>You are Marcus, and it's been a few days since your third Alicorn litter was delivered >The foals have already opened their eyes end begun to speak >Granted, their speech is limited to words like "Mummeh," or "Miwk," but they're still talking >A normal fluffy would take about a week to start speaking "Alright, let's see...a week to go till you should be weaned...then we'll separate everyone, blah blah blah." >You love running a petshop, but you hate all the logistics >You especially hate doing all the grunt work >It's nice to have more help with Anon around, but it's still down to you two and the few other part-time employees "Hey, Sunsplash, you wanna play with the babies?" >The Alicorn foals are kept separate from their mothers >If left alone, the fluffies would refuse to feed them, or even kill them >They need some sort of attention from another Alicorn "Sunspwas wuv babbehs! Wan pway wif dem!" "Alright, just be gentle. They're still babies." "Wiww be cawefuw! Wuv babbehs!" >You don't need to worry about her actually harming any of them >After all, Alicorns are much smarter than normal fluffies >You watch her playing with the foals, pushing their ball around with them for a bit >You need a distraction every once in a while "Okay...just about three and a half weeks till the little guys can breed...Hey Anon?" "Yeah, Marcus?" "You got the Alicorn room all set?" "Yep. Just finished maybe 20 minutes ago." >You had Anon set up a special room for Alicorns to breed and live in >The other fluffies would try to kill the foals >You can't have that >Fast forward three and a half weeks, and it's time to breed the Alicorns "Alright, Anon...you wanna let Starsplash have a go at one?" "Why not? Wouldn't wanna risk tiring the stallion out." "Alright, little guys, it's time for you guys to give special hugs." >One of the Alicorns, the pink female you've named Lily, steps forward "Wah speshuw huggies?" "Well...it's what lets you guys have babies. You want babies right?" >Despite being much more intelligent than the average fluffy, the meternal instinct is still there "Wuv babbehs! Wiwy wan speshuw huggies!" "Alright, but we've got some rules about special hugs okay?" >A chorus of "Otay!" results "First, you've gotta be nice to whatever girl you give special hugs to, okay Lightning?" "Awight, be extwa nice!" "And girls, you've gotta hold still when a boy fluffy gives you special hugs." "Otay! We be good fwuffies!" "If you're good for special hugs, you can have a cookie." >This makes them go fucking crazy >You decide to get started "Lightning, go ahead and get in the cage with Lily. I'll help in a minute." >You open the cage door and the two Alicorns waddle in "Anon, you wanna put Starsplash in with Mint?" "Sure thing." >He picks up Starsplash and places him in the next cage over "Alright, Starsplash, be really gentle with Mint, okay?" "Otay, daddeh. Be vewy gentwe fwuffy!" >You show Lightning and Lily how things work while Anon gets Starsplash situated >After a few minutes, it seems like everyone understands "ENF! ENF! ENF! ENF! ENF! ENF! ENF!" >After a few seconds, it seems like everyone's done >You give all the fluffies cookies >They're going to make you a wealthy man
