Hello, My name is Fluttershy
I’m a pony that lives in the town of ponyville, I live with a lot of animals, so I guess you can say i’m an animal lover. Sometimes though, I treat my animals like my kids. Take my bunny Angel for example. I treat him and love him like a son. But sometimes I do want my own kids that are not animals. But that wish ended up coming true.
This is the story of how my whole life changed forever.
**********
It was a normal sunny day in my town. I was with my friends and we were in the little talking room that my dearest friend Twilight has in her castle. The chair I was sitting in has a picture of my cutie mark, three butterflies. In fact, everypony had their cutie marks on top of their chairs. So it can identify what element we are. Everypony calls us the main 6. I have no idea why? But they do.
But anyways, Twilight was telling us about humans again. I learned a lot about humans when I was in school. They told us that they were very legendary creatures and that some pony’s think that they are myths while other pony’s think they exist. Now, I do believe in humans and all my friends do too. Twilight even says that she wishes to see one like me.
After the meeting, I went home to see my animal friends again. I was sure that they would love to see me again. But before I could reach the door, I heard somepony crying. But it was not like any crying I had ever heard. But who ever was there probably needed help. So I followed where the crying was coming from, And it turns out it was coming from a bush. When I looked, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a human baby. I was so lost in thought and I processed what was going on.
Humans are real. There is one crying in my bush. It stopped crying to look at me. It had tears in its eyes still, but I didn’t care. So I decided to speak up. “Hi there. What are you doing out here? Let me take you in.” I picked up the baby and went inside. All of my animals were confused as to what the heck I brought in the house. But I told them it was a human and they never really minded that much. I decided to check the gender of the baby. And it was a boy.
I then decided to go to the market to get some stuff. I had my animals look after him. I got some diapers, a crib, some bottles, some food, and some toys he could play with. But then it hit me. I bought the baby the stuff it needs, but I never thought of the name yet. I decided to call my friends to invite them over. I told them I had a surprise. When they came over, They were shocked that I had a human in my cottage. I told them I need a name for the baby and to see if they had any ideas. “Is it a boy or a girl?” Twilight asked. “It’s a boy.” I replied.
So my friends had some great names. Pinkie thought of Gumdrop, Rarity thought of Gerald, Rainbow dash thought of Dash. I didn’t want to name the baby that though. Applejack thought of Sugercube which I thought was a nice name. But Twilight’s suggestion was Kenny. I thought it was perfect. It really stood out to me. So I decided to name the baby, Kenny.
All of my friends did agree. So then I did my motherly techniques and started raising him. I knew Kenny needed a room. So I decided to use my guest room as his room. Nopony really stayed here that much so it was perfect. I put the crib and the diapers and the toys there. Kenny was really cute. He likes my cooking too. He did make a couple of messes, But I didn’t mind that much.
********
Today was great. Kenny learned his first word. Now I did a potty train and thought him how to walk. He walked into Angel and he likes him a lot. His first word was Mommy. That is what he called me. I mean I was raising him like a mother, So it made perfect sense.
I hugged Kenny and he giggled. And I took him for a walk after. You do need to walk babies you know.
Later that night, I was tucking Kenny into his crib and said goodnight. I kissed him and turned his nightlight on and went to bed myself. I lay awake for a while. Because these past weeks have been great. Finally making a discovery that humans are real, and adopting one was awesome. I was about to dose off when I heard Kenny crying. I ran into his room as fast as I can but when I checked on him. He stopped crying. I decided to give him a kiss and head back to bed.
But then I heard crying again. So I went in there again and he stopped. I was confused but just kissed him and went back to bed. But then a couple of minutes later, I felt something climb onto my fury chest. I opened my eyes to see what it was. And it was my little Kenny. He climbed out of his crib to sleep with me. That's why he was crying. Because he wanted me to be there with him. I kissed his fore head again and drifted off to sleep. With my son sleeping on me.
********
Kenny is now 7 years old. And I gotta say he has grown. Now I didn’t know his real birthday so I made the day I found him his birthday. Now I do know when I found him, he was a newborn so that's why he is seven.
I got a job. So I can make more money. Kenny even told me he wants to get a job. But I told him he was too young still. He understood what I was saying. But, I had a way to fix this. I needed some help feeding my animals. So I decided to tell him that he can help feed the animals so he can have a job. I will even pay him so he can buy his own stuff if he wants.
I did put him in Twilight’s friendship school so he can learn and be successful. I quit teaching there a while ago so I can have more time with my animals. Twilight was happy that I put him in her friendship school. So that way maybe he could make friends. And I really hope he does make some. Because to me, He is a special little boy.

Today has to be the worst day of my life, even more then when my brother came to stay with me. It broke my heart to see what I saw. Kenny came home from school today but he was wearing sunglasses. I asked where he got them and he said he bought them so I know he didn’t steal. But when I asked to take them off, He refused. So I took them off myself. And my heart sank.
He was being bullied.
I asked him how long have fillies been bullying him. And he said ever since his first day of school. He had a black eye and he had some bruises on his cheeks. After that. He ran upstairs to his room and slammed the door shut. I went to check on him five minutes later and he ran off. Because the window was open and he was not there.
I knew where he went. So I went to the Everfree forest to look for him. I called him and he never answered. I then sat down to take a break. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I lost my only child. I started crying about how much of a bad mother I was. Until he came. Kenny found me and walked towards me.
“I’m sorry.” He said. “Kenny, you have nothing to be sorry about. This was my fault.” I said in response. He then asked me if I still loved him. I hugged him as tears flew down his cheeks. “Kenny. I always loved you. And I still love you no matter what.” With some time. I told him to stand up to his bully's. And it worked. They stopped bullying him. And I made sure that he would be a little more tougher. Unlike me. But I am tough to you know. Don’t make fun of me okay or you will be sorry. Not really though. I hope that wasn’t not too much.

There is a point in everyponys life when they have to let there child go. On Kenny’s 14th birthday. I had some special plans. As I was about to tell him there was a knock at my door. I told Kenny to go up to his room and get ready. I answered the door, And there were two humans looking at me. They were a lot older too. I let them in and we had a chat.
“Hi. My name is Ralph and this is Lucy.” The boy said. “Well hello. Why are you here?” I asked. “I think you know why.” The other human said. I might have known why they are here and why they are. “Mom, Is everything okay?” I heard Kenny come downstairs and towards me. “Matthew!!!” Lucy said. She went towards Kenny and hugged him. But Kenny pushed away. Because he didn’t know these humans. “You don’t know us?” Lucy said. “No I don’t.” Kenny said in reply.
I asked them why they were here so I can hear them out. It turns out they came to take Kenny back home. That's when it hit me. These humans are Kenny’s real parents. They told me that they were out for a walk with him when he was a baby. And then an eagle came and snatched him out of Lucy’s hands. So they have been searching for him ever since.
“So what's gonna happen now?” Kenny asked. “Well you come with us Matthew.” Ralph said. “No i’m not coming with you. And my name is Kenny.” “Kenny, can we talk?” I asked. Kenny and I went to the couch. I looked at him deeply.
“Kenny, Its time to say goodbye.” “But I don’t want to leave.” He was trying hard to stay. But he too knows what is supposed to happen. “Kenny, those are your real parents. I’m not your mother. I adopted you.” “But I don’t care if you are my real mom. I want to stay here.” Kenny started to cry. I did too. I did not see him cry for two years. We hugged and cried. Ralph and Lucy watched as we were crying. “I want to live here with you.” He said.
“You have no friends or other humans to relate to. I was taking care of you til this time would come. But I didn’t know it would be this painful.” “I love you mommy.” “And I love you too. My little human.” We let go and Kenny walked up too his parents. Until they spoke up. “You are very found of Matthew aren’t you?” Lucy said. I didn’t give her a response. I had my head down to the ground. “Well Matthew, Would you like to stay with the horse?” Ralph asked Kenny. I was in shock. Kenny can stay here? I was happy and so was him. We hugged as the two humans went out the door.
“So are you ready for your surprise?” I asked. I think Kenny forgot it was his birthday. “Yes I am. Mom” He said. He hugged me afterwards. I didn’t think he would want to let go. I didn’t either.
