Life Of A Human

Its 10pm on a friday, and a purple Alicorn known as twilight, is pacing around in her living room. Sounds of her clopping of hooves on wood floor could be heard into early in the mourning. Clearly trying to figure out the current dilemma. Is this new creature dangerous, what abilities does it has, what level of intelligence and so on.

The next mourning there is a loud yawn. Coming from spike, the purple and green dragon. Stumbling to the kitchen to make himself and twilight something to eat. Looking in the fridge, there a few ingredients, but not many. Go through the possibilities in his head, he decides on one of his favourite foods, and possibly virtually everyone else's, pancakes. Grabbing the necessary ingredients to make the pancakes, with his arms full the brim. He slowly but surely reaches the cooker, placing the ingredients next to the hob, but not so far. It doesn't take long for the dragon to make the meal for the both of them.

Upstairs laying in her bed in twilight, still sleeping off the very late night she had, no thanks to the new creature. She starts stirring in her sleep. (whats that smell) she thinks to herself. (is that pancakes? i really would love some off them right now. I better get up) Stretching out her legs and back, twilight finally gets out of her bed and walks to the mirror on her bedroom wall. Using the brush she got as a filly as a prize for hitting the most bottles by throwing  a ball at a tower off them. Which you only get from theme park attractions these days. It's a pure white sliver brush. You may be think that get something as expensive as that as a prize is stupid and unrealistic for theme park, but it was a special day that day, it was christmas or as the ponies call it Hearts warming. Using this brush always feels nice for twilight not just because she won it with her parents, but as well she likes the sensation of it. Getting out every knot and so forth took around 2 minutes. The smell of pancakes only gets stronger while she is waiting up more and more. After finishing her mourning toiletries, she walks down stairs to find spike just finishing the pancakes and setting them on the plates he got out.

"Morning spike, those look gorgeous! Do you want some sauce on yours?" she asks while getting out the last of sleep in her eye.

"You bet Twilight! and good morning too." Spike says as twilight puts on some sauce on for both of them. Levitating the meals over to the table, they both take there seats and dig in.

"Good as always Spike! At this rate you'll become a famous cook in the near future". Twilight says in a happy tone. Yeah spike cookings has got a lot better, but spike a cook? And a famous one at that? The thought never came to him, all though he might be able to use that to wow rarity, he thought.

"Thanks Twi, anyway you thought off anything about this monster creature thing, you told me about last night?"

"Spike... just because it's a new species and may be taller than even Princess Celestia and weird looking. Doesn't mean it's a monster, or dangerous. And besides, i can think of some pony else in this town who is a different species, different in height and weird looking"

"Oh really who?" twilight only looks at him with a *seriously* kind of look. "Oh! you mean me? Well, thanks for the ego boost twi". She can only giggle a little at her best and favourite assistant.

"Well, i'm going to go to the town hall and talk to the mayor. So we can inform the town about the creature and what she should do and not do. I'll have to admit though, this is kind of exciting!" She squeals in delight at the thought of discovering a new species. Get all her stuff needed, like quills, scrolls and the like, into her saddle bags, she heads out.

---------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE --------------------------------------------------------

"So we are agreed? We know what we need to do?" says one of the voices

"Yeah! lets hurry up so we can get this over and done with" another voice says in a higher pitch

"And ah dud like ta see Zecora again!" says a all to familiar voice

The next thing is heard is a small group inhaling very loudly and deeply until, "CUTIE MARK MONSTER FINDERS!". The fillies race out the door, and use the Scootaloo express to get to Zecora's. It don't take long to get to the edge of the everfree, they past a few ponies they knew along the way, but they didn't stop to say hello. Stopping at the edge of the forrest, and taking a look inside the forrest, is quite a scary sight, especially for children or foals as they are know here.

"Are you sure we know to go in there and not just wait for Zecora to come out?" Sweetie bell asks after taking an audible gulp.

"Well, she might know what ta monster is" says the farm filly

"Yeah! and you two are not scared are you?" the pegasus says in a joking tone. The two fillies shake there heads, and Scootaloo starts slowly edging into the everfree. Even in the day the Evreefree is scary for ponies, even thought most of the time creatures like timberwolves hunt at night, they are know to hunt in the day, but rarely. After 2 minutes of venturing deeper into the forrest, they come across a hut carved into a tree trunk. The sight is a off putting one to ponies that have never seen it before, but to the fillies is a very welcome one. The trio walk up to the door and where about to knock on the door till they heard something walk right behind them. Gulping very loudly, the slowly peer over there shoulders and see a tall figure in a cloak towering over them. The figures face is covered and the only thing you can see is glowing yellow eyes. Sweetie bell faints instantly and aplebloom and scoots hold each other while shaking wildly. This may be the end of the cutie mark crusaders, for ever!

"Hello the fillies of trio, front he town of ponyville, I welcome you and say hello" the figure says in a rhyming tune.

"Zecora!?" Scoots and applebloom say in unison.

The figure reaches up and pulls down the hoody to reveal the one the fillies where searching for, the zebra known as Zecora. The zebra smiles at the two that are still awake. "Bring her inside so i can make a brew, that will make do" Zecora points to Sweetie bell, the other two nod and pick up there fellow crusader. Placing their friend on the bed, they watch Zecora make this brew like she said she would do. The cauldron is now bubbling a blue mixture, and the zebra seems happy with the cocktail and grabs a bowl and dips into the brew. Walking over to Sweetie bell she pours it into her mouth and down her throat. Seconds later the filly starts to stir, opening her eyes she see's her friends with worried looks and Zecora with a bowl in her mouth.

"What happened? The last thing i remember is coming here and...."

"You saw me and was given quiet the scare, from my yellow eyed stare" Zecora explains.

"Why do your eyes glow yellow when you have your cloak on anyway?" ask the recently awakened filly

"My eyes glow yellow, so i can see the night creatures which make ponies bellow".

"So it lets you see in the dark?" The zebra nods and smiles. The trio of fillies look at each other and nob without saying a word. "Zecora we want to ask you something..."

-------------------------------------------------- BACK AT PONYVILLE ---------------------------------------------------

"I understand your highness, is there anything else?" the mayor asked whilst bowing.

"Now thats all mayor, and you don't have to the formalities. Can you ask if the newspapers to print this please". Thats one thing twilight doesn't like about being a princess, being treated like one with all the formalities. But being one also brings its own advantages.

"Yes, your high... err i mean yes princess twilight". Even though she didn't drop all the formalities is still a little bit better than before. Without taking anymore time, twilight walks out the town hall. "TWILIGHT!" twilight almost jumps out of her coat, looking around see spots spike running towards her holding a scroll.

"Twilight, bad news! here look for yourself" spike hands over the scroll, which twilight starts reading straight away. The shock on her face tells it all, but in order to keep calm, she uses the technique cadence told her. "Spike, please tell the others and meet me at the hospital with them when you can" Spike salutes and starts running off in the other direction of the local hospital. Instead of running to the hospital which would waste probably precious time, she teleports there instead. The nurse at the front desk is shorting out papers, unaware of her surroundings, she didn't even hear or notice the princess of magic teleport in.

"Excuse me miss, but I'm here to see a friend of mine, can you tell me which room she is in?" twilight asks

"Just a minute please! now lets see... this goes here ... and this here? no not there.... hmmm. why can't this just get a  second receptionist for this." the pony says talking to herself.

"Hello, im in a bit of a hurry here". Twilight says with a bit of frustration.

"And i said just a minute!" the nurse says with annoyance. "don't ponies these days not know how to be patient".

"Oh i don't know being the princess of magic kinds of needs you to have patience." Twilight says in an irritated toned.

"Looks like someone likes being sarcastic, can't you see I'm busy here! or do you need me to call ........" The nurse finally looks up at the pony she was talking too, and almost starts turning blue in the face. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry your highness! May I ask who you're looking for?" The nurse is praying to celestia that she in not banished or anything like that almost insulting a princess.

Twilight sighs angrily, which only makes the nurse more nervous, but as always twilight calms down using the technique. "Im looking for a filly called ......."

"Ah, she's in room 23, just down there and 2nd door on your right" the nurse says pointing down the corridor. Twilight thanks the nurse and walks to the indicated room, upon reaching the room, she hears hooves and talking behind her, turning around she see her friends. Applejack an orange earth pony with blonde mane and a stetson on her head and three apples as her cutie mark, Rarity a pure white unicorn with purple mane stylised and diamonds as her cutie mark, Fluttershy a yellow pegasus with a long pink mane and butterflies as her cutie mark, Pinkie Pie a pink earth pony with frizzy pink mane and party ballons as her cutie mark and finally Rainbow dash, probably the most noticeable pony ever with cyan coat, rainbow stripe mane and a cloud and rainbow bolt as her cutie mark. Her friends rush over to her once they see her, with spike not to far behind.

"Twilight is she ok!" Rainbow almost shouts at twilight, whilst crashing into her purple friend

"I don't know yet, i just got her. So why don't we go see for ourselves, but first can you get off me please" she says trying to calm her friend down. The cyan pegasus can only blush a little bit and with a sheepish smile, she gets of her friends while saying "Oops, my bad twi."

The group enter the room, and the immediately notice the filly on the bed with a drip in her arm and her two friends around her, with worried looks on their faces. The filly on the bed is a darker orange than applejack with a purple mane, and is a pegasus, with no cutie mark yet. Her two friends are Applebloom a yellow earth pony, red mane and a pinkie bow tied in her mane, with no cutie mark yet, and the other pony is Sweetie Bell, a white unicorn, with a little purple mane and no cutie mark either yet. Upon notching the group that has just entered the room, the two young fillies practically throw them selves at their respective sisters, crying into there sisters coats.

"Erm excuse doctor, is she going to be ok?" Twilight asks the little brown doctor. The doctor was looking at a X-ray picture off the filly, when he turns around, lets just say he wasn't not only expecting this many to be here but as well the princess of magic herself. Jumping slightly "Ahh your highness" she says trying to get back his composure and bowing. "And to answer your question, yes she is fine, well... it could of been a lot worse. She has a broken a bone in her right wing and a puncher hole in her bottom right hind leg. We have done all we could on such short notice, and she is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow morning." Thanking the doctor twilight goes over to the crying fillies.

"Are you two able to talk right now?" she asks in the nicest and calmest voice she can muster, the fillies nod and twilight smiles, trying to reassure them. "Its okay girls, but can you start from the begging please". The fillies start to tell the story of what happened.

They were going to find zecora to she if she had any information on this new monster creature, which she didn't, so they were on their way back home, till they heard something snap a twig behind them. A 5 foot wolf step out of the darkness and into the clearing the fillies where at. They ran away from the timberwolf as fast as their little legs could possibly take them, until the timber wolf bit down on scootaloo's back hind leg, which caused the filly with stop so suddenly she crashed into the ground on her wing. The screen she gave out will probably stay with them for the rest of their lives. The timberwolf was going in for the kill by going for the throat until something unexpected happened. The monster these fillies where trying to capture hit the timberwolf with a stick so hard, the wolf instantly shattered into pieces before their eyes. But the timberwolf gives out a whimper before it was sent to oblivion, which attracted more timberwolves from within the forrest. The monster that saved them picked up scootaloo in its arms and the other two fillies on its shoulders and ran the fastest it could possibly go. Adult ponies are faster than the monster probably easily, but too fillies and young colts, the monster was fast and very strong. It was more than likely stronger than pegasi and unicorn ponies, but it would more than likely be nothing to a earth pony or at least to the likes of applejack and Big Mac. But for a being being so tall, it was very surprising agile, almost as much as monkeys and apes. The timberwolves were catching up easily, there were 10 yards away when something else happened to there surprise, the monster throw them into a tree, and ran off in the other direction gaining the attention off all the timberwolves pursing them. Some time later after the fillies came around, they noticed scootaloo's condition and the two decided to get help from the nearest source they could, the black and white zebra known as zecora.

Applebloom was the quicker and stronger on the pair and rushed off to decor's whilst sweetie bell stuck with her injured friend. It only took 5 minutes for applebloom to return with zecora who was very worried understandably. Zecora had the injured pegasus on her back the group rushed towards the hospital, and along the way they ran into spike, and the rest you can tell what happened. The fillies where crying uncontrollably at the end of the story, wish that it was them who got hurt instead of scoots. The mane six look at each other with a mixture of shock, anger, worry and relief on there faces. They didn't need to say anything, but they group hugged with the two fillies in silence.

It was the filly on the bed who broke the silence and the crying and the hugging, by mimicking puking by pointing her hoof to her mouth. The group look up and she scootaloo smiling back at them, applebloom and sweetie bell are on the verge on tears again, but instead of crying them jump towards their friends and give her the best hug they could managed, even pinkie would be jealous. The orange pegasus gives out a small sound of pain and her two friends instantly stop the hugging assault.

"What happened? all i remember is the timberwolf coming out of the bushes and then darkness. And then i woke up with you lot doing mushy stuff". The pegasus says trying to lift the spirits at the end.

The two fillies two their friend what had happened, everything to from the timberwolves, to the monster to zecora. "And thats pretty much it scoots" says sweetie bell, with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. It was obvious she was relieved a lot that her friend is okay.

"So all that stuff happened? ...... wow....... so what happened to the monster and is it ok?" scootaloo asks. She only gets silence from the group confirming they not got a clue. "Well, i hopes its ok, i still got to thank it for saving me and to kicks its flanks for making me look like fool". She says chuckling at the end. "Hey, this proves its not a monster, so what do we call it now?"

The two friends ponder in thought and suggesting things, but the trio agree on "The ever free yeti". Because it kind of looks like a yeti and appears to live in the everfree. Twilight groans "Its not a yeti, its more like an ape" she says pouting her lips. The trio look to her and laugh like they haven't done in a while. The event that happened before clearly forgotten for now, twilight can only shake her head and giggle at the trio of fillies.
