Fluttershy was out feeding the chickens in the chicken coop.

“Hello, my babies, how are you?” She asked them. They clucked happily. “Do you have any eggs for me today?” Just then she heard a loud crash behind her, which caused her to hide behind the chickens. They started lightly pecking at her, urging her to check out the disturbance.

Fluttershy nodded. “Oh, o-ok, if you really want me to…” The chickens clucked angrily at her, causing her to jump up and exited the chicken coop.

Outside, Fluttershy saw a crater. She shivered and approached the crater, inching towards the edge. Inside she saw a most strange creature that kind of looked like a red manta ray with a weird insignia on its chest groaning in pain. She immediately rushed in, noticing as she approached it that its eyes appeared to be burned out.

“Oh my, we need to get you inside…”

“No...need…” the creature weakly said.

“Nonsense, you’re coming inside with me!” she said resolutely as she draped the creature over her shoulders and carried it inside.

----

Fluttershy propped the creature onto her sofa and began mixing up a healing salve.

“You know, you don’t really have to do that,” the creature said.

“Don’t be silly, I’d do this for any injured animal!” Fluttershy replied.

“No, seriously, you don’t have to do that. Watch!” He then slammed the insignia and was bathed in a green glow, causing Fluttershy to shield her eyes. It revealed a hairless ape wearing a white hoodie with a green “10” on it, khakis, and black sneakers on the ends of its feet, as well a a weird wristwatch. Fluttershy let out a keening screech, at which the creature, upon laying its eyes on Fluttershy, which were apparently healed, screamed as well. Fluttershy kicked up the table and hid.

“W-what are you!?” Fluttershy squeaked.

The creature, having gained control of itself, stood up and brushed itself off. He then raised an eyebrow. “You mean you don’t recognize me?”

“N-no,” Fluttershy said weakly, “w-why sh-should I?” The creature frowned at that, then sighed. He lifted up the table, then knelt down, offering a hand.

“I’m Ben Tennyson.” Fluttershy stared at the proffered hand. Ben gave a weird stare at Fluttershy. “Wielder of the Omnitrix?” Fluttershy stared some more. “Savior of the universe?” Fluttershy kept staring. “Friend to all aliens?” Ben sighed, then grabbed Fluttershy’s hoof gently, shaking it. Fluttershy was still staring. “What’s your name?”

“F-fluttershy,” she squeaked, “and it’s v-very n-nice to m-meet you, B-ben…” and then fainted. Ben raised an eyebrow at that.

----

“Huh. Never had that happen before..let’s get you into bed.” He then picked Fluttershy up and put her in her bed, drawing the covers over her. He then pulled up a chair and sat down next to the bed. He then held his wrist out and said, “Omnitrix, scan life form.”

A yellow sweep emerged from the watch, scanning Fluttershy’s passed out form. “Scan completed,” the watch said in a female voice. Ben smiled at that.

“Alright!” Ben then turned the dial on the watch, selecting a pegasus from it. He then slammed down on the watch, a green light overtaking him. It then revealed a pegasus stallion with a green coat and a brown mane and tail. He hopped off of the chair and stood to look in the mirror, admiring his new form. He then noticed a tattoo of the watch on both sides of his butt. “Huh, that’s interesting…” and then he trotted over to Fluttershy, prodding her with a hoof.

----

Fluttershy’s eyes flitted open as she regained consciousness, revealing a green pegasus with a brown mane. She then started shrieking.

“Who are you and how did you get into my house!?”

The stallion raised an eyebrow, then hit his head with his hoof. “It’s me!”

“You?”

“Ben. Ben Tennyson!”

Fluttershy’s eyes widened at that. “B-but how did you…”

Ben chuckled. “It’s my Omnitrix. With it, I can turn into any alien I want!”

Fluttershy frowned at that. “But we’re not aliens.”

“Of course you are. Or I guess we both are, to each other.”

Realization dawned on Fluttershy. “You mean...you’re not from this PLANET!?”

“And the last horse crosses the finish line…” Ben said as he chortled.

“You mean to say that that other thing you were was an alien too!?”

“Yep!” Just then, a bunny hopped in. Ben stared weirdly at it.

The rabbit hopped into Fluttershy’s forelegs. “What? Do you not have bunnies on your planet?”

“No..we do.”

Fluttershy started scratching the bunny behind the ears. “So what’s the problem?”

“It’s just that...that shouldn’t be possible.”

Fluttershy glared at Ben. “Why not?”

“Never mind. My cousin Gwen could explain more easily.”

Fluttershy frowned at that. “So...what are you doing here?”

Ben sighed. “I was escaping Vilgax-”

“-Vilgax?”

“Yeah, he’s a big bad - kind of my sworn nemesis, actually - as Jetray - the alien you discovered me as - when I was hit from a blast from his warship. It burned out my eyes, so I just picked a direction at random, went into hyperspeed, and I sorta crash landed in your yard.” Ben blushed at that. “Sorry about that, by the way. Collateral damage seems to follow me wherever I go.”

Fluttershy nodded at that, still stroking the rabbit. “I see. Does this Vilgax know where you are?”

Ben shook his head. “No. He’d have no way of following me at that speed.” Ben then sighed. “So I guess your planet is safe for now.” Fluttershy shuddered at that.

“Jetray?” She finally asked.

“Yeah, that’s what I like to call him. I guess I should come up with a name for this alien as well…”

“Well, we’re called pegasi…”

“Nope. Too girly.” Fluttershy frowned at that.

“What’s wrong with girly?”

“Nothing. It just doesn’t fit me. Benpony? Nah, sounds like something a corporation would use as a placeholder.” A flash shined in Ben’s eyes. “I got it!”

“What?”

“Soarhorse!”

Fluttershy gave Ben a weird stare. “You realize that we’re not horses…”

Ben nodded. “Yeah, but it’s catchy.” The rabbit gave Ben an evil glare.

Fluttershy clucked her tongue at the rabbit. “Now Angel, he’s just being creative. No need to get angry with him.”

Ben’s stomach then growled. “I’m hungry. You have any bacon here?”

“What’s bacon?”

“Cured pig meat!” Ben said, licking his lips.

Fluttershy’s eyes widened. “PIG!? You mean, you eat MEAT!?” and then fainted.

Ben facehooved. “Jeez, I was just looking for something to eat…”
