Chapter 11

Macintosh was sitting at his usual table when he was approached by his friends. "What has he been telling you?" Neon asked. "Excuse me?" Macintosh asked. "Caramel, what has he been telling you?" he asked. "Nothin', at least nothin' ah took to heart." he said. "And that is a good answer." Neon said. "Hey, screw both you guys. I give kickass advice." Caramel said. "You mean advice that will get your ass kicked?" Neon asked. "Guys look, ya both been real helpful in mah relationship." Macintosh said. "Damn straight, and I gotta say your girlfriend is cute." Caramel said. "Should've seen him checking her out." Neon said, Macintosh looked at Caramel. "I'm just saying I'd hit that." Caramel said, having Macintosh give him dirty looks. "Wow." Neon said shaking his head. "No, bro, listen. I wouldn't hit that. In fact she's ugly, way too damn ugly for me." Caramel said. "Caramel, I'd shut up before you start growing more feet to put in your mouth, or Mac's fist." Neon said. "I'd second that." Mac said.

Fluttershy was in the girl's room...going. Two girls walked having a conversation and normally Fluttershy wouldn't listen to other people's conversations, but something about this one caught her attention. "You hear about Macintosh?" one of the girls asked. "No, what about him?" the other asked. "I hear he's got himself a girlfriend." the first one said. "What, who's dating him?" the second one asked. "I hear it that girl Fluttershy." the first one said. "Why would he waste his time with someone like her?" the second one asked. "Don't know. She lucky though." the first one said wistfully. "Lucky? She's probably gonna whore herself out and once she's done with him she's gonna move on to the next guy." the second one said. "Yeah, maybe." the first one said. "She's not good enough for him." the second one said.

With that they walked out, Fluttershy on the other hand was starting to tear up. 'Mac wouldn't think about me like that right?' she thought. Once she calm down she went back to the cafeteria, she saw Macintosh with his friends. He saw her and waved over to her. She sheepishly waved back and went back to her friends. "Fluttershy, you alright?" Twilight asked. "Am I...am I not good enough for Macintosh?" she asked. "Of course ya are. Why would ya think ya weren't?" Applejack asked. "I don't know, I just think he doesn't want me as a girlfriend." Fluttershy said. Applejack got up and walked over to her brother. "Applejack, please don't!" Fluttershy pleaded. "Ah'm just gonna talk to him." she said.

"Hey Applejack." Caramel said as she approached. "Seriously? I'm not sure why Harvest keeps you around at all or us." Neon said. "Ah ain't here for ya dipshit, ah'm here for mah brother." she said. "Your loss." Caramel said. "What is it AJ?" Macintosh asked. "Fluttershy thinks ya don't want her as a girlfriend." she said. "Why would she think that?" he asked. "Ah don't know, she just does." Applejack said. "You know, I did hear a few girls talking about Mac and Fluttershy." Neon said. "What did they said?" Macintosh asked. "I think the said that she's wasn't good enough for you or it's just an act or something like." he said. "Pfft, just jealous that they didn't get to him first." Caramel said. "I'll talk to her on the way home." Mac said to Applejack. "Ya better." she said walking away. "Are you sure that's what ya heard?" Macintosh asked Neon. "A bit. I wasn't paying attention, but if I heard something about it then Fluttershy might have." Neon said. "I can't believe the things people say about guy's girlfriends." Caramel said. "Really?" Neon asked. "Yeah, it's distasteful." he said. "This comin' from the same guy callin' said guy's girlfriend ugly." Mac pointed out. "It was a slip of the tongue!" Caramel protested.

On their walk home, Macintosh and Fluttershy walked in silence for a bit until she broke the silence. "Did she tell you?" she asked. "Huh?" he answered back. "Applejack, did she tell you?" she asked. "She did. Why would ya think ah didn't want ya as a girlfriend?" he asked. "Because a couple of girls were talking about how I'm no good for you and how I'm a w..." she choked up on the last part. "What did ya think ya were?" he asked. "A whore." she said and started crying. "Fluttershy." he said softly. "Why are you going out with me?" she asked. "Because..." Macintosh stopped himself, other than him knowing about Fluttershy liking him, why did he want to go out with her? "Ah, uh..." he stammered still thinking of an answer. "You can't think of anything can you?" she asked getting more upset then she already was. "Ah can ah just..." he said, but was cut off. "No, you can't because you don't really love me at all!" she shouted. "Fluttershy, wait." Macintosh said.

In her angry she ran across the street, what happen next was something neither of them could control. "FLUTTERSHY!" Macintosh screamed. Fluttershy didn't see or hear the car coming, it hit her and rolled a few inches away from it. "Fluttershy." Macintosh said in horror and ran over to her. "Oh fuck, I'm sorry I didn't see her!" the driver shouted. "Call an ambulance!" Mac ordered and picked up Fluttershy up and held her. "Fluttershy, wake up! Come on answer me, wake up!" he pleaded, his heart and mind racing. Fluttershy was unconscious and had a massive gash on her head. Macintosh just held Fluttershy, his eyes filling with tears while waiting for the ambulance.
