This is a coming-of-age story about a human whose life changes when a pony enters his life, much like some other stories. Although, the twist comes in the fact that the human is a ten-year old kid.

Noel was coping with the loss of his mother when Fluttershy was brought into his life from out of the blue. The story briefly chronicles his time spent with her as she soon becomes her surrogate mother.

Written mainly because it was mother's day and technically inspired by My Little Dashie (though it's more inspired by the Equestria Daily More Most Dangerous Game Contest which had the prompt: "A human finds a young pony abandoned in a cardboard box, and decides to raise her as his own.")
