You know what sounds nice? A walk. It's getting chilly out. Not fully fledged cold, but there's a nip in the air that warns of the coming winter months. The leaves on the trees are shifting to faded amber, and there isn't a doubt that fall is upon you.

You throw on a hooded sweater and step outside. You can only smile as you look around at the world of Equestria. Honestly? For as much crap as you give this world and everything in it? It can be pretty wonderful.

Ponies bustle back and forth throughout town, going about their daily lives, and you can only admire how simple things are. You don't have too much stress, with the exception of yellow horse. You don't have any massive debts. Things are pretty great.

Your feet carry you to the top of a hill, and you look down upon the town of Ponyville below. You relish in the silence. Honestly, you love the disconnection. There's no stress of social media. No obligations to the outside world. Being alone is the chance for you to take a deep breath and center yourself.

"Hello, Anon," says a gentle voice.

You turn your head, and set your eyes on the yellow mare that torments you. You sigh, choosing to recline on a nearby park bench. She opted to wear a black turtleneck sweater to shield herself from the cold, and you can't help but feel reminded of a little bumblebee. A bumblebee with weird pink hair. Hey, I didn't say it was perfect, but you're reminded of it. Work with me here.

"Hey, Fluttershy."

"How are you?" she asks.

"Alright, I suppose. Just trying to enjoy the weather while I can, you know. I can get a bit caged up in the winter."

"I know the feeling," Fluttershy says. "Even after all of my animals begin to hibernate, those that stay inside can get really stir-crazy."

A silence falls in the air, as you feel no incentive or reason to pursue the conversation with Fluttershy. Maybe she'll leave you alone if you just ignore her long enough. You stare down at the town, watching the ponies flitter around like ants.

"Uhm, Anon?"

You groan, knowing your wish was too good to be true.

"Yeah?"

"D-do you mind if I sit next to you?" she asks.

"Yes."

She pauses, frozen in place.

"Is that a 'yes, I do mind,' or a 'yes Fluttershy. You can sit next to me?'"

"Yes, I do mind," you say.

Fluttershy takes a few steps closer to you, and you glare at her. You just want some peace and quiet. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable demand. But, she trots up to the bench and sits beside you, looking down at the town below. You sigh to yourself, trying to ignore her beside you.

"They're like ants down there, aren't they?" she says.

"Yeah," you idly respond.

Another silence falls in the air. What's her game, what's she playing at here? This is ridiculous. You should just stand up and-

"Anon?" Fluttershy asks.

"Yeah?"

"If I were the last mare in Equestria," she asks. "Would you be with me?"

You turn to her.

"What kind of question is that?"

She stares at you, unblinking, unmoving. She reaches into her sweater and pulls out what seems to be a small tablet.

"If I were the last mare in Equestria," she asks. "Would you love me?"

Your eyes move to the tablet. A timer ticks down a number of seconds on the screen. She hands it to you. The numbers tick down from 20.

You turn to look at the town below you, and recline back onto the bench.

"What are you doing?" you say, your voice straightening out.

"We get to be together now, Anon. And now? There isn't a choice," she whispers. "No more temptation from other mares from you. Nopony can take you away from me."

"You're... you're going to..."

The words catch in your throat, as you watch the tablet count down from five.

You bite your lip. A warmth presses against your back. Fluttershy scoots closer. The hair on the back of your neck rises on end.

Fluttershy leans her head against you. You hear the explosion from the center of town. A collective of screams.

Your body goes limp.

"I love you, Anon," Fluttershy says, her voice sounding so distant.

The fireball eats away at the town below you, enveloping all that you know.
