Chapter 3: Cats?!

As the footsteps grew closer Fluttershy jumped into a झाड़ी, बुश with a startled squeek. Her turquoise colored eyes were big and scared.

Out of the undergrowth, no monster came, but a gray tabby cat.(the ponies are the same size as the बिल्ली in this story) “i can smell you, I know you're here.” it said.

“what did आप find?” the voice of a she cat said, it was close but not close enough to see.

“i...don't know. They don't smell like kittypets, या warriors, loners या rouges. They're not कुत्ता या twolegs though and they're way too bigg to be prey.” the gray tabby replied.

“the word you're looking for is pony, we're ponies.” इंद्रधनुष dash said, hovering slightly in the air.

“never of them, are they like pigs?” the tabby said.

“what?! We're nothing like pigs! How dare आप accuse us of such things?!” Rarity said.

“we're kind of like horses, but smaller, cuter and और colorful.” Twilight said.

“what रंग are आप guys?” the gray tabby asked.

“are आप colorblind या just dumb?” इंद्रधनुष dash asked.

“i was born blind and very smart, in fact-” the tabby cut himself off, as if he was about to reveal something important.

Then a brown tabby she cat with a white underbelly walked out of the undergrowth and stood beside the tabby. “are they giving आप trouble? If they are, I can help you.” she said.

“I'm perfectly fine, leafpool.” the gray tabby replied.

“leafpool, that's an interesting name.” Twilight said.

“interesting, it's just a name.” Leafpool said.

“what do they look like, Leafpool?” the gray tabby asked.

Leafpool described each of them in detail, leaving out Fluttershy since she was still in the bushes and couldn't be seen.

“bring them to the clan.” the gray tabby said.

“are आप crazy, Jayfeather?” Leafpool asked.

“yes, now bring them to the clan.” Jayfeather replied, walking away. Leafpool and they ponies and Spike followed him, not knowing what they would find.
