7 - Fluttershy: Human Nature

“You can do this Fluttershy,” the demure mare told her flower-patterned book. She sat away from the bed and close to the closet, giving Rainbow plenty of space. She glanced over to her roommate who gave her an encouraging nod.

Hello, I’m sorry if I seem so formal in this but I haven’t had a diary in a long time. I haven’t had much to talk about so I stopped writing in one when I was a filly. Once I moved from Cloudsdale to Ponyville actually.

I want to talk a little about humans. I’m a little scared that they’re omnivorous. I take care of plenty of carnivores and omnivores back home, but it really scared me. Pinkie said that humans are the dominant species so I was a little afraid. Alex was quick to apologize about the meat we found in his refrigerator.

It did make me a little uneasy when he and Twilight went out without explaining that to us. I won’t deny that I was worried about Twilight for a little while, but can he live without meat for too long? I think he’ll need it sooner or later.

He also has so many things that have to be plugged into the wall in order to work, Pinkie was very smart about what we needed to use and how to handle things in the kitchen though. I think it has something to do with her ability to see humans and I’ll bring it up with Twilight in the morning.

The thing that scared me the most is what we saw on the news this morning. Um, Alex is really nice and I guess he’s not like the humans I saw on there. There was a lot of crime and I know he was being reassuring when he said that a lot of it is going on far away from us but it still made me scared.

There’s also so much grey and brown here, where do all the other creatures live with so many of these cities that humans have. I’ll have to ask Alex about that sort of thing in the morning too.

I’m not sure about asking him immediately though, Alex shared something about himself that seemed so bad. He doesn’t have much family left and it makes me feel bad to hear about it. His parents and older sister are all gone. I don’t have any brothers or sisters and both my parents are fine so I don’t know what that would’ve been like to lose that much of his family. Even with all of that, his brother is out in the place where their sister died. I don’t want to know how bad it was for him to talk about it but I’m happy he told us. He may have looked a little depressed, but I just know he feels better about it now.
