Fluttershy yawned and was about ready to go to bed for the night. All of her animal friends were fast asleep, or simply relaxing. Taking care of all of those animals is time consuming, but she enjoys it so much, she wouldn't have it any other way. Right when she was ready to enter her bedroom, her vision was surrounded by a bright rainbow-colored light, shining from outside her window. She jumped and shrieked in horror, as the light dissipated.

"Oh my. What was that Rainbow light?" She questioned herself, "Should I go outside and check?"

Fluttershy pondered the question for a brief moment, before finding the courage to walk to her front door and gently open it. To her slight surprise, there was a small unconscious creature lying out in front of her. What could this possibly be? She gently picked the creature up and inspected it.

"Oh my," Fluttershy gasped in excitement, "I've never seen such an adorable animal like this before. The poor thing. Why was it out alone in the dark cold? Did that rainbow light have something to do with this?" Fluttershy pondered to herself for a brief moment, before taking the creature inside, "I'll figure it out later. For now, I better take this little dear inside and warm it right up."

Fluttershy flew straight to her couch and gently placed the creature on a soft cushion. The creature made an adorable noise, as it tossed and turned, causing the pegasus to coo.

"It's like an adorable, little, hairless ape. I wonder if it's a rare species of one," She mumbled, as she gently touched the soft hairless skin, only to gasp when it felt cold.

She quickly rushed to a closet and grabbed a blanket. After gently wrapping it in it, the creature smiled and made a noise of contentment.

"I may not know what exactly you are, little one, but like the rest of my animal friends, I will take good care of you," She assured the sleeping creature, before giving it a quick kiss on its forehead, "I better get to sleep. I can inspect and meet my new animal friend tomorrow. I always wanted to take care of a primate. I didn't expect to find one I don't know about," She muttered, before going on her way to bed.

It was the next morning, when Marcus, our young human stirred and yawned, while wrapping around his soft blanket. He finally opened his eyes and was stunned to find himself in a cozy little cottage. He looked around and noticed a bunch of adorable animals walking around, including squirrels, bunnies, and even a bear. Wherever he was, the owner must really be an animal lover. A few of the animals even stared at him in curiosity. Unable to handle the cuteness of the various animals, he gently pulled himself from the couch and moved closer to them. A couple bunnies quickly began to nuzzle his face, making him giggle.

"Awake little one?" A soft voice asked.

Marcus turned around and was stunned to see a yellow flying pony enter the room. He gasped at the sight of her yellow wings. What are flying ponies called again? He recalled a book someone read to him on mythical characters and remembered the name pegasus.

"Don't be scared little one," The yellow pegasus assured him with a gentle smile, before flying down to him.

Marcus gently got up on his two legs and realized that at full height, he barely reached the top of the pegasus's legs. The pegasus gasped and cooed when she realized the same.

"Aren't you an adorable little one?" She gushed, "Though, not many creatures are bipedal. You are turning out to be a rarer find than I first thought. I wonder what kind of animal you are?"

"I'm a human."

"Y-You can talk?!" The pegasus asked completely stunned, before she smiled brightly, "Oh this is amazing! You turned out to be an amazing find. A new animal friend that can actually talk to me."

"Animal friend?"

"Yes, I take care of many different animals, as I am sure you noticed. Big or small it doesn't matter to me. Even if I've never heard of them before," She answered enthusiastically, "Where did you come from, little human? Last night after a rainbow light, I found you passed out at my front door, and I took you in."

"I was at my orphanage, about to go to sleep, when out of nowhere I saw a strange Rainbow light around me. That's all I remember."

"You're an orphan?" The pegasus gasped, "You poor thing. You are more than welcome to stay with me. I will take good care of you like all my animal friends."

"Ok?"

"I know it's hard to be taken from somewhere you don't know, but I promise everything will be alright little human," She assured him gently, while lightly rubbing his hair.

"Marcus. My name is Marcus."

"That's a nice name. My name is Fluttershy, little one. It's so nice to meet you. Now, would you like some breakfast? What do humans eat?"

"Would eggs be ok?"

"Sure, little one. My chickens provide great eggs, and I will make them delicious, " She told him with a gentle smile, "How do you like your eggs?"

"Sunny side up."

Fluttershy happily cracked a couple eggs and placed the yolks on the pan. Marcus, her little human, was turning out to be unlike any other animal she cared for. He could actually talk in her language and from their little interactions his species are clearly more than simple animals, if they have the concept of orphans and orphanages. She sighed when she realized he was actually another sapient creature. Despite this though, she still has to take care of him. He has no one left and this won't get in her way of caring for another creature that needs her help. It just means she can't treat him exactly like her other animal friends is all. She can handle caring for him, like he is a colt. A poor lost colt with no one else to take care of him. She carefully turned the yolk, before placing the finished eggs on a plate. She took the plate to Marcus and gave him a gentle smile.

"Here you go little one," She placed the plate on the table and handed him a fork.

"Could I have some bread to scoop up the yolk?"

"Of course, little one," She assured him, before going to get the bread, "After breakfast and I finished feeding my animals, I would like to introduce you to my friends."

"Are they pegasuses like you?"

"The correct word is pegasi," Fluttershy giggled, "Only one of them is another pegasus like me. Two are unicorns and the last two are earth ponies."

"Earth ponies?"

"Oh? They don't have horns and wings."

"So, regular ponies?"

"What do you mean little one? Unicorns and pegasi are normal too."

"Sorry, Ms. Fluttershy, but not where I am from. They don't exist there."

"Oh, my," She gasped, "That sounds like you are from a different world. Not that I am calling you a liar, since you don't know much about what happened to you, but that sounds strange."

"I know, but I swear I'm not lying."

"Well, you are a creature I haven't even heard of before, and as an animal lover I looked extensively at plenty of different zoology books and resources. I guess something else to discuss and figure out with my friends. Anyway, enjoy your breakfast little one. We will figure this out, or at the very least I will take care of you."

"Thank you."

"No problem little one," She responded before gently rubbing his hair, "Enjoy, I'm going to feed my animals. Call me if you need anything."

As Fluttershy took off, she knew that her life had taken a surprising turn. Taking care of animals is her passion and today she now has to tend to one not like any of them. Another sapient creature she hasn't even heard of before, that has on one to take care of him. One that crazily enough seems to be from another world entirely. She and the girls have their work cut out for them to figure this out, but at the very least she has a new special animal friend to take care of.

Author's Note

After so long of neglecting this story that never went anywhere, I decided a reboot would necessary. Don't expect many updates, as my equestria girls fic will still be my main one, but I will try to make sure this reboot won't be left abandoned like the original chapters.
