I'll explore the village. As long as I keep cover, I shouldn't be spotted.

     Nodding confidently, you head toward the huge village.

     At first, you see not a single soul. Huh. That's strange. Luckily, you're used to sneaking around, because, when your mother wasn't watching, you used to steal a few minor things from unfortunate souls. You mischievous little devil, you.

     Tip-pawing through an alley, you jump from cover to cover, briefly catching glimpses of the creatures...they're of decent size...but you haven't gotten a good look at them.

     Slowly but surely, you'll sneak around the barrel you're hiding behind, and...

     "Hi!" a strange, grey creature chirps, literally inches from your face.

     You gasp and fall back, before quickly pulling it behind a barrel.

     "You saw me!?" you start, clearly concerned for your stealth skills.

     She giggles, "Of COURSE I saw you! You're a fox with three tails, SIlly!"

     Your cover might be blown...you think about killing her...no, Mother survived Equestria without killing anyone, and so can you!

     Ears laid back, you sigh, "Do you know what I am?"

     She ponders for a surprisingly long moment, before coming up with a satisfying answer, "I've got it! I think you're a fox!"

     "Er, yes," you try, "and you're...just imagining things..."

     "I am?" she asks confusedly.

     "Er, right, yes! Yes you are! Have you eaten anything strange lately?" you ask in a sophisticated tone.

     "Hm...well, I had a muffin for breakfast...but nothing else" she shrugs.

     "...it was a, um..." you start a lie, but can't finish it...no, wait, "...a demon muffin! Yes, that's it! That muffin was inhabited by demons!"

     She flaps her wings, "It was? How do you know?"

     "Because,"-you pause for dramatic effect-"I'm a demon hunting fox!"

     "Oooh..."-she circles around you-"well nice to meet you, Mr. Demon hunting fox! My name's Derpy Hooves!"

     The creature looks to be a miniature horse...but with wings. Where have you seen this before? Oh, right, Greek mythology, of course, Pegasus. Her grey coat makes her blonde mane and tail pop out, and her flank displays a picture of a few bubbles. Her strangest feature is most definitely her set of eyes. Both point in different directions, and...they're surprisingly...hypnotic...you shake your head. No, whatever mind tricks she's playing, she won't get the better of you. She appears to be a crafty, powerful creature.

     Maybe I should ask him if I can pet him...Derpy thought to herself, Hmmm...no, he might not like it so much. I wonder if demon hunting foxes like muffins?

     "Do you want a muffin?" she held out a tasty treat to her new friend.

     You blink your slanted eyes, staring blankly at the baked...thing, "Er...what is it?"

     Her strange eyes go wide, "You...you don't know what a m-muffin is?"

     "No...should I?" you raise an eyebrow?

     She doesn't respond.

Five minutes later...

     "Out of the way! Emergency!" the grey horse thing bellows loudly, galloping through the streets of Ponyville with you on her back.

     "No, gah! Wh-what are you doing!? You've exposed me!" you snarl as she tramples and rams ponies in her haste.

     She slams the the doors of the veterinarian clinic open and bursts into tears, running past the main lobby into the emergency rooms, leaving behind a confused receptionist.

     She zooms into a random doctor's office at speeds that would put Rainbow Dash to shame and dumps you onto his desk roughly, spilling ink all over his nearly-complete paperwork, "Doctor, you have to help him! We need three or four liquefied muffin IVs, ASAP!"

     He jumps back in shock, then gets a closer look at you and raises an eyebrow, "Derpy...have you been taking any...animal medication, lately?"

     "Well, yes, but that has nothing to do with this! This is an emergency! I don't know how the little guy has even LIVED this long!" she cries out hysterically.

     He rubs his temples and sighs, "Derpy, you can't just bring animals into the clinic to-"

     Stopping, he notices your three tails, "What...what's this?"

     His eyes go wide and he stares at you.

     You put on a sheepish smile, "Uh, I only have one tail...and I'm a horse too...and...this isn't...what it looks like?"

     "Im...impossible! A fox with three tails...talking! It IS talking, isn't it, Derpy? Am I going mad!?" he wonders aloud, now incredibly fascinated.

     You facepaw, "I'm not a fox...and I'm not an 'it' either, I'm a...wait, why am I even talking to you?"

     Quickly scrambling to your paws, you use your magic to open a nearby window and hastily leap out of it.

     "Hey, wait!" the doctor tries to jump out of the window after you, but gets his coat caught on his desk and falls flat on his snout.

     Running through Ponyville faster than you ever thought was possible for someone with such small legs, you make your way to somewhere- anywhere! So long as you can safely hide out there for a while.

     You come across a massive, partially pink building. In appearance, it looks similar to a pastry of some sort, but you know better than to think that these horses would make something as impractical as that. You tip-paw through the back door and hide in the kitchen next to a few pots and pans.

     After a few minutes, you realize that you don't really have a place to stay...you could take the form of a horse and rent some sort of lodging, or...

     An idea forms in your head...a beautifully mischievous idea...you could haunt this place. You snicker for a moment, and then...remember your mission. You want to start a new life, a GOOD new life...but maybe new lives are kind of boring. Besides, you don't want to spend good money on some stupid apartment or something.

     You think of your mother...and you realize that SHE probably didn't do anything evil when SHE went through Equestria...

     What will you choose?
