Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Dylan all eventually end up at a large building that looks like a carousel. There is a purple door with what looks like two diamonds on it. There are striped purple poles holding up a small awning that goes all the way around it. There are two large windows on each side of the door both having a yellow curtain. Above the awning and directly above the door is a sign with a pony on a carousel pole. Above the sign is what looks like an actual carousel with the silhouette of two ponies on striped purple and white poles. The top of the building is like a purple crown with a yellow cone. At the top of the cone is a small flag pole with an orange flag.
Dylan, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash head to the door. Rainbow opens it and just walks in. Dylan and Fluttershy follow directly behind her. A bell over the door rings and they hear someone from the inside start talking in an high class accent.
"Welcome to Carousel Boutique where everything is-oh hello Rainbow, Fluttershy. It's so good to see you darlings. What brings you two here today?" Says a pure white unicorn with a beautifully curled purple mane and tail.
Dylan quickly hides behind Fluttershy.
"Hello Rarity, um, we came here today to introduce somepony to you and the fillies, I mean if you don't mind, that is?" Says Fluttershy.
"Of course Fluttershy. I would love to meet somepony you want to introduce to me." Says Rarity giving them a nice smile.
"Come on out Dylan. You don't have to hide from Rarity." Says Fluttershy gently coaxing him out from behind her.
Dylan slowly walks out from behind Fluytershy and gently holds onto her mane.
"U-um, hello m-miss Rarity. I-It's nice to meet you." Says Dylan shyly.
"Oh goodness, aren't you the cutest little colt. It is simply marvelous to meet you as well!" Says Rarity.
Dylan blushes and hides his face in Fluttershys mane. Rarity giggles and speaks up again.
"Ooh he is so cute. *ahem* Fluttershy dear, where did you find him?" She asks.
"Oh um, I found him in the forest being chased by a manticore." Says Fluttershy.
"Whoa that's so cool!" Says a voice similar to Rainbow dash but younger and slightly different pitch.
Three fillies come the rest of the way down the stairs and come right up to Dylan. There is one that is orange with a purple mane and tail. She also has small orange wings. She is jumping up and down to hid left. Right in front of him is a yellow filly with a red mane and tail who is wearing a pink bow. Finally to his right is a white unicorn with a two tone purple and pink mane and tail.
"Oh hello girls. I brought him here to meet you three and Rarity. Dylan, why don't you go play with the girls. Girls Dylan is new here and I am trusting you three to keep him safe while you all play. Now, go have fun now." Says Fluttershy.
"We will, we promise!" Shouts the white one her voice cracking once.
"Come on Dylan lets head to Sweetie Belle's room we can hang out there!" Says the orange one.
They all head upstairs and into a bedroom. The girls have him sit down on a pillow on the floor. The three girls arrange more pillows in a circle and they lay down on their own pillows.
"Muh names Apple Bloom." Says the yellow one.
"I'm Sweetie Belle." Says the white one.
"And I'm Scootaloo and were-" Says the one with wings.
"THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS." They all say in unison.
Dylan flinches back because of how loud they were.
"I-I'm Dylan." he says shyly.
"Aw, c'mon ya don't hafta be shy 'round us." says Apple Bloom.
Dylan smiles at them and lightens up.
"Hey Dylan, what are you?" asks Sweetie belle.
"I'm a human." he says.
"Are ya a filly or colt?" asks Apple Bloom.
"Huh?" asks Dylan.
"He or she?" says Scootaloo.
"Oh! I'm a he." states Dylan with a huge smile.
"What exactly is a human?" Asks Sweetie Belle.
Dylan scratches his head thinking.
"Do you all know what chimpanzees are?" They nod. "Humans are kinda like that but a lot different."
"Differen' how?" asks Apple Bloom
Dylam blushes. "Uh...when humans get angry they don't fling their poop."
The three fillies burst into laughter at what Dylan said.
"Well duh, chimps are zoo animals after all." says Scootaloo who is still laughing.
"Yup they ain't sent tent." says Apple Bloom.
"It's sentient Apple Bloom." says Sweetie bell rolling her eyes.
"Hehe, we also have no fur and very little hair. Also no tail, but we do have a tail bone." Says Dylan.
"How do you know so much about this stuff?" asks Scootaloo.
Dylan looks down and responds with. "I did really well in school so they boosted me up three grade levels. Others my age just started first grade and I was in fourth grade." He blushes and continues. "One of the classes went over some more...advanced...anatomy."
"like bones abd organs and stuff?" asks Sweetie Belle
Dylan gets even more red. "U-um k-kind of more than that..." He says starting to look uncomfortable.
It takes them a minute to understand but then Applebloom gets wide eyes and says. "Oh ya mean 'that' kinda stuff." Applebloom whispers what dylan is talking about. The three girls start looking uncomfortable as well.
"So...whats a cutie mark?" The three fillies look at him with their mouths open and heads back in shock. Dylan looks really scared now that he very efectively changed the subject. "D-did I say something wrong?"
"No, its just,how do you not know what a cutie mark is everypony gets them?" Asks Scootaloo
Dylan just shrugs. "Maybe its just a pony thing?"
"Nah Zebras and Gryphons get 'em too." Says Apple Bloon.
"How exactly do you get one?" Asks Dylan.
Sweetie Belle gets up and starts talking. "When a pony finds their special tallent a mark that represents it shows up magically on their flank." She turns around so he can see where she is talking about. Then she turns back around.
Dylan thinks for a minute then says. "Maybe that's it."
"Whats it?" asks Scootaloo.
"where I come from there is either very little or no magic. So maybe I will get one maybe I wont, never know till it happens."
"In that case you're one of us from now on." Says Scootaloo.
"Yeah, you would make a great addition to the crusaders." Says Sweetie Belle.
"Plus we get 'nother new member!"
Dylan smiles widely and says. "Sounds fun to me!"
"C'mon lets go on a crusade!" says Apple Bloom while getting up and trotting out the door.
Dylan, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo get up and follow Apple Bloom down into the living room of the boutique where Fluttershy, Rainbow and Rarity are sitting and talking. The four children walk up to the three adults and Sweetie Belle starts talking to Rarity.
"Hey Rarity! Were going to go out and play okay?" Says Sweetie Belle.
"That is alright with me if it is alright with Fluttershy?" Replies Rarity.
Fluttershy looks between Rarity, Sweetie Belle and finally Dylan and says "T-that's fine with me if all three of you watch out for Dylan he is new here a-after all. And Dylan please be careful when playing I don't want you to get any more hurt."
Dylan Smiles widely and says " Okay mom I'll be careful." He quickly runs up to Fluttershy and gives her a hug and a kiss and runs out the door with the three fillies.
Rarity giggles and says "He is absolutely darling."
Fluttershy blushes and giggles too. "Oh he is very sweet."
"I wonder what they are going to do?" says Rainbow who had gotten up and was looking out one of the windows by the door.
Fluttershy puts her hoof up to her chin thinking and says "I don't know."
