Shit! She found me! A yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail, and... a butterfly tattoo on her butt? She is looking at me strangely. Wait, differing species or not I would recognize that body language anywhere! She is scared, so she knows that I am dangerous! I have not only been spotted, but this Pegasus must have already figured out what I am after!

"Don't be scared, I'm Fluttershy. I heard shouting, are you alright?"

She is asking me not to be scared? The poor thing is shaking like a leaf. It looks like any moment now she is just going to die of a heart attack. 'I almost feel bad about having to kill her. Haha, almost.' My thoughts were interrupted as Fluttershy's eyes locked onto mine.

*Gasp* "You're hurt!"

It was only after she said this that I noticed the feeling of something wet on my forehead. Reaching up to touch it, I wince as my hand pulls away to reveal blood. 'Huh, that tree managed to injure me, but at least I gave as good as I got.' Clenching my fist with a determined look on my face I thought, 'if only I understood plant. I would be enjoying the tree's screams of agony right now.'

Meanwhile, back at the tree; ["I swear guys, that weird monkey thing attacked me with its face! It was self-defense!"]

["Yeah, that is what they all say! Just you wait, when I grow over there you are going away for a long time."]

["NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!]

Now that we are done with that nonsense, back to the murderous psychopath; To my surprise, I found the determined look mirrored by the suddenly not-so-shy Fluttershy.

"Don't worry, I have a first-aid kit at my cottage. Just come with me and I will have you all better in no time!"

.......

What? Wasn't she terrified of me just a second ago? Is she really going this far for some stranger over some slight bleeding? It has to be a trap, but then where did all of her fear just go? If she did know about my plans and it was a trap, she would likely be terrified at the thought of me catching on, so where did the sudden boost of courage come from? I am so confused! Voices! Help me! What should I do!?

.............

Again, WHAT!? Why are the voices silent? They have NEVER been silent! No suggestions, no internal arguing, no whispers of jovial carnage, no nagging conscience. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!? Am I... Am I losing my insanity? But I don't WANT to be sane! They were sane, and look at where that got Them! I don't want to be like *Them!*** During my internal rant, I had not even noticed that Fluttershy had already gotten me to her cottage. Apparently I was practically a walking vegetable running on muscle memory during my little episode, as we were nearing her front door by the time I realized she was holding my hand in her mouth. 'What? Ew, that is just unsanitary! I have no idea what she puts in her mouth, and she has even less of an idea as to what I put my hands on!' Thankfully she removed my hand from her mouth as she opened the door. I wipe my hand on my pants as she pulls out, sure enough, a first-aid kit, and starts to clean the wound on my head before wrapping it tight. 'A little excessive isn't it? It couldn't have been that bad, right?'

"You poor dear, it looks painful. No need to worry, I take care of lots of animals already! What's one more?"

.....

"WHAT!?"

"Aaah! You can talk!"

"Shut up, not happening, breaking the Fourth Wall!"

"Whats the-"

Before she could finish, I reach into my pants and pull out my giant hammer... I mean an actual giant hammer, damn pervs. With a mighty swing and a loud cracking noise, time slowed to a complete stop, the surroundings took on a grey hue, and a large crack floated in the air as though reality itself was broken, because it was.

"Narrator! Explain!"

Well, it seemed to be popular, so I just-

"NO! Nuh uh! None of that! The entire premise is stupid beyond belief! She would have to be completely retarded to confuse me for a mindless animal!"

Well that isn't very fair, what about how they have never seen a Human before?

"Then were would I have gotten clothes?"

Maybe she thought you were someone's pet?

"A completely unknown creature walks out of what is arguably the most dangerous place is the world, fully clothed, holding a book, and she confuses me for a pet."

Well, when you put is like that-

"Not to mention the fact that, while it might have been a viable story plot under some circumstances, these ponies know that there is much of the world they do not know about, AND the world has several other intelligent species, which completely destroys the entire idea all on its own! If the ponies where the only dominant species, I could see this working, but as is? It is just stupid to portray them like this. Xenophobic? sure, the incident with the Zebra proved that, but they still knew Zecora was intelligent."

But Zecora is still equine like them, and Humans are unlike anything they have ever seen. Wait, how do you know all of th-

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! Nothing like Humans? What about Minotaurs? They even have a Centaur! That is most of a Human right there! They also did not need Rainbow to tell them that Gilda was not a mindless animal, despite never seeing a Griffon before, and she doesn't even wear clothes!"

They might have already known about those creat-

"They did not even know Zebras existed. Wait, *Gasp* Narrator! Are you using me to bash other people stories!? I thought you were better than that!"

Take it up with The Author. He is the one that made the decision to do so.

.....

"You're not The Author?"

Nope, he delegated me into this job, and by that I mean he stuck me into this world as an invisible voice no one but the audience can hear. I'm not sure why you can hear me.

"Huh, weird. Back to the original point, FIX IT!"

I'll see what I can do. No pinkie, you haven't been introduced yet. Okay

"What was that?"

Nothing!

Time itself was meticulously repaired, and slowly rewound.

Stop, and play.

-sure enough, a first-aid kit, and starts to clean the wound on my head before wrapping it tight. 'A little excessive isn't it? It couldn't have been that bad, right?'

"You poor dear, it looks painful. No need to worry, I am sure it will be all better soon, so whats your name? If you don't mind my asking of course."

Aaaaand the timidity is back. I still have no clue what is going on with this weirdo. One minute she looks like she is going to just have a heart-attack and save me the trouble of killing her, next thing I know she drags me here and patches me up!

"What have I gotten myself into?"

...

"I don't mean to be rude, but that's a weird name."
