A New Friend

Chapter 1 - A New Friend

Fluttershy was on her daily stroll. "Angel, are you sure we should travel this far away from ponyville?" The yellow mare, Fluttershy said. The little bunny gave Fluttershy an icy cold stare. Fluttershy then said "Oh... okay." They walked around the outside of the dark and creepy, Everfree Forest. Fluttershy tenses up due to being near the forest. When suddenly they hear this tiny voice shouting from the Everfree Forest. Fluttershy, being the timid little pony she is paniced. She then said "There is a pony in trouble. What should we do? It dangerous in the Everfree forest!" Angel instantly ran towards the voice. Fluttershy said in the panic "Angel! Come back!"

Fluttershy decided that if she let Angel run off on his own, he would get seriously injured. So, she ran after him even though she is terrified of the thought that she would have to enter the Everfree Forest. She found him trying to lift a large tree branch off another bunny. Fluttershy was shocked that Angel was trying to help another bunny. So Fluttershy then said "Don't worry little guy. Angel and I will help." With all of her force, she managed to move the branch off the little bunny. The bunny had brown fur and pink eyes.

Fluttershy said "We did it Angel. Little bunny, come with me. I will make sure that you will be ok." Then the little voice from before said "Tha... thank you." Fluttershy was shocked and responded with "Where are you? I cannot see you?" Then suddenly the little bunny said "It was me. The bunny you saved!" Fluttershy shrieked and jumped into a bush. In her panic, she shouted "You! You can talk!" and the bunny responded with "Yes? Is that really that strange?" Angel then said something to the bunny. The bunny then said "Oh... I guess I am a real freak..." Then he said in a slump "I guess I shall you leave you alone... Thank you for helping anyway" and as the bunny started to walk away Fluttershy said "You’re not a freak. You’re Unique." then she followed up with "If you want to live with Angel and I. You’re fully welcome." The bunny turned around and with a humongous smile said "Really! Are you sure?" Fluttershy said "Yes, I tend to many animals that are sick. I also have a lot of space so you won't be a bother." The bunny then hopped over to Fluttershy and told her "If I am going to live with you, I have to tell..." and the bunny stopped mid-sentence. Finally he said "my name... It’s Bun."

Then headed back to Fluttershy's cottage. Fluttershy tended to the wounds that were cause by the branch and set up a bed for Bun. Bun quickly became friends with Angel and they spent a lot of time together. Fluttershy rarely saw Angel nowadays, but at least she knows he is happy with his new friend. One day, a week before Angel's birthday. Angel got trampled by a herd of cows. He was severely injured and could not talk or even walk. Bun was with him at the time. He told Fluttershy that while they were fooling around the fields at a nearby farm, a bunch of cows just started to stampede and Angel could not get away in time. Bun was so sorry that he did not get Angel out of harm’s way.
