"Breed us, Anon..." They chorus like a school of sirens. "Make us your mares..."

Your length swung stiffly between your legs as you approached them; the four mares stared dreamily at it, their eyes sliding back and forth as its motion left their minds hazy and their eager, reddened pussies dripping and winking eagerly at you.

Stepping up behind your lead mare, you hefted your throbbing tool with one hand and released it with a dull, meaty smack onto her back and dock. Her legs nearly buckled from the sensation, sending a shudder through her as she nickered in surprise and adjusted her hind legs. Your milky pre drooled into the soft, wispy strands of her twitching tail, and the two of you shared a gaze full of love, passion, and longing.

That sobering, heart-melting moment, where both of you lost sense of time and surroundings and indulged in each other's presence, was what you'd missed the most from her in the recent sex-drenched days. Everything for you had been such a whirlwind of debaucherous couplings that it was easy to forget your forebrain's reasons for attraction and slip away into your hindbrain's control...even with tonight's exceedingly lewd circumstances, you relished in this deep, passionate moment with your gorgeous and lovely marefriend.

"Duuude, c'mon, fuck your foals in'na her already! My lower half's dyin' of thirst over here!" Cloudchaser interrupted brashly from the right, earning a smack upside the head from her sister as you and Vapor blushed and broke your shared gaze, glaring at the other pegasus for her rudeness.

"You're the one who chose to go after me rather than before! Shush!" Flitter hissed quietly at her.

The two of you tuned out the comments from the peanut gallery and refocused on the task at hand. Slowly, agonizingly, you stepped back to align yourself with Vapor's entrance, causing her to tremble in a mix of anticipation, arousal, and slight ticklishness as your throbbing dorsal vein dragged against the underside of her dock.

"Are you ready, baby girl?" You asked endearingly, running your fingers through her tail as your broad cockhead came to rest, ever-so-slightly parting her entrance.

"I've never been more ready in my life, Anon~!" Vapor growled, bucking back against you with significantly more vigor than you expected. Caught off guard, you could do nothing but groan dumbly and brace yourself from falling over backward as your head slipped into her slickened depths with a loud pop. "O-o-ohhh...oh sweet Sun...I thought you were big before! Hnnn..." She groaned, wiggling side-to-side to adjust to your immense girth in a way that drove you absolutely up the wall.

With a guttural, primal sound somewhere between a moan and a grunt, you grabbed a fistful of her tail in one hand and a helping of her modest, squeezable flank in the other, and surged forwards in one fluid motion.

Vapor's eyes rolled back in her head as her wings shot to full extension at her sides, hind-hooves lifting off the ground as her tummy bulged obscenely from the insertion. An incredibly intense orgasm slammed into her brain without warning as you bottomed out aggressively against her cervix, causing her tunnel to clench and writhe around you and made your knees tremble. "Oooh my goood...fuck yeah, Vapor! I'm gonna love you so, mmf, fuckin' hard...!" You exclaimed.

Under normal circumstances, Vapor likely would've given an equally passionate response, but for now, she was only capable of drooling and moaning with a fucked-stupid, cross-eyed expression as the force behind your titanic thrusts pushed her front half into the bedsheets.

"Nnnuh...so! Fucking! Tight!" You hissed through clenched teeth, giving her a rapid, deep series of thrusts that sent her into a fresh bout of inarticulate squeals as you began to really take your mare to pound-town.

Vapor's hindlegs wiggled in the air as your thrusts lifted her rear to near-vertical, putting her in the piledriver position as you towered over her. It gave the other three mares quite the show, as her bulging stomach and your balls slapping against her stretched-out clit and marehood were in full view. They watched in wide-eyed amazement, resting their chests on the bed as they reached back and vigorously hoofed themselves to the sight.

"Mmh, you're gonna breed her, aren't you?" Flitter said breathily, between fevered moans and ragged gasps. "And after you claim her...mmh, you'll claim me, too..." She shuddered and squirted onto the floor next to your bed, letting out a wanton sigh as she went limp and plopped down into the puddle of her own juices.

"Doesn't one look at that cute flank of hers just, nnnaaah, make you wanna empty those big, plump balls into her, Anon~?" Cloudchaser growled, briefly interrupting herself as she grazed a sensitive spot with her hoof.

"Show her who's boss, big guy~" Glimmerlance said teasingly, groaning with lust as she witnessed the intense fucking next to her.

The mares' brazen dirty talk sent you into an uncontrollable spiral of rut-lust. With a groan of pleasure and desire, you grip your marefriend by the hips and increase the depth and speed of your thrusts, a meaty smack of flesh-on-fur sounding out with each insertion as her ass jiggles against your crotch. Every pleased moan and vaginal clenching from her sent you deeper and deeper into a haze of procreation-driven ecstasy, your mind subsumed fully into instinctual "maleness" as your entire world narrowed into the beautiful mare whose eager womb was begging for your seed. You became only dimly aware of the lustful adulations of the other mares, no longer concerned with them or their whims. Once they witnessed your mare thoroughly-bred and sporting a full-term cum-belly, what they thought wouldn't matter; their heat would take hold of them and they'd never leave your side until they ended up in the same well-fucked stupor as your marefriend.

Feeling your balls start to tremble and throb, you decided it was time to change position once again to afford yourself a better view of the impending finale. You gave Vapor a particularly deep thrust that brutally impaled her womb with your glans and left her belly bulging obscenely, then gripped her hips and rotated her like a turkey on a spit until she was lying belly-up. The unbelievable stimulation of her tight cervix grinding against the ridge of your cockhead nearly took you over the edge right then and there, but you clenched your teeth and buttocks and barely managed to hold yourself back.

Cloudchaser flew up from the bed and wrapped her forehooves around you from behind, placing her muzzle on your shoulder to get a first-person view of the pegasus getting utterly destroyed beneath you. "That's it, Anon...use her like your own little sex toy..." She breathed in your ear, grinding her crotch against your back as her hooves ran across your pecs.

"Nnnguhhh...g-get...geh...getting close...fffffuuuuuhhhck..." You groaned, trading speed for power as you hammered the back of your marefriend's womb with brutal efficiency, pressing her face into the bedsheets.

"Cum...cum...cum!...cum in her, Anon!" Cloudchaser, Flitter, and Glimmer all chanted, crowding around you as they witnessed the erotic spectacle of your union.

With a deep, bellowing groan, you slammed all the way to the hilt in Vapor's tight cunt, holding yourself there as your balls throbbed and Vapor's legs and wings twitched fitfully. Loud, wet splurts sounded out from inside your marefriend as you doused her insides with your thick, virile seed, oozing from your union in little trails that were eagerly lapped up by the three voyeur mares and giving both of your overstimulated, throbbing organs a little extra stimulation.

Vapor went completely limp by the time the first pint emptied into her, fucked into a blissful unconsciousness as her drug-enhanced heat was sated by your equally drug-enhanced mare-breaking dick. Even when KO'd, her incredible pelvic muscles continued to instinctually milk your breeding tool, undulating rhythmically as her cervix clenched sporadically around your crown in a way that made fireworks race across your vision. "Unhhh...fuckfuckfuck-fuck!" You finished your inarticulate exclamation with one final slam into her depths, letting out your biggest throb yet as the deep-dicking forced out a significant amount of your essence from her nethers, covering the three closely-crowded mares in strings of yours and Vapor's mixed fluids. All three of them shuddered at the warm, sticky sensation.

Basking in the afterglow of yet another thorough pony-breeding session, you exulted in the feeling of Vapor's soft interior massaging the last dregs of your load into her depths. Had other human males been around in Equestria to talk to, you were sure you'd all come to an accord on one thing: Once you go mare, you never go back. Their incredible pelvic control was like nothing else on any planet, unambiguously proving the inadequacy of any sex toy compared to the intimate embrace of a living, breathing, loving mare.

You came back down to Equus as your mare's cunt finally slackened, slipping off of your cock with a loud shplorp as her hind end flopped back down onto the bed. Winded, you also fell onto your back next to her, catching your breath as you tried to commit every moment of the experience to memory. The three mares tackled your marefriend's ruined rear-end with a gusto that reminded you of feeding-time at a kennel.

"Buck, dude...not even that zeeb I used to bang came as much as you do...and it's so bucking thick, too..." Glimmer proclaimed, hearts in her eyes as she bathed Vapor's cum-splattered flanks with her tongue. Cloudchaser and Flitter casually touched tongues as they double-teamed the overworked pussy before them, though that was quickly forgotten about in favor of a heated, cum-swapping, sisterly make-out session on the floor next to your bed. You weren't particularly worried about their meal reducing the chances of conception for Vapor, considering her thoroughly-dominated womb contained enough seed to impregnate a small country. You wouldn't be surprised if every mare present would be carrying a litter of your hybrid offspring by the time you were through with them.

You let out a contented sigh as you felt yourself beginning to drift off, the lateness of the hour overcoming the waning effects of the "energy potion" you'd taken earlier.

...Right up until the moment the lieutenant, having finished her "meal," plopped her fat ass onto your crotch and started grinding against you, hotdogging your half-mast monstrosity with her enormous flanks and wet, eager pussy lips. "Uh-uh, you've got a long way to go before you're done tonight, lover-boy~" She growled, floating another potion bottle up to your lips and all-but-forcing its contents down your throat.

Your face scrunched uncomfortably as a sharp tingling sensation raced through you, and felt your balls begin to tingle and ache as they swelled even further. Pre began streaming uncontrollably from your cockslit, smearing Glimmer's dock, flanks, and vulva with your sticky precum. "Ohoho, buck yeah, I bet this thing's gonna destroy my tight little pussy~" Glimmer teased wantonly, wiggling her ass as her clit winked against the side of your rod. "I can't wait to drive myself insane on it..." She moaned breathlessly, lifting her hips upward as the head of your huge, angrily-throbbing human cock was brought to bear against her woefully inadequate-looking pony cooch.

The two still-conscious pegasi finally noticed that the unicorn had bamboozled them, and whinnied indignantly at the realization. "Hey, what's the big idea! It's my tur--!" Cloudchaser began, but was cut off by Glimmer's loud, mildly pained moan as she took herself halfway onto your impossible organ with a single forceful slam of her immense hips.

"Hhh-gnuuuuhhh...ooouuuuhhh..." The mage groaned in exertion, eyes rolling back in her head as a frighteningly large bulge protruded from her muscular tummy. Her efforts at self-destruction lost strength as her jaw slackened, her drooling tongue limply flopping out of her muzzle. "Anoooooonnnnnuuuuh...bu-hu-huuuck...hsfjn..." Her earlier anal rodeo in Zecora's hut had evidently not prepared her for the complete and utter cunt-stuffing you were capable of giving to a mare.

"Mmph...such a headstrong little slut, but you can't take my huge fuckin' dick any better than some random mare could..." You groaned out, gripping her flanks firmly as you ground your cockhead against her pelvic floor muscles, sending her into a twitching fit. "A pretty little filly like you better be careful before she...hurts herself..." You finished darkly, your grip becoming iron as you started forcing her down onto your pillar of pony-domination.

That seemed to snap her out of her fuck-drunk stupor, at least. "I ain't no filly, and I certainly ain't scared of a cock...n-no matter how b-big it is..." She countered defiantly, but you could hear the strain in her voice and the barely-restrained whimpers of pleasure. The way her pussy was clenching and rippling ceaselessly around you was also something of a dead giveaway; to be fair, it was hard for her to lie when the largest cock in Equestria was busy plowing itself into her. "Gimme all you got, nerd~...maybe if you're lucky I'll let you put some f-foals inna' me..." She teased slyly, giving you an infuriatingly smug grin.

God, this mare was such a deviant! She'd already learned one of your favorite fetishes within the space of a day, and clearly knew full well how to use her newfound power over you. Unfortunately, having such power and knowing when not to use it were two different things entirely, especially given that you were hardly in the clearest state of mind at the moment.

Wild, lustful magic was coursing through your veins in equal measure to the flood of testosterone and instincts, washing away any capability of thought beyond "FUCK." and "BREED." The quadfecta of potent, fertile feminine scents overwhelming your sense of smell only added to the frenzy, and Glimmerlance's thoughtless breeding-request was the final nail in the coffin for any chance you had of restraining yourself.

You gripped her flanks with enough intensity to turn your knuckles white, causing her to let out a squeal with a hedonistic mix of pain and pleasure. She moaned, low and long, as you began giving her the deep-dicking of her life, furiously humping up into her writhing pony cooch and battering against her swollen, hungry cervix. "That's right, Anon! Break me! Ruin me! Nnngaaaahhh!" She screamed in desperation, wiggling her fat ass against you as it smacked and jiggled wildly from your combined motions.

You released one of her flanks from your grip and struck it hard with the same hand, sending a loud smack resounding through the room that caused Glimmer to squeak in surprise and the other mares to flinch. Her ass wobbled vigorously as a red handprint started to show on it, and you pushed firmly on the small of her back to hold her hips against you as you began jackhammering furiously into her cunt, going balls-deep with a loud PLAP with each thrust.

Her moans rose to a deafening crescendo as you started humping her fast and deep, feeling your glutes tense up as your balls started to throb and pull up against you. "Unhh...fuckin' close...fuck..." You grunted, focusing on Glimmer's drooling, lolling expression as her eyes stared at the back of her skull. "You're so fucking good! Mmmph..." You continued pressing her hips against your crotch as your other hand rose up and gripped her mane, then slammed your tongue into her muzzle as she instinctually reciprocated the heated kiss. Her movements paused and shuddered each time a mini-orgasm overtook her body, allowing you carte blanche as you claimed your second mare from both ends.

You reveled in the sight, sound, and feeling of her writhing body and groaned deeply into her moaning, eager mouth as you felt yourself begin to release inside her; as fantastic as her ass had felt around you hours prior, nothing could come close to the feeling of claiming a mare's most intimate, sacred depths as your own. The two of you made out with furious passion as your clenching balls nestled against her thick ass, cock throbbing fitfully as you dumped your massive load directly into her womb.

Her trim, fit guardsmare physique was decimated by the intensity of your orgasm. The layers of corded muscle on her abdomen were overwhelmed by an immense, jiggling cum-gut, which rubbed pleasurably against your own stomach as she continued to slowly hump you for every last drop of your seed that she could get. She broke away from the kiss to throw her head back and let out a long, shuddering groan, and then stared deeply into your eyes with a gaze full of love and devotion. "Buuuck meee...Anooon, I love your huge cock~!" Glimmerlance groaned.

The two of you sighed and relaxed into a limp heap together as you laid back on the bed. You mumbled a barely-audible reply, smiling contentedly at her, and felt yourself drifting into dreamland so quickly that no energy potion in the world could have countered it. You had reached your potion-enhanced limit.

You awoke the following afternoon to the sound of raucous feminine squealing and giggling emanating from your bathroom, along with the muffled spattering of your showerhead. Grumbling and fumbling with the stained, disheveled covers, you flailed your arm out toward your nightstand and clumsily grabbed for the clock. Groaning at the lateness of the hour, you groggily sat up from your prone position and thumped your head against the headboard. Tilting your head back to gaze up at the ceiling, you took stock of what had transpired the previous night...what little of it you could remember through the hormonal haze, that is.

"How you holdin' up, stud?" Glimmerlance nearly caused you to wet yourself as she suddenly greeted you from the doorway, holding a large glass of water in her magical aura.

"Jesus, Glimm! Warn a guy!" You responded, clutching your pec with one hand as panicked palpitations ran through your chest.

"Oh come off it, ya big baby. Where's all that bravado from last night, when you were turning four mares into your personal cocksleeves at the same time?" She chided in an almost motherly fashion, which was entirely at odds with her salacious expression and lewd vocabulary. You weren't entirely sure if it was sexy or just off-putting, but your dick twitched all the same. Giggling at the slight blush on your cheeks, she floated the much-needed refreshment she was carrying into your hand, which you grabbed and chugged down eagerly.

"Crazy sex potions or no, you still gotta hydrate! Here's a tall drink of water, for my tall drink a'water..." She teased, giving you a flirty wink as she trotted into the bathroom, seeking the source of the profuse moaning coming from your shower. Glancing back at you as she exited the room, she wordlessly wiggled her plump pony posterior for your hungry gaze with a self-satisfied saunter. Pony body language may still be something you'd never fully get used to...but you knew a "come hither and give heed" gesture when you saw it.

With a resigned sigh, you dragged yourself out of bed and followed after her, erection slapping your thighs as you walked. "Confound these horny ponies..." You grumbled under your breath, the unicorn's flagged tail and captivating sights leading you towards your moan-filled bathroom.

The moment you entered, you and Glimmerlance were treated to the erotic sight of your marefriend eating out both pega-twins at the same time. If your boner was confused before, it definitely wasn't now.

"Ooh, buck! Yeah, that's it, Vape! Lick me! Unnnh~!" Flitter squealed loudly, grinding her clit and teats against her sister, who was laying on her back beneath her and lavishing her vulnerable neck with lustful licks, kisses, and nibbles in-between her own lustful groans and moans.

"Buck! Oh Celestia, I'm gonna...gonna...Fliiiitts!" Cloudchaser screamed in bliss as her back arched uncontrollably in the throes of pleasure underneath her sister, lifting her up slightly as your marefriend continued to relentlessly attack their hungry loins.

"Unh...Cici...oh buck yesssss!" Flitter hissed out as he reached her peak, slamming her lips against her sister's as the flood of endorphins caused them to deepen their increasingly twincestual embrace. You felt your dick harden so suddenly that it rose up and slapped against your belly before flagging out in front of you. The sudden redirection of blood flow to your aggressive erection left you just as dizzy as the sight of the two wet-maned pegasi twins making out did.

Loud slurps and smacks, combined with the schlicking sounds of Vapor's hoof against her own marehood, echoed through the room over the din of the shower, giving you and Glimmer a hell of a show as the three pegasi writhed in an impassioned simultaneous climax on the tile floor of your shower. As they basked in their mindless, blissful, hazy afterglow, the heady cocktail of multiple feminine aromas wafting throughout the room left you struck dumb with the all-consuming need to relieve your building urges.

The sensation of a large, tingly-feeling hand wrapping around your member caused you to let out a loud groan as pre oozed out of your tip, and you looked down at your crotch for the source of the unfamiliar sensation. You went wide-eyed as you saw that the "hand" you felt was actually a shimmering, translucent, turquoise construct slowly working its way up and down your thick, throbbing length, and glanced over at Glimmerlance...who just gave you a smug, lascivious grin as her spell started vibrating.

...And then a second, unnoticed construct shoved one of its thick, vibrating, amorphous fingers right up against your prostate and held it there.

"What the-huuurk! Guh...hnngaaah~...FUCK!" You gave a startled, fitful series of grunts as the sudden intensity of the sensation overwhelmed your ability to hold yourself back, and you fitfully bucked her hips into your grip as you came harder than you ever had...which was saying something, given the past few days. Through the haze of your orgasm, you noticed the three pegasi writhing under the hot, heavy bulk of your load as Glimmerlance aimed your twitching, bulging tool directly into the shower.

Glimmer turned the shower knob to a slow trickle with her magic, as you more than made up for the reduction with a shower of your own, and licked her lips as she witnessed--and smelled--the heady spectacle of three unsuspecting pegasi getting absolutely covered in your impossibly-huge emission.

By the time your load petered out, you felt like you'd shriveled into a human raisin. Glimmer gazed up at you with eyes full of love and devotion as she cleaned off your majestic tool with her lips and tongue, slathering you in warm saliva. You dimly noticed the others writhing in a sticky tangle of limbs as they bathed in the sight, smell, and feel of your continued "outpourings" of love for them.

With a suddenness that caused Glimmer to yelp in alarm, you felt yourself collapse to the floor with a thud as your dangerously dehydrated state sent you into unconsciousness.

After a moment in which all of you shared uncertain, panicked glances with one another, you leapt out of the pony-pile in the shower and rushed to your stalli-humanfriend's side, frantically prodding him in an attempt to rouse him. "Anon? Anon?! Speak to me! Oh, Celestia, please don't be dead!" You wailed in desperation as you hugged your upper body into his chest, pressing your face into his pectorals as you felt the beginnings of tears starting to form. After a moment, though, you realized that the thundering beat you felt in your chest wasn't just your own heart echoing in your ears. Your ears perked to attention as you felt the panic leave your body.

"He's alive! I can feel his heartbeat!" You exclaimed in excitation and relief. The other mares let out breaths they hadn't realized they'd been holding, but Glimmer still carried a concerned frown.

"I know this may be hard, but I need you to let go of him and step back for a moment, Vape," She ordered, adopting a no-nonsense tone as her military medical training kicked in, "I need to check his vitals...just because he's got a pulse doesn't mean he's okay. Ponies, er, people, don't just pass out for no reason."

You reluctantly released your human from your embrace as Glimmer's magical aura enveloped his resting form, and her eyes slid closed as she deep-dove into whatever advanced triage spell she was casting. After less than a minute, the glow faded, and she snapped her eyes open and actually snarled in frustration. "His breath rate is through the bucking roof and his BP is dangerously low. I knew we shouldn't have trusted those potions to do the job on their own with his unfamiliar biology; he's almost lethally dehydrated! Celestia damn me for being so boneheaded!"

"Oh gods, please no!" You exclaimed, giving Glimmerlance a horrified, stunned stare. She gave you a sympathetic look, before her expression hardened again as she looked at the two pegasi still in the shower.

"The three of you...make yourselves presentable. I'm going to get some basic clothing on Anon to preserve his culture's public decency, and then I'm teleporting all of us to Ponyville General. We can't put fluids in him while he's unconscious without medical equipment, and if he doesn't get a significant amount of fluids in him within the next hour, it won't be pretty." Glimmer punctuated the end of her orders with a loud clop that echoed through the room, causing you and the sisters to flinch. She then stormed out of the room, Anon floating delicately behind her in a telekinetic aura as she trekked over to his wardrobe and began searching for the simplest looking clothes.

The three of you began rubbing the thick human cum out of your coat, occasionally stealing tastes of his rich seed from each other's coats and manes that left your taste-buds tingling and your marehoods clenching. A pit settled in your guts as you each remembered the very real costs of such a delectable treat, and the three of you took to cleaning yourselves with renewed focus and vigor. Sexy-times could wait, for once.

The entry doors to Ponyville General slammed open with an almighty clatter, startling other waiting patients as Nurse Redheart stood up from her seat at the reception desk, keeping her cool much more effectively than the panic-prone Ponyville citizens in the lobby had.

You and the three other mares, with Anon still floating unconscious behind you, sprinted up to the desk. "What's the situation?" The nurse asked tersely, even as her uncertain glance at the unconscious human behind you seemed to, at least partially, answer her question for her.

"Lt. Glimmerlance, Ponyville Guard. Get me a bed with the largest drip bag you've got! We've got a severe case of dehydration due to an untested stamina potion!" The guardsmare responded commandingly. She may have only been a lieutenant, but she certainly outranked the civilians in the room, the nurse included.

The nurse frowned in concern, and craned her head down to the desk to speak into the PA microphone. "Large IV for room 115. Doctor Horse, please report to room 115 immediately." Removing her hoof from the push-to-talk button, she addressed you and your group directly. "Come with me."

At a brisk walk, Redheart ushered you and the rest of your group down the leftward hall, where you quickly arrived at the room. As you and your three herd-mates made to follow Redheart into the room, she turned and held up a hoof placatingly. "Please, ladies, I know you're concerned for your...umm...stallion, but these rooms are only so large. For the safety of everyone involved, I'm going to have to ask you and the two mares next to you to wait outside the room while we get him setup. Even the lieutenant here is only staying because she's got formal medical training, is currently acting as his gurney, and knows what happened to put him in this state. Once she provides that information, she'll be waiting outside with you three while Doctor Horse and I administer the proper treatment." Her gaze flicked from you to the lieutenant. "Speaking of which, please set him down on that bed over there, Lieutenant."

You and the sisters begrudgingly exited the room and stood a short distance away from the doorway. "Do...do you think the big guy's gonna be okay? He really did cum a whole hell of a lot..." Cloudchaser muttered anxiously. "I wasn't really thinking about it in the moment, I guess...gods, I feel so stupid!" She grumbled, snorting in discontentment and angrily stomping her hoof.

"You can't blame yourself too much, Cici...I've been his marefriend for months and I didn't even notice that it was hurting him so much to keep going...ugh...sniff...I-I'm a terrible special somepony..." You felt yourself begin to shudder, knees going wobbly as tears clouded your vision. The true severity of the situation was beginning to hit you now that you'd arrived at the hospital, with a very real fear that you might lose your favorite creature in all of Equestria to your own lust-blinded, desperate behavior.

Your rear legs collapsed out from under you as sobs began to wrack your body, and you felt Flitter and Cloudchaser wrap you in a downy, comforting hug as the three of you shared in your anguish and contemplated the weight of your actions.

The sound of hurried clopping echoed down the hallway, along with the faint squeaking of wheels, prompting you to wipe the tears from your eyes and look up at the source of the sound. Doctor Horse quickly approached your huddled group-cry with a sympathetic frown and cleared his throat, prompting the pega-twins to pull themselves out of their despair and focus their attention on him.

"P-please...please tell me he's going to be okay..." You whimpered, pawing at the doctor's coated leg.

Horse rubbed the back of your mane with a hoof placatingly, and responded, "Redheart and I will do everything in our power to get him healthy again, I swear by my honor and duty as a physician." He gave each of you a long look, before resuming his duties. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a human stallion to assist!" He said cheerily, saluting you with a hoof as he wheeled the IV stand loaded with drip-bags into the room with his magic and closed the door behind him.

The long, uncertain, desperate wait that followed felt like eons to the three of you. Glimmerlance still hadn't returned by the time you'd cried yourself to sleep.

Author's Note

Turns out it's not a fantastic idea to ingest magical substances that are completely untested and may have radically unexpected side-effects! Who could've guessed?

This sort of grim reality really wasn't the direction I was planning to take this story, but I'm gonna take any burst of inspiration I can get to finish the rest of the "week" off...plus what's a story without some good drama to motivate things along?

No Rona over here... Just caught up in the chaos of this whole global debacle and having to transition to online learning at my uni. So much for that "few months" timeline I originally thought of. "The best-laid plans of mice and men," and all that...pretty sure everyone is in the same boat though.

I'm burgeoning with a bunch of other sexy, unwritten ideas aside from this story, so we'll see what happens, both with this story and with those other ideas.
...Buuut I've got a 2,500 word research paper with a first draft due on, as far as I can tell, the 11th...so that's fun! And also, unfortunate as it may be, has to come first before I can start ch6.

If you give it a like, it'd be nice to know what I'm doing right! Dislikes are equally appreciated as an indicator of where I'm going wrong, but please comment if there's something specific you're taking offense to, as long as it's about my writing itself and not just a preference against the subject matter!
