=======================================================================================================================================
>You are the unicorn leader of a herd of feral fluffy ponies
>You and your people are escaping the coming winter and following a fluffy pony named Wiggly to his home
>His *human* home
>The journey has taken you a full day already
>Wiggly told you it was a long trip
>5 whole miles
>The top speed of the average fluffy pony is about 5 miles an hour
>Meaning the trip took Wiggly about an hour, which to a fluffy pony seems like a really long time
>You of course don't understand any of this
>As smart as the brave leader Raindancer is, you are still a fluffy pony and as such have a terrible understanding of time, distance and velocity
>Anyway...
>There were 50 of you when you left
>Traveling in a pack makes things extremely difficult for fluffies
>As said, the trip has taken your group an entire day
>They get distracted by pretty flowers and get left behind and someone has go back and get them
>Not a minute goes by without some fluffy having to stop for a shit
>Their little legs get tired quickly and they have to stop for a break
>Others volunteer to carry the tired ones on their back but the added weight tires them out even faster and they both have to stop for a break
>Some fluffies just forget to keep walking and stop to randomly hug each other
>You have to pull them apart and get them moving again
>"Awe we thewe yet?"
>That one fucking sentence! Over and over again!
>One might say fluffies aren't meant to be nomads
>You say fuck that noise!
>Making it through adversities like this is exactly the kind of thing the brave leader Raindancer prides himself on!
>Many of the fluffies fell into rivers or got stuck in thorn bushes along the way
>Whether or not to waste even more time helping them out is a tough choise
>Some got out quickly, others didn't
>Being a leader means minimizing your people's suffering, many lives had to be ended
>Everyone but you, Wiggly and your friend and advisor Rustle were concidered expendable
>The pregnant mares recieved extra help too
>Wiggly was the worst
>When he wasn't getting stuck between rocks or something, he was complaining about one thing or another
>"Weggies huwt" "Mud no smeww pwetty" "Wiggwy wan' food"
>Bah! Stupid weakling pet pony!
>However, he did make for the most interesting conversation around
>He told you all about the human's house
>"The big white gate with food inside" and "the little river that never freezes" are the things that most interest you about your new home
>When you finally arrive at Wiggly's home, there are 28 of you left
>You, Wiggly, Rustle, 6 pregnant mares, 6 foals and 13 of the strongest and smartest males
>The house is right there in the middle of the woods
>It's big and red just like Wiggly told you
>"Hewe we awe" Wiggly says
>Joy and relief overtake the herd as they gaze upon their new home
>You stare at the house, not batting an eyelash
>Who knows what wicked things the human has stored there
>"Why Waindancew no happy?" Rustle comes up and asks
>"Oh, Waindancew vewy happy" you answer, still staring at the house
>You sure don't look happy
>"Wustwe" you say "No fwuffy go inside 'till I inspect, 'kay?"
>Rustle nods and leaves to tend the herd
>"Wiggwy, pwease, show me awound"
>"Okay, fwiend!" he answers
>You follow him to the house through the pet door
>It sure is warm in there
>The way the walls just stand there limiting your movement is creepy
>The ceiling blocking the sunlight is equally creepy
>There are little transparent spots in the walls where you can see outside
>The ground is hard like a rock yet warm
>This place is fucking weird
>Wiggly shows you to the kitchen
>"Hewe is white food gate" he tells you
>You grab the little appendage on it with your teeth and pull
>The gate opens as expected, revealing an abundance of fresh food inside
>There are also some weird, metallic tube things in there
>You suspect these hold some sort of human food inside them
>Your fluffies aren't gonna eat it, that's for sure
>"And hewe is small wivew tha' don' fweeze" Wiggly continues his tour
>Wiggly is pointing up at a ledge
>You jump up to see what he's talking about
>Another weird metallic thing
>Once again, you pull on the little appendage on it and just as you thought, a little streams starts running
>You push the appendage down and it stops
>This is pretty much all you needed to know
>Yet Wiggly wants to show you more
>He shows you the bathroom
>He explains how the thing on the wall makes an even bigger river
>"Bu' dadde sez tha's no fow fwuffie's use"
>No one here gives a fuck what your "daddy" says, Wiggly...
>"And dis is whewe Wiggwy make poopies... Sometimes"
>What's that supposed to mean?
>"Most times Wiggwy make poopies outside in gawden. Dadde sez fwuffy poo make food gwow fwom gwound"
>Suddenly Wiggly becomes real quiet
>"But fwuffies no poopies on fwoow or get sowwy stick" he shudders at his own mention of the enigmatic sorry stick
>You've been meaning to ask about that
>You've been meaning to ask about that
>"Wiggwy, wha' is sowwy stick?"
>Wiggly stares at the floor for a while before slowly walking over to a corner, you follow him
>"Dis is sowwy stick..."
>Wiggly points at a big stick leaning against the wall
>It has some kind of bristle at one end
>A big stick reserved for punishing bad fluffies
>You kinda like that idea
>Doesn't seem like something a fluffy could easily handle though
>You'll find a way
>"Wha' excactwy happen to youw dadde?" you ask
>"Wiggwy dunno. One day dadde pick up boomstick and go ou'. Dadde awways come back, bu' no' dis time."
>Boomstick, huh? So this human's a hunter
>You secretly hope a fucking bear mauled him to death
>Wiggly remains silent for a second and continues the tour
>There are lots of warm, soft places to sleep
>Nothing outside of the food gate and the mini-river really inpresses you
>Wiggly takes you to the living room
>"Dis whewe dadde and Wiggwy watch movies togethew" Wiggly says
>You immediately jump on the tv stand and kick the thing as hard as you can, breaking the screen
>"Wah? Nuuuuuuu!" Wiggly cries
>"Quiet!" you yell "Fwuffies wiww watch no human gawbage in dis house any wongew!"
>There are tears in Wiggly's eyes
>He can't believe what just did to his favourite toy
>Pathetic pet pony...
>You don't even know what a tv is, but it looked exactly like the kind of wicked human contraption that could easily poison a fluffy's mind
>And judging by Wiggly's reaction, it already has
>You've seen enough
>Wiggly has explained to you all he can, the tour ends here
>You go back outside through the pet door
>Wiggly follows, still mourning the loss of the tv
>"Fwuffies can go in now" you tell your people "Pwaised be Fwuddy God!"
>"Pwaised be! Pwaised be!" the herd yells as they squeeze through the hole in the door
>Upon seeing so many excited ponies, Wiggly gets excited too, forgetting all about his sorrows
>"Wiggwy!" you catch his attention as he too tries to force himself through the pet door
>"We stiww need tawk"
>Wiggly looks at you confused
>You start walking across the yard
>When you came to the house, you noticed a little stream run past the frontyard behind some bushes
>You go there
>Wiggly follows
>All the others are inside
>You and Wiggly stand there alone
>"Wiggwy, you know tha' hewd fwuffies and human fwiend fwuffies no make easy fwiends, wight?"
>Wiggly doesn't seem to understand
>"Hewd fwuffies and human fwiend fwuffies vewy diffewen', Wiggwy"
>"B-bu' Wiggwy make g-good fwiends wid hewd fwuffies. Wiggwy make good f-fwiends wid Waindancew" he stutters in confusion "W-wiggwy wuv Waindancew!"
>"No Wiggwy. No' good fwiends wid Waindancew. Waindancew can nevew wuv fwiend of humans" you state calmly
>Wiggly starts to tear up again
>"No wuv Wiggwy?" he whimpers
>"Wiggwy's wuv make hewd human fwiends too" you say "Waindancew can no' we' tha' happen"
>Wiggly is openly sobbing
>You bow, hanging your head below his
>"May Fwuffy God have mewcy on you, Wiggwy. And angews take you to pwace whewe fwuffies nevew go hungwy" you whisper
>*STAB*
>With a speed almost unnatural for a fluffy, you drive your horn into his jugular vein, pinning him to the tree behind him
>Wiggwy tries tries to scream, but only comes out
>You block his flailing forehooves with your own and start shaking your head left and right, stretching the wound, allowing him to die faster
>Within 10 seconds he stops moving
>You drag him over by your horn and throw him into the stream
>His body floats away
>You take a deep breath and submerge your head in the water, letting the stream wash the blood off
>You pull out, shake your head to dry off and head inside
>At the door there's Rustle, blocking your path
>"Move, Wustwe" you demand
>He doesn't comply
>"No Waindancew, answew fiwst" he says "Why kiww Wiggwy, Waindancew?"
>Rustle couldn't have seen what you did
>But Rustle is smarter than the average fluffy, he can just tell
>"Why Waindancew?" he repeats
>"Beacuse Wiggwy was menace to hewd's integwity" you answer "Wiggwy would make us aww weak wike him"
>"Wiggwy was no menace! Wiggwy was fwiend to hewd!" Rustle insists
>"He was menace. Wiggwy would spoiw aww ouw bwains! Smawty fwiend says so!" you shout
>Rustle stares at you saying nothing
>You can see hatred in his eyes
>The two of you are best friends, he wouldn't think of hurting you
>"Fine den" Rustle says with a hint of sarcasm in his voice "If smawty fwiend says so"
>Rustle steps aside, letting you pass
>"Wustwe wiww thank Waindancew fow dis one day" you proclaim "Waindancew is awways wight"
>After walking past Rustle you turn your head back at him
>"Thewe nevew was a Wiggwy, 'kay?"
>Rustle takes moment to answer
>"Rustwe wan' thewe to be a Wiggwy..."
>"Do you awso wan' thewe to be a Wustwe? I do..."
>Upon hearing your threatening words, Rustle's expression contorts into one of shock
>"Was thewe evew a Wiggwy?" you ask again
>Dead silence
>"No... Thewe nevew was a Wiggwy..." he whispers in shame and fear
>"Good. You wiww thank Waindancew fow dis one day" you say as you disappear through the pet door "Waindancew is awways wight"
