A Heart full of Kindness
Animal Instincts Part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning you and Lucky are taking your morning walk to the Canterlot Animal Shelter. You called up Fluttershy yesterday that you will drop by for the dog food. She said she will be there by the time both of you arrive.
After few minutes of walking, both of you arrive at the Canterlot Animal Shelter. You see that Fluttershy is already there as she got out of her pink car.
“Fluttershy, good morning!” You said as you and Lucky approached her.
“Oh, good morning Eli and same to you Lucky,” Fluttershy said as she began rubbing your dog’s head earning a bark that he likes it. “I see you’re here for Lucky’s dog food. Let me just open up first.” Fluttershy reaches in her bag as she pulled out the keys to the animal shelter. After unlocking the door, all three of you head inside. She told you and Lucky to take a seat as she goes to the back and get the bag of dog food.
After a while it came to your mind that the bag of dog food might be heavy and Fluttershy might have a hard time carrying it. Just as you place your bag on the seat and told Lucky to stay put while you go check on Fluttershy, you felt something strange inside of you. You drop to your knees as if your body felt heavy all of a sudden, same goes with your breathing. You don’t seem sick but this is the first time you are experiencing this. Your dog started to worry on your condition as he began barking calling out to Fluttershy.
“Eli, I am back with Lucky’s dog food and-” Fluttershy drop the bag of dog food as she sees you’re now lying on the floor due to your condition. But what she notices the most is the choker you are wearing is glowing. “Oh no! Eli are you okay?” Things got worst that your body began to glow causing Fluttershy to cover her eyes because of the brightness, same goes with Lucky. The glowing effect slowly wore off, just as Fluttershy remove her hands covering her eyes, she became more shock on what has happened to you.
“Oww my head hurts,” You groan as your vision slowly becomes clear. You then look around and see Fluttershy and Lucky, but something doesn’t seem right. “Fluttershy, what happened and why do you seem bigger?”
“Uhm Eli, you are the one that changed and-” Fluttershy said but looks away as you see her smiling. “You look so adorable.”
“Wait, what are you talking about?” You said. As you place your hand on your face, you see what it looks like wasn’t a hand but a paw. “Paws?! Fluttershy I need a mirror!”
“Oh, uhm yes.” Fluttershy said as she reaches out and grab a hand mirror. As Fluttershy holds the mirror in front of you, what you see made your eyes go wide on what have you become.
“What the-? I turned into a freaking Siberian husky! Fluttershy help me!”
“Hold on Eli, it must have been that choker you are wearing that suddenly glowed. It could be Equestrian magic we need to call the others.” Fluttershy said. She was about to reach to her bag until both of you heard a loud ringing tone. You recognize that it’s your phone and see Lucky trying to bring your bag to you. You told Fluttershy to see who it was as she reaches in your bag. When she got a hold of your phone, she says it's your brother. Fluttershy answered the phone but you didn’t like the expression on her face as she ended the call. “Eli your brother suffered the same thing, let me just call the other girls about this.”
****************************************************************************
At Twilight’s house
“It looks like Eli’s power is to transform into different animals,” Twilight Sparkle said.
“Thank goodness, I was very worried that he might stay like this forever,” Fluttershy said.
“Yeah, the same here.” You said but you moan on this sweet feeling on top of your head. “Fluttershy could you please stop rubbing my head it just feels too good.” Fluttershy sheepishly laugh as she pulled her hand away from your head while your brother and the other boys wait for their turns to be checked on by Twilight much to concern for the other girls.
“One more thing can you be able to transform back into your human form?” Twilight asked. You gave her a nod but instead you approach the door to her bedroom which was partially open. “Eli where are you going?”
“To use the bathroom,” You said which she and the others gave you questioned looks. “Look there is a chance when I transform back, I could be wearing my clothes or...I could end up being nude in front of all of you which we don’t want that to happen, right?” You added which the others get what you meant.
“Point taken, Fluttershy could you accompany him and wait outside the bathroom?”
“Oh uhm...yes sure.” Fluttershy said as she accompanies you to the bathroom. Both of you arrive as she allowed you to enter then closed the door behind you while she waits outside. Fluttershy can hear from the outside your concentration. It wasn’t long from the underneath the bathroom door she sees some light coming from the inside. “Eli, is everything okay in there?”
“Yes, I’m back to my normal self. I still even have my clothes on so that’s good news.” You reply. After you and Fluttershy came back Twilight was finished with your brother and the rest of the boys. The plan is each member of the Rainbooms will keep watch on one of you in case things didn’t go well with each of your new acquired powers.
****************************************************************************
Everything seems fine since you did try to turn into some types of animals on your free time (one’s that can fit when you transform at backyard of your house), but you were wrong. You discover you have a second ability when you didn’t transform into animal, you instead gain their abilities (dog’s strong sense of smell, owl’s night vision, bat’s sharp hearing, etc.) but can only do one at a time.
You almost overslept on one day and is now walking to CHS. On your way you spot Fluttershy also walking which you decide to walk with her to CHS.
“Good morning Fluttershy,” You said as you are now walking with her.
“Good morning to you too Eli,” Fluttershy replies. “Uhm, so is everything going well with your powers?”
“Pretty good, don’t feel anything strange. Except when I tried to reach for my phone, I end up shooting web from my hands to grab it. But I am still trying to get used to it.”
“That does sound a bit surprising but I am glad that you are getting used to it.” Fluttershy then realized the time on your watch. “We better hurry to avoid being late.” Before Fluttershy could make another step, you held on to her hand which she questions why.
“I have an idea so we can be there faster.” You said approaching her with an evil grin.
“Uhm, Eli why are you looking at me like that?” Fluttershy asked as you end up scooping her up in your arms which made her gasp on your sudden action. “E-Eli what are you doing?!” Fluttershy sees the pupils in your eyes start to change. “From color of his eyes it’s almost like a cat, no like a-”
“Hold on tight,” You said as you position yourself in a running position. Before Fluttershy could respond you took off in high speed. You are so focus on getting to CHS sooner that the fact you ignore Fluttershy screaming in the background.
Meanwhile at a sidewalk Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer and two of the other guys are walking to CHS. It wasn’t long all four hear a screaming and as it became louder something went by them at tremendous speed.
“What the heck was that?” One of the boys asked looking at the direction to where Fluttershy was carried off to. “Wasn’t that Fluttershy we just saw and was that Rainbow Dash and was she carrying her?”
“Yeah, I am pretty sure that wasn’t Rainbow Dash,” Sunset Shimmer said.
“What makes you say that?”
“Because here she comes right now.” Pinkie and the guys looked at where Sunset was pointing. Just like she said Rainbow Dash just arrive riding her blue motorcycle.
“Hey guys, what’s up?” Rainbow Dash said.
“Wait if Rainbow is right here, then who was the one carrying Fluttershy in that direction?” Pinkie asked which the others also doubt with Rainbow not knowing what’s going on.
****************************************************************************
After your last period for the day, you are headed to the soccer field to meet Fluttershy there.
“I can’t believe you carried Fluttershy all the way here to CHS,” Sunset said.
“Well, by the time we arrived I was so eager to get there sooner I end up ignoring her screaming and she was so frightened she couldn’t stand up straight.” You said feeling guilty of what happened. “Who never knew she was such a chi-” But you end up stopping at that last part.
“Yeah, I better not continue with that last part.” Sunset then raised an eyebrow after that last part you didn’t finish as in, she knew what you will say next.
“You caught me there Sunset. But seriously who never knew Fluttershy is such a chicken. As in she is so sensitive.” You thought until you realize and felt Sunset’s hand on your arm.
“I said that don’t continue with that last part,”
“Please stop reading my mind Sunset.”
You and Sunset exited the doors through the parking lot to get there. By the time both of you arrived at the soccerfield, you see there is some sort of commotion. Both of you see Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash was with her speaking to Rarity and one of the boys named Ardee who is somewhat holding some sort of ice bow in his right hand.
“Hey, Fluttershy. What’s going on here?” You asked as both of you approached them.
“Oh, hi Eli. W-well...you see...” Fluttershy stammers until Rarity steps in to explain the rest.
“I do apologize for interrupting. You see Eli, dear I was helping Ardee practice use his powers and from what you’re looking at, target practice. We had to use the parking lot since the soccerfield is being used. But it seems like he ended up missing the target and the arrow went flying nearly hitting Fluttershy.” Rarity states as she points to a spot near the bleachers where part of it is frozen in ice. You are relieved to hear that Fluttershy was not hurt. “Again, we do apologize for what happened. Now come along Ardee, let’s go practice elsewhere and try something else that doesn’t involve shooting or throwing stuff this time.”
“Okay Rarity.” After Ardee apologize to Fluttershy again, both he and Rarity went their way.
“Guess he is still trying to get used to it.” You said in your thoughts. Just as you turned around to face Fluttershy, you instead meet Rainbow Dash face to face. You have no idea but you don’t like what she is thinking right now.
“So, you’re the one who carried Fluttershy all the way here. They all started doubting why would I do such a thing.” Rainbow Dash said. “But let’s go straight to the point, I want you to race me.”
“Wait, what?”
“I said, you-will-race-me!”
You already know that Rainbow Dash can run super-fast and wonder on why would she want to challenge you. It came to your head that she wants to see how fast you were earlier and wants to see it for herself by racing you.
“Sorry, but no thanks,” You said.
“Seriously?! Don’t tell me your afraid to lose, are you?” Rainbow says adding a smirk.
“We all know you are the fastest around here. What I did earlier is just to get me and Fluttershy in time before the bell rings. Which means challenging you to a race is pointless. If you have nothing to say-” Just as you approach Fluttershy, Rainbow steps in front of you.
“Aww...come on just one race, that is all that I ask.” Rainbow now putting on her puppy dog eyes. “Please?”
“Uhm Eli one race wouldn’t hurt,” Fluttershy said.
You became irritated about this whole scenario. Seeing that Rainbow Dash will not stop until you fulfill her request. “Fine, I’ll do it.” you said as you sigh in defeat.
“YES!” She says as she explains where both of you will be racing to.
You asked her first about her soccer practice and she explains that they were done for the day. As both of you took your places Sunset began the countdown. By the time she said go you sprinted off and didn’t realize that Rainbow didn’t left the starting point.
“Humph, that’s strange?” Fluttershy says notice that the way you took off, you are running on four legs. “Earlier when he carried me, he ran on two legs.”
“Must have been because of the effect of the Equestrian magic on his collar,” Rainbow said as she positions herself. “Well, see you gals later.” Without another word Rainbow took off at high speed.
“Fluttershy, I hate to say this but can you keep an eye more on Eli’s actions. I have my doubts on how the Equestrian magic can affect how he thinks and acts.” Sunset explained.
“Oh, okay.” Fluttershy said worried on how you act differently just now than the past few days.
