Tuesday (November 15th)

Winter was here. Today was supposed to be the first snow fall.

Fluttershy and I were wearing warmer clothes and watching out the window, waiting for the snow to fall.

She was laying her head on my chest and I had my arm around her.

That night almost two months ago had changed a lot. Fluttershy would not let me go when we were together, and I did not want to let her go. I liked being by her, with her. Sometimes, I had to force myself to leave the house.

That night had also opened up our 'love life', as Fluttershy called it. She seemed to like doing it with me a lot. I did not mind. It always made me feel happy after we were done. We now slept in the same bed everynight and kissed every morning. It reminded me of my parents when I was younger. They were like this. And they were happy. Fluttershy still had not told her friends that I was her mate. I did not know why she was waiting. But she said she was going to soon.

"I hope all the animals managed to scavange enough food for spring. They'll be very hungry when they wake up." Fluttershy said.

"Yeah. I am a little sad to be away from them." I told her. Most of the animals were pretty nice to me since they got used to me. Even the bear. The bear really did not like me at first.

"Me too." Fluttershy said.

This would be my first winter without sister. It made me sad, but I was happy I could spend it with Fluttershy.

I had been able to keep my job at the Spa by coming in regularly and had quite a savings by now. Although work had died down a lot since I had come, I still had almost fifteen hundred bits in my savings account. I was planning on using it to buy Fluttershy something when spring came, but I did not know what it would be.

About a half hour later, the snow started falling.

"The first snowfall is always the most beautiful." Fluttershy said.

I nodded.

We watched the snow fall until it was too dark to see. Fluttershy led me upstairs for 'some fun', as she liked to call it.

Thursday (November 17th)

I finally convinced Fluttershy to tell her friends that I was her mate. I did not know why I wanted them to know, but I did.

We were walking to Twilight's house where they would be waiting for us. They were having a get together and Fluttershy was bringing me along.

"Light, please. Let me talk to them about this." Fluttershy said.

"Why?" I asked her. I looked over to her and she seemed nervous.

"I would prefer it if they heard it from me rather than you." She explained.

"Okay." I told her. If she wanted to do it, she could.

We reached the library and I opened the door. Fluttershy walked in with me behind her.

"What is Light doing her, darling?" Rarity asked.

"I'll get to that soon." Fluttershy said.

"Well, why don't we start already?" Dash said. She seemed bored.

"Now that Fluttershy's here, we can." Twilight said.

"This is going to be so fun. We haven't done this in forever!" Pinkie shouted.

"It sure has been awhile, hasn't it?" Applejack agreed.

Fluttershy and I sat down on a couch. She sat on the end and I sat between her and Dash.

Twilight was about to say something, but everypony just started talking to each other.

"So, Light. I haven't seen you in awhile. Where have you been?" Dash asked me. She laid her hand on my arm.

"I had a problem a few months ago. I do not want to talk about it." I told her. I frowned, remembering what Rain had did.

"The Timber wolf thing? That's in the past, and I already know about it. Come on, everytime we spend time together you say you want to see my moves; but, you never follow through when we schedule." She said. She still seemed happy even though her words sounded angry.

"It was something else. But I would like to see your moves. We can do it right now." I said, forgetting why I was here in the first place.

"Alright." Dash smiled. She got off of the couch and so did I. Fluttershy did not notice.

We exited the library and went behind it.

"Get ready to be amazed, Light." She said before she shot into the air.

I had a hard time following her. She was doing rolls and dives and things I did not have names for. It did look amazing. I was so caught up in it, I did not notice her coming in a dive at me.

Before I knew what was happening, she opened her wings right in front of me and stopped, sending a solid wall of air at me. It was not strong enough to move me.

She was hovering in the air. She went closer to me and put her hands on my shoulders. I put mine on her hips because it felt natural.

"Were you amazed?" She asked through breaths.

I nodded. She smiled.

She started leaning down. Before I knew it, she kissed me.

"Rainbow dash?!" I heard somepony say before I could pull away.

Dash was startled and forgot to flap her wings for a second. She fell into my arms.

I looked back and saw Fluttershy and her friends. My hand went up to my lips and wiped off Dash's kiss automatically.

I felt terrible inside. I felt like I hurt Fluttershy. I realized Dash was still in my arms.

Fluttershy walked up to us and pushed her out of my arms.

"What's wrong, Shy?" She asked, confused.

Fluttershy put her hand on my arm and reached up with the other one and touched my cheek.

I could feel myself frowning and could see her frowning as well. I did a terrible thing.

"Fluttershy-" I started.

"It's not your fault, Light. I know you wouldn't do that to me on purpose." She said.

I still felt terrible. I could see the pain in her eyes. I could feel tears in mine. I had hurt Fluttershy.

"Shy, what's going on?" Dash asked.

"He's mine, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said in a whisper.

"What?" Dash stepped closer.

"He. Is. Mine." Fluttershy said slowly. She sounded angry.

Instead of looking like she was sorry, Dash looked angry.

"What do you mean he's yours?" She asked. She was angry.

"He is my mate." Fluttershy told her.

"I don't believe you. I can see it in his eyes when he looks at me. He likes me not you!" Rainbow yelled.

I did not know why they were fighting. They were very good friends.

"We've mated, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said. She quickly put her hand up to her mouth.

Fluttershy reached out a hand to Rainbow. "Rainbow, I'm sorry. I got lost in the-"

"Save it!" She yelled.

I could not take it anymore. I realized they were fighting over me. I had caused this. If I was gone, it would stop.

I let go of Fluttershy and galloped.

"Light?!" I heard her call.

I did not want to be the reason Fluttershy and Rainbow were arguing. It made me a terrible pony.

Memories came forward. The night Rain had been here. He looked so angry when he saw me kissing Fluttershy. The look on Fluttershy's face when I smashed her tea set and table. When I broke her stool. The fear in her eyes when she first saw me. The way I made her shake with fear in her own house. And finally, her face just moments ago. The pain in her eyes.

I kept hurting Fluttershy. No matter what I did. No matter how much I loved her. I kept hurting her. I did not want to do that anymore. She did not deserve that.

I ran from her, to make sure I could not hurt her again.

I ran until I saw a familiar building. I ran into it without thinking.

I recognized it as the post office. The same mare from before was there. I took a few breaths to calm down.

"Oh, good timing. Your name is Light Weight, yes?" She asked me.

It took me a moment to respond. I nodded.

"I have a letter for you." She said.

I walked over to her. "Who is it from?" I asked her.

"I don't know. It's one of those letters that doesn't have a return address that the government sends out." She said.

She handed it to me along with a letter opener.

I took it out and read it.

Dear Mr. Weight,

It is with our deepest apologies, and humblest regrets, that we inform you that your sister, Stella Weight, has passed away at 2:17 AM on November 14th due to natural causes. We wish for-

As I read it, my heart began to hurt worse than anything else ever had. My mind was foggy and I fell to my knees, grabbing my chest. The pain was too much. Way too much.

I couldn't breath and my vision was clouding and had spots in it. As I collapsed to the floor, one thought was in my mind.

Sister was gone.

A/N: Alright, here's the situation. I have up to chapter 13 written. I don't have anything done for chapter 14. So the schedule will still be the same until I hit chapter 14. If I don't have it done, I will get it done and out, it just might be a day or two late. This one was late because I forgot. Woops. I've hit a little snag in the process. Shit goes down in the next three chapters and now I've written myself into a corner that I don't want to take the easy way out of. I want to continue it from there in a natural way (which is awkward since my stories essentially write themselves) without bitching out, so some actual planning is going to have to happen. So I will be thinking through the implications of what happens. I also have a little bit of writer's block; so yeah, that's happening. Well, I got three more weeks to do it so...wish me luck. I've also realized this story turned out A LOT differently than intended. It was meant to have a nice, calm, and happy tone. Now it's borderline depressing drama. Dear lord what happened. I guess this is what I get for letting my stories essentially write themselves. Also, sorry if this chapter's a little 'eh', I wrote it when I was sick and it's too late to change anything. See ya on the flip side.
