Chapters Princess Celestia stood alone at the tower of her and Luna’s castle, watching the night of her dear sister. Normally, you’d think she only went there just to watch her sister’s night, but it wasn’t. Luna thought so herself when she saw her at the balcony. She noticed her sister looked rather afraid, and watchful.
She had to ask. “What’s wrong, sister?”
Celestia looked to her side. “Luna, am I willing to confront of what is to come?”
Luna was confused. “Whatever do you mean?”
“Oh, that’s right, you don’t know”
“Don’t know what? What’s troubling you?”
Celestia sighed. “Sister, there’s something that I must tell you, and I believe now is the right time to confess”
“Confess what? What did you do?”
“I’ve been getting disturbances, from unknown forces”
“What? You can’t possibly mean something like King Sombra, the Changeling Queen, or Tirek.”
“No, this is something much stronger”
“Stronger? What can possibly be more powerful than Sombra?”
“I don’t know. This power, it’s quite similar to Twilight’s, but far greater. It’s in fact, almost the same type that allowed you to see Snowdrop again in your dreams …Oh!” She saw her sister cocked her head, her eyes squinting as though she would cry. “I’m sorry, sister. I didn’t know you were still shaken over your friend”
“It’s okay, please continue”
“This power appears to belong to not one, but an entire race of users. It gives them infinite power, the ability to heal, the ability to siphon power from other sources, and even speed beyond light and strength beyond limit. Yet, it still lives under the teachings of its Superior, who she calls God.”
“Are you suggesting an entire race of…” Luna paused at the thought. “Aliens?”
“I do not know, but it intends to be coming to Equestria when Twilight, or her friends, are in need of protection. When one does, it will stay with them, also for it’s own mission. Though it’s alignment is good, I do not want an extraterrestrial in our world.”
“Please, sister, we should give it a chance” Luna pleaded; she wanted to meet the creature herself. She wanted to know if it could help her see her friend again.
But her sister was otherwise. “No, no being can enter this world to be more powerful than me”
Luna could talk no more; she didn’t want to argue with her elder sister. Even if she did, Celestia would win, she always wins. She couldn’t talk anymore, so she decided to leave and talk to the remains of the only one who truly understood her.
“I will save her, for you, my friend” Luna spoke to the Snowdrop flower that was given when she wished to her one last time. “I just need to find out: which could be the bearer? Who could any of them be its bearer?”

Help Me
“Please, Pinkie. No! Don’t! They’re all I have!” Fluttershy begged as Pinkie Pie trapped away all her animal friends. Pinkie had just ordered for all of Fluttershy’s pets to be taken away since she thought they were the ones who made her timid. “I’m sorry, Fluttershy. But this is for your own good, whether you like it or not” was all she said before dragging Angel Bunny, the most precious of Fluttershy’s animals, away. He was dragged away with a leash; it looked like he was crying out to his owner. She watched in horror as the van drove off with all her friends. Twilight was rather concerned, almost completely sorry for the caretaker. Pinkie didn’t even bat an eyelid. The Pegasus wouldn’t have to worry; tonight the creature will come to her.
________________________________________
She looked at the glimmer, it was still bright. “Go ahead, come, little one”
“Twilight! Please, try to get some sleep!” Spike covered his ears with a pillow, but he could still hear her. “You need to rest!”
“But how am I supposed to sleep when--”
“You’ll fix this tomorrow! You always find a solution... Please listen to me. Now close your eyes and try to get some sleep…”
Twilight’s ears perked up to an idea – why didn’t she think of that before? “That’s it, Spike!”
“What is?”
“I’m gonna go, and try to help comfort Fluttershy. Maybe if I stay by her side, it would help her sleep”
“You mean like a sleepover? Oldest trick in the book, Sparkle”
“It’s worth a shot; I don’t want her to feel lonely”
“Fine, I’ll watch the library. You comfort that caretaker”
“Thanks Spike. See you tomorrow!” Twilight bid as she closed the door. She ran off immediately to the yellow mare’s home.
Fluttershy watched the night sky, gazing into its darkness and stars. She was obviously too sad to even try to sleep. Without the company of her animal friends, her world just felt empty. She lost her whole family too young, she was abused physically and emotionally, and now she just lost the very ones who helped her find her cutie mark. The pain was all too overwhelming. She then remembered something her mother used to tell her. “There is a higher being who listens to everypony who believes and serves Him. Pray to him when you need help, my child”. She really secretly did believe in him, now she decided to pray to him for help.
“I don’t know if you are out here tonight. But…but…please, if you are, I…I…I wish, I hope, I dream, I pray, by your rule, my Lord, to light my way.” She said in what sounded like her ancestor, Snowdrop, calling to Luna. “Please, I just want to show I can be who I am. Everypony else says I can’t be assertive. But please, help me, my Lord”
Just as she finished her prayer, she looked up and noticed a single star glowing brighter than the others. She gazed at it with much curiosity, until it looked like it was heading straight for her! She ran to the nearest tree, before she turned around and saw what fell. It looked as though it was some sort of…spaceship?! She was scared at first, but then eventually curiosity got the better of her. She walked towards the strange ship. As she approached what looked like its door, it opened. She coughed from the smoke that kept going out. As the smoke lifted, she found inside what looked like a rabbit, but it wasn’t.
The creature looked quite like a Katsuma, save for a few minor differences. Its ears were folded backwards instead of forwards, its stomach was oval instead of circular, and its tail was like that of a tiger’s. It also had a flower bud-like collar across its neck. On the flower’s petals were marks that resembled a cross.
Fluttershy wondered what it was doing there, but she didn’t want anything worse to happen to it. The creature was rather unconscious, injured from the crash. Fluttershy picked it up, and carried it home. Little did she know that the creature she saved could be the one who will help her get back all her animal friends. And maybe, even her deceased family.

Hazel: I hope you enjoyed this chapter, there will be more coming up
What Are You?
Fluttershy carried the creature and laid her on the couch. She was about to go get the first aid kit, until she noticed something about the marks, they were already healing! The mare was confused at first; she never saw something as extraordinary as this. After the marks had healed completely, she watched from a distance as the creature opened its eyes. Its blue eyes slightly opened as it looked around as to wonder where it was. They shot up at full shock when it caught sight of Fluttershy. It cowered to corner, afraid of the mare.
“No! Please, calm down. I won’t hurt you” Fluttershy tried to speak out.
Thought the creature was afraid, it felt it could trust her. It calmed down a bit and spoke, its voice made it clear it was a girl. “Who are you?”
“My name is Fluttershy”
The creature looked shocked at first. “Are you…the one I was sent to?”
Fluttershy was confused. “What do you mean? Who are you?”
“My name is Bunny. Bunny Katsuma, from E-arth”
“E-arth?”
Bunny nodded. “I’m an alien”
Fluttershy was shocked. “An alien? But, I thought aliens don’t exist”
“Not so, we exist but barely reveal ourselves to others”
“Then why are you here? Have you come to invade us?”
“No, I came because I was sent here, by the Lord to help you”
Fluttershy then remembered her prayer to the Lord, but she didn’t expect it would send her an alien for help. “Help me?”
“Yes, He saw your suffering that you had too much now to deal with. I was called to go to Equestria to help you get back all your animal friends”
“Then, why did your ship crash?”
“Right, sorry. On the way, a beam of power struck my ship. It was set to take me to your cottage, so that’s why it crashed there”
“I can’t believe He sent an alien to help me”
“The Lord has seen your sufferings; he won’t let any believers suffer. Though, I can’t really fix much of a problem here yet without information”
Fluttershy shrugged at the last part. “Information?”
Bunny nodded. “Indeed, come here”
Fluttershy leaned in closer. When she was in range, Bunny placed a paw on the mare’s forehead and closed her eyes as she chanted. “Videre omne praeteritum et praesens”. After a while, she pulled away. Bunny opened her eyes again. “Pinkie Pie was the one who took them, eh?”
Fluttershy took a step backwards. “How did you know?”
“It’s a spell I learned at E-arth, it allows me to see your past and present”
“You saw all my memories?”
Bunny nodded. “You had a lovely mother, an abusive father, an adventurous elder brother, and a twin sister who loved and protected you no matter what. You’re the Element Bearer of Kindness, which you gave back to the Tree of Harmony. Your closest friends are Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Spike”
“You got it all correct”
“Now that I know about your life, I know how to fix your problem and save your friends”
Fluttershy smiled a bit. But then they heard the door open, it was Twilight. “Fluttershy, about earlier, I…WHAT’S THAT?!” she screamed at the sight of Bunny. The alien began growl, from the memories, she knew that Twilight didn’t even try to help stop the capture.
“Bunny, don’t!” Fluttershy called out, but it was too late. The alien jumped from the couch, towards Twilight. Luckily, before she could’ve been hit, Twilight ducked Bunny’s pounce, resulting to the alien hitting the wall. Bunny slid down the wall unconscious, all she heard were a few voices, and then she blacked out.
________________________________________
“Twilight, meet Bunny. She’s here to help me”
“Help you? Then, why did she try to attack me?”
“She looked into my memories, so when she saw the one in which as the animals were taken away and you didn’t even try to stop Pinkie, she might have mistaken you for a threat. I had no idea though that she could actually leap that strong, given she looks like slightly shorter than Spike”
“I see, how did she get here?”
“I was praying to the Lord that he would help me get all my friends back, and then her ship crashed in my yard. She looked hurt, and didn’t want anything worse to happen, so I brought her in here. That was when I noticed the scratches on her from the crash began to fade away so quickly, and then she was completely healed. When she woke up, she was afraid at first but when I introduced myself, she calmed down. We had a little chat, she chanted something, and she saw my life”
“Cool”
“Hang on, why are you here?”
Twilight shuddered. “Oh! Um…I came here because I felt really sorry for what happened a while ago. I decided maybe I could go here, and stay by your side to comfort you…Just for the night?”
Fluttershy was slightly surprised. “You mean like a sleepover?”
“Well, yeah…if it’s okay with you”
The Pegasus nodded. Tomorrow, her friend had an alien to meet.In Bunny’s mind…
Bunny woke up in a dark void. She was on her stomach, so she got up and looked around. She held her head with her paw due to a slight pain. “My…head…” she muttered. “What…what happened? Where am I?” she turned her head around. “I was gonna pounce and yet…Twilight! Of course, that Alicorn is always on the move!” she recalled what happened.
She wanted that when she gets out, she will probably turn Twilight into a dog, or something else. But that wasn’t her top priority now; she was wondering where she was. Or how could she have gone there. Then it hit her. “Oh no! They can’t have used the spell on me! What if…they sealed me into the darkness?!” She was beginning to worry. “Father? Please…I’m not gonna fail! Just, please, don’t let me sink back to the darkness!” she called out.
Dark smoke began to surround her. “Father? Please, I’m begging you!” she screamed. “My body! FATHER! Please! HELP ME!”. The smoke was beginning to engulf her, she was pretty sure she was about to go now. Please, she thought to herself. That was when she heard it,
I will come to you in the silence I will lift you from all your fear You will hear My voice I claim you as My choice Be still, and know I am here I am hope for all who are hopeless I am eyes for all who long to see In the shadows of the night, I will be your light Come and rest in Me Do not be afraid, I am with you I have called you each by name Come and follow Me I will bring you home I love you and you are mine
She heard His voice in song as she opened her eyes and saw a light in front. That was when the mist faded away, leaving her unharmed.
“Father? Is that you?” she asked at the light. Come, child was all she heard. With a promise of safety, she ran towards the bright light.
“Please…please”

Hazel: I know what you're thinking: don't go to light, right? You'll see why in the next chapter
Getting to Know Better
“Forgive me” Bunny apologized, slightly nodding her head. “I thought you were a threat”
“It’s okay, I’m sorry about threatening you”
Fluttershy smiled now that it seemed they were now getting along. “Good, I’m glad that’s settled then”
“Well, seeing you can be trusted, I don’t mind showing you a few tricks I have. Promise not to tell anypony?”
“Promise”
“Promise”
“Though, I wonder: Fluttershy, why are you being this nice to me? We only met since last night”
“Bunny, I care about all creatures, big and small. Besides, Servant or rabbit-like, you’re kinda like my family now”
“You know very well…I’m not your sister. Besides, I already have one back home”
“Really?! What’s her name?”
“Raiblina, my elder sister who resembles a rabbit with antennae. I also have a brother named Tiguro who looks a bit like a tiger”
“What about your parents?”
“My father is Tigbite, a strong tiger-like Servant with dark orange stripes. My mother’s name is Rabiatha; she’s a rabbit-like creature with hearts on her ears”
“Well, that would explain your appearance”
“I don’t mind it, shall I begin?”
Both ponies nodded. Bunny started by focusing hard on a plant as the diamond stripe on her forehead began to glow green. An aura enveloped the plant, making it bloom into a beautiful red rose. Twilight and Fluttershy gaped in awe. Bunny then stopped the glow on her diamond stripe; she then found a glass of water. She waved her right paw, which then turned blue, and made the water in the glass suddenly dance. She even managed to make it twirl around her like a snake before returning it to its glass, and stop the glow on her right paw. She then found a parchment of paper in a recycle bin, which she then caused it to levitate in mid-air. She then waved her left paw, which then turned red, and caused it to burn to ash. After that, she then pointed her left ear forwards, as though she was pointing to the ash. That then changed as Bunny’s now pointing ear began to glow brown, causing the ash to turn to dust. Her left ear then stopped glowing and bended back again, replaced by the right ear that also pointed but glowed yellow. A bolt of thunder then blasted out of the ear that hit the pile of dust. The ear then turned back to its ordinary natural orange shade and went back to its place. Then her tail began to glow white, causing wind to suddenly blow and make it twirl around the pile of dust like a small tornado. She then allowed it to stop as her tail stopped glowing. “What do you think?”
“Bunny, it’s amazing! How did you do that?”
“Honestly, I’ve heard about powers being given but this is incredible!”
“Thanks, girls”
“A relationship with nature like this is incredible”
“And that’s not even half of it”
“No way, you know more?”
Bunny nodded. She then jumped into the air, swirled into a fuchsia orb, and landed as a white rabbit.
Both ponies dropped their jaws. “You can shapeshift too?”
“And change back” she did so. “But I can also do this”. Bunny then closed her eyes, and just disappeared out of sight. “Whoa! Are you…invisible?”
“No” Bunny pat them behind the back. “I teleported. This is invisibility” Bunny then just slowly faded until she was completely unseen.
“Nice! How do you do all this?”
“Not hard, these are just gifts we are all born with. This aids us when we need help. We also could summon pets, but before that, we hone our abilities”
“So, you have pets of your own?!”
“Yep, and they are really strong types. Everyone has more than 3, but for a team, you could only bring 3”
“Could you show us one?”
“Sure”. Bunny then grabbed something that fell out of her collar, it looked like a Starseed. “Dino, go!” she yelled as she threw the ball in the air, it opened, and out came what looked like a baby dragon. It didn’t look like Spike though; it was quite similar to a Pwee, save for the fact that it had a star collar on its neck which read Dino Pwee.
“Aww! It’s so cute!” Fluttershy exclaimed.
“Fluttershy, Twilight, this is my pet, Dino Pwee. Dino, this is Fluttershy and Twilight”
“Hi! I’m Dino and I like warm hugs!” the dragon greeted.
“Hello, Dino”
“I also have some other pets, like Super Cat Huey, and Bima Beefee”
“Would you mind telling us more about yourself?” Fluttershy asked as she pet Dino. Bunny only nodded.

Hazel: Hey there! It's been a while, but you may like what we have next after this
Suspicions of a Growing Bond
Suspicions of a Growing Bond
Well, things were never quite the same after Bunny moved in. Fluttershy was beginning to really stay calm despite large crowds, as long as both Twilight and Bunny were there beside her. Bunny was afraid at times to show her form, so she would morph and stay on a leash as a white rabbit. Twilight began to learn more from Bunny’s experiences back home, and on other worlds. Bunny began to love being in Equestria, sometimes even going around alone as canary, or a rabbit, or another small animal that wouldn’t raise too much attention or less attention. Twilight began to visit Fluttershy more often, either to learn more about Bunny or simply spending time with her shy friend. The others didn’t notice much of the change or the presence of the alien; she would either hide in Fluttershy’s mane or stay invisible. Things went by very well, until one late noon…
“What do you think, Gummi? Wouldn’t be too much, right?” Pinkie asked her pet alligator as she put on a wreath of daisies. She was trying to make an impression on Fluttershy, Twilight, or Rainbow Dash. Gummi just replied by licking his nose. “Aww, why thank you Gummi. With my luck, shown by my itchy back, I might even impress all three of them!”
Pinkie’s excitement was cut short when she heard a giggle, coming from what sounded like it came from two ponies, but if heard very well there’s a third. The earth pony looked out her window to search where the sound was coming from. She combed the crowd very well, until she found what she was looking for. There, near Sugarcube Corner, stood her two friends Fluttershy and Twilight. Both seemed to be having a very good time together, it brought envy in Pinkie’s heart.
Fluttershy giggled. “That’s a very good joke, Twilight”
The Alicorn grinned. “Which one? The one about the toad?” Fluttershy burst out laughing. “Or the one about the tickle monster?” Fluttershy fell on the ground laughing as Twilight used a feather to tickle the Pegasus. She was about to die from laughter, Pinkie did notice what looked like a small streak of orange in Fluttershy’s pink mane.
“Hello, Fluttershy and Twilight!” Pinkie spoke as she appeared out of nowhere. Twilight stopped tickling as Fluttershy stopped her laughing, both blushing from embarrassment. “What are you both doing?”
“Oh, um… it was a nice day today that I thought I may as well spend some time with Fluttershy, eventually we didn’t know we were already in town. That was when I decided to start making random jokes; I thought it would lift her spirits” Twilight spoke.
“And indeed it did, thank you, Twilight” Fluttershy smiled. “By the way, what are you doing?”
“Oh, me? I was just in my room when I heard your giggling, so I went to check it out. That was when I saw you two”
“Is that a flower wreath on your head?” Twilight pointed to the garment. Fluttershy quivered at the wreath.
“Oh, this? I just thought it might be nice to wear it. Here, I made some for you; they’re made of daisies” before Fluttershy could speak, Pinkie already wrapped a wreath of daisies on her neck. The Pegasus just fell down to the floor afterwards, she wasn’t unconscious, and she was awake but couldn’t move.
“Hey, what’s wrong, Fluttershy? I thought you liked daisies” Pinkie asked.
“I do, but…um…Twilight, can you?”
“Of course” the Alicorn then removed the wreath from her neck. The yellow mare started to move again. “Feeling better?”
“Yes, thank you” Fluttershy moved her hooves to make sure.
“Um…okay. What was that about?” the confused earth pony scratched her head.
Twilight facehoofed. “Pinkie, don’t you know? Fluttershy has a rare disorder in her family that only runs through the weaker one amongst twins. Sometimes if she wears daisies, she will fall down unable to move”
“Oh, sorry. Wait, does this mean?!”
“Yes, I had a twin sister”
“Had?” the party pony furrowed an eyebrow. “You mean have”
“No, I had a sister. She’s dead”
Twilight tried to approach. “Oh! Fluttershy, I’m so sorry”
Fluttershy nodded, wiping away a tear. “Poison Rose was born first, she was like my opposite; she was brave, strong, and fearless. But we had an older brother, Shadow Hooves. My mother Greenlove was a kind hearted parent while my father Strongheart was rather abusive. Although I barely remember anything about my past, what I do know is that they’re all gone”
Twilight put a reassuring hoof on the mare’s shoulder. “Its okay, Fluttershy. I think they’re happy that you managed to carry the bloodline”
“Exactly!” Pinkie exclaimed. “And since daisies make you fall, I made a rose version!”
Before Pinkie could get a chance to put it on her however, Fluttershy already fainted. “Oh, great. What did I do now?”
“Poison Rose had a rose for a cutie mark. I guess that means that when Fluttershy sees one, she’ll be overwhelmed by the memory of her sister and just pass out. I’m gonna go take her back to her cottage, see you soon!” With that, Twilight levitated the yellow mare’s unconscious body with her magic and dashed off to her home.
“See you soon”
As she watched as the Alicorn dashed off, she couldn’t help but notice what looked like an orange tail sticking out of the caretaker’s mane.
“A pet, is it?”
The Jig is Up!
Things were getting intense. It has been a week since the “Daisy and Rose Incident”, and now Pinkie was now on their trail. She finally got the feeling that Fluttershy and Twilight may either be dating in secret…or Fluttershy has a new pet she needs help with hiding. She was now preparing in secret to try and catch what may be hidden from her.
Fluttershy and the other two were oblivious to that matter; in fact, they were just having fun. As time and learning went on, they discovered more new things about the Servant’s gifts. It seemed that they could also get visions that will tell them what will happen in the future, hence pointing to their part-Prophet side. It may hurt at times, even causing her to faint, but they found a way to make her wake up faster by putting a Baby’s Breath flower on her nose to make her sneeze and wake up. They also had the ability to morph, shrink, or grow in size and form at will, paralleling their part-Shapeshifter side. They could also heal fast when hurt, but she doesn’t know if it would keep her alive if she was fatally injured. She also had something called Alien Sense; it’s like Pinkie’s Pinkie Sense except that in them, it’s the pattern of their stripes glowing. Some can even show what the pony’s feeling, like a vermillion belly stripe symbolizing guilt, adultery, or any other cardinal shame. It’s quite hard to tell at times where it would happen, but Bunny’s ears could point where it is. They could also pinpoint directions when she catches a scent needed.
Why am I writing this, you ask? Well, you’ll understand in a bit…
“So, when we get to that area, you’ll sniff this hat to track down where the animals are being kept. When you get inside, find Angel and get all the information you need. Then, leave as fast as you could” Fluttershy explained the plan to Bunny.
“Begs the question, are there any side effects when you get all these abilities, Bunny?” Twilight asked.
“Well, I got one. My downside is that I’m unable to fall inlove”
“Wait a minute! You never fell inlove?!” Fluttershy reacted.
The orange being faked a laugh. “Well, you see…I’m immune to love”
“WHAT?!”
“Rare disorder in some of us. These abilities could come at a cost, mine for example is common at times. I could control all elements of nature while the others could only have one. I guess my cost was I lose my ability to find true love. It doesn’t bother me though. Besides, just because I could never experience love myself, that doesn’t mean I can’t feel what I need to help my friends”
“You…really consider me as your friend?”
“Of course I do, even though my time here is limited”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t you remember? I’m here to help but, once a Servant has finished their mission in a world, we have to go back home. I’m here to only do what I was sent to do; I feel the urge to do so all the time. I mean, look at me. I’m a Soul that was reborn into a new body. I like to do what I was reborn to do; make me feel special”
“Well, I’m glad you do”
“Look, I know about your past. But don’t worry, I’ll find some way to help maybe even let you be happy”
“Thank you, Bunny”
________________________________________
“Get back here!” Pinkie yelled as she chased after Bunny. She finally discovered Fluttershy’s secret, now she has been trying to catch her quarry. She laid booby traps everywhere, but the alien dodged every single one. She didn’t want to reveal what she truly was, not yet atleast, so she just ran around like an ordinary rabbit.
“Ha! Got you! Ouch!” the earth pony exclaimed when she finally caught the rabbit, but Bunny bit her after she whispered a chant “Cum animus incipit currere, in posterum erunt canem pace”
“OUCH!” Pinkie exclaimed as she accidently was led into one of her traps because she kept chasing Bunny.
“Bunny, watch out!” Fluttershy cried out, but it was too late.
It all happened so fast. In one snap, it felt like the world just stopped. Fluttershy looked at the scene of, atleast, what was left of her friend. She gasped in horror at the sight. Bunny’s head was crushed while her eyes fell out of their sockets and she was really shaking. It was a mousetrap that caught Fluttershy’s friend. Pinkie grinned at her work.
“Now I got you” she grabbed the creature by the tail, and threw her out the window into the rain. Did mention it was raining that night?
Twilight noticed her friend crying, she’s falling apart. “Bunny, my friend”
Pinkie growled at the sight. “Really? You were crying just for a bunch of pets, now it’s a weird rabbit!”
Twilight had enough. “Pinkie, get out!”
“What?”
“GET OUT!”
The earth pony left, still growling as she slammed the door. Twilight hugged the mare in an attempt to comfort her. Fluttershy cried as though she lost what was left of her.

Hazel: I'm sorry we had to do that. Hester? Could you? I need to...
Revival
“Pinkamena Diane Pie, go to your room!” Obsidian Pie yelled as her sibling ran to her room. Twilight called Pinkie’s family to keep Pinkie’s activity in check.
“Oh, well. Atleast that rabbit’s gone now” she managed to smirk. Before she fell asleep however, she scratched her ear the way a dog would.
________________________________________
It’s been an hour since Pinkie caught Bunny. Fluttershy told Twilight to leave her alone for a while, the Alicorn just decided to stay on the couch in her friend’s home. Fluttershy had already headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed by the time Twilight finally slept.
Knock-knock-knock-knock… Knock-knock-knock-knock…
Fluttershy’s head jerked at the sound. She opened the door but nopony was there. Her eyes then noticed puddles of water on the floor. There was a trail of rainwater leading to the hallway. Her heart thudding, she followed the water tracks. She was so curious at the sight in following it that she didn’t notice it already led back to her bedroom. The puddle widened, Fluttershy heard what sounded like groaning and a cat cleaning its own fur. She looked up.
There, at the foot of her bed, was Bunny, dripping in water. She was wet all over, and practically even grooming her fur like a cat. She occasionally kept holding her head as though she was still in pain. Oddly enough, she no longer looked hurt anymore. Her head was all fixed to its oval shape, her eyes were back in her head, and she was no longer even bleeding.
It can’t be , Fluttershy thought. She was afraid, but she took a hesitant step forward.
“Bunny?” Fluttershy’s voice trembled.
The alien stopped. She turned her head to face the mare. Bunny cocked her head to the side, she smirked. “Did you miss me, Fluttershy?”
“Bunny, Bunny!” Fluttershy rushed to the creature and wrapped her hooves around it. Bunny just hugged back. “You’re alive” Fluttershy murmured.
“Fluttershy, are you alright? I thought I heard a…” Twilight stepped in, she gasped when she saw the creature-thought-to-be-dead up and about. “Bunny, is that you?”
The alien got out of the hug. “Who else would it be?”
“But…but…how? That mousetrap killed you, didn’t it? You were completely torn apart”
“Oh, was I?”
________________________________________
1 hour ago…
The rain poured down. Trees were soggy and wet. Everypony already hid in their own houses to avoid catching a cold. In a nearby bush, at a cottage nearby the Everfree Forest, you’d expect to find a rotting corpse of weird phenomenon by now. But there wasn’t.
She was finally whole again, but getting all wet. She managed to teleport her way back into the staircase of the cottage.
________________________________________
“And that was when I got back here” Bunny explained. She groaned slightly. “My head still hurts from trap”
“But, that doesn’t explain how you actually lived”
“We were equipped with an ability to heal quickly. Besides, you can’t kill something that already died”
“Wait, you actually died before?”
“Well, before Servants are made, we were just normal sweet animals on Earth. For an animal to be reborn a Servant is either if they were used in holy sacrifice, served good purpose, or was the pet or atleast knew a member or future member of the clergy of the Church”
“So, what were you?”
“I’ll tell you one day”

Hazel: You probably really thought we'd kill off Bunny, did you? We just thought about adding that as a heartbeat
A Bite Curse
Pinkie woke up, not like the way she normally does, but rather as though she was curled up in a ball on top of her bed. When she ate her breakfast, she was lapping up the water with her tongue the way a dog would. And when she spotted a cat, she began to chase after it. She also seemed to growl when she doesn’t get her way. She barely noticed the changes. All signs that Bunny’s Spell had been taking effect. As a matter of fact…
“Pfft. Hahahahahaha! I knew it would take effect on you when you wake up” Bunny laughed as she watched the shenanigans her subject was up to. Nopony could even hear what she was saying, the alien already morphed into a falcon so all everypony else could hear her crowing.
“Bunny, come!” Fluttershy called. The Shapeshifter responded by flying to her friend’s side; after all, they had their own chat to work on.
“What is that?” she questioned herself, all she heard was barking that only she understood. “Am I barking now? Maybe somepony drugged me, and stuffed me in a dog costume. Wait! I’m dreaming! That’s it! I just gotta wake up!” That was when she ran to a distance, and banged her head on the wall. All she felt was pain.
“Okay, I’m not dreaming. I’m not in a dog costume. Which means only 1 thing: I’m a dog. I’m a dog?! I’M A DOG!” She yelled out the truth, but nopony looked her way. “But how did this happen? Wait a minute!” Pinkie then remembered the events of last night.
________________________________________
“Ha! Got you! Ouch!” Pinkie exclaimed when she finally caught the rabbit, but Bunny bit her after she whispered a chant “Cum animus incipit currere, in posterum erunt canem pace”
________________________________________
“That…thing! Oh, I have to find Fluttershy and Twilight!” Saying so, she ran all the way down the road. “Besides, it won’t be hard to find both; they’re practically glued together”
________________________________________
“Do as you’re told, Bunny. Go gather all information you can” Twilight told the creature as she morphed from falcon to rabbit. She hopped right to the door of the shelter, causing noise to attract attention from inside. Fluttershy said this place was where her animal friends were sent to. To know exactly what they were doing in there, Bunny offered to go inside and out while Fluttershy and Twilight hid and watch from afar.
“Oh! Another one for the day!” a keeper said upon grabbing Bunny and going inside. He put her in a cage separate like the others. She saw all the animals were trapped in individual cages, some going crazy. She cocked her head to the side, which was when she found him: Angel.
“Excuse me, you’re Angel Bunny, right?” she asked.
“Why, yes. Hang on, how did you know my name?”
Bunny saw the guard had already left, so she morphed into her natural form, much to the others’ surprise.
“Whoa! What are you?”
“Long story short, my name’s Bunny. I came in here to help you get out soon, I was sent by Fluttershy”
“And why should I believe you?”
She held up a carrot plushy, it was given by Fluttershy to assure Angel. “Okay, I’m convinced”
“Good, I need you to tell me what’s going on in here”
“By day, it’s okay. But by night, when they all leave, that’s when the freaky stuff happens”
“What kind of freaky stuff?”
“All I’m saying is that when the colt in the lab coat pulls out the giant needle, RUN!” he yelled at the last word to prove his point. It gave
Bunny then shuddered as she morphed into her rabbit form.
________________________________________
“All right!” the main scientist declared. “Bring me the new one”
The keeper grabbed Bunny and carried her to the Testing Room. “Your lucky day”
As he laid her on the table, she noticed a DNA jar which read “Pony”. It caused her to whimper.
“Aww. Don’t worry, little one. It will only hurt…a lot” Bunny shuddered.
The scientist filled the injection needle up with the serum; he tapped it to make sure it was ready. With a grin, he walked stealthily towardsCum animus incipit currere, in posterum erunt canem pace ”She whispered again before she sneezed on the scientist’s face!
“Gross! Your mouth was open!” the keeper holding Bunny said.
The Scientist wiped his mouth. “Just…hold her”
But Bunny bit the keeper, allowing her to escape. She ran as fast as she could to the exit, promising to the animals she will come back for them.
“Run, Bunny, run!” Angel yelled as she escaped.
“FIND THAT THING!” The scientist yelled to his co-workers.
________________________________________
“Fluttershy!” Bunny called out as she ran to the mare.
“Bunny! Let’s go!” Fluttershy caught Bunny as she and Twilight flew away with her.
“What did you find out?” Twilight asked.
“They’re doing tests on animals! Angel said they do this at night by injecting different DNA serums in their system. It has a temporary effect,
“And what is that?” Fluttershy asked when they got back to Fluttershy’s cottage.
“Immortality” Bunny morphed back to normal with her paws up in the air.
“Immortality?! But, that’s impossible, isn’t it? Well, except for the Lord, the Son, Angels, and possibly your race, Servant” Twilight asked.
“First of all: my race has to die first before becoming these Servants. Second: Even if they did find a way, it would always come at a cost”
“You! Who the hay is you and what did you do to me?! Why did you bite me, huh?!” Pinkie yelled at Bunny, all the alien did was pretending to cower. Twilight and Fluttershy only heard barking, so they thought the poodle was scaring her.
“Restitui tincidunt mane Ut custodiant te in oculis ipsius formae intellexerit dolor” Bunny chanted at Pinkie as the poodle vanished off back to her bedroom.
“Bunny, when you chant, do you use a certain language?” Twilight asked.
“Yes, it’s Latin most of the time, but they could also vary with a mix of other languages”
“The one you just chanted, what did it mean?”
“Oh, that? I just sent the poodle back to its home”
“Oh, nice”
Bunny grinned; they didn’t know what it really meant:
‘Go back to where you start this morning As you watch through the eyes of this form, understand their suffering’
It really meant Bunny did mean to bite Pinkie. She didn’t just send her back home; she made sure her Bite Curse would let the earth pony see what it really is through the lives of an animal. When Pinkie finally understands, she will reveal what really happened.
Coming to Senses
It took a few days for Pinkie and she finally gave up. She finally realized what she did was wrong. Bunny had been watching and her Senses told her the earth pony had enough. Pinkie eventually found out about a Scrabble Game in Fluttershy’s shelf. She then wasted no effort to run back to Fluttershy’s cottage, and knocked the game off the shelf. She was hurrying through the letters. Fluttershy and Twilight went to catch her, and just in time; Pinkie finally did it:
I am Pinkie
“That’s impossible” Twilight shook her head.
“Finally ” Pinkie thought.
“How?” Fluttershy asked.
Pinkie then looked for the next letters needed, eventually forming the words:
Your rabbit friend
That was when it all came back to them. “Bunny? The other night, before she was caught in that trap, Bunny bit Pinkie after a whispered chant”
Where is she? , Pinkie formed the words on the floor. Right at that moment, they all heard what sounded like a toilet flushing.
“Lather, rinse, repeat. That same thing still too is a rule when we go to the toilet” Bunny mused to herself as she went out of the bathroom, drying off her paws with a Wind Drying Spell. “What’s going on around here? Oh!”
“YOU!” Pinkie barked. Before the alien could react, the earth pony pounced on her.
“Hehe, looks like you got me. Can I get you a treat?” Bunny tried a pathetic attempt. Pinkie wasn’t gonna fall for it.
“Now, make me talk!” Pinkie growled. Bunny nodded nervously, that was when she casted a new spell on Pinkie.
“Well?” Pinkie then noticed she could finally speak normal again. “What was that?”
“That was Translate, I could use it on animals to allow them to speak for a limited time”
“Good, now answer me: Why did you bite me, huh?”
“For you to become a dog for a limited time”
“And turning into a dog would help you, how?”
“By then, in this form, you would understand the life of an animal”
“Now that you mention it”
“So, now what?” Twilight asked.
“Gather up the others, we’re going to court”
“Wait, you met the others?” Pinkie was surprised.
“Yeah, by accident, we got along well however. But, not yet Spike”
“Why court?”
“We managed to accuse the scientists that they were testing on alive animals because when I got out of there, I managed to bring a syringe of Pony DNA they wanted to use on me”
“How’s it going so far?”
“They’re winning at times, but now we need an edge”
“How?”
“Last I checked, before I got out of there, I sneezed on the main scientist and bit the keeper, with the Bite Curse in my fangs”
“The same one you used on me?”
“Yes, now when we get there, we just have to trigger it”
“Fine, change me back to normal”
“Meditate, it will slow down your heart rate and make you turn back”
“Oh, fine”
“When, and only when, Fluttershy’s friends have been freed, will I make the spell go away for good”
________________________________________
“So, you really turned Pinkie into a dog by a Bite Curse? That’s cool” Rainbow asked along the way to court. Bunny had just explained to them that the canines in every Servant’s teeth can turn into fangs at will, specifically for attacking and injecting venom. They can also use them to suck out substances and use them as venom, or chant a spell and it will be injected via venom. Best part, one cannot obtain samples of venom because they had the ability to shrink their fangs, and stop venom from producing.
“Maybe it wasn’t for Pinkie” Rarity reprimanded.
“Yep, but atleast now, I’ve been taught”
“Can we save the fuss for later? We’re already here” Applejack interrupted.
“Hang on, let me be the one to defend your side”
“Whoa! Are you sure, Pinkie?”
“Hey, I got all of you into this mess in the first place. Now, I should do whatever I have to in order to stop it”
________________________________________
“So, Mr. Nuclide, are you sure that you do non-DNA involved experiments in your laboratory?” Pinkie asked the main scientist.
“I can assure, I have never done anything of the sort” he replied back, twitching slightly from Bunny’s Bite.
“Then, is it true that your company has been working on a serum that can extend life span to even longer like 100 years?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“But if that were true, I bet that anypony who discovered it would be rich beyond compare, right?”
Nuclide smiled a bit, as though he was hearing a compliment. “Yes, I believe so”
“But, then I wonder, how would it be if ponies who were trying to succeed used such adorable animals for test subjects?”
“I told you before; I haven’t done anything of the sort”
“Really?”
“Really”
“Really?”
“Really”
“Really?”
“YES! I already told you! I’m. Not. GIULTY!” he was getting angry now, almost triggering the full effects.
“Ooh, getting a little agitated there, huh?”
“Stop. Right. Now”
Pinkie growled, so did Nuclide. The curse was about to trigger fully, until…
“No more growling!” the judge yelled, annoyed.
“He tricked me, with candy, into handing over my friend’s animals and almost messed them up entirely for his little experiments”
“This makes no sense” the judge shook her head
“Thank you” Nuclide was getting off the hook.
“Take Ms. Pie away, please”
“What? No! It’s the truth!” Pinkie yelled as the police dragged her away. “I’ve seen a monkey that could bark! A dog that acted like a cat!”
Nuclide breathed a sigh of relief, now that a bystander was gone.
But Pinkie got back, she threw a stick. “Nuclide! Go fetch!”
The scientist did, drooling like a dog and running toward the stick, he finally caught it. But then, he saw how he acted, he tried to pretend to be normal. “I’m sorry, I’ve been working really long hours lately. And, well, you know”He was sure things were gonna be fine, until he noticed ponies were now staring at him. “Hello? Anypony?”That was when he turned around and saw it; his tail was now a dog’s! He chased after it, swatting Rose in the face by accident until he finally caught it. But now the jig was up!
“If that is not evidence of genetic mutation, then I don’t know what is!”
“On second thought, police, take him into custody!”
“For what? A little play, huh?” Nuclide yelled as he was dragged away. “Don’t you foals realize I could make us all immortal? Animals don’t even care! They don’t know what’s going on!”
“Don’t tell me animals don’t know! They do care, and are no different” Pinkie talked back.
“Besides, even if he did, there would always be severe consequences” Bunny whispered in Fluttershy’s ear.
“Won’t matter; let’s see you get out of this!” Saying so, Nuclide aimed a gun at Pinkie. He shot it, firing at her heart. But before it did, Bunny jumped in front of the bullet. It took her instead; the alien coughed up her blood while at it.
Nuclide was finally taken away. Pinkie stared at Bunny; she saved her life by risking her own! Fluttershy rushed to her alien friend’s side. “Bunny, NO! Stay with us!”
The alien just kept coughing up blood, staring at the ceiling. “I’ll see you soon, girls”. Her body went limp.

Hazel: If you're asking, yes, we got the idea from "The Shaggy Dog". Don't know what to put
The Great Escape
Fluttershy and the others already carried Bunny’s body away back to the cottage. She was laid on a small blanket. Fluttershy couldn’t stop her sobbing while the others gathered around for the small creature.
Pinkie went up to the Servant. “You died trying to save me, Bunny”
“Hello!” Bunny said as she opened her eyes, a smile played across her face.
The gang couldn’t believe it! “YOU’RE ALIVE?!” Pinkie gasped.
“Of course, you can’t kill something that already died, remember?”
The all smiled at the sight; their friend was still alive. “’C’mon, we’ve got some animals to rescue”
________________________________________
They split up with each a group of animals, going in their separate ways to all meet up at the cottage. Some even had to go with a pair to help. Applejack had to go with Rainbow Dash, Rarity went it alone, and Bunny, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Pinkie had to go all together.
“Bunny, can you make us float over?” Twilight asked.
“I can’t; I’m still a bit too weak from the gunshot. We may be able to come back, but some spells can’t be done so quick right after revival”
“Well, how can we get you to regain enough strength quickly?”
“I need to draw strength from Mother Nature, but it has to be all my elements at the same time”
“Well, Nature’s check because of those roots. For Water, we’re gonna swim anyway. Earth, there’s soil underwater. Lightning, no need for a thunderstorm; there’s conductivity in water. Air, it’s all around you”
“But we’re still forgetting Fire”
“Body Heat, it’s enough, right?”
“Yes, but to do that, I may even drain your energy in the process”
“Just do it”
“The only question now, is who?”
They all thought for a bit, until one voice rang out. “Me, take me” It was Fluttershy.
“Whoa! Fluttershy, are you sure?” Twilight asked. The mare just nodded.
“Twilight, stay close to her. If she falls unconscious catch her” Bunny reminded.
So, they crossed the river, Bunny draining her resources for power. No doubt, the current was strong, the wind made it unable to fly. Pinkie was getting by smoothly, Twilight watched Fluttershy. The mare was getting tired, her energy was being drained. Eventually, she just tipped over, unconscious.
Twilight rushed to her friend’s side, she used her magic to keep her head out of the water and carry the other animals Fluttershy was carrying. Finally, they got to the other side.
“Fluttershy?” Twilight shook the mare’s body, she didn’t wake up.
Bunny rushed over, she chanted a little something. There was some strange glowing thing that went out of her paw and into Fluttershy. “There, that should take care of it. I returned her essence; she’ll wake up in a bit”
________________________________________
A few minutes later…
The others were waiting anxiously for Fluttershy to wake up downstairs. Twilight was waiting up at Fluttershy’s bedroom. Bunny regained control to element Fire by setting a fire at the furnace, and drawing from it. The animals were all safe, but waiting for their beloved caretaker to wake.
Twilight just sat there, watching for Fluttershy. “It was nice of you back there, risking your own life for your friends. That was very sweet. Please, wake up, Flutters”
________________________________________
Downstairs…
“Ignosco tibi, Ad veram tibi forte reddita saecula redire” Bunny chanted as she put her paw on the hoof where she bit Pinkie. It was the Spell that would remove the Bite Curse. “There, you’re back to normal”
“Thank you, I’m sorry about how I tried to kill you”
“I already forgave you, Pinkie. It’s all in the past”
You think this was the end? Think again.
“There you are!” a voice shouted as the door swung open. It was Princess Celestia. “You thought you could escape me?!” she levitated Bunny. The alien screamed in horror “HELP!”
Author's Note
Hazel: Woah! Looks like Celestia has finally woken up from Luna's sleep spell! And she found our alien!
It All Comes Down to This
It All Comes Down to This
Fluttershy woke up at the sound. “BUNNY!”
________________________________________
The alien looked at Celestia’s face, half-afraid and half-angry. Her face showed fear. The princess was really mad at her. The alien kept squirming in her magic’s grasping.
“Bunny!” Fluttershy gaped at the sight.
The alien looked to her side. “Fluttershy, help me”
“Princess Celestia, what are you doing?” Twilight questioned her mentor.
“I’m sorry, Twilight. But this alien is more powerful than me, and therefore, I cannot tolerate it!”
“What’s wrong with having around 1 creature that’s more powerful than…wait, WHAT?!”
“Yes, this creature’s race has a lot more power than me, or the other princess and villains combined!”
“Celestia, please, I’m begging you. She’s the only family I have, don’t take her away! Please!” Fluttershy begged, crying now that she was about to lose yet another friend. She paused. She'd never referred to Bunny as "family" before, but the more she thought about it, the more it fit. If she ever got out of this, she would make sure to let her know all that.
“This is for your own good, Fluttershy!” Celestia roared. With that, she emitted a powerful spell that caused everyone in the room to be unconscious. Bunny watched in horror as she was taken away.
________________________________________
Only family I have left…
You can’t kill something that already died…
Fluttershy, help me…
All these thoughts raced through Fluttershy’s mind; she woke up like a spring at the last thought. “Twilight?” she shook the body of the Alicorn beside her.
“Just 5 more minutes please” Twilight mumbled in her sleep.
Fluttershy wasn’t gonna stand up for that. “TWILIGHT SPARKLE, YOU’RE LATE FOR CLASS!”
The Alicorn woke up as though she was electrocuted. “I’m late?! For how long?! Please don’t send me away!” she panicked. When she realized it was just a wake-up call and Fluttershy was just beside her, she blushed in embarrassment. “Sorry, what happened?”
“Celestia got here, she knocked us all out unconscious, and she took Bunny away” the Pegasus began to cry at the mention of the alien’s name.
“No! No, she wouldn’t!” the Alicorn tried to protest. But looking around, her friends’ all waking up, she knew it was all true.
“What is she going to do to her?” Fluttershy asked.
“I don’t know. But we’re going to stop her” Twilight assured the mare. “You’ll see, you’re gonna get your friend back”
________________________________________
“Please! Why are you doing this?!” Bunny shrieked as Princess Celestia levitated her to the front of the throne.
“You, small creature, are part of a race more powerful than any other thing or spell ever existed, and therefore, must be dealt with”
“That’s not entirely true; I’m strong, yes. But I’m still inferior to the Most High. He made me, it’s he that from which I was reborn and serve”
“Most High? I’m the most powerful one in this world. And when I eradicate you, I will have no rivalry”
“Just because I’m slightly stronger, that doesn’t mean you should try to take me. He wouldn’t like that”
“Like that? If that thing is real, why won’t he save you now?”
“He’s not a thing! He’s the Lord, our God”
“God? I am now God!”
“Your arrogance will be the end of you”
“Really? Then, let’s get on with this!”
Celestia began to choke the alien, but no effect. She was gonna try a more different spell, but then her levitation stopped. Bunny plopped on the floor, she inhaled and her eyes turned completely white. She began to chant, but this time it was a Vision.
“Comprimi animo , ab infante usque Servant. Si negat indulgendi Gene”
Bunny snapped out of it, the Princess was still not impressed.
“Celestia, I’m warning you: If you don’t stop, it will trigger the Servant Gene and make me attack. It won’t end well” Bunny was shaky. She knew the Servant Gene was powerful, indeed. It is the one thing every Servant has. Once it's triggered, the Servant will lose control of their own mind and do the task they were told to.
“I’d take my chances” Celestia glared.
“Stop!” a few voices yelled.
Both turned around, that was when they saw them. Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were there. Behind them was Princess Luna.
“Sister? Why aren’t you outside, watching over night?”
“I asked Princess Cadence to do so for tonight. Dear sister, I’m asking you to please, let her go. Just let her roam freely. Please, sister”
“I know why you ask for her to be spared, Luna. You believe she might be the one who could give you back your dear yet dead friend Snowdrop”
“It’s not just about Snowdrop! I want to learn about her; I want that she may stay here to fulfill her task. Please, sister”
“NO! I’M THE QUEEN! I WILL NOT HAVE A STRONGER CREATURE LIVE!”
Declaring so, she used her magic to send off all 7 of them to the sidelines, each tied up, unable to move, fly, or even use magic. Celestia charged up her horn, she aimed at Bunny, and began shooting. The little alien kept dodging every shot, but she was on the verge of being controlled by the Servant Gene. Finally, she got hit, and fell to the floor with a thud.
“BUNNY, NO!” Fluttershy screamed.
Celestia flew to the creature; she watched the alien gasp for air. No doubt, she was already afraid. Bunny thought it was over, but that’s when He came.
“Now, child” His voice was heard throughout the hall. All ponies were shocked at the sound, even Celestia. Bunny saw a light that came upon her, when it was gone, her fear was gone.
“I tried to warn you” Bunny spoke.
“Won’t matter, freak!”
Celestia gathered all her magic in one aura. Bunny gathered all her strength, causing Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Air to glow out of their spots. This move was quite painful enough to almost double-out a young Servant with releasing all that power all at once, but she had to do it. Celestia angrily let out her attack, Bunny shed a small tear while letting out her natural ability. The auras of both were pushing against each other. Celestia at first had the upper hoof. But then, Bunny’s necklace began to glow as well, making her aura not only get stronger but was already rapidly moving to Celestia. The Alicorn struggled hard, but in the end, only saw the bright light.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
A bright light blinded everypony then stopped. The 7 looked around, their magic bonds were broken. There was a dark smoke, making them unable to see what was around. When it cleared up, all they saw were Celestia on the floor, unconscious. Bunny slightly levitated, only to drop to the floor unconscious as well. Her spots and necklace stopped glowing, meaning the battle is over. But who won?
“Bunny! Celestia!” they cried out.
Fluttershy hurried to her alien friend’s side, the others followed her. She held Bunny, her head just dropped to the side.
She looked up to where the light came from earlier. She prayed, “My Lord, I know you only sent one from the race of Servants to help me.
Her prayer was heard, He gave her another miracle. Bunny’s necklace began to glow again, and then stopped.
She opened her eyes, “Fluttershy?”
“Bunny, you’re awake!” the mare hugged her friend tight.
“I told you, if you pray and believe in God, He will help you”
Celestia woke up, shaking from the effects. There was another blinding light, this time, there was a figure. It looked like a human child, but he was dressed in white and had the wings of an Angel.
“Nathaniel!” Bunny cried.
“Bunny, you know this one?!” Celestia asked, trembling from fear.
The alien nodded. “He’s the Angel who turned my soul into a Servant the night I died on Earth”
“You have finished your task, Bunny. It’s time to go home, are you ready?” He asked.
“My angel, it’s just that…I was wondering if I may…spread the word here”
“Spread His Word throughout this land? You want to stay for a while, don’t you?”
Bunny nodded. “Please”
“Very well, but where shall you live?”
“I guess, I shall live…”
“With me” Fluttershy said. “You could live with me”
“With you? Oh, thank you, Fluttershy”
“Very well then. I believe God will trust you with one of His Servants, Fluttershy. Take good care of her, as though she was your own”
“Yes, angel”
With that, the light faded again. Celestia apologized for what she said and tried to do, Bunny forgave it.
The Alicorn nodded.
“Bunny, I can’t believe it! You’re staying with us!” Pinkie hugged the alien to the point strong enough to be choked, she didn’t feel any pain.
“Yeah, I guess I am” Bunny smiled.
The 6 mares exited the castle, Bunny right by Fluttershy. They had got a new addition to their group.
Author's Note
Hazel: Hoped you guys liked the final chapter! All that's left now is the epilogue!
Epilogue
“We should really meet your family one day, Bunny” Fluttershy said as she sipped some tea in a cup while Twilight passed the sandwiches.
“No worries, they’ll be here in a bit” Bunny smirked.
Twilight’s eyes widened in shock. “Bunny, no, you didn’t”
The alien only nodded. “They should be here, right…about…now!” At that moment, there was a knock on the door. With a smirk, Bunny opened the door.
“Bunny, my daughter!” A creature hugged Bunny tight. She looked like Bunny herself, but slightly taller. Her fur white like the snow, pink stripes were across where Bunny’s were, her eyes were blue, there were tufts on her hears that resembled hearts, her tail was like that of a normal rabbit, she had a heart made up of the 6 Elements of Mother Nature for a cutie mark. Her collar had a Honey-Suckle Flower on it.
“Girls, this is my mother, Rabiatha. She’s sweet and kind, and has a tendency to control all 6 Elements of Mother Nature, from the looks of her cutie mark. It symbolizes Love for Families” Bunny introduced her.
“My little girl, is there where you have been sent to?” another creature greeted Bunny. This one resembled a tiger, but with darker orange stripes rather than black. His eyes were green, like that of emeralds. His cutie mark was a cross made up of fangs with a circle of fire around it. His collar had a Lilac on it.
“This is my dad, Tigbite. He’s kind, but is very feisty; you can see that in his cutie mark. It means "Safety of the Innocent”
“Hey sis, how are you?” another boy came inside, giving Bunny a nuggie. It dizzied her right after.
“Hey, Bunny! How’s my little sister doing? Did big brother nudge your head too hard again?” another girl, rather caring, came up.
“I’m fine, my sister, really” Bunny said.
The boy looked almost exactly like his father, save for the heart-tufts on the ears, small tail, and blue eyes of his mother. His cutie mark was a stone on fire. His collar had a Violet on it.
The girl was like her mother, except for the long tail and emerald eyes. Her ears were thinner than that of her mother’s, making them look like antennae. Her cutie mark was pink heart with a DNA symbol, surrounded by an ocean. Her collar had a small White Jasmine.
“Girls, this other tiger-like creature is my eldest brother Tiguro. He’s mom’s first-born and he loves to give me a nuggie, kind hurts though. He’s as hard as a stone when fighting, see that on his mark. It means Hard Yet Faithful”
“Sorry”
“No worries. This rabbit-like creature is my elder sister Raiblina. She’s the second before mom had me as a third. She’s sweet and very caring about the family; she cares a lot about me. You can notice by the looks of her mark; it symbolizes Sister’s Love”
“Wait, you can have cutie marks?” Twilight asked.
Bunny nodded. “Yup, but unlike yours which symbolizes talent or skill, ours symbolizes a trait which we must do to protect others. They mostly appear right after we finish a mission on another planet. Father got his when he used his Fire ability to save an innocent girl from being a mass murderer. Mother got hers when she used a Drop Ability like using all her elements all at once to save children from a fire; she got the families while at it. Tiguro here got his by stoning prostitutes and setting them on fire. And big sister got hers by saving me while trying to fly in yet another world”
Fluttershy and Twilight stood gaping at the sights, but then they noticed something, “But, what about you?”
Bunny stared at her blank belly where her cutie mark should be. “I still don’t have mine, guess I might find it while I’m here”
Fluttershy put a hoof over her friend’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Bunny. Maybe I could help”
Bunny cocked her head, and then she remembered the guests. “Oh, right! You must be famished, even though we don’t starve! Come, have a seat, there’s tea, salad, and sandwiches!”
________________________________________
Nightfall…
“So, that’s just it?” Fluttershy asked as she signed the papers that allowed her to call Bunny an apprentice and companion. Apparently, in Alien Culture, when a Servant stays on a different planet with another being, they refer to them as Mistress or Master. The other being could refer to them as an Apprentice.
“Yep, now take good care of our daughter, promise?” Rabiatha said.
“I promise”
Bunny had already slept; Rabiatha held her one last time in her paws. She whispered in her sleeping child's ear, "May you complete your mission and find your mark. May all who oppose you be overpowered. May the Most High stay with you and guide you as you live here. And just as surely as my line runs in you and that you are a Servant, you will complete all tasks and you will one day return to me. Have faith, Kibo Suru" She gave Bunny a kiss on her forehead, as the little one smiled in her sleep. Rabiatha was a little reluctant, but she gave the sleeping Bunny into Fluttershy's arms. The mare hald Bunny as though she was her own.
“Rabiatha, she’s lovely. You said her nickname is Kibo Suru. What does it mean?”
The mother looked back at her sleeping daughter. “Hope, her nickname means Hope”

Hazel: Welp, that's the story of how Bunny met Fluttershy!
You Are No Princess To Me
You Are No Princess To Me
Please…please , these words kept repeating in Bunny’s mind. Before long, she woke up in a bed, it was morning. She gasped air as though she was choked, looked around, and looked at her necklace, and she grasped at it as she whispered, “Thank you, my Lord”. She jumped out of the bed, wondering what had happened. All she found was a salad in a bowl and a note. The note read:
“Good morning, Bunny! Enjoy your meal!
Bunny grumbled, still not trusting the Alicorn. “Twilight”Downstairs…
“Are you really sure about that, Twilight?” Fluttershy asked.
“Yes I am. If you are right and she is an alien, then the only way to keep her safe is for her to become my friend.”
“I don’t doubt your skills with making friends, but…after the incident last night…”
“Fluttershy, I’m the Princess of Friendship. I’m sure I can even befriend something that’s out of the ordinary”
“Well, then…what do you want me to do?”
“Wait right here, and if anything sounds like trouble, go upstairs immediately”
Twilight climbed up to Fluttershy’s bedroom, which was where they were keeping Bunny. She was quite unsure at first, but she had to do it. If the creature at the other side of this closed door was the one who would help Fluttershy get back all her animals, she had to do it. Besides, it’s not every day you get to find some creature from another planet. I wonder if she had woken up already, she thought as she opened the door.
“Uh, hello?” she called out.
“There you are!” a voice said in response. Before Twilight could react, she was hit in the face with the salad!
“I hope you’re pleased with yourself” Bunny said.
“What was that for?” Twilight asked irritated as she removed the salad splatters off her face.
“Lucky you. I don’t know why you came, or didn’t try to lock me away, but…whatever you’re up to, it will not work”
“So…you really are an alien?”
“Yes, I am” Bunny began to float in the air to prove her point.
“This is…PERFECT!” Twilight’s eyes shone at the last word.
“Perfect?!” Bunny stopped floating, shocked at the word. “Have you lost your pony mind? Do you even remember what I was gonna do to you last night?”
“Yes, I am. I was even very worried about it at first, but after an explanation from Fluttershy…”
“Glad she told you. I’m glad though that you didn’t call over those “Alicorn Sisters”, as you call them”
“You’re not afraid of them, are you?”
“Pfft. Me? Afraid of those Alicorns? Don’t make me laugh!”
“Uhm…okay. Can you at least tell me about your planet? Like how were you made? I never found a species that could even talk so well”
“Fine, I’ll speak”. Bunny agreed as she hopped on a desk to begin her tale of existence.
“Oh! Don’t worry, Bunny, I’m…”
“Oh puh-lease! You’re wasting your breath! I’m just a soul, who was reborn an alien…So what?! I wouldn’t exist without my Lord. He made me into one creature that was now able to live forever. I owe Him for that”
“Whoa!”
“Yep, it’s a beautiful gift. Since you know this now, why is it “perfect” that I’m here?”
“That’s just it! Now we got to know about you and your life better”
“I’m glad we understand each other so far”
“Besides of just talking to you, your presence will allow two unique opportunities. 1. Learn as much as possible about aliens. Given your unique race, I’d say…”
“Stop it already! Are you really that naïve? I’m only here to help Fluttershy, not chit-chat with you”
“I doubt that. 2. Make you my new friend”
“Some nerve of a princess, is this because I won’t pay my respects and bow down to you?” Bunny said in a mocking tone.
“No, but because we have something you may be afraid of: The Elements of Harmony. I don’t think you’d risk that we use them on you”
“You’re talking about a risk?! Just for a study? What do you think I am, a pet?! Besides the Elements won’t work on me, and they’re sealed away in the Tree of Harmony”
Twilight dropped her jaw, how did she know?! That was her one threat! “But…How did…”
“Fluttershy’s memories, remember? I saw even her first breath”
“Oh, Pony Feathers! But why do even act like this even in the presence of a princess?”
“Princess?” Bunny furrowed an eyebrow and began to laugh.
“Hey! What’s so funny?”
“You…are no princess to me”
“What? But who rules in your home? Don’t you have a king?”
“Of course we do. The Lord is our God and King. I just don’t consider you princess”
Twilight sighed, their culture was pretty different. She was about to try to speak out again, and that’s when Fluttershy came. “I couldn’t help but come when I heard you were using the Elements as a threat”
Twilight hid her grumbling. She glanced at Bunny, who gave the Alicorn a smug face.
“Twilight, I know you want to learn more about Bunny. But using the Elements that are gone as something for her to fear to cooperate? You’re supposed to be her friend by earning her trust, not forcing it” the Pegasus emphasized the word “earning”.
“Right, sorry, Fluttershy. I guess I got a bit…out of hoof”
“No worries. Hang on...Bunny, are you…floating?”
The alien then noticed she was back in the air. “Oh, right. Sorry, that came along as one of the many other abilities bestowed when we became what we are”. She landed back on the floor to avoid any of them getting afraid.
“No, that’s cool! What else can you do?” Twilight asked, all she got was a slight growl.
“Bunny, it’s okay. Twilight’s my friend”
“Look, if you trusting me is what will let you become my friend and learn more about you, look into my memories”
Bunny slightly shrugged. “Do you mean it?”
Twilight nodded. Bunny then did the same process she used on Fluttershy. When she was in range, Bunny placed a paw on the mare’s forehead and closed her eyes as she chanted. “Videre omne praeteritum et praesens”. After a while, she pulled away. “You came last night to comfort her?”
Twilight nodded.
