>You stare in silence at the pony >It stares at you >It's kinda cute >you walk towards the creature >A look of concern crosses its face >You reach out a hand >Its antennae fold back and it scrunches its face "There there." You say softly as you boldly but gently brush a hand on its face >"Squueeeeeeeeeeaaa!" >The pony lets out a long high pitched squeak while backing into a corner of your kitchen >You seemed to have scared it >That noise gave you the shivers though >You again, walk closer the creature >You reach out a hand again and brush its head >It quivers, it's wings vibrating as if about to flee >The large deep black eyes stare up at you as you let the soft pony >It's incredibly soft >It actually feels more silky than soft "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you." You say calmly >As if it understood you, its wings stopped vibrating and it stopped shivering completely >The pony moved its antennae and started rubbing your arm and hand with them >It tickled a bit >You laugh >It giggled as well! >If this isn't a dream, it's probably the most fascinating thing to ever happen >How is this even possible? >It's so strange and impossible >Yet so adorable "Do you have a home?" >The moth pony's antennae droop and it looks down at the ground "I'll take that as a no... But, how did you get here?" >It stares blankly "Nevermind." >"I... I..." >Your eyes go wide as you watch the pony start to speak >"If you... Want me to talk... I... Will." It says in a whispered, shy female voice. "Oh my goodness you can talk!" >She hides behind a wing   "Hey, it's alright, do you have a name?" >"Cydia..." >Her head twitches a bit and she rubs her antennae with a hoof >She folds her wing back and stares up at you >The room falls silent again "Do you... need somewhere to stay? Cydia?" >"Yes... but I have no idea what keeps happening." "What do you mean?" >"I change." "Change into what?" >"Well, I don't remember anything before last week, but every night I turn into a moth!" "But, you are a moth, you're a... uh... a moth, pony?" >"I don't know anymore..." >Tears start to fill her eyes "Hey! hey! Don't cry... you're fine." >"No I'm not! I just want to be normal again, I want to go back!" >Her tongue rolls out of her mouth >"Oh... I'm sorry." She says blushing, as she retracts her tongue >"I am still getting used to this." "Wait, what were you before?" >"A pony." "I see... Well don't worry okay? You seem like you're somewhat intelligent, I'm sure you'll make it in this world." >She glares at you "I didn't mean it like that." >She grunts "So... you turn into a moth at night?" >"Y-yes." "Well... I can see some advantages to that." >"Like what?" "You can fly in places you would never be able to go as a pony." >"But what if I get eaten? What if I get squished? What if I drown? What if I burn in a light?" "Calm down Cydia I-" >"Please take care of me!" She squeaks as she puts two hooves on you "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." >"Oh thank you... Uh, what's your name sir?" "Anon." >"That's a nice name." "Yours too." >She smiles and walks back over to the curtain on the floor >She takes a tuft of it in her mouth and begins to chew on it again "Wuh! Wait! That's my... Curtain... Screw it, you've wrecked it already, keep it." >"Oh, Anon I'm so sorry, it really is delicious though. do you want it back?" >You notice a huge segment missing from it "Please just keep it."   >Cydia happily munches away at the curtain >You decide to just not question all of this >There is no actual way to explain it >You feel overcome with joy, but confused at the same time >How do- no... just stop >What has happened to you just now is probably something no one else will ever experience "What do you eat besides... well... that?" >"I'll eat anything with fabric, Anon." >You think about it >Maybe you could get her a ball of yarn at that craft place downtown >Or a few >She leaves the curtain and starts to climb up the wall and to your lamp >"Oh, Thank goodness you have those little pieces of sun in here." "What?" >"The pieces of sun, you keep them inside too! It's great!" "Uh... yeah... I like my lamp too." >She crawls underneath the lamp and clings to the floor >"Thank you again Anon." "No problem." >You needed someone or something to take care of in your life >This strange creature will be perfect >"I like you Anon, you're great." Cydia says with a smile "Well... thank you."
