Author's Note

Sorry for not updating lately but life really gets in the way sometimes but I'd like to point out this chapter gets a little emotional.

Running From Yourself

Binkey was sucking on one of his pacifiers as his mind was in panic, how!? How could his secret obsession get out!? He'd have to move in order to escape the torment! As Binkey was trying (and failing) to calm himself. Spice stroked the left side of his cutiemark.

Remembering this flustered but calmed him. Crepe was investigating outside to see if this really was as bad as they all thought. While Serenity sat on Crepe's bed waiting anxiously for his return. Binkey finally took the pacifier out of his mouth as he steadied his breathing.

"You okay?" Spice said,

"I-I think so." Binkey said.

"Your sure?" Spice said as she saw Binkey's lip was trembling,

"NO! I've never felt more violated and humiliated!" Binkey said as tears fell from his eye's. Spice kissed Binkey and he hugged her gently. Finally the door opened and a red blur ran in making sure to slam the door behind him. Crepe was taking in deep breaths as he slid against the door.

"Well!?" Everypony said at once,

"Brother I'm only saying this because I would hate to lie to you and I love you. But......everypony is making jokes, giggling, snickering. Planning pranks and insulting yet witty comebacks to throw at you when you leave this room. So......basically your reputation is in....shambles." Crepe said bluntly as he walked over to his brother and took Spice away from him. Expecting the incoming flood. Binkey's body turned red as he burst into tears, Spice slapped Crepe.

"You couldn't have sugar-coated it a little?" Crepe shook his head,

"It's for the best." Serenity landed on his forehead staring sympathetically at Binkey. Thing's we're going to get a little more difficult.

For the next few day's Binkey never left his room, didn't eat or drink, nor did he sleep. The who school knew about his secret, to him his life was as good as done. Crepe would often come in to hug Binkey tightly, he would do his homework and try to get him to eat something.

But.....nothing worked.

Spice would kiss him every chance she got to get some emotion other than shame and despair to light up in him. And Serenity would try to coax him to leave the room.

But he never left.

It was putting all three of them into bad moods. Crepe was worried about his brother. Spice was almost as depressed as Binkey. Feeling guilt for inadvertently making this happen. And Serenity felt so much stress and weight on her trying to figure out how to cheer up her sister and Crepe.

Finally on the sixth day Crepe grabbed his chattie and walked to Serenity and Spice's room. He shut the door and turned on his chattie, he noticed he'd gotten a friend request from Citrus and accepted. Along with adding her to his contacts. He then set up a video chat with all of them no sooner the screen split up into seven, each of his friends (and Citrus) in a box. Spice and Serenity got the message and flew down onto Crepe's head. Everypony immediately noticed the sorrow in Crepe (and the new guest's) eye's.

"What's wrong?" Timidthy asked with concern lining his voice. He sighed and told everypony the whole story. After they all heard the story they we're stunned. Finally Bumper spoke,

"Dude. Get Binkey out of your school. He's gonna be ripped to shreds."

"And send him here. He's gonna need some series therapy." Timidthy added,

"Yeah! He could use some hugs and some calming music too." Citrus said her voice surprisingly soft.

"We'll fill in the holes later in our chat. And Bumper get a microscope and your tools out theses two need one." Blood Bones said and Bumper nodded, they then said their good byes and signed off. The three smiled slightly, Crepe grabbed his chattie and trotted to his room and Binkey's room. But as they got there and opened the door the room seemed to be a bit empty. Spice, Serenity and Crepe then looked around for any sign of intruder. But.....as they all looked around they noticed all of Binkey's baby supplies and toys we're missing. They all then tore away the bunched up blankets on Binkey's bed. And to their horror the broken colt wasn't there instead was a rolled up scroll, looked to be stained with tears. Spice landed on the letter and read it out loud. By the time she had finished, Crepe was in tears, Serenity had fainted, her heart had shattered.

And it was all her fault.

Dear whoever this may concern,

It's Binkey.

And I'm very sorry for doing this but I can't take it anymore! I had to escape from this prison I once loved! If I stepped on hoof out of my room the last remaining bits of my dignity would've evaporated into thin air. Crepe if you're all reading this just know that wherever I end up so will always be in your heart. Spice, I love you more than the world and thank you for being there for me. And.....Serenity we may not be joined at the hip but even your silence could speak volumes. And....finally tell my parents you raised my well.

From (as you should have known),

Binkey

Meanwhile as the sun set all over Eqestria. From miles away from the school you could see a blue figure carrying a makeshift bag. With tears in his eye's he kept looking forward and didn't look back. As his cutiemark shined as bright as the sun. And the moon rose over his young head.
