Every animal is a friend to Fluttershy. She made that vow and she plans to keep it, even if this new creature looks and acts like something from a little foal's cartoon and also seems to have dropped out from a whole other world. This yellowish-green bird-like thing pops up out of Everfree Forest with a tag named "Sweet Jane" and an address leading to "The Factory" in "New York, New York", which Fluttershy has never heard of. Fluttershy can't understand a word it says, but it clearly seems to want to go back home as well as make music. If only Fluttershy could find this Lou Reed character that owns Sweet Jane.
I'm hoping that this odd little idea, coming from a mix of watching Lilo & Stitch, reacting to Human in Equestria cliches, and my current Velvet Underground obsession, breaks my current writer's block. Picture credits to Esark Design: http://esharkdesign.com/index.php/about/ Check him out.
