Pony should always pony pony, yes.

Beautiful art. How come Anon always seems to appear in the Everfree Forest, anyway?

Posting family for good luck.

>Five griffons lick their claws on a bloodsoaked battlefield. The largest one, a female, sags as she tries washing herself. More blood comes out.

>Another generic female gesticulates sympathetically. "We ALL suffer, captain- but as mercenaries we just can't afford to blunt our talons!"

>Several sealab zombies form a boarding party and have to be shot off of your car. Three go-karters aren't so lucky, as they're thrown from their karts and their karts driven into the walls.
>You break out of the tunnel. Before you, an elegant brick road city drenched in the moist southern heat you once knew so well.

>In the mirrors- yep. None of the sailors are trying to fix the relatively minor damage. They're just taking turns strangling the captain.

>Alright
>You didn't get this far by not trusting her
>[OH, WHAT'S THIS? THE REMNANT HAS VEERED DOWN A SIDE STREET? INTERESTING.]
"Trixie-"

>And there's Pelinal roaring straight through the crowd! He somehow misses every single one of them, but smashes through an abandoned building. It's a bold strategy, but will the added maintenance later on be worth the time saved? Can we get a camera down there? Uh huh? YES, yes we can!
>"Yak ALWAYS smash! Yak just smash PUNY AIR MOLECULES instead of pony! Better optics and score that way!"
>A torpedo rips through the ground, blasting a tire off of The Mean Machine! The Subway Slammer is back in the race with a new captain! All hail Captain Quinn!

I learned about the perspective tool today. Also I learned that I have no clue how to draw top down ponies. Anon mare woke up in a forgotten wing of the castle

>[IT SURE IS PAYING OFF, PINKIE! THEY'RE ALREADY TO THE EAST GATE!]
>They've got a straight shot through the bayou, if that wagon can handle the Gumbo's famous dirty rice mud!
>[THOSE HUGE TIRES AND RAISED AXELS WILL BE A HUGE BENEFIT- BUT FOR HOW LONG? IT'S JUST LIKE WITH THE HERBERT MOON!]
>Jabberjaw and Pinkie say the same thing at the same time- IS CLEANING THAT GUNK GONNA EAT MORE TIME THAN IT SAVED?


>We return to your regularly-experienced Anonmare
>Remmie rocks, yaws and rolls as you surge through the swamp. Your little trackball compass points northeast and the main road is in sight.
"Trixie, while we got a sec-"
>>"We're fine. It's Party Gras. We're maybe a half hour behind, tops. Going even as fast as we are now, through the festival?"
"...Hehehehe we're gonna win on a score technicality... Weird that we weren't foll-"
>Bon Bon screams. "PORT! PORT! UH LEFT THAT IS GO LEEEEFT!"
>No time to argue. You veer hard to the left and something scraps against the right doors.
>Your peripherals catch some kind of well-camouflaged trap. Outside, on the right, at about eye level-
>It was a camouflaged tree with a thin rope tied taut. Bon Bon just saved you from being clotheslined.
"Good catch! Ok, keep an eye out for one of those portals. Wanna clear the mud out before it becomes a problem."
>>"Uh, Anon, are you sure?"
"Babe, Rem's tough as hell, but this is an endurance race. Minutes with a pressure washer now saves us hours of having to replace parts later."
>>"Right... right."
"We got this. Don't worry."
>"THERE! County line, I saw something yellow and unnatural! Makes my eyes hurt, it must be-"

>Twilight and Co. (minus Spike, Pinkie and Anon; plus the CMCs) were sitting on a couch, watching real time events play out like a movie
>Suddenly a klaxon rings out, the room flashes red, and Remmie blasts into the pocket dimension.
>Anon immediately leaps out, running for the toolbox and grabbing wrenches while Bon Bon searches for... something
>When she doesn't find what she's looking for, she grabs Rainbow Dash, uses her to grab a cloud out of a drawer, and starts stuffing the cloud into the engine and scrubbing like it's a giant q-tip before grabbing another cloud and scrubbing Remmie's underside. Every movement makes Dash's mane less of a mane and more of a clown wig.
>Trixie reloads the firearms on board while Anon rotates the tires with her magic and a big power tool.
>Finally, some kind of lewd-looking hose is pulled off the wall and stuck in Remmie's left rear.
>In about 4 minutes the vehicle is sparkling new, minus a scratch on the right front door. Anon takes Twilight's coffee, chugs it, and drives off without a word.
>Rainbow Dash's muzzle fights its way out of her incredibly frizzy afro. "Well. I NEVER!"

>[AND ANON REJOINS THE RACE RIGHT OUTSIDE BALTIMARE. HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS, FOLKS!]
>Oooh that darn dastardly dick Dick Dastardly! He's not even being interesting, it's just 'oh, go and set up more clothesline traps Muttley!'
>>
>>43243134
Yeah I had a little trouble telling which end of that mare was which, but it's still leagues better than anything I could draw!

>>43243134
Feels like a lonely place to wake up. Beautiful but lonely. Where does she go from here?

Oh yeah, the wacky race is the last arc (I mean it this time) and then I can just update the paste

>[LOOK, DON'T KNOCK THE CLASSICS OK? DICK'S A PRO, HE CHEATS FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME! WHY, HE'D RATHER CHEAT AND LOSE DISHONESTLY THAN WIN BY DRIVING SKILL ALONE!]
>

>
>[NYUCK NYUCK NYUCK, YOU TRIED TO TELL HER NOT TO WORRY ABOUT HIM DIDN'T YA? YEAH THAT'S WHY YOU'RE UP HERE WITH ME.]
>Yeah fair enough. Oooh, irrelevant now anyway! Can we replay that?
>[YEP- PLAY IT BACK!]
>Okay, so Anon and Dick are going along the beach- probably to avoid the famous Baltimare 1am Taco Rush traffic-
>[AND WE CAN SEE MUTTLY'S TURNED THE SUPPORTS UNDER THIS PIER, RIGHT HERE, INTO A TROPICAL JUNGLE OF ROPES AND SPIKE TRAPS!]
>Dick TRIES tailgating The Remnant- right there, he almost pit maneuvered her into a pirate spiderweb-
>[WHICH GETS THE LONG NOSE OF THE MEAN MACHINE WEDGED BETWEEN HER BACK WHEELS-]
>And Anon spins into a 360 degree donut, sending The Mean Machine careening into that rope- and then that rope- and then that rope- and, well- in a turn of events I can only describe as pinballicious, those ropes have flung him up and up and up onto the boardwalk by way of a food cart umbrella, and right into a tree!
>[HE ALMOST RECOVERED WHEN HE LANDED ON THAT BIG TREE, BENT IT OVER GENTLY AND HAD HIS WHEELS ON THE GROUND-]
>But the tree decided to snap straight up again, flinging Dick Dastardly and the Mean Machine up to the top of the old abandoned ferris wheel!
>[SHAME ABOUT THAT POOR HOTDOG STAND. HEY, DON'T POUT AT ME, DICK- YOUR CAR'S STILL WORKING!
>Jabberjaw was right- I do love to hate this guy! Aw!

>>You barely recover from a laughing fit, coming back to the sight of Trixie nervously steering over your lap
"Ahaaaaalright I'm good i'm good-I-"
>The lack of sand in your wake and rattle in your wheels suggests you're back on the road again, fish taco fanatics safely in the rearview mirror
>Ah, Baltimare
>You've heard of this place. Of its big lakeside beach resort and old-timey fishermare's wharf. Weird combo but the fish tacos don't lie.
>Ayup, cobblestone road fore and aft. Cute little seaside town buildings rolling by on your right. Bigass lake with fishing trawlers on your left. Some kind of bugs bunny gizmo digging a molehill towards you-
>MOVING MOLEHILL!?
>SWERVE, BITCH, SWERVE!
>A land torpedo erupts underground, just barely avoiding you. You spin out into a dead stop while the Subway Slammer peals out of an alleyway and leaves you in its wake.
>Bon Bon aims her gun out the window, managing to damage... something? With any luck she just made it unsafe to launch a rear torpedo, but who knows?
>>"Easy, just take it easy, there's no way they don't have hours of collateral debt- pretty sure a friggin pensioner got caught in that blast alone."
"It's the cheek of it! The fuckin- AUGH."
>Remmie trundles along, picking up speed. Baltimare sinks below the rear horizon.

>>43243263
>Coming up on some bumfuck nowhere town now
>Sign says Bumbuck Noelle
>It's been quiet
>Suspiciously quiet, for the last hour
>>"We've got incoming! Two unicorns in barbershop outfits!"
>Yep, there it is
>The car shakes as they bump into your left
>Aaaand
>Is that it?
>>"I think they wanna talk?"
>Okay? Why not
>Roll the window down
>"Hello madam, we've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty!"
>Trixie silently aims at their tires, popping one and sending them careening into a ditch
"Well now my ears hurt, but at least those guys are gone!"

>[WE'RE COMING UP TO PONYVILLE NOW! ALL THE RACERS ARE CONVERGING!]
>Normally Ponyville would be a pretty chill place at 4am, but with all the sinkholes and gunk everywhere-
>[YEAH, THAT'S MY BAD]
>Hey, at least it makes for a more interesting course! The way I see it, everypony is gonna come through Ponyville, but there's three ways to do it: the tunnels, the town itself, or the farms.]
>[EACH ONE HAS FEWER PEDESTRIANS THAN THE LAST, BUT IS A LONGER ROUTE TOO.]

>>>"ANON WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
>>"NOT THE TUNNELS! WE DON'T NEED TO SHAVE TIME-"
"That fuckin' submarine is going in there, they must know something we don't! Besides, I got a sick feeling we got dinged on a technicality!"
>The thing the submariners knew turned out to be 'we have torpedoes that blast new holes.'
>They kind of just... vanished after the orphanage fell into a sinkhole.
>[EXCESSIVE COLLATERAL DAMAGE! DISQUALIFIED! SERIOUSLY, THERE'S LIKE A MONTH WORTH OF DEBT THERE. REPEAT HITS COUNT!]
>You narrowly avoid it by way of the blast knocking your wheels off, prompting a lucky extraction just inches away from the crowd
>Scootaloo is already rolling new tires over when you pop into the garage. Rainbow Dash slaps Bon Bon and gets to cleaning. "Every time you smacked me into the car without me actually doing anything counted as a hit!"
"I TOLD YOU, BON BON! Also what the fuck!?"
>>"LESS BITCHING MORE FIXING!"

>The portal reopens, past the unnavigable beehive of new holes in Ponyville
>All the racers pour out- turns out they ALL got rattled apart by those torpedoes
>The race through the valley goes largely uneventful, save for you constantly bumping the carjacker into a tree every time he respawned
"HA HA HA HA GET FUCKED!"
>>"Anon..."
"What? He's already undead, I can't kill him anyway!"

>[THEY'RE ROUNDING UP MOUNT CANTERHORN NOW! THE FINAL STRETCH, THE BIG MONEY!]
>'wait, where's Dick Dastardly?'
>Scene: Baltimare. "I'M STILL STUCK ON THE FERRIS WHEEL! MUTTLEY, DO SOMETHING!"
>Scene: Baltimare taco shop. Muttley snickers into his 5am crab taco, a local tradition.
>[ANYWAY, WE MIGHT HAVE AN EARLY WINNER!]
>'GAAAASP WHAT!?'
>[OH YEAH. PELINAL WHITEYAK ENTERED THE CITY LIKE 4 HOURS AGO. DUDE'S CRAZY FAST AND HE'S ONLY HIT 2 PROSTITUTES AND AN OFF-DUTY COP SO FAR!]
>'Oh crud this is awful! Mayor Mare is counting on us!'
>[IT AIN'T OVER YET- I DUNNO WHY BUT HE HASN'T CROSSED THE FINISH LINE YET. LET'S SEE-]

>The camera moves to the inside of Canterlot's treasury, where a very large yak is smashing everything. He shows no intention of stopping.
>[WELL, AS LONG AS HE'S HAPPY. OKAY-]

>>>"ANON LOOK OUT!"
>Too late. You careen through Fancy Pants's garden party, taking Fleur de Lis for a ride.
>Shit- that's gonna cost you!
>Wait
>Trixie is pointing to-
>Oh ho?
>With careful maneuvering, you launch her into a cafe where she ends up replacing a buffalo girl on a date with a yak, right as he closes his eyes for the kiss.

>Shit

>
>>>"Sorry. If you're waiting for me to tell you about a secret passage, there are none. At least none big enough to fit."

>It's down to three cars.
>The twins, the carjacker and Anon
>All of them pull into Canterlot's garden, and thus commences the BULLET HELL STAGE!
>Wave after wave of guards in strange and hard to dodge formations pour at everyone
>There's even some Touhou-lookin asshole officer pulling cards and screaming shit like "NUCLEAR PINCER ATTACK SPELL GO!"
>It's hell. A bullet hell. Ha.
>[UNFUNNY DAMNATION! ONE HOUR PENALTY!]
>Dammit

>The palace gates
>Unguarded. Probably because they sent all the guards at you already.
>Still sealed, though.

Abubeebubebububebbbbb that's all folks!

I know the last part was a bit rushed, in my defense I needed to finish it before going on a trip next week. I won't have access to a machine with a keyboard and I ain't typing a green up on a touchscreen. Gonna put the entire green on the paste right after posting this.
I will likely be quiet or silent the next week, try not to let the thread die, and don't worry- I wasn't kidding when I said I had to stop myself from starting other stories.
I like my take on Anon as both an isekai protagonist and seventh element bearer- a lot more than I expected to when I started writing a dirty fat bitch with sexual insecurities. There'll be more greens, likely based on canon episodes, and hopefully shorter and more coherent compared to this meandering odyssey of bad luck. At some point I'll probably rewrite this, as others have suggested in previous threads, so it's less rambly, has more foreshadowing for later bullshit and is easier to follow (especially for the earlier parts, I feel like my action writing has gotten better over the course of this).

PS: I can't decide if Celestia is a former human or not, but I kinda like the idea of her being a former little girl and that's why she blindly followed the show's narrative until Luna up and left. Dunno.

Bravo. From a few sentences in a random shitpost to 130k word epic(-ish) story. Things like this is one of the reasons why I keep lurking this board.
I dig your interpretation of Anonmare and how she played off Trixie. Brilliant comedy, lots of cool references, long autistic descriptions of magical baths, diving equipment, magic theory, SCP anomalies, old cartoon deities and other nerdy stuff. I'm proud of you for taking this pretty long green to a conclusion and accepting feedback in the middle. It's not perfect, there still were some incoherent moments, also a few sections felt like the story was dragging and not really going anywhere for a long while. Like you say - it could use a rewrite, but for an internet shitpost standards I'd say this was some fucking quality writing. I really hope to read more of your stuff someday. Cheers.
Also seeing my pic in last OP made my day each time I scrolled past it in the catalogue
In the meantime, again humbly requesting https://ponepaste.org/11461 to continue. I know you're reading this Anon, get your ass in here, we need some romance drama to balance off the amount of action adventure we've just ingested.

>The bathroom now contained two awkward horses.
>One wet, the other recovering from the recoil of a statement he didn't know how to react to.
>Anonmare had been about to brush it all off and get comfortable, but stopped as her sleepy brain caught up to her.
>They stared at each other in silence for a second.
>Why did she have to say that.
>This was not the one-up Anonmare had been hoping for.
>It was very effective, yes. She completely shut Anon down. He was too easy now that she knew this was his weakness.
>But he should at least be mad or something.
>"You don't actually want me to-"
"No!"
>The water in the tub sloshed slightly from the way she jumped in her own skin.
>Disproportionate response. Calm the fuck down. You're supposed to be relaxed.
>Anonstallion recovered first.
>There was a soft wooden thunk as he unfastened the brush from his hoof and dumped it in the bucket. A small shove and it was out of the way.
>The thought he might have actually considered what she said made her soaked coat bristle.
>"...That's definitely enough for tonight. Do you... need anything else before I go?"
>Just like that the awkward moment fizzled.
>He sounded normal, like he was just accepting that this was how today was going to end.
>Anonmare slumped and laid back against the head of the tub, welcoming his discretion with a breath of relief.
"I'm good, just forget I said anything."
>Anonstallion got up on his hooves and looked down at her laying there, her cheeks still feeling warmer than she would have liked.
>"Don't worry about it Nonny."
>She kicked her hind legs a bit, sending small waves bouncing back and forth along the foamy water surface.
>Turning her head away, she caught the motion of him starting to move from the corner of her eye.
>Damnit.
"Wait. You can stay while I soak."
>What is wrong with you just let him go please you do not have to be this clingy right now.
"If you want."

Fuck it we're continuing. After this many months, I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I've still got the rough plan for the direction I'm supposed to be going. I actually tried to continue this part at least twice before but didn't like the drafts I ended up with. At this point I think I just gotta get through it. Extra big thanks to OP for the epic work sustaining the thread with his green. Enjoy your trip friend.

>He looked back and hesitated.
>There were different ways she could have framed that, other than as a request thinly veiled as a suggestion.
>No question he was going to keep her company longer. If he said no then-
>Suddenly, he stuck his face into the cabinet where they kept the fresh towels and dragged one out.
"Uh?"
>She watched as he approached surprisingly briskly with the fluffy white implement hanging from his mouth.
>Normally when you ask somepony to stick around, assaulting you with a towel is not the expected reaction.
>That's not what happened though.
>As soon as he was seated on the floor outside the tub behind her, he rolled up the towel and tucked it under her head.
>"Better?"
>It was.
>Anonmare had to lean her head back to look at him.
>The cushioning was actually welcome. She'd need to remember that in future. Maybe see if she could get a bath cushion or something.
"Thanks."
>Anonstallion gingerly tucked his forelegs around her, lending even more support to her head.
>"Is this okay?"
>The faggot was cuddling her.
>Well, she did ask him to stay. It was admittedly less uncomfortable than having him sit beside her fidgetting or something.
>Comfy.
>"Nonny?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. This is fine."
>Warm, brushed and cuddled.
>Loved.
>Too tired to argue.
>Anon was staring at her upside-down, right there, a breath away, looking happy.

>Third hug in one day.

>Anonmare slid a wet hoof against Anon's foreleg.
>He was starting to brush at a damp tuft on her chest, fluffing it and smoothing it down.
>Probably not even aware he was doing it.
"We're officially friends, I mean. Instead of just boss and mare."
>There was a quiet pause.
>Peering upwards, she couldn't see his face, but she could tell he was thinking about it.
>"Hey Nonny? We're still friends even though we're getting together, right?"
>He said that like they hadn't been together since the moment they arrived in Equestria.
>Physically speaking, then as a team, then housemates and friends.
>But... yeah, that's the question she's been asking herself.
>Anonstallion was probably wondering why she was declaring her new friendship on the same day he had confessed his feelings to her.
"I don't know. We're more than friends now Anon. Technically."
>"But we're still going to do stuff as usual, aren't we? I know tonight isn't usual, but-"
>Anon was actually the same as her.
>The fucker didn't want to lose it either.
>There was something liberating about that.
"If you keep telling me I'm beautiful and how much you love me, it's not really going to be the same-"
>"Okay but you see, I- err.."
"You can't help it. You're a mare lover."

"Mm.. what were you going to say?"
>Though the motion of the drying, the patting of her chest and the fluffing down of her front legs occupied most of Mr Anon's focus, she managed to get a sheepish response back from him.
>"I was going to say.. you should drain the tub before stepping out."
>She closed her eyes and lifted her front left and front right hooves in turn as he moved the towel over them.
"Oh."
>Son of a bitch, he's right.
>Next time. Don't care right now.
>Anonmare turned in place as her front was finished with, giving Anonstallion access to her left side and the enigmatic black question mark emblazoned on her flank.

>They both looked away from one another.
>This was the most he'd ever explored her physically, not that it was weird or anything.
>He's just drying you.
>In fact he was being very polite about patting her rump and trying to get as much of the damp out of her tail as possible.
>It was also clear he was getting more and more careful about what he was doing.
>'Mare herself felt a tingle in the back of her mind, an instinct that told her she could buck and kick the shit out of him at a moment's notice, IF she wanted to.
>As soon as her left side was done she turned around one-eighty and lifted her final leg for him to run the towel over with that same light rubbing motion.
>"T-There we go, nice and dry."
>He plopped the towel down and got up, backing away towards the door, face crimson.
>"I'll.. wait for you outside."
>She stood there for a moment, her coat thoroughly fluffed up, yet incredibly aware that certain parts of her anatomy were still damp.

"Night buddy."

>Clip
>Clop
>The doorknob rattles. Accursed light upon thee, as a hazy blue face comes into view. "Er-"
"Good morning to you too." You squeak out with somehow LESS venom than intended.
>Trixie squees, shrinking back into the stair landing. "Er- I brought egg sandwiches?"
>Said sandwiches are levitated near you, and instantly inhaled. Down they go, never had a chance, the widowed loaves of bread will weep.


"What?" you say, as Trixie pouts more pathetically than normal. "Did you not-"
>"Trixie did not!" Her stomach growls.
"So the one time you DON'T scarf your share on the way-"
>"UGH! It's fine-" Trixie inches forward to the bed.
"It's not fine! I feel like a dick!"
>"Shhh, it was a fair assumption, mon cherie." A kiss on your forehead, a look of realization, a kiss on your lips. "Besides, my show was in demand enough for PRE-SALES! So..."
>She makes no effort to hide her pride, even as she trails off.
"Moving on up at last, eh?"
>A scoff. A friendly one, with a twinkle in Trixie's eye- "What. Do you expect me to say 'oh Anon, Trixie moved up in the world when you took her name'?"
>A shit-eating grin is given and returned. "because yes, yes she did. Now- where's your bags?"
>The fuck she talkin' about?
>You ask her as much, getting a half scowl in return. "What do you- MY SHOW?" You slowly blink as Trixie paces in seemingly genuine frustration.
>"Do you really not want to see my show, WIFE? Hast paradise already become...." She starts to trail off as a look of dawning realization, uh, dawns on her. "...so... troubled.... Right. Sorry."
>>
>>43266141
Welcome back!
>Do you really not want to see my show, WIFE?
If Anonstallion said something like that he'd be getting strangled, kek. This is kinda sweet though. Hope Trixie isn't too disappointed by her beloved.

>Before you can answer, a hot pinchy pressure feeling brings you scrambling out of your fortress.
>You damn near faceplant on the floor, but a magenta glow steadies you and helps unwrap the blankets.
>Trixie barely gets out of the way in time as you gallop to the bathroom

"Fuuuuuuuuuuck"
>You wiggle your rear a bit and step on the flush button
>Even after all this time, you still appreciate taking a leak being as easy for mares as men
>Easier, if you count not needing to fuck with pants or zippers or whatever. Least, not in normal weather.
>Before you walk out the door, you stand on your bathroom scale
>Yep
>You put on a few pounds
>Sure as hell feels like it, and now you've got numerical proof

>Trixie's voice filters through the door. "Anon? Are you alright?"
"What? Yes? Why wouldn't I be?"
>"I dunno- you were in there for... nevermind."
>The door opens by your pale green light. Trixie backs into your upstairs closet- the only way you'll have room to pass her in your tight hallway.
>Weird that she did that when she could just walk to your shared room, but whatever-
"I'm gaining weight and I dunno why, by the way."
>Your fucking gut growls and hurts. Emptiness, not diarrhea.
Still standing in the bathroom doorway, you crane your neck over and shout at your stomach: "Shut up in there! FUCK, why am I starving all the time!?"
>Right
>Food
>Food is usually stored in or near a kitchen- better get moving.
>There's a kitchen downstairs, full of numnums you can shovel into the egg and wheat mass grave you call your tract
>Just
>Gotta
>Get-
>Right as you pass the closet, Trixie's head pops out and kisses your swollen belly. "Come on- you know why."
>A tiny, barely-formed hoof poking out at its other mothers' face sends a gross shudder up your spine. Trixie laughs and coos.
"Eugh, that never doesn't feel fucking WEIRD..."
>Your face muscles are fighting. Part of you wants to scowl at the absurdity of YOU being a mother-to-be. The other part wants to walk around with a dopey, soft smile and pet your squirming belly all day and-
>FUCK. Kid isn't even here yet and she's already scrambling your brains.
>Finally downstairs. You feel a gust of magic recede from you-
"TRIXIE! I don't need-"
>"Sorry! I-" She quivers
>Fuck
>You nuzzle her cheek and let your horns tap gently, sending a slight shiver down both of you.
"No- I'm sorry, I dunno how many mares out there would be as cool with... THIS-" you sit and point at your gut, "as you."
>Trixie holds the contact a little longer, before squeezing past you into the kitchen. "I think you're wrong- we both agreed to a four-way."
>Magic rattles around your pots and pans, and you sit down with the grim acceptance that your wife is.... taking care of you.
>Eugh
>Matches are struck. Doomed food objects sizzle. Trixie glances back at you- "Besides, I'm not the one actually carrying the foal!"
"You wanna tra-"
>Thud. Creak. Thud (softer).
>>
>>43266281
Fuck off retard
>>
>>43266281
>>Derpy crashes through your kitchen window (modified to open like a doggy door) and onto a pile of pillows (embroidered, for her comfort.) "MAIL'S HERE!"
>A grey and blonde head disappear into the noneuclidean depths of a regulation Equestrian Postal Service Corps. bag
>Rustle, rustle
>Sizzle, clang, splatter, "OW! MERDE!"
>Rustle, rustle
>Trixie hangs her head in shame and tosses a burned hay-shbrown. "Damnation! Why are these so hard to get right!?"
>Rustle, rustle
"Y'know, I got plenty of potatoes and-"
>Derpy and Trixie both shout, almost in unison. "No! Potatoes can poison the young and unborn! Jinx! You owe me a-"
>"shot!"
>>"muffin!"
>Silence for a heartbeat, then laughter.
"No seriously- I ate them all the time as a filly."
>>"Yes- as a FILLY, not a baby, silly!"
>"Nor as a fetus, by proxy of absorbing them through your mother's blood supply."
>
>
>
>>"Seriously. You'd be dead."
>Oh if only they knew...
>
>Derpy's still here- why-
>Oh. Right.
"Sorry Derpy, I'm kinda short today on account of devouring anything edible within a hundred yards of me at all ti-"
>>"Oh, don't apologize. I have a daughter, I know what it does to you. Besides, it's not like I'm ENTITLED to a free muffin!"
>Derpy flashes you a warm, maternal smile, but the subtle tightness around her eyelids betrays at least a small amount of disappointment.
>Still, she's got shit to do today. Her head darts back into her bag and brings out the daily newspaper and some letters. And she's gone- out your front door, because she's not a fucking ANIMAL like Rainbow Dash.

>More sizzling and clattering dead ahead of you. Funny, watching Trixie's ass sway around while she cooks normally gets your motor going.
>Must still be in that early don't-you-dare-touch-me stage. Sad. So sad you find yourself laying your head on the table, ears drooping.
>"Oh don't worry- we suffer together, my dear! And besides-"
>Trixie turns around, trots over with a plate of competent fried hay and eggs, a devious smile on her face.
>The meal disappears almost as soon as visual contact is confirmed. For one picosecond your tummy feels pleasantly full.
>Trixie leans in to whisper, but whatever she said is drowned out by the sudden aching emptiness and growling beast inside you.
>You'd gotten decent at reading her lips, but you can't really see too well-
>Oh
>Those are tears
>Yippee you're about to cry
"FUCK I'M A FAT UGLY WRECK!"
>"No, nononono-"
"YES I AM!"
>You go back and forth like this for a while, eventually leaving you in that hiccuppy half-sobby post-cry state. There's gotta be a word for that, right?
>Ugh
>Warm
>Trixie is so warm
>"You okay, now?"
Sniff. "Yeah- morning sadness is the worst."
>"Could be worse- I've heard monkeys and minotaurs puke their guts up for the first few months."
"Heh. Yeah- they also bleed once a month whenever they're not pregnant."
>"EW! Seriously!?" She laughs and trots back to the range.
"Eh, s'what I've heard- I ain't gonna go ask. By the way, those potatoes-"
>>
>>43266365
>Yes. That's right- change the subject so she doesn't notice you clam up.
>Reaching for the newspaper, you silently thank God yet again for at least not making you a woman
"Whaddawe got here-"
>Trixie cranes her head back at you, a disappointed grimace framed in blued steel. "Anon- the potatoes? Seriously- they'll mess the baby up. Not in an abortion drug way, but in a 'you'll give birth to a full-sized baby with no organs' way."
"I know! The doctor already told me all this, I just... want it to be wrong."
>Trixie's head turns round, eyebrow raised. "Then stop it!" she says with a sigh.
You almost shout back at her- "No- that's not- UGH. Use them before they go bad, ok! Hell, take a few with you! Take 'em all so I'm not tempted, even! Go on!"
>Realizing a little too late that your emotions got the best of you, you cover your face and try sinking into your cushion.
>Trixie goes stock straight at your outburst. An uncomfortable pause. A deep breath. "Ooohhhhhhhh. Right. Good idea- for right now. Going to be staying with mother, she can't stand spuds."
>Crap
"Alright, then- fuck I dunno, can you give 'em to Spike? That's on the way to the train station."
>Her shoulders sag a bit. "Oh, Remmie is still-"
"Nothing serious- there's a wobble in the front wheels and the steering sticks. Plus I wanna give her a full once-over before I even think of long-distance shenanigans, but, y'know-" you pat your belly for emphasis.
>"Riiiight." Her ears droop, ever so slightly.
"Trix, you know you're the only mare I trust to drive her- hell, you're the only mare SHE trusts besides me. She can probably handle a short trip to town, get your..."
>Her ear flicks. Much less subtly.
You slow down, carefully enunciating: "Magic Paraphernalia onto the train." Nailed it.
>"I know! It's just inconvenient! Conveniently inconvenient!"
"Careful there, that's something Pinkie might say..." You trill, with a shit-eating grin.
>Trixie's pout is worth all the crap this morning.


>The morning trudges on.
>Trixie finishes making her eggs and fries a few potatoes.
>You stare at her with your biggest, wettest eyes ever but the bitch has a heart of stone.
>"Somehow I think making and eating this in front of you was a bad idea-HEY!"
>You pout like a schoolfilly at an expensive doll as your attempted fry theft is intercepted.
"Aw come on! Just one!"
>"One might be safe, but it won't be just one, now will it!?"
>Trixie channels her swamp raccoon totem spirit, scarfing the remaining taters with near-Pinkielike speed. "There! Now I'm taking these temptations to where they will harm none but Twilight!"
>And out the door she goes
>
>
>Leaving you with some dirty plates. It's not a big deal- your magic makes them clean in 30 seconds without even leaving your seat.
>The pans are another thing.
>One has egg on it that's been allowed to cool (fuck)
>The other is a sooty mess of burnt hay (double fuck)
>You shrug and levitate them into the sink to soak.
>That just leaves the mail.

>The letters are on top of the newspaper. Might as well do them first-
>Let's see now-
>Shit. Top of the pile is big, bold, red letters. Props to Derpy for her sorting skill?
>You pick it up. It crinkles- plastic window in the envelope. Somewhat ritzy for Equestria- this can't be good.
"DANGER- YOUR FOAL'S LIFE MAY DEPEND-"
>Squint
"Oh what the fuck? Redheart, why are you-"
>Iron horseshoes crash against wood, and your kitchen becomes slightly brighter as Trixie storms back in.
>The fright sends you teetering off your haunches, mail still gripped in your hooves.
>"WHO WHAT WHERE- oh. It's one of those." She says as she sets you upright with her magic. "I ought to go down there and-"
"Babe, relax. I don't like the wording either but-"
>"No! It's the principle of the thing!"
>Trixie trails into indignant muttering as she paces in and out of the house, hauling stuff to the car
>Sigh
>Here we go

>Trixie walks down the stairs, a box of empty alchemical spheres on her back
"Yes, it's shifty as fuck for her to write it like that-"
>Door open. Cute ass go out. Door close.
>Back to the mail. You set the URGENT REMINDERS for MAGIC TESTS and NEW PARENT TRAINING aside-
>Utility bill's next- with a contractor discount?? Thanks Mooriel! You'll pay that in town today.

>Door open. Scowling face come in. Door close.
"-But I really should take the classes. They're already sure it's a unicorn and-"
>Cute ass stomps into the downstairs storage area formerly known as your living room
>Okay, next on the pile- spam mail. Spam mail. More spam- again with the fucking extended warranty?
>Cute face emerges from the cardboard jungle with some of those trick hanky chains and rings on her neck
"-Look, I got no experience with baby unicorns besides knowing they'll teleport at random-"

>Door open. Blued steel tail swishes on the way out. Door close.
>Ok- that's the spam pile done. Next is... an invitation from Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns?
>Uh
>Wow
>Okay-
>Door open. Great and Powerful saunters back in. Door close.
"Hey, time out-"
>Trixie pauses mid-stride right next to you
"We got an invitation from Celestia's school. Addressed to-"
>Squint
"The future heir or heiress to Madames Lulamoon."
>You glance up from the letter, watching Trixie carefully
>The corners of her eyes and mouth twitch as her emotions are no doubt roiling beneath her practiced stage mask
>Finally, she returns to her scowl. "Wow, it's like medical privacy isn't even a thing!"
>
>
"RIGHT? Everypony who knows about our kid-"
>"Knows you got knocked up by a pegasus! Who else knows besides us and the doctors?"
"Honestly? I don't know! The other bearers still think I'm just getting fat from lazing around!"
>Trixie stares back in disbelief. "Anon, you really need to-"
"I KNOW! It's just... kinda funny to me, ok? I wanna see how long I can keep 'em in the dark."
>She stares
>Stares.
>Stare. Sigh.
>"Anon- I was going to demand you take a picture when the charade finally falls apart!"

>Alright
>That got a real laugh going out of the both of you
>When it finally subsides, a short but awkward silence hangs.
"Er-"
>"So-"
"Back to it, then?"
>"Yep." Her face instantly twists back into a mild scowl and she swears up a storm headed straight for your booze cellar.
>You set the invitation and medical... reminders? aside. You'll deal with that later, once the indignity of someone blabbing about or pulling your medical records subsides.
"Don't need to be boiling our blood this early in the morning, right?" you say while caressing your stomach.


>Back to the stack.
>Tax statements, most of them zero because you technically are part of the government. Sometimes. Kind of. Look, you're not going to rock the boat on that by sticking your nose in it.
>You do voluntarily pay into the basic medical fund because, come on, you're not THAT cheap.
>...Might also end up with a big enough house for property taxes. Gonna need at least one extra room now- AJ can help with that, but- fuck, not to mention-
>You can't leave guns lying around! Hell, half of Trixie's magic props could probably hurt a foal! fuckfuckfuck-
>The clattering of boards on the basement stairs derails your doom spiral. Trixie rolls a barrel of ethanol up, with extra swears and grunts.
>Once it's on the ground floor, she climbs up and rides it out like a clown on a big ball. "Car's hungry."
"Oh- yeah. Uh, the more I think about it, the more I really want that class too. Like- this house is barely even ME proof, and we're adding a baby to it??"
>Door go swingy swingy, mare go outy outy

>Well, that's all the letters.
>Except the two you haven't read in detail yet- but let's wait until Trixie's-
>"Need you to leave, I don't want to drag fireworks through here with you-"
"Trixie, if they're stable enough to keep IN OUR HOUSE they're stable enough to be in front of my occupied uterus for five seconds. Goddamn."
>She scowls, cherry red, and storms off in a huff.
>Comes back a moment later with a big box full of Fun
"Yes, it IS pretty hot that you're being so protective but like- cool it just a bit? Ok?"
>Ah fuck, she's back to stomping around right when it seemed like she'd worked through it.
>Oh well- let's read the paper.
>>"SILPHIUM BLIGHT FINALLY SOLVED. Drug supply will be restored within the week- citizens cheer for a return to traditional promiscuity!"
You glance downwards. "Heh, you got nothing to worry about. Momma's already got stockholm syndrome, yes she does yes she- OOF"
>The brat kicks and thrashes at your condescension, inducing some kind of energy surge. Felt like a static shock inside your guts.
"Ah ya little bastard, I said I WASN'T getting rid of you! Whaddaya want from me!?"
>As soon as the words leave your mouth, it happens. Your vision pulses. Images flash within your mind's eye, bringing an almost demonic pain and hunger.
>The ice cream.
>It's in the freezer.

"Don't judge me! What were you-"
>"I put the empty barrel out by the still. Seriously-" she takes a long, hard look at your boxes, your now-sticky hair, the baby dancing a samba inside you. "You SURE you're good? I CAN cancel for your sake, you know."
"NOPE! I mean yep, I'm good."
>"Uh huh..." She wets a rag for you on her way to her larger props.

"Anyway- feel free to yell at Redheart but I'm getting those tests, that's final."
>More rattling in the abyss of boxes. Trixie calls out- "Well NO DUH!"
>Oh for-
"Well if you know it's the best thing, why are we fighting!?"
>Trixie's head pops out of a box, packing peanuts stuck in her mane and a look of utter bewilderment on her face. "We are?"
>Tchhk-
>Hnnng
>Deep breath
>Plant your forehooves so you're sitting properly
>And another deep breath-
>Okay
"Are we not? Why are you running around making me talk one sentence at a time!?"
>"I HAVE TO PACK! Sheesh! I'm sorry, I wasn't aware this was the one time you weren't okay with us running around and multitasking!"

"But- you got all pissy right when-"
>"OKAY! Yes, I took Redheart's scare tactics a little too personally. That was probably what set me off in- ugh. No. Well- yes, but it's not-"
"Trixie?"
>She shrinks into her box.
>Great. Now you gotta-
>Her voice comes out right beside you. "You don't know- that is, you're- uh-"
>Your neck creaks like a rusty anchor as you face her, her head poking out of what used to be your silverware drawer. "Ta.. da?"
"Trixie. I need you to do two things right now-"
>"Yes?"
"One: don't fucking startle me like that, my blood pressure is already nuts enough."
>"Sorry- I really needed to test that prop."
"Two: tell me what's really going on."
>

"Ok, we've done this before, just tell me please so we don't have to play dueling eyebrows."
>"Mmmmmm getting worked up over seeing my mother."
>Oh
>Well, that's
>Wait
"...Were you trying to say I'm too orphaned to understand parent drama?" you say with your harshest squint ever
>She sweats. She smiles sheepishly. She chuckles the chuckle of-
"For fuck's sake- you're the dumbest genius I've ever met."
>"I know." Trixie avoids your gaze as she climbs out of the drawer, but opens up for hugs
>The hug isn't as bone crushing as you'd like, but your kid probably appreciates that
"Alright. Now- what's going on with your mom?"
>"I haven't seen her in 15 years, the last time I saw her I was about to leave for college and we watched my idol drown, oh and I'm married to a pregnant wife who isn't coming."
>Oh
"...Yeah that'll do it. Trixie, I ain't THAT pregnant yet, I could come-"
>"NO! No, if we're seeing this through, we're doing it right! Stay near YOUR doctors, get YOUR shit done, I'll be back.

>You decide to grab the yet-unread letters and follow Trixie to the car
>A fat, jingling little sack is floated over to you- "Saw a bill in that pile. Forgot something?"
"RIght. Yeah, thanks." You grab it and slip it over your head.
>It's less of a coinpurse and more of a purse-purse, the strap being long enough to go round your neck.
>"I'll head into town, you ride with me. I'm not having you exert yourself with my equipment, just get off at town square or whatever, she can find you on her own afterwards."
>She, of course, being your technically-not-a-ghost car
>Hm-
>Something about it sets your nerves on edge. You ponder as you lock your door behind you and trot across the damp grass.
"I dunno- she's basically got a limp right now."
>"And you're developing a bit of a waddle. Your point?"
>You paw the ground and snort at that.
"And she's like- unstable, remember? I don't like the idea of her being unattended in the middle of town."
>Trixie, having reached Remmie, looks back at you with her typical smug disaffectedness. "Mi amore, you have the only wagon in the known world that actively recognizes and deters thieves."
>She climbs in. You reach the passenger door shortly after and do the same.
"That's exactly what I'm afraid of! You know how she'll overreact-"
>Belts are buckled (modifying them for ponies was no small feat) and mirrors are checked. "Are you talking about the SMILE file again? Wasn't all that because-"
"Because she was lost, afraid and in pain! She's in pain now!"
>Right on cue, the radio warbles of its own accord. Almost like a sneeze, you find yourself patting the dashboard without thinking.
"Hey don't worry, as soon as I can crawl around again you're getting the full service. This kid'll grow up with as much motor oil on her as tit milk if needs be-"
>"EW! You know, if crawling is the only issue, perhaps Fluttershy hasn't filled in that pit yet? Just a thought."
>The car shudders while the key turns.
"Hey, easy girl, we're not doing anything harsh- just a casual trip into town, low and slow- and yeah, maybe I should take her up to Fluttershy's..."
>Remmie crawls out of your yard at a pace barely faster than trotting, but hey, she's still hauling a wagonload of stuff easier than you carry your money pouch
>Trixie starts to talk but yelps and grabs the wheel as Remmie lurches. "EEEP! Okay, yes, you were right, she needs help! No distracting me!"

>The drive into town is, somehow, someway, uneventful. Ponies have grown accustomed to your car and the guard have gotten it through their fat heads to not fuck with you.
>"What do you think- HELLO?"
"AH! HUH? what? sorry-" Trixie's voice snaps you out of watching the trees drift by.
>"Any ideas what caused the damage?"
"Iunno- probably some side effect of getting shot at a few times combined with rushed repairs? Trust me, she's survived worse, just gotta actually put the work in."
>>
>>43270717
>"Uh huh. Guess I'll leave her at the train yard, you'll have to collect her? Train leaves in, uh-" She squints at the clock. "An hour? Should be able to leave her in the lot."
"Sure, that works. Not too far-"
>"Okay. Well, still got at least 15 minutes- wanna read through those letters, finally?"
"Yeah, guess I do keep forgetting to do that-"

>First up: the thing from the hospital.
>Besides the needlessly urgent writing visible on and through the envelope, it really is just a checklist for new moms.
>Free services like a seminar for managing stress about the birth, how to anticipate and mitigate in-utero magic surges (would've been nice to know half an hour ago), how to change a diaper with your mouth (crossed out)
>Underneath the generic stuff there's you and your kid's test results (unicorn, female, healthy so far) and specifics for parents of unicorns.
>Trixie glances between you and the road. "So far, so good?"
"Yeah. Mostly a list of stuff the hospital will do for cheap, if not on the universal health plan thing. This one's gonna be important: they can get a certified court mage to help babyproof your house. Like make it so she can't teleport into someplace that'll kill her."
>"Very important- sounds pricey though."
"Eh, it's the most expensive service they got but even that ain't too bad. Like ten bits an hour with finance options. Most of it probably won't even be spellcasting, just like-"
>"Re-kajiggering the house so we'll quickly know if she got into a cabinet or something?"
"AyuWOAH-"
>You lurch forward as Trixie hits the brakes. Considering you were going maybe 10mph, it's not too bad, but still.
>Trixie's hunched over the steering wheel, breathing heavily as a young colt belly flops onto the hood, grinning ear to ear as he puts his ear to the metal
"Trixie, don't-"
>She says nothing, just breathes and leans on the wheel
>huff, huff
>various swears
>
>
>His mother finally comes by and drags him off by the tail, red-faced and smiling congenially at you
"Thanks for not honking him into the stratosphere, babe. Believe me, I know EXACTLY how much restraint that took."
>"Just call me the Patient and Magnanimous Trixie-"
"I'm not doing that."
>"Good." You feel the slight vertigo as you accelerate and get underway again. The invitation from Celestia's school still waits-

>Unlike the envelope addressed to your 'future heir or heiress,' the letter itself is written in a tight but neat cursive, the kind unicorn fartsniffers use.
>A letterhead containing the royal seal of the sun court is immediately followed by FROM THE PERSONAL DESK OF RAVEN INKWELL, COURT SENESCHAL TO HER MAJESTY'S DAY COURT, AND WITH THEIR MAJESTIES' BLESSING:

>Turning slowly, Anonmare moved away from the door, feeling sort of happy with how things had turned out.
>Inviting Anon to spend time with her, doing something they wouldn't normally do together.. she'd gotten the reassurances she'd hoped for ultimately.
>And a little extra, something she hadn't been expecting, but came as part of the experience.
>Mare care. Physical affection. A little bit of pleasure. She wasn't a machine, she liked feeling good.
>Getting cared for and tended to was, she had to concede, pretty alright. That IS why spas and salons existed after all.
>Her hooves carried her quietly around the darkened living area, a lone mare basking in the cool and restful tones her home now expressed.
>It was still a lot to process. Everything. Even as the nightly lull of the cottage urged her to seek her bed.
>Crossing between the couch and the fireplace, she passed by the board and stopped.
>This was something the two of them had set up not long after settling in, a literal board for them to larp and leave messages to one another for fun and utility.
>That included writing their name (anonymous), the date, time and number for each entry. Kind of autistic, but it did help them practice their horse-based writing skills.
>The first posts from about five weeks ago were barely legible.
>Anon had gone first by creating a thread for their 'Life in Equestria'.
>She had replied with 'OP is a faggot'.
>He had scolded her! Heh.
>Just looking at the shitty scribbles made her grin. It was such a shoddy parody, even the boxes they drew were crooked, but they were improving.
>At this point Anon's writing was getting a lot better than hers- more importantly there was a new post from today, timed from before she had come home.

>[>Be Anonstallion in Equestria

>[>Seems like she hates the idea
>[>Says yes anyway
>[What do I do?

>Okay, well, that's already been dealt with, though it was a little sad seeing a memento of his guilt about the proposition.
>Either way it needed a reply before she could go to sleep.
>Next to the board they had a small table with a cup of coloured pencils, a crank pencil sharpener, pins and extra sheets of paper to extend their writing area as needed.
>Anonmare picked out a red pencil with her teeth, focused on the spot below Anon's message, wrote in the link, switched to black and thought for exactly zero seconds.
>[foalmaking sex with your new horse wife

>This was going to backfire horribly. It JUST backfired. YOU'RE the subject! Geez.
>She should write another message, something to compensate, something more serious.

>Something in the letterhead fizzles. Your receipt of this letter is Acknowledged.
>Fucking magical ink crap again! Oh well- wait, court seneschal?
>Trixie notices the face you're probably making. "What?"
"It's not even from the princess, it's from her official quill diddler or whatever. Lessee-"
>>"Honorable Anonymares(sic) Lulamoon, Bearer of Understanding by Grace of Harmony-"
"Wow, that sure is a title."
>>"I hope this letter finds you and your unborn in good health. Yes I know about that; I don't know why you're keeping it a secret and I won't pry-"
>Trixie smugs smugly at you. "Being completely fair, 'I thought it would be funny' is going to make you look stupider than saying it was a secret shame."
"Yeah, yeah."
>>"Suffice to say, handling Celestia's paperwork gives me the highest security clearance imaginable. No, really, higher than the Princesses even. It's my job to read all the hogwash from SMILE in case any of it is brain poison. Ha ha. Sorry, I needed to vent about that. It was actually mister Biceps who told me. Must've been a fun night, wish I were there but I was stuck in bed with my tits getting sucked in a completely nonsexual way-"
You squint, moving the paper back and forth a bit... "What??"
>"She had a kid, remember? That was why Celestia was so late getting the messages about our impending sharkpocalypse."
"Ohhh, right. Okay-"
>>"Oops, there I go writing off-topic again. Mom-brain, you know?(1) Anyway, this letter is to inform you of certain rights befitting your station:"
>>"First, considering your status as a high value asset (and target), your entire family is entitled to attend ALL theory and defense classes at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, regardless of your foal's tribe. Of course, should you bear a unicorn, they will be entitled to tribe-specific tutelage as well."

>The car rolls to a stop. Trixie is frothing at the mouth, though whether it's in joy or fury you cannot tell.
"Trixie? You alright?"
>"Just peachy! It's not like I strained my relationship with my mother over paying for those classes! Ha ha ha ha HA HA!"
"Come on- you know we'd probably not've made it out of the spa if not for-"
>"I KNOW!" She cuts herself off, taken aback by her outburst. "Sorry, I know, it's just- FUCK! One of those times where my life seems like a giant joke!"
"Better a joke than a cautionary tale, right?"
>"Oh fuck off. What's the rest of that letter?"

>>"Second, considering you are almost certainly carrying a unicorn or pegasus of high magic potential, the crown can reimburse you for modifications to your house, provided they are directly related to creating a safer environment for the baby."
"Sweet. Rather do it myself, but-" a squirming draws your gaze downwards. "Yeah I'm talking about you in there- don't start that with me now, sweetie."
>>
>>43272238
>>"Third, and perhaps most important, due to recent events and 'ill portents,' Her Majesty has seen fit to formally reinstate the feudal titles associated with your sacred bond-"
>"Well that explains that." Trixie is barely containing a giddy outburst.
"Go ahead, you know you wanna."
>"EEEEEEEEEE FUCK YOU DAD I GOT A COLLEGE DEGREE AND I'M SLEEPING WITH THE GENTRY!"
"You done?"
>"Yes, thank you. Please continue, *my lady.*" She purrs the title.
>>"Henceforth, all Bearers of Harmony are to be recognized as equivalent to knighthood and are required to be fit for battle and political theatre as any knight would be."
>You and Trixie share a nervous look.
>>"There, that's the boilerplate out of the way, now for the you-and-me section. I know you're the last pony who needs combat training, but considering your injuries and magic mishaps, I'm formally commanding you to: one, get used to wearing a chain shirt (one will be provided at no cost) and two, take some remedial magic classes (like the free ones you were just invited to.) The last thing we need is you burning out at a pivotal moment."
"...Free armor! Probably gonna be made of fancy material too! Sweet."
>>"Now, regarding the 'political symbol' aspect of your position..."
>"That doesn't sound good-"
>>"I'm told you adamantly refused to accept tickets to the grand galloping gala. Very noble of you, I'm sure, but you're going to be there if I have to come and drag you up the sheer side of the mountain myself. Dignitaries from all over the world gather at the gala and it's the perfect time to introduce the heroes who saved the world TWICE IN ONE YEAR to the political stage."
"FUCK! SHIT DAMN ASS FUCK FUCK FUCK....FUCK."
>"Now hold on- flip the page, maybe there's more?"
>Shuffle, shuffle
"Yeah-"
>>"As Her Majesty absolutely detests the grand galloping gala, She is formally requesting that the bearers of harmony use any means necessary to, and I quote, 'liven things up.' This will not only save Princess Celestia from self-inflicted injuries, but will openly flaunt the traditions she has grown to despite in a manner none but a yak would dare argue with. Coincidentally, guess who never gets invited? Wink wink.
"Trixie?"
>"Yes?"
"We just got a blank check to fuck up the biggest party of the year."
>"Did we?"
"Yes- says it right here."
>"Okay then, so my ears weren't damaged."
"Not at all."
>"Good."
"...Considering she's asking us to make yaks of ourselves, do you want to come? Might be bad for your rep."
>"Perish the thought! The GREAT and POWERFUL TRIXIE is going to ABSOLUTELY RUIN THE GALA and GET AWAY WITH IT! HA HA HA HA HA HA!
>You yelp and grab the wheel before you all go careening into a fence.
"WOAH WOAH, we're still driving in case you forgot!"
>"oop- sorry."
"One more bit here-"

>>"She also requests that you not tell the others, for fear of making their shenaniganery less authentic. Pinkie Pie almost certainly knows because Pinkie, and you are being informed so you and your wife can make an informed decision regarding her appearance."
>"Oh, that's thoughtful! Tell her I'm coming and to make sure my baggage isn't searched." She grins like the fucking Grinch.
>>"Below you will find a watermark that, upon confirming your comprehension of this letter, will materialize all necessary tickets and paperwork for your training, two (2) tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala, one (1) reimbursement form for tailored finery, and a summoning scroll for a royal guard escort carriage. You are the ticket czar, Anon. Don't lose them or everypony will be paying for their own."
>>"PS: Really, I know you don't need any combat training, but please work with me. A course on squad tactics and some weekend militia training saves lives. Do it for your friends, if not yourself."

>Ponyville township proper rolls into view as you tuck the bundle away.
"Welp. My day just got a shitload more packed."
>"Oh don't worry Anon, they don't expect you to do it immediately or else it'd say that... Ok, town hall to pay the utilities?"
>Rolling farmlands give way to mane street and charming little tudor houses. More ponies stop to gawk at Remmie.
>Townies.
>At least none of them actively get in the way, though the going is still slowed at times.
>The great central carousel housing the local elected queen bitch lies just ahead.
"Yeah- lemme off, I'll come get the car when I'm done."
>Trixie rolls to as smooth a stop as the wobbly wheel will allow
>To your surprise, she cuts the motor and tosses you the keys. "Here, since you're afraid of an altercation with her. I can put it in neutral and pull the rest of the way."
"I... Okay, if you're sure... We GOTTA get a spare key made, but I don't know if-"


>You pat at your stomach as The Kid squirms at your climbing out. Then the side of the car-
"Might be late getting you, gonna get a massage or something if I can. Back and hips hurt, but then it's straight to Flutters as soon as I'm up to working on you."
>Beepbeep
>Trixie finishes tying a harness to the little hitch at the back, and you watch as your car limps backwards towards the train station.
>Without you
>This is fine
>No really, this is 100% fine. Great even.

>It's noon-ish
>The early autumn sun is shining
>Ponies are going about their day
>And you got shit to do

>The double doors of Ponyville Town Hall/Billing Center/Small Claims Court/Sandwich Shoppe/Insurance Cartel Headquarters swing open
>As you cross the threshold, the soundscape changes.
>Wind and casual chatter become typewriters and quiet, formal dialogue. New instruments playing the same melody.
>Wow that's a lotta ponies. You figured the local government would be swamped lately but DAYUM.
>On the right, Cheerilee is haggling with some sort of chalk czar. Or is the chalk czar haggling with her?
>To your left, a current of indignant pleading. Davenport stares up at a stony-faced low level bureaucrat, probably arguing over insurance claims.
>Not your business, much as you feel for the guy.
>...
>Where is the bursar?
>Town Hall always had a clerk who could take fines and utility payments in person! You look all around, three times, but where is he!?
>There's so many new windows, cubicles, clerks and clients crammed into this space now. Half the town needs some kind of disaster relief or insurance payout, and the resultant sea of supplicants is making it impossible to navigate.
>You can't even see the signs through all the pegasi filling the air like a feathery curtain!
>Fuckfuckfuck
>You're standing here like a tourist or something, talking to yourself and-
"Where is- hey! WATCH IT!"
>-and getting bumped into.
>Okay
>You have a simple solution here. Just announce that you're pregnant and the entire fucking room will file into a clear path for you.
>...No.
>Dammit.
>You're too in love with the idea of messing with Twilight. Plus you're nowhere near ready to deal with gossiping hens and belly-touchers and-
>Curse your shenanigans.
>It's fine, just back your ass into the wall and out of the way for a sec
>The water/power billing was here before the disaster. It's a permanent fixture so it's gotta be in the same place... that'd be way in the back. Fuck.

>Hmmm
>Idea!
>Didn't twilight make a force field dome or something?
>How did she-
>Your horn ignites.
>You have no idea how Twilight did it but it was probably too much math
>Your magic is clay. Squish it. Crimp it. Spin it until you have a bowl of force.
>...Wow that's tiring. Holy shit maybe you do need some pointers cuz Twilight makes it look so goddamn easy
>Yeah no this ain't gonna work. It barely covers your body and takes so much concentration you can't even move your legs.
>Sure would be helpful if a certain SOMEPONY could give you a little KICKSTART, huh?

>Another migraine, another craving beamed directly into your visual cortex.

>The shock to your system is invigorating this time. The static charge punching your lower intestinal tract softens instantly and suffuses into your entire body.
>A cone of green light solidifies in front of you- a cowcatcher.
>Party time.
"Scuze me! Pardon me!"
>Ponies go flying as you charge through the crowd
"Comin' through!"
>You can feel something triggering every time they get hit- they're not hitting the ground, just gently falling onto their hooves
"Sorry! Got bills to pay!"

>I STILL EXPECT REPAYMENT IN FULL, MOTHER.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll get it on the way out. Because *I* want one!"
>WE ARE CURRENTLY A SINGLE ORGANISM, MOTHER. MY NEEDS ARE YOURS. YOU WILL COMPLY REGARDLESS.
>Argh
>No time for another existential doom spiral, you got bills to-
>A sign over the former bursar's window states: "PONYVILLE EMERGENCY FASHION FUND. FOR UTILITY PAYMENTS PLEASE GO TO SECOND FLOOR, ROOM ONE."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

>It's fine, it's fine
>There's two sets of stairs- one up front, one in the back
>You don't have the mental or magical reserves to do the battering ram thing again, so back stairs it is.
>Room one... so it's at the front. Fine, that's FINE.
>Something about it feels off, though-
>A sense of.. not quite dread, but awkward tension clouds your mind as you climb the stairs
>What are you so afraid of?
>The answer comes into view at the top: You'll have to cross right in front of Mayor Mare's office
>You've been avoiding her.
>Not taking work when she sends orders.
>Even before you knew you were pregnant
>How much of that fucking race does she remember? You don't know, you don't want to know-
>It's fine, act casual, stroll on by, it doesn't matter if she remembers you fucking up and almost getting her enslaved to a yak ha ha hA HAAHAA
>"Oh, Anon, I was starting to get- uh- okay-"
>Her voice recedes into the background noise, until it doesn't
>"Anon?" Loud and clear. You freeze, slowly turning your head-
>Her head is poking out of her doorway, looking right at you. That's concern on her face, right?
"...yeah?"
>"Are you... okay? I've been trying to hire you but you wouldn't answer your door, you didn't respond to letters- the orphanage could really use some new beds- we've got some guys fixing that wing but you doing the furniture would free them up.. for..."
>She squints at the bill sticking out of the top of your bag.
>>
>>43273924
>"...Contractor discount?"
>The squint intensifies
>Ha ha ha it's hot in here
"Heh- yeah- uh-"
>Wow your shirt collar is tight and you're not even wearing a shirt
>Come on, just go back into your office, ignore the potential fraud or nepotism or whatever going-
>"OH, that must be why- well, don't let me get in the way of one of Ponyville's essential workers!"
>Mayor Mare laughs as her head retracts back through the doorway
>Phew


>Okay, where is the- there it is!
>Nobody in line.
>Nobody at the station right now, but there's no out to lunch sign or anything either.
>Guess you just wait?
>Dammit
>Now you feel bad
>You don't even know if you're breaking any rules, either- for all you know, helping stop the boiler from blowing was more than enough to legally be considered a contractor!
>But goddamn it feels bad
>Augh
>You can't do shit right now anyway!
>Well
>Your magic works fine and you can walk around almost as good as normal and-
>It's mostly just not being able to belly-crawl.
>You do that a lot in your professional life... Huh. Never thought of how much you need to crawl and bend around until now.
>Anyway
>Goddamn
>Where the fuck is-
>Well there's a bell. Try ringing that, fucktard?
>Ding ding
>"Commiiiiiiiiiiing"
>Wait
>Was that-
>Derpy's screwy eyes peer at you from across the counter. "Oh, hi Anon!"
"Derpy!?"
>"Yep!"
"...You're running the payment window now!?"
>"Yep! Well, whoever's available, but yep!"
"...You're a postal worker?"
>"I thought it was weird too, but Mayor Mare said that since I carry bills and checks all the time I'm basically already doing this job."
"Huh... Actually can't argue with that, I guess. So- gotta pay my utility bill."
>You slide the bill over and start counting out coins. 30 bits in the form of 3 10-bit copper coins.
>The mare, coins and bill disappear into the darkness behind the counter. The mare returns a moment later, with a ticket stub in her mouth.
>"Wow, your bill's pretty light. What's your secret?"
"I have a magic wagon with its own power generator so all I'm really paying for right now is my hot shower addiction."
>She laughs awkwardly. "Gee, my electric bill is higher than your whole bill. Even counting the discount..."
"...No, seriously, my bills have always been pretty light. The hell do you have in your house that uses that much power?? Not even my electric stove burns that much juice!"
>Oh fuck you yelled at The Derp
>You complete piece of-
>You must have a bad poker face, cause she puts you in an awkward head-only, long-distance hug before you can apologize. "Oh don't worry about it, the little one messes with your head, I know. Speaking of which, I won't tell anyone until you make an announcement. Mailmare's honor."
>Well
>That's a relief. Two, even.
>Still-
"Thanks, but I really am curious-"

>Swallow your pride and ask! You got shit to do!
>A quick glance reveals you're not holding up a line. Okay. Proceed with-
"Okay, sorry if this is prying or whatever, but what's so special about this bed?"
>"Uhhhh- it's all magnety? Feels great on my wings!"
"Wha-"

"Tactile?"
>"-Tactile energy in a normal cloud bed!"
>Hang on

"Wha-WHA WHA-"
>You snap out of a fugue with a start, glancing around for the source of the noise
>It's Derpy, right where you left her.
>Your mane is blown out a little, as if by wingbeats overhead.
>When did she leave? How long were you-
>The SCENT reaches your nose. You notice something on the counter that was not there last time you checked...
>A steaming fishball sub sits in a little waxed cardstock basket. Derpy is nibbling on something pressed thin.
>Wait
>FISHBALL?
>CONSUME
>Oh yeah no that's great
>Crunchy, fleshy, the sweet taste of dead animals in a package socially acceptable to ponies-
>And a bit of malt vinegar
"How did you know I wanted one?"
>"Uhhh-" She looks up from her tomato and daisy panini, head cocked, face somewhat worried.
"What?"
>"You were staring down at the sandwich kiosk, rubbing your hooves like a fly, talking to yourself in a little demon goblin voice or something."
"Oh. I was saying that out loud?"
>"Yep. I was about to get you a lozenge until I heard you saying fishballs over and over..."
"Ah.. heh... how much do I owe you?"
>"Pfft, nothing. Unless you want me to pay for all the muffins..." Derpy looks bashful, almost afraid. "You don't... do you?"
"Course not- even if I did, I'd have to start keeping track and I'm not doing that."
>Well
>You're done eating, just standing-
>Bit awkward.
>"Uh- I don't mind the company when there's nopony in line, but you really don't have to stay here with me you know. Honest. It's ok to dine and dash!"

>D'oh
>Stop being a dipshit

"Say, do you think I could check out your bed? Kinda bugging me that I can't picture it in my head."
>She shrugs. "It's just a bed, but I don't mind showing it off I guess? Oop-" A clock whistle interrupts her. "That's my shift over!"
>Derpy ducks beneath the counter, coming back up with-
>Actually you don't know what changed
>Something is off, though.
>Your neck feels lighter
>Derpy looks around. "Aaaand I don't see anypony to take this post! Lucky you, guess you're the last customer of the day?"
>Waaait
>You saw something while her head was turned.
"DERPY!"
>"GAAH WHAT!?"
"Why is my coinpurse stuck to your mane!?"
>"IT IS!? GET IT OFF!"
>You try grabbing with your mouth and it hurts your teeth.
>Yeah that's a no go. It's stuck on tight.
"The fuck you use for shampoo!? Anaconda glue!?"
>"NOT SINCE 50 YEARS AGO I PROMISE!"
>What follows is several minutes of contorting and close contact with a mare. It's awkward and slightly offputting.
>It's not like Derpy's ugly or anything- quite the opposite
>Rather, you don't know if she's into it, and your wife isn't here to be ok with it, and you're still lacking any sexual desire so the awkward intimacy is more of a scientific observation than a true experience for you.
"Gah! Grab that column and hold on tight!"
>"Grabbing!"
>You've now got one hoof on Derpy's back, both your forehooves on the pouch, and your magic field folded into a prybar-like shape for good measure
>You're so close to her now that it's making your blood feel weird
"HNNNNNNG!"
>Finally!
>You go careening backwards, in a manner you'd planned for, with your fat ass braking against the wall without anything more than a mild soreness
>Right away, you notice your purse isn't jingling as much as normal
>Looking inside, you can see the iron 20s all stuck together and those tenners are...
>No. Copper doesn't magnetize! COPPER DOES NOT MAGNETIZE!
"DERPY. WHY ARE MY COPPERS MAGNETIZED!?"
>"Coins just stick to me! I don't know why! I wasn't trying to steal it, I swear!"
>Sigh
"Yeah, I didn't think so. I'm not mad at you, I'm... kind of terrified at whatever's going on."
>"Well, I'm off for the rest of the day unless we get a priority long-haul package, so come by whenever if you still care about my bed?"
"Yeah, sure. Uh- stay away from my car, please, I don't need my tools flying off with you."

>>Mayor Mare delicately removes her glasses, stows them in a hard leather case, tucks them into a pocked inside her cravat-collar, and facehoofs. Hard.
>>"For the love of- the thing we're required by law to have? For PRECISELY this eventuality!?"
>You and Derpy stare blankly-
>There's that cricket again
>
>
>>"DERPY! How do you not know this!? Did you even read-"
>Derpy's wings ruffle long before her scowl twists into being. Instinctually, you back up a few paces.
>"READ WHAT!? YOU BASICALLY DRAFTED ME OFF THE STREET ON ONE OF THE FEW DAYS OFF I'VE BEEN GETTING LATELY!"
>>Mayor Mare opens her mouth, and shuts it as Derpy's shadow falls over her
>"AND BEFORE YOU SAY YOU'VE BEEN OVERWORKED, NO YOU HAVEN'T! YOU SIT IN YOUR OFFICE ALL DAY, GIVING ME HEART ATTACKS WHEN YOU TRICK ME INTO DEMOLISHING A BUILDING OR TOUCHING EVIL SLIME, HAVING TWO GOONS PULL ME IN HERE TO WORK A SECOND JOB-"
>>Again, Mayor Mare- shrinks against the hallcony safety fence as Dorp advances
>"I KNOW LEADERSHIP IS A JOB, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SIGNING PAPERS AND WHAT NOT, BUT IT TAKES SOME NERVE TO GET IMPATIENT WITH A MARE WHO'S OUT IN THE SHIT ALL DAY HAULING THREE TIMES HER OWN WEIGHT IN INSURANCE PAPERWORK 6 DAYS A WEEK WHEN ALL YOU DO IS PUSH PENS AND LICK PLOT!"
>Goddamn that was all in one breath??
>>"D-d-d-derpy I just- there's safety pap-" shrinking into the fence as Derpy gets up in her face
>"I DIDN'T GET ANY KIND OF LITERATURE! IF THERE'S SOMETHING I NEEDED TO KNOW, WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK WHY I HAVEN'T SIGNED ANYTHING SAYING I KNOW IT???"
>
>
>Derpy trails off, chest heaving with ragged breaths
>>Finally, Mayor Mare has the wherewithal to respond: "Uh- it gives the energy in your wings a place to go? So... t-t-this doesn't happen?" She makes a sweeping gesture at your coinpurse stuck to Derpy's face, and some sparkly bits under her feathers you hadn't noticed before.
>>"I-i-i-t's right under your side of the counter, on the left."
>The gust of wind from Derpy flap-jumping backwards, clear over the counter in one go, nearly launches you over the fence.
>Some shuffling and grunting as Derpy prods around with her front-
>"YEOW!"
>A loud pop and flash. Derpy's mane stands on end, accompanied by the tinkling of paper clips, coins, nails and carpentry tools fall to the floor.
>She gently slides your coinpurse over the counter, the motion of which causes a loud THUNK as a railroad tie falls out of her mane.
>>"....Better?"
>>
>>43277072
They're hay nuggies.
>>
>>43277806
>"What would be better?"
>>"Uh- your little outburst? Surely you were..."
>>She starts shaking and shrinking again when Derpy leans over the counter like a panther overlooking a goat covered in bbq sauce.
>>"-That is to say, er-"
>"Fed up at you blaming me for your own incompetence. Those are the words you're looking for, not 'in a bad mood because i'm burdened' nor 'too dumb to read the papers.'"
>Mayor Mare chuckles nervously. Derpy continues- "My shift ended, and I never signed anything for this job, and you know what? I don't think I'll be back tomorrow, so either you find somepony, or do it yourself, or explain to your voters why the bills THEY HAVE PROOF OF PAYING never got to the plant office."
>>The mayor is flopping buckets of sweat, eyeing you desperately, still backed into the railing.
"Hey, don't look at me- I got MY proof of payment right here. I know we got a good relationship but I can't say I'd be happy about my hot water being cut off."
>>And back to the grey death. "Eh, hehe- I guess maybe I should... lead by example? Stay late tonight?"
>And as quickly as it came, the anger roils off like steam. Derpy's back to her usual bubbly self, and you follow her out in stunned silence.
>It's much easier going out than in- some of the crowd has thinned for a late lunch (clock says 12:30) and those who remained are preemptively avoiding Derpy's ire
>The double doors creak open again. Slam shut. The ambient hoofbeats turn from hardwood knocking to soft thuds on grass and trundling wagon wheels. Pencil scratchings and calculator dings turn to distant birdsong. The quiet murmur changes from desperately-trying-not-to-yell-at-the-clerks to general pony noise.
>You have successfully paid your bill! (Assuming Mayor Mare doesn't fuck it up)

>Wait
>Shit, Derpy is getting away! She's already almost off the town hall porch... thing.
>Trod along the wooden platform, call out before she takes off!
"Hey, wait a sec
>She looks back at you, slightly annoyed and confused but not angry. "Um, right now isn't a good time to see my bed, I wasn't going straight home."
"Oh- no, I wasn't- just a couple questions."
>She says nothing, but tucks her wings and turns around to face you properly.
"So uh- first off, what's up with you and her?-"
>She snorts, you panic, you attempt to placate.
"No no no I'm not taking sides I'm just- I've never seen you get that angry, kind of worried about you?"
>Relaxation. Success!
"Not to mention, now I'm wondering if she coulda screwed me on something?"
>A heavy sigh. Ass plants on the wooden deck. "No, no, she's not corrupt. I'd know and I'd've already turned her head to paste for it. It's personal stuff- personal as in it's entirely between us, not that I care if it's secret. Uh-"
>She rolls her eyes, putting a wingtip to her mouth, thinking of how to start.
>"Yeah I got no nice way of saying it- she's kind of a bitch to me and I bucking had it back there."
"R-really?"
>>
>>43277891
>"Yeah- well, no, maybe 'bitch' is too strong, but she's always drafting me for extracurricular horseapples."
"To be fair, that's already enough to justify hating her to me. 'Course, you work for the government and I... actually I think I technically do now? Fuck."
>"Eh, I can always say no. The post office works for the crown, not whatever town your distro center happens to be in."
"Then why don't you?"
>"I like being helpful? Civil service is my job, silly...." She trails off in thought. Her shoulders sag a bit- "Okay, I guess I do have a problem, not being able to say 'no' as often as I should..."
"I got at least one other friend who knows what that's like."
>"Yeah. Honestly, it'd be fine, usually it is. It's just- it's a vicious cycle. Sometimes she catches me when I'm about ready to scream, then either I screw up because of that or I screw up because she assumed I knew something I didn't, and then she gets more exasperated and the next time she bugs me she walks on eggshells and that makes me more mad and tired and- yeah. It's been a cycle of driving each other crazy. I can't put ALL the blame on her cuz, y'know, I DO need to just tell her no."
"Okay, if she thinks you're a constant screwup, why's she even-"
>"Well, lately it seems like I'm, uh, far from her first choice? Besides, it's not... ENTIRELY a personal problem?"
>She goes a little quieter, talks a bit slower. "I've got some kinda head injury from the guard, s'why my eyes won't sit right-"
"You were-"
>"Oh, yeah, I took a lucerne to the face meant for Celestia. Had the best homing sense in the service until some griffon with a hammer knocked a few screws loose..."
>Sigh. "Now I need that special bed to screw 'em tight every night..."
>Derpy takes a deep breath. You can hear the faintest hint of suppressing a sob. "And I started to feel worse right after hitting that plate, so I need to go home and nap or I'll get lost... yeah. Honestly? Thanks for stopping me from taking off, I forgot and that woulda been bad."
>She droops. You throw a hoof over her shoulders and hug tight.
"You want me to come with you? I'm not doing much and nothing time sensitive."
>"O-oh, no, I can still read street signs just fine, I just can't orient in the air so good. I mean, I guess I'm a little dizzy and clumsy, but- Actually, yeah, I'd appreciate it. Thanks."
>You both sit on the deck in companionable silence for a moment.
>A stallion, evidently having been waiting behind you, gets huffy and makes a show of walking around you
"So."
>"You said it was a couple of questions?"
"Wh- oh, right, yeah- you've been to Fluttershy's in the last day or two, right?"
>"Uh huh?"
"You remember that pit I had my wagon over? Is that still there? I need to do some work on the wheels and I REALLY can't be crawling too low right now, y'know?"
>"Ohhh- yeah, well, mostly? I think? I mean, actually, why not just ask her to arrange for a pit at your house?"
>Well-
>You got nothing.
"...Why not, indeed?"

Based on the lyrics alone I'd swear this guy is an anonmarebro. One of his other songs is even called "anon mare returns". The anon mare in question however is a little stand-outish. Purple suits her but it's strange seeing an anonpony now without the black mane. Makes me think of a pic I saw where an OC takes off a wig and boom it's Anonmare. I suppose there is a distinction between Anonmare as her own concept and anon mares- mares that are anons, or anonpony OCs (which is in the same vein as being a namefag). The design for an alicorn anonmare that was Cadance's sister was cool, with the unique heart-themed question cutiemark. I feel like I'm dismantling Theseus' Mare here. At what point is an anonmare no longer an anonmare? How far can you shift the scale between uniformity and individuality? And why am I overthinking this?
Sorry, my autism was triggered, she's a cute mare either way

"Wait, I gotta grab my car from the train station-"
>"Oh, that's on the way to my house! Kinda..."
"Really?"
>"Anon, that'd be a silly thing for me to lie about you know."
"Yeah- I know-"
>"You should let me haul it!"
"HER. And, I kinda wanna get her fixed ASAP so-"
>"Nah, I'll only need to lie down for a few minutes, trust me."
"Derpy, it's-"
>"Nope!"
"Nope!?"
>"I'd be a bad mare if I let you haul such a heavy thing right now, and is it really such a good idea to drive her right now?"
"Well... We got into town just fine!"
>The look of mild disappointment she gives you hurts more than any physical impact
"I guess, if YOU'RE offering- but-"
>"Okay!"

>Then it's decided
>Off to see the bed! The wonderful bed of Derp!
>It's a tame walk
>Tame by normal standards, even. Not just Ponyville standards.
>The train station isn't far at all, and you only have to turn Derpy around once on the way.
>You do end up needing to shoo that same colt away. He's splayed over your windshield.
>Trixie left her harness hitched, so all Derpy has to do is slip it on.
>You start to ask if her wings are okay, but she stops you. "Yeah, don't worry- it's a little tight but that'll just stop me from trying to take off."
>A little maneuvering, and you're off. The guard tries to stop you, but having the leys on you is proof enough for him.

>As you're passing by houses, Derpy speaks up. "Little one giving you trouble?"
>You wait a moment before answering
>
>No? Not gonna do something?
"...Nope. Not since the fishball sub. Thanks, by the way."
>"Don't mention it!"
>
>
>A few minutes later, out of the corner of your eye, you catch the crusaders storming the gates of Carousel Boutique
>Interesting

"So... you were in the royal guard?"
>Sigh. "Technically? I signed up to be a skirmisher for the army but turns out our chain of command is a giant sopping wet pile of spaghetti?"
"Huh."
>"What? Is that all?"
"I guess? I know better than to pry, but if you WANNA talk, feel free?"
>"Yeah, I'd rather not. You know The Event."
"Fair enough."
>
>
>
>A couple of pee breaks later-
"So, post office works for Raven Inkwell?"
>"Yep. Part of her duties is handling palace messaging, I guess they shrugged and said 'she's the postmistress.' It's more ceremonial I think? We actually have a dedicated postmaster general, but if Ms. Inkwell ever wanted to she technically could boss him around?"
>
>
>
>"Okay, we're here!"
>Derpy's cute little townhouse looms directly ahead
>>A little filly leans out of the top window- "MOMMY!"
>Oh fuck she's adorable
>And she's not even your kid
>Your kid will be ten times cuter
>CORRECT
>>She leans out even harder, pointing harsh at Remmie behind her mother. "What's THAAAT?"
>hnnnnnnnnng

>Something about the child stirs something in you.
>A feeling you once had quite often, decades ago. The feeling that you've seen this before, in an uncannily similar but not self-same fashion.
>You've seen Dinky before, but not in this life. You recall they were never 'canonically' declared mother and child, but reality doesn't give a shit about canon.
>
>Whoo, boy, been a bit since you dissociated like that-
>Where were you?
>Right. Dinky Doo is leaning out, wiggling and waving her hooves. Derpy tries taking off but Remmie weighs several tons, and Trixie's ropework is too damn good to simply tear off.
>"DINKY STOP THAT! AAAA NOOOO!"
>>The filly loses her balance, tumbling ass over head. Before you can even think, her weight is straining against your magic
>The filly floats gently to the ground while you midly strain yourself, landing with a little thump and 'oof.'
>Derpy has her in a bear hug, equal parts yelling at her and kissing her and admonishing her idiocy
>Fuck
>Yep
>That's doing something to your lady parts. Not your pussy, your *reproductive organ*
>The rush of emotions leaves you sitting down, caressing your belly with one hoof. A little hoof presses back, or maybe that's her little snout? Oooooooooooh-
>A wall of grey feathers and sunny mane engulfs you with the harshest 'pomf' sound you've ever heard-
>"thankyoutahnkyouthankyouthankyou-"
"Woah, geez, Derpy it's fine, stop- STAHP!" You barely manage to pry your face away from her. "Come on, if you hadn't been hauling my car you woulda-"
>"I'm the one who insisted! If I'd done what you wanted I would've been free to take off- but with my head all funny I probably woulda missed and you woulda been inside and I dunno how that would affect your magic! Okay?"
"okay" you squeak out
>"Sounds like you're still blaming yourself."
"OKAY, sheesh."
>Something squirms against your body, still half-embraced by Derpy. A fluffy foal snoot presses against you while a pair of little legs hug your belly.
>You lean back enough to look down. A pair of hnng-inducing eyes peer back up. "Are you making a foal in there?"
>"DINKY! Don't just assume a mare is having a baby! If she isn't, she'll think you think she's fat!"
"I am chubby though."
>>"Hmmf, no you're not- chubby tummies are soft, and this-" Little Muffin gently lays her head on you, "THIS is hard! It's got bones in it and-"
"Ugh, yes, I AM having a baby, and don't tell anyone. I wanna see how long I can go before Twilight realizes I'm not getting fatter."
>Derpy shoots you an odd, slightly confused look. You shudder as Filly Anon wakes up and does her shadowboxing routine.
>>Dinky squeals with delight as your daughter shifts around. The warm little furball lays her head on the top of your belly and nuzzles you. "Mommy did I move around this much?"
>You tilt your head back just in time to avoid being rammed by Derpy as she goes in to cuddle with Dinky. "Yes, your favorite sport was boxing mommy's bladder, so be nice to Miss Lulamoon."

>The warmth squished against you grunts and worms her way out of the hug, planting her rump a couple paces away.
>"Dinky? What's wrong?"
>>She squints, sizing you up. "Liar! Trixie is blue, she's GREEN!"
"Trixie's my WIFE, I took her family name!"
>>"....oh."
>Derpy chuckles and shakes her head, getting up and heading for her front door. "She's a huge fan. Good luck, I'm heading inside before I- woah- fall over."
>True to her word, Derpy stumbles a bit as she trots inside. Funny, she seemed mostly fine? Maybe it's the adrenaline?

>The inside of Derpy's house is... fine?
>It's a nice little house, really
>Just a bit bare, considering she should be making good money, but it's not your place to judge and you dunno how to ask nicely.
>Like, sparsely decorated. The furniture is fine but the walls lack the homey clutter you've come to expect from pony houses.
>Derpy's voice calls out from upstairs, muffled by a door. "Won't be more than an hour, I promise, would you keep Dinky from KILLING HERSELF while I nap? Thanks!"
>>The child in question winces, ears droopy, eyes guilty
"Hey, come here. Don't be like that, she's more glad you're okay than mad you did something dumb, alright?"
>>"Promise?" A sniffle
"Promise. It's part of the mom code." You laugh a little when she gives you the doubtful stink-eye, "Yeah you get sworn in when the foal moves into your tummy, not a moment before or after."
>Welp
>There's a nice beanbag chair, plop yourself down in that, but carefully.
>Gold eyes blink and stare at you as you get comfy. Maybe lay down. Maybe take a nap yourself.
>
>She's still staring-
"Yes, you can touch my belly, just don't get super weird about it."
>>"Yay!"
>You roll onto your side and scooch around until you're comfy and Dinky can snuggle up
>Fuck this is heavenly
>Stretch your legs out, hold the kid, oh god she's so warm and cute and once the baby's born you can hug her all you want for the rest of your-
>Mmmm
>Mommy brain juice make happy
>
>
>Can't nod off, though. Way too early in the day. So you just lay here, quiet and warm and weirdly content given your usual constant need to be doing something
>>"Should we get a blanket or something? Maybe the baby's cold."
"What? Kid, it's like 100 degrees inside me, she's fiiiiine. I'M her blanket."
>>"Cooool- but-"
"Dinky. Do YOU want a blanket?"
>>"Mmm, I dunno."
>Kids.
"Well, if you do, you know where your mom keeps 'em, not me. Feel free to grab one.
>She ho's and hums but seems to be staying pu-
"OOOG"
>That was a strong kick! Ough.
>>"Oh, did that hurt?"
"Yeah, kinda. More the sudden shock than the pain that got me though."
>>"Does it always hurt?"
"Nah, usually doesn't. It does feel SUUUUPER weird though- I got used to being mindful of my belly hanging but I could make a hundred babies and never get used to that- yeeerghMOVEMOVE-"
>That was a kick that put some pressure on your bladder! Get up get up get up-

>Huh
>Okay
>The bathroom in question has no way of closing the door. Like there IS a door but there's no lock, or even any kind of latch, just a door that swings
>Inside, a copper tub on the left and a big ceramic trench dead ahead
>Like, big enough for at least two ponies to use at once. Probably three or four if they're young.
>...
>Riiight, you've seen this before. At the orphanage. And in most businesses (and that's when they don't just dig a pit in their backyard!)
>It's, uh, safe to say this is actually an incredibly normal shitter by pony standards.
>You're just being weird about seeing one inside a family home.
>Why though? Ponies are naked all the time and don't get weird about sex and bodily functions, long as you're not doing them outside designated areas
>Oh. Right. Because the last year or so is the most you've ever been to other ponies' homes, most of which was Twilight's house and she's a posh Canterlot fuck who went to the trouble of putting cubicles in the library bathrooms.
>Or Flutters and AJ, where you can just use their outdoor spots and even though more ponies could walk in on you, the fact that you aren't being walked in on inside a HOME somehow makes it 100% kosher
>The fuck is wrong with your brain?
>Well, if nothing else, you can at least expect Twilight to understand if you ever do have some weird bathroom mental breakdown.
>Yippee.
>Fuck. Does Trixie think you're really weird for having a one-pony bathroom? Like of course she does but does she think it's due to you living alone or does she suspect you having slight hangups about-
>Wait
>She HAS not-so-subtly suggested expanding the bathroom. After all, you'll be a family of three soon.
>Welp.
>You have to just admit you gotta get over yourself. A lifetime ago you had no issue using a urinal or a trough!
>Kid could walk in and use the other end of this trench and you'd be the weird one for getting embarrassed-
>Right.
>Stop fucking around and go already!
>
>
>Ah, that's better. Would've been a 10/10 if Filly wasn't trying to help knead the piss out of you from inside, though!
>One push of the little button rinses the trench. No need for the double click.
>Before you walk out of the bathroom, you think really hard about bribing the baby
>Aaaand
>...
>Nothing
>Seriously?
>Nope.
>Great
>For the first time you're pissed you DON'T have any cravings
>Oh well. You start towards the door.
>She'll settle down eventOOFally.
>Urgh, that was another blow to your lower rear section.
"Aw come on- don't make me have to-"
>..
>..
"Done? You sure?"
>>"Are you okay?" Dinky pokes her head in, as nonchalantly as you previously expected
"Heh, uh... yeah. Just talking to the baby. She's kicking me in the wrong spot AGAIN."
>>"...Ohhhh." She nods confidently, as if she already understood there's a right place to be kicked from inside your body. "Um- I have to go, can you please move out of the way? Thank you."

>No matter.
>>"What's wrong?"
>Crane your neck behind you. Dinky is slightly huffed; she clearly expected you to be laying down and awaiting her prodding, but is trying too hard to not reveal that.
"Eh, don't feel like laying down anymore."
>>"So?"
"So I promised your mom I wouldn't leave you alone, so I'm waiting on you."
>>"Oh. What're we doing?"
"....."
>Fuck
"I dunno."

>>"Really!? Not even the smellement bearers?"
>Ugh
>It's a miracle she's still young or this would stop being cute REAL fast, baby crazy or not.
>>"Ummmmmmmmmm-" Her hooves are pressed close together as she rocks back and forth
"Whatever you're thinking of, it's gotta be like in your house or within sight of your front door. I'm not taking you all over town."
>>"Caaaaan we go look at that thingy?"
"The what?"
>>"That thing my mom was hauling!"
"That 'thing' is my car!"
>>"So can we go look at it-"
"Her!"
>>"Ummmm I don't think it's a female-"
"She's a ship, you call a ship a lady, alright! And yes a ship can have wheels!"
>>"Okay, I guess. Can we go look at her?"
>...Good question
>The machine gun was removed and given back to the royal armory
>Your gun in the glove box now belongs to Trixie so she *probably* took it with her
>That leaves the shotgun. You're pretty careful about never leaving it chambered, but does it have rounds in the tube?
>You do that sometimes. A self defense gun ain't worth shit if it takes too long to-
>>"Well?"
"I'm thinking! I have lots of dangerous tools and I'm responsible if you blow your own head off!"
>>"Woah I can blow my head off!? Let's go let's go let's go-"
>Out the door she goes
>FUCK
>She's going to touch Remmie, so the only responsible thing to do is to be there keeping an eye on her
>Holy shit how has this kid lived this long?
>>
>>43281916

>Back out into the crisp air
>Dinky stands before THE CHARIOT, shaking slightly.
>>"Woah, she's a lot bigger... up... close." She has to rear up, strain to touch the door handle. Her trembling mouth approaches the driver's side-
>oshit did you remember to lock it?
>You magic her away, almost knocking her over as you force her to sit firmly on her rump
>>"OOF! What was that for!?" She squirms in your grip. "Let go of me!"
>Not until you're between her and the car.
>Okay
>NOW you can let go
>>The child huffs and scrunches at you, forelegs crossed. "I'll tell mommy-"
"Tell her what? That you ran off and I had to stop you from hurting yourself?"
>>"Hmmf. You weren't supposed to THINK about it!"
>Her hot shit attitude dries up quick as you lean in with a scowl.
"Remember how I said I got lots of dangerous stuff in there? The wagon herself is the MOST dangerous of all. She WILL hurt you if you try to open that door without me around."
>Technically not true, since you know she at least puts up with kids, but-
>>"But you ARE around!"
>Her horn lights up, her tongue stuck out in concentration.
>Whatever- she's young and tiny, and that handle sticks a bit-
>BEEEP! BEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEP!
>Ponies are craning out of their windows to scowl at you
>Wait you don't even have a car alarm you always said those were just a 'please steal me faster' machine
>Fuckfuckfuck
>Turn around, comfort the beast before the solar flare in her engine wakes up too much
>There we go
>The alarm fades away. Ponies shut their windows and go back to minding their own damn business.
>Alright. Now deal with-
>>Dinky is cradling her ears, eyes wet. "okayi'msorrymakeitstop!"
>Fuck
>In charge of a kid for like 10 minutes and she has tinnitus
>FUCK
>Lock the doors this time, turn around, hug her
"It'll fade, just make sure you tell your doctor this happened so they can look at your ears ok? Now, back inside, come on, don't make me drag you."
>You set off, hearing a distinct lack of following. Right as you're about to grab her by the ear, the silence corrects itself.
>>"But-"
"No. I've got stuff in there that'll burn you or put holes in you, I've got delicate machines you could break without even trying, it's not worth the risk."
>>"But Snails said he fought a ghost pirate in some big metal-"
>Stop. Turn around.
"SNAILS is an older kid, right?" She nods. "Yeah- and he was stuck in a survival situation, and he climbed in after being invited and didn't. touch. anything."
>>"He kept saying you're a hero, and I just wanted to-" she says with a pout. A pout and a genuine crack in her voice.
>Sigh
"That's sweet of you to believe him, but it's too dangerous. All I have to do is take my eye off you for a second and you could turn my errand day into an emergency room trip."
>She clams up.
>You do hear her walking in behind you, but-
>>"So... did he really fight a ghost pirate?"
"Yep. Trixie's the one who killed it, I was passed out from a stab wound covered in grave rot."
>>
>>43281916
>>"Woah I can blow my head off!? Let's go let's go let's go-"
KEK- kid no! Why?! Dinky, not like this!

Dyx is that heavy?!

>>43282002
>Wait a sec
>You stop just past the doorway, getting softly bumped from behind
"...Snails."
>>"Yeah?"
"Snails was talking about ME, not Trixie."
>>"....."
"Uh huh."
>>"He DID mention you being there... I just assumed, cuz you said you're married and-"
>Sigh
"Whatever, Dinky, just come on, let's hope your mom isn't too pi- sore."
>That beanbag is looking nice again
>Why don't you go plant your ass down over-
>>"Why would she be?"
>Again with this?
"...Awake? Why would she be asleep after..."
>Perk your ears
>If you try hard, you can just barely make out the sound of a female voice snoring
>>"Told you."
"What the-"
>>"It's her special bed. There's no waking her up until her alarm goes off, so-"
"Crap. Okay, I think I got a pack of cards in the car somewhere, or maybe- dammit I'm hungry again. STAY. HERE. I'll be right back."
>You turn around as you walk to the door, tapping on the ground for emphasis.
>The little shit actually listens. Mostly. You only have to chase her back twice before it sticks.

>Okay
>Car trunk
>Your station wagon is huge enough that you cannot open the back without magic now.
>Had her back for months and you're still not used to it.
>Trixie left your stuff in the back like usual, like 90% of her props were lashed to the roof.
>Well, nothing to it, climb in and start digging
>First off: your shotgun on the gun rack. Rack the pump a few times- oh yeah, you eject 8 shells.
>Very important that you do this first because-
>>"OOOOH WHAT'S THAT!?"
>Deep breath
>You expected this. Don't get mad, don't let her get under your skin.
>Turn around with as serious a face as you can manage.
"This? This is a portable cannon that can make your head explode. No you may not shoot it, I was only grabbing it to get the ammo out before you could come in here grabbing at stuff."
>>She scrunches, but you continue-
"Yes. Yes you ARE that predictable."
>>"HMMMF."
>Oho, a pack of twinkies!
"Here, have this, stuff your face for a bit."
>Why did you do that?
>You gave it sugar!
>Well, it shut her up for 5 seconds, plus you're having one too, and eating from a pile of old nuclear bunker sponge cakes and telling a kid they can't have any is kind of a dick move
>You are not in your hoarding-candy-from-babies phase. Yet.
>And while she's distracted, you can grab- oooh, your box of magnetized travel games
>That's even better than cards, the last thing you or Derpy needs is you teaching her kid how to play poker.

>On the way back and- of course she interrupts, but you're not stopping
>>"Where's the music box? Snails said-"
"Wired into the machine, the machine I'm NOT turning on right now cause I need to do work on the engine, and your mom was gonna help me haul it to a place where I can get under there without- argh!"
>>"Pleeeaaase-"
"Ugh- NO! Besides, all I've got is weird old nag music. I don't dig showtunes or whatever the fillies are into these days!"
>>"I hate showtunes too!"
>Aight, stop, turn around
>Stare her down
"Really."

>>43282673
>>"Miss Cheerilee took us to Canterlot once and there was a griffon band with crazy drums and fancy guitars and-"
"Get to the point, please"
>>"Uh, Snails said your music reminded him of that. Pleeeaaase? I've never heard anything like it since-"
>Fuck
>She's pulling the big wet anime eyes
>DAMMIT
>Wait a minute
>Trixie didn't fuck with your radio, you did that after-
>Did Snails hitch a ride for that entire fucking dungeon and race?
>...he DID dodge everything in the Everfree. On hoof...
>Ugh. Not worth worrying about.
>The filly in front of you continues to be sad and moist
>The twinkies in your gut are levelling your mood!
>Resistance failing!
>Fuck it! You couldn't sleep at night knowing you repressed a future music appreciator
"AUGH, alright. I guess i can run the battery without the engine... lemme write your mom a note so she doesn't freak out."
>>"But we'll be right outside!"
"It's a mom thing, stop fighting with me on this."

>Afewminuteslater.mp3
>The filly vibrates with anticipation, sinking into the colossal front passenger seat of your car
"Alright, plant your rump in that seat, if I see your horn light up we're going back inside. I mean it."
>>"eeeeeeeee"
>Key in the ignition
>Turn it clockwise two notches. Feel the buzzing in your horn- the intense magi-gnetic fields are active and aligned inside your car's battery
>>"WOAHWHATWAS-"
"Relax, that's just the sun."
>>"....WHAT?"
"Yeah, Princess Celestia gave me a piece of the sun to help fix this car. It was this whole thing. Give it a sec to warm up."
>>".....WHAAAT?"
"Okay, so technically there's not a piece of the sun sitting in there, it's more like a wind turbine that runs on two portals letting sunfire run between them. Still, same difference, there IS a piece of the sun in there right this minute."
>Dinky wheezes, mouth agape
"Yeah. Snails shoulda led with that, huh? Anyway-"
>Dig through your CDs
>Metallica? Eh
>Megadeth? Pretty good but maybe too gruesome
>Metallocalypse? Good luck explaining that

>It was a little sloppy- she was tired and writing in the dark- but even so she was committed to the bit.
>Standing there alone in the dim light, swapping pencils in and out of her mouth, lost in quiet concentration.

>Anon had asked the board, so she was answering as the board, even if it was obvious both messages were written by her, he should pretend they weren't.
>She really needed more practice though, her messages looked like they had been written by a filly.

>[did you sleep well?

>That's what she was going with. Not a reply, just a standalone query.
>He was usually awake before her, so he should see it before she gets the chance to ask him herself face to face.
>If not, she'll look stupid. Or rather 'anon' will look stupid and she will deny any involvement.
>As she cordoned off the third post and dropped the pencil back with its comrades, 'Mare finally made the move towards her room.
>You know, those pencils have been in his mouth.
>...Thanks brain.
>They've been doing this for weeks and that thought was only coming through now?
>She passed the threshold and started easing her bedroom door shut with her head after catching and nudging it with her snoot.

>Would not want to be a germaphobe here, that's for sure. Unless you were a Unicorn. Then you never had to put anything into your mouth that you weren't consuming.

"Nope. Final answer, if I catch you taking anything apart I'm going to hit you."

"Neither is having no respect for others' property or personage. Did Celestia never teach you ethics?"

>She makes no attempt to hide her craning over to look at you, then at Dinky-
"What? Derpy's helping me so I'm watching her for a bit."

>Heh
"That could be fun, but I can't make any promises. There's only so many times I can say no to Trixie and a steaming hot pot of cajun goodness."
>Twilight sighs again. "I really wish you'd take better care of yourself- despite your lack of the fundamentals, you're the only pony in town who cares about esoterica."
>Fuck, she's going droopy
>"I know, I'm from a privileged background, telling a working mare how to live, just... be mindful, you DO have more friends than you seem willing to admit."

>She trails off as you levitate the box of gen-yoo-wine Twinkies at her, shaking it in offering.
"Want one or not? Oh, don't look at me like that, my car's got a piece of the sun for a heart, so that makes her a temple to the sun or something, right? You wanna see the pedigree papers too?"
>>Dinky half-shouts from beside you, "they're pretty good! Little bit stale but who cares?"
>Twilight considers. SERIOUSLY considers, but snaps out of it and shuffles away for the cafe. "Nope, nope, I shouldn't fill up on- that is- er- I'll see you later!"
"Bye."

>Derpy's front door creaks open
>Derpy herself is up and squinting at the note you left on the living room wall. Her ear flicks as you walk in- "Oh, perfect timing! Well, I'm ready, but come on if you wanna see my bed..."
"Yes, yes I do."
>She puts Dinky in front of a coloring book and leads you upstairs.
>There's an energy to her, something that makes your horn tingle. Your coins vibrate near her, but don't try to run off with her. yet.
>You pass by all the usual rooms. Namely a bedroom full of toys and stuff. Bed's larger than you'd expect.
>And a storage closet with a heavily damaged... refrigerator? With a carrot painted on??
>"Don't worry about that- this way!"
>A heavy oak door with... hard rubber fixtures? Okay...
>Derpy paws at her leg. "She wasn't too much trouble, was she?"
"Dinky? A little-"
>She sighs and droops. "Anon you don't have to lie, I know how reckless she is, just tell me what it cost and-"
"Oh no no no, she didn't break anything. I DID have to stop her from hurting herself. Twice. But I figure she's no worse than any other foals I've dealt with. Er- she might need her ears checked."
>"Why!?"
"She, uh, ran up to my car and tripped an alarm before I could stop her? Well, actually I already shoved her butt to the ground..."
>"Aw geez, I'm sorry-"
"Nah, I saw her horn light up I just... incorrectly assumed she was too young and weak to actually do anything. Only thing that got damaged was maybe her ears, a little. Just have her ears checked at her next appointment, get one scheduled sooner if she complains about ringing, ok?"
>"...How mad, or sad, would you be if I told you that's the best foalsitting report I've ever gotten?"
>You do a double take. Derpy's embarrassment is entirely genuine. She's serious.
"I.. don't have a response to that. Except- wait, did you agree to this so you could-"
>"O-oh, I really did need the nap! I just figured I'd ask since... yeah. I'm sorry, I see how that comes off, but-"
"Okay, it's fine. No harm in asking, and, she's a sweet kid. I got too much going on to be a foalsitter but I wouldn't freak out if you needed me to watch her for an hour or two. Sometimes. But you owe me if I need help with the baby, got it?"
>"Teehee, don't threaten me with a good time! How is she?"
"Weirdly quiet for the last hour or so."
>"They do that, don't worry. Even before we're born we sorta have a sleep schedule. Welp-"
>She pushes the door open. That is solid fucking oak and you can tell it weighs nothing to her- there's no strain in her muscles, no delay to build up kinetic energy. Might as well be made of Styrofoam
>"Okay- here it is."
>

>
>"A-anon?"
"Where is it!?"
>"Right there! You're staring at it!"
>'it' is four tesla coils. Where's the cloud?
>Hmm
"Derpy."
>"...yes?"
"I don't think your bed has ANY cloud left."
>"Wha- No, I'll prove it, here-"
>>
>>43284281
>And
>She climbs into... a magnetic field?
>Yep
>The tesla coils are making some fucked up electromagnetic field, and Derpy just climbed into it like it's a hammock
>She shudders and makes noises in the key of minor discomfort- "So, oof, yeah, the part of my brain that regulates magic distribution got.. smushed. So I- I said, I GOTTA SLEEP ON THIS THING, OR ON A THUNDERHEAD MOST NIGHTS-"
>Her mane is frizzing, and whatever interactions her body is having with it is... spreading the magnetism?
>Your coins ARE trying to move towards her now. They weren't doing more than shaking before.
>"SORRY ABOUT THE NOISE, THE SPA BLOWOUT MESSED WITH SOME SETTINGS-"
>What noise?
"Okay, come here!"
>"WHAAAT?"
>You roll your eyes and beckon with your foreleg, backing out of the room while she follows
"Derpy- there was no sound."
>"What? How?"
"Well- okay, there was the hum of the machine, but whatever you were hearing that was supposed to be annoyingly loud? Drowning out my voice?"
>The concern spreads across her face like a fart in church
"Yeah, I wasn't hearing whatever that was. I heard you just fine before you started yelling, too. Okay- questions."
>"Hm?"
"One, did you always have trouble with being too magnetic, or did it only start after the explosion?"
>"It got a lot worse after that, yes."
"Two, what settings did you have to mess with?"
>"Um- containment strength? I kept falling through my bed so I just turned it higher and higher and-"
>You put a hoof on her shoulder.
"Okay. I thiiiink your bed kind of dissolved when the power went out."
>"Wh- no, that can't be right, I can see my bed right there between the poles, where it's always been!"
"Derpy. Remember that I am not a cloud bed seller. I have nothing to gain from lying to you about this. I. Do. Not. See. Anything. Between. Those. Electric. Coils."
>"But you saw me sitting on it without flapping!"
"Yes, I saw you standing, sitting and laying on thin air. I think... I think you've been sleeping on a raw electromagnetic field for a few months and that's why your body is constantly static-charged...."
>"Gee, what do I do about that? I... don't think I can afford to replace it, and it's far too much money to ask you for a loan."
"Yyyyeah, no offense but I wasn't offering either. If it's some nutty specialist equipment it's probably expensive- they tend to charge a hell of a lot more for that kind of stuff... Actually, no, the coils are still good. Great even- so you really only need a new cloud, right?"
>"I... hope so?"
"Yeah, so just bug one of the weather ponies. Explain that it's medical equipment for your head injury, they've gotta be able to do something and it shouldn't cost *that* much, right?"
>"Um, I dunno-"
"Whaddya mean? Can't they just... make you a new mattress?"
>"I'm... embarrassed. Even more now that I know I've been sleeping on a broken bed this whole time!"
"Derpy, we gotta do something- I think when we got close in town hall you magnetized the IRON IN MY BLOOD!"

"Okay." You stow your measuring tape. "If you can stay about, er, 5 strides above the roof, your magnetic field will take the strain and I can drive without making the wobble worse. Assuming, of course, that you can carry that much weight."

>Yet again, the journey through town is blessedly uneventful
>It probably helps that this time, you're more on the outskirts travelling to the outerskirts where all the hippies live. And the Anonmares- huh.
>Come to think of it, you would live fairly close to Fluttershy if it were a straight shot. It's all the forest and backroads that make it feel like you're on opposite ends of town sometimes.
>Well
>Actually
>There was ONE event
>That friggin colt once again tried belly flopping onto your car, but due to the intense muffinmagnetic field between her and Derpy, the kid got pulled upwards mid-jump, overshot his target by several dozen yards and ended up wrapped around a tree
>Heh
>He's probably fine.
>Yeah his mom's in the rearview mirror, and she's like 95% pissed 5% worried. He's definitely fine.


>The cute little bridge over the cute little brook near cute little Fluttershy's cute little cottage is dead ahead
>Harry lumbers out to greet you, takes one look at the whole... situation, and gets behind the car.
"Okay, I think we got it from here, thanks Der... py-"
>She's already shooting off towards her house. Understandable, Dinky can only be left alone for so long before she ends up full of bleach or falling off a roof or something..
>Huh. Her family basically has a family history of getting hit in the head or something. How does that even-
>Impatient growling behind you. The deep kind that rattles into Remmie's hull.
"Sorry Harry, you know how I get- can you-" your world lurches forward. "Oh, you're already going, ok-"

>Sure enough, the pit is still there and it's where Harry is pushing you. Why else would you be limping back here in this thing?
>Okay
>Just
>A
>Little-
>There!
>Put her in park. Get out, get your-
>Wait, you're a unicorn, you don't need a headlamp, duh.
>Okay
>Close the door, walk around to the back. Pop the trunk for your tools-
"Thanks Harry. Uh, if you're heading back, can you ask Fluttershy where Rainbow Dash is, and if she can get some moles or something to dig a pit at my house? Cool beans."
>He stares at you while your belly stretches and squashes.
>The raised eyebrow and world-weary growl suggests he can smell how pregnant you are
"Yeah, I am. So what? I got fucked and there was a shortage of abortion drugs and now I'm just kinda committed to the idea."
>His eyes roll. You can almost HEAR it.
"Ey, it happens! Sex feels good, do bears never fuck?"
>[frustrated grunt that suggests 'are you serious?']
"Ohhh- well, I wasn't TRYING to keep it secret, it just kinda happened and now I wanna see how long it takes them to notice."
>Wait, you have no idea what's busted yet. Close the trunk you dipshit, get down there and start looking!
>You turn around and are greeted by Harry's deadpan stare
>>
>>43288242
>Nope, gonna ignore that
>Down the ramp, start poking at shit.
>Alright lessee- good news, neither axle appears bent. Bad news: now you have to look at other shit. Shocks, brakes, tires. Anything that could affect the way the wheel sits.
>FUCK
>Back up the ramp. Open the trunk. Bring out the pressure gauge. Harry is still projecting mild disdain at you.
"UGH. YES, I'm aware Fluttershy will probably figure it out. No, I don't care, this isn't some horrid secret I have to keep!"
>Crossed arms. Narrowed eyes. The bear follows you from tire to tire.
"No, seriously, I'm not gonna do something stupid. When they figure it out, they figure it out and I say yes. Like come on, how has Twilight not figured it out by now!?"
>He rubs his chin thoughtfully before nodding and snickering
"See, I knew you were cool. So, uh, I DO need to ask F-"
>Hooves on the road, approaching. Soft, soft as slippers despite their owner's firm full-body figure. Yellow.
>"Oh, Anon, how lovely, a little birdie told me Twilight called off the intervention and-"
>A very sweaty bird flies from the direction of Fluttershy's house, landing on her wing, chirping in her ear. She nods along- "Oh- uh huh. Yes. Oh my."
"What's going on?"
>"You'll be pleased to know, Rainbow Dash is tied up in my living room! What did you- um, Anon?"
>Your slightly oily face stares at her in utter... that emotion doesn't even have a word. It makes Fluttershy stop in her tracks.
>"O-oh, um, ok, I know this sounds VERY not ok, but- well, we were going to lure you to Sugarcube Corner for that intervention... I still don't know what Pinkie Pie was thinking, b-b-but Rainbow Dash was being, well, Rainbow Dash-"
"So you had to tie her up. Yeah. Makes sense. I'm not being sarcastic at all."
>Truth
>"So- er. I assume all the girls will be at the intervention anyway, since I'm... not telling them it's called off, and it was supposed to be in an hour or two, and- oh. Well, Twilight will tell them, and then they can all have a normal party, right? We could go?"
"I mean, my weight IS a problem, so maybe I don't need the temptation?"
>MOTHER LIES, TO THE ARCHON OF COMPASSION AND TO HERSELF.
>YOU DESIRE THE CREME-FILLED ECLAIRS OF MISTER CAKE. AND MAYBE SOME BAKED GOODS IF THERE'S TIME.
>"Oh, no no, of course, I'm sorry, I- er, what did you need Rainbow Dash for, exactly?"
"Derpy's got some special bed that helps with her head? And the power outages fucked it up, and she's afraid it'll cost too much to get it replaced. So, need a weather pony to pull some strings and just get her some bits of spare cloud, yeah?"
>"....Oh. That's quite simple, even I could help with that if I weren't so afraid of heights. I'll go get her right-"
>A distant crash pulls your attention to a rainbow streak shooting straight through Fluttershy's roof
>"...dang it."
"DAMN IT!"
>Fluttershy cranes her neck back at you. "Oh, Anon, it's not *that* serious. Thatched roofs are-"
"Oh, no, not that. All that was wrong was a few loose lugnuts!"

>Idiot.
>All that trouble, walking all over town, sending Trixie down alone on the damn train-
>5 minutes with a socket wrench.
>Oh well- you DID help Derpy. Count this day as a win.
>"Um- Anon? Hello? I'm sorry to interrupt your usual train of thought, but-"
"Huh!? Oh- yeah. I'm mad because the only thing that's wrong was something I coulda fixed in 5 minutes-"
>Fluttershy starts to ask, but-
"And I checked that specific thing last."
>"Oh. Yes, I've done that before. You don't want to know how much Angel Bunny cost me in vet bills only to have a rock under his cushion."
"Yeeesh."
>"Yes. So- um. Rainbow Dash is probably heading for Sugarcube Corner, so-"
"Yep, I oughta head there. I'll be by later, need to bring this girl home. Uh, seriously though, I could really use some help digging a work pit under my garage."
>"Oh. Um. Okay?"
"...I'm uh- I could use the help of-"
>"Anon, the moles don't really do contract work, sorry."
"Then what is my car straddling right now!?"

>
>
>
>Yeah. That was Winona, you bribed her with a car ride.
"...Crap. And Applejack is probably gonna..."
>"Going to be at Sugarcube Corner, yes."
"And I should ask her first because it'd be really weird to go steal her dog for an hour without telling her."
>"Um. Yes, I believe that would be best."

>Tools are packed, wheels are triple-checked, Harry gives you a push to make sure-
>Yep. Wobble's gone.
>Keys in, engine on, windshield wipers make a slow, impossibly high arc-
"Hey, don't roll your eyes at me, it's not like you tried to tell me what was wrong!"
>[staticky warble]
"Whatever. I'll make it up to you, you know I will. Soon as I can find some lime green paint and flower stencils we'll fix you up like we did that one Halloween, ok?"
>[Knocks and pings]
"No, you can't have gasoline, I don't think it even exists here! We'll figure something out."
>Gear in first. Slowly pull out of-
>"Um, Anon? Hello?"
>Sigh. Roll the window down.
"What?"
>"Um- I saw you struggling with your weight even now. Please keep your promise and take your health seriously."
"I will."
>"Ok."
"Great. Bye."

Aw mare, the joke is funny with Twilight but making Fluttershy worry for no reason feels bad. And why do I feel like Anonmare IS going to do something stupid? No, no... I'm sure everything will be fine.

>Back down the road from Fluttershy's, turn...
>Stop. Scratch your head. Been a while since you went directly to Fluttershy's.
>North? North.
>This dirt road goes all around Ponyville's eastern perimeter, separating the town from the forest and a few outlying farms.
>Just gotta hug the road.

>Slow and steady, you roll along towards your home
>Much as you love driving, it's kind of annoying dodging ponies and going so slow
>Not to mention, pregnancy or not, Twilight's right. You do need to walk more.
>
>You are rolling
>You will have rolled
>A few minutes, half a mile or so pass by.
>AAAAAAND guess who?
>You have a young visitor splayed on your windshield!
>His mother gives you the puppy dog eyes outside. A baby sleeps in her left saddlebag.
>Ugh. Fine. Window down-
"Yeah?"
>"Uh- you wouldn't happen to be going to the cow barn, would you? I need milk-" she shakes an empty jug for emphasis.
"You're in luck, that's... kiiiiind of on the way? I can get you within an eighth of a mile without leaving the road. Get in, don't touch any buttons, this wagon's alive and she bites."
>Some awkward jostling and climbing ensues, but you get her in the front seat.
>"Er- hold on-" leaning out the window, she shouts at her son- "BUTTON MASH YOU GET IN HERE!"
>>"No!"
>"What did you say, young sta-"
>Alright
>Well, kid's splayed right in front of you, gonna be hard to drive with him there.
>You flick the wipers on, watching them push him out of the majority of your vision.
>Button's mother stares at you agape as you nonchalantly drive forward, at a slightly more careful crawl than before.
"What? Kid can run faster than we're going, you're acting like I held him at knifepoint or something. Yeesh."

>Button's dumb little propeller beanie spins in the gentle breeze
>His mom sits, sweating nervously, giving you askew glances whenever you talk to Remmie
>Her baby's... actually, might be the quietest baby alive. Small miracles and what not.
>The same can't be said for your baby, who has decided your innards are now an obstacle course.
>She's not even kicking hard, she's just... running in place!? GAWD that feels weird
>"Little one acting up?" Cream Heart (is that her name?) asks.
"...YehaHA-ugh. It's not the kicks that bother me-"
>"It's all the constant movement, yeah I had that too. It'll be worth it, trust me." She nuzzles her infant for emphasis.
"You sure?" You say with a nudge towards Button Mash licking your- "HEY, QUIT LICKING MY WINDSHIELD!"
>"BUTTON MASH!"
"Miss, you uh- he might get sick. This wagon has literally- no, LITERALLY, torn through a shark and I'm still not sure I got it all out."
>"GahWHA- BUTTON MASH! STOP THAT! FISH IS NOT ON YOUR DIET, LITTLE STALLION!"
>Underneath the hilarity and indignity, you ARE feeling a little wistful
>Wistful enough to rub your stomach with your free hoof
>Yep, you no longer have to stretch to grab the wheel, you can sit comfortable and steer with one leg if you have to.
>Still need magic to push the pedals (Remmie cannot be trusted to manage her own speed in town right now)
>Only downside is you basically installed a high chair in the driver's seat and that makes you feel ridiculous
>Fucking tiny horse body.

>The Aestern Apple Annex Aorchard comes into full view and you're reminded of how Applejack's family owns like half the town
>And yet, you recall her planning to spend the fanciest party of the year just selling carnival food for medical bill money.
>How!?
>Well- what was it? Hip replacement?
>Ooooh. That means hypoallergenic materials. Like titanium. Yeah, Equestria's health insurance system might be one of the best in the multiverse but it's not immune to supply and demand.
>Fuckin' hell, good luck with that.

>The road winds around a few more trees and the gigantic barn where the cows come home is dead ahead, though much farther than it appears
>Ooop, you recognize your handiwork- that gazebo you built for the cows is on the roadside, about a hundred yards ahead
"Here we go-"
>There's metal cans stacked behind a couple cows, manning a register, and a milking machine nearby for good measure.

>The car rolls to a gentle stop in the shadow of the gazebo, the gazebo itself on your right. You're particularly proud of how you set it up so it shields at least a few customers in line from the sun.
>The two salescows don't notice your vessel docking- likely due to the loud, tinny music coming out of a player you can't see from your road-borne throne. And the back issues of Chewin' the Cud (a harmless gossip and anecdote rag) blocking their eyesight.

>Past Cream Heart, the cows begin to stir. Ears flick. Bookmarks are put in dog-eared magazines. The tinny music cuts out and eyes lock onto you-

>Wood floors?

>They woulda had to clear land for this! That alone shoulda taken the day!

You are a bearer of Harmony, and a skilled craftspony and warrior on top of that, so I arranged for you to have a proper workspace, one I know will be remembered as the envy of any wizard's tower in ages yet to come... The only problem being that you hadn't left your home long enough to enact my plan in months!

Celestia and Luna being consistently fucking useless is probably my biggest pet peeve with the canon stories. They deserve better; I can buy them not being good at fighting because if they die, the whole world will die with them or unicorns will be sacrificing their magic, but ffs they barely even get to be good governors or wizards either.

>Huh. The pony up ahead is wearing stripes- is that a prisoner on work release? Kinda-
>Yep. There's a uniformed guard holding a chain.
>Oh shit it's that bitch! The one who threw a brick at you!

Wasn't expecting her! DANGER! Uncomfortable social interaction approaching!

>>43300054
>The guard starts to help her out of her collar before stopping himself.
>>"Dammit, Saucy, fool me once shame on you. Fool me a fifth time, shame on me!"
>"It's hot out here!"
>>"No it ain't!? Y'know what- fine! Hold still, I'll just cut your uniform off. B-but you're paying for it!"
>Suppress the laugh! Suppress the laugh! Just walk by!
>>The guard, a grayish stallion in an admittedly snazzy blue uniform, snaps to attention at your approach. "Ma'am, stay clear, this mare's a-"
>"I DIDN'T DO IT! YOU GOTTA HELP ME, I'VE.... been.... framedohshit." She trails off as she registers your identity. "Hay do you want!?"
"Relax, ya bitch, I'm just on my way into town, just like I was last time! What's she in for, officer?"
>>He clears his throat and rattles off in a practiced voice: "Ahem. 'Convict Saucy Secrets, disgraced town councilmare-'"
>"IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY!?"
>>"..Fine. 'FORMER town councilmare, convicted of one count assault with a comedic weapon with intention to brain them rightly.' Don't ask me, some of the laws might've been written by Princess Luna BEFORE her banishment. Anyway- sentenced to 3 months imprisonment and community service."
>>Do, er, you two know each-" He squints in suspicion, peers at you, gently lifts your saddlebag to look at your cutie mark- "OH GEEZ, my mistake Your Grace-"
>"YOUR GRACE!?"
"Ayup- apparently I do have a rank, the princess just had a lot of stuff to deal with."
>>"Well, sorry ma'am, didn't mean to trouble you-"
>>>"HEY MA, WHAT'RE WE DOIN' FOR DINNER?" Snails is apparently shoveling ditches. Poor guy- hey, why not- "Oh hey miss Lulamoon! Um- er- uh-"
>>The guard gets between you and the work crew, his brass buttons glinting in the sunlight. "Now, don't go making your sentence worse by troubling your betters, boy! Just get back to work, I'll tell you when you're done for the day."
>Oof
>That sucks
>>"Don't mind him, he helped wreck the town, but the crown's lenient on-"
"Hey, uh, can you let Snails off for good behavior? He did help save the town once, that's gotta count for something, right?"
>The guard's face screws up in confusion; Snails lights up
>>"Well- you mean, he wasn't lying about that?"
"Well I was incapacitated, but my wife said that- yeah, he led them out of the tunnels. Ponyville might've sunk entirely into those sinkholes if we hadn't gotten through when we did."
>Out of the corner of your eye, you catch Snails light up. No, like he's practically glowing like God Himself told him he was a cool dude.
>>"Hmmmmmm, well- his sentence is almost up, but I can't just let him go even for you. Tell you what, you come up with some chores for him to do and I can release him into your custody tomorrow."
>Ooooh
>Yikes
>Goddammit, you can't back out now, just look at him!
>His eyes are as big and wet as a baby filly's!
"...Yeah, actually, I do need some stuff moved around, just make sure he doesn't get there without me watching him."
>>>"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU-"

"Hold on there, little dude, Trixie's out of town for now. And I ain't kidding- I got stuff I need done. Furniture and tools moved around. I might go easy on you but you're still gonna be doing shit, especially if I'm, like, legally required."
>>>"Hey, it can't be worse than shoveling poop and mud! I'll take it!"
>Oh. Oh GOD that's what that smell is!
"Yeaaah, just make sure you shower REAL good-"
>Saucy Secrets gets all huffy. "NOW HOLD ON A MINUTE, HE IS STILL MY-"
>>>"Shut up! You're not my real mom! I'm going to live with-"

>>"Sorry you had to hear that, Your Grace. Now, if you don't mind-"
"Yeah, I got stuff to do today. Uh, do you know if the spa is open by any-" you can see the laugh building up before it comes. "Now I know the pool and the saunas are shot, but damn I could use a backrub or something is all!"
>>"Mmm. I think they've got little tubs ready, but that's just to fulfil their obligations as a public bathhouse. I don't believe they're taking paying customers yet."
"Dang it."
>>"Indeed. It's a loss for the whole town, why, nopony can get my buttons or my hooves as shiny as Aloe can. WELL- I think it's best if you're on your way- I'll bring the boy by tomorrow, sparkling fresh. There'll be some papers to sign but nothin' too ornery."

>Previously, we watched a battle-scarred and determined specimen of the Anonymous Equinius species set out for, uh, let's call it spawning grounds?
>This mare never reached Ponyville. In her place, a sagging gremlin caked in sweat, with leathery folds of skin half-crawls onto Mane Street
>Indeed, it's as if Anonmare was turned into some kind of horrific basset hound hybrid, such was the weight of her sweat and hubris.
>Her stance is unsteady, her legs wobbling, ready to buckle. Many times she considers falling forward and dragging herself along with only one set of legs, but-
>What's this?
>The creature's distended gut is not from starvation- as the thoughts of surrender play out on her face, her belly squirms almost pleadingly, and her eyes fill with guilt, then determination
>Alas, nature is cruel, and a recent disaster has driven the majestic drinking fountain extinct. She will not make it to her destination-
>Wait.
>Look right there-
>In the crowd of lesser equines, circling the fruit stands like wolves, one can just make out the distinctive crest of Bloomius Buysomeapples, accompanied by her herd.
>Yes. Fresh off a successful hunt, it seems, for an unfortunate Purple Smartynanas is bouncing and shrieking nonsense. "Yesyesyesyes-"
>But the herd of juveniles is not sated. They spy the stricken mare-
>Oh dear. They are approaching. Parents with young children may need to cover their eyes-
>The fillies are arguing, demanding the predator's attention, do they not recognize the danger?
>Even in this state, an Anonmare is easily a match for most yaks, just look how she blinks her eyes one at a time!

>Oh the equinity, the apple creature insists on provoking her! "'Ey, Anon, y'alright there? Ya look like Applejack had ya out in th'field fer-"
>>The Pollo Locomoto tries to fight for dominance, lead the herd to easier prey- "No no no! Apple Bloom, we're looking for RAINBOW DASH! Not-"
>Denied. "Can it, Scootaloo, ah can't tell if she's sick or sumthin'!"
>>>"She DOES look, uh... really not good-" Ah, the Swibble Juiceburnus, who-
>>>"Yeeeah, hear that? She's blinking funny and babbling to herself about a... Huh. Sounds like one of Miss Cheerilee's crummy nature lectures?"
>>"All the more reason to get RAINBOW DASH, who else could help her faster!?"
>"QUIET! Nah, she does this sometimes. She'll come ready to work all day an' forget water, n'then AJ sends me out with a pitcher and she's right as rain. Hol' on a sec, Miss Anon, ah always carry-"
>The apple horse attempts to bargain, to pack bond, with a canteen of apple juice as an offering.
>Anonmare sniffs. Once. Twice. Oh dear, the snarl, is she-
>The juice is gone. Miraculously, the mare is rehydrating before our very eyes!

>Be Anonmare, not fucking talking to yourself like a cartoon character in a giant desert anymore
"Woah. Thanks kid. How long was I-"
>"Ah dunno. Least about as long as ya been in town?"
"Crap. I really need to carry water."

>"Mmmfmmfffff-PTOOO!"
>>>"EWWWW! Why did you SUCK ON MY LEG!?"
>Huh. What was that rustling sound behind you?
>Apple Bloom snatches her canteen back, washing her mouth out with the last dregs. "Got yer leg out mah mouth, didn't it? And you don't even know what-"
>>>"Uh huh I do!" She leans in, conspiratorially, side-eyeing you as she whispers to Bloom- "youweregonnacallherfat!"
"You know you're not whispering nearly as quiet as you think you are, right?" You say with an eye roll
>>>"What!? There's no way you-"
"Heard you tell her not to call me fat. Yes I did hear- and for the record, I am fat and thank you for reminding me, I need to take better care of myself."
>The three fillies stare at you, mouths open in horror
"What?"
>They mutter, stutter in unison- "she really CAN see Sideways!"
>Oh. That explains that.
"Uh huh. Sure- Look I got places to be, thanks for the juice, I can buy you one at Sugarcube if you wanna wait what what WHAT!?"

"Know...what?"

>Oh. That.
>(hehehehehehehehehe)
"Wh- NO! I mean, YES I can see where she's hiding, but it's not some dark magic or future sight! I can just see her!"
>Hairs on the back of your neck are standing up. A small crowd is gathering, staring, murmuring. Just like at the orphanage-
>Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfudon'tpanic-
>Apple Bloom puffs her chest out. "Okay- ah just saw Pinkie Pie bouncin' around and now ah can't. Where is she- and more importantly, what do you-"
>OHHH
>That's what that giggling is-
>And that pair of baby blue eyes blinking innocently in a bush to your right
>The eyes you are now staring directly at
"Do you- like, I'm looking right at her!"
>>"Nuh uh!"
"THE BLUE EYES! IN THE BUSH!"
>hehehehehei'minsneakmodeAnon!
"She's giggling about sneak mode!"
>The fillies continue to stare in a mix of fear, wonder, and sympathetic cringe for the crazy mare making a scene
"D'oh- LOOK!"
>You stuff a hoof into the bush and pull out a very pink, very picrel Pinkie Pie. "'Sup, 'non?" she says, with an innocent blink.
>Compared to the last time you sussed her out, she's neither startled or offended. The casual, fuck-me-french-mare smile suggests she wanted this all along.
>>>Scootaloo cries out- "No way! Even Rainbow Dash can't- how did you do that!?"
"What part of I CAN SEE HER POKING HER EYES OUT, AND GIGGLING, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!? Look-"
>You shove Pinkie back into the bush. "Wheeeee!"
"Alright. I have put her back in the bush. Now-" you motion for silence and point directly at Pinkie's bright-ass eyes. "Right there!"
>"Um-" Apple Bloom cocks her head. "Well, ah believe you- I DID see ya put her back in the bush, but-"
>>
>>43302254
>>"We don't see squat!" Scootaloo snorts out, folding her forelegs in a pout even as she squints at the bush
>(Now I'm whispering really loud! They still can't hear me like you can!")
>Argh
"PINKIE, PLEASE-"
>The fillies continue to look at you like you're nuts.
>>"Okay, I'll just-" Scootaloo fishes around in the bush until she gets a honking sound and a melodious giggle. "-Yep. Pinkie is definitely in there!"
"I coulda told you that. I DID tell ya that. You SAW me fish her out and throw her back!"
>The fillies are now shaking like maracas. "CHEERILEE WAS RIGHT! YOU REALLY ARE A-"
>Not this again!
>("PSSSSST, I know you can hear me! I'll set it up so they'll leave you alone....")
>And here comes the 'if'
>("Iiiiiif you agree to talk about esoteric knowledge with me, Pinkie! Pinkie Pie, your friend, named Pinkie Pie-")
"ALRIGHT! Alright!" you shout at the bush. A pink snout snoots out the top and kisses you on the forehead.
>The crowd chuckles and disperses. Pinkie Pie being weird and annoying is just a day ending in Y, no scene to see here.
>The same can't be said for the fillies, who hug each other and continue to make festive bone music
>Pinkie jumps out of the bush with a party whistle and confetti burst, landing on all fours. "Silly fillies! Nonny isn't a witch! Even I'm not a witch and I have levels in paladin!"
>The horror turns to confusion. "Um- what!?"
>>"What's your dumb egghead game stuff got to do with this?"
>>>"Rarity specifically told me never to associate with O&O players. Something about...." Sweetie drops into a shameful whisper. "..Subpar corsets."
>Everypony takes a short break to incredulously gaze upon Sweetie Belle.
>Ok. Moment done. Back to Ponko-
"....Seriously though. What!?"
>"Well, duh- paladins are just cultists with family-friendlier patrons. Ergo, it's reasonable to think I'm a witch even though I'm not- but Nonny definitely isn't!"
>Apple Bloom scratches her head guiltily. "Yeah... Ah knew that, sorry."
>>"I didn't! What's going on!?"
>Pinkie Pie looks at you. When you return a questioning shake, she cocks her head and narrows her eyes. "Eh? Ehhhh?"
>Is she asking for permission?
"Uh- whatever? Do what you wanna-"
>"It's her special talent, dummies! Seeing stuff from funny angles! It's not evil enchantressment, it's just a shift in perspective... that she can do without having to move around at all. Or something... anyway! CUTIE MARK STORY!"
"What!?"
>The crusaders' collective attitude does an immediate 180. They crowd around you, vibrating with excitement, except Scootaloo who really wants to keep looking for-

>Even Pinkie is getting in on it. Of course. "Fair's fair- I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!"
>The five of you stand in a stalemate, but, well-
>Maybe it's the wet eyes, or your friendship, or maybe just your goddamn hormones slowly mindfucking you into a doting mother, but there's only so many wet-eyed foals you can say no to without it hurting your soul

"UGH. Fine- but, I'll warn you, I had a... rough fillyhood. And it's gonna be LONG, or it won't make any sense at all. Ya need the context."

>You sit down, rubbing your butt side to side until you're comfy
>Out of the corner of your eye you catch Rainbow, Fluttershy and Rarity sneaking towards Sugarcube Corner.
>Odd.
>Odder still is how Fluttershy's gaze lingered on your group, and didn't fully leave until you were sitting.
>But whatever.
>She's probably trying not to embarrass herself. Wants to take the intervention apart before you can go to the Corner.
>You wouldn't put it past her to be the one who organized it, actually. That's the kind of passive aggressive kindness she does when she's feeling particularly spicy.
>Hmmm
>Part of you wants to point out Rainbow Dash, but even Scootaloo is at least feigning interest now and that gives you warm fuzzies in your womb or something
>Plus you already mentally committed to this path
>No
>Not backing out now. It'll do you good to share with somepony other than Trixie, even if you have to maintain a few white lies.

Fuck you had me monologuing into spoilers for story threads I hadn't even thought of until now

But here's the part that wasn't Anon deep lore and/or would be very obvious and weird and clumsy for a psychologist to report on to a concerned orphan matron. It's disjointed 2am ramblings because it's 2am and I refuse to let this evening of autistic hyperbolic writefag chambering be for nothing.
>Cartoon stealth logic
maybe 1 in 10 cases of sneaking right in front of a guard is a genuine toon gag. Most of the time it's entirely explainable within the biology and psychology of Equestria and its past evolutionary pressures, especially the fact that most ponies have shit pattern recognition even when they're adults, and the CMCs are the equivalent of 9 year olds. (25. Scootaloo is the plucky 8 year old at 20-ish)
>Moar:
This lack of pattern recognition is partially due to prey animals reaching sapience and having much different heuristics for determining what's worth noticing, and partially due to Equestria being built on an apocalyptic wasteland where multiple despotic wizards and mad gods fucked the laws of physics and there's all sorts of cognitohazardous phenomena and monsters that kill you if you look them in the eye It was probably very advantageous for ponies to be a little too stupid to trick back then, regardless of how inconvenient it is for foals trying to spot a party pony hiding in a bush.

This is also why ponies domesticated dogs. Dogs, being highly Loyal creatures, naturally seek out sources of friendship magic. Ponies reciprocated because they now had a creature perceptive enough to lead them through danger, sensitive enough to detect curses and wards, and yet having a low enough overall IQ that they don't trip any curses or wards that target Civilized Folk. Which is all of them, unless you're the kind of rich, bored asshole who has nothing better to do than reset your defenses every time a gnat or a particularly boisterous bacterium crosses the line.
Cats are around for the same reasons humans kept them: they eat rats and they're cute

Unicorns having a disproportionately high rate of villainy probably has a little something to do with them being the tribe with a unique sixth primary sense; Earth ponies frequently exhibit psychic phenomena, but it's filtered through their normal senses and they have to just learn what the patterns of hallucinations mean. Pegasi have a magnetic sense but so do most flying animals so big deal, anything powerful enough to drop the birds from the sky is likely to just break your neck anyway.
For Pinkie, her soul doesn't fit inside her body. She's got waves of energy that function like a spiderweb or catfish whiskers, but she has no biological method of parsing raw magical data like a unicorn can. Instead she gets vague vibes and patterns of involuntary twitches and phantom pains she's learned to decode.
>>
>>43303999
>>43303758
>Derpy's injury and why she's Celestia's personal courier despite having an injury that ended her military career and caused permanent neurological damage, actually does have underlying reasons and lore. Derpy was not lying when she said her magnetic sense is all but shot, nor was Celestia lying or mistaken when she told Anon that Derpy basically cannot get lost. Like ever. If she's not dead, she WILL eventually get where she's intending to go.

>Unicorn sixth sense
Forgot to put that basically they had an entirely new sense that could be hit with harmful data. Other tribes do have a magic sense but it's heavily filtered through conventional physical senses, which makes them far less susceptible to the pony equivalent of cyberware zip bombs and brown note emitters. Unicorns, however, have the advantage of being far better able to face capital-H Horror and keep standing. If you've got the fortitude to face one down at all, it's far better to just fight through the raw static than to have to cope with every single move the enemy makes triggering involuntary reflexes due to your inability to perceive the static directly

>I will be stealing that for a future story because I had no idea how a certain season premiere someone could threaten Anon without stooping to crude violence, and forcing her to be part of the insanity funhouse is more fun to write than trying to figure out how to ass pull one of them miraculously surviving a game of rocket tag.

I knew how to talk, I had a... let's say vaguely correct early education, but uh... nothing else important.

I feel bad for Anon, rough way to make it to Equestria.
>Wait, you were only 30!?
It's really strange to think that 30-year-old fillies are canon here, kek. Also a strange wording, I assume it's meant to be more like:
>Wait, only when you were 30!?
At least that'd be the response I'd expect, otherwise it sounds like "le actually you should only form memories upon reaching age 100".
This bit makes me feel like I missed something (I did miss a few chunks of story), is it that ponies age mentally and physically slower than people or that the Equestrian year is shorter? It's like how the OC I made 14 years ago is the same effective age now as when I made him, due to being a fictional cartoon pony.

Looking forward to more of this flashback segment.
>>
>>43304881
I always assume ponies age slower than humans, based on Granny Smith being at least 200 years old according to Family Appreciation Day. Tribe, personal health and family history all affect how fast you age, but generally speaking it's widespread accepted that 40 year olds are old enough to join the family business and travel unaccompanied within reason (Applejack going to her aunt's house, for instance);
You're Adult Enough at age 50 and are expected to start properly contributing to society at that point, but you still have conditional protections until age 60-70 like you can't be kicked out of your parents' house without good reason, though plenty of ponies just live together for generations anyway and only move out when they get married and their siblings complain about the loud sex.

Judging by Applejack in the family reunion episode, we might assume ponies have a short infancy too. Or, at least, it's no longer than a human's. She was barely bigger than the cake twins but speaking coherently, even if it was just to beg for more fried dough, but I haven't thought that much ahead. Probably should lock it down and say yes, since there's going to be a Fillier Anon soon.

>Wait you were only 30
Yeah you had the right of it- they were meant to be shocked in the same way you'd be shocked that someone told you they forgot everything from before age 10-12, not being surprised that they remembered being a baby. I'll edit the future ponepaste document right now.

>Hoof. You're patting a hoof against the underside and imagining a limb you no longer have is doing a motion you can no longer do.
>More flailing. A furry green leg emerges.
>Yep
>You're... a pony
>You used to dream about something like this happening, but that was years ago
>Right
>Okay
>You're a tiny female horse and some nurse horse is staring at you staring at your leg.
>You're a fucking filly anon. Okay. Of fucking course. Why not.
>So you just have to find Twilight and explain the situation, right? That's how this crap always goes... Least when she isn't the one who did it.
>You didn't piss her off and get bodied so hard you forgot, did you?
>Don't panic. Look around-
>Okay. You're in a cheap, but not-too-cheap bed. Duh. Sheets are... damp and stained. You most definitely bled on something, and likely pissed or shit yourself at some point too, but they've been cleaning you while you slept.
>No IV drip. Bottles on the bedside and a silver spoon.
>Hard to tell what they are- the room is dimly lit, it's night outside and raining, the hallway is equally dim and there's pockets of darkness between. The pony you heard call out is alternating between looking frantically down the hall and peering in at you.
>Bandages, rags in a bucket. Sudden awareness of stiff fabric around your neck. Your wound carried over? Maybe you didn't technically die, then?
>No. Again, some unmistakability rises up. You did.
>Besides, the pain is in a different spot. Details of your last fight become clearer. Get forced on you-

>Stopped at a railroad crossing. Some punk in army surplus rags swaggers up with a machete-
>Arrogance. For too long you assume he can't get in- and then the winder shatters while you're reaching for your pistol.
>Gates are down, shifter is in park, can't drive off, can't even afford the time to-
>COME ON WHERE IS IT- WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEA-
>Just as you get a grip on it, a bloody hand manages to work the door lock.
>You hold up a leather jacketed arm- hoping to turn the blade aside, parry it or something, knock it away by the flat, but the fucker is a better fencer than he has any right to be.
>This shithead, in a cheap field jacket stained with cum and cheap beer, pulls off some goddamn mordhau feinting type shit and whips his machete in such a way that your arm bounces the blade right near your neck.
>The memory is in slow-mo now. You watch as this filthy, wild-eyed copper thief lunges forward as he swipes, giving his wrist enough clearance to finish the blow as your hand tries to block him.
>>
>>43305627
>And across your neck it goes.
>It's almost funny. Hope God's laughing enough for the both of you.
>Pain, hot fluid, the shift of gravity as you're pulled out and dumped on the road. But your grip on the pistol stays tight-
>Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam- you fire while he's still facing outwards, trying to sit down
>Red spurts out of his chest, and all over the interior windshield as he slumps down.
>And floors it. Right as the train arrives.
>And now your car is in three separate counties.
>Oh it stopped hurting already. Welp. Exit, stage left.
>Hey, is that a rainb-

>The flashback ends. Sensation of a monkey body faded to nothing, then suddenly: Horse. Just like when you woke up the first time.
>You are. A horse.
>Horse horse horseHORSE- JA JA JA-
>What were you thinking about?
>Should you be breathing this fast? Where's that ringing coming from-
>Ringing. Blood roaring. Wound- right. The wound. You were killed by a horizontal slash to the throat. This pain is more on the side, radiates up a bit into your cheeks. Whatever happened to this body, it wasn't a crackhead serial duelist-carjacker or whatever the absolute fuck that guy was.
>God DAMMIT, if the last landsknecht was gonna murder you he could've at least done you the courtesy of wearing the clown pants and pimp hat!
>Ears flick. Sound. Sound from somewhere else- something to focus on.
>The nurse is whispering to someone behind her
>It melds into murmurs in your ears, even though she's whispering really really loud-
>If you could just focus on it- come on! There's no reason you shouldn't be able to just listen!
>Clip clop
>CLIP CLOP- the doctor(?)'s hooves get really loud, really fast, but he's not stomping as he approaches you.
>Well, of course, you have horse ears now.
>And a horse nose, you assume.
>"Hello? HELLO? Young filly, I need to-"
>Ears flick. Eyes screw. The doctor sighs, turns back to the nurse. Whispers in that weird way again.
>The FUCK is he even doing!?
>And why is this FUCKING blanket still on you!?
>ARGH
>It won't grip! Of course it won't grip! You ain't got no FINGERS! AUGH!
>Wait
>What's happening now? What's glowing? There's- you remember this, that's magic! There's magic-
>Touching you.
>The doctor's horn is giving off some vague light and her face is all screwy in concentration.
>She's trying to touch you. Is touching you.
>Well that won't do.
>Huh
>Now that you're staring at your leg, you can almost feel your hands. Phantom pain or something- great. Just great.
>Are you gonna have phantom pain for your bad back? Or your dick? You know you're still missing THAT, right?
>AUGH.
>You can almost feel your old body ripping the-
>Somehow, someway, you throw the blanket at her. The sensation ceases, the doctor flails for a bit, then she backs off. Victory...?
>No. She keeps backing up, eyeing you, to what she assumes is a safe distance.
>>
>>43305631
>She whispers to the nurse, still in the hallway, again. More murmuring. What the FUCK!? Your ears are definitely more sensitive, why can't you-
>"Patient is panicked and magically active! Get a ring!
>Wait
>Wait wait wait
>She just said you were afraid and dangerous. It took you a second to parse it, but it did get through.
>But she's acting like that statement is at least... kind of private?
>What the fuck?
>Having a mystery to latch on to calms your nerves.
>Two mysteries, actually- is that doc a chick or a dude? Now that you've really heard their voice, it sounds too husky to be a chick and too flamboyant to be a guy. Unless he's a fruitcake maybe. Above all else, it's familiar. You've heard it before, in a movie or something.
>Just assume she's female. You can apologize if you get it wrong later.
>Them whispering in the hall is making you paranoid. You gotta find some way to dodge the straitjacket! Speak! Say something!
"I'm sohwryeee- I don-"
>What the FUCK is that accent!? Are you drunk?
>Doc narrows her eyes, leering from the hallway. The nurse wears a mask of astonishment.
"I don-no whar oy ahm-"
>The doctor visibly calms, which calms you far more than you want to be right now. More whispering-
>Wait
>What's she doing?
>Something about how she's fidgeting. Was she doing that before?
>She turns back to you. The meaning never comes- you were too busy watching her movement. Idiot!
> "Alright, little filly, you're in a safe place."
>She speaks condescendingly slow, in that sickly sweet tone that's scientifically engineered to not sound condescending to kids who don't know better. You DO know better-
"Ammm not dumb, donnn take dat tone wif me!"
>Shocked eyes
>You fear reprisal, but no. The nurse glares at the doctor, shakes her head when the doc lifts a front leg.
>>She walks out of the shrouded hallway. Speaks in some vaguely Irish accent. No clue what part, just Ireland. "You're in a safe place, dear. Nopony here wants to hurt you, the doctor was just worried you'd start bleedin' on us again if ya kept foightin'."
>>Another harsh look at the doc in the hallway. "Don't mind Doctor Frank n Furtive-"
>Frank N. Furter. Rocky Horror Picture Show- classic American trash movie. That's where you heard that voice. So your doctor is... a vampire transvestite from outer space?
>No. That's retarded. You're retarded.
>Why yes, yes you ARE accepting of being a female pony child but drawing the line at fruity alien vampires. Thanks for asking!
>What was going- er- doing? We? What were you doing-
>>"Um. Miss? MISS? Oh no- DOCTOR! Unresponsive!"
>Blink and Doctor Fruitcake's looming over you, staring into your eyes. She's female- her muzzle, something about her scent too? Your guts- your new guts, insist this is correct.
"Um- wha?"
>"Oh. Good- Patient remains responsive." Strange sounds. Strange light. Gentle prodding at your neck- "Neck lacerations have not reopened, bandages are good for another night."

"-So uh. Yeah. Earliest hard memory. Woke up in an orphanage. Pretty sure my... uh... family caravan was attacked right before, but even that's-"
>"Waaaait, you said you didn't remember anything before-"
"It's the earliest concrete memory, I said! I still got bits and pieces from before that, just nothing they could use to find any relatives, alright!?"
>"Well why can't we just skip to the cutie mark!?"
"Cuz cutie mark stories always have A Lesson, don't they? That's what cutie marks ARE- you learn a lesson about YOURSELF. And mine was, eh, pretty hard-won. I was a real fucker as a foal."

"Nono ahm- jus'- ever'thing- eh-"

"..Feelsh out offf plashe. Pls no dock-"
>She sighs. "...Aye, she makes that impression on most ponies, love. But she wouldn't keep her job if she hurt foals on purpose, and believe me, oi watch 'er like a hawk."

>"Darlin', don't tell me you forgot you're a unicorn?" Right. The nunse has been watching you.
"....Fffforgot lotsa stuff I tink."
>Another heavy sigh. "Well, at least you didn't forget words, even if your mouth ain't cooperatin', roight? Come on- let me help, in case you forgot how ta walk too."
>Solstice comes around to the right of your bed, lowering her head to the mattress's height. "Alright, flip over onta moy neck, I'll make sure you don't fall over- don't worry, I can't poke ya in the belly!"
>You comply, letting your tiny little body flop onto her head and neck. Your legs stop you from tipping forward or backwards and she lowers herself too fast for you to roll down her back.
>Alright

>Aaaand

>How does that work?
>Maybe feeling your legs moving the right way cleared the cobwebs out?
>Who knows.

>Solstice leads you out and down the hall. Much like the room, it's drab and clinical but not entirely uncozy.
>It's clear and quiet, except for a couple foals she shoos away.
>"Give the girl some space! Off with ye! Yer not supposed to be millin' about the infirmary, anyway!"
>They skedaddle while you continue onwards.
>Up ahead- the bathroom looms
>It goes swimmingly
>As in well, not as in a joke about you falling in
>"Done? Good- now, you'll hate me for this, but ye can't eat until we run some tests and file some papers. We can do it back in the room-"
>You find it hard to protest, somehow.
"Mmmm mouf doff feel werd."
>"Aye, not sure if that's a funny accent or some nerve issues, but Furtive has spells to check that."
>Nerve damage?
>Fuck, that'd be just your luck. End up a horse with stroke paralysis or something.
>No, no, you're walking crazy good.
>Aaand back to your bedside. Doc Furtive is already there, with a pencil and clipboard and a bandana tied around her muzzle.
>Solstice hoists you onto the bed where you now loaf. After sitting down herself, she begins- "Alroight. First order of business- we never got your name, love."
>Hm
>Er-
>Oh, their faces are turning to horror, this could be bad, say something!
"A-a-anon?"

How delightful but why is she wearing a tank top
>>
>>43311416
You know I've seen her in a tank top a few times and I always assumed it was to give her the trailer park deadbeat slob aesthetic or something like that. I've never like, questioned the philosophical implication. Maybe she's one of the ones who feels self conscious about not wearing anything despite being a horse, and used to wear them as a hooman, so it's something familiar to wear instead of a cute pony outfit, and probably much cheaper.
>>
>>43310376
>Your confused look asks the question long before the words reach your mouth.
>"Ah, don't moind the doctor. Idle talk, and *unnecessary talk.*" Solstice glares at Doc Furtive, who's still scribbling with her magic.
>>"Alright, name: Anonymares-" Doc turns the clipboard around. "Is that spelled correctly?"

>Huh. Anonymares- the S is silent, apparently. Nothing else to it, you shrug and nod weakly.
"Yu don tink is a silly name?"
>Both of them scoff. "'Course not! S'a beautiful name. Old one too, from when Prench and Minoan were practically the same language...." At Furtive's pointed coughing, she continues: "Whot? Oi read odds 'n' ends fer fun, sue me!" she glares at the doctor's raised eyebrows.
>>"Young filly, did your sire or-" Furtive yelps as Solstice kicks her in the leg. and whispers- "are ye daft!? askin' a filly in an ORPHANAGE after her parents!?
>>"We're- HNG!" She magicks the bandana off and speaks more clearly. "We're trying to interview the patient! I'm well aware my bedside manner isn't winning any Gourmand Stars, but can we PLEASE be professional here!? SOMEPONY has to ask the questions that might make a filly cry, and EVERYPONY's glad to put it all on Doctor Furtive's-"
>"Oh oi'm so sorry, how dare I be mindful of my charges' fragile little hearts-"
>They argue back and forth until-
"Ahem?"
>Ah, you tut-tutted a nun. Satisfying.
>"Sorry love. Should'ne be doing this here- roight, you were askin' after yer name...Literally, it means Unknown/Nameless Ocean. "
>You shrug. Not the weirdest pony OC name you've ever heard, but maybe your ears gave something away as Solstice races to deflect your fears. Damn things have a mind of their own!
>"Oh, it's not like that! Often it's taken to mean 'She-Who-Sails-Across-Dark-Waters.' Ain't that pretty?"
>Kinda cool, sure, but all you can do is cock your head and squint or something. Like, ok, how do you respond to-
>>"If I may-" Furtive bends beneath Solstice's practiced judgmental stare, but does not break. "The first recorded instance of the name was the very captain who took Unicornia's refugees from the forbidden north. For the longest time, historians assumed it referred to the captain being unrecorded but no- her name was a bit of a pun that only lands if you assume she was forgotten first.... Quite typical of early Unicorn linguistics, especially any circles Clover the Clever frequented."
>Solstice mirrors your look directly at Furtive. You'd swear she was smirking though.
>>"Harrumph. I'll have you know my family can trace its lineage to Princess Platinum's retinue- and yet I'm here working for the disenfranchised, I do NOT need-"
>"Yeah, yeah. Alroight, let's get this done so we can all be somewhere nicer. I do apologize- ta both o' ye, now-"

>>This time, Furtive is the one to cut her off. "I remarked to you in private that she had a distinct Prench appearance. Not unlike MYSELF, might I add!
>"I just-"
>>"YOU are the one implying that she would be worrying about it! Forgive me, I was under the impression that we shouldn't be putting such ideas in young fillies' heads to begin with?"
>Solstice clams up, shuts up. "She... she's right. Oi'm sorry, Anon, forget all of that, please."
>>Furtive huffs and chuffs a bit but gets back to her clipboard shortly, with a renewed mask of professional meh. "Alright, name: Anonymare-" Doc turns the clipboard around. "Is that spelled correctly?"

>Wha-
>Weird geometric shapes.
>It seems ponies have a different alphabet. Okay, don'tpanicdontpanicdont-
>Too late. Your interlocutors share a very worried look.
>>But the doctor speaks up first. "Anon, do you not know how to read or write?"
>Hoo boy, sure is hot in here.
>"Ach, love, please, just- yes or no? It's nuttin to be ashamed of, oi can teach ye me self if needs must."
"Uh- yaes? No?"
>WHY DID YOU SAY THAT YOU ABSOLUTE COCKLESHELL?
>See- look at them! They don't believe you!
>>The doc even floats a clipboard up for you, holding it in her magic. "If you can, then, write your name out in whatever system you were taught please. Use your mouth- I don't want you taxing your magic, and I don't care about penmareship right now anyway."
>Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck
>Pick up the pencil. Wiggle it around a bit, test your mouth and tongue. Surprisingly agile, and the doctor actually seems pleased that you're doing it?
>Ha ha ha ha
>Enough stalling.
>Write some scribbles so they can write you off as brain damaged-
>Yeah. That'll be a fun way to live. Alternatively-
>You do recall the parasprite episode. That banner they wrote was in latin characters...
>So they'll think your family was weird or foreign instead of retarded... worth a shot, at least?
>Shakily, clumsily (but not as clumsily as you expected), you scratch out A N O N Y M O U S in plain English. Well, that was the end result- you almost- wait. FUCK. You DID write 'anonymous'!

>Solstice motions for Doc to flip the clipboard back before you can make any alterations. "Sorry love, we're testing yer mental acuity as much- mebbe more- than your education. No backsies, it's fer yer own good oi swear."
>>Furtive squints and harrumphs. "Look at this- tell me what you see?"

>Ohfuckohfuckohfuck
>>Doc turns her gaze back to you, with a more appraising eye? Is that what that is? "Our little friend here was, evidently, taught unicornian calligraphy at the expense of modern simplified lettering. Which means her family was either very tribalist, or very wealthy and strange- no? Not ringing ANY bells?"
>"Doctor!"
>>"Sister- we have NO idea who she is- for all we know her parents are alive and she was travelling with friends!"
>"But ya could be more tactful, y'know! Not to mention-"
>>"Even if she is an orphan we have a duty of care to make all reasonable efforts to find any next of kin!"
>"Yes and yes and yes but ONE THING at a toime, doctor! D'you understand half the foals are afraid of ye? Do-"
"Um- am I crazy or not?"
>The question stops their arguing like a lead weight on the chest. You didn't... INTEND to sound that pathetic...
>Solstice is the first to collect herself, stroking your mane with a thick but gentle hoof. "No, there.. well, moight be somethin' wrong with ye, but nuthin irreparable. Ya got yer wits, ya got yer words, ya got... *a* form of literacy. Yer not too far gone, I'm sure..."
>>"Wait, from what I remember-" Doctor Furtive is rubbing her chin as she scrutinizes your writing.
>"Doctor."
>>"Hold on, I'm not admonishing anypony! Just pointing out a quirk here that might shed some light on her origins. Now- calligraphic script isn't *that* uncommon, actually- rather common for unicorns to learn it, little cultural holdover, but we aren't usually taught the nuances of ancient spelling..."
>"Doctor, you just said-"
>>"PLEASE. These symbols at the end here *would* be considered incorrect nowadays, as this is the expected spelling-" she writes A R E S underneath your OUS. "And that's because it's used as a direct letter substitution, not a dialectical branch with its own spelling quirks like it USED to be."
>"...Alright, so..."
>>"She'd never win a spelling bee in Ponyville, but she'd do fine in a Prench heritage class. When you say O-U-S with a heavy accent it can sound almost like ARES."
>Solstice gradually de-tenses, and they both look at you with that 'oh god i hope the baby can walk today she's already five years old' kind of desperation.
>You don't know shit, the show never explained this, so all you can do is shrug and smile sheepishly.
>>"Well... It's SOMETHING to go on. We have SOMETHING to tell investigators- if it turns up nothing, so be it."
>>

Although we have now experienced a reality shift, I will still fondly remember Miss Nameless Ocean, that was a pretty cool linguistic play. I'd forgotten that 'mare' also can mean sea.

"So, yeah, I could barely read or write, and only in some weird fruitcake script only heraldic scribes ever use-"
>Ah, Sweetie Belle's turn to interrupt now. "Hold on- she said it was COMMON? And PRENCH?"
"Oh yeah- I'll get to that in a-"
>"No no no- Rarity would know about it! OR, at least Twilight!"
>>"Twilight would know about what, my little ponies?" Purplesmart is lingering on the side of the road. Spike leans over and steals a fistful of popcorn from Pinkie Pie's mane.
"Oh- hey. Hold on, gimme a- yeah, paper." Spike is already shoving instruments in your face with his non-buttery hand.
>You write out every possible spelling you know of your name- ANONMARE, ANONYMARES, ANONYMOUS-
>Hey, it's every regional variation. Like Peter, Petra, Pyotr. Never said you knew a LOT.
>>Twilight scrutinizes it, speaking them out loud. "OH! FINALLY, a unicorn who-"
"Who knows the esoteric thingy you like. Yep. Sensing a pattern here-"
>>"No, you don't get it, they stopped teaching it! Barely anypony knows it, even my dad doesn't! Er, yes, Sweetie Belle?"
>Swibble, who had her hoof raised politely, takes a deep breath. "Anon said the doctor said it was super common!"
Twiggy clams up while you smirk. "I said that's what she said, I never said she was RIGHT. She was full of herself and grew up surrounded by rich weirdos. Duh? I mean-"
>>"Look at how silly *I* am! And I learned to go outside much younger, I assume." Twilight smirks at you, having gotten ahead of your ribbing. And then looks guilty- "You don't mind that I'm-"
"Yeah yeah, it's fine, long as you can deal with Trixie having learned it way before you did."
>>Twitch. Twitch. "Thats. Fiiiine," she says through gritted teeth.
"Alright-"

>You start to ask Pinkie for a drink but find that her mane is already extruding a 12oz can of Peepsi
>Well
>You insist on calling them cans despite them being tiny little single-serve barrels
>Aluminum is...
>Man, a 12 pack of pepsi would be fuck you money.
"Thanks Pinkie"
>Smack the little spigot in and take a few refreshing swigs of marshmallow soder
>Tastes like drinking a Peep!
>Feels like it too!
>You're a sugar horse so this isn't disgusting!

>***Be Filly Anon***
>The doctor rushes out of the room, scribbling away. Solstice starts to go after her but gives up mid-stride.
>"Ah, she'll be back soon as she realizes..." she says more to herself, then leans towards you. "'Tween you and oi, she's a bit barmy for old Prance. I don't think half the royal scribes even know that script anymore..."
>Oh, joy-
>"Oh but don't worry- you'll be FINE! No need for that long face, love!"
"Eh he-"
>You try sinking into your pillow as much as you can. It's surprisingly deep and soft.
>"Alroight, well, how bout your age, love? Can you tell me that?"
>Uh
>Oh shit
>Er-
>Fuckfuckfuck there's that 'this-kid's-actually-broken' face again!
>make a guess!
"uh- tweeyyeeeen?"
>Yeah. Ten or twelve sounds right.
>So why....
>Why is she suddenly despondent?
>"Girl, that... that can't be roight. I hope that ain't roight- ah, we should go get Francesca-"
>>"I heard, *Winter.*" Doc is standing in the hallway, looking... not nearly as worried as Solstice? She looks back to her paper, scribbling and thinking out loud. "Patient is severely disoriented, potential amnesia, but cognizant."
>>She comes into the room and pulls Solstice aside. It doesn't look good, but it's not hopeless. She DEFINITELY has amnesia, we need to test. See how much remedial schooling she needs-
>You definitely parsed that whisper, despite some part of your current brain saying that's impossible. Well, fuck off, horse brain!
>It's little trouble to hear Solstice's response, either: AMNESIA!? Ain't that jumpin' the bolt a bit?
>>"No, my tumultuous blizzard, it is not. She's clearly at least in her mid twenties- or later- and cannot remember her own age or even her own age CATEGORY. We cannot assume-"
"Um, I can hear you guys?"
>Why. Did. You-
>Wait
>25!?
>Solstice turns to you, an almost condescending smile on her. "Yes, dear, we're talking about you, but you just-"
>Okay, hail Mary time. Maybe if you just-
"If I can't be 12, maybe I'm... 32?"
>Oh thank fuck, Solstice's concern quickly softens at that. "Hmmm- that could be roight, but I dunno how yer, erm- Doctor?"
>>Doc peers up from her ever-scribbling clipboard. "Hmm- yes, I'm confident in saying she's of strong Prench descent. Accounting for the warhorse gene, ehhh, yes, she'd be about that big at that age."
>"Well! Good! Great, even! Wait- hold on...."
>>Solstice squints at Furtive, who nods slightly and whispers- Shit, we might need a straightjacket-
>>
>>43314470
>The idea of a padded cell makes you seize up, your breath catching
>The both of them drop their jaws. "My stars, ya really CAN hear us?"
>>"You have nothing to fear- that was just a test, Anon. If you were dangerously insane we'd be silently leaving and-"
>"ACH! Don't scare the girl more than we've already had to! Wh- what do we even-"
>>"The filly has limited psychic awareness, or... something. Big deal- it's not like that's illegal. Now we know to leave the room if we need to speak in private, that is all."
>Ok
>You AND Solstice kinda just... stare agape.
"R-r-really?"
>>"Dear, if I were overly eager to throw fillies into cells, Celestia herself would revoke my medical license and possibly my heart."
"...Yeah, she seems really nice."
>
>
>
"What?"
>"Well- next up's a history/memory test, and ya answered our first question... kind of?"
>>
>>43314477
Foolish ponies, little do they know we can simply hover over the spoilers to reveal their secrets. This is the power of Anonymous!
>>
>>43314477
>Alright.
>Just answer the questions. Easy, right?
>Solstice puts a little book on the nightstand and opens it up while Furtive flips to a new page in her clipboard.
>"Alroight, hopefully these will be easy. First up:" You nod when she glances over her booklet. "What year is it?"
>FUCK
>Noticing your hesitation, her expression.. doesn't get any worse? "Hm. Well, tha's consistent with forgetting yer own age, at least."
>>"Let's try... what is the name of our current era?"
>Oh god oh fuck
>They're exchanging glances! Do you really want to be labelled a retard!?
>If you guess 'after luna's return' and it's wrong, will they-
>FUCKFUCKFUCK- WAIT
>One of those fillies in the hallway was burgundy... had a big fucking retainer and a shitty perm-
>Cheerilee!?
"Wai- igoddid- uh-"
>"Yes? Take yer toime." Solstice half-growls that at Furtive more than you.
"Aaaafter.... nightmare moon?"
>
>
>They both sigh in relief.
>>"Close enough, considering your mental state. It is, to be precise, the year 965 After Gloaming. Now, do you know what exactly that means? Please, be honest."
>Okay, so, you're probably the same age as Twilight. And Twilight was your only idea to fix this. So- you gotta plan for the long haul.
>Which means you REALLY don't want to be in the looney bin. Like even less than before, so-
>
>
>FU-
>>"I suspect you're debating whether to lie and say you do. That's... alright. Just guess, please- call it a test of your critical thinking."
"Uhhhh- water?"
>
>
>>"Sister, get her a carafe." Furtive side eyes you- "She can stay here and answer that, and THEN we take a break."
>
>
>>"Come on, now- Nightmare Moon was the cause, yes... And don't tell Solstice I helped you."
"Uhhh... civil war?"
>>"Yes. Good. Now, who was Nightmare Moon?"
"Princess Luna. Celestia's sister."
>>And now she's... bewildered? "Y-YES? Many ponies have forgotten that. Well, you already passed this question, but while Solstice is out, tell me- why?"
"Uh... she was hurt, and jealous. Her sister didn't do anything to help her?"
>>"Well. Again, correct enough. There's a lot more to it, but that's irrelevant right now..."
>She trails off as hooves clip down the hallway again. "Alroight, got ye some water and oi nicked an eggy scone from breakfast. Eat up while... Doctor and I go out into-"
>>"No need for secrecy, she did surprisingly well. Not perfect, but- well, with any luck she might only be suffering from temporary shock rather than full amnesia."
>Well
>Now you have time to think
>This is... far more emotional than you thought it would be
>Is that you or your horse body doing that?
>...Is there any difference?
>Fuck. No, you don't have time for an existential breakdown, you have pony trivia to utilize at last!
>And she did just give you an opening. Maybe-
>Goddamn this is a good egg biscuit. Yes it's a biscuit not a scone, fuck all britbongs and britbong horses. Even if one of them is a really nice nun.
>>
>>43315123

>"Alroight, done? Need to go? No? Just let me know if ye do. Doctor?" Solstice takes your tray and shuffles back out the door.
>>"Anon, if you remember anything about who or where you were before we found you, do not be afraid to say so. You will not be shamed or judged, and this is not a burden upon us. Okay?"
"Ogey" Man you really gotta get used to horse mouth
>>"...I am not accusing you of anything. But. Do you remember anything and simply not want to speak of it? That's alright if you do, but please-"
"...yeg."
>>"Oh? May I ask how much, is it clear or-"
"No mach. Layder pls. Neggst kwestyun."
>>Furtive scrutinizes your face. "Alright. Later. Now: in your own words, please describe the three main pony tribal groups. You can just say what makes them different, but it'd be even better if you can answer what role they play in stewardsh- er, keeping the world going?"
"Ahm... urf ponies, really strong, grow food. Pegasee fly, control weadder. Unicorns move stuff wif dere... our minds. Horns. Uh- used to move da sun, now pwincess does it."
>>"Correct. Good. Great, even. Now- can you tell me what THIS is?"
>Furtive stands up and pulls her doctor's coat up off her rump, revealing what looks like a medical cross. Except it's blue and red, patterned like you'd see on a knight's shield. And on each end of the cross, there's a little mouse. God that'd be a BITCH to draw, fucking OC pony.
"Kyootie mawrk. Speshull talent."
>>"Yes! Wonderful!"
>
>
>You go back and forth like this for a while, establishing that you at least don't need to be sent back to kindergarten outside of needing remedial literacy classes.
>At some point, Solstice yells in the hallway. "CHEERILEE, oi told ye a thousand bleedin' toimes ta git out o'the infirmary! Ye can meet the girl when she's good n ready!"
>You hear at least one set of tiny hooves scramble off as Solstice comes back in. "I'm sure she means well, she's always tutoring the younger ones, but-"
>>"Rules are rules for a reason, Sister, you have nothing to justify to anypony."
"I tink I zzaw her earlier-"
>"Ach, good, ye can remember more than- wait.... no, oi never said her name- did oi?"
>Ha ha ha ha sweating bullets right now please don't notice-
>>"Sister, now YOU'RE being paranoid. It's entirely likely Cheerilee snooped in here while my back has been turned, you know."
>"Roight... roight... oi'm goin' barmy."
>Phew
>Nice save, doc.
"Hehe its kinda hard to forget that perm..."
>>"I told her she'd regret it. Mark my words, that fad will die in a fire."
>"And ye still did it!"
>>"Yes? Foals need to make mistakes or they'll never learn. Oh, sorry, I mean it's our duty as their caregivers to encourage self expression. Or something." Furtive almost purrs her answer.
>And the questions continue. Solstice dips in and out- she does have the rest of the orphanage to manage, after all, but you ARE a special case.

>Furtive's questions stop being about basic history. She throws in a little science, some what-if scenarios that sound suspiciously like friendship problems...
>She winced less than she nodded, so hopefully...?
>>"Okay. Another hypothetical. You see two trolley tracks, with one pony tied to one and five ponies tied to the other. If you pull the switch, only one pony will be hurt, if you do nothing, five will be hurt. What do you do?"
>What the fuck
>Oh fuck this, the trolley problem is nothing but retards with philosophy degrees trying to suplex you with legalese.
>The correct answer is to pull the emergency switch and force a safe derailment, and beat the everloving shit out of anyone who tells you that's not allowed because muh thought experiment.
"Uh, ae vould use my magick to push the one pony off the track, vhile ae yoos mae body veight to force de leever?"
>>"No- you have to pick, either one gets hurt or five."
"Why? Vhat ees stopping me and vhy vas eet not-"
>>"Good. Correct answer. I wanted to see if you could perform some abstract critical thinking or if you'd blindly choose from the presented options. My apologies for the... gruesome and frankly tiresome question, it was all I had on short notice."
>
>
>Solstice brings in a dinner tray of... spinach and fruit oatmeal? When in horse, horse as the horses horse or something. It's pretty good. Which only unsettles you more as you HATED cooked spinach before.
>While you eat, Furtive runs off to grab a book to test your literacy.
>
>
>Solstice takes the tray, and shoos an ever-bolder Cheerilee away yet again.
>
>
>Fuck, it's boring in here. Starting to wish Solstice would stop chasing foals away.
>Seriously, Furtive's been gone for like an hour. How hard is it to find a book written in-
>>"Found it!"
>A dusty old tome is brought in- one written in Latin/Unicorn script, and plain English spelling.
>>The dust makes you sneeze, prompting an apology from Furtive. "Sorry about the dust... and, er, I swear this is the only book I could find- I'd have thought an institute of spiritual learning would have-"
>At that exact moment, Solstice happens to be walking by. "Land's SAKE, Francesca, it's an ORPHANGE not a CONVENT." And she's gone again. More yelling at lookieloos. You even catch a stray tut-tut in the distance.
>Okay, let's get a gander at this grimoire.
"Err- Ae heestry of de famly Fyurteeva, in Hair Mayjestee's Saykrit Seirveez."
>>The doctor blushes and tries to hide her face. "Sorry again, I swear I'm not TRYING to show off- that was good, by the way. Seems your speech is getting a tad clearer, too."
>You read a few pages. It's even more boring than it sounds- genealogy records and random accolades of the Furtiva family line, ending in Doctor Francesa Furtive who, "shamed our entire family to go run an orphanage with that filthy homosexual concubine masquerading as a nun, and is only written here as a warning to-"
>>
>>43316598
>The last bit is scribbled out, with big shitty doctor hoofwriting proclaiming "TO ANYONE WHO HATES MY BITCH MOM! BE FREE!"
>Huh
>Alright then
>Ooh- Solstice is standing in the door with her jaw on the floor. A bunch of foals are laughing their asses off while she's too busy to chase them off.
>And the good doctor's face is cherry red. You miiight have missed her trying to shush you before that part.
>Oopsie, teehee
>The two mares take it in stride, at least. Solstice is too happy that you can at least read SOMETHING to stay mad anyway.
>
>
>The sun sinks below the horizon in about 5 seconds flat. The moon takes its place just as fast.
>More questions. Math. You do just fine.
>The subject of your past creeps in again. You reaffirm your promise to share what you can.
>And finally, Solstice pops her head in.
>"Roight then. Doctor, ye been at it all evening. How's she looking so far?"
>>Furtive doesn't even look at her sheet before answering. "Much better than we feared, not too much worse than we hoped."
>"Uh- alroight? Lookin' forward to the explanation."
>>"Well. She's far more cognizant than even 24 hours ago. Overall, her history and geography are slightly ABOVE average for her age group- albeit with some utterly bizarre outliers, fair AND foul."
>Solstice sighs in relief, her hoof on her chest. "Arithmetic?"
>>"Absolutely flawless. Reading? Well- you were there.""
>"Aye, oi was. Les' forget about it- something happier: oi was also there to hear her readin' aloud, seems she doesn't have a speech impediment. Was real worried there, but it's just an accent or summat?"
Furtive eyes you, nodding slightly. "Er- mae mouf feels foony, but gaetteng bettar wif praaktize?"
>"Well... hrm... And wha' about- you know-" Solstice starts to lean in for a whisper but catches herself. Furtive eyes you in a way that looks kinda fucked up but you think she MEANS to be encouraging?
>Aw come on look at her, she's just really bad at this. Don't clam up now.
"Uh- well- mmmember some th-"
>Solstice enters, sits by your bedside. "Ye don't HAVE to, roight now, if-"
"Nono- should say before I forget again..."

>Well
>You had all day and it wasn't enough, but-
>You can just, y'know, act traumatized, use that to cover while you think of-
>(it's not an act and you know it. who the fuck is okay after dying like that?)
"Ae don' remember mooch, but... family. Wagon, really fancee. A bandit took it, he waz uh... tall. had hands. A big sword. He-"
>They both fix you with that motherly shut-up-whenever-you-want look, Solstice even puts her nose to your cheek
>You kind of want to stop but you just can't now what what fuck FU-
>There it is again. The phantom pain in your bleeding neck, the ringing in your ears, the soreness in your palms as your bad form makes the recoil worse than it should be
"He-he-he- m-mmmy parents, cut them open, I-"
>"ENOUGH! That's more than enough! It's okay-"
"Me-meme-OMMY went cold, stopped moving, I- parents dead. Dey... died. Ae know dat.

>She can barely remember who she is except a filly who watched her parents die.

>***Be Anonmare***
"Whatduya- UGH. YES, Twilight?"
>Twilight's hoof drops, as Spike rolls his eyes behind her. "Um- yes- waitholdon, SPIKE! I know you're doing that!"
>She grimaces and groans as he rolls his eyes even HARDER, but she elects not to push him right now.
>"Sorry, er, how do you know this?"
"Know what?"
>"You were asleep and the matron was-"
"Twilight she TOLD me. DUH? I said that!"
>>"She's right, Twi." Spike clears his throat and reads off the minutes of... wait a fucking second who told him he could-
>>"Lessee, parents murdered, Anon has a PTSD attack, her hoof starts hurting like she's been running on gravel for hours, timber wolf bite acting up, ehhhh- HERE! 'I passed out, Solstice told me the next day that I'd been drugged again.' End quote."
>>>"Gee, Twilight, that's a really weird thing for you to overlook. Almost like you're trying to stall for time or something!" Pinkie Pie fixes her with that patented 'i'm-not-accusing-you-because-that-implies-i-don't-have-damning-evidence cheeky stink eye.
"Yeah Twi- seriously, this is... kinda weird. What would you even be stalling FOR?"
>Sweat. Buckets of sweat from the chubby book licker.
>Well, not like you can call anyone chubby even without counting your baby bump.
>Still-
>"Well- er-" A long sigh. "Okaaay, I was going to Sugarcube Corner for that intervention we planned- don't worry, Spike already called it off-"
>You glance at Spike after mention of his name. His slight slouch and tired eyes suggest Sugarcube Corner is incapable of receiving distant transmissions.
>" but we had this HUUUUGE thing planned out with decorations and furniture and a little stage play and..." Pinkie looks... completely normal. Uh huh. Sure. (Sometimes a party gets cancelled, what can ya do?)
>Wait. They were gonna put on a play about you being a fatass? That coulda been funny, you almost wish-
>"Look, I'm just embarrassed okay!? And this gives me a convenient excuse to not go there!"
"Sheesh. Alright, whatever... wait. Spiiiike, why's that quill still going!? What-"
>>
>>43317983
>>Spike doesn't even look up as he observes a blue, gem-encrusted quill dance across a large sheet of papyrus. "Twilight told me to record conversations in case she missed stuff. I told her I wasn't doing that unless she bought me a fancy new 3000-A autoquill. As you can see-" Spike grabs and twirls the feather before touching it back to the page where it stands on end. "I have contractual obligations."
"Twilight." You furrow your brow and squint at her.
>"Eh hehe-" She's sweating and trying to withdraw like a turtle.
"I could fly off the handle and rip that paper apart, or we could act like adults."
>"Adults who-?"
"Communicate with words. Words like 'i'm deeply hurt you would do this without even telling me, let alone asking me, and you do not have my permission to publish this."
>"Well, technically, my scholarly correspondence isn't-"
"Private academic journals count as publishing."
>"I don't see what the big deal is! You know I report on-"
"Stuff WE'VE been through TOGETHER. And yeah, we know. But that's DIFFERENT from-"
>"Our cutie marks bind us! Your foalhood is thus as much a part of *us* as your present!"
"You're as bad as Doc Furtive- she grew up surrounded by scribes and assumed EVERYPONY could read and write in multiple alphabets. Well, not everypony is a noble who wants their damn life story commodified!"
>"You know, you're the one who assumed I had intent to profit off of this! Or anything- maybe I really DID just want a way to review conversations! Not everypony has a massive silver CHARIOT OF THE GODS that can haul around a recording studio!"
>Oh shit, her eyes are wet.
>Welp. Now the peanut gallery is glaring at you.
"AUGH. Fine, do whatever! Apparently I'm the bad guy for not wanting to be RECORDED without even being TOLD-"
>>"Hey dude, sorry- my bad too, I can put a watermark on it so only you, Twilight and Celestia can ever read it. Cool?"
"...Yeah. That works."
>"SPIKE!"
>>"Twi- let's be real, we're pushing our luck even with that. There is no-ho-thing stopping her from ripping this scroll to pieces. Or setting it on fire. Or shooting it. Or eating it, waiting a day, and putting it back on your brand new desk."
"Heyyyy, I never thought of that last one! Thanks!"
>"GAH! Don't encourage him! Honestly, you're worse than most brothers! Anon- why are you being so difficult!?"
"I JUST gave you permission to archive something I'd rather you didn't. Don't push it or I really will crap that note onto your favorite desk tomorrow."
>PAPYRUS. PLANT MATTER. GOOD FOR GROWING HORSES. AS IS THE TASTE OF PETTY VENGEANCE. I APPROVE.
>Twilight stands her ground, staring you right in the eyes while the CMCs are trying their damndest to not break down laughing.
"Okay. That's how you wanna play it? Pinkie, I need to make a Pinkie Promise-"
>"GAAAAH OKAY OKAY OKAY STOP! Please, continue-"

>Either Anon's awake and Cheerilee will keep her company, or she's not and Cheerilee knows better than to wake a sleeping patient. You can look the other way, tonight.
>After all, a little youthful indiscretion is necessary for growth, and she did make a fair attempt at stuffing her empty bed.
>And-
>Quick check.
>The younger foals are in bed. Most of the older ones are enjoying their later bedtime. All's well.
>To the 'library,' such as it is.

>Be Filly Anon
>Be awake at... night o'clock
>You awoke much like the first time- full of piss, empty of water, hoarse and sore
>Crawl out of bed, notice the chamber pot left out for you with slight glow in the dark stickers softly declaring its presence
>Do what you gotta do, go back to bed, realize you're still a horse, realize you're still female, realize you just pissed out your pussy, realize how normal it felt until you were thinking about it-
>Ah
>There's the freakout
>Well
>How long have you been grunting into your pillow?
>Does it matter?
>They'll see you tomorrow, and probably put you in a padded cell, and maybe that's for the best-
>"Hey, are you ok?"
"GAH!"
>"Turning on the light-"
>You squeeze your eyes tight. A moment later, there's a click, and the gray darkness of eyelids turns to reddish-brown.
>Slowly, carefully, your eyes open to reveal a burgundy filly with a perm.
>"Uh, hi, I'm Cheerilee- do you want me to go get Miss Solstice?"
>Blink
>Blink
"...Won't you get in trouble?"
>"Huh? Nah. Not at this point."
"Oh. Whatever- um. No, I don't-"
>"You sure? You were kinda freaking out." She examines your bed closer. "Well, they don't have you on needles or anything, so.. I could sleep with you if you want?"
>Right. A nasally-voiced braceface future math teacher cuddling you in bed. Uh huh. That sounds-

>That sounds nice
>You don't say anything, but roll and scooch over. She takes the hint and clambers up into bed behind you.
>"Don't worry, I'll be careful with your neck."
>Arms.. no, legs, over and around you. Cheerilee's slightly bigger than you.
>She wiggles and worms her way up until she's all wrapped around you with her chin on the top of your head
>"Better?"
>Good question
>Maybe?
>The pain and fear are still there
>The intrusive thoughts are kicking and screaming
>But it does take the edge off, somewhat
"....A little?"
>"You wanna talk about it?"
"No."
>"Ok. G'night I guess."
"Gnite?"
>Yeah
>Still there
>But blunted. Like you need morphine but all you got is a fistful of aspirin.
>Still, it's blunt enough that you.. eventually.. drift off

>Wake up to the early sun in your eyes
>Huh. It's actually a bit dim like in an earth morning? Maybe Celestia controls the brightness or something- you can ask later, after all you have a blank check for being ignorant right now.
>Cheerilee is still wrapped around you, there's no nun or doctor pestering you
>There's a green filly in the bed opposite you-
>With a burgundy head nestled on top of-
>Right. That's a big mirror showing you. You rolled away from the door, which you spent most of yesterday facing- still, even you should've noticed this already.
>Your new face. Your new body, for the foreseeable future, and maybe the rest of your life.
>Funny, it hadn't really hit you before. How long that could be, or how much you'd been changed by whatever force took pity on you.
>No, no- don't start this again.
>You already let it hit you last night, now just fucking find your legs.
>Look on the bright side- you don't have to lie about your age, your skills, or any memories you happen to 'remember.' Because you're basically the same age as when you died.
>Y-yeah, and you could live for a few hundred years? You didn't really ask but it seems like it-
>Yeah, this is gonna be.. not so bad. You can deal with having a cooch, you can definitely deal with getting a second childhood
>Hehehehe
>Why are you laughing in your own head?
>Oh fuck it, get outta bed. Maybe wake Cheerilee up, give her a soft kick and some time to scoot off before she's missed-
"Oy, arr yuu gon- gonna get in twubble?"
>Mouth feels.. less laggy to control. Less funny-shaped. That's fine, that's great, you really don't want to keep sounding retarded, this is a good thing this is a good thing-
>"Oh- yeah, don't worry, Miss Solstice lets me get away with stuff sometimes. She just has to pretend to be mad so she er- uh-"
"Doesn't undermine her authority?" You half-grunt out while climbing down
>"Y-yeah! Oh, you're looking a lot better! Did I help any?" All four hooves on the cold stone floor
"I think so, yeah. Oh- uh, I'm... Anonmare? Yeah-"
>"Who'd name a foal after being a grownup?'" she calls out as you approach the big mirror
"Dey didn't! It means Namewess Oceanz!"
>>
>>43321009
>"Oh... that's still kinda silly.... but I guess lots of names are kinda silly. Er-"
>She trails off. You see her head in the mirror, cocked right as she watches you examine yourself. Particularly how the first thing you looked at was-
>"I don't think you'd get a cutie mark for being hurt in bed... least I really hope you can't."
"...Ya, dad'd be bad. Wasn't sure if I had one b'fore s'all."
>"...what!?"
"Brain's all fried like an egg, i dunno what I knew and I dunno what I even forg-"
>Ears prick up as you both hear older, heavier hooves down the stone hall.
>>Yep- Solstice peeks in. "Oh, up bright and early, Cheerilee? So nice o' ya ta help her out o' bed." She says with a wink.
>She winked at Cheerilee, but immediately turns to you with a practiced look of curious concern. The curve of her eyebrow suggests 'let me know if she was any trouble.'
>>When you make no signs of distress, Solstice shrugs. "Alright, well, m'afraid Anon has some more tests and isolation in store. Run off to brekky now, Cheery."
>>Cheerilee's ears, head and tail droop but Solstice nuzzles her. "Now, now, she'll be needing some readin' n writin' tutoring, so you'll be seeing plenty of her."
>>That makes Cheerilee cheer up a bit, but she's still hesitant to run off. "No, go on now, last thing she needs is you gettin' toired of her!" The nuzzle turns into being pushed out the door.

>Solstice gently closes the door behind Cheerilee, sits down next to where you're standing.
>>"Alright, love. Ah know she spent the night with ye, you're absolutely sure she didn't hurt ye?"
"Jyess, Sister."
>>"Ooh, your speech is getting better already! Good for ye! Now, did ye sleep okay?"
"Mmm, woke up, had to pee, got back to bed, bad thoughts came back. Cried into my pillow-"
>You suddenly find yourself surrounded by nun fur and nun noises as she pulls you into a hug.
"Cheerilee held me all night, finally got to sleep when she did."
>>The fluff around you vibrates and chuckles. "Well, they say friendship is magic, and maybe you made your first one already?"
"Mmmmbbe..." Slowly you pry yourself out of the warm cocoon, look up at her. "How long I gotta stay alone?"
>
>
>Solstice takes a while to answer. Not a long while, but a noticeable while all the same.
>>"Hmm... Well-" Sigh. "Alright. For whatever holes're in yer memory, you've a sharp wit and a clear mind, so... I'll just tell ye straight: We're not sure. You. might be dangerous."
>Your breath catches
>What- who- do they know- what how-
>>A hoof on your trembling shoulder. "Now, now, you're SAFE. I don't think you're crazy or a demon or whatever, it's just... A girl your age shouldnae been able to push the doctor away like that. You've, er-"
>She twirls a loose bit of her habit
>>"Sorry, I'm not a unicorn and I leave most o' that to the doctor, but... well, ye got a lot of magic in you. And ye don't seem to know how to use it? I have ne seen ye use it even once past that night."
"...Oh."

"Nyuh?" Her statement does not make more sense at a 45 degree angle.
>>"Why're you- OH. Roight, you wouldnae remember... There was a big rainbow burst the night we brought you in... Coming from, er-"
>Solstice trails off, mumbling to herself. 'what wazzit she said' and such like things.
>>"Roight! The mailpony said she almost got caught in it... roight over th' rock farms. That's a ways away, outside the Vale, but not by *too* far as oi understand."
"Rainbows... magic. Everypony got hopped up?"
>>She beams down at you. "Aye, seems loike it. Smart lass- you must've gotten the worst of it, the jitters will fade and hopefully whatever's messing with your horn too. Eventually. Til then, though-" she waves her hoof side to side. "You'll be grabbing loike the rest of us."
>Well, shit
>There goes the one bonus to-
>>"Ah, sweeten yer sour face love. It'll be good fer ye to learn to work more with yer body." She leans in, conspiratorial-like. "Ye don't wanna end up like the doctor, do ye?"

>Why is that working!? She's talking to you like-

>Not an adult with a car, a job and a bunch of weapons
>Just a tiny thing that causes celebration if she can even feed herself without ruining her shirt... or chest fur, or whatever.
>Still
>Being a kid again is as emasculating as it is freeing (don't start on that other issue again!)
>Being a crippled kid is just plain bad. You need to do something about that-
>As soon as possible, please.
>But how?
>Okay, obviously part of it is overthinking. That's always the problem lately- you gotta let your new nerves talk to you. Breathe. This is a problem you can solve-
>But also
>How the hell do you do magic? There's just... nothing.
>Come on, come on- the sooner you can vent this energy or whatever, the sooner you can try being a kid instead of a mental patient!

>>"Anon, are ye- OH!"
"Wha!?"
>Your attention gets called back to reality- Solstice flashes green for a split second. And would be covered in puke if you had anything but dry heaves to give.
"Oh- did I-"
>>"Oi'm fine, but are ye-"
"I think so? It's over."
>>"Don't worry. Ye didnae even do anything. Well, you had a loight goin' for a second. So, yer horn does still work, so ye can quit tryna force the matter. Alright?"
>Her eyes are warm but there's a hard edge to her jaw. No room for debate.
"Yes, ma'am."

>>"Oh, roight- seems oi forgot ta bring th' tray. Hehe. Sorry- oi'll get roight on that."
>Solstice speedwalks out the door, looking as embarrassed as if you'd found her porn on the coffee table or something
>Well
>Shit
>You're stuck in this room for yet another day, and probably several more
>The isolation is not helping your issues at all
>Boredom, loneliness, yeah

>Fuckin... what is there to do in here?
>Be hot, that's one thing you're doing
>Will that window open?
>Yergh- no magic, and trying to reach out with hands you no longer have only made you sob
>Well, there's a stool there, with that you can just reach on your hindlegs
>And a ruler Solstice left with one of her books. If you pick it up in your mouth (still surprisingly agile)- yeah, no, hang on, just-
>A
>Little
>There!
>Reared up, ruler in your mouth working the latch, one hoof to brace, one hoof to lift the window-
>It comes open about half a foot, or whatever that is in horse units. A hand?
>A slight breeze filters in, bringing the sound of foals and a few irate teachers.
>Outside, you can see that you're in an upper floor of... some kind of mansion?
>There's walls and shit, and a fairly big orchard/garden plot you can barely see the edge of from this angle. A few folks of all ages are coming to and fro.
>Your ears prick- out of the little village worth of chatter and early morning work, there's sound from farther afield as well.
>Something distressing.
>Sounds almost like crying.
>Coming from near the forest gate- but there's nobody there?
>Wait. You were always a little slow on the uptake- but accurate as hell.
>Calm down. Take the whole picture in. Now, what breaks the pattern?
>Walls: Sturdy, brick, but not really a fortress kind of deal. Thinking about them too hard makes the top of your head itch- maybe they're enchanted?
>Gate: Lacquered wood of some sort. Open. Pretty obvious ponies aren't dumb or crazy enough to put an orphanage in a haunted wasteland jungle, so there's not as much need to really fortify it. Still, there's a couple stallions with what look like super thick sweaters. Gambesons? Yeah, sounds right- Move on.
>Beyond the wall: you can make out the top of a simple train platform. Furtive said this place was sort of its own settlement; not relevant. Move on.
>Treeline. Looks more generically-spooky than Whitetail Woods, but less so than the Everfree. Make a mental note to not get caught out there as you are now, move on.
>Bushes lining a ditch outside. Puffy green plants, just mov-
>Wait
>Those yellow dots just turned cream-colored.... That bush just blinked? That bush just blinked!
>"HEY! ANON!"
"GAAAH!" Cheerilee's voice startles the absolute fuck out of you
>>
>>43322531
>You stumble back and almost fall right onto the floor, but she catches you while apologizing profusely.
"Yea- yea I'm goodt! What da-" You twist around until you're properly on your hooves.
>"Sorry again! Uh- you haven't seen a little yearling in here, have you? Lemon Bars went missing, nopony can find him!"
>Oh
>"Uh, uh- OH! He's juuust bigger than a baby, he's got kinda creamy fur, and-"
"Lemony-yellow eyes?"
>"YES! Is he in here!? I don't see anywhere he could-"
"Outside. No, like, outside the GATES."
>"WHAT!?"
>You get your chin over her and nudge her over to the window.
"See- that bush a little ways out the gate? See those yellow dots?" She peers out and you can see... little wrinkles? Splotches? something on her face.
>"No? Those are perfectly normal bush-"
"I saw those yellow things blink, so they're not just wild lemonswhatdoyoumeanNO!?"
>"I mean no, those bushes are just shrubberies! There's no berries or berry-like objects on any of them! Come on, this is SERIOUS! I know you're-"
>>Thundering hooves down the hallway. A familiar face pokes in, sans food tray-
>Really? Come on, Anon.
>>"Ach! Cheery, don' scare me like tha'! Anon, dear, have ye-"
>"She hasn't-"
"Yes I have! Maybe!"
>>"Anon."
"I saw that bush blink!"
>>Solstice hurries to the window, squints for a moment, and: "Anon, love, those bushes are shrubs. Nothin' on 'em but leaves. Take it easy, love, we'll- we'll find the boy. Cheery, stay here with her-"
>"But-"
"But-"
>>"No no, no buts- I'm gonnae have th' doctor check on you- and b'fore ye ask, no, she doesn't help with searches- we need her standin' by fer when we find the foal! Just in case!"
>And with that, she runs out the door
>Cheerilee trots nervously in place. "I- I know the last thing they need is me getting lost too, but I'm going- crazy- I-i-i-"
"Cheerilee, I saw a pair of eyes sticking out of that bush, I swear!"
>"And I wonder if you hit your head trying to open the window. Are you sure you're ok? You seemed really messed up last night- you shook all night and I- oh, nevermind, I don't want to worry you."
>Ah
>You kept her up? Well shit. So those ARE bags under her eyes

>>>Knocks at the door. Before you can answer, the local grumpy unicorn doctor comes in. "Alright- let's have a look at you, Anon."
>Cheerilee almost scowls at Furtive- "Aren't you worried about-"
>>>"Lemon Bars, yes, of course I am, which is why I am eager for ANYTHING useful to occupy my attention. Anon, on the bed, si vous plait. Er, that is-"
"If I please. Yeah." You start hoisting yourself up.
>Feels bad leaving the search but if they're not gonna listen, what can you do? Make yourself look-
>"Doctor, please check her eyesight, I think she's hallucinating."
>Aw come on!
>>>"Oh? Anon, in YOUR own words-" A sidelong glance at a suddenly very tight-mouthed future teacher. "-Please describe them."
"...I was looking out the window and, uh, that bush outside the gate blinked."
>>
>>43322560
>>>"Mmhm. Well- all manner of trauma can induce small anomalies- spots, circles, splotches- it should be nothing to worry about, but tell me if they persist."
>Cheerilee huffs at you. "That's not all!" She stomps up to Furtive before she can be shushed again- "She said the eyes were lemon yellow and now she thinks Lemon Bars is-"
"I saw two yellow dots, then they turned cream, then yellow. And that's when Cheerilee came in!"
>>>Furtive's eyes go just slightly wider- her voice starts to sound overly practiced. "Which bush? Point it out-"
>You do. It's easy, they're still there- little yellow eyes on a field of green, on the far side of a drainage ditch next to the train platform. They even blinked again!
>>>The doctor scans your face carefully. Her grumpy facade turns to a mix of concern and realization. "...It's worth a try. I'll tell a guard I saw movement in the bushes, they'll investigate THAT. Eventually."
"Eventually?"
>>>"Lemon Bars might be a pegasus but he should be flightless and the gate is always guarded when open... but he could be experiencing a late magic surge from that rainbow.... yes, it all adds up." She more mutters to herself than anyone else as she walks to the door.
>>>"Stay here, both of you, I will-"
>"WHAT!? But-"
>>>"No buts! Stay here!"

>She leaves for a minute or two. Cheerilee half-apologizes. More of a "I'm sorry you're nuts and I hope you feel better" but you sense she's sincere about that at least.
>Part of you wants to throw a little tantrum or pout and seethe. The smarter part of you knows they plan on having her tutor you, so maybe don't be a complete bitch so soon, yeah?
>Even if you really, really want to be-
>>>"Knock knock- coming in." And in the doctor comes. "Alright, Anonymares-" bit of a French accent the way she says your name. "-I indulged your theory. Now you and I will do as we were told. Up on the bed, I have some tests to run."
"Yes'm"
>A cart is rolled over from the corner.
>Blood pressure. Reflex hammer. Good and good- your blood pressure was pretty low when you were out cold, she says.
>>>An impromptu eye chart in latin letters- "Top to bottom, left to right."
"A, E, B, D, F, X, Z-"
>>>"Good. Good-"
>"What the hay are-"
>>>"Language, young mare." She chuckles, "No, really. It's a different system for writing Ponish. It's all Anon was taught, apparently. So-"
>"So I still get to teach her. Good."
>Furtive starts working with some weird set of rings laid out on a wire- 'goes on your horn' she says, when a ragged cheer erupts from outside
>Everyone's ears perk up. Cheerilee keeps glancing at you, mild disbelief and wonder on her face.
>>Sure enough, a few minutes later Solstice practically kicks the door down but, like, happy. "WE FOUND HIM! Doctor- how did you-"
>>>"I had a very good second opinion. Anon, go ahead, you know you want to."
"Told you so."
>>>"She did, indeed."
>>

Kek, that hadn't registered with me until you mentioned it. Filly Anonmare. It doesn't come across as odd if you think of her as filly Anonymares though, since that's just the ponified version of Anonymous. Becomes funny if you think of a stallion anon having his name interpretted that way and having the word 'mares' written on all his official documentation.

>>"Wh- h- d'oh-" Solstice stumbles through what you assume was an admonishment. "Francesca, I- how- what if she'd been wrong? None of us could-"
>>She stops dead in her tracks. Eyes wide. "Th' whispering."
>>>Furtive nods. "Seeing as you haven't brought the lad in-"
>>"Oh- yes, he's foine. Little scrapes but he weren't even croyin'. Oi put a salve on 'em and him to bed."
>>>"Then, I have a patient to attend." Doc holds up the aforementioned ring-wire... thingy for emphasis. "I care not if you stay, Sister, but I presume you have an orphanage to run, so... fruitful endeavors and all that."
>>"Wh- ah, yes of course. Same to you, Furtive. Cheerilee, you've no schoolwork roight now- do as you please, but no backtalking the doctor!"
>"Yes, Miss Solstice."
"Bye, Ma'am!" You wave her off a little too enthusiastically.
>Not like you think you offended her, it just... your hoof waving wild like that. Little kid type shit. Ugh, you ARE one, but-
>Thankfully this train of thought gets derailed. Unthankfully, the derailing is done via a sudden numbness sticking out the top of your head as the rings clasp around the length of your horn.
>>>"Alright, did that induce any change in sensation?"
>Cheerilee cocks her head, mouthing to herself in confusion- somepony needs to learn more 10 dollar words, it seems.
"...Yeah. Thought it was numb before but now it definitely is."
>>>"Alright." Scribble, scribble. "This machine is wired to the sensor- I'm going to alter its resistance, tell me as soon as the numbness goes away."
>Furtive's horn lights up, pink like old ham, and a dial begins to slowly turn.
>Nothing-
>Nothing-
>Nothing-
>Something- The world tries to flip sideways, but you're caught by both a pink glow and a burgundy foal.
>Your fall slows and you settle into a sphinx loaf. Feels funny all over.
"Wha happun-"
>>>"Well, how did it feel?"
"Uh. Like-"
>
>
>>>"Come on now. Was it pain?"
>You shake your head.
"Like uh... sleeping on my leg wrong, and trying to get up really fast. Needles, buzzing, like blood trying to get back in."
>>>"Oh. Good- that's a very good sign."
>Your head feels very, very heavy now, and there's a funny soreness in your back.
"I tink it sprebin to all my nerbz-"
>>>"Yes. The system shock means it's working."
>"Woah, pretty!"
"Whud?"
>"Rainbow sparks!"
>>>"Nothing to fear. That's just the excess magic flowing out of you- think of your condition like a stuffed sinus, except the sinus is your horn."
"Mayd me zneez?"
>>>"Something like that. Truth be told, I didn't expect it to be this easy."
"...Luggy I didn hafta pee."

>>43324639
Less of a premeditated murder attempt and more of a psychotic break, plus she kinda forgot her own strength in the moment
Cheerilee actually major regrets it, which is why she keeps telling everypony about the incident... it's just that foals only hear the part about the weird lady having weird powers and not the 'I done fucked up real bad' part.

>Well
>The numbness hasn't subsided. You can kind of feel and move your legs- whatever autopilot shit they got isn't affected by what those rings did. Chalk that up to weird pony physiology? It WOULD be advantageous to be able to run even if your brain is half-fried.
>But the rest of you? Feels like buzzing being drawn up out of you, settling all over you, like it's trying to-
>Wait
>What's the doc doing?
>Looks like... laying out a rubber mat?
>>>"Alright, lay down over here please, put your head in the depression here-" she points to a... bowl with a cushioned headrest cut out in the side?
"Uhfffffwha-"
>"Doctor, is this a good idea?" Cheerilee glances nervously at- is that a mallet in the doc's magic?
>>>"Unfortunately, yes. A unicorn's horn has the highest concentration of nerves and energy conduits in equine physiology."
>"So.. you really are just gonna-"
"Yergon- tap hrn?"
>>>"Yes. I had hoped the stimulation from the rings would have been enough, but it's been an hour with no further results."
>Okay
>So
>Everything connected to your horn is weird and fuzzy. So they're gonna like- force a reflex. Make you shake the pins and needles out, by force. Okay.
>Yep.
>You got this. Healing hurts sometimes.
>>>"Anon, lay down please. I know, it's scary, but think of it like getting all the pain out of the way right now. Instead of being stuck in this room for days or weeks."
>Heh
>Sure, fine, er-
>>>"Cheerilee, please-"
>"Doctor-"
>>>"Cheerilee, this could easily become a medical emergency. Help her into position- force her down if you have to, and then leave the room."
>"But-"
"Izzoki, cherrytree- cherryleap- cheeril-"
>You're already *trying* to get into position, but it's kind of hard to know when you're done if you can barely feel your chin-
>"Okay..." A curtain of burgundy pushes your field of view around. "Good luck...?" You hear hoofsteps, the door closing
>>>"Alright. So- the rings- can you hear me?"
"Yed."
>>>"Good. The rings were meant to do two things- scan your thaumonervous system, and, er, well to carry the bloodflow metaphor, they should've massaged the blood back into your 'legs'. They partially worked, so- well, this is going to hurt. Don't hold back if you vomit- I know you dry-heaved before, but just in case-"

>A sharp tap sends... sensation down your horn
>Like. It's not pain- pain is a specific feeling that summons specific brain chemicals or something.
>But it's one of those feelings that's so instantly intense that it's just as distressing as pain
>Wave after wave of... bad. Like an anti-orgasm making you wretch with every muscle, with every pulse
>Something comes out your mouth, caught in the bowl
>Involuntary noises. Grit your teeth and groan.
>That blinky sixth sense nausea cascades over you yet again. You become aware your eyes have been screwed shut the whole time, and that the doctor really ought to clean her pores.
>Oh god it's like one of those gross closeup shots from Spongebob
>Who's crying? Oh, that's you.
>Something is bracing you, holding you down. Fuck- guess it's straitjacket time?
>Wetness in the bowl. Tears and drool, draining out as you get wrinkled and jerky-like in real time. Wait, you FEEL that bowl being wet but-
>Erg
>More shakes. More pathetic little noises.
>After about 4.6 eternities it subsides. Slowly, not suddenly. The dam's cracks seal, the foundation settles. Your hooves and horn suddenly... feel. Like you've been numb the entire time you've been awake and didn't even know it-
>How could you, when it was all you knew?
>The intruding sixth sense remains, but clearer. Instead of an overwhelming perversion of all your senses, it just feels almost, but not quite, entirely unlike feelers touching everything around you.
>Still incredibly unpleasant, but a different kind of sensory overload. More manageable.
>More awareness creeps in: it's not a straitjacket. Solstice is draped over you, your lunch scattered across the floor.
>>"Y'alright now, love?" She gives a quick, mean glance at the doctor after you nod.
>>>"Sister, please-"
>>"Oi may not be a unicorn but I know enough to know she'd've been foine eventually!"
>>>"Yes, after several weeks. Several weeks of having unusually low energy flow, the resulting stagnation causing possible permanent degradation. Oh, not to mention the psychological damage of being functionally crippled on top of stress-induced partial amnesia! It was a CAREFULLY calculated risk, Solstice! Not some wild experiment! The worst that would've happened is knocking her out another day or two!"
>>"Oh, oi see, and obviously being knocked out cold NEVER has any-"
"STOP! I'm FINE now! I think! Better than I was, at least?"
>>"Anon, dear, just-"
"No! You're acting like she just went straight to doing THIS! You missed the hours of tests and waiting! Uh-"
>You glance out the open door where a younger nun is pushing a a dolly piled high with old habits. A pair of yellow orbs turns cream.
>Huh. It brings absolutely zero sensation to your newly-installed horn drivers. So, you have two new senses? Except no- that's-
"Um. I think Lemon Bars is in that laundry."
>>Solstice huffs and tuts. "Now, Anon, don't troi to-"
>>>"She's right." A giggling toddler horse is floated in on a ham-pink haze.
>>
>>43324968
cozy...
>>
>>43326520
>>The colt is set down on Solstice's back with a soft thump. "Ach, that's..."
>>>"Three for three, that we know of."
>>"Roight. Well-" She looks at you, an uncertain edge in the corner of her eyes. "Anon- ye better not start croyin timber wolf with this. Got it?"
>You shrug and nod at the same time. Like- okay? Yeah?
>>Solstice eyes you uncertainly before shrugging herself. "Well, I have a young lad to bring back to tha nursery... Oh, oh my- right-" she suddenly remembers the lost food tray.
>>>"She should be quite capable of eating now....?" Another uncertain eye, brow raised at you.
"Yeah... I think so? Hey, my mouf is... ok, my mouf is mostly fine now."
>Solstice shrugs again, before panicking and grabbing the giggling colt by the tail before he can faceplant off her back. She'd have missed if not for Furtive levitating him yet again.
>>>"Sister, p l e a s e be careful-" she says through clenched teeth.
>Huh
>>"TCH, stuff the lad down me habit- watch him worm out of thaAHAHAHAHA-" she breaks down laughing as Furtive complies perhaps sooner and more enthusiastically than she anticipated.
>>>"Alright- say, Anon, can you see his eyes now?"
>Squint
>Oddly enough, no, no you can't.
You shake your head. "I mean, I KNOW he's there cause I saw you put him there, but it's... I dunno?"
>>>"Strange. Well, that disproves my first hypothesis- that you possess some form of life sense without needing to cast a spell..."
>>"DOCTOR!" Wow, that nun can look SCARY when she wants to- "Can ye please NOT experiment on-"
"Miss Solstice, don't start that again. Uh, please."
>>The scowl turns to you, softer but still quite annoyed. "...Wh- sigh. Anon, she needs ta be careful- it's not like we can replace ye if ye break!"
"I understand you're worried about me but... well, I can feel my horn now. I think? Let's see-"
>A sputtering, pale green light flickers at the top of your head. No pain or fucked up sensory overload this time. But also no greater effect- you wanted to boop her nose dammit!
>Solstice kinda... hangs her mouth open before breaking into a smile. Furtive is barely suppressing the same, judging by her quivering face muscles.
>>The nun's smile turns into a frustrated grimace just as quickly, though. "Now- alright, ye've proven yer point- just... PLEASE be more careful. Anon- you'll sleep here for one more noight, then tomorrow we'll, er, introduce you to the population."
>>>"Oh, now who's speaking of her as if she's a lab animal?"
>>"Yes, yes, thank ye doctor- oi'll be back-" a creamy-colored head pops out of the back of her clothes, leaning on her neck. "OH! Hopefully soon this toime." And out the door she goes.
>You hear muffled arguing. Things like 'don't make me carry ye by yer scruff!'
>And then silence, leaving you and the doctor alone again.

"Can I ask you two questions?"
>>>"You just di- d'oh. You got me- what is it?"
"Are you sweating? You seemed kinda... like Lemon Bars was really heavy."
>>
>>43326945
>>>"To me, he was. Let's just... no, no implications or euphemisms here. You may have guessed that I had a personal reason to treat your numbness with such urgency."
"You got hurt?"
>>>"Correct. Too much energy can gradually damage one's internal magic, think of it like cooking your nerves- and the young are much worse at bleeding it off. It balances out because usually foals are much worse at *building* it up in the first place."
>She sighs, looks away, almost embarrassed?
>>>When she looks back, there's sadness in her eyes. Possibly the first sad pony you've ever seen. "Solstice is right, though- I was very hasty in making these assumptions, and I owe you an apology."
"I don't think you do. Well, maybe... but you were right, so-" you flash your light for emphasis. "Not sure how to grab stuff but I'll figure it out from here."
>>>"That's how it's done- anyone who tells you they can help you master basic telekinesis, or find your cutie mark? Scam artist."

>A bit later...
>Lunch today is fish, beans and cornbread. Which- apparently ponies eat fish.
>Yippee!
>MEAT!
>Furtive is watching you while she eats her own lunch. 'No particular reason, just monitoring you.' she says.
"So... you burned your brain or something, right? Is there a cure? or a-"
>>>"There are several- but they don't always work, and they can be expensive to procure. And the cheaper treatments are long-term and can have nasty side effects."
"Well that sucks."
>>>"Language, filly. And don't worry about me, I've got enough strength to get by. It's not like I'm a court mage or anything- just a pediatrician."
"But what if you gotta pick a pony up?"
>>>"That's what muscle and legwork is for- I'm quite proud to defy the stereotype of our tribe as sickly shut-ins."
"Huh?"
>She pauses, perhaps thinking of how much to tell you?
>>>"Oh- just- criminals targeting a unicorn, they always expect magic. They prepare to break a telekinetic hold, or snatch a weapon... The smart ones will bring smoke bombs mixed with onion juice or chili peppers... " She slows down as she finishes that statement, eyeing you for any trauma triggers or whatever. "And then I sock them in the jaw. Er, I didn't remind you of anything, did I?"
"Nah. Wait, how often does an orphanage doctor get mugged!?"
>>>"Not often- but it used to happen, back when... well, I *did* make you read my family history. I wasn't always more trouble than I'd be worth in ransom, let's leave it at that."

>The doc leaves as the evening darkens- yep, you glance out the window and the sun is still in the same spot it was this morning. Celestia's horn must have a dimmer switch.
>Cheerilee darts in with charts and papers and pencils. A reading lesson is forced upon you-
>Pony script isn't that funky- in fact it's probably more straightforward than latin-as-english letters are, but you're so damn used to the convoluted unspoken rules that it's...
>Yeah. Slow going. Cheerilee remains patient but she's clearly a little frustrated by the end.

>Down goes the sun. Up the moon.
>The night brings a sudden chill with it- gotta close that window

>Fuck.
>Solstice took her ruler with her at some point.
>You'd be hard-pressed to work the latch with your mouth when it's closed. No way in hell you can do that when it's open-
>Who the FUCK designs a horse window to-

>Shit.

>Alright.
>Well.
>You know how to make a light.
>Now how do you do anything more?
>Er-
>Maybe try bending the light?
>No, that's retarded and it just makes it wobble.
>That's... SOMETHING? You don't know what exactly, and it doesn't *feel* like the correct answer.
>Try imagining the light at the window? Really hard?
>...No. Nothing, no change at all.

>Twiggy Spankies made it look so easy in the show!

>Nope.

>Alright, now-
>"Oi, what's the emergency?" A guard at the door nearly scares you out of your skin.
"Uh- wha?"
>"You was blinkin S-O-S! I ran inside from me post and-"
>He peers through the the room. "What's- ugh, yeah alroight, lemme get that winder fer ye. No more cryin' wolf! That pattern's for emergencies only!"
"I wasn't trying to-"
>"Jus' go to bed, filly. And if I see that pattern again, ye'd better be bleedin', got it?"
>Ugh
>No. Don't get all worked up.
>This was a successful experiment- you now know ponies have morse code. That's very useful data!
>Now go to bed. Not because he told you but because that's what you wanted in the first place!

I do appreciate the bumps. Sorry for not being very active, I usually don't have much to say but I am still very much keeping track of the story.
>>
>>43327826
>>Haven't been keeping track of chapters but this seems as good a place as any to call part 2 of the cutie mark story

>You are a man again
>Or-
>A boy?
>Or- some sort of biped
>Young, or short, judging by this green doe-eyed creature in front of you
>Or is it beneath you?
>You're sitting on it?
>Yes, of course, you're riding
>But it gnaws at the bridle
>It bucks at the first opportunity-

>"'EY, ANON, DEAR-" A Scot- er, Irish- no, West Trottingham accent yanks you from whatever the fuck dream that was.
"Huh- wha?" You rub your eyes with one hoof as you sit up in bed
>Blink the blur out of your eyes. A seafoam green face peers out of a black and white curtain. It's Solstice!
>And Cheerilee's head is peeking in the doorway, her body turned round the corner.
>"Sorry about tha', dear." A black-sleeved leg rubs the back of a black-veiled head. "It's past wake-up toime- I know ye havne been sleepin' well lately, and oi suppose ye could go back to bed, but ye'd be missing breakfast-"
"Food good!" You're already wiggling ass-first out of bed.
>>"Miss Solstice!" Cheerilee uses that high inflection teacher's pet voice. "You're forgetting-"
>"Ach! Oi am NOT! Was just gettin' to tha'-" Solstice calls out, her face craned backwards.
>Fuck, these beds are high- you're the equivalent of like a 10 year old, right? why are these beds so HIGH-
>Solstice turns back to you- "So, with your circumstances, and, er, condition, that is- we never, uh..."
>You finally finagle out of bed, dropping the last couple inches onto your rump with a disturbingly whimsical squeaky hammer sound and a cute little oof out yo mouth
>Shut up, you, you're not cute!
>Wait, what's that on your neck? Warm. Air- Oh, that's a nun breathing down your neck with a look of concern.
>Riiiight, you did just fall on your ass and scowl at the bed for at least five seconds straight.
"Uh... I'm good. Really."
>"Uh huh. Well- er- as oi was-"
>>Cheerilee scoots into the room and talks over her. "She's TRYING to say 'we never asked if you had any religious obligations- you know, if you family had a particular god they pledged to, or whatever-"
>"Yes- the orphanage is a temple to Lady Utopia, but nopony will mind if ye keep a different name in yer prayers- or none at all, tha's foine too."
>Ok. Ponies have religion beyond kissing Celestia's ass. Alright. Makes sense- wait did that nun just say you could be an atheist? Seriously?
>Also...
>You really don't know how to answer that question. You're not an atheist, you were basically raised semi-Christian by osmosis, but you've never really been *religious* either.
>Then again
>You fucking died and got reincarnated in a land of magical horses- the idea that some loony pagan god bought your karmic debt and is having a good old-fashioned Greek Tragicomedy Laugh at your escapades is far less depressing than the alternative, you think.
>Wait- they're staring at you with mild but obvious worry
>Fuck, you zoned out yet AGAIN
>>
>>43328714
"I'm ok- was just thinking." Nailed it.
>"Hm- aye, fair 'nuff. Nothing?"
"Nope. Total blank- can't even remember which gods do what."
>Oh you fucking dipshit why did you say it like that-
>Cheerilee locks eyes with you and draws some symbol over her chest while you can barely see, out of the corner of your eyes, a horrible smile struggling to take form upon the nun's face
>>"Miss Solstice- maybe later? We already missed morning service and we'll miss breakfast too at this rate-"
>Oh thank you, you big burgundy idiot. You make a mental note to pulverize the CMCs when they try to mind control her with a date rape drug in like... fuckin 40 years or something? You dunno.
>"Yer roight, Cheery. We'll have plenty o' toime for that later- Lil' Anon will be fast-trackin' a lot o' her lessons, after all."

>They both file out of your medical ward, pausing long enough for you to catch up.
>Solstice runs out ahead a bit. Cheerilee hangs back with you, talking low in your ear.
>>"You'll be sleeping in my room- our room, I guess."
"Ok-"
>>"So- Utopia's the guardian of orphans. Also families. Sorta medicine, too- and schools, but not really, it gets kinda muddy with who's supposed to own what-"
>Of course. The minister's actually cool but the minister's daughter wants to proselytize. Oldest story in the book-
>Wait, no, ministers want converts and their attention whore daughters are freaks and jailbirds. Or something- that was an episode of the Simpsons, wasn't it?
>Well- yeah. One of the early (good) seasons, and it can't have pulled that plot out of thin air, so it must KIND OF be-
>Eh
>Point is, this situation is fucking weird.

>You leave the semi-restricted area of the infirmary- the noise of ponies starting their day blends into the background. Cheerilee is still yapping-
>>"...Yeah, and- oh, Utopia is just what ponies call her. Minotaurs think she's a bull named Utonium- I think that's silly, but Miss Solstice says fathers are just as important and I should mind my tongue-"
>Oop- bathroom time
>You mention it to Solstice, and she stops outside an open hallway leading to, well, the shitters
>Oh fuck you really gotta-
>You speed up to a trot, and somehow do so without tripping over your mismanaged legs
>Yet, you skid to a halt when you get in there. It's a big trench with buttons (for flushing)
>There's only mares and fillies in here- somehow you doubt ponies care, so it's gotta be a difference in construction rather than propriety.
>...You sure it's not the fact that you just walked into the girls' room like it was nothing that's bothering you?
>...
>No? Yeah, no, and that's what's-
>Oh shut the fuck up and take a piss already, folks are starting to slightly sneer at you like you're retarded
>Ah fuck, there's Cheerilee coming right up next to you, still talking about the Horse Bible or whatever-
>>
>>43328760
>>"-Oh, and she's usually depicted with a set of triplets. Some cultures think she molded them out of goop and dust, some say they're the souls of the first three orphans who ever died unloved- maybe it's both? I think it could be both-"
>Yep. Y'know, it's not even the open bathroom design that bugs you. Well- that bugs you some, you want your own damn hole to shit in, but you don't NEED one. You can use a urinal trough or whatever, you can use one with backwards-facing plumbing.
>Nah it's the casual conversation- what the fuck, are you in Rome or something? Oh dear God if they make you share an ass sponge-
>Oh, good- that's a bidet over there, with some mare shaking her rump over it-
>She's looking over here now- she's confused and mildly- oh fuck, you idiot, you didn't even try to-
>>>"Uh, did I miss a spot? You were staring, so-"
>>"Don't mind her, Miss Croquet- she's a little messed in the head. Zones out a lot-"
"Uh- yeah, sorry. Wasn't staring at *you* even if- uh..."
>Miss Croquet fixes you with a stink eye and a cocked head, but shrugs and walks off after a second or two

>Okay
>Bathroom done
>Not out in the hall yet- Cheerilee is checking her retainer in the mirror
>You absentmindedly twirl around, giving your whole body a once-over
>Light scarring on your neck and chin, but besides that? Fine.
>Your heart only seizes up a LITTLE when you look at your own twat and tits
>Deep breath- not too deep, don't need everyone realizing you're a freak- that's right, just play it off as persistent bewilderment. Just an amnesiac filly-
>>"ANON!"
"GAH! Whatwhatwhat-"
>>"Sorry. You're clean, let's go!"
>Four pairs of hooves clip-clop against the tile floor, carrying two fillies out to the hardwood hallway outside
>Solstice is there, tapping her hoof. When she glances at, and recognizes, you, she looks like she was about 10 seconds from asking if you'd fallen in.
"Sorry, ma'am, uh-"
>>"Had to check my retainer." Cheerilee licks the corners of her teeth for emphasis.
>"Uh huh. Well- come along now, we've wasted enough toime already! Oi'll be quite cross if oi miss baggis day!"
>Judging from Cheerilee's expression, and the fact that baggis sounds like haggis, you can only assume it is indeed a pony version of haggis.
>You have a mouth, fucktard, ASK!
"Uh- what's baggis?"
>>"Oooh, it's an old Trottingham favourite! Just wait and see!"
>Cheerilee sneers- her green face, stuck-out tongue and furrowed nose all say 'if she told you, you'd be running already!'

>Dining room, ahoy!
>The line is short. Trays are...
>Okay, you have no idea how you're going to balance this on your back-
>You did not, in fact, balance it on your back. Shit.
>Thankfully, Solstice remembers your.. everything.. and steps up before you have to ask. "Cheerilee, take her over to the lil' nook. She'll hafta stick with us a bit longer, it seems- I'll bring th' food shortly."
>Eh, not like you had plans anyway
>>
>>43328848
>Cheerilee leads you past a frankly terrifying wall of eyes in your direction- they must've heard the tray clatter. You brace yourself for the ridicule that never seems to come.
>It's fine, it's fine, just- oh, we're here?
>A little shrine underneath a bigass painting- almost a church frescoe, with a smattering of tables and cushions all round. It screams 'faculty area' without actually seeming to be one.
>>Cheerilee sits across from you, the painting behind her. "You know how Miss Solstice can be- we might be here for a little bit..." She pulls out a little mirror and set of tools, and starts *actually* maintaining her bigass dental thingy. "She means well, she's just got a ton to do every day."
>
>
>So. The painting.
>The background is a bunch of clouds with details that just barely hint at a fortress or city, without taking too much gravity away from the four subjects.
>The center: An alicorn, pale pinkish-white- like human skin white, not white-white- wearing... a frock coat? A gambeson? It's a little impressionist, you're not sure-
>Right. Alicorn- divine figure, which means this is likely Utopia. Hello, duh? Of course it is!
>She's shielding some ghostly figure underneath her. A figure she watches with a beatific smile, shielded with Her wings and Her billowing garment-
>Oh. You get it now- that's an angel baby suckling at Her teat.
>...the man part of you is slightly disturbed. The filly part of you feels weird and warm in the stomach and is trying very hard not to go 'awwwwwww'
>It's a battle you'll lose if you don't divert your attention! Those three solid figures around her-
>Three equally angelic fillies, brightly furred and wearing well-worn and scarred armor, guard the left, right and bottom
>
>To the left of Utopia, a battle-scarred filly with a jet-black bowl cut and fur as green as yours. Her right hoof rests in the stirrup-like foregrip of a burning spear planted in the cloud; she's scowling in the direction of some nebulous, red, Evil Unknown Force, which the artist has shaded in such a way to suggest it's receding from the watchmare's vigil. No, wait, she's not scowling- that's a wild grin. She's challenging evil, and it's too chicken to take the field.
>Cheerilee glances up, traces the trajectory of your eyes, cranes her neck towards the painting. "Oh- that's Buttercup. Least that's what ponies call her. Every goddess needs an angel who just hits stuff that needs hitting. Heh."
>
>At the bottom: Pink, with a big red bow and a long, orange mane. Holding a book in the crook of her left foreleg, while almost reaching out to the viewer with her right. An expression of calm under pressure- not apathy, but a professional in her element. Yeah, you get it- she's greeting you at the gates.
>>The book looks like it has writing on it, but it's just scribbles. Cheerilee leans over and whispers- "Blossom. It's a special book- she keeps track of everypony's family. So she can help you meet them, no matter where they ended up."
>>
>>43328864
"What if they're jerks?"
>>"Heh. That's what Buttercup is for."
>Well
>That's unlikely to be relevant to you even if it does turn out to be true-
>Unless
>Did this body have its own set of parents?
>Well?
>Might be important to know if you're a ghost possessing a girl who died, or if this is just your body reconfigured- what the fuck was that dream about!?
>Nonono you're too hungry for another existential crisis. Look at the pretty painting or something! You still have an angel you haven't gawked at!
>
>Off to the right, a blue filly with a golden mane is dancing in the sky, accompanied by a cavalcade of woodland creatures and little cherubs dancing above her while she holds her forelegs up in sheer wonder. The position of her hooves, the shape of her mouth, even the slight thinness to her chest- she's meant to be singing loud and proud. The little symbols on her friends suggest they're singing back in every language.
>Heh. She seems familiar
>...this whole thing seems-
>Wait. There's latin lettering above the filly, in gold thread. Spanish. You suck at Spanish but you're pretty sure it's something like 'everyone's my brother and sister.'
"Bubbles."
>>Cheerilee sputters and almost stabs herself with a screwdriver. "Yeah! Are you remembering somethhing!?"
"Uhhh- not sure. Quick! What did you say the minotaurs call her? Him? whatever-"
>>"Utonium?"
>No fucking way.
>It's the powerpuff girls?
>Shit, Cheerilee is looking at you and your expression of 'WTF' is probably not helping anything. Think of something!
"Uh- I-"
>Preferably something that doesn't make you look (or feel) retarded!
>You watched all sorts of old cartoons at your granddad's house! Go with that!
"...Yeah. Uh, grandpa loved reading to me about this sorta thing...." And you recall the trip to CN Studios as a kid. "-even went on a pilgrimage, I think? I can't even remember his face or his name, but... I'm positive we did."
>...Oh. Oh shit.
>Your memory of your human life ain't as fucked as you pretend
>But now that you're really thinking about it? Your brain is trying to meld names and faces into some pony form and just dropping everything, leaving only the spiritual concept with no like... hard mental image.
>Just big green people with question marks for faces and gibberish for names. FUCK you can even remember your grandma's goofy sweaters, but not her FACE?
>It's weird.
>And depressing.
>...Incredibly depressing. Yep. Those are tears-
>And that's a filly wrapped around you. She says nothing, just holds you while you stare at a giant painting of a ponified Blossom posed like she's Saint Fucking Peter...
>Weird. You dunno if you believe any of this crap, but the idea that she *might* be able to sort your memory, some day- it takes the edge off a little, if you let yourself get lost in the moment.

It would be hilarious if Anon just blurted this out to the CMC while telling the story. I'm assuming she left that part out kek. Luckily as anons we possess True Flashback perception and can experience the backstory like it's happening in real time including Anon's most intimate thoughts.

>Cheerilee holds the hug for a while; you find yourself pushing into it, rubbing your cheeks together
>"Aw, lookit you two. Come on- lunch is..." Solstice calls out, snapping you to attention. You open your eyes to see that she's looking right at Cheerilee's toolset with slight disappointment. "Ach. I knew ye were coverin' for her, Cheery. Ye cannae do that- we cannae help her if... oh, nevermoind. Take yer places, girls."
>You pull away from your wine-colored space heater and sit your ass down on a cushion. Three trays, each containing a mug and a big steaming... feed bag? are plopped down round the table.
>Solstice breathes deep- you can even see the steam diverting its course straight to her nose. "Ah, just like me mum used ta make." And then- yep, she buckles the feedbag on.
>Cheerilee is, expectedly, wary. She's opened it up and is picking at it in little nibbles while your supposed role model wolfs it down.
>Well
>The spinach oatmeal was great, why not give this a chance?

>If only your damn hooves weren't so numb! No, dull- the tactile sensation is so dull compared to fingers!

Hmm... dexterous tongue trick, they must do the cartoon thing where they spin their tongue in a circle and magically scoop up all the food junk on their face into their mouth while the bag is on.
In other words... skill issue.

Sunset was at this orphanage until relatively recently- recently enough that Solstice sometimes forgets she's gone for a sec:
>>43321853
>"Love, don't strain yerself- Furtive can help ye, or Sunset- she's... oh, wait, th'Princess took her... I keep-"

So, it's less that she has a personal relationship (she knows her better than the average pony but that amounts to "has met her a few times") and more that she was gonna ask "hey can send her here for a bit, I have a friendship problem she might be able to help with"

the farmpony's dialogue feels a little too expositiony, (plus it implies the Apples are price-gouging asshats). I did write that one in a hurry, shoulda edited it before posting but my mouth was numb from having fillings put in.

>Still plain, a quiet place to recharge more so than anything, and given most of Equestria was on the outside that was fine.
>It came with hearts and horseshoes engraved into the upper timbers, as well as small stars painted beneath the window arch, which gave it a little whimsy.
>Otherwise it wasn't really personalized, and the ponies that lived here last took their stuff when they moved into a proper townhouse, paintings, ornaments etc.
>The things that might've filled it were not here. No stickers, pins or other pony memorabilia, her pone plushies... left behind.
>No mare blanket either. Now she was the mare and every blanket was a mare blanket.
>Couldn't really be sad about it, not when she got up every day and went out to be surrounded by cute little horses and their antics. And get hugs. Real hugs.
>Given more time she'd collect stuff, for sure. There was a plushmancer in town she'd checked the wares of, but they were all modelled after animals and food items.
>She'd rather hold onto her bits for now and forgo the big orange carrot plush, even if the idea of having one to cuddle with was tempting.
>Like, just to have something to hold at night and be cosy.
>Uh, anyway...
>What she did have was a comfy one-pony bed with a quilt covered in a simple red, orange, yellow and pink flower pattern, one she had picked out.
>Over on the window sill were two peppermint plants in painted pots that Meadow had given her to care for after she admitted to liking mint.
>The bundles of purple flowers sticking up from the leafage were a side of the plant she'd never given thought to, up until she'd seen them. They had won her over, in a way.
>There was her desk, with nothing but a mat for a seat, a small trunk for her bits, some account keeping stuff.
>A few books on loan from Meadow that she was studying, including a thick garden encyclopedia that made her think of Bookhorse every time she touched it.
>Shelving for spare sheets and pillow cases, a couple pamphlets on her nightstand from the various gigs Anon and her had checked out...
>At least it looked like a room somepony occupied, and she tried to keep it tidy. Had to be her responsibility, since Anon was not allowed in here.
>That was a privacy rule established as soon as they worked out who was getting which room, back in the early stage of their friendship when things were more contractual between them both.
>Pressing her nose up against one of the window panes, 'Mare looking out at town, watching the lights of the buildings dim one by one in the distance, until only a few upper stories remained lit.

>Check complete, Anonmare ceased the self-molestation and got comfy again with a tired sigh.
>Pointless to drag it out, she'd already had nights of more serious attempts which ended when she got bored and simply fell asleep.
>Even if she insisted she wanted to get off, she could not get in the mood for it.
>Her eyes drifted closed again while her mind wandered over the enigma.
>She had theories.
>Theory one: she needed to wait until estrus.
>Estrus was kind of a coomer-questria thing- yes horses and all that- but the idea of hordes of horny mares dripping and raising their tails around town on the regular, it was too chaotic.
>Hadn't seen anything like that so far either, no raised tails, no distracted stallions, so unless it was extremely mild to the point of being easy to ignore...
>She'd tried discreetly asking Meadow about it too.
>When asking if she'd ever had trouble with 'heat' she just said if it gets too hot the weather team usually does a downpour or brings packed snow over from Cloudsdale.
>And asking if she ever needed help from a stallion, she predictably talked about how a couple Pegasi stallions helped put up her shop sign.
>That was as bold a line of questioning as she'd been willing to try, if ponies had some special polite social terms for periodic horniness, Anonmare didn't know them.
>Not to mention, she'd been a mare long enough that she should have experienced it at least once herself, maybe?
>Unless it was the wrong season or something.
>>
>>43337430
>Anyway, she didn't like the idea of her body deciding for her that it was time to get fucked, so hopefully this wouldn't suddenly hit her when she least expected it.
>Theory two: this was some kind of gooner purgatory version of Equestria.
>Karmic punishment, a cosmic joke, maybe Celestia herself cast a spell over the land to block masturbation.
>The impression she got of local society was that it was polite and collected, rated E for Everypony.
>Given Anon's aversion to lewdness, this could even be 'his' Equestria and ol' 'Mare just got pulled along for the ride for some reason.
>Though if this really were Anon's Equestria, he'd be stumbling out of the Everfree, injured, in the correct time period, and Fluttershy would rescue him and nurse him back to health.
>And then they'd have a dozen foals and live happily ever after, without Anonmare being present, so unless the universe figured out that the guy wanted this weird setup instead... no.
>Didn't matter anyway, whatever the reason, it was what it was.
>Going back to the theory- just because she didn't see any penises out in public didn't mean they didn't come out at night.
>Ponies here weren't featureless and there were foals running around, so they had to be getting busy behind closed doors.
>It was just a little hard to imagine how they were making it work with a nullified libido.
>So... assuming this wasn't an issue for anypony else... and making foals didn't just involve holding hooves...
>Theory three: she had a broken body.
>Didn't feel good to think about, which is why she tried not to, but it was possible.
>Maybe her brain didn't get wired in properly, still thinks there should be a dick and is 404ing.
>Definitely felt like something was missing, like there was some kind of disconnect.
>She had NOT mentioned this to Anon, since it hadn't been any of his business.
>It didn't change how they hung out, or get in the way of enjoying other things, it was a problem confined exclusively to this room.
>The only reason she cared about it now was-
>Yep, letting Anon in.
>If she hadn't found herself agreeing to tying a knot with him, she would have worked it out in her own time.
>Now there was pressure to getting a definitive answer sooner rather than later.
>What did he say again? 'I was thinking we could have a family'.
"Goddamnit Anon..."
>She pressed a hoof into the mattress and then rolled over onto her other side, clutching at the quilt.
>Too much at once.
>What was the other thing he said? 'I'll show you what it means to be loved'.
>Knead knead.
>She wasn't mad.
>Today was okay.
>All she had to do was make tomorrow work, keep everything moving.
>She had a job, she had a friend and she had a plan.
>The only thing she needed was for her brain to shut up and let her sleep.

I adore the little pony daisy chain, it really is a cute way to lead foals around.
>the farmpony's dialogue feels a little too expositiony
Didn't come across overly out of place though it was a bit of a cold utilitarian way to explain logistics to a foal, even though our Anonymares is well capable of understanding. The edit does feel more natural.
Although seeing an edit live is triggering my editing-ptsd, you have no idea the edits and word shuffling I just underwent kek

>Took him a minute before he got the message.
>"Ah, sorry."
>The guy crouched down so she could look at him on level, not that she could make out any features.
>"You hungry?"
>He pulled his hand out of his pocket, clutching a fist full of spaghetti.
>Anonmare stared as he began to offer it out to her, only for the oily pasta to slip through his fingers-
>"Oh shit! Fuck!"
>The idiot wobbled and nearly lost his balance as he tried to catch it, slapping his hand against the ground to steady himself before he could topple off his feet.
>They both watched as the spaghetti dropped farther and farther into the void below them, until it was just a speck that promptly vanished.
>Yeah...
>When they looked back at each other, the dude kind of shrugged.
>"I don't hate you."
>What?
>Before she could react his greasy hand was in her mane, petting her.
"For fucks sake-"
>She tried to lean her head away but he was persistent.
>It only lasted a second before he withdrew his hand and stood back up, rummaging in his other pockets.
>"Here, I have something for you."
>He pulled out some kind of polaroid photograph and placed it in her hoof as she reached out to receive it.
>Hold on, she knows this one.
>There's Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack...
>This is the one- how'd he get this?
>When she looked back up, he was already walking back into the distance with his back turned to her.
"Hey! Anon! Where are you going?"
>He just raised his palm up, fingers spread and kept going without looking back.
"Anon! Hey! Get back here!"
"HEY! ANON!"
>She opened her eyes a sliver and blinked.
>>
I've been waiting to write this part for a really, really long time... we finally made it.
I liked Anonymare's little dream sequence too, they're a cool little narrative playbox, you can make 'em metaphorical, nonsensical... and the reader can decide if it means anything or not.

Oh if only Luna were here

>Goddammit
>Stay calm, one of the pegasi can probably get you down
>No need to scream
>They'll see you
>Aaaaany minute now-
>
>
>
>...You forgot you're green on green, didn't you?
>Yes (you) did, Inner Anon. Yes, you did.
>Alright-
>Deep breath
>And-
"_____"-
>BOOM
>Rain bursts out from above
>FUCK
>FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
>DAMMIT
>You and your pride, just HAD to-
>UGH
>
>
>Okay. So.
>The tree canopy seems to be keeping the worst of the rain off you, but it's still drowning your feeble little voice out
>And your fur is making you blend in with the leaves
>And you can't really move around to signal for help since you need to be gripping that branch
>FUCK
>Why are you like this?
>Always eager to rush into a problem, except the few times you actually SHOULD be acting without thinking-
>
>
>You're not confident enough with that hoofy trick to climb down. Yeah, no shit.
>You may not miss being human or male
>You may be disturbed by that
>But you definitely miss being tall and having hands! REAL hands that don't depend on you learning a new fucking primary sense!
>You miss your gun
>You miss your tools
>You miss being taken seriously
>You miss your car-
>Lost. Like your tears in this rain-
>Oh, there's the crying. Yep.
>
>
>Y'know, you both died in battle (technically)
>And you saw a rainbow-
>Vikings had a rainbow bridge or something, right?
>Maybe she made it here too?
>...no. Don't set yourself up for heartbreak.
>
>You know what else you miss? Your fucking balls.
>Metaphorically.
>You dunno if it's femininity or horse bullshit but you never woulda put up with this shit as a man
>You have... had... the detention records to prove it.
>Right on your permanent record- Anon is a loud little asshole who refuses to sit quietly
>Heh. You walked right out of school, skipped detention. They called your mom, but who the fuck cares? She was gonna find a reason to scream at you anyway so why ruin ALL of your day?
>
>
>Okay. What the actual fuck, why is nobody looking for you?
>The headmistress sent you out here. That farm guy told you to pick peaches. Someone should've guessed where you were by now!
>...You're not even trying to hide, so.. would that... cartoon crap apply here?
>Even if not, you're still fairly well camouflaged.
>
>
>...You are an idiot.
>Your light! It might be green but it's still glowing, that oughta stick out like a sore thumb!
>Flash an SOS!
>Blink blink blink bliiiiiink bliiiiink bliiiiink blink blink blink
>Hey, it's easy now! Easy as... is it opening an eye or closing it? Feels like both.
>Come onnnnn, SOS SOS SOS-
>"OH, THERE YOU ARE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP HERE!? YOU'VE HAD THE ENTIRE STAFF-"
>The voice of a female pegasus blends into the tinnitus and haze of pure, indignant rage
>Blaming you? Yeah, ok, you made a tactical error, but don't act like-
"THAT FARMER SENT ME TO PICK PEACHES! SO I'M PICKING-"
>>"Is that her? Ask her why she didn't just grab 'em with magic!" You hear that asshole's voice over the roar of water
>>
>>43339239
>Ok
>Getting. REAL. fucking tired. Of folks not letting you-
"My magic doesn't work right! I had to get close! I tried to explain but-"
>"Quit making excuses, kid! Just hold still while I-"
>Yeah, whatever, just get you down, you can sic the headmistress on someone after-
>>"Excuses? Ugh, typical! She was standing in the field gripin' to herself when I told her-"
>Hey fuck you too buddy!
>You wanna be a dick? Fine!
>"Wait, what are you- no nononoNO-"
>The intrusive thoughts win.
>Before you've even thought about it, you're hurtling to the ground in the direction of his voice, screaming whatever multilingual swears you know
>The last thing you see is a pegasus mare spinning backwards after being hit in the nose with a peach

>***Be Anonmare***
"Oh for- YES, TWILIGHT?"
>Lavender Lardass blushes, squees and scoots around on her rump as she puts her hoof down and shifts her weight.
>"Um, yes- did you just say you threw yourself... out of a tree?"
"Yes. Yes I did. Unfortunately this is not kindergarten, so I cannot give you extra credit for reading- er, listening comprehension."
>Heh. She's all mad now. She's cute when she's mad- not like Trixie, Trixie's HOT when she's mad.
>"Anon, come on, you KNOW that's-"
"Yes, Sweetie Belle?" You glance at Junior Marshmallow, whose hoof is up. Twilight's face evolves into Mega-Scrunch at being ignored.
>>"Uh- what's this have to do with your cutie mark?"
>The CMCs, Spike and even Twilight all murmur in agreement. Pinkie Pie...
>Yeah. She gets it. She knows what dealing with hardasses who don't listen is like.
"...Sweetie Belle, what IS a cutie mark?"
>>"What!?"
"I'm asking. You're trying so hard to get one, but do you know what a cutie mark REALLY is?"
>>"It's a mark on your flank that means you're basically a grownup who knows what she's doing in life- right?"
>Scootaloo buzzes in the air for a bit as she chimes in- "It's a stamp of awesomeness to show what you're good at!"
>And Apple Bloom- "It's yer connection to family n' kin and tha's why ah gotta have an apple mark...." Her eyes dart around nervously. Twilight's eyes roll into the back of her head.
"Wrong. That's what a cutie mark signifies in Equestria, but that's not what it IS."
>Out of the corner of your eye, you catch Twilight's face softening. Nodding. As if she's suddenly remembering why you're friends more often than not.
"A cutie mark, and this goes to ALL O' YA, only happens when you reach a greater understanding of yourself and your place in the world. It's a moment of revelation. A lot of ponies think it's divine revelation, personally I don't like assuming the gods don't have anything better to do, but-"
>You walk the short distance to where Swibble sits, and stroke her mane. What? You're female, and a mom, it's not weird!
"It isn't maturity, it's the sign that you're taking the first step TO maturity, and that's why it happens to come with extra privilege in our society. Not the other way around."
>>
>>43339262
>Excuses? Ugh, typical! She was standing in the field gripin' to herself when I told her-
Assuming this knucklehead survives a tactical filly strike I'd strangle him myself. Why would a filly strand herself doing things the hard way if she could just magic the peaches down? Adults even if busy working are responsible and should be supervising. Kill him Anonymares!
...I mean... teach him a friendship lesson!
>>
>>43339262
>>>Pinkie leans in as you go back to your spot, whispering loudly as she side-eyes you. "HINT HINT- there's a reason we've all been telling ya to stop trying to 'get a cutie mark' and start living!"
>She winks at you as she returns to her upright ponksition
"So, what does me jumping out of a tree have to do with getting my cutie mark? It's called setting the stage. I was kind of a cunt as a kid- not entirely my fault, but I had problems that I refused to let anyone deal with. So- where was I?"
>>>"You left off at 'splat!"
"Right! Thank you, Pinkie, I left off at 'splat.'" You share a neenerneener with the cupcake craftspony

>***Be Filly Anon*
>Be a pile of aching limbs
>Welp
>You failed to die. Good for you.
>You can still feel all your limbs so you didn't break your back.
>Fuck.
>You were kind of banking on not having to deal with that shit-
>Ha ha ha no you're not admitting that was an attempt to-
>"ACH, thank Utopia and Her Angels you're alive!" Solstice is looming over you, drawing... a cross on her chest!?
>No. It's turned 45 degrees. She drew an X. For chemical X. Ha. Ha.
>You hear Cheerilee's voice off to the side, in the distance- Furtive too. Of course, the designated teacher's pet is getting the doctor
>Wait
>You blink the crap outta your eyes and see Furtive standing over you.
>ohthatcan'tbegood-

>??? Later
>Be still alive. Somehow.
>Back in your old room.
>Fucking hell.
>Remember like an hour ago (well, an hour for you, minus whatever- you know what you mean)
>Remember that? Remember saying you need to fucking think except when you don't?
>This was a DO moment not a DON'T moment.
>What the shit were you even trying to do!?
>Land on that farmer and cripple him?
>
>
>....
>God you're a piece of shit. He was kind of a dick to you for all of a minute, total, and-
>Ugh.
>Maybe you deserve to be in a padded cell.
>Only man on Earth to get a ticket to Equestria and that's how you spend your first 3-ish days?
>Yeah. Uh huh.
>Welp, your senses are back in full force. Everything hurts and you can hear the doctor and nun talking out in the hallway.
>Give the ol' ears a swivel-
>>"-And that, Winter, is one reason why you should have told the staff."
>"Why didnae she just-"
>>"According to Cornflake, she tried to explain, got cut off and told to do it anyway, and did so- leading to her predicament."
>"Ach! Oi'll just hafta never let her outta moi-"
>>"You will do no such thing, headmistress." You hear a large rump thud onto the floor.
>"Francesca, she's-"
>>"I am invoking my right as the physician of this facility. Shut up and I won't have to include you in my reports. Ap ap- yes, my reports. You are too forgiving, too often, Winter Solstice."
>Aw shit.
>Well you did kind of accept that you-
>>"Cornflake has had a nasty habit of being too brusque with the girls, none of the colts like working with him, and now his stubborn demeanor has exacerbated whatever underlying psychosis Anon suffers from."
>Uh
>Wow, holy shit
>>
>>43339304
>Well
>Guess that clears your conscience?
>Heh.
>Y'know, you should still be concerned at how easily you jumped off a tree, dipshit.
>...Wait. Psychosis!?
>You're not-
>TREE, DIPSHIT!
>..
>They're still talkin'-
>"Ach. Oi suppose he has been a bit, er, problematic? But he gets the trees just roight-"
>>"He is a skilled arborist, yes, but that cannot come at the cost of our charges' wellbeing."
>"Wellbe-? Doctor, he's not-"
>>"I am not saying he is intentionally harmful, or I'd be calling the constabulary without your input. As it stands, my report will simply be a statement that we have too many foals with traumatic issues to keep a comparatively careless worker around, and that is why he is no longer employed here. Need I remind you EVERYPONY here is also a foalsitter, in practice if not-"
>mrmr
>mumbl
>>"Winter, there's a REASON you need at least some kind of teaching experience to-"
>"Francesca, he's..."
>>"Your nephew, I know. And that makes it worse- if you don't fire him now, and something more permanent happens later? It'll be your job for hiring him, my job for *not* going over your head, AND some foal's life or limbs."
>Solstice says nothing, but you think you hear her shuffling around.
>>"Solstice- he's a liability. AUGH, This can go two ways: you can fire him for an 'incompatible ethic' or attitude or whatever- now, hold on, I mean a no-fault admission that he just isn't cut out for working here. He walks out, no harm, no foul, these incidents happen sometimes. OR-"
>Sharper taps on the ground. You bet Furtive is getting up in Solstice's face.
>>"-I can *formally* invoke Luna's Law, go over your head, to the high court, to a special parliament session, Tartarus, even to the Princess if I have to. And it won't be pretty for anypony involved. I really do not want to do that, but I'm our physician *first* and everything else *second*."
>
>>"Winter. Say something.
>
>
>>"Winter. Please, don't make me-"
>"YER RIGHT! Oh, dear... Yes, you're right. I'll- er, oh dear, how am oi-"
>>Sigh. "Look, just, write a letter of recommendation. Stress that he's very good at his job, normally a decent fellow, but very much not able to double as a foalsitter and intermittent teacher. This will align with the report I'd PREFER to write- That I KNOW he isn't intentionally cruel, but his inattentiveness and inability to adjust.."
>"Yes, Francesca, yer roight. Toime to do me damned job and take accountability. Thank ye. Let me know when-"
>>"I... will not. Right now, Anon needs-"
>You can hear Solstice grumbling, breathing heavy, but she relents. "Roight. Oi spent a couple hours with her, ye spent most of a few days. Do yer job while oi do moine, but oi'd still like to know when she wakes up at least. Oi presume..."
>>Sigh. "Yes, Francesca, I am formally overriding your care plan. Anonymares is intelligent, almost disturbingly so given her age and brush with banditry- let me handle her rehabilitation, or we'll have problems."
>Oh.
>Fun.
>>
>>43339405
>Heavy, slow taps. The nun is outta here-
>Sharper taps, inbound.
>>"Good evening, Anon. How much did you hear?"
>
>
>Wait, what?
>>"Hm- I could've sworn I cast that sensor correctly, perhaps I forgot to carry a blue somewhere-"
>Rustling of paper, somewhere to the side.
>The grim realization that you can't look in the direction of-
>No, no, your legs hurt way too damn much to have a broken neck, settle the fuck down you drama queen
"I'm up... well-"
>>"Oh! I presume I caught you off guard, then?"
"..yeah? Uh- I heard you and Solstice fighting, and, ugh-"
>>"I'll get that brace off you. Needed it to safely move you, in case you DID have a spinal injury. You do not- just severe bruising and a minor fracture in your right thighbone. Left it on so you wouldn't flop out of bed."
>Huh.
>She's- cool?
>What?
>There's a bit of grunting, and motion, and a bit of jerking-
>>"There. Now, I heard you had some awkwardness in the restroom- I'm accustomed to privacy, as well, but you're going to need assistance and I assure you it's less embarrassing for us both if I hold you over a pan versus having to change your stained sheets. So, please don't fight me when, not if, you need the bedpan. Alright?"
"Uh... yeah. Ok? Um- Doctor? Why are you being, uh- nice? No, wait- that's-"
>>"It's quite alright, I think I know what you meant. Let's try something- an equivalent exchange. We take turns, either asking a question or making an assumption, and the other will either answer it or give their side of the story. And no interrupting- by either of us, in either role. Agreed?"
"Ok."
>
>
>>"Oh... You ask first. Sorry." She taps her forehead and makes a bleh face.
"...Am I in trouble?"
>>"A little bit, but not really. Attacking him over mere words was not okay- I don't think he's a bad pony but I do acknowledge that you were at your wits' end and weren't thinking clearly. In any case, he'll be out of here soon and you being stuck here I think is punishment enough."
>Furtive gets up close, looks you dead in the eyes.
>>"My turn. If you can remember the leadup to your jumping out of that tree? I need to know if your thoughts turned to the attack on your caravan."
>Hm
>You probably can't lie convincingly to her, and besides-
>Do you really want to? She's... actually treating you right.
>Fuck, if your old mom was half this nice, maybe you wouldn't have been a car hobo getting stabbed in the backwoods
>...She's just sitting there. No interruption, like she said. Alright, then-
"...Uh, yes and no?"
>>Sigh. "Well, technically that's an answer, so feel free to take your turn, but..."
"It's just- I wasn't thinking about it when I jumped. I wasn't thinking about anything, really, I was just mad at grownups kicking me around. But my brain did go there while I was stuck up waiting around."

>>When asking if she'd ever had trouble with 'heat' she just said if it gets too hot the weather team usually does a downpour or brings packed snow over from Cloudsdale.
>>And asking if she ever needed help from a stallion, she predictably talked about how a couple Pegasi stallions helped put up her shop sign.

>>The impression she got of local society was that it was polite and collected, rated E for Everypony.
This is my ideal version of Equestria, just like the show
