Fallout Equestria: The Roaring Inferno

We closed the doors to our house and went to sit down on the chairs they had Happy Trees started to get more vocal "why are you treating these monsters like normal ponies and acting as if there is nothing wrong" I quickly shush her and place Gem down on the sofa because at the very least she was going to have a very comfortable sleep. After I had made her comfortable I push Happy Trees into another room and shut the door quietly "What the Buck is your problem Trees we had been accepted into a well defended settlement for the first time for years and you go and start being racist to the thestrals" I shouted at her with no remorse because she could not only killed an innocent mare but she could also just signed our own death warrants by making hundreds of thestrals, griffins, changelings and ponies had at us and want to kill us.

This argument went on for what felt like hours with Happy Trees trying to make a point but I just keep shutting her down "Happy Trees we are going to say sorry to that mare and we are going to spend some time here just so you can get used to not being like you have been around these thestrals, what if we were out in the wasteland and we saw a thestral attacking another pony I don't want you making the wrong choices out there like you nearly did in here" after I finish explaining what was wrong she just sinks and her ears just remain planted on her head and she sulks off into the back of the house and hear the door close.

The afternoon went by as Gem slept like a log for at least 4 or 5 hours and when she woke up she had completely forgotten about had happened before she went asleep she looked over at me and asked "where is Happy Trees?" And I point to the door at the far point of the room as I approach the door I knock but hear no response I push gently on the door and I realise it is unlocked.

I quickly call out "I am coming in Happy Trees." When I open the door I notice that Happy Trees is hanging from the bar on the roof which must be for thestrals to hang from I quickly run and place my body beneath hers so she is no longer hanging and I quickly shout out "Gem come here quick it is important" I quickly hear the clopping sound of hooves on a wooden floor and as soon as she sees me and Happy Trees she screams I quickly try to talk to Gem before she faints "Gem I need you to be strong and go to my bag and grab the small knife in one of the small pouches quick I can't support her for long. After about a minute she comes running in and she levitate the knife up to the makeshift noose and cuts it and I feel the weight of Happy Trees become too much and we both collapse and me and Gem hear a loud knock on the front door and I am unable to get it so Gem goes to answer it and invites whoever it is into the room, it turned out to be Sweet Moonlight and she runs to me but I quickly look at her and then Happy Trees as she has passed out and I can see her breathing very shallowly she notices and goes over and checks her pulse and listens for a minute and comes back over to me "she is stable but it would be best to take her to the resident doctor Placebo and get a professional's opinion" she says as she looks over at Gem and then over to Happy Trees and I say "could you possibly help me move her she is a lot heavier then she looks" I say with a weak chuckle at the end Sweet smiles weakly and picks up Happy Trees and proceeds to take her to the medical clinic.

When we arrived at the health clinic which was a small building with some red lights out the front it looked very similar to every other building around it but was only different by the lights out the front, we walk in the front and it is empty so Sweet Moonlight lets us in and we place Happy Trees on one of the examination beds and she says she is going to get the Doctor I think his name was Placebo. Gem sat down next to Happy Trees with her head tucked under Trees' foreleg and was trying her best to keep the unconscious Trees warm. After about 5 mins Sweet Moonlight came back in with 2 identical changelings which at first made my heart jump as they could have passed for security but as soon as one of them noticed the prone pony on the bed she rushed up to her and the other one came over to me and hugged me she said "Sweet told us what happened and me and my brother placebo just feel dread and the second we walked in here we could taste the sorrow and pain coming off of you and your compatriots and we just feel sorry for you."

After a while of hugging me the changeling released me and went to the other changeling who was a male and they looked at each other and after some time she came back over to me and said "she is going to be okay but we want to know what would have brought her to this state, ponies do not just try to do this normally.

"We were walking through to town and we noticed a big wall around a building and we wanted to check it out and when we noticed that there was an intercom we rung and entered not thinking anything of the area or the pony on the intercom and when we noticed that Sweet Moonlight was a thestral Happy trees got really silent and when Sweet said that her kind ate meat Trees put a gun up to her head and nearly shot her if it I hadn't of been there and she got mad as to why I was protected some monsters" I paused choking back tears as the weight of the situation finally had been made apparent and hit me all at once as I restarted "she still let us stay here so when we got to are house me and her had a huge argument and she went and let herself be in the room while I just slept on the couch, I woke up and I went to see if she had calmed down and she was hanging from the metal bar on the ceiling" as I finish telling the story tears are falling freely from my eyes and see the changeling and Sweet come over to comfort me as I just cry into the carapice of the changelings.

After crying for about 5 minutes I calm down enough and I see Placebo go to keep a eye on both Trees and Gem and the other changeling stays by my side I quickly ask the changelings "I'm sorry I didn't ask this sooner but what is your name?" And she looks at me and realises "oh I said my brother's name but not mine sorry about that my name is Mimic" she answers as she smiles at me "what do you do here Mimic?" "Many things but mostly a nurse for my brother here and you can tell the difference between us because Place is missing a fang and I have a tear in my wing, I knew you were going to ask me that so I had to answer before you asked us" she said as she stayed by my side to help us through this situation.
