Dreaming: Fluttershy

>It's almost over
>You only have to visit one more dream, then you're done
>As you trudge toward the last dream, you pray to whatever gods are listening to spare you
>Considering her past actions, Fluttershy's dream should be the worst one yet
>Marching through the forest to Fluttershy's cottage is a calming and peaceful experience
>The calm before the storm, you think
>As the yellow cloud comes into view, you take a deep breath
"Alright Anon...you can do this."
>After your pep talk, you reach out to press a hand against the bubble
>"Anonymous, we are glad you decided to carry this through."
>You stop and turn around
>Luna stands behind you, a smile on her face
>Without a word, you turn back and touch the bubble

>The yellow mist surrounds you and sets you at ease.
>This place didn't feel like any of the other dreams.
>You feel the environment spin around you.
>Air flows past you as you slowly descend to a patch of grass standing alone in the empty yellow world.

>Gently you touch down on the grass and the platform expands outward, revealing trees and a bright blue sky.
>The sun shines brightly overhead as you can hear your own laugh from behind you.
"What the..." you whisper under your breath.
>You turn around, to hear the source of your own voice.
>Sitting under the shade of a large oak tree is you and Fluttershy.
>She lays cuddled up in your lap as your other self holds her close to him.
>"I wish every day could be like today Anon... You holding me tightly as we guess what the clouds look like..."
"Me too Fluttershy. I can't believe it took me this long to finally realize how much I needed you in my life."
>The dream anon looks down into her eyes.
"You complete me."
>She blushes and buries her head into Anon's chest.
"You know what else Fluttershy?"
>She peeks up at her lover with caring eyes.
>"What's that sweetie?"
"I think... I think I want to wait until after we get married for us to make love."
>Fluttershy looks up at Anon with the widest smile you've ever seen a pony give.
>"Oh Anon! You don't know how much that means to me!"
>She wraps her arms around Anon.
>"I never liked guessing your fetish... I never wanted to do those things to you... I just wanted you to notice me."
>Anon pulls away a strand of hair away from her face and wipes away one of her happy tears.
"Noticing you, was the greatest thing to ever happen to me."
>You stand rooted to the spot watching this display of romance.
>Was all of this true?
>Fluttershy, the crazed sex demon... never actually wanted you?
>Instead, she just wanted... you.
"Hey Shy?"
>She stares into the sky while Anon plays with her hair.
>"Yeah?"
"What if this could last forever?"
>She sits up to look at him.
>"What do you mean?"
>Anon smiles at her and chuckles to himself.
>"What's so funny Anon?"
>Anon pulls out a small slender box, and opens it up to her.
>Fluttershy gasps and puts her hooves to her mouth.
>"Anon... how did you afford this?"
"It doesn't matter... what matters is your answer."
>She sits up, awestruck.
>Anon moves to his knee.
"Will you marry me Fluttershy?"
>The air around you shifts as you find yourself sitting in a pew as a yellow pegasus in a long white gown approaches the front of a church.
>Princess Celestia stands at the front next to Anonymous, wearing the best tuxedo that Rarity could possibly make.
>Fluttershy slowly makes her way down the aisle, tears streaming down her face and a smile that could make any man forget his woes.
>"I have to be dreaming... I have to be..."
>She reaches the front of the room and Anon pulls off her veil and wipes away a newly forming tear.
"Not this time."
>Her eyes go wide and new tears begin to form.
"I.. I have to tell her..."
>You stand up.
>"No Anonymous."
>Luna intervenes.
>"This is her dream. You must let her have it."
"But..."
>"No."
>You stand there in silence as Celestia begins the ceremony.
>"If you do not wish to stay Anonymous... you do not have to."
>It's true.
>You could just leave.
>She's so happy.
>You might never get this chance again.
"I know..."
>Sitting back down, you watch as Fluttershy takes out a small golden ring from a box.
>"With this ring. I, Fluttershy, take you, Anonymous..."
>She stops to compose herself.
>Fluttershys face is a flush red.
>"to be my lawfully wedded husband..."
>She sniffs loudly and takes a deep breath.
>"to h-have and to hold, f-from this day forward, for b-better, or for w-worse..."
>Fluttershy's nervousness begins to set in as she stumbles over her lines.
>Each word begins to become a new challenge as she professes her eternal love for Anon in front of all of these ponies.
>"for r-richer, for p-poorer, in s-sickness and in health"
>She looks up into Anon's eyes.
>The eyes of her love.
>Suddenly the words don't seem so difficult to her any more.
>"until death do us part."
>"I now pronounce you man... and mare."
>The world begins to spin around you once more, as you see yourself coming home to Fluttershy's cottage.
"Honey I'm home!"
>Fluttershy flies to Anon and litters him with kisses.
"How's the baby doing?"
"Baby?"
>Taking a closer look at Fluttershy, she does look larger.
>"She's been kicking... but that probably means she can't wait to see her daddy."
>Anon gets on his knee and places his face next to where his child rested.
"Hey there baby girl. It's only going to be a few more days."
>Fluttershy giggles.
"Soon, you will be able to get out of there and see the most beautiful pegasus in the world... your mommy."
>Anon strokes Fluttershy's mane and lightly kisses her neck.
>"I love you Anon."
"I love you too, Shy."
>The world spins around you one more time.
>Slowly Fluttershy's living room materializes into view one more time.
>Fluttershy and you are playing with a satyr child.
>Her flowing pink hair falls gently to her waist accentuating her yellow hooves.
>"My turn Daddy!"
"Okay go ahead Amber."
>The smiling satyr grabs some dice and rolls them.
>"Uhm... uhm. Mommy? What's that number?"
>"Well let's count it sweetie. How many dots are there?"
>Amber looks down at her hands and counts carefully on her fingers.
>"Oh! Is it six?"
>"That's right!" replies her proud mother.
>She takes her piece on the game board and carefully moves it forward.
>Her eyes widen.
>"Dat means I win!"
>Amber's face lights up and does a cheer that is perfect replica of her mother.
>You stand looking on the scene with conflicted emotions.
"Luna... that's my daughter."
>"This is just a dream Anon."
"I don't know. I just... don't know what to think anymore."
>Your eyes return to the scene where it's changed to the small family huddled around a warm fireplace.
>Outside it's snowing and you are reading to them.
>Fluttershy cuddles up into your arms while she brushes Amber's hair.
>"Anonymous. Moring is approching. We don't have long here."
"Just a little longer... please."
>The world spins around you viciously.
>It must be harder for you to stay here since she's waking up.
>Your body is pulled in many different directions.
>A rhythmic beeping sound fills your ears.
>Slowly, you open your eyes.
>Fluttershy lays in a hospital bed while Anonymous holds her hand.
>Her face looks old and tired, while Anon's hair has began to gray.
>"Anon... I just want you to know that you gave everything that I could have ever wanted."
>Your doppleganger holds her hand and begins to sob.
"What am I going to do without you?"
>Fluttershy gives a weak smile as her eyelids begin to droop.
>"Live on... for me. I'll be waiting for you."
>She wipes a tear from her husband's face.
>"Anon... You complete me."
>A tear leaks from your eye and slowly falls down your face.
"Luna... I want to go home now."

>Wake up.
>Right on time, you hear a knock on your door.
>It has to be her.
>You move to the door and grip the handle.
>Slowly you open it.
>Fluttershy stands in front of you and looks down.
>"Hi Anon. Are... uh."
>She sits there, looking at the ground.
"Fluttershy."
>"Pony feathers. I forgot my guess for today. Sorry Anon."
>She lifts herself up and turns away from you.
"Hey... are you alright?"
>Fluttershy slowly turns to you.
>"Have you ever had a dream that you didn't want to wake up from Anon?"
>You go silent.
>"It just felt so real. Anyway, you don't need to tell me. I'll go home. I know you don't want me around."
>You watch in silence as Fluttershy turns away and starts to walk back home
>Fuck
"Hey Fluttershy..."
>She turns back to face you
>You smile at her
"I'll see you tomorrow."
