It's the 15th August and I just wake up. I stretch myself and think what I could to with this summer day. The weather was really nice.
I didn't have a better idea than flying over to Fluttershy. We sat on a swing and talked. She pets her rabbit, Angel, while talking with her gentle quiet voice. I randomly see a clock and realize, it's 12:30 pm.
The sun is right above us, as if we are the middle of the universe, and the heat makes me feel ill.
"But... You know, Rainbow Dash, I kind of... hate the summer..." Fluttershy murmurs. Just when I turn my head to look at her, she stands up to catch Angel because he jumps away.
After she walked a few steps I stand up too and want to help her then I suddenly see the red traffic light on the street she was walking on.
I want to yell and help her but I can't move and out of nothing I only hear a loud truck coming.
The next thing I see is Fluttershy under it and the truck just drives away while I scream. I fall to the ground and want to look away from all the blood on the street and on her soft and nice yellow pullover. But I couldn't.
I begin to sob when I feel like the sun and the hot air is laughing at me and reminds me, that this wasn't a joke. When the blood reaches me, I suddenly just black out.
I come back to my senses on the same cloud I was sleeping on and I hear the clock's bells. 12:30 pm.
I fly down to earth and ask the people which date we have. The 15th August.
What is happening?
I go to Fluttershy and think it was all just a bad dream. She talks and has Angel in her arms. I just listen to her and try to forget the mental picture of her face covered with her blood. It's weird that we were on the same swings, in the same park again.
Angel jumps away and Fluttershy stands up to catch the rabbit but without noticing I grab her hand and say, "Let's go to your home. Angel will come later anyway."
She nods a bit confused and I pull her right behind me. I try to avoid the streets and wonder why the people around us are looking up with wide open mouths and eyes.
When I turn around to my friend, a falling metal pole drills right through her body. She shrieks, her sound is echoing everywhere and my ears start to hurt. I feel like the sun and the hot air is laughing at me and reminds me, that this wasn't a joke.
Just when I'm about to faint, I could swear I saw her smiling a bit.
I wake up again on the same cloud, on the same date, at the same time. I fly to Fluttershy and take her away from town, but she accidently lets go of my hand and falls down the stairs.
And again the same date and time. I hold Angel so he can't jump away, but just when I blink, something falls down from the sky and hits her.
Every time something happens to her.
All the time, again and again.
What a horrible world that is. What unfair cruelty. Why doesn't anyone notice?
It feels like this summer day is repeating now for 10 or 20 or 30 years. I can see clocks in front of me and many of them aren't moving anymore and covered in blood. No, all of them are. I look at the only clock that's still moving and sigh.
"Fate wants somebody dead? Okay, Fate, you'll get somebody dead."
The next time I wake up, the same thing happens like the first time.
Fluttershy and I talk, Angel jumps away and she stands up to catch her.
When I hear the truck, I push my best friend away and feel the wheels rolling over me. I see my blood reflecting her shocked crying face and I can hear her screaming. It hurts. It hurts so much. But if Fluttershy can live, it's worth it.
A pretty normal summer day finally ended for me.
On the 14th August, around 12:30 pm, I woke up in my bed. I hug Angel and cry quietly.
"I couldn't do it..." I almost whisper. "It just didn't work again..."
