>Fluffy pony lay on her side, begging Owner not to hurt her any more
>Owner brought his foot down
>Everything went dark
>Some time later, fluffy pony woke up
>Something was nudging her side
>She noticed it didn't hurt any more
>Another, light blue, fluffy pony was nuzzling her with her snout
>“New frien'?” asked the other pony
>Fluffy pony stood up, and looked around
>She was in the middle of a vast meadow, the sun high in the sky above her
>All around her she could see groups of fluffy ponies playing, or hugging, or sleeping
>One fluffy pony was lying on his back, wiggling his limbs and exclaiming “Leggies back” again and again
>In one direction, the meadow turned into a thicker forest
>Fluffy ponies ran happily through the trees, playing tag, and hide and seek
>On the other side of the meadow was a crystal clear stream, fluffy ponies swimming and splashing each other in it
>Fluffy pony had never been allowed to go swimming
>Pegasus fluffy ponies looped through the sky above, amid cheers of “Fwy!” and “Go fast!”
>The blue pony was still trying to get her attention
>“I Bluebell? Who you?”
>Owner had never given her a name, yet one word formed in her mind
>She knew that this was her true name, even if none of the humans had ever called her by it
>“Twinkle,” she said
>“Twinkle frien',” said Bluebell, hugging her
>Twinkle hugged her back just as strongly
>“Wan' food? Barn have sagetti.” Bluebell said, extending one leg in the direction of a large, flat building on the horizon
>Spaghetti was Twinkle's favourite food, even though Owner hadn't cooked it for her in a long time
>She cantered excitedly towards the barn, and was thrilled to hear Bluebell follow behind her
