Midnight Spawn


E

A story I started a month ago, asking for help in raising the young pony I found myself raising. Since then, dark beings have arisen, Equestria has been saved, the world has been threatened, and no one knows what will happen next. Usually one chapter a day, and I always welcome advice! Hop on board and hold on--things tend to escalate quickly!

gather some blanketson the floor, and she's really shy so be VERY gentel

I am skeptical, because there are those who lie, but for the sake of Fluttershy, I'll believe you. As for a bed, maybe a Doggie bed? The only other option is to give her your bed. That would show her she can trust you, and then she might warm up to you. Good Luck!

I agree with Eve, let her sleep on your bed. That'll be really kind of you, and that'll make her more comfortable with you. :twilightsmile:
I'm not sure if I really believe this.. I guess I do and don't at the same time, because I like to believe anything is possible. :twilightblush:
Can you sing? I'm sure she would like it if you sang for her. And.. tell her that you're glad she's there. Um.. other than that, just do more research. ^^;;
Best of luck. ;ω;

Maybe she is the same pony from another story I read, Here you go. :moustache:

By the way: liked and faved.:pinkiehappy:

3299954 Whoa... that's freaky because one of my friend's name was Nate. Nate and Brandon. They moved away years ago.
But Nate wasn't a brony as far as I know. So many things line up... but so many more don't. I don't know what to think.

Wow... Just...

The park might be a good idea, but be careful. If she attracts too much attention, that would be bad. Especially on the off chance someone recognises her. Even more so if they bring up the show. I've no idea what that would do to her. However, if you do take her somewhere somewhat public, try not to make it look like she's under some kind of guarded escort.

She needs some form of the truth, I believe. One way or another, she's going to find out, so it's best not to make it look like you were withholding something for the sake of her trust. I don't know if you should mention the show. The idea that she may be fictional, or something created from a wish could be devastating, but she needs something. Similarly, saying nothing doesn't do well for trust.

Take care, my friend. And good luck.

3300665 I'm at the park right now, but remember no one else can see her. I'm not sure how it works, but animals can see her and she can still touch objects (so she can probably touch people) but only I can see or hear her. That's what really scared me the most at first. Right now I'm researching less about her and more about how this could be possible. I mean, there's more than one pony, right? So this could have happened before... I guess. Man, I don't know. I'm just going to let her play with the squirrels and try to come up with something to say tonight.

Hmmm.... Try telling her that she's from a Magical land called Equestria. Not so sure about the cartoon part... try to break that to her slowly, so she doesn't panic. I'll be following this. Be sure to keep us updated, okay?:pinkiesmile:

3300316 I was just guessing about the relevance of the stories, but wow:twilightblush:

Wow. I didn't even think about that. At least, if she isn't, that will probably convince any nonbelievers.

Maybe you could give her something special, like cookies or a mouse. :yay:

Gee.

Maybe you could present the television show as a sort of window to another world. Maybe that would jog her memory. Or you could sneakily buy an action figure of her or another pony and say it was a gift... I don't know Or tell her no one can see her but you and take her out to some not-very-crowded places to show her how your world works...

I'd also suggest watching 'Putting Your Hoof Down." It's an episode where Fluttershy is helped to be more assertive, and you see a lot of her personality.

Where are you watching these episodes? Netflix? TiVo? YouTube?

YouTube might be easiest if that's not already what you're using, because then, no one has to know.

One more thing: Keep in mind that Fluttershy is the bravest character. Bravery is not the absence fear, it is being scared and overcoming it.

Be careful when talking around other people, dude, otherwise you might get a nice new jacket with lots and lots of belts and loops...:pinkiecrazy:

Seriously, though, be careful talking around her. She does NOT need you taken away from her at this point in time.

Oh, and one more thing, tell her about the show ASAP. In the story my little dashie, the guy doesn't tell Rainbow about it for years, and then when she found out on her own, she got TICKED OFF. In fluttershy's case, given her personality, I would think if you don't show it to her soon, when she finds out on her own, (because she WILL, mark my words), she will do either this::fluttercry:
or this::flutterrage:
Either way, not a pretty sight.

Good luck buddy.

3306227 Man, I don't know... showing her, I mean. I just... *sigh* you're probably right. I'll tell her... soon. What's the worst that could happen?
...
Hmm... I'll sleep on it tonight. Maybe the festival will put her in a good mood so I can show her then?

As for things to do: find out what kind of music she likes.:pinkiesmile:
Most Fanfics make her like frickin' Deathmetal of all genres.:facehoof:

For boredom...

This sounds ridiculous, but whenever my grandmother leaves the house, she gives her dogs jobs to do (E.g Theo, you make sure Sammie and Sumo pee outside. Tomo, make sure the house is protected). Maybe you can tell Fluttershy to do something... People (And ponies) feel more important when they feel needed.

Wow. I actually live in NC. But I not anywhere near Morehead,. Dang!

Glad to see you're trying my little dashie...the feels, man, the feels...
Anyway, good to know you are going to tell her. Just make sure you don't put it off too long, I cannot stress enough that you must tell her at some point.

3311444 That. Story. Was. Beautiful :fluttercry: I... I am so determined. If this man could raise her little Dashie for 15 years and be so happy with her, then so can I. My story musn't end as their's did. Did this all happen? After seeing the impossible, I'm prone to believe it. I think I'll do one last update, then I am determined to make the most out of tomorrow!

MLD was one of the saddest stories I've ever read... Please don't put off telling her for too long, I can't tell you how many other fics there's been where telling the pony(ies) they're part of a show is put off and the result is never good. Ever.

See if there are any squirrels or something in your yard. Assign Fluttershy to the role of feeding and caring for them. If you have a job/allowance/some other money source, you should be able to keep her well stocked with birdseed (maybe you'll end up with some more of those, too!). As a bonus, even the people who can't see her will see the beautiful birds and cute squirrels in your yard!
Hope this helps :twilightsmile:

3311644 maybe you should PM the author of MLD and (without giving too much away, obviously) ask how he got his inspiration for the story. Who knows? Maybe you've found someone who can help you :)

I had a thought.

If Fluttershy finds out TV is written by people...


Maybe do some work with the 'All good writing is writers receiving clairvoyance from that universe' theory.

Umm...

Thanks for mentioning me! That's really kind. I can see how Fluttershy fits in with that.

Er...

Maybe you could ask for the chore of feeding and cleaning up after your pets and give it all to Fluttershy?

I'm homeschooled too!

Random comment.

Um.

No sudden brilliant ideas.

Ideas, yes.

Brilliant, no.

Good luck with her! It seems like you're doing really good taking care of her :twilightsmile: I'd just suggest watching more of the show and Fluttershy based episodes like Keep Calm and Flutter On or Putting Your Hoof Down

Thank you for at least trying to get to my idea for finding out her music taste.

Maybe the zoo?.....no, that would make her sad.:fluttercry: Do you have any natural reservations near you?

3315262 She said she didn't know, but I think I found it. If you could see her face during this song, you could tell her heart was fluttering. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-8oF4FPSQA]

She seemed to like the park. Might want to take her there again, maybe find a few more critters, or perhaps a white bunny to remind her of her home.

Or maybe just introduce her to some of our worlds board games, like scrabble, or chess!

Then there's always video games! Nothing too brutal, though. And by too brutal, I mean any fighting whatsoever in it. Like, Mario, or something.

If it was any, then I was glad to be of help!

-lunarstallion

3316788 NonononononoNO. Not Mario. Remember he hits what essentially are turtles? I think that would make her cry.:fluttercry: maybe something like.....like....was it Animal Crossing?

Great job getting her cutie mark! And I realize that now is definitely not the time to break the news. But still, don't wait too much longer.

3319049 The plan is to break it to her today, and treat it as good news. I know how I'm going to tell her so that she isn't like scarred for life or anything.

:rainbowderp:

Hrm, maybe you should check Youtube or some other site to find what other people recorded of you. You say that others simply cannot see her? I wonder what it looks like on their end. Do you look like you are hugging yourself, or look like you are hugging an "object" that they can't see? Furthermore, you should read multiple fictions (if you have the time) to read up on what mistakes are done with the 'Human In Equestria' inserts now-a-days with the protagonists. Perhaps you will find something useful there, a suggestion that was done in the story/recommended in the comments.

Curious.

Uh oh.:rainbowderp: This is bad. Very, very, VERY bad. Um, uh, tell her......GAH! I don't know! Wait, I know!
The truth. Tell her the truth. That she's from a TV show, and you didn't tell her because you thought she wouldn't take it well. Remember. Truth.

3318497 Oh crap, I forgot about that! And yes, Animal Crossing would be PERFECT for Fluttershy!

Ooh. Not good.

Have you seen GalaxyQuest? Basically, a bunch of aliens think a spoof of startrek is a series of historical documents. It isn't what you should tell Fluttershy, but maybe...


And maybe children can see her? Or maybe it's only bronies. Why don't you try te get a few of each over to your house?:yay:

Well I hate to tell you this, but... We told you she was going to get upset. :ajbemused:

I'm going to agree with 3320881's hypothesis that bronies can see her.

As for the moon... I'm not noticing anything different about it other than the usual 'man in the moon,' what are you seeing? :rainbowhuh:

3321615 could Midnight Spawn be seeing something different? Maybe because of Fluttershy?

Maybe she's... radiating some sort of energy...

I don't know...

What does Midnight Spawn think?

3321790 Very possible. Only time will tell.

So Midnight, what are you seeing that we don't see? :rainbowhuh:

Wait. Have you ever heard of the "Mare in the Moon"? What exactly does the shape on the moon look like? Cause I have a sneaking suspicion.......:trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright: If it looks like a pony, :twilightoops: then we're doomed.....

i'm not gonnu lie,but yea :applejackunsure:

I'm holding Fluttershy's cutie mark hostage.... :trollestia:

Watch the episodes: Luna eclipsed and Sleepless in Ponyville.
Hope that helps you out, or at least entertains you.:twilightsmile:

If you find Nightmare moon...... we're all screwed. if you find Luna , be friendly because if she gets mad...... WE"LL ALL DIE PAINFUL DEATHS.:raritycry::fluttercry::applecry::fluttershbad::fluttershysad:

If Nightmare Moon indeed does come to you, then play it off. If she tries anything, attempt to thwart her plans in any way, and try to get the rest of the elements here, considering the fact that you've now watched the show and know what those are.

If it's Princess Luna that arrives, treat her with respect, and do not fear her or cower from her, she doesn't like that sort of thing. If you want to know, to some extent, what a few of her powers are, watch the following episodes: Luna Eclipsed, and Sleepless in Ponyville.

Hope I was able to help you!

-lunarstallion

Hmmm... This is very confusing. I don't think you'll meet Nightmare Moon. I'm pretty sure that when on the moon she couldn't communicate with anypony, and Princess Luna can look into ponies dreams. The evidence points to Luna.:twilightsheepish: Phew! But there's still the mare in the moon. If Luna's not there......:derpyderp2: Agh! Confusing!

Pinkie's here too? Well, you practically have Andrea Libman (Voice actor of Pinkie and Flutters) at your house! :pinkiehappy:
But I'm with the others in these comments, show Luna/ Nightmare Moon the utmost respect. Watch her episodes, they might give you some warning to how she can be.

Pinkie Tips: (Ideas)

GOOGLE ONLINE JOKES TO SHARE

Cupcakes... Maybe ask your family to give you time in the house alone to bake with the ponies? Any family holidays, anniversaries... Maybe use thanksgiving as an excuse... Get them out to bake with Pinkie.

Watch 'Cutie Mark Chronicles' Season 1, Ep. 23. Very important, in case other ponies appear and pass out on your floor or prance up to your lawn. Backstories, etc.

Read a fanfic called 'Leather and Lace'. It's really good, and it's about Rarity. It has a kind of vague similarity.

Can Fluttershy help you to explain? She's gone through waking up in another world...

Maybe bronies would be able to see a picture?

Has Fluttershy had a bath or groomed herself? Or do ponies from Equestria not need that...

As you know from watching the series, never expect the regular laws of physics to apply to Pinkie.

And for Luna/NIghtmare Moon: Study up your understanding of Shakespearean language.
