I know, this MIGHT be the quickest story update, like, EVER so far. I've already gotten a few reviews, and they've all been good, so I'm planning on continuing the story. But please don't forget, that I have school, clubs, and another writing project which I have been wanting to finish the second chapter for some time now.

I would like to take this time to remind my viewers that this story is MEANT to go from the third to the first person for a REASON. It's meant to swap from those views. So please don't comment on it.

Finally, I understand these are really short for chapters, so I'll try my best to make the chapters longer as I go on with the story.

With that out of the way, enjoy the story, and remember...

The Beginning of the End.

That evening, Fluttershy spent most of her night, pacing around her home, anxiously awaiting the Guard to come and take her to jail. In her mind, she didn't just commit murder. She commited treason, a betrayal to her best friend, a stab to the back. She tried to calm her frail nerves by preparing a kettle of tea. She was extremely tense, and as she took the teapot off the stove top as there was a knock on the door. She was so startled she dropped the kettle, and it shattered, the boiling water scorching her delicate hooves. "Ow! I-I'm coming! Ow!" she shouted, as she approached the door, opening it quietly. "T-Twilight? What are you doing here at this time of night...?" she asked, blowing on her reddened hooves.

Twilight appeared to have been crying earlier, but she appeared calm in the presence of her now only friend, not wanting to startle her. "Fluttershy, I need to tell you something. Something very important. May I come inside...?"

"Oh, um...sure. Just be careful, I dropped the kettle of tea I was making...I need to clean up the mess..." she said quietly, as she opened her door for Twilight. Her Cutie Mark appeared to be shimmering in the moonlight, as she stepped inside.

"You might want to sit somewhere more comfortable. Perhaps in your room." she said, and led Fluttershy to her room. She motioned for her to sit, and as she did, she knew exactly what it was about, and the tension and anxiety appeared to radiate off of her. "Fluttershy, this is awful difficult for me to tell you...but it involves why all of our friends have seemed to disappear."

"What could have possibly happened to them Twilight? Applejack and Rarity have been gone for so long...I really miss them." Fluttershy said, trying to contain her tears until Twilight revealed the known secret to her.

"Well, I don't know all the details, but from what the Guard told me, they were killed."

"K-KILLED?"

Twilight nodded, as she placed a hoof on my shoulder. "Brutally. And it seems Pinkie Pie died the same way...it seems we're all alone, and that we'll need to find and comfort others." Twilight said, as she started to cry.

As she started, so did I. "Oh Twilight!" Fluttershy cried, as she embraced Twilight, trying to comfort her, as well as herself. "What are we ever going to do without them!"

"I don't know Fluttershy. I don't know." she replied quietly, as she hugged me close, trying to stay calm herself. "We'll have to have a memorial to commemorate their memory. It will be in approximately a week. We'll need you to be strong, and try to help us all through this loss."

"I'll do as I can Twilight..."

Twilight smiled gently, as she started to walk out. "Have a good evening, Fluttershy." she said, as she walked out, closing the door.

"Goodbye Twilight..." Fluttershy said quietly, as she watched her only real friend walk out the door. As she did, she turned out all the lights in her house, and sat in her room, pulling out her diary as she turned a light on.

Fluttershy's Diary, October 14th, 11:59 PM.

Twilight came over to my house so suddenly this evening, and I wasn't prepared at all for her visit. I understand she came here to COMFORT ME, and I appreciate that. But, to be completely honest, I think I'd much rather be alone, as I can't tell ANYBODY about what I did, only myself. I only did it to SAVE OTHERS! She doesn't UNDERSTAND! She CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND! She doesn't GET ME ANYMORE! There is a memorial service next week...I don't even think I'll be able to GO, much less PREPARE AN EULOGY!

May Princess Celestia and Princess Luna give me STRENGTH for this!

Fluttershy.
