Fare well out there, friend."   The deer walk back into the woods and out of the scene.  Fluttershy turns and heads back to exit the forest and return home, happily humming to herself and bobbing her head with eyes closed.  As she walks past some bushy foliage, a pair of eyes and antlers peek out and watch her pass.  When she walks out of the frame, they eyes and antlers retract back into the growth and the camera pans to follow a small, obscured deer-looking silhouette as it creeps along the floor to hide in another set of foliage and observe Fluttershy.  She is followed like this without noticing.  Camera pans up to show that she's near the edge of the forest and Ponyville is visible.   Cue Theme song     Act 1 - Something New   Scene 1 - Fluttershy reaches the front door of her cottage, still humming to herself.  She sets down her saddlebags and is about to reach for her door handle when a young voice squeaks "Hi there!" behind her and startles her.  She squeals and jumps straight up in the air, grabbing and clinging onto a tree branch hanging above and shutting her eyes tightly.  After a moment, she opens them and looks down to see an odd young critter gazing up at her with a bright eyed grin.  It looks like a young colt, but has what seem to be branches sticking out of his head.   TBRK:  "Hey!  Sorry I surprised you like that...it's just...wow, I've never seen a doe with wings before!  Or such a pretty colourful coat!  Or such strong legs!  Where are you from?  Are there other does with wings?"   The young colt is practically bouncing up and down with excitement as he looks up at Fluttershy, who is still hanging from the branch, and pelts her with questions.  She calms down and loosens up a bit upon seeing what it is, and flutters gently to the ground.   FSHY: "Oh my, um...actually, I'm not a deer.  I'm a pony.  And um, aren't you..."   She contemplates his horns for a moment, and suddenly gasps in shock   FSHY: "Oh my gosh, what are you doing out here?  Your parents must be worried sick!  Oh my oh my, we need to get you back over there right away!  Oh gosh, I hope they don't get mad at me..."   Fluttershy fusses and runs around in a panic trying to gather up her saddlebag again.  Treebark gazes at her incredulously as she runs around, then he speaks up   TBRK: "Hey, it's no big deal.  We wander around all the time.  As long as all the fawns get back before the sun goes down, they let us run around wherever we want!  Besides, I can take care of myself.  These antlers aren't just for show, heheh..."   Fluttershy stops running about and calms down a bit   FSHY: "Oh...well, I suppose if it's all right with them...but um, why did you follow me all the way out here?"   TBRK: "Because I've never seen a pony before!  Those wings are so cool!  Do all ponies have wings?  Hey, what are those things by your tail?  They look like butterflies!  Do all ponies have butterflies instead of spots like Does have?"   FSHY: "Goodness, um...
