Strong

When I woke up the next day I was surprised to find not only the fluttershy creature but 5 more of them huddled around me and along with what looked liked a lizard walking on two feet.All of them were as strange as fluttershy and they could not keep their eyes off of me.

There was an all  pink one with a puffy mane,a white one with purple swirly hair,a purple one with a purple mane and bangs,a blue one with a rainbow mane and a yellow blonde who was wearing a hat.They were all different like the blue one had wings like fluttershy but the white one had not wings but a horn on it's head and the purple one had both a horn and wings.The pink and yellow ones were the ones who mostly resembled a zebra(aside from the fact that they have no stripes and were yellow and pink).

"Oh look at the kitty" said the pink one while completely invading my personal space

"Pinkie I don't think that's a regular cat It looks more like...a cheetah" said the purple one

Ok so I'm assuming the pink one's name is pinkie...figures I thought

They all stared at me for a good five minuets all with different expressions.The purple one seemed curious,The white seemed interested but cautious,the blonde looked suspicious and the blue one seemed impressed by me and the little lizard thing looked like it never seen anything cooler in his life.

"By the spots,tear marks and structure of her body it has to be a cheetah but cheetahs aren't usually so big and muscular " said fluttershy

Hold up is she calling me fat?

"Tear marks? does she cry alot" asked pinkie

"No pinkie they're for running.the black lines help her run with out getting blinded by the sun" said the purple one

"Hold on aren't cheetahs like really fast" said the blue one

"Uh-huh one of twilight's books says that cheetahs can run up to 75 miles per hour" the lizard thing said excitedly

Bored of listening to the things I already know I decided to get up and stretch my legs but as soon as I got up every one jumped back with a small gasp.

"Be careful y'all we don't know when it might pounce" said the blonde with a thick accent

"Applejack's right she could be dangerous" said the white one with a accent I've never heard before

Note to self Blondie's name is applejack wow these names just keep getting weirder

"So what's she doing here" said the lizard thing

"I don't know spike I found her in the everfree forest" said fluttershy

Spike?That name was actually familiar.I knew this hedgehog who's name was spike.Of course he stopped talking to me after his mom told him all about how big cats eat any moving thing they see.She told him I was probably planning to eat him once I earned his trust.Although he became afraid of me he was the only friend I have ever had.

"I'm sorry Fluttershy but she could be dangerous you have to take her back" said the purple one

"Oh please twilight I will but only until she heals up please" begged fluttershy

The purple one (who i'm pretty sure is twilight) looked at me cautiously then sighed

"Fine but she better not cause any trouble" she said

"Oh thank you twilight" said fluttershy happily

"Shouldn't we go?.....waiting at..." I wasn't paying attention to them because while they where deciding whether to keep me or not I had all ready snuck away to the nearest window without know one noticing and hopped out.

I stayed in the shadows between the huts. These huts were big,in my pride we don't really live in huts mostly everyone just slept outside except for me and my dad we slept in a cave but i know what huts look like from the zebras. I used to go sneak up to their village just to to see but these huts looked different from the ones i've seen.

Eventually I got bored of just lurking around in the shadows so decided to do a little prank.

I got deep into the shadows and waited for someone to pass by. Finally my target came strolling in she had blonde hair and grey fur,wings like fluttershy and her eyes were cross eyed. I started meowing trying to sound as much as a cub as i could. She heard me,stopped, said aww then came into the ally.

When she did I pounced out in front of her and gave a small roar.

"Aww hi kitty" she said followed by a giggle

Yeaah...that wasn't the react action i hoped for

After my failed prank i took a few steps back on to a wooden plank. The winged zebra flew a few feet into the air then flew in front of me.

"Aww don't go i won't hurt ya" she said then dropped down on the other side of the plank which sent me flying into the crowd of zebras. I face planted onto the ground then someone stepped on my tail right where i've been biten. It still hurted so I roared in pain then whipped around to see who had stepped on me. When I saw the creature he was clearly terrified he was shaking so much he looked like he was about explode.

Then i realized everyone was screaming and running around and yelling monster at me. I then realized I was growling and bearing my teeth. Well no wonder they're freaking out. I left the creature and tried to get threw the crowd which made things worse. Everyone thought i was going after them and all i could hear was

"Run"

"It's coming after us"

"watch out"

"hide the kids"

I found a way out of the crowd and back into an ally but as i entered i found that i wasn't alone.

"Oh no it found us!" it was a little filly with orange fur and purple hair. Next to her were to other filly one with yellow fur and red hair and another with white fur and pink and purple hair. I tried to give them a innocent look telling them not to worry. I don't know why i didn't just say something but i didn't.

"Wait maybe she's not so bad" said the yellow one with an accent similar to appejack.

"Or maybe she is. She was just about to eat mr.cake!" the white one said

"But she didn't" The red haired said then one turned to me and looked at me dead in the eye. "You're a good monster...Right?" she asked and I nodded

"See she is nice" she said then her friend spoke up "just because she said so?".

Then I heard deep voices when i looked it was a few zebra creatures with long spears and gold on their head and hooves and chest and immediately i knew they were looking for me.

I started to take a few steps back eventually bumping into one of the fillies.

"I think she's scared of them" the white one said

"I think shes scared of the spears" the orange one replied

"I think we should hide her in the club house" the red head said

**I* think we should go now*

After a long time trying to get to applebloom's farm ( I learned their names on the way) without getting seen we finally got there. It was nice there were big trees full of fruit and a big red barn right in the middle.

"Oh no it's big mac" scootaloo said and when i looked to where she was I saw who she was talking about. He was big and tall and he had red fur and blonde hair. Applebloom told me to hide so i scurried up a trees and stayed on a high branch but i could hear them talking below me.

"Oh hey big mac what are you doing this time of day" applebloom with a nervous smile

" Just bucking some apples" he said in the lowest voice i've ever heard!

Whoa and i thought dad's voice was low my dad? I tried not to think of him he said all i do is run so that's what i did he probably didn't want me there anyway.

"You don't want to buck that tree it has bad apples" scootaloo said

Big mac looked up t see if it was true but luckily he didn't see me instead he shrugged, put down a basket he had and started kicking the tree. He kicked it so hard i almost fell out but i held on so i was hanging with my tail out the tree but he didn't notice. Getting back up wasn't to easy but then sweetie belle got him to stop kicking for a second. Finally I got back on he started kicking again but i was ready i dug my claws into the branch to make sure i was secure. Finally he left and after that we ran straight to their clubhouse.

"That was a close one" scootaloo said. your telling me

"So where did you come from" sweetie belle asked me they all stared at me with great interest I could tell the all had a lot of questions. But i didn't answer i just looked at them.

"awe come on now you don't need to be shy around us we're your friends now" applebloom said. friends? since when do I have friends? for a second i thought she joking and probably led me up here so it would be easier for me to be caught but then I thought maybe they really are my friends.

"Maybe she just can't talk" scootaloo suggested

"N-no I can" I said quietly

"Ok good because i have a question...what are you" scootaloo asked

"What are you?" i said and i didn't mean to but i said it with a little attitude.

"Your right that was rude of me to ask" she said a little sheepishly

"No no I was really asking I don't know what you guys are. I'm half cheetah and half lion" I said and scootaloo jumped up and fluttered her wings.

"That's so cool! and can i call you a chion?" she said " Oh and we'er ponies by the way"

"Ponies? your a pony? i've never seen anything like you before well i've seen zebras at least" I said

"Zebras! we know a zebra her name is zecora she lives in the everfree" Applebloom said

"I have a question...w-why do some of you have horns and wings?" I asked

"Oh that's because ponies are spilt into three groups for ex sample I'm a unicorn and unicorns have magic" sweetiebelle said and then her horn glowed and she made a flower float in mid air with out even going near it! That is awesome!

"I'm a Pegasus I can fly" scootaloo said but I kinda got that down already

"And I'm and earth pony i can't really do stuff like that but earth pony can grow crops unlike anyone else" applebloom said " So its unicorns,pegasi and earth ponies ya got that" she said and i nodded

"Kinda of like the carnivores,omnivores and vegetarians" i said those where the different groups in the wild.

"Yeah then there's the alicorns they have both magic and can fly. Also we'er vegetarians everyone here is so you might have to eat veggies while your here" sweetiebelle said

"Yeah but f-" I was cut off by someone looking for the girls.

"Applebloom,sweetiebelle ,scootaloo come down here" it was applejack.

Oh no i thought. Sweetiebelle checked out the window and gasped." Princess celestia is down there" she said

"Who?" I asked

"She rules equestria,this country with her sister they were at the bakery but they must of came to look for you when they heard you were here" applebloom explained "Y'all wait here I'll go out" she said and went out to talk to them.

A few minutes later applebloom ran up saying that they were coming up here. "You have to hide" she told me

"Where would i hide!?!?!?" i said she told me to leap outside onto a tree and to hurry but it was too late they were already here.

"GIRLS GET AWAY FROM HER SHE COULD HURT YOU" applejack told. She stood in front of the girls holding rope i guess they were trying to tie me up. I tried to jump out the window but In mid-air i was frozen i couldn't move and i was floating too. I floated back into the room and i was in front of a tall (even taller than big mac) white alicorn with a long pink, blue and green mane that was waving even though there was no wind.

"Do what you need to do applejack" she said. Then all three girls yelled no at the same time. Well it's about time you guys said something

"No applejack shes a good chion" Scootaloo said.

"A what?" celestia asked

"A chion she's half cheetah half lion" scootaloo answered "but shes nice so please let her go" scootaloo said

I floated down to the floor and then i was finally able to move that was the weirdest thing ever. I looked up at celestia who was studying me up and down.

"She's a hybrid i could have assumed she was a cheetah but... how did you know?" celestia asked

"She told us" sweetiebelle said

"She talks?" applejack asked the girls said i did and told me to say something but i didn't i just sat down and looked a cross the room. celestia cocked an eyebrow at then at the girls.Applebloom giggle sheepishly and said "she's shy"
