(I Was) Stronger Than You
2. Oh No, A... Body?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Fluttershy was making her way back from Zecora's hut in the Everfree Forrest she was humming happily as she was not alone this time, due to the increase in Timberwolf attacks, one of her friends decided to escort her both ways, how thoughtful.
"Thanks so much Berry, I really needed to get this ointment for poor lil' Angel Bunny's rash, who knew poison joke could cause super chicken pox?" She asked rhetorically as the bear just chuckled at the fact that the overbearing rabbit was finally in no position to stop him from eating all he wanted at dinner. He was happily daydreaming about all the fish he was going to chow down on at dinner when he heard Fluttershy cry out. He looked immediately to his left and she was fine, he looked around and there was not a single Timberwolf in sight, so what made her scream? Upon further inspection, he saw a crimson and blue shoe sticking out from a bush. Being the bear he was he gathered up his courage and "bravely" stalked up to the bush, expecting to find something attacking somepony, but what he saw just confused him. He looked back at Fluttershy with a puzzled look on his face and motioned her over. When she looked she was just as confused as he was, a bit disturbed, but just as confused. Some animal's skeleton was bloodied and clean to the bone but for some reason was wearing a blue hoodie, shorts, and blue untied sneakers? Upon further inspection she noticed there was still blood trickling out of the ribs of the skeleton, her motherly instincts kicked in.
"Berry, I don't know what this is, but we have to help it! The poor thing is hurt, or dead? Either way, we have to take it home, maybe we can treat it? M-Maybe it is similar to Timberwolves!" She just kept telling herself that in her head as she commanded the bear to carry the remains to her house, after all, it was not like she could just ignore an...animal? Yes, an animal in need! With one swift motion, Berry gently put the body over his back as they made their way back home, but unbeknownst to them something fell from its pocket and clinked on the ground.
Author's Note
I made her think Sans is maybe a similar animal to Timberwolves lie maybe there's a new animal made my excess magic that causes bones to reanimate? It is what she was hoping for rather than the alternative, which you will see really soon!
