Fluttershy and Me: Remastered

It took about one week for me to explain everything there was to explain about being human to Fluttershy, and for her to understand it.  I had to explain how her body worked and all that nonsense.  Helping her get used to her new body was pretty simple.  Learning to walk was easy, and teaching her to use her arms and legs properly wasn’t too difficult.  After that one week, plus about two days, Fluttershy knew everything about being human.

Which brings me to the Saturday night after that one week had finished (she changed on a Thursday, hence the plus two days).  That Saturday, I had arrived home from a little competition with Rainbow Dash.  She wanted to see if she could beat me in a race through the Everfree Forest if I used my wings and parkour skills against her amazing speed.  I almost actually beat her, but she obviously won.

When I got home, I was greeted by Fluttershy.  She gave me a kiss.  It wasn’t too late, but I was ready to go to bed.  That race tired me out a bit.  But Fluttershy had an important question to ask.

“So, um, Matthew, now that I know everything I need to know about being human, could we…” she stopped herself, her face completely red from her blushing so much.  I took a moment to think and then it hit me.  I gave her a little smirk.

“Yes, yes we can,” I answered.  She didn’t need to finish the question.  She smiled back to me, grabbed my arm, and took me into the bedroom.  You can imagine what followed.  No, I’m not writing about the sex I had with Fluttershy.  I’ll just tell you we had sex.  If you really want to know, I’ll just say that Fluttershy is amazing and leave it at that.  For it being both her first time in general and her first time as a human, she was incredible.  Now stop being perverted.

So yeah, after that, life was just amazing.  Fluttershy and I were both happy with how our relationship was going, our friends were doing great, and nothing bad was happening.  I had actually started to plan when I would ask Fluttershy to marry me, I just needed a bit of time to figure everything out.  But, as always, nothing in this world is really perfect.  It all comes to an end eventually.  You’re probably thinking the relationship ended.  Far from it, but it almost did, because I almost died.

It was one year after Fluttershy had become a human.  Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and I were out for a run in the Everfree Forest.  Rainbow wanted to see how well Fluttershy could fly in the Everfree as a human.  Fluttershy never really did fly through it as a pony, but Rainbow just wanted to see.  Fluttershy flew great as a human, but this was a challenge, one that she actually kind of accepted.  I was quite surprised.  I, however, wanted to try to do a parkour run without the use of my wings.  I often used them to my advantage when I went out for parkour runs, but not this time.

We were pretty deep into the forest, but not so deep that we would get lost.  I was on a role, not using my wings once.  Fluttershy was keeping up pretty well, and Rainbow led us through the forest.  Rainbow took a moment to let us catch up a bit.  I was going at a good pace, but not as fast as I could.  I wanted to stay near Fluttershy.

“Come on slow pokes.  Fluttershy, I know you can go faster, stop slowing down Matt,” Rainbow said.

“Calm yourself Dash, let her go at her own pace.  I’m fine with it, so just chill.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, it’s just that the extra weight of my human body sometimes slows me down.  You can go ahead, I won’t mind.”

“No, Fluttershy, we’re staying together.  Right Rainbow Dash?” I asked her, looking at her and raising an eyebrow.

Rainbow moaned a bit.  “Fine, we can slow down.  Sorry Fluttershy.”

“No need to apologize Rainbow.”  We continued on at a slower pace, but not incredibly slow.  I took a moment to look at a particularly tall tree.  Rainbow turned around and looked up.  Shortly after, Fluttershy did the same.  We all looked at each other and agreed to ascend the tree.  I climbed while Rainbow and Fluttershy flew up.  Once at the top, I felt like I was at having an Assassin’s Creed moment.  I looked below for a pile of leaves or something that I could do a Leap of Faith into, but there weren’t any to be found.

I looked over the horizon to see what appeared to be a large storm cloud.  It didn’t seem to be moving too fast, but I knew we should probably get out of the forest soon.

“Hey, I think we should head back now.  That storm doesn’t look too good.  I thought you said clear skies all day Dash?”

“I thought so.  I guess the weather team decided otherwise.  No biggie though, it’s moving too slow to affect us,” Rainbow said, not really phased by the obviously huge storm approaching.

“Matthew’s right Rainbow.  If we get caught in that while in the forest, we could get hurt,” Fluttershy said, backing up what I believed.  We both looked at Rainbow, who once again let out a moan.

“Fine, fine, we can head back.  But you still can’t use those wings Matt,” she said, assuring that I was still challenging myself.

“Hey, I said I wouldn’t use them, and I’m not gonna.  Let’s go,” I said, starting to descend the tree.  I had to get down the old fashioned way but climbing down to a better level.  At that point, I started to parkour my way back home with Fluttershy and Rainbow following behind me.  But, about two minutes after we descended the tree, we heard a loud boom from the clouds, which had somehow moved directly over us.

“How the hell did they move that fast?  They were nowhere near us a few minutes ago,” I said, taken back by how quickly the huge clouds had moved.  Rainbow shrugged and gestured for us to move a bit quicker.  I couldn’t disagree now.

As we started off again though, the rain started to pour down on us.  It was pretty heavy actually, affecting how I well I was able to parkour through the forest.

“This really sucks!  We need to get out of the forest now!” I shouted under the rain.  Rainbow and Fluttershy nodded to me, and we started moving at a much faster pace.  Fluttershy managed to keep up with Rainbow and me.  I was running through the trees like they were nothing, and Rainbow swerved through like butter.  Fluttershy was fine, able to keep up with us both with no trouble, like I said.

But, then the lightning started to come down.  The first bolt struck a tree a few yards away from us.  We were all shocked, looking from one another back to the spot where the lightning had just struck.  With one last look, we bolted off as fast as we could to get out of there.  I heard one more crack of lightning hit a tree behind us.  Now I was worried.  Fluttershy and Rainbow had a good bit of ground on me, seeing as though they were flying and I was running through the trees.  I knew well enough that it wasn’t smart, but I didn’t care.  Although, now, after what happened moments later, I don’t think I’ll ever parkour in a storm again.

I landed on a pretty thick branch, obviously thick enough to hold me up, but not too thick that it would hold forever.  Well, it was just my luck that a bolt of lightning struck the branch at the spot where it connected to the tree.  I was taken by surprise by it, losing my balance.  Fluttershy and Rainbow looked back, and I could see that they were scared now.  I tried to keep going, to get off of the tree.  But before I knew it, the branch snapped, and I fell.

I fell a good few feet, maybe about the height of an average sized house.  The branch was falling close to me.  I was too scared to either push it, or open my wings.  Well, by some stroke of bad luck, the branch landed vertically, pointing up into the air.  It stayed that way long enough for me to land on it.  You can imagine what comes next.

I landed straight on the branch.  I landed with enough force to lodge the branch straight through the right side of my chest.  That branch passed straight through, with enough force that it even hurt my right wing.  The pain was unbearable.  I wanted to scream, but couldn’t.  There was a branch lodged straight in the right side of my chest.  I could feel the blood seeping out of the hole, and the branch was too thick for me to pull out.  I gasped for air, coughing up blood all the while.  I managed to speak.

“Fluttershy, wait,” I said, my voice barely audible.  I didn’t need to say it loud though, they had both seen what had just happened.  They flew straight to me.

“MATTHEW!  OH SWEET CELESTIA, PLEASE DON’T DIE!  PLEASE!” Fluttershy screamed out, her voice filled with fear, and her eyes full of tears.  Rainbow wasn’t doing so well either.  She was in total shock, but she knew what had to be done.

“Fluttershy, we’ve gotta pull this branch out!  We can’t leave it in him, it’ll make things worse!” I could hear Rainbow saying.  Their voices were a little muffled by the rain.  I saw Fluttershy give a nod, knowing that it had to be done.

They gripped the branch, which sent a tingle through my body.  I felt so much pain.  They started pulling, which made it worse.  They decided not to sugar coat anything and just pulled the damn thing straight out with one great force.  I screamed out in immense pain, and turned onto my back.  Blood was gushing out of the hole in my chest.  Everything started to go dark as I gasped for air.  Rain was pouring on my face.  I looked into Fluttershy’s eyes for what I thought would be the last time.  This was how I was going to go out.  Done in by a fucking tree branch.  I gathered enough strength to lift my hand to Fluttershy’s face, which was filled with tears at this point.  With my last breath, I uttered one phrase.

“I love you,” was all I could say.  My eyes started to close, and I could still hear Fluttershy screaming.

“NO!  MATTHEW, PLEASE NO!” she screamed.  My hand fell to the ground, and my eyes closed completely.  Although it was a lot earlier than I wanted, I was able to accept it, to accept death.  I fell into the endless slumber of death, thinking about Fluttershy until my last moment.

‘Goodbye, Fluttershy… my love.’
