	Fluttershy flew through space for thousands of many years (not to be confused with many thousands of years), but because of time dilation, it only felt like about five seconds, which is a good thing because had she been in the vacuum of space for much longer, she probably would have been killed. Eventually, she entered the Earth's gravitational field and blazed through the atmosphere at several million miles a minute. Being a pegasus, she was naturally adapted to blazing through the atmosphere though, and as adrenaline kicked her to act on instinct, she spread open wide her flippity-flappers.

Luckily for her, Earth actually has a much stronger magic field than Equiis, magic being one of the few resources humans haven't figured out how to deplete. Inasmuch, Fluttershy's wings were able obtain a ridiculously high drag coefficient, and while miraculously withstanding thousands of G's for a few seconds, Fluttershy quickly decelerated into a gentle glide. Falling with grace a few miles above the earth's surface, she saw mostly nothing but water. She did however, in this great ocean of blue, spot some United States territories with a bad habit of abusing workers' rights, and coasted down onto the Northern Mariana Island of Saipan. It is interesting--though irrelevant--to note that the author's ex girlfriend grew up there.

Upon landing on Saipan, Fluttershy set about exploring the many natural formations the island possessed, such as Suicide Cliff. There, she found sitting at the precipice an ape-like creature, meditating on the futility of life. Suddenly feeling brave, she trotted up to him (it looked and smelled like a "he") and said "Saluton! Mia nomo estas Fluttershy. Kio estas via nomo?"

Unfortunately for Fluttershy, Equestrian sounds a lot like the Earth language Esperanto, which every snooty linguistics intellectual knows about but doesn't actually speak. Fortunately, this creature was hardly an intellectual, and so responded gleefully in perfect Equestrian, "Saluton Fluttershy. Estas plezuro renkonti vin. Mia nomo estas Radiger, kaj mi estas tute radikala! Mi estas malĝoja ke Cliff Burton mortis, kaj mi amos citi la roko bando Smash Buŝo. Kie estas vi el Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy explained that she was an alien who had had too much soda (she didn't go into the details of why) and had somehow burped her way across space, time, and common decency. They talked for hours, but then Ragider decided that he had to help his new friend find her way home, because she didn't belong on earth. He was a cool dude like that.
