Skystar - part 1

Some weeks ago Anon E. Mouse got a new job. In the begining he thought that it'll be perfect for him, but after the first three days he changed his mind. It was the worst job that he every had. Hard working for nothing, long working, bossy boss, insufficient payment. It was worse that his worst nightmare. Some days ago he started searching for relaxing therapies on the internet, but it was unnecessary, because he was ALWAYS frustrated. There was one solution. The most difficult, but most successful. Having a pet. Anon didn't have a favorite pet so it was hard to choose. It was time to visit the petshop and choose a pet which can be perfect.


After he entered into the big petshop filled with many kind of pets, he greeted the shop owner, who was his best friend, Dan.

"Hi Dan!"

"Hello Anon. How are ya?

"I'm not fine. I need something that can make me calm."

"And......do you need a pet?"

"Yeah."

"What kind of pet will be the perfect for you?" Asked Dan curiously.

"I don't know yet. I wanted to look around to choose."

"Okay then, look around!"

Anon started looking around. There was so many pets there. All of them was so cute. As he walked between their cages, they looked at him and went closer. The colorful birds were singing and the fish just were in their tanks and looked to each other with their big google eyes. It was so hard to choose. Anon didn't know which can be good for him. This was a race for the pets and the finish was Anon. Everyone tried to be cute to be the pet who will be Anon's pet. Anon was the victim. He couldn't take it anymore.

He wanted to leave and say goodbye to Dan, when he suddenly looked at a strange aquarium which was empty, but in the tank was water and some underwater plants and coralls. He came closer. Suddenly he saw a little blue fishtail behind a big red corall. It disappeared. Next to that corall there was many green seaweed. Anon saw that they are shaking. Someone is hiding behind them. It was so strange. He didn't know what was that, but it was very smart. Anon wanted to see that thing behind the seaweeds, so he slowly pressed his right index finger on the aquarium's wall.

Some seconds later the creature showed herself. A beautiful little mermaid creature appeared in front of him, whose head looked like a horse's head and the half of her body looked like a horse's body, but the other parts of her body looked like a fish's body. She was yellow with white blue name and tail and dark blue eyes. Her face was adorable. She was a little bit afraid, but she looked like brave. In her name he could see a pink thing, looked like a flower. And why did Anon know that she is female? Because her face looked like a female horse's face. She slowly swam to Anon's index finger and touched the tank's wall with one of her tiny hooves. As she looked at Anon, he knew that she'll be the perfect pet for him. They just looked at each other and then...

They both fell in love.

Anon smiled and after that the cute creature smiled too. The most cute thing in this little mermaid horse was her big puppy dog eyes. Anon couldn't take the view of them longer, so he looked at Dan behind the reception desk.

"Ah...Dan?"

"Yeah?"

"Come here please!"

"I'm comin'!"

A few moments later Dan came to next to Anon, who asked:

"Do you know what kind of creature is her?"

"She is a seapony. A very rare magical creaure."

"Has she got a name?"

"Aha. Her name is Princess Skystar."

Anon looked at the creature again and said:

"Wow. A princess. It's good to see a royal person."

At that moment the little seapony smiled and her face blushed. Anon couldn't take her cute face anymore and started laughing quietly.

"You're right. A ROYAL person."

Princess Skystar looked at Dan with an angry face. It was clear. She loved Anon at first sight and didn't want to somebody stand between her and the big guy.

"So cute." Said Anon. "How much is her?"

"35 $."

Anon looked in his purse. Fortunately he had enough money to buy Princess Skystar. He gave the money to Dan, who went back to his desk to put the money in the cash register and came back with a piece of paper.

"Here we go! These are the instructions for your new pet."

After Anon got the paper, he started reading it quickly. These were the instructions:


INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Feed her with fruits, vegetables and water! (Not the bathing water!)
2. Play with her! She doesn't live being alone.
3. Make her home aquarium comfortable! Just in case make, or buy her an "underwater" dollhouse, which can be her "house".
4. Basically she is a hybrid creature, so she can live without water, but not forever! You MUST put her in water after 5 hours!

WARNING!

After 5 hours without water, she could die!

DON'T WORRY!

You can't understood her, but fortunately she can understood you. She is smart and teachable enough to express her feelings to you.


Anon looked at both Princess Skystar and Dan and asked:

"What does this "hybrid" mean?"

"it means that she can transform into another form. But only if she isn't in water."

"Let me guess! That form is some kind of pony form?"

"Aha."

Anon looked at the little seapony and said:

"So awesome!"

"Indeed it is."

"And......How can I took her with me? This aquarium is too big."

"That pony form will help you."

"What?"

"Take the flat of your hand above the aquarium. She will jump onto it and transform into a pony."

"Ah. Okay."

Anon slowly took the flat of his right hand above the aquarium. The little seapony looked up and started collecting energy for the big jump. Suddenly she swam straight up to the surface of the water fast and as Willy from the "Free Willy" movie, she had a gib jump onto the flat of the big buy's hand.

But when she landed, she wasn't a seapony anymore. She became a yellow pony with the same mane and tail and eyes, but she had wings on her back and blue slippers on her hooves.

"So what do you think Anon?" Asked Dan.

"This is the most awesome thing in my life..."

As Skystar heard this, she smiled.

"....and in this form she can use magic?"

"Nope. In this world the magic doesn't excist."

"Well, okay she'll be fine without magic. Will you?"

Skystar nodded and showed her cute face again. As Anon saw it, he caressed her little chin.

"Cute." Said Dan.

She made that angry face again. Aborableness test 100/100%

"And can she fly?"

"Yes, she can." Said Dan.

Anon nodded and said:

"Okay, I think I'm done here." Said Anon. "I must take this little lady with me and show her new home."

"Have a good time Anon! And have you got an aquarium for her?"

"Mhm." Anon nodded. "A big aquarium."

"Oh...well, as I said: Have good time!"

"Thanks Dan."

Anon walked out of the petshop with Princess Skystar on his hand, who was happy to having a gentle and friendly owner. Ten minutes later they were in front of Anon's house. As she saw the house, her cute face filled with happiness and amazement.
