The only thing I felt while wandering through the Everfree forest is despair. I have been wandering for about 3 days now utterly lost. “Well damn,” I mutter “if I don’t get a source soon I’m not gonna live.”

I continue on walking, hoping to find a path. When out of nowhere I hear a growling. I dare to look behind me, and it probably saved my life. Because what I see is a timberwolf jumping at me. I duck down just in time to have the tips of its claws scratch my scales.

And with that I take off running as fast as I can. By this point the timberwolf’s friends joined in. and things only got worse from there. One of the wolves managed to get in front of me, and kick me with its hind leg. That’s all fine and dandy, if I hadn’t been near the edge of a cliff. As I fell of the cliff the onlything I thought was well this has got to be the worst day of my life.

UNKNOWN POV

“Well this is just great, not only has Twilight sent me into the Everfree, but she had to send me with Fluttershy,” I mutter.
Then out of nowhere we see something fall of the cliff ahead of us. Squinting to get a closer look I see that it looks like a pony. Once I registered this I grabbed fluttershy’s foreleg and took off towards it.

CRASH! We missed it and it crashed into the ground. Cautiously Fluttershy and I approach the pony.
Fluttershy gasps loudly, and I run up to see what she is gasping about. I trot up beside her and see why, a changeling! But this changeling looked weird. It had a silver back armor, where as the others they saw at the invasion had blue. This was the same to say bout its visible wing. it was a silver so bright, its wing could have been made of pure silver. Then it started to stir.

MY POV

After my fall I blacked out, only to wake up however later it was to find to ponies staring at me profusely. Well damn. “Is there something I can help you with?” I ask politely.

The cyan mare with the prismatic mane gets up in my face responding with “What are you doing here changeling?” she said the word changeling with such venom I could have sworn I had seen some fall out of her mouth, or I was just delusional from my hunger and the fall.

“I was trying to find a new home, now I am in a bush with a possible broken wing and leg.” I reply with a curt and matter of fact tone. “Now back to my question. Can I help you ladies with anything?”

The yellow mare with the pink mane pipes up at this. “Let’s start with your name, you do have one don’t you?” She asked kindly.

“You wouldn’t understand my Changish name so I will tell you its Equish translation, my name is Mirror Image.” I say, more directed towards the yellow pegasus than the cyan one.

Smiling she said “ok well my names Fluttershy, and this is Rainbow Dash,” pointing her hoof at the cyan Pegasus. “You said you had a broken leg and wing?”

“Well im pretty sure of the wing, but not so much about the leg,” I reply wincing. “I don’t suppose I could get some help standing up?”

“Sure let me help with that,” Rainbow Dash said, finally rejoining the conversation, as she walks over to me and holds out her hoof.

Reaching up for the hoof with my fore leg I stand up. “That you Rainbow Dash, correct?” I say politely as I get shakely to my feet.

“Don’t mention it,” she replies “I mean seriously don’t ever mention it.”

“Now if you don’t mind, I will be on my way.” I state as I start to walk past them, only to be stopped by Fluttershy.

“Oh no you don’t, not on that leg!” she says louder than normal “now mirror you are coming with us until you are healed. You do have your own pony disguise right?”

“Yes I do,” I reply while shifting into my pony form. The only thing that would stand out being my eyes, which are still a pale silver. “And why pretell do I need my disguise up?” I ask as politely as I can.

“Well we don’t want to freak anyone out on the way to my cottage,” Fluttershy says as if I was someone she talked to every day. "We better get going if we want to make it by nightfall," and she starts walking in the opposite direction. Once we reached the edge of the forest Fluttershy gives me a look and I put up my disguise. After about five minutes we reach a small cottage "Well this is my home sweet home," Fluttershy says as we walk inside.

After about four steps in I stopped and breathed in deep breaths. Rainbow Dash asks "Mirror, what are you doing?"

The only thing that I do in response is to cast a spell revealing all these thick swirling clouds spiraling towards me. "And what are those?" Rainbow asked increduliously.

"Emotions," Fluttershy responds to her "Love to be exact."

After I finished feeding I look to the two mare and say "Changelings can feed on more than just love. In this case it is a mixture of love, joy, and a bit of fear." At the last emotion Fluttershy looked towards the floor sheepishly. "And now if you don't mind, I would like to rest. if you have a place for me to sleep?"

"Oh yes, right this way." Fluttershy says leading me upstairs. "I'll see you tomarrow Dashie."

"So will I hopefully," I say as I start to limp upstairs.

Rainbow replies with "Yea goodnite to you too."
