Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.
- Aldous Huxley

On the outskirts of the small local town, also known as Ponyville. There is a small cottage built into a small hillside. This isn't a normal cottage mind you, this specific cottage houses one of the most important ponies in Equestria. Not because this individual is powerful in the sense of physical strength or in the sense of power in politics and such. This curtain individual is connected to the most powerful artifact in land's history. This artifact is known as "The Elements Of Harmony". And who is this being, you may ask... Well, its none other than the animal lover that goes by the name of Fluttershy. She is a butter coloured Pegasus with a pink mane and tail, with three butterflies as her cutie mark.

That said being, is currently tending to the chickens she has in her back garden. Humming a soft but catchy tune, this has the desired effect on the chickens. After placing down the chicken feed, and going inside the chicken coop and coming out roughly 30 seconds later, with a few eggs in a small basket. She exits the fenced in area, closing the small gate behind her. After taking the eggs inside, she comes back out to take care of the other animals she's not done already. Squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, ferrets and the like. It isn't for another hour or two thats she's almost done, with her routine. Coming up to the last one, she gingerly moves towards a small tree, just outside her property. On that tree is a small yellow wall and red roofed bird house.

After dealing with the last animal friend/(s), Fluttershy gives off a very quiet sigh in relief. Picking up the bags that holds the food for her animal friends, and placing them on her back. She heads towards her home to drop off the load, before she heads into the village / town to get more food for both her and her friends, amongst other things. Little did she know, her life was going to change for ever later today. To quote a curtain pony, a doozy is going to happen.

--------------------------------------------------- ????????????????? -----------------------------------------------

In a dark, gloomy room, there is currently a pony plotting something. The only light source coming from the tools the pony is using to make its ultimate plan. The pony looks over to a small object on the table next to it.

"It's almost Done!" Said the pony giving on a demonic smile, that would make joker envious. "Soon my creation will blow this town away! And nopony and I mean nopony, will be able to resist. Once they get a small sample of my creation! Mwwhahaha!" The pony throws its fore legs up in the air laughing evilly.

Looking over one last time to the table, the smile on the pony's face only grows, somehow defying the laws of ponies anatomy. Looking at the creation, to check it properly. The pony is rewarded with exactly what it wanted. "IT"S ALIVE!!!! MMWHAHAHHA!!!" The pony shouts in triumph.

Suddenly the lights switch on and another pony makes its presence known. Much to the surprise of the other. "Ermmm... whats alive?" comes a soft voice.

"GAHHHH!!!" The pony shouts in surprise, luckily the pony wasn't holding its creation. Getting a "Eeep" from the other pony. The pony's limbs frail about and the pony falls over the chair it was on, trying to grasp anything to not fall. But it's to no avail, the pony lands on its back, with an audible thud. Looking up to the direction of the newcomer, the pony's face goes from surprise and shock to pure happiness. "Hiya Fluttershy!"

Shielding behind her mane that drops over his right side of her face. "Oh.... ermmm.... hello pinkie. Ermm... if you don't mind me asking. But whats alive? That is.... if you want to tell me".

The one now dubbed Pinkie which happens to be pink (not really, no joke), very pink pony. Her coat is pinkie (shocker) but her mane is a darker pinkie, almost a red. But her eyes are strangely not pink, but blue. Her cutie mark is three balloons, 2 being a light blue, on level with each other, and a yellow one in the middle but a little bit higher up. "Well..... Bon bon made a new type really good candy today, and when I tried some I went *GASP* they where the best candies I have ever had in my entire Pinkie life, but that made me kind of sad, beucase sugar cube corner cupcakes are really good but not this good. Sooo good I though I better step up my game, to make cupcakes even better. So then me and bon bon could have the best candies and cupcakes in all of Equestria. But we wouldn't have the best, if I couldn't make my cupcakes any better. But I didn't know how to make the cupcakes better, because I haven't tasted a better cupcake than ours ever. But then it hit me, everything tastes better with sugar right? So I just put a little tiny bit more sugar in and a special ingredient, sorry but I can't tell you the secret ingredient because it wouldn't be a secret then would it. All I need to do now is sell them so ponies can taste the new and improved cupcakes of sugar cube corner, and once they do, they will be back for more and more and more and more. Although they were already doing that in the first place, but it should only increase, and then I can make ponies smile more often. Which is what I do, and love to do."

"I know I should be used to pinkie by now, but how did she say all that in one breath? But I didn't quiet catch all that... So I should ask her again" Fluttershy thought to herself. "Oh... okay. Well I was going home now, but seeing as I was coming this way, I though say hello"

Pinkie giggles "Hello Fluttershy. And say hello to your human for me will you". Pinkie says with a smile, that seems to be permanent.

"Huh... Ermm... Pinkie I don't have a human" Fluttershy says confused.

"What you don't? I must of read ahead of the chapter... Oops silly Pinkie" Pinkie continues to giggle.

Fluttershy decides just to put it down Pinkie being random. "I may think baby and young humans can be cute. But the grown ups" A shiver goes down fluttershy's spine They might not be as scary as dragons, but..... I still rather not be around one, unless its hurt or needs help Fluttershy thinks to herself completely forgetting she's in sugar cube corner apparently talking to Pinkie. "Hellooooo Equestria to Fluttershy anypony home in their?" Pinkie places a hoof on the unsuspecting pegasus. "EEEPPPP!"

"Ooooo imagine if you could have people living in your head. I so could use that space to put all my stuff in, so I don't have to use pinkie space all the time." Fluttershy calms down seeing it as only Pinkie.

"Well, there's no stopping her when she's like that. And besides I need to get this food back to angel can have something to eat" She thinks to herself. "Well.... Its been nice to see you again Pinkie, but I really have to go..... I mean... If thats okay with you"

Coming out of her talkative mode, Pinkie says her goodbyes to Fluttershy. On her way home, she says hello to passerby's with a smile or a nod. She is currently walking past the small lake Rainbow and Pinkie like to relax and hangout. Fluttershy herself likes to come to this particular lake because of the wildlife it attracts, ranging from small woodland creatures to bears or bigger.

KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sudden extreme loud noise makes the ground around Fluttershy to be seemly shaking in fear like the Pegasus. Looking up towards where the sound came from. The sight makes all the blood in her face drain, leaving a complete pale face. "There is something coming straight towards me. There is something on FIRE coming straight towards me. I...... I.....I GOT TO MOVE NOW!!!!! " Fluttershy tries with all her might to move, but her body will not listen to her.

The projectile is only picking up speed, and is getting hotter. Getting closer and closer to is projected "landing" spot. Fluttershy closes her eyes and waits for the impact.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"EEPPPPPP" The noise breaks the trance Fluttershy's body was in and she dashes behind the nearest tree. Looking towards the lake, the only thing she sees is a wave, that goes higher than the tree's. Fluttershy clings onto the tree for her life, and soon she is swept away by the rushing water, a good 150 yards before she comes to a sliding stop. With the water making its way either back to the lake or in any holes or slants in the terrain, she gingerly gets back up. Giving her body a quick once over, she might of gained a few scratches, very small cuts and one or two small bruises, but thankfully nothing serious or needing immediate attention.

Fluttershy decides to see what ever that was, that crashed into the lake. An action which Fluttershy rarely does, well....... on her own. She is limbing slightly on her right side, its more of an annoyance than anything. Takes her a good minute or two to reach the lake, or rather what water is left of it. More like a deep pond now. Water is still going in, but the supply of it , is slow and gradually coming to a stop. She is about to turn and go try and find the stuff she bought in the market today, because she can't see what ever it was that crashed. But something catches her eye. There is a small dart shadow under the water, and its seems to be getting bigger.

"Maybe that is, what ever crashed, and it's coming up to the surface......... Wait.... what ever crashed is coming up to..... where I am......" A shiver runs down her spine, and is about to run and fly as fast as her legs and wings can take her. But what ever it is, finally surfaces and takes a.... Deep breath for air?

Looking back, she see's a creature that she can't properly see from the distance she is at. But she spots the surrounding water around it, is turn red. "Red?............... What could possibly make the water turn.................. " Fluttershy breaks out of her inner thoughts and rushes over to it. Getting closer she can see more of its features. It turns out to be none other than a human. "OH MY GOSH!! Did the water drag you into the lake? Where did you get those injuries" She glances at the cuts, bruises and immediately forgetting her questions, and just wanting to take care of it. "Oh you poor thing..... Lets get you out of the water, before you freeze and drown! And get those injuries taken care of before its to late."

Flying across the water, she bites onto the strange clothing its in and drags it across the water to the small used to be small beach. Placing the human, very tall human, on the ground near the lake. "How did.... you... get.... some big and.... heavy" She says between breaths for air. "I'm going to have to get and get my first aid kit...... I'll be right back". She makes her way to her house, at a faster speed than normal for her. Even Rainbow Dash would be impressed.

----------------------------------------------------- FLASH FOWARD -------------------------------------------------

It didn't take long for Fluttershy to get back home, she searches frantically for her first aid kit. After a little bit, she finds her target, and rushes back out the door. Leaving a confused small white rabbit on the sofa.

After only one or two minutes, Fluttershy is just around the corner where, she had the left the injuries human. Racing threw the trees, she comes to a stop just mere inches from where she left him or her. She didn't really look at what gender is was, being it was badly injured and all. But where she should have found the human, she only found the little pool of blood the human left.

She gasps, letting going of the first aid kit handle in her mouth. Which drops to the floor and the items held within, bursts out. Looking down for a spilt seconds, she notices drops of blood going away from the small pool of blood. Following the direction the drops of blood go with her eyes. It leads to the one place she wish, oh how she wished it wouldn't lead the Everfree forest. She then executes the protocol of gasping then very quickly after, faints.
