The crowd dispersed, with a tone of confusion and curiosity in the conversation. Fluttershy quickly navigated her way out of the crowd as it dispersed, while Pinkie Pie chased after her.

"Fluttershy!" Pinkie said loudly as she came up beside Fluttershy, "Where are you going?"

Fluttershy continued trotting "Home, I guess."

"Don't you want to go anywhere else? what about that guy, didn't he say something about meeting up with you later?"

Fluttershy trotted a little faster, "I don't really know what he wants, but I get a odd, feeling, from him..."

Pinkie gave a look of confusion, and said "Well, are you sure you just want to go home?"

"Yes, I think I should just go home and stay around my animal friends."

"Fluttershy, you can't stay coddled up forever, besides..." Pinkie looked ahead for a second, and back to Fluttershy, "Um, Omnitardis or whatever his name is... is right there."

Fluttershy stopped instantly, and Omnitreza came up to her with an odd countenance, "Well, I was hoping to get this meeting done with quickly."

Fluttershy looked back at Pinkie, whom shrugged, "Umm, why do you want to meet with me? Did I do something wrong...?"

Omnietreza didn't change his look, "I can tell you dislike crowds, and I want to know more about what you know."

"About what?"

"Everything in that there forest."

Pinkie Pie came up, "Oh, Fluttershy knows a lot about animals! She even takes care of them for a living, sort of."

Omnitreza raised an eyebrow at Pinkie, and muttered something to himself, before saying, "Well, I guess that makes things all the more easier. So you’re the baker I have heard about?"

Pinkie smiled, "Am I really that famous?!"

Omnitreza responded "Well, I just have sources. On another note, I was also planning on talking with you too, I have a traveling booth for interviewing various locals wherever I go. But first I want to get some information from, Fluttershy is it?"

Fluttershy looked away, "Uh, yes."

"Alright, now we can head to your house or my trailer, either or." Said Omnitreza.

Fluttershy thought for a second, "I can make some tea at my place..."

"PERFECT! Your house it is!" Said Omnitreza as he went off down the road speedily, "Come on! Don't be shy now!"
Fluttershy looked to Pinkie, and they both shrugged.

"Hmm, nice place you have here, especially considering the animals." Said Omnitreza while he put his jacket on a stand, "So you have animal pens and all set up outside?"

Fluttershy trotted toward the kitchen, "Yea, I have some chickens, birds, bees, and anything you can find around here."

Omnitreza nodded, and went over to pet Angel, whom reacted with acts of aggression.

"Your rabbit here is rather, unpleasant."

Fluttershy looked over, "Oh, that's just Angel, he doesn't like it when someone takes attention from him."

"Oh, so you spoi-nevermind." said Omnitreza, apparently holding his toungue

Fluttershy trotted back into the kitchen and prepared some tea leaves while the water warmed. With a glimpse into the living room Omnitreza seemed to be doing just fine with the other animals. Though she still did not know about his name, something was odd about it.

A few minutes later Fluttershy came back into the main room with some tea, as her odd visitor continued looking around her cottage, checking around drawers and such. She kind of wanted to say something. It felt, invasive, but she did not want to be a jerk about it.

"Um..." she managed to say.

Omnitreza looked at her, and said "Well, tell me about it."

"What?"

"The forest, everything you have seen!"

"I don't know..."

Omnitreza gave an eerie grin, and said, "Now now, this is for the security of Equestria. I will let you in on a secret, but don't tell any pony."

Fluttershy looked at him, and nodded cautiously, as he continued "I am working on forming a new program, of which will have control of the contact between the population, and creatures of 'interest'."

Fluttershy wasn't sure what to think of that, "Doesn't the Princess run those sorts of things?"

"There is a lot more bureaucracy in Canterlot than meets the eye. I personally, am worried that relying on harmony to keep things straight will soon fail, and we will need a fall back." He said, as he looked out the window, "Just look, Celestia's old foes continue to rise. Why? Because she is becoming too weak to run the advancements of Equestria. We need the system I have proposed to take over if, or more likely when, the princess can no longer run Equestria."

Fluttershy sat there thinking about this. Her whole life she had believed in harmony, and saw that in the gravest of disaster, that it pulled through. Yet, Omnitreza's words were convincing, but she still didn't know all about this plan of his.

"Well, I guess you have some points..."

"Yes, I do. Trust me, Equestria is not going to stay sovereign like it is now, if we do not enact a new system." Omnitreza then turned around, "Besides, a part of Equestria's history show that it had needed to change before... Do you know about the lycan clans?"

Fluttershy stopped breathing for a second as her heart skipped a beat, "Lycan... clans?"

Omnitreza laughed "It is a part of history our Princess tries to keep covered up. In fact, it shows my proposal works."

Fluttershy sat there trying to think of something, but she could only manage "U-Uh, what were they...?"

"The clans, in early times, were groups of ponies who gathered the lycan curse. Before, they stayed together to fight off the civilization that hunted them down, and often ended up in violent clashes. It was not until the Princess finally came into terms with the fact that they had to be kept separate from normal civilization, under structured rule. They were all taken, some quietly to avoid their friends knowing what they were, some fighting it. In the end, they all accepted their fate and went to these secluded colonies, under the rule of an intelligent visionary, who kept them from hurting the rest of Equestria or each other."

Fluttershy was not sure whether or not to believe this, but it made some sense. Although, she did not feel right believing the Princess couldn't handle a feud with ways they had dealt with other problems, harmony.

Omnitreza walked toward Fluttershy slowly, "Yet, it was not perfect, it required a lot of trial and error, and many years of improvements. Some lycans would escape feeling that their rights were violated, and their harmony was not good enough. But eventually, we got it into their heads that they all could live in their utopia, while Equestria could live like a neighboring utopia. Thus proving that structures and heavy rules CAN keep harmony, while leaving ponies to fend for themselves will always run in a circle of hate and love."

Fluttershy looked away as Omnitreza as he stared at her intensely for the next few moments. Eventually he spoke up, "I will let that sink in and leave you be. But be warned, my presence here is not only that of speaking to crowds, but perhaps to further enforce the structures."

Fluttershy looked back to him as he headed for the door, and without any words stopping him, he left.

In the next moments, Fluttershy felt sick to the stomach. Over thinking challenges to her normal way of thinking was getting to her, and she had an intense worry that he might have been looking for the Lycan residing in her home...
