No make diwty! No wan' sowwy stick!” she says, panicking > You may have been overly harsh in punishing fluffy pony that time she trampled shit across the carpet > Fluffy pony raises her leg above the foal, and brings her hoof down > The bleating stops > You rush across the room, and pick fluffy pony up before she can harm her other baby > Lock her in the safe room, then go back to see if you can help the remaining foal > It's still breathing > Wipe the slime of it with a damp sponge, and wrap it in a tea towel > Dig fluffy pony's old bottle out from the back of the cupboard > Spend the next few days looking after the foal, while fluffy pony is confined to her room > Soon she can walk, and has started spouting the usual fluffy pony dialogue > Introduce her to fluffy pony > Both start babbling about 'new fwen' and hugging each other > Everything seems to be going OK, even if fluffy pony doesn't recognise the foal as her daughter > After a few hours of playing, foal must be getting hungry > Instinctively tries suckle fluffy pony's teats > Fluffy pony freaks out > “Wape! Bad touch! Wape!” she screams > Fluffy pony kicks the foal away, then runs and hides under the sofa > You're forced to donate the foal to the local shelter > Just say her mother rejected her, don't go into details > How the fuck did these creatures survive one generation outside the lab?
