"Okay, this really isn't what it looks like. I found her on the path to your
house and I brought her here to get help," It spoke softly, but quickly, in a
deep voice "I know I look very scary but I promise I'm not a bad guy."
Fluttershy barely noticed it was speaking. It had knocked out Twilight and
now it had come for her and her animals! She knew she had to defend
them, but it was so scary. She glanced up at it and it stared down at her, its
tiny eyes more intense than those any other creature she'd ever seen. Her

"Sorry about scaring you, but I honestly don't mean any harm. I made some
tea for you; I didn't know what you like, so I had to guess. I hope the
cinnamon spice one is okay." It set the tray down to one side of the bed
and sat down across it from her. Now that it wasn't towering over her,
Fluttershy thought, it wasn't really that scary. "I mean, you already had
