This choice: Theydecide to go to Fluttershy's house • Go Back...Chapter #5Theydecide to go to Fluttershy's house by: Unknown This situation was... different, but nothing twilight's analytical mind couldn't handle. Whatever had happened, must have started in the last two hours, as she had certainly still been a pony when she had been brushing her quills this morning. Mane. Brushing her mane. Apparently whatever this was effects one's judgment as well as appearance...
"Alright, I've somehow become a pony-sized animal resembling a hedgehog... except I'm still purple. If any pony knows what I've turned into, it'll be Fluttershy." Twilight stated, feeling certain they would have this solved in no time. However, her attention was drawn to Spike as he started coughing.
"You on the other hand should probably pay a visit to the clinic." She commented, concerned for her faithful assistant. He was usually immune to almost everything, being a dragon and all, So any cold should be taken seriously. Quietly nodding, he went uostairs to get his boots and scarf, as twilight headed over to her closet to get her own.
Puting winter clothing on with paw-like hands instead of magic was surprisingly easy, getting said clothes to fit correctly on a body that was a different shape however, was not. by the time she had managed to get dressed, get out the door, and tromp through the snow to Fluttershy's, it was past noon, and spike was long gone. It was convenient that it was the middle of winter, any other time of year, and Fluttershy's cottage would be full of animals. But, as it was, the only ones who hadn't either migrated, or gone into hibernation were her chickens, and Angel.
Knocking on the door, all twilight got in response was a muffled 'meep!' and barely audible call of 'be right there!'. It was a good three or four minutes before the door opened, and then only enough for her to peek out and squeak a shy "hello?"
"Hi fluttershy, I kind of need your help..." was all Twilight got out before before, the door swung wide open, and Fluttershy lit up with a grin so wide Twilight could swear she heard a strange squeak sound when she made it.
"Oh my, I've never met a hedgehog so big before! and you talk, that's just amazing." It was like introducing her to spike all over again... "Please come in!"
Before she even knew what was going on, she was sitting on Fluttershy's couch drinking tea and listening to how she was the first animal to come visit since winter started. Also, she seemed to have picked up the strangest little cough in the time it had taken to prepare the tea.
"Um, Fluttershy... I'm not a wild animal, it's me. Twilight. I was hoping you could help me find out what's going on." Twilight explained, slowly. Watching as the pegasus' expression fell slightly.
"oh... well, i'm not sure what help i would bei was just excited at meeting a newkind of animal that i thought..." She trailed off, the rest of whatever she intended to say being reduced to meeps and squeaks. But that wasn't what held her attention, No, her attention was focused more on the fact that, while remaining on all fours unlike Twilight, Fluttershy had began to glow. By the time she had Stopped squeaking, not only had the glow disapeared, but so had the cough, and fluttershy with it. In her place was an alarmingly large yellow and orange wolf. The only familiar feature, her soft blue eyes.
"Fluttershy?" Twilight asked cautiously.
"Yes?" the wolf answered.
"I just realized, whatever this is, it's contagious... And i may have infected spike before i left the library."
"oh my..." indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
