New York...

"I have job for you Dante." The masked man said with a chuckle

"What is it?" You asked as you walked towards the desk.

"A girl. She needs a knight in shining armor."

"Why?" You asked

"She was kidnapped by a bunch of wannabe terrorists idiots thought she could be brainwashed but they didn't account of her being a fighter."

"So why don't they just kill her?" You asked

"She has a gift, a gift of knowing the future." He said ending with eerie 'ooohhhhh'

"Funny how much do I get?" You asked with a monotone voice

"Right straight to business the buyer said he'll give you 40,000$."

"Tell the fucker 20,000$ more then we have a deal." The man nodded as he gave you a letter. He then gave you photo of the girl.

She had long light brown hair with icy blue eyes. She seemed to be wearing a white turtleneck sweater and she also had a long blue skirt.

Her name was Lilly from what she wore she was in a private school the insignia on her skirt made it obvious.

"And Dante try to keep her alive." You nodded as you exited the office.

Equestria...

Rarity let out a small giggle as Fluttershy smiled at your story.

"I never knew a man such as yourself didn't know that magic existed." You shrugged and smiled as Rarity took a sip from the tea which was next to her.

"Yeah I kinda find out by Raiden who told about the whole magic thing." You let out a small chuckle before turning the conversation to Fluttershy.

"So Fluttershy ya think you could help me find a pet?"

"Oh of course all you have to do is meet the little furry friend you want to be your partner and companion." She stated a small smile appearing across her face.

"Really I'd love to have a partner to be with me and alongside with me for life."

"Maybe Fluttershy can help you find your companion. Seems like it could really bring up your morale. When you're feeling down that is." Rarity says with a giggle as she took a sip of tea from her cup.

"Could you really?" You asked with curiosity

"Oh of course I could help you." She said happily

After your talk about animals and how they could be your companion the talk winded down to awkward silence the worst kind of silence.

You tried looking for a topic but nothing could come to mind. That was until Rarity pointed the conversation to the event that was going to happen in a few weeks.

"Fluttershy do you remember a few months ago when Fancy Pants gave me two tickets to the new art museum in Canterlot? I was wondering if you'd like to come with." She asked in a polite and friendly manner.

"I would love to but I can't you know how I get around new people but thank you for considering me." Fluttershy stated a blush upon her cheeks

"Hmmm I guess I'll have to go alone." Rarity let out a soft sigh but looked at you with a smile

"Dante I know we just met but would you like to come with me to the art museum? I know you're new and all but I'd really appreciated it."

"Sure I'd love to come with more exciting then just staying at home."

"Perfect!" She said happily

"I'll make arrangements right away!" You were a little amazed by her enthusiasm she seemed to be excited for her trip to wherever the event was held at.

"Goodbye Fluttershy." Rarity said happily

"Oh goodbye Rarity." Rarity quickly stood up from her seat and walked back home.

"So Fluttershy do you need any help?" You asked

"If you don't mind helping me some of my animal friends need to be fed." You nodded and decided to help the poor girl out.

You didn't have any money on you with no money you couldn't pay for the check. You started to think of ways to avoid paying you looked towards Fluttershy who seemed to pull out her bag of bits. You shook your head and felt like a scumbag for not paying your half.

A few minutes later...

"Listen Fluttershy I'm really sorry I'll pay you back I promise." You say to her.

"It's fine Dante really you shouldn't worry about it." Her smile was small but for some reason you saw her aura and visualized an extremely happy and excited Fluttershy.

"What if I helped you by making sure your furry friends are well fed." She stopped and looked at you with a sincere smile

"You'd help me?"

"Of course you're an acquaintance of mine and a friend of Raiden's I'll do my best to help you with anything you need."

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

A few hours later...

Raiden looked around town to see that the café you,Rarity,and Fluttershy were having lunch at has been empty for sometime much to the relief of waiters and waitresses.

Where could've they gone? Raiden said to himself as he thought of where they could've gone.

He smiled to himself as he approached Carousel Boutique.

"Rarity are you home?!" He shouted entering the shop.

Rarity entered the lobby to see one of her closest friends waiting for her.

"Oh Raiden what a surprise I didn't expect to see you."

"Aw you don't want to see me what a shame and I came here to see you." He said feign hurt in his voice.

"Oh calm down Raiden it's good to see you."

"Ditto...so where's Dante?" Raiden asked Rarity

"Hmm last I saw he was Fluttershy she seemed to take him to her home we were talking about pets and how they can bond with their master's."

"So Fluttershy guilted him into adopting a pet?" He asked

"I'm not sure but he seemed more then interested with the topic." She stated

"Wow it took me weeks before Fluttershy invited me to her home and that was just in the front lawn. She must've taken a liking to him."

"Well they do share similarities from what I've seen from him he's nice and isn't a jerk."

"Maybe Shy finally got her true love?"

"Maybe but let's not get our hopes up she's a sensitive girl plus with Rainbow protecting her it won't be easy for him." Rarity informed

"Well yeah Rainbow and Shy have been friends for years now so I'm guessing Rainbow's like a big sister to Shy." Raiden explained

"Give it time she'll accept Dante into our little circle." Rarity nodded as Raiden started talking more and more about the new guy and how he became fast friends with six of the most powerful girls in Equestria.

"One more thing Dante's been really keen on helping Pinkie with her little problem." Rarity sighed and looked towards Raiden

"You should inform him that it's best to leave things alone for now. She needs to warm up with him first in order to open that can of sadness."

"I know I explained things to him and that he shouldn't force himself onto her and her problems."

"As long as you inform him I know he's just trying to help but it's best to leave things alone for now." Rarity stated

Cottage...

You were a natural with wolves they warmed up to you easily and they seemed to be happy eating their food once you had thrown food into their mouths.

The smallest was named Hunter he was a runt from what you seen.

You approached Hunter as you cut the pieces of meat into smaller bite sized pieces for the young pup.

"There there you'll be big and strong one day." Hunter happily bark as you began to feed him.

Fluttershy didn't feel like feed the carnivores mostly because she would faint at the smell of blood and the way the wolves ate she couldn't stand that either. You happily obliged by helping her feed the wolves and other carnivorous animals.

As you finished feeding the animals you walked over to the hose located just outside her home and began to clean the dried animal blood off your hands.

You grabbed a towel and dried your hands making the clean and pristine towel into a damp bloodied mess.

You looked towards the chicken coop to see Fluttershy throw seeds around herself as the chickens began to peck the ground enjoying their meals.

"Fluttershy do you need anymore help?" You asked jumping over the fence.

"Oh yes just the bunnies need to be fed and we'll be done after that we can some iced tea." You gave her a solid nod as you opened the gate letting her out the fenced off coop.

She had a small blush as you walked towards her home. Once inside you saw many of the bunnies rush towards her happily salivating for their food.

Fluttershy walked over to the kitchen and grabbed as many carrots as she could give each of the bunnies their own and sometimes shared carrot.

"Here." She handed you a carrot her smile small as she glanced towards a creme colored bunny.

You looked at the scene in front of you seeing a Snow White bunny fanning another bunny as he was infatuated by the other.

"Uh what's up with that?" You asked pointing towards the two bunnies.

"Oh the one on the pillow her name is Lola the other bunny is angel he has a crush on her since I brought her in many months ago. Could you please feed her she's really picky about her meals and-" You smiled and nodded as you shushed her

You started to think of ways to make the small bunny eat her food. After a few minutes you walked into the kitchen and took out a knife you started shaving off the skin and chopped off the stem. Once it was completely shaved you started to cleaning the carrot. Chopping it into small bite sized pieces.

You put them on a plate and just to fuck around. You grabbed a clean towel and put it over your arm pretending to be a waiter. You glanced at Fluttershy who giggled at what you're doing for the small bunny.

You approached Lola and presented her the food as she smiled and started to eat the meal being somewhat lady-like. Once she was done you walked back to Fluttershy and stated.

"That's how it's done." Fluttershy giggled and smiled

"It usually takes me hours for her to eat but it only took a few minutes with you." You nodded as you began to clean what you had used for the small bunny.

"It seems like taking care of these playful little guys keeps you busy how do you do it?"

"Oh it's nothing interesting." She said with a smile

"Seems like you're avoiding the question Fluttershy." You stated with a raised brow

"Well I always..."

A few hours later...

After talking to Fluttershy for a few hours you learned about how she first got her cutie mark which looked like the tattoo you had on the back of your hand. She was surprised when your mark was of a crescent moon with twin blades hovering over it.

"Well I'm kind of a freelancer I do odd jobs here and there. Sometimes my jobs get a little crazy to a point where I get a few scars." You let out a small chuckle as you took a sip of your iced tea.

"What did you want to be when you were younger?" Fluttershy asked

"I always wanted to be a video game designer one of those guys who made a big title game that got a lot of hype and awards for praising it to be the best thing ever. But after awhile it started to fade away from me and I became a well an errand boy for Discord."

"Well at least you're a good man." She glanced at her wall clock to see that it was getting late around 10:00 PM.

"I think I better go you gotta get your sleep. Oh and if there's anything else I can do don't be afraid to ask." Fluttershy nodded as you walked out of her home and towards your home.

New York...

"Lilly you've been a very naughty girl just help me and I'll help you." Draco stated

"Fuck off I ain't helpin' you fuckers!" She shouted

"Such a mouth on a young lady." Draco slowly approached Lilly a scalpel in hand as he slowly reached her arms.

"I won't hurt you because you're special but refusing to listen isn't how things here are done either listen to me or bleed out. Your choice my dear." He said with a chuckle

Lilly's breath became erratic as she felt the blade begin to pierce her skin.

She gasped as her eyes widen a vision came to her as she shook her head. Draco noticed as he rose the blade.

"Another vision my dear?"

"A man will come and try to stop you his name is Dante Knight otherwise known as the New York City butcher." Draco smiled as he ordered his men to get ready for your arrival.

"Give the girl food." Draco stated as he walked away from the cell. The men presented Lilly with a steak Lilly had a small smirk as she didn't reveal her whole vision.
