***POV Kevin***

After the proclamation of the two equines not knowing what a pizza is, he quickly went to the kitchen, with the permission of Fluttershy, to make the said dish. It took a bit of time because he only had one arm, but within one hour he had managed to bring out something for the ponies to enjoy. "Here you go, ladies. One cheese pizza made for your enjoyment." He said while placing the pizza on the table before taking a seat.

Rarity looked the dish over and after that took a sniff. "Hmm, interesting combination of smells and it looks very well made." Then she took a slice and bit into it. After she did her eyes popped open and she released a satisfied hum of approval right after. Fluttershy's reaction was much the same although a bit more subdued. After they both finished eating their slice Fluttershy spoke up.

"Wow Kevin, this is really good."

"Oh yes I must agree with Fluttershy, but I would like to see better presentation next time this pizza is way too bland." Rarity criticised.

"Oh trust me Rarity if I wanted to I could have added a lot more to the pizza. But since I didn't know what you both like, I just made it a plain cheese pizza." Kevin said offering a slice of pizza to Beary and Angel.

"Perhaps once you are all patched up, you could open your own restaurant. If you don't mind me suggesting." Fluttershy said after which Kevin was lost in thought.

"Should I open a restaurant. I mean it's not a bad idea. But then at the same time, it brings up terrible memories... But on the other hand, I would need the money and I'm not that good at anything else... Eh, why not it might be fun. Soul crushing, but fun." And after he thought it through he voiced his decision on the matter.

"Excellent darling. Well, it's getting pretty late, so I'll be heading home. And Kevin if you ever need anything we will always be here to help." Rarity said before she wished them both goodnight and left.

"Well, I'm tired. I'll see you in the morning Fluttershy. Goodnight." Kevin said finding an empty wall and slumping against it. He turned off his optics, but before he fully went to sleep he heard Fluttershy wishing him goodnight and a flick of a switch.

***Pizzeria, POV Discord***

Discord was getting bored. While watching the elements of kindness and generosity did bring him some amusement, but in the end, he needed to stretch his legs. So with that in mind, he went about exploring the pizzeria.

"Okay if I was something fun, where would I be?" He said to himself before he bumped into something or to be more exact someone.

"Yarr. Who dares walk into the pirate fox." Foxy said turning around to see the shocked face of Discord. "Oh hello there night guard. Did ye perhaps see me captains friend Kevin? He be a large purple rabbit."

Discord just stared at him afraid to move but after a minute he spoke up. "Aren't you supposed to... you know kill me?"

"Ye be right about that, but I need to find Kevin so I'm asking you if ya had seen 'im somewhere."

Discord got up and said. "Oh, I'm sure he is around here somewhere. I'll keep my eye out for him."

"Okay night guard. You just keep an eye out. I'll see you later." And with that Foxy walked away.

Discord let out a sigh of relief. "That was close. Definitely, don't want to reveal my plan yet." He thought to himself before he felt something chomp on his head with almost no force. "What the!?" He felt around his head and grabbed onto the jaws of the perpetrator.

It was a mangled collection of parts with some parts being white and pink. It also had two heads. "Uuuhhh a puzzle. Finally, something to alleviate my boredom." He said, taking the mangle to the parts and service room to fix it up.

***POV Chica***

Chica was currently in the prize corner hoping to find Kevin somewhere. When her search yielded nothing, she decided to ask the puppet for help. She knocked on the box. "Hey, Puppet could you help us out? Kevin has gone missing and we can't find him anywhere."

No response.

She tried again. "Oh come on Puppet I know you two don't get along, but I know you still care for each other."

This time the spirit of the Puppet rose from his box and looked at Chica with sad and tear-filled eyes. "He 'sob' left the pizzeria. He tore 'sob' me in half and 'sob' left the pizzeria. I 'sob' don't know where 'sob' he is and I need 'sob' to apologize to him."

Chica for her part was surprised. Kevin had left the pizzeria. Something thought to be impossible, but he did it. And he broke Puppet to achieve his goal. After she managed to archive all the new information she opened the box and gathered up the body. "Don't worry Puppet well fix you right up. And then you can tell us everything that happened. Okay?" Chica said while Puppets spirit rested on her shoulder.

"Okay. I really screwed up this time Chica. I just hope that I can make it up to him."

"I'm sure that if you apologize. He will forgive you. Now let's get you fixed up." Chica said carrying the pieces to the parts and service room.

***Fluttershies cottage, POV Kevin***

It was six a.m. when Kevin woke up. His sleep for a change was restful filing him with a new found energy he only experienced when he was still alive. He stretched and released a yawn after which he noticed that the same crow who he had seen in the kitchen was now sleeping on his chest. His stretching had woken it up and, once again it started staring at Kevin. "Why good morning there little guy, how was your sleep?" The crow simply cawed at him and he might have been imagining things but he was pretty sure it smiled at him. The crow then moved up to his shoulder allowing Kevin to stand up. "You can't talk like the others?" He asked to which the crow shock his head. "This place is definitely interesting... Well, then how about I prepare you something to eat." Kevin said walking into the kitchen where he eventually found the food for the animals. "So what are you in the mood for?" The crow flew from his shoulder and landed on a bag labeled sunflower seeds. Kevin then took that bag. The crow also landed on a couple of other bags which the robot also took. After that, he took a plate and put a small handful of each seed type on it and then slid it to his feathery companion.

While he was cleaning up he thought. "This is very interesting. This crow has been keeping an eye on me ever since I woke up. Hmm... maybe I can ask Fluttershy about this when she wakes up." He then sat down on a chair and watched the crow eating. After some time passed it finished its breakfast and was right back on Kevin's shoulder.

"So little guy you gonna tell me why you took such interest in me?" The crow looked sad this time and simply cawed a couple of times. Kevin could tell that this question bothered him so he let the matter drop. Instead, he decided to play a game with him. So he placed the crow on the table and instructed him to wait and after he did he went to the living room and got a box of playing cards. He returned to the kitchen right after and set up a game of go fish with the crow.

After a couple of hours of playing the game, Fluttershy woke up and went downstairs to check on her new guest. She was pleasantly surprised to find him and, by the looks of it, his new friend playing a card game. "Goodmorning Kevin. I see that you made a new friend."

"That I did," Kevin said turning to Fluttershy. After that, the crow took a card from his hand. When he looked it over with the cards that he had, he turned them over to reveal for of a kind. This made him release a happy caw of victory before he flew up and nestled on his new favorite perch in the house. "Ah pooh lost again. Oh well. So Fluttershy you need any help with anything." Kevin asked while gathering up all the cards and placing it in the box.

Fluttershy thought about it for a moment before she thought of something to do. "How about you go outside and keep my other animals entertained while I prepare them breakfast. Can you do that?"

"Sure I can give it a try. Are you up for that as well?" The robot asked the crow, to which he got a nod of approval. "Okay then. Just one question, how long do I need to keep them entertained?"

"Oh, not long just half an hour. Here." Fluttershy handed him a crate which was filled with animal toys. "Use those on some of the more energetic ones."

Kevin just looked at the box, then at Fluttershy and then finally nodded. After that, he went outside.

Once outside everything was quiet. For there was no one around. Well, almost no one. Beary was there and Angel was also outside keeping an eye on him. Kevin then simply sighed moved to the center of the backyard and sat down, putting the box next to him.

"Well, it's not like I was expecting anything else." He thought to himself. After that, he heard someone rummaging through the box and lo and behold a small orange fox was searching for something in it. When he found what he was looking for he popped his head out, holding a squeaky ball. At first, he was unaware that Kevin was watching, but when he did he dropped the ball and hid in the box.

Said ball landed next to Kevin. He picked it up and squeezed it once, the fox reacted and popped one ear out of the box. He repeated the action two more times and the foxes head was now outside. "Hey, there little guy. You don't have to be afraid. I won't hurt you, so why don't you come out and we can play a little. How does that sound?" Kevin said in a gentle voice.

"T-that sounds nice. But I-I don't know if you'll hurt me. A-a-are you g-going to hurt me?" The fox replied.

"No little one. I won't hurt you. I just want to play and help out if I can." After those words, the fox leaped out of the box and started running in circles around him.

"Ohboyohboyohboyanewfriend.Let'splayfriend. Let'splayfetchIlovefetchlet'splay. Throwtheballthrowit!"

Kevin only chuckled at the foxes eagerness and threw the ball. The fox immediately charged after it and when he got to it he pawed it around for a couple of seconds before he bit into it and brought it back for Kevin to throw it again.

Several minutes pass and sure enough, more animals start popping up, slowly approaching Kevin. He stayed completely still once they arrived to let them smell him and once they determined that he was not a threat. They all started to play around him. Kevin was at that point very happy. Maybe even the happiest he has been in a long while, but that probably has to do with all the baby bunnies climbing up on his torso.

***POV Fluttershy***

Fluttershy was watching the whole scene play out from the sidelines. At first, she was rather disheartened to see all the animals avoid Kevin. But when she saw the fox running around him, she was very happy that one of her more shy animal friends has given him a chance. When she was finished with her task, she went to pick up a small bell and rang it. Once she did all the animals stopped playing and went to get their food.

Fluttershy saw that there was tortoise who was also very eager to get his food. Then she saw Kevin pick him up and carry him to his food. The tortoise then turned to him and gave him a slow smile before he started eating. Fluttershy was not sure at the time, but she could see that Kevin was genuinely happy.

"I wonder why he tries so hard to fake his happiness." It was a thought she was repeating in her head ever since she met him. Which is not saying much. "I guess I'll just have to give him more reasons to be happy." She then looked off in one direction and got an idea. "Hmm, he may be able to help me with that... If he doesn't mind that is."
