>Be a brown fluffy earth pony.
>You've always lived in the alleyways of the suburbs.
>Sometimes you see other fluffy ponies behind fences. They're lucky and have daddies.
>You've never had a daddy, but you get by. Always find foodies and wa-wa, and you have a box that keeps you warm.
>Nice wooden box, in back of alley. Sometimes humans come by and feed you candies. You like that!
>They get angry when you follow them and ask for more, so you know not to.
>Wake up.
>You yawn, go poopies away from box, and start looking for food.
>Suddenly see a red fluffy unicorn! Not behind a fence, just digging through garbage! Like you!
>Run up to her. She's a mare!  She's sad!
>"Daddy..." she mewls, chewing on a wrapper.
>"New fwend?" you coo. "Fwuffy new fwend?" She's crying. she needs a hug! "Huggsies!"
>Red jumps and whimpers at you. "New fwend? Wan' daddy... Red wan' daddy."
>Huh? She has a daddy? Why isn't she behind a fence?
>Your hugs aren't cheering her up at all! What a freak!
>You're really hungry. Tummy growls.
>Red whimpers. "Hungwy? Red hungwy too..."
>Walk down alleyway a bit. Red is following you.
>"Fwuffy hungwy," she whines. "Fwuffy hungwy..."
>You're hungry too. Why is she whining so much?
>Suddenly smell something good!
>Dig through garbage pile.
>Find a half-eaten hamburger!
>"Foodies!" you cheer.  Start eating. Bread, meat, lettuce, funny saucies! Best day ever!
>"Foodies?" Red mewls. She butts up next to you and starts eating your food!
>"No!" you push her. "Fwuffy fin' foodies! Fwuffy eat fiwst!"
>She sniffs and cries. "But fwuffy hungwy too... Daddy wet fwuffy eat when hungwy!."
>She tries to butt back in.  "Wet fwuffy eat too! Pwese!"
>You groan and eat your half while she eats her's. She's such a meany. Go find your own food.
>Fill up on hamburger. Only ate some of it! You'll have to come back later for more.
>You hope you remember it.
>Walk around alley. Fun fun. Sky is pretty. Some flowers are pretty. Smell pretty too!
>Make more poopies near gutter.
>Red won't stop following you!
>She keeps crying and asking for her daddy!
>Ugh.  You're kind of bored.
>"Pway?" you ask Red.
>Red sniffs and nods. "Pway Tag? Red pway Tag wit' daddy."
>Again with the daddy.
>You once played Tag with a human child! Then his mummah dragged him off.  So you know the rules.
>"Tag!" you pat Red with your paw. "Yuu it!"
>You laugh and run around.  Haha, this is fun!
>Red's barely moving. She stumbles toward you, and then looks around miserably.
>"Red wan' daddy to pway too!"  She starts sobbing.
>You sigh.  Worst game of tag ever.
 
>Long time later, sunny-shines are going away.
>Hurry back to box! It gets cold fast, and scary monsters come out at night.
>Red is struggling to keep up.
>Feel bad. You can't leave her behind.
>Unless a monster shows up. Then it's every fluffy for himself.
>"Huwwy!" you moan. "Red mus' huwwy! Scawwy munstahs come when sunny-shine goes away!"
>Red cries harder and runs into you in a panic. "Munstah?? Wan' daddy! Daddy, Hewp! Hewp!"
>You run to the box, and Red keeps crashing into you. Is she trying to hug you and run at the same time?
>Finally reach big wood box.  
>So big and cozy. Keeps sky-wa-wa out. Keeps cold windies out. Keeps bright sunnies out. Keeps monsters out.
>You curl up in the box. Red is still whimpering outside in the dark.
>"Get in box, fwend!" you call. "Huwwy, fwend!"
>Red smiles weakly at you as she enters. "Red wuv new fwend."
>You don't really love Red that much. She's annoying.
>"Fwuffy wuv new fwend," you find yourself saying anyway. "Sweepy time now!"
>Very long night.
>Red keeps mumbling "Daddy" in her sleep.
>It's cold.
>Red is cuddling into you. Not used to sleeping with another fluffy, but she keeps you warm.
>Suddenly, you smell something not-pretty. Something really bad!
>Can't sleep through that. Look up and see Red pooping all over your box!!
>"NOO!" you cry. "No poopies in box! No!! No smew pwetty! Red poopies no smew pwetty!"
>Red starts crying. "Sowwy. No wittabox. Needed to poopy!"
>You have no idea what a wittabox is.
>"Poopies ou'side!" you moan. "No poopies in box!"
>Red stares at you miserably and tries to cuddle with you again. Push her away.
>She cries more and you try to sleep.
>Can't sleep with poopies so close.
>RED HAS RUINED YOUR BIG WOOD BOX!  RED IS BIG DUMB FWUFFY!
>Get up and make brave dash across alleyway.  Hide under discarded door mat.
>It's prickly and hurts. It doesn't keep you as warm as box.
>At least it doesn't smell like Red's poopies.
>Wake up AGAIN, when Red starts crying out loudly.
>"Hewp!" she sobs from the box. "Hewp! Red awone! Where fwend go? Red wan' fwend back! Hewp!"
>Dumb fluffy! She's going to attract monsters!
>Feel compelled to run over and hug her.  She's so sad and stupid. Maybe more hugs will fix her.
>She cries into your fluff. An hour of tired hugs don't make her any smarter or happier.
>Friends aren't all they're chalked up to be...
 
 
>Been some days since you met your new friend.
>She's getting fat!
>How is she getting so fat when you're not?
>You eat all the same food. she's never out of your sight!
>Whatever.
>"Pway tag?" Red asks.
>"Yay tag!" you cheer. "Yuu it!"  Haha, this is fun!  She's actually chasing you around!
>Red doesn't cry as often. She makes poopies away from sleep places and food.
>Suddenly, hear something coming!!
>It's a human! It's smiling!
>"New fwend!" Red runs up to her.
>You quickly trot behind. "Hewwo! Candies?"
>The human smiles and pulls out a candy! Yay!
>She gives it to Red.
>Oh no... you always got candies for yourself. Now you have to split those with Red too?
>"Wan' candies!" you mewl. You know not to beg because it angers humans, but you can't help yourself.
>Human tosses you a candy. You gobel it up.
>Chocolate!!  You love chocolate!!  You bet the mythical spaghetti tastes like chocolate!
>Human toses you both some more candies. Red keeps begging for more... and ends up getting more.
>Human walks away. Red follows behind sadly.
>"No weave! New fwend, come back! Red wan' more candy! Pwese, fwend! Come back!"
>She starts crying when she realizes she can't keep up.
>"Daddy give Red candies... Fwuffy miss daddy..."
>You sigh. You thought she was past this.
>She won't play tag for the rest of the day. Is sobbing again.
>You find an apple core, and she eats a lot faster than you!
>Ugh, your friend is so annoying sometimes!!
 
>Been even more days since you met your friend.
>She's getting even fatter!!
>How?!
>You're struggling to keep your tummy happy, and Red's always whining for food!
>You both sleep in a tipped green recycling can. It's really deep!
>Even found a blanky to drag inside of it. That took all day!
>Keeps you warm and dry and happy and safe, just like old box.
>Wake up and see sky-wa-was. Ground is all wet.
>You're happy because you can drink lots of water. You're sad because you need to stay inside the bin.
>Red shivers in the back of the bin.
>"Red get big..." she moans.  "Tummy few funny..."
>"Red get fat!" you laugh. "Red eat too many nummies!"
>Red is silent for a while.  Suddenly she smiles. "Babehs?"
>Huh? Babies? What's she talking about?
>"Fwuffy haf babehs in tummy!" she coos. "Fwend, Red gonna be mummah!"
>Huh?
>"Fwuffy wuv babehs!" she coos.
>Whu?
 
>More days later.  Still raining.
>Red can't walk anymore. Her legs don't touch the ground!
>You didn't know fluffy ponies could get so fat!
>Is she really filled with babies?
>"Fwend..." she whimpers at you. "Red weggies no work. Need foodies..."
>Oh great. Now you have to bring food back to her?!
>"Fwuffy..." you sigh. "Fwuffy fin' foodies for fwend..."
>Head out. Everything is wet! Air is wet. You're getting wet.
>You hate being wet.
>You like puddles though!
>Haha! Love splashing around in puddles! Fun fun fun.
>Not finding any foodies, though.
>Gone for long time. Hope you don't get lost.
>Oh no! See the big human boxes! The loud, fast ones with bright lights!
>Har far are you from home?
>Have to turn back!
>"Look, a fluffy pony!"
>A human spots you! There's two of them! Human mares.
>They run up and smile at you! They like you! Yay!
>"New fwends?" you ask.
>"It's so cute!"
>You still worry about begging... but you're desperate.
>"Hungwy.. need foodies for fwuffy and mummah fwend."
>"Momma friend?" one of the girls says. "Aww! Can you show us where she is?"
>Uh oh. Trap? Are they gonna steal your home? What choice do you have? They might hurt you if you try to run!
>"Uh..." you mumble. "Dis way..."
>Lead the girls back to your bin.
>Go inside. Red's still there. Still fat. Her tummy's growling.
>"Fin' foodies?"
>You shake your head. "No.. fin' hoomans."
>You suddenly feel worried. Did the humans promise food, or did you imagine that?
>The girls are looking inside the bin.
>"Oh wow! They're so adorable!"
>"We can't just leave them here!"
>OH NO. You were right! They're taking you from your home!
>"Come out, fluffies!" they call.
>Red is interested, but can't move on her own.
>"No!" you cry. "Go away, hoomans! Dis fwuffy home! Go away!"
>"No!" Red cries. "Need foodies! Hooman, pwese! Foodies! Mummah hungwy! Babehs need foodies too!"
>"Come out! We won't hurt you! We want to help!"
>Don't trust them. This was bad idea! Help!
>Suddenly, smell food.  Human mare is holding out crackers!
>Your tummy growls hungrily, and Red is sobbing for food.
>Can't resist anymore.
>You get behind Red and roll her to the edge of the bin.
>The human mares feed each of you. Yuumy crackers! Hooray for humans!
>"We can't just leave them here... You did say you wanted a dog..."
>"Yeah, but this one's pregnant."
>"Oh, they're not hard. It's just like having guinea pigs."
>"... Oh okay.  I love you."
>"I love you too."
>The human mares kiss. Weird.
>Suddenly they pick you up! You panic, but soon you're in a much better, drier place.
 
>Been some days since you met your new mommies.
>You and Red live in a big warm house!
>You don't have to look for food and water anymore.
>Your room is really big and full of fun things and clean blankies.
>Nothing ever smells not-pretty. Never get sky-wa-wa inside.
>Still weird though. Weird not having to hunt for food.
>Mommies call you "Peanut." Why? Weird having name like Red does.
>Red says babies will be coming soon.
>Mommies like playing games all the time! Catch. Tag. Hide-and-Seek!
>Mommies like to hug you!
>But still... doesn't feel like home...
>"Spaghetti night!" one of your mommies smiles.
>Spaghetti?! Really?! Could it be?!
>She gives you a big plate of hot, buttery spaghetti.
>You take one bite, and begin crying with joy.
>You're home.
