My earliest memory...

That's a very hard question. I've been alive for how long now? My old age catches itself up in my memories; seeing as it cant affect my appearance. Hmmm... If I think back, it would probably when I first met Princess Platinum, Chancellor Puddinghead, and Commander Hurricane. They all huddled over me in awe, seeing as I had both wings and a horn. The Chancellor jumped up in surprise at my looks, exclaiming to the heavens how I was "the prophecy"... whatever that meant. Princess was admiring my qualities, before noticing I was slightly dirty, then she backed away, causing me to frown. Commander seemed like only the normal one, well, if calling my horn and wings "cool", was normal, before zipping off somewhere, leaving a faint trail of dust.

I liked them; they became my first real family. The Commander and the Princess both taught me about my skills, such as flying and magic, while the Chancellor taught me about personifications, what it meant to be a personification, what my duties were, why I had our nation flag on my flank, and he introduced me to new personifications that came over time... I have no idea how he got all that knowledge.

My life was peaceful back then...My people would get a wonderful harvest every year, and we would barley, to none, wars. I even met my future Princess, Celestia! She was really cute, she had light pink hair, a white coat, and the most adorable purple eyes ever! Not long after, I met Princess Luna, and she was adorable just the same! We all grew up together, both princesses knowing how I was a personification, and how they couldn't die either.

When everything else wilted away and died, we stayed the same, slowly growing, taking about 50 years to look 5 years older. But we always had each other, and I also had the other personifications; especially the draconequus, and The Crystal Empire. We were all best friends, all of our citizens got along well, and we would each help each other through disasters. We even decided to get nicknames!

Draconequus was Discord, Crystal Empire was Pinkie pie, and I became Fluttershy, we were so happy with our new names, that we taken it to a habit to call each other these names.

Everything was fine...

Until Discord snapped.

I was in agony, my body hurted all over as my citizens screamed, and ran for there life from Draconequus and his king. Pinkie tried to help me, but she was powerless against the Draconequus, all she could do was sing to me, and comfort me as I screamed.

It wasn't until a week later that my body stopped hurting, and that was only because of a simple reason; Draconequus had been turned to stone.

I sat in front of his frozen body; and tears surrounded my body. All I could do was cry and grieve for my once alive friend.

"Fluttershy?" I turned my head around slightly, to glance at empire, her coat still looked plain , and her mane was flat; meaning she was sad.

"What?" I asked silently, turning my attention back to the ground. I heard her hoof steps walk forward; then I felt a light hoof on my shoulder.

"Im sorry." She whispered, grabbing me into a hug; I buried my face in her chest, letting all the tears out.

Why did this happen? I remember thinking to myself Not even a week ago we were playing around and laughing. I cried myself to sleep in Empire's arms.

- Future_

About a month later Empire Disappeared; I don't know how, but before she vanished, she was dealing with a tyrant named Sombra, and right after she defeated him; she disappeared; I couldn't find her, Heck, I couldn't find the COUNTRY! I was alone; and whenever I made friends, I would watch them die, while I was the only one left.

I couldn't take it anymore; so, I asked Celestia for a break. She agreed, she actually agreed! She told me to come in immediately If anything was happening to the country, and that she would send my paperwork. I was free!

Using my magic; I created a façade, I made an image on myself so I would only have wings, and so I would be a blank flank. I smiled as I left the castle, free of my duties.

_Almost present time_

I flew mostly across equestria, taking pit stops occasionally, and you know what? I enjoyed myself! I had gotten to hang out with my states that didn't include political work; and I have so many pictures, oh so many! I swear, I could start a photo shop with how many I collected; I even went under a fake name; Fluttershy. My nickname.

Acting the part, I didn't really talk much to people I didn't know, whispering my name, and not speaking more than a whisper, and it wasn't until I walked into a quiet little town; ponyvill, that I actually spoke up.

Because, in the first time in forever, I say her again; I saw Empire.

Empire still had her poofy pink mane, and her pink coat, except, she wasn't crystal, nor did she have her cutie mark, her nation's flag. But I was happy all the same, even more so when she zipped over to me, and started greeting me.

"Hi! My name is Pinkie! What's your name? Where are you from? Your cutie mark is animals, do you like animals? How old are you? Do you want to be my friend?" My mind was spinning with all the questions she asked, but I smiled none the less.

"Fluttershy, Canterlot, yes, 17*, and I think we already are" I smiled at her, and she smiled hugely back. until she stopped and frowned, moving closer to my face, she asked a simple question; but this question broke my heart.

"Did we meet each other before? You seem familure, but I cant place it..." Her eyes squinted, and my smile immediately dropped.

Why couldn't she remember?

* I picked a human age for Fluttershy, and I hope you enjoyed, there is more to come!
