This is my submission to @BFM101’s Da Twiwight Pwace - Community Project , based on the episode “Living Doll”
Christie, a recently weaned Fluffy foal had just been given a new toy by her owner. A Fluffy doll that was not that much smaller than her. It was a surprisingly detailed doll, that could easily be confused for a real Fluffy from a distance. The doll had a white coat of fluff (Possibly another color, but you know), plastic limbs hidden under the felt skin that allowed the doll to stand, and a voice box that a Fluffy could activate by gently biting down on it or hugging it tightly. It was the best gift a Fluffy foal could ask for and Christie was excited to show it off.
Christie happily ran to where her brothers and sisters were playing. “Wook what daddeh gabe chwistie” she said as loud as she could with the toy still in her mouth.
Christie gently bit down on the doll; the mechanical limbs began to slightly move as the doll spoke. “Fwuffy’s name am Tawkie Tina an’ fwuffy wub 'ou” the doll said in a voice that was even more cutesy and cartoony than a normal Fluffy voice. Christie’s four brothers and sisters were so excited as Fluffies tend to be for new toys. They all took turns making the doll speak and even realized that if they put the doll down after pressing the voice box it could walk.
Everything was going great until Christie’s mother Erika saw her with the new doll. “What am poopie babbeh doin’ wiff new toisies?” The now obviously angry mare shouted at the frightened foals. Christie’s brothers and sisters ran off hiding behind various pieces of furniture around their owner’s living room, leaving Christe standing there clutching the doll tears welling in her eyes.
“Daddeh gabe it to chwistie. Daddeh said chwistie was gud fwuffy an’ desewbed gift.” Christe said while crying and tightly hugging the doll. Her tight hugging made the doll speak again.
Erika grabbed the doll with her mouth and pulled it away from Christie. “Nu mummah pwease nu take Tawkie Tina 'way!” Christie cried out as the doll was ripped from her grasp.
Erika kicked away christie, causing the foal to run behind the couch while still frantically crying. “Daddeh meant gift fo’ bestes’ babbeh nu poopie babbeh!” As Erika was yelling with the doll in her mouth, she managed to activate it.
“Fwuffy’s name am Tawkie Tina an’ fwuffy nu wike 'ou” the doll said sweetly as Erika held it. Erika sat down visibly confused, held the doll in her hooves and looked down at it. She squeezed the doll making it speak again. “Fwuffy couwd eben hate 'ou” The doll said looking directly at Erika, with its beady glass button eyes.
“Toisie am su mean. Ewika nu can gib meanie toisie to bestes’ babbeh” she said as she held the doll. “Ewika wiww get wid of meanie toisie” she said directly into the doll’s face.
The camera panned over to Wod Sehwing, the black and white alicorn host. While he was standing right by where everything just happened, it was obvious that the other characters could not see him. “Tawkie Tina, huggie fwend that does ebewything, wifewike cweation of pwastic an’ fwuff an’ gwass see-pwaces. To ewika, she am dah most unwewcome addition to dah househowd—but without hew, fwuffy’d nebah entah da Twiwight Pwace.”
Erika, gripping the doll tightly, went out a carelessly left open door and into the yard. She ran onto the road and dropped the doll into the middle of it. She turned around to head back to the house, satisfied that she had gotten rid of the mean toy. Feeling like she had done a good job she decided to take her afternoon nap. She was woken by the sounds of her foals playing and a familiar voice saying “Fwuffy’s name am Tawkie Tina an’ fwuffy wub 'ou”
Erika ran into the living room as fast as she could, the other foals running and hiding, once again leaving Christie alone and clutching the doll. “How did poopie babbeh get meanie toisie back?” Erika screamed.
“Tawkie tina said dey wouwd pwotect chwistie an’ not to be afwaid of dummeh mummah.” Christie said hugging the doll tightly.
Erika was now beyond angry; she again ripped the doll away from christie. In her anger She kicked Christie multiple times. “Ewika gib sowwy hoofsies to wyin’ poopie babbeh” she said as Christie cried and curled up into a ball.
The doll, despite laying on the ground at the time, began to speak again “Tawkie Tina am goin’ to gib foweba sweepies tu 'ou”
Erika turned her attention to the doll, picked it up and ran for the door that was shockingly still open. As she made her way onto the road one of her front legs fell into a hole in the asphalt that was not there when she went onto the road earlier. She dropped the doll and it bounced along to the other side of the road and landed on its feet, in just the right position to watch Erika. Erika’s leg had fallen into the small, jagged hole at just the right angle to break her leg. The odd angle it had broken seemingly locking her in the hole. She cried out, feeling the worst pain she had ever had in all her pampered life. She tried desperately to pull her broken leg free, but her now open skin caught on the jagged edges of the hole sending white hot pain through her body.
Erika began to cry, looking across the road to the doll that appeared to be smiling as it watched her. She was then blinded by a pair of blaring lights as a car drove towards her. Right before she was hit, the action paused and the voice of Wod Sehwing began to speak. “Of couwse, we aww know huggie fwiends nu can weawwy tawk, an’ dey cewtainwy nu can commit muwdah. Buh to dah babbeh caught in dah middwe of tuwmoiw an’ confwict, dah huggie fwend can become many things: fwend, defendew, guawdian. Especiawwy dah huggie fwend wike Tawkie Tina, who did tawk an’ did commit muwdew—in dah misty wegion of da Twiwight Pwace.”
