"EEP!"
Grabbing her bunny, Fluttershy scrambled back into her house and slammed the door shut. Locking the door she sighs in relief and leans against the door. Looking down at the annoyed Angel Bunny, she lifts him up and starts panicking.
"A-Angel! T-there's a Timberwolf r-right outside! W-what do I do!?" Pulling Angel to her chest in a tight hug, she moves her mane so it hides her face. "Eep!"
Struggling out of her grasp, Angel hops down in front of his owner and tugs on the end of her mane to get her attention. Peaking through the hairs, Fluttershy looked down at the disgruntled bunny.
"W-what is it Angel?"
The bunny just stared at her and tapped his head and moving his paw level to his hight. Come on pony, you're the animal expert.
What is he trying to tell me? Something about his height? Use my uh, head? Ummmm... "Oh! Are you trying to tell me that the Timberwolf outside is......only a.......Baby!" Suddenly realizing that she left a little baby out in the cold rain, she spins around and unlocks the door and runs back outside, leaving Angel Bunny behind.
Skidding to a stop outside of the bush under her window, she leans down and carefully moves aside the branches and comes face to face with sleeping Timberwolf pup again. Gulping nervously she tries to wake it up.
"C-come on l-little wolfy, I won't-" gulp "-h-hurt you" she whispering quietly. Lightly poking its paw with her muzzle.
Opening her small glowing eyes, Fluttershy noticed the small gathering of tears in the pups eyes. Blinking a couple of times to get her focus back she looks up and notices the pink and yellow pony kneeling right in front of her. Yelping in surprise and fright she shuffles away from the pony and cowers against the wall while carefully eyeing the pony.
"Oh my, it's alright. Mama Fluttershy won't hurt you, I promise." She spoke gently as she steps forward slowly.
Relaxing a little at the ponies gently voice and sensing no danger, the pup slowly steps forward as well. "W-why are you helping me?"
Gasping in surprise at hearing and understanding what the pup said she smiles kindly down at the pup. "Because I help critters, no matter what species they are and I want to help you. Where is your mother anyway?"
Pinning her ears back, she looks down and starts whimper. Feeling a soft fuzzy feeling on her cheek, she looks up to see that the pony was softly cooing and nuzzling into her. After feeling alone for so long she happily takes the affection given to her and leans in to return the gesture. "I-I don't have a mama anymore, my pack disowned me."
"W-why?"
"Because I broke one of the rules of the pack, apparently." The pup looks down confused.
"What did you do?" Curious at these rules she goes to lay down but notices the wet ground and still pouring rain. "Oh! What am I doing, leaving a poor little puppy out in this horrible rain!" Leaning down she gently picks the pup up in her front hooves, cradling the shivering pup to her chest she quickly flutters back into her house.
Putting down the cold pup near (but not to close) to the fire place and flies up the stairs where she sees her now sleeping bunny on her bed. Smiling at him briefly before she quickly comes back down with a blanket to wrap around the pup. Sitting down beside the Timberwolf, Fluttershy suddenly remembers that she forgot to introduce herself. "Oh! I almost forgot, my names Fluttershy and this here is my home or well, den."
"Nice to meet you Fluttershy, but ummm I don't have a 'name'?" The Timberwolf answered a little confused. "Does everypony have a name?"
"Oh of course we do, everypony and critter has a name." A little surprised to hear that the pup doesn't have a name, she suddenly smiles at an idea. "Would you like a name? Oh and umm, what's your uh..."
"Really!? I'd love a name! And um, I'm a female" Smiling excitedly up at Fluttershy.
Smiling at seeing the puppy getting all excited, Fluttershy taps her chin in thought. "Hmmmm, what about um, Tabitha?"
"Yeah! I really like that, thank you Fluttershy!" Happy that she finally has a name, she leans against the pony and nuzzles into her warm fur.
Smiling at the cute little puppy, she lays down beside her and tucks in the blanket around her. After a couple of minutes of peaceful silence, Fluttershy suddenly remember what she wanted to ask the pup before going inside. "Tabby, why was it that you were disowned?" She quietly asked.
Stopping her nuzzling, Tabitha sighs and looks at the crackling fireplace before replying quietly. "Because I wanted to be one of you."
"To be me? Oh you mean a pony? But why?"
"Because I'm sick of seeing my family disappear and having to hide all the time." Sniffling up some of the mucus and quickly wipes her eyes, "I miss mama."
"Oh you poor thing!" Wrapping her hooves around the sobbing wolf and gently rocks her side to side, "It's OK, shhh."
After drying her tears, Tabby leans back and smiles sadly at the pony who also returns the sad smile. Thinking back to what Fluttershy first said, she looks up confused at the pony. "Before, did you mean that?"
"Um, mean what?" Fluttershy tilted her head in confusion.
"Y-you said mama Fluttershy before, w-will you be my mama? You're so very nice to me." She smiles and nuzzles back into her fur.
Widening her eyes at the sudden question. W-well I've always wanted to be a mama, but I'm way to shy to date anyponies to start with let alone be i-i-intimate with. M-maybe this is finally my chance to become one? For this poor little abandoned Timberwolf. Draping her hoof over her shoulders, Fluttershy nuzzles back with a gently smile. "Of course I'll be you mama Tabby, you're so kind and sweet."
"Yay! Thankyouthankyouthankyou m-mama!" Tabby jumps up in excitement and starts lapping at her new mama's cheeks.
Giggling at the cute affection, Fluttershy suddenly freezes and widens her eyes. "Oh no! What are the others going to say!?"
"Who are the others? Can I meet them!?"
Oh my. "Ummm you see....."
