(Location:Fluttershys home. Time:Sometime in the early morning.)
Fluttershy, smiled happily she could feel something warm pressed against her back. She then pressed herself further into the body; she could feel an arm slowly wrap around her stomach, followed by a warm breath slowly moving across the back of her neck. Which made her body shiver slightly; as her smile grew wider. She then felt something nuzzle the side of her head; followed by a sensation she could never forget, a set of lips gently kissing her cheek. This was starting to become a normal morning routine for her and Discord. He would always make her feel so happy, so warm, so safe, so...loved. She then released a small barely audible sigh; just as her body started to relax once again.
"Good morning, Discord." She said.
She then heard a small sniffle come from behind her; before she was pulled into a tighter hug, "I'm sorry, Shy." She heard a female voice reply; which caused her eyes to go wide, until...she finally remembered what had happened the day before. "I'm not, Discord." The voice continued just barely above a whisper. She recognized the voice as her friend, Pinkie pie. The tears started to fall from her eyes once again; before she felt her friend nuzzle the back of her head. Which allowed her to feel the very cold, wet tears. Which fell from her friends eyes. "No." Fluttershy choked out, "It can't be true. It can't." She said as her voice started to crack.
"Please, Fluttershy." Pinkie begged as she nuzzled her friend, "No more tears. Please." She continued as her friend took in a small breath of air.
"Pinkie." Fluttershy said in a voice which had an icy calm tone; which made the room feel so very cold, so cold. One could say that ice cubes could be made in the room, "Can you and Rainbow dash." She then went silently for a few short seconds; which added more fuel to the burning fire, "Please leave." She continued.
"But...Shy." Pinkie argued.
"Pinkie...Please." Fluttershy begged in a voice filled with nothing but hurt, "I need to be alone. Please, just grant me this." She continued.
Although, Pinkie was against leaving her friend alone; she knew that it was also the best thing to do. Her friend needed time to grieve on her own; not only to get all her emotions out, but to also slowly heal from the loss. She felt her friend give her one last kiss on the side of her cheek; followed by her friend removing the straps that kept her bound to the bed. Slowly, Pinkie made her way to the door; slowly opening the door. Just before she turned back and looked at her friend; who had already curled herself into a ball, "We're here for you, shy." She said in a voice just above a whisper. "Although; none of us are like Discord...we love you, just as much." She continued before exiting the room and closing the door.
Fluttershy released a small sniffle as she layed there on her bed. The memories from time before flooded back into her mind; which caused her tears to fall from her eyes. She remembered when Discord helped her feed her animals'. Watching him as he feed one of the new fawns that had been born; he was gently running his lion paw down the back of its neck, as he fed it a bottle of its mother milk. The reason why it was being bottle fed was because it mother had come down with something. She couldn't help but smile happily as the fawn drank its meal; it caused a few happy tears to fall from her eyes, just as another memory pushed its way forward into her mind. It was the time he took her dancing out onto the Ponyville lake. He had cast a spell on her which allowed her to walk on water; which allowed her to dance on the lake with him. She remembered the wonderful music that played around them. It was a slow song; which meant they had to dance slow, and it also allowed them to hold each other close. The memory made her cry harder. She wanted him back by her side; she wanted him to hold her, to whisper his sweet words into her ear. To tell her how much...he loved her.
"I HOPE YOU DIE!"
Fluttershy, sat up immediately while releasing a loud gasp. There she was just grieving in silence; only to suddenly have someone shout, and it was no normal shout. It was distorted and echoed; almost like that of a ghosts, or somepony with a bad communication spell. "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE. CELESTIA, ISN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO NEEDS YOU!" She started to rapidly search the room around her; wondering where the voice was coming from. Her breathing was rapid; her mind was racing, and she was sweating buckets. That was when she remembered what took place; just hours before his death, "No." She choked out as she remembered...the fight they the two had.
(Thirty-one hours earlier!)
"I don't know why you are angry my dear." Discord said as he watched his mare-friend, Fluttershy. Pace back and forth in front of him, "You know I."
"I know what responsibility you have!" Fluttershy snapped as she shot him a glare; filled with nothing but anger, "But have you forgotten about another responsibility you have? Or am I just easy to forget?" She continued.
Discord shot her a look of complete confusion. "Darling." He said.
"Don't darling me!" Fluttershy shouted.
Discord then shook his head in annoyance, "Dear, then. Why are you getting angry; you know my magic."
"Has helped a lot of ponies in different countries! I know! But, can it help with our relationship? Because I'm starting to think that loving you was wrong!" Fluttershy shouted which caused him to gasp loudly.
"You Think loving me is wrong?" He asked now starting to have anger poison his mind.
"As of now, yes!" Fluttershy shouted which caused him to growl loudly.
"Then how about I just leave!" He roared.
"You mean like you always do! Just go ahead and leave; go do whatever you want, but don't expect my door to be open!" She shouted as he opened her door.
"Good-bye to you too, my dear!" He hissed out before he started to close the door.
"I HOPE YOU DIE!" Fluttershy screamed just as he slammed the door closed.
(Present time)
"I didn't mean it, Discord." Fluttershy whimpered out; her voice was so fragile, one could say. That a butterfly's wing could break it. "I'm so sorry...Discord." She then released a loud sob; wishing that he was there with her right now, "I love you." She whispered; cursing herself for her stupidity and her anger. She then started to hum a small tune to a song she knew. Hoping that it would help feel a little closer to him.
(I love you)
Fluttershy is shown lying there on her bed. Looking directly up at the ceiling; as the tears fell from her eyes.
(I miss you so much my darling. Which shouldn't sound so alarming.)
She then closed her eyes; imagining that he was lying right there beside her. While he ran his paw threw her mane.
(You were the who was always there for me. I can still feel your touch in my dreams.)
She then slowly opened her eyes; as she tried to hold down a cry.
(I feel like there is a hole in my heart. As I feel my body being torn apart.)
She then slowly got up from her bed; only to slowly walk towards the bathroom, a few tears falling down from her face and onto the floor.
(I feel my tears running down my face. God, I must look like a disgrace.)
Once inside the bathroom; it allowed her to see her image. She looked ugly; her eyes were red and puffy, her mane was like a twisted mess.
(I feel like I want to slit my wrist. As I ball my hands into a fist. Why did you take him from me?)
She then punched her hoof into the glass mirror; shattering to bits and shards, causing a small amount of blood to fall from her hoof.
(Don't you know me and him were meant to be. I wish you were still here by my side. So that I no longer have a reason to cry.)
She then started to bandage her hoof; removing the small glass shards from it, releasing a few small gasps. As a small amount of pain came from her hoof.
(I wish I can tell you...how much I love you.)
In a matter of minutes; she had finished bandaging her hoof. Feeling a small sting of pain come from her hoof; simply because of the peroxide she had put on it.
((I planned to spend the rest of my life with you. I didn't expect my dream to end so soon. You were my true soul mate. But you were taken from me; by the cruel fates. I want you back in my life; because I wished to be called your wife. I love you so much my love. Now I ask...just keep watch over me from above.))
She then shook her head in anger; as she walked down stairs, limping the entire way down.
(I remember the night that we both danced. That was when I decided to take a chance.)
Once down in the living room; she walked towards one of her side tables'. Slowly she opened the drawer; only to pull out a strange purple bottle with a cork on top of it.
(When I pressed my lips against yours. It made me just want you more. Because you were the only one that I adored.)
Immediately she removed the cork from the top; only to slowly tip it over her injured hoof. Causing a large amount of crystal clear liquid to pour onto it. Allowing it to quickly heal in a matter of seconds.
(that was the night when my flame ignited. That was when I became so excited. I remember how warm you were. I almost fell asleep on the dance floor.)
She then removed the bandages from her hoof. Only to place the bottle back into the drawer.
(I felt so safe in your embrace. as we both danced with such grace. My only wish that on that night. I should have told you...how much I love you.)
She then walked outside onto her porch; feeling the warm suns rays on her body, but it did little to make her feel better.
((You were more than just my friend. You were always by my side till the end. My heart wants you back; this is its' demand. It wants you back from the damned. I want to go dig you up from your gave. Because to me; you can still be saved. I love you so much my love. Now I ask...just keep watch over me from above.))
She could hear the birds whistling there merry tune. But that didn't even cheer her up.
(I remember the last words I said to you, my dear. They were full of hate and rage; which is what I fear. I screamed at you "I HOPE YOU DIE!" but now I want you back alive.)
She then remembered how Discord; would sit here with her. Nuzzling her gently as he kissed her forehead.
(I know my tears can't bring you back. Forgive my words...because my voice...I...is star...starting to crack.)
Her tears started to fall again; but this time she felt two arms suddenly wrap around her. Her body jumped slightly at the sudden embrace; when she look behind her, she saw Rainbow dash behind her. With tears of her own falling from her eyes.
(I wish that I can go back in time. That way I can stop my evil crime. I want you back right now my love. Can you hear my prayer from so far above.)
Fluttershy, turned around and hugged her friend back. Wishing that she would stop crying; simply because she hated seeing her friends cry.
(I just wish I could have. I know that my next words should have. Now all I can do is wonder what would've. Happened! if...i...just...told...you...how much...i...love you./end of song.)
"Please."Fluttershy begged as she hugged her friend tighter, "Don't let me go, Rainbow." She choked out; she need this, badly.
"I won't, Shy." Rainbow replied as she started to gently rub her friends back; trying her best to help calm her friend down, "I promise." She continued in a voice just barely above a whisper.
