[Naturally, in the wave of vanishing babies, there's going to be some tears. Naturally, the pony who loves animals and children is going to have a lot of tears

[Zim is marching by, holding what looks like a bunch of bees in a clear canister of some kind. THIS IS NOT NEFARIOUS AT ALL, OKAY. It's normal. PERFECTLY NORMAL.

Although he's going to stop when he sees Fluttershy. Gross. So. Gross.

He's walking closer for a better look!]

I knew mutant experiments were going on here! [NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT HE'S ALREADY MET RAINBOW DASH. Also he doesn't look impressed.] - But THIS is all they could come up with?! PITIFUL!

[she blinks back a few tears, because... what are you. and what do you want.]

Huh...?

1/2

[sodoomed]

[Oh it talks.]

[sodoomed]

[UN. IM. PRESSIVE.

Zim gives Fluttershy a scrutinizing look. At least he can get answers?]

YOU. WHO MADE YOU?

[3_butterflies]

[She shrinks back, now definitely frightened.]

U-Um... my mom and dad...?

1/2

[sodoomed]

['Mom' and 'Dad'? Zim's vast knowledge of the disgusting human species means that he knows that's what earth children call their parents!

SO CLEARLY THIS HIDEOUS MUTANT WAS MADE BY HUMANS.]

HAH! The inferior HUMAN WORMS can't even create a real threat! This thing is PITIFUL!

[sodoomed]

[And then Zim goes back to... not talking to himself....]

So what kind of non-DOOM-y things can you do? Huh?

[3_butterflies]

[She sniffles, trying to wipe her face.]

I... can fly...?

[sodoomed]

That's it?

[3_butterflies]

I'm good with animals...?

[sodoomed]

[Normally he'd think that was a stupid thing not even worth mentioning, but these bees....

He holds up the canister! The bees are just kinda buzzing around in there like bees tend to do.]

Does that include filthy Earth insects?

[3_butterflies]

[She blinks, and then tries to address the bees. she's actually calmer talking to them than to you.]

Oh, hello there... It's nice to meet you all... Please tell your queen I said hello...

[sodoomed]

[The bees all buzz over to Fluttershy - at least, as close as they can get while in the canister, and start buzzing back at her happily. She's so nice!]

Eh?

[No. Way. SOMEONE WHO CAN CONTROL THE DEATH BEES? THE BEES OF DEATH?]

[3_butterflies]

My name is Fluttershy... I'm sorry I'm not the best company right now, but... Maybe we can play and talk again sometime...

[sodoomed]

[The bees buzz back! And want to know why she's sad D:]

...!

[Meanwhile, a hideous, heinous plan of DOOM is forming in Zim's head....]

[3_butterflies]

[She sighs.]

Well... Someone I was taking care of is gone... She's probably better off where she is now, but... I just wish I could have said goodbye...
