To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

"After a couple blackouts later, I came to.

I woke up in a hospital, but in a horse body, specifically an Earth Pony body.

A bandage covered my bullet wound.

Twilight came into the room and introduced herself.

After that, Moon told me that Aro killed my Mom and burned down my house.

He said this was a chance to start over.

I didn’t believe it at first.

When I did, I was filled with so much anger, I swear, I was going to go back through that portal.

Anger turned into sadness. Sadness turned into depression.

My depression was so bad, I had to go to a suicide prevention program.

I met a new friend there, he lives in Vanhoover, now." I say.

Derpy says "I'm sorry Arthur, I thought you were just another criminal. I'm sorry for your mother."

Derpy hugs me, then says "Your past doesn't decide your future."

“Thanks, Derpy.” I say.

Spike hugs me, then says "Is it bedtime yet?"

The three of us laugh.

"Come, Derpy, you can sleep with me, unless you don't want to." I say.

"Okay. I usually sleep with a stuffed animal, but you'll do." Derpy says.

Derpy smiles at me while blushing.

I climb into the biggest bed in the room.

Then Derpy climbs into the bed.

"Can you pass me two pillows? One for my head, and one to hug." She asks me.

I pass her two pillows.

"Good night, Arthur." Derpy says.

"Good night, Derpy." I say.

I close my eyes.

A few moments later I wake up inside of my house.

"Arthur! Come get your breakfast!” My mom yells.

“What the fuck? I’m home?” I ask myself.

I walk out of my room, then downstairs.

I see Aro holding my mom at gunpoint.

Aro shoots my mom in the head, then Aro shoots me. everything goes black.

Then I hear a voice saying "It was your fault. They will never truly accept you. Derpy will hurt you. They will leave you."

"Shut up. I know that's not true." I say.

"It was all your fault. They will never truly accept you. Derpy will hurt you. They will leave you." The voice says again

"Shut up!" I yell.

The Voice says "IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT! THEY WILL NEVER TRULY ACCEPT YOU! DERPY WILL HURT YOU! THEY WILL LEAVE YOU!"

The Voice repeats it over and over again, it gets faster and louder each time.

"SHUT UP!" I yell.

I wake up, this time, in the bed I went to sleep in.

My heart is pounding, and I'm in a cold sweat.

I see a message carved on the side of the nightstand saying, "Did you enjoy that Arthur?
-N.".

Derpy and Spike are looking at me.

Scarlet runs into the room.

"What happened?" Scarlet asks.
