Flitter throws a Screwball
Flitter got up, wiped her tears, and returned her wings to her sides.
"Ok. It all started a few days after Cloudchaser moved to Ponyville. She did become good friends with me. But, she became even closer with a pony named Screwball. They were only friends, Cloudchaser and I were partners by the time they met so I felt no competition. Don't worry Cloudchaser remains loyal to me so don't get excited. Screwball was either ignored or unnoticed by everypony. She was a really weird pony. Something with Discord's magic or something totally made her look really weird. She used to be a pegasus. The magic made her wings invisible so it looked as if she floated. Her purple eyes turned into swirlies. She could actually see fine. Her cutie mark even changed into a screw and a baseball. She also wore a green hat with a fan on the top of it, that was on her own free will though. She was sane. Alas most ponies just neglected her. Cloudchaser was her only friend and she would visit her everyday and keep her company since nopony else would. They grew really close. Nothing would stop Cloudchaser from her visits. One day though Screwball and Cloudchaser were flying around when it happened. A bolt of lightning hit Screwball and she fell to the ground. It wasn't in that days forecast but the other weather ponies were truly slacking that day. Screwball hit the ground and was badly injured. With her wings being covered in her blood, which was by the way purple, made it easy for the medics to help her. Screwball ended up in the Enchanted care. It's where injuries were either so bad or had something to do with magic that the doctors there only studied magic in healing. Cloudchaser visited her everyday, for hours at a time. Sometimes she even spent the night there. It hurt me to see Screwball like that. What hurt me the most was that Screwball was my… was my sister." A gasp left the mouths of the ponies around her and my mouth.
I loved Screwball like a sister. Flitter never showed any interest. I always thought it was because she didn't care about her but it was because she cared too much for her. I ignored my inner thoughts for the time so I could listen in on the end of her story.
"One night when Cloudchaser was passed out beside her bed I walked in. I told Screwball that I was sorry I never saw her, never visited her, never talked to her. She said to me 'It's alright. I am just happy you have a marefriend as good as Cloudchaser. I myself have always wanted one. Somepony to love me like she loves you. The unconditional love she has you is astounding. Just remember to be thankful for that. Be thankful for her because she is more than thankful to have you. If I die tonight sis-' 'NO! Don't think of this that way. You'll be fine. You'll walk out of here healthy as ever.' Her tears were joined by mine on her blanket. Her final words were 'Flitter If I do… Just remember to never take her for granted and even though you did never visit me I forgive you. I love you sis.' As the final word left her mouth her eyes closed and her head sank into her pillow I put my head onto her no longer breathing chest. She was the only sister I ever had, and I never spent any time with her. So I vowed to follow her final words. To never take my beloved Cloudchaser for granted. That means to never do… anything like… what you girls did. I love her and doing that would break my vow." She couldn't speak anymore. She slumped her head into her arms and cried. I didn't want to see her like this. I went home to wait until she came back.
