"Fluffy Research" 2/?

>You are Dylan, a freelance researcher, mid 20’s, brown hair, lazy attitude and you’re a complete nerd.

>You just got hired by the WWF to study a new type of “animal” that's becoming a problem worldwide.

>They call it a "Fluffy pony"

>You've never heard of such a thing and took the case out of curiosity.

>Man was that a stupid idea, you had no idea working with them would be this hard.

 

>”Hewwo? Fwuffy awone in dawk box, no wike! Pwease wet out!” One of the fluffies shouts out startling you.

>”Whoa, hey there little guy, you want out huh? Ok then”

>you gently lift each cage out of the box and put them down side by side on your work desk.

>You’re greeted by six fluffies staring at you from the cages; they all look at you with big pleading eyes.

>”Uh… Hello? My name is Dylan…” You manage to speak up.

>”Hewwo Dywan! My name Leewoy, this sistah Pwum and my bwothew Jeff” one of the fluffies answers.

>”Ok I guess. So you’re going to be living here now then huh?

All right, I’ve set-up a safe room of sorts for you over in the corner.

There’s a bed, food, water, some toys and a litter box. You’re free to do anything you like, but no special hugs! I don’t want any more of your kind living in here.”

>The fluffies just nod in acceptance; they have nothing against your rules.

>With the new arrivals taken care of, you go back to your observation post and look for any feral fluffy herds. You sit there for hours, but see no herds at all; the land around you seems barren.

>You check your watch, its 9P.M; you decide to stop looking for the day. You haven’t had any food for hours either.

>You leave the post, walk over to the kitchen and start working on some dinner, bean soup sounds good today.

>Halfway through cooking the beans you’re interrupted by the proximity alarm going off, It’s distinctive sound can’t be missed; “Beap, Beap, Beap, Beap”

>You quickly turn on the closest screen and start looking at the webcam footage, it’s empty.

>”The sensor must be broken, dang-“

> you’re cut short when you notice a small, bright, red hairy dot appearing on the feed from the cave entrance camera, It’s a fluffy pony!

>Dropping everything, you lock your eyes to the screen and watch the fluffy closely.

>It just stands there for a while, looking into the cave. It’s probably listening, trying to hear any danger inside, you write this down in your notes.

>When you look up again the fluffy’s moved a bit into the cave, you now see it’s a Pegasus.

>It looks about the cave, lies down on the ground to test it, drinks some of the water and checks it for any danger.

>The behavior baffles you; you never knew fluffies could be so strategic or consistent in what they do.

>Half an hour later, the Pegasus is done and walks out of the cave and heads west.

>Your run over to your look-out post and search the bush for it, you struggle at first, but you soon find it walking slowly towards a rather large bush, it looks like it’s speaking to the bush.

>The Pegasus goes in, stays there for about 5 min and comes out again; you find the behavior odd and write this down.

> Shortly after, a medium sized herd comes walking out of the bush, you count 21 fluffies and 4 dams.

>The Pegasus then takes lead and takes the fluffies to your cave, you sit down, activate the mics and listen in.

>”dish ewe good cawe I tawk about, keep hewd wawm duwing cowd time” The Pegasus exclaims cheerfully, it’s quickly silenced by a wack on the nose from a purple Pegasus.

>”How yuk no dis nu bad cawe? Mabe cawe huwt hewd? Den yoo bad fwuffy!” The purple Pegasus shouts to the now gently weeping red Pegasus, your best guess is that the Purple mean Pegasus must be the herds “smarty friend”.

>”I only fwuffy da know if pwace guu o’ bad fo hewd! I go look.” The purple Pegasus speaks before it walks into the cave and looks about, you write this down in your notes.

>The smarty friend does exactly the same things as the red one did, it checks the ground temperature, looks about and checks the water.

>Satisfied with its findings the smarty friend walks back to the herd again.

>”dis good cawe, hewd saf hewe. We stay and be saf fwon munstas.” It says, electing a cheer from the herd in front of it.

>Shortly after, the some fluffies push the pregnant dams slowly into the cave; they stop them gently in the small hole you made for them by the cave wall.

>Once the dams are settled in the rest of the herd walk in and look about the cave, a lot of them quickly run over to the small spring you made, and drink all the water they can.

>Finishes, the fluffies walk back to the herd and do what they feel like, some of them talk, and some play.

>You start focusing on the three mares with foals.

>The first one is a yellow unicorn with a pink mane, she’s currently feeding her two foals, randomly saying”wuv babbhes, dwink miwk, miwk goo’ fo babbhes” You herd the mare you had in your lab say these exact words too, maybe they’re programmed to say them?

>The second one is a black Pegasus with a blue mane, as the unicorn, she’s also busy feeding her four foals.

> The third one puzzles you however, shes a standard blue unicorn with a purple mane, but she seems on edge, looking at the herd with doubting eyes, quickly collecting her 3 foals if any stallion walk by. When she feeds her foals, she does it in a strange way; she lies down in a corner with her back towards the herd while the foals suckle milk from her teats, as if she’s protecting them from her own herd.

>You’ll have to keep a close eye on her and how the herd deals with her strange behavior.

>You look over at the herd and watch as they all go outside the cave to do their business.

>They then come back inside and start piling up into a fluffpile, puzzled you look at your watch and notice it’s almost midnight.

>You watch the herd as they all pile up, dams by the wall, then the mares with foals plus the smarty friend, followed by the mares without foals and then the stallions out on the edge.

>You look at the cute sight and crack a small smile; these things sure can be cute at times.

 > Content with the day, you walk over to your bed and go to sleep.
