>You are Fluttershy.
>Anon is a Human child that lives in Ponyville.
>When he had first come to Equestria, you had taken an immediate interest in him.
>So badly, you had wanted Anon to stay with you since he had no home.
>But it was decided that he would live with Twilight Sparkle.
>Because she gets everything she wants.
>That was okay though.
>You could visit him anytime you wanted.
>And you did.
>Every day.
>It hit you one night that you had fallen in love with Anon.
>He was so funny and cute and exotic.
>This of course was before you learned that Anon
>Was only nine years old.
>A child.
>Less than half your age.
>Even though he was about your size and mature for his age, he was still just a child.
>A year younger than Spike.
>This was a devastating blow to your small amount of confidence.
>For weeks you had fallen for Anon.
>Become obsessed with him.
>And all of that was for nothing.
>He was just a little boy...
 
 
>It had been a few days since you last saw Anon.
>You had spoken to the therapist pony to try making sense of these new feelings.
>She offered many solutions and insights.
>Some helped, some went unheard.
>Though one thing did come to mind.
>And that's how you ended up in the park.
 
>You sit on a bench, looking this way and that.
>There are a lot of ponies at the park enjoying their day.
>Some with families, some with friends.
>You look at the playground and see a young colt tempting a squirrel with a peanut.
>The squirrel hops over and snatches the nut, then runs away.
>The colt looks happy and looks around for more animals.
>Perfect.
>You fly over and inch toward the young one.
"Um, e-e-excuse me."
>The colt looks at you, "hi?"
>You nudge a hoof in the squirrel's direction.
"I have plenty of f-f-furry critters around my house that you can play with... If that's alright with you?"
>He looks excited.
>A big confidence booster.
>"I can do that?!"
>You nod.
"If it's o-okay with your parents."
 
>The little colt followed you back to your cottage.
>His parents were happy that the Element of Kindness was watching their child.
>Your guts twist.
>The colt runs around playing with a group of ferrets while you watch from your porch.
>You rest your head on the railing and sigh.
>It's easy to forget about Anon with this little one rolling around your yard.
>Your therapist was pretty good.
 
-"It could be that you have a repressed motherly instinct that has grown more since spending time with Anon."
 
>She was so nice to never hint that your predicament was vulgar.
>Now you can see Anon's face.
>He lost a tooth and his smile was so precious.
>You shake your head.
>He's better off with Twilight.
>Pretty, perfect Twilight.
>The colt runs over to you.
>"Mrs. Fluttershy! There's a bear over there with a rabbit on his head!"
>You smile.
>"They're good friends... Um, do you h-have many friends?"
>Your guts knot.
>He nods quickly, "I have LOTS of friends!"
>You rub your hooves together and swallow a lump in your throat.
"If, I-I-I-If they want to p-play with the critters, um... You can bring them o-o-over."
 
 
>The next day, the colt brings four of his friends over to your cottage.
>They all run around your house, playing with your animals.
>You watch them from the couch.
>For lunch, you make them sandwiches.
>At noon, they take a nap on the floor.
>You cover them with blankets.
>Watch them sleep peacefully.
>Your guts writhe.
>A gentle hoof caresses a cheek.
>Moves across the neck.
>Down the side to an unmarked flank.
>You bite your lip
>And fly to your room.
>Ice cold water and soap flows over your hooves as you cry and shiver.
 
 
>More days pass.
>It has been a long time since you have seen Anon.
>And it's okay.
>Every day, a group of colts come to your house to play with all of your critter friends.
>The young colt who first visited you is your favorite.
>He's always full of energy, nice to everyone and extremely cute.
>You have even given him a nickname that he likes.
>Yesterday he asked if he could have a sleepover with all the animals.
>That made your guts do flips.
>Today, as you watch a pile of colts wrestle, he runs over to you.
>"Mrs. Fluttershy! Guess what?! My mom said I could stay here and sleep over with the animals tonight!"
>The joy on his face makes you want to squeeze him against you.
>You grin and rub behind his ear.
"That's wonderful, Anon."
>He runs back to his friends.
>You watch his short tail swish.
>Tears cloud your vision.
>It was so nice of your therapist to hint that your thoughts were vulgar.
>You fly inside to fill the tub with ice cold water for a long bath.
