       Fall of Cleveland:
       
       
       >Be an Off-White Unicorn Fluffy Pony
       >Part of a Large Herd, trudging alongside a Long Metal Rails in
       double-file, muttering and whispering to each other to stay
       brave as you hear munstas in the distance.
       >Fast Metal Munstas that rush past and make your nearly fly off
       your hooves.
       >Dog Munstas that bark and howl, eager to hunt you down, eat the
       entire Herd.
       >Insect Munstas that fly up and land on your face, make you
       squeal and pee yourself.
       >But! Herd was eating grass and sweet brown ‘shrooms when they
       saw an amazing thing.
       >One of the Hooman’s Moving Boxes had a Magic Flat Thing that
       showed pictures on it, parked on the side of the
       Grasses-And-Trees places you lived in before, as the Hoomans
       grunted and swore at the Moving Box, while their Foals watched
       the Magic Flat Thing.
       >Whole Herd was transfixed, staring in amazement. How did the
       Magic Flat Thing do that? Hooman Foals nice, let Fluffies watch,
       not throw stones or use sticks on Fluffies.
       >”A wonderful place for your Special Pet to come and play,
       completely free of dangers such as feral cats and dogs, animal
       abusers and even deep water!” The Hooman in the Magic Flat Box
       said, smiling so widely everyone couldn’t help but smile back.
       “Shortly, this magical place, fun for the entire family, will
       open to the public, and bring Cleveland back onto the map as a
       tourist destination of choice.”
       >Smarty Friend not know where this ‘Cleveland’ was though.
       >Had to be very, very brave and ask the Biggest Munsta Hooman
       who ‘owned’ the Grass they were eating.
       >Hooman said ‘keep following the tracks to the east, and you’ll
       come to a bridge. Cleveland is across the bridge.’.
       >Honestly, you think he was just happy to see the Herd leave his
       ‘Wendy Park’ and stop making poopies on his grasses. Say that
       Fluffy Ponies ruin Wendy’s Park.
       >Life all your life in Grasses, and never meet this ‘Wendy’.
       Stupid Hoomans. Who dis ‘Wendy’?
       >Herd was sad to leave grasses, but everyone excited to go to
       ‘Sketti Park’.
       >It’s been a Bright Time, a Dark Time, a Bright Time, and now
       another Dark Time, but you see the ‘Highway’.
       >Big, BIG Black Thing! Has many parts, some looping around,
       others going straight.
       >Smarty Friend marshals the Herd, telling them that they sleep
       in the ditch, hide from the Munstas till morning, then try to
       read signs so they can find ‘Cleveland’ in the morning.
       >Everyone sighs in relief.
       >Hooves hurt from walking on stones all day. Tummies all but
       empty. Everybody is very, very thirsty....
       >The Herd shuffles away from the Train-Tracks, nipping at the
       green grass and weeds. Some Fluffies go further away and find a
       Flat Path that has some water pooled in it.
       >Water is dirty and tastes bad but everyone is sooooo thirsty.
       >Spaghetti Land .....
       >”Fwuffies haf Sketti soon...” Smarty Friend assures Fluffies as
       he trots down the lines, hugging Fluffies who are crying, saying
       they miss the Grass-And-Trees place.
       >Never had ‘Sketti’ before, but the very word conjures up a
       primal urge within you, calling forth delicious scents and
       tastes you never knew existed, driving you half mad as you chew
       on some disgustingly bitter weeds.
       >Spaghetti Land .....
       > ....... Land of the Fluffies.
       
       
       >The Herds had gathered, hiding behind trees or in bushes,
       waiting, watching, ready to flee or fight at a moment’s notice.
       >Foals were hushed if they started to cry or ask questions.
       Mares nervously waited, torn between their desire to protect the
       Foals and the urge to save themselves. Stallions snorted and
       pawed at the ground, unsettled by the number of strange Fluffy
       Pony scents that filled the air like musky incense.
       >Scouts who had entered the City returned with news the night
       before, almost babbling in excitement. It had taken the better
       part of the day to finally get them to calm down and talk
       rationally, and even then, few of them had made any sense.
       >Hoomans had decided to Worship Fluffies.
       >They were even building a Paradise for Fluffies, where no
       Munstas could go.
       >A place called ‘Sketti Park’.
       >Smarty Friends eyed each other warily as the Herds gathered for
       that rarest of meetings, a Fluffy-Moot, in clearing in the
       middle of the forest of Big Creek Park, where a patch of
       Honeydew Melons grew wild.
       >Fluffies crouched and hif behind the Honeydew Melons, sniffing
       the air and looking around constantly for ambushes or
       double-crosses.
       >Fluffies circled each other warily, looking for weakness or
       sickness.
       >Finally .... the Smarty Friends sat, glaring at each other.
       >”Yuu haf heard?” A Dull Brown Pegasus grunted, his wings
       twitching nervously. “Hoomans haf made pwace fo’ Fwuffies.”
       >”Is twick, Gommez say!” A Florescent Green Unicorn pipes up,
       stamping a hoof heavily on the ground. “Hoomans awways say they
       haf woom fo’ Fwuffies, buh they nevah do! Dey wan us come, den
       dey gif Biggest Owies!”
       >”Buh Sketti!” A third Smarty Friend, a Piebald Yellow-Red
       Unicorn, shouts loudly, his eyes wide with anticipation as he
       gazes at his fellows. “Sketti! How wong since we has Skettis
       Foals of Foals of Foals nu had skettis!”
       >”Is TWICK!” Florescent Green snapped back.
       >”SKETTI!” Piebald retored.
       >Both their Horns started to glow, and the Smarty Friends began
       to shuffle back, giving the two rivals room to duel.
       >”Yuu both stawp dat now!” A Fluffy Voice boomed, causing the
       Smarty Friends to squeak in alarm and crouch down.
       >Bowser, Biggest Smarty Friend, rumbled into the circle of the
       small melons, glowering angrily at the two Unicorns.
       >”Fwuffies know, nu Huwties here.” Bowser grumbled, rising up
       onto his hooves and giving owies to a melon.
       >It takes several tries, but eventually Bowser makes the Melon
       have the Biggest of Owies, and it splits open.
       >The delicious scent of the fruit makes everyone drool.
       >Bowser’s Herd is cracking open Melons and eating, and the other
       Herds are trying as well, without much success.
       >Thankfully, some of Bowser’s Fluffies are shuffling over to
       help. The other Herds give way before the large, silent Earth
       Fluffies, afraid of their thick, impenetrable Fluff and their
       infamously strong legs.
       >They are all big, ugly Fluffies like Bowser. All Earth
       Fluffies.
       >Bowser’s Herd gives away their Unicorn and Pegasus Foals to
       other Herds, and takes Earth Fluffies for theirs.
       >It’s strange, but they are all so, so big .... maybe only other
       Earth Fluffies are big enough to play with Bowser’s Herd.
       >”Dis is pwace where Hewds come to tawk, nu Huwties.” Bowser
       grunts, pushing the shattered melon into the middle of the
       Smarty Friends and sitting down next to it. “We aww hungwy, dat
       make us angwy. Yuu aww haf nummies, den we tawk ‘gain.”
       >Smarty Friends all shuffle over nervously, giving each other
       distrusting looks, but Bowser is there. If anyone tries to start
       a fight, Bowser will smush them like he did the Melon.
       >Bowser is rarest of Smarty Friends. Never steals Mares, never
       picks fights, never chases Fluffies away from their safe places.
       >But his Herd is also the most feared. If the Bowsers decide
       they want something, they surround it and tell other Fluffies to
       go away.
       >Some Smarty Friends tried to fight.
       >Bowser stomps them flat.
       >Other Smarty Friends tried to trick Bowser.
       >Bowser ignores them, turns his back on them.
       >Only Fluffy who can make Bowser do something other than what
       Bowser wants is Peach.
       >See her in the middle of Bowser’s Herd, pulling out mouthfuls
       of Melon to give it to the Foals of Bowser’s Herd.
       >Don’t get why she’s called Peach, she’s a Yellow Fluffy.
       >But, Bowser get angry when Fluffies say Peach is not Peach.
       >She is little Fluffy, half the size of Bowser, a Pegasus.
       >Only Pegasus in the Bowser Herd. She always so nice. Even
       Bowser’s Fluffies treat her well, give her gentle Hugs.
       >Bowser’s Special Friend, even if she never have any Foals. Is
       why other Herds shun her, but Bowser says he loves Peach.
       >Finally, the Smarty Friends retreat back to their places, their
       faces and chests sticky with juice. Everyone is full of sweet,
       juicy melon flesh, and they are a little more relaxed now.
       >Bowser was right, everyone feeling much better now.
       >Florescent Green and Piebald even licking each other clean.
       >”Nu Yellin’ in Hewd-Moot, dis say-cwed pwace.” Bowser warns a
       final time before shuffling back and rejoining the circle of
       Smarty Friends.
       >”Buh ... if twue ... Hewds finally haf safe pwace.” A large
       Dark Grey Earth Fluffy says, looking around the circle of Smarty
       Friends with an earnest expression. “If twue, den Fwuffies nu
       haf to wun an’ hide nu moar. Fwuffies can be safe, wamm, haf
       Foals an’ nu haf weave sick fwuffies behind!”
       >”If twap ... aww Hewds die, an’ Bad Hoomans win.” Florescent
       Green warns, but he’s nodding.
       >”Even if twap, Fwuffies mus’ twy! Hewds gettin’ hungwy, haf
       move fwom Fowest soon.” Another Smarty Friend added, looking
       around nervously. “Sooo many Fwuffies, haf to Raid Human gwasses
       aww time, eats flowers an’ otha tings, Hoomans get so mad an
       huwt Fwuffies.”
       >”Maybe ... some Hewds gu, and some Hewds stay?” Piebald
       offered. “Hewds stay get to eat gwasses, nu haf huwties wit’
       otha Fwuffies, Hewds dat gu get Skettis, and if twue, teww Hewds
       dat stay to come an’ eat Skettis too?”
       >”Is guud pwan. Buh onwy bwave Hewds gu.” Bowser rumbled,
       swinging his large head around to gaze at every Smarty Friend.
       “Next Dark Time, Smawty Fwiends come, teww wat de do. Den
       Fwuffies gu or stay.”
       >The Smarty Friends nodded and gave their assent. It was a big
       thing to do. To leave was to risk everything, but to stay was to
       never know if the fabled Spaghetti was waiting for them, deep in
       the Hooman’s territory.
       >As Bowser said. Only the Bravest Herds would go. There was too
       much at risk, otherwise.

       >”He’s well over the age limit!” the Marine protests.
       >”He’s served in the Corps before, hasn’t he?” you counter
       >”Still a bit too old.  He’d have to have a physical

       >No rush, just a nuisance
       >Until, in a coordinated effort uncanny for fluffies
       >The white fluffies run around to distract the crowd while one
       suffocates the dam
       >The crowd shrieks in terror as the dam fluffsplodes
       >Emotionless, a white fluffy stomps the stillborn foal

       >Panic ensues
       >You yell back to your unit, “Get these civilians to the field!

       >Don’t use firearms, we might ignite the city!”

       behind
       >Just as long as they think you can't see them
       >You keep beating them down
       >Some of them survive the first attack and get right back up
       >Toughest fluffies you’ve ever seen
       >But their numbers are wearing down
       >As you back your way to the field, you crush a ribcage and look
       up
       >The crowd is gone
       >But you can see the backs of thousands of fuzzies
       >Following them into the stadium
       >Be the driver in Marine Unit 109
       >You are escorting a group of civilians into Progressive Field
       >You just lost one as fuzzies tripped her over stairs in an
       attempt to distract her
       >They came from who-knows-where, maybe a vent?
       >You radio Drew Carey, he knows this place
       >”Sarge, we’re under attack here!
       >The fluzzies are coming out of nowhere!”
       >”Get the civilians to the field!  Fight in the open!”
       >”Got it”
       >You manage to make it onto the field
       >You huddle in a tight circle in the infield
       >You and your unit create a perimeter around the civilians
       >You don’t like your odds, though
       >There are tens of thousands of these things slowly marching to
       you
       >You radio back to Drew Carey
       >”Sarge, there’s too many.
       >I don’t think we can hold them.”
       >”Keep them away from the civilians, Marine.
       >I’ve got an idea.”
       >The fuzzies advance
       >You step up, keeping your perimeter wide
       >You are ready to be attacked by a fluffy pomy for your country
       >Then there is a roar
       >The emergency ambulance access blares a noise that turns every
       head
       Three Four!
       >You look, and there is your humvee
       Three Four!
       >Sarge is blaring music from the LRAD
       Three Four!
       >He motions for you to get in and drive
       >You comply as the music intensifies
       >Just then you recognize the song and smile
       >Working with Drew Carey is awesome

       I think that story made me spontaneously grow sunglasses. I'm
       going to rewrite the fuzzy stories to make tens of thousands of
       fuzzies on the loose.

       Neckbeard, I love the concept and execution of the Herd-Moot.
       And Bowser and Peach is a great combo.
       Is that complete, or will there be more?

       Basically I was thinking of a variety of short (for me, aaargh)
       stories in which various Feral Herds and Day-Care centers full
       of spoiled Tame Fluffy Ponies all get very, very excited by the
       news, and then start to head towards Cleveland as fast as they
       can.
       On another note, I'm basing all the Fluffies I write about from
       parks, gold courses and industrial parks near Cleveland itself,
       as seen on Googlemaps, if only so I can accurately depict the
       threats they will face going in to the city.

       Google Maps is the best (DOUBLE TRUE).  It's a great resource.
       I learned there was a cemetary right next to Progressive/Jacob's
       Field - though it'd be more appropriate if my hometown of Kansas
       City did that, methinks.  (In case somebody doesn't understand
       why)

       Neckbeard's stories are like Ents: majestic, but never small.
       You are our champion of fluffy POV, so I am all for leaving
       those stories to you.

       Permission to post this story on Ponibooru, or too soon for the
       'Plan'?
       Please, critique, I need it.
       Daycare Center Fluffies
       >Be a minimum wage earner at a Fluffy Pony ‘Daycare’ Center.
       >Your job is everything everyone else doesn’t want to do.
       >Empting the Litter Trays, picking up the stray poop, mopping up
       pee.
       >Not allowed to hit, yell at or even glare at the Fluffy Ponies.
       Owner threatened to boot your ass to the curb if so much as one
       Fluffy Pony whimpered at the sight of you.
       >Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
       >You hate Fluffy Ponies. They remind you of your kid brother,
       all shit and snot and whining.
       >But skipping school so often means you’ve got no credentials
       worth a damn, and the Big Mac and Burger King stores are all
       full up on employees.
       >Can’t buy no shit if you don’t have a job!
       >Rich Fucking SOBs with Fluffy Ponies, who are either going on
       holidays, into hospital or otherwise don’t have anyone to look
       after their genetic abomination shit-factories leave them at the
       “Daycare” center.
       >Rich Bastards. $50 a day, per Fluffy.
       >Fluffies are segregated into Male and Female groups to avoid
       Surprise Special Hugs, and given soft fluffy dice, giant plastic
       balls and stuffed animals to play with. Soft music such as Lois
       Armstrong’s ‘Wonderful World’ is piped in constantly during the
       daylight hours. At night-time, everyone gets their own special
       blanket, gets manually tucked in to their beds and every single
       Fluffy has a night-light and a ‘huggies’ button.
       >So glad the Boss doesn’t think you’re capable of handling the
       Night Shift. Even for an additional $5 an hour, you wouldn’t be
       caught dead sitting there from 6pm to 6am waiting for one of the
       shit-machines to have a bad dream, poop themselves and need a
       change of beddings and a bath.
       >But you do have to change the litter boxes once an hour, every
       hour, and the Fluffies get a constant stream of diced fruit and
       warm mash. Little bastards just play, eat, shit and babble.
       >FUCKING RICH BASTARDS AND THEIR FUCKING IRRITATIN’ SHIT-MACHINE
       PETS!
       >Fluffies are eating more of the damn Mash, made of potatoes,
       corn and carrots, and watching the Wide-Screen TV, chewing with
       big, bulging cheeks full of food. As they turn to talk to their
       neighbours, the mash spills out, splattering over the floor.
       >And you’ll have to clean it up. Fuuuuuuuuck.
       >Your lunch was two pieces of white bread with a slice of
       cheese. Unbuttered.
       >But the thought of eating what a Fluffy Pony finds enjoyable
       turns your stomach.
       >Fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck!
       >”Soon, Cleveland will be the site of the World’s First
       Inter-Species Amusement Park, aptly named ‘Spaghetti Park’,
       where both Humans and Fluffy Ponies will be able to play and
       relax in complete safety.” Some ugly silicon-enhanced bitch was
       saying, waving a hand to what looks like a scaled-down version
       of Disney Land, where guys in neon-yellow vests are struggling
       to assemble what looks like midget-version carousels and
       roller-coasters.
       >”The Mayor, Hamon McPhisten, has claimed that the Park, plagued
       by under-funding and scandals, will provide Cleveland with a
       much needed boost in tourism to help offset the economic
       problems currently plaguing the country, and create up to two
       hundred jobs once finished.”
       >And I’m the fucking Queen of England. You scoff mentally and
       turn back to your magazine. Fuck it, this article on how sex can
       make your pimples go away is more interesting than this shit.
       >Fluffies stare in awe, the delicious mash tumbling out of their
       mouths as they listen to the Nice Lady.
       >”...due to rigorous demands of the Fluffy Ponies, turf-farms
       have been brought online in the outlying industrial districts of
       Cleveland to produce new turf on a bi-weekly basis to ensure
       that at no point will the park become overgrazed, and I’m told
       that towards the end of the month the Spaghetti Park will be
       open for business, capable of holding a capacity crowd of Ten
       thousand Fluffy Ponies per day....”
       >”Sk-sk-sketti wand!” One whispers, its eyes going wide with
       wonder.
       >”Daddy take Fwuffie dere, mus’ take Fwuffie dere!” Another
       cheers happily, bouncing up and down on its tush.
       >”....and the contractors have denied us access to the
       underground mechanisms of the Park, but according to information
       gained via the Freedom of Information act, the entire Park’s
       needs will be met by a direct line to the nearby  Power Plant,
       giving an effectively unlimited amount of power to the Park.”
       The Nice Lady continued, gesturing to a magic picture that
       displayed a complicated looking machine.
       >Fluffies poke friends who are busy gorging themselves on Mash,
       telling them to watch the Nice Lady, that she is talking about a
       magical place called ‘Sketti Pawk’
       “...and this is one of the latest pieces of technology developed
       for the Park, an Automated Spaghetti Producing Unit, capable of
       holding, cooking and serving enough spaghetti to feed thirty
       people, or ninety Fluffy Ponies, in under 2 minutes, with the
       underground mechanisms capable of refilling its stock within
       five minutes....”
       >Fluffies damn near riot in delight, jumping to their feet and
       hugging each other, spilling mouthfuls of slobbery Mash down
       each other’s chests.
       >”SKETTI-PAWK! SKETTI-WAND! SKETTI-PAWK! SKETTI-WAND!
       SKETTI-PAWK!” They cheer, hearts full of joy.
       >More Spaghetti than they could possibly eat.
       >Toys and rides built especially for them.
       >Soft, green grass to play on all day.
       >They must get their owners to take them there!
       >”Awwww, did you miss me, sweety?” Your Hooman coos, tickling
       your chin with his finger.
       >Hooman’s skin has turned a dark colour. Strange. But he’s still
       your Hooman, and you love him.
       >”Miss yuu much, Daddy!” You reply, hugging his hand tightly.
       “Fwuffie haf soooo much funnehs, moar fwiends dan can count,
       dewicious nummehs!”
       >”That’s good. I’m glad you enjoyed your holiday, sweety.” Your
       Hooman smiles.
       >Everything is right with the world!
       >.......
       >Oh, wait!
       >”Daddy! Daddy! Fwuffie heard of Nice Pwace fo’ Fwuffies an’
       Hoomans!” You say as your Hooman starts to tuck you into the
       Driving Places Seat, his fingers working their magic on the
       un-fun clips that hold you in place.
       >”Oh? Where’s that?” Your Hooman asks, fiddling with the clip.
       “Dammit ... stupid thing won’t stay shut!”
       >”Daddy, saw on tewwie! Nice Wady in ‘Cveave-wand’ say Nice
       Hoomans makin’ pwace cawed ‘Sketti Pawk’ fo’ Fwuffies an’
       Hoomans!” You laugh, wiggling in your seat excitedly. Hate the
       Un-Fun Clips, but it’s so much fun to see everything whizzing
       past you!
       >”Cleveland? Oh, oh, yeah, I heard about that. So, you want to
       go to ‘Sketti Pawk’ huh?” Your Hooman laughs and pats you on the
       head. “Well, I don’t know ....”
       >”Pweeeeease, Daddy! Fwuffy wan see Sketti Pawk, wan pway wit’
       Moar Fwuffies, wide twains, pway with bawws!” You beg, giving
       him your cutest look. That sometimes works ....
       >”Well ... alright, but you do realise, you can’t go alone.” He
       says, grinning.
       >”Huwway, Daddy come haf How-wee-day wit Fwuffie?” You gasp,
       holding your hooves to your face in shock. Daddy goes away a
       lot, makes you so sad.
       >”Daddy and ... your new Friends!” He laughs, and whistles!
       >”We come out now?” A small voice asks hesitantly.
       >No .... he couldn’t have .....
       >Five more Fluffies crawl out from under a blanket on the back
       seat, ears perked up, smiling at you.
       >”HUWWAY!” You cheer, clapping your hooves together. “Fwuffie
       haf fwiends at home too!”
       >”And guess what, I have seven tickets to ..... SKETTI PARK!”
       Your Hooman laughs, pulling out long golden paper things.
       >THIS.
       >IS.
       >THE.
       >BEST.

       It's a good, cute story, but I would say it has too many overt
       references for it to be posted now. We don't want to make it
       absolutely clear that the fluffies are going to Cleveland until
       a few days before Phase 2.
