Why is Fluttershy So Shy?
Chapter 28: Chapter Twenty-Eight. A Break Away.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe Next day Anon had cleared out all of his stuff from Fluttershy house and moved it back into his house, they weren't broken up but they were taking a break away from each other. He need the time to think about how he felt and what he wanted. Before he left the house Anon spent some time with Star, he was unsure when he would see his son next and wanted make the most of the time he could have. He placed his stuff into cardboard boxes before putting the boxes into his car and driving off. The further he drove away the more it hurt, but he knew he couldn't be with someone who lied and manipulated him. He changed himself for her, he gave up everything for her. The Silence was becoming violent as he wiped the tears away with his sleeve before turning on the radio not wanting to think anymore.
He pulled up to his house finding Rainbow standing at his front door with her arms crossed and angry expression across her face. Anon got out of his car and got his boxes out of the boot before heading his inside being happily greeted by Buddy and Molly. Rainbow followed in behind, neither one of them had said anything yet. As soon as Anon put the boxes down, Rainbow snapped and grabbed Anon by his shirt and pushed him against the wall. Anon didn't do anything, he just let it happen. "I found Fluttershy yesterday crying on the streets outside Sugarcube Corner, WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Rainbow asks shouting at his face until he began to cry much to Rainbow surprise causing her to let go.
Anon slumped to the floor. "She lied to me." he sobbed.
Rainbow felt enormous amounts of guilt fill her, she felt so bad for acting so hot headed. She reached down and picked him up for him to be able stand up on his own. "Come on." She led him into the front room and sat him down on the sofa as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "Now tell me, what happened?"
Anon began to explain everything that happened yesterday from his trip to the Citadel of the vampires to when he came back. Rainbow was shocked to hear what Fluttershy had done, she felt ashamed to of stood up for her as long as she has. All of those times when she got bullied and Rainbow stepped in and took the beating's instead, those memories gave her a whole new sense of pain. "I-I-I don't know what to say."
"There isn't much you can say." Anon said as he sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow while Buddy rested his head on Anon's lap.
"Do you know what you're going to do?" Rainbow asks cagily.
"Fluttershy's dad offered me a way out, a chance to turn me back to human... But I will lose all my memorise of my time with Fluttershy, and forget that I even have a son. But maybe that's best, he doesn't need a Dad like me " Anon said with that far away look in his eyes.
"Well, whatever you decide, im here for you and ill try to help I can in anyway I can." Rainbow went over to Anon and gave him a massive hug being careful not to catch Buddy . "Let me start by helping you unpack those boxes, you shouldn't be alone not now." She got up and held her hand out to Anon with a massive smile across her face. Anon couldn't help but look at her and smile he took her hand and got up off of the sofa and got to work unpacking the boxes.
As they unpacked the boxes there was one thing Anon had yet not asked. "Rainbow?"
"Yeah?"
"Why was Flash sitting down with you girls at the café." Anon asks worried about the response.
"Rarity brought him, she said about how he wanted forgiveness, Everyone was willing to give him a chance even Sunset but I couldn't there was something about him that I did like. Not to mention all the thing's he's done to you and Sunset, I just wasn't having it." Rainbow explained.
"Great flash hanging around us, that's all I needed." Anon said sarcastically.
"Hey we've got the camp everfree trip next week to look forward to." Rainbow reminded.
"That is a definitely needed getaway." Anon smiled
"You said it." Rainbow smiled.
For the rest of the week Anon spent his time with Rainbow as they went to school together, hanged out during breaks with the girls and spent every day after school hanging out at Anon playing video games and taking Buddy and Molly out for walks. Dash did as she promised she stayed by his whenever she could to keep him company through this rough time. But during the night when Rainbow had left and Anon was all alone his thoughts flooded back to Fluttershy and his problems. Whenever Anon thought he had his thoughts in order and thought he knew what he wanted some other thought that he had forgotten would come tumbling in pushing Anon back to square one again.
Anon woke up to sound of his phone going nut's. With his still buried into the pillow Anon searched for his phone blindly until he felt the familiar cold rectangle. Anon lifted his head a bit allowing his right eye to see. He had six missed texts each one from his friends telling him he's going to get up or he was going to be late. Then it suddenly hit him today is the day of the Everfree camp trip. He turn to the clock seeing he only had half an With his vampire speed Anon was washed, dressed and a had a bag ready of all that he need during this trip. He rushed down stairs and out of the door into his car and drove off to catch the bus at Canterlot High. Much to his dismay Anon sent a text to Fluttershy asking her to look after Buddy and Molly. He got a reply almost immediately.
Sure I'd be happy to. Have fun
Anon didn't really want to call on Fluttershy but he had no other choice it was short notice and there was no one else he could call on. He Arrived at school just in time and lunched out of his car and ran to the bus. Principle Celestia and Vice Principle Luna were waiting outside the bus "You just made it Anon." Celestia said with a small smile.
"ANON!" Pinkie and Rainbow shouted calling you over making him smile.
"I Saved you a seat." Rainbow removed his bag so that Anon could sit down next to her. As soon as Anon sat down the bus took off heading to Camp Everfree.
"Woke up late ah see." Applejack smirked.
Anon gave a sheepish smirk. "I forgot to set my alarm."
"Well you'll get plenty of sleep on the bus ride." Rainbow said with a yawn.
"Quite its going to be along journey." Rarity added.
Rainbow kept her self entertained as she read the latest Daring Do book, Rarity and chat amongst themselves and Pinkie was being Pinkie while Twilight slept. Anon Just stared out the window as his thoughts turned to Fluttershy and Star as he looked out the window, watching the world go by. He was about to get his head phones out when Sunset lent over Anon's chair to talk to him. "Hey."
"Hey." Anon repeated back surprised to see Sunset talking to him. They hadn't really spoken much to each other since they broken up.
"How's it going with Fluttershy?" Sunset asks with a sad smile.
"Not great but I think I know what I want to do." Anon answered with a slight nod.
"Well im sure you'll make the right decisions." Sunset smiled.
"I hope so." Anon sighed.
"I gotta ask, do you ever think about me when it was us." Sunset asks hopeful.
"Of course I do, I still have feelings for you, but if I even for a moment think about that then I would just lose focus." Anon said sadly.
Sunset was about to reply when suddenly Twilight shot awake screaming. "STOP!"
Pinkie and Sunset lent over the seat to see Twilight. "We cant stop silly, we haven't even got there yet." Pinkie smiled.
"Hey, are you okay" Sunset asks worried.
Before Sunset could say anything Pinkie interrupted her. "We are gonna have so much fun! Were gonna roast marshmallow and eat marshmallow and sleep on marshmallow Pillows!" The hyperactive girl cheered.
Rainbow put her book down and looked over her chair at Pinkie. "Yeah.. Probably not going to do that."
"Maybe your not." Pinkie pulled out a bag of Marshmallows and held them close.
"Attention students!" Principle Celestia called out to all the students on the bus. "We're almost there, but before we get there, we just wanted to tell you how proud we are of you for raising enough money to go on this trip."
"When were your age we made some of our favourite memories in these woods and im sure you will too." Vice Principle added.
"Now whose excited for Camp Everfree!" Principle Celestia asks causing everyone to cheer except for Anon, he put his earphones in and looked out the window until they arrived at the camp.
When the bus arrived Anon took out his earphone's got off the bus with the girls. He took in surroundings looking at all the nature, animal's and plants there near. He wished he could breath in some of the fresh, it was times like this he missed being alive. "Gotta admit it looks amazing here quite stunning. Hope there's a nature walk to take it all in." Anon smiled.
"I definitely wanna go one of those." Spike agreed, looking up at Anon.
"You wanna go one those?" Anon gave spike an odd look.
"Well more the fact I wanna chase squirrels." Spike added as looked ready to pounce on any near by woodland creature.
The farm girl had just struggled getting the bag finally out from the bus storage components. "Im just looking forward to roughing it, make my own shelter, forage for food."
"Er... you know they provide us with food and tents right?" Rainbow asks as she walked off.
"Yep. Still gonna forage though!" Applejack proudly stated.
On the other side of the bus Twilight, Sunset and Pinkie were taking the nature of the park. Whilst Rarity had just gotten her large amount bags from out of the of the bus all next to her in a massive almost mountain size pile. "Im just after some R and R, the past year has all been a bit too much for me."
"I'd say we thought three magical sirens who tried to hypnotise everyone with their singing. Found out two of our friends we're vampire's. Fluttershy giving birth and the on and off again friends with Flash. And we thought Two Demon friends!" Pinkie announced getting the attention of said previous demon girls. Making Twilight frown. "No offence."
Sunset looked at Twilight smiling and put an arm round her while giving her playfully punching Twilight on the arm. "None taken. You'll get used to it." This made Twilight smile and feel a little bit better.
Applejack and Anon walked over from the other side of the bus. "Yep. Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet. Its gonna be nice getting away to a place you don't have to worry about that sort of stuff."
Suddenly Flash ran over with Twilight's Bag, handing it over. "Twilight, here you go."
"Oh thanks Flash." Twilight smiled. Everyone had gotten so friendly with Flash, well everyone except you and Dash. Both of you still didn't trust him and Anon wasn't sure he wanted to be his friend again after everything. But suddenly a loud high pitched speaker went off making everyone cover their ears the sound. While Anon dropped to the floor in agony as the loud high pitch sound hurt his sensitive ears.
"Hey everyone if you could started to the courtyard that would be great! Its time to start the best week of camp ever!" The voice from the speaker announced in a way too happy and over the top manner.
Sunset Quickly rushed over to Anon as quickly as she could. "ANON! are you okay!?" Sunset asked worried.
"Yeah... Im fine." Anon groaned. "That speaker really sucks." he chuckled slightly as Sunset helped Anon up.
"Im just glad you okay." Sunset smiled.
"Yeah im okay we better get over to the courtyard." Anon said as shook his head trying to get the ringing out of his ears.
Sunset was about to walk off when Applejack reached out and pulled her back while everyone else walked off. "What was that?"
"What was what?" Sunset said trying to play dumb.
"You know exactly what im referring too missy. Rushing too Anon's side like that, And I saw that look in your eyes as he walked off. I thought you were interested in Rainbow?" Applejack asks confused.
"It was only small crush after the fact she saved me in the race." Sunset admitted. "I still care for Anon a lot and I know its bad of me but I kind of hope he splits up with Fluttershy. And I hope he takes up on Fluttershy's dad and his offer to becomes human again because I miss him. And I want him all for myself. I know that's selfish but when I was with him and when he saved me that was the happiest time of my life." Sunset didn't wait for AJ's reply as she walked off to join the others.
Everyone stood around the gazebo as the people running the camp walk on to it. "Hi everyone and welcome to Camp Everfree, Im Gloriosa Daisy your Camp Director, think of me as your friendly camp and nature guide. And this is my brother Timber Spruce." Gloriosa introduced as timber took the microphone.
"Think of me as that awesome guy who should always be invited to fun things." Greeted before handing the mic back to his sister.
"We aim to please so before we hand out our tent assignments, we would like to hear from you, your free to do what ever you like here." Gloriosa announced.
"Except hike near the rock Quarry that's strictly out of bounds." Timber interjected.
"Yes, but otherwise your options are wide open. So what activities will make this the best week of your lives ever?" Gloriosa pointed the mic out for everyone to shout out what they wanted to do while they were. Anon's ears were still ringing from when the speaker went off and only caught the tails end of what everyone was saying. "Ill be taking requests the rest of the time your here so if there's anything you'd like to do, anything you need just ask." Gloriosa smiled
"What about the camp gift? That was my favourite moment during camp Everfree tradition." Principle Celestia asks sitting on the bench with Luna.
"Camp gift of course!" Gloriosa answered excitedly before getting into a quite spat with Timber.
"Anyone else picking up on a little tension between Gloriosa and her brother?" Sunset asks with Pinkie and Twilight agreeing.
"Every year Campers work together to create something useful, A gift for future campers. working towards this common goal is key to forming the bounds that will last well beyond your time here at camp. This gazebo was a gift from last years group. oh and the totem pole and the sun dial, were also made by campers."
"The sun dial were our years gift." Celestia's said proudly.
"Even though some people thought it was a little impractical since a sun dial cant be used at night." Luna added with a glare.
"You all seem like a really amazing group so I'm certain you'll come up with something inspiring to leave behind." Everyone cheered excitement and left in wonder about what they will create.
"Speaking of leaving thing's behind now's the time we give out tent assignments, so you can leave your heavy bag's behind." Timber winked while Gloriosa shook her head at the cheesy joke.
"Girl's will be getting their assignments from Timber and Guys your with me." She announced.
"See you lot in a bit." Anon smiled as he walked over to Gloriosa and lined up and waited his turn and pulled out a card from the bag. He Turned the card to see Garnet. "Huh got Garnet."
"Tent buddies." Flash said as he show Anon his card with the same gem.
"Oh come on!"
