So there I was in Fluttershy’s cottage surrounded by animals eyeing me up left and right, I quickly tried to make myself as small as possible. All the unwanted attention was making me feel on edge and scared.

Fluttershy noticed this and walked up to me and sat beside me, I almost instantly felt all my problems melt away like she chased them off. She smiled down at me and I quickly began to feel comfortable, I sat up next to her but looked away still a bit nervous.

The trio of fillies came through the door followed by a purple pony about the same size as Fluttershy.

The purple pony, I assumed was Twilight, walked up to me holding a bunch of books in a magic aura seeming to come from her horn. She studied me and then started to flip through the books she had.

“Ok so I think I know what it is, it’s a fox. They haven’t been seen in Equestria for a few hundred years after they vanished without a trace.” Told Twilight, who then got way to excited. 

She started bouncing around saying “Oh my gosh” over and over again. She suddenly stopped and got right up in my face asking me all kinds of questions, I got scared and backed up but she followed. Fluttershy held her hoof out in protest but Twilight ignored it, I was quickly up against the wall.

She suddenly stopped talking and picked me up with her magic and start thinking her questions out loud. She messed with my tail and fur.

”Twilight.”

She messed with my ears.

“Twilight.”

She handled me with no care.

“TWILIGHT!” Fluttershy shouted.

I had enough.

“PUT ME DOWN, NOW!” I shouted

Both took a step back and I was quickly put down.

“I won’t let you treat me like some toy like my relatives did!” I started sobbing.

All five ponies in the room were shocked, the first to recover was Fluttershy. She walked up to me, carefully picked me up and gave me a tender hug. Twilight began to put her hoof out in protest but quickly put it back down.

The trio of fillies were whispering among themselves, the yellow one walked over to Twilight and whispered something to her. They both then walked out the door.
