- A young red haired woman cradling a earth fluffy walked up a long
- drive way. The fluffy squirmed under her grasp.
- “Weg ouchie wan sis wan huggies no wike you!”
- “Shh little one we are almost there.”
- Reaching a gated bridge she fumbled the pony into one hand and hit the intercom.
- “Hello is anyone there.”
- The response was quick polite and firm
- “Please leave my property.”
- The young woman held the pony up to the intercom.
- “I've got some thing that belongs to you i think. i found a Fluffy
- Pony limping up the road.”
- The earth fluffy spoke into the intercom
- “Momie i haf booboo no can walk. I sowwy I get unda fence again.”
- “ Christ Apple Bloom, I'll open the gate and meet you half way.”
- A few minutes later she was met on the road by an older woman her hair
- also red but peppered with gray.
- “God damn this fluffy she keeps getting out! Did you bring your
- friends this time bloom?”
- The pony respond like a petulant child.
- Day fwardy ponies so i go my sewf! Jackie say i foal an need stay
- cwose. I big fwuffy I go adventure find fwuffy mark ... den bad doggie
- scare me and i wun fast! I faww down get ouchie nice wady gif pony
- back wide home.
- “Bloom I'm going to take a look at your leg and then your going to
- spend the rest of the day in the bad fluffy house.
- The fluffy eyes filled with tears as she was handed over to her owner.
- “Pwease no bad fwuffy house . . . ”
- “Ihanks im..”
- Doctor Faust I know you interned with my father after you got out of Princeton.
- The doctor frowned.
- “Let me guess on of the professors daughters is a cop, the others a
- kindergarten teacher, that leaves the reporter right? Old people love
- facebook tokid.”
- “It's just no ones gotten the whole store about where fluffy ponies
- came from and how they got out. You are the only one not still working
- for the company .
- “You lucky i had a crush on your old man. Walk with me kid I'll teach
- you something about fluffies.
- Ten minutes later they reached a field next to an old farm house. It
- was full of old playground equipment and plastic play houses. Two
- dozen fluffy ponies of every age type and size trotted about chasing
- butterflies pulling toy carts full of foals and everywhere the sound
- of childish babbling.
- “Pwetty bug come here fwuffy wan see you.”
- “Foals no eat dat onwy eat nummy gween gwasses.”
- “Pinky fwuff no gif foals snackies they wan pway aww night and no
- sweepie wif mama an papa fwuffies.”
- A blond colored fluffie in a straw hat galloped over at full speed.
- “Bwoom bad foal! wun away make jackie worry! what i teww gwanny if u
- no come back?
- The older fluffy moved to bop the younger one on the nose but the
- Doctor cough her hoof.
- “Apple jack leave your sister be. Go get me my ouchie kit and she ll
- see spend the rest of the day in the bad fluffy house. “
- The fluffy puffed her self up with rage stomped her tiny hoof and
- trotted off returning with a first aid kit in her mouth. The Doctor
- took a bandage roll out of the kit wrapped the fluffies leg and told
- her sister to put the kit away.
- “Apple bloom you want to be a big girl you get treated like one, go .”
- She frowned and limped over to a fluffie sized prison and hopped
- inside. She sat sulking as other fluffy ponies walk past and
- snickered.
- The doctor turned to her guest.
- “This is what they were meant for, playing house. Every one of these
- was abandoned, born feral or foal born here. They can all talk baby
- English and know the same list of shapes and colors we programed into
- their genome. That is unless the mother or foal was malnourished at
- certain stages that's how you get fluffies too stupid not shit in each
- others faces or try to mate with sharp objects.”
- The reporter bent down to pet a passing gray Pegasus with a blonde
- mane and a crossed eye before speaking.
- “And fluffsplsion?”
- “Their waste disposal organs are a bit too efficient and if the
- mothers diet is just right and her or the foal is a unicorn able to
- make sparks some time rarely, yes it can happen. They were never meant
- to live on nachos and sprite. Hell the fourth gen fluffies where never
- meant to be sold to the public unless they were sterilized. We planned
- on a fifth gen fluffie that could have one foal maybe twice in a
- lifetime. Zero or negative population growth, so people would have to
- keep coming back to the company if they want more. What those Peta
- nuts let loose were industrial breeding machines meant to meet an
- expected huge demand for Christmas after launch of the product line.
- Hell the dams cant fucking walk they get so huge!”
- “So you actually though of this stuff when you made them? Most people
- just call the escape near D.C. a jump-start on that would happen
- anyway. I mean the bone structure on the Pegasus alone
- The Doc cut in sounding annoyed.
- “I told them making something that could glide was irresponsible but
- they wanted to show the press and kids everywhere something amazing
- they said!”
- “A little purple fluffy with a roll of paper in her mouth waddled up
- the humans and ran in circles mumbling until the Doctor took the
- paper.
- “Mama I haf wetta fo pwencess pwease call dwagon!”
- The doctor smiles takes out a lighter walks outside of "town" and
- burns the paper. A few fluffies gather around and marveling at the
- flames.
- “ooooomagic dwagon bweath”
- The little purple pony ran in circles
- I twell pwincess widdle fwuffy named bwoom went 'sloring an new fwen
- bwing home wif bobo! Wession is no weave 'questria! Dis is one hoovie,
- two hoovie, three hoovie, four hoovie, dis da fouth time bwoom wean
- dis wession. I hope widdle fwuffy wearn dis time pwincess tink bad
- fwuffies wive here!
- She toddles off and the doctor smiles.
- “Twilight there used to be in a traveling show, with a fake alicorn. A
- puppet made from fluffies. she did the real “magic tricks” and though
- the princess was her teacher. Best damn telekinetic I've seen the
- prototypes weren’t as good as she is. The show shut down and they sent
- her here telling her the princess sent her to learn about friendship.”
- “Wow thats cute and sad.”
- “Thats fluffies in a nutshell. I know I keep saying this, but they
- were never meant to deal with cruelty we never gave them that. They
- were designed to be in suburban living rooms having pretend tea
- parties and exploring fenced in yards with there k-12 year old owners.
- That and eating canned food bought from the company that made them of
- course. Before you ask they crave a “you know what” because its cheap
- and i lived on the stuff for years.”
- The reporter laughed.
- “If i say the words will there be a fluffy stamped?”
- “No just a ton of crying and begging. now if they were underfeed
- something every other animal has instinct for maybe.”
- “No instincts?”
- “The board of directors told us to make them as child proof as humanly
- possible. They could only rarely scratch or bite and even then
- shouldn't be able to really hurt anyone. The unicorns horns they made
- an exception for because how good it look for the press. There brains
- are modified from a rabbits with a speech center modded after a three
- year old. My cousins kid . . . she's a teenager now. Fucking hates
- fluffies goes through them faster than condoms. The little bitch I
- swear smarty friends are a bit of her we left in.”
- “I was going to ask about smarty friends.”
- We programed them to defer to humans as default pack leaders. We never
- imagined fluffies on their own with most or all humans seen as bad or
- out to hurt them. Hell half the time they defer to humans even if they
- know they WILL hurt them. Give that position to another fluffy pony
- and they think they can do no wrong. No wonder fluffies with that
- mindset turn into assholes they think that's part of the job. Still if
- you knew my cousins kid id swear it was her in those fluff-balls.
- “How do you feel about what happened after the escape. The way they've
- worked there way into the ecosystem?”
- A pair of passing Pegasus, one blue with a rainbow mane was picking on
- a smaller orange one with a purple mane.
- “You widdwe fwuffy, no weaddy fo fwying wingies to tiny scootawoo hehehe.”
- The younger fluffies eyes teared up.
- “i big fwuffy dashie wan fwy wike you. Pwease tell how fwy!”
- The Doctor stepped in.
- Rainbow Dash can't fly Scooaloo shes just a good glider. Dash if catch
- you talking like that again its the bad fluffy house next to Apple
- Bloom! Talk like that makes Pegasus get them selves killed trying to
- fly!
- Dash the blue fluffy stomped her little hoof and spoke loudly.
- “I fwy an wive on cwoud and you jus jealous !”
- “Dash if you keep this up i'll clip your wings and you wont be gliding
- or flying anymore understand me?”
- The ponies eye grew wide with fear.
- “I ..... sowwy! ....pwaease no cwip wingies......wuv gwide down fwom
- apple tree.!
- It then galloped off with the orange one in tow.
- “It ok dashie i beweave you fwy!”
- The doctor turned back to the younger woman.
- “They aren't fitting into the ecosystem kid. They are scavengers and
- food for anything else that can stand to chew through the fluff. They
- survive because of the speed of their reproduction that's all. Sure
- they can be smart but they don't have the tools or the lifespan to
- develop that at all. They get six years tops under optimum lab
- perfect conditions. Four years under normal household conditions as a
- pet and maybe two years in the wild if they are extremely lucky.
- That's not enough time for them to learn, I know we planed it that
- way. We didn't want them getting TO smart.”
- The reporter looked sad as a pair of white unicorns trotted past
- pulling a toy wagon full of doll clothing.
- “We wook pwetty fo party tonight sis!”
- “ They are toys kiddo that is all. We designed fluffy ponies on almost
- ever level to be toys to PREVENT them hurting some bratty kid that
- treated them like crap or to screw up the environment if they got out
- in the wild. Like I already told you if not for the animal loving nuts
- breaking out what amounted to a herd of biological toy factories they
- wouldn’t even be an issue! I respect you father and all but if there
- isn't anything else kid i've got a few pounds of pony chow to hand out
- for dinner. I like to throw them a party every month or so, least I
- can do really.”
- “Just ... people are really mean to fluffy ponies i mean their your
- creations and all how does that make you feel.”
- “People play with toys however they want kiddo. It's really nothing we
- didn't consider the scale is just larger. Now Blossum is it ? Please
- tell Professor Utonuim I send my best, but its time for you to leave.
- The reporter smiled before turning to leave.
- “Goodbye doctor Faust.”
