It was a beautiful summer morning as the soon mummah sat in the alleyway behind an abandoned Cubebuster video rental store. She was a black alicorn with a silver mane and her special friend was yellow unicorn with an orange mane named Napalm. They had escaped from a breeding mill a couple months ago along with a bunch of other fluffies when some nice people opened their cages. A bit of a double edged sword for them was that the mill never chipped them. So while the mill could never find them if a shelter or nice human found them first, it also meant that abusers had free reign.
She babbled happily as her mate returned with more trashy and grassy nummies for her tummie babbehs. Without him, she would have died due to having been immobile for the last couple days. Suddenly she felt something. It felt like poopies, but she had just gone potty a bit ago. Then she realised it, her babies were coming.
âSpeshaw fwiend! Babbehs am cominâ!â Napalm jumped into action and began helping her with the delivery, bringing the foals up to her for cleaning. The first was a black alicorn colt, the second was a yellow pegasus filly, the third was a light blue earthie colt, and then came a yellow unicorn colt. It was stillborn, and Napalm wept for the foal before a final fifth foal came out, a pink unicorn filly. This one chirped like all its siblings before its yellow brother. Napalm quickly and quietly took the yellow unicorn away so his special friend wouldnât have to see.
A week passes and the little foals open their eyes. The mare had been eating well so she had plenty of milk. She loved all her foals equally and made sure they all knew that, as she had seen what happened to âbestest babbehsâ at the mill. The one problem that she didnât realize was that people had noticed Napalm dragging food back to his mate. Not even a day after their eyes had opened a man had followed him back to his family.
âHello little fluffies,â said the pale skinned man. âWhat are you doing out here?â
The two adults were terrified, they knew humans did bad things to fluffies, but there was the nice human who freed them. âHewwo mistah. Napawm anâ speshaw friend hab famiwy. Pwease nu huwties.â
âOh, Iâm not planning on hurting you. Just thought you should know this place isnât safe. Theyâre planning to tear down that building next week.â
âTeaw down?â inquired the mare.
âIt means get rid of. This place is going to be very dangerous.â
Napalm started to think that not all humans were bad, âTank âou nice mistah. Wiww gu find nyu home.â
âHere why donât you take these sketti treats. They will give you energy for your big move.â He hands each of the adults a small red disc that they greedily ate. The allure of anything sketti related was enough to undo any caution they had.
âTank âou ni-â and they were out like a light.
âWorks like a charm every time.â He chuckles. âReally need to be more cautious guys.â The man takes out a chip scanner and checks the adults. The negative results cause a smile to creep across his face. Sucks to be you guys.â Grabbing an old box he gathers up the family and checks the foals. The alicorn and the pegasus get his attention. âWell well well, you have such pretty eyes. I guess Pumpkin is going to have some new friends.â They chirp as he places them in the box with their parents. Leaving he makes sure to stop by the property owner and collect his payment for removing the fluffies from the property.
It is about two hours later when the mare wakes up in a dark basement to the sound of hungry chirps from her foals. There was very little light and she didnât know where she was or where her mate was. She could smell him, but couldnât see him. She needed to put on a brave face for her foals.
âIt am otay babbehs, mummah am hewe. Come get miwkies.â She started to sing, âMummah wuv babbehs, babbehs wuv mummah. Dwink aww miwkies gwow up big anâ stwong.â Almost on que, a door opened just as she finished feeding her babies.
âAre you enjoying your new home?â Bob says as he walks into the room.
âPwease mistah, whewe am speshaw frienâ? Fwuffy miss Napawm.â She was so terrified she nearly soiled her. Bob just smiles and flicks on the light. The mare looks down as a reaction to the light turning on and notices the blanket her foals were laying on and starts to scream. It was Napalmâs hide, sprawled out like a bearskin rug. Bob smiles even wider because unknown to her, the fun was just beginning.
