The End

Chapter 5

Fluttershy was worried, Electro’s practice should’ve been over a few hours ago, and he’s nowhere to be seen. “Oh my oh my!” She said quickly to herself, pacing in her cottage. “He’s late... M-Maybe I should check on him...” She pondered this thought until the minutes turned to hours and she was certain something must be wrong, she decided to go check on him. She flied slowly to Octavia’s house, slowly walking over to the window, peeking in through the corner.

What she saw completely baffled her, she saw the two instruments on the ground. Scanning the rest of the room she finally spotted something that festered in the back of her mind since she had spoken the words “I-I had loved you...” Her eyes filling with tears as those words escaped her trembling lips. she flew home as fast as she could, collapsing on the couch the image from the cottage burned to the insides of her eyelids, making her see the terrible occurrence over and over.
“E-Electro...” She said, still unable to comprehend the reasoning behind Electro’s intimacy with another mare, it made her insides burn as she felt something she’d rarely felt for any living being. Hate. She slowly sat up on her couch, her eyes stinging from the tears filling them as sobs wracked her body, making her shake on the couch, her own hooves wrapping around her in the only form of comfort she had.

Electro woke up with a start on top of Octavia, noticing her violet eyes shut in sleep, her hooves around his shoulders and his hooves on her hips “How long was I out...?” He quietly asked himself, getting off Octavia and looking outside “Oh no, I’m late for my date with Flutters!” He quickly rushed out into the cool refreshing night, his wings spreading as he takes flight, the cool night breeze causing his mane to flap behind him.

He arrived at the cottage to find it completely dark and ominous “F-Flutters?” He asked through the door, his hoof banging on the hard wooden door with a little bit too much force than needed, no reply coming from the door, he decided to check on the window, finding the curtains drawn, but a small sliver still visible. He looked through the window and the scene before him made him go pale, his cheeks drained of all color.
He saw Fluttershy. Her hooves slightly hanging above the ground, swaying slightly. He runs to the door and runs into it shoulder down, breaking the hinges and putting the door to the ground, flying up to Fluttershy and lifting her up, his hooves trembling as he set the still body on the floor. “F-Fluttershy...” He put a hoof to her chest, feeling a slight beat in her chest, “I-I can still save you...” He picks her up, her limp body being heavier than he anticipated, flying as fast as he burden would allow him to the Ponyville hospital, reliving her to the doctor’s and sitting in the waiting room, the weight of his entire guilt crushing on his heart and mind, making him consider the same method Fluttershy had tried.

He was allowed entry to her room after she was stabilized, a breathing mask covering her muzzle, a hospital gown covering her front as she lay there, breathing quietly and her eyes closed. “I-I’m so sorry Flutters...” He quietly said, walking over beside her bed and taking her hoof in his, squeezing hers gently.
“I love you Flutters...” Thinking his words fell upon deaf ears he silently let tears roll down his coat, he is surprised to feel her squeeze back, a few rough words filling the room from her mask “E-Elec-ctro...” she gasped, her voice sounding rough and scratchy, “I-I Lo-ove you t-too...” Her baby blue eyes opened, staring into his eyes. “B-But... I-I g-guess I’m not enough for you...” “N-No! I love you Flutters! and you’re the only mare I need! I-I’ll stop going to my practices, I’ll check on you every hour! I promise I’ll do anything as long as you let me be with you...” “E-Elec-ctro...” “Just... Please Fluttershy” His tears slowly reaching her hoof. “A-Alr-right...” her eyes are filled with tears as he kisses her hoof, the rest of the night playing in silence.
