Broken Bumper

Bumper and Timidthy screamed again as Cherry Turnover and Black Orchid yanked at their underwear. Dare Devil got up again. He went for a hit but Sunset grabbed his first; she started squeezing his hand. Dare Devil cried out in pain, Cherry Turnover and Black Orchid pulled even harder. Bumper and Timidthy held back screams, they shared looks before the former unicorn nodded and spoke.

“Sunset keep fighting and hit-“ He said before another yank cut him off, Timidthy yelped in pain. Sunset then flipped Dare Devil onto the floor, she hesitantly dived onto Dare Devil and started punching him in the face. And each time Cherry Turnover and Black Orchid would pull harder and further. Dare Devil had enough and pushed Sunset off and got up as well. But before she could get her bearings Dare Devil crane kicked Sunset straight in the jaw.

She screamed in pain and fell back,

“Don’t give up Sunset!” Pinkie said.

“Yes show those brutes who’s boss!” Rarity said, Sunset smiled warmly before she ran up to Dare Devil. And kicked him in the groin, he screamed and hit the ground. Suddenly though two unholy screams broke free, everyone turned around. Just in time to see the elastic to Bumper and Timidthy’s underwear give out. As the sound of tearing filled the room and the remaining underwear snapped back.

Causing Bumper and Timidthy to scream even louder. Sunset took this moment to kick Dare Devil in the head. Knocking him out and winning the fight. Cherry Turnover and Black Orchid stared dumbfounded at Sunset.

“Now let my friend’s go!” She said and Cherry pulled out a remote and pressed a button. Once she did the cages fell apart, her and Black Orchid then quickly got off of Timidthy and Bumper. The former unicorn immediately shot up and knocked all the sushi out of his hair. He was shaking fighting every impulse in his body to not eat any of the fish. Timidthy got up as well,

“Tha-Thank you.” He said his voice sounding very weak.

“We’re just glad you're okay.” Fluttershy said,

“Yeah! Now come on let's call the police on those….” Rainbow said. Before she looked around and saw Dare Devil, Cherry Turnover, and Black Orchid was gone.

“You gotta be kidding me! They got away!” Applejack said, Rarity looked at the table and saw Bumper’s plushie. She then picked it up and walked over to the former unicorn.

“Here dearie.” Rarity said, Bumper stared at his plushie with fear as he seemed to vibrate just by looking at it. Timidthy recognized this and grabbed Bumper’s wrist.

“I think it’s better we keep him away from that. Along with fish in general.” Timidthy said, ‘Want……sushi!’ Bumper thought in the back of his head.

“Alright then.” Applejack said before she lifted the two boys into her arms, and the mane seven filled out of the warehouse. Ready to get their friend’s home as soon as possible.

It was near midnight as Bumper and Timidthy we’re as clean as a whistle. But Bumper tossed and turned in his bed; he lacked his plushie. Much too embarrassed and afraid to be around it; the former unicorn then shot out of bed. His entire body was shaking as his mouth watered he wanted sushi. Bumper looked over to Timidthy and saw his best bud was still sleeping.

He got up from his makeshift bed and quietly left the room. Bumper snuck into the kitchen and opened the fridge; after some searching he found a small container. His hands shook as he opened it; it was sushi. Bumper hated doing it but he had stole the container from Rarity’s purse. He wasn’t sure what had come over him but he was slightly glad he had did it before.

Bumper’s face began to heat up as he picked up a piece and ate it. He practically inhaled the rest if the sushi. Slowly yet surely losing control. Once Bumper was done he put the container back in the fridge. And closed it, the former unicorn licked his lips.

He needed more.

He turned around hoping that he could maybe find some money around the house. And buy some cheap sushi; but fate didn’t smile kindly on Bumper. His blood ran cold and he stopped in his tracks as Timidthy looked at him with a piercing gaze. His eyes were glowing slightly as he had a look of disappointment and anger. Timidthy cleared his throat,

“Bumper……why don’t we have a little talk?” He said calmly. Bumper winced slightly and shrunk back, Timidthy’s look softened a bit. “I’m not here to judge. I’m just here to help you to the right path.”

Bumper nodded slightly and followed the prince up the stairs. Once they we’re in the room Timidthy turned on the lights, and Bumper tried to relax his breathing. He wrapped up in his makeshift covers and avoided Timidthy’s gaze.

“Ummm……how….how much d-did….you see?” Bumper muttered much too afraid to raise it any higher,

“Just nearing the end.” Timidthy responded. Bumper blushed a deep crimson,

“I-I’m sorry! I couldn’t help myself! I wish I could just have a phobia of sushi! At least I’d avoid it like the plague! But with this stupid obsession I hate sushi but I want it so much!” He said tears staring to flow from his eyes. Timidthy hugged Bumper, “You have to help me.”

“Don’t worry we just need to try harder. Tomorrow we can get some of those patches. And maybe we can try to help you further with your plushie. But tonight I’m gonna try something a bit unorthodox.” Timidthy said soothingly. He then went to the rooms only dresser he pulled out a medium sized leather portable suitcase. The leather suitcase had Timidthy’s cutiemark on it as the former alicorn walked back over to Bumper. The friend it question raised an eyebrow,

“Wait…..how’d you get that bag here if you didn’t have it when we first came here?” He asked.

“Easy; after I visited you before our “wonderful” trip here I flew over to Ponyville with my bag and got Twilight to give this to Sunset. I was worried something bad might happen to cause you to regress back into your sad state. And well….you're pretty close as it is. So it’s time to break out everything I got!” Timidthy said his voice slowly rising in confidence, Bumper blushed.

“You’d really do that for me?” He asked,

“I’d do that for Dare Devil, Cherry Turnover, and Black Orchid. I’d never leave a pony that’s in pain or needs help.” Timidthy replied. Bumper sniffed and hugged his alicorn best bud,

“Thank you!” He said.
