Fluttershy was devastated.

Typically, she was only devastated when one of the squirrel baby orphans she raised started a meth lab (which was surprisingly common) or if one of her friends suffered some minor injury, such as last week, when Rainbow Dash sprained her wing trying to achieve a Double Fantastico Sonic Rainboom. But Fluttershy barely ever felt any concern for herself because nopony in Equestria would hurt someone as gentle and sweet as the pegasus.

Then again, her problem wasn't from Equestria.

She curled into a little ball and whinnied, her little filly-self writhing with bizarre and unpredictable emotions. She couldn't believe that it had happened. It couldn't have. It was impossible. Nothing that horrible could've happened ever to her or anyone.

Still…

She had to tell somepony. If she didn't, he could do it again, maybe to a younger pony. Apple Bloom's face dashed past her closed eyelids.

It was decided.

She needed to tell Twilight Sparkle.
