My Marefriend is an Animal lover

The next day, I woke up and the symptoms still kept hurting. I got up and walked through the kitchen and my mom was cooking breakfast.

"Good morning, mama" I replied. "Good morning, mijo" she replied. I sat down at my table and my mother prepared food and together, we ate huevos rancheros. I grabbed my fork and started eating the eggs.

"How are you feeling?" She replied.

"So, so" I replied.

We kept eating our breakfast until my mom curiously said "does your stomach still hurts?".  And yes, It still hurts.

"Yeah, a lot" I responded.

She exclaimed me and said "Why did they beat you up?"

"Because they beat up the little girl of my age. I had no choice but to defend her. So I beat them up first, then they ran away and came back with a bigger kid to beat me up…...and you know the rest”. I told her about the story of how I rescued the little girl.

My mom was really concerned about it but at the same time proud of me. "That was the best thing to defend that little girl. I mean, who will defend her? No one. Thats why, keep doing on your actions. If not, no one remembers a coward that does not act like a gentleman. Like those idiots for example. But a kid that is a true gentleman and a man. So, be strong”. The lectures of my mother taught me was good enough for my future.

"Yes Mother, I am a man" I proudly said then my mom starts laughing and hugged me. My mom picked up her plate and grabbed my plate.

"Are you finished?" she replied.

"Yes mom, I’m finished" I responded. She grabbed my plate and went to the sink.

While she was cleaning the dishes, my mom heard a knock on the door "mijo, go check someone at the door," she said.

"Ok, mom" I responded and proceed at the door. I opened the door and I saw the little girl with the pink hair holding my ball.

"Hello, you left your ball yesterday in the park" said the girl with the pink hair. She handed the ball to me even though I forgot my ball at the park until I remembered it now.

"Thank you, how can I repay you?.." I said.

"You did.." She responded. "you helped me enough to defend me with those bullies. I thought no one was going to defend me until you showed up and rescued me, thank you.." I blushed deeply "it was my pleasure to help you..".

       Then she wanted to know my name.

"um..what's your name?.." She questioned. Then I closed the door and looked at her in the eye. "My name is Ricardo" I answered.

"Ricardo...." She repeated. So I said "what's your name?" She literarily lowered her head "fluttershy..…" she whispered. I couldn't hear her.

"I'm sorry but could you repeat that again?" Again she quietly said her name "Fluttershy.."

"Is it fluttershy?" I responded, she nodded as she meant for yes. "Hi fluttershy, it's nice to meet you.." I said. "It's nice to meet you....and can I ask you a favor?" She responded.

When she said that, my heart was beating really fast as if I needed to escape.

"Sure, what's up?” I responded.

"If you can, come join with me in the park to see animals....if that's ok with you..."  she really mean it.

I was up for the challenge "sure, I would love to watch animals with you...but first wait for me, I'll be right back".

"Ok, I will" she said.

I went inside the house, "mama, can I go to the park with the little girl?" I said.

“Is it her that she’s outside? She responded.

“Yes, mom" I said.

Then she dried her hands and said "Ok, but becareful" she said.

"Ok ma" I responded and I left the house.

"Let's go, Fluttershy."  me and fluttershy were heading to the park to see the animals.

"Um...Ricardo?.." She said.

"yes?" I said while we were walking.

"were you born here?" She questioned.  Then I nervously said "no, I wasn't born here". "Where were you born?" She responded.

"I was born in Mexico, and I just moved here like two years ago. So far, it's very peaceful".

"What happened back in Mexico?" She curiously said.

"Mexico is beautiful but not all beautiful. My family was threaten for the government for no reason and alas, we moved here for peace". Since it was so hurtful to say it, I had to spit it out.

Fluttershy was shocked  "I'm so sorry to hear that". Bad memories that I did not want to retell.

"I know..…...were you born here?" I asked.

"No, I'm from cloudsdale. Somehow my family moved in here and I have the ability to communicate animals".

"really?" I responded.

She nodded “yes, the animals that we are going to see will approach me”.

As it goes on, she kept talking about how she loved animals. I also talked about of how I liked animals back in Mexico. When we arrived at the park, I could not believe this. As fluttershy moved her left foot all the animals approached to her.

"Wow.....I've never seen anyone with that talent before..." I exclaimed.

"Come closer with me and you will see that animals will like you" she said. I listened to her and got closer to her. Then a bunny started snuggling at me. Fluttershy laughed "oh Ricardo, you look cute when the bunnies love you". I got blushed and laughed with her.

Thirty five minutes later, we decided to go home and went back to my house. Fluttershy is starting to like me and I feel that I have a friend that I can count on.

We got to my house and Fluttershy said "thanks for everything, usually I'm with my friends but now I can count on you".

"I'm really glad that we are friends" I said.

"Ok, I'll see you later" fluttershy left and waved at me.

"Ok, bye fluttershy and see ya tomorrow" I said.

"See ya tomorrow" she said and left. I got inside the house and the day passed by.
