Strange Little Puppy

A Puppy's New Home

Twilight woke up and looked around. She was not at the pet store anymore, but it appeared she was what looked like a house. She looked at her new paws, signifying that it wasn't a dream. The purple dog casually got up, scouting the area that surrounded her. It was a moderately sized home, for the human-things, that is, with yellow and blue striped wallpaper and a carpeted floor, similar to those in the world at Canterlot High. There was a nearby couch which looked like it was made from what looked like leather. Right next to it were two end tables, and parallel to it on what looked like a coffee table, was something called a "television", which she found out about in Canterlot High. Plugged into it, was something that looked like a console, again something that doesn't exist in Equestria. The words "Super Nintendo Entertainment System", quite likely a video game console, but she hadn't heard on this Nintendo character anywhere and wondered who he or she was. On top of it was another console, one which said "Nintendo 64", again the Nintendo word was on it. A company perhaps?

Casually getting up to her... paws and stretching, as she began to take her first steps in her new body. She felt even more like a young foal than she already was at the moment. "Our new puppy's like a little angel when she sleeps, isn't she?" A female-sounding voice said.

Twilight was about to walk when she looked at the couch. Curiously, she pounced onto the seat, flapping her wings for extra air time as she landed on the leather couch on her paws. "Yes she is, Katie, Kass has been head over heels with the purple pup." The voice of the older brother said, causing the former pony to blush. "Well, not really in love with her, but you get what I'm saying right here." Twilight began climbing up the edges of the couch, almost about to get up to the top when she suddenly slipped and fell on her belly.

Twilight yelped in pain just like a young puppy would before getting up. "Alright, I suppose it's just walking, then." she said as she began to walk around the couch to check the conversation.

"Anyways, I'm gonna play Kirby 64: the Crystal Shards on the N64. But first, the dog needs to be fed." the male voice said as Twilight heard footsteps. By the time she had arrived, she saw that the boy was walking towards her before pausing unexpectedly. "Wait, I almost forgot." he said as he opened the cabinet near him and grabbed what looked like a black strip of sorts. "I have to put on the dog's collar and feed her." Daniel said. Twilight began to look down and feel with her paws, noticing that her collar isn't on her yet. Twilight saw Daniel walk towards her direction and, remembering the last events, she walked up towards him and let him put the collar around her neck.

"Um, I appreciate that I'm in a loving family, but I'm more than just an ordinary animal here. I'm just as intelligent as any of you are." Twilight said. "So, what's your name?" the purple dog asked as the boy finished her collar.

"Oh, my name's Daniel. As you remember, we adopted you at the pet store. While you were asleep for three hours, give or take, we watched a quick movie and I played Super Mario World a bit after that, Estrela."

Twilight attempted to put her collar's tag in her view, but found she couldn't. "You want to see your collar, do you? I'll be right back." Daniel said as he walked off to find a handheld mirror. Twilight smiled as the boy walked to find his mirror, yet she missed Spike so much. She hoped he would find a way, but she knew that she'd most likely be here for millennia to come if she retained her immortality. But then again, she had magic, so she can escape sometime, but she'll have to grow up all over again if she wanted to leave the place.

Her thoughts turned to Daniel once he returned with a handheld mirror in his hand. Twilight walked over to look at her collar. It was black, of course, and had a metallic circular tag that read "Estrela" on it. "Um... thanks, I guess." Twilight said as she looked at her collar. Daniel nodded as he walked towards the television, activating the Ninetndo 64 console she saw earlier. Twilight just hopped up onto the couch and began watching Daniel play. "Kirby? What is that?" Twilight asked as he pressed a button on the controller.

"Oh, both it and the Mario series are the two best video games in the world." Daniel said as he began to play, with the new family pet watching. Twilight looked at the adorable background and stuff, but what scared her at the start was when the Dark Matter Army invaded Planet Pop Star. Daniel "guided" Kirby through the various odd-shaped planets throughout the Ripple Star system, conquering one boss at a time, including a Dark Matter possessed King Dedede. He could've done this forever if it weren't for her mother calling for dinner, right after he had just finished defeating the boss of Shiver Star.

Quickly, he saved the game, turned it off, and walked right to the dinner table. Twilight came in along with him, she was feeling quite hungry, after all. But as she expected, dog food, but it seemed much softer than the food Winona had. She took a quick sniff at it, and took a bite to chew. She half-expected the taste to be something else, but to her new form's taste buds, it was heavenly. She was a puppy, after all. While, the taste was a bit weird, beggars can't be choosers. Even if the taste wasn't very good, she had water to wash it down.

She overheard the Robinsons talk to one another about various things, such as her getting adopted and how the weather's been doing. Though she didn't know how this world worked right away, she at least had a good blueprint on how it did based on her human world experiences through the mirror.. By the time dinner was done, the purple dog began sipping on her water. It would've been embarrassing to do if she was still a pony, but she felt a little more in character judging by her new form. When she was done with that, she hopped up to their parents, who were busy watching some "Star Trek" show on the television. "Wow, what's this?" Twilight said as she jumped onto the couch seat while propelling her wings, this time successful doing so.

"Oh, that. You haven't heard of Star Trek before? But, then again, what lab did you escape from, anyway?" Tyson said in a questioning tone.

"I haven't been in a lab." Twilight said. When she wanted to talk about Equestria, her words got mixed up much like a young foal's would. "Oh, forget it." Twilight said as she began to get seated and watch Star Trek. Apparently, it was a sci-fi story in which a crew working for the UFP look for the galaxy and search for the unknown. It reminded her a lot of how she and her friends are. Twenty minutes in, and a time in the litter box, she began to fall asleep.
