"Well, here we are Mr. Dalek!" Fluttershy said cheerfully, leading the machine into the house.
"YOU SEEM TO HAVE QUITE A FEW INFESTATIONS." he said, noticing the many, many animals mulling about. "IF I STILL HAD MY LASER, I COULD REMOVE THEM FOR YOU."
"No! No!... uh, I mean.. these are my pets, my friends. I run an animal home and take care of all the animals in the area..."
The Dalek frowned and moved forward through the cabin. The animals in the house stopped their chaotic activity and turned to see the newcomer made of steel.
"Alright, this is mr. ferret, this is dave, that's eloise, that's sprinkles, that's bluebottom, that's-" Sar couldn't exactly tune Fluttershy out, but he stopped caring. He observed the surroundings, evaluating its strengths and effectiveness as a dwelling place.
"WOULD A DWELLING IN THE SKY PROVE TO BE MORE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR A PEGASUS?" The Dalek asked.
"Oh, well... I'm kind of... afraid of heights..."
Genetic failure at it's finest. The Dalek scanned every creature in the house one by one. "THIS ECOSYSTEM COULD NOT POSSIBLY WORK." The Dalek concluded. He scanned the countless bags of food and material for all the animals there. He moved over and examined the label on one of the bags. "HOW DO YOU AFFORD TO CARE FOR ALL OF THESE?"
However, at the Dalek's screeching voice many of the animals in the house began panicking, running and flapping in every direction, and the entire cabin was pure chaos. Sar couldn't care less. He began to scour the house for something interesting or useful.
After about twenty minutes of Fluttershy calming the animals down she began to search for the notably missing dalek. "Mr. Dalek?" She called out. She fluttered up the steps and gave out a tiny shriek as the Dalek rammed into the shelf next to her.
"EXTERMINATE!" Sar screamed at the rabbit that had dodged the tackle and was now back on the other end of the room, panting.
"Mr. Dalek! What are you doing?!" Fluttershy demanded. "Angel Bunny couldn't have possibly done anything to hurt you."
"THE RABBIT IS ANNOYING. IT MADE AGGRESSIVE GESTURES."
Fluttershy set the rabbit down and marched up to the Dalek. "Now then Mr. Dalek, this is my house, and Angel has been here a lot longer than you, and is so much smaller than you-"
"I DON'T CARE." Sar responded simply. "I AM A SUPERIOR CREATURE. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT USEFUL IS MEANINGLESS. THAT RABBIT HAS INCURRED THE WRATH OF THE DALEKS. IT MUST BE EXTERMINATED."
Fluttershy looked hesitantly away, but shook her head and stomped her hoof. "No. This is my house, and while you are staying here you will behave-"
"THIS HOUSE CAN BE COLLAPSED EFFICIENTLY IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES WITH MINIMAL EFFORT. I CAN DO THIS AT ANY TIME. YOU HOLD NO SWAY OVER ME."
"Apologize."
"WHAT? NO."
"Apologize to me and Angel Bunny right now or I'll... I'll..." Sar moved forward.
"YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY THREATEN ME. EVEN IF YOU GO BACK ON YOUR WORD THE PRINCESS CAN MERELY KILL ME. I DO NOT FEAR DEATH, I AM FLAWED, NOT A TRUE DALEK. BUT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE COMMAND TO LIVE, AND THE ABILITY TO SELF DESTRUCT REMOVED. THIS IS A FORCED EXISTENCE OF NOTHINGNESS. A WAR WITH YOUR PRINCESS WOULD BE DESIRABLE! YOU CANNOT THREATEN ME, YOU CANNOT FORCE A DALEK TO DENY HIS PRIDE!"
"I... won't ever clean out your compartment!"
The Dalek stopped. He wondered why he would care about that, but the statement had left an impact on him. He cared about whether he was clean. However this... amenity... would not be enough to sway his judgement. He would not deny the pride of the Daleks. He was in the right because he was genetically superior!
"...NO..." He said, more hesitantly than he would have liked.
Fluttershy frowned. "Don't worry Angel, he really is sorry, he just won't admit it." The rabbit made a series of noises, that Fluttershy somehow understood.
"I AM IN THE RIGHT. THE DALEKS ARE SUPERIOR, THE DALEK WAY IS BY DEFINITION RIGHT!"
Fluttershy sighed. "Alright, this is just the first day, why don't we find you somewhere to stay?"
"I WAS TOLD I WAS STAYING HERE."
"No, no, I mean in the cabin, a little spot in our home you can call your own."
"I DO NOT NEED A 'LITTLE SPOT'. I WILL STAY OUT OF THE WAY. NO DESIGNATED AREA IS NECESSARY."
"You don't want a place to personalize? Someplace to make you feel more at home?"
"I DO NOT NEED TO FEEL 'AT HOME'. WHERE INSIDE THE DWELLING I AM STAYING IS IRRELEVANT."
"Alright, then. It's getting late, we'll have you meet everyone in the morning..." Fluttershy looked around for a second, deliberating. The Dalek watched the Rabbit move over to the bunch of pillows in the corner of the room.
"I WANT TO STAY THERE." The Dalek said with finality, moving toward the pillow pile. He felt a twinge of satisfaction when the rabbit ran for it's life. He pushed through the pillows and circled around.
"Oh... um, okay. Just let me feed everybody and get them ready for bed, then I'll come back up here. Try and get some shuteye, alright Mr. Dalek?"
"I AM INCAPABLE OF SLEEP."
"Oh? Do you need a lullaby? Some milk?"
"DALEKS DO NOT SLEEP. YOUR LULLABY IS USELESS."
But as Fluttershy began to sing softly he felt his eyelid drooping softly. He recieved a warning that he was losing consciousness... but he hadn't realized how... what was this? Weakness! No! "DALEKS DO NOT NEED REST! WE ARE STRONG ALL OF THE TIME!" But Fluttershy kept on singing, undaunted by Sar's outburst. "THEN... AGAIN... IT IS... WISE TO Conserve... energ...." He became quieter and quieter as the Dalek drifted off to sleep. Fluttershy considered throwing a blanket over the machine, but he was safe on his own, and he might get confused if there was something on him in the morning.
"Oh well, goodnight Mr. Dalek." She gave a tiny kiss goodnight on the eyestalk and continued her walk downstairs to prep a cabin's worth of animals for sleep.
