My Life As A Pony

 I was deep in thought, when the purple mare I remembered as Twilight trotted over.

“Are you alright...?” she asked, concerned.

I snapped out of my thinking. “I’m fine. I’m just not sure how I got here.”

“How about we start with your name?” she smiled.

“Oh! Yeah! Sorry about that... My name’s Wolf Shy.”

Twilight cocked her head slightly. “That’s an interesting name... Wolf Shy. I’ve never heard of a name like that before.”

“Yeah... um... it’s not very common.” I mumbled awkwardly.

“Anyway! I’m going to go write a letter to the Princess. You rest up, okay?” she replied.

“Okay, I will.” I laid my head down and thought. This was all so different... no one had been that nice to me in such a long time.

As Twilight walked up to her room, she thought out loud in puzzlement. “This mare is different... She’s like Fluttershy, but also has the attitude of Rainbow Dash... I wonder what I should do? She can’t stay here forever. Maybe I’ll write to the Princess. Perhaps she knows why she fell from the sky, and what I should do next...” Spike was out doing something for Rarity, so she sighed as she realised that she would have to write it herself.  She got to her room, walked over to her desk, picked up a quill with magic and started to compose a letter to the Princess.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I’m writing to you, because there’s a new mare in town named Wolf Shy.

I saw her fall from the sky last night and found her ten minute’s gallop outside of Ponyville.

She seems different from other ponies here.

She was in pretty bad shape when I found her, but I got her all bandaged up and she’s resting now.

What should I do?

Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight grumbled. She couldn’t send the letter without Spike. She started walking down the stairs to where the strange visitor was, to check on her. She was passed out.

“She looked pretty tired when she got up, but I’m glad she’s sleeping now and feeling better...” Twilight sighed to herself. “...I should go out and get some food for tonight. I don’t think we have enough for all three of us.”

She walked past her sleeping guest to the door and left.

I woke up, to find myself alone in the house. How would I get used to this? Just as I was thinking, I heard the door open. I turned my head to see a little purple dragon with green spikes closing the door! He turned and looked right at me. I squeaked and hid my head under the blanket. I heard him chuckle a little in surprise and confusion.

“Haven’t you ever seen a baby dragon before? It’s alright, I won’t hurt you. I live here with Twilight.”

I poked my head out of the covers to look at him again. "Um... w-where did Twilight go?” I ventured shyly.

“She went out to go get food for us tonight. I’m Spike, by the way. What’s your name?” He stuck out a paw. It was scaly and had tiny claws.

“I-I’m Wolf Shy.” I hesitated a moment before I shook his paw.

"Nice to meet you, Wolf Shy!" he laughed.

I smiled and laid my head back down, as Spike walked past me upstairs.

Spike walked into Twilight’s room and noticed a scroll on her desk. He picked it up curiously, before noticing the seal Twilight only ever used when she wanted to send a letter to Princess Celestia. He grumbled good-naturedly, walked over to the open window and used his dragon-fire to send it on its way. Hearing a noise, he decided to wander back downstairs to check on.. what was her name? Wolf Shy? Something like that. He wondered where she had come from; Twilight didn’t normally let people stay in the library. Wolf Shy looked like she was deep in thought. Just as he opened his mouth to ask her something, the door opened and Twilight walked in.

“Hello again, Wolf Shy. Hi Spike! Want to come and help me make dinner?” she asked.

“Okay! Oh, by the way, I noticed your letter to the Princess. I sent it for you, too.” Spike replied cheerfully.

“Thanks, number one assistant. Heard anything back yet?" Twilight smiled.

“Nope! You’ll know when I do!”

“Of course. Come on, let’s go make dinner. We’re cooking for three tonight! You should probably stay here and rest some more, Wolf Shy. You don’t look too well,” Twilight noted.

Just as Twilight and Spike were about to trot into the kitchen, we all heard a knock on the door. Spike ran over and opened it, staring up in amazement at a very tall, very white, very beautiful, and very powerful-looking winged unicorn with a flowing pastel mane and a golden tiara.

“Princess Celestia! What are you doing here this late? Come in!” Twilight asked in confusion as the princess walked in to get a good look at me.

“I came to check on your guest, to see how she’s doing...” remarked the princess.

Oh, great, I thought. This can’t be good.
