Ben opened his eyes. Everything was blurry. It could make out a yellow and pink blob looking at him. He tried to get up, but the blob pushed him back down.
The touch was gentle and soft.
"Don't move." It said. The voice was famine and soft and gentle, like her touch. "I think you might have hypothermia."
Hypothermia? He was really cold.
"Where am I?" He asked as she took a towel off his forehead.
"My home. Don't worry, you're safe here." She put a new hot towel on his forehead. "What's you name? Do you have a name?"
"I have a name. It's Ben."
"Hello Ben. I'm Fluttershy."
Fluttershy? He heard that name before. His friend, Steven, said it before. More than once, achally. He talked about her all the time. Apparently, she was...best...pony?
His vision cleared and, as it was, he was looking at a pony. A cartoonish looking, pale yellow pony with a light pink mane.
He didn't know what to do, so he took her outstretched hoof in a shake and said, "Hi, Fluttershy."
"Oh." She ran around the corner with a cup in her hoof. What the fuck. How was she carrying that? "Drink this."
She put the cup in his hand and without thinking, he drank it.
Hot chocolate? He drank it all and he felt a rush of heat wash over him.
"Aw" He put the cup down and stuck his tongue out. "I think I burnt my tongue."
Fluttershy giggled. "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about that". Ben couldn't help but smile at that.
"Now, you should get your rest. You shouldn't move. So, I'm really sorry, but your going to have to sleep on the couch."
She cringed a little as if she thought he was going to yell at her. He would never yell at her. He may be going crazy, but Fluttershy was too adorable for him to cause any kind of harm to.
"That's okay." He told her.
"..Okay. Goodnight, Ben."
"'Night."
Ben rolled over. 'What the hell did I take last night to cause the crazy dream.' he thought. But he knew this wasn't a dream. In a way, it was too lifelike. I could feel everything. Cold, heat, softness. He could smell to hot chocolate, taste it too. He could never do any of this in dreams. This was real.
He didn't think he would be able to sleep, but eventually he drifting into a deep sleep.
Fluttershy opened her eyes. Blinded by the bright sunlight, she rolled over onto her other side.
"Good morning, darling."
Sitting a chair was the lord of chaos himself.
"Discord!" She leapt into his arms and pulled him into a hug. "What are you doing here? I thought you were on a secret mission from the princess."
"Well, yes, but I have a few minutes to kill while 'Tia works out the new plans." He chuckled, remembering Celestia spilling her cake all over the plans. Her face! Priceless!
Fluttershy hopped off Discord. "Wonderful! Your just the thing I need right now."
Discords eyes lit up. "Really?"
Fluttershy giggled quietly. She and Discord were just friends, but she had a slight suspicion that he wanted to be more. She was also pretty sure he had a thing with Princess Celestia. Discord was confusing.
"Yes, follow me." She said walking out of the room.
Discord followed her into the living room where Ben was fast asleep.
"I-is that a human?" Discord asked, he seemed scared, which was very strsnge. Ben was nice.
"Oh, is that was he is?" Fluttershy said. "His name is Ben. When he wakes up, I'll need you to turn him into a pony. I don't think other ponies would react to him well as a human."
"You're right to think that." Discord mumbled.
"Oh and when you turn him into a pony, can you make it so he can change back at will, please?"
"Yes, of course. Anything for you, my dear.
When Ben woke you, Fluttershy had finished her morning chores and her and Discord were eating some chocolate milk filled cotton candy.
Ben caught sight of the Draconaquues and screamed and fell off the couch.
"Calm down." Discord said, using magic to pop Ben back on the couch. "Just remember, they're more scared of you then you them. Now hold still."
