- >You are the unicorn leader of a herd of feral fluffy ponies
- >There are about 50 fluffies in your group, mostly earth ponies
- >You've set up on a small field near a forest far from the city, you don't want those wicked humans intfuencing your people
- >The herd isn't doing very well
- >Most of the grass around your "turf" has been eaten, only a few tufts remain
- >It's fall, so pretty much all of the vegetation has died anyway
- >The others are eating the fallen brown leaves and throwing them right back up
- >It's not that they're poisonous or anything, they just taste like shit
- >You try to be a kind leader, you can't bring yourself to forcing your followers to eat the spoiled leaves
- >Many of the mares are pregnant, thus needing even more food than usual
- >The air is getting colder each day
- >Winter's coming
- >At this rate you won't survive long
- >Each day you pray to Fluffy God to save your people
- >It seems even he has forsaken you
- >Until one day at noon, while looking over the fields, contemplating your fate, you see a bright red dot race down a hill towards your group
- >The others are too distracted either grazing on what little grass is left or hugging each other to notice it
- >All of them except your most faithful friend and advisor, a pegasus named Rustle
- >"Wha' is tha', Waindancew?" he asks
- >"I dunno" you say "No fwuffy move, 'kay?"
- >Rustle nods in silence, backing up into the crowd of fluffies
- >You start calmly walking towards the red dots direction
- >You prepare youself to scare this thing off, whatever it is
- >You start hearing noises coming from behind you
- >Now they've all noticed the red dot too
- >"Wha' is tha?" "New fwiend?"
- >What's that supposed to mean? New friend? When has anything friendly ever approached your herd?
- >You ignore them as you keep walking
- >At last the red dot has come close enough to recognise
- >It's a fluffy pony
- >"Anothew fwuffy?" "New fwiend! New fwiend!" "Huggies fow new fwuffy!"
- >The fools are starting to run up to the bright red fluffy
- >"Quiet!" you turn and yell at them "Stawp!"
- >They all stop in their tracks
- >"Smawty fwiend handwes new fwuffy!" you proclaim and turn around to face the newcomer
- >It's only 20 feet away by now
- >"Hawt intwudew!" you scream "You entew home of Waindancew! State bwuisniz ow face punishmen'!"
- >The red fluffy slams on the brakes and tumbles over
- >It slides along the wet ground and bumps into you
- >You don't even flinch
- >It takes the red fluffy a second regain it's composure
- >It staggers up
- >Your eyes meet
- >It gasps and throws itself to the ground, cowering in fear
- >A faint smell of fluffy urine fills the air
- >"Wiggwy sowwy! Wiggwy no mean to intwude! Wiggwy saw fwuffies and jus' wan' make fwiends! Pwease no sowwy stick!"
- >You wonder what the hell is a sorry stick
- >No time for that, time for "Wiggly" to answer
- >"Why do Wiggwy come to Waindancew's wand?"
- >Wiggly doesn't answer, just babbles on
- >"Pwease no huwt Wiggwy..."
- >"Waindancew ask again. Why do Wiggwy come hewe?"
- >"Sowwy... No sowwy stick..."
- >Enough of this!
- >Bring your hoof up to smack him
- >"No Waindancew!" Rustle intervenes
- >"Don't huwt new fwuffy! Pwease wisten fiwst!" Rustle is hugging Wiggly, encouraging him to stand up
- >"Hmph! Fine den." you grumble
- >This fluffy deserves punishment, Rustle is pushing the limits of your generosity
- >Rustle helps Wiggly to his feet
- >"Pwease, teww why come, fwiend" he says
- >Friend? Rustle is way too trusting
- >Gonna have a long talk with him after this
- >Wigagly still has tears in his eyes
- >"Wiggwy weave home when dadde no come back"
- >A runaway domesticated fluffy pony
- >That's just great
- >The crowd of fluffies start whispering amongst themselves
- >They don't understand what Wiggly is talking about
- >Rustle looks at you with a look of concern on his face
- >He knows how you feel about humans and their weakling "pet" ponies
- >"Why dadde no come back?" Rustle asks Wiggly
- >"Wiggwy... Wiggwy dunno..."
- >The noises of the crowd are slowly getting louder
- >One of the fluffies steps up to you
- >"Wha' is new fwiend tawking 'bou'?"
- >There's that word again
- >"Fwuffie get back to hewd and be quiet" you say without even looking at him
- >He backs up bowing his head in shame
- >You, Rustle and Wiggly stand there, not saying a word
- >The herd keeps babbling to themselves
- >"Aww fwuwwies quiet!" you demand
- >Instant silence
- >"Whewe did Wiggwy come fwom?"
- >Wiggly shakes at the sound of your voice
- >"W-wiggwy come fwom t-thewe..." he points to the hill he ran to you from
- >"How faw 'way?"
- >"Weawwy weawwy faw 'way. Wiggwy wun weawwy wong time."
- >You didn't expect a very exact answer
- >Not that you understand how long 5 miles is anyway
- >"Wha kind is youw home?" you ask
- >"Home is big and wed wid pet doow fow fwuffies and wawm and wots food and-"
- >Wiggly doesn't get to finish the sentence before the herd behind you erupts with the predictable cries of "Food! Giv food! Giv numnums!"
- >"QUIET!" you scream
- >The herd falls silent once more
- >You get to thinking
- >What are you to do?
- >On one hand Wiggly's home is warm and has lots of food in it
- >But it's also the home of a human
- >You look at your tribe
- >They're shaking, some from hunger, some from cold
- >They won't last
- >You hop on a nearby rock to speak to the herd
- >You hate having to succumb to this
- >"Wisten! Waindancew has decided!"
- >The ones in the back snap to attention.
- >Rustle comes to stand at your side
- >"Fwuffies wiww fowwow Wiggwy. Wiggwy take us to new home of food and wawmness!"
- >No one asked for Wiggly's consent, but you know a dumb "pet" pony isn't going to turn down the request of this many new "friends"
- >The herd cheers in unison "Food!" "Wotsa numnum!" "My babbehs gon' be wawm!"
- >"Fwuffy God has not fowgotten us!" Rustle rallies them on
- >The cheers get louder "Pwaised be! Pwaised be!"
- >"Pwaised be Fwuffy God! Pwaised be his messengew Wiggwy!" you shout
- >"Pwaised be Wiggwy!"
- >The fluffies all rush to hug Wiggly, the hope bringer
- >You hide your reluctance quite well
- >The brave leader Raindancer to live in a human home? Ridiculous!
- >What would your father, the great Windwhisker, say?
- >You're betraying your principles to ensure your people's survival
- >That makes you a good leader, right?
- >You quess so, but you can't shake the feeling of shame
- >No time to contemplate, need get fluffies to safety
- >You jump off the rock and ask Wiggly to lead you to your new home
