Chapter 1: Meet Mr. Cain
A lone figure was floating down a path of lights and sound, the figure watched the dimensions as they floated by, he wondered which one he would stop at next. He felt himself start to slow down as he brought his attention to the front, the lights started to swirl and form one source of light a few meters ahead. The new destination has been deside, he felt his body move as the vortex of light sucked him in.
"I wonder what this world has in store for me," he said as the light surrounded him and then suddenly everything turned black.
FlutterShy was walking down a path in the EverFree forrest looking for any creatures that might of needed her help. She hasnt seen any animals today and she is beginning to worry.
"Oh, where are you, you sweet little animals," she said as she walked down the path. Suddenly she heard a noise, she looked up and saw a woodpecker is a tree not far away.
"Hello there Mr. Woodpecker, how are you today?" The woodpecker looked at her then flew into the air. It circled around FlutterShy for a few seconds then flew off towards the edge of the woods, it turned around, looked at her, then started to chirp.
"Oh, I understand, you want me to follow you," FlutterShy said as she started to follow the bird.
The woodpecker flew through the forrest at a moderate speed but FlutterShy noticed that it was gaining speed as it flew along.
"Um, excuse me Mr. Woodpecker but could you slow down just a tad, im finding it hard to keep up with you," but then the woodpecker stopped and landed on a tree. FlutterShy stopped under the tree and looked up at the bird.
"What is it that you wanted me to see," FlutterShy asked. But the woodpecker did not respond it just stood on the tree not making a sound.
"Mr. Woopeck..," but before she could finish there was a large flash of light. FlutterShy covered her eyes from the blinding light and backed behind the tree. Not knowing what was going on and too scared to find out.
The light soon went away and FlutterShy peeked out from behind the tree, she didnt see anything at first but then she saw something lying on the ground. She watched it for a moment expecting it to do something but it didnt move. She slowly left her cover from behind the tree and made her way to the creature.
"Um, h-hello," she wispered as she came to the creature, "are you ok?"
The creature didnt move so FlutterShy moved closer, she looked over the creature and she did not find anywhere on its body that look injured. As she looked at it she relized that she has never seen any creature like this before. She lowered her head and looked at its face, it seemed to hair some fur but not a lot, she stared at the creature some more are noticed some features that she reconized and some that she didnt.
She heared a noise behind her and she turned around to see the woodpecker flying away, when she looked back to the creature she noticed its eyes were open. She frozed not knowing what to do, she slowly backed away and the creature sat up. It look strait at her and then said "Hello FlutterShy," and the only thing FlutterShy could do was scream, she turned around and started to run but the next thing she knew everything went black.

Twilight was walkingdown a road headed to FlutterShy's house when AppleJack ran up beside her.
"Howdy sugarcube, you headed to FlutterShys too?"
"Yes I am, she asked if I could help her find some new animals today in the EverFree forrest," Twilight said as they walked together down the road.
"Well I'll be, she asked me to do the same thing," AppleJack said as they turned on the road FlutterShy's house was on.
"She also asked Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkir Pie too," Twilight said.
"Really," AppleJack asked,"what makes you say that?"
Twilight pointed ahead of them and AppleJack looked and saw Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie all waiting outside of FlutterShy's house.
"She must need lots of help if she asked all of us," AppleJack said.
"Hhhellloo girls," Pinkie Pie said as they stopped outside of FlutterShy's house,"are you excited, im excited, I wonder what kind of animal she wants us to find,"
While Pinkie was talking Twilight walked up to Rarity and Rainbow Dash and asked,"Do any of you know what it is she wants us to help her find?"
"She said she was having trouble finding animals period," Rainbow Dash said,"all of them seemed to dissapear and she was getting worried."
"Now that you mention it darling, my cat Opalescence has been acting very strange latley," Rarity said.
"So has mah dog Winona, she been acting mighty stange." AppleJack said as she and Pinkie Pie joined the conversation.
"Owlowiscious has also been acting different," Twilight said.
"Gummy has been acting up, but he always acts up, hahaha, you know I think something really really bad is about to happen because this morning I had one big twitch," Pinkie pie said,"and this one was new, I have never had this twitch before it was like ten no thirty twitchs. It was like a super mega combo."
This made them a little worried, they have all experienced Pinkie's twitches before.
"Do you have any idea what it ment," Twilight asked?
"Nope," Pinkie answered,"but I do think I have the time right, it should happen in about 3...2...1." right then they heard a loud scream.
They all looked towards the EverFree forrest,"That sounded like FlutterShy," Rainbow Dash said.
"She is in danger we need to go help her," AppleJack said as the all ran towards the forrest.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew past them, the gust caused a tree limb to break and fly towards Rarity. As ducked out of the way and looked back to see where the limb went she saw something that stopped her in her tracks.
"Girls look," She said as she ran back towards FlutterShy's House.
They all turned around and what they saw shocked them.
"FlutterShy," Twilight said as they all ran back to her house.
As they reached her they saw that she was unconscious, Rarity got behind her and lifted her head up and said,"O darling what has happened too you."
"Rainbow Dash AppleJack, we need to get her inside," twilifht said then Rainbow Dash and AppleJack picked FlutterShy up and carried her inside."Pinkie I need you to bring me a bowl of warm water and a rag.
"Okie doki loki," Pinkie Pie said as she rushed inside to get what was needed."
"and Rarity I need you to go get the doctor her right away,"
"I will go as fast as I can,"Rarity said as she ran to get the doctor.
As Twilight started to enter the house she saw a strange creature in the corner of her eye, when she turned around to see what it was there was nothing there."What in Equstria is going on here?" she asked as she enter the house.
FlutterShy slowly opened her eyes and looked around.
"She is awake everypony," somepony said.
FlutterShy tried to get up but she felt somepony holding her down, she looked up and saw it was Twilight, she also saw the rest of her friends all gathered in her house.
"What is everypony doing here," FlutterShy asked?
"Were are here to take care of you silly," Pinkie Pie said.
"Take care of me? What happened to me?" FlutterShy asked hoping to find out whats going on.
"Why we were hoping you could tell us," Rarity said as she sat next to FlutterShy,"the doctor said you had a nasty bump on your head but you should be fine with some rest."
"And we were all wonderin how you got yerself hurt," AppleJack said as she sat on the otherside of FlutterShy.
It was then when FlutterShy remembered what had happened,"I was looking for animals in the forrest when all of a sudden I saw this woodpecker. The woodpecker wanted me to follow it so I did and it led me to this one spot in the forrest. Then there was the bright flash of light and I was so scared i hid behind a tree. When I looked out from the tree I saw the strangest looking creature lying there. I thought it might of been hurt so I walked up to it to check on it but it wouldnt move. Then the woodpecker flew away and when I turned around I saw that its eyes were open and it sat up. So I started to back away but it kept looking at me then it said 'Hello FlutterShy,' so i screamed and turned around then everything went black and then I woke up here." FlutterShy said without taking a single breath, she was breathing heavly trying catch her breath while the others were just staring at her,"sorry, did I go to fast?"
"No ya didnt go to fast, now tell us where we can find this creature," AppleJack said as she stood up.
"Ya, we will find it and kick its flank," Rainbow Dash said as she jumped into the air and started to hove in place.
"I dont know girls, the creature is very mysterious, I mean we dont even know how he made me black out," FlutterShy said.
"I didnt do anything you hit your head on a tree," a voice said.
"Oh, then in that case..." but she stopped talking and everyone turned around and sitting in a chair was the strange creature ahe saw.
"Who the hay are you," Applejack said as she jumped inbetween the creature and FlutterShy.
"Thats the creature I saw in the wood," FlutterShy said as she cowared down on her bed.
"Dont worry we will take care of this," Rainbow Dash said as she and AppleJack charged at the creature but as soon as they reached the creature they felt something stopping them form moving.
"What the hay," AppleJack said as she tried to move foward.
She looked up and saw that the creature had caught both her and Rainbow Dash by their heads and was holding them off.
"Why did you attack FlutterShy," Rarity asked?
"Like I said I didnt," the creature said as he pushed AppleJack and Rainbow Dash back."You hit your head on a tree when you turned and ran, I never touched you."
"Like we will believe that," Twilight said as she readied herself to use magic.
"Wait Twilight I think he is telling the truth," Pinkie Pie said.
"What makes you say that," Twilight asked her.
"Because I am not getting a twitch that says we are in danger," Pinkie walked us to the creature and said,"Hi im Pinkie Pie, whats your name?"
"My name is Mr. Cain and I know who you are Pinkie, in fact I know who all of you are," He said as he looked at the rest of the group,"Twilight, Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Rarity, and FlutterShy."
"How did you know our names?" Twilight asked.
"Where I come from a there are a lot of people who know your names and they know about your adventures too," he said.
"How is that possible," Twilight asked?
"Because I come from a different universe one that has the ablility to watch you," he said as he sat back down.
"Do you honestly think we are going to believe that," AppleJack asked?
"Believe what you want to believe," he said.
"But how did you get here and why are you here," Rarity asked?
"A portal from a universe took me here and as for why, I dont know the reason all I know is I am here to help."
"Here to help? help what? Help me throw a party? or bake? what are you going to help with?" Pinkie Pie said jumping up and down.
"I dont know what im here to help with all I know is im here to help," he said.
"Im having a hard time understanding what all is going on," Twilight said.
"All I know is I dont trust you," Rainbow Dash said as she flew up into his face and stared him down.
"Thats fine I will gain your trust in what ever way nessary," he said keeping the stare."I will also answer any questions you might have because I know you have some."
"I am going to write a note to Princess Celistia about this and she what she has to say, so come with me and we will see what happens," Twilight said as she walked to the door.
"Ok," he said,"but first," he walked over to FlutterShy and stuck his hand out. FlutterShy closed her eyes and coward back but relaxed when his hand touched her hand. She felt better and her head was back to normal, as if she never hurt it in the first place.
She opened her eyes and looked at him, he smiled and said,"Im only here to help," and with that he turned and followed Twilight out of the house along with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
Rarity and AppleJack walked over to FLutterShy and Rarity said,"You alright dear?"
"Im fine, actually I have never felt better," she said as she watched Twilight lead him away.
