close to 3 years.

Before harmful crimes sprung to life across Equestria, the only crimes that happened were non-threatening or harmful. Some crimes such as stealing food or cattle often only occurred sometimes every few weeks in some areas of the land. Those who were caught were punished by Celestia with time in the dungeon. However, Celestia had spoken herself that she will hang these men herself, and she won't be afraid to do so. It didn't matter if they were a pony like everyone else. What they did was unforgivable, and their crime would not go unpunished.

But though some were hoping the stallions were caught, others were not so hopeful. Would they find the perpetrators and finally giving them Justice for Fluttershy, or would they never find them?

It was a question that would take time to answer.

Fluttershy felt stupid for two reasons. One, because she had gone out in the middle of the night. Two, because she couldn't remember what the stallions looked like. But it wasn't her fault.

The night she was attacked, the pegasus had a clear view of the three men. They were all three races: A Pegasus, an Earth Pony, and a Unicorn. She also had a clear view of their faces. Now, she can't remember what they looked like. Only a few days into her hospitalization, the doctors explained that the responsible had bruised her head badly, that she had gained temporary amnesia. However, it didn't completely wipe her memory of the night, but just of the faces.

She hated it. She hated them...She hated herself.

However, since it was only temporary amnesia, the doctors said there was a small chance her memory could return, and she might soon remember what they looked like.

Once again, time will tell.

Lightning's POV

Journal entry 25

Fluttershy was allowed to leave the hospital this morning. Thank God and Celestia...But I'm still not allowed to see her. Those fuckers must've messed her up pretty bad to make her be afraid of stallions. Twilight's come over to my house the past few weeks and told me how Shy was. So far, she's doing fine. She's told me Shy's wanted to see me this whole time, but she's afraid of having another panic attack. She, so far, has only six in these three weeks. Don't those doctors get the hint to just stay out?

Anyway, we're still waiting on the DNA tests. Hopefully, we find out who was responsible for this. I don't know why it's taking so damn long! Maybe it's because Equestria isn't as advanced with technology as Earth is. Since they don't have the proper DNA testing technology as Earth hospitals, that must be why it's taking three weeks. If we're lucky, we might get the results within the next few days. Once we do, we'll finally be able to discover who the sons of bitches are. When we do, I'm going to...I don't know what...

I don't get it. Equestria was always such a peaceful place. At least, that's what they portrayed in the show. Everyone was kind, trusting, caring...When did it all go so wrong? What drove ponykind to turn to crime, rape, and murder as a guide? For once, I was happy to live in a world where I didn't see someone get mugged in an alleyway, or see a woman being raped, or a stallion killed in cold blood in broad daylight. I would be allowed to find a special someone without them getting hurt by anyone else...Now Fluttershy was raped...I should've walked with her. I could've stopped those guys. I could've saved her...saved her from all that pain and suffering...

Once I can see her again, I'll never leave her side. Not for a minute.

-Lightning Flash. 4/15/14

After writing the date, I closed the journal and placed it back onto the stand where it originally lay. I then place my hooves behind my head and just lay on the couch, and just do absolutely nothing. If I could, I'd go see Fluttershy, but the Doctors in Equestria are pretty much correct in most cases. MOST cases. I don't want to see my marefriend freaking out because she simply saw me in her line of sight.

...

I breathe a sigh of worry, and mostly, boredom. I can't exactly do much. There hasn't exactly been much to do in Equestria. About 90% of the things on Earth don't even exist here: Television, computers, phones, Ipods. When I go out somewhere, I usually just go see the others. When I started my relationship with Fluttershy, I'd usually go to her house and we'd just kiss and cuddle most of the time. Damn, I really miss that. But at the moment, Fluttershy getting better is more important.

I just came to the conclusion that I was full out of things to do. Then I remembered something: Television might not exist in Equestria, but radios do. I always remember Pinkie having one out during her parties. It would always play a few songs, and during most of her parties, the songs were always the same. It made me question how many songs were actually on the radios these days. Oh, if these ponies could be able to hear the songs humans made...I mean, sure, some songs are pretty bad, but hey, it's better than hearing the same 5 or so songs all the time. I could already see the look on the Cutie Mark Crusaders' faces if they heard Alex S's remix of their song. Heh.

Getting back on track, I recall having a radio stashed up in my closet. However, I never used it much. I would usually use it whenever I was bored or if everyone else was busy. Apparently, it's one of those days, only more serious and worrying.

Trying to ignore the outside situation at the moment, I walked to the stairs and headed upward towards my bedroom. Opening the door, the cool air that came from the open window flowed outward into the hallway, sending chills up my spine, but I simply ignored it. Continuing, I walked into the bedroom towards the closet. Opening the closet door, it didn't take more than 2 seconds to spot the radio, seeing how there's little to nothing in the closet anyhow.

Grabbing it, I close the closet door and set the radio on the drawer next to the bed. Luckily, it wasn't one of those plug-in radios, but instead a battery-required one. Opening the back, two batteries sat perfectly in their destined positions. I closed the back and turned the radio's front back to me. Raising my hoof, I pressed the button that activated the radio and brought it to life. It was the first time I actually even used this radio (as I bought it when I first arrived here, which was long ago), and it still worked. I didn't need to replace the batteries or anything, which was good.

For the first few seconds, it sounded like nothing but static. But once I moved the antenna on it, a song finally came to life on it.

It wasn't more than a second that I turned off the radio in frustration. It was the song. The same damn song that everyone's strangely haven't gotten sick of. This song plays nearly every hour of every day. Technically, it plays 24 times a day, which would lead up to 168 times a week. I've heard this too many times, and I wanted to tear my mane out.

The song that played was the same song that played when the Cutie Mark Crusaders go crusading in that one episode. Y'know, the one where they sing?

I haven't been on Earth in a while. Give me a break.

Picking up the radio, I put it back in its original position in the closet and closed the closet doors. I walked over to my bed and practically jumped into it, upon landing, causing my journal to fling up into the air, landing on the nearby drawer. It wasn't intended, but it saved me from having to pick it up.

...Yeah, I'm quite lazy at times.

Finally back in the warm comfort of my mattress, I slowly began to close my eyes, feeling tired, when suddenly, I heard a sound. But it wasn't loud like "around me" loud. It was "downstairs" loud. And it was muffled. But it didn't take long to notice its source. Sighing in frustration, I immediately trotted out the bedroom and down the stairs to the front door. The knocking occurs once more.

"I'm coming!" I yelled. After a couple seconds, I reached the front door, unlocking and opening it. Standing directly in front of me was once again Twilight Sparkle, as I expected.

"Oh, hey, Twi," I said with her nickname.

"Hey, Lightning," she replied. I quickly stepped aside to allow the princess to walk through.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you: She's a princess also.

"How's it going? ...I'm not bothering you, am I?" she starts.

"No," I reply before adding, "...well, a little. I was just ready to doze off. Didn't expect you to come."

"Sorry. I didn't know," she apologizes, smiling sheepishly. I simply told her that it was nothing to worry about.

Then I ask her how Fluttershy had been doing this week.

"She's doing...better than the past few days. She doesn't really...well, freak out around stallions much anymore."

At that response, a hope rose in me. "Does that mean I can visit her?"

"Well, not exactly," she responds. "She doesn't freak out much, but it means she still freaks. The doctors don't want her being around stallions too much until it's completely safe for her to be in their general vicinity. And...despite her...well, situation, she takes it lightly sometimes. She says it's quite boring being around mares 24/7." Twilight giggles and I chuckle along with her, but I then frown a little, getting my hopes up a little.

It's been so long since I've seen Fluttershy. I just want to see her face again. I want to be able to hold her in my arms, kissing her, telling her everything's okay. And then when I really think about it, it sounds like something in a bad Mary Sue fan fiction. But in the end, it's my reality, and it's something I want-...no...something I need to do.

While lost in thought, Twilight places a hoof on my shoulder, knowing what I was going through at the moment. I looked up to her face, and she wore a faint smile. It wasn't a big one, but it did give me a sign of hope.

"Don't worry...She's going to be okay. She'll make it through this. And when she does, we're going to find the ponies who did this to her and teach them a lesson...okay?"

For the few seconds after she spoke, I focused mostly on when she said "the ponies who did this." It made me angry inside. The bastards responsible didn't deserve the right to breathe the same air we do. At first, I had the thought of possibly going after them, feeling like one of those bad ass main characters in the movies, but I realized that I had no expertise in tracking down criminals, even if their IDs were discovered. I decided to leave that to the police of Equestria. I said to myself that Fluttershy would want me here in Ponyville.

Externally, I smiled to Twilight, quickly getting rid of the thoughts that plagued my mind.

"Alright," I simply said to her, and upon saying that, Twilight smiled back.

For a few hours, we simply sat in the living room, doing nothing but talk most of the time, either telling jokes or just talking about random topics. For the first time in weeks, things felt somewhat normal. I didn't feel worry or sadness or anger. I felt...

...happy.

It neared seven o'clock, and by now, Celestia's solar ball of light began to disappear below the horizon, generating one of the most beautiful sunsets ever seen, in Twilight's opinion, several years. Time continued to pass on until it was then eight o'clock. Knowing how late it already was---though I didn't exactly count it as late---Twilight explained that she had to leave, needing to get ready for an important meeting with the Gryphon President up in Canterlot tomorrow.

Sadly, I had to wave and hug my goodbyes to her, wishing her good luck with her meeting. She does the same and promises to visit again tomorrow to hang out some more.

But then again, she couldn't fully promise it. I could completely understand it, her being a princess and all.

I'm just glad I'm not in her hooves...

Twilight hugs her goodbyes to Lightning before turning around and walking to the door. Twisting the knob, she successfully pulls the door open, waving one last goodbye to Lightning before passing to the outside, shutting the door securely behind her. She now had a good view of the not-so-distant Ponyville. By not-so-distant, meaning Lightning's house was around the same range from Ponyville as was Fluttershy's.

Twilight pondered on that sudden thought. For a second, it felt funny, but the laughter went away, knowing it wasn't exactly funny to begin with.

For a moment, she was ready to unfurl her wings to be ready to fly back home to lessen the travel time, but she then realized that though she had wings for several months now, she still didn't have the ability to fly properly, as most times, she would normally fall on her face. So she kept her wings to her side, ready to walk.

Twilight, like Fluttershy, liked taking peaceful walks like these. It would always help her stay calm, despite her status as princess, which was usually stressful. The paperwork, the meetings...the paperwork.

But still, since she was still technically a beginner princess, she wasn't given the amount of work that Princesses Celesta, Luna, and Cadence were given. She was given simple tasks, tasks that would only become a bit more challenging over time.

But no matter what, for any challenges, Twilight would always be ready.

"Help! I need help!"

...Well, almost ready.

Taken completely by surprise, a Pegasus jumped out in front of her, startling the Alicorn.

"Please, I need help! It's my friend! He's been hurt!"

Just as quickly as he appeared, the Pegasus turned back into the direction he came, motioning to Twilight to follow him. Almost immediately, Twilight followed him, knowing that she wasn't going to turn down somepony in desperate need.

For about a minute, she followed the Pegasus, getting ever closer to the Everfree Forest. She wondered why in the world they were hanging out in the forest in the first place, but that was something to be discussed later when this pony was saved.

It didn't take long to reach the location where the supposed injured stallion had been. However, when she arrived, the pony was nowhere to be seen. She had to double check to be sure he wasn't camouflaged with the environment around her. But she double checked, even triple checked, but the stallion was nowhere.

Twilight turned around to ask the stallion where his friend was, but before she could get the words out of her mouth, she felt a mass pain on the side of her head, only lasting for a few short moments.

She felt herself fall to the ground, the pain flowing through her body.

Then the world around her went dark...quiet...and still.

Author's Note

Now, I know what you're probably going to ask: Why haven't you updated for so long?

Well, two things: Writer's Block and State of Decay.

Writers Block: Every time I want to work on a story chapter, I just seem to stop, open up a new tab, go onto Youtube, and watch vids or listen to music. Or go look up some pone 34 and clop away. :D

State of Decay: I've been playing the game ever since I bought it. I played the game for over 3 weeks and successfully cleaned out the entire map of supplies. Now all I have to do is wait for everything to run out. Once that happens, morale will go down, people will starve, and we will all die. Don't say I could use a garden for food. No materials. :p

So yeah.

Also, I've been working on a story on The Last of Us. Spoilers: Joel's dead. I have a fan character in it who has sex with Ellie.

inb4 Chris Hanson.

What you just read above was the author's note from July, last year, in 2013. Yeah, I've been working on this since then. Again, writer's block.

This is the only time that Lightning will get his spotlight as a "main character" in this story, because I want this to be about not just Fluttershy and Lightning, but everyone who is affected by the incident and/or will become affected (AKA Twilight).
