I pace in a circle in the kitchen as Fluttershy drinks water with a small rabbit she brought home. I toss theories around and eliminate any unusual possibilities.
I pull out my iPhone and type, "My Little Pony Wiki" on the browser. I clicked on characters and read their description. My answer was there.
I come to the conclusion that Fluttershy is here because of a magical accident caused by Twilight Sparkle. The accident must have ripped a hole between time and space, sending her here.
"Um..." I turn toward Fluttershy and she shyly taps my leg. "Um... C...c...ca..."
"Do you want a carrot?"
She nods and I give her two carrots. She gives one to the rabbit and eats one herself.
I open youtube and type in, "My Little Pony Episode 1." I plug in earbuds and watch the first episode. Then the second. Then season 2. Season 3. Season 4. I give a yawn as I watch the season 4 finale and look at the clock. Four a.m. Fluttershy is fast asleep on the couch with the rabbit under her hair.
"If you're here," I whisper, "Then where are your friends?"
