//------------------------------// // What Are You? // Story: Aliens and Ponies // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// Fluttershy carried the creature and laid her on the couch. She was about to go get the first aid kit, until she noticed something about the marks, they were already healing! The mare was confused at first; she never saw something as extraordinary as this. After the marks had healed completely, she watched from a distance as the creature opened its eyes. Its blue eyes slightly opened as it looked around as to wonder where it was. They shot up at full shock when it caught sight of Fluttershy. It cowered to corner, afraid of the mare. “No! Please, calm down. I won’t hurt you” Fluttershy tried to speak out. Thought the creature was afraid, it felt it could trust her. It calmed down a bit and spoke, its voice made it clear it was a girl. “Who are you?” “My name is Fluttershy” The creature looked shocked at first. “Are you…the one I was sent to?” Fluttershy was confused. “What do you mean? Who are you?” “My name is Bunny. Bunny Katsuma, from E-arth” “E-arth?” Bunny nodded. “I’m an alien” Fluttershy was shocked. “An alien? But, I thought aliens don’t exist” “Not so, we exist but barely reveal ourselves to others” “Then why are you here? Have you come to invade us?” “No, I came because I was sent here, by the Lord to help you” Fluttershy then remembered her prayer to the Lord, but she didn’t expect it would send her an alien for help. “Help me?” “Yes, He saw your suffering that you had too much now to deal with. I was called to go to Equestria to help you get back all your animal friends” “Then, why did your ship crash?” “Right, sorry. On the way, a beam of power struck my ship. It was set to take me to your cottage, so that’s why it crashed there” “I can’t believe He sent an alien to help me” “The Lord has seen your sufferings; he won’t let any believers suffer. Though, I can’t really fix much of a problem here yet without information” Fluttershy shrugged at the last part. “Information?” Bunny nodded. “Indeed, come here” Fluttershy leaned in closer. When she was in range, Bunny placed a paw on the mare’s forehead and closed her eyes as she chanted. “Videre omne praeteritum et praesens”. After a while, she pulled away. Bunny opened her eyes again. “Pinkie Pie was the one who took them, eh?” Fluttershy took a step backwards. “How did you know?” “It’s a spell I learned at E-arth, it allows me to see your past and present” “You saw all my memories?” Bunny nodded. “You had a lovely mother, an abusive father, an adventurous elder brother, and a twin sister who loved and protected you no matter what. You’re the Element Bearer of Kindness, which you gave back to the Tree of Harmony. Your closest friends are Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Spike” “You got it all correct” “Now that I know about your life, I know how to fix your problem and save your friends” Fluttershy smiled a bit. But then they heard the door open, it was Twilight. “Fluttershy, about earlier, I…WHAT’S THAT?!” she screamed at the sight of Bunny. The alien began growl, from the memories, she knew that Twilight didn’t even try to help stop the capture. “Bunny, don’t!” Fluttershy called out, but it was too late. The alien jumped from the couch, towards Twilight. Luckily, before she could’ve been hit, Twilight ducked Bunny’s pounce, resulting to the alien hitting the wall. Bunny slid down the wall unconscious, all she heard were a few voices, and then she blacked out. ________________________________________ “What was that?” Twilight asked as Bunny slowly blacked out. “Twilight, meet Bunny. She’s here to help me” “Help you? Then, why did she try to attack me?” “She looked into my memories, so when she saw the one in which as the animals were taken away and you didn’t even try to stop Pinkie, she might have mistaken you for a threat. I had no idea though that she could actually leap that strong, given she looks like slightly shorter than Spike” “I see, how did she get here?” “I was praying to the Lord that he would help me get all my friends back, and then her ship crashed in my yard. She looked hurt, and didn’t want anything worse to happen, so I brought her in here. That was when I noticed the scratches on her from the crash began to fade away so quickly, and then she was completely healed. When she woke up, she was afraid at first but when I introduced myself, she calmed down. We had a little chat, she chanted something, and she saw my life” “Cool” “Hang on, why are you here?” Twilight shuddered. “Oh! Um…I came here because I felt really sorry for what happened a while ago. I decided maybe I could go here, and stay by your side to comfort you…Just for the night?” Fluttershy was slightly surprised. “You mean like a sleepover?” “Well, yeah…if it’s okay with you” The Pegasus nodded. Tomorrow, her friend had an alien to meet. ________________________________________ In Bunny’s mind… Bunny woke up in a dark void. She was on her stomach, so she got up and looked around. She held her head with her paw due to a slight pain. “My…head…” she muttered. “What…what happened? Where am I?” she turned her head around. “I was gonna pounce and yet…Twilight! Of course, that Alicorn is always on the move!” she recalled what happened. She wanted that when she gets out, she will probably turn Twilight into a dog, or something else. But that wasn’t her top priority now; she was wondering where she was. Or how could she have gone there. Then it hit her. “Oh no! They can’t have used the spell on me! What if…they sealed me into the darkness?!” She was beginning to worry. “Father? Please…I’m not gonna fail! Just, please, don’t let me sink back to the darkness!” she called out. Dark smoke began to surround her. “Father? Please, I’m begging you!” she screamed. “My body! FATHER! Please! HELP ME!”. The smoke was beginning to engulf her, she was pretty sure she was about to go now. Please, she thought to herself. That was when she heard it, I will come to you in the silence I will lift you from all your fear You will hear My voice I claim you as My choice Be still, and know I am here I am hope for all who are hopeless I am eyes for all who long to see In the shadows of the night, I will be your light Come and rest in Me Do not be afraid, I am with you I have called you each by name Come and follow Me I will bring you home I love you and you are mine She heard His voice in song as she opened her eyes and saw a light in front. That was when the mist faded away, leaving her unharmed. “Father? Is that you?” she asked at the light. Come, child was all she heard. With a promise of safety, she ran towards the bright light. “Please…please”
