[FLUTTERRAPE] A Spooky Problem - Part IV

>Fluttershy is glaring at you
>And you don't know how to react
>Last you heard, she was dead. Killing in the storm, in Anon's house no less
>You try to take a step back but she's fixing you with a look so violent you find yourself paralyzed with fear
>She floats off the chair she was "sat" on and hovers through the table towards you, not even using her wings
>You stammer to find words, but can't think of anything to say
>The whole situation is just so surreal
>You never even spoke to Fluttershy in life. And only knew about her because of her connection to the Elements of Harmony
>She stops moving inches from your face, her ghostly presence filling you with dread
>She narrows her eyes even harder
>You still can't move, a thousand questions running through your mind, but one standing out over the others
W-why are you here?
>Fluttershy smiles
>"You took something very precious from me."
>That can't be right. You've never even met her before now.
Have I? I d-don't understand!
>You start crying again
>This is too much, the dress, the money, the ghost of a dead celebrity accusing you of theft
>You just want a quiet life, is that too much to ask for?
>Fluttershy growls
>"Yes. You did. Anon doesn't want you. He never has! He only loves me and is only acting like this towards you because my death has made him confused"
>There is suddenly a loud bang, scaring the life out of you and the death out of Fluttershy
>A stern voice is heard and a figure steps out from behind a corner
>"Ah. There you are."

1/?

>You are Anon
>You had only visited Greenthumb's house once, when you had to fix her leaking roof.
>That's how you became so well aquainted with one another
>You can read Fluttershy like a book, so you know where she would go. Straight to the source of the "problem" and try and remove it.
>She had done the same in the past.
>Once she found out where you were getting your locks from for all your windows and doors, she actually took up Law, became a Lawyer, found out that the company supplying your locks were dodging taxes, sued them, ran them out of business, and used the funds she had aquirred from it to fund her fetish-guessing attempts and forcing you to find another place to buy locks
>All in the space of 2 months.
>Admirable determination
>But now she's gone too far, and is probably going to hurt Greenthumb
>You'd like her not to, so that's why you are now about to shoulder charge Greenthumb's front door.
>You brace yourself for the impact and put everything into your weight as you slam right into it
>The door gives way and you break the locks restraining it inside
>It flies open inwards and you come to a halt inside Greenthumb's house
>Hearing two shocked cries from the kitchen you turn around a corner
Ah. There you are.
>Fluttershy flies up to you
>"Anon! D-dear! Look! I found that horrible pony trying to take you from me! We can take care of her together!"
>You look at her sadly. No more rage. Just sadness
>She cocks her head in confusion at you
>"Umm. What's wrong?"
>Shake your head
What happened to you, Fluttershy? You used to be so sweet, the Element of KINDNESS, for fucks sake.
>"W-what do you mean? I'm s-showing you how much I love you! I'm removing any problems in our relationship!"
>She desperately starts stroking your face
>Your expression doesn't change, you keep staring through her with nothing but pity
>Fluttershy's attitude takes on a more violent edge
>"LOOK AT ME, ANONYMOUS."
>You comply
I remember when I first got here. Do you?
>This takes her by surprise
>"Of course I remember!"

2/?

I remember being cold and scared, and alone in this terrifying world.
>"Oh you were so miserable! I simply had to take you in!"
>She smiles at the memories, her face becoming more gentle by the second
>You continue
Do you remember those nights we spent in your cottage? I was too afraid to go outside and you understood, gave me as much time as I needed?
>"W-well it would have been mean to force you..."
Remember when, after about two weeks, I had finally worked up the courage to go out into the community, with you at my side, encouraging me?
>Fluttershy sits down on the floor, looking up at you, clearly entranced by memories of her past life
>You look her straight in the face and carry on
I remember. I also remember when I moved into my own house. And from then on, every morning, without fail, come rain or shine, you would be there.
>Fluttershy sniffs and you see more of those strange "ghost tears" form
I would always expect you at my door, every morning. You would always try to "guess my fetish"
>You wave your hands around to emphasise it
>Fluttershy giggles
>"I-it was so I could get you to love me..."
And did I ever? After all those times, after a year and a half of fetish guessing and oggling at my body, did I ever once express my love for you?
>She looks sad again
>"No... You didn't..."
Do you want to know why?
>She peers up at you through her ethereal mane
Because I didn't need to. You were like family to me.
>Fluttershy's lip quivers slightly
You were like a creepy sister. And I knew that even though you did everything in your power to molest and 'seduce' me, I could, for some reason, count on you.
>Fluttershy is now openly crying, tears streaking down her face and hitting the floor, despite them fading the moment they make contact with the wooden surface
Do you have any idea what it did to me, your death?

3/?

>Fluttershy is silent
And then you come back from the dead. I think I've gone completely mad. Driven insane by the grief of your passing. The death of someone who only wants my dick, and yet I came to see as my first friend in this world.
>She is shaking her head and weeping
>"I-I just w-wanted to s-see you again..."
>Crouch down and try to touch her face
>Your hand goes straight through
Fluttershy, let me touch you.
>She solidifies her face and you gently touch it
>She leans into your hand, rubbing her freezing cold cheek against the warmth of your hand
Fluttershy. You were my friend. And then you defy death itself to see me. That speaks volumes, but then you start acting crazier than usual. You trap me in my own house and act obsessive. It scared me, Fluttershy.
>She gazes at you mournfully
You seemed so happy, Fluttershy. Then you start becoming so distant. Like the very thing that made you Fluttershy was sucked out of you.
>"M...my animals..."
Yes?
>"They meant the world to me... And t-then you tell me t-that they won't like me anymore if I show myself, and you were right... They were so scared of me..."
>She sniffs, tears still dropping from her eyes
>"A-and then, I went to see Applejack, and she thought I was a vengeful spirit. She chased me off her farm, screaming at me."
>You carry on stroking her face, your hand going numb from the cold
>"So then I realise, you're the only thing I have left... I'm so scared, Anon."
>You pull her into a hug, her body chilling you to the core, but you don't care.
>You just want her nightmare to be over

4/?

It's ok, Fluttershy
>"N-no Animals, no friends, no home, no life. A-all I have is you. A-and you tried to move on, tried to see G-greenthumb and it made me so angry..."
>You glance at Greenthumb, who is watching you both with a sad look on her face
>She nods at you, as if to encourage you to keep going
>You look back down at the spectral pony in your arms, and you keep stroking her mane
>Your fingers seem to pass straight through it, yet you can feel it exciting the tips of your fingers
I think it's time for you to move on, Fluttershy. You're not happy here.
>She looks up at you
>And smiles slightly
>"I love you, Anon. I really do."
>You smile weakly back at her
>"But I just..."
>You squeeze her
>"Want this..."
>She sniffs
>"To end..."
>And just like that, she disappears, seemigly fading into nothing
>Your arms collapse inwards slightly, the resistance keeping them back disipating
>You sit there on the floor in shock for a second, then sigh
>She's gone. For good.
>Greenthumb trots over to you
>She places a hoof on your shoulder
>Look at her and pull her into a hug
>You both hold each other in silence for what seems like forever, the world seemingly stood still, waiting for you to have your moment
>Greenthumb speaks up
>"She's happier now, isn't she?"
She's at peace.

5/?

>2 weeks later
>You told the Mane 6, now the Mane 5, what happened.
>Applejack's tough-girl approach shattered when she learned that Fluttershy was actually trying to talk to her when she went to Applejack's farm, and not a spirit from beyond the grave come to haunt her
>Twilight was shocked that Fluttershy hadn't gone for good, like she'd thought, and asked questions about her.
>You answered what you could, and you all went out for dinner in honour of the sweetest pony in Ponyville
>You sat and ate in silence throughout the meal. The other 5 had never believed you about Fluttershy's various antics. They just thought it was cute
>You let out a short laugh at the memory of Fluttershy performing a choreographed swordfight for you on your front doorstep while you laughed and drank applejuice on sunny morning.
>Twilight looks at you and raises an eyebrow
>"Something wrong, Anon?"
>Look at her, sipping your drink while the others laugh and joke about what they and Fluttershy used to do together
Nothing. Just memories.
>She smiles and gets back to talking to Rarity
>Things were going pretty good for you nowadays
>You and Greenthumb hit it off amazingly well. You both laugh at each other's terrible jokes and think that Celestia's rear is too wide. A match made in heaven
>She moved into your house because it was big enough for the two of you.
>You still remember the look of awe on her face as she stepped through the door, looked at the stairs leading to the second floor and said: "All THIS is YOURS?!"
>On most days you both head out to your respective jobs. Greenthumb used your entire backgarden as a vegetable patch, and you even got Applejack to share some of her trade secrets to help her
>Your reputation just keeps on growing, and you soon found yourself with a schedule, something you'd never had before then.
>As for Angel bunny, well. You keep him supplied with food, he keeps the animals off Greenthumb's garden. Turns out Rabbits are born negotiators. Who knew?

6/?

>You are just finishing up trimming a hedge for a family on the outskirts of Ponyville
>They give their thanks and some bits for your troubles, and with a wave you set off back home
>On your way back you make the same detour you have for the last 2 weeks.
>You walk up a short hill and find yourself surrounded by large slabs of stone with names engraved in them
>You keep walking until you reach a small one under a tree, a few yellow roses rest at it's base
>'Fluttershy - Element of Kindness - Saviour of Equestria - Friend'
>You smile
>Ponies could be cheesy at times. But that cheesiness had grown on you
>You stand in silent contemplation and respect for a while
>Eventually you look towards the sun, that's heading towards the horizon, basking all in it's influence in a deep orange
>You lean down and pat the gravestone with a hand
>Smile
>Walk past it and down the hill towards your home, and Greenthumb
>You look back towards the tree and shake your head
Fucking Fluttershy.

7/7
The End.
