Fluttershy sang quietly while she cooked her breakfast. She had just finished feeding the animals and decided she was hungry as well. Angel, her bunny, was staring out the front window. His ears were twitching in curiosity. The Pegasus giggled and went back to making her oatmeal.
Thump thump thump
Fluttershy looked over at Angel, who was pounding his foot on the floor. Angel jumped up and down, waving his paws at his owner. Fluttershy frowned and put the mixing bowl down and trotted over to the bunny.
"What is it, Angel? What's wrong?"
Angel pointed with a white paw at the window. Fluttershy walked over to the window and looked out.
"Is there someone outside? I don't-"
Fluttershy stopped short at the creature she saw. It was a tall animal, walking on two legs. Or more like stumbling. The creature was fur-less except for its short blonde mane on its head. It was wearing strange clothes and shoes. Fluttershy squeaked and ducked down behind the window sill.
"O-oh dear. I w-wounder what that i-is."
The shy little pony peaked out the window again at the animal. It stumbled sideways and it's legs buckled underneath it. It landed with a soft thud in the grass outside of Fluttershy's cottage.
"Oh no!"
Her fear of the strange animal was washed away with concern. She galloped out the door and over to the creature. Fluttershy stopped a few feat in front of it. It held its paw to its chest, and Fluttershy could hear as the animal tried to take in wheezing breaths. It looked up at her and Fluttershy let out a startled cry.
The creature had tears flowing down its face, fear dancing in its eyes. Its face was extremely pale and it was shaking. The worst, however, was its lips. The were turning a frightening shade of blue. The animal opened its mouth several times, as if trying to talk, and collapsed the rest of the way to the ground.
Veterinary instincts kicked in and the young pegasus turned to one of the many birds she cared for.
"I need you to go and get Twilight Sparkle. Can you do that for me, please?"
The hawk saluted her before flying off. Fluttershy knelt down next to the fallen animal. She brushed back some of its mane from its blue eyes. It was looking at her, almost silently pleading with her. It was breathing fast and shallow, wheezing.
"C-Can you understand me?"
The creature nodded.
"Alright. I need you t-to keep breathing. Help is on the way."
The creature smiled slightly and lifted a shaking paw. It reached out and placed it on Fluttershy's hoof. Fluttershy gave it a reassuring smiled and held on to its paw. It opened its mouth, as if trying to speak. It gave a strangled sob and clenched its jaw. The creature suddenly shuddered, eyes rolling back into its head, and it went completely limp.
Oh no
