“HELP MEEEE!” The loud scream of a teenage girl was heard as another tiny human was in the talons of one of the members of a rather famous bird gang that would snatch up little humans and snatch them up only to play with them and then make a hearty meal out of the poor human.

The victim at the moment was a regular looking teenage girl, around her junior or senior year in high school. Having brown hair, brown eyes and a nice color of skin that wasn’t too pale or too dark. She, just like the many other humans of Earth, were taken from their home in a flash of light and brought into the world of giant magical talking ponies that only saw them as intelligent beings that they could eat without feeling any guilt. The girl wasn’t special in any way, she wasn’t super smart, or strong either. The only thing that made her stand out in the crowd was a pair of headsets with cat ears and that she wouldn’t be caught in her school without either a phone or a laptop in her clutches.

But at this moment, neither a phone or a laptop would help her in a situation. Even if she still had the two with them and wouldn’t go anywhere without them… well, mainly cause a crow almost took her said laptop.

Anyways! Back to the said girl that is being toyed with at the moment.

“I JUST WANNA GO HOOOOOOOME!!!!” She shouted to the sky above her as she was thrown in the air, only to be caught in another bird’s beak by the hood of her hoodie. She had tears in her eyes as she looked down to see her being carried over a small school house and towards a creepy-looking forest. She looked back to the school house, only to see something gray and fast coming right at her.

But instead, the blur hit the bird right on the side of its face, right on the black eye.

The bird let out a cry of pain as it let go of the tiny human and she was back to falling. She let out a shrill scream as she was caught by another bird, but with its talon and by one of her legs no less. The strange angle and movement started making the human sick, but before she could lose her lunch of berries and wild grown carrots, another gray blur came and was close to hitting the second bird. Even if it didn’t hit, the bird was still surprised and released the human, to which she started screaming again.

She wasn’t sure if it was good or bad that another bird didn’t swoop down and caught her yet, and she was getting ever so closer to the ground. Of course, she didn’t know what way would be the best to land, so she had her arms out, pointing down to the ground while her bag, hair, and ends of her clothes blew in the cold wind as she seemed to only fall faster. The wind was too strong for her to keep her eyes open, so she only shut her eyes and turned her head, waiting for the more-than-likely death fall.

But another thing surprised her rather suddenly.

Instead of hitting the hard ground and most likely meeting death with the impact, she was met with something rather soft that actually made her squeak in surprise. Without getting up, she could feel whatever she landed on move and felt that it was more firmly on the ground. She then heard a voice, but she couldn’t quite hear what they were saying. She then felt something poking her side.

She let out a small groan as she tried to muster enough strength to at least flip herself over. Thankfully, she had just enough to lift her top half off whatever she landed on. When she opened her eyes, she saw nothing but pink. She lightly put pressure on it to tell her that it was a pillow, or a cushion of some kind.

She then heard a voice.

“Uhm, hello? Are you okay little one?” The voice asked, a younger girl. The girl looked up, only to see the one thing that humans feared in this technicolored world.

A pony.

But, it wasn’t a full grown mare, as she could tell. It was a little filly.

The filly itself was an earth pony as she didn’t see a horn or wings on the young pony. Her coat was a nice pink with a long mane that she could only describe as it being purple, two tones and actually having two ponytails on each side of her neck. Her tail as well was in a simple ponytail with a blue band. The teenage human could only look back in the innocent blue eyes of the filly, right before she moved to a sitting position and starting to back away. ‘No. Not another pony. I may have gotten away the first time, but I don’t think I can outrun a filly out in the open.’ She thought.

It seemed that the filly didn’t see she was backing away as she spoke again. “I-I’m sorry if I almost hit you. I was just trying to save you from those mean birds.”

The human stopped for a moment as she heard that. ‘Th-this filly saved me? No. Don’t let your guard down, maybe she just wanted to save you so she could eat you.’ She thought.

“A-anyways, my name is Lily. Lily Longstockings. What’s your name?” Lily asked the tiny human.

‘I guess telling her name wouldn’t hurt. And I don’t want to be rude.’ She thought. “N-names Sarah.” She finally spoke.

“Sarah huh? That’s a nice name.” Lily then proceeded to sit on the ground, then lay down as she was close enough to rest her own head on the pillow. “So, are you okay? You didn’t get hurt did you?”

Sarah only shook her head as she still had her eyes on the pink filly.

“Oh, thank Celestia.” Lily said happily. But before she could ask or do anything else, the two heard the sound of hoofsteps and Sarah started getting scared as four fillies were running over to the two. One was a yellow earth filly with a red mane and tail and had a pink bow stop of her head. The second was a orange pegasus filly with purple mane and tail that made her seem a bit tomboyish. The third was a white unicorn filly with a two toned mane and tail that was pink and purple. And the last was another pink filly with purple hair that had a white strip and she wore a small tiara.

“Lily, why did you run off with Diamond’s pillow?” The yellow filly asked.

“I mean, I wouldn’t mind but could you have at least asked?” The pink filly asked as Sarah would assumed was the Diamond that owned the pillow.

“I’m sorry. I was just trying to save somepony?” Lily said.

“Who?” Both the yellow and white filly asked.

Sarah quickly saw that the orange filly was missing and yelped as she felt the back of her hoodie being grabbed and she was lifted off the pillow. “Hey girls, look what I found.” A tomboyish voice said as she assumed the missing filly was the one that was holding her.

“A human!?” The other three fillies said in surprise. They walked pass Lily and now had their attention on the human.

The unicorn filly used a simple levitation spell to keep the human in a magical grasp as the others either started touching her or asking questions.

“What’s your name?”

“How old are you?”

“What are you wearing?”

“What’s it like being tiny?”

“Do you taste good?”

Lily quickly got up as she was able to squeeze through the four fillies. Unfortunately for her, she lost her balance and accidentally tripped and fell right on the human, the magic grasp being cut off by the sudden weight and the four fillies gasped as they were worried for both the filly and the human. By some sort of lucky moment, Lily didn’t land on the human, but one of her ponytails hit the levitating human, cutting the magic off, and trapping the human in the pink filly’s locks.

Lilly opened her eyes as she heard a muffled voice under her ponytail. She lifted it with a hoof to see that the human was unharmed. It seemed that Sarah was catching her breath since she could tell that she would have suffocated under her hair.

“O-oh, my. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Lily quickly apologized as she wanted to pick her up and hug the human, but thought that she wouldn’t like that.

“I… It’s okay. It was just an accident.” She spoke. She sat up on the ground now as she saw she was surrounded by fillies. ‘Well, if i thought that one filly could be trusted, who knows about the other four.’ She thought.

“Where did she come from anyways? Was she another human falling from the sky? Is that why you needed Diamond’s pillow?” The young unicorn asked.

“Well, I don’t think so. She was being attacked by some birds and I couldn’t just sit there. I hit one of the birds and scared another before she started to fall. That’s why I needed the pillow.” Lily said.

“So, what are you gonna do with her?” The orange filly asked.

“Wh-what do you mean ‘what am i gonna do with her’?” Lily asked.

“Well, most ponies who catch a human eat them since they taste really good. Rainbow Dash told be that she was the first to try one and she couldn’t help but eat a whole group.” The orange filly said.

“Well, my sis told me that you can even take them home and make them to itty bitty jobs that not even a unicorn can do.” The white filly added.

“Well, mah sis told me that she eats trespassers that try ta steal from her orchard.” The yellow filly said.

“And my mommy told me that they are a common delicacy. She thinks that only the richest could get the tastiest and the most loyal.” Diamond said.

“Of course, if you don’t want her. I could take her off your hooves. I bet Rainbow would love a new human to eat.” The orange filly said.

“Wait a minute. Scootaloo. What if she wants to give her to me so she could be a new worker at my sis’ shop?” The unicorn said.

“An what ‘bout me Sweetie?” The yellow filly asked. “Applejack would maybe want a human ta go and warn the humans that try ta take her crops.”

“And me. I want to try a human.” Diamond said. “And why would Applejack want another human if she gets to eat them, Apple Bloom?”

At that, all four fillies were fighting to see who would have the human if Lily didn’t want Sarah. As for the human, she was seeping with anger as they were fighting for her as if she was nothing but a toy a snack even.

And she couldn’t take anymore.

“THAT’S IT!” She shouted, getting all five filly’s attention. “I’m sick and tired of hearing ponies talk about my kind as if they are the lower class! I have a voice! I have feelings too! What if your friends or family start eating you cause you taste good when you're small!?” She continued. “You don’t know what it’s like being treated like nothing but a toy! Or how now you fear your friends now cause you don’t know if you’ll be in another disgusting stomach for the day!” As she ranted, tears started to form in her eyes. “And you’ll never know the feeling of being taken from your home into a world that no one gives a damn about you! On a whole ‘nother planet… alone… and not knowing if your family is even alive now.” Then she was down on her knees, full out crying as her bottled feeling were finally released and she didn’t care who was watching, nor who was hearing her cry.

Now the four fillies that were once fighting around taking the human, felt more guilty than any moment in their past. Lily was the only one that didn’t feel guilty, but more pity towards the human since she didn’t know what all of this felt like. As Sarah was still weeping, Lily walked over to the human and rested a gentle hoof on her back. She then started to rub her back for comfort.

“Your right. We don’t know what it’s like. Just like you don’t know what it’s like through our perspective.” She started. “I know this might not help much. But I promise I won’t eat you. Not even lick you. That is, unless you want me to.”

Sarah looked up at the filly with tears still in her eyes. Lily shows a comforting smile as she used her other hoof to wipe the tears away. Sarah let out a small sniffle as she gently hugged the hoof that wiped her tears.

One of the other fillies then decided to speak out. “I… I’m sorry. Even though some humans don’t mind being eaten, I should’ve thought about how you’d feel.”

“We’re sorry as well.” The remaining three said in unison.

“We promise that we won’t eat you unless you ask, right girls?” Apple Bloom said, to which the remaining fillies nodded in agreement.

Sarah couldn’t help but smile at how kind these fillies were. “Thanks...” She mumbled as she hugged the hoof tighter and was soon lifted off the ground and onto Lily’s hooves.

“Ya know, if you don’t mind, would you like to join our class? After that I can take you home and give you a nice place to rest.” Lily said. “Of course, you don’t have to, it’s just a small invitation.”

Sarah could only smile bigger as she hugged Lily’s muzzle.

“I’m guessing that’s a yes.” Lily then placed the girl atop of her head, it being soft to rest on as Sarah laid down. “I’ll ask Miss Cheerilee if I can use a small jar to keep you safe from other fillies who aren’t so kind to humans.”

At that, Sarah seemed like the luckiest human to actually befriend a pony without being in their gullet first. And she was much happier to be placed in a jar then in somepony’s stomach.

“Thank you.” She said once more as the soft fur and the perfect weather of the outside lulled her to sleep.
