AN: HUMAN PONIES. In case anyone forgot.

Butterscotch worked at the Manehattan Zoo, with his apprentice, a teenage boy named Leo. Butterscotch was a nice fellow. Quiet, considerate, caring, kind, and lived a happy live in Manehattan. He and Leo were feeding the monkeys when their boss walked in; they turned and stopped, wondering what their boss wanted. He was a fat old man named… actually, nobody knew his real name. He was just called Mr. Zoo by everyone.

"Butterscotch, I need you in my office, come for lunch, we'll have some cake and ice cream! My treat!" Mr. Zoo raised his fists to the sky, a sign that everything's fine, which meant Butterscotch wasn't in any trouble like he feared.

"Of course . Oh, and our lunch break starts now actually. Leo, I'm so sorry for the trouble but, can you please feed the lions, there are your specialty."

"Got it! Later Scotch!"

Leo ran over to his favorite animals. Butterscotch laughed a little, and walked with Mr. Zoo to the office. After the cake and ice cream, Mr. Zoo told him.

"Butterscotch, I got some news from the mayor of Ponyville. They had a little animal baby boom, and there's only one person that specializes in animals over there. The poor gal needs help. Butterscotch, I need you to go over there for a couple of weeks and help out. You understand, right boy?"

"O-of course Mr. Zoo, I 'll go, you can count on me. "

" Excellent! Get over there as soon as you can boy! " Mr. Zoo rubbed his stomach and laughed. Saying good-by to Mr. Zoo, Butterscotch walked out the office to inform Leo.

" A couple of weeks?!"

" Yes, I'm sorry."

" No reason to be. "

" I guess your right."

" Besides, you taught me everything I know, I'll be fine."

" Well, okay. Would you like to come over after work to help me pack? I promised Mr. Zoo I'll go as soon as possible. "

" Sure, I don't mind."

After work, the two went to Butterscotch's house and prepared him for his trip. The next day, he left on the 9:30 AM train to Ponyville. Gosh, I wonder what its like in Ponyville. What types of wonderful creatures do they have? How big was the baby-boom? I'm excited! Well, it won't be very long until I get there. Maybe I should…

Butterscotch drifted off to sleep.
