Chapter 1 - Agoraphobia

Load Full Story

Spaghetti Sparkle

It's been 7 long years in ponyville.

Due to anomalous objects on your person, not limited to but including your smartphone, technology has exploded over the land of Equestria though magical backwards engineering

computers, televisions and electricity sweep over the world, as well as other great technologies

you were given a medal by princess Celestia for Equestrian innovation

during the ceremony, she asked if there were other wondrous technologies from my land

you explained how the internet worked

She gets really excited, as you sell it as a long distance friendship machine

you don't get any money for any of your contributions to pony society because you're marked as a class 5 mythical creature

mythical creatures aren't allowed to hold patents

DAMN IT RACISM!

Since the internet, rape attempts from fluttershy have almost ceased because of porn.

Rarity's fashion business finally boomed after Applejack launched her website: Applezon.

Pinkie Pie left the pastry business and decided to live out her hedonistic lifestyle through guildaslist

Rainbow Dash was finally allowed to join the wonderbolts after her stunt video on hooftube went viral

and Twilight Sparkle developed agoraphobia on a staggering level

you currently live and work at the video store with your best bro, Rainbow Dash

most of the movies made in the last 7 years are rip offs of the movies you had stored on your phone and hard drive

sometimes this is hilarious

sometimes it is very not

they tend to bowdlerize the endings to make everything end in friendship and giggles

you regret watching "Pony Serpico"

no one has seen Twilight Sparkle in 11 months

just as you ponder this, a bell rings signalling a customer

speak of the devil, it's Twilight Sparkle

she's different than you remember her

she's a lot skinnier and she's wearing reading glasses

she looks shocked when she sees you

she backs up a little

Hey Twilight! You forget I worked here at the video store?

Twi:"uh"

there is ultimate silence between the two of you. From what you can tell, she is sweating

Hey, hey! It's okay! I forget tons of stuff. Anything I can help you find?

she looks cornered, her eyes dart around the room

you decide to back off and let her find her own shit without saying a word

hours pass

Are you sure I can't help you out Twilight?

you can't see her

you crane your neck to see between the rows of the anime section

you spot her sitting on the ground eating dandelions from her saddlebag. She's reading the back of the boxes of various animes

she spots you staring and jumps to attention

you decide that you'd better just ignore it. She's been the only customer all day.

She finally comes up to the counter

there is a stack of animes including Rupony Kenshin and Mobile Saddle Gundam

ask her is she had trouble finding anything

she gives a micro-nod

hand her the receipt

she struggles with the signature, being a pony and all

you hear her audibly gulp

her lip quivers

Twi:"H-Hey anon, I bet it- ... it was great being P-princess Celestia'a very special student."

you notice a little indignity in her voice. She bites her lip

Hey that's not fair. I was just helping her set up the internet for everypony in Equestria. I was never her most faithful student, like you.

those words pierce deep

her eyes glisten with tears

you've been consoling a crying twilight behind the counter for about fifteen minutes

badly

If it makes you feel any better she uh... abandoned me too! uhh...

it doesn't

you decide, against your better judgment, to give her a great big bear hug

you remember when the last time a pony had developed misplaced affections for you

you had to go as far as creating the internet to placate her

why is life so hard?

through short breaths she tries to speak

Twi:"A-after you made the internet, Celestia didn't need me or my close friends' friendship reports anymore. She can get them from anypony in Equestria now. Then I became addicted to the internet and Celestia decided it was best I end my apprenticeship. With me being a sh-shut-in now, I never even k-know what to say to anypony anymore, let alone to all my friends who're successful."

you stroke her hair a bit to calm her

you weren't ready for these feels

You sense that the duration of the bear hug has reached higher levels of awkward than you initially expected.

an impressive amount of tears and snot has built up on the back of your shirt

You break the hug and put your hand on her neck because it's the closest thing to a shoulder she's got

Twi:"I--I--I know it's not really your f-fault anon," she sniffles.

you can't help but feel it is your fault

she looks down at her hooves

She forlornly takes her animes and leaves the store, but not without giving you an intense look

it's not of fear or anger but something else

you have a bad feel

a feel you haven't felt since...

you're in a panic

have you set into motion another Fluttershy?

holy shit

Fluttershy may be satisfied by the internet, but Twilight's a fucking hardcore internet addict. She may not be satisfied with the crudely drawn porn of humans that Futtershy undoubtedly clops to every night.

Twilight may be as shy as Fluttershy now, but she still has magic.

that scares the hell out of you

you hear the bell ring, another customer

has she come for you?

NOPE it's fucking rainbro dash.

you let out a sigh of relief

RD:"Hey brohammer what's up? Why are you crouched behind the counter?"

you stand up quickly

Hey Rainbow, remember Fluttershy?

RD:"uh, yeah she's still one of my best friends," she says sarcastically.

Right.

RD:"What? she tryin' to rape you again? We haven't had an attempt in over 2 years."

No, but I think we have a similar situation, but much worse.

RD:"Who?"

Twilight Sparkle.

her expression immediately turns to melancholy. She knows she is no match for magic.

RD:"What'd she do?"

She uh, looked at me funny.

a familiar laugh ensues

RD:"Well anon, when you're done shitting your pants over nothing come on up stairs and get a drink with me."

Sure.

It's closing time

Twilight was your only customer today, but you should probably still check the stacks and see if anything is out of place

you notice a smell

you realize you haven't cleaned the bathroom for a few days

you go in

it's spotless, rainbow must have cleaned it

what a bro

go out to the stacks again

rearrange some of the animes twilight messed up

notice the smell again

look down at the puddle on the carpet

it's horse piss

goddamn it spaghettisparkle
