Mud quietly watched the rest of the herd for a long time as she nursed and tended to her chirpies. This new place, this pen, her new herd were very much unlike what she was used to.
Most of the fluffies in here were not like her and her special friend, they weren’t born in the woods and used to living hard lives out there.
Many of them loudly wined for their human parents that they ran away from or angrly demanded treats and sketties for doing things that she would consider something you should do as a matter of course.
And then there was her new smarty, Spike.
Spike was different to the other smarties in the pen, beyond the obvious physical differences she could see like his height, muscled body and unusually sharp horn.
He was not bossy or mean like most of the others she had met, he told you what he needed to be done and expected you to do it. It was a quiet authority that was rare to find in smarties, much less unicorns.
“EEE! WET FWUFFY GU! AM GUD FWUFFY! STUPI WINGY MUNSTAH! WET FWUFFY G-”
Mud looked up to see yet another fluffy get carried off by the purple wingy-creature who called itself the den smarty, Violet was her name, if she remembered right.
She wondered what that fluffy must have done to get carried away to the other place, how many rules he must have broken.
She rolled herself up onto her feet, letting her back legs stretch out from sitting in the nursing position for so long, before trotting up to her special friend River and brushing her body against him while he was keeping watch for Spike.
“Hewwo spechiaw fwiend!”
“Hewwo speciaw fwiend. Wivew watch babbehs fow wiwe su Mud can gu fow wawkies?”
River looked at her, before slowly turning to Spike who was looking strait at the two of them before giving a curt nod of approval and going back to watching the herd.
“Wivew am watch babbehs fow speciaw fwiend!”
Mud leaned over to River and gave him a gentle hug, nuzzling her nose into his neck fluff and causing him to make a few light cooing noised before bringing herself back to a walking stance and going off to explore the pen.

As Mud left her nest, Precious glared at the brown mare as she went. Precious hated her, or more to the matter, she hated how much she reminded her of her human mumma.
Precious, heavily pregnant and only barely able to move, knew that soon she would have her own babies again.
They would be pretty too, more pretty than any of that brown fluffies ugly monster babies. She was a ‘de-sign-aw’ fluffy, she would always have prettier babies!
And she knew that she would have a monster baby among her litter, she always had at least one. She couldn’t remember how many of them she had to get rid of since she ran away from her old mumma.
She remembered back to the time before when she was the most important thing in her mothers life, when she had a warm house, toys, love and all the sketties she could eat.
She remembered asking for babies and her momma giving her a monster for a special friend.
She remembered when she finally did have her babies, and they were monsters too. She remembered as they grew and her momma came to love them more than her.
She remembered giving them forever sleepies hoping that her mother would love her the most again. She could never forget the night her momma threw her out into the street.
Now, Precious looked at the dirty, shit covered feral across from her, with her special friend and her monster family and the same worms she felt in her gut when her old human mother betrayed her twisted in her once again.
“SPECIAW FWIEND! PWECIOUS NEE SPECIAW FWIEND!”
She watched Livewire pull himself out of the fluff pile and waddle over to her.
He called himself the smarty of her herd, but she knew that in reality, she was the one who made all the REAL discussions and if she made a demand, he would satisfy it.
“Wah Pwecious wan… it am dawkie tiem…”
“Pwecious see munstah babbehs obew dewe!”
“Otay? Su wah?”
“Munstah babbehs am bah fow tummy babbehs! Wivewiwe nee make gu way!”
“Weawwy?! Wivewiwe nu no dat!”
“Quiet down dummeh!”
She lowered her voice down to just above a harsh whisper as she looked to make sure that the none of the weird big fluffies noticed them talking.
She had noticed that the bird-monster smarty would talk to them sometimes, and they would point out fluffies for her to take away.
“Yus! Wivewiwe nee gib bah munstah babbehs fowebah sweepies!”
Her special friend paused at that, considering both what she had just asked him to do and the plausibility of what she was asking. Livewire leaned down to his special friend and lowered his voice.
“Buh how am Wivewiwe du dat? Wivewiwe nu wan make biwdy-munstah smawty mad! Nu wan gu fowebah sweepies!”
“Dummeh! Hab dummeh toughies gu make fighties wif uddah hewds! Den dummeh make munstahs gu fowebah sweepies!”
Livewire considered what she had said to him, before eventually standing up to begin preparations for enacting his special friends plan. She returned her glare back to the monsters in the herd across from her.

Although, Spike was approached a few times by mares from the other herds asking if he wanted to be their special friend, most of which left when he showed them the alicorns or when he told them that he already had a special friend.
A couple of them were not repulsed by the alicorns and left politely when he mentioned his current special friend, he marked them out to Violet for later, those ones would probably be going to the shelter. Lack of alicorn fear was very valuable trait.
Violet, who had been keeping a close handle on he herd had so far managed to keep casualties low and, barring one notable example, humane.
For the most part, the fluffies never seemed to realise that being taken by Violet around the back of the house was synonymous with death.
At little after midnight a massive tussle broke out between a bunch of fluffies from one of the more colorful herds and one of the less colorful ones, which didn’t take long to break into complete pandemonium.
While Violet flew down to try and break it up, it quickly became clear that she couldn’t do it alone.
Spike stood up from where he was, looking back to River.
“Take cawe babbehs, Spike nee hewp Viowet!”
With that the green unicorn dashed into the fray to begin breaking up the fight, soon joined by Chopper and Twitch as other fluffies took this as a moment to misbehave or try things they wouldn’t if their ‘smarty’ was watching.

River looked at the frantic melee going on in the center of the pen and shook his head. It reminded him of the time when he used to be in a herd, before he met his special friend and ran away.
He turned his attention back to more important matters, looking back at the two older wingy pointy fluffies who were playing with a small ball back in the nest. He trotted up to the two babies with a smile on his face.
“Wingy pointy babbehs am otay? Hab fun pway wif baww?”.
“Yus! Yus! Fwuffy su happy pway toysies, tank yu toughie Wivew!” The little green filly replied looking up at him with a smile.
“Yus…”
River looked at the little white alicorn, he was shy, but he was actually talking now so there was some progress. He lifted his hoof and gave a gentle pat to the both of them, the green filly cooing lightly at his touch.
“Yu am gud babbehs, Wivew wub bab-”
WHAM!
River toppled onto his side as something hard crashed into his side, toppling him onto his back and rolling him over. He quickly rolled to his feet to face whatever that was that hit him.
Only to be toppled again by a massive purple and maroon earthy stallion who pushed him onto his side, hit him a few times in the ribs and the laid overtop of him to hold him on the ground.
“DUMMEH FWUFFY! WIVEWIWE SAY YU STAY ON GWOUND!”
“WIVEW NU DUMMEH! YU AM DUMMEH! WET WIVEW GU!”
River kicked and bucked against the brutish fluffies weight, eliciting another stomp to the ribs for his efforts. He didn’t stop struggling, but the big toughie managed to maneuver him into a stronger hold.
As he struggled, he saw a blue and white earthy approach the herd with a disdainful look on its face, flanked by an orange unicorn stallion and a lime colored unicorn with a scarred face.
“Tu many munstah babbehs! Munstah babbehs bad fow speciaw fwiend tummy babbehs!”
The orange unicorn quickly looked over the assembled fluffies, spotting the spotty green alicorn filly and getting an unsettling look on its face.
“Pwetty fiwwy…”
The green alicorn caught his gaze and nervously tried to back away from the unsettling gold unicorn, who took a step toward her before he halting as the smarty addressed the standing herd.
“Munstah babbehs am bad fow tummy babbehs! Speciaw fwiend say su! Munstah babbehs nee go fowebah sweepies fow speciaw fwiend tummy babbehs!”
When River heard the blue smarties plan, he thrashed against the fluffy restraining him, even biting at his legs, until the massive purple fluffy reared up and stomped down on his stomach with both hooves, knocking the wind out of him and causing him to vomit.
Livewire smirked at him, and turned back to face his other toughies, only to find Mud standing before him, having apparently returned from her walk when the chaos of the rest of the pen had started to threaten her herd.
Livewire puffed out his cheeks and stood his ground in a threat display, expecting the brown mare to back down and cower like all of the other bad colored fluffies he’d done this to.
What he didn’t expect was to get a sorry hoofie in the eye for his efforts.
Mud struck Livewire fully in the eye with her front hooves, sending the fluffy sprawling and crying onto his back as she looked down on him and started pounding his chest and belly with her front nubs.
“YU AM BAD FWUFFY! HATCHU! BAD! BAD! GU WAY! WEAVE BABBEHS AWONE!”
As Mud pummeled him, Livewire started to scream for his toughies!
“SCREEE! OWWIES! NU HEWT WIVEWIWE! TOUGHIES HEWP! BAD MAWE GIB WIVEWIWE WOWSTEST HEWTIES! SCREEE! HEWP!”
Livewire over on his back to look for his lime green toughie, only to see the unicorn run toward Mud lean on her front hooves and kick him when he got close.
His green toughie, Glowstick fell to the ground nearby clutching its nose and trying to hold the tide of boo-boo juice that streamed out of it.
Suddenly, Mud was knocked off of Livewire by a charging headbutt from Goldie that sent the mare sprawling and elicited an audible ‘crack’ from one of Muds ribs where the horn hit.
Despite the pain from her side, Mud spun to face the golden colored fluffy with an angry look in her eye.
“DUMMEH MAWE! YU NEE GUD STAWWION PUT IN YU PWACE!”
Goldie taunted as Mud faced him down.
“AM ONWY WUN GUD STAWWION HEWE, IT NU AM YU!
Mud rushed the gold fluffy, who set against her charge and dodged away as she reached him, poking at her again with his horn.
“UGWY MAWE! NU GUD FOW FIGHTIES, ONWY ENFIES! WIKE FIWWY OBEW DEWE!”
Goldie taunted her, tilting his head in the direction of the little green alicorn filly, who had backed herself up near the edge of the pen with the white alicorn colt.
Mud mud got ready to charge the disgusting gold stallion, not knowing if she could beat him, but knowing what horrible thing he wanted to do to her new green baby if she didn’t.
She started to run toward him when a sound to her left halted her charge.
“STOP! OW GWOWSTICK GIB BAD MAWE BABBEHS FOWEBAH SWEEPIES!”
”PEEP! PEEP!
She turned to face Glowstick recoiling in shock as she saw the unicorn standing over the pile of chirpies with one of his hooves pressing down lightly on the back of her grey blue baby.
The lime green unicorn pushed down lightly on the little blue unicorn while glaring at her, causing the baby to let out a stream of scared chirps and a small pile of scardy poopies.
Her special friend wriggled fiercely trying to escape the grasp of the big purple toughie and run to protect his babies.
“NUU! NU HEWT BABBEHS, BABBEHS AM TU WIDDWE!!”
Mud glared at the lime unicorn, glared back twice as hard at the orange unicorn she had been fighting as Goldie wore a massive shit eating grin, knowing that she was out of options.
She laid down on her belly, tears of frustration and rage welling in her eyes, as she looked to both her own babies and her new adopted babies.
“Am sowwy babbehs… Mud am nu gud mummah… nu can pwotect babbehs…
The three stallions surrounded her; Livewire and Glowstick beginning to pummel her around the head and body, while Goldie rounded around behind her and began to mount her. The gold unicorn leaned down to whisper to her once he had himself in place.
“Dummeh enfie mawe! Gowdie gonna put yu in yu pwace, wike Gowdie say su! Goldie gib wowstest- SCREEEEE! WUMPS! SPECIAW WUMPS! WOWSTEST HEWTIES! SCREEE!”
Goldie bucked hard as an intense pain ran from his special lumps throughout his entire body, feeling his hooves connect with something small behind him and send it flying out away from him.
The gold unicorn grasped at its testicles as the other two fluffies stopped beating Mud to look toward what had attacked their friend.
The nameless white alicorn colt slowly wobbled to its feet, vomiting out the limited contents of its stomach from the impact force of getting kicked full on by both of the yellow stallions’ hooves.
It hurt. It hurt everywhere. It could feel the shape of the gold stallion’s hooves imprinted against its skin.
“Nu taste pwetty… bad stawwion… nu hewt nyu mama…”
The two stallions looked at each other, looked to their golden comrade sobbing on the ground and clutching his balls, and the lime green stallion walked over to the little white alicorn who stood his ground and glared up into his eyes.
“Meanie munstah babbeh, Gwowstick gib yu sowwy hoofies fow hewt toughie fwiend Gowdie!”
The little white alicorn looked up at the much bigger stallion, shakily set his hooves and charged into his front leg with his horn while shouting in its much smaller voice.
“BAD FWUFFY! NU HEWT NYU MAMA! NU HEWT NYU SISSY! HATCHU!”
Its charge did nothing, and the mass of the much larger fluffy caused it to topple onto its side beside him. It didn’t give up, pulling itself to its feet and flailing impotently on the leg of the much larger stallion with its nubby hooves.
Glowstick rolled his eyes. This was getting ridiculous and annoying, he reared up on his front hooves before coming down on the tiny foal, flattening it with an audible crack, and trampling on it a few times for good measure.
The little white alicorn lay in a heap of shattered bones and bruised flesh, bleeding profusely from the hole in its head where its horn had been pushed and twitching as its now broken body betrayed it.
“mu…muh…bab…bleegh…mu…he…hew…hewt…mu…m…mmm…”
Glowstick looked down at the broken body of the colt, twitching and trying to crawl away toward the dirt colored mare who it called its ‘nyu mama’. He shook his head at the ruined creature and lifted his hoof to end its broken existence.
“Wah did yu du…?”
A voice broke through Glowsticks concentration, as he turned to see a large, bad colored green unicorn looking down on him with a look of shock, horror and something else he couldn’t quite place.
The green unicorn turned to face this new fluffy, ready to run him off, until he started to notice the new fluffies eyes begin to change. Its breathing grew hard and the spiral pattern in its eyes that was almost imperceptible before began to become far more noticeable.
“Wah did yu du?!”
Glowstick started to back off as the other unicorns voice took on a ring of ferocity he hadn’t seen in a fluffy before as the big fluffy stared down at the broken body of the little white alicorn.
The big fluffy stomped his front hooves into the ground, kicking up dust and beginning to tremble with a barely contained rage.
“WaH dId Yu Du?!”
“wAh DiD yU dU?!”
“WAH DA FWUCK DID YU DU?!”
