I find a filly Fluttershy on my way home from college, and take her into my care.

Osiris finds an injured filly Fluttershy on his way home from his military college. He takes her to his home and fixes her up, and decides that it would be better for her to stay with him while she grows into a mare, but in this twist on the "My Little Dashie" fan fiction, Osiris, doesn't have any clue what Mlp is until he takes Fluttershy home.

Chapter 2: Raising Kindness

While Fluttershy was sleeping I did research on her to know what to expect.

It was now three A.M. on Saturday, so I made my way to the kitchen, and did what little dishes were there.

Since the washing was mostly just minimal manual labor with little to no brain power involved I was left to my thoughts as my mind roamed on the recent events.

I was doing great in college until my car just had to become the POS that it is now, and now I have an adorable and extremely cute filly pony in on my couch.

I don’t know if yesterday was a blessing, or a curse to me. I had a crappy day, but then found something that I don’t even know how it will affect me. Fluttershy is probably going to be a small problem, but I think I can work around that.

I pull my hand out of the water for a knife had sliced open the back of my hand.

I hiss as my blood starts to pour. I rush to the med kit that I left on the counter, and open it. I take out the hydrogen peroxide and the med gauze before moving back to the sink.

I basically rip the cap off of the hydrogen peroxide, and dump a bit over my cut. I clench my teeth from the intense stinging that comes from my cut being cleaned before I run the warm water over my hand, and rinse the peroxide out of my cut.

I then start wrapping my hand in gauze quickly, but neatly before I tie a knot, and sigh in relief.

“God that hurt.” I say quietly as to not wake the heart attack in the other room. I obviously wasn’t quiet enough; for Fluttershy was at the kitchen thresh hold looking at me with tears in her eyes.

I slowly walk over to her before I kneel down, and look her over. She still has a sleepy look in her eyes, but now had a new fear to them.

She must have had a nightmare.

“Did you have a bad dream?” I ask her softly. She nods with a barely audible whimper.

“Would you like me to rock you to sleep?” I ask her. She nods again, so I slowly scoop her up into my arms, and start to gently rock my arms to and fro.

After a few minutes of rocking Fluttershy to sleep, I slowly make my way back into my front room, and set her on the couch.

I tuck her in before I sit down in my recliner, and doze off.

The next day

I wake to a weight on my lap. When I open my eyes to see what was there, I see Fluttershy curled up, and sleeping.

She must’ve had another bad dream, and just decided to sleep in my lap for comfort. I smile at the sight, but then remember that I am to be caring for her, so I look at my watch, and see that it is an hour before sunrise.

I decide to wait for Fluttershy to wake up. She was sleeping with the most adorable light snore ever.

After a few moments Fluttershy wakes with an overly cute yawn.

“Good morning sleepy head.” I say gently to her. She jumps a bit, but then calms when she sees me.

“Would you like some breakfast?” I ask her. She yawns again, and nods her head yes.

“Well, let’s go get some food then.” I say before I pick her up in my arms, and carry her into the kitchen with me.

I set her down on the counter, and pull out some fruit before getting a knife, and cutting them up.

*-&^&-*

It has been a couple years now. I had somehow managed to finish college while taking care of Fluttershy, and she has grown a bit. I estimate that she is about seven years old now, and she can now talk… kinda.

She is extremely shy around me, but she is slowly getting over it.

On a different note, I now have a job as a local mechanic. I got hired into an auto shop in the town nearby. We still live in my small house, but now my car at least runs like it should.

Fluttershy knows that she is different, but doesn’t seem to mind, or at least I think she doesn’t. She knows she isn’t of this world, but she doesn’t have any memories from her previous life as an element of harmony.

Yes, I now know all about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic because I had to know about her kind to raise her correctly. I’ve kept the show from her, as well as television all together, but I know one day she will find out, and I fear for that day, but I am more focused on now rather than when.

Today Fluttershy had learned to fly. She can only fly very short distances for now, but she managed a great take off, and a meager landing. Meager as in I had to catch her.

She was very happy that she actually flew, but we then found another fear of hers. She is terrified of heights. That was part of the reason why I had to catch her. She got ten feet from the ground, and her wings snapped shut. She then couldn’t open them for the rest of the day.

But it was still cause for celebration, so I went to the local pet store, and got her a kitten as congratulations on her first flight.

She opened right up to the small animal, and it did the same to her. The kitten was a tabby cat with green eyes, and a black and pink nose.

Fluttershy named it Snuggles.

That night when I was tucking Fluttershy into bed she said something that made me pause for a good few moments.

She had said, “Goodnight… daddy.”

My heart was thundering in my chest, and my eyes had widened. She called me Daddy. This was a massive bonding moment for me and her, for she had labeled me as her father.

My mind thought of something quickly, so I bent over Fluttershy, kissed her forehead, and said this.

“Goodnight my little Fluttershy.”

The next day was another day to celebrate for my little Fluttershy had earned her cutie mark. I had to explain it to her, and when she understood she was overly happy for it.

As another celebration I asked her if she would like another pet, and she told me she would like a bunny, so I drove back to the pet store, and bought her a white bunny that she named Angel.

We found that Fluttershy’s special talent was to be great with animals, and she was just the right pony for that talent.

*-&^&-*

Today was horrible. It has been another few years, and Fluttershy is now ten years old. I’m guessing she is getting close to full size at around three and a half feet tall, but I can’t be sure.

Back to why today was horrible.

I was at work, and I had finally let Fluttershy have a television when she was eight since I thought she was old enough. It was the biggest mistake, ever.

I had returned from work to hear these words in my Fluttershy’s voice.

“HOW DARE YOU?!” It was the line from the episode Dragon Shy. It was at the scene where Fluttershy would stand up to a dragon after it harmed her friends.

Fluttershy had her focus on the screen, and hadn’t heard me enter my home.

I fell to my knees from the sadness in Fluttershy’s eyes as she watched the show.

Angel had noticed me, and tapped Fluttershy with his paw then pointed at me.

Angel you little shit.

“How…*whimper*… How long?” She asks me. My heart broke at her sorrow.

“Since I found you, I didn’t know at first, but I had to know how to care for you.” I tell her. Tears are streaming down her face.

What she did next caught me off guard. She ran. She ran out the front door with her pets following her.

I stood there in shock, and now heartbreak, for what I had done to my daughter. Tears are openly streaming down my face as I stare out the open door.

After a few minutes my mind kicks back into gear, and I stand up on my feet before rushing outside to see if she actually entered the forest.

She did, and I couldn’t see her. By god I hope she is okay.

She probably hates me now, and I deserve it all. I had hidden the truth from her, and she had found out on her own with no one there to help her see the reason why.

I am an idiot for doing this. I should’ve told her sooner, but I thought she was still too young to understand.

It is now midnight, and I am stressing on where my little filly was. Is she okay, is she injured again, can she find her way back, and will she even want to come back?

These questions were flying through my mind at a rapid pace, and I couldn’t stop them. The next thing I know is that I am outside with my shotgun in my old NCU ready to enter the forest to find her.

*-&^&-*

It has been a week since I entered the forest in search of my daughter, and I had returned home without her. My heart was dead now.

I had all but given up hope of her return, and am now sitting in my front room with my head in my hands. My tears have all been shed, and now I could only wallow in my sorrow.

I hadn’t moved for the past three hours as I worry over Fluttershy.

There is a thump at the front door, and I jumped from the sudden sound.

Thinking someone had sent me some mail. I get up, and slowly make my way to the door. I open the door, and see a cat on my porch, but I see the bright green eyes.

“Snuggles?” I ask aloud. The cat meows at me before walking down the stairs, and then looking back at me.

She must be trying to lead me to Fluttershy.

I slowly make my way down the front steps of my home, and start to follow Snuggles into the forest. Snuggles would run ahead a few yards, stop, and let me catch up before running ahead again, and repeating the process. It was a few hours of following the cat into the forest before we came to what seemed to be a small gathering of animals.

Snuggles runs up to the group of forest animals, and a small fox looks at me, and then looks back at the rest of the animals before they all move to let me see what they were guarding, or watching.

What I saw made tears roll down my face as relief filled my thoughts, and then I took a step forward.

“Fluttershy?” I ask softly to the sleeping pony that was cuddled with a few animals to keep warm.

She moves in her sleep before slowly sitting up, and sees me. She blinks a few times before her eyes widen in surprise.

She leapt at me, and tackled me to the ground yelling “Daddy!” While she did so.

I held her close to me, and stroked her mane, her soft silk like pink mane.

I could feel her shuddering as she silently cries into my chest.

“Are you okay my little Fluttershy?” I ask as fresh tears run down my face as happiness fills my heart once more.

“I-I-I c-c-couldn’t find my way b-back home, it was so scary!” She sobs into me. This made my heart shatter again. She had lost her way home, and I had given up on searching for her.

“I’m so sorry Fluttershy. I shouldn’t have given up my search for you.” I tell her as I tighten my embrace on her.

“N-n-no, I shouldn’t have run away.” She replies. This causes me to smile a little as she is always so selfless, but that is one of the things that I love about my daughter.

I was a few minutes of us holding each other close before we both calmed down.

“Dad?” Fluttershy asks me.

“Yes my little girl?” I reply. She giggles a little.

“Can we go home now?” She asks me. I chuckle a little bit before I let go of her.

“Yes, as long as Snuggles still knows the way.” I tell her. She gets up and off of me before we both start to follow snuggles back out of the forest, and back to our home.

*-&^&-*

It has been five years since that day, and we had only gotten closer since then. We had moved out of that small old house, and we both decided that we wanted to live farther into the forest.

So two years after our separation I went into the forest, and built a large one floor log cabin with the help of Fluttershy, and her animal friends.

You wouldn’t be able to laugh hard enough at the thirty beavers she found to help me cut down trees, and the six bears she recruited to help me move the lumber. I nearly shit myself when she brought them to me.

So we now live in a nice cozy log cabin ten miles away from any city, and I had raised enough money from my mechanics job to by five miles of land in any direction around us so that we wouldn’t have any unexpected visitors like hunters, and hikers.

I didn’t have a property fence, but I did have signs put up that there is to be no hunting at all inside my land.

Now back to the now.

I had managed to get electricity, and pluming out to our house after two more years, and had managed to keep Fluttershy a secret throughout the construction by getting a couple of bears to care for her.

I was on my toes the entire time the construction was going, but we managed to keep her a secret.

Over the years I had managed to buy a Barret fifty caliber rifle as a Christmas gift from Fluttershy, and I had gotten her another pet. This time I got her a pet canary. She didn’t name this one, but loved it all the same.

Now it is July sixteenth, and we are getting ready to go on a small camping trip in the forest to see some of Fluttershy’s fox friends.

I was getting my hiking pack ready when there was a knock at our door.

“Um… what are we going to do?” Fluttershy asks me.

“Go to your room while I see who it is. It might just be another hiker or hunter asking for directions again.” I tell her with a smile. She nods her head before going to her room. Once her door was shut I grabbed my shotgun, and headed to the door.

“Who’s there?!” I call through the door.

The voice that answered was motherly, yet very stern.

“I think you know who it is. May we come in?” The female voice asks.

Author's Note

Sorry that it took so long to get this chapter up. I had schoolwork to do, and family matters to attend to. Anyways, we're closing in on the nd of this story, but I expect there to be at least one more chapter, but if you guys would like a sequel I need toknow otherwise it will get put off for a few months for I need to work on my other stories Like CotN, and TSAoE. SO until next time my fair readers.

Chapter Three: Protecting Kindness

“May we come in?” The female voice asks. I knew who that voice belonged to, and I was now starting to get angry, but I knew what needed to be done if I was to stay with my daughter.

“Yes, but hold for a minute while I prepare for what is going to happen your majesty.” I say through the door. I don’t get a reply so I walk to my room and retrieve my shotgun before heading back to the door.

I cock my shotgun before I put it down on the floor next to my chair. I return to the door, and undo the seven deadbolts I have on it before I open it a crack to see if Celestia is really there, and close my eyes as she is indeed there along with the other Elements of Harmony.

I back away from the door, and open it to let the ponies into my home.

“Get yourselves inside before someone sees you, and please close the door whoever is last inside.” I say as I head to my chair, and grab my shotgun, resting it on my lap.

Celestia strolls into my home elegantly, and walks to the front of the mantle before sitting down. The other ponies with her, sit in a semicircle around her facing me.

“So, may I see Fluttershy?” Twilight asks me.

“That depends on a few answers from all of you first, but until I get my answers I will keep her in her room, and protect her with my life. I know what happened with Rainbow over there was an accident that none of you remember because of a certain goddess that is in my home, but for now, let’s talk.” I say with my eyes closed.

“Sir, there is no reason for you to be armed right now.” Celestia tells me. I open my eyes in a glare at her. I put my hand on my shotgun’s grip, and hold it there.

“I highly doubt that in my mind. Let’s see you without any magical abilities, have six unknown people enter your home, some looking at you with boredom. I have a very good reason to be armed in my home.” I growl at the end of my sentence for emphasis. This gets a collective gasp out of all the ponies into the room.

“Sir, please calm down, we are here because of an accident that has happened-” I raise my hand to stop the solar Princess.

“Celestia, save it please.” I tell her in a slightly nicer tone, “I know what happened. Your student screwed up a spell that involved something with Fluttershy’s talent, and sent her here for some short amount of time, while it has been years here in my world.” This gets another gasp out of the ponies.

“How do you know about this?” Twilight asks me. I look at her with a dead panned stare.

“It’s not hard to figure out.” I tell her, “Now, please tell me what you screwed up this time Twilight, and yes I know all of your names, I know plenty of things about you all.” I tell them.

“I was helping Fluttershy tend to her animals when an Ursa Minor came into view, I had to put it back into the forest with my magic, but something was wrong. The Ursa was ill, and caused my magic to fluctuate and it engulfed Fluttershy and sent her here.” She tells me. I nodded slowly.

“Now I believe is a good time to let us see Fluttershy.” Celestia says. I look to the regal pony in my home for a few seconds before getting up with my shotgun, and walking down a hall.

I knock on Fluttershy’s room door, and open it. I had always done this, so it wasn’t a surprise to her.

“Fluttershy, it is time to come see some people that are here for you.” I tell her. She looks up at me from her laying position with her pets before seeing my shotgun, and nodding.

She follows me out into the room, and sits on my lap when I sit in my chair.

“Fluttershy!” Pinkie Shouts before tackling my daughter off of me. I immediately stand up, and tear Pinkie off of my daughter, and toss her back into her spot before guarding my daughter.

I glare at her, and she shies away from me.

“Dad, I’m okay.” Fluttershy quietly tells me. I turn around, and pick my daughter up off of the ground before returning to my chair.

“As a warning I will tell you once: Touch her again, in any way, and I will show you how bad this weapon can be to any of you.” I warn the ponies in my home.

“You wouldn’t dare harm us.” Rarity says. I glare at her.

In an answer I aim at a vase that I had always wanted to use as target practice, and pull the trigger of my gun.

The shotgun roars and the vase shatters with holes in the wall behind it. The vase was directly behind Rarity, and she very quickly shut up.

“Don’t try my patience. I let you all in my home out of kindness, but I will not let my daughter be taken from me while I breathe, and my heart beats.” I tell them all as I cock my gun again, this time the spent round ejects from the firing chamber out onto the ground to the side of my chair.

“Now, I guess you all have some questions, so I’m going to let you all ask them.” I say with a small smile as I see that I have their attention now that they know what my weapon can do. Even Pinkie was silent.

“Go ahead and ask, and I will be truthful.” I say as I set my gun down.

Just as I let go of my gun it is taken from me, and I smirk.

“You really think I don’t have a backup?” I ask Celestia. She raises her eyebrows at me with a glare in her eyes as she breaks my shotgun.

“Fluttershy, if you would be so kind my dear.” I say as I hold out my right hand. She nods, and pulls out a pistol clip and an unloaded Desert Eagle from her mane before putting it in my hands.

“Thank you my little girl.” I say as I slide the clip into the pistol, and put a round in the chamber.

I keep the gun in my hand before nodding for someone to ask something.

“Oh, oh, I have a question!” Pinkie says as she raises her hoof.

“Go ahead Pinkie.” I tell her.

“Can I throw you a party?” She asks me.

“Not now, but maybe later.” I tell her.

“Okay.” She says with a large smile.

“Anyways, anyone else?” I ask.

Twilight raises her hoof. I nod to her, and she clears her throat.

“Why are you so keen on protecting Fluttershy from us, when she doesn’t belong in this world?” Twilight asks me.

“I need some information before I can answer that with an actual answer, so tell me how long she has been gone in your world real quick.” I reply with less anger in my voice.

“About fifteen days, why?” She asks.

“Just as I suspected. You see, I found Fluttershy fifteen years ago in these very woods, but she was a little filly, and didn’t have any of her previous life’s memory, so I took her in and raised her as one of my own, and now you are trying to take her away from me. I won’t let that happen.” I reply with a nod as I pet Fluttershy with my left hand, since my right one was holding my gun.

“Are you sure it was that long?” She asks me. I give her a deadpanned look.

“No, it was only three hours, and she gained fifteen years of age in that amount- YES I’M SURE!” I shout at her, causing Fluttershy to squeak in fear. I sigh before taking a few deep breathes. Fluttershy slowly relaxes in my lap.

“Sir, can I ask her a question?” Celestia asks me. I shrug.

“I don’t think that is my choice. You can ask her all you want, but it is up to her to answer.” I reply.

“Okay, Fluttershy, do you know who any of us are?” Celestia asks.

“No.” Fluttershy tells her with a small shake of her head. I see Rarity raise her hoof.

“Yes Rarity?” I ask her.

“May I know where the little filly’s room is?” She asks me. I nod a couple times.

“Yes, and Fluttershy can you show her there please?” I ask her. She nods before getting up off of me, and showing Rarity out of the front room, and down a hallway.

“Okay, now I can give you these two options. Both are fairly simple, and if you refuse and try to take her by force I will start killing you all with one bullet each. Will you listen Celestia?” I ask.

“Since I wish to avoid death yes.” She tells me.

“Okay, so here are the options. First you leave her here with me, and never return unless you need her for an emergency. Second you bring me back with you to live with her. I don’t care if I have to be turned into a pony to go, but I will go with her if you so choose that option.” I tell her.

“What makes you think you can ask these things of the Princess huh?!” Rainbow Dash asks me as she flies up to my face.

“Because I can easily kill all seven of you with this weapon.” I tell her as I put it up to the bottom of her jaw, and pull the hammer back.

“Now please be ever so kind, and get out of my face.” I tell her. She swallows a lump in her throat before landing, and walking back to her seat.

Right as I sit back into my chair Fluttershy returns and sits next to me. I smile to her with a small smile. She returns it with a sad smile of her own.

“Now Princess, What is your choice?” I ask her. She seems to be in deep thought still. I give her time before I stand up with Fluttershy and head into the kitchen.

“Are any of you hungry?” I call into the front room.

“Yes, but you don’t have to feed us sir.” Twilight replies. I just chuckle before I set the gun down next to me and open the fridge, pulling out a few carrots, along with apples, oranges, a couple heart fruits that I figured out how to grow, and last but not least a few cans of mountain dew, along with a decaffeinated one for Pinkie, since she doesn’t need any more energy.

I return to the front room and hand out the food to everyone before heading back and grabbing my handgun and sitting in my chair.

“What are these fruits? I aint ever seen ‘em before.” Apple Jack says as she holds up one of my heart fruits. I smile as I recall how I grew those.

“Those are what I call heart fruit. They are a cross breed of apples, and dragon fruit. They have a unique taste, but they are also able to make a delicious juice.” I tell her. The heart fruit was a vivid pink, and had an apple stem in the small divot at the top, and had the texture of a dragon fruit.

“Cross bread? You mean to tell me that you mixed the two fruits together?” Apple Jack asks. I nod my head as I bite into one that was a deep red. I smile as the unique flavor soaks my tongue.

“Thank you for these delightful fruits.” Rarity says as she finishes her heart fruit. I smile and nod to her.

“I try my best not to be rude to guest, until they try to take something or someone dear to me.” I say aloud to all of the other ponies in the room.

“Sir, I have made my decision.” Celestia says as she stands up. I stand as well, but block her from Fluttershy.

“I’m listening.” I tell her with a nod.

“You can put the weapon away, for you won’t be needing it where you going.” She tells me. This causes Twilight to choke a little on her drink.

“But Princess, you said that he couldn’t exist in our world.” Twilight says.

“That is true Twilight, bit that would be if he was still human when he got there.” Celestia replies as she lights her horn. I growl, and take aim at Celestia.

“There is no need for that. I’m just turning you into a pony sir.” She tells me.

“Very well, but could you make me a pegasus?” I ask as I toss my gun onto my chair.

“Yes.” She says before her magic takes hold of my body.

All my nerves go numb, before I see myself starting to change. First my body shrunk, and my head grew. I couldn’t feel my bones, but I knew they were rearranging I then felt a slight pinch come from my back, and knew that my wings just grew. I then felt my skin warm up a bit, and watched as my fur grew in as a dark yellow, almost gold color. I then feel my head, and rear start to itch, and guessed that my main and tail were growing. When Celestia set me down from her grasp I look to my tail to see a bright vivid red.

“There… is one thing… I couldn’t change… too much.” Celestia says as she breathes heavily. I furrow my brows a bit.

“What would that be?” I ask before I bring a hoof up to my mouth from my new voice. My voice was now much smoother than it was before, and was slightly higher pitched.

“I couldn’t change your eye color.” She replies after she caught her breath. I nod a couple times.

“That is not of concern to me.” I reply as I try to take a step forward, only to trip over my feet… um hooves, and end up on the floor. I hear Rainbow Dash burst into laughter. I slowly manage to get back up onto my… hooves.

“Okay, I’m going to try that again.” I say before I slowly move my right front hoof forwards, and plant it on the floor, and then slowly move forward towards the other side of the room. As I made my way around the room I manage to get to a regular walking speed.

“Alright, I think I got it down.” I say before I sit on my haunches.

Chapter 4: The end of Kindness, but the Begining of a new Life

“Are you both ready to leave?” Celestia asks us. I look to her, and shake my head.

“No, I have an item that I will not leave behind.” I say before I head down my hallway and into my room before opening my bedside table’s drawer. I pull out the one thing that I had with me when I was in the orphanage.

The owners of the orphanage had found me with a necklace around my tiny hands. It was a simple black silver chain with a small winged amethyst sword at the end of it. It was the first and only thing that I truly called mine, and I made sure I kept it, even if I had to resort to violence to keep it. I treated it like it was a piece of my soul. Kept it in mint condition with my own money, and work.

I put it over my head, and around my neck before heading back out into my front room.

“Now I am ready. What about you Fluttershy?” I ask my daughter.

“Could I bring my pets with me?” Fluttershy asks Celestia.

“I’m sorry, but if I use my magic to change anymore creatures to survive in our world I won’t be able to get us all there safely, but if you wish to say goodbye to them, now is the time.” Celestia replies. I could tell this was going to be a problem, so I look to Fluttershy. She was sad, but not crying sad.

“I’ll be back soon.” Fluttershy says as she heads to her room with her head down low.

“Sir, we’ll need to name you when we get to Equestria, so you should start thinking of a name.” Twilight tells me.

“I already have thought of one. What do you all think about Gold Torch?” I ask them all.

“It fits.” says Celestia with a smile.

“Seems cool.” Dash says as she looks me over.

“Yay! Now I can throw you a par-tay!” Pinkie shouts with a hoof pump of success, or happiness. I smile at her antics before looking to Rarity.

“I think that name suits your pony body perfectly darling.” She tells me with a small smile.

Twilight got cut off by Fluttershy slowly walking back into the front room. She came right up to my side, and threw her arms around me before bursting into silent tears. I shared her sorrow as I had come to love the animals that would visit us, as well as protect us. It was a humbling moment for me and my daughter for us to watch as Celestia lights her horn in a brilliant golden hue, and then see our home be replaced by an open field that had a small cottage in the distance.

I had a sad smile on my lips from the scenery, but I sat there consoling my daughter while her sadness ran out of her in tears, and quiet whimpers.

Suddenly a herd of many animals come from the cottage and surround me and Fluttershy.

The animals all saw Fluttershy, and group hugged us until her tears were gone replaced by wonder at how many animals we had surrounding us.

“Welcome home… my little Fluttershy.” I say quietly to my daughter.

Author's Note

And that is the end of this story, but not the end of this tale. The sequel is still a long way off and will be about Gold Torch, so until next time my fair readers.

Chapter 1: Finding Kindness

Bullying, teasing, fear of the unknown. These are the traits that had driven me to join the military. I had been bullied while in the orphanage for having red irises, and slightly better physical abilities than the other kids. I was teased about myself in any school that I attended, and then when I was finally old enough to live alone, I was jumped in an ally way because of who I am.

Now I am nineteen, and in the Navy cadet college. I live in a small two bedroom home that is in the middle of nowhere, but I still live close enough to drive to the college every day.

I drive a very old black AE86, but it was a POS car. It did what I needed it to do, but other than that, and it would cut out, and die.

I was now pushing my car home as it died as soon as I got onto my long as hell driveway. I grunted as my car goes over a bump, and stops moving.

“Really you POS?” I ask aloud. I then start to push on the car again, and it doesn’t budge. I step away from my vehicle, and run my hand through my bright blonde hair.

*CRACK*

I look into the forest around me for what made the noise. I then hear a whimper from the other side of my vehicle behind one of the trees. I reach inside my car for my revolver, and slowly step around my car.

“Hello? Are you okay?” I ask. I hear a small eep. I then move around the tree and see a small animal. I pocket my revolver, and slowly get closer. The pony, as a I look at it, seems to shy away from me, but I then look her over, and see that it’s hoof it bleeding.

“Oh my.” I say as I slowly see it try to run, but it falls, and then curls up. I walk over the pony, and pick it up. The pony is very light, and only about the size of a small child. The pony freezes up, in most likely fear.

I start lightly petting it, and she, as I check, slowly calms down. I slowly make my way back to my POS car, and set her down on the passenger seat before I wrap her up in my navy jacket.

It isn’t the warmest of clothing, but it was enough to take away the chill from the air of the northern Washington air.

I sit down in the driver’s seat, and turn the keys so the electronics in the car turn on. I turn off the radio before I push the clutch and the brake in before I turn the key, trying to start my car.

The engine turning over startles the pony, but a firm hand from me clams her instantly. She still shivers in fear though.

I turn the key again, and the engine finally starts. I smile and rub the steering wheel with happiness. I put the car in gear, and slowly start driving back to my home, while keeping the butter yellow pony calm.

I eventually pulled into my small garage, and kill the car before picking up the pony. I was startled by the wings on the pony that flare when I held her to me, and then I got out of my car, and walk into my home.

I set the pegasus down on the loveseat before I look at her hoof again. She just curls up, and lays her head down shaking in confusion, and fear. I see that her hoof is still bleeding, so I move into my kitchen, and retrieve the medical kit I have in there.

“Okay, I’m going to help make your hoof feel better.” I say quietly as I open the kit, and take out some disinfectant in a pressurized can.

“This is going to sting a bit.” I say to the small filly pegasus before I lightly grab her hoof, and spray the cleansing liquid on the wound. It starts bubbling, and the filly pulls her hoof back. I lightly, but with enough grip, grab her hoof, and pull it back. I blow on it, and I can tell it helped a bit.

I then pull some small paper towels from my kit, and gentle dab the disinfectant out of her cut. I then take out some medical gauze, and wrap her hoof up snuggly before tying a knot in the gauze, and cutting it loose from the roll. I then close the med kit, and look back to the pegasus with slight worry.

“Is that better now?” I ask her, not expecting a respo-

HOLY SHIT SHE NODDED HER HEAD!! I yell at myself in my thoughts.

“C-can you understand me?” I ask her. She cringes at my voice’s volume, but nods her head again.

I look into her bright teal eyes, and see intelligence behind them. I then take in her appearance. I see that her coat color is a bright butter yellow, and she has a long pink mane/tail. Her wings look to be weekend from lack of use, and she is slightly scruffy. Most likely from being in the forest around my home.

She has a few twigs in her mane, and tail from the forest, so I gently remove them.

I then look her in the eyes again, and see fear, and confusion.

“Are you okay?” I ask her. She lets out an adorable meep, but nods.

“Good. Now, can you speak?” She tilts her head to the side. I almost face palm at my stupidity, but refrain from it as to not scare her.

“Are you hungry?” I ask her. She shakes her head no, but then I hear a light growl come from her stomach. I see a tint of red color her muzzle before she nods her head slightly and attempts to hide behind her mane. My heart melts at the sight of her shyness.

I slowly stand up, and make my way to my kitchen. I start to wonder what she could eat. She is part horse, but she might have a different diet because of what she is, a pegasus.

I shrug before I open my fridge, and pull out a few fruits and vegetables. I put them on a cutting board, and cut them down the bite size pieces. I put a small handful onto a small plate, and take it out to the small filly on my couch.

I set it down next to her, and she looks at it, then to me.

“Go ahead. Eat up. I’m not going to let you starve in my home.” I tell her softly with a smile, but on the inside I was thinking what the hell I was going to do with her. She was sapient, and had wings. She also was an unnatural color, so I did what any other adolescent male would do.

I grabbed my laptop, and went onto the internet to search up what the hell to do.

I first googled filly yellow pegasus, and it shows me a picture of a cartoon character named Fluttershy. This confuses the hell out of me, so I then search up the name Fluttershy, and the cartoon show’s name comes up as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, along with other brightly colored ponies.

I then quickly powered the laptop down, before I set it off to the side, and looked at the filly slowly eating next to me.

“Is your name Fluttershy?” I ask her. She blinks a few times before looking to me, and nodding. I shrug it off for her to continue eating, but I was freaking out on the inside.

HOW THE HELL IS A CARTOON CHARACTER HERE ON EARTH?! AS FOR THAT, WHY THE HELL IS SHE IN MY HOME?! My mind was flying through thoughts at light speed, trying to make sense of how she was even here, but then I look to the filly in question, and see that she is now finished with her food, and was huddled away from me.

I sigh, and look back at the wall on the other side of the front room. I then stand up, and sigh again.

I might as well take care of her while she is here. I’m not one to leave someone out on the streets like my parents did to me.

I then hear the filly quietly yawn, so I look to her, to see that she had curled up, and fallen asleep. I about died from her cuteness before I went to my room, and retrieved a blanket for her to use.

As I drape the cover over the filly, a thought came to mind.

If I turn her in she will be killed, and studied like a rat.

It was then that I made a decision that will change my life greatly. I am going to keep her, and raise her into a strong mare.

Author's Note

I know, I know. Stop making so many damned stories, and focus on one, but I just had to do this one. I noticed that most of the My Little Dashie spin offs are of Rainbow Dash, or Twilight, but I didn't see many Fluttershy ones, so I decided to make one, and I think that I need some bronies to read this, and rip my heart out with what is wrong so far.

I would love the criticism, and as always. Thank you for reading.
