Perspective: Twilight Sparkle

We continued to walk down the path to Fluttershy's cottage. Looking to my side, I saw Red Tails looking much more content, hopefully the walk itself has helped him a bit. "It must've been difficult for him to tell me all of that," I thought to myself.

"Uh, Twilight?" RedTails asked.

"Yes?"

"Was it your friend... Fluttershy I believe her name was, the one whom you were referring to? If so, then I believe your previous context of 'he' was mistaken," I wasn't surprised that Red Tails said that. At least, not until I realised that I never said he to him in the first place.

"How did y-"

"You also have an apparent habit of thinking out loud at times. Plus, assuming those surrounding you will not hear said thoughts."

"Oh," I replied, embarrassed.

"Look, not that I am questioning your choice here Twilight... but I am questioning your choice. Your friend strikes me as a tad shy..." Well, I can't argue with that.

"Well, yes, she is, but who I want you to meet is actually her adopted son... and my nephew." I said with a smile as we neared Fluttershy's cottage. He looked at me confused.

"The two of you are sisters?" he asked.

"Nope," I giggled.
"Then how are you..." we arrived at doorstep of the cottage. I wanted to knock with my hoof, but Red Tails's tail beat me to it.

Perspective: Toby Mason
While I was helping Momma with feeding the animals lunch, especially Mr.Bear who gets really hungry at lunch time, we heard someone knocking at the door.
"Do you want me to get it Momma?" She smiled back.
"Thank you sweetie," she turned back to Angel, "Now Angel won't you please eat this salad?" I giggled. Opening the door, I saw Auntie Twilight and another pony standing who looked about my age next to her.
"Hi Auntie Twilight!" I hugged around her neck and she hugged me back.
"So, you were the one Twilight was talking about..."

"Hi, my name is Toby!"

"Well, it is nice to meet you Toby, my name is Red Tails,"

"R-RedTails?" RedTails, is the pony that saved Momma! I hugged him around his neck to.

"Thank you so much!"

"Um, you're welcome? For what, if I may ask?"

"You saved Momma right?" looking at him, I couldn't hold back a huge smile.
"Oh yes, to my knowledge you are Fluttershy's son, correct?" I nodded. "I thank you very much for thanking me Toby, but it's unnecessary, I did so because it was the right thing to do. Although, can I ask you something? If you don't mind."
"Sure!" He was probably going to ask if I was human, most ponies do when they meet me.
He circled around me and stopped in front of me again. "Where is your tail?"
What?

Perspective :Fluttershy

After seeing that Twilight had brought Red Tails with her, I invited them both inside, making them each a cup of tea along with Toby and myself. However, it looked like Red Tails seemed a bit confused.

"It is very good to see you again Red Tails," I said trying drawing his attention. He seems a lot happier than he was two days ago, which I'm really happy about.
"It's good to see you again to, Fluttershy," he replied. Twilight looked over to me.
"Fluttershy, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Of course. Toby sweetie, can you show RedTails upstairs while I talk with Twilight?"
"Okay Momma." my sweet little boy smiled.
"Fine by me, let's go." RedTails replied. As the two went upstairs, Twilight put down her cup of tea and looked down at floor. This worried me a little, she usually acts like this when something is wrong.
"Is everything alright Twilight? You look like there's something bothering you, um, if you don't mind me asking that is."
"Well..." she sighed, "I honestly don't know Fluttershy. We're going to go see the princesses tomorrow, but..."
"It's alright Twilight, is about RedTails? Did something happen?"
"I... I can't say why, I promised RedTails." she sighed. Moving over to her, I rubbed my hoof up and down her back in hopes to calm her nerves.
"It's alright Twilight, I understand. Maybe in time RedTails will openly tell all of us what's wrong, you're doing the right thing."
"I know, but still..." she sighed again, "It's because of that reason, that I brought him here today. To talk to Toby."
"Toby, why? Twilight, how serious is it?"
"Well..."
Perspective: Toby Mason
"So, Toby, um... what do you want to talk about?" RedTails and I were sitting on the bed together, he really does look like he has a lot on his mind. Momma told me that RedTails got hurt and had to stay at library, I really hope he's feeling okay.
"Would you mind me asking you a question RedTails?"
"Of course not, ask away."
"How can you do that? With your tails I mean."
"Oh, well that's pretty common question, can you put your ho- hand, in the air for a second?" I put my hand in the air and he brought his tail up to it. In a few seconds, his tail matched the same shape as my hand.
"Wow! Can you actually-" I felt myself being picked up. Looking down, I saw a large red hand shaped tail beneath me, holding me up.
"Oh, and incase you're wondering why it looks like it's on fire, it's just because of the magical energy flowing through it," he set me gently back down on the bed.
"But, I thought only unicorns could use magic."
"That fact still remains as is," he chuckled, making me slightly giggle as well, "Although that would be awesome, I can't cast spells or anything like that with my tail. but magic flows through my tail like water in a stream," he pointed to his flank, "It is my special talent after all."
"That is really cool RedTails. My special talent is playing piano, even though humans don't have cutie marks." I giggled.
"Yes Toby, that actually brings me to my question."
"Sure, what is it RedTails?"
"How did you come to Equestria?"
