At last, Penelope's yoga lesson. Richard was just napping on Penelope's couch. If he would just sleep and be lazy on his own couch at home, then he can do the same on Penelope's own couch. Darwin and Anais were sitting in the backyard, looking at the lovely garden their aunt has. So many flowers, plants, even a few fountains with birds coming to drink water from.

"Do you think this will go well, Anais?" Asked Darwin as he was looking at some of the beautiful flowers.

Letting out a sigh, the girl replied: "I honestly don't know, Darwin. We've tried many things to try and calm mom down with other things. None of them worked. But Penelope is mom's sister, and she's known her longer than we have."

"Yeah." Darwin felt a bird land on his right hand since Darwin is a special kind of creature that has a gift for pretty much every talent.

It was a blue jay and it looked at him with its beady eyes before tilting his head to the left. "If this doesn't work, what will?" Anais asked him

"We can put in a mind control helmet on her to make her less angry."

"No, that's impossible, Darwin. Completely science fiction."

"and yet Gumball is in another dimension with a bunch of magical, colorful ponies right now?" Darwin raised his right eyebrow at her

"... touché. Good point." Anais admitted.

"And shouldn't you know, Anais? You're the smart one of the family. You're the one who will bring home a college degree."

"Again, good point. But I honestly don't know what to do with mom. I just want to see Gumball again."

"You and me both, sis. I just hope he's doing ok in that weird world.


meanwhile, back in Equestria

Fluttershy was sitting on her bed with the hurt cockatrice, who was still whimpering in pain from the broken wing.

"Ssshhh, hold still." Fluttershy politely said to it. "Just relax and let me patch this up for you, sweetie."

Gumball and Pip were helping her put some rubbing alcohol on the scrape marks on the back of its hurt wing. Squawking in pain, the cockatrice began to twitch from the drops of the rubbing alcohol on the scrapes

"I know it hurts, I know it hurts." Said Fluttershy. "But it will help heal your wing faster. Just please trust me."

Silent and looking to one side, the monster decided to just go along with it and felt more drops of rubbing alcohol on his wound, and grunted some more from how painful this was. After two long minutes, she put the cast around the wounded wing, and the bird-dragon hybrid was slowly feeling the pain ease in it's clipped wing.

The cockatrice can hardly believe what had happened to him. He was being tended to with such kindness by the same pony that reprimanded and told him off about freezing her friends with his power to turn creatures into stone. He remembered how scary Fluttershy was when she was mad at him with her signature "Stare" to keep her animal friends more... under control. Yet there he was, being carefully and kindly tended to for a broken wing after all that had happened

He began making some sounds that sounded like a combination of clucks and demonic sounds to her that supposedly translated to her: "why did you help me" according to Fluttershy's ears

"Goodness, how can I ignore any creature that has gotten seriously hurt or injured?" Said the yellow Pegasus in reply. "I am the element of kindness after all, and I should always be there for a poor creature in need." Squawking some more, Fluttershy then replied: "you are very welcome. I am very glad to help you out. But please don't go around turning other creatures to stone for your own pleasure. It's not nice."

The creature nodded his head a few times telling her that he won't do that anymore. Fluttershy smiled as the cockatrice bid her farewell and walked out of her cottage while the other critters watched on.

"that was amazing but... Should we worry about him if he ever comes back?" Asked Gumball. "In my world they are very dangerous

"Don't worry, Gumball." Fluttershy chuckled. "Like I have mentioned, Cockatrices are very misunderstood and not evil. They are just like any other creature."

"I'll take your word for it." Said Pip. "It's amazing how you can talk to and take care of any kind of creature, Fluttershy. You can even try to talk to the most dangerous creatures."

The yellow Pegasus smiled and flushed a little. "Well, I don't know if I can help the most dangerous creatures. And not all creatures are like that. Some of them are only dangerous because some ponies don't handle them properly, and do not understand their behaviors and instincts."

"I wish my world had more people like you, Fluttershy."

"People?" The yellow Pegasus had never heard of that term before. Figures since that the dominant species of this world are talking ponies after all.

"What we usually call company in general where I come from." Gumball admitted. "It's hard to understand. But the point is: my world can use more creatures like you. It would be a way better place if it was possible."

"Is it evil?" Asked Fluttershy

"Well... it's a mixed bag on Earth. There are good people and there are good people. Winners and losers in life."


Back on Earth, Nicole was being as flexible as possible during her yoga lessons with her sister, but she was still mentally struggling.

"I still sense some bad mojo in you, little sister." Said Penelope. "Your physique is... impressive, but you need to clear your mind of any negative thoughts."

"I'm trying, Penelope. I really am. You just... don't know the kind of life I have. Taking care of four people in a household is a nightmare sometimes."

"And that's what I'm here for, Nicole. Just trust me and follow along in my instructions."

Still feeling reluctant, Nicole sighed and did more poses with his more calm sister. "Yet you got the easy life." She thought in her head
