- >Today is the Day of Thanks in Ponyville.
- >The town is decorated with all the festivities.
- >Banners, massive pumpkins, baskets of fruits and floral arrangements.
- >Wild turkey roam the streets.
- >You walk down a side street with a cigarette in-mouth.
- >What do you have to be thankful for?
- >Your friends, Twilight and the gang.
- >Your home, given at no charge.
- >You lead a plain life.
- >Some would call it boring.
- >Nothing exciting ever happens here.
- >Walking past a dumpster, you notice a hoof on the ground.
- >Fluttershy lays against the brick wall of a building.
- >The bags under her eyes indicate a lack of sleep.
- >Her mane is disheveled and falls into her eyes.
- >A package of sliced turkey lays beside her half eaten.
- >You bend down to her.
- >Her bloodshot eyes open and look up to you half focused.
- >"H-hi Anon..."
- Fluttershy, what are you doing?
- >It's morning, so there's still some chill in the air along with a thick fog.
- >She looks cold.
- >Probably been out here all night.
- >"I'm celebrating the Day of Thanks..."
- >You take a seat next to her and help yourself to a piece of turkey.
- >It tastes old.
- >Life had been hard for this pony after her house burned down a few months back.
- >No one really paid attention.
- >Fluttershy had become 'that dirty vagabond pony'.
- >The pony who frequented the bakery for their day-old bread.
- >The pony who used that bread to feed ducks at the pond instead of herself.
- >No one understood her.
- >They just turned their heads away as she would slink into the alleys at night to root through trash.
- >Fluttershy nods back off into her dreams as you sit by her.
- >You snuff your cigarette and stand.
- >You remove your jacket and place it over her shivering body.
- >She mumbles something about something of harmony.
- >The sun is obscured behind clouds.
- >Ponies go about their business preparing for holiday feasts and celebrations.
- >No one pays any mind to the alley.
- >The alley where that strange pony loiters.
- >You bend down and rub Fluttershy's mane.
- >It's dirty and covered in twigs, mud, sap and other bits of rubbish.
- >You turn and continue your walk back home.
- >Maybe you would have enough bits to afford a small package of turkey for yourself.
- >Perhaps you'd bring it back to the alley to share.
- >It begins to rain as you light your last cigarette.
- >Nothing exciting ever happens here.
