I awoke to the hospital door bursting open and four ponies rushed through with a gurney in tow. I sit up and look at the clock that reads 2:30, I sigh and lean back on the chair. I look down at Apple Jack, who was still sleeping soundly on my shoulder.

I was brought out of my daze when the doors slammed shut. Somehow Apple Jack was still asleep, I figured it was a good idea to take her home so, I carefully maneuvered my way out of the awkward hug and slowly picked up the sleeping pony and picked her up off the chair, and somehow managed to exit the hospital with her still in my arms, It was definitely going to be a tiring walk but, noting I couldn't deal with.

After the long and tiring walk to Sweet Apple acres, I approached the front of the small farmhouse that was the Apple Family home. I Managed to knock on the door with my foot. Typically I hated to knock or in this case kick on doors at this hour. But given the situation, I was almost One hundred percent sure that Big Mac was still awake. Just as I suspected he opened the door and stared at me with a painfully blank stare that felt like it was piercing my soul, I nodded and turned around to go get Apple Jack, I opened the backdoor of my cruiser and Picked her up once again and brought her to Big Mac who still looked like his soul had been completely ripped out of him. We traded hands and I patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk away.

I turned around and started walking back towards Ponyville. I decided that I had enough sleep for the night. So back to work, it is. I ran into much more traffic than I anticipated. It was always a mystery to me, Why So many ponies were out at this time of night, Was it exercise? If they were exercising why at night? It seems like it would just be better to go for a walk during the say.

After another long walk, I start to approach the Station. But as I approach another burst of anger hit me and I punched the nearest tree, I recoiled. why did I keep doing that? On the same hand too! all of this In a feeble attempt to get all the anger out of my system. It didn't work and despite my best efforts I still slammed the door to the station shut behind me.

This action made the receptionist jump nearly ten feet in the air. "Sorry". I muttered as I walked past her desk an to the stairs. I trudged up the stairs and into my office. I fell into my painfully stiff chair and let out a deep sigh.

"What brings you here so early" I glanced up to see the Chief of police standing in the doorway. Surprisingly he was a human too. Somehow Ponyville was home to the only four humans in all of Equestria, and coincidentally all four of us worked in the Police force.

"I fucked up man," I said in a flat tone. He looked down at the floor and nodded.

"That didn't answer my question" He responded. He undoubtedly knew what happened. he was most likely going to tell me I needed to get more sleep. And I was going to ignore him just like I always did.

"Wille you can't keep doing this," He says in a mildly irritated tone. Well, this is new, he had my attention at this point. I wasn't sure where he was going with this. I signal for him to continue.

"You can't keep blaming yourself for stuff that was impossible to prevent" He stated simply. This statement pissed me off more than it should've.

"What do you mean?" I said anger filling my voice. Why does he always do this? Why can't I accept that I make mistakes too?

"Wille you don't understand. This was completely unpreventable there was nothing you could've done about it" He said in an infuriatingly calm tone. This was it, this was the final straw in my patience, this was my breaking point.

"Why can't you understand that I make mistakes too?" I said in an exasperated tone. Can he not just see that this is my fault if my Dumbass hadn't taken the night off like an amateur, I could've identified the threat and taken them out before anything bad happened.

"Even if you were on patrol there is no way you could've foreseen this," He said in the same calm tone. Now I was done, I can't believe that he is trying to act like I would have failed Apple Bloom either way.

"YES I COULD'VE AND I WOULD'VE, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT MY MISTAKE" I yelled. He was taken aback by my sudden outburst and frankly, I was too, I had expected to just sound like I was just very cross with him. I didn't expect to just fully yell.

"Willie even if you saw the perpetrator, he would've just seemed like a normal guy. Now go home and get some sleep" He said still as calm as ever. I just stared at him and shook my head.

"That's an order," He said giving me a stern look. I looked at him with what was probably a very confused expression "You heard me. go home" My confusion only intensified as I stared at my desk. Did he just kick me out? No, he couldn't have he would never do that to me.... would he?

"WILLIE!" His voice jolted me from my thoughts "I told you Go home. and that's an order!" It was my turn to be taken aback Chief Haney was never one to raise his voice at anyone especially me. I didn't feel like arguing further so I nodded, got up and left my office and walked down the hall and the stairs.

"Leaving so soon" The voice jolted me from my thoughts, I glared over at the receptionist, This was not the time for her shenanigans.

"Can it" I said raising my voice ever so slightly. I glanced back in her direction to see the shocked expression she wore. But At this point, I couldn't give two fucks about her feelings. I exited the station and headed for home.

Author's Note

2020 edit.
A big change in this chapter. I decided to take out the whole car thing. Because why would they have cars in equestrian so quickly after humans arrived. I feel like it would definitely take longer to manufacture a car that a pony can drive.
Anyway thanks for reading!
