A New Pony in Town

Kayti and Kaleb waited for Discord to return from his trip to warn the Princesses. Kayti was not the most patient of ponies so she was tapping her hoof and pacing and making a lot of impatient tendencies. Kaleb noticed this and laughed.

“What’s so funny?” Kayti asked with a bit of an edge.

“Oh…sorry I just think it’s cute how you’re doing those little impatient movements,” Kaleb said with a blush rising into his cheeks. Kayti tilted her head.

“You think it’s cute that I’m impatient?” Kayti asked Kaleb. Kaleb gulped.

“Umm…well…yeah…a little…I mean a lot….I mean…” Kaleb stuttered and Kayti giggled.

“I know what you mean. It’s fine,” Kayti said. She then went back to pacing nervously. “When do you think he’ll be back?” Kayti asked.

“I don’t now but probably soon. He is only going to warn the Princesses,” Kaleb said. Kayti nodded in agreement but kept pacing. Kaleb smiled at her when she wasn’t looking. He was worried too but so glad that he was spending his time with Kayti.

Kayti heard a creak upstairs and looked up.

“I’ll go check on her,” Kayti said. Kaleb nodded. Kayti went upstairs to find Fluttershy awake and teary eyed in her bed. “ "What’s wrong Fluttershy?” Kayti asked as she came up to her. Fluttershy whimpered.

“Why would any pony be this cruel? I don’t understand it,” Fluttershy said. Kayti frowned.

“I don’t know why any pony would be that cruel. You know, I was bullied when I was a filly and I asked myself why any pony would be cruel to me when I did nothing worthy of being bullied, other than be a bit different. The answer came to me. It wasn’t my fault. It’s the bullies fault. They chose to be this way and chose to have mean tendencies. It has nothing to do with us,” Kayti said.

“Why am I being punished for being kind?” Fluttershy asked sadly.

“Like I said, it’s not your fault. You know…I was bullied for being nice too. I may have been a tad bit too nice to some pony and he didn’t like me. I never said anything to him after the day that I was annoyingly nice to him. He still chose to hold that grudge. I only acted that nice because I wanted my seat back. I was kind of possessive over it because I didn’t feel comfortable sitting anywhere else. I even asked some ponies if they could scootch over and let me sit with them at certain times. They acted like I was a bug.”

“I don’t know why ponies act the way they do but usually its problems they have with family or even themselves. It’s an endless cycle of bullies. Ponies bully and then those ponies bully. I refuse to let myself act that way, no matter what any pony did to me. You refuse to do that as well. That’s why when you were unkind to Devillia; she got strength from your weakness. Bullies and villains are the same in a lot of ways. You might have been punished for being kind but that doesn’t mean you should ever change your kind ways. I did at times and I regret it. I was mean to people at times and they made fun of me more. Bullying against bullies is never the way to…” Kayti stopped and her eyes lit up.

“What is it?” Fluttershy asked weakly.

“I know how to stop Devillia! We have to go and find her!” Kayti exclaimed. Fluttershy nodded and tried to get up but fell on the floor. Kayti helped her up and put her back to bed. “You will have to stay here…we will need you however so I will come and get you when we need you. You have to rest and get your strength back though,” Kayti said. She tucked her in and ran to the door. “We’ll be back soon Fluttershy.”

Kayti closed the door and ran downstairs to find Discord and Kaleb.

“Kayti! The Princesses have been captured by Devillia! Discord tried to save them but he couldn’t do it. Devillia is so powerful that she has made the ponies of Canterlot, her slaves,” Kaleb said. Discord nodded. Kayti gasped.

“It’s okay because I know how to save them and defeat Devillia! We should head out now though. It’s only a matter of time before she gets Pony Ville ponies and the Crystal Empire ponies and…well every pony!” Kayti said. The males nodded and they headed out the door. Kayti stopped.

“What about Fluttershy? She needs some pony to look over her but we need all three of us to defeat her,” Kayti said. Discord put a security system on her cottage and lots and lots of pad locks.

“We’re good now,” Discord said with a confident smile. Kayti laughed and they all started running to Canterlot.
