A ponies in real life situation in which Fluttershy is sent to Earth.

(I realize this is kinda over done with fan fics, but we would all like for something like this to happen am I right? This is heavily inspired by My Little Dashie and might have elements from it at times, but go easy on me man, it's my first story.)
The story is told through the eyes of a 23 year old man living in Detroit in 2010, with a dead end life. One day he finds a blanket on the ground with something under it. And something is under it.

Encounter

Every so often something happens to us that makes us feel… I don’t know, like it’s all worth it in the end. My life was going nowhere. No job, no formal education, not even high school (I got kicked out of there and just moved out of my folk’s place after words) and I was living in a God forsaken dump that someone tried to pass off as a decent apartment for $250 a month.

My life was completely turned upside down one day, as I was walking home. I had just gotten fired from the local gas station and now I had no job to pay for my rent. As I was walking I noticed something strange in one of the alleys. It was a blanket, but that wasn’t the strange thing, the strange thing was what was under the blanket. I was expecting a baby to be under it or something, and I was right. Sort of. It was a baby, but not a human baby. It was a small pony, around 2 feet tall, with wings. Wings! Horses don’t have wings. It’s impossible. And yet here she was hiding underneath that blanket to keep warm. I didn’t know what to do with it. I couldn’t keep her though! I had no job. My apartment was disgusting. All these excuses ran through my head about why I shouldn’t have taken her in. And yet she made this face. It really touched me, and made me like… like as if I was holding a baby in my arms at that moment. Not just any baby though, a sibling, or even better, my own child. I thought for a bit and just couldn’t let this poor thing freeze to death out in the street like this. I took her home with me, but I couldn’t just carry her around like this. People would look at me like I was a freak, the police or even animal control might take her away. I had to hide her somehow. My jacket! I could hide her in my jacket and it would not only keep her hidden, but keep her warm.

As I walked home again with this pink haired pony I couldn’t help but think I’ve seen her from somewhere before. When I got home I decided to give her some chopped carrots and half a chopped apple as well. Not like I was gonna eat it anytime soon, plus it was going to expire in a few days anyway. Suddenly I had an idea. I checked my T.V. and looked at the guide for the HUB network. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! That’s where I saw her, Fluttershy was her name, I recognized the pink mane and yellow body. Although she didn’t have her little symbol thing on her flank like in the show. I decided to do some research on the show and found out a few things about her personality and that symbol. The “Cutie Mark” was missing according to the Wikipedia article. I was astounded, baffled. There was just no way this was happening. A character from a cartoon, for little girls no less was now in my world. I couldn’t believe it I was pacing around the room talking to myself about it for an hour, while Fluttershy sat on the couch. She was scared, that much was obvious. I walked up to her and asked, “Do you know who you are? What your name is? Anything?” she just shook her head no. “Can you speak?” she opened her mouth, obviously trying to say something but nothing came out. She just shook her head again. How did she understand me then? I sat next to her and just couldn’t help but think about what in the world I was going to do. All these worries came to mind and I looked at her after a while. She just climbed onto my lap and smiled, then fell fast asleep. I just sat there and smiled back, petting her head, and eventually just drifting off asleep. I didn’t know what it was, but just being around her like this made me happy. But it was late and I had worked hard all day. It was time for me to get some sleep too, even if it was on the couch.

Prologue

The sky was nice and bright as Twilight, Fluttershy, accompanied by Angel, and Rainbow Dash walked through the open field outside of Ponyville.  Twilight dragged them along to help her with an experiment she was working on that involved teleporting things to other worlds. They stopped in a very wide-open spot with no obstructions in the area. "Alright this look's like a decent enough spot for testing. Rainbow Dash can you help me set up my equipment?" Twilight asked her. Rainbow just nodded at her. She didn't really feel like talking today since she was still feeling a bit tired after attempting a few new moves the other day and helping out Applejack with some renovations to the apple farm. "Is there anything I can do Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. She hadn't really been communicating with Twilight for about a week because of how busy she was with this newest experiment. "Oh... um..." Twilight said. "I think... Oh! How about you look around for some stuff I can use to teleport."

"Alright, I'm on it." Without a hitch she ran off to look for something Twilight could use as a guinea pig, so to speak for this experiment. Eventually she came back with some rocks, sticks, and weird berries all of which were wrapped in a small satchel. All of the equipment had been set up. A magnifying glass set hovering over a symbol of what looked like a clock with 8 hands and 24 numbers with a symbol between each hand, all of them in different shapes. There was also a sky blue crystal placed in the center on a stand. She didn’t think she was gone long enough for them to be done though.

“Will these do?” she said after laying the satchel down.

“Yes, thank you Fluttershy.” She looked up to the sky where Dash was holding a circle made up of clouds. The inside was the same size as the symbol on the ground was. “Alright Rainbow Dash, get the ring and place it over the symbol so that the crystal has a direct beam of sunlight!”

“Alright.” She called out. She moved the cloud ring directly under the sun and a beam of light came down on the crystal. It started to turn lighter and lighter eventually turning white and shining radiantly. All of this was interrupted when a strong gust of wind blew some of the mirrors Twilight brought over. The sky started to become even darker and soon even stronger wind was blowing. It was so strong it knocked the cloud off it’s original position and sent the beam to a mirror that reflected off of the crystal and went in the same direction it was headed originally. A bright light flashed and blinded everyone near it. It could even be seen by passers-by in town. Twilight got up and rubbed her eyes while she adjusted them to the sunlight. Rainbow did the same and looked around. “Hey Twilight?” she asked.

“Yeah?”

“Where’s Fluttershy?”
