- Better luck next time
- >be male fluffy pony
- >you have a special friend and she’s the best
- >she’s giving birth to your babies now
- >she’s in pain and screaming but you stay by her side to provide what little support you can
- >”wuv speshal fwen’. wuv babehs. evewyffin’ be otay.”
- >she’s breathing hard and pushing
- >other fluffies from the herd are helping with the glorious miracle that birth is
- >they just poke her belly and cheer for the foals to come out
- >one by one they plop out and immediately start chirping for their mother
- >you carry them in your mouth to her for her to clean and feed
- >she softly coos to them as they eat and hug
- >”wuv babehs. pwetty babehs. momma’s wittaw tweasuwes.”
- >the sight makes you happy, you smile and join your new family
- >all four of you hug and slowly drift off to sleep in a cute little fluffpile
- >days pass
- >you have to head out with the better part of the herd males to gather food
- >being autumn, there’s lots of fruit fallen from trees on the ground, some berries but very little grass
- >you gather as much and as fresh apples, quinces and pears as you can manage to carry and bring them back to the cove where you live
- >what greets you there, however, is a disaster
- >seagulls found your herd
- >they picked and tore every fluffy
- >you herd is all but wiped out
- >some of the scavengers break into tears, others stare in disbelief and yet others frantically search for survivors
- >you run to where your family used to sleep
- >your face is wet with tears, your heart is pounding out of your chest
- >you hold your breath and shiver more and more violently as you approach
- >before you are the remains of your special friend, all that’s left of her is torn up fluff, bones and a face with contorted expression
- >you look for your babies but they’re nowhere to be seen
- >you fall down and wail their loss
- >suddenly, you hear someone else crying, a high-pitched familiar voice
- >it’s one of your babies!
- >it must have managed to hide somewhere and survive
- >”BABEH! WHEWE AM YUU?” you scream
- >”DADDEH! SCAWED! Waaa”
- >you hurry to the source of the voice and find your baby underneath a mess of thrown away bowels
- >you pick your blood-soaked baby up and hug it
- >”Babeh! Wuv babeh, dadeh is hewe, evvewyffin betta”
- >it just cries in your embrace and eventually tires itself into sleep
- >turns out your foal is the sole survivor of the attack
- >the other fluffies of your herd don’t like you for it
- >they lost their babies and special friends and think you’re to blame since one of your babies is fine
- >it’s not your fault but they think it is
- >you had to find a new place to live and gather food all over again
- >you tried to pick up your life with your baby and make the best of it but the others would only give you a tiny ration, barely enough to keep you full
- >your baby constantly complains that its tummy has owies but there’s nothing you can do
- >the others take away whatever food you try to hide
- >your only hope was to find some fruit while they were asleep and give it to your child
- >but it wasn’t enough, it couldn’t be - only one good meal a day
- >you want to leave the herd and take care of your baby alone but it’s almost white time and you know you won’t be able to survive alone
- >other fluffies had tried before and later you found their frozen bodies while you were looking for food
- >no, you must stay with the rest
- >your foal grows, it’s beginning to look like a big fluffy now, even if it is skinnier
- >it constantly complains to you that you’re a bad daddy for letting it starve so much
- >you take it with your head down and hope that some day it will understand what you’re doing for it
- >you constantly have arguments about leaving the herd and fending for yourselves
- >your baby doesn’t want you to look after it any more but you know you have to, you know it can’t fend for itself yet, especially in the white time
- >”yuu neva unnstan fwuffy! am big boi nao! can tak cawe fow maisewf! nu nee’ stupi hewd, nu nee’ stupi daddeh!”
- >”yuu stay wiff hewd. daddeh tak cawe of babeh untiw babeh become big stwong fwuffy an’ fin’ spesha fwiend. den babeh tak cawe of own famiwy.”
- >”am nuu babeh! am big fwuffy!”
- >and then it stomped out of your tree hollow
- >you ran after it but the other fluffies held you back
- >”nuu go aftew fwuffy. fwuffy big fwuffy nao, can tak cawe of sewf.”
- >but he wasn’t a big fluffy yet, he was still a baby and you had to take care of it, you alone
- >”NUU!”
- >you punched the fluffies holding you down and ran after your baby but you quickly lost its tracks
- >you wandered the forest for hours to no avail
- >you found hide nor hair of it
- >”BABEH! BABEH!” you kept screaming but you got no answer
- >as the day drew to its end, so did your strength
- >finally, you collapsed in the middle of the woods, tired, cold, hungry, alone and in despair
- >you only had your one baby left and you couldn’t protect it
- >you couldn’t take care of it and it was lost
- >you were a bad fluffy daddy
- >you wept until the chill took over your body and stole your last breath
- >and all you kept repeating until then was “whewe babeh? fin’ babeh.”
