00 - Rise And Shine

You wake up lying on a cold floor with the most terrible headache you've ever experienced. Everything is blurry and dark. You are incredibly tired and it's hard to think. You attempt to rub your eyes but your hands are stopped by a mask, feeling around for a few minutes you recognize it as some kind of a gas mask. Also you are wearing dark rubbery gloves and boots which almost reach up to your knees, a broad utility belt around your waist keeps the dark green, heavy woven pants up. The chest piece is combination of a dark gray and black turtleneck pullover and a dark bullet proof vest which only covers the ribcage. You stand up and bump into some metallic arms above you, they extend out of the wall. It looks like the average man could sit comfy on the lowest while being held in place by the middle arm, the top arm seems to sport some kind of helmet, looks like you fell out of that thing at some point.
“What.”
Your jimmies are rustled at the sound of your own voice. Touching your throat you speak again, “What is...”. Your voice is unnatural low and sounds artificial, the knot in your stomach dissipates as you realize that your voice is like that because of a built in vocoder in that mask. No question, you're going to get that thing off ASAP! While you fruitlessly fiddle around to get that thing off your face you hear something talk, the voice sounds distant and echoed many times.
“Ah can't wait t'find that bastard, when ah get t'him ahm goin' to buck him outta Equestria!”.
That sounded angry, looks like someone is in deep trouble. More voices echo through the place, at least 3 more but you can't understand what they say. You look around for the first time, trying to find the source. This is not a normal building, definitely not. You are in a long corridor, on one side is a wall on the other side is just a skimpy balustrade. Walking towards the balustrade you look up, you can't see the ceiling and your jimmies get slightly rustled as you look down over the edge. Can't see the bottom of this place...
Weird rails, pods and tubes everywhere, this place is insanely huge and weird! You decide that you won't gain anything by just standing around. After walking around for about 15 minutes you are already sick of this place, everything looks the same and it feels like you wander aimlessly through a maze. On top of that you are not even sure that you are going to recognize the exit even if you find it, this place looks so alien to you. The color scheme isn't making it any easier, everything has that metallic blueish black to it... this place feels dead, long since abandoned. Then you hear some voices again, a somewhat boyish voice screams ”WHAT?! After all those horrible things he's done we are to let him live?!”
Are these people talking about that guy from before? If they find him he really will get is ass kicked... what did that first voice say? Bucked? Heh! He will get is ass bucked! You chuckle at your own bad joke and listen further, sounds like they are closing in on your vicinity. You lean over the balustrade to listen if you can make out if they are beneath or above you, it doesn't sound like they're on your level. Damn, now the voices are too faint to listen to what they say, maybe you should call out to them?
While thinking it strikes you like lightning. You are apparently male, all of the voices sound female. They want to buck some GUY's ass. Apart from these predatory girls you are the only person in this place as far as you know.
Good work Sherlock, but maybe they look for someone else, this place is huge and there could be countless people scattered around. Still, better not reveal yourself until you are sure, better safe than sorry. Damn, head still hurts. You try to think back to identify the reason why they would want to thrash you. You concentrate and try to remember past moments, but there is nothing, no recollection of anything that predates waking up in this place. Until now you were too distracted with this... this structure to notice that you had some kind of amnesia.
Okay, calm down.
“FUCK”, your voice only a whisper. They are after you and you don't even know why! Your jimmies can hardly get any more rustled. Panic sets in. What if the amnesia won't go away? What if you are a criminal? What if they are the bad guys? What could you do to stop all this? You walk in circles as you try to find a way out of this misery
“SHIT”, your voice now louder. Can't think of anything!
”Did you hear that?”, a calm voice says. Damn, did they hear you freaking out? Be more quiet you idiot!
”Hey, don't distract! Why should we not finish him off, seriously!” the boyish voice says in a serious tone.
”I told you Rainbow, if my plan worked he isn't a threat anymore, he won't even-” the calm voice gets interrupted
”NO TWILIGHT! After what he did to me, I am not letting him off that easy! And why do you so suddenly?! What he did to you was even worse than anything he did to the rest of us!” Oh god, do they really talk about you? This is bad, if they get you, you really are bucked!
”I'm just saying, he is not a threat anymore, it's this place that made him do those cruel things, I've seen it and I will tell you girls everything when we get out of here, but now we have to find him!” At least one of them is on your side, but she can't seem to calm the other one.
”I will end him for what he has done to my little friends!!!” that one sounded like she doesn't often talk loud, but there was positively madness in that voice, whatever you've done, it must have been really bad. Sounds like they stopped one floor beneath you to discuss, just don't make any noises.
”Anyway, how in tarnation are we supposed to find him Twilight, this place ain't exactly neatly arranged” Just don't, please? But if you surrender, maybe they let you off easy, yes that’s it, think positive, but on the other hand that could be outright stupid.
”Rainbow, Fluttershy, you two search the place as fast as you can, the rest of us is going to wait near the main staircase. So we can get to the right floor as fast as possible when you find him. If my plan worked he won't put up a resistance, he may still run away though.” Hell yes you will! ”If that happens we will try to chase him to the roof, the royal guard on the lower levels will kill him on sight and I don't want him dead, at least not yet”.
This seems to be more serious than you thought. Your life is on the line here, if some kind if royal guard is after you, you have at least royal trouble. Your jimmies are royally rustled.
Not even gonna listen to them anymore, need to get out of here and fast. Sneaking away and trying to think of something seems to be the best thing to do right now. Don't even know WHAT to think, this is insane, this is madness! After making sure they can't hear it, you run off, as fast as you can, as far as you can. You tire out sooner than you'd like and take a breather, while doing that you notice your reflection in a window, at first you pay no attention to the outside and look at yourself.
That mask is actually a white gas-mask with two vertically aligned air filter. It slightly resembles a skull. Two lenses sit in place of eyes, on closer inspection you see that they are mirrored. On your right arm is an armband with “c01:i4” emblazoned on it. You look...intimidating...at best. Not someone you want to meet in a dark alley.
The sight of a winged horse puts you out of your trance. It's outside, on the other side of the window. Definitely male, and a winged horse is called Pegasus, dumbass. He's wearing a aquamarine blue flight suit with a bolt theme in a light shade of gold. His mane is shaggy and has a dark grayish blue and his wings, snout and ears have a pale light blue color. He is looking at you through his goggles. Maybe he is on your side, you also have some kind of goggles. He frowns and BAM! BAM! BAM! tries to break the glass. You run immediately, shit, the others will hear this!
You can hear voices closing in on you, this place is huge, they can't possibly get here this fast! You cut a few corners as you hear from behind that tomboy shouting ”WHERE?!”, she must be communicating with the suited pegasus outside. Don't know how fast she got there, but if she's that fast she will catch up to you even faster! Run faster legs, RUN FASTER! ”Now I've gotcha! This time you're going down!”, she got you! You turn around, expecting the most horrible sight one can think of, instead you are confronted with a...oh man, no matter how manly you are, that thing is cute. Rainbow patterned mane and tail, very light cerulean coat and she's closing in on you very fa-
SMACK! She struck your head while flying past you. The momentum sent you to the ground. Apparently and luckily you have a helmet under that mask, otherwise you'd have at least a light concussion. Not wanting to fight her and seeing the contempt in her eyes, you don't even try to reason with her, instead you turn tail and run back the way you came. Every time you slow down too much, you get hit, you take a wrong turn, you get hit. If she weren't that fast, maybe you could grab her and...persuade her that she got the wrong person, yeah, that has to work! With that thought you come to a sudden stop, spin around at the same time and try to scoop that petty tyrant out of the sky. Not expecting such a bold move your pursuer crashes into your chest and you grab her in a bear hug, now that was easy, but what now? She is petrified in fear, but only for a moment, she makes an expression of pure horror, like you're about to bite off her head!
You stare into her eyes, while holding her right under her wings. What should you ask her first?!
Shit, should have thought this through beforehand, what's her name? Obviously she's that Rainbow. Why is she pursuing you? Damn. While you are pondering about what to ask her she takes on a devilish grin, but not a cute devilish one, this one is filled with rage and contempt. You just look at her, she is kind of frightening you with that expression, why has she been afraid of you when you grabbed her in the first place?
As she says the next sentence her grin slowly forms itself into a frown ”So, Twilight's plan did work out after all.” She looks you dead in the eyes “You're dead meat you BASTARD!” Her right hoof hits the side of your head. Luckily the helmet protects you from her beating, she notices that too after a dozen blows and gives one at to the side of your neck. You almost black out, if not for for the small collar of your vest, you would have. Your head hangs limb down after that, much to her satisfaction. But you don't release her. She puts both her front hooves on your chest and pushes you an armlenght away. Still you don't let go, rather because you don't know what else to do. Then she jumps up, places her legs where her front hooves just were and bucks. With that, she sends you flying, literally. Luckily for you it was more of a push than an impact, that could have easily shattered a few ribs here and there. You land hard on the floor and slide a short distance. Still, that knocked the wind out of you. While sitting up and trying to fill your lungs with some air you get grabbed by the collar and yanked up a little, you grab the arm that holds you for stability, as you get your first deep breath you open your eyes just to see a cyan colored hoof that is about to SMACK- SMACK- CRACK- that was your nose, while you get dropped you wonder what you could have done to that colorful pegasus that made her that angry at you. You now kneel/sit, disoriented and in pain as you hold your face, stupid mask is in the way genius. She pushes you harshly over with one of her legs and says ”Better start running or your jaw is next!” she is now grinning again, crazed bitch! Fuck this hurts! Using the momentum of her kick you turn around, get up and run off.
”You are going to regret EVERYTHING you've EVER done when I'm through with you! YOU HEAR ME?!” this girl is filled with resentment towards you! After a few moments you realize that she ceased to chase you, probably because there are no wrong turns you could take ahead of you, well, there are no turns at all! You come to a halt, your nose hurts like it never did before. A last attempt to pull off that damn mask makes you realize that you don't even know anything about the stuff you are wearing. As you look around, you see those mechanical arms again where you woke up. But this time you see something in the shadow beneath it.
It, It's a Pistol! You quickly put the pistol in your holster, must have dropped it while those arms dropped you. Now you can fight back! Even though shooting them seems a little extreme, even if they want to kill you, you can't possibly kill them, or anything like that, pah absurd, you're no murderer! While pondering about deep philosophical matters you stride on, spirits lifted with your new found weapon...then you come to a staircase, immediately you can make out several voices rushing towards you from below. You can hear that Rainbow pegasus ”Come on you guys! He's just 5 floors above us.” If they know where you are, you need to get away from here.
Upstairs is your only choice, you keep close to the walls so they don't see you, they will realize that you are upstairs though if they can't find you down there, better hurry up. After an eternity made out of stairs you tire out once more, your legs are burning and you can feel your nose bleeding under your mask. At least they won't find you that easily anymore, but if the lower floors are covered with those royal assholes, you won't get away unless you can fly. You are trapped. Shit.
It takes twenty minutes to get to the top floor.
Damn, so many steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps steps, ugh!
But didn't they want you up there or something? Well, since you can't get away anyway, it seems only plausible to confront them sooner or later. Maybe that Twilight is there, she seems to be the most reasonable of them all. She will listen, she has to! As you think of something convincing to say, you take the last few steps to the top. On the roof you are confronted with a breathtaking scenery, you are so far up that you can almost touch the clouds. The roof consists of catwalks and platforms arranged around some kind of huge thick antennae that pokes into the clouds. There is a big hole in the bottom of the antennae where something huge spherical shaped could fit, but it's empty. You walk around the place but there is nobody aro- POMF!
The ground shakes as you hear something impact directly behind you. Not wanting to provoke, you turn around slowly.
A mane and tail which look as if they're ablaze, a familiar blue and gold flight suit, her wings, ears and snout have a light golden tint. With her goggles up you can see her brilliant orange eyes glaring on you. You speak up with your inhumanly distorted voice, at least this one lets you talk.
“Who are you? What is going on?” you ask.
She answers ”I don't know what you did to these ponies, but we were sent here to stop you by the princess personally!”
POMF! POMF!
Two more pegasi with flight suits slam into the ground left and right behind her. The blue one from before and the new one has a light blue coat and her mane and tail are snow white. What princess, what people, they've got to have the wrong person!
“Look, I don't eve-” she doesn't listen to you
Instead she speaks to her comrades ”Soarin', Fleetfoot, be careful, from what I've heard this guy is extremely dangerous, if he grabs you, it's over.”
Fleetfoot, the white haired, answers ”Alright, but he won't be able to Spitfire, we are way too FAST! HAH!”
You shout “Wait!” but they are already gone. They shoot into the clouds above you with incredible speed, vanishing from your sight, only leaving dark clouds in their wake. You look around and try to spot them, but to no avail. Better run bac-
Your thought is interrupted by one of them scooping out of the clouds and in front of you, but still out of reach. It's the fiery looking one, Spitfire.
”I'm giving you one chance to surrender, if you put up a resistance I can't guarantee that you get out of this alive. I'm being generous with that offer, there are a lot of ponies that want you dead!” she says stern. If you surrender, you are at their mercy, you don't want that, you are not the one they are looking for! This has to be a mistake! Oh fuck, stop lying to yourself! If there are so many, what did she say? Ponies? That want you dead, you can just as well put up a fight, reason is not so much of a priority anymore as it has been just a few moments ago, before you met those creatures, maybe it's just a dream. Maybe your amnesia is part of that dream, that makes an awful lot of sense, you want to believe that, you DO believe that, it must be the answer to this...everything.
You still have that pistol as a last resort.
”Soarin', see if you can find that griffon, Fleetfoot, go get the Elements of Harmony, it looks like he won't cooperate, I'll keep him busy up here.” Spitfire spouts out these orders like a veteran. With that said the white maned Pegasus rushes down the stairs half flying half running, Soarin' shoots down the outside of the building. Looks like you'll be greatly outnumbered very soon, and you couldn't even stand up to that Rainbow pony. But for now, it's just a 1on1 and she doesn't looks like as if she will attack you, as long as you don't run away that is. She's just floating there, watching you all the while, maybe you can find out more about...well, everything. Albeit if this is really a dream, information wouldn't really matter.
Spitfire doesn't really looks too happy, more concerned or something, is she afraid of you? Maybe you can intimidate her as long as she is alone, but what would you gain? No, since you can't get away, getting on her bad side would be stupid. Why isn't she doing anything? Oh yeah, she's waiting for-
”AAAAHH!!!” you get tackled from the side and knocked off of your feet, sliding around for a few seconds you look to where you just stood, there’s nothing there.
What the fuck was that?!
You wheeze and gasp and try to fill your lungs with air, that tackle sure knocked the wind out of you. Then you hear something from above, lying on your back you look up as a brown blur comes down on you.
It's like a cannonball, if that thing hits you, you're dead!
At the last moment you roll to your side, avoiding the tremendous impact and your certain death. The ground shakes, Spitfire really didn't joke around when she gave you that offer. You look to the site of the impact, it's all dusty and you can only barely make out some movement in there. Knowing that whatever that is, it isn't friendly, you brace yourself for anything as good as you can. As you stand up, a lion jumps out of the cloud with a earsplitting roar. No, it's a hawk, no an eagle, no wait, it's a...must be that griffon Spitfire talked about.
She has orange amber colored fur on her body with darker wings, her head, neck and chest are covered in white fluffy feathers and she has two weathered talons instead of hands and a beak on her face. Half lion half eagle or something like that. The griffon lands on top of you and grabs you by the throat with one of her talons. Now you can see her face better, she has two golden eyes with a gray light purple tint around them, she seems to be full of confidence and serious business. Oh fuck, that grip around your throat could crush stones. Audibly choking you grab her arm and try to yank her off, but she doesn't even acknowledge that. She grabs you with her other talon and pulls you up until you both stand on two feet, or paws in her case.
”You're going to regret what you did to Rainbow, dweeb!” Saying that, she whirls you around and throws you around. She prowls down and jumps right after you.
She is going to kill you, you need to use your pistol, at least to scare her off! You land hard and roll off, evading the griffons talons as she lands. You pull out your pistol, aim and pull the trigger- CLICK-
CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK
Fuckshitfuckshitfuckshitfuckfuckfuck!
You elicit the dud from the chamber. With an explosive movement, the griffon smashes into you, grabs you by the shoulders and buries her claws in your bullet proof vest while looking you in the eye with killing intent.
CLICK CLICK CLICK
Oh god, Why? A part of you is happy that the second bullet didn't go off because you are now aiming directly at the griffon, but the rest is drowned in horror, that griffon is going to murder you!
Just two bullets, those were just two bullets, there are plenty left, one of them has to do its job. You find out that the next eight bullets are also duds, luckily the griffons attention is shifted to Spitfire while you're at it, as she shouts something you don't care about. The griffon just shouts back ”No way!” and turns back to you, now watching your gun with curiosity as you elicit 8 more duds from the chamber. What the HELL? Is this even a pistol? You hold the side of the gun in front of your face as you try to read the engraving 'H&K USP Mat-'
You see angry eyes glaring at you from beyond your pistol.
”Don't fuck with me you dweeb!” She smashes the gun out of your hand and swings one of her talons in a wide arc across your chest. The material was designed to withstand bullets, not talons, and so it rips open with ease. How could you defend yourself against that brute? She rips and bumps on your vest as she's trying to tear it to pieces, your arms and lower torso also suffer from her onslaught but only little blood is spilled. She grabs you by the throat again and gives you a grin that makes all words unnecessary.
If you don't kill her, she will kill you.
With that in thought you clench your fist, intend on bringing it down square on her face. You raise your arm and go for it with all your strength. At the last second before impact she cocks her head like just a bird can, with the result that your fingers smash against her beak. You cry out in pain. You can feel that you have at least two broken fingers as you hold your hand.
”That's all you've got? Seriously? I really should have come back earlier! How could you do all those things if you can't even put up A LITTLE FIGHT?!” You try to steady your footing in her hold, but she keeps you in an uncomfortable position, not letting you stand straight, nor letting you squat down. She pulls you close to her face so that her beak rests between your lenses for a moment, then shouting ”TELL ME!!!” You swear that if she hadn't had such a vice grip around your neck, you'd been knocked on your ass by that roar
“I.. I don't know” you answer hesitantly, she looks even more angry than before
”What's that supposed to mean!? All of ponyville shudders in fear at your sight and you don't even know WHY?!” She reaches out for your thigh, before you can even try to avoid her grip she's already burying her claws into your flesh while pulling your leg upwards.
“Argh! Please listen t-” Blood runs down your leg and soaks your pants and her talon. Overwhelmed with pain you can't keep your balance in this awkward position and lean into her.
”YOU KNOW WHAT!? I'll JUST KILL YOU! THAT TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING!!!” With such a threat shouted in your face, your adrenal glands report in as you feel that you have to make a choice: Fight or Flight!
Since you are so close to your feathered foe and she is holding you in place, the choice is made on an unconscious level in the blink of an eye. You grab around her neck, locking your hands into each other, pull her close while mashing your mask into her face and let loose the most ferocious war cry you can muster. If not for that vocoder it would have been probably only resulted in her laughing her ass off, but she lets loose of your leg and tries to push you away as she makes an expression like a frightened child. Apparently she didn't see that one coming. You try to throw a intimidating pose but your right leg betrays you. She must have done a lot more damage than you thought, adrenaline is a hell of an anesthetic. Looking down you see your blood stained leg with a gaping wound under torn pants.
You look back to the griffon, she gets a grip on herself momentarily and smirks at you ”Hmm, that took me by surprise, I just hope you got more where that came from.” Her expression changes into an evil grin”...'cause you're gonna NEED IT!” She pounces you roaring, talons first, closing around your neck. Adrenaline is probably going to save your day again. She quickly cuts of your air, but you can go for at least 40 seconds before that starts to be a problem, rather than a problem it's an opportunity. With her talons around your neck, she has little defenses elsewhere. You let out a few hooks with your left arm to her side before she also realizes that, letting go of you and jumping back and out of your reach. She lets loose a few barely suppressed chuckles while eying and circling you just out of arms reach, you would attack but your hurting leg would make you fall. She waits, why, oh no, she doesn't-
The adrenaline rush dissipates slowly while she is stalking you, watching your every movement like a seasoned predator, adjusting her position after every limping step you make. You are her prey. You recognize the blue suited pegasi waiting at the sidelines, why aren't they attacking you? Your face starts to hurt again, your leg shivers in pain every time you burden it.
She raises her voice towards you ”Feeling it already?!” She isn't like a seasoned predator, she IS a seasoned predator, she knows exactly what she is doing and you are going down if you're not going to do something about it! ”Are you sure you don't want us to help Gilda?” Spitfires shouts from a safe distance. You spy around, looking for something that gives you an edge and taking a look at those flying ponies. If you could just fly, that would make thi-
That lack of attention is more than a hearty invitation to Gilda to pounce you again. Please, just a little adrenalin, you beg your body as panic sets in. You are thrown on your back and immediately are straddled by the griffon. Her hands meet yours and you try to overpower her in a contest of strength. She has the advantage of position as she shifts her weight on you... well, she IS a featherweight. While your arms may be stronger, her talons can grip down at least twice as hard as your hands, and your broken fingers on your right hand are not helping either. You pull your right hand away and she lets go, leans back and grabs your weak spot with her free talon, yes, THAT weak spot. Her talon grips everything down there and squeezes down. You cry out in pain and cease your struggling immediately.
”You want me to neuter you? HUH!?” she says while squeezing down a little for emphasis, a little harder and she really does. It hurts like hell and you don't want to lose those parts.
“IyieldIyieldIsurrender!” you blurt out hastily. One last hard squeeze on your manparts and she lets go of them, instead she grabs both of your forearms, holds them in place on your chest and raises her right talon. She clenches a fist as you look into her eyes. They say: 'This will hurt at least as much as getting neutered, dweeb!' Oh Fuck, she can say dweeb with her eyes! ”This is of my friends you asshole!” With that said, she brings her fist to your face-
SMACK
If not for your broken nose, that wouldn't have been that bad, but she isn't done yet. Not even trying to count, you shift your head to the side, getting your broken nose out of the onslaught. After what felt like a hundred strikes your left lens shatters and she stops, admiring her work while breathing heavily and looking into your now exposed eye. As she inspects your defenseless form, she flutters her huge wings, looks like she is enjoying herself? No she is frowning now. Damn, need to find a way out of this mess, maybe she accepts your surrender now?
You try to form a sentence of surrender but you can only muster a few grunts as you realize that she not only broke one of your lenses, but also your jaw in more than one place. Your stuttering caught her attention at least.
”Already done you loser? Pah! Shouldn't have messed with the mighty Gilda's friends you dweeb!”
She lets go of you and your arms slump down, barely able to stay conscious as she places herself on your beaten form. ”You don't live up to your reputation, Twilight described you as 'well versed in hoof to hoof combat', but you're nothing. You don't seem to be capable of doing a lot of damage, in complete contrast to me of course!” She says that while gesturing to herself like a noble, grinning all the while. ”You know, even Applejack told me you were a dangerous one, but it looks like you're nothing...I mean you didn't even hurt me once you sore loser, hahah!” Is that so?
You hear two ponies emerge from somewhere, can't keep your eyes open, too much hurt. You hear Spitfire's voice ”Is he still alive?”
Gilda answers ”Of course, I may be super strong, but I can control myself if necessary.”
Soarin' asks ”Should we wait for the Elements, or call straight for the Royal Guard?”
”No, let's wait for the Elements, Fleetfoot should be back any second. I want to talk to them, for all I know, we could have the wrong guy. I was told the guy we are looking for is incredibly dangerous, you heard what he did to Rainbow Dash right? But that guy here didn't even manage to pluck a single one of Gildas feathers.” Spitfire answers
Gilda comments ”Well, maybe that's not because we have the wrong guy, but because I am so awesome!” Someone should teach her a lesson about humility, this Gilda really is a little full of herself.
”I doubt that” Spitfire says.
”He DID TRY to fight back!” Gilda says angrily.
”He cl-” Spitfire is interrupted by a purple unicorn which suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a flash.
Gilda wastes no time to brag ”Twilight, I caught him all by my self! Tell that to the princess, alright? Maybe I'll get a nice reward!” Twilight is apparently out of breath and after a few seconds of heavy breathing and panting she finally pulls herself together.
”We need to get him away from here, I'm not sure if my friends will let him live, they are so angry that they'll tear him apart! Especially Pinky! I think she totally snapped, she sings about how she will mutilate Anonymous all the time, I think she means this guy here!”
”Is that his name?” Spitfire asks her, but Gilda has also a question
”What did he do to the Pink annoyance anyway?” Twilight seems desperate, she shakes her head
"I don't know, she wouldn't tell anyone. I already told them that it wasn't his fault, but they wouldn't listen! They are really mad!”
”Why would it not be his fault, when it was him who did it?” Spitfire has a point
”That's the point, he-” Twilight looks to the Staircase as Fleetfoot, Rainbow Dash and a yellow pegasus mare emerge.
Twilight shouts to the griffon ”Gilda, please, don't let them kill Anon! This is serious!”
”Hmpfh, no one gets my prey, understood!” At least she is open to good ideas. Rainbow and Fleetfoot hold the yellow one as she flips out completely, trying to claw her way to where you lie and blabbering incoherently about murdering someone.
”Calm down Fluttershy! Snap out of it!” Rainbow tries to calm her down. As Fluttershy is being contained, a bunch of ponies emerge from the staircase and trot to Twilight and Spitfire. You pry your eyes open.
There is a white Unicorn with a styled purple mane and tail, a tan mare with blonde mane and tail and a completely pink mare with straight hair. Oh, that last one looks definitely crazy, and she humms a melody. All of them look equally mad when they spot you. Gilda jumps off of you as the Pink one speeds towards you. Gilda tries to constrict her as she reaches out for you. You sit up slowly, not burdening your broken hand. Twilight joins Gilda in an attempt to keep the pink one under control. You hold your pain stricken face with your bad hand as you think of a way out, you consider jumping of the ledge for a moment, in some ways that would only improve your chances of survival.
Spitfire and Soarin' are occupied with keeping that white-purple unicorn off of your throat, struggling with a purple aura that envelopes the white-purples horn and...well, them. That leaves only that tan mare, no wings nor horn, you may be able to handle her, but not in your condition, damn. She runs towards you with an expression that you can only register as boiling rage. Not knowing what to expect you just sit there. She stops in front of you, spins around and ”HAH!!!”

Time slows down from the adrenaline...why? You are as calm as one can be in such a situation. Confronted with a bunch of rage crazed ponies and a griffon brute that could snap your neck anytime. Time slows down even more, to a point of standing still. This can hardly be the consequence of adrenaline, you also don't feel pumped. What the hell?!
Is the flow of time assisting you personally? Will a hot goddess descent and rescue you? Will you be forever stuck in a world where time is at an halt? You can barely move. Oh wait, the time didn't stop, you can see a minimum of movement everywhere, time just got slowed down a lot, only almost stopped. Your mind is overwhelmed with a thousand questions, desperately trying to find a logical conclusion for what is happening, almost driving you crazy in the process. Then you hear a voice. Male, middle aged, serious but soothing.
”Anonymous in aaaall your glory.” A human appears seemingly out of nowhere. He wears a blue business suit with a purple tie and is carrying a Grey briefcase with a round symbol, but you rather concentrate on what he is saying, than oogling his stuff.
”We have kept an eye on you for quite some time now.” He has insanely pale skin and very dark brown hair, under his eyes are dark rings, as if he hadn't slept for an eternity, but that only makes his bright cobalt colored eyes seem as if they'd glow even more.
”You must be confused with what those creatures did to you.” he clears his throat ”Well, I cannot say that it was unjust after what YOU...did to them. The inhabitants of these worlds are so often...underestimated? Maybe it was atonement...for your sins, hmm? But also because of that...well, it's quite unfortunate one could say.”
What is that guy talking about? ”Sadly, my employers have come to the conclusion that you have no practical use to us anymore. So you will not be hired, but at least you will...live? Maybe?" He nods to the ponies while saying that.
If you could just remember! This guy is giving you more questions than answers! ”Still...even if you have lost all your potential, you still helped us out a great deal in taking this certain...construction with you here.” You give it your best go to get away from that tan mare while that creepy guy goes on with his monologue, deeming it impossible to speak yourself with time slowed down that much.
”Ordinarily we wouldn't bother you any further after deciding that you are of no use anymore...but I thought that you deserved to know at least this. I think you should rather concentrate on what is coming to you...seeing that you are trapped here of all places, quite unfortunate...or not?” he rearranges his tie.
”That is all. I wish you best luck for your future, and one last tip if I may, do not talk to the agent of the sun and the agent of the moon about our little encounter...it would not...benefit you here.” That said, he walks out of your view and vanishes.

Time accelerates quickly back to normal again. You managed to put enough distance between you and the tan mare to avoid her attack. Her buck goes into the air ”What in the hay?!” Twilight is now rushing towards you and the blonde.
”Applejack! WAIT!” She addressed the one who just tried to buck you. Applejack is still dumbstruck about how you avoided her, one moment sitting there defenseless, now sitting defenseless somewhere else. That must be confusing to her, but is also visibly making her more angry. She is closer to you than Twilight, much closer, if she pulls herself together soon, she may still get you at least once before Twilight can interfere.
Her expression of confusion changes into determination, determination set on you. Damn, Twilight hurry.
Applejack moves. You want to calm her, tell her you mean no harm to anyone. You stretch your right arm towards her in a defending gesture.
“Harghl ahg fsfsh!” that went well, you're a real smooth talker. She doesn't even react in the slightest, making one last little hop in front of you, she spins around and...Adrenaline is pumping through your veins as you expect her to buck your face, the helmet wont do anything at that angle.
”Hiyaa!” she shouts as she bucks you square on the chest. But she not just bucks you, she bucks the shit out of you. The force of the impact is hardly absorbed by your tattered vest and you black out as soon as the information of you getting hit by her with the force of a thousand suns reaches your brain
...
...
...
Well, you're dead.
Your sternum has a large comminuted fracture.
Your heart stopped beating at that impact.
Also only a few ribs are still intact.
Luckily none of them punctured your lungs...yet.
But what does that help you now?
...
...
...
You feel immense pain.
Stop that, pain is only for the living!
It is darker and you feel a light rain crackle against your exposed eye as you wake up, there is so much pain in your chest, it feels like someone just grabbed into your chest and is forcefully massaging your heart per hand. It hurts so much you want to die again. A deep breath, that will have to clear some pain out. You convulse while inhaling as the pain only intensifies. Every muscle in your body is cramped. The forceful massaging stops immediately as you show signs of life though, but now something is pushing down on your chest, as if someone wants to crush you, a continually pressure accompanied by the worst pain imaginable. It makes breathing a major task.
You open your eyes in hope that someone will finally end this torture. Twilight leans over you, her horn just ceased glowing and she gives you a quick glance, looking at you worried. As soon as she sees your movements and hears your pain induced grunts she turns around to the other ponies.
”Applejack! Didn't you hear me?!” she shouts ”And you girls! Why aren't you listening to me!? Take a look at yourselves! You want to pay Anonymous back for what he did to you, you would even kill him! You have all become what you hated so much, cruel and unfeeling creatures, that stop at nothing to achieve their goals, no matter how ill they are!”
You see Twilight facing the ones that tried to get you earlier. She is backed up by Spitfire, Soarin' and Fleetfoot as she berates them. Gilda the griffon walks slowly over to your broken form as her attention is focused on Twilight.
”Applejack!” the blonde mare steps forward, you try to focus on what's happening as the pain slowly becomes overwhelming and breathing becomes even harder. A miracle that your lungs didn't collapse, almost magic.
Twilight is angry ”How could you even think about ending someponies life?! What would your family say if they knew that you almost killed somepony intentionally?! Imagine how sad that would make Applebloom if she hears something like that about her big sister?! That would break her heart!” Applejack is visibly worried ”Applejack!” the tan mare lets her head hang in defeat and trots to the side. She sits down on her haunches and starts to sob. ”And Rainbow Dash!” the cerulean one with the colorful mane steps forward as her name is mentioned.
Wait, now you've got it, if you breath so shallow that your ribcage doesn't heave, maybe you can...no, you will suffocate. Damn, why don't they just kill you, please! Twilight, step aside! Let them come at you!
Rainbow shouts at Twilight ”You're not going to stop me Twilight!”
”Stop you? I want you to become sane again! Do you think the Wonderbolts will recruit a murderer?!” They both look at Spitfire as she takes a step forward with a stomp.
”You have a lot of potential Rainbow Dash, don't squander that with something unnecessary!”
Gilda adds ”Better listen to her girl, she knows what she's talking about!” You can't take it anymore, the pressure is pushing down on your lungs and makes breathing near impossible, with every heartbeat, a wave of pain is sent through your body. Just. Jump of the ledge. This pain is unbearable, you need to end it, you need to make it stop, living is not worth going through such pain! You attempt to stand up, but Gilda stops you more gentle than you could have ever believed her capable of. Need to end it, just end it!
”You are going to die again if you move around too much dweeb.” NEVER in your live could you have ever imagined that that sentence would be music to your ears. She holds you down on your shoulders as you take another attempt to get up.
”I'M GOING TO KILL HIIIM!!!” the yellow pegamare with the long pink hair takes all of the others by surprise as she jumps you. Only Gilda has enough time to react, she is the only thing between you and your yellow salvation.
Step aside Gilda...Just thinking that won't maker her do it, shit.
Twilight shouts ”No, Fluttershy! You-” the pink one uses the commotion to slip past all of them, including Gilda who is still busy fending off Fluttershy. You muster all your strength, clench your teeth-
Argh, fuck, almost forgot the broken jaw!
Ok, you muster up all your strength, do not clench your teeth, shift your weight and stand up while Gilda is occupied, shivering as shock overtakes you. The pink menace is standing in front of you, she is standing on two legs, her forehead would reach up to your chin like that if your pain mingled mind would allow you to stand straight. Her bright blue eyes stand out from her damp colorless pink tint. Her straight, wet hair is plastered over her face, her expression grim. You clutch the cloth and tatters on your chest and pull them away in an attempt to relieve your lungs of this damn pressure. Every heartbeat nags at your balance. Inhuman pain present all the time, and it gets worse by the minute. It's so very hard so keep standing, hopefully the pink mare will make it quick, you are sick and tired of all of this...
You hear Twilight's desperate shouts ”You promised to hear me out!!!” The pink one takes a step towards you and grabs you by your upper arms, you can see tears welling up in her eyes. After that, everything happened in a blur as consciousness faded away and came back sporadically.
At some point the royal guard joined the party and Twilight argued with them after arguing with everyone else and at some point they came to a conclusion, but you don't even cared anymore at that point. Then the royal guard pegasi grabbed the unicorns and normal ponies and evacuated the building. As Gilda grabbed you, you lost your consciousness in a haze of pain completely, but not before seeing that at least a hundred more of these royal guards were incoming. Dying would have been easier and much less painful.

01 - Drowning A Little

You wake up. A slight pain...everywhere, but it could be worse. You hear beeping sounds, has to be one of these things to monitor heartbeats, what where they called, ECG? You try to shift a little, but your movement is stopped. Arms and legs are cuffed to the bed, but you don't really care, it's warm and cozy under your blanket.
”Hey, wake up.”
You know that voice, it's that Twilight pony, what little memories you have come back. The dark tower. Being chased, no, hunted. Beaten up by an angry Rainbow pony. Being minced by a Griffon creature. That ominous human who controlled time or something like that, he must have been a hallucination, getting beaten to within an inch of your life does funny things to your brain. And dieing. Getting revived by Twilight. Twilight then berating those violent ponies into submission, man, she must be a hell of an leader.
...
You want to forget it, it was so painful and they were all so angry...at you. But that's over, right?
“Is it over?” your voice asks weakly
”Yes it's over, you're safe now.”
Argh, you forgot Twilight!
”Does it hurt? Should I call the Nurse?” she asks.
It hurts, but you need no nurse. Maybe you should risk it and take a peek? Okay, what do you have to lose? You open your eyes, Twilight is staring at you with curiosity and a gentle grin. You are most happy that you are not in that depressing tower thing anymore, it looks like you are in a hospital. You are bandaged all over, should you ask her where you are? Your savior? That's right, she saved your ass in more than one way, more than once, the least you can do is show some gratitude!
“Thank you”
”You're welcome, I believe you have a lot of questions. I will answer them in due time, but not now. You need to rest.”
For all you know she's right, just being awake makes you tired.
“I... I can't rember-” you want to ask what happened, but she cuts you short.
”That's alright. I found an interface from which I could access your mind, and so I removed some... bad stuff.” she puts on an innocent smile.
“You mean... you deleted my memories? Why would you do that?”
She must have had reasons, you are too grateful to get angry at her.
”Please don't jump to conclusions and listen, I know what it sounds like at first! Let me explain. You did some awful things to us, I mean me and my friends, but those actions were planted inside your head by someone else beforehand. So I simply removed those memories that made you do those ill things.” she says that like it's routine for her.
“What do you mean, planted inside my mind? I-Is that even possible?” what is she talking about?
”We can talk about details later, just let me give you a quick rundown, okay?” she is probably right, better listen to her.
”Sooo, where was I, oh yeah! When I was done removing those memories, I took a little look around.” She looks a little embarrassed, wait, she probed your mind?! She must know something about you!
“So you know all my preferences and dark secrets?”
Twilight clears her throat and continues ”Well, that was what I expected too, buuuut...”
Oh no “But? I hope that's a good 'but'.”
She chuckles at that, but keeps her worried look. Wait, did she just laugh at an awful bad, dirty, unintended joke? Things must be serious...
”Well, I was taking a look around, looking for some...uh...answers...but there was nothing!”
“Nothing?” you ask unbelieving
”Yes, you were a blank slate, empty. If I had to guess I would assume that, whoever gave you those evil intentions, also deleted all of your memories. Like you were just born! No! Even less!” she lets out a long sigh ”But you are free now, you can go back home and... oh, well, we can figure that out later. Maybe you should first get cured and then we'll see, okay?”
That didn't shock you half as much as it should. Well, it could be worse, you could be in jail or, wait...
“Twilight, what are these cuffs for? It's not like I'm gonna run away as soon as I get the chance.”
”Just safety precautions. Don't worry, Nurse Redheart will take care of that in a moment. I mean, you WERE quite dangerous back then. But I got to go, I still need to write a letter to the princess, tell my friends that I was right about you all along, and then...” she looks upwards and exhales audibly “Oooohh, so much to do...I'll come by tomorrow maybe, get some rest, bye.”
She leaves the room quickly while shouting ”SPIIIIIIIKE!” Sounds like you are not the only one with problems, whoever that Spike is, he has your sympathy. But now you need some sleep, all that talking was more exhausting than it should. You drift into a dreamless slumber right away.
...
You were cruel
...
You wake up, still cuffed, bathed in sweat. After the sun rose completely, a pony enters your room. A pony with a white coat and she wears her light pink mane in a bun. She wears a nurse's hat and has a tattoo on her flank, a red cross with a pink heart in each corner. You faintly remember Twilight's ass also sporting some kind of a tattoo. Maybe it's a trend here. Her bright blue eyes fixate on you. She smiles. Oh god, she looks like an angel. Your heart aches, you want to hug and cuddle with her.
Stop it, you are too manly for stuff like that!
”Good morning, I'm Nurse Redheart, how are you?” she asks while eyeing you from tip to toe. Oh damn, now she stands directly besides you, she is so cute! What are you thinking! That is a PONY alright, she's not even the same species!
You just stare at her while you fight with your feelings. Your heartache becomes worse as your heartbeat accelerates. The heart monitoring device beeps faster and faster. Damn, she is killing you with her cuteness! You attempt to hold your heart, but the cuffs hinder you.
”Are you in pain? Please say something!” her voice is full of worry.
Just look away! Look at... THE BLANKET! Hope that helps!
”Please calm down! You have to calm down!” she leans over you and pushes you down by the shoulders. Oh god, she worries about you! You feel your cheeks redden as blood shoots to your head. You close your eyes and try to breath steadily, eventually your heart calms down.
”I knew it was too early for you!” she says in a worrisome tone ”Let me get these cuffs off of you, stay awake!” why does she has to be so adorable?! She is even cute while she removes the cuffs. Then it starts again, you grab your chest with a hand as you close your eyes and try to stay calm.
”Don't faint on me, you hear me?” her blue eyes, the cute hat. Oh god, it is, coming... you... need... control... yourself...she stands right next to you again.
Fuck it!
You quickly sit up right, ignore the pain in your chest and
”Eeeep!” she squeaks a little as you hug her, taking her by surprise. After a short moment of confusion she returns the hug. You scratch her a little behind her ear and you are rewarded with a cute sigh. Oh god, what are you doing?! You are creeping her out! And you stink and what if she gets angry! Oh no! NONONONO! You realize it! It's far too late! You can't do anything about it anymore! You want to deny it! YOU HAVE A CRUSH! Maybe if you...maybe if...if you...she...what next?! Think faster!
The heartbeat monitor kicks up again, this time faster than before. Nurse Redheart pushes you gently down and looks at the heart beat monitor.
“S-Sorry I just-” Redheart interrupts your apology
”Shhh. It's okay. Relax now.” She checks your drip and stays with you until you have calmed down again.
She chuckles ”What was that about? Twilight told me she talked to you yesterday for a bit without incident. I wanted to check up on you then, but you were already asleep so...”
“I'm sorry I just...” you don't know what to say, you want to apologize even more
”Anyway, if you are feeling better, I need to make some tests. Twilight gave you a direct magical heart massage and that usually does more damage than it is worth. Just need to make sure that you are going to be alright.” She smiles. You forget the pain and smile back at her sheepishly. By now you must be red as a tomato from blushing.
”You look red, are you feeling fine? Do you have a fever?” she holds her forehead against yours. That is not a medically correct way of taking ones temperature! But she is so close, you'd just have to tilt your head, a tiny little bit, and you could kiss her. Blood starts to gather in your loins. Her eyes are beautiful and she is much warmer than you are. Your heartbeat starts acting up again and the pain comes back a little. She moves back and raises an eyebrow while looking at your ECG.
She looks at you.
She looks back at your ECG.
She looks back to you again.
”You have a very low temperature, are you sure you are feeling fine? Patients with hypothermia are usually pale, but you are bright red” you love it when she is talking dirty, err, you mean “Hypo-what?” You try to look as innocent as possible, but can only muster a bad pokerface. Don't let her get it, please, don't let her figure you out!
”It means that your body temperature is too low, but you had this low temperature all the time and...maybe it's normal for your species...or maybe...” she stares at you while rubbing her chin. Is she suspecting? Oh please no, you couldn't handle that! Thinking of her identifying the reason of these fishy happenings...what would she do? What COULD she do?
”Hmm, weird” she mumbles. ”It's probably nothing noteworthy.” she says with a grin.
You're a smooth criminal anon, a real master of disguise, that was close!
”I'm going to consult Nurse Sweetheart about this, I'll be right back, and then you are going to get a nice sponge bath!” she takes on a sultry look and whispers ”You need it.” she winks at you and trots out of the room. You catch yourself staring at her ass, or rather at her tail.
...
What a pony...that's right a pony! You didn't see any other humans around. Maybe you see them later, for now you indulge in 'what if' fantasies about your favorite nurse.
You scratch your ear, damn hot! Your ear is really warm, that's it. Touching your ears you realize just how much you were blushing, no wonder she thought you had a fever! Your ears must glow in the dark right now! You look outside the window as time goes by, finally your most favorite Nurse on the planet returns with a smile.
”She said it's probably just stress...and she giggled all the time, she can be such a jerk sometimes.” Oh no, Nurse Sweetheart, she didn't...ECG speeds up.
”Okay, just tell me when it starts to hurt okay? Don't overexert yourself. Can you get up? Time for your bath.” she says smiling. If she is going to do what you think, you will be caught red handed. Damn, just try to think about something else!
As you sit up on the bed you realize that you are naked under the blanket
”Is something wrong?” Redheart asks as she catches your uneasiness...she is naked as well...
...
You wrap the blanket around your waist like a towel, effectively eliminating the aspect of being naked and hiding your erection perfectly “I'm not comfortable with being naked, I'm sorry”
Redheart looks puzzled ”Why is that?”
Good question, why?
“Well, I, you know...it's...complicated” you don't even know that yourself.
”Is that so? Is every one of your species like that?”
“I actually don't know, I lost my memory.”
She holds a hoof over her mouth ”Ooops, sorry, Twilight told me all about it, I can be a klutz sometimes, sorry. Come, I'll lead you to the bathroom.”
She takes care of the drip and the ECG and you make your way to the bathroom. After fruitlessly assuring her that you can bath alone, you take a bubble bath. Thank the deity of this land for bubbles. Luckily, every time your heartbeat accelerates because of Nurse Redheart doing something cute, the consequential pain suppresses your boner, and even if you get a hard-on the bubbles hide everything. Everything she does is cute, damn! Why do you have to like her so much?! Damn hormones. Can you even get a crush on a pony naturally? Twilight must have done something to your mind! That's it! Bet she made you feel attracted to ponies! That's it! Mystery solved! No further questions allowed! If it's like that, there is no problem with you liking ponies! After all it's not your fault then, right?
After successfully cleaning yourself and avoiding getting caught with an erection, you make yourself comfortable again in your bed with fresh sheets and all. The ECG gets attached to your chest and you get a nice fruity breakfast. Just as you finish eating, Nurse Redheart comes in, perfect timing!
“Nurse Redheart, I have a question about my injuries.”
A smug grin forms on her face ”I already wondered when you were going to ask.”
You continue “Nurse, last thing I remember I couldn't even stay conscious for more than a few seconds because of my injuries-”
She holds a hoof up, gesturing you to stop ”You need to speak no further, I know exactly what you mean. When you got here you had a lot of fatal injuries. Worst of all was a contusion on your heart muscle.”
“How many injuries did I have? You make it sound like a lot...”
“Yeah uuh, let me just take a look at your patient file, that was quite a lot.” She trots to the end of your bed and takes a look at the clipboard that hangs there. ”You had...a bruised heart muscle, your sternum body had a comminuted fracture, I'll skip the single names but you had 8 broken ribs, a consequential traumatic pneumothorax-”
You interrupt her “What does that mean?”
”One of your ribs punctured your lung and you couldn't breath properly.”
“Ooh, okay.” ouch. You take a look at your chest, Nurse Redheart bandaged you up after your bath again.
Redheart continues to read ”Eeeehm, your middle and index fingers were broken, so was your jaw in three places, your left cheek bone had a comminuted fracture as well, your nose was broken and your left clavicle had a hair fracture. You had also major cuts on your torso and upper arms and your right leg had major lacerations.”

She puts the clipboard away satisfied and comes back to the head of the bed. Putting on a worried face she asks ”What did you do? Did you have a brawl with a dozen manticores or a full grown dragon?” then she leans in on you, examining your many healed injuries and looking for an answer written on you.
”I did some bad things apparently...and after I lost my memories it came back to bite me in the ass. I don't want to talk about it too much if you don't mind.”
”Don't worry, I won't pry if you don't want to talk about it.” such a sweetheart.
But your initial question is still unanswered “What about my injuries? Why are they in such a good condition, I doubt they healed overnight.”
”Oh yes, I almost forgot, sorry. Okay, it is normal procedure here to put somepony into an induced coma if they have a serious heart injury. Its to keep the heart calm, if you had woken up the next day, the pain from your several injuries would have increased your heart rate and in combination with a heart condition it could lead to death!. Wearealsonotsurehowmuchmoredamagethatheartmassagedidtoyouthatswhattheupcomingtestsarefortomakesureeverythingisinorder!” After saying the last part without breathing she has to catch her breath, but she seems happy to share her medical knowledge with you. Her breath smells fruity. Only now you realize how close she is to your face, she stands half in your bed actually. Maybe you can...
She looks at you with a smug grin and wide eyes, still proud of her medical knowledge. You take off her Nurse's hat, but she keeps looking at you. You reach to her head and gently scratch her ear, she closes her eyes and lets out a cute sigh. She likes it, no question. You caress her mane and she leans in a little. You fondle her neck below her ear, a little blush spreads on her face. She really likes it.
For the next few minutes you switch between petting, ear scratching and caressing along her neck and she totally digs it. She is so damn cute! You want to kiss her and lean in a little. Then you hesitate, not sure about whether you should do it or not.
BANG!
Suddenly the door bangs open.
Redhearts and your jimmies are both rustled tremendously. The ECG reaches an incredible rate as your heart makes a jump and you are rewarded with a great amount of pain in your chest. You curl up a little while holding your chest and groan in pain.
”Oh sorry! I forgot about that!” a second nurse rushes to your bed and checks your vital signs ”But I was wondering where Nurse Redheart was hiding!”
You look at the new nurse, she has a bright yellow coat, blue mane & tail and has a white cross with pink hearts in each corner on her flank. Her nurse's hat has a more detailed logo than Nurse Redheart's. She glares over you at her ”Since Nurse Redheart only wanted to check up on Anonymous real quick!”
Redheart now glares back ”Anonymous wanted to know something about his condition, so Nurse Redheart explained it to him!”
Are they talking in 3rd person now? Hopefully this doesn't end in a cat fight...or ponyfight. They glare at each other for a few moments. Then they break out into laughter. The yellow coated nurse heads out of the room saying ”Come on sugar, I need your help with Screwball, she's acting up again.”
Not sure what to say you look up to Redheart. ”Yeah, sorry about that, Nurse Coldheart likes to do those kinds of things, but she's all right. I'll check up on you later.” that said she trots after Nurse Coldheart and leaves the room as you wave her goodbye. You are left to your thoughts again.
...
After some time a brown pony enters your room alongside Nurse Redheart who gives you a warm smile. The brown earthpony introduces himself as Dr. Whooves and he will make some tests with you in order to check on your hearts condition. You are lead to a room with some funny looking devices and a treadmill, here you have to make some exercises while being strapped to a few monitors and other machines. Dr. Whooves and Redheart make a few 'hmm's, 'oh's and 'aha's on occasion, every time your heart beats too fast, it starts to hurt, you tell them immediately but they urge you to go on for just a little while.
After that Nurse Redheart leads you to back to your room. Dr. Whooves later tell you that they can't tell if there is something wrong because your heart pattern is different from that of normal ponies. The pain will subside within 6 months you are told. Twilight doesn't visit today. And Nurse Redheart has apparently her hands full with some ponies called Screwball and Screw Loose.
So the day ends without any major incident and you head to sleep
...
You did horrible things
...
”Hey, wake up sleepyhead.” You get woken up by a Nurse, but you close your eyes quickly again before you can see anything.
“Nurse Redheart?”
”Nope, today is Nurse Redheart's day off, so I will take care of you. I'm Nurse Tenderheart, nice to meet you.” Good, at least it's not Nurse Coldheart, her name suggests bad things. You open your eyes slowly and take a peek at the new nurse.
She has a light blue coat, purple eyes and a light green mane. She has the same Nurse's hat as Redheart and also the same symbol on her flank.
“Uuh, hi” you say groggily.
”Today is your big day big boy, you are going to be released from the hospital.
That's kind of sudden and you have to ask “Already?”
”Already? You are here two months and a half by now, no one told you? The only thing you need is some rest and time will take care of the rest.” she says enthusiastic
“That's kind of sudden...”
”Don't worry, you'll be fine.” she assures you.
“When can I go?”
”As soon as the doctor had a talk with you.” She gives you a tray with your breakfast, then leaves.
...
You should have a talk with Twilight after you get out of here. There is something that needs to be done, before you head home, where ever that may be. Because you have dignity! And because you are no coward! Yes, that's it. You have a plan now! You clench your fist and look at it, the fist that hurt Twilight and her friends. You will apologize for the things you have done! You may not know what that was, nor do you care at the moment. What is important is, that you don't just run away from your wrongdoings!
...
Finally the doctor has time for you. He barges in with a clipboard at the ready and wastes no time ”So Mr. Anonymous, Nurse Tenderheart already told you that you are being released today I guess?” professionalism dripping from every word.
“Yes.”
”Alright, listen then. You still have a heart condition, you feel it every time you stress it, right? I will prescribe you some pills that will deal with that. You will take them every day for the next three months and at the end of every month you will come here for a check up. If you experience unexplainable dizziness, you faint, the heartache remains for extended periods of time, you are very tired all the time or you simply have some questions, come here immediately. Do NOT take these symptoms on the chin, those could indicate serious consequential heart conditions.” This guy means serious business.
“Okay, I understand.” you stummer.
”Alright, you just need to sign some papers at the reception and you're good to go.” He pats you on the shoulder, then leaves ”See you in a bit Anonymous.”
“Yeah, goodbye.” you feel awkward, who pays for your treatment anyway?Also, you have no clothes...walking around naked is not what you need right now. You take the sheets of your blanket and wrap them around your waist. Maybe if you are lucky, you can get away with them. You walk out of your room and wander around the hospital, a few nurses walk around. As you almost crash into Nurse Tenderheart because you were staring at some cribs with little foals, you ask her for directions. She glances shortly at the sheets, shrugs and shows you the way. Quickly you sign the papers and leave the hospital.
Fresh air, a chilly breeze, blue cloudless sky. And a purple unicorn running towards you. ”Anon! Nurse Redheart just told me this morning that you are being released today! If I knew-”
“It's alright Twilight, I also got informed just today, aaand I wanted to talk to you.”
She looks pleased ”Oh good, that's what I had in mind as well. Nice...thing you have there by the way.” she points to your sheet clothing and giggles, then waves you to follow her and you walk side by side.
“Laugh all you want, but tell me, where ARE my clothes?”
”I burned them.” she says casually.
She burned them
“You burned them...”
Awkward silence. She looks proud, as if she did something heroic.
“You're kidding right?”
Twilight shakes her head ”Nope, they are absolutely gone.” This mare...just why...
”Oh come on, I'm just teasing you a little.” Knew it!
“So you have my clothes?” you ask hopefully.
”No, I really burned them, but for good reasons. A lot of ponies saw you in those clothes...with that creepy mask and all, so we told them that that person died. Remember, everypony knew that this masked guy was the evil pony.” she explains that everyone associated this mask outfit with that tower and that what she did was the best choice. She feigned your death.
After some time you both reach a tree house building
“Is that your house?” you ask her
”It's the Golden Oaks Library of ponyville and my home, come on in, I tell you what happened after that day on the tower.” she says proudly. You step inside, it's warm and cozy inside and books are scattered everywhere.
”Iiiit's probably best if you lie down here.” she points to a lounger. You waste no time and make yourself comfortable. You look to Twilight, she places herself at your side and begins to tell you what happened...everything.
About the first incident, a terrible storm during which that huge tower appeared out of nowhere.
After that, the pregnancy rates dropped to zero instantly.
How the three princesses figured out that the tower was at fault.
Your appearance a few weeks after the investigations on the tower started.
How you first abducted Twilight herself, Applejack, then Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and at last half of Fluttershy's animals...of which none survived your...experiments.
About the great escape of her and her friends thanks to Fluttershy's heroism.
The following riot to bring down that tower, ponies wanted to destroy that thing armed with pitchforks and torches. Apparently that didn't work.
Princess Celestia planned to banish that entire tower to the surface of the sun to get rid of it once and for all afterward.
How the royal guards were supposed to sweep the tower, so no pony would get accidentally sent to the sun.
Why the Elements of Harmony participated, of course they also wanted your ass.
That Twilight found a secluded area inside of the tower, some kind of office to control a few functions the tower manually, but most of it's functions were unavailable.
How she managed to remove your memories through an interface in that office, apparently there was a lot of combat training and orders to investigate all unknown species...in brutal ways.
That all beings in Equestria were flagged as unknown in your head only made things worse of course.
About the berating of her friends, that you weren't at fault, but they wouldn't listen because you hurt them so much in so many ways.
But then she hit the roof and convinced them in the end, probably because more of intimidation than goodwill, but whatever.
How she faked your death with that suit so you wouldn't be lynched.
And that the only ones that know who you are, are some people called Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash & Gilda, Twilight herself, the captain of the Wonderbolts Spitfire, her second in command Soarin' and another Wonderbolt named Fleetfoot.
...
It took her all day to sum up all the events of the past two years, alongside multiple theories for every thing you both know nothing of.
“Oooof! Twilight, that was a lot of information, I need a break.”
Twilight smiles proudly, you are not sure why, either because she saved you, or because she knew so much from the top of her head, or both. “But you did save me.” you stroke her mane “I am really grateful to you. If not for you, I wouldn't be sitting here.”
After a few seconds of content stroking, she grabs your hand with her hoofs and examines it.
”Oh you don't have to, after all, you were as much a victim as we were.” she says that without looking up from your hand.
Now to your plan “I still want to apologize properly to you and your friends, and-”
Now you've got her full attention again, she stares you dead in the eye, pondering heavily ”Thaaaat might not be such a good idea as you may think...albeit they said that they had forgiven you, they are not over it. They might still hold a grudge against you.” she says worried
You sit up and answer “That alone is enough reason to do it!”
”I really don't recommend this, what you did really made an impact on their lives. Rainbow wasn't able to fly for 2 months AFTER we got rescued from that tower, and she already was in there for a month. Do you know how important flying is for a Pegasus's psyche? Especially Rainbow's? Princess Celestia personally requested for Gilda's help to cheer her up. Well, at least Gilda wasn't a complete jerk anymore when she came back.” Twilight now looks sad. You need to change the subject, before this gets out of hand. You stand up and walk around a bit.
“But it's over now, all this madness. Is that tower gone already?”
The sad look on her face vanishes as quick as it came ”Oh yes, Princess Celestia sent that abomination to the sun the next day we captured you.” To the sun, this sounds insane “Can she really do that? Who is this Princess anyway?”
This topic is more to her liking and she proceeds with telling you the story of the land of Equestria, even though you only asked after the princess. She casually tells you about the recent history, the princess, that you can stay here at the library and about her friends and what else comes to her mind, which is a big one. She does so during the course of dinner and you don't dare to interrupt her. After she is done blabbering, she shows you the place where you will sleep tonight. She provides you with the essentials and you take a quick shower and make yourself ready to sleep. After that day full of 'what happened's, you happily jump into the pile of blankets and pillows that make your makeshift bed
...
With or without Twilight's help, you will find them, and then you will apologize to them, every single one of them!
You will get to it right tomorrow!
...
The next day starts with a little dragon poking your face.
”Spike, stop bothering Anon, he was just released from hospital yesterday.”
That's right, hospital, you forgot to buy your medications! But you have no money to do so. So serious thoughts so early, you don't want them. You groan and stretch and make your way to the bath. Your trusty hospital sheet always around your waist. You do your bathroom things and get to Twilight who's already digging into her breakfast.
“Twilight, do you think I could get a job somewhere here in ponyville? I need to earn some money to make a living.”
Twilight perks her ears up and smile with her mouth full
”Thasshhh ah ghuuud- *gulp* That's a good idea! I thought about it a few days ago, but I didn't know how to approach that matter.”
“Do you have any suggestions? I don't know where to start.”
”Spike! Can you please get the newspaper?”
The little dragon speeds to the door and comes back with a newspaper
”Thank you Spike.” Twilight takes the newspaper from Spike and he joins the breakfast. The newspaper is split in three and you begin searching for jobs, but you have the part with the sport news.
“Twilight, those are the sport news, do you see any job offers?”
”I know, I thought you'd like them, aaand I have the breaking news part, Spike is looking for the jobs.”
You can almost see her grin behind the newspaper. Spike is mumbling incomprehensibly while working through the job offers.
”Here! This one is just perfect! The Spa Ponies are looking for a part-timer!”
Massaging little ponies is not happening, you snatch the newspaper from Spike. “You better eat your breakfast buddy, besides, I don't think I have qualifications for something like that, let me see what else there is...”
“That's not what Nurse Redheart told me yesterday. And you also tried that on me yesterday!” you ignore Twilight and...fuck. There only are 3 job offers at all.
“How big is ponyville?” you ask Twilight.
”Why do you ask?”
“There are only like, 3 job offers in here.”
”So many?”
You groan and show her the newspaper.
”You can decide what to do, isn't that great? Usually there is only about one vacancy in here at all. You can go to the spa, that's my recommendation for you, you can try it at 'Sofas and Quills', aaaand, oh , the last one is a job at the local school, it's just a stand-in job but you should try anyway!”
By now your face is buried in your hands, given the choices, there is no real choice. You think about where to go first as you spy Twilight's flank.
“It might be a bit sudden, but what's with those marks on your flanks actually? Are those tattoos?”
”Oh, those?” Twilight stands up and gestures to hers, a pink-purple six-pointed star surrounded by five small white stars.
“Yes, all the ponies seem to have them, what's the matter with those?”
A big grin grows on Twilight's face
“Can you keep it short please? There are jobs that need to be found.”
Twilight answers, never stopping to grin ”I'll try.” She pouts her head sideways up, keeping one eye open to see your reaction. You cross your arms and raise an eyebrow, then her blabbering begins again. ”A cutie mark, that's what they're called, is what bla bla bla...” Oh god, she needs to learn to control herself in that regard, after 15 minutes you know more about cutie marks than you want and make her finally stop.
“TWILIGHT!” she makes a jump and looks at you dumbfound after your third attempt to make her listen. “Thank you, but I really need to go now, bye!” You don't give her a chance to respond and rush out of the door, hearing Twilight shouting after you ”But I haven't told you about the unique cutie marks that appeared in the recent zebra historyyyyyy!”
You give her a thumbs up without turning back and get out of her sight.
First stop: Quills and Sofas!
You ask your way around, earning a few awkward stares from a some ponies and finally make it to the place. With your white sheets around your waist you knock on the door. A brown earth pony with a quill and a sofa as cutie mark opens the door and greets you ”Hey there big fella, I'm Davenport, owner of Quills and Sofas, need a sofa? Or maybe I can help you with a quill?” he smirks confidently.
“Good day sir, I'm Anonymous and I was looking for a job, in the-”
He gives you a guilty frown and stops you ”Oh I'm sorry, if you had been a few minutes earlier...”
He points inside to another pony which looks like his son, sitting behind a counter and waving at you both with enthusiasm. Okay, so the only job that most probably wouldn't drive you crazy isn't available, could be worse, right? Let's see about that school. Maybe being a teacher isn't as bad as you've thought until now.
You ask your way to the local school. It's a bit secluded, but that is not worth mentioning. As you approach, you see a bunch of little fillies playing at a playground near the school building.
A cerise colored adult stands at the entrance of the school. You walk over to her and introduce yourself “Excuse me please. I'm Anonymous, there was a job offer in the newspaper this morning for a stand-in job here.”
She smiles broad. Yes! Smiling is always a good sign!
”Oh wonderful! Errmm, sorry, where are my manners. I'm Cheerilee, the teacher here at the Ponyivlle Schoolhouse, I was looking for somepony who could take over teaching the little foals for a few week when I go on vacation in two months.”
You scratch the back of your neck “I'll gladly do it, but I have no experience in teaching.”
”No problem, I already worked out a detailed curriculum which you just have to follow. It's foalproof!” While Cheerilee gives you a little course of what you would have to do, a filly catches your attention.
It's a white filly with green eyes and her mane & tail are lightly curled in two different purple tones. She watches you for a few moments, then interrupts Cheerilee ”Are you Anonymous?” she asks curious.
“Uuuhm, yes? wh-” she speeds away before you can say another word.
”SCOOTALOO!!! HE'S HERE!!!”
Cheerilee now has a concerned look on her face ”Oh no, what are they up to?”
You hear a stampede coming your way, all of the foals you saw earlier emerge from around a corner. A orange filly with spiky cerise colored mane & tail speaks up, making the entire horde stop right behind her ”You're Anon?!” They all look at you, awaiting your response, you've never felt that awkward before. But you just agreed on a job to teach these fillys for a few weeks, you have to stand up to them, show them your authority!
“I'm Anonymous, and -” they storm at you in unison
What the?!
FUUUUUUCK!!!
Just now you realize that they are all armed! Armed with pencils! Every single one of them. The one you suggest to be Scootaloo just screams ”You know what to do! GET HIM!”
Cheerilee futilely attempts to intercept the mob, but she can only handle three at a time, and they wiggle themselves free eventually ”Stop it you foals! Sto-”
You can only hear giggles and laughter as the wave of little ponies crashes down on you. You try to keep them away, but they push you down easily, you don't want to hurt them either so you keep struggling to a minimum. You feel them painting all over your body and, oh no! Your sheets must be like a canvas to them!
“Stop it, what are you doing! Staahhp!” you scream, but they don't listen. They roll you over on the back and ravage your front, Scootaloo jumps on your chest and gives you a grin that splits her face ”I'm so sorry.” she says with intentionally bad innocent acting ”But the awesome Rainbow Dash & Gilda told me to go a little rough on you.”
Damn.
“Rainbow and Gilda huh?” you ask cautiously. She giggles, grabs a pencil with her mouth and makes a drawing of a rainbow colored mare and a Griffon on your chest. Then she draws all over your face. After they are done and scattered you stand up and turn to Cheerilee. She has an apologetic look now and walks over to your now colorful self.
”I'm so sorry about that! We just had an art lesson and they always want to go on after that, I'm so sorry!” she apologizes
“It wasn't your fault, I know who's behind this. Maybe...I'm just not fit for this job...sorry.”
Being a teacher might be even worse than you thought.
Cheerilee points you in the direction of the lake and apologizes another thousand times. You shrug it off and make your way to the accumulation of liquid to wash yourself clean. In your current state, you are even more colorful than that Rainbow Dash. Can't walk around like that.
The sky is clear and the sun shines warm, except for that one cloud...that one seems odd...you can't shake the feeling of being watched and the cloud seems to follow you too. Every time you turn around, the cloud is there...probably just freaky coincidence. Hope you don't meet anypony on your way. Yeah, that would be embarrassing, like that minty colored pony over there snickering at you.
Shiiiiiiiit!
Now she bumps her pal, a creamy colored one with a cobalt blue & light pink mane. Oh no, now they are both laughing.
Reputation status: As good as Ruined
You walk faster, have to get away from watching eyes. You must look like a clown, these two are laughing out loudly by the time you're out of sight. Damn, where is that stupid lake? Gotta get rid of this shit! Another pair of ponies comes your way, and you can see another couple a bit farther away. You're not even in town, yet there are ponies everywhere! What the hell?! You hear some giggles right behind you, swirling around, you see...nothing. The cloud, even the clouds laugh at you. It could be worse, they didn't paint anything perverted onto you. Alright, man up you pussy, there's nothing to be ashamed of! You are just the victim of a prank! You ignore all the cackles and chuckles from the ever growing crowd and take your walk of shame like a man. The cloud is ever present, by now it's apparent that some ponies are hiding inside that thing. Clouds that are roaring with laughter ain't natural, no matter where you are. You finally arrive at the lake, time to wash this shit off, but first you admire yourself in the reflection on the water. Oh god.
Oh fuck damn shit.
You look hilarious.
No wonder they all laughed. You can't help but smirk at your own image. Suddenly your reflection grows a second head, and a third! You know those! You spin around and see the culprits “Gilda! Rainbow Dash!”
They can barely restrain their laughter.
“Scootaloo already told me! You both instigated this!” You can't help but feel a little angry
”BWAHAHAHAA!” they burst with laughter ”Let us give you a hand!” Gilda exclaims laughing, Rainbow adds ”Yeah, you can't walk around like THIS PFHFHFH!”
Gilda grabs your left arm, Rainbow the right, they steady their footing and-
“No! Stop it! I don't-”
You can fly.
Backwards.
You scream as you fly over the water. The last thing you see are the both of them rolling on the shore, holding their stomachs. Then you hit the surface of the water pretty far inside of the lake. It isn't as cold as you feared.
But.
You are sinking.
How do you get back to the surface?!
You exhale.
You sink deeper.
Inhal- GRBGLHBLMISTAKEBGRHBL!!!
Panic kicks in. You can't swim! You flail around in terror. Not like this! It feels like an eternity without air. NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU! Only Rainbow and Gilda are here, and they hate your guts!
See? There they are! They even dived into the water to watch you drown!And now they hold on to you! They want to do it themselves! Watching isn't enough for them!
You struggle with all that you have, lack of oxygen making you dizzy already. You need to cough, expel the water you breathed in! Your lungs start to burn and flinch as you suppress any breathing related reflexes.
Gilda somehow managed to get behind you and pins one of your arms at your back. Her other talon holds your jaw. You have no chance! Your muscles start to relax as Gilda almost breaks your arm and squeezes your neck. You can just as well embrace the inevitable. End of the line. Gilda swims to the surface with you in her iron grip. AHA! She just wants to give you hope, so she can crush it again!
Both of you break through the surface and you cough to your hearts content.
She's coughing at least as much as you do ”Hold still dweeb, or you'll drown us both!” she's backstroking, keeping your head above the water. Both of you reach the shore alive, Rainbow grabs you as soon as Gilda drops you on the sand and pulls you away from the water. You just lie there, holding your stomach and catching your breath, just like Gilda.
”That's the third time I saved your sorry ass dweeb, you seriously owe me now!” she really did!
“Why did you save me? I thought you hated me both?”
“We are way too cool to do that.” Rainbow says
The griffon adds ”Yeah, that would be so not cool.”
You scratch the back of your neck, now you feel even more guilty, great. They forgave you. That easily? No way! It has to be more difficult! An awkward silence spreads. The heavy breathing dies down after a few minutes and the initial shock fades away. They shake off some water, you sit up and look at them. Gilda and Rainbow ready themselves to take off. Not so fast!
“Wait!”
They both turn around, their eyes make their thoughts clear: Make it quick or you can eat their dust!
“I...” Don't fuck this up now!!! “I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about what happened.”
They turn around, attention set on you
”Then learn to swim dweeb.”
W... what?! “N-No, that's not what I-”
You are cut short by their laughter, Rainbow trots over to you and pats you on the shoulder roughly ”We know, we're just pulling your leg buddy.” she says that while giving you a hearty grin ”Twilight told us all, you weren't yourself and all that.”
You don't know what to say “But...”
”Oooh, don't start whining dweeb, show at least SOME backbone!” Gilda is kinda right, you don't want to annoy them
“Okay Okay, just, don't throw me in the lake anymore.”
They look at each other and laugh some more, but that's not enough.
“But if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know, I'll do what I can for you.”
They stick their heads together and mumble something, after a few glances in your direction and occasional giggles, they turn to you.
”Alright, we consider your offer. Aaand sorry about the lake thing, we didn't expect THAT.” with that said, they lift off and out of sight in no time. You wash the rest of the paint from your skin, careful to avoid any deep spots in the water. The drawings on your sheet are completely unimpressed by your attempts to get rid of them. Well, they don't look THAT bad, you'll get them later with detergent eventually. For now, you just hang your sheet on a twig in the sun to dry and lie down. Thinking a little. In retrospect, everything went better than expected. Okay, except that near death experience maybe. Maybe the others have similar dispositions towards you AND won't kill you accidentally? Hmm... Nah. Better don't get your hopes up. But for now you feel great, relieved, like you finally did something that bothered you for a long time. Your jimmies are as unrustled as they can be. You doze off a little.
...
You dream of violence...
...
You wake up some time later, somehow your high spirits are gone, but your not in a particularly bad mood. Anyway, there is still a job you need to check out, you equip your dry, comfy hospital sheet shorts and head out.
The Ponyville Day Spa.
It really goes against your gut feeling to even ask for a job here, only girls work in these places, right? Oh to hell with all the prejudices, you have no job, no home, no money, no knowledge about anything and you wear a sheet plastered with foal drawings, what's the worst that could happen?
The door sports two big hearts
“Uuugh”
The entire building stands out in girlish colors
”Uuuuuuuugh”
And there is a poster filly above the door which is showered by glittering stars that fall out of a horseshoe
“UUUUuuuuuuuuugh”
”AHEM! Are you going to groan and block the entrance all day?” you turn around to the source of the sophisticated voice. OH SHIT! It's that white unicorn Rarity! Oh no, you aren't ready to confront her already! What to say? What CAN you say?! First off, don't stand there like an idiot!
You step aside, she just watches you with disinterest. Fuck, what now? She is going to a spa you moron, she has class! Be polite! At least try to!
You hold her the door open and she speaks up ”Hmpfh, at least you know your place now, wait here. I'll be right back. Don't dare to turn tail!” she walks inside and the door closes behind her. Now's your chance!
NO! She said wait! If you run away from this, she will hate you even more!
Damn.

02 - Pink Problems

You just hope that it's not going to be as awkward as with Rainbow & Gilda. You wait outside the Day Spa for Rarity, a short time passes and she emerges from the spa again. As soon as the door is closed she starts
”Now, why is a brute like you standing outside a spa?” she examines you in disgust.
“Uh...I...ehrmm...” are you sure you want to tell her?
”I have never seen something THAT sickening!” she tugs at your colorful trusty hospital sheet shorts with a hoof, her disdain more than apparent.
”HOW could you violate fashion with such a horrible thing, how can you even wear it? Let alone walk around in public with it?”
She seems to be oblivious to what happened? “Are you not angry at me?” you ask.
”Why do you ask Anon dear?” she blinks rapidly and somehow you know that she expects exactly what you have in mind “Because I wanted to make it up to you.”
A sly grin forms on her face ”Make up what?”
She wants you to say it, she is teasing you! It can barely get any more uncomfortable.
You hesitate for only a moment “For...what I did...to you...and your friends.”
She throws back her hair in a 'I am fabulous' way and says ”Oh, I still AM angry at you, but it is neither the right time nor the right place to punish you. But if you really want me to forgive you, you should start by your sense of fashion.” she points to your clothing, not even looking at it.
Come on, it doesn't look THAT bad...okay, maybe a little but “That's all I have.”
Her jaw drops, eyes go wide ”Unforgivable!...Why don't you just throw it away and walk around like anypony else that has no sense of style?”

You look at a passerby, no clothes “You mean...naked?”
”Oh my gosh!” her hoof meets her face ”How can you make it sound so...vulgar!? You are unbelievable! You will come by my boutique later today, the Carousel Boutique or else I won't ever give you a chance to earn ANY forgiveness! Am I clear!?” she is dead serious.
If you put up a resistance now-
Don't even think about it! “Okay, I just need to do something, then I'll come right away.”
”Hmpf, what WERE you doing here anyway. You don't look like as if you're here for a hooficure?”
“A what? I was looking for a job.”
Her jaw drops...again.
“They had a job offer in the newspaper, so I want to try at least.”
Rarity holds a forearm in front of her eyes while standing on two legs, she inhales and ”OhwhyhereMypeacfulspadaysareoverIwillneverevereverhavea...”
Better stop listening, it kind of hurts your ears and it doesn't sound like this will lead to any result. Just, oh god, she's posing like someone just shot her!
”Idontevenwanttothinkaboutwhatfluttershywouldhavetosayshewouldexplodeinangerandtheniamhernexttargetandeverythingwill...”
Just sneak into the spa and, What the Sh**, she just dropped herself on a lounger that appeared out of nowhere!
”Andthennoonewilleventhinkaboutbuyingclothesinboutiqueanymoreandtheniamruinedforever...”
Okay, just a few more steps, Open the door, Slip inside, Cautious now, Close the door and-

”Hello and welcome to the Ponyville Day Spa.” you are immediately cornered by two ponies
”I am Aloe.”
”And I am Lotus Blossom.”
They come closer and closer, you feel like a caught burglar, what the fuck?
”How may we be of service?”
They stop barely before bumping into your face. You look at them both, they look...thrilled? Say something you idiot!
“Ahem, eeh”
Their grins penetrate your very soul...more or less. Why do they have those obtrusive grins all over their faces? They look like as if one of them is about to pull out a knife and turn you into a pincushion or they just both start to rape you. Either way something is off, but there is nothing you can do about it now
“I heard you look for a-”
The pink one doesn't let you finish ”YES!”
”Pshhh, let him talk to the end, you'll ruin it!” the other one says.
Okay, your suspicion is 100 percent confirmed.
“Eeerm, I'm looking for a job, but I-”
”HIRED!”
Okay, that was the other one, they are both equally excited it seems.
”BUT I have no experience, and I'm not even sure what you do here.”
They take a quick look at each other, then back to you.
”Of course not.” one of them says.
”But that's not a problem, we'll teach you.”
You wish they'd stop talking like that, it's like they have one mind.
”Follow us.”
”We'll give you a tour.”
You do as they say, they know something you don't, that was more than way too easy. Maybe they have a secret torture room and are looking for exotic prey?
”...and here our guests can enjoy relaxing baths; herbs, mud or just normal water, you name it.”
They go on.
”And over there we give our guests our famous massages.”
You still don't know which one of them is which, the lightly rose colored one whispers in your ear
”And upstairs are the private rooms, for more private massages.”
Oh Shiiiiiiiiiiit! How did you manage to end up here!?

The tour ends a few minutes later, the place isn't that big.
”Come by next monday morning.”
”Your training will start then.”
You thank them and step outside. If it weren't for that one certain comment, maybe she was just joking? The whole thing felt weird but at least you got yourself a job more or less. You only have to go to that Carousel Boutique and meet Rarity. And then you can relax for the day and figure out how to approach the other ponies you mistreated.

Noon barely passed and you are beaten already, maybe you meet Nurse Redheart somewhere, that would be nice.
You think about Redheart as you search for Rarity's boutique. Reeeedheart, ehehhehe...
Eh?
Ponies are staring at you, stop making a stupid face! They must think you are retarded or something!
You don't really care, because your attention is focused on that building that just came in sight. You see a mix of carousel and boutique.
The Carousel Boutique!
Nice work Sherlock! That was easy.
You walk inside, the doorbell announces your trespassing.
Rarity comes around a corner ”Welcome to the...oh, it's you. Come on in.”
“Sooo, can I help you with something, or what do you want?” you ask rudely.
”There really are no manners left in you, but I'll see what I can do about that later, just follow me quickly, that thing hurts to look at.” she makes a grimace and gestures you to follow.
You are led into a messy room full with marequins, cloths and sewing utensils.
More of your detective-side kicks in “I take it you're a Seamstress?”
”And a Shopkeeper and a Fashion Designer, now stand there and get rid of that disgusting...whatever that is please.” she points at your only clothes.
Oh boy, this is going to be SO awkward
“But I have nothing underneath!”
She raises an eyebrow ”Aaaand?”
No one understands you “I don't like being naked!”
She looks annoyed ”Now don't make this any harder than it has to be. I want to make you some decent clothes for free and you are whining about being naked?” she has a point, but doesn't stop there ”Maybe I should whine too, so you-”
“Nononnonono, I oblige!”
If her whining is only half as annoying as what she did in front of the spa, you are going to do something you'll come to regret later.

You still hesitate, Rarity notices that, her horn glows in a light cornflower blue and your sheets are swooped away from your loins. Now you are stark naked.
”Oh my.” she blushes ”Oh my, I'm so sorry.”
What?
”I didn't know I had SUCH a effect on you.” she says that in a sultry tone ”Well, I guess I DO look appealing to anypony.” full with pride she rummages through her stuff.
What does she mean?
What effect?
You look down, everything's normal and in place, no hard-ons or something weird.
You stare at her for a few moments, now that she mentioned it, she does look kinda beautiful, but you're not attracted to her in any way, especially not like Redheart!
”He he, I'll try to make it quick dear.”
She takes a measuring band and measures you from tip to toe, you catch her eyes wandering over your package more than once, but think nothing of it. By the time she is done, she's blushing furiously.

She levitates a white piece of cloth in front of your face. No words needed; you grab it and wrap it around your waist.
”Can you wait outside for me please, I made up my mind about what you can do for me.”
Success!
You are thankful that you may escape this oppressing atmosphere, but what did she mean? Effect?
You sit on a chair and wait for her, It takes longer than expected but she finally emerges from her room.
She has simple black shorts and a white shirt with her
”Try them on please.”
As you do so, she tells you what she had in mind ”You said that you want to make it up to me and my friends, is that right?”
Rarity sits on the chair you just sat on and you just nod.
”So I want you to get friends with them, if you do that, I will grant you my forgiveness.”
It feels like she is blackmailing you, but that is probably going to be no different with the others. If you agree, maybe she will help you, or at least give you some tips.
“I wanted to make it up to all of you, but do you think that they will become my friends? What did I even do to them exactly, I can't remember.”
”Anon dear, do you trust me?”
She doesn't appear to be the betraying kind.
“I trust you.”
Then she makes a serious expression ”Believe me, you do not want to know that. And don't ask them. This is important if you want them to forgive you. We all want to forget what happened. If you ask them about it, they may get irrationally angry.”
There is more sense in that than you'd like.
Rarity continues ”While we are at the topic, don't go to Applejack and Fluttershy dear. They are still very angry and may attack you without warning. I will talk to them, but they may just need more time.”
Don't go to Applejack and Fluttershy, noted.

“I already met Rainbow Dash and Gilda this morning, they said that it's alright and that they bear no grudges towards me. I still offered them my help with anything they want.”
The pony in front of you rolls her eyes.
”Those two. But it's a good start I guess, more important is Pinkie Pie.”
“Haven't met her yet.” you say quick.
”Of course not, she barely leaves her house at all, she is also the only one who wouldn't tell the rest of us what you did to her. Whatever you did, she didn't throw a single party since, she changed completely.”
“Parties?”
Rarity stands up and walks to you, inspecting her clothes on your body.
”Yes, she loved parties more than anything and she made everypony happy. But now she doesn't even smile herself anymore. We tried anything, but nothing worked.”
It dawns on you “And you think since it was my fault, I can get her out of her misery?”
Rarity looks out of the window and sighs sadly ”We just don't know what to do anymore, there is nothing left in our repertoire. It makes me sad just thinking about her, she was so full of life. All that is left is a pony that is an empty shell.”
You feel bad “But what makes you think I can do this?”
Rarity turns around, she looks like she will cry at any moment ”Nothing, but there is nothing left WE can do.”
A bad feeling spreads in your belly, it breaks your heart to see her like this
”I just want her to be happy again.” she's about to cry, tears gathering in her eyes already. ”Pinkie made several suicide attempts since she came back from your tower.”
Then she looks down and slumps into an armchair, tears running down her cheeks unhindered. Every other word is interrupted by a sob
”Every time she ended up in hospital.”

It is your fault...you walk to her and kneel down, she avoids eye contact. You give her a tight hug and she breaks completely in your arms, letting her tears loose.
Her chest heaves uncontrollably
”It's...all your fault! ”Why did you do all those things!? ”WHY!?”
You want to, but you suppress your own tears and ignore the stinging in your chest.
You hold her like this until her tears run dry, after she calmed down you release her. Mascara trails down her eyes and her hair is ruffled.
You comfort her cheek “Rarity, I won't disappoint you. I promise.”
A small smile forms on her sad face ”I know dear.”

You give her a peck on the forehead and take your leave. The last thing she said sounded hopeless, she doesn't deserve all this, none of them does.
You will go and meet Pinkie Pie tomorrow!
With this in mind you walk back to the library, it feels like you have been awake for 72 hours straight. The sun isn't even close to the horizon. Probably that drowning incident's fault, and that meeting with Rarity was also pretty exhausting. You make it to Twilight's house just in time, almost fell asleep in he middle of the street. You go inside and see Spike carrying a few books around. He spots you.
”Dude, you look horrible!” he drops the books and hurries over to you.
“I'm just tired a little.”
”Twilight isn't home right now, should I go look for her?”
You walk upstairs towards your bed “No, I'll just need a short nap, but thanks anyway.”
You take your clothes off and bury yourself under a blanket, sleep takes you immediately.
...
...
...
It is all your fault...
...
You wake up from a bad dream and sit up. The morning sun shines right in your face.
”Good morning Anon, awake at last?”
Twilight is in her bed and stares at you.
”You were already asleep yesterday when I came back, is everything okay?”
Yesterday...
”Spike said that you were in a bad shape, what happened?”
She probably isn't going to stop asking questions until you satisfy her curiosity.
I'll tell you over breakfast. What day is it by the way?”
”It's Sunday dummy.” she says playful
You get up and tell Twilight about what happened yesterday while eating breakfast. The part where Rarity has a break down is not mentioned, no need to spread that sadness.
But it turns out that Twilight and Redheart went to the spa yesterday to vouch for your skills, that answers some questions.
”So you want to make them forgive you and make friends with them?” the purple pony asks.
“Yes.”
”Hmm. Rarity's idea might not be that bad after all...”
She trails off
“What about you?” you ask her.
”Huh? What about me?” she points at herself with her spoon in confusion.
“You have taken me in, even tough I didn't ask for this. Yet you also suffered because of me.”
She laughs it off ”Oh Anon, I consider you a friend already. And I will help you with the others as best as I can. And I can give you your first tip already:
Rainbow may act tough, but she is still a mare inside like all of us. She probably has forgiven you on the outside, but you can probably guess what's going on inside her...she has probably conflicting feelings. I would if I were in her situation. But you should talk to her about it.”
“Okay, thanks. I'll keep that in mind. See you later?”
”If Applejack or Fluttershy cause any trouble, come back here. I'll be home all day.”
You give her a nod and take your leave. Wish you had shoes, but ponies probably don't even know what those are.

Anyway, you have a pink pony to find!
While you walk around Ponyville, you see your reflection in a window, you haven't taken a look at your clothes yet, they do look nice. Maybe you should ask Rarity for some underwear, it feels a little rough around your balls.
Then you spot a detail, there is something on your left chest. A symbol or something: Three lozenge diamonds decorate your shirt, maybe a little girlish, but whatever. You loose focus on your reflection and look inside the window, a few cakes and cupcakes are inside, looks like a confectionery. Might be worth a look.
You walk to the far side of the building, the roof looks definitely edible...
You step inside and are greeted by a pony whose hair is twirled into the form of a cup cake frosting, and her cutie mark is...surprise, three cup cakes!
”Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, take a look around, I'm sure you will find something to-”
Her speech is aborted by a deep sigh, this girl looks tired.
“Hello, I'm Anonymous, I'm looking for a mare named Pinkie Pie.”
Sadness is added to her tired look, damn, don't make this even harder.
”I know her, or I did once, she worked and lived here not so long ago. But not anymore, she is now living in a small house on the fringe of Ponyville. I can show you if you want.”
She may know more about Pinkie Pie, so you accept gladly “That would be great.”
She turns around and walks upstairs and quickly comes back with a stallion.
”I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself. This is my husband Carrot Cake.” she points to her husband, he also looks tired and depressed ”And I am Cup Cake.”
Mr. Cake takes over the counter and you follow Mrs. Cake outside. She leads, you follow.
”Please tell me you are here to snap Pinkie out of her misery, she is but a shadow of her former self.”
Mrs. Cake sounds gloomy
”Nowadays she only refers to herself by her full name, Pinkamena Diane Pie. She rarely leaves her house and if she does, she avoids everypony or ignores them. We just don't know what to do anymore, we just hope that she doesn't attempts to-”
You grab Mrs. Cake by the shoulder, she doesn't have to spell it
“It's alright, I'll bring her back to her senses.” you assure her
She gives you a warm smile, then she mutters to herself ”I wish you could.”
The rest of the walk is silent, you told them that you will get Pinkie Pie back to how she was but you are ridden by self doubt. You just hope that it's not going to be that bad.

After a few minutes of walking, you come to a somewhat shaggy looking house, it's not really big. One window is nailed shut and it looks like it was never cleaned before. A lone spider is building a web under the balcony.
You can't look inside, it's like light itself dreads this abode.
“No wonder if she lives in a house like that.” you say to yourself.
Mrs. Cake catches that ”It's not the house, believe me. It's Pinkamena. Good luck, if we can help you, just come to Sugarcube Corner.”
Then Mrs. Cake turns tail, did the house frighten her?
It sure does NOT look welcoming, rather abandoned or haunted. Let's take a look inside, see if she is really in such a bad condition.
...
You hesitate.
What if you make everything worse? It's not like you did anything good until now. And your intentions can be as noble as they get, if you don't make them happen, they are worth nothing.
You promised Rarity to get this straight, you can't falter now!
Step by step you close in on that house and stop at the door.
It's not even shut.
You think about what Rarity, Twilight and Mrs. Cake said, they probably have tried all conventional means. Risking everything by going at it unconventional seems dangerous.
You open the door with a push, it swings open slowly. It's dark, you step inside and close the door, then wait until you get used to this darkness.

It's still hard to see, and it's messy as hell from what you CAN see. At least it doesn't smell as bad as it looks, he! That would knock you unconscious on your first breath!
Everywhere is random crap, trash litters the floor, you have to be careful where to step. The first floor consists of only one room with a kitchen in the corner.
Since she isn't here, she must be upstairs. You put aside a bucket turnips with a party hat and go there. There are two rooms and a small corridor which connects them, one door leads into a bathroom.
Only one room left.
Focus.
You slowly open the door.
The bedroom.
There is a moving bundle on the bed, through a slit a pair of blue eyes are watching you. A muffled voice squeaks from under the blanket
”Did you finally come to finish the job?”
She sounds very angry.
“I came to end THIS.” you point a finger to the floor.
Pinkie Pie emerges slowly, her expression is a mix of anger and melancholy.
Fuck, what next, this is more than seriously serious!
Why don't you plan something through before you go at it you dumbass?!

You walk to her bed and sit down, it smells like old candy.
”Make it quick then.” she seems to think that you will do something to her.
You try to catch her eye, but she avoids your gaze.
You just say “No.”
She meets your eyes for a split second, that that comment annoyed her a lot.
“I remember you from the tower, just before I lost consciousness. You grabbed me and-”
She buries herself back into her pile of blankets.
”I didn't DO anything, you fainted on your own. Leave me alone.”
It doesn't really can get any worse, you can just as well ask her what you did to her.
“Pinkie, I can't remember what happened, what did I do to you at the tower?”
She suddenly breaks out of her blanket pile and shouts ”I SAID! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!”
Immediately she falls back and wraps a blanket around herself.
“Pinkie-”
She is crying.
”And stop calling me that!”
Every fiber in your body tells you to leave. Her sight is heartbreaking.
Literally!
But you ignore that, there is an important pink pony that needs your consoling, lecturing or berating...you really have no idea how to approach her.
“Okay Pinkie, I'll leave, but I will come back later.”
”Stay away, I hate you, I hope you die horribly!” she says that while that weakly hitting you with an arm that pokes out of her blanket cocoon. You stand up and leave.

Against all odds, you did manage to make everything even worse. Damn it.
This is really serious, did you just think that you can simply pet her a little and everything will be fine? That all her afflictions will be healed magically?! Now you can only pray that she isn't going to kill herself until you come back!
You leave her house with compunction.
Damn it Pinkie, don't do anything stupid.
”Depression is a serious illness, not just a mood you snap out of whenever you feel like it.”
NURSE REDHEART!
You spin around, there she is!
“What are YOU doing here?”
She rolls her eyes ”Aren't you happy to see me?”
“I'm just surprised to see you. How did you know I was here?”
She trots over to you.
”I was worried sick about you, you forgot your medication.” she says suspiciously flirty ”You don't want to get a heart attack or something do you?”
“Redheart, why are you-”
She puts a hoof on your mouth.
”Ah, ah, ah! Don't want to die because of a little mistake now, do you?”
She IS right, you really did forgot that shit and ignored a few signs the doctor told you about intentionally.
“Yeah, sorry about that, thank you for reminding me.”
This mare is still super hot...damn. She came here just for you? If it weren't for Pinkie and her unhealthy habits you would probably ask her out, but Pinkie is way too depressing at the moment.
“Listen, if you have any ideas on how I can deal with Pinkie, please don't hold anything back. I have no clue what to do.”
She circles you.
”Ah! I wanted to make you an offer that has something to do with that!”
She seems kind of weird, but she is going to help you, a nurse is just what you need!
“What offer?”
She stops in front of you ”I will aid you in any way I can, and you will spend some time with me once this is all over, when you feel better.”
This is the best offer ever!
“Deal!”
Fuck yes!
She giggles, even she is happy about it! Hell! Yes!
“Okay, what to do? I'm sure I pissed her off pretty much just a minute ago.”
”There is a easy way, or you can try it the hard way. The easy one is simple, make her fall in love with you.”
What!?
”Falling in love is a real shortcut to deal with depressions sometimes. And the hard one is, to show her how important she is for everypony. Make her feel less bad about herself, but that requires much more effort though. Which way you choose is up to you of course. But Pinkamena's depression might has deeper roots, you will find out what I mean. Ah! I need to go now, I'm supposed to be at the hospital. Don't tell anypony I was here, or I'll get in trouble. See you later.”
She gives you a grin and runs off.
That was weird. But she gave you invaluable tips! She has all the rights to be weird in your book now!
So.
For now.
Let's decide which way.
Can't just decide to make a pony you barely know fall in love with you, that would want neither of you.
Time to gather some intel!
You walk around town, getting known to the place, meet a lot of ponies and make new acquaintances. You meet Lyra Heartstrings, the minty colored, music loving earth pony that laughed at you, Big McIntosh the big, strong and red earth stallion, Rose the cute flower loving earthpony, Cranky Doodle Donkey, Minuette, Caramel, Mayor Mare, Berry Icicle, Blue Bonnet, Rivet, Lemon Daze, Twinkle Shine, Sugarberry, Sea Swirl and a drunk pony named Berry Punch.
All of them comply with each other on Pinkie's case:
She was once the happiest pony around, everypony liked her, sometimes she was annoying, but she made up for that more than enough. And she LOVED parties!

Later that Sunday.
This time you have a plan! You march to Pinkie's hovel, this has to work!
If there is even the tiniest bit of old Pinkie Pie left in Pinkamena, this will work for sure.
It has to.
You are full of confidence. For the second time today you enter her house. A little worried that she might not be here.
You walk upstairs straight for the bedroom.
“Pinkie? Are you home?”
She is still in her bed.
”What do you want?” she groans at you.
She is clearly still in a bad mood
“I won't bother you for long.”
She groans even more. You take that as a 'please continue Anon'.
“I was talking with Mayor Mare and she said that since I wanted to visit you anyway, I could also bring you this uuh...letter thing, dunno. It's yours. I'll put it on your drawer here okay? I'll take my leave then, don't want to bother you anymore. See you.”
You don't listen to her protests, but it doesn't matter anyway. You need to interest her in that letter, it's all part of your master plan.
As soon as you get out, you can only pray. Getting her to read this letter on her own is crucial, but for now, you have a shitton of other letters to write, and you are incredibly tired already! Maybe Twilight can help.
No, let's go to Rarity first!
Oh god, so tired.
Right after you're done, you will get that damn medication. You make it to Rarity's with a heavy yawn and barge in. In too much of a good mood than to care for proper manners.
“Rarity?”
You hear rumbling, a moment later she comes down the stairs
”Anon? I hope you have a reason to be such a ruffian, it is very rude to-”
You cut her off “Rarity, listen. I may have a plan that may work.”
She raises an eyebrow ”A plan?”
Come on! “Regarding Pinkie Pie.”
”Oh! Yesyesyesyes? I'm all ears!” she says with enthusiasm.
“Okay, let's sit down, this could take a while.”
And so you tell her your grand plan

...
”Wait, let me sum this up.” Rarity says ”You want to lure Pinkie under false circumstances to this party.”
You hold up one hand to stop her.
“Not just any party, this event has the sole purpose of showing Pinkie why she loved parties so much!”
Rarity crosses her arms ”But we have thrown parties for her before and it didn't work, I doubt anything will change.”
“The party itself is only important if she starts to enjoy herself on her own, at that point we already have succeeded!”
She is still doubting you, with good reasons ”If it where THAT easy, we would have done that already, your plan doesn't sound very mature.”
You expected that doubt “Of course, this is also where the numerous events you and Pinkie's other close friends will undergo with her, will come to fruition! A series of emotionally upsetting events, I haven't planned that part yet because I need your help with it...aaand because I haven't had a idea yet. But that part will heavily rely on you guys, you know her way better than I do.”
She brings a hoof to her chin and thinks for a few moments “Then we better get to work, right? Anon dear? Anon?!”
You can't hear her, because you fell asleep.
”Anon! You can't sleep here!”
You also don't see her rolling her eyes.
”Well, I'll go to Twilight's and talk to her about it. Your plan better works.”
…

...
...
”Wake up Anon dear.”
You are in a real nice bed, Silky and all. If it weren't for this nightmare, you would just sleep in.
Rarity is standing next to you.
”If you don't stand up in the next five minutes, there will be no breakfast for you.”
Now that she mentions it, there IS a delicious smell in the air.
You are still at Rarity's. As you enter the kitchen you are greeted by a delicious scent. There are pancakes and waffles.
PANCAKES AND WAFFLES!
”Twilight told me that you are starting at the spa today?”
Riiiight, you have a weird feeling regarding that place.
“My training starts today, that's right.” you answer her groggily.
You sit at the table and Rarity fills your plate to the brim, it is even more delicious than you imagined! Rarity gives you a smile, she can probably read it from your expression.
This is food for a princess!
You consider marrying her for a moment.
“This is delicious!”

Rarity clears her throat embarrassed ”I met Twilight yesterday and told her about your plan, she was...positively excited. We will meet her later today, Rainbow and Gilda will also come. We will plan any further steps together, now eat up and don't let the Spa Ponies wait.”
You give her a few more compliments for the food and do as she says.
The Ponyville Day Spa. Aloe and Lotus are happy to see you.
”Ready for your first steps?”
”Follow us.”
What a harsh greeting. They lead you to a comfy room and give you a book, it reads 'Fundamentals of the Sensual Massage Vol. I-III'.
”This will be your first step.”
”Didn't expect that?”
Looks like you have to go to school.
”Just sit anywhere and work through that book.”
”When you're done you'll get your first real lesson.”

You make yourself comfortable and start reading, the book features many illustrations and has a big font, making it is easy to understand and quick to read. By the time you're 2/3 trough with it, the Spa Ponies find you and tell you that you're done for the day.
Tomorrow again. That was barely two hours, looks like ponies go easy at it.
Seems like the easy part of the day is over, now the complicated things will start. You still have no idea how to approach Pinkie, hopefully the others know what to do. You leave the spa and think about what you just read. The book was quite interesting...
You walk around and don't take much notice on your surroundings, wondering if you could somehow get your memory back. Then something hits you in the back! You topple forwards, a Cyan arm covers your eyes, the other one closes around your neck.
You fall on your stomach.
Can't grab your assailant from that angle! But you hear Rainbow's voice
”Give it up, you have no chance against me! Ha!”
She tightens her grip a little for emphasize, but doesn't choke you.
“No way!” you answer.
Then grab her arms and try to pry her off, but she puts up a resistance. Damn, she's strong, but you are as well! You are stronger than her and shake her off, spin around but she isn't there anymore.
“What the-”
Rainbow swoops your legs away from behind while flying past you, making you land on your ass. Now that you can see her...damn she's fast! You just look at her flying a loop, upwards and then dives down right at you!This could hurt a lot but you have no time to react, she is already here!
You expect her to use you as an airbag, but you only feel the ground shake as dust is whirled up everywhere. There are two shattering impacts to the left and right of your thighs, then you see her standing on two feet right in front of you.
She almost pushes her crotch in your face. You look up to her there is a light musk in the air, but with all that dust you can hardly tell. She leans down and grins right into your face, visibly pleased with your expression. Your mouth slightly is agape and you can't really get your eyes off of her.
That was surely impressing, and she likes to impress it seems...you can tell that by her grin.
Then she breaks the silence ”What are you looking at? Come on, there is a meeting we have to attend to.”
She jumps behind you, yanks you to your feet and drags you with her. She is behind you, grabbing your chest with her arms. Her wings are producing enough force to overcome the friction of your feet on the ground. She pushes you forward while you hold your legs in a 45º angle against her.
She sure is kind of pushy. About half way to Twilight's place she starts talking
”This is a nice workout you know? Should tell Gilda about it!”
“She would probably just lift me off and drop me in a lake.” you answer bland.
She is breathing heavily down your neck.
”You know, I really appreciate that you care about Pinkie so much. Some ponies already consider her a lost cause.”
If so, you have to get her out of her depression even more “Pinkie just needs a lot of attention right now.”

The Golden Oaks Library comes into sight, Rarity just entered. You let Rainbow push you to the door...because you are lazy, that's why.
Inside are Twilight, Rarity and Gilda, a round table is set up in the middle of the room. You all sit down, Twilight is the first to speak
”Alright, now that we are here, it's time to get started. Anon, since this was your idea, do you mind filling us in on the details?”
The griffon leans on her elbow and asks ”What's this all about dweeb? I heard you want to help Pinkie?”
”Yeah, mind telling us what's going on? What's your big plan?” Rainbow and Gilda apparently don't know much about your plan.
You look at Twilight ”I only told them that you had a plan to get Pinkie back to her senses. I would also like to hear it from you. I have the feeling that Rarity missed out some parts.” she looks accusingly at Rarity.
She lifts her nose and crosses her arms ”Did not.”
This is going to take a while...

You explain your plan to them, step by step. They listen intent.
“...and when she sees the mistakes at the grand party, she will HAVE to take action. The main problem is to get her interested enough in this, since she is showing a general apathy towards everything. I need you guys to get her out on a regular basis. We have 4 weeks from now on to do this, any questions?”
You look at their faces, all thinking hard.
”What if we lose?” Gilda asks.
Losing? “This isn't about winning or losing, don't think about it like that! It's about helping her. If we don't succeed at first, we will go at it again. I don't think I have to remind any of you of what might happen if we stop.”
All of them look abashed.
“I would also appreciate it if you could get Fluttershy and Applejack to help, even if they hate me, Pinkie is a friend of theirs, I think they will oblige.”
They all agree on that audibly, after any questions are settled you leave them to their own devices, you want to check up on Pinkie, you will do that everyday from now on. Just as you leave the library, you can hear them talking about ways to get Pinkie into some action. Just as planned.
That part of your plan will be covered it seems.

Now lets get to Pinkamena, hopefully she has calmed down. Her house looks just as awful as yesterday an the door is still open. It would be troublesome if she locked it.
You slalom through her crap and into her bedroom, a part of your mind tells you that you shouldn't just barge into a girls room, but you successfully suppress your good manners.
You go inside, walk to her bed and see her acting asleep. You know because you saw one of her eyes slightly open and spying at you.
Trying to talk to her a little doesn't do anything.
Alright, if she is like that, there is no use, you'll come back tomorrow.
There is stuff to do anyway. As you leave you make a mental 'to do' list
1. Find a location for the Pinkie Party
2. Invite all of Pinkie's friends
3. Talk to Nurse Redheart for further information and flirting
4. Damn, a list that only has 3 points is not impressive at all
5. Okay, stop that shit now, you have stuff to do

You look for Mayor Mare, she will probably have something useful since she is the mayor. Arrangements are quickly made as you mention the Pinkie Plan, the party will take place in the Ponyville Town Hall, Mayor Mare is more than happy to help!
That was surprisingly easy, okay, next step is to figure out all of Pinkie's friends. You already know that this will take some time since Pinkie has a lot of friends. Probably best to consult Twilight about this.

03 - Elskhuga

You head to the library, outside you can hear voices you recognize but can't remember by whom. Anyway, you go inside, close the door behind you and-
Twilight looks like someone just stabbed her, she looks at you with wide eyes and gritted teeth. Is something wrong? You look around for clues: Gilda sits on a bookshelf and chuckles at you, Rarity just rolls her eyes, must be her favorite expression...Rainbow is on the second floor and then you see why they are so weird.
Applejack!
Fluttershy!
“Applejack! Fluttershy!” you spout out surprised, bou already considered the scenario of bumping into them in the back of your head, and you got one conclusion out of it.
Don't hesitate!
Although you didn't expect to meet them both at once...you stride towards them, your intention set: You will apologize so hard, they will forgive the shit out of you!
Surprisingly they don't look angry at all, rather annoyed by your presence. You stop in front of Applejack and inhale, ready to unleash your fury of apologizeness!
She bumps a hoof harshly on your chest and says ”Save ya breath pardner, Flutters 'n me are here f'Pinkie, not t'deal with your crap. And dont'cha dare run off, ah wanna have a serious talk with ya afterward!” her eyes are only half open and she looks tired, but that she means it is more than apparent.
If that wouldn't have sounded so familiar you would be very surprised, you anticipated more hostility, but maybe that comes later? You have a good feeling about this nonetheless.

For now you take care of the invitation stuff, Twilight produces a list quickly.
”Those are only a few of her friends.” she says “I'll write the rest down later. The others have to help me with the complete list, are you sure about this?” she smirks as she asks you that, then places you on a desk on the far side of the room, gives you paper and quill and you start to formulate the invitation.
That shit is real hard and you are tired as hell already, but you eventually manage to get it done. Not as good as you'd hoped, but good enough. Now you can finally work on the bulk of invitation letters.
First, second, third, …, twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, …, thirty-forth...
You fight with staying awake, the girls have long ceased with completing the list and are discussing things regarding their pink friend.

Twilight brings you a new list.
”I consulted the others and we got a huge list, are you sure you want ALL of Pinkie's friends? It doesn't stay in Ponyville you know, she has a lot of friends in Apple Loosa, Dodge City, Cloudsdale and even a few in Baltimare, Los Pegasus and Manehatten.” she is doubting you, you can hear it!
The list is at least ten times larger than the one you are working on at at the moment, and you're only about halfway done.
God damn it Pinkie Pie, why?!
You rub your eyes and let out a yawn, you've written the letters with your head resting on the table since letter Nr. 30. Just laying down on the desk completely and falling asleep on the spot seems tempting...
”You don't look too good Anon, maybe you should lie down and take a nap?” Twilight suggests.
No way, you have work to do! “Thanks for your concern, but the letters won't write themselves. Can't you just...magically create the letters? Like...with your magic?”
Twilight tries to suppress her laughter ”Ohohoho, Anon. I know what magic must look like to you, but it doesn't work like that. You don't have to do it all by yourself though, all you have to do is ask.”
You'd really like to do it yourself, but she has a point, this would take years to accomplish on your own.

You stand up and face the group of ponies (and a griffon!). They probably expected this since you have their attention immediately and huge, not so innocent grins are plastered on the faces of most of them.
You rub your the back of your neck, this feels really uncomfortable “I need help with this guys, I can't do this all on my own, sorry.”
Applejack crosses her arms and says with closed eyes ”Ha, took a bite too big for ya to chew pardner? It's okay, jus' bring that stuff over here.”
Applejack gestures you to bring the paperwork to the big table.
”Yes...uhmmm...we'd like to help.”
Even Fluttershy...you thought they hated you for real, but maybe you just don't understand ponies? You don't look a gift horse in the mouth and bring the stuff to them, thankful for their cooperativeness. Better not try their patience with stupid questions.
Rarity takes a look at one of the letters ”Oh Anon DEAR! You really could have formulated this a little more elegant. I don't suppose you have a problem with it if I rewrite your text a little?” she makes a face you can't deny a request.
“Of course not, I'd actually like that. Already thought about asking you.”

With six times more writing power, the work is quickly done. Twilight actually DOES use her magic to write the letters, but only one by one and she constantly consoles Applejack for her bad grammar. Fluttershy is watching you all the time, but every time you look at her to read her face she averts her gaze and acts like she didn't do anything. Gilda gets almost beaten up by Rarity for her unreadable writing! And Rainbow Dash makes it a competition and writes more than twice as much as every single one of the others!

“Gilda! Not like that! No! No! No!” Rarity is in despair “An 'O' has no nooks! And don't change the size of the letters all the time!”
The griffon looks VERY annoyed “I'm trying! Stop pushing me.”
While the non-unicorn ponies use their mouths dexteriously to hold the pens, Gilda is holding hers like a knife, like she wants to stab the paper.
You can't watch this anymore “Gilda, hold the pen like this.” you show her how you hold the pen.
She looks you sharp in the eyes, then at your grip. Grudgingly she imitates your style, it doesn't help that much, but after a few letters you can notice that Rarity isn't correcting her ALL of the time anymore.

You wonder where Spike is at, bet he had a good idea about all this...all in all it's pretty fun and somehow you manage to stay awake as well. But you're at your limit.
The others noticed that also when you fall asleep face first on the table. You wake up a few moments later, shocked at your lack of self-control.
Can't sleep now!
There are letters to write!
They will think that you've let them down! That you can't even write a few letters! You grab for a pen and-
Where's the damn pen? Where's the damn table?
Then you notice that it's far too late and calm down in disappointment of yourself. It's the next morning already and you are lying in your bed. Naked. Damn...

Over the course of breakfast, Twilight tells you what happened. In short:
You fell asleep, everyone laughed at you and work was done almost immediately afterward. Twilight hovered you into bed...you don't dare to ask who put you out of your clothes, it's embarrassing enough as it is.
No time to indulge in things that don't matter anyway, there is a spa waiting for you.
Maybe getting to late for the job triggers their evil pony side.
Yeah, right...what bullshit. The Spa Ponies are enthusiastic like always, sometimes you wonder if they even can harbor negative emotions at all, but then you remind yourself of the tower and Pinkie...

You read the rest of the book, Vol. III focuses mainly on...happy...endings.
...
What the fuck?!
...
Come on, it's just a book! Just read it and weep!
You do as your brain commands. It IS actually pretty interesting.
See? I was right after all.
Okay, now shut up and let me read it.
When you're done you tell the Spa Ponies so, they are positively surprised at your fast progress and tell you that that's it for the day. Tomorrow, your first hands-on training takes place. Can't deny that you are looking forward to it.

What now? Oh, yes, there will be a huge amount of guests at the party, time to make arrangements!

Mr. & Mrs. Cake at Sugarcube Conrner are thrilled with your idea. They like Pinkie a lot, and so they will provide Cakes and Cupcakes for the party. Even though it is a huge order, they deny payment.
”For Pinkie” they say.
Heh, they're alright people. (You have no money anyway)
Next is...you have no idea, but you can't run a giant party on just Cakes and Cupcakes, that much you know. Maybe Twilight can help. Like usual.

You look for her at the library: Not here.
You look for her at the boutique: Not here.
You look for her everywhere: Not here.
The other girls are also kinda missing, which means...
To the creepiest abode it is then, Pinkie is missing. Pinkie rehab: Initiated!
Success!

Now you have some spare time, probably a good idea to talk with Redheart for further information and possible plans for growing old together. You still need to thank her properly, without her advise you still wouldn't know what to do. Just thinking about her is giving you a warm feeling, the sooner you meet her the better.
You move your ass to the hospital, the best place to start searching for her since you have no idea where she is. Nurse Tenderheart tells you where she lives, she isn't working right now.
Hell yeah! This is going to be awesome!
You run to her place, a casual house in the middle of Ponyville. This isn't worthy of her, she should live in a palace, maybe you can convince Celestia to let her move in and make her royalty!
One step at a time.
For now you stand at her door, oh god, should you really do this? What if her boyfriend opens the door half naked and smelling like sex? OH FUCK, what if she HAS a boyfriend?! Or what if you propose to her and she declines?! Because you are not a pony!
Stop it!
Stop!
Staaahhp!
Stop talking yourself into bullshit that you can't possibly know! Just knock already you chicken! Oh fuck it, what are you afraid of huh? Move your knuckles against this fucking door already!
”What are you doing Anon?” Nurse Redheart? You hear her voice, where is-
You look around almost in panic.
”Up here Anon, I'm up here.” she looks out of a window from the second floor ”You look like something is troubling you, why don't you come in?”
She vanishes inside.
Damn, was she watching you? She saw you freaking out! It's over man, Game Over. What if she is going to make fun of you?
Okay, enough is enough! If you keep this crap up, I'm going to tell Penis to go away, permanently! Then you can be certain that Redheart doesn't want you!
Okay Okay, no need to bring out the big guns...stupid brain.
What was that?!
Nothing.

You can't continue to argue with yourself, Redheart opens the door and gestures you to come in. She isn't wearing her nurse's hat and her hair falls freely over her shoulders. She looks fabulous.
”Come in already, what are you waiting for?”
“Oh, yeah, I was just uh...thinking.”
You enter, it looks bright and clean, actually, it IS. Unlike Pinkies place.
That's right, Pinkie! “I wanted to thank you for your help the other day.”
She sits down on her couch and pats the place next to her and you sit down.
Redheart's brows furrow in confusion ”What exactly do you mean?”
“Uh, when you waited for me outside of Pinkie's house and gave me some tips on how to deal with her depression.”
She looks even more confused ”When was that?”
Is she teasing you?
“Two days ago, around noon I think. You told me that you had to be at the hospital actually and hurried off afterward.”
She clenches her eyes shut tight in thought, then tells you ”No...I was at the hospital all day and didn't leave for a second, are you really sure it was me? Maybe it was a pony that just looked similar? Or somepony played a prank?”
No way, that was her! “You even reminded me of my medication, I'm absolutely sure.”
Damn it, you wanted to get a little flirty with her, but this has taken an entirely different course.
”Maybe there was...“ your favorite nurse leans back and thinks heavily for quite some time.
“Redheart?”
”Hmm, I'll have to talk to Twilight later...” she says to herself “Don't worry about it and please don't mention this to anypony else. It could lead to misunderstandings. Is there something else I can help you with?”
Bet she thinks you're crazy now, you feel stupid, was that just your imagination? They DID fuck with your mind...you want to run away and hide.
“I only wanted to talk with you about Pinkie Pie, but now...“ you are a terrible liar, invite her to dinner or something!
”What is going with Pinkie, she didn't try anything stupid again did she?!”
You shake your head “No, I think we can help her...”

And so you are stuck with telling her your plan, you are getting better at that every time you have to do it. Or maybe it's because she works in a hospital and treated Pinkie before.
You also tell her about your mutual meeting in front of Pinkie's in detail and that this was the trigger that started your plan. Anyway she quickly grasps your concept and approves.
”That could actually work Anon, I'll mention this to Dr. Whooves, maybe he has some useful advice.”
“Uh, okay. Thanks...I'll...take my leave then...“
At this point you don't know what to say anymore, the mood is serious and doesn't leave much space for other stuff. Before it goes completely awkward you just leave.
”Anon? Something troubles you, you've been so stiffened up the entire time now. What's on your mind?” she catches you before you have left.
Damn, almost made it to the door, you don't want to tell her, she'll only push you away.
Wait, you don't HAVE to tell her! “Can we talk about it later? It's kind of...”
”Complicated?”
You nod sheepishly.
”Well okay then, see you later Anon.”
You wave her goodbye and leave for real this time. That felt like a huge defeat and was less constructive than you had hoped...in terms of romance at least.
The only thing you got out of this is the doubt on your own sanity, Well, they DID fuck with your mind before. Twilight did, to be precise.
Okay, stop thinking about that for now, divert attention!

Walking around town aimlessly is the only thing you can bring yourself to now...your crush must think you're nuts.
Fuck!
You enter the town square and sit down on a bench near the well. From here you can see the Day Spa with it's distinctive two pointed and very girlish looking roof, can't believe you're going to work THERE. Next to the spa is a building with hair on top of it, why didn't you notice that freak of a building before? It's probably a barber shop, or they sell wigs or something like...that or both. Hell like you care.
The Town Hall where the party will take place stands majestic in the middle of the town square, ow that you look at it, and think about the huge number of guests that will come...
The party will probably expand over the entire town square and beyond. This is going to take a bit of work. On the far side of the Town Hall you can see parts of the Market Place, stalls are strewn all over the place.

A few moments later you are walking through the market, they really have a lot of food here. Apparently flowers are not only for decoration for ponies...
You walk by a stall that sells fruits for insane prices, but otherwise there is nothing interesting here.
It's not like you expected that anyway. After some time you exit the market place and stroll around town, you come to a place you haven't been before.

Something feels uncomfortable. The few ponies in the area leave casually. No one in sight. A feeling of vulnerability overtakes you, like someone is watching you. You look around, then you spot her.
Gilda is watching you from a huge aerie, with a roof and all. She looks relaxed, but her eyes are never leaving you, it creeps you out...
Maybe if you act like you didn't spot her you can just walk away, it's not like you have to talk with her.
No way, that would be super rude! Ignoring her because of a bad feeling, you are not an asshole!
Her eyes never leave you as you walk towards her nest thing. It doesn't look like you could get in there without wings.
“Hey Gilda, everything's alright?” you wave up to her, but she only watches silently.
“Is this where you live? It looks...uh...cool.”
Her aerie is built on top of another house, replacing the attic completely. It doesn't seem like she is living there, but what do you know?
As you walk closer she has to shuffle herself to the edge of her nest to keep a watch on you. Why is she doing that?
Creeped out level: Maximum.
“Gilda?” you ask, why is she not answering?
She narrows her eyes and a sly grin forms on her face, just barely visible.
Alright, two can play this game! You turn around and shrug, walking away all the while. You can hear her stir audibly in her nest. Time to tease her for a change!
“I thought you were a-”
SWOOSH

You spin around and look for what she is doing as you hear a low gust of air. With a single flap of her wings she catapults herself from her aerie and right in front of you.
She doesn't furl her wings completely, It actually looks like she is throwing a pose for you. Either way she wants to intimidate you or...you can't really think of anything else. In any case, you will stand up to her, you prepare yourself for anything!
Looking her straight into her golden eyes, she starts stalking you. What were you about to say? Doesn't matter anymore. The griffon is now circling you, looking for weak spots in your defense. You only follow her movement with your head so she will find a lot. The last time she did that, you ended up as a bloody heap of barely breathing flesh....
“Whatever you are going to do, I don't think this is the right place.”
”Of course not Anonymous.” the fact that she used your name for the first time is unnerving, what is she up to?!

You can't think much further though, as you turn your head to the other side, trying to follow her movement, she pushes you from your blind spot into an alleyway. Only one question strikes your mind: Is she going to beat you up? If so you are fucked!
“Gilda stop, don't do something you will reg-Oofh”
She pushes you up against a wall harshly and pins you there with her talons. One of them holds down your arm, the other one is placed over your mouth, holding your head in place harshly. Her huge wings block out the outside world mostly as she unfurls them entirely.
Her expression looks threatening, her brows furrowed and that grin would make a lesser man cry.
It feels like you are back at the tower. Helpless and at her mercy, no one is coming to help you, passerby will only see a ball of wings. You are terrified and try to struggle but her grip is too strong and she pushes all of her weight against you.
Slowly her head comes closer to yours, she doesn't even have to put much of an effort into keeping you where she wants. Then her head rests next to yours, she bends your head to the side painfully and you can feel her breath on your neck.
What is she up to?!

Your protests are muffled my her talon. A moment later you can feel the outline of her beak on the base of your neck, her tongue rolls over your skin and even tickles a bit. You pray that this is just a weird kiss but your hopes are shattered when she bites down, hard.
You tense all the muscles you can, but her beak is sharp like a knife and easily cuts into your flesh, blood flows freely out of the fresh wound. It burns and hurts, you want to hit her with your free hand, push her off! But then fear overcomes you, it didn't work at the tower, it won't work now. The hooked tip of her beak buries deep into your flesh, then she stops.
Your heart is beating at an painful rate as Gilda retracts her beak.
She could have easily ripped out a chunk of flesh if she wanted, and you become even more confused as she start to lap up the blood that surges out of you.
Are you just a snack for her?!

Your body fails you in any attempt to escape, you can only endure her treatment. It goes on for what feels like an eternity, the wound eventually ceases bleeding. Gilda looks into your eyes but you look down, not wanting to provoke her any further with a stupid stare.
She lets out a joyful laugh and releases you after a few minutes of this, you slide down the wall and sit on your ass as Gilda leaves the alley.
What the hell was that all about? She is a dangerous one, that's for sure.
Your wound burns, you should go see a doctor...but they will ask questions. If you rat that griffon out, either way nobody will believe you or...
You don't dare to even think this thought to the end.

You keep an eye to the sky as you walk back to Twilight's place, only Spike is there
“Hey man, Twilight told me that you wrote a bunch of letters yesterday.” the little dragon raises an eyebrow “Why didn't you use the press at the school?”
…
You suppress the urge to slap him, yourself and everyone else.
The wounds are treated more or less properly and you try to relax for a bit, but a scar will stay behind for sure. In the future you will avoid that part of Ponyville. Maybe you kind of...trespassed into her territory? You can only guess what drives this griffon, but that seems unlikely.
Twilight eventually comes back, very exhausted.
“Twilight, what happened?” you ask her.
She drops her saddlebag and places herself with a deep sigh on her couch
”Urgh, you don't want to know.” she says tired.
Spike hands you a glass of water “Give her this.” he whispers.
You hand her the cool liquid and she gulps it down thankfully.
You take a wild guess “Pinkie Pie?”
”Yes.” she spurts out when the glass is empty “Just give me a moment please. And another glass please, she may be different when depressed, but she has just as much energy.”
As you bring her another drink the door springs open, Applejack walks in
”Hey Twilight! Is Anon-” she spots you ”Aha! Jus' who ah was lookin' for!”
Suddenly the tan mare whips out a lasso and throws it around your waist.
”You don' mind do ya Twilight?”
Purple smart answers with a lazy groan, Applejack takes that as a yes and pulls you outside.

”So...” she gestures you to follow and you both start walking ”...yer can't remember a thing, 'at right?”
You just nod.
”Twilight told me all about it, but ah wanted t'be sure!”
She stops, takes your head between her hooves and looks you dead in the eyes ”Answer me, an' answer me honestly or ah can't guarantee for what ah'm goin' t'do to yer else!” her expression is grim and you can feel that she means it. She even leans her weight on you.
”You cannot, absolutely not remember a damn thing before Twilight bucked with yer mind?!” Applejack's eyes narrow and she frowns a little, but you have nothing to hide from her.
“I swear, I can't remember. Even though I still have nightmares, I feel bad about myself and I think just because I can't remember, doesn't render me an innocent soul!”, you explain stern.
She looks at you for a while, like she is reading a book. Eventually she releases you.
”Hmpfh, looks like ye're tellin' the truth. Ahm sorry, but ah still had mah doubts.”
She just walks off after saying that, but you follow her. Maybe you can talk to her for a bit and show her there is nothing to be worried about?
You pick up the conversation “You had all rights to distrust me, I'm the one who should be apologizing.”
She looks into the distance ”Ah dunno, a lot has happened and it hurds like hay t'see Pinky still stuck up in all that.”
“We'll get her out of that pinch, it will just take some time and effort. By the way, what happened today? I was at her house but she was gone.”
The tan mare smiles as she recollects the day in her mind.
She makes various expressions before suddenly breaking the short silence ”Yeeehaaw! That was great, we gathered up an' took Pinky out for an fairground that's curr'ntly in Apple Loosa!”

She tells you all about what happened, Pinky of course didn't want to come along at first, but once they dragged her there and she rode the first huge rollercoaster she enjoyed herself quite a bit. She wasn't her old self by far, but she made the first step towards that. By the time Applejack is done explaining all the delicious apple treats she tasted you both arrive at Sweet Apple Acres.
”Hey Anon” she turns around as she is about to leave you behind on the fringes of the Apple property “Yer wanted t'help us for your...retrition something right? Ah have just the right thing yer could help me with, int'rested?”
You nod like you never did before “Of course!”
”Well then, follow me.” she almost sings that.
Applejack gestures you to follow and you walk past the main house, a red barn with a huge stallion in front of the entrance comes into view.
Applejack introduces you ”Anon, this is ma big brother Big McIntosh, Big Mac, that's Anonymous. He agreed ta help me with ta apple sortin'.”
You extend a hand and somehow he grabs it and shakes it like a madman.
“Hello Big Mac.” then you turn to Applejack and whisper “We already met.”
She just gives you an satisfied “All the better.” and vanishes in the barn.
Big McIntosh finally releases you from the forceful handshake with an ”Eeeyup.” just as Applejack calls for you from inside the barn, you make a mental note to never get on the bad side of the big red one.
When Applejack could kill you with a single buck, you don't want to know what this mountain of a stallion can do to you.

You enter the barn.
Apples.
Apples everywhere.
”Alright sugarcube, we have t'sort out all the bad apples. Applebuck season is over now an' this is the las' batch o' apples, behind the barn are more so we better get startin'.”
You get to it immediately. The good ones into the barrels, the bad ones into a tub, they will later be used to fertilize the ground you are told.
Applejack proves to be enjoyable company as you chat about this and that, every time a barrel full of good apples is filled you carry it into the cellar of the apples residence.
The cellar is huge, with thick walls of cold stone and many rooms. It reminds you of a labyrinth, only that this is way too small to get lost. After Applejack and you are halfway done, an elderly mare, called Granny Smith, calls for Applejack, which in turn invites you to eat with the Apple Family.
Happy that she doesn't treat you like you deserve, you accept.

There are numerous members of the Apple Family present to which you get introduced, Some of them you already met, some others not so much.
All of you are seated at a big table outside, you feel like a complete outsider. Not only are you a completely different species which alone makes you stand out, but they are all family, making you feel isolated.
Applejack notices your discomfort, she brings up one of her many relatives called Apple Fritter and literally pushes her into you. After an awkward first greeting and a brief awkward silence you start a conversation. Turns out she is VERY talkative, dominating the conversation without mercy.
Applejack...she knew what she just did, Apple Fritter bombards you with whatever comes into her mind, topics you couldn't even think about talking about.
You glare over to Applejack and she gives you the innocent act, intentionally bad.
At least you don't look like a lone idiot anymore thanks to her and luckily the food comes shortly after.
It's a feast!
Until now, you never knew how many different dishes one could make out of apples, it's astounding. A huge amount of food is presented before you. Apple Fritter wastes no time and fills your plate with a little of everything, wanting you to taste it all.
Your plate has never been this full, there is just so much! And after just a few bites you are sure, this is heaven.
You dig in like an animal, this time you don't stand out at all. Most of the others don't really care for proper manners either. It's just so delicious!
Every time your plate becomes close to empty, Apple Fritter finds something new for you. And it doesn't stop. After an considerable amount of time you are full, and there is one thing now that you are sure about, there is no doubt: This family may be full of apple fetishists, but they know their handiwork to perfection.
Damn you even consider marrying Apple Fritter, just to get to participate in these food orgies once more. Though you had to surgically remove your eardrums then, she doesn't even really stop talking while eating.

After the food orgy is over Apple Fritter gives you a tight hug and takes her leave, Applejack sits herself next to you. Your eyes wander over the table.
It's a battlefield.
No one was spared.
Especially not the apples.
Applejack gives you a smug grin and you give her a piece of your mind “Applejack...that was...the best.”
You are so full, it feels like you're about to burst. There was just too much delicious.
”I'll pass yer praise to the ones...responsible pardner.”
Sounds like Applejack was also a major victim of this battle.
”Ya know, if yer want...ah can sord the rest of the apples on mah own...you can go back to-”
You move a hand in Applejacks direction without looking, gesturing her to shut up “Oh don't you even finish that sentence Applejack...there is no way I could abandon you...now...uuuhh. But maybe...we should-”
”Take a little nap...before goin' on?” she completes your sentence.
She is not only a lie detector, but also a mind reader now.
“Ya.” is all you can say.
She stands up ”Okay, follow me...if yer dare t'walk. Ah know just the spot for a nice little nap.”

You really did eat way too much, but you regret nothing. Applejack leads you to a hill on the farm with a single apple tree on top of it. Both of you lie against the trunk and enjoy the view, the entire Sweet Apple Acres are visible from here.
There are not only Apple trees, but also a few gardens for other fruits and vegetables. The entire Ponyville settlement is laid out before you. It's almost...romantic. If there would be a golden-orange sunset at the horizon, it would be for sure.
”Ya know Anon, ya really arn't that bad of a fella. Maybe when we get Pinky back to her senses, we can throw a little welcoming party just for yer.”
Party...
Party!!!
“Now that you're talking about a party, can you give me some tips on how to throw the party for Pinky. Until now I only have the location and the support of the Cakes, I mean I can't throw the party with just a few Cakes. Especially not such a big one.”
Applejack nods in agreement ”Ah know what yer mean, there are hundreds of guests invited. Ah'm sure ah can donate some Apple Cider, Pinkie jus' loves that stuff.”
“Apple Cider? That would be great Applejack, thanks a lot, but I fear I don't have much money right now.”
”Yer need t'listen t'what ah say sugarcube, ah said donate, not sell. Ah know that ye're outta money. But yer can help makin' it. Jus' come by whenever yer have some time an' we can get to it.”
Applejack elicits a long yawn, she drops her stetson over her face and soon starts snoring. You guess a little shut eye can't hurt and follow her example.

A dreamless nap envelops you, but you wake up with a bad feeling.Damn that's starting to get bothersome.
The sun didn't wander that far, Applejack decided at some point that your stomach is more comfortable than the tree and her head heaves with every breath of yours.
You don't wake her, she is way too cute for that right now. With her snoring, her wide open mouth and drool...
Her stetson lies at her side, not covering her from the sun, she will wake up in due time you guess. You place a hand on her belly, she feels soft to the touch and warm, her silky coat feels fantastic.
Her belly just HAS to be rubbed right now. Moving your fingers slightly, you move your hand in a small circular motion, gently giving her what she deserves for being adorable.
Applejack lets out a pleased sigh, damn, if she continues being like that...
Your attention is drawn to her freckles as you give her a gentle belly rub.
God those freckles.
You love freckles.
Freckles freckles freckles.
Okay, that's enough freckles for now. Her cutie mark is next, but you can't see it perfectly from this angle. You reach down and lift her flank a little.
There it is.
Three red apples. Heh, fitting.
A slight movement catches your eye, you look at her face.
!!!
Her eyes are wide open and she is staring at you with the blankest expression possible, except for a slight blush.
You look at your hand...on her flank, your fingertips go around the roundings of her cheeks to what you assume are private body parts.
Now you look back to her.
Now back to your hand.
“I-I-I'msosorryIjustwantedtotakealookatyourcutiemarkandI...”
You take your hand away from her ass, oh shit, what have you done!?
She gives you a chance to help her, she invites you to a feast you don't deserve. And then you fondle her in her sleep!?
Greeeeeeeaaaat, you fucked up big time. You look away, ashamed of yourself and your stupidity.
“Sorry, I wasn't thinking and...”
Applejack stands up, still expressionless. She thinks for a moment, then speaks ”Ah'll forgive yer...if ah can see yers.”
What? She knows you have none! “But I have no cutie mark.”
The tan mare picks up her stetson and places it where it belongs ”Show.” she demands, arms crossed.
You just hope that you didn't ruin all your efforts. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
“Are you sure?”
She taps her hoof on the ground with impatience, looks like she isn't in the mood for bargaining.
“Okay, if you insist. But don't change your mind if you are disappointed.”

You stand up and turn your back to her. If you were a girl this would be super embarrassing to the sun and beyond. The buttons are opened quickly and your pants slide down little, exposing your butt cheeks only.
Then she comes closer and inspects...okay, it IS super embarrassing!
”Hmmm...what in tarnation...ah can't see with yer pants in the way!”
She grabs them at knee height and gives a strong pull, you weren't expecting that and she gets down completely.
“Applejack! What the hell are you doing?!”
She looks determined, like she wants to win a race. YOU just want to pull your pants back up, but bending down would expose you in a way that's out of the question.
You can just cover your junk.
”Ah never understood why the hay ye're wearing clothes all the time anyway. Now turn that way, maybe ah can see it in the sunlight.”
This is so embarrassing, why is she doing that? Oh yeah, you fondled her in her sleep douchebag!
She grabs you by the hips and turns your ass towards the sun and mumbles ”Hmmm, still nothing. Maybe if ah rub a little.”
She places her hooves on your cheeks and starts rubbing wildly, it takes you by surprise.
You have to stop this “Argh! Applejack! Enough already!”
Turning to your side so you don't press your asshole in her face, you pull up your pants, putting a few steps between the two of you while working on the buttons.
“Applejack! That was not okay!”
She tries to suppress a face splitting grin, then twists her eyes at the sky in an innocent act.
”Uh, well...ah...ah...uh...ah was just examining...uh...maybe it would have appeared when yer...uh get rubbed a little! Yep! A getting rubbed...uh...cutie mark!”
Is she serious?!

You just look at her, now she's drawing circles in the dirt.
“Your element betrays you Applejack...but I'll let it slide, since it was my fault to begin with.” you say, hoping that this topic will be forgotten quickly.
”Uh...yeah!...ah mean...sorry!”
She is obviously not sorry, but whatever, you shake your head and gesture her to follow.
“Okay, let's just don't talk about it again. Come on, there are still apples waiting for us.”
Together you walk back to the barn, Applejack still sports a light blush. Oh god, what have you started?! Hopefully she'll just forget all about it.
Just as you're about to enter the barn she says ”Yer know what? Ah'll go get us some reinforcements.”
Obviously embarrassed about what happened, she dashes to the house. Meanwhile you walk into the barn, after five minutes of lone apple sorting, Applejack comes back with Applebloom in tow. Together you get to work.
That was a smart move of Applejack, because the awkwardness between the two of you has reached untouched heights. Applebloom seems to be oblivious to that fact and talks nonstop. At some point you ask her if she had something to do with the painting incident at the Ponyville Schoolhouse.
You saw her.
After a short moment of silence and an priceless expression on her side, the ice finally breaks and you and Applejack share a hearty laugh at her cost. There is no one that doesn't know about that incident.
It feels like everything is back in order between Applejack and you and the work almost finishes on its own.
Applejack sees you off at the fence of the Apple Family property and soon you're on your way back to Ponyville.

You still wanted to visit Pinkie, but maybe you should give her some room.
You are just lazy!
Shut up.
Twilight is at the library and you tell her about what happened. Except that fondling stuff. No one needs to know about that, ever.
Twilight tells you about her experience with the Apple Family Food Orgies™.
You fall asleep soon after Twilight's gibberish. Again you are troubled by nightmares. And you feel that the next morning. Every muscle in your body aches.
Twilight thinks otherwise ”You know, yesterday you worked hard for the first time in a few months. Remember? You were hospitalized for quite some time.”
Makes sense.
Twilight is smart pony!
“Twilight, you're a genius.”you say nonchalantly
She looks at you, grinning sheepishly, maybe she knows something about Gilda's behavior?
But don't give her any ideas!
“Do you, by any chance, know what it means, if a griffon bites you?”
Twilight has a answer for everything “Well, obviously you made the griffon angry then.”
“Very funny Twilight, no. I mean a not angry bite, with weird behavior afterward and stuff.”
She momentarily raises an eyebrow and broods, eyeballing you seriously ”Gilda has bitten you!?” what?! How can she see through you in an instant?!
“No! I mean...maybe?”
She narrows her eyes and tilts her head a little ”Where did she bite you? Did it leave a mark? What did she do afterward?”
This is getting uncomfortable, and it's so early in the morning. You don't want them to know that Gilda has bitten you before you are sure it's safe.
“Can we talk about it later? I think I have to go to the spa now and...uh...massage some ponies...and...stuff.”
She turns back to her book ”Fine, but you better not come back and blame me if something bad happens later.” she sounds irritated.
“Okay Twilight the wise, we'll talk later.”

With a final smirk of hers you wave her goodbye and finally make your way to the spa. Always an eye to the skies. Never know what griffon comes swooping down on you.
But no assaults were made that day.
At the spa is a pleasant surprise waiting for you. Lotus Blossom and Aloe (still don't know which one is which) want to give you a massage first! In order to show you how it's done properly of course.
Perfect timing after your hard work yesterday!
The massage turns out to be heavenly, they both work on you at the same time, kneading out the knots in your muscles efficiently. All the while they explain how to and why and give tips.
After it is over you feel refreshed and better than you ever did before.
”And now it's your turn.”
”We have asked a pony that appreciates a good massage.”
”She should come any moment now.”
Who might that mystery pony be? Until she comes the Spa Ponies give you further tips and instruction on how to massage, then she finally makes her entrance.
It is!
“Rarity!” of course.
”Ah! Hello Anon, when I heard you were going to have your first massage session, I volunteered to be your first subject of course. If you will be working here, it is better to help you become a proper masseur from the start. AND I can teach you my preferences properly while we are at it.”
She smiles and walks towards one of the massaging tables, stops in front of one and looks expectantly at you.
She is a lady dumbass!
You hurry to her and help her on the table, it's more a gesture really.
”Ah! I just knew there is a gentleman inside you Anon, now lets work on your technique. And be gentle, you don't want to hurt me? Now do you?”
She blinks at you rapidly. Something doesn't feel right, but you get to it anyway.
Rarity audibly enjoys it, telling you how to do it better when you make a mistake or neglect her favorite spots. Aloe and Lotus Blossom aren't even needed and leave the two of you alone. Rarity is a pro at this!
”Anon, can it be that you have forgotten your medicine again?”
Whaaaaat?
How does Rarity know about your medication? Wait! She's right!
“Yeah, sorry. But how do you know about my medication?”
”Ah, ah, ah! Anon, please take this seriously. You could get a serious heart disease! Not good for your health!” she scolds you.
She just ignores your question and berates you a little more. Probably unimportant anyway, by the time your last doubts are gone she has berated you into submission.
“Alright, you ARE right. I'll go get it right after I'm done here.”
”Good, I'll keep an eye on you. Don't want to make any 'fatal' mistakes, now do you?”
You massage her until she calls it quits, she murmurs something about someone already coming, then she leaves hastily without a second word.
You run to the door after her, to at least say a goodbye but she is nowhere to be seen.
What the hell?! Did she cast an invisibility spell?
She IS a unicorn after all. Whatever. You will probably never understand ponies.

You go back inside and tidy up a little, then Rarity comes back.
She walks nonchalantly up to you ”Hello Anon, when I heard you were going to have your first massage session, I volunteered to be your first subject of course. If you will be working here, it is better to help you become a proper masseur from the start. AND I can teach you my preferences properly while we are at it.”
W-What?
Is Rarity making fun of you?! Or is your mind playing tricks on you again?!
...
You decide to say nothing for now. It is bad enough that you are apparently insane, there is no need for every one to know about it. At least you know what to do with her now! Ha!
This time though, Rarity is wearing a luxurious bathrobe with an artfully 'R' sewn onto each flank. When she stops in front of the massaging table you undress her and help her up.
”I just knew there is a gentlemen inside you Anon, now lets work on your technique. And be gentle, you don't want to hurt me?”
This is ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Maybe it's a secret super power! Yeah! Awesome Delusion Man to the rescue! Or to the massage in this case.
This time tough, Rarity gives you different instructions on what she likes! Maybe you have to train your powers some more...well, no one is born a master. While the first Rarity was more fixated on her side and belly, this Rarity likes it more on her lower back and haunches.
Applejack was quite delicate when you touched her there. Oh stop! You wanted to forget that!

You just nope everything weird out, it doesn't even make sense.
You suppress any thoughts about what just happened and idly chat with Rarity about this and that. She comes up with an idea for the party:
“Games! And costumes!” she almost shouts.
You thank her for her tips, but she apparently had some ulterior motives since she is a fashion designer. She says that she will take care of the costume part...suspicious...
Anyway, she has a point, you will give it some thought.
After some time the Spa Ponies check up on you and Rarity, some final advice is given and the session is over.
The marshmallow pony seems disappointed that it was too brief but the Spa Ponies console her about her always wanting more.
You shrug it off and go your ways, but can't shake the feeling that you forgot something. Wasn't that important anyway probably, it's time to check up on Pinkie!
The weather is becoming colder.
After a griffon free walk through Ponyville you arrive. The Pinkie house is open like always.

You step inside, maybe you can get Pinkies permission to do a little cleaning here and there. Someone is talking upstairs, and it's a well known accent.
”...so there'll be plenty of Apple Cider for yer t'drink Pinky.”
Did Applejack just...
You hurry upstairs and barge into Pinkies room, Applejack and Pinkamena are sitting on the bed.
You poke your head into the room, narrow your eyes and tilt your head “Applejack...did you just reveal something to Pinkie that wasn't supposed to be revealed?”
Pinkamena chuckles, Applejack looks uncomfortable and scratches the back of her head ”Yer know sugarcube...we all kinda let it slip yesterday.”
You facepalm and just leave wordless, your grand plan lies in ruins!
You exit the house and Applejack runs after you ”Ah know what yer thinking, but she'll come. It's not like she can keep away from that huge a pardy, no matter what state she's in. We also had some bad experience with surprise parties for her before...”
Maybe not everything is lost “Maybe, I don't know.”
”Look pardner, Pinky is in a good mood right now. Maybe yer can talk ta her a bit, she'll listen, ah'm sure.”
Applejack pushes you back inside the house with ease ”An' don't come back out until yer two made up, is'at clear loverboy?!” she jokes, but you feel the sudden urge to salute.
“Yes ma'am!”
She shuts the door and you make your way back to Pinkie, Pinkamena is lying on her bed in a 'Draw me like one of your french girls' style, eyeing you lazily.
“May I come in?” you ask in the treshold.
She gives no answer, so you just enter quitely.
“Pinky, look. Whatever I did, I'm sorry, and I was wrong, and-”
”Give me a massage!”
Uh...what? “Huh?”
She rolls on her stomach ”Rarity told me that you massage ponies, do me!”
This is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
“Okay, as you wish.”
You place yourself above her on the bed, her feet between your knees. The bed is really soft and you sink deep, this bed is incredible huge by the way, there is space for like...ten Pinkies.
You get to work, she is really tense, even a complete beginner like you can feel that she sure could use a massage. She is like a tutorial for massaging, you can use almost every technique on every muscle you read about, and you neglect not a single one.
You take your time, Pinkamena enjoys it greatly but tries to hide it behind her grumpiness. When her back is done you roll her over, her eyes are closed and she grins deliriously for a second before she notices that she is busted!
Time for some mad belly rub techniques!
Her squeals of joy could be heard all throughout Ponyville that day.
Today, you made progress.

04 - Pink Solutions

The next few weeks all go the same: Work in the spa, make Apple Cider with Applejack, get systematical abused by Pinkie Pie.
You not only get to massage her, you are 'allowed' to clean her house, cook her some food, play games with her, hell you even have to drive her to wash at the beginning.
Maybe what you do isn't doing the trick, but at least she's getting better because her friends take her somewhere almost on a daily basis.
You only meet Gilda in company with others, but you catch her more than once giving you a suspicious looking grin, otherwise she pretty much ignores you.
Twilight said something about griffon culture, but she can't tell more since there are no references for that topic.
“Griffons aren't exactly known for writing books.” she says...
You kept a big scar. One day you have to confront Gilda about this, but first you have to get this party ready, you don't want to miss it because you are hospitalized..

The party is scheduled for tomorrow. Twilight sits in front of you with a long list in front of her, Twilight loves her lists.
She gives you a summary of what you've got so far ”So, you have a large buffet with all kinds of snacks imaginable, free costumes for the guests are provided by Rarity, no doubt she has made some kind of advertisement out of this. Berry Punch has taken care of most of the drinks, the Apple Cider Applejack and you made is currently being delivered to the Town Hall.”
She enjoys reading all these accomplishments way too much.
”Rainbow Dash finally persuaded Vinyl Scratch to take care of some of the music, Fluttershy will entertain the little fillies with an animal show. I invited my old friend Trixie for some more shows and entertainment, and lastly I invited some prominence and royalty, I have no idea if they'll come but it's worth a try.”
Her list goes on, but you heard enough but Twilight just doesn't stop.
”Gilda used some of her griffon connections and got Gustave Le Grand to come, can you believe it? Oh and the Ponyville Weather Patrol will pull of a foehn effect to warm Ponyville up for the next few days, so nopony is going to be cold.”
They sure can do some crazy stuff.

Today the infamous Dash & Gilda duo arranged a meeting with a mare for you that wants to help you with the decorations. This is the last step, after that you can't do much more.
You leave the library and make your way to the location Rainbow told you, wondering who has volunteered to help you all the while. There are a lot of ponies that enjoy your company and likewise, so there is a big list of possible candidates.
You meet your mystery pony at the town square, Gilda & Dash are already there, keeping a considerable distance and watching you with barely contained laughter. These two are always up to something.
Your helping hoof waits for you at the pool with the sculpture in it, she sits on the edge, but looks the other way so she doesn't notice you. From what you see she is as blonde as it gets, has two wings and a light gray coat, as you get closer you can see her cutie mark, two large bubbles surrounded by five smaller ones. It's the mail mare, you've seen her delivering letters on occasion.
“Ahem.” and announce yourself.
She turns around, gives you a heartwarming grin and storms up to you. For a moment you fear her running into with full force but she comes to a halt at an arms length, still sporting her cute grin.
Oh god, those eyes.
She has bright yellow crooked eyes, both not quite focused on you, but you still get the feeling that she's looking at you.
”Hey Anonymous! Everypony calls me Derpy, but my real name is Ditzy Doo, but you can call me Derpy though!”
You can hear the faint laughter of two wisecrackers.
“You can call me Anon. So...you volunteered to help?”
She scrunches up her nose and cocks her head to the side.
”But Rainbow said that you need my help. She said I'm the only pony that can help you?”
She looks as much desperate as she looks confused, but you understand perfectly what's going on. You make a mental note: some ponies and griffons will be fed their own medicine in the near future! But you still wonder why they got her to help you.
Derpy looks distressed, better assure her that everything's okay, she is almost panicking.
“Yeah right, I need your help Derpy, can you please help me with the decorations? I need to get them done today, but I can't do it all on my own.”
Now she's smiling again, 'phew'.
”Alright! Where do we start?” the girl asks.
She's not lazy...why would Dash & Gilda find it so funny to set her up with you?
“We need to get the props from the Joke Shop and bring them here. Then we can start decorating the place.”

On the way to the shop Ditzy Doo tells you about how much she loves muffins and that she loves making them just as much, she is just as obsessed with muffins as the Apple Family is with apples!
You grab a couple of cartons filled with streamers, balloons and more stuff in all possible colors and shapes from the shop and make your way back.
Derpy grabbed one carton, she's oh, ohh...
“Derpy, watch out the-”
The bottom of her carton opens up and all of the contents are spilled on the street. You put down your load and hurry to help her.
Derpy apologizes immediately ”Oh no, I'm sorry. I dropped it.”
“Not your fault.” you say hastily.
You snatch the carton from her and fold it closed properly, then you give her the carton back and pick up all the stuff quickly.
After you're done you grab your load and start walking again. Then it happens again, and again, she apologizes every time and takes all the blame on herself. You give her another carton and watch her carrying it, she holds it right, yet the carton opens up again and the content spills again. It happens on every load, every carton, you even exchange yours with hers more than once but it helps nothing.
This is not normal!
Both of you bring the last load to the Town Square eventually.
”Okay Derpy, here we are.” a 5 minute job turned into a 50 minute one, “Let's keep some of the stuff for later, and we use the rest now, okay?”
She nods enthusiastically and gets to work momentarily, spreading some of the streamers in no time while flying around, somehow she manages to make it look downright depressing.
You give it no thought and help decorating, but everything Derpy touches goes wrong. How is she doing that?
By the time you have used all the stuff it doesn't look cheery at all. Her streamers remind you of hanging intestines, and the place looks like a set for a horror movie...wait, what's a horror movie?

“Derpy...”
She looks at you expectantly.
“We need professional help.”
And there is only one mare who can do it!
“Come with me.”
You wave her to follow and walk to a certain pink pony's place. Derpy jumps up behind you and you carry her piggy-back. Her head right next to yours.
”HEY ANON!”
Your eardrums almost explode and you barely prevent yourself from toppling over.
“Not so loud, don't scream in my ear Derpy.” you say calm.
”Sorry, my bad.” all the happiness seems gone from her voice.
“What is it, you're not going to propose to me are you?”, you chuckle.
Derpy looks around, looking for nothing in particular.
”Am I your friend?” she has a sad tone in her voice.
“Of course, you helped me, why wouldn't we be friends?”
”I'm not stupid Anon, everything I touch goes horribly wrong.” her voice sounds bitter. You don't like where this is going.
“You're just a little clumsy, nothing dramatic.”
She tightens her grip around you ”Ponies tend to...get fed up with me...”
Please don't cry, damn, this is the worst timing possible!
“Hey Derpy, I'm not 'fed up' with you, not at all. How about I treat you to some muffins later?”
She just says “Okay.” and holds on to you.
Good that you can't see her face right now, it would probably break your heart. Sounds like Pinky isn't the only pony with problems, hpefully you're not going to turn into a psychiatrist for them.

With an Derpy backpack you make your way to Pinky's home, her door stands open like usual. You enter and call out for her.
“Pinky, we need your help. We tried our best, but you are the only pony I can think of who can get this straight in time!” maybe that was a bit much, but she likes flattering, at least you think she does.
Pinkamena comes down the stairs, a slight smirk decorates her face. During one of her many massages you noticed that a few strands of her hair became curly, and the more happy she becomes the more hair of hers does that.
The result is a mess on Pinky's head, it looks almost painful to look at. You don't want to imagine what Rarity must feel like, you can even feel Derpy's discomfort at this display as she stirs on your back, poor Rarity.
”Ohh, Anon, you sweet-talker.” she says with a 'Oh You' gesture.
You also have noticed that she became kinda close to you, be it through the massages or all the other care taking of her, you had to spoon-feed her a couple of times at the start. You just hope that she doesn't take it to the next level, she has no sense of personal space as it is.
”How can ol' Pinkamena help you?” why does she have to sound so flirty?
“We tried to decorate the Town Square a bit, but it now looks like a slaughterhouse.”
”What's a slaughterhouse?!” Derpy and Pinkymena ask in a choir.
You have no idea “I don't know, but that isn't important right now, what IS important is that you should take a look at the Town Square. As fast as possible please.”
Before Pinkymena leaves the house you find the mercy to put a cap on the mess that is her head.
”What's the cap for?!” she asks puzzled.
“Uh...I thought...It'd...look good on you!” you smile as innocent as possible.
”Hmpfh, okay.” sadly you can't put a cap on her tail, but it's better than nothing.
Pinymena trots to the Town Square, Derpy whispers “Good job Anon, smart move.”

The three of you arrive at the Town Square, Derpy still on your back. Pinkymena lets out a shrill shriek of horror as she sees the decorations, there are several booths and games set up already, the Town Hall is part dancefloor part buffet and the upper levels of the building are set up to give certain ponies some privacy, whatever that means...
But the decorations look really like shit, it isn't even Derpy's fault, you suck at decorating at least as much as she does.
Pinkymena scoots around the place and rearranges, replaces and reorders the stuff at her whim, Derpy and you look in awe as she seemingly ignores logic and natural laws, following her with bare eyes seems impossible.
She makes the place look fantastic in no time, then she puts her muzzle high into the air and trots wordless back home with a huge grin.
“Derpy?”
”Huh?”
“Let's get some muffins.”

Derpy tells you some incredible stories over some muffins, about how she witnessed Sombra's defeat in the Crystal Kingdom and how she got VIP status at one of the Canterlot Galas. To wrap it up, you got a new friend. And she's a clumsy one!

The next day.
Today Pinkies grand party takes place!
It just occurs to you that you don't have the slightest idea how long you have been here, or if you ever had been somewhere else before. But you don't give a shit, because today is the day of the days day of days, what? Oh God, it's Pinky!
“...the day of day the days of daysies dayliesies...”
You stayed overnight because she insisted, she is so hyped about the party that her hair is now complete puffed up. That's probably what Twilight meant about Pinky being normal, for whatever goes for normal in her case.
But it's a good feeling to see her all happy, in the end it was the anticipation, not the party itself. But that doesn't change the fact that the party is still on!
”...oooh, I wonder who will come to my PARTY!” she presses her face into yours.
“Pinky, calm down. Save that energy for the party, how about you pay your friends a visit, I think they'd like to see you.”
”Okey dokey loke-” and gone she is.
Now you have time to make sure that the party will go smooth, it'd be a shame if you'd run out of food or drinks halfway through...

The Town Square is already busy, even though it's early, several ponyvillians are already here, setting up some booths or games or whatever they think is fun. No doubt some ponies will try to make a profit here, but you made sure that the guests do not have to pay for anything.
You walk around and take a look at everything like a baws, it's way too early but a few guests already arrived. They take a look around as well, but since the party will only start in the afternoon they have plenty of spare time.

Next is Rarity, you wonder how she's holding up. She made a ludicrous amount of costumes, you would have helped her, but she refused your offer, something about originality could be heard between all the whining.
You knock on the door to announce yourself to her boutique, there are clothes everywhere, EVERYWHERE!
Rarity pokes out from under a pile ”Anon! Good thing you're here, I still need to set up my booth and ALL of these costumes need a strong stallion to get carried there.” she blinks rapidly at you, making her intent clear.
“Rarity...you need at least ten stallions for all this.”
She throws herself in your arms “Buuut Aaaanooon, I thought you were as strong as ten stallions.” she pouts, right in your face.
You consider dropping her for a moment, but by now you know how to pull her strings, so you have a better idea.
You make a little twist and hold her now in a totally romantic way.
“Oh Rarity dearest, nothing was further from my mind than to let you down. But I fear if I take on this task on my own, I won't be in top condition to dance with you tonight!”
You feel like puking now, but Rarity digs that shit like it's gold!
She squees and pulls you even closer “Then my beloved Anon, I shall allow you to bring thy friends to assist you.” for a moment it looks like she is going in for a kiss for real, but then you release each other.
She makes a 'shoo' motion and gestures you to get to it. You never know if she means it, what if she digs it too much one day?
Big McIntosh, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Gilda happen to be the lucky ones that get to help you.

On your first haul you walk with Rainbow.
”Oh man, I'm so looking forward to this party, this is going to be so AWESOME!” her voice cracks , she's kinda cute when she isn't playing PRANKS on you.
Time to tease her a little “Twilight said that maybe some Wonderbolts will come if you're lucky.”
Her eyes go wide, her smile even wider “AWE...SOME!!! If I hang out with them, maybe they let me join the Wonderbolts sooner! Or I get to be the Captain right away! Or-”
“Rainbow, keep cool.” you stop her.
After she calms down, you are challenged to a race by her. You are no spoilsport and the two of you dash off, she beats you by a landslide...

In your next haul you walk with Applejack, in your many Apple Cider squeezing sessions you have come to enjoy her company greatly. Even if she's making some funny suggestions sometimes. She has taken a huge load of costumes and has trouble balancing it half the way.
“Weren't you the one who told me something about biting off too much-” you ask her.
You shut it as the tower of clothes threateningly bends towards you
“ApplejaaaaAAAACK!”
POMF!
Buried alive.
Something is touching your private parts, then makes its way upwards. You have noticed Applejack getting more and more flirty with you, but this is definitely something new. You can only bring out a few muffled protests as she worms her way towards your face, you can smell her applelicious breath now and hear her close to you. Fondles are felt everywhere, not again...

A talon grabs you by the collar and pulls you out of the cloth mountain suddenly.
That was a close one, what the hell is wrong with that blonde?
Gilda yanks you up on your feet “Is Applejack in there too?” she says nonchalantly.
You nod like a businessman. Gilda digs out AJ who sports a pouty face filled with disappointment and a blush, luckily Gilda couldn't see what just happened, that would be troublesome...
Gilda rolls her eyes and picks up most of the stuff Applejack dropped. “Hey Anon, you know, I'm gonna leave in a week.” the avian says.
What does she mean? “Leave what?”
”Ponyville, you can leave with me if you want.”
What the hell?
“Wait, wait, wait! You gonna leave? What about Rainbow Dash?”
”I came back to Ponyville to help Rainbow deal with her inability to fly. She's better now, and I have things to do back home now.”
That must've been smashing for Dash “What did she say?”
”She doesn't know yet, and I don't want to tell her before the party. She's a tough one but it's gonna be a blast for her still.”
She will be gone, your last chance to ask her about that biting stuff!
“Gilda, what was that biting all about? I have a pretty rad scar now on the base of my neck.”
She facepalms.
”Should've known you have no idea. It's a flock thing.” then she smirks “You're my elskhuga now.”
Why does it all has to be so complicated?
“Your elskhuga? What's that supposed to mean? Uh...don't get me wrong, I'm flattered and all, but why me, I'm not even a griffon? What does that mean?”
She thinks for a moment, rubbing her chin “What do ponies call it? It's called...ah yes, you're my trophy wife.”
abrgshdsssrhfssd!
If you would have had something in your mouth you would have launched it to the moon. Applejack is rolling on the floor while laughing and holding her sides.
”Ahaha! Maybe ah should make yer mah trophy wife too! Hahaha!” her sides will hurt for days.
You “Why?” at Gilda.
”Hmpfh, isn't that clear? You've caused a lot of trouble for Celestia and Equestria. You're in MY flock and when I tell at home that you are mine now, it will bring me great honor!”
It is actually a little more flattering than humiliating, but only a little.
It's probably nothing important anyway.
“Please, at least refer to it as trophy husband.” you say with the most blank expression.
Then you look down, spaghetti everywhere, Applejack laughs her flank off. Gilda lays an arm around your shoulder and says “You can be proud.” while pumping a fist into the air.
Embarrassment levels are rising to critical levels, Gilda seems oblivious to it though.
Applejack lays her arm around your neck from the other side “Ah'm gonna make sure t'make yer ma trophy wife too Anon.” her grin stretches from one ear to the other.
This is enough! You wiggle out of their holds. You need to change the topic away from trophy wifes! This is so fucking embarrassing! You didn't even agree to anything of that!
“Gilda, how many are in your flock?!”
Great move smartass.
”Rainbow Dash and you.”
You raise an eyebrow “And how big is a normal flock?”
“Between 20 and 300.”

No pony was spared from the texan laughter that was heard that day, it was an embarrassing day...

From this point on you prefer to haul your loads with Big McIntosh. Oh fucking Celestia, Applejack will probably sing like a bird about this, shiiiiiiiiiit!
Then you see her.
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!
Applejack is already telling Rainbow...but she doesn't laugh at all. Oh yeah, she is in Gilda's 'Flock', whatever that means. Maybe you can ask her to change positions with you?! You don't want to be a trophy wife!
When the work is done you hurry to Rainbow, she is stretching her arms and looks your way lazily.
“Rainbow Dash, you knew all along? I had no idea why Gilda took a bite off of me! I thought she wanted to eat me!”
Rainbow answers with a chuckle ”You could've just asked me you know?” you unrustle your jimmies, she's on your side, or rather on your flock!
“Okay, I didn't know. So I ask you now, what does all that mean? Trophy wife?! Flock?! What the shit?! I have no idea what's going on?”
Rainbow sits down on the pool with the sculpture and pats the space next to her, so you sit down.
”It's not called trophy wife, you are the elskhuga. It's an honor.” she says serious.
You take a good look at Rainbow “I don't see a bite mark on you anywhere...”
“Of course not.” she answers “Only the elskhuga gets that, I have no idea why though.”
For your next question you try to sound as casual as possible “Sooo, how about we exchange ranks, since it's such an honor and stuff?”
Yeah, maybe you get to be general or commander! Then you take over the world with your griffon army!
”There are no ranks Anon, this is not a military organization. It is just a flock, you can see it as something like family, only that it isn't a family.”
Yeah, that makes sense, haha.
“Soooo, you want to change?”
She lets out a hearty laugh “Ahaha! You have no idea what an elskhuga is, right?! Pffhh!”
Stop it or you get eaten alive Rainbow Dash!
“What IS an elskhuga?” you try to put as little emotions into that question as possible, but that makes her only laugh harder.
”Bwahaha! It means that Gilda can have you whenever she wants, so I pass. Chrahaha!” she is annoying.
“So I'm practically her slave?...how is that an honor?” you stare daggers at her.
”Oh no, a flock isn't some master-slave thing. You can quit whenever you want, but that would break her heart.” now she also starts that pouty face, eyes still teary from all the laughing.
Fuck this shit, she is gone soon anyway.
“You know what Dash, forget it, I don't get it anyway. As long as she isn't going to fuck me on the dancefloor tonight I think I can handle her. But...don't tell her I said that.”
You quickly glance around for any eavesdropping griffons.
”I don't think she is going to do something like that, you know” Rainbow comes closer, now whispering “she's still a virgin, but don't tell her I said THAT.”
She uses your lack of attention and pushes you easily over. You see her shooting into the clouds above as you fall backwards into the pool, after a moment of panic you realize that it's only like, going up to your knees. But you're soaked now anyway, time to change, thanks Rainbow Ass!

You think about the Gilda's flock thing and go to Rarity's stand. She is sorting and hanging the costumes in her makeshift wardrobe, readying herself for tonight. It's actually a house sized tent she set up here, but that makes it only more eyecatching.
“Rarity, you said earlier that you have a costume for me?”
She eyeballs you from tip to toe, tugging on your wet form.
”Let me guess, Rainbow Dash?”
Nod nod.
”She can be such a brute, anyways I made you a fine suit that fits just fine with parties and the high society as well. Just let me search for it...must be here somewhere...ah yes. Such a fine piece of work, try it right on my dear, chop, chop.”
She hands over a tail suit. If you had any sense of modern style you would probably roll your eyes, but you don't, so you don't. It fits perfectly and you don't look half bad actually.
She even made you some underwear finally, after her complaining about why you have to wear clothes under your clothes for weeks, it's wonderful.
”Since there are a lot of...attention drawing costumes, I recommend you to wear this one with it.” She hands you a funny looking bow tie, great. This way you won't stand out. At least not more than usual.
You thank Rarity in an overly dramatic manner (she digs it!) and take your leave.

Noon already.
The number of guests slowly but gradually increases.
You see Zecora talking with a buffalo girl, Gustave le Grand arrived by train and with him lots of tasty treats. You guess that no one will leave hungry, perfect!
Time passes and you just watch train after train full of party ready ponies and on occasion some other beings.

The sun slowly sets, it's time.
You walk to the balcony of the Town Hall, grab the microphone, you are nervous as fuck. Well, it's not like your reputation as a griffons sex slave can get any worse.
The sun is already low and a bright orange illuminates the sky, you watch the crowd beneath and see a few known faces. Pinkie, Twilight and Fluttershy are together and talking to some ponies. No one has noticed you yet.
Rarity is already handing out lots of costumes, Gilda chats idly with Gustave, everything is in order. Half of the invited guests are here by now you guess, and the rest will come over the course of the evening probably.

You put the microphone down again and go inside, searching for something. Shit.
You run out of the Town Hall and head straight for Twilight, it's kinda loud so she doesn't hear you at first. If you weren't a head taller than every creature here it would have been troublesome, but you get to her eventually and drag her with you into the Town Hall.
“Twilight, there is no electricity! What do we do now!?” you say worrisome.
No electricity means no lighting, no music, no whatever else runs on that shit!
Purple Smart looks around and rolls her eyes “Anon, the plug.” she points to a corner where the culprit lies. Fuck.
“Oh, yeah, thanks.” aaaaawkward.

After the connector is plugged you go back to the balcony, now the lightning is on and every one can see you bright as day. You grab the micrphone and finally start.
“Ahem, test, test. Is this thing on?”
It is, and that gave you the attention of the whole crowd.
“AHEM. Fillies and Gentlecolts, I am Anonymous, your co-host. P-Pinky Pie, can you come up here please?”
She is at your side faster than a bullet.
“I present to you the pony, whom without nothing of this would be possible, your hostess, Pinky Pie!”
You give her the microphone and leave the spotlight to her.
”HelloOOO everypony, let's get this party STARTED!!!”
Music starts to play, well...ponymusic. You walk down the stairs and see the hall filled. The buffet is already being nommed on and the waiters and waitresses do their magics. Pinkie comes rushing after you and hugs you from behind.
“Thanks Anon, you're the best!”
Flattering, but it wasn't your work alone.
“Don't forget to tell that to your friends too. They did most of the work.”
”Okay! AND I'm gonna get me a costume too!” with that said she speeds off. Now you see where her incredible movement skills come from, without them she could never move trough such a crowd. She must have acquired them from partying so much!

You blend in with the guests, every one is wearing quirky costumes. You meet Derpy and she shows you proudly her paper bag costume, real nice... Outside are the booths and games, and you think you see Rainbow and Appleblonde competing at the horseshoe throwing thing.
As you come closer you can't believe your eyes, they are not Rainbow and Applejack at all! There are two ponies, but both share similarities of both of them! One has a mane shaped like Rainbows, but is blonde. The other one has AJ's hair with rainbow colors.
The one with rainbow colored hair has Dash's tail in the colors of AJ and the other one the same thing but inverted and so on. They see you staring at them and both grin without holding back.
”Howdy Anon, ah'm Rainbowjack, nice ta meet'cha.”
”And I am Apple Dash, a pleasure making your aquaintance.”
Thank Celestia their voices betray them, oh, and one of them has wings, for a moment you thought those abominations were the real deal. You give them a hearty laugh and a pat on the back only to get beaten in several games shortly after.

You leave them to their competitions and make your way to Rarity's costume stand. She is dispensing them hastily, telling every single pony that receives a costume to make sure to visit the Carousel Boutique some time. Smart pony.
You give her a hand and help with the costume business, soon all willing guests are equipped with a costume and Rarity can start enjoying herself.
You promise her to meet her later for a dance, in hopes that it will not happen. You can't dance. Not a bit. But you realized that far too late, fuck!
”Come and meet the Great and Powerful TRRRRIXIE!” a bratty voice echoes over the Town Square.
A blue unicorn in a magicians outfit announces herself and draws the attention of the crowd, with fireworks! Awesome, fireworks are awesome!
”Watch in awe as the great and powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony EYES!”
With Twilight as her assistant she makes a few magic tricks. You can't believe that ponies are entertained by this, since magic is a natural part of their lives, but she makes for an decent attraction.
Oh god, she now wants to saw Twilight in half! Better look the other way, you were looking for someone else anyways.

Back to the buffet, the Apple Cider is a hit...of course Pinky is there, drinking barrels of the stuff alongside Rainbowjack...or was it Apple Dash? Pinky walks over to you when she sees you nomming away at the food. She looks like a ninja, complete in a skin tight black suit and golden night vision goggles on her forehead.
Look out, looks like we have a badass over here!
She is about to say something, but then your attention is drawn elsewhere when you hear some trumpets outside, Pinky and you rush there. A shitload of flying carriages from Canterlot arrive.
They open their doors and old familiar bluesuits emerge, a rainbow colored blur shoots over the crowd and almost crashes into them. You recognize a few of them as Spitfire, Soarin' and Fleetfoot, and some others that you haven't seen before are also there.
Rainbow Dash is all over them.

A few other carriages arrive, bigger ones this time. The pony that comes now...you recognize her immediately, even though you haven't seen her before personally.
A big white gracious pony, wings and horn, flowing mane & tail in colors that make you feel at ease and a tiara decorates her head. It would have been funny if she arrived 15 minutes earlier, then she could have witnessed how her most faithful student got sawn into half!
But for now she is only greeted by her most bearded student.
Her arrival caused quite the ruckus, but everyone relaxes as quickly as they got exited when she blends into the masses, always followed by a bearded Twilight.

At some point you meet with Nurse Redheart, but sadly the magic of your crush is gone. You haven't seen her for too long, well, it was nice while it lasted. You decide to tell her all about it and many laughs were shared. It wouldn't have worked out anyway.

As the evening progresses the younger ones go to bed.
Berry Punch whips out the strong drinks as soon as they are out of sight, this is your chance! If you get drunk now, no one will care for your awful dance skills. But then Rarity would be super disappointed, so you keep that for after that, to drown out the incoming embarrassments.

Twilight the bearded tugs at your arm.
”Anon! Can you please follow me?” with a nod you do.
She leads you to a secluded area, where Princess Celestia awaits you! You don't waver and take the initiative.
“Princess Celestia, Twilight told me a lot about you. It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. What do I owe you the pleasure?”
You bow down.
See? All that fooling around with Rarity did some useful things in the end!
”Anonymous.” she says with a wonderful voice “I anticipated this moment since Twilight first wrote me about you. You tried hard to earn your forgiveness, can you please come closer?”
You can hardly decline, Twilight takes her leave silently. You are all alone now...with the most powerful creature this world has to offer. Her kind eyes are resting upon you,
GAUGE THEM OUT!
The tip of her horn touches your forehead, her magic starts and you can feel her in your mind. You don't mind, there is nothing to hide from her. Okay...except the few times when you masturbated...WHAT? It's not like you've done something illegal! Everyone has needs!

Princess Celestia has to put all her concentration into her spell, she grits her teeth and the magic glow intensifies tenfold for a moment before it is over.
She is in deep thought, still breathing heavy from the exhausting spell. What could challenge her this much?
“Is everything alright? Can I help?”
The princess slowly shakes her head “I am sorry, Anonymous. I haven't used that spell in over a millenia.”
A millenia? She really is timeless...
“Did you read my mind? It's okay, you could have just asked.”
She takes a moment and inhales deeply ”No Anonymous, that is not what I did. I have dealt with your kind before, a very long time ago.”
What?! You haven't seen other humans since you woke up in that tower! “Other humans? Where are they? Can I-”
She gestures you to stop ”Sush, it is not what you think. Your race is not native to this world, nor are there any others of your kind present. I mean the ones who have built the structure you arrived in, but that is not something we should talk about here.”
You have no idea what she is talking about.
“I don't think I can follow you.”
Then she asks ”Did something unnatural happen, after you woke up in the tower?” she is narros her eyes, her voice becomes serious “Something like a time distortion, or a messenger of some kind who appeared in the form of your species?!”
She kind of frightens you...
“N-No princess, except for...no no, everything has been normal since...ever.”
You almost told her about that human, the one who recommended that you don't mention him, you don't want to get any trouble now that everything is in order.
Her face remains doubtful for a moment, then she relaxes. The both of you slowly walk back to the main event.
“So, if you didn't read my mind, what did you do?” you ask her.
”I was looking for any remains of their influence, they tended to hide violent behavior in their soldiers, so once we freed them, they would betray us at an later point in time. But let us talk about more pleasant things please, it is such a beautiful night and it would be a shame to ruin it.”
Ridiculous.
A stray thought of violence shoots through your head, if you kill her, all of equestria will fall into chaos.
You shake your head free of this nonsense, you should concentrate on this night like she said.
Celestia joins Twilight and the two of them spend some quality time together, as the evening progresses Princess Luna joins the party as well.

You meet with Redheart once more, you ask her to give you a crash course in dancing desperately and she leads you to the private rooms in the Town Halls upper level.
“Why here? I don't think this is the best place for it.”
She closes the door behind her and pushes you onto a bed, you land on your back.
“Redheart? What are you doing?”
She jumps on top of you and puts her ear on your chest, she can't possibly-
Her head shoots up in front of yours, staring at you angrily.
”Anon! You haven't taken your medication! You promised!”
You look deep into her eyes, it's that weird feeling again. Whatever, you also didn't visit the doctor and you are fine.
“I'm okay, I don't even get any heartaches anymore when doing something exhausting or exciting.”
She looks unsure, scanning the room for something.
”Are you sure? So you can get really exhausted for a long time without any side-effects?”
“I can, see?”
You grab her sides and roll over, you are on top now. Now she will get what she deserves. During one of your many wrestles with Rainbow, you figured out where those ponies are ticklish, since then Rainbow didn't attack you anymore without declaring rules first!
And Redheart is gonna feel it! You tickle the hell out of her, she giggles uncontrollably and her legs buck in all directions.
“Ah! Stop it Anon!”
She is incredibly ticklish, and you show her no mercy! She almost kicks you in the balls once, better show her...a little mercy...
After you think it's enough you stop suddenly, she is breathing heavily. Her nose is scrunched up and she looks at you with her big green eyes, holding back a big laugh. She releases it when you break out into laughter, she pulls you down into a hug and rolls around on the bed with you and eventually the both of you calm down.

”I can't dance.” then she gives you a quick peck on the cheek and runs out of the room like a high school pony.
That was unexpected, especially since you told her all about your crush. And she even said that it wouldn't have worked out anyway!
You pay it no further mind, you still have to find someone that can show you some serious steps.
The music vibrates from below as you get off the bed and back to the others. Now that the heavy drinks are available some guests are already a little drunk, and by little you mean heavily! They really waste no time.
You grab some food & drink and head outside, look at that, Celestia and Twilight are hugging. The princess then waves a goodbye to everyone and flies off in her royal carriage.

Man, those drinks rock. Berry Punch sure knows what she's doing, you have to compliment her some time. After you walked around the party and found none of the six you hear a commotion, s shriek and something breaking. You run there instantly, three dog like creatures are making trouble!
You are sure these were not invited!
They broke a booth and are picking on a frightened pony, the other guests around keep their distance. You know ponies are more likely to flee from a confrontation like this than to fight, except for Rainbow Dash, who has probably more balls than you, but she isn't here right now.
And these fucking abominations, three of them to be exact, are disturbing the peace of your exclusive Pinky Party! They are bullying FLUTTERSHY!!!
They are making fun of the NICEST most GENTLE and LOVING pony you know and probably will ever know of!
They poke her with a paw “Hey you stupid horse, you broke that thing! Apologize to me!”, the booth belonged to Rose, she is nowhere to be seen, but she distributed all her flowers already anyway.
Fluttershy looks definitely frightened, she has tears in her eyes. You know her good enough to know that she is only holding back out of fear, you can't take it.

You break the circle that has formed around them and walk up to them in big strides, you blame your brash actions on the alcohol in your system.
The smallest one notices you first and points at you “Hehe! Look Rover, what a stup-” CRACK!
He is small enough that you can bring the sole of your foot right into his face with ease, sending him to the ground with a tremendously bleeding nose. The two remaining just look at you in shock, mouths agape. You're not done!
The middle sized one is next to you, you waste not a single second and smash your fist against is jaw sideways. Since he was still gaping you are sure to have dislodged it! He is cowering on the ground, whimpering in pain.
POMF!
A mighty griffon lands right behind you as you straighten yourself from that punch, the big remaining one grabs the puny dog and turns tail. The last one jumps up and looks around, you can practically feel Gilda's death glare.
He runs away, holding is face while emitting pain induced groans. The small crowd cheers. You were high on adrenaline since the first moment of your attack, feels damn good man.
Maybe you overdid it a little much, but you just can't take it if Fluttershy gets bullied, they had it coming.
Fluttershy has her eyes shut tight, you kneel before her and hug her gently. There is a smell, yep, she peed herself. You pull her a little away from that one certain spot in the mud and continue to calm her down, she sobs into your shoulder while clutching at you madly.
“Sush now Fluttershy, they are gone. I'm here to protect you, no one will touch you ever again, I promise.”
She just says your name stretched out in timing with her sobs “Aaaaanon” breaaath “Aaaanon” breaaath “Aahahahanon”, she does that until she just buries her face in your shoulder and you comfort her as much as possible. No one will touch her again, you will make sure of that! You've never been this angry!

After she has finally calmed down she looks in your eyes while still holding on to you, her eyes are still teary and her lip quivers. You give her the most compassionate smile you can muster and she presses her head into your chest, letting out what fear she has left over in a set of soft sobs.
You release each other and she gives you a teary smile “Uhmm...thank you.” followed by a kiss on the cheek and she trots back into the crowd. That felt rewarding as hell, Gilda was standing behind you over the whole ordeal, blocking unwanted gazes off with her huge wings.
She has a smug grin on her face.
“Thanks Gilda, I don't think I could have taken on the last one all by myself.”
The griffon hooks her forearm around your waist and pulls you close “No prob dweeb.” she pulls you as close as can be, pushing the two of you together.
She whispers into your ear “Anyway, that required some guts, looks like I didn't made a mistake when I made you my elskhuga.”
That crap again!
“UuuUUuuuUUuuh...GIldAH!”
She continues to press your body against hers periodically, grinning and, oh no, did she just lick her lips, uuh beak?! Is she? Oh fuck, looks like she wants something from you!
You look over her shoulder as you try to find something distracting, she follows your gaze and you two notice that you have drawn quite some attention.
You earn some chuckles and sultry grins from the guests.
Gilda lets her mouth hang open and rolls her eyes as she notices that, “Ponies.” she says degrading, releases you and lifts off.
Crisis averted...for the moment.
Time to bask in your triumph!

A short time later something gently tugs you, you turn and see your probably by now fan #1, Fluttershy. Feels good seeing her smiling again, she mumbles something, but with the music and the general noise a big crowd produces you can't hear a thing.
But seeing Fluttershy remembers you of something.
“Hey Fluttershy, can you dance?”
...
You are at the dance floor now, with an insanely happy Rarity, Fluttershy told you a few things, but how can a horse teach a monkey how to dance in just like...30 minutes? Well, they are as much horse as you are a monkey, so she at least assured you that there will be nothing to be embarrassed about if you fuck it up.
Holy macaroni, these ponies dance like there is no tomorrow, just good you visited Berry's Punch before meeting up with Rarity! Somehow you still manage to make a jester out of yourself, Pinky is so proud of you, you just know it.
Rarity finds it just as amusing as everyone else, you swear that you saw Vinyl facehoof when you made one of your more daring moves. Oh yeah, now Daring Do is proud of you, you just know it!
Apple Dash dances her way over to you “Some mighty fine moves yer got there sugarcube!” she laughs her ass off, what gives. You give her a playful hip-bump and send her the way she came.
Now Pinky wriggles her way towards you “Hey Anon, can't hold your liquor? Looks like you had too much punch!” you attempt to hip-bump her away from you as well, but she evades and dances over to Applejack Dash or whatever she calls herself now.
Rainbowjack appears, she dance-circles you and taunts “Oh boy, Anon! You dance just as good as Twilight! Hahaha! Did she teach you a few moves!?” she grabs your head and forces your view into the direction of a certain bearded mare...oh Celestia, be happy you left already, oh no no, is she sticking her tongue out?!
She notices you and whatever she does, you don't dare call it dancing, but she does it while coming over to you “Anon, you dance pretty good!”, why isn't this making you happy?

The evening turns night and night eventually turns late-night.
You're drinking your ass off with Rainbow, apparently Gilda let her more or less imminent departure slip. At least you're not drinking alone like a loser. And she is still teasing you for your dancing, you tease her back for missing the action with those dogs, that makes her shut up!
”Damn, I wish I was there. I bet you got your flank whipped and Gilda had to pull you out of trouble again!” was one of her more sober comments.
Others were more jimmie-rustling like “Youuuu knoo whu his aaa niceflank?! Abbledjag! I wouuld rilly lige tooo gif heer a tasde o' Rainbo!”
And others were maximum rustling “Ifff...I haade ah celloa...aaah'd cheiin yu ub...ein kep you aaaall fo myselfhh!”

Just good that you can't really remember much of that anymore the next day!

05 - Life Without Griffons

The party was a success, except for the drinks. Berry Punch made them harder and harder as the night progressed.
It ended up with almost everyone drunk beyond reason. Not a single guest that stayed longer could remember what happened in the final hours of the party...and not a single host.
But you know one thing for sure, that night, you got your dick wet, you don't know with whom, but you are sure, 100 percent absolutely no doubt that it happened.
Anyway, today is a bad day.
It's the departure of Gilda. She goes back home, is probably sick of ponies.
You didn't do it with her that night, you know that because two days later you popped her cherry. The knowledge of you, having had sex with a different species already, somewhat lowered your inhibitions.
Sex with Gilda has always been painful...she claws...
You look like a scratching post by now, luckily Fluttershy has mysteriously always been around when you needed a pony to stitch you up, minimizing the damage.
But apart from that, griffon sex is awesome, you won't indulge in the details now, but you learned to enjoy it.

You are at the train station, hugging Gilda and stuff.
Her departure is kind of bad for you, not only because you kind of grown to like her, but also because her presence kept certain mares in check.
Applejack...
And here she comes.
”...and show them who's boss, remember you're only second to me dweeb!” she gives your ass a last squeeze and enters the wagon.
She always knows how to make you feel less manly, one thing you won't miss.
The Mane Six are present, seeing Gilda off. Applejack looks like always, not gropey at all. Good.
The train does it's thing and you all wave at Gilda as she becomes smaller and smaller in the distance.

Pinkie wants to throw a after farewell party, but you talk her out of it. This mare knows no bounds.
Pinkie Pie moved back in with the Cakes and now you occupy her shabby abode, much to Twilight's relief.

Later that day at your house: You are cleaning, it smells like griffon and the bedroom smells like griffon sex, you have to burn the sheets to get rid of the smell, actually, while at it you can burn the mattress as well, it's all torn up and shit anyway. Gilda never cared about being careful with her talons...
Neither on you, nor on the bed...
A knock on the door...a weak and feeble knock...a Fluttershy knock.
“It's open, come in.” you shout.
There is actually no key for the lock.
Fluttershy enters ”Uhmm...hello Anon, I thought since...gmmhmh...” she looks at the floor and blushes, she does that all the time.
No backbone, ever since you saved her at the party she has become more and more clingy. Always inviting you to picnics and whatnot.
You've caught her following you around, but she's cute enough that you don't really give a shit.
“Flutters, we've gone over this a thousand times, I can't understand a thing if you mumble like this.”
She looks embarrassed beyond possible ”I thought that...uhm...since Gilda is gone...we could...together and...”
“Oh what's that? You want to help me clean the house? Thank you so much Fluttershy.”
You do shit like that every time she does that, eventually she will learn to speak properly if she doesn't want to keep up with your crap, otherwise she can just keep helping you. It's not like you abuse her...really!
”Actually I wanted to invite you to dinner in my cottage!...if that's alright with you I mean...”
What? She never put up any resistance like that...success!

You drop the broom and walk over to her, kneel down and inspect her belly. Touching, feeling and patting, but there is nothing.
You rustle Fluttershy's jimmies pretty good “WHAT are you DOING???” she squeaks, eyes going wide.
“I'm...I'm looking for your balls, b-but I can't find them.”
”W-W-WHAT?” she is so embarrassed, her blush could ignite candles.
“You just acted like you grew some, so I'm looking for them to be sure. I can't seem to...find them though.”
”D-Do you like hermaphrodites?”
“Herm-what?”
Flutters quickly looks away ”Nothing.”
You cease your bullshitting and give her a little ear-scratchy.
“I'm just joking, hehe.”
She gives you a kind smile “Just make sure to visit me for dinner...if you'd like...”
You give her a thumbs up and a grin. “Sure.”
She takes her leave, writing something down. You tend to your smelly home and keep cleaning.

Living on the fringe of Ponyville has it's perks, no pony is bothered when you burn something outside, like...your bed. Now you need a new one though.
...you should have maybe probably considered looking for one BEFORE you set your old one on fire. You are SO smart sometimes!
A bed shop is probably not that hard to find, probably called something like...Beds and Quills, or Lawns and Beds or some shit like that. You clean the rest of your house for the time being. When you are done you get visited by Purple smart pony.
“Hello...Twilight.”
She wastes no time ”Anon! I have a request to make!”
You already know what she wants, she's been bothering you with that for far too long.
“A report on how I feel about Gilda leaving?”
”YES!” she's ecstatic. She has to write reports on romantic relationships for the princess since some time now, heavily relying on you since she has no special somepony. You haven't written her one once...
“But I don't want toooo, I'm a busy man, I have stuff to do.”
She raises a brow “Like what?” she's getting cocky again!
“Don't get too cocky Twilight, you know what happened last time.”
She pouts “I get all the cocky I want. Now write.”
That mare. You sure owe her much more than that, but still...
“Okay, I'll write it later. Why don't you help me cleaning so I can do that sooner? Or tell me where I can buy a bed. Mine kind of...incinerated.”
Twilight has the most confused expression right now “Well duh, you can get a new bed at Quills, Sofas and Beds of course.”
Sounds like Davenport is expanding, how daring of him.
”Davenport is expanding you know?” Twilight adds.
Then she quickly leaves before you can get her to help you, damn, forgot about her smarts!

You do the cleaning and the shopping, the bed is going to be delivered tomorrow, why does every pony hates you?
Now you have to sleep on the piece of trash that is your couch, whatever, it's not like you can do something about it now. You go watch Rainbow Dash, her flight training is always cool to look at, and she is putting in some extra effort to impress you.
She makes some serious loops and spins at top speed when she realizes you are watching, but she seems sloppy today. After an hour or so she makes a crash landing.
This is unlike her, you hurry to the spot of her crash. She is sitting on her haunches looking tired.
You sit next to her, she is breathing heavily and is drenched in sweat.
“You've been at it since Gilda's departure, right?”
”What does it matter to you?!” her tone slightly angry
“I care about you, you can always talk to me.”
She crosses her arms “Pffth, what do YOU know?!”
“For example, I know that you didn't like how Gilda was always occupying herself with me. We can do some stuff together now that she's gone, if you're okay with that. I can't replace her but it's your call.”
She has to give in now, you can't build her more of a bridge than that.
Rainbow musters you with one eye from the side, still a pouty face “Hmm, ooookay.” she says slowly “Maybe I'll come by tomorrow, but you seem to take it awfully light that Gilda is gone. Aren't YOU sad?!”
The two of you just sit there for some time, thinking about the griffon that left.
You rub your chin “...what she did felt kind of...forced, hell the first few times we did it she practically raped me. But it wasn't all bad.”
Rainbow thuds on her back “So...you're saying you're happy she's gone?”
“Not really...it's complicated, but she was fun to have around, much like you Rainbow.”
Her ears perk up at that and she looks a bit happier. After some fooling around you call it quits.
“Gotta go, see you tomorrow then.”
You get up and walk away “Anon!” Dash calls after you “Where do you go?”
“Fluttershy invited me to dinner, so...”
Yeah...it's like 3 o'clock smartass, she probably thinks you're retarded now, you are so good at spaghetti business, you should open a pasta shop idiot.

As the sun sets you make your way to Fluttershy's cottage, you just realized...what if she means it romantic?
Nah, she wouldn't do that, no way.
You knock the door, it takes a while, but after some noises which sounded like accidents in the kitchen would sound like she finally opens the door.
Not wearing dress? Check.
No candles on the table? Check.
Relief that you were right? Check.
”Oh. Anon. You're a bit early, please do come on in.”
It's the first time you enter her home, she has a comfy looking fireplace/cooking place and keeps a general green tone to all her things. It fits her and her obsession with animals, which are mysteriously nowhere to be seen.
Maybe she made them for dinner, hehe.
“Hey Flutters, where are your animals?”
She turns from her cooking and thinks for a moment “Uuuhm...they'd only bother us tonight, so I didn't let them inside. They have their own homes you know.”
Fluttershy throws a white tablecloth over the table and places a single candle on it...fuck.
She places the food she made on the table and sits on the far side of the table.

It's already dark outside, the fireplace illuminates what the candle doesn't. But because of the candle you can't see her face and likewise, it bothers her so she moves around and sits herself right next to you. She is beaming, you don't like the way it progresses. Hopefully she just wants to make it a pleasurable experience, she didn't confess to you yet.
The food is mediocre good, the Apples are better but this isn't something you would deny if offered. A very fruity salad and a steak made out of rasped carrots and some other stuff, tastes good.
Sometimes you get the feeling that something is missing in your diet, but you just can't seem to figure it out. You even dreamt once that you ate another creature, you know, ridiculous right?
”You don't have a pet right?” Fluttershy rips you out of your daydream
“Uh-uh.”
”If you'd like one we can find the right one for you. I have so many wonderful creatures that would love to live with you.”
“I don't really think I need a pet right now.”
Yeah, if you want to stroke something, you just have to grab a pony.
But she sticks to her guns ”Are you really sure? I once helped Rainbow Dash find an adequate pet, I'm sure we-”
“No.”
”But maybe if yo-”
“No.”
”You won't be lone-”
“No.”
”Anon ple-”
Enough! “No. No. No. Fluttershy, I don't need a pet nor do I want a pet. Can we please change the subject?”
She is a little embarrassed, but since this morning she really seems to have grown a pair. You both finish the meal and she looks at you with what you guess should be a seductive smile.

Don't do something stupid now you pony!
“Anon, since that party...”
Noo.
”...I really...”

Nooooo!
”...started to like...”
Nooooooooooooo!!
”...you.”
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
”It's just that Gilda was all over you all the time and...” she seems desperate.
You have to stop this, without breaking her heart preferably!
”...now that she's gone, you and I can finally-”
“Live in peace as friendly neighbors!?” you spurt out.
Okay, that was stupid.
She is sitting on your lap, you don't remember her getting there. Her expression is...shock, her lip quakes, eyes welling up with tears.
“Fluttershy, I really like you, you're cute and all.”
Good, keep it up.
“But Gilda only just left and...”
Yeah, don't fuck it up now!
“...I need some lone time right now.”
YES! YES! YES!
“Maybe we can talk about this in a few weeks?”
NO! NO! NOOO! YOU STUPID PIECE OF CRAP! YOU JUST GAVE HER HOPE! YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HER IN ANY WAY!
She looks at you with big eyes, at least she isn't about to cry anymore. “But I want you now...I need you now!”
She goes for a hug, it can't be avoided “I love you Anon! Please don't reject me!” now she is showering you with kisses. There is so much love in this pony, she doesn't know where to put it all!
“I'm not rejecting you Flutters, I'm telling you to give me some time.”
It's probably just a crush, like what you had on Nurse Redheart, it just needs some time and she will snap out of it!
”Nooooohoo!” she hugs you so tight that you fall over, with chair and Fluttershy. She keeps your head from smacking on the floor, but it's still not excactly comfortable.
“Ooof. Why are you so pushy? What's wrong?” you ask her.
She just keeps hugging and bombarding you with kisses in her desperation, it sure is cute, but this goes nowhere.
“Enough already.” you say calm.
You pry out of her grip and keep her at bay with one arm, the other one is used to open the door. She tries to grab and hug you desperately, you really don't want to hurt her, HER of all people.
“Fluttershy please, at least give me some time to recover from Gilda.”
Now she is about to cry again “No, you can recover with me! I'll take care of you, I'll treasure you, I'll feed you! Please don't leave me!”
“Flutters, we live in the same village and I'm not leaving anyone. We'll talk tomorrow when you've calmed down okay?”
You push her gently away and quickly slip out of her cottage, close the door and walk away.

That sure wasn't the best of you, now you feel like an ass-hole.
Damn it.
On your way back a thousand ways of how you could have handled that situation better come to your mind. You are so stupid! How could you misread the signs?!
At some point today you even considered asking her if you could crash at her place, but that seems unlikely now. Hopefully she will calm down, you know she can be a little clingy, but that was unexpected!
...now you can sleep on the couch, you don't want to sleep on the couch. The couch is not nice to sleep on.
The whole time on your way home, it feels like someone is watching you. But every time you look around, there is nothing.
You are almost frozen to death when you reach your home, Celestia be praised that you didn't burn your pillow and blanket. THAT would have been stupid.
Somehow you wish you could lock the door, that feeling being watched was uncomfortable. The knowledge that whatever watched you can just enter your house while you sleep...you need keys or a new lock or something
You have an uncomfortable sleep that night, with occasional nightmares.
They all go similar:
You wear that outfit from the tower, this time your gun works...and you use it to kill the princess and other leaders. It's sickening!

The world around you quakes, the floor crumbles into the endless pitch black abyss.
”Dude...wake up.”
“Uuuuuuuh.”
You are not a man of the early hours and your groan makes that audible.
”Wake up man, you said we could hang out today.”
“Uhhhh...five more minutes...”
You get shaken violently.
”It's almost noon, get up already.”
Rainbow eventually gets you out of...your couch. Worst night ever, should have slept on the floor.
You get up and walk into the bathroom, doing some morning things while Rainbow hops on your couch.
”Ouch, your couch sucks. You should have bought a new one while you got your bed.”
Is she a spy? “Why do you know about my bed shopping?”
Is she stalking you?
”Dude, there is like, a dragon sized package in front of your house in the form of a bed, with the logo of Davenport's shop. Did you know he's expanding?”
You are getting paranoid, she's cool!
Better make sure you don't have to sleep on the couch anymore “I'm going to put it right where it belongs...do you mind helping me out a bit?”
She gives you a grin and jumps off your couch “Sure.”
You disassemble the bed, Rainbow transports the parts into your cleaned bedroom and you reassemble everything back together. This bed is huge, you love huge beds, huge beds are like huge things you like, like beds!
The both of you give the bed a test run, a test jump and a test nap. Okay, you don't really nap, but it's damn comfy.
Rainbow then pulls you out of your house, even tough you would rather lie in that bed right now.
“Where are we going? I hope it isn't going to be not my bed, because that is like...”
You better stop right there my friend, you need to spend some quality time with Dash. Gilda's absence is way harder on her than on you.
“So...where ARE we headed?”
”We are going to the bookstore first, there is a new Daring Do book, and I need to grab one before all copies are sold out! And after we get that done, I'm gonna show you my AWESOME house!”
Sounds like a plan.

And sounds like there are a lot of ponies at the local bookstore as you get closer to it. Like, a HUGE lot, not as huge as your bed, but still a damn lot.
”Noooo! Why are there so many?!” Rainbow shouts desperately.
You put your hand on her shoulder “Rainbow, this will take a while. We should come back another time.”
She looks at you like you just stabbed her “What?! No way! I need this! Today! You can do what you want, but I'm going to grab a copy of the new Daring Do adventure!” with that said she speeds off to the end of the line...which is out of sight...
Should you do this? It's going to be boring as hell, but if you let her down now you might get on her bad side. Fuck it, you promised...you think.
But a little teasing is appropriate if she makes you do this, so you don't go to her right away. Sugarcube Corner is your target destination.
Rainbow will think that you abandoned her...just as planned.
As you enter Sugarcube Corner Pinkie somehow appears inside your shirt, her head pops out right in front of yours, hugging you all the while. “Anon, you came to visit me? You are soooo sweet!” she circles you inside your shirt, her fluffy hair tickles and you can't keep from laughing.
“Pinkie, calm down. I came to buy something to eat.”
She jumps out of your clothes and lands on two legs, spreading her arms in a presenting gesture “Then you came to the right place! Do you have something in mind? How about some cupcakes! Or some chocolate cake! Oh I know, candy bars!” she scoots around the shop, presenting everything in stock.
“Do you know what Rainbow Dash likes? We will probably stand in a line all day for some book of hers.”
She scrunches her nose, looks damn adorable “She isn't into sweets that much, but I can make you a sandwich for her if you want.” sounds like she isn't fond someone not digging her confections.
“That would be really great Pinkie, thank you.”
While she is busy you take the opportunity and ask her something that nags at you since yesterday.
“Pinkie, do you, by any chance, have the key for your old house?”
She looks deep in thought for a moment ”No. Never had it.”
“And do you know who could have it?”
”Nope.”
Well, shit.
She makes a huge sandwich a moment later, why is everything so huge today?
You marvel at the display of countless delicious looking treats before you as you grab the sandwich.
“And I'd like some cupcakes, can you decide for me which ones? I have no idea.”
You just hit the jackpot!
Pinkie almost exploded with joy hearing that, sharing her most favorite cupcakes with you IS something she is fond of. You throw her some bits and make your way back to the bookstore.
On the way you also grab some juice for the both of you. The line looks even longer now, this will really take all day. You walk along the waiting ponies, the ones that are closest to the store all have camping equipment, what the hell?

You walk and walk, but the end of the line just isn't coming into view. Maybe that's because the waiting line is making a bend at every second corner smartass?
Shut up.
The food you're carrying almost gets eaten several times by hungry ponies that are waiting in line, after that you keep your distance, but the eyes, oh god those eyes, they eat the food with their eyes!
Then you see Rainbows tail afar.
You take a detour to get her from behind, can't miss out her face when she realizes you haven't abandoned her...does this count as a prank?
You walk to her from behind, there is already a considerable amount of waiting ponies lining up behind her, at least those don't crave for your food.
Then you stand behind her, she looks absolutely annoyed, frowning, crossed arms, groaning from time to time and whatnot.
Then you announce yourself “Ahem. I'm looking for a lonesome pegasus, can you help me out miss?”
She spins around, eyes wide, mouth agape...
Juice: 2 bits...
Cupcakes & sandwich: 5 bits...
Rainbows face: Priceless!
“Haha, you really thought I'd just leave you like that?!”
You throw her the sandwich, which snaps her out of it, turning on her coolness factor and acting like everything's alright “Nah, of course not. Knew I could trust you.”
You totally got her, that'll teach her. The both of you nom away at the food. After that there isn't much more to do than to wait, Rainbow tells you some stories about how awesome she is and why you should totally read the Daring Do series but otherwise it's kinda boring.
Then you spy two familiar forms in the distance, and a brilliant idea dawns on you.
“Rainbow, I'll be right back.”
”Yeah yeah, it's not like I'm gonna run away or something.” she says bored.
You walk right through the alley through which you've seen them, Twilight and Applejack are walking side by side.
”Oh, hello Anon, what are you doing here?” Purple Smart greets you.
Apples tilts her stetson ”Howdy Anon!”
“Hey ladies, I'm waiting with Rainbow in the biggest line you've ever seen.” you point back to where you came.
”Ah doubt THAT sugarcube.”
“What are you two doing here?” you ask.
”Jus' spending some time together, why yer askin'?”
”Well, actually we wanted to figure out how t-” Applejack pushes her hoof in Twilight's mouth, shutting her up effectively, from AJ's distressed look you can tell she's hiding something.
“Oooookaaaay. I just thought you'd like to know that the ponies that are waiting in front of the bookstore are starving, and I thought you could...use the opportunity, Applejack. That's all, bye.”

If she got that? AJ isn't the brightest, well, Twilight will probably help her out on that.
You join Rainbow again and it's time to ask her something that really interests you “Dashie?”
She gives you a death glare...was it the name? Better not call her that again.
“Super cool and awesome Rainbow DASH?” you correct yourself.
Better.
”Yes?” she says, visibly satisfied about cutting you down to size.
“What do the Wonderbolts do?”
”Huh? Are you serious?” she asks mockingly.
“I only know that they recruit only the best, but not much more.”
That got her going ”Oh boy, then you better start listen! They are the best of the best fliers in all of Equestria, they perform aerial acrobatics and demonstrations and are considered celebrities.”
You knew that she is a fan of them, but she is getting all fired up about this.
”But that's only their official duty, they are Princess Celestia's special forces. They even helped in taking you down once, but I'm sure you still remember that.” she smirks bratty.
You do.
“Spitfire is the boss?”
She jabs at no one in particular ”She is the Captain of he Wonderbolts! She is the best flier in all of Equestria!”
This is the first time you heard Rainbow admiring someone else than Daring DO. Then she starts telling you about what they've done, what they can do, what they probably will do, what they won't and all the other stuff why she is idolizing them.
After some time you see Applejack and a few of the other Apples walking around with trays, selling their goods. A feeling of satisfaction spreads in your stomach at the display.

Applejack is coming your way.
Stomach, brace for Apple Food impact!
”Hey there Rainbow, Anon, how ye're holding up so far?”
Rainbow greets her ”Oh hi, we're fine AJ. Looks like you took the opportunity for some sales? Smart move.”
Applejack looks at you “Well Rainbow, actually-” she stops when you inconspicuously wildly flail with your arms, she raises an eyebrow and you give her a wink.
She winks back after a brief puzzled look “Well, a mare has t'do, what a mare HAS t'do.”
Rainbow treats you to a slice of delicious apple pie.

At an moment where Rainbow is occupied with her food, Applejack slaps your ass and gives you a suggestive wink.
How should you react to that? You certainly don't want to embarrass AJ, so you take it on the chin. Somehow you have to make her stop doing stuff like that.
Pinkie has also taken the opportunity to claim some sales, and after an eternity you finally make it to the store.
At last.
Almost at the counter, there are empty cardboard boxes stacked to the ceiling. Rainbow's excitement is over 9000, her grin is almost wider than her face and her wings stand at attention, not to mention the constant squees she emits.

And then, the both of you reach the counter. At this point Rainbow is hopping around you in Pinkie Pie style.
She stomps her hand equivalents on the counter “The new Daring Do please!”
”Sorry, that was the last copy.” the cashier points to Lyra, who was standing in front of you all the time, eyeballing your hands from time to time suspiciously.
Rainbow just slumps down on her haunches, devoid of any expression and looking at something that isn't there. Even you are heavily disappointed, you can't imagine what Rainbow must feel like right now.
You give the cashier a stern look “Are you serious? There must be some left, come on, we waited for like five hours!”
He nonchalantly points to the empty cardboard boxes “If you find some, I will gladly sell them to you.”
Just as you were about to take your first step towards the boxes, Rainbow smashes into the cardboard mountain and shreds every single one of them. You can only see a huge rainbow colored globe and flying carton pieces which you elegantly avoid, then fall on your ass.
After a heated discussion between Dash and the cashier, she is overtaken by frustration. You carry her in your arms as she sings you the song of her misfortune and waiting lines.

But you don't walk without a destination, Twilight is a bookworm, she must have an ace up her sleeve! Dash isn't even looking where you are going, instead she buries her face in your chest and complains about her no-leaf clover luck.
You kick down Twilight's door and storm inside, no? Okay, you gently tap it open with your foot and storm inside.
Twilight is...studying.
“Twilight, sorry to interrupt you, but we have a serious case of...”
She jumps up from her studies with a worried look on her face.
”What happened?! Discord? Chrysalis?!” her voice full of concern.
Rainbow turns over in your arms “The new Daring Do adventure IS SOLD OUT!”
Twilight brings her hoof against her face, then slowly lets it slide downward until it's past her chin.
Dash continues nonetheless ”We waited for hours Twilight, HOURS! And the last copy was sold right in front of MY EYES!”
Rainbow makes a face like she's about to cry, Twilight is NOT amused.
You look for something you can look at to avoid Twilight's stare. A few eternal moments pass.
Twilight eventually finds enough mercy “Ooookay, but if you had tought a little ahead, you wouldn't be in this situation Rainbow. Daring Do's new adventure was bookable, so I bought it in advance, I received it a week ago by delivery.”
Rainbow wiggles out of your arms and starts to take slow steps, one at a time, towards Twilight. One of her eyes twitches and the muscles in her neck are tensed “And...you...didn't...tell...me?!” she reaches out in the direction of Twilight's neck.
Is she serious?
Twilight just crosses her arms “I didn't tell you, because you still have SIX Daring Do books that belong to the library.” she berates Dash “You need to buy your OWN books, and I will only BORROW you the new one if you return them.”
Rainbow dashes out of the library instantly, leaving only a fading trail of rainbow. She almost crashes into you, but thanks to your superior evading skills you manage to gracefully evade her once more, and land on your ass.
Twilight hovers you back on your feet with her magic “Sorry you had to wait with her Anon, but she really needs to learn her lesson.”
You brush off some dust “No problem, and I'm sorry that I startled you like that, I only wanted to make a little joke. Didn't think my acting is that good.”
She looks less annoyed, apologizing always works.
Twilight goes back to her studies “Do you have that report I asked for ready?”
Shit, she really expects you to write about that, you don't like exploring your own feelings, feelings are for girls, except the feeling of hunger and pain. Yeah, you are so manly! But she is already annoyed enough...
“Give me some paper and ink and I'll write it down right now.”
You don't...
”Okay, and don't leave out anything that might be embarrassing, I need to know EVERYTHING!”
...want to do that.

Shortly after you started, Rainbow comes inside the library with a total of six books. She drops them on the table next to you and almost drools in anticipation, staring at Twilight.
She hands Dash the book, but doesn't let go “Bring it back, when you are done with it. That is the purpose of 'borrowing'. Bringing it BACK.” when it comes to order in the library, Twilight is merciless.
When you were still living here, you slept on some books once. The next morning they were in tatters, long story short, worst week of your life. No matter what you did before losing your memory, it couldn't have been worse...
Twilight lets go of the book and Rainbow hugs it tight, she seems ecstatic as she comes over to you “Hey bro, you don't mind if we postpone your visit at my place? My plans for today gone a little...awry anyway, and I'd really like to read this buddy here right away.”
She taps the book.
“Sure, Twilight got me chained here one way or another anyway.” you wiggle the quill in your hand.
She leaves the library beaming.
She called you bro...not sure what to think of that.
The rest of the report is written with a grin on your face, but Twilight will not have one when she reads it. There is much less romance involved than she probably thinks, at some points it actually comes down to Gilda using you as a sex toy.
Whatever, you did what she wanted. You sign the report like a celebrity and bid Twilight farewell, she is dug in in her studies, so the shitstorm she will fire your way will probably have to wait for a day or two.
You walk back home and relax.

Evening approaches. You relax in your huge bed...which is huge by the way. Did you already mention that you like huge things like...huge beds?
It's kind of boring though, relaxing you mean.
You stand up and go down, on your way you hear someone opening and closing your door.
THAT is exactly the reason why you need to figure out where the damn key is!
You sneak downstairs, what if it's a timberwolf?!
Oh, it's Applejack, you are not sure if you want her to be here right now either. You have your doubts about her.
Oh, look at that, she has a steaming pie with her. She is the most welcome pony in all of Equstria right now!
Since you can sneak as good as a rhino, Applejack notices you before she can even see you “Hey there Anon, ah thought ah could give yer some company. Ye're all alone here right?”
“Hi Applejack.”
You know that she is interested in a romantic relationship with you.
She has pie.
She has been kind of molesting you every time she had the opportunity.
She has pie.
She isn't the brightest and might not take any hints of rejection.
She has pie, and come on, she isn't stupid you ass-hole.
Okay, your arguments are good, but I will keep an eye on what's happening, understood?!
Yeah yeah, suit yourself.

Applejack places the pie on your table and makes herself comfortable on the couch, or she would if that were possible “Argh! Yer really should get a new couch Anon, this one isn't good fer nopony anymore.” she rubs her hindquarters. “D'yer knew that ol' Davenport's expandin'?”
“Uh, I heard that somewhere.”
You sit on the far side of the couch, AJ has a pleased look on her face.
“Ah brought yer an apple pie as thanks fer the tip yer gave me, we made quite some bits t'day. 's still too hot for eatin' though.”
She moves a bit closer “Anon, ah wanted t'talk t'yer fer a bit.”
She is nervous, you probably should run for it, if she weren't your friend you would probably really do that!
“Sure, what is it?”
”Ah trust yer Anon, but...” she hesitates.
Maybe this isn't about what you thought, she isn't some kind of a stalker that is obsessed with you. She is just a little rough around the edges, hell, that's even a little cute if you think about it.
“I trust you too Applejack, you can tell me anything.”
She comes closer, damn your couch isn't that big, she can't possibly come any closer to you except if she hops on your lap.
”Yer pro'bly guessed by now...ah kind of like yer.” she blushes and grabs your shoulders, forcing you into eye contact.
WARNING: You are now in a minefield of social decisions! Proceed with caution!
On one hand you don't want to hurt her, on the other hand you don't want to get tangled up in a relationship right now.
On another another hand she has brought you pie!
You pull her in for a hug, it might not be the smartest idea right now but what the shit do you care.
She returns the hug with an even tighter one.
“Applejack, can you please give me some time, Gilda just left and I'm not ready for a relationship at the moment.”

You! Have! NO! Guts!
Why don't you just tell her the truth?!
You release her, but she keeps holding on tight...fuck.
”Anon...ye're lying.”
What?!
“What?!”
What?!
”Ah've read yer report when ah brought back some o' Twilight's books an hour ago.”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
“I'm not lying, really!”
She tightens her already tight hug when you say that. In terms of strength she can probably rival Gilda, which means you have to use your wits to get out of this!
Fuuuuuuuuuuck!
You you have no wits!!!!
“Applejack, come on. It's not like I'm leaving Ponyville tomorrow and this is your last chance, please don't rush things. Give me some time.”
Wow, you give her relationship tips on how to get you, smart, really, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!
She keeps you like that for a few minutes, then her grip slowly lessens. Her arms around your neck, she looks at you with uncertainty ”Yer promise?”
“I do...now how about we get a piece of that pie? I'm starving.”
The mood swings momentarily, a big smile forms on her face and the two of you get on the table. You eat about half of the pie, Applejack eats the other half.
You make sure to tell her how much you love the Apple Family's food, more than once.
She gives you a long final hug and leaves peaceful. Something in your mind tells you: This could have gone a lot worse, A LOT!
Applejack doesn't like it if one makes fun of her, or is telling lies, or is generally bullshitting her!...Damn.

You throw yourself on your huge bed and bury your face in your hands.
You don't want a relationship with Applejack, she is honest, protective, caring and strong.
Why are you so stubborn, she'd be a good...special somepony. Just like Fluttershy, and probably a whole bunch of other creatures.
Yeah, why don't you go out into the Everfree Forest and date a manticore? I bet they are caring and honest too.
Just shut the fuck up!
You are stuck in this world, there is no other human being, not a single one. Not a single human besides you...
Until now you haven't really thought about that, all that work and then all that Gilda kept your mind occupied. But now that you think about it...
You don't even know how you got here! There must be other humans somewhere!
You jump out of bed and grab some paper and a quill and write:

There are other humans in Equestria
You need to find them

-Anonymous

You put that thing away where it doesn't get stolen, now you can forget that. At some point you will go looking for them eventually, until you do that though, you can settle down here in Ponyville.

Your mind relaxes and you drift off into sleep. A bad sleep.
The huge bed may relax the body, but your mind is at maximum rustled jimmies. Nightmares plague you again.
You walk around Ponyville with a club or a baton of some kind, wearing that armor suit from the tower. It is dark and your stomach hurts incredibly, like you're about to throw up.
Then a pony crosses your path, she is petrified in fear when she sees you. You don't recognize her so you walk to her, she has a expression of pure horror.
You lift your weapon and swing it her way and-

”WAKE UUUUP!!!”
Fluttershy rips you out of your nightmare, thank god, you don't want to know how that would have ended!
You let out a groan, it's still early. Fluttershy lies next to you, your bed is huge enough, okay, you really should stop using that word now.
Wait, why is Fluttershy lying in bed with you?
“What are you doing here?” you ask groggily.
”Oh, I was just watching you sleep, that's all.”
You are now fully awake!
“Fluttershy...”
”Yes?” she looks at you with what you assume are bedroom eyes.
“...that is disturbing.”
She pouts and darts around with her eyes, thinking heavily. There is a hint of distress in her mimic.
Then she suddenly breaks out into a smile ”Uhm...I meant I was watching OVER you while you slept. There are lots of evil creatures that attack you when you fall asleep, you know?”
Somehow that doesn't convince you at all “Like what?”
She's thinking heavily again.
”Uuuhm...evil squirrels...and...evil bunnies...and...evil...birds....”
...
If you wouldn't be so grateful that she woke you up from that nightmare you would kick her out immediately. You get up and ready for your job, you only have to clean and prepare baths and stuff since you started. Even though they taught you how to squeeze the tension out of ponies. You can't care less though.
Only Rarity asks for your services.
Whatever.
Fluttershy follows you through the house as you get ready, you have to tell her to leave the bathroom. Hopefully she doesn't make a habit of that, it annoys you already.

Except for a exceptionally clingy Fluttershy the day progresses as usual. Maybe you should ask Twilight about your nightmares, she knows stuff...
It is decided then! After you are done with your duties you head out for the Golden Oaks Library.
If you're lucky she hasn't read your report yet.

You knock the door open and enter, there she sits, reading like she does so often.
She slowly turns around, fuck. She read your report, she read it and she is not happy. RUN!
You turn around and don't make a single step, Twilight has closed the door with her magic.
“Anon...I am very disappointed. I didn't thought you would make fun of me like that.”
No you didn't!
She stands up and walks towards you.
“I didn't make fun of anybody, the report is accurate. It's not my fault if you thought Gilda and I were madly in love! Please don't hurt me.”
That last comment threw her out of character for a second.
”Well Anon, I can't promise anything.”
Okay, you are not in the mood for her games. Dominatrix Sparkle has to wait, you'll just throw it at her.
“Twilight, actually I came to ask you something. I'm having nightmares. Bad ones. Since quite some time.”
She whips out a notebook and a quill out of nowhere “Since when?”
“Since...always.”
She thinks for a moment
”Well actually...I have no knowledge about dream analysis. I'll consult you if I find the time for it, otherwise I can't help you out on that. What are the nightmares about?”
“Violence, brutality, cruelty, everything that hurts.”
”Hmm, sounds serious. I'll see what I can do, until then I'm afraid you have to bear with it, I'm sorry.”
You bid her farewell and leave the library, that was less helpful than you had hoped.
Whatever, it's not like that keeps you from anything...

06 - Daring Do and the tricky Applejack

It's deep winter and fucking cold!
All of Ponyville and the scenery around is covered under a thick layer of white snow. Rarity supplied you with winter clothes, but its still freezing.

Applejack and Fluttershy are now not subtle anymore with their approaches at all. Somehow you fucked it up completely...
You have barricaded yourself in in your home, the couch blocks the door and the shutters are closed. There is a reason for that, a blonde reason with three apples as a cutie mark.
”Open the door Anon, ah jus' want't...uh...talk a little.” she alternates between banging on the door and trying to pry open the shutters.
You shout “We can talk all you want, AFTER you've calmed down damnit.”
”Ahm perfectly calm sugarcube, now let me in please.”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
She is crazy! Fluttershy told her that she's interested in you, and now she is REALLY aggressive about getting you. You have no idea how mares do their courtship thing, but this is not something you approve of!
BANG! BANG!
”If yer don' open the door, ah'll jus' buck it open. Yer call Anon. Oh, hello Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy is out there? Great, she will bring her to her senses! Flutters is mumbling something, but you can't understand her...like usual.
You hear Applejack talk outside ”Uhh, no. Yer see, Anon's door is stuck, so...ahm jus' tryin' t'help 'im.” more mumbling?
Come on Flutters, talk louder!
Moments pass, you hear Applejack and Fluttershy laughing. It's good that they are not fighting each other over you, maybe they both realize that the whole ordeal was a...

They are now chatting, but you can't understand a thing. Sounds like they are leaving, Fluttershy, you just got promoted to personal hero of the day!
You wait until you think it's safe, then you open a shutter careful. Looks like they are gone for real, didn't think Fluttershy could stand up to Applejack, she's bad-ass nowadays!
You open the window completely. Suddenly a pony jumps right in front of your face!
You flip the fuck out and bang the window close, not even risking a second of exposure, Applejack has mad lasso skills...
”Dude, are you alright?” it's Rainbow, thank god!
“Rainbow fucking hell, you scared me to death!”
You open the window again, letting her in.
”Man, you're usually not such a sissy, what happened? Did Fluttershy give you her 'stare'?” she looks at the couch blocking the door “Or did the zompony apocalypse happen?” she can't contain her giggles as you push the couch to it's original place.
“Worse.” you say.
Wait, don't rat out your friends, even if they acted weird, it's none of her business! They are just a little too pushy, you can handle them...
“I thought...that...uh...I saw some timber wolfs!”
She raises an eyebrow ”Yeah...they only come during the zap apple harvest, and even then they only appear near zap apples. Don't lie to your bro, spit it out already.” she grabs your arm and pulls you outside.
“I need to resolve this matter first, I'll tell you afterward, okay? I don't want to badmouth someone when it could just be a misunderstanding.”
”Okay, but you better tell me then. Or else I'll show you who's boss! Now come with me, there's a hoofball match and we need one more player.”
Good, you need a distraction right now, but playing in the snow?

Rainbow plays in the opponent's team, she is fast, but her solo play is her weakness. When you mockingly tell her that she stops going in solo...and kicks your ass.
She treats you for lunch as compensation, like you give a fuck about losing.
But she is set on making it up to you for going so hard on her bro, something is off...
“Rain-Rainbow, no, no stop it, stop, stop it, I don't, I don't want this, can you listen to me for a second? You're not listening, are you?”
She is pushing you to the Bookstore, she wants to make you a present as atonement. You get the feeling it's just an excuse, this isn't like her at all.
”I was way too cruel on you, you must feel so bad right now. I know what will cheer you up.” with those words she pushes you inside the store.
“It was just a friendly hoofball game...Rainbow?”
She doesn't listen.
”Hey cashier, do you have it ready?”
”Sure, I'll get it right away, just wait a sec.”
He goes into a backroom and emerges with a huge package, it looks damn heavy. You can't understand how the cashier can lift it at all.
“Rainbow, this is really not necessary. Come on, at least pretend to listen.”
She takes the huge package under one arm and pulls you with her, she aims towards your home. She pushes you inside and forces you to sit on your awful couch, she places the package right in front of you and looks at you expectantly.
”Open it!” she squees
Hesitantly you get to it, it's a mountain of books. Well, what else would you get in a book store? The title of the first book reads 'Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone', on the cover is a color swap of Rainbow Dash which climbs up a vine with a statue thing while being attacked by crocodiles or alligators. It actually looks not bad at all.

Rainbow can read that in your face, she squees even more “You like it! I knew you'd like it! It's the complete Daring Do collection, awesome right?!”
You don't know what to say, she just wants to share her interests with you. It's flattering.
“Thanks, you're a real friend Dash.”
Rainbow looks flustered, all the signs are there: Biting lower lip, avoiding eye contact, rubbing back of the neck, a blush, ears laid back, you can tell she wants to say something. And even her wings stand at attention, you read about that, but you just can't recall the meaning of it. Whatever, couldn't have been that important.
“Hey Rainbow, if there is something you want to tell me, hit me!”
She's your bro, a real pal. If you can't trust her, there is no one you can.
You give her a wink and she becomes bright red. Heh, must be something embarrassing. She comes closer slowly, then she suddenly grabs your head. Her blush is so bright at this point, you are sure she could read in the dark.
You've never seen her this nervous. In an attempt to calm her down, you place your hands at her sides and give her a wild rubbing/tickling, she pulls you in a hug when she tries to avoid your onslaught. She is ticklish as hell.
You can't see her face now, but she must've calmed down by now. She is totally relaxed in your arms, she even sighs several times while clutching at you. You are so good at this!
“Everything alright?”
She holds you tight and snuggles against you “Yes, couldn't be better.”
You stroke her a little and give one of her wings a nudge, it bounces back like a...an...uh...an erect penis! Haha! She has two erect penises on her back!
LOL
Okay, stop that shit, you're too old for penis jokes...hehe, you said penis.

You lie on your back with Dash in your arms, oh man, this is an awkwardly long hug for bros...
“Sooo, what's the news?”
Rainbow lifts her head, she looks like she just woke up from a nap “Uh...huh? Wha?”
“You wanted to tell me something I assume?”
She looks around “Uhm...wasn't important, enjoy the books!” she doesn't waste a second and speeds out of your home. Well, that was...something. Time for a little read, you place yourself in your ultra comfy bed and start reading.

And by little, you mean the first quarter of the book. Before you know it, it's evening already. Dash has a good taste when it comes to books.
A considerable storm is raging outside, a snowstorm! Damn hell, that shit is nasty!
You're about to call it quits when you hear the door bang open. Oh fuck, you don't have time for this, when will it ever stop?!
Maybe it goes away if you ignore it? It's not like you have ever seen a criminal pony, the worst that could happen is that Pinkie ravages your fridge.
Steps coming up the stairs, shit...
You quickly lie down, acting asleep.
If there is any common sense in your guest he will leave.
Instead the bedroom door opens slowly, then the trespasser jumps on your bed. Okay, whoever this is, this is going too far. You attempt to sit upright, but are held down by the shoulders. It's Applejack of course.
A chilly breeze reaches you
“Did you at least close the door?!”
Applejack stops dead in her tracks, only her eyes move around as she rewinds her memory.
“Uh...ah'll be right back, don't'cha dare run off!”
Why should you?
She isn't going to...like...rape you or some stupid crap like that. She's probably still angry from earlier, well, you didn't HAVE to slap her flank, but she does the same to you all the time!
The door shuts audible.
It's not your fault that Flutters is interested in you too. And also you rejected them both...did you?

Applejack returns.
“So, why are you visiting me on the brink of the night? It's dark and cold outside, and a snowstorm is raging on top of that. Couldn't you have waited until tomorrow?”
She blushes a little “Ah'm...erm” suddenly she snaps out of it and starts where she left off.
Holding your shoulders down namely.
“Ah see them pantsies fit nice?” she sits down on your crotch, then pulls on the rubber band and lets it snap back, ouch!
She commissioned them for you from Rarity.
“Yeah, I'm still thinking of a way to thank you properly for that. Why are you holding me down by the way? It's not like I'm going to run out into the snowstorm the second you avert your eyes.”
”Uuh...yee, sorry?” she lets go, though still sitting on your privates. “Ah can think of a way.” she says while looking sheepishly down.
Somehow you think it would be a good idea to NOT keep this conversation in your huge bed, with only this little clothes on.
But somehow you also think that you don't give a fuck, your living room is probably a frozen hell since Apples here left the door open.
You notice that she has her lasso with her “What's the rope for?” you ask.
”Uhm...nothing.” a fake grin across her face and a shy glimpse to the ceiling betrays her, but it doesn't matter to you. You grab her in an attempt to get her off, damn she's cold.
“You walked all the way here from Sweet Apple Acres in this storm right?”
Applejack just nods quietly.
You grab her sides and throw her next to you, she endures your treatment quietly as you next throw your blanket over her. The blanket is just as huge as your huge bed, so there won't be a lack of that. You take her stetson and put it on the nightstand and tuck her in properly.
She seems content on everything as you get next to her, in fact, she is sporting a suspicious grin by now. Looks like she will spend the night here, it's a sleepover!

“So...now that you're not going to freeze, care to tell me what circumstances I owe the pleasure of your visit to?”
...
“Applejack? Already asleep? Well, you don't have to tell me. Good-”
”Anon! Yer said yer just needed some time!” now she's all concerned.
You are surrounded on all sides and caught red handed.
“AJ, listen-”
“No, YER listen!” she cuts you off “Ah know perfectly well what's goin' on. But if yer wanna play hard t'get ahm gonna show yer that ah can get what ah want pretty hard!”
You stare at her with wide eyes, what the hell is she up to...
“You don't want to do something brash Applejack!” you exhort her.
She turns to you, now face to face “True.” her half lidded stare and naughty grin tell tales.
She's a friend, and it's just a sleepover!
JUST A SLEEPOVER!!!
Applejack pulls herself close, breathing her apple-cinnamon breath right in your face. Even her breath smells delicious, she must be half pony half apple.
She uses the time you spend on that dumb stray thought and places a quick barrage of kisses along your neck, then working her way up to nibble on your ear.
It feels too good to resist.
Then she gives you a quick kiss on the lips, pulling in for a full body hug. Her body is warmer than yours in a pleasant way, and her next kiss isn't as quick as her first one. She almost smacks her teeth against yours, then forces her tongue inside.
For a moment she roams free.

Meanwhile inside you:
- Brain to penis, brain to penis, do you read me!
- This is penis, what's going on?
- I'm gonna take a break now, can I leave you in charge?
- Hehehe! SuuUUUuure. You can TRUUUUST me. Hehehe.

Meanwhile in your bed:
You sure have been kind of lonely...
This girl wants it? Then she better braces herself! You've done a griffon, she will be like an apple in...no like..uh like wax between your fingers!
You catch her off guard when you counter her, but she is a strong kisser. Your member is quickly rising to attention.
Applejack pulls back from the messy kiss.
”When ah'm done with yer, the word 'leavin'' will be a pain t'yer ears.”
She dives under the blanket and goes straight for your privates, pulls the boxer briefs down without hesitation and, oh man, is she sniffing? Now that you mention it, there is a certain musk in the air since she arrived...

You grab AJ around the waist and roll over, she's now on top of you and you can see her pussy clearly.
Her entrance looks puffed up and a small but constant flow of juices is leaking.
The smell drive you crazy.
Applejack wastes no time and takes your prick in her mouth.
She sucks the tip a little and licks along the shaft.
You're not going to let her do all the working!
You pull her up a little, giving you proper access to her snatch.
She lets out a small moan as you run your tongue over her lower lips, you swear you can taste dem apples.
You suck on her clit and fondle her buttcheeks.
They are firm yet soft to the touch and her velvety fur feels amazing.

She isn't giving your member proper attention, but that would give you a premature ejaculation right now anyway. It's been too long...
Her flow of natural lubricants increases steadily and she mumbles something.
Just as you thought you could finish her off she pulls away.
She turns around and with a face you can only describe as orgasmic she slowly crawls up to you.
A tiny puddle of her juices has gathered in the hollow of your throat and she dips her tongue in.
Then she runs her coated tongue up your neck and into a kiss.
Suddenly she pulls away and sits upright “Ah said, enough teasin' already!” she whispers.
She gets into position and you place your tip at her entrance.

You're not gonna take a passive role now!
With that thought you grab her, her eyes go wide as you roll over with her into a pillow, missionary time!
”Oh Anon, you beast!” she says in a playful tone.
You rub your glans over her soaking wet pussy, resting it for a moment there you can feel something periodically pushing against the underside of your glans.
Her clitoris seems to do that with the force of a thousand suns. She must have insane muscle control!
Before she drenches your entire bed you decide to stuff that hole.
You put in the tip, and - damn she's hot, not only figurative.
AJ grabs you, encouraging you to go on “Don' let me wait stud.” she bites her lower lip and gives you a forceful jolt “Come on.”
You start pushing in, slowly until you're in to one third, it's too tight!
You rest for a moment to let her adjust, then pull out a little and push back in.
This time she relaxes what ever was obstructing your cock, and with a gasp of hers you are in balls deep before you know it.
Then you slowly start pumping. Her moans start with your movement, slow at first. Her pussy clamps down on you harder and harder, it's like she wants to choke your dick!
Before you know it Applejack orgasms. This takes you by surprise.
Her eyes roll back and she almost bucks you several times.
Her pussy giving your member the squeezing of a lifetime.
When she has rode out her orgasm she just lies there in pure bliss looking at you.

Then you continue, for a moment her eyes go wide.
“Yer not done?!” she says surprised, still trying to catch her breath.
You stop and raise a brow and say in confusion “Applejack, you're amazing, but I can't cum after just a minute.” you are more than surprised that SHE did!
“What d'yer mean? No stallion can last longer than that with me!”
Now you've done it, she grabs you around your neck and spins the both of you around into your former position.
She is now on top and starts slamming your your meat-pole inside her relentlessly.
It doesn't take long and you're at your limit, but she is also.
Thinking of complicated mathematical equations doesn't do shit and her orgasm dwarfs any thought you had anyway.
She is squeezing the life out of your dick.
Crazy contractions you didn't think were possible are working down there.
It's much more intense than her first one.
This time a huge amount of fluids are gushing over your lower stomach, seriously, how much more fluids are in this girl?!
It drives you over the edge.
As you feel your orgasm building you go in for a kiss. That crazy mare sucks your tongue in like spaghetti.
You grab her hips and push yourself in as deep as you can.
Then you shoot your load, like a shotgun you pump after every shot, trying to push the next one deeper than the prior one.
Load after load you place your seed inside her, if it would be possible, she'd be pregnant beyond the capability of walking soon!
It isn't...right?
You keep inside her warm depths as your member slowly softens.

Applejack sits on your lap and rubs her belly while looking at you seductively “Think yer got me pregnant stud?” her half lidded stare pierces you.
Oh god! You can't be compatible with ponies!
NONONONOONONO!
She chuckles at the sight of your panicked look, but just grinds her crotch against yours. The thought of impregnating that blonde is driving you bananas!
Blood starts to flow into your dick and her eyes go wide when she feels you hardening inside her “What in tarnation? Aren't yer done?!”
But she isn't shocked at all, slowly a grin forms on her face, then you get whirled around.
“Applejack, woah, ah-”
You land face first in a pillow and seconds she pins you there.
You can feel her working on binding your hands behind your back. She had this in mind all along, that's why she brought the lasso!
At least she doesn't have a stap-on with her...right? Phew, yes right.
When she made sure the restraint is restraining enough she rolls you over, erection poking into the air. She wastes no time and hilts you “Now, let's have some real fun loverboy!”

You wake up the next morning to the urgent need to pee.
Stumble out of the bed hastily and make it to the toilet, you are naked so you just have to aim and-
Where do those rope imprints on your wrists come from? Also, every bone in your body hurts. The heavenly feeling of relieve washes over you as the urine makes it way out of your bladder.
Suddenly you get hugged from behind, tanned marshmallow hooves assume control of your penis.
“Woah, careful!”
Applejack is amused as she crudely aims in the general direction of the toilet...she is no sharpshooter. About half the piss misses its destination, but Applejack only laughs, she must be some kind of anarchist!
You try to help her aim, but she has too much fun and you can't do shit about it. Also, you don't really give a fuck.
Then you remember the last night in vietnam flashbacks, wait, what's vietnam?
After she bound you up she's gone crazy, she's a fuckmachine! Your pelvis feels bruised, she rutted you for at least 3 more hours, cumming countless times!
It was similar exhausting as with Gilda.

You clean the mess quickly with some toilet paper and get down, but not before you put on some underpants. Applejack is already munching on her breakfast, she also made some for you. It's some cereals with fresh apple slices.
...you don't remember having apples in the house...
Applejack has the most satisfied expression you've ever seen on a pony...ever, her hair is a mess and her smell fills the entire house. Can't deny that it smells kinda...pleasant?, what the fuck? Not even the same species, her pheromones shouldn't affect you! This is a case for Purple Smart!
You save that for later though.
”Herbh gou, umbfh *munch* mpfhag-”
Apple Family table manners at their best.
“Uh-huh.”
”*gulp* ah said, *slurp* yer lucky, 'cause ah would've gotten what ah wanted, no matter what.”
What does that mean?
”Sooo, 'at was yer first time with a pony? 'cause yer sure didn't use yer assets, ah had t'do all the work mahself there sugarcube.”
Yeah well, you were tied up almost all of the time!
“What assets? You mean my hands?”
“Nah, yer dick!”
You almost spit your food in her face.
“Uh...what about it?”
She is visibly uncomfortable ”It's uh...aw shucks, how'd ah say it best...yer see, usually stallions can't hilt, they're too big fer that.”
Wait now just a minute! “So you say I have a small dick? That's less flattering than you probably think.”
”Why's that? Ah can't think of a stallion who doesn't want a small cock, it's more fun if yer can hear the bodys smackin' against each other, instead of the stallion pokin' into the mare's guts.” she states.
Somehow this has become incredibly awkward, is she complementing you on having a smaller dick than a stallion?! You need to stop this!
“Can we please talk about something else?”
She shrugs “Yer call, but ahm goin' t'visit yer in the next few days along with Fluttershy, so yer better be here. She really likes yer Anon.” she points at you with her spoon.

After an successful attempt to talk her out of a round of morning sex you walk to the town square together. Snow is covering everything and it's freezing. The blizzard raged all night it seems.
When you arrive you part ways with Applejack.
Today you get to give Rarity a massage, somehow you have the feeling that she likes you.
But a gentleman never tells.
And that you try to be around Rarity, even if you don't always live up to her expectations, you get the feeling she approves of your effort.

You start working and shortly after she walks in.
“Oh, Rarity, always a pleasure to see you.”
”Hello dear, I heard you wanted to knead some tension out of my tender body?” she throws back her hair and flutters her eyes, then you give her a hand, like usual.
Being on her nice side also has it's downs, she doesn't restrain her organ of speech in the slightest. After 30 solid minutes of her blabbering about style and other things males don't care for, something she says catches your attention.
”And then those Diamond Dogs came back, they didn't show up since the party you threw for Pinkie Pie. They were more cruel than usual and made fun of me and my friends.”
“What did they do?”
She doesn't do her exaggerated act, this always means she is serious about it.
”Oh Anon, it was horrible. I was with Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle and suddenly they jumped out of some holes in the ground. We didn't even provoked them in any way, at first they were just making fun of us for being what we are.”
She hesitates.
“Go on. What happened next?”
”Then they started throwing with sticks and stones, like animals they behaved.”
“Did they hit anyone or were they just making a hassle?”
Rarity lifts her bangs, a bruise sits above her right eye.
...
...you beat them once, this time you will teach them what it means to attack your friends for real!
“Where do they live?” your voice is calm, but Rarity sees right through you.
”Anon! Don't do something stupid! We can handle them! Promise me not to do something stupid!” she berates you.
“I won't.” you say stern.
Since when did 'protecting your friends' become stupid?

The rest of the session is done in silence, Rarity is more tense than before. She probably knows what you're up to, but sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire. And those dogs will burn!
When you leave, Rarity inclines that you don't do anything about those Diamond Dogs. You give her half-hearted answers, your mind is somewhere else at the moment.

Rarity won't help you, another pony must do. Rainbow once boasted about beating Diamond Dogs, she must know something!
With that in mind you go looking for her, she usually isn't hard to find, just have to follow the rainbow streaks in the sky.
That's when Twilight sneaks up on you from behind, she was never the one to sneak, what the hell?
”Ah! Anon! You're done?”
You turn around to greet her “Oh, hi Twilight. Yeah, I'm done for the day. Are you not angry anymore?”
“Should I?” she asks.
You raise a bow “The report? Remember?”
“Of course I do...buuut...let's talk about something else.”
She scrunches her nose and looks embarrassed, that always looks fucking adorable!
”Now what are you up to? Do you have something planned for today?”
She sounds unlike herself, also, what is she doing outside? Usually she leaves her library in winter only for necessities, not smalltalk. But you can just as well ask her about those dogs, this way you don't have to run after Rainbow Dash.
Asking Twilight!!!
Shiiiiit!!!
Your eyes widen and you grab her by her sholders “Oh god Twilight! Can a human make a pony pregnant?!”
A huge grin splits her face “Hmm hmm. Who?” she asks, trying to suppress her laughter.
You shut your eyes tight “Please don't do this to me Twilight, I know the report wasn't to your liking, I beg you!”
She hesitates and thinks for a long time, then finally answers “I can tell you later at the library, but now I want to know what you are up to.”
“I was looking for Dash.”
She rolls her eyes “you know...I've recently seen some 'Diamond Dogs'...and they told me their hideout but I didn't even want to know.” she says that with an annoyed tone.
Obviously she was eavesdropping on you and Rarity...
This is so unlike her.

But you play along.
“Okay.” you sigh “Tell me Twilight, do you know something about any Diamond Dogs in the vicinity? I need to know where they hang out.”
She puts her muzzle high into the air.
”Ah! Yes, yes I do. What do you want to do to them?”
Okay, is SUPER weird today.
“I didn't say I wanted to do anything to them, just wanted to know where they live. Can we go somewhere with a little more privacy...and warmth, like the library?” you point in the direction of her home.
”Nononononono!” she jumps in front of you and pushes you in the opposite direction, by chance it's the direction of your home “How about your house?! There is nopony around right?!”
“Okay, okay, calm down.”
With a weird Twilight Sparkle you walk home, she asks you stupid questions all the time and generally acts peculiar. But your thoughts are back to those damned dogs, not caring for any weirdness of hers, you need to show them that actions have consequences, especially theirs!

“So, what do you know about them? I need to know all you've got.” you say.
”So...you admit that you want to pay them a visit, now do you?” she asks with a sultry tone, then she tilts her head to the side while waiting for an answer.
Sounds like she busted you.
“Yes, I need to show them that they can't just walk around and harm ponies like they please, I will convince them to leave, one or another way.”
A mischievous grin forms on her face, okay, either way Twilight visited one of Iron Will's events and changed completely, or this isn't Twilight. Okay, maybe this is going a little far, she looks like her, she sounds like her, she smells like her, stop being a faggot about her acting unusual, maybe she just read a funny book and tries out some stuff!
“So, you tell me now, or do I have to ask someone else?” you say impatient.
”Okay, I'll tell you. Under one condition. I will accompany you.”
You don't want to bring her into harms way, but what the hell, she has magic!
“Fine, whatever, just tell me already, I don't want to postpone this matter any further. Who knows what they're up to.”
”Ah! Wonderful, follow me, I'll lead you straight there.”

Twilight is leading you east, past the lake and through a small cutting of the Everfree Forest. A wasteland comes into view when you leave the forest, brown land scattered with grey boulders and rocks, clearly no ones favorite landscape...and a perfect hiding place.
Twilight is a complete stranger the whole way, she is way more cold and selfish than usual, and she gives off an superior air. Not like Rarity, hers is a oppressing, forceful one, like she is unpredictable in her actions.
She comes to a halt at the foot of a cliff, it is erratic and vast. If you were a wanted man, this would be your hiding spot. Twilight waves you to come over, she stands in front of a unremarkable boulder.
“Is this it? I don't see-”
She squeezes past the boulder and you follow

You stand in a cave now, a continuous crack in the ceiling lets in enough light to see.
Twilight gestures you to take the lead ”Ah! Finally here, you better hurry.”
“Why?” you ask.
She rolls her eyes and sighs “Just do what you want.” the longer you remain with her, the weirder she becomes...
Not minding her, you get moving. A few small side caves here and there, but you follow the main tunnel. Also because only this one is illuminated. After some minutes worth of walk the tunnel looks more and more like a mine, there are even some mining carts.
You get the feeling that someone is watching you, probably the ones you are here for. Then you can perceive some voices, they sound gruff and stupid, clearly the dogs.
You close in on them, it sounds like they are fighting, it's not like you expected them to be polite and inviting anyway.
There is a major light source where you are headed, you guess it's also where they are. It sounds like they are fighting for real!

You spy around the corner with Rarity in mind, you expected them to be brutes, but that is not what you had in mind at all. The middle sized one, you recall his name is Rover, is beating the crap out of the big one.
Weren't they like...his accomplices?
It's not even a fight for dominance or something feral like that, from the looks of it he really wants that one dead. He is beating the big one again and again, even though he is lying on the floor, completely unresponsive.
The small one is cowering in a corner, he bleeds from several wounds and has many bruises.
The fuck is going on here? Does he have the rabies or something?
You emerge and draw his attention immediately, he first only looks at you unbelieving, but then he shifts his attention on you completely and comes closer.
Not 'I want to take a better look at you' closer, this is the 'I will kill you next for what you've seen' closer!

This time there is no Gilda to save your ass, and there is no surprise moment either. He points his finger at you, not stopping his march in the slightest.
”You! Remember you! You hurt me! KILL YOU TOO!”
He looks degenerated, dirty even by Diamond Dog standards. It looks like he hasn't slept in days, and he smells like shit, literally. This disgusting piece of shit hurt your friends, and it doesn't look like he is much for talk.

Rover rapidly comes closer, his arms are long, heavy and clawed, and he uses them like clubs.
His first swings are easily evaded, his movements are sloppy. His screeching hurts in your ears as he strikes faster and faster, you have to back off to avoid him.
You have no idea how to counter him, his arms are too fucking long. You just wanted to make them go away! Not fight with them! Fuck!
Then he makes a short jump towards you, that came unexpected. You try to back off out of his reach but it isn't enough, he gives you a good hit against the shoulder.
It didn't hurt as much as you thought, but the force sent you flying, you slide for a considerable distance, whirling up dust and dirt. You grab a handful of the stuff and throw it in his general direction as you jump up.
He screams words you don't understand, but you can't see shit, the dust isn't abating at all. Actually, good for you!
As Rover rubs his face you sneak up on him from the side, you make a lunge and put all your strength and body weight in a single punch against his side.
You can almost feel a rib breaking, but he doesn't even flinch, he only staggers a little, then focuses again on you. Fuck.
This time HE lunges forwards, hitting you with both arms and throwing you on the floor again.
A second jump and he stands above you, raising his arms to clobber the shit out of you.
In panic you flail around and grab a stick.
He is about to bring his heavy arms down on you with full force, that will likely knock you out...then he will kill you...

You clench your eyes shut and with all the rage and panic you have you hit him with the stick, he hits the ground a second later. You can hear him trashing around as you get up in confusion, did you knock him out?
He makes gurgling noises for a minute, then stops with a long and final exhale. You can hear his long, heavy arms hit the ground next to him with hollow sounding bumps.

Looking around, you see two green glowing orbs closing in on you. It takes some time, but after the dust has settled down you see that there is nothing.
Must be your imagination.
Your attention is drawn elsewhere anyway.
Rover is lying on his back, his tongue hangs out of his mouth, along with a pickaxe.
You killed him.
You literally rammed the pick down his throat, the tip protrudes out of the of the left side of his neck. Blood sprayed wide arcs from there on the ground, but has long since stopped flowing, his face is distorted with the pickaxe stretching it in an unnatural way.
His eyes now look empty and glazed.
You place a foot on his ribcage and pull the pickaxe free, with a wet 'schlop' you pull it out, his head rolls limp to the side.
After a moment you throw it away, what would Rarity think of this? Even if this one was clearly mad, he still was a sentient being...
You are a murderer.
You look at the small one in the corner, he is cowering in fear.
You should kill him too, that would make sure no one ever knows of this...

He pees himself as you approach him, he is crying and holds his arms up in a defensive gesture.
Filthy creature, cowering in his own piss, begging for his life...
Never have you felt so powerful, you can end him if you want.
A picture of your friends shoots through your mind.
HE attacked you, but if you kill this one...defenseless, weak...no.
“What's your name?” you ask him with contempt in your voice.
”I-I-I'm...I'm Spot, pleas-”
You don't want to listen to his bullshit “Get the fuck out of here and never come back, you will leave Equestria and never touch a pony again! Now fuck off!”
He wastes not a single second and runs away.
You walk slowly out of the cave, only now you realize that Twilight is missing. She must have ran away when she saw that you killed Rover.
You're so fucked.
The least you can do is to give them some dignity, they haven't had that in live, but that doesn't mean they have to stay that way in death.
You turn back, Rover is still lying there, well, it's not like he can run away anymore. A big scarlet puddle as formed itself around him, centering on his neck. The big one...maybe he still lives?
You inspect his corpse, no breathing means no life, that much you understand.
You roll him on his back, he weighs at least a ton! He has a diamond studded collar with a name tag, it says 'Fido', at least he didn't die nameless...

Since you're in a mine of some kind, a shovel is quickly found. You walk outside and dig two graves right in front of the caves entrance, the frozen earth is making it a tough job.
Then you drag Rover outside and throw him unceremonious in his hole, Fido takes much more amount of effort and time, but you manage to put him six feet under as well. Then you take their collars, they will do nicely as gravestones...
You shovel the holes full of earth and put stones over them, marking them as graves. You need to walk a considerable distance to get some branches, but you get them eventually.
In order that the collars don't fall down, you make some kind of cross like things, kinda look like toy swords, whatever. You stick them deep into the earth above the graves and hang the collars on the crosses. At least this will give your mind some peace.

Then Twilight emerges out of the cave, but her eyes are not her own. They are green, glowing and the pupils are slitted. She walks to you, looking at you like some kind of prey with a wide grin across her face. By now you've fallen on your ass...
Damn shit, you fucking murdered someone, under different circumstances, maybe you could have even become friends with them? Maybe they were forced to leave their home country and took refuge here? And you murdered them!
You can never return to Ponyville!

Twilight is now right in front of you, her eyes are all weird...you have much bigger problems right now. If Twilight decides to talk, you will land in jail probably! For a damn long time!
No.
You may even get executed...
Fuck fuck fuck!
Twilight pushes you on your back, her face is right above yours. You grab her sides and give her a hug.
“I fucked up big time, help me, please.”
You stare into her big green eyes, her pupils are merely slits, you couldn't care less about some weird eyes right now.
”Don't worry, it's just a dream.” she says with a voice that isn't her own.
Her voice almost forcefully calms you, then her eyes intensify their glow and her horn is surrounded by green, translucent and magical fire. You stare right into her eyes, it feel incredibly good.
It feels like you jumped into a warm pool, only the water was replaced with love and all your worries vanish.
Your eyelids become heavy, slowly you drift off into sleep, Twilight always watching.

07 - Don't Anger Applejack!

Waking up.
Oh man, what a nightmare...
This one really made you feel bad man.

It's morning, sun is shining in your bedroom. It smells like apples and sex.
Applesex!
Yeah, whatever, that joke was bad, and you should feel bad.
You already do.
When you check your mail you find a package, funny how that thing could fit into your mailbox, because it is BIGGER than your mailbox.
It's a brown package without any notes, only your address and some stamps plastered chaotically all over it.
You rip it open...some...pony sent you a bunch of...playpony magazines...you didn't even know there was such a thing like that.
As you browse through a few of them, you realize that those are highly erotic specimens. These ponies don't do shit to hide their genitals and this magazine is highly pornographic!
You feel that you have mysteriously grown a boner! Oh no, that was entirely unexpected!

You quickly hide them under your humongous bed, you also decide that you will use the word humongous in the future instead of huge...maybe.
Still wondering who would send you...playpony magazines...you ready for your job and get going.
Work is boring since there are no customers for you, after that you head out to the library.
Time to get some answers! Yesterday was weird, half of the day was probably a nightmare...
You sneak inside and out of the freezing cold, Twilight is sitting at the table, wrapped into a blanket, reading a book.
“Hey Twilight.” you greet her.
She welcomes you with a nervous smile ”Oh, hello Anon...nice to see you, how are you doing?”
You sit next to her, she has a steaming cup of hot chocolate next to her book. She turns the page with her magic, no need to get out of her ultra comfy wrapping, smaaaaart.
“Uhm, I have a question Twi, and please don't make fun of me.”
”Anon, I'd never make fun of you, you're my friend.” she says kindly.
She moves under her blanket, it must be so nice in there...
“Alright, is there...a possibility that...” you hesitate.
She gives you an honest smile “You can tell me anything. Your secrets are safe with me.”
Tell her that you impregnated Applejack!
Shut the fuck up!
“Can it be that...let's say I would sleep with a pony, could the pony become pregnant? I mean I'm a different species and all, but still...”
Twilight's face reddens.
”Uh-uhm...I would need to...examine you...for something like this, uhm...could you wait a moment please.”

She stands up, not wanting to leave her blanket cocoon she awkwardly walks on two legs and out of your view, looking for some books...this mare and her books. After some waiting you take a look at the book she was reading.
You read a random line:

'Spitfire took off her goggles, the day has been exhausting and she needed a hot bath right now.'

Oh cool, a book about Spitfire, this is relevant to your interests...

'She peeled out of her skin tight flightsuit, sweat drenched her coat and her strong pleasant musk filled the room. Her firm body, steeled in countless hours of dedicated training was glistening in the evening sun.'

What kind of book is this?

'Fleetfoot was already in the tub, waiting for Spitfire. Her half erect penis laid on her stomach as Spitfire finally came in.'

Oh god! What are you reading?! Stop!
Relevant Interest just escaped!

'Spitfire's dick hardened at this sight, pumping in rhytm with her heartbeat until it stood at full attention. She leaned over Fleetfoot and rammed her dick into Fleetfoot's cunt, she pumped away at her without mercy, but it only made Fleetfoot enjoy it even more.'

Stop reading! This is not good for you!

'After minutes of relentless bucking both came simultaneously, Fleetfoot's futanari dick sprayed copious amounts of cum against her chin and Spitfire came inside. At this moment she didn't know that she impregnated her, leading finally to their marriage.'

Suddenly a purple hoof slams on the book, hindering you in reading further. Twilight stares daggers at you, you quickly assume a position that lets you easily hide your boner. Where did that one come from anyway?!
Oh god, why!?
”Did you read it?!” she hisses, you caught her red handed reading some perverted book...
“What?”
”Did you read the book?!” it feels like she is about to strangle you with her stare alone.
“Only a little...uh...not enough to know what it's about!.” you lie.
Twilight's combination of scrunchy face and blush are fucking cute as she puts a new book on the table.
You snatch the pervy book and read a little more, you need more of her adorable expressions!

This time you read out loud, and you know where the embarrassing lines are!
“'Fleetfoot was already in the tub, waiting for Spitfire. Her half erect-”
Twilight jumps out of her blanket into the air, her hair turns into fire and she screams ”NOOOO! DOOON'T!!!YOU!!!!!DAAAARE!!!!!!”
This rustles your jimmies, you've never seen her like this!
You jump out of the chair into the middle of the room and assume a semi defensive position.
“'Spitfire's dick hardened at this sigh-”
You can't finish the sentence, Twilight is still kinda burning. Her magic goes into overdrive and lifts you like a feather, shaking you violently and shutting you up for good. Twilight slowly walk towards you, maybe this was a bad idea...

From the looks of her one can assume that she will rip out your intestine and strangle you with it to death slowly.
Instead she pins you to the wall with her magic, you can't move a single muscle. Maybe this was a VERY bad idea!?
When she is right in front of you, she stands on two legs, now you can see it!
Her groin area is slightly darker than usual and looks wet...she was masturbating under that blanket!
Oh fuck.
But now Twilight can also see it, being pressed flat against the wall, your boner pokes out like a flag pole. Twilight's fire stuff vanishes immediately, her eyes dart between your dick and your eyes, trying to send the message nonverbal.
Bad, very bad!
“I'm very sorry if I startled you...we can talk about this Twilight, right?”
She magics you after her as she walks...no...in this direction is her bedroom.
“Twilight, come on, I was only JOKING.” you try to reason with her.
”Right you were, and now, we are going to have some FUN.”
Fuck.
She magics you onto her bed and ties your limbs to the bedposts, sprawled out like that you are at her mercy. You try to struggle against your binding, but she made the knots with magic, so they are tight like a griffon virgin.

Your clothes are no obstacle for her at all, damn magic...
Naked like that, Twilight rapes you with her eyes, you didn't know she had taken an interest in you...
“Twilight!”
She hops on top of you ”I was anxious for a sample of semen anyway...”
She almost sits on your face, her strong musk is filling your world with purple lust.
Twilight is playing with your dick, her clumsy attempts at stimulating you are less arousing than she probably thinks, but your dick is already hard anyway.
“Twilight please, come on, stop this.”
She grinds her butt in your face, smearing her juices everywhere.

You know, you already had a one-night-stand with Applejack, if Twilight cums as fast has she did you can get this over with pretty fast...
Take a deep breath and get to it!
You start eating her out, she grinds more and more into you and becomes wetter by the minute.
Then she pulls away, turns around and puts her crotch back into your face.
You try to end this as quick as possible.
Her breathing accelerates as you work on her lips.
”I could get used to THISNNNH!!”
You give her clit a strong suck and rub your tongue over it.
Suddenly a milky gush of her femcum erupts into your face along with cute squeaks, Twilight's hips twitch for almost an entire minute in what you assume is an orgasm.
After that she rests a moment and turns around, licking your face with post orgasmic giggles.

The front door bangs open audibly.
”Twilight, I'm back!” Spike shouts.
If he finds his adoptive mother with one of his friends tied naked to her bed...
Twilight's face is devoid of any expression, except for a twitching eye there is hardly any emotion visible. She slowly starts grinding her teeth.
A very mad look spreads on her face, you need to do something, and quick!
You whisper to her all you can think of “Teleport me out of here!”
In the same second you finished your sentence, a purple flash envelopes you, only to spit you out a few paces further behind the library.
In the snow...without your clothes...
Luck has it that Lyra walks by. She looks surprised at first...then a grin forms itself slowly across her face as she eyes you from tip to toe
Oh fucking hell, this is exactly what you need. NOT!
Her grin continues to grow until it reaches maximum creepiness.
The minty pony walks towards you with an ecstatic look on her face, the thick layer of snow slowing her advance.
You still hope for a wonder. She will fuck you here and now in the snow, you know her good enough to know this. She's not the one for negotiations and has developed an obsession with your hands from hour zero.

Then a window opens and Twilight throws your clothes into your direction, they land in a huge mountain of snow though.
You want to cry.
Lyra has almost reached you, her eyes are wide and her smile is accentuated by drool.
Fuck. You are fucked, you are GOING to be fucked!
”Never fear, your friendly neighborhoods Rainbow Dash is hewoooaaaah! Anon, are you naked?”
You don't see Rainbow, you are too busy with freezing to death than to look around.
“Rainbow, Lyra.”
Lyra is close enough to jump you as Rainbow grabs you under your arms from behind and lifts you off the ground. Lyra has a face like her mother just died, you need to talk her out of her obsession one day.
“Rainbow, my clothes are in that pile of snow!”
She hovers you right above them and you grab them, but she gives you no chance to dress though.

When you arrive at home you are frozen stiff, it felt like Rainbow flew into every single chilly breeze that dared to enter Ponyville.
You quickly put on some clothes, but the next hours are spent by fending off a gropey Rainbow Dash.
Then Applejack visits along with Fluttershy.
You get the feeling that Rainbow wants something from you. She is lying on top of you on the couch, with one hand you restrain one of hers, with the other you keep her from smooching you into the afterlive. Her free hoof roams free and fondles all places one can imagine as Applejack busts in.
A lasso is thrown around her immediately, binding her arms and wings. She is dragged off of you and...somehow...Applejack manages to hang her up on the ceiling like a pinata.
”Applejack! Cut the crap! Let me down!” she protests.
”Sorry there sugarcube, but Anon here's mine.”
What's that supposed to mean? She can't be-
”Jus' lemme show yer how it's done.”
Applejack says that while looking at you, she turned on her Eviljack mode. Her grin is...well...evil, a shiver runs through you as she slowly walks towards you, tail swinging from side to side in anticipation for something. Somewhere in the corner of your eye you can see a yellow pink ball watching, she puts a pair of saddlebags down and slowly approaches.
You have a bigger problem right now.

Applejack seems to think that you're in a relationship with her, and she doesn't looks like she is going to talk to you about it...maaaaaybe you should have done this the morning after your one-night-stand?
She jumps into the exact same position Rainbow were seconds ago.
”Ah hope yer don' mind giving yer friends a little show Anon.”
“Actually I dOOfh!”
She flips you around like a pancake, quickly twists your arms on your back. At this point you struggle a little, but Applejack, as expected, overpowers you easily with your arms already twisted like that.
Meanwhile Rainbow is trying to convince Fluttershy to let her down, to no avail.
“Stofhpfhpfhpfh”
Applejack presses your face into a pillow to shut you up, then she ties you up.
”See? Like that he can't do a thing.” she explains like a teacher.
You turn your head to the side to see what's going on.
Rainbow has become quiet and you see that Fluttershy is almost face to face with you.
”Uhhm...could you please... uuhm...if it's okay with you...use this Applejack?” she squeaks.
Please, don't be a strap-on!
You can't see what Fluttershy gives Applejack, but you will probably know sooner or later anyway.
Applejack pulls on your hair, lifting your head, then pushes a ballgag in your mouth. Your head flops back into the pillow and the gag is strapped to your head, it has holes for breathing, but you can't push it out no matter what.
Now with your mouth restrained as well, Fluttershy becomes cocky. As Applejack flips you over again she is all over you, she is plastering you with kisses all over and starts undressing you.

An ice cold breeze blows through your living room.
Applejack, who is still sitting on you, doesn't seem to care. You look her into the eyes, widen yours and dart from her to the door repeatedly while you groan muffled protests at her. She doesn't get it, it just confuses her...
She raises an eyebrow “Is somethin' wrong sugarcube?”
“Hmhmmhm”
You roll your eyes and shiver intentionally in a exaggerated way.
After an eternity of giving her many more unmistakeable hints she finally looks to the door.
”The door?!” she says surprised.
You nod hastily.
”Oh...uh...sure, sorry about that.”
She gets up and trots to the door, Fluttershy takes her place immediately. You'd really prefer AJ right now, Flutters is drooling in the corners of her grin...she also doesn't care for the integrity of your clothes. She practically rips your shirt off of your body.
“I'm sorry if I have to treat you a little rough.” she says “But if I have to show you what's best for you before you understand, I'll do it!”
At least she warms you with her body as she goes for a full body hug while never stopping her assault of tender kisses.
It doesn't bother you that much, you are far too confused to get a hard-on anyway, the cold not to mention.

You give Rainbow a confused glimpse.
She is trying to get out of her restraints, but AJ knows her handiwork damn well.
”If yer want to get outta there, yer just have t'promise me to not intervene. That's all Rainbow.”
Dash just stares at her.
”Well, yer call cutie.”
She leaves Rainbow be and returns her attention to you.
”Ho there Flutters, ah said watchin'n touchin', not ruttin'”
She gently lifts Flutters off of you with a grin. Applejack pulls down your pants, there's not much you can do about it and senseless struggle might just make her angry...you don't want her to get angry while tied up...
She grabs your flaccid member and gives it a few probing squeezes.
”Hmm, weird. Last time he was all horny n'ready t'go...hmm must be the couch.”
She easily flops you over her back and carries you upstairs, Fluttershy following right behind you.
You try to make her understand that you're not okay with this, but she just smooches you and says “It's okay sweetie, even if you don't approve at first, I'll make you see.”
Somehow you have to get out of this, but how?

You are at the top floor when you kick against the wall, the unexpected push throws Applejack off balance and you both fall over.
“Argh, Anon! Stop yer strugglin'!”
Immediately you try to worm your way out of this situation, but Applejack was smart enough to tie up your ankles as well.
The tan mare approaches you and you are tempted to kick her to make your intent clear, but decide against it. You don't want to hurt them, there has to be another way!
She picks you up and drags you to your bedroom.
Then she throws herself, along with you onto your bed (it's still huge by the way).
Fluttershy closes the door.
In no time Applejack is under the blanket with you and hugs you tight, sharing her body warmth with you. It becomes warmer quickly as Fluttershy joins.
You already knew that these ponies have a generally higher body temperature, but this would be handy in cold nights...
Applejack is breathing down your neck intentionally and Fluttershy is pushing herself against you from the other side.
One of them is fondling your privates, slowly blood begins once again to flow into your member.
”See? Ah told yer, get'im in the mood and he's ready t'go sugar.” AJ nods to Flutters.
A second hoof joins in on the fun zone in your crotch.
”Oh yes, I see, it's always such a hassle with a stallion. They never get hard if they are tied up.”
OH GOD!
“Hmhhmmpfhfhhm” but you can't make a single intelligeble word. That damn ball-gag.
”Don' worry there loverboy, ah know what ah'm doin'”
Quickly your cock is stroked to full attention, you can't deny that it feels great getting rubbed by two girls at once. They touch you in all the right places, but it doesn't justify anything, there must be a way out...

Applejack straddles you, everytime she gets your dick near her entrance you make a hollow back and raise your legs, giving her lots of trouble in her efforts.
“Damn Anon, quit yer foolin' around!”
Fluttershy gets up from the bed “I'll be right back.”
You give the tan mare not a single chance of putting your dick in, they probably get it soon and tomorrow you can all laugh about this entire misunderstanding!

Fluttershy comes back with her saddlebags “I already thought that he might need some 'encouragement'.” she rummages through her bags “So I brought some things.”
The usually so shy mare brings out a tiny vial filled with some gravel-sized, pink-whiteish crystal stuff in it out, a small cork shuts the thing close.
Applejack raises an eyebrow “Ah'm not so sure about usin' drugs Flutters.” she says doubtfully.
“It's not drugs.” Fluttershy assures her “It's medicine!”

Holy shit!
Fluttershy! You crazy cunt!
Stop this crap! It's not funny anymore!
You try to put these thoughts into words, but the ball-gag hinders you.
“Could you...hold him a little...please?” she says, cute like always, then tells you “It's for your own good sweetie.”
By now you are struggling as much as possible, but it's not much more effective than an earthworm wiggling around.
Applejack shrugs, and with a curious look on her face puts you in a headlock. She holds your head in a position that gives the shy mare a perfect access to your mouth.
Fluttershy pulls the cork out of the vial and trickles the little stones through the ball-gag into your mouth.

Pffth! Did she really think you'd swallow that shit?

The little crystals dissolve quickly.
“Keep him like that please. It's always such a hassle to do this alone.” she squeaks to AJ.
She just answers with an “Sure.”
You don't swallow, knowing that your saliva is full of that drug. You try to push it out, but the ball-gag makes it near impossible.
Fluttershy kisses you over the gag and slowly lets her saliva drip into your mouth, after a minute of this she pulls away.
A yellow hoof pinches your nose but Applejack stops her, maybe she realized what she is doing and came to her senses!?
“Ah wanna do that too!” she says to Flutters.
“Oh, sure, just don't swallow if you get something in your mouth...please.”
Then Applejack fills your mouth with her saliva as well.
When she is done Flutters pinches your nose shut and holds the holes of the ball-gag closed.
You can't breath, your eyes dart from one pony to the other in panic. Fluttershy looks kind like always, as if everything were in order.
Applejack lets her tongue slightly hang out and watches you curiously.

After 30 seconds Flutters starts casually talking to AJ “You know Applejack, we REALLY should do something together more often.”
Air.
“Ah know, how about yer show me where t'get some o'that stuff and ah'll show yer some nice knots that can't be opened by...” her eyes quickly glance to you “...yer know.”
Can't take it...much longer...
“Oh, that would be so nice, I'd really like that.”
Oh no, you think you swallowed a tiny bit!
“So, what does yer 'medicine' do?” Applejack asks.
You're at your limit!
“Oh, not much, it just makes him a little horny.”
You swallow.
“And yer were s'posed t'give him the entire bottle?”
And swallow.
“Well...no. But they always endure longer if I do.”
And swallow.
“Are yer sure this is safe?”
A last swallow and your mouth is empty, Flutters takes her hooves away as she feels you sucking in some sweet air.
“Yes, there are only rarely side-effects, and sometimes they can do it two times in a row!” she says with enthusiasm.
A warm feeling slowly spreads in your belly, it extends downwards and reaches your loins.
Your dick grows to full capacity and you become hornier by the minute.
“Well, let's see if it works.” Applejack states and releases her hold.
She quickly straddles you again and this time Fluttershy assists her.

Fluttershy is rubbing your dick against AJ's entrance, you feel her hot wet snatch being more than ready, but Fluttershy is teasing both of you. She just keeps rubbing the tip all over her pussy.
Applejack is about to go in for a kiss, but Flutters stops her “We should wait for a few minutes...you don't want to get any residue of that medicine.” she lectures her.
Then she gets back to tease the both of you. She starts licking.
You instinctively buck your hips lightly, the pink haired mare takes this as the sign and leads your cockhead at AJ's entrance, you push in slowly, Flutters never stops working with her tongue. It's incredibly hot inside the blonde mare, she pushes down and you are in balls deep before you know it.
You stay like this for a moment, Applejack is grinding a little. Fluttershy has no more room to play with down there and comes around, sitting on your chest, face to face with AJ.
”I knew I should have brought the ring-gag.”
She says that while pushing her lower lips all across your face.
”Ah think yer can get that thing off of him now, when he's all fired up, there's no stoppin', even without drugs.”
With that said, the ballgag is replaced with Fluttershy's pussy, she does it so fast you have virtually no time to mouth even one word...not that your sex addled mind has much to say at this moment...

From her squeaks and moans you guess that you give her a good time while AJ works in rhythm with your hip bucking at stuffing her pussy.
These mares cum way too fast...you push your tongue in as deep as it gets as Fluttershy cums, her squeezing feels great. The only thing that feels even greater is when AJ does it with your dick!
The house is filled with lewd moans and you are sure the smell will never fade.
They never stop.
After AJ's third orgasm she becomes slower.
”Cum already!” she swears, audibly worn out from her orgasms.
Looks like she doesn't have the stamina of your first night. After her fifth time she falls off, a small puddle has formed beneath your ass.

Fluttershy has been taking it easy, pulling away when getting too close. Apparently she waited for the opportunity and impales herself on you right away.
She clenches her legs around your waist and grabs you by the shoulders, then rolls around so that she is lying underneath you.
Slowly you begin to pump away at her, you just want to cum, and she is providing you the means for it. Her contractions aren't as strong as AJ's, but you compensate that easily through going at your own pace.
Because of all of the teasing she cums quickly, okay, her vaginal muscles aren't THAT much weaker than AJ's!
Speaking of Applejack, after Fluttershy's squeaking quiets down you can hear her snoring...

You give Fluttershy all you've got, she holds you in place with a hug and is kissing you all the time.
After fucking the shit out of Fluttershy (not literally) you can finally feel your orgasm building.
Through all her squeaks and moans you can hear a faint “Inside”
You reach the critical limit and grit your teeth, pushing in as deep as possible with a hard thrust and smacking your pelvises together. Your tip kisses her womb and you cum inside her while her pussy massages the cum out of you.
You cum over and over again, filling her up to the brim. Her pussy is still milking you when your orgasm dies down, that was damn intense...for both of you...and exhausting!
You let yourself fall over on the yellow mare and give her a kiss on the lips. That was a mistake, because now she keeps her tongue inside your mouth all the time...
With your dick still inside her and her tongue inside you, you slowly drift off into the best sleep you've ever had, a Fluttershy keeping you as close to her as possible all the time.

After a brief nap you wake up.
You peel yourself out of the sleeping yellow pone's clutches and sneak past a heavily snoring Apple Family member.
How can this get any worse? You just fucked two of your friends, one of them for the second time!

Downstairs Rainbow Dash is still hanging from the ceiling with the most annoyed look possible.
”Anon! Get me out of here!” she is boiling!
Your hands are still tied.
You are still naked.
You are drenched in fluids you don't even want to ask about.
And you're not even going to start on the smell!
“Shit, how can I get you out of there?” you ask.
You turn around and show her your binding.
”Get somepony, anypony! I hung here for hours while you rutted two of MY best friends, and I heard everything, EVERYTHING!” she shouts angrily.
”I'm not going outside like this, on one hand I will freeze to death within minutes, and on the other, if I meet Lyra with my hands tied and naked this madness you just witnessed will repeat itself tenfold. You know Lyra!”
Desperation sneaks into her voice ”Okay, then get a knife from the kitchen and cut yourself loose, hurry!”
After a long trial you finally cut the rope and free yourself, you stand before a hanging Rainbow.
“If I set you free, will you try anything funny?”
”What? You've got to be kidding me!” she shouts indignant.
Wait, Rainbow is the element of loyalty, surely she wouldn't betray her bro like that.
“Sorry.”
You get Rainbow down and untie her, she stretches her wings and...no, those are wingboners! She rubs her arms where the binding was and tackles you to the ground, pinning you there, you are too lazy to struggle right now.
”I didn't know Applejack was your special somepony, if I knew tha-”
You cut her off “She isn't, and calm down. It's a huge misunderstanding.”
Rainbow grinds her crotch against you “I can't...and I don't want. I heard you rutting for hours, I also want to have some fun! It feels like I'm in estrus right now! It's your fault!”
Oh shit, Rainbow entered crazy mode!
You have to talk her out of this somehow!
“Can't you just...quit being horny? Why would my best bro do something like this to me? I thought we were cool?”
The spot she grinds on has become sopping wet.
”That's right! Why would my bro do this to me? I didn't saw you struggle once against AJ and Flutters, bet you enjoyed it all along while leaving me hanging, literally!” her voice is full of conflicting emotions.
She smashes you against the floor painfully to emphasize her argument, she must be mad-roused beyond her senses.
“Applejack tied me up and Fluttershy gagged me, what was I supposed to do? She is stronger than me and Fluttershy would had helped her if necessary, I had no chance the moment she laid hands on me!”
”Hooves! And you could have at least tried! Maybe that would have sent the message, if there was one at all since you seemed pretty content with what happened!”
“Come ON, you know that's not true!”
”You know what?! FINE! I don't need a friend like you! You damned jerk! You are so full of crap! If you need help again I won't be there for you!”
She let's go and flies off.
Shit.
You've never seen her that angry. And especially not at you.
That was stupid.
You should apologize. Like a million times. She was probably much more of a victim than you...
Now you feel like shit.
Fuck this. You just made your bro mad at you!
What if she meant it?
She sounded damn serious...
Fuck.

At this point you seriously think about leaving Ponyville, all the ponies in this town are CRAZY. And with your bro gone there is not much left other than pony-villians! Literally!
...even Twilight.
Maybe you can move in with Zecora, to at least get some distance between you and them.

You sit on your couch, all kinds of body fluids slowly drying while thinking about possible futures.
This has gotten out of hand really quickly since Gilda's departure. Why are you so bad at relationships?!

Applejack comes down, she looks remorseful as she sits next to you.
”Ah'm sorry sugarcube, ah heard what just happened. That really wasn't what ah had in mind, it's all my fault.”
...
“Applejack...I'm not going to release my anger at you now...but...can it be that you believe we are in a serious relationship?”
She gives you a deadpan stare.
”Of course, because we are!” she says calm, with a tiny bit of anger.
Fuck.
Right now Rainbow is more important, the damage with Applejack is probably irreversible, but you have to save your relationship with Rainbow at all costs!
“Can you talk to Rainbow Dash, maybe...after she calmed down?” you say after a short pause, not caring for any proper change of subject.
Applejack doesn't waste a second ”Sure can do Sugarcube, t'was kinda mah fault that happened. But just in case, can yer talk t'Twilight and get some tips, maybe this can get a little compl'cated.”
Point taken.

She leans against you, pushing you down so that she lays on your chest partially. She makes the most adorable scrunchy face possible
”Are yer angry ah brought Fluttershy?”
Somehow you have to tell her you are not in a relationship with you...maybe later.
You are fucking hate rage boiling angry at her!
“Well...maybe a little...” oh god, she will see right through you!
And she does, she sheepishly looks away, but doesn't say anything about busting you, and you don't say anything about her not saying anything about busting you...
Oh god, this is so awkward...

She then changes the subject “How 'bout some eatin'?”
The tan mare gets up and quickly raids your fridge, then takes her leave like nothing happened.
In time you will give her a piece of your mind, but first you have to resolve the Rainbow matter.
It can wait.

You should ask Twilight, but what if she is still angry...or masturbating?
Or masturbating while angry?!
Maybe if you use Spike as a social shield...
Maybe she has just snapped out of it...
Maybe you can maybe and then maybe maybe shut the fuck up and go to her already...and wash yourself first!

15 minutes later you arrive at the Golden Oaks Library.
Suddenly it seems to be a very bad idea to confront Twilight now, thinking back to earlier today, you can't fathom what she might do to you if you just walk in on her like that with relationship problems...
You turn around and walk away.
Instead you go to a pony that is most probably better suited for these kinds of questions than that nerdy magician.

The Carousel Boutique!
You sit in front of Rarity.
”What can I help you with my dear?”
“Ehhm.”
Fuck.
You don't want to tell her that you had sex with two of her friends...
You also need to stop Applejack...
”Darling?” rarity asks.
Fuck, how can you tell her? You should've thought about that earlier! Dumbass!
“Uhhh...I...wanted...”
...
”How about you think about what you want to say while I make some tea.”
Rarity vanishes into her kitchen and Applejack is sitting next to you.
Wait...what?
Applejack?
“Applejack?”
”That's mah name sugarcube.”
“Where did you come from? I didn't-”
”Ah came here t'ask Rarity about Rainbow, now what are YOU doin' here? Didn't yer agree yer wanted t'talk with Twilight?”
”Yeeeeaaah...about that...Twilight might be incredibly angry at me...”
Applejack jumps on your lap ”What'cha do?” she says seductively.
“Applejack, stop.” you push her back on her chair “I'm really not okay with what happened, and why the hell did you bring Fluttershy along?!”
The anger from earlier slowly comes back.
”Ah only wanted t'show her that yer MAH special somepony! So she'd stop chasin' after yer!” she sounds equally angry now.
Great job idiot.
“Now that worked out wonderful!” sarcasm dripping from every word.
”It got outta control okay?! Everypony makes mistakes!” she says.
Rarity comes back with a tray hovering behind her. She puts the tea and three cups on the table.
”Oh, are you having a lovers quarrel? Should I leave?”
You are getting more angry by the minute...
“She is not my LOVER! This is bullshit, I'm not in a relationship with Applejack?!” now it's out.

You stand up and look at her accusingly.
She does the same and pokes your chest ”Ah thought yer were okay with it! That night you certainly were!”
You smack her hoof away “How about you tell me these kinds of things first instead of deciding them on your own?! Maybe I'm NOT okay with it!”
She pushes her forehead against yours and you hold against it, staring angrily in her equally angry eyes.
”Are yer SERIOUS?! Yer just stick her dick in and when yer don't want anymore yer drop me like a rotten apple?!” she screams now.
You don't want to get tangled up with this shit, you just lost Rainbro and still try to figure things out.
No time for Applejack and her Applecrap!
You shake your head and turn around, marching for the door.
“I've had enough of this, I just want Rainbow back.” you murmur.
”Uhm, darling. You should really talk-”
You close the door behind you, barely able to not bang it.
On your way back you frighten almost every pony that crosses your way with your angry face. These ponies don't know what real anger is...
You don't remember ever being that upset before.
This evening you sleep on your awful couch, don't even want to smell a pony, Applejack and Fluttershy in particular!

08 - Or This Happens

As you lay down on your god awful couch you curse every pony alive and dead and soon to be alive and fuck this world!
Your bed smells like applesex and flowers...
WHERE DOES THIS FUCKING SMELL COME FROM?!?!?!
Tomorrow you have to wash your entire bed to get rid of this smell!

It's been around 5 hours since you had that argument with the tan mare. She sure was angry, you wonder what she's been doing...
It's dark outside. You close your eyes and try to sleep, the couch making it not an easy task.
There is some kind of noise...
What the hell? What bothers you this late?!
You can't sleep with that shit going on, it's too loud!
It sounds like running water. Did you leave the sink open?

You stand up and investigate. The light outside is ignored intentionally, you don't want to see any pony right now...
There is no water running anywhere in your house, the noise gets louder and occasionally a crackling is heard.
The lights outside become brighter, then you smell it!
Something is burning!
You run to your bedroom window.
YOUR FUCKING HOUSE IS BURNING!!!
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!
Evacuate immediately!!!
You grab what you can and jump out of the bathroom window!
Snow is fucking cold. The entire front of your house is already engulfed in flames. You just stand there, looking at the fire as it conquers more and more of your home.
Pinkie will be very angry, very soon...
You can hear sirens in the distance, but it's too late, you've never seen something burn this good.
Suddenly everything turns black, a sack is put over your head. Before you can struggle a knock to the head renders you unconscious.

...
Cold water is splashed all over your body, it wakes you up and you panic.
The attempt to stand up is halted as a iron collar around your neck pulls you back down on the cold stone floor.
It's dark, no, you still have that sack over your head!
You pull the sack off, from the looks you'd guess you're in the cellar of Sweet Apple Acres residence.
A chain links you to the wall, Applejack stands there, or rather tries to stand. She has a bottle of something with her, you can smell the hard liquor she emanates.
She is only illuminated by an oven or something.
“What the fuck, Applejack, stop this crap, it's not funny!”
You pull on the chain, but it's strong enough to hold a bear, then Fluttershy steps into the light. She also doesn't look completely sober.
”I'll takea care this, youuu can...hold him down!” she giggles like a maniac.
You stand close to the wall you are chained to, Applejack stumbles towards you, she is totally smashed. She whips out a lasso and clumsily throws it in your general direction.
After the fifth attempt she gets tired of it.
”Ah'm gunna...do eeet lahk this.”
She hops in front of you and punches you in the stomach hard, you fall to the ground as the wind is knocked out of your lungs. Applejack ties you up and holds you down on your stomach with her weight.
You wish Gilda was here, since she left everything has gone down the drain...
When you look over to Fluttershy you see why Appledrunk holds you down, and you are not happy about it.
“Stop it you two! STOP!”
”Ugh, shaddap. Ah'll shouw everyponnny thet yer AHR ma lovuur!”
Fluttershy closes in with a red glowing iron.
“You guys are drunk, please stop this, you will regret this tomorrow! Listen to me! Please!”
Fluttershy just giggles, Applejack strokes you and whispers in your ear “Tahm t'give yer ye cutie mark!”
She pulls down your boxers and presents the side of your ass, then the hot iron is pushed against your flesh.
You always try to be a man, but this night, you screamed like a little girl...
The procedure feels like an eternity and hurts incredibly.
”Theyt's enough Flutters.”
The hot iron is thrown to the side, it smells like burned flesh. Flutternurse puts some salve on your hurting cheek and straps some bandage cloth over it.
You groan into the floor “You are fucking crazy, now let me go.”
They ignore you ”Iiit wil look sooo cute wen it's helled up, yoau think we culd give him mine next teime...if it's okay with you maybe?”
”Ah'll think bout it.”
Applejack unties the rope, Fluttershy hands you some blankets and then they leave while laughing and joking as if nothing bad happened.
...
After a few half hearted attempts to free yourself you give it up and wrap yourself in.
Even though your ass cheek hurts like hell you quickly fall asleep.

A few hours later you get gently shaken awake.
”Uh...Anon?” it's Applejack...
She frees you from the collar and shakes you a little rougher. You open your eyes.
Applejack still smells like alcohol, she has bags under her eyes and her hair is a mess. And she looks mighty embarrassed.
Awkward silence as you stare at her.
“...Apple-Jack.” you say.
As soon as you speak her name she is all over you. She touches and pats you everywhere like she tries to keep a snowman from melting, knowing it's not possible.
”Ah'm so sorry sugarcube, ah drank too much and everythin' jus' happened in a blur. Oh please tell me ah didn't hurt yer.”
This is ridiculous...
“How much did you drink?”
She looks around the place, deep in thought.
”Ah...dunno.”
You stand up and grab the now cold branding iron, presenting to her the end that forms the outline of her cutie mark.
“Do you remember this?”
She rubs the back of her neck even more embarrassed.
”Well...uh...kinda...ah'm so sorry Anon, ah didn't mean t'hurt yer.”
The branding she gave you isn't what you are angry about, it's the branding she gave to your house...
“Nevermind that, what else do you remember?”
”Uh, ah was drinkin' at the bar with Fluttershy and then we met Rainbow there, we all argued and drank a damn lot. The next thing ah remember is...well.”
She points at the iron.
Altough Applejack is the main suspect, you don't know for sure if she really was it. It could have been Rainbow or Fluttershy just as well.
“I just want to go...”
You want to say home, but knowing it doesn't exist anymore makes it feel wrong.
“...for a morning stroll, and I want you to tag along.” you say stern.
The things you grabbed before the fire did were your clothes, and they are here luckily.
As you walk the stairs up and outside you find yourself in the middle of the apple orchards.
“What IS this? Some kind of secret dungeon?”
”It's the cellar of one of our old barns, ah let it be 'cause...there's no reason t'wreck it.”

On the way back you try to get as much information out of her as possible, but she knows nothing more. You approach the site of your former house, on the paper it's still Pinkie's property...or was.
There is a small crowd gathered.
The house is nothing more than charcoal.
Fuck, where are you gonna sleep from now on?
All your friends and former friends are there.
Everyone was worried sick, the fact that you were nowhere to be found after the fire died down gave them the worst ideas. The reunion was heartwarming, hugs and all.

”You know, you are always welcome to stay in my library again.”
Oh god, better not...
”Oh, oh, oh, you can live with ME! We can share the room and sleep in the same bed and you can party with me all night long!”
She is probably the best friend you have at the moment...
”Or you can just ask me, dear. I'm sure I can spare a room.”
She is also still a good friend of yours...
”You can move in with me...I have plenty of room in my cottage...if you'd like that I mean.”
You'd probably get drugged again...
The four look at Rainbow Dash.
She just shrugs ”What? It's not like he can live with me in Cloudsdale, he's not a pegasus or a griffon.”
As expected she is still damn angry.
Twilight stands next to Applejack, she looks conflicted.
”What's the matter Applejack?” Twilight asks her.
”Ah don't think Anon wants t'live with me anymore.” she says frustrated.
”Why is that? Don't you have plenty of space at Sweet Apple Acres?”
”Ye, sure, but. Ah think t'was me.”
She can't be serious!
She covers her mouth with her stetson ”Ah bur-”
No time to think, you tackle her to the ground. She's as surprised as she can get.
You shout in an exaggerated act “What do you mean? I'm not a BUR-den, I'll help you where I can!”
All ponies are confused as you pull Applejack with you behind a corner quickly and shout-whisper at her “Are you still fucking drunk?! You can't tell them that you did it!”
”But t'was ME, ah can't lie to them, they're mah friends!”
You can't believe that the remaining 1% of you that still cares for the tan mare got the upper hand...
“Then shut up and leave that to me! You can't fucking tell them, Pinkie Pie will lynch you!”
You drag her back to the small crowd.
“So, yeah. Haha. Applejack is still angry at me, sorry about that, you don't have to be dragged into THAT.”
You give them the most innocent grin and a shrug you have, Rarity rolls her eyes and elicits a sigh...
”Okay, but where will you stay from now on?” Twilight asks.
“I can just rent something here in Ponyville, it's no big deal, I have some money left.”

Some smalltalk later Pinkie catches you on a lone moment as you dig through the charred remains of her house/your home.
”Anon, I'm so glad nothing happened to you!” she says serious.
Yeah, then take a look at my ass!
“You said that a thousand times now Pinkie. I'm sorry about the house, I must have left a candle burning somewhere, it's my fault.” you can't believe it, Applejack better has something good for up her sleeve to compensate you for all this...
Pinkie looks like in deep thought, then she jumps under your shirt and sticks her head out right in front of yours, her breath is sweet, must be all those candies.
”I have a IDEA!” you don't like that naughty giggling she does ”Sugarcube Corner sure is cramped, how sounds buying a house together? That way you can repay me half the house and the rest is payed in...massages...” she flutters her eyelids seductively and grins broad.
It doesn't sounds bad at all actually, except that she frames you fully for the burned house...
You take it, like a man, on the chin...
...
“Okay, we can do that.” you say after a long thinking pause.
”Okey-Dokey-Lokey! Meet me at Sugarcube Corner later!”
She speeds off like a rocket. There is still something you have to do.
You grab Fluttershy out of some bushes as she is watching you and carry her in your arms like a spouse.
”Oh Anon, not here.” she squirms lightly in your arms, but your stern expression makes her shut up. She knows what's coming...
Then you got to Rainbow Dash which is conveniently talking, or rather arguing, with Applejack. Fluttershy holds on to you as you try to put her back down.
Whatever.
“You three...”
One raised eyebrow from the tan mare, crossed arms and an angry look from the cyan Pegasus and Fluttershy just snuggles you some more. You are the seriousness in person.
“...I want to know what happened yesterday eveni-”
Rainbow suddenly has an expression like you caught her red handed with something real bad.
Suddenly she dashes right at you, a split second later you are spinning inside a mini rainbow tornado. Every orientation you ever had leaves the boat
Fluttershy screams/squeaks in your arms “AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!”
When you stop turning you are so disoriented you can't even sit. Rainbow is nowhere to be seen and Fluttershy also flees with numerous corkscrews in her flight path. You lie on the ground, it feel like the world is a rollercoaster.
”Anon? Yer okay sugarcube?”
“Uhhh, what was THAT?” you ask groggy
”Turns out t'was Rainbows idea, she didn't think we'd really pull it off though.”
“Applejack!” you say pleading.
”Huh?”
“How the hell am I supposed to EVER make up with her again?!”

Later that day:
You enter Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie jumps circles around you while talking happy gibberish. You pick her up in the middle of a jump and shake her like mad. She is like jelly, waves cascade along her body while she giggles nonstop!
”AhAhAhAhAhAnOhOhOhOhOn!”
When you think she had enough you hold her in your arms, she pants heavily from all the laughing.
Her light blue eyes, a little teary from your assault, stare at you. She lays an arm around your neck and pulls your faces a bit closer.
Those are definitely bedroom eyes...
Her second arm connects with the first behind your neck and her face comes closer slowly, but steadily.
You place your hand on her tummy and give her a little belly rub, at least that's what she perceives. You also keep her at distance like this.
“Pinkie, what about the house?” you ask after a little while.
That snaps her out of it!
”Oh! Yes! Follow me!”
Pinkie leads you to a casual Ponyville house, two minutes away from Sugarcube Corner. It has the typical timber-frame architecture and a distinct thatched roof and the upper floor is overhanging.
Altough it's a little bigger than the average houses...

“This is it?”
”Yep, it's peeeeerfect for the three of us!”
“Okay then, how much will wait a moment, three?”
You know that Pinkie is the chubbiest out of the mane six, but her figure is one of her weak spots, she'd never make a joke about it!
“Pinkie?”
”Hmm?”
You point at her.
“One.”
You point at yourself.
“Two.”
And raise a brow.
Pinkie points behind you.
”Three!” she says with a laugh.
You turn around, Mr. Greenhooves stops and looks at you puzzled.
You scream inside.
Your finger points at him and you give Pinkie an even more puzzled look.
”Not him you silly filly.”
She jumps on your back and points at a pony that walks towards you from behind Mr. Greenhooves, who is moving on, pulling his cart along.
”HER!” she almost shouts.
Wow, that mare is huge, she is even a little bigger than you. Her coat has a pale, light grayish gold, almost like your skin. Her mane & tail are striped cobalt and azure blue.
”Her name is Allie Way and she asked me for a place to live JUST AN HOUR AGO! Can you BELIEVE it?! The house would be a little too big and a little too expensive for just two, but with her it ALL adds up!”
You save your protests for after you meet her, maybe she is okay...

As Allie Way comes closer you can see her blue eyes and her cutie mark, three art deco stars, two pink and one blue, she also wears a black and purple themed shirt, oh, and she's a unicorn, almost missed that detail.
It's actually the first pony you see that wears clothes casually...
She comes to a halt right in front of you and extends a hoof, you grab it and give her a decent shake.
”Ah! Hello, I'm Allie Way, you must be Anonymous the human, right? Nice to meet you.”
Nice.
“That is right, I'm Anonymous, you can call me Anon. It's a pleasure to meet you.”
”Aaaaaaall riiiiiiight!” Pinkie cheers, “Let's go inside and SEAL the DEAL!”

Inside a serious business pony sits on a table, reading some papers. He looks up from them and eyes the three of you as you enter.
Apart from a single wooden table and a chair there is no furnishing.
”Alright Fillies and Gentlecolts, all I need are your signatures and the house is all yours.”
You still don't know how much it's gonna cost you...
He presents you three pieces of paper.
”I need your signatures on page 1, 3, 49, 310 and for page 666 I need your hoofprints in your own blood.”
“What?!” you say shocked.
”Aha! Only joking! Hahaha.” he stands up and laughs his ass off.
Pinkie giggles and pokes his stomach “That was a good one!”
The two of them laugh like there is no tomorrow. Allie Way and you look at each other with equally blank expressions. Somehow this makes you happy.
The realtor wipes a tear and clears his throat ”No really, there is only one page for each of you. Please make sure to read the contract before signing.”
The contract is easy to understand, actually it's little more than a declaration of consent that he will deduct the money over the course of two months.
And for buying a house it's damn cheap, your share is 220 bits in total. And you know what stetson wearing pony is gonna pay for it...

The next day comes quickly. Pinkie is the only one who has stuff that needs moving, neither Allie Way nor you have anything.
You walk around the house.
The upper floor has two large rooms and a bathroom, the ground floor is a kitchen-living room mix much like your/Pinkie's old house, except there is a junk room that Pinkie has already occupied with Party equipment.
You just hope she isn't going to overdo it with the parties.
But first problems first. There are only three rooms, and only two of them qualify...
”...as bedrooms, one is for Allie and the other one we will share.” Pinkie turns away, hiding her expression from you as she finishes the sentence.
There goes your privacy...
“Apropos Allie, did you really offer a complete stranger to live with us? I mean, I don't have a problem with her, but-”
”She's not a stranger! She was a guest at One-Hundred-Twenty-Two parties I threw until now. And this evening it's gonna be the One-Hundred-And-Twenty-Third time!”
“House warming party?” you ask bland.
”House warming party.” she says flat.
“Okay, but back to the matter at hand-”
Pinkie interrupts you ”You mean at HOOF!”
She jumps up and gestures you to follow.

Destination: Bedroom.
You expected a fancy pink and tawdry room, but it looks quite acceptable.
No balloons, no lollypop wallpaper and no streamers flying around. Pinkie jumps on the huge bed, oh god, it's huge!
You've never seen her this shy ”I tried to furnish it in your taste, although I don't know what you like...”
She scrunches her face and looks at you with big blue eyes, you can see a light blush...
Oh god, the cuteness, it's killing you!
The huge bed is two-colored, split in the middle. One side is obviously meant for Ms. Pie and the other, less colorful side is probably yours.
She really put effort into it.
You sigh “Alright.”
Pinkie explodes with joy.
Well, at least that solves some minor issues...

-Afternoon-
The party is great. You chit-chat a little with Rarity while drinking punch.
But there are two factors that unnerve you:
1. The punch is full of alcohol.
2. Applejack has her fifth cup of punch.
3. Applejack is talking idly with Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and even Twilight.
They glance over to you occasionally and giggle.

Pinkie is trying to get Allie to dance, she is much more antisocial than you expected. But that's not a problem, many expectations weren't met today. Maybe if you expect Applejack to assault you, she will, in a magical way, not do it?
Yeah, dream on.

Pinkie comes over to you ”Hey Anon! Enjoying yourself?”
“It's hard to not do that on one of YOUR parties.” you give her the pistols.
”Oh you're such a sweet talker. Could you please please please dance with Allie? She's anxious about embarrassing herself. I'll also ask Twilight!”
That pone...
You look over to Allie, she sure looks reluctant, even though there are lots of ponies already dancing.
Oh shit, Lyra dances on two legs, that looks hilarious!
“Okay, why don't you get everyone? That way I don't embarrass myself so much.”
”Okey-Dokey-LOKEY!”
You grab Allie and drag her in the middle of the dancing crowd.
”No! No! No! I never danced before! I'm going to make myself a laughing stock!” she says desperate.
Pinkie pops up “There's nothing bad about making ponies laugh, TRY IT!”
You swear you saw Allie dance at several occasions in the past...
Anyway, you start. Allie works hard on suppressing her laughter shortly after.
Then you make one of your super combos and she can't hold it in.
“Come on, dance. Or I'll do it again!” you threaten her.
And that's the story of how you got Allie to dance. Weird, she doesn't dance half bad. In contrary to you of course, every pony that looks at you has at least a huge smug grin on their faces.
If you could get convicted for bad dancing, you'd be on the moon for a millennium in no time!
But you can't, so you don't give a fuck.

Allie is now enjoying herself greatly.
Berry Punch is doing her drunken Master dance style.
Where is...?
Twilight isn't dancing, weird, she likes dancing. She sits on the sidelines and is deep in thought, brooding over something. She isn't even laughing one bit when she sees you.
You dance your way over to her “Hey Twilight, what's wrong? Don't wanna dance? Maybe you can teach me a move or two?”
She frowns.
“Twilight?” you ask her and stop dancing.
She nods to Allie ”I don't like her Anon, she seems weird. She is giving me the creeps.”
“Allie? What do you mean? She's just a little anxious, give her a chance.”

Twilight doesn't want to, she tells you that she has a real bad feeling about her, what a party pooper...
Later every pony that stayed got smashed like usual, it's like an unwritten law. Berry is a feisty one!
Surprisingly, Applejack gives you just a long intimate hug and takes her leave.
Pinkie is sleeping on the table, Allie didn't drink and found retreat in her room before it got out of hand.
Lyra and Bon Bon are sleeping in the corner.
Berry is sprawled out in the middle of the room where the dancefloor was.
Even Nurse Redheart, you place her on the couch, for old times sake.
Just good you kept it low with the drinking, looking all over the place, you feel like an asshole for just making Redheart comfortable.
You know, you have a reeeeeeeally huge bed again...
That could earn you some small favors maybe...
15 minutes later you lay down, you spoon your favorite nurse in a bed filled with drunken ponies.
Just as planned...

09 - Chrysalis Begins

Time goes by.
Winter Wrap Up was really cool!
Applejack was happy to pay compensation for the house burning incident in form of paying for this house. You are still damn angry at her though.
In the last few weeks you got some letters from Spitfire!
She just wants to check up on you, something about being the only one of your kind and stuff like that, she's really cool.
Allie never really warmed up to you and Pinky, she is still awkward and has a weird air of superiority, but you blame her size for that.

Today, there is a new letter, it has a royal seal!
Pinkie is out and Allie is in her room again, you hear weird sounds from in there sometimes, neither you nor Pinkie have seen the insides of it since she moved in, and Pinkie can't get inside despite her mad skills...you brush it off as just weird...
It's not like Allie is unpleasant in any kind of way, you actually like her a little. But she is barely seen.

You spy around as you sit on the table, a letter from royalty usually means great honor or great trouble.
You break the seal and read it:

'Dear Anonymous...bla bla bla...Applejacks letter to me about what happened with the house...bla bla bla...we appreciate greatly that you protected her...bla bla bla...kept the integrity of the Elements of harmony...wish you to accompany Twilight on her next trip to Canterlot for a meeting. Yours sincerely, Princess Celestia.'

Wow, great honor.
Success!
You go to the library and tell Twi, she just okay's you and you leave before you interrupt another masturbation session of hers.

You hang out with Derpy...and get dirty. Like always when you keep her company. You still figure out her curse, but Twilight's books don't help much, maybe you can ask Celestia about curses, someone who is several thousand years old just HAS TO know something about it!
When you get home you fill the big bathtub with water, a hot bath is just what you need!
It felt like you have less and less energy day by day, like something is wearing you out...
You grab one of the numerous candies and nom away at it, one of the perks of living with Pinkie: There is always candy!
Then you get into the bubble bath. You LOVE bubble baths!
As you get into the tub you see a slightly pink gust of air passing you and diving into the water.
Pinkie Pie...
“Oh boy, I would love to bath with Pinkie, but sadly I have to do it alone, it makes me so sad.” you say out loud in an exaggerated act, then you get naked and into the tub.
The hot water feels great as it envelopes you, and as expected you feel something swimming towards you from the far side of the tub slowly. Suddenly a pink fin pokes out of the water.

(For best effect listen to this while reading on: Click! )

Something unknown closes in on you, you can feel it.
Something terrible.
Something unstoppable.
A force of nature.
A reality defying monstrosity.
You move your legs in its way, but like water itself it just flows around them.
There won't be any escape if THAT gets you! And you know it!
Now it's at your knees, you feel it brushing against your thighs. You try to grab it with your hands but you only touch water.
Out of fear your dick slowly hardens.
The creature is now touching your balls, you still can't see it.
You try to move but it has already its clutches upon you.
Slowly it starts rubbing you to full erectness, you have no way of defending yourself!
You are at its mercy!
What if you won't survive this?
You've encountered it before, countless times, its hunger is insatiable. You give it a finger and it takes not just your arm, it takes you entirely!
All you can do is watch as it moves under the layer of bubbles, this freak of nature is dangerous and incredibly ferocious once it tasted blood, there is no halt once it starts. No possibility of stopping it.
Trying to reason with it only angers it, leading to an even worse fate.
Its victims are never to be seen again, only small parts of them strewn around in the vicinity.
Now it bites down on your dick, taking a good long lick before devouring it completely. It even stuffs it down its throat before biting it off, playing with its prey amuses it.
You can't do anything but endure it, hoping for mercy and forgiveness.
It keeps doing that for some time, suddenly it breaks the water and it's terrible crooked claws and fangs-

You grab her head and give her a kiss that blows her mind.
She pulls back “Anon! You have to stay in character!” she says sulky, slightly out of breath.
“I don't get it Pinky, can't we just do it like always?” you ask her.
“No, you disappoint the readers!” she says while pointing at YOU, but can't keep from laughing as you turn her around and rub her all over.
“What? Readers? I don't understand, what do you mean?”
She sometimes confuses you tremendously...
“Hmm, nevermind, let's just...” she doesn't care to finish the sentence as you reach for her snatch and push an finger inside.
She giggles in anticipation as you position her for the main event. You hug her from behind and penetrate her until you hilt in one go. Her moans are music to your ears and you want to get more of it!
You pump her tender at first and pick up the pace when she demands “Faster!”
Eventually she orgasms, her crazy contractions working on your member heavenly.
You are not done though and so you give her a second round.
This time her orgasm drives you over the edge, you stuff her full with your seed, she spins around 180º and together you slide neck deep into the water while giving each other kisses all over.

Suddenly you feel a suspiciously warm jet of water hitting your pelvis. You stiffen a little, just enough for Pinky to notice. The jet weakens for a moment, but then it comes back in full force with an satisfied “Ahhhhhh.” from Pinkie.
Oh please, not again.
Ms. Pie looks mighty ashamed when she notices that you caught her.
“Pinkie...are you...peeing?”
She cuddles against you and averts her eyes “It's just...tooooo relaxing.” she stares at you with huge, innocent blue eyes as she finishes that sentence.
No way you can be mad at her!
But you pull out the cork with a foot anyway and let the water drain...
Then you hose you both down with the shower head.

That's what your days are like for a few months...
One day you return from shopping. When you come back Pinkie is cooking something.
You try to sneak up on her, but you suck at sneaking. She pretends to not have noticed you yet.
”Ah! Oh no, where have I put the SUGAR!” she says exaggerated.
She opens the lowest drawer and lifts her ass up, wiggling it from side to side.
Her tail does nothing to hide her puffy vagina.
You grab her flank on both sides and massage her cheeks, being rewarded with a moan.
She isn't wet, so you don't expect immediate action, but a little teasing is always appropriate...
Instead you lean over her, rubbing your crotch against her ass cushions, and give her a few kisses here and a little ear nibbles there while hugging her from behind.
She wiggles around in your arms and her big green eyes shine beautifully, warming your very soul with love.
You never want to let go of her.
She is a drug and you are the addict.
And you love it!
Pinkie's black, gnarled horn emanates a green light. Her magic makes you feel whole.
But it's also very tiresome, you could fall asleep every second but the sight of a blush on her black coat is worth it.
You stroke her cheek lovingly and earn a smile. Her beautiful razor sharp teeth with the protruding canines are flashed.
Then she goes for a kiss. You feel her tongue in your mouth and fight back. She pushes your head into hers hard and once again she cuts your tongue with her teeth.
Pinkie likes her kisses bloody...
It's not your fetish, but if it makes her happy, so it does you.

Waaaaaaait a moment!
Pinkie never forgets where she puts the sugar!
You break the kiss and push her away, you're not upset you can't be upset at whoever that is!
“Who ahh hoo? Chit, mah tongue!” you try to speak, but your tongue hurts pretty good.
She has the size of Allie, but doesn't look like her at all!
She looks shocked ”You're not supposed to break the spell just like that!”
Who the hell is that?
“What? Sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Fuck, why did you have to bite my tongue damnit.”
She narrows her big green eyes ”Are you not afraid of me?”
She isn't half as frightening as Gilda was!
Sure, she looks unlike any pony you've ever seen, but you still have to meet a pony that isn't a mary sue...
“Why would I? Apart from my bitten tongue you haven't done much yet...is there a reason I should be?”
You are way too tired to be angry anyway.
”No!” she says hastily ,her eyes dart around the room.
You have seen her somewhere before, but where?...
“Don't I know you from somewhere?” you ask.
She shakes her head frantically “Nononononono!”

She shushes you, lays one of her holey legs around your neck and crouches down with you.
”Listen Anon, Iiiiiiii'm...an undercover agent. My specialty are disguises and no pony may ever know my real identity.”
“Which is?”
”Shhh, top secret.”
She has a grin that stretches from one ear to the other.
“So what are you doing in my house then? And why did I think you were Pinkie?”
”Hehe, our house, THIS is my alias.”
Green fire burns along her body, leaving her a completely different pony.
“YOU are Allie Way?” you say shocked!
”Yes, but psshhh. It is crucial that no pony EVER knows this, can I trust you with this secret? Otherwise your dear princesses would become really angry with YOU, now would they?”
That sure sounds ridiculous, but they have special forces like the Wonderbolts, why not some commandos? Of course no one would know them...
You have your doubts though, this sounds fishy “Can you prove this? It sounds a little...”
”...far-fetched? Officially I don't exist, even the princesses would deny my existence or tell lies, that's part of my cover of course. And for the prove, follow me.” she says peculiar.
Not sure if trustworthy...
You follow though, she is Allie Way and Allie Way never gave you trouble, hell, she even encouraged you to go into a full blown, loving relationship with Pinkie Pie. She at least deserves that you hear her out!
You follow her into her room, it's the first time you see it from inside since you moved in. It's...different.
There are weird green plant-like tubes, one of them has an opening big enough for pseudo Allie to fit in.
“Is that your bed?” there is nowhere else one could sleep...
“Ah! Yes, would you mind sitting down on it? It's quite comfortable...”
You comply, curious what she might show you.

Her 'bed' is soft, the plant-like structure looks damp, but it isn't. Pseudo Allie stands in front of you.
Even her hair has holes...
She thinks hard, probably thinking about how to convince you.
She attempts to start talking, but every time she stops herself, it must be a hard decision. You wait patiently, even leaning back on her weird bed, it's damn comfy!
Then she finally speaks up “I changed my mind.” she says more to herself than to you.
“Are you sure?” you ask her while closing one eye and rubbing your chin.
She shakes her head a little “Not about convincing you, sit up at least.”
You do, somehow you feel a weird urge to obey her...
“But you need to open your mind for me if you want me to convince you.” she almost can't suppress her laughter...she must be damn happy to share what she is going to show you!
Awesome!
Maybe you can boast in front of Dash and make her listen to you!
“How do I...open...my mind?” you ask puzzled.
She seems ecstatic “Do you feel threatened? If so it won't work...”
“Are you my friend?
“Of course!” she says with wide eyes and a happy smile...a little too happy, but what the hell do you know.
“Then just tell me what do to, I'm ready, throw it at me!”
She stops you “Ah! Ah! Ah! Not like this, you need to relax. Calm down, think of something peaceful. If you have any negative emotions, it also won't work.”
“Okay.” you say, then think about cuddling with Pinkie in bed. Damn relaxing.
Then she continues “Try to empty your mind, don't form words in your head and embrace darkness. But keep looking at me, would you?”
It's a tiny bit unsettling, but you try your best...darkness she said. You look her in the eyes calm, it's kind of hard but you get the hang of it slowly.

After ten minutes of her giving you tips on how to achieve a serene mind you think you get it for a second.
At exactly this moment her horn lights up with green flames and her eyes become all glowy.
She keeps doing that and then you notice it, you can't form words in your mind anymore and you can't do anything.
You are trapped in this state!
You can practically feel her roaming free in your mind, looking at your thoughts like pictures.
You want to panic, but you can't.
You want to get away, but you can't

Her name is Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis, and you will trust her.

What was that? Oh god, make it stop!
You see her grin, it's the biggest and most evil grin you've ever seen!
She grins so hard that her black gums are visible, not to mention those razor sharp teeth and fangs. Her brows are furrowed at maximum possibility.
“It's so long since I could do this last, I can't believe you fell for it.” she says inside your mind.
It's unnerving, but you can't even blink...
She is looking at your memories “Oh, that pesky Twilight has some perverted books, didn't know that. I'll make sure to bother her a little with that later...”
Is there nothing you can do?!
“Applejack and Fluttershy hmm? Maybe I can disrupt the elements their friendship a little with that...”
You need to get away! HELP! ANYONE!
She moves on to parts of your mind you don't know “Oh, what's that? Something dangerous?”
Dangerous? If you could perceive fear right now, you would.
“Hmm, let's see if I can't...no, I'll just remove it. You don't need that anymore.”
Suddenly her face makes a pained expression, she struggles with something.

You feel a sensation of loss and suddenly it stops.
The first thing you do is blink, then you jump up. All the emotions that were blocked out run through you in full force now.
Chrysalis is on the floor, but is staggering to her feet already with a grin “Ah! Did you know that there was a worm in your mind? A very bad and naughty worm?”
You are not only in panic, but now you are also confused beyond possibility “What the fuck are you talking about, what the fuck are you? What did you do to me?!”
She smirks once more “You should be thanking me, you would have been murdering your friends very soon if not for me...now-”

The door springs open and Pinkie Pie jumps in “Anon! You're in danger! I had a shoulder-achy and a ear-twitchy and a kneeAHHHH!” she spots Chrysalis!
Twilight and the rest of the elements follow her inside Allie's room and see her also.
Chrysalis is between you and the elements.
Twilight demands “Give it up Chrysalis! I knew it was you on first sight! I am prepared!”
The changeling Queen turns to you, you get goosebumps all over.
She makes a hop to get close to you, takes your head in her hooves and forces you into eye contact.
You would fight back, but you trust her.
Wait, what?!

Her horn fires up and her eyes glow again and the world around you melts away, a pleasant buzzing of insect wings is ever present.
Your heartbeat accelerates as she becomes your world, she is everything that you need and want. The background turns into a black nothing and she is all you can set your eyes on.
It's not what she did before, you can move and talk, look around and feel emotions, but right now you feel only the good ones...
You say words, but you don't even feel the vibrations in your throat.
“What is happening?”
When you extend your arm, you see that there is none, not even a body, there is only her. And she emanates a pleasant green warmth, like a sun but not burning you.
You haven't seen Celestia doing something this rad!
You feel ecstatic beyond reason.
You just want more!

Slowly the worlds fades back, the light of the day slowly creeps back into your eyes.
You want more of that, now that it's over you realize how pleasant that was. You want more, you'd do everything to get more of that!
When everything is back to normal she looks at you expectantly, then whispers into your ear “Meet me at Ghastly Gorge in ten days!”

Then Chrysalis herself starts to fade, like a chameleon she merges with the background.
Gone.

You are swarmed by the six mares after they made sure Chrysalis is gone for real.
Except Rainbow, you can't believe she is still pissed at you...
Pinkie hugs you tight.
Twilight says worried “Anon, did she do something to you?!”
“What the hell have you done?!” you shout at her angrily.
That earned you several sighs, facehooves and disappointed frowns.
”Yeah she did.” Applejack says flat.
Twilight looks at you seriously, “Anon, Chrysalis is NOT your friend! She is Celestia's arch-nemesis and a changeling!”
Moments later you are tied to a chair.
”Okay, you girls keep him from doing anything stupid, I'm going to write a letter to the princess right away, she needs to know that Chrysalis is back AND in Ponyville IMMEDIATELY!”
You protest “Come on, untie me, what the hell? I get it already that that changeling lied to me, but did you really need to frighten her away?”
Oh god, now that it's over, you want more of what she did last! That was pure bliss!
”No can do, sugarcube. Chrysalis once put a spell on Twilight's brother, he had delusions f'two months.”
Applejack turns around “Listen gals, ah can take care of him until we have a plan. If he gets violent mah brother McIntosh can help.”
“Violent?!” you spit that word out.
Fluttershy hugs you from behind “Yes, Shining Armor became really angry sometimes, that was reaaaaally scary. But we will take good care of you.”
No! Not Fluttershy! ANYONE but NOT HER!
Applejack's idea is accepted, much to your displeasure, and you are soon after carted to Sweet Apple Acres.

“This really isn't necessary, I'm not going to do anything. Come on, stop it, it isn't funny anymore. Aaaaaapplejack, please.”
Applejack looks at you, the hairs on your neck stand up for a moment. She looks downright evil.
“...A-Applejack?”
The delusions!
FUCK!
You are placed in the barn, never left alone. Twilight visits you later.
”Okay Anon, Celestia will send help, until then you just have to hold out. I'm sorry, but we just don't know what else to do. Can I help you in any way?”
“Applejack has OH GOD CHRYSALIS!!!” for a moment you see her standing there, but she is gone in an instant.
”Yes.” she says with her ears laid back “Those are the delusions Anon, you will see her for as long as you are addicted. She did that to you to make you follow her! It will get worse, but after that it gets better!”
“Only Chrysalis?” you ask her.
Twilight thinks.
”Well, that's what my brother saw. Maybe there are other side-effects, changeling magic isn't exactly very well studied.”
“I want to see Pinkie, where is she?” you really want to see her.
“She'll visit you soon, don't worry.”
“Twilight, Chrysalis did something else to me before you barged in. I don't know what she did, but she said something about me killing my friends!”
She makes a scrunchy face “Hmm, I don't know. This would be the first time she did something like this. Think about it and tell me more tomorrow, I need to talk with Mayor Mare right away. We might face another changeling invasion.”
She turns around and is about to leave.
“Twilight!” you call out to her
she just replies with a ”Hmm?”
“Can you tell Pinkie that...nevermind.”
“Well, okay, see you tomorrow.”
With that, Twilight leaves.

Applejack reties you so that only your hands are tied in front of you, and you need them. Big McIntosh brings a table and chairs, the final meal of the day is held in the barn with AJ, Big Mac, Applebloom and Granny Smith.

Big Mac and AJ sit close to you, otherwise it's quite enjoyable, and apart from Applebloom's stupid questions...
Applejack keeps you company until bed time, you play some boardgames with her to kill the time.
“So, why don't you chain me up in your secret cellar out in the orchards?” you ask her.
”Now don't be silly sugarcube, that place doesn't exist, not officially at least. Maybe later...”
“Later?”
She starts looking creepy again ”Don't act dumb, yer must had at least yer suspicions.”
“Aha! YOU are Chrysalis!”
Her hoof meets her face. She brings you some blankets and pillows and the night is spent comfortably.

The next day consists of Twilight performing some magic on you. Pinkie keeps you as much company as possible, but even she has responsibilities, otherwise it's mostly boring when no one is visiting.
The day passes and the evening comes, Applejack attaches a rope to you without a word and drags you outside.
It's dark already.
“Where are we going?” you ask her.
”We're gonna have some fun sugarcube.”
“What do you mean?”
”Yer'll see.”

She drags you out in the orchards. You don't like this.
Not one bit.
You start pulling on the rope “Applejack, let's go back please. I have a bad feeling about this.”
She gives a strong pull back ”Now don't be a spoil sport, ah'm sure yer'll like yer surprise.”
Reluctantly you tag along, maybe these delusions are playing tricks on your mind? It's a shitty feeling to know that your mind got fucked...

Applejack leads you to her secret dungeon, the doors are already open and light shines outside.
This place can't be seen from the house...it's too far in the orchards.
You stop at the entrance, someone is down there already. Applejack gives you a hard push and you fall down the stairs painfully.
You hit your elbows and knees on the stone floor painfully.
“Ow, what the fuck, Applejack?!”
She follows inside and closes the doors behind her, locking them with a padlock.
She has that evil expression again...
You look around to figure out what's happening, actually you already know, but you don't want to believe it!
Everything was okay between you after the house burning incident! Why now?!
Because no one will believe you dumbass...
You spy Fluttershy rummaging through a bag and Rainbow Dash is leaning against a wall with a barely suppressed grin.
”Yer surprise Anon, ah convinced Rainbow t'give yer a chance.”
Fluttershy squeaks in delight as she pulls a ring-gag out of the bag along with a assortment of vials in various colors and holds them up triumphantly.
“Wait, you can't do this, Rainbow, come on. Please help me!”
This can't be happening!
Rainbow walks in front of you “And the best thing: Nopony is going to believe you if you spill the beans. But that doesn't mean you won't get punished if you do...”
AJ grabs your head and pulls you on your knees, Fluttershy puts the ring-gag on you and gives you a messy probing kiss.
This is going to be bad...

10 - How To Tame A Griffon

Applebloom and Big McIntosh wake you up early in the morning.
”Wake up Anon, yer have to see this.” Applebloom squeaks full of energy.
They untie you...you don't care what could excite her like this. You are just happy to be out of this nightmare, two weeks of being Applejack's, Rainbow's and Fluttershy's plaything.
Finally over.
They accompany you on your way back to Ponyville, Pinkie will be more than happy to see you, and so are you.
You don't dare watch back, in fear that Sweet Apple Acres pulls you back...you know it's ridiculous, but you can't fight the feeling.
Never will you set a foot on this cursed land again, not if you have a choice!
All the time you know that Applejack is watching you from there, you can almost see her grin...

Applebloom points to the skies every now and then, you don't give a fuck though.
”Look Anon, Anon, yer not lookin'!” she tries to draw your attention.
She tugs on your shirt and jumps around you. For the sake of your peace of mind, you take a look.
There are some huge birds, no wait.
...could it be...
”Look Anon, griffons!” she clarifies.
Big McIntosh just adds an "Eeeyup."
Griffons!
Fuck yeah!
Maybe there are news from Gilda?!
Finally, a grin forms on your face after a what feels like an eternity.
“Griffons.” you say more to yourself “Why are they here?”
Applebloom answers ”Ah dunno, let's ask Twilight!”

You part ways with the red stallion and the two of you hurry to the library.
Royal guards are stationed everywhere.
They really don't like changelings it seems, funny, in the brief moment you met Chrysalis she didn't strike you as a bad character...
Except for lying maybe, but she had good reasons!
Whatever.

The library is full of mountains of paper, Twilight is somewhere dug in in there.
“Twilight?!” you shout out.
A huge unicorn emerges, he has the stature of McIntosh and wears royal armor.
”You must be Anonymous, at last we meet. I a-”
He tips a mountain of neatly arranged papers, it topples over and falls, taking a few others with it.
For a second there is silence as he watches them fall in unbelieving. He bites his lower lip concerned and his eyes dart around the room.
”SHINING ARMOR!!!” the voice shrieks so loud it hurts in your ears.
Twilight teleports herself into your view ”That was the last time! You are not allowed in MY library until this is OVER!” she points to the door, her face red with anger.
He makes a face and leaves “Talk to you later human.”

Twilight is still raging, her chest heaves up and down heavily. You hurry to her side and stroke her a little here and there in an attempt to calm her.
It works, of course it works, it always works. Your hands are magic!
”Oh Anon, there is so much work and so little time.” she whines.
Her horn glows in an pale grayish purple and her magic rearranges the papers.
”Good to see that you are not under Chrysalis's spell anymore.”
Then you ask “What's going on? Applebloom and I wanted to ask you about the griffons.”
You point to Applebloom casual, then continue “Is it the changelings?”
Twilight just nods. She gestures you and Applebloom to sit on the table and she gets something to drink.
“I understand the royal guards, but what are Griffons doing here?” you ask.
”It's complicated...see, when the changelings attacked us once in Canterlot, we were overpowered within moments. Celestia used that opportunity to improve our relation with the griffons.”
Sounds intricate.
“Politics? During a possible invasion? I don't get it.”
She rolls her eyes ”Seesh Anon, they are here to help us still. They are our allies, there is little that is stronger than a griffon when it comes to a fight with no rules, even a minotaur pales in comparison.”
A minotaur?
“Isn't a minotaur like...three times as strong as a griffon?!”
Her mouth makes a perfectly straight line ”Can a minotaur fly? Does a minotaur have claws? Does a minotaur know how mathematics is even spelled? Does a-”
You cut her off “Okay okay, I get it...sooo...”
”Yes Anon, Gilda is with them.”
Yessssss!
”But she is busy, you may not believe it, but she is some kind of flight leader, or some other kind of a leading role. You have to ask herself when she has time, I haven't seen her yet.” she says disinterested.
You hug Twilight and leave with a grin on your face.

Not only do you like Gilda, she will also keep Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow at bay! After what you just have been through, this luck seems just!
There is a swarm of five griffons in the sky in a V formation, they just patrol over Ponyville.
Twilight and Applebloom follow you outside ”Anon, wait, that's not all.”
You just got enough good news to make you happy for the rest of the year, is there more? “Can it get any better?”
Twilight has a snug grin ”Certainly. The griffons that are here are not a military group or something like that, they are a colony. That's what I meant with the relations, a permanent settlement of griffons here in Equestria can be seen as a great sign of trust between the two nations.”
Gilda will stay?
“Twilight, I could marry you right here and now for what you just said.”
”Anon...don't joke about that...” she says sheepishly.
But you have other thoughts “Where do they live? Where have they settled down? How many griffons are there?”
Twilight points to the steep mountain that pokes a hole in the clouds.
Shit, that's way too far...and high...
“At the...base...of the mountain???” please?
She shakes her head.
Well, you can't have ALL the luck in Equestria...
“How many are there?”
She thinks a moment ”Three swarms, or flocks or whatever they call themselves, with about 20 to 40 members each. In total there are about a little more than one-hundred of them.”
Better see Pinkie right away!
“Okay, thank you Twilight, thanks a lot. I need to...make preparations.”
Bullshit, you just want to bury your face in a pillow and squee for the rest of the day like a little girl, but as a man you can't really do that of course.

You run home, it's the first time since two weeks that you enter your home.
It's a fucking mess!
Pinkie really can't keep tidy...
Pinkie ate all of the fridges contents and spread leftovers everywhere...
Pinkie threw all the furniture around...
Pinkie left...big scratches marks everywhere...
Pinkie...left some of her...feathers lying around...
Pinkie...is...

Looks like griffons ravaged the place...
You flip the couch back on its feet and clean some food residues from the walls.
Pinkie Pie enters!
She jumps up and makes a reality defying happy face as she sees you, then hugs you in the same second.
After some urgently needed cuddling she looks around ”Anon, what happened here? Did you throw a secret party WITHOUT ME?!”
Like that is even possible...a party without Pinkie...ridiculous!
“No, I just came. It looks like griffon handiwork, and it looks like they were looking for something.”
”Or somepony!” she wiggles her eyebrows.
Gilda never did something like that “Did they have to make such a mess?! I hope this isn't a habit of them.”
After a brief hour of cleaning up, mixed with a few pink smooching attacks, it looks like new.

You go in search of food, it's almost noon and you haven't eaten yet, Pinkie tags along and you have a sugary lunch at Sugarcube Corner. After that you separate.
Thinking back, Gilda always found you, not the other way around.

You walk in the direction of the lake, sharp griffon eyes can't overlook you there.
You wonder what kind of leader Gilda is, sounds awesome!
You are still her...eh...kuga, or whatever it was called...trophy wife, that was so embarrassing shit back then.
Well, it still is...
You wonder if she changed, it's been roughly half a year, she can be THAT different. But damn, a flock of 20 to 40 members? Back then Rainbow and you were the only ones in her flock, it must have been a stellar career for her...

Just as you leave the fringes of Ponyville you can already see a few griffons circling you above.
There comes the downside, you feel like prey again...
As soon as there is a good distance between you and Ponyville the griffons fly lower. You wonder if one of them is Gilda!
Then you see one of them dive for you. Gilda always liked to do that, and then she lands right in front of you with a-
CRASH!
The griffon tackles her shoulder into you painfully with full speed. You slide over the grass and can't breath for a few seconds. Then curl into a fetal position, holding your stomach as you wheeze and gasp for air.
What the fuck was that shit?!
You get on all fours as breathing becomes possible again ever so slowly, looking around for the crazy griffon.
It's not Gilda, this one is smaller and looks like the casual fucking crazy bitch, the tint around her eyes and her feather-tips has a very dark orange.
She comes closer “Come on, put up a fight, it's no fun like this.”
Between your wheezing you push out a few words “...fuck...you...”
Mistake.
She jumps on your back, pressing you to the ground. Then she grabs your head in one of her talons and pushes your face into the earth hard while stabbing your back with her knee.
You scream in pain and try to struggle. It feels like she is about to sever your spine!

”Want to add something, asshole?” she drills her knee a little harder, making you answer in a pain induced scream.
“Stop! I'm sorry!”
She lifts your head and bangs it into the ground, then releases you. You roll around in pain, awkwardly holding the spot on your back.
There is a second griffon, also female, but much bigger and also not Gilda. She just watched the whole ordeal, her tail swishes from side to side joyfully and a pleased grin sits broad on her face.
Shit, where is Gilda?

They wait until your pain subsides and you stand up. Suddenly you don't want to be here anymore, if there are more Griffons like that, you don't like the idea of them living here anymore...they're probably some bullies.
The bigger griffon walks up to you, her color tint is a light yellow and she looks pretty buff. She grabs you by the neck and rips your shirt down without hesitation.
Damn shit, that was a present from Rarity!
“Hey! What the fu-” A punch to the gut stops your protest, along with your breathing rhythm...
”I'm not as forgiving as Frida, so watch your tongue you prick.” she hisses into your ear angrily.
The bulky griffon inspects the scar that Gilda once gave you, then looks to Frida “It's him.”
She answers cheeky ”Of course he is, there is only one of his kind Brynja, I told you.”
You want to get away from them, you grab the talon's arm that encloses your entire neck and yank her away from you.
It doesn't work...
She tightens her grip slowly but steadily, just as slowly and steadily as anger forms on her face. Brynja forces you on your knees and soon you can't breath.
“What did I say fucker?!” her voice is calm yet angry.
Judging from the sound of her voice, you are sure that she is going to kill you.
She pushes her thumb down on your throat, making breathing impossible.
A minute passes.
The edges of your vision darken and you have to fight to keep your eyes open.
Fuck.
This is bad, it doesn't looks like as if she is going to let go anytime soon...then Frida intervenes “Enough Brynja, Gilda will kill you if you damage him too much.”
Brynja loosens her grip with a growl. Sweet air fills your lungs as you gasp for air, is she naturally that angry?
A final growl and she pushes you away, sending you on your ass, then she flies off.
Frida throws an arm around you and grins while touching your face with her free talon all over.
”You're lucky that you're Gilda's, Brynja killed for less...much less.”
The small griffon uses you as a rampart and follows Brynja.
Better remember that name...
Before any more griffons get a funny idea you hurry back into Ponyville and spend the rest of the day in as much company as possible.
You have a bad feeling about this...

The next day comes, you don't want to leave the house, you don't even want to leave your bed. Pinkie does that though and suddenly you don't feel safe anymore.
Fuck, what are you? A pussy?
You get up. There is mail, a letter for you.
There is only your name on it, not even a proper address:

'Dear Anonymous, the next time we meet, I will gouge your fucking eyes out and eat your heart. -Brynja'

A knot forms in your stomach, there is a griffon in front of your window.
A griffon with an evil grin.
Brynja.
She must have waited for you to get your mail...
Don't. Give. Her. A. Fucking. Reason.
You watch, frozen in place, as she opens the door and comes inside, not sure how to react. You couldn't see much of her yesterday, she is not only bigger than Gilda was back then, but she also has visibly more muscle mass.
You were no match for her back then, you don't want to think about what Brynja can do to you. She could probably rip Big McIntosh apart without much effort.
Brynja flicks a few plates and vases to the ground, shattering them, while walking to you casually. Obviously very provocative...
She wants a reason, but you won't give her one.
You stand up, feigning calmness “Look Brynja, I think we had a bad start, maybe we ca-”
She grabs your ankle and pulls your leg towards her, making you fall to the ground harsh.
Her expression is full of anger again ”Just shut the fuck up!”
She pulls you close, lets go of you and positions herself right above you. You are now face to face with her.
”What is it that makes you appealing to Gilda?” her voice is an angry whisper now ”She bragged about defeating a great warrior, all I see is a puny whimp.”
Her entire body stiffens for a second.
Then she brings her fist down hard next to your face “Answer!” she shouts in your face.
That could have caved in your skull...
“It's gone. I can't even remember that anymore, please, don't kill me.” you spurt out.
She slumps down on her elbows, her beak touches the tip of your nose ”Then what do you do? Are you at least trying to be strong?!”
What does she want from you?!
“No, I'm working at the Day Spa. I prepare herb baths, massage people and give manicures!”
She thinks hard “But that doesn't make sense, if you don't even try to be a great warrior, how can you survive?”
She must have spent her life in the wilderness...
“We are apparently at a cultural conflict here Brynja, in Equestria, people don't have to fight for survival. How about I show you how to relax and you can tell me all about what you do back home? I'm sure you killed some dangerous beasts.”
Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!!!
”Hrmpfh...okay, Gilda told us to be open for stuff like that. But if you try ANYTHING...” her thumb draws a along her neck.
You add hastily “Okay, got it. You're the boss.”
This pleases Brynja. Oh god, thank you deity of the griffons, I owe you!

Brynja yanks you up on your feet.
“Okay, I'll just put on some clothes...upstairs.” you say carefully.
Brynja follows your every step, watching your every move, fortunately you already relieved yourself.
A two minute walk later you arrive at the Day Spa, not much going on here. The Spa Ponies greet you, but their initial enthusiasm dies down as they spot the brawny griffon with the mean look on her face.
“Hey girls, this is Brynja, a friend of mine.” you pray inside that she isn't going to drive her talons through your head for that.
Brynja stands next to you, she raises an arm and-
Fuuuuuuuck!
Puts it around your shoulder, then squeezes you a few times and gives you a broad grin.
Maybe she isn't so bad once you get to know her...

You point at Brynja.
“Griffons.”
You point at yourself.
“On my tab.” you say jokingly.

You place the big girl on a lounger as you prepare a bath.
You start the conversation “So, tell me, what do you do back where you come from?”
One of her eyes twitches for a second.
“Please?...You said something about survival? What exactly do you mean?”
Brynja waits a moment, clears her throat and then she starts:
Everything in the land of the griffons wants to kill you, there is not a single second where you can let your guard down.
You have to fight animals to eat, fight other griffons for your place in society and fight invaders from the feral lands for your home.

When you come with the rasp set she starts to look displeased ”What do you fucking want with that?”
But you expected that “I'll clean your claws for you and make them look more dangerous.”
A pleased “Good.” is your reward, together with her cooperation.
It wasn't a lie, even if you secretly dull her claws she could easily clobber you to death just as quick.
Then comes the bath, she has no problem with that, but she starts telling you about her toughest fights. Her reenactments of how she killed a giant boar drenches you completely.
She only laughs at that, still better than getting angry...
Next is the massage, Gilda digged those, Brynja will love it too. The pleased look she had while you had to towel her dry assures you of that.

And she does, she purrs like a good pussycat in no time. You skillfully avoid the erogenous zones and knead her muscles thoroughly.
You never massaged a minotaur, but you are sure there can't be much more strength in a creature than in this griffon.
Every knot is loosened and every muscle is relaxed under your hands and after 15 minutes you stop.
You can read a hint, and she gave you plenty. No matter how skilled you are, if you go any further, you will make her horny.
You don't want that.
She will break your hips if not your skull first.
Lastly you groom her wings, also one of the things you learned from Gilda...

'That was good', she doesn't say it, but you can read it in her face.
If even half her stories are true, until this day she didn't even knew what a massage was, and she doesn't seem to be a bullshitter...
She leads you outside and shows you her feline ass, lifts her tail and a short spray of what you assume is piss hits you all over.
It is good that she lifts off right away, because all your swearing would have offended her into killing you.
The shit smells awful!
That was NOT piss, piss doesn't stink like that!

You hit the showers at home and scrub yourself heavily, but even after a 30 minute shower with intense scrubbing the smell stays. Not as strong and unpleasant though, it's rather...Brynja's smell...
Pinkie will ban you to the kingdom of the couch for that smell tonight...
Soon the entire house smells like that griffon...fucking Brynja.

11 - Gilda

A week passed since Brynja became your...friend.
Since then you met pretty much every griffon that settled down near Ponyville, except for Gilda.
It's like she forgot about you, or just doesn't care anymore. But these thoughts are always repressed quickly.

You have customers.
Griffon customers.
Lots of them.
And none of them pays...
Turns out your words 'Griffons' and 'on my tab' spread quick.
This is kind of bad.
You should have formulated that better. Every time you try to talk about payment they just laugh it off.
You once tried to talk to Brynja about that.
Once.
Now you have two broken ribs.
She is crazy! The epitome of a sociopath...for Equestrian standards at least.
Oh fuck, Gilda, where are you?

Another day at the spa is done, all griffons are treated. Aloe pulls you to a backroom ”Anon, we need to talk.” she is clearly upset ”All those griffons frighten away our pony customers, remember? Those are the ones that pay.”
“I'm sorry, it got kind of out of hand. B-But that way they warm up to the equestrian lifestyle, I don't know what to do, I'm not exactly gifted when it comes to griffon negotiations.” you tried...
Rarity steps out of the shadows “Oh, don't worry darling, we have a plan. Of course we noticed that you are overwhelmed with that task. All you need to do is take this sign and place it next to the door, visible for all guests.” she points to a board, it says:
'Griffon only days: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday'
Seems like something is missing “Why not add 'Pony only' days?” you ask.
”We thought about that my dear, but that would probably offend some of them and they would come regardless just to spite us. But that way...” she presents the signboard like a masterpiece “...They won't care, they usually prefer to stay amongst themselves. Now be a dear and put the sign outside, will you?”

The good thing: You have some days off.
The bad thing: The Spa Ponies will leave you in charge of the spa for the griffon days.

Brynja is in your home, playing some boardgames with Pinkie. Somehow they are...good...friends. It seems reality defying...
At least there haven't been any pony assaults since Brynja and the other griffons came. You can't imagine Brynja having sex, actually it's hard with any griffon...
Wait a minute.
They aren't playing, they are waiting.
Wait a minute.
There are three colors on the board, not two.
You hear the toilet flushing, after waiting a minute Rainbow Dash comes down the stairs.
Not her, that cunt! You fucking hate her!
She grins when she sees you ”Hello Anon...long time no see.”
Not long enough...
You turn around and are about to leave wordless, you can't kick her out with Pinkie being around, but you don't have to stay with her at least.
”Gilda would like to see you.” Dash says, stopping you in your tracks.
You don't even want to talk with Rainbow, but you want to see Gilda...

Brynja gets up, she is angry again, losing to Pinkie Pie time after time does that to anyone, it's a miracle that she hasn't flipped out once.
With the Brynja express you get to the mountain that the griffons claimed their own. There are huge aeries strewn all over the place.
The destination is the cave of the mountain, Pinkie told you that there was once a dragon sleeping inside.
It doesn't look like a cave anymore at all. Where once cold stone was is now a wooden floor, the walls are packed with random things.
On closer inspection the walls are packed with random military things. Weapons, armors, wargear, you name it.
The farther you go in, the more it looks like a house. A big room comes into sight, three griffons are audibly arguing, one of them is definitely Gilda, even though she sounds much more mature than the last time you saw her...
Brynja and Rainbow Dash, who tagged along by the way, hold you back as you are about to march up to your favorite griffon.
Rainbow says serious ”Anon, that is a bad idea. The negotiations are supposed to be over, something must have happened.” her eyes wander to the arguers.
“What are they negotiating?” you ask.
”Territory.” Brynja answers bland.
Gilda is right there “I want to see her now.”
Brynja forms an O with her index finger and her thumb “One does not simply, interrupt the stjori during the allocation of territories.” she explains.
The what? Fuck this shit, you want Gilda, right now!

You leave the two behind and march forward.
”Anon, no!” Rainbow shouts quietly.
You step into the light, the three griffons are standing around a table with a map of the regions around the mountain and Ponyville.
If the tension in this room would be connected to the moon, a banishment to it wouldn't be so hard to escape from anymore...
You can see two of the quarreling griffons, they look fierce, have many scars and look damn tough and brawny.
Wait, not brawny, this is the normal stature for a mature griffon! Gilda was just scrawny back then!
Your presence is not noticed.
Their arguing is more like almost attacking each other, negotiations between griffon leaders seem to be based on threatening the opponent instead of logical arguments.
They shout and bash on the table, with every step it seems to be less and less of a good idea to bother them right now...
Gilda's back is turned to you, she is shaking with rage.
Dude, do not do it. You will regret it, this is the worst idea you have ever had. Just wait for an hour and this is eventually over!

”NO! Ponyville is NEUTRAL GROUND!!! WE ALL NEED ACCESS TO IT!!!” Gilda's voice hurts in your ears, that loud it is.
”But if we center the aeries at the mountain IT IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!” the biggest one screams. Her talons, coat and beak are pitch black and the tint of her feathers has the same complexion.
”THAT IS WHY WE NEED MORE NEUTRAL GROUND!!!” this one has a blood red color to her feathers, you can feel her voice vibrate in your bones, this is stupid.
This is REALLY stupid.
You turn around and walk back to Rainbow and Brynja into safe cover.
”You can count that as a near-death experience Anon.” Rainbow giggles at you.
Brynja pats your back, almost knocking you over “You really have guts, too bad you don't have the fitting brawn.” she says amused.
Yeah...guts...riiiight.
30 minutes later they come to a conclusion, you didn't understand what they screamed at each other but they are done, that's what counts.
Gilda walks away from them and towards you, you stand up to greet her.

She looks mature, bigger, stronger, scars mark her body all over, but the most striking feature is her right eye.
Where once a golden iris sat is now white scar tissue and a fitting scar runs vertically down across her eye.
“Gilda!” you almost shout joyfully.
She shows no emotions as she sees you, she just walks a straight line towards you, grabs your neck with one talon and your arm with the other one and carries you off.
She doesn't even try to be gentle, you have to fight for every breath. Luckily the flight doesn't even take a minute.
You are dropped in a majestic aerie house with a fancy roof. You'd marvel at how comfy it is, but you have an old friend to deal with. She just stares at you with lazy eyes, her blind eye looks brutal.
Her beak is chipped and jagged from overuse, you wonder what she used it on...
“Gilda, what happened to you? Are you okay?” you say while rubbing your neck.
No reaction.
“Gilda, I...missed you...”
She just keeps staring.
Something doesn't sit right. You can feel it.
You can spot minimal movement in her mimic before she comes close, you are flipped on your stomach like a plaything and one of her talons pushes down on your back.
Pushed flat down like that you can't really do anything.
Gilda pulls down your pants.
She inspects the branding of Applejack's cutie mark that AJ and Flutters gave you, after a few moments she starts touching and rubbing it, like she tries to wipe it off.
You can see her frown and feel the vibrations of her low growl.
Fear spread in your system.
“G-Gilda? It's not what it looks like! Please let me explain!”
She speaks choppy ”That...doesn't...belong there.”
No time and no chance for any declarations is given to you. Her beak meets your flesh and your screams are carried away in the wind.
Again and again she dives down, ripping your skin and flesh off, then wolfing it down until nothing of the branding is left. The spot feels numb yet burns painfully, you can feel the blood flowing down.
”If you are disloyal again, you will lose more than a little bit of skin.” she urges you.
An eagles shout later another griffon comes to pick you up.
”Bring him back to Ponyville Sigrun, I'm done for today, we just lost a good portion of hunting ground.” Gilda says, not minding you at all.
You are roughly grabbed and carried back to Ponyville. Sigrun lands on the fringe of Ponyville, shreds your shirt and cleans the blood with it.
The bleeding has stopped already, Gilda only ripped off the skin, not much else...
Sigrun inspects the wound, but doesn't do anything. She leaves without having said a word.
You pull up your pants and walk home, you feel miserable...
What happened to Gilda? She's like a monster, and the other Griffons are not better at all!

The rest of the day is spent in your room, Pinkie isn't there, probably throwing one of her parties...

Your hopes are crushed, Gilda was supposed to be your tower of strength. Instead she is a cold, raging gust of violence. You rub your ass one last time before hitting the sheets.
Just as you are about to enter the land of dreams you feel something odd. There is a pit in the mattress. You explore it, not caring to open your eyes. At the bottom of the pit is a talon.
Wait.
What are huge talons attached to again?
Please, let it be a changeling...
You open your eyes slowly.
Nope.
Dat white eye...
Nope nope nope nope nope!
Shit...maybe she calmed down...
You sit up , only to be pushed back into the pillows.
”I almost forgot what was most fun here in Equestria.” her voice is calm and rough.
Is she serious?!
“What?! No! Not after that shit you pulled off at the mountain, what the fuck is wrong with you? Why did you-”
She grabs you by the collar and pulls you right in front of her face ”I don't think you have a choice.”
She lets go and you fall back.
”Now strip...if you value your petty clothes.” she says slightly amused.
“You can't just expect-”
RIIIP!
There goes your second shirt for today.
She flips you over and hugs you from behind, one of her talons vanishes in your boxers as both of you roll on your sides.
”Why does it smell like Brynja in here?!”
Your balls are squeezed for emphasis painfully, a yelp escapes your lips.
You waste no time to explain “S-She sprayed some stuff at me! After I gave her a massage! I swear, that's all! I couldn't get rid of the smell, no matter what, honest!”
She pulls you tight against her and you can feel her insane heartbeat, for every beat your heart does, hers does at least three.
”That better be true.” she whispers.

She forces one of her fingers into your mouth and starts massaging your dick dexterously with her other hand. The back of your head sinks into her plumage, you forgot how good a griffon can feel.
You'd be enjoying yourself if it wouldn't be so...forced...and if you weren't so angry at her!
Her finger leaves your mouth, but a unpleasant taste stays.
“Stop it Gilda.”
You try to push her away, but she holds on to you, she actually mistakes your vain struggle attempts as caressing.
”I don't think so, your puny dick doesn't seem to agree with you there.”
She has stroked your member to full attention and now uses both her talons down there. Despite the rough yellow texture of her talons she is really good at it.
“No, Gilda, stop it, seriously.”
You don't want to give her the satisfaction, with both her hands in your crotch you lean forward, trying to get away from her. She acts quickly and snaps at your ear...a little too hard.
A talon quickly covers your mouth, muffling your screams and protests.
”Whoops. Stop screaming you wimp, it's just a little gash.”
Your ear hurts like hell and you feel blood dripping from it. You are not going to submit to her! Time to fight back!
You bite down on one of her thick fingers.
She doesn't even recognizes it, so you bite down as hard as you can!
Your head follows the movement of her hand, she turns your head and looks at with a blank expression
”If it helps...” she sighs.
This is supposed to HURT her damnit!
She nibbles on your bloody ear and continues her fondling.
Fuck.
Does she feel no pain?!

After she pulled her finger out of your mouth, and almost some of your teeth with, it she straddles you.
Without foreplay she forces your dick halfway into her pussy, it's fucking hot in there. Gilda uses your neck for leverage and you bottom out.
You know that you have no chance of breaking her grip, but that doesn't stop you from trying, being choked is not your fetish! She grabs your arms and spreads them left and right, only for them to grab her choke again.
After doing that for some time she get angry and squeezes down on your neck painfully ”Stop that shit, I hate it! Put your arms out of the way, I want to see your face!”
She almost crushes your neck for a second and you almost black out from the severed blood flow, then she puts your arms down one last time, you keep them down.
Her other talon joins in on your neck, she isn't choking you for real but the occasional squeeze still is uncomfortable as shit.
Like that she fucks you relentlessly. It takes her only two orgasms and you are at your peak.
Fuck this griffon.
You grab her haunches and give her all you've got to finish yourself off.
”Keep going...keep...” her words are drowned in heavy breathing mixed with moans. Her pussy clamps down on your cock and gives you the rest.
All her shouting must have woken up the entire neighborhood...
When you are done pumping her full of cum she slumps down on you, exhausted she quickly starts snoring.
You hate yourself right now. Where's the defiance? You need to fight!
But not now, now you sleep.

When you wake up the next morning, Gilda has already left, but not before marking the room...
This is not a smell of sexual fluids like back then, this is an aggressive smell that tells everyone 'This is Gilda hers'.
How the fuck are you supposed to get rid of that smell?!
It bites in your nose. Where is Pinkie Pie anyway?
You open the window for some fresh air and bail out of your room. Pinkie is eating breakfast, she looks like she had a rough night.
”Morning Anon, sounds like you and Gilda had some fun together!”
Oh no...please don't let her be angry!
“I'm so sorry Pinkie, I couldn't help it.” you say regretful.
Damn shit, you fucking betrayed her no matter how you see it...
Pinkie looks at you puzzled while munching her CheerileeO's...that teacher must be rich by now, her cereals are the hit!
Anyway you need to get this straight with your marefriend, she deserves better than this.
You sit in front of her on the far side of the table.
“I'll tell Gilda to stay away from me, I promise.” hopefully that will calm her down at least a little...but there is no doubt that there is a shitstorm incoming.
Pinkie raises an eyebrow “Why?” she asks almost laughing.
“Because...Gilda last night...and...we're together and...” you stutter, not sure what to say.
Suddenly she slips across the table and pulls your head into an intimate kiss, giving you a mouth full of CheerileeO's. The messy make out lasts at least a full minute before she pulls away.
Then she whispers “I don't mind, as long as you have enough stamina for me...”
You can't believe it, you don't deserve her...yet...Pinkie...
You don't say a word, instead you caress her thoroughly, ear scratchy, belly rub, the full program reserved for your lover.
Sadly she has to call it quits after some time, finishes her breakfast in a hurry and leaves. She's been busy with figuring out how to throw griffon parties to perfection.

Today is a free day.
You are going to make it up to Pinkie by refilling the fridge and buying a padlock for it anyway, it'd be bad if your fridge gets raided more often by these avians.
The market is crowded as usual, you need lots of food and for Pinkie lots of sweets, she'll love it, you still feel guilty...
The presence of the griffons almost made you forget about the royal guards that are stationed here, not that they do anything except standing around or patrolling, do they even have a life outside of guard duty?
Somehow the griffons are super polite when having contact with any ponies, or at least they don't treat them like you until now.
On your way back, packed with bags full of food, you see one of the griffons that Gilda argued with in the mountain cave. It's the black one.
She is watching you from a rooftop, eyeing you lazily.
It doesn't looks like as if she is particularly interested in you, so you just walk by, occasionally glancing at her to see if she is up to something.
Griffons can be bad.
Griffons at the top of their food chain...you don't want to think about it.

You arrive safe at home and fill the fridge to the brim, montage the padlock and test it out.
Solid.
That should save the food!
Now, all you have to do is to acquire lots of sweets for Pinkie!
No problemo amigo. You visit one shop after the other and gather large quantities of candy, muffins, cupcakes and other products with lots of sugar. When you come back home again you almost drop all of it.
That griffon from earlier!
She sits at your table and picks her teeth with a claw, the tint on her feathers and around her eyes are pitch black. Scars mark her body all over, giving her the appearance of a seasoned warrior. She is also the BIGGEST griffon you've ever seen, and you've seen almost all of them by now.
The fridge is open and half the contents are eaten or scattered around.
How the hell can a single creature eat that much!?

Anger wells up inside you, this is not right, she has no right to intrude into your home like that and steal your food!
“Who are you?!” you ask her in anger.
She looks older than Gilda and her black beak reflects the light like polished porcelain.
“What are you doing in my house?!” you add.
The intruder stands up and with a small movement the table is thrown out of the way, in large strides she moves towards you, head held low, eyes never leaving you, face devoid of emotion.
You know what's coming, that body language is unmistakeable. Quickly you put the candy bags down and raise your fists, knowing it won't do much but you have to send the message!
“C'mere!” you spout out.
She reaches out and grabs your shirt, whirls you around and releases. You fly around and your legs hit the couch, spinning you around, then landing painfully on the floor while hitting your head.
Pain fills your skull.
But you have no time for a breather, she has you already grabbed you by the collar and pushes you over the armrest onto the couch. One of her arms presses against your throat as you try to push her off...without the desirable result, she is too massive.
You have trouble breathing with her arm pressed against your windpipe.
”Do you always have such a big mouth you weakling?!” she says, almost bored.
You punch her torso a few times as hard as you can, but the weird angle takes any force out of them.
”Trying to massage me?” she says while lifting a brow. Her golden eyes staring into yours.

One of your wrists is grabbed by her talon and she flips you around on your stomach. Now your ass points upward.
She leans her entire weight onto you and pushes her body against yours...thank god she isn't a guy, otherwise she would be penetrating your ass like that!
It doesn't stop her from doing the fitting movements though.
”You like that huh?” she says as she starts humping you.
“What? NO! Stop! HELURGRH” before you can shout for help, she squeezes down on your neck with a talon.
”Scream again and I'll rip your head off.” she breaths in your ear.
You don't want to test if she is serious and you like breathing, so you give her a short nod. After a few seconds you start struggling as hard as possible, flailing around with all you've got...you're not screaming...
You kick her shin accidentally ”Ouch...you little piece of shit.” she swears.
Her talons grip your wrists and she stretches your arms long while biting the base of your neck, it doesn't hurt much but every time you start struggling again she bites down harder, releasing again when you stop.
You get the message and simply endure her treatment, it's not like she is doing something...
Her entire body is pressed against you and she starts her humping again, it's kind of embarrassing, luckily no one is watching...right?
You swear you saw a pink strand of hair as you glanced to the window...

Her thick tongue licks at your neck, a lustful giggle escapes from her from time to time.
No matter how much you don't like it, with all that rubbing and licking and breathing, blood slowly accumulates in your groin.
She notices your accelerated breathing ”Oho, look at that.”
A talon grabs your genitals and gives a few probing squeezes ”You really get off on that.” she says and starts laughing.
Nononononono!
YOU DON'T!
”I'll come back later boy.”
Just as she stops pinning you there you blurt out “Who ARE you?”
She simply ignores you and leaves.
...
Fuck.
That was the worst griffon until now, she didn't even hurt you that much, it was just humiliating.
Her words run through your head 'I'll come back later boy'.
You need to get the fuck away from here ASAP before that bird comes back!
Only...no, not even Celestia knows what she will do if she catches you the next time.

Company...you need some friends to keep around!
Where the hell is Pinkie at?
Twilight has her hands full with investigation stuff, Chrysalis trolled Ponyville real good, there hasn't been a single changeling in Equestria since she revealed herself and vanished again.
You don't even waste a thought on Rainbow, Fluttershy and Applejack.
Maybe you can hang out with Rarity?
She has to do.

You go to her place and enter her boutique.
From somewhere you can hear a few “Marvelous” and “Stunning”s, she seems to be home...
She is in her fitting-room with a guest or a customer it seems, but you realize that too late. You barge in.
Gilda is being measured by the purple haired unicorn.
“Oh, sorry, I'll...wait downstairs.” you say quickly.
Luckily they don't give a fuck.
The both of them follow you after a 15 minutes wait.
You are amazed that Rarity isn't afraid of Gilda with her blind eye and battered body, it sure looks intimidating.
They laugh and joke, the world is not right anymore, it just looks wrong. Like an evil pirate is having tea with a noble princess casually.
”So Anon dear, what can I possibly do for you?” she sits on her lounger.
“I just wanted to ask if you have some free time, so we could...hang out together a little?”
She furrows her brows and bites her lower lip ”Oh darling, I'm really flattered, but Gilda just gave me a huge order and I would really like to start with that as soon as possible. Maybe some other time?” she flutters her eyelids at you.
During your 15 minutes wait you played various scenarios through your mind due to Gilda's presence. You have a plan B.
You will use a lesser evil to keep the bigger one at distance!
“...Gilda?” you ask her.
Gilda crosses her arms ”So I'm just your number two choice?”
FUUUUCK!!!
“Don't talk nonsense, I came to the Carousel Boutique to ask Rarity, that doesn't mean...you know what I mean!” shit, you can't win this what the hell?!
Gilda stares at you. Silence fills the room...
You are now nominated for the awkward awkwards in the category: Best awkward silence!

You walk outside, Gilda follows.
She jumps on your back and you have to carry her around to calm her down.
“Gilda...who was the griffon you...*huff*...negotiated with...the one with...*huff*...the black beak...and black tint?”
Suddenly Gilda pushes you into the grass ”WHAT?! That was Lyndwin! She is the stjori of her flock! What did she do?! Did she attack you?!” she almost screams that, just good that you left the fringes of Ponyville behind you a few minutes ago.
Her claws dig into your shoulders.
“N-No, we just had...uh...a talk?” you say nervous.
You roll on your back and she sits on your lap, holding your shoulders down while staring at you seriously.
”You still suck at lying you know that?” she says quietly and calm.
“Well, I still don't like it.”
”GRIFFONS” she starts loud “...don't 'just' TALK. What happened? Lyndwin is a crazy fuck, even for griffon standards, you better tell me what she did, for your own sake.” she looks you in the eyes sharp, fuck, you will never get used to that fucking blind eye...
“What? She seemed less crazy than Brynja!”
Gilda rolls her eyes ”Brynja is normal.”
“No she is not, she is violent as fuck.”
She slumps down on her elbows and you can feel her breath ”You just have a wrong image of griffons because I've always gone easy on you.”
“Wrong image?” you ask unbelieving.
”So what did she do?”
“She just did some weird humping stuff and wanted to come back later.”
Gilda looks around “Hmm. Was that the reason why you wanted to hang out with somegriffon?”
You nod.
”Hmm, okay. You can keep me company a bit. A flock has to stick together, there are still many griffons you should meet. You haven't been introduced yet, right?”

That day you met lots of bird-cats.
Evil griffons, bored griffons, crazy griffons, colorful griffons, lots of griffons.
There are roughly 30 griffons in Gilda's flock, but only five males, and they are all married...
When you mention that to Gilda she said that males tend to die quicker but not why. She also tells you to stay away from griffon chicks, the mothers tend to kill if you are even close to their children.
-Useful information aquired!!!-
Brynja and Frida are in Gilda's flock.
When all are met, except for a few mothers, the both of you chill at Gilda's royal aerie. It's actually more of a house, but whatever.
You give her a massage while asking her some questions “So, how does a flock work? I still don't fully grasp the concept behind it all. Is it some kind of community?”
”No, you can see a flock as an extended family. You can find protection within and the members usually work together, quarrels are dealt with through a fight.”
“What about hierarchy? I heard Brynja calling you the stjori, I'm the...uh...”
”Elskhuga of the flock.” she completes you “The stjori is the head of the flock and its representative, the strongest griffon assumes that role, ME. That's all”
“That's all? What do you mean?”
”The rest are just either members, or children and if a chick comes of age it must leave the flock.”
“And they have to find a new one?”
”No, they don't have to, but loners are not common, a flock offers too many benefits. My homeland is a harsh one. Unlike here in Equestria, dying is easy there.”
“Is that why you have so many injuries?”
”You're wrong again. Most of them come from fights to become the stjori, and some from staying, you have to proof your strength by defeating the old one. That's also how I lost my eye, I was careless.”
“Who was the former stjori?”
”Doesn't matter, she's dead now.”
You stop dead in your tracks.
”Don't freak out, it wasn't on purpose, she didn't knew when to stop.”
“I-It's okay, I don't question you. No problem at all. You had no chance, I understand completely.”
She wiggles around and you reluctantly start working her belly side.
”You don't sound convinced, don't worry about it, as long as we are in Equestria we will not break the laws here.”
“Are you saying that...killing is legal back where you come from?”
She smirks ”There are no petty laws oversea, every flock makes its own rules, if at all. Common sense is what we use for most things. If you are too weak or too stupid to survive, nogriffon will shed tears after you.”
“You make it sound barbaric.”
”It is, a dweeb like you wouldn't survive without a strong flock for a week. If not the wild animals tear you apart, the invaders from the feral lands will.”
She says that while enjoying the massage greatly, it makes you feel stupid somehow.
”And if that isn't enough, as a different and weaker species you would be the first target for rival flocks. Seriously, don't go there.”

Then she notices your uneasiness, she pulls you in and buries your face in her plumage.
You love fluffy plumage.
”What's wrong? Afraid of griffons now?” she asks mockingly.
“It's just, you changed so much in so little time.”
Her voice becomes a little angry “Is that a problem?”
She pushes you harder against her, it starts to hurt a little “No no, not at all. You're still my favorite!”
Gilda relaxes again with a “Good.”
Her talons grab your head and push it down and into her crotch ”Then you surely don't mind showing me.”
She hasn't washed in days...
Her claws slowly dig into your skin as you hesitate. She bangs your mouth against her feline pussy a few times before you yield.
The taste of sweat and piss fades after a few minutes and is replaced by a more acceptable one as she becomes more and more wet. You put your everything into eating her out, intent on making it as quick as possible.
But Gilda has other ideas, every time you think she gets close, she pulls away. Halfway through that Sigrun comes and just watches, Gilda doesn't give a fuck about it.
Exhibitionism isn't your fetish, but that doesn't stop your dick from getting hard.
Fuck.
When you finally get to satisfy Gilda, Sigrun whispers something to her. Gilda's jimmies are visibly rustled and the two of them dash outside.

You are now alone in Gilda's home...
Well, fuck.
Time to explore!
Her home somehow sticks right under an overhang, shielding it from whatever might fall from above...like water and stuff. It's high up above the clouds and has pretty much the highest spot on this side of the mountain, must be a hierarchy thing.
The first floor of her two story aerie-house is missing the entire front wall and the floor is more like an actual birds nest. The corners are rounded and the windows are huge, big enough to act as an entrance for a grown griffon easily.
The second floor has all four walls and is overhanging over the first floor, the overhang of the mountain is used as roof. It has an even thicker layer of interwoven sticks and twigs on the ground, the stuff even crawls up the walls a bit.
Actually it makes sense, a normal wooden floor would be scratched to splinters by their claws in no time...
As you explore her home you realize that you have no way of getting out of here, you look outside and the height makes you a little dizzy.
You are above the clouds so you have no idea how high you're up, but jumping is out of the question for sure.

Just moments after you gave up, a griffon lands. Finally you can get FUUUUUCK IT'S LYNDWIN!!!
”Hey there boy, missed me?” she says, fluttering her lids like trying to seduce you.
“What are you doing here?! This is Gilda's aerie! You're not supposed to be here!”
She furls her wings and takes a few steps towards you, a smug grin plastered all over her face ”That's no problem, she'll be busy for some time. I made sure of that. And a good friend of mine like you wouldn't rat me out, right?” she says that while playing with her claws threateningly.
“What?! What did you do to her?!”
”Just a little distraction, now come here boy, or I can't promise that you'll keep all of your limbs.”
She has some kind of griffon saddle bags with her.
You run upstairs, Lyndwin just giggles at your attempts to flee. She follows you casually and corners you easily.
As you press against a rounded corner she positions herself broad before you and burrows two items out of her bags. She holds them right in front of your nose, a light rubber and silicon smell reaches you.
“Do you want the exotic one...” she wiggles a bright blue colored dildo in her talon, it has funny looking bumps and twists and doesn't look like anything a living being would have between its legs.
Then she pulls that one away and presents the other one ”Or do you prefer the classic cat?” this time she not just wiggles it around, but smacks it slightly on your nose. Oh god, who knows where that thing has been before?!
It has numerous hook-like barbs and the glans is pointed at the tip.
You gulp audibly.
”Oh, so you like the classic one? Good taste f-”
”Anon?!” Brynja's voice! Your recue!
“I'm upstairs!” you shout, feigning calmness.
Lyndwin grabs you by the throat in panic and pushes her forehead against yours “One word and I'll end you!” she hisses, then she opens a window and jumps out just before Brynja can see her.
”Gilda sent me, said something about you, but I forgot. I'll just drop you off in Ponyville.” Brynja says disinterested as she comes up the stairs.
You are fucking saved.

12 - Honor And Dignity

Brynja drops you off, ignoring your pleas to stay with you.
You quickly run to the Town Square, but the relative safety of the public can't stop Lyndwin from just following you. And not even in secret, she just walks right behind you.
“Lyndwin, please leave me alone, I don't want whatever you have in mind.” you tell her.
”Shut up, just wait until nogriffon is watching.” she says impatient.
She looks around, most probably not going to happen here. The market is your most favorite place right now. Lots of eyes, no abandoned alleys, she has no chance of doing something here!
But the open space also makes it impossible to lose her, if you actually manage to get separated from her, she just flies up and finds you with her sharp griffon eyes.
”You can't win this boy, give it up and I'll just beat you up a little.” she says annoyed.
Feeling safe, you give her a piece of your mind “What the hell do you even want from me? There are like a thousand creatures you can bother, leave me the fuck alone!”
”Just talk some more, I'll make you regret every fucking word you say boy.” she has a hard time suppressing her anger now, shit.
“Why Me?!”
She attempts to push you unobtrusively away from any crowds, but you hold unobtrusively against her.
”You're with Gilda, that's enough reason.”
“So if I leave her flock you will leave me alone?”
”No.”
“Why? Then I'm not with Gilda anymore, right? That doesn't make any sense!”
This is getting ridiculous.
”I can't believe you're telling me that you consider betraying her, you must be pretty stupid.”
...
Yeah, that was a bad idea, better shut the fuck up.
“Please, just leave me alone.”
”No. Not until I have what I want.”
She never leaves your side for two hours, always trying to separate you from the crowd.
It is so annoying, but the thought of her toys is a good incentive to keep going.
Then you see Fluttershy. There are lots of conflicted feelings inside you right now, but you will give her another chance, she is supposed to be kind after all and she was the least worst of the three that...fuck no, you don't give her another chance!

Lyndwin notices you staring at Fluttershy with various expressions. The fact that you turn around and try to keep out of her sight is enough reason for her to shout and wave her over.
Oh shit.
The yellow menace reluctantly comes closer.
Fuck this shit!
You use the lack of attention that Lyndwin pays you and slip away once more, this time you run from the market. That's the first place she will scan with her griffon vision after all. Then you need to find shelter, she will search the entire village when she realizes that you are not at the market anymore.

You slip through an alley and leave the market, so far so good.
Now where to? You have t-
”Nice try boy, but not good enough.” she is right behind you.
She turns around and gives Fluttershy a thumbs up through the alley.
You bolt away with all you've got. You don't care where to, as long as you get away from that fucking avian.
From time to time you look back, she is nowhere to be seen.
Weird, but good.
Eventually you tire out, looks like you got away. You can't believe it, you really got away, damn you're good!

After just a few steps you get grabbed and lifted, a vice grip around your neck and left arm keeps you from falling as Ponyville shrinks under your feet.
The grip around your neck is too much.
You black out.

”Look, he's waking up, I told you I didn't kill him.” a voice says as you regain consciousness.
Your left arm hurts like hell, as you stand up you notice that you're surrounded by three griffons. One of them is Lyndwin, the others you have seen only for a massage at best.
”Told you so.” one of them says and receives a pouch of bits from the other one.
”Next time I'll get you Lilja.” says the one that is one pouch of bits lighter.
You rub your sore neck. Lyndwin looks very mad.
”Hold him.” she says angrily.
Both of your arms are constricted.
”Don't you know that griffons hunt in prides boy? You should look up more often.” the black griffon says.
She clenches her talon slowly into a fist while glaring at you.
“I'm sure we can talk abpfoofh-” her fist meets your gut, pain spreads throughout your body.
”Thanks for wasting my time you little fucker.” she hisses, then gives you a blow to the head, your world starts spinning and you have to lean into the two griffons that hold you.
“Lyndwin, please-” another blow to the stomach, all air escapes your lungs and refuses to come back.
You wheeze and pant as she hits you again and again. You can feel three ribs break in three different blows. The griffons drop you after your responses to Lyndwin's bashing become weaker.
”You really can't take a beating, huh boy? Be happy I held back.” she says arrogant.
“Stop...*huff*...please...” breathing is a major task right now.
She grabs your right arm and stretches it, running her claws along it.
”So...it'd be a shame if you lost your precious little arm, no?”
Her grip around your wrist tightens painfully and she pulls the arm upwards, you stand on your knees now and hold your arm with the other one.
“No please, I'll do whatever you want. Please stop.” you beg her.
Pain shoots through your arm as she twists it, you scream.
”You're not getting off that easily, you're not going to defy me again. When I'm done with you, you'll be begging to be my servant!” the other two griffons laugh nasty.
With a quick motion she dislocates your arm, at the same time she grabs your neck and chokes you, hindering you from screaming. The pain is unbearable and you struggle as much as you can, she lets go of your arm and punches you another time in the guts hard.
”If you scream, I'll break both of your legs. Understood?”
You nod in panic.

She releases her grip and you cower down, gasping for air and groaning
in pain.
You didn't think she'd get that violent!
Your right arm hangs limp to the ground, tears start welling up in your eyes.
“I'm...*huff*...sorry...please stop...”
She pulls your head back into your neck by the hair and breathes into your face ”You will be boy, I haven't even started yet.” her voice is much calmer, but that doesn't calm you down a bit.
“Please...you can't do this.” Gilda said they won't break the law!
”I don't think so, you know, that pony princess of yours only said that we are not allowed to harm her subjects. YOU were NOT mentioned...”
Her eyes wander over you, looking for the next spot to inflict pain on your body.
That fucking Celestia bitch, you knew she hated you somehow, she only acts nice!
Lyndwin bites into your upper arm. Her beak draws blood momentarily, searing pain shoots through it.
She shakes and rips at you, and actually manages to rip a small chunk of flesh out of you, you want to scream but can't find the air to do so.
All you can do is to watch in horror as she eats a piece of you slowly right in front of you.
You are nothing more than food to her...
She could kill you any second and wouldn't even be held accountable for it...
A knot forms in your stomach, fear overwhelms reason and your hands start to shake uncontrollably.
You can feel your face becoming pale and you piss yourself, losing control of some of your body functions.
She can just kill you if she wants, or torture you to death, no strings attached...

The wound bleeds heavily
”What are you doing?!” Fluttershy's voice squeaks from somewhere “Stop!”
It's unbelievable, but the pink haired epitome of shyness actually throws herself between you and Lyndwin.
”Yeah, what's going on?!” sounds like Flutters brought Rainbow Dash along...
You don't listen to the following discussion, but Lyndwin eventually withdraws angrily.
As Fluttershy wants to look at your injuries you hug her spontaneously, tears running down your face. Somehow you have to think back to the party you threw for Pinkie...
Fluttershy gives you a loving hug and a few kisses, calming you down somewhat. Then she starts her nursery.
“Thank you Fluttershy, thank you Rainbow, thank you.” the words almost come of their own, they saved your life!
”I'm gonna have a word with Gilda, how can she let this happen?!” Rainbow is angry.
”Anon, uhm...can you walk? My cottage isn't far, I can treat you there properly...if you'd like.”
You nod.
Dash helps you up and supports you ”Anon, what's with your arm?”
“Just dislocated.” you say.

Eventually you arrive at Fluttershy's home and get patched up, Rainbow helps putting your arm back into its joint, then leaves with an angry face.
“Fluttershy?”
”Yes?” she asks sheepishly.
“Can I stay here for tonight?” you ask her beaten.
You just want to curl up inside a closet and cry for the rest of the day.
Fluttershy gives you a loving hug and a kiss on the cheek “Of course you can, as long as you like.”
She might be a little clingy, but you don't want it any other way right now.
You bath together, you eat together, take care of some animals together and sleep together. Fluttershy doesn't try anything, she just cuddles with you.
The incident replays over and over again in your mind, a nightmare of Lyndwin haunts you that night. At least Fluttershy is there for you, snuggling you when you wake up and loving the fear out of you.
That night you forgive Fluttershy, and Rainbow will get her chance for that.
You even think about giving Applejack another shot.
One thing at a time though.

The next day comes and you get ready to go to the spa. Every fiber in you body tells you to stay away from any griffons, but it was only one of them, and they might ALL get angry if you deny them their massages and preenings...
You fight with fear all the way, but you realize how stupid that is as the first griffons welcome you friendly as you open the spa for them.

Prepare baths, rasp claws, massage, preen, repeat.

After some time you spy Lilja under the customers, your heart sinks into your pants, but she seems oblivious to what happened yesterday.
That's right, you are not Anonymous right now, you are just the guy that gives massages and shit. You don't think she even recognized you, she leaves without incident when done.

Prepare baths, rasp claws, massage, preen, repeat.

It's actually pretty relaxing, knowing that you are safe here, there are lots of griffons from your flock that you recognize.
The opening time ends and the last customers leave satisfied, as the last one leaves a new one enters.
“Sorry, the Day Spa is cl-”
The black tinted griffon!
Lyndwin!
”Lookie there, who do we have here? How's the shoulder?” she asks like caring about you.
The horror from yesterday is alive again, you can practically see her eating your flesh again, did she come to finish the job?
Fear makes your knees wobbly.
She walks over to you like nothing bad happened and lays an arm around your neck.
It's too much, your legs give way and you land on your ass.
”Huh?” she looks at you dumbfounded as you watch her from down there, then she starts laughing furiously ”BWAHAHAHA!!! HOW DID YOU EVER END UP IMPRESSING GILDA! HAHAHAHA!!!”

Get away from her! Evacuate immediately! Leave the ship! This bird is bad for you!
You turn around and crawl away from her but a talon grabs your ankle and pulls you back.
“P-Please...” is all you can bring out.
She holds you by the collar and yanks you on your feet.
”I'm not angry at you anymore, you don't have to piss your pants again. I just wanted to try out this spa thing everygriffon is talking about. So how this work?”
“W-We have closed for today, p-please come back the day after tomorrow.”
This has to work, if she is playing by the rules that is...
”I'm sure you can make an exception for your best friend Lyndwin...” her voice becomes threatening “...am I right?”
A nod is all you can do, better keep her happy.
”So, what do I have to do? You won't get a chance to order me around very often boy.”
“Please make yourself comfortable there.” you point at the concentration of loungers, she really listens to you.
Everything goes as usual, she watches your every move and is reluctant at first when you come with the rasps.
An short explanation later she agrees and you rasp them clean and shiny...dangerous! But this way the wound she will inflict on you will be more clean.
Despite being half feline, all griffons love baths and so does Lyndwin. She tells you about her heroic deeds and you have to towel her dry afterward.
The massage also goes according to plan, you are about to wrap it up as she grabs you and pushes you over the armrest of a lounger, just like yesterday.
You expect her dry humping again, but she does something else.
Oh no, she has her bags! Where did they come from?!
Shitshitshitshitshitshitshisthisthist!
She lets go of you for a second to put something on, but quickly grabs you when you attempt to flee.
”You want me to get angry again?!”
“Nonono!”
”Then stay put.” she growls.

She throws you over the lounger again, ass up, and straps on her strap-on!
No way out, she might get not interrupted this time if you piss her off, the chance is not worth it...right?
At least she isn't going to kill you this way...except for your pride.
She has the 'classic cat' strapped on as she pulls down your pants, this is going to be messy. But instead of nailing you right away she grabs for something else, shoves a slim something up your ass and your stomach becomes cold from intruding fluids.
“W-What are you doing?!” you spout out in surprise.
”I don't want your shit all over me...” she retracts the thing, it looks like a huge syringe without needle “...now do what you have to do.” she grins.

A moment later it hits you like a minotaur pugilist, you hurry to the toilet and poop more than you ever did before in one session. She repeats doing that two more times until you only expel the water she injects.
Then she puts you back over the lounger, at this point you already accepted your fate. You can't run from her anyway, even if you manage to escape her, one-thirds of all the griffons are in her flock and she knows where you live...please, let a miracle happen!
Lyndwin goes over the assortment of lotions and oils ”Quite the collection you've got here, all yours?”
“N-No, I'm only an employee here, the Spa Ponies, Lotus Blossom and Aloe own this place.”
”Hrmpfh. Oh, I know that one.” she grabs one of the bottles and pours it over her toy, then she rubs it over your hindquarters.
”If you don't relax, I might tear something important.” she places the pointed tip at your anus and pushes forward, her talons rest on your hips but you just can't relax at all, ass shut tight like the virgin hole it is.
”Do that thing when you poop.” she whispers.
“What? Won't that get everyth-”
”No, there's nothing left inside you, heh, you also won't have to take a shit for a few days.”

Not wanting her to rupture your anus, you do as she says.
You can stifle a “Please be gentle.” before her toy easily pushes past your sphincter.
You expected a large amount of pain, but the relatively soft toy doesn't hurt at all.
Lyndwin pushes deeper until she bottoms out, her talons are placed on your shoulders and she slowly begins her humping.
It feels weird, good in it's own way, your dick stands at attention in no time. Lyndwin chirps in your ear between her breaths. The thing in your ass massages your prostate, you can deny it if someone asks, but you can't lie to yourself that it kind of feels nice...oh god, are you gay?!
One of her talons reaches for your prick, you can practically hear her grin as she starts massaging your member.
You grit your teeth and try to suppress any kind of pleasure you feel, but the forceful stimulations are too much.
You cum in no time at this alien sensation, your load hits the side of the lounger and coats her talon. After that she just keeps going until she is satisfied. You wonder how she can get any pleasure out of this, but then you see that her strap-on has a fitting end for her parts too as she takes off her toy and slumps down on a lounger.

You slowly get up, your ass feels sore...she was way too rough!
”See, wasn't that bad. Should've just accepted it in the first place boy, that would've spared you some serious pain.” she says as you start preening her wings in shame.
”Sure feels good, you can expect me here more often.” she says after some time.
You want to say something, but she just fucked your ass. And you came! You are so fucking gay!
NO! You still did it with a girl! You are NOT sexually attracted to males!
Oh fuck, what are you gonna do?!
”What's wrong? Your blush is cute, come here.” she pulls you in for a kiss. Her thick, round tongue ravages your mouth, several strands of saliva connect you when she releases you.
You start preening her again.
”Heh, I once did that to a guy, he struggled and fought and I REALLY ruptured his ass or something. He later died due to an infection, he was too embarrassed to consult a doctor, stupid fool.” she laughs ”Another one just killed himself, still can't believe it how dumb somegriffons can be.”
A talon starts fondling around your genitals, she looks deep in thought ”Man, what I'd give to have a dick, wonder what it feels like...”
“You'd probably be disappointed.” you answer her.
You chat with her a little about sexual stuff, she isn't that bad if she isn't angry.
Or fucking your ass.
She tries to make you defect to her flock as you finish, forces a last sloppy kiss on you and takes her things and leaves.
You grant yourself a bath after cleaning up and follow her example.
The Day Spa will be tainted forever with these memories...

The next day starts wonderful, some mail from Spitfire again, she wants to meet with you soon...
You wonder why the Wonderbolts aren't here in Ponyville, seeing all these guards and griffons...
Then pinkie starts eating a cucumber for breakfast, a long, thick cucumber, every time she takes a bite, juices splash everywhere.
It looks like...no no no, stop thinking about that!
“Pinkie, why do you eat that thing whole?”
She stops mid-bite and stares at you, then at the cucumber, then back to you, (the cucumber is now diamonds) “Mfsfhfhf mfffhshf hfmshs!”
Before she starts giving that thing a blowjob you better leave. You stroll around the market, looking for something that you can occupy your mind with.
A yeller announces his goods “Fresh exotic bananas! Come and grab one, a fruit from the southern continents! Buy three, pay two! Celestias favorites!”
A second one starts “The biggest and fattest carrots you'll ever see! So big, a single one will stuff you full!”
”Corncobs! Nice and tasty corncobs!”
Oh for fucks sake, is this some kind of conspiracy?!
”Eggplants! Fresh eggplants! Buy them while they're fresh!”
Shiiiiit, you need to get off this cursed market!
You fight your way through the cucumber and corncob salesponies and keep your distance from the chili peppers stand
Fucking hell, what the shit? Seriously!

When you reach Sugarcube Corner you somewhat calmed down, you spy through a window and see the CMC slurping away at huge candy canes.
Fuck, you need a place of tranquility, something bad is going on here...
You stray around Ponyville, everywhere something reminds you of yesterday.
Twilight is reading some perverted book about dickgirls again.
Derpy sticks her entire forearm into her mouth while eating a muffin.
This is not right, stuff like that never happened before! What the fuck is going on?!
Lyra sits on a bench like usual, exposing her total rub-able belly, looks legit. Then she yanks a huge baguette out of nowhere and takes a chomp, milky white dressing is oozing from where she bit off.
You walk away from her with the most blank expression.

After an hour of this crap Gilda finds you, she is angry, really angry this time.
“Gilda! Everything alright?” you ask her.
”You have nerves!” she grabs at you, but you make a jump backwards and she misses completely.
”You little dweeb morsel, Lyndwin rubbed everything into my face this morning!”
She glares at you with her one eye, you are sure you can see a vein pulsing on her forehead...
Does she mean the spa thing?
Oh shit!
“Gilda, I can explain, please le-” the Griffon in front of you jumps up and lands where you have been a moment ago.
Angry Griffon = Bad
”Stop running! You only make it worse!”she shouts after you as you turn tail.
“What could be worse than dying?”
”YOU'LL SEE!!!”
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Things humans are superior in than griffons: Patience, Reason.
Things griffons are superior in than humans: Catching humans.

You could run over water right now, but Gilda still catches up to you.
Fucking griffons!
“Let me explain, please!”
”You want explanations?! Let me explain why you don't fuck with a stjori from another flock! GRIFFON WAY!!!”
Her roar draws attention, but the passerby only watch. Okay, it's not like you expect them to throw themselves between YOU NEED TO GET TO FLUTTERSHY!!!
Sprinting like a madman you actually think for a second that you can outrun her.
Only for a second.
She pounces, you do a sidestep and win some distance again.
She just laughs “You little piece of shit!”
You just run for your life.
But Gilda eventually manages to drive you out of Ponyville. Then you tire out.
Just as you turn around she knocks you down into the grass and grabs your throat. While you wheeze and gasp for your life, she is hardly breathing faster than usual.
You should start working out seriously...
If you keep your legs after this that is...
”So you like getting fucked like a little bitch?!” her grip tightens, her other talon grabs your upper arm where your injury is.
”You not only let her fuck you! YOU CAME!? YOU ENJOYED IT?!?!”
She tears your shirt and the bandages beneath away, at the sight of the ,now bleeding again, wound on your arm she stops her raging.
”What's that? It looks like a griffons bite.” she says and lessens her grip on your neck.
You catch your breath for a moment and answer her “That's because it IS. Lyndwin got me two days ago, she was also responsible for your distraction that day. AND that's the reason why I didn't resisted her yesterday! I thought Rainbow told you already. She would have killed me for real if I put up a fight!”
She releases you and scratches her neck embarrassed for a moment ”Should've told me so, then we could have skipped the chase...so what exactly happened? And don't lie!”

You tell her.
Over the course of the story she becomes angry again, but not at you this time.
”That fucking bitch Lyndwin, she always tries to fuck with me like that! I knew something was wrong!” she growls as she looks for something “...Brynja...”
That said she lifts off and flies towards the mountain.
Wow, that felt like another near-death experience!
You reattach the bandages as best as you can and relax right where you are. It's kind of nice to see Gilda listening to reason. You REALLY could get used to this.
After some time another griffon lands next to you.
This time Frida bothers you, now that you have somewhat developed an eye for griffons she seems small. Still stronger than you though...
”Hey Anon, I saw you fucking with Gilda the other day.”
That avian...
She annoys you to a maximum with her first sentence...
“What? That's none of your business, bugger off.” you gesture her to go away.
You lie back down, but she doesn't leave ”You were eating her out right?”
“Oh for fucks sake, what the fuck do you want?!”
The small griffon jumps on top of you and punches your chest lightly ”Watch your mouth asshole, I heard what you and Lyndwin were doing, your reputation amongst the flock is not exactly the best right now. Gilda will tear your ass apart for that!”
“I already talked with Gilda about that *huff*, and get off me. What do you want from me?”
”Let's fuck.” she says bland.
“What? No!”
”Come on, there are not enough males and you're the elskhuga!”
“Does that force me to do it with you?”
”Well, no, but I-”
You cut her off right there “Then no!”
She growls, but she's not nearly as frightening as Gilda or Lyndwin.
”Okay, I'll get Gilda's permission and then you're in for it!” she threatens.
Using you as a platform she jumps up and takes flight.
This time you go back to Ponyville...

You spend some hours helping Pinkie Pie at Sugarcube Corner, then head back home. You feel tired and exhausted and chill on the comfy couch, you would read but all the Daring Do's burned along with your house...
That sucks.
A forceful knock on the door.
“Come in!” you shout.
From the couch you watch as Gilda enters...she never knocks...
Without words she walks to you and makes herself comfortable on top of you.
With her belly up she looks at you from right under your chin, if she wouldn't look like a convict with that eye, your heart would melt at that sight.
You know that look though, she's going to apologize for something...
”I'm...kinda sorry. It was your fault.”
Yeah, she sucks at apologizing though.
“You're sorry it was my fault?” you tease her.
She growls slightly “You know what I mean.”
“I'm just joking, you don't need to apologize, it's alright.”
”Okay.”
You drive your hands through her plumage and fur “Is Lyndwin going to be a problem?”
”Of course, she loves sick stuff and will do anything to make me look bad.”
“What's with the other stjori? I haven't seen much of her, not even at the spa.”
”I know, and if you will it's going to be too late. Bera has the nasty habit of only striking when success is granted. Keep away from her, I don't know what she is up to.” Gilda says worried.
“Does she want to claim your flock?”
She looks at you with the blank expression ”You know awfully little about flocks, huh? I told you they are like family, is the Apple Family going to be yours if you kill Granny Smith?!” she asks mockingly.
“No, of course not, sorry for the stupid question...do you know that Frida wanted to-”
”Yes! She asked me a few hours ago, that brat, she gets cocky from time to time. I told her to stay away from you.”
“Thanks. How old is she by the way?”
”A few years ago she was still a fledgeling, she is still a juvenile bird and hasn't reached her matrimonial age by far.” she says that casually.
Damnit, you're no scientist! “I have no idea what you're talking about, matrimoni-what?”
”You really are a curious one, huh?”
“You don't have to tell me if you don't want, we can do something else.” your ruffle your hands through her plumage, dat plumage...wonderful...a single tear of joy runs down your cheek.
”No, it's okay, I'm still a little sore from spanking Brynja.” then she starts explaining “When a griffon hits matrimonial age, her growth starts for real.”
“Growth? You mean like bigger?”
”Ugh, no. We get stronger. Back then when we first met I hadn't hit matrimonial age, it only started shortly before my department. That is also the reason for it, I left because I had to compete with other griffons.”
“Heh, you say compete, how did you end up a stjori?”
”Because I am the strongest.” she says proud “I was just looking for stronger opponents, then everygriffon wanted me to become stjori suddenly so I challenged the current one. She got lazy and too full of herself, couldn't accept her defeat so I ended up killing her unintentionally.”
“Looking for a fight and you end up the boss, not bad.”
”That's right.”
“There is one more thing I'd like to know: You're half eagle and half lion-”
Gilda corrects you ”And all awesome!”
“Yes, no doubt there. So...do you lay eggs?”
”Bwahahaha!” she turns around, resting her head on your chest and looking you in the eyes.
”No, heh, we are mammals like you and the ponies. By the way, how were you doing here all alone while I was gone? The horses didn't give you a hard time, right?”
Like that you chat with Gilda for some time, she eventually gets tired of it and you have hot steamy griffon sex.
Oh yeah, just like old times!

13 - Not The Proper Way Of Actions

You're about to close the spa as the black tinted griffon enters once more.
”Hey there boy, missed me?” she asks seductive.
She walks over to you, broad grin across her face and tail swishing from side to side enticingly.
“Lyndwin, please wait, Gilda almost killed me the last time you di-”
She grabs your head, palm blocking your mouth and claws closing at the back of your head. She doesn't hurt you, but it's still uncomfortable. In a split second she turns you around and gives your ass an injection, she pushes you forward and you stumble to the toilet quickly.
When you come back the biggest bathtub is being filled with hot water and Lyndwin happily pours some oils and lotions into it.
“Please Lyndwin, I don't want to do tha-”
She quickly repeats the procedure and sends you to the toilet again.
This time you take your time, brooding about how to get out of this. CURSED be the architect who made the window unreachable!
When you come back she is already putting on her strap-on, both of your wrists are restricted by one talon of hers and a third time she injects water into your ass. You come back to find her waiting for you, that's probably the most patience you will ever see from her...
She throws you into the tub and fucks you for 20 minutes...with you on the receiving end...

When done she embraces you and together you relax in the hot water. It's humiliating to say the least, shame dominates your mind. If Pinkie knew...she would probably leave you, calling you a faggot and whatnot...
You really have no idea how your marefriend ticks, huh?
Shut up you ass-hole, what do you know? Always sitting in the back of my mind, eating chips and popcorn...
...ask that bird!
“Lyndwin?”
Lyndwin purrs her answer lazily “What?”
“Why do you do stuff like this?”
”What do you mean?” she asks, not caring to open even one eye.
“I mean the toys...you're a girl, doesn't it seem unnatural?”
Then she DOES open one eye and looks at you ”That's a long story boy, and I'm not gonna share it with some elskhuga from another flock. If you really want to know, you can leave Gilda and join me.” she starts giggling slightly.
“Okay, you know that's not gonna happen.”
”Hmphf, whatever. But you're the first who enjoys it almost as much as I do.”
Oh god, she thinks you're enjoying it!
“I don't! That's not true! You kill me if I resist, what am I supposed to do?”
A grin reaches from one side of her head to the other ”Oh my, you're getting awfully defensive there boy, sure you're not lying to yourself?” you want to punch her stupid grin right now...
”Wash me.”
What? “Huh?”
”I'm not gonna skip the massage and the preening boy, and while you're in the bath you can do that for me just as well. Now get to it.” she points to herself.
That way she said that last part, sounded more like she will eat another piece of you if you make her wait any longer...
“Alright, no problem.” you say nervously and do it.

When all is done and she is done molesting you, you can finally close the spa for today.
Ass is still sore...you'll never get used to this, nor do you want. But how can you make her stop? Maybe Gilda has an idea, she can't protect you 24/7 but she will know what to do.
Just as you close the door, an old acquaintance waits for you outside...
”Took yer damn time sugarcube, what took yer s'long?”
Applejack leans against the wall of the Day Spa, forehooves crossed, a straw hangs out of her mouth and stetson on top, just like usual...
...and like usual she most probably has no good intentions!
“What do you want? I have no time for someone like you.” you spit out.
You still fucking hate her and are intent of showing her that.
”Aw come on sugarcube, don't be so cruel t'me...ah only did that cause ah like yer.” she says, drawing circles in the dirt embarrassed while sporting a cute blush.
If using someone against his will as a sex toy for her and her friends for two weeks while he has...magic induced delusions is her way of showing him that she likes him, you don't want her to like you-
Oh god, that sentence, I am sorry god of grammar, please forgive me...
“You have an awfully stupid way of showing that, leave me alone.”
She spits the straw out and comes closer, looking damn insecure ”Listen Anon, ahm really sorry it turned out the way it did, but ah really couldn't control mahself. Ah wanted t'tell yer that ahm sorry, and if there is a way ah can earn yer forgiveness, ah'll do anything, ANYTHING for yer.”
Forgiveness.
It reminds you of your past...
She got you by the balls, you really are fucking angry at her, but the word 'forgiveness'...you remember your first few weeks here...
Sure the circumstances weren't the same, but she just accepted you despite what you had done. Fucking hell, she even helped you with some stuff!
You let out a long drawn sigh, it doesn't feels like she deserves it, hell, you'd like to spit in her face and call her names! But...

I can't believe you consider doing that!
What? She did the same! And we all make mistakes! Have you even listened?! She apologized! The Element of Honesty, apologized! If it were Dash or Fluttershy I'd have my doubts but I can smell her lying from the moon!
Do you even know what you did to her? It was probably NOT the same at all! Not even close! And she still has her memory!
Just shut the fuck up, I'm doing this, go fuck yourself.

You snap out of your daydream “Okay, I'll think about it.” then you point a finger at her and give her a serious berating “But if you try something like that once more, it's over.”
Applejack bites her lower lip and looks down ”Alright pardner. Thanks fer givin' me another shot.”
She turns around and gallops around the corner.
Applejack was never a stealthy one, so you can hear her loud and clear whispering “Okay, ah did it, now it's yer turn!”
Knew it! She is still evil!
Shut it!
Rainbow Dash dashes around the corner and throws herself onto you, hugging you tight ”Ohmygosh! I'm so sorry Anon! Can you ever forgive me!?”
This is getting ridiculous, the two villains drive each other to apologize?
You may have your doubts about her, but you're not going to be an asshole now.
“I'll give you a chance like AJ, don't squander it, okay?”
Rainbow almost screams ”Yes! Thank you. I'll make it up to you, I swear!”
Like she came, she leaves again.
That was unexpected, but not unpleasant...
Good to know they are not complete pricks and have forgotten what humility is.
You walk home finally, you forgot something...can't be that important if it slipped your mind.

At home you play some games with Pinkie, she seems a little down.
“Pinkie Pie? Is everything alright?” you ask her.
She just stares at the playboard unresponsive.
“Is something wrong?”
You snap your fingers and she snaps out of it.
“Are you okay Pinkie, something on your mind?”
Her blank face is filled with a fake grin.
”Yes of course...nothing...WRONG!”
She stands up and walks out, not even finishing the game. This is not normal Pinkie Pie, she never fakes a grin, never avoids you and never leaves from a game before beating you at least two dozen times in a row...
That sounds like a matter you should consult purple smart about, Twilight once said something about having Pinkie examined about her unique abilities...

On your way to Twilight's tree you wonder where Gilda is, she seems to know Pinkie pretty good...
You enter without knocking like always and find a reading griffon, Twilight is looking for some books, working on the bookshelves.
The griffon has it's back turned towards you, so you come closer to see who it is.
Maybe it's Gilda or that Bera?
You sit at the table and take a glimpse at black tinted feathers, talons and beak.
Fuck.
”Hey there boy, here for a good read?”
You unrustle your jimmies, she is busy with reading that book and doesn't seems to be interested in you.
“No, just wanted to ask Twilight something. What are you reading?” you ask curious.
She lifts the book and faces the cover towards you, it reads:

'Magic Potions for Dummies'

Well, as long as she doesn't turn you into a girl she can read what she wants for all you care...right?
“You're not going to turn me into a girl with a potion, are you?”
She breaks out into furious laughter ”BWAHAHAA! No, heh, I like my partners male! Where's the fun in shagging a girl? There's no...”
She spies around, Twilight is in hearing range so she just smirks at you ”You know what I mean.”
You do not, but she doesn't have to know that...
Lyndwin wipes a tear of joy and continues reading.

Twilight finally has time for you, oh man, you had to wait for three minutes! Outrageous!
”Hello Anon, what can I help you with today?” she asks like usual.
You always come to her if you want something, you feel like an asshole...
“Pinkie Pie is behaving strange.” you say.
Twilight gives you a deadpan look ”Aaaaaand?”
“No, I mean really strange, not her usual strange. She seems less energetic than usual and today she spaced out during a game and left without beating me!”
The purple mare thinks for a minute ”Sounds serious.”
“Really? Wh-”
”No!” she interrupts you “Maybe her level of weirdness is just fluctuating from time to time or it could be the weather or she didn't eat enough candy or...I'll just ask her later. Don't worry about it. Bombarding you with theories would probably just confuse you anyway.”
“Hey!”
”Uh...I meant...”
Wait a minute “If the weather manipulates Pinkie, can the Ponyville Weather Patrol control her?”
She stabs you with her glare ”Please leave before you violate science itself Anon, there are a lot of things Lyndwin would like to talk to me about. SERIOUS things”
“Okay okay, sorry. I need to talk with Rainbow...maybe the weather...”
You leave before Twilight murders you for real.

No clue where to go now, you would tail Pinkie, but you can't break the fourth wall like her...
So you just walk around town. It's actually kind of pleasant when no griffon is chasing or stalking you.
After a little chat with Derpy, Mayor Mare and Nurse Redheart you go home, without any leads it's no use.
Just as you are about to give up you spot a pink strand of hair vanishing in some bushes.
That mare...
Forget it, you'll talk with Pinkie later and resolve whatever troubles her.

From the distance you see that Gilda just left your house and takes flight. Entering your house you expect a disaster, a raided fridge or just a general mess, but it's all clean.
The trash is full and on the desk is a big package.
You take a peek, the stuff the trashcan is filled with appears to be a bunch of shredded Playpony magazines, you don't remember those...what a shame.
The package on the desk is addressed to you. Opening it, you find that someone sent you a stack of Playgriffon magazines!
What the fucking hell is going on?!
You browse through a few of them, there are much more models in threatening poses than in the Playpony version of this, and it's less lewd, but it still isn't bad enough to get rid of it so you quickly hide it under your bed.
You never know...
When you go downstairs to plan the rest of the day you are not interrupted...weird, usually someone would barge in right about now with trouble following.
But this is fine too.
You place your ass on the couch and lay down.
...

Boooring.
You get up and outside, time to find some trouble!
After looking around, your attention is drawn to the lake, you see a few griffons circling the area suspiciously.
The closer you come, the more griffons you see. They practically besiege the lake!
There are at least 30 of them, either flying above or sitting at the edge, but all of their attention is focused on the water.
Is this some kind of griffon party? But Pinkie is nowhere to be seen..they sure are in a good mood, they chat and chirp happily from what you can hear.
You wink one of the griffons you know from the spa over, Ingrid is one of the most beautiful griffons of them all, but what do you know about griffons...
She lands graciously and greets you with a coy smile.
“Hey Ingrid, what's going on here? Looks like you're having a good time.”
”Yes yes, we are quite fortunate. Look.” she lays an arm around your shoulder and gestures to the lake and the griffons diving into it.
”Fish! Fish everywhere!”
They are catching fish!?
“What do you do with it?”
”Well, eating of course.” she says surprised.
You almost gag, the thought of eating another living creature is far from you.
“How can you eat that? Isn't that disgusting?”
The good looking griffon is visibly pleased at your uneasiness ”Not at all, unlike you and the ponies, we love meat in any form. Maybe you should try too, there is enough for all of us. You have canines after all...”
“Thanks but no, I think I'll pass on this one.”
Ingrid gives you a couple of squeezes ”Come on, don't be like that, fish tastes delicious.”

She walks towards the lake with you and pushes you down into a sitting position, then she lifts off.
Now that you can see the griffons better, you realize that there is not a single one from Gilda's flock...
Ingrid communicates with a few other griffons in the air via threatening gestures and shouting, then shoots down and dives into the water.
She emerges with a wiggling fish in her beak and swims towards you.
By now your closure to the lake has drawn some attention, you can feel eyes resting upon you...you have a bad feeling about this.
Ingrid skillfully guts the fish with her manicured claws and sits beside you.
“Don't you want to cook it first?” you ask her, then point to some griffons on the far side of the lake. they are obviously making a BBQ.
”No, grilled fish is nice, but raw isn't bad either, just has to be fresh like this, yes!”
Her beak digs into the big fish, that thing is at least as big as your forearm! It isn't completely dead either, her bites are accompanied by wiggles, your stomach turns.
The busty griffon holds the fish under your nose with an inviting “Hmm?” and a nod while chewing with a full mouth.
“Thanks, really, I appreciate the thought but this really isn't my line of food. I think I'll stay with apples and carrots for now.”
For a moment you think she is going to force you to eat, but then she just shrugs and wolfs down the rest of the thing, leaving only fish bones.
She might be beautiful, but her manners are definitely avian, maybe you should introduce her to Rarity?

Before something bad happens you say goodbye to Ingrid and take your leave, some griffons are openly staring at you angrily already, they probably don't like that you're a friend of Ingrid...
You march home, Gilda is already waiting for your sorry ass.
Shit, making these birds wait is never good!
Gilda is visibly upset, her plumage is puffed up, making her appear bigger.
Oh shit, what did you do wrong now?!

She speeds towards you “Gilpfoooh!” and her fist connects to your chest, making you turn 90° on the spot and landing on your back.
Several ribs break and you gasp for air, by now you must have more broken ribs than intact ones.
”You just can't stop, can you?!” she says, angry like never before.
You just lie there, probing for any internal damage her pummel may have caused, you can't take this much longer, at one point she will really overdo it!
She grabs you by the neck and drags you to her aerie, the low chances of escaping just diminished.
Your chest hurts badly as she throws you into a corner ”Do you know what we usually do with a traitor?!”
What the fuck is she talking about? “Urgh, Gilda...I didn't betray...anyone.” you stutter.
She jumps atop of you, pressing her beak against your nose ”We. Castrate. Them.”
Her talon dives down and jabs into your jewels, you scream from the top of your lungs and roll to the side while holding your balls.
Gilda has other plans, she pins you by the shoulders and presses you down, watching your pain stricken face. She must have developed a serious sadism fetish, what the fuck is wrong with her?!
When the pain moves up your stomach she pushes an elbow against your neck and almost crushes your throat. Any attempt in pushing her off is fruitless, she doesn't move one bit.
”I don't know what you thought when I let it fly the first time you did it with Lyndwin, but it sure wasn't a permission to keep going!” she hisses.
“Gil...da...please...”
The edges of your vision become dark.
”If being nice doesn't work, then I'll just have to make sure that you fear ME more than HER!”

You wake up the next morning in hospital.
Everything hurts. You are bruised all over.
Gilda is sitting at your bedside, tapping a claw against the sheets and staring out of the window.
Last night...this bird is nuts!
You look at Gilda, she still hasn't noticed that you're awake.
You groan in pain as you try to move away from her, the terror from yesterday still fresh, you kept your balls, but losing them would have been less painful. A LOT less painful.
You draw her attention, your heart sinks as her good eye rests upon you, not only does she look like a delinquent, she IS one.
You are not safe when she is near, you were a fool to believe it in the first place, you should have realized that after she 'removed' Applejack's cutie mark.
You hold your hands in front of you, expecting her to beat you again, one of them is heavily bandaged and you can't move the fingers.
Then Dr. Whooves comes in ”Sooo Anonymous, your second time here in the Ponyville Hospital. Youuu...” he looks at your patient file ”...fell out of an aerie. Is that right?”
Gilda narrows her eyes at you threateningly.
“Y-Yes.” your voice trembles a little.
”We had to perform an emergency surgery, you had so many broken ribs that your ribcage couldn't support your organs properly anymore, it's a miracle that your lungs didn't collapse.”
Gilda rolls her eyes “And when can he leave?”
”Hmm...well, he can virtually leave whenever he wants, but his left achilles tendon ruptured completely and he has lots of other injuries. He will need strong painkillers daily for a few weeks and walking is out of the question.”
He puts a hoof on your leg ”Anon, you will probably limp for the rest of your life.”
Haha, he's kidding “Uh, what?” right?
Your attempts to get up are rewarded with a great amount of hurt.
”You should take your painkillers now or it will get worse.” he says and gives you some pills.

The doc leaves.
Gilda rubs her neck embarrassed ”Uhm...I'm...sorry...a little bit...I've gone a little too far...”
Too far? You did not fall out of her aerie! It was all her doing!
Anger wells up in your pain stricken chest “A little bit? Gilda, the doctor just said that I won't be able to walk normally for the rest of MY LIFE!”
This fucking bird just ruined your life! “And you are A LITTLE sorry?! You said I can find protection within a flock, but tell me, who is going to protect me from YOU?!” you shout at her.
She doesn't like your shouting, her brows slowly furrow...
“Gilda, did it ever occur to you that a different species does not fit into a griffon flock?! It just doesn't work out!”
”What do you mean? Just because I had to show you your place doesn't mean much, many griffons need to be disciplined!”
“Yes, that's right, GRIFFONS, not humans! I can't bear with it anymore, I'm not fit for that flock crap!”
”What are you saying?!” her voice is serious.
“I don't want to be in your flock anymore Gilda, I don't want to be in anyone’s flock!”
Her eyes narrow, she frowns and the edge of the bed squeaks under her grip. After a few moments of staring at each other she breaks the silence
”No.” is all she says.
What the hell?!

She just turns around and jumps out of the window, flying away.
You hope that this is the last you will ever see of her, but you doubt it. Not even Applejack made you feel this angry and afraid at the same time.
You try to relax a bit, the pills slowly kick in.
Later you get visited by your friends. These ponies sure know how to cheer you up, even if it hurts.
No day passes without them visiting you, not all at once of course.
Pinkie seems to be 'normal' again, cheering you up cheered her up as well, it was still weird. They do a great job at making you forget Gilda.
Even Lyndwin visits a few times (with her bags), even if she is mocking you more than being helpful. She tries to make you join her flock, badmouthing Gilda all the while.
Not gonna happen, not only do you NOT want, but Gilda would simply murder you if you did. You need to get out of her flock ASAP!

Two weeks pass like this, AJ and RD are your buddies again, they proved to be real friends when shooing away annoying griffons all the time. You never thought it were possible for you to forgive them...
You are ready to leave the hospital on crutches, it really is about time, more and more of these birds started visiting you for massages in the hospital. If you are gone for a longer time, this could become a problem...
Anyway, you are out of the hospital and walk home on crutches, Applejack accompanies you.
”Ah still can't believe yer fell outta an aerie.”
“Yeah, well, you're not the only one.”
”Sure yer don't wanna have me t'carry you? Ah can take yer.”
“No thanks, I have to get used to these things anyway.”
”So why don't'cha come over t'Sweet Apple Acres, we're havin' a little feast over there t'day.”
“You mean Apple Family Food Orgy?”
”Call it what yer want, yer invited.”
Sweet Apple Acres, a part of you forbids you to set a foot on this property, but there is really no reason for staying away from that place anymore. Applejack apologized sincerely.
“Why the heck not.” you spurt out.

You are warmly welcomed by the Apple Family, a table is already set up with lots of food.
You are not the only guest, there is a griffon, she looks familiar but you just can't remember where you've seen her before...
You whisper to AJ “A Griffon? Are you sure? They eat an awful lot.” you say and stealthy point to her.
Applejack laughs out loud ”Oh Anon, always good fer a joke. That's Bera, t'was her who recommended t'invite yer.”
“Bera, hmm...” you rub your chin.
”T'was also her who encouraged Rainbow n'me apologize t'yer, she's a good friend of the family.” Applejack explains.
Bera looks at you from the far side of the table and you give her a thankful nod, which makes her smile.
Maybe not all griffons are bad...
Apple Fritter finds you and with the introducing words of “It's so hard to find a good listener.” she starts her blabbering again.
Half way through the food orgy Bera places herself next to you, you almost don't notice until she says something.
”Anonymous.” she starts.
You stop shoveling food into your mouth and turn to her. Bera looks...kind of nice, unlike most other griffons she has no grim looks on her face.
She has the least scars of the three stjoris in Equestria, the tint of her feathers and around her eyes is a crimson red, her eyes are light green.
“Nice to finally meet you Bera.” you extend your hand and she gives you a gentle shake “I already heard of you a little.”
”Only good things I hope.” she answers.
“In a way...” not.
”I heard you want to leave Gilda's flock, is there a reason?”
You look down your body and to your crutches “Humans are not fit for a griffon flock, not from my experiences at least.”
She starts giggling.
“What's so funny?”
”There was barely a griffon that did not heard you screaming that night.”
You rub your neck in embarrassment.
Bera continues ”Gilda is too immature to be stjori, she doesn't fully understand what it means to lead a flock. I keep Lyndwin close but Gilda is too stubborn to accept that stjoris should work together, she thinks she is an empress and forgets her responsibilities.”
Bera grabs around your shoulder and pulls you in, whispering into your ear ”Like protecting weaker members from getting bullied or treating them right after that.”

She releases you and goes back to her chair, proceeding with the feast.
You eat slow from now on, your mind preoccupied with what she said. Gilda sure is young for a leading role, she said it herself that she hit her matrimonial period only about half a year ago.
Damnit, why does it have to make so much sense?!
You catch Bera smirking at you once, Gilda was right with her, she is a strategic one, but you can't do anything about her being right...
It keeps you from overeating yourself and stays in your mind for hours.
But whatever, it's not your problem anymore, the story with Gilda is over and you're not gonna do the same shit again!

You enter your home, Pinkie greets you with a fanfare and flying streamers.
”Anooooon!” she screams “WelcomebackIwantedtothrowapartyforyoubutTwilighttoldmetonotdoitbecauseyouarestillhurtandthenIthoughtwecouldhavealittlepartyjustthetwoofusbutthenIthoughtthatyoucan'tpartywithjusttwoponiesandthenIendedupinvitingsomeponiesnonethelessdespitewhatshesaidanditendeduplikeanormalpart I'm sooooorry! Please don't be angry at me!”
Confetti flies through the air and there is a full fledged party going on already.
You expected nothing less from her.
Giving her a hug you answer “I didn't understand even one third of what you just said, but I'm not ANGRY at you, I could never do that! Why are you asking?”
”Nevermind!”
She kisses you and shoots off, doing whatever that pink mare does on a party.
Lyndwin, Brynja, Frida and Lija are present, you get the feeling that the avians are warming up to the equines...
You may not be able to dance, but you can drink!
And you do!
There are no fillies present so Berry has the strong stuff available already. In no time you are a drunken mess, Twilight has to call for Brynja to keep you from dancing. The rest of the evening is obscured by alcohol.
You wake up the next morning.
In your bed.
Pinkie in your clutches.
Nothing smells like vomit.
Nor piss.
Success!

Wait!
Your crotch is kinda wet...
You open your eyes...you spoon Pinkie, but someone also...spoons you?
You are in the clutches of a griffon. Black talons hold you from behind.
She presses you into her plumage. Awww yeah! Can it get any better? Pinkie, plumage, what else do you want?
It's just an idea, but wanting to know who this is without waking her up, so you clench your asshole.
Dat sore feeling.
Lyndwin...
Does she ever stop? Why is she still doing this?
Well, it could be worse. At least Gilda isn't going to beat you into a pulp for this anymore...
Wait, when did you start to, no no no, you never started liking this!

You successfully get up without waking anyone and get downstairs, your head hurts like hell, some water should fix this. And you need some painkillers too, the pain is almost gone but you still want to get rid of it completely...you don't even need the crutches necessarily.
Lyndwin and Pinkie eventually join breakfast.
The griffon brags about her breakthroughs in alchemy, it actually sounds more like basic chemistry mixed with a little magic stuff.
You listen only with one ear, something about working with Twilight and weird plans, you won't understand it anyway.
After urging you to join her flock she eventually leaves. You also leave after finishing breakfast, but not after pampering the hell out of Pinkie...you'd like to know how much she knows of yesterday...

With your trusty crutches you limp through town, it's tiresome as hell and your hands feel like they are about to fall off but the doctor prohibited the use of your left foot for some time.
Damn it, it's all Gilda's fault!
DAMN HER!!!
“Fucking shit damn fucking hell shit fuck!” you swear at no one in particular.
She fucking crippled you!
That fucking bitch! To hell with her!
”You sound like something bothers you.” Bera says while landing graciously ”Something on your mind?”
She must have heard you...
“Bera...you ever felt like you just want to throw everything away? And...just...” you fight with a lump in your throat.
She gives you a warm hug, you have never seen her at the spa, still she smells nice and exotic ”Don't worry, relax.”
You successfully suppress your tears and she releases you “I'm sorry, we barely know one another.”
Bera waves you to follow. She leads you to the lake, waiting for you when you need a break.
You both sit down at the shore, there are almost no griffons present at all.
”Tell me.” she says abrupt.
“Uh, tell what?”
She smirks and lets her head hang, watching you from a funny angle ”What bothers you, what you like, anything you want, I'm listening.”
“You mean anything? Like my thoughts about complex magical theories written by Starswirl The Bearded decades ago?”
”If you want, but then you would have to explain an awful lot of stuff, I don't just want to listen, I want to listen to you. But if you want...”
Is there a god? If yes, thank you for this creation of yours, this griffon, Bera!
You can't suppress a coy smile “I was only testing, I actually don't know anything about magic.”
”Phew, that's a weight of my mind.” she says in an playful act.
“There are some griffon related questions I have.”
”No questions, I want to listen, not explain. You can ask me questions later.”
“Oh...okay.”

Then you tell her the story all about how
Your life got flipped, turned upside down
And you'd like to take a minute to just sit right there
And tell her how you became the elskhuga of Gilda's flock in the air
In the Ponyville Hospital practically born and raised
Helping Pinkie Pie with her depression you spent most of your days
Making Cider, talking, planning all cool
Learning how to massage all kinds of creatures like in a school
When Gilda met you alone, and bit you real good
You were not safe anymore in your own neighborhood
Pinkie got out of her depression and you were in for a scare
Gilda started having sex with you everywhere.

14 - Almost Romantic

You currently sit at the table in the griffon cave where they negotiated for territory.
A single lamp illuminates the room. Sweat drips from your forehead.
You are not alone, there are five more creatures sitting around the table.
No one dares to say a word, too much is at stake. The tension in the air is unbearable.
”You must be stupid to think that you can achieve anything here.” Lyndwin says cold, but you can hear the doubt in her voice.
You reach for your glass of cider and take a sip of the cool liquid, the alcohol helps to relax but isn't nearly enough to make a difference. You also don't want to get smashed right now, you just can't afford that!
Ingrid smacks her cards on the table “Fold.” she is wearing Applejack's stetson, looks damn good on the busty griffon...
All eyes are on Dash, she smirks “All in!” she pushes her coins in the middle. Applejack is already out and you feel the pressure upon you as it's your turn.

You cannot lose, there are so many bits, why did you agree on this?
Why did you agree to play Griffon Hold'em with these guys?
Why?
Because Bera asked you to, that's why, can't turn down a good friend like her...
You have so little bits left that you can only go all in, you have two pairs but Rainbow seems awfully full of herself.
She throws you an evil grin and you say “All in.”
Bera raises and forces Lyndwin to go all in as well.
Heads will roll.
You have to win this, the chances of success are low but not zero!
If you FUUUUUUUCK!!!!
Bera revealed her cards, straight flush.
Rainbow bangs her head against the table and sends her cards flying, she just had a street, JUST...
Lyndwin is crumbling her cards, apparently she also lost...
Applejack laughs her flank off. You take it easy, you only lost one month worth of salary.
Only...
Bera starts shoveling her mountain of bits into a bag.
“Aren't you going to finish?” you ask her.
Ingrid pushes her coins to Bera's “We are finished, our flock won.”
“Wait, you teamed up?”
”No, but the money goes into the flocks reserves anyway, not Bera's or mine.” Ingrid explains “Also I never won against Bera so it's boring anyway.”
Applejack peeks outside “Aw shucks, already dark. Wanna walk back t'gether Anon?”
“Sure.” you answer.
Since the forest is dark and scary, Rainbow and Ingrid tag along. You wave goodbye to the rest and start walking.
Rainbow mocks you all the time because you went all in with just two pairs.
You lose AJ at Sweet Apple Acres, you wouldn't mind but Rainbow insists to accompany you to your doorstep. Finally there she gives you a tight hug and takes flight to Cloudsdale
...
Shiiiit, grow some balls and ask her already! She waits for YOU!
“Hey Ingrid, care for a little drink before heading home?” you try to ask as cool as possible.
The beautiful griffon stares at you, you can't tell if it's a seductive stare since she always looks fucking hot like that!
”Okay.” she says finally with a grin.

You hold her the door open like a gentleman, just past the threshold she elicits an unpleased “Oh. What happened here?”
You close the door behind you and take a look at what caused Ingrid to say that.
The room looks like a battlefield, apparently Pinkie threw one of her wilder parties...
You quickly clean the table for your guest “I'm so sorry, I didn't know that Pinkie Pie had something going.”
She eyeballs the unconscious party goers and sits down.
“Coffee? Tea? Beer? Cid-”
”Tea please.”
“I'll put some on. I only have mare gray though.”
Rarity made you buy that stuff for the rare occasion of her visiting you, talk about generosity...
”Mare gray is fine.” she says.
While the water boils you quickly hide some unconscious ponies in the guest room where once Allie Way was in, Pinkie included. At least it doesn't looks like as if the punch was poisoned anymore.
Ingrid asks you with slight amusement in her voice ”Tell me, I never visited you before, does it always looks like this?”
“Oh gods no, Pinkie usually warns me two weeks prior if she does something like this, I'm sorry about this mess.”
Your apology causes her to chuckle “I'm just joking. I don't mind a good mess. You should see my aerie.” she says sultry.
She seems so damn sophisticated, you have to ask! “Do you know Rarity and her Carousel Boutique?”
”No, why do you ask? Is she a friend of yours?”
“Uh, yeah she is. I'd really like to introduce you to her if you allow.”
Ingrid raises a brow ”How come?”
“Uh, just thought...you would make a great model for her griffon series.”
She gestures to herself “Me? A model? But I'm not nearly good looking enough for something like that.”
She's even modest about it! “Don't say that, you're stunning!”
Fuck.
You can see her blushing a little, her white feathers only accentuate it even more.
She has a pitch black tint on her feather tips and around her eyes, it makes her bright purple eyes look awesome all the more.
”You don't know what you're saying, stop it.” the way she said that sounded more like 'keep it coming'.
“You don't have to be so modest about it, you're the most beautiful griffon I've ever seen, and for all I know, I ever will!”
She has visibly conflicted feelings.

You give her some time and go get the pot of water.
Shit.
“Ingrid? Do you know how much of the tea stuff goes into the water?”
You really suck at making tea, actually it's the first time you do it. Since you woke up in the tower you never made tea even once, now you feel like an idiot having to ask your guest. There are no teabags, only the herb stuff.
Luckily there is a sophisticated griffon lending a helping talon ”Don't put the herbs into the water!”
She rushes to you and with a few quick movements she puts a tea strainer into the pot (you didn't even knew you had one!), then lifts the thing and rocks it slightly to and fro.
“What are you doing?”
”Weighing.”she answers short.
After a few moments of doing that she puts a certain amount of the herbs into the tea strainer. You want to ask her how she knows the right amount, but she grabs you around the waist before you can mouth any protests and sits down with you at the table.
Ingrid holds you tight, you grab around her neck and do the same.
Dat plumage.
You run your hands through her fluffy feathers, they feel like silky fur rather than like actual feathers.
”I get the feeling you like me?” she sounds way more aggressive than ever before, but what the fuck do you care? The hottest griffon in Equestria is...no...wait...you sit on HER lap?!
But what the hell, you already figured that griffons are a little more pushy than other species.
”Your feelings are right Ingrid.” you answer.
You are face to face with her, her talons start exploring your body as you try to feel every single of her feathers, roaming around her neck and chest.

Even though griffon breasts are as good as non existent while not breast-feeding, you love touching griffon chests! And even IF her breasts would be swollen with milk they would be located at her belly, why do you get off on that so much?!
It has somehow a lewd feeling to it, that's why.
You caress and ruffle her plumage, using your fingers to draw circles and massage her.
She also enjoys it, a talon that is gently kneading your groin gives you that feeling...
Suddenly she gets up and bends over on the table with you, resulting in your head meeting with the table surface. The tea almost got spilled but who gives a fuck about tea right now?!
She gives you a short probing kiss, then another one, and another until she plunges her tongue into your mouth relentlessly, literally tongue-fucking you.
Ingrid works on removing your shirt, she has to interrupt her smooch-assault to pull it over your head, then continues with it.
She lays her weight on you, pulls back from the messy kiss and asks you face to face, a few strands of saliva still connecting the two of you ”Do you know what would look good on you?”
Please don't say a fedora!
Ingrid brings her beak right next to your ear and whispers barely hearable ”A collar.” she encloses your neck with two fingers as she whispers that.
Her thick birdlike tongue flicks at your ear.
You push her gently at distance “I think you've spent too much time with Lyndwin.”
A broad grin forms on her face ”Of course I did...” your arms give way as she uses the table for leverage, pulling herself onto you again ”...she's my sister.”
Oh shit!
But you are way to horny to care right now...
A moment of weakness on her side and you push her off, get off the table and pick her up like a bride. Considering their inhuman strength, griffons are fucking lightweights!

You walk towards your bedroom, as you take your second step your left ankle loses all strenght. Your leg just gives away.
Not wanting to fall on Ingrid, which is squeeing in your arms right now, you lean backwards as the inevitable fall comes.
The leg doesn't hurt anymore. But since you are an unknown species they couldn't treat the achilles tendon rupture properly...and because you had no insurance. The result is that you now have next to no strength in your left ankle and never will again.
Ingrid grumbles unpleased on top of you.
“Sorry, my leg.” you apologize, what a bummer.

Pinkie walks down the stairs, she is still drunk ”Heey Anon, having fun?” she almost stumbles a few times ”You had a visitor but I can't remember anymore.”
Then Berry and Derpy follow.
Oh shit!
Derpy gallops towards you, she jumps and lands on Ingrid, hugging both of you.
”Anoooooooon!”
Arousal! This is brain! Evacuate immediately! This is an order!
Ingrid makes eye contact with you as Derpy has you in a choke, signaling you that she feels no different.
“Sorry.” you say to Ingrid.
Derpy looks up offended “You did nothing wrong!”
Ingrid leans her head back and groans “Next time we go to my place.”
After some embarrassing questions from Pinkie Pie you see her off, that went not as expected...
“And come see me when you have time, I meant the thing with Rarity!” you tell her as she leaves.
”I will think about it eventually, adieu.”
You have no idea if Rarity even needs a model of some kind, but they just HAVE to meet each other!

Suppressing the urge to spank Pinkie you deem the day done and make it to your room.
What a bummer...
When you enter you see a suspicious mound under your blanket. Someone, somepony or somegriffon is in your bed. Must be one of Pinkies guests...
In this case you can just sleep on the other side of the bed, they are usually too drunk to do anything after a Pinkie Party.
How come you've never seen a single one of them with alcohol poisoning? Or throwing up?!
Fucking magic.
You lay down next to the trespasser.
Hell, you could be having a sexy time with Ingrid right now, how could you mess this up so badly?!
As you slump down into your pillow you whirl up a considerable amount of feathers, someone ripped open one of your pillows...
Okay, that's enough. You can take a beating, but no one is allowed to damage your huge bed!
You sit up and pull the blanket of that guy, drunk or not this calls for a spanking!
You lost a lot of money, you messed up the thing with Ingrid and now this!

A griffon is lying there unmoving.
Some of these scars are very familiar...
You grab her and roll the avian on her back.
Light purple tint? Check.
Blind eye? Check.
Post-traumatic stress disorder kicking in? Check.
You petrify.
There is a predator in your bed...
What if she came to beat you some more?
Whatever you do, don't fucking wake her up!
Just as you form these thoughts her good eye opens in a heartbeat, a golden eye is set on you.
You can feel your face becoming pale and your balls tighten.
Back at the hospital some time ago you only managed to stand up to her because of your anger, but that faded along with the pain...now you just hate her as much as you fear her...what the hell is she doing here?!
She will likely kill you if you do something brash...
Why is she here? And why isn't she drunk beyond her senses? That would make things easier...like running!
“W-What d-” your voice fails you as a feeling of vulnerability envelops you.
Gilda leans on her elbow, never ceasing to watch you, why isn't she saying anything?
For what feels like an eternity nothing happens.
This day can't become much worse...
She is still looking at you, come on!
Shout at her! Scream! Get angry! You know you want it! She crippled you! Hit her until your hands break!

”Are you going to sit there all night, dweeb?”
Before you can answer she grabs you and pulls you down gently.
Dat gentleness, she must be in apologetic mode again...you don't want that...you don't want anything of her for the rest of your life...
But maybe you can talk to her without getting sliced to dices instantly.
She lies on her side, facing you, one of her arms rests under your head, the claw of her index finger draws circles on your your chest, not the bleeding ones luckily.
Then she starts ”I'm...really...sorry about what happened, I've totally gone too far.” she sounds honest like one would only expect from Applejack. Still it doesn't heal your leg...
You become a little less tense.
”And I'm sorry about your foot...even back then that night I didn't want to hurt you that much. Maybe I can...carry you from time to time...as compensation?”
It almost sounds like as if she is about to cry, you completely forgot that she is a sentient being too and not an emotionless violence machine.
Even though she acted like one.
Maybe you can forgive her eventually? But not anytime soon!
“Gilda, I need some more time.”
The griffon pulls you close for a tight hug.
God dat fluff, it's even fluffier than Ingrid's!
Your hands rest on her, ready to push you away from her at any moment.
Gilda continues ”Over the past few weeks without you, I realized how much I like you.”
Her grip tightens even more and claws start piercing painfully into your back, her voice becomes serious ”If you don't forgive me, I'll just take you to my aerie and chain you up.”
What?
“You're kidding. Right?”
”I just installed the anchors for the chains.”
“No you didn't.”
”If your next words aren't 'I forgive you', you'll find out.”
This bird is batshit crazy, but what the hell, somewhere you have to draw a line!
You try to push yourself away from her, but her grip is way too tight “Gilda! You can't just expect me to forgive and forget! Do you have ANY idea how I feel?! Because that's what a relationship is about! CARING about one another! What the hell is wrong with you?!” yes! More like that!
“You're not just some mate, you're my elskhuga. And I can't just let you run around and fuck with somegriffon from another flock!” she growls.
If she is going to kill you, at least you die without regrets “Then UNMAKE me your elskhuga! I already told you that! You're in EQUESTRIA! Not in a place without LAWS! Don't walk around and beat the shit out of people like you please! Fucking hell! YOU FUCKING CRIPPLED ME!”
Gilda's grip becomes even tighter and she makes a grimace “Watch your mouth dweeb!”
Fuck this gay shit “You know what?! NO! I say what I want! You can beat me all you want but I'm not going to be your little bitch! And you can tell Lyndwin the same!” that's right! Fucking griffons!
Gilda releases you and stands up from the bed, you jump up and spread your arms “Come on! What are you waiting for?! Aren't you going to kill me?! I thought it would be so easy for you griffons!? Just choke me to death! Or snap my neck! Or beat the shit out of me until I die! You almost did that one, remember?! Come on! Do it! I'm right here! You griffons like oppressing weaker species right?! Come on! Do what you griffons do best! You fucking bird, don't dare to just leave!”
Gilda turns around and leaves the room with a pulsing vein on her forehead, you're not going to let her off that easy.

You want her to do it.
It would make everything you just said true. On the way back out you do everything you can to tempt her, you know she wants to do it!
“Are you too weak? Is that it? Afraid of me?! I know I'm not under Celestia's protection! No consequences for you if you do it! I don't know why you are hesitating! Maybe I should spread some nasty rumors among your flock?! You damn bitch!”
You shout at her without holding back, not even caring about Pinkie Pie sitting on the kitchen table and having a cup of tea.
“GO ON! You fucking piece of bird-poo! Do it already! I'm waiting! You goddamn ASS-HOLE! DON'T JUST FUCKING IGNORE ME! YOU DAMN WHORE! AHHHH!!! COME BACK!!! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!!! YOU'RE AN PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR AN GRIFFON!”
Gilda gets outside and lifts off, you are trembling with rage as you shout after her “YES! RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY AND CRAWL BACK INTO THE SHIT-HOLE YOU CAME FROM!!! AAAHHHH!!! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!! COME BACK!!!”
You stop when you can't see her anymore.
She is gone.
Hopefully forever.
You hope that she gets struck by lightning while taking a dump!
You can't believe she thought she could just apologize and everything would be okay!
Lyndwin is next...you don't care if anyone murders you anymore, it can't get much worse anyway.

The next day comes, you somewhat calmed down but if you see another griffon...
Rainbow finds you as you walk around town ”Hey Anon, you have some time? I need somepony for training.”
A welcome distraction from all these avians... “Sure, what do you have in mind?”
”I wanted to run a few laps around Ponyville, gotta work these legs!” she lands and strikes a few poses, flexing her leg muscles.
“Dash, I can't even walk straight, how am I supposed to keep up with you?”
”Oh...uhm...yeah...kinda forgot about that, sorry. What CAN you do?”
You shrug “Dunno, everything that's not running I guess.”
Rainbow rubs her chin, thinking hard ”...hmm...nah.”
“What is it? Come on, out with it.”
”No, you'll laugh at me.”
“If it doesn't involve my genitals penetrating yours I'm not gonna laugh, I promise.”
She glares at you for a moment, then breaks out into laughter ”That would be an option?!” she spurts out.
“No, it would not.” you say stern.
She wipes a tear and comes closer ”How about some good old fashioned weight lifting?” she says with enthusiasm.
“That sounds absolutely reasonably, why would I laugh at you?”
Dash rubs her neck ”Well, you know...dunno.”
“Okay, but there is no gym here, whe-”
She gestures you to stop ”Don't worry, I have some weights at my house.”
She looks proud as hell ”As I recall, we have to catch up a little. You still haven't visited my home right?”
You nod.

Before you can react she is already pushing you in the direction of Cloudsdale. Whatever doubts you have, she is damn right about that 'catching up' thing. Maybe she can be your bro again...
You arrive at a small hill, there is a huge building made of clouds and rainbow colored water stuff in the sky “How am I supposed to get in there? I'm not a pegasus, nor can I s-”
Before you can finish she flies off into her house, only to come back moments later.
She throws you a small bottle ”I got it all covered.”
After chugging it down she carries you to her 'front yard' “Dash, that thing is a fucking mansion, you live here?”
A broad grin and a moment later you get inside. The clouds do not exactly seem to be very stable, but Dash just shrugs it off “Better than concrete.” she says.
As she leads you around, proudly presenting every corner, you can hear a faint labored moaning “Rainbow, you hear that?” you ask.
She perks her ears up.
“Do you have house slaves?”
”Don't talk crap Anon, must be Gilda.”
Oh yeah, greeeeaaaaaat, you totally forgot that these two are close friends, despite Gilda looking like a serial killer now.
Damn it, you just want to leave, but you can't let Rainbow down now...
She leads you to the moaning.
It's a small gym!
The bird you hate so much looks up from her lifting, then gets back to it, ignoring you completely.
Good.

The number of weights and devices is ridiculous “Honestly, you should rent some space in Ponyville, put all this stuff there and call it a gym. You'd make a fortune.” you suggest.
”You're talking crap again Anon, who would-”
“Griffons.”
She stares at Gilda for a moment.
“And that white pegasus with the tiny wings.” you say.
A little talk later you start some lifting, you've been in hospital and after that didn't really do much to become fit so you take it easy.
You place yourself so you have a good view of your new found nemesis. You'd still like to know why she didn't beat the shit out of you yesterday, but you're not going easy on her because of that.
Gilda repositions after a few minutes, she is sweaty as hell and her fur seems wet. She takes a seat that lets herself watch you.
The result is that the both of you stare each other in the eyes for minutes without blinking. She looks angry, you try to look angrier. You'd like to give her a serious berating, not the shit you pulled of yesterday but a serious talk. You can't do that with Rainbow around though, Pinkie was traumatized after she saw you flipping out yesterday. It took a whole night of pampering her to get her back to normal.
Gilda puts more weights on.
She wants to make you look bad in front of Rainbow!
You put more weights on as well. She notices that and puts more weights on for the second time.
You're not going to chicken out!
Second set of additional weights, are ON!
Gilda starts lifting, it looks like she has to put much more effort into it but she acts like there's no problem.
Then you start.
Oh god. Why did you do this?!
These things are now at least a ton heavy! You can't lift THEM!
FUUUUCK!!!
Yes that's right! Fuck it!
You do it nonetheless.
It's fucking heavy and your muscles will hurt for at least one month, but you're going to beat that fucking bird!
After just ten repetitions Gilda flashes a grin, she noticed that you can't do it much longer...shit...
Rainbow seems to be oblivious to what is happening, she just goes at her own pace.

So it's just between you and Gilda!
Good.
You put the weights down, your muscles ache and you don't want to keep going, but you have to!
You add another set of weights. Gilda has stopped and does the same, making sure you see it, she adds twice as much as you do!
Knowing you can't lift much longer and especially not much more, you stay with what you have. Let her boast, you'll eventually get her...
She starts fast and you follow her example, that griffon is stronger and you know it.
Eventually you stop and change the workout. Gilda grins evil and both of you know
Gilda 1:0 Anonymous
You'll get her...
Next is benchpressing.
You walk there, never letting Gilda out of your eyes. She lies down first and you spot her. It's the perfect occasion to give her a piece of your mind.
She starts to lift “So...killed some defenseless people today already?” you ask innocent.
Gilda gives you her deathglare, it sure looks scary, but you're not afraid of her anymore. If she kills you here right now, her true self is revealed right in front of her best friend!
She starts to lift faster and answers “No, haven't seen any unfaithful weaklings until you came.” she puts the weight into resting position and demands more.
You double the weights.
Gilda starts to lift them right away like a maniac.
“Not even beaten up some innocent bunnies? That's hard to believe, I thought that's your hobby?”
“I only tried to preserve your reputation! Lyndwin was mocking me in front of the entire flock! Do you even know what that means?!”
“No, I have no idea how you griffons tick. But if you prevent member from being bullied by bullying them even more, you can't tick very fast...”
“I thought you could handle a few griffons! Give me more weights!!!”
You double the weights once more and Gilda starts to have trouble, but still goes on relentlessly.
“How am I supposed to do that, huh!? Why don't I scratch them with my HUGE and SHARP talons!? Or I just FLY away with my WINGS! It's not like a griffon is naturally three times as strong as a human?! Right!?” you almost scream that, luckily Rainbow seems to think you're trying to motivate Gilda...
“Okay! I admit I made a mistake! But I can't hold your hand all the time!”
Gilda finally can't get the weights up, for a moment you are tempted to crush her with them, but pull them into their resting position before you get any worse ideas.

Gilda 1:1 Anonymous
You get onto the bench, Gilda removes ¾ of the weights and hands them to you.
It's a decent work you have to put up, but it's manageable.
“Why don't you just fire me from that elskhuga position?” you ask her serious.
“It's not that easy!” the griffon answers “If an elskhuga goes, the stjori has to follow. 'Firing' you would be 'firing' myself.”
“I don't care about your selfishness, I got almost killed on more than one occasion, I got fucked in the butt and I got crippled for that! All because I am your elskhuga!”
Gilda adds more weights “AND I almost died BECOMING the stjori!”
“I don't give a fuck. I'll ask Rainbow later how I can get out of this shit, you've been nothing but viol-”
“NO! Leave Dash out of this!” Gilda hisses.
One of your brows raises itself on its own “Finally found your achilles heel, huh?” now you've got her by the balls!
Gilda's expression is full of disgust “Don't you dare pull her into this! I'm going to kill you for sure if you do this!”
“How about I leave her out of this, and you unmake me elskhuga? Sounds like a good deal to me.”
“You little fucker!” she grabs the handle and pushes them on your chest, at the same time she pushes her crotch onto your face as well.
It stinks of hours of working out and a musk that is beyond sexual.
If this bitch wants it, you will fuck her brains out until nothing else in the world can satisfy her! Then she has to beg you for the dick!!! Muhahaha!

You push the weights to the side and get up, that smell is already making you horny...
You get up and face Gilda, she looks as angry as she can, even snarling a little.
Fuck her!
You walk to her, grab her around the waist and carry her around a corner, out of Rainbow's sight.
“You're going to regret this!” Gilda hisses.
Her talon grabs your groin, a little harder than you'd have liked. In no time your pants are around your knees and she is stroking you to full hardness.
You are not going to submit this time! Your hand reaches for her groin, but she intercepts with a talon. Luckily you still have a second hand, you smack it against her pussy...visibly a little harder than she likes it...
Whether it is sweat or sexual juices, but she is wet down there. You coat a finger and plunge it inside, circling and wiggling, probing for some good spots.
Meanwhile the staring contest the two of you participated in has detoriated into a messy make out session. Relentlessly you both try to arouse the other one, the tip of her beak scratches your cheek but you are too busy to notice until it draws blood.
Who cares?
She pulls away from the kiss and growls “I'm going to make you my fuck slave! I'll let every griffon in my flock fuck you everyday at least twice!”
She says that, yet she is getting wetter...the short but intense workout you just had nags at your boner. You can't lose this!
Suddenly she turns to the side and starts walking, never letting go of your dick.
She shouts “Rainbow? I'm gonna show Anon the sauna.”
“Damn, are you stealing my workout partner?!” the pegasus answers jokingly.
Slowly it dawns on you why Gilda never visited the spa...

You take off all your clothes and continue in the sauna.
“You're going to be MY elskhuga when this is over.” you threaten her.
Gilda just laughs “You're pretty cocky when you don't get beaten dweeb!”
Your nemesis sits there on a bench, steam fills the room as you close the cloudy door behind you.
She pulls you into herself and you align your dick with her entrance “Take that you bitch!” you say, then push inside.

You are now Rainbow Dash.
For some time now your entire house has been filled with lewd moans. They come from inside the sauna and there is no doubt who is the source of this.
Damn it, you thought that Gilda and Anonymous were having a fight?! What happened to that? All your plans lie in ruins!
You thought you could become some kind of an negotiater between them and get a piece of both of them...maybe even at the same time!
Damn this bad luck!
You can't form a single decent thought with all this moaning, let alone work out!
You sneak to the sauna door and take a look inside, your suspicions are correct, Anon and Gilda are fucking each others brains out! What you'd give to be between them...that would be AWESOME!
Wait!
They are in YOUR house! That has to be worth something...
Applejack would just barge in and demand a piece of the action, but what if that fails...that would be super awkward...
Damnit, is Gilda having an orgasm?!
Ooooh! To hay with all common sense! You need this!

You are now Gilda.
Rainbow has been spying through the small window of the sauna door, you know that she is after Anon secretly. And you've catched her sniffing your sweaty workout towels once...
But you can't think about that, nor do you care, you need to show this arrogant monkey his place! Without violence this time!
Old habits die hard though...you almost murdered him yesterday...

You are now Derpy.
Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins. Muffins.
Hey wait, what's this moaning from Rainbow's house?
Better just deliver the letter and go before you buck it up again...

You are now Anonymous again.
Gilda has her second orgasm and looks tired already, can't believe how fast they are cumming...
Suddenly the door springs open, Rainbow is having the hugest wingboners and the brightest blush.
“No one fucks in my house without me!” she shouts.
This mare is unbelievable...
“Uhh!...I mean!...What are you doing in my house?!” she corrects herself...a little late.
Gilda is still chirping and moaning from that orgasm, the entire room smells like sex and Rainbow doesn't look too fond of it. You are too angry right now too care though, you're not done with Gilda by a long shot!
Rainbow closes in and Gilda grabs her, placing her between you and her. Rainbows hooves press down on her cheeks, her blush would make Celestia proud.
Then the griffon stands up, turns all three of you and lays down again, now you are the bottom!
Gilda sandwiches Dash between the two of you as she hugs you and goes in for a messy kiss.
Her talons squeeze your butt all the time. Then your genitals get fondled.
Wait, Gilda has her hands still on your ass...
”I really don't want this Gilda, please stop.” Rainbow squees, she has huge troubles to suppress her lust induced giggles.
Gilda breaks the kiss “I know you want this.” she says flat.
Rainbow flips 180° “Oh no, don't make me do this.” she says, her breaths tickle your boner.
She lick the tip a little, then starts giving you a full fledged blowjob.
Since griffons usually don't give blowjobs the almost alien sensation of a tongue massaging your dick in every way possible is heavenly.
You grab a handful of feline ass and start giving Gilda a good time while taking a lick here and there at Dash's lower lips, she is practically oozing with juices!
You don't give a fuck anymore, dick has assumed full control of brain.
When you get close you start moving your hips, but Rainbow takes the message and stops. She flips back around, for a second she has a huge grin, then gives you an innocent look “Please don't make me do this Gilda, I DON'T want this.”
Gilda doesn't even touch her, she positions her wet pussy above your member and slowly but steadily slides it inside.
You didn't even notice that Gilda was holding you down until Rainbow couldn't suppress her grin anymore.
Dash's pelvis meets yours, you can feel her muscle contractions working on your prick expertly.
But you have only one dick, and there are two of them.
Gilda solves this issue as she sits on your face roughly, feels like she almost broke your nose but you can't show her that!
“Come on now, already out of breath?” she mocks you.
She rubs her hindquarters all over your face until you start eating her out.
You can taste her hours of working out, but you can suppress the urge to gag. You already learned that the horrible taste fades quickly...
Her claws poke into your chest as she uses you for leverage, grinding on your face from time to time while Dash is hammering you relentlessly, soaking your crotch in her fluids.
These ponies are always making a mess out of things...
Gilda is moving too much, so you grab around her thighs and pull her down.
”What are you doing you dweeb?!”
You ignore her distressed call and start working on her for good, you quickly make her cum. Milky white fluids run out of her pussy, you lap up most of it but Gilda must be making a funny face.
Rainbow giggles lewdly “Enjoying yourself? Tehe.”
When the bird has ridden out her orgasm she responds with a shaky “S-Shut up.”
After three more avian orgasms and two on Rainbows side you eventually reach your peak. But with a mouth full of pussycat you can't announce that in any way.
You pump Rainbow full of your seed, she doesn't notice at first, only when you go limp she stops her jackhammering.
She lies down on your stomach and groans “Uuhhh, I can't...anymore...”
Gilda falls to the side when you stop licking her, she is breathing heavily and all three of you are drenched in sweat.

With what little strength you have left, you pull them out of the sauna before anyone gets baked.
You fall to the ground and look at Gilda, her chest is heaving up and down.
Then you say between your breaths “If not for Rainbow...*huff*...I would have...*huff*...fucked you into the...*huff*...next plane of existence!”
She looks at you, she tries to look angry but she just looks tired “I hate...*huff*...you Anon!”
“I hate you too.”

15 - Chrysalis, The Dark Knight

Current location: Deep Everfree Forest.
Mission: Reconnaissance.
Reason: Rainbow Dash.

Some time ago she gave you another batch of Daring Do books. A new short story of the series made Rainbow flip the fuck out.
Now the two of you are creeping around, she restrained her wings for reenactment purposes...
”The ruins must be nearby, maybe we find a seventh, hidden Element of Harmony for you!”
She sounds like she means it.
“Me? An element of harmony? What would be my element?” you ask ridiculed.
She rubs her chin ”Hmm...dunno, maybe the element of...bad luck!”
“Funny. Sounds unlikely, but I would really like to see these ruins you mentioned.”
”I know, you said that a thousand times now. Just around that corner!”
You walk around a big boulder “Now that's what YOU said a thousand times, I think we are running in circles. Why don't you just fly up and take a look, Daring Do would do the same...”
Rainbow looks at you with an evil grin ”No way, where's the fun in that?”
After some more getting lost you enter a clearing, a welcome change from the dark, murky undergrowth.
”See? We weren't here before.” she says full of herself.
“Doesn't change the fact that we have no idea WHERE we are.”

But...
Something isn't right...
You listen intent.
The annoying sound of annoying animals is gone, not even the mosquitoes bother you anymore.
“You feel that?” you ask your companion quietly.
Dash's eyes are narrowed, she is spying around hastily ”Yeah.”
You can feel something watching you, it feels like you are prey, just like when Gilda is stalking you...
“Maybe Gilda is somewhere nearby?” you suggest.
”No. Psshhh.”
You hear some twigs break and steps from several directions.
“Let's go, I don't want to be here any longer.” you suggest again.
Rainbow whispers her answer ”Good idea.”

Slowly you retreat the way you came, but the bad feeling stays. No matter how fast you go or how sneaky you move, something is tailing the two of you and you can't shake it off!
”Damn, what's going on?!” Rainbow asks cautious.
“I don't think you need this anymore.” with these words you undo the bandages that restrict Rainbow's wings.
She flaps them for a few times, then furls them back into their resting position.
“You're not gonna fly?”
”And leave you here? All alone with timberwolfs or something even worse? No way. I won't find you that easily again if I get above the treetops, you know?”
Dat pony.
“You're a real pal you know that? But take at least a quick glance please, so we know the direction...”
Rainbow hesitates for a moment.
You add “Just a quick look.”
Then she sighs and shakes her head ”Okay, but don't move. I'll fly straight up and come back down immediately!”
You give her a nod and she takes off, a heartbeat later she is gone.
Time is a bitch, you have no idea how long she will take...it feels like an eternity...
She doesn't come back after five minutes.
“RAINBOW?!” you shout.
The oppressing feeling of your stalkers is becoming more and more uncomfortable, this is taking way too long, where is she?
“RAINBOW DASH!!!” you shout again.
You can hear steps from somewhere, Rainbow would've answered, this is NOT Rainbow...
You feel more and more vulnerable the longer she is gone, you walk to the next tree and lean against it. At least nothing is going to stab you in the back like this.
Then you wait.
Nothing happens for about 30 minutes. Now you are absolutely sure that something's gone horribly wrong!
You see a dark something moving in the distance between some twigs.
Time to get the fuck out of here!

You move in the opposite direction of the movement, it looked big...
Fucking Everfree Forest, someone should chop this entire piece of shit down!!!
The creatures follow you.
After 20 minutes of this shit you are fed up with it “SHOW YOURSELVES!” you shout.
Nothing for minutes.
Then suddenly Twilight pops out of a bush ”Anon! We were worried, where have you been?! Come, we'll get you out of here.”
You follow her without words.
You are not surprised that she leads you to the clearing...
“You're not Twilight, you're a changeling, right?” you say out of nothing.
The imposter lights up in green flames and changes to her real form.
She looks like a young Chrysalis, but her hair is more greenish. Apart from that and her size they looks pretty much alike.
Black fur, carapace on back and insect wings, cheese legs and gnarled horn, all check.
”Was my acting that bad?” the young changeling asks casually while shrugging.
“No, your appearance was just implausible, and you referred to yourself as 'we', even though you seemed to be alone.” it is way too easy to talk with her...but something tells you that you can trust her...
Several changelings appear out of the bushes behind you, they all wear armor. In no time you are surrounded.
Shouldn't you be alarmed? You should, right? Why aren't you?!
”Come.” the little changeling demands.
You oblige, you don't really know why but struggle would be pointless anyway, you are outnumbered 15 to one.

“Who are you?” you ask out of the blue.
A small part of the ground generates waves like water, the changeling just walks through it into the ground. You do the same and find yourself in a tube like tunnel that goes downwards at an about 20° angle.
”I'm Culex, offspring of Chrysalis.” she answers when you are inside the tunnel.
Chrysalis! The name alone gives you a warm feeling! You want to meet her!
”Where is she?”
”You'll see.” is all you get.
Suddenly she turns around, puts her arms around your neck and looks you right in the eyes with a huge grin. You stumble backwards, but a few changelings behind you stop you from toppling over.
Then her eyes and horn begin to glow, for a moment it almost feels like what Chrysalis did, but it stops before it comes even close to what the Queen can do.
You give her a puzzled look, expecting an explanation but Culex just hisses in disappointment and proceeds walking.
You really want to see Chrysalis again...why?! You only met her once for real!

The tunnel is spiraling downwards, in what you assume is a helix form, for an eternity, you can feel the pressure rising in your eardrums.
Since some time now you have to feel your way, the sun only illuminated the entrance...you are practically blind.
“Culex? Are you still there? I can't see.”
She giggles “Oh, all blind down here? Such a shame, your weak little eyes can't help you here, huh?”
You don't like her already...
“Stop fooling around, what if I get lost?”
”Hold this.” she whips something hairy in your face and you grab it, probably her tail or mane.
”What have you done with Rainbow Dash? I hope she is alright!”
”You mean that blue pegasus? We just made her go back to the wrong place, then she got lost on her own. She isn't interesting for us. The mare is probably still looking for you at the surface.” she giggles after saying that, bathing in her small victory over Rainbow like it was a major war.
After some more walking you slowly lose all sense of time. Then the echo of your steps changes and you can see several blue lights far in the distance, you must be in a huge cave now!
“How big is this place?” you ask in awe.
”Our tunnels span throughout all of Equestria.”
“And you are okay with telling me all this? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell someone about all this? I mean, the ponies aren't exactly friendly towards you changelings.”
Your question is only answered with a bratty giggle.

After some time an advise reaches your ears ”Watch your step now, or you'll fall to your death.”
An insect like buzzing closes in and someone lands ”The Queen will be here in a few days.” someone says.
Culex answers to the male voice “How long exactly?”
”We don't know, she is still busy on the other side of the ocean with negotiations. Some boars made a political mess over there.”
”Tell the quartermaster to prepare everything.”
They talk some more about stuff you don't understand and the male voice eventually leaves with the buzzing of his wings.
The cave is damn huge, it would take at least two days to travel to the farthest light you see.
Luckily that isn't your destination.
After a solid hour of walking you close in on some light blue lights.
The light seems to be emanating from blue mushroom fields, you've never seen anything like this, you need to grab one for Twilight!
But you don't have to, Culex gives you one in a bowl “If it dies, it stops glowing. You won't get another one so treat it well.”
Nice!
Organic flashlight!
Wait a moment.
You look back, your mushroom illuminates two dozens of changelings following close behind you. They are in a chaotic heap, all staring at you hungrily with their light blue eyes, the same color as the mushrooms light by the way.
You make a step to the side, they follow.
You make a step towards them, they back off.
You make a step, okay, this is getting stupid.
“What are these guys doing?” you ask Culex.
Culex answers casually “Oh, just making sure you don't run away.”
A knot forms in your stomach slowly “E-Escape? But I'm not y-”
Culex puts a hoof on your mouth “Shh shh, don't talk so much now.”
Looks like you are in trouble.

Culex leads you into a settlement of some kind.
Actually you are already in the middle of it, but didn't recognize because the mushroom only illuminates a few steps far. Apparently changelings have no need for light.
The ground is covered in gravel and you can hear water flowing in the distance.
Culex looks around, then leads you to a wall. On the wall is a chain with a pair of manacles.
She puts one of them around your ankle and leaves without another word, the crowd of changelings also dissipates, or at least you can't see them anymore. You can HEAR a lot of changelings though.
The chain is unbreakable, even though it looks crappy it could hold a minotaur.
...
Well, shit.
Maybe you should have struggled, now it's too late dumbass.
Fuck.
FUCK.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
At least you're going to see Chrysalis soon...maybe.
You sit down against the wall.
There is not much to look at, your world is reduced to the glowing mushroom, the gravel floor and the wall with the chain. Only some far away lights of similar mushrooms give you the feeling of being outside.
You can also see some parts of the mushroom fields you passed earlier, but there seems to be a building in the way. From time to time you see dark figures walking past the field.
How did you end up here?!

The darkness makes you sleepy quickly luckily.
The next day...well, there is no sun down here.
When you wake up it's still all the same, except for a bowl of something edible.
Dried something.
Not giving a fuck, you wolf it down.
Time passes slowly and changelings pass by from time to time, ignoring your pleas to set you free or at least talk with you completely.
They seem to all wear armor, is this a military outpost?
You get sleepy again after the longest, most boring period of time you've ever had to face.

The next...oh fuck it.
When you wake up after some sleep, there is a bowl with the same stuff again.
Later, Culex visits finally.
You waste no time “Please let me go, I promise I won't tell anyone. Just please let me go! I'm bored to death! At least give me a damn book!”
She just laughs, damn, you'd like to give this brat a lesson about humility!
Just as your shackles get undone the changeling guards are there again, the lesson is probably not going to be taught by you...

Culex leads you somewhere, your begging and pleading only makes her giggle.
She leads you to some weird building and pushes you inside gently. It's warm and humid inside.
She follows right after you and puts your trusty mushroom in a corner.
”Now clean yourself for your queen, you're a disgrace to look at.” she demands cocky.
Water sprays out of the ceiling and you quickly throw your clothes into the dry corner.
It's like a shower, only...different.
There is also some kind of a toilet...also different.
Anyway, you're going to see Chrysalis!
Finally!
It feels like a dream come true!
Maybe you can get out of here, it's incredibly boring...

You are about to wrap up the shower when the Queen enters herself unexpected!
She is drenched in an instant. Her wet hair sticks to her body as she walks over to you. The water flows down her body as she steps closer and closer.
“Chrysalis!” you spurt out in surprise.
You want to hug her, but would that be okay? She is a Queen after all.
She lays her forehooves around your neck and pulls you close into a kiss, her razor sharp teeth cut your tongue on first entrance but you don't feel any pain, her eyes and horn light up and you are drowned in her presence.
The last thing you feel is your cock hardening quickly.

It is morning, you are in a soft bed.
Your own soft bed in the house you share with Pinkie Pie.
You feel great.
...where is Chrysalis?
What the fuck happened?!
Was it all just a dream?
You open your eyes and look around.
Gilda is lying next to you, as does Pinkie. Fitting...without a pony you'd murder her with your dick!
You turn to your side to caress Pinkie a little, you run your fingers through her coat and scratch her in all the right places. She elicits a sleepy “Hmmhmm.” as you give her a undercover bellyrub. She is fast asleep though, as is Gilda. You'd probably try to kick her out if that wouldn't wake Pinkie up for sure.
From the smell of your bedroom and your sore crotch you guess that there was a lot going on in this room the night before...
You get up and downstairs.
Was it really just a dream?
You take a spoon full of CheerileeO's and almost cry out in pain, your tongue is one big hurt!!!
...
It was not a dream...

You think about this while eating breakfast without using your tongue. Then you get the mail.
Spitfire wrote you again!
Yes!
You like her mail. Didn't she want to visit you sometime? Whatever.
Her mail always a pleasant feeling to it, you open it and spill the contents on the table.
Just two pieces of paper...
One looks battered, the other one is clean.
You take a look at the dirty one.
Fucking shit in hell! What the...!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
8.000 BITS?!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!
WHO THE FUCK WOULD DO THIS?!?!?!

Your jimmies have never been this rustled...
No matter how crude of a sketch this is, it's definitely a human and anyone who sees this will know it's you!
This could evolve into a serious problem!
You quickly take a look at the other piece of paper, maybe it's just a bad joke!
Please let it be a joke!
”Hey Anon, I just came back from a mission overseas and came across this. If you really are the only human in the world, then you have a problem. Come and visit me some time in Canterlot or at the Wonderbolts Academy, maybe we can figure this out. Whatever you do, don't cross the ocean. Love -Spitfire”
Okay, calm the fuck down, you are not wanted in Equestria, you are safe here!
You flip out some more and study the letter of Spitfire, the handwriting and the bad joke at the end are definitely Spitfire's.

Eventually you calm down.
Still...
You pack the letter and the wanted poster into a drawer and get out, still need to figure out what happened after that changeling thing, surely someone is going to ask where you were, anything that gets your mind off that bounty on your head...
You walk around town, but nothing seems unusual.
The best place to go now is Twilight's!
She is in the library and there is a blue glowing mushroom in a bowl on the table...suspicious...
“Hello Twilight, where did you get that mushroom?” you ask cautious.
She grins sheepishly “Stop teasing me Anon.” you spot a blush on her face.
“Please tell me Twilight, I have something like a deja vu or a blackout or some weird stuff going on right now.”
”Well...if you insist.” she says, you hear a purr in her voice and then she comes closer, pushes you on a chair and sits on your lap. You've never seen her this aggressive before! Oh, wait, you did...
”After Rainbow found you sleeping in Ghastly Gorge you gave me this RARE specimen as a present.”
She puts her arms around your neck and the tip of her nose touches yours
”And then...we had sex.”
She gives you a small peck on the lips, you are too dumbfounded to react in any way.
The door bangs open and a griffon storms in.
It's Lyndwin “Where is it?!” she shouts madly.
Twilight jumps up and points at the mushroom “THERE!” she shouts equally mad.
Completely oblivious to your presence the two start oogling the mushroom while Twilight comments “It's the answer to all your problems, the compound I found in it is the perfect beacon between magic and chemistry and the-”
You just leave before you become intelligent.
At least you know more than before...
Wait, you had sex with purple smart?!
Chrysalis really fucked with your mind!
Not that that's a problem though, she's your friend and you trust her completely. If she doesn't want you to remember, you're okay with it
Everything for your Queen.

Maybe Rainbow knows more...
You follow the rainbow streaks in the sky and eventually find Fluttershy watching her in the shadows of a tree.
“Hey Flutters, are you watching Dashie?” you announce yourself.
Fluttershy turns around and has the most innocent look on her face...like always. All she does is nod.
You sit next to her, she seems extra shy today “What's wrong? Is someone picking on you? Shall I get my big fists out and teach them a lesson?” you playfully jab the air in front of you.
But she just blushes and averts her gaze.
“Hey, do you know anything about what happened since I woke up in Ghastly Gorge, I seem to have trouble with my memory...”
Fluttershy becomes a blush on four legs and tries to get away.
Not today!
You grab her before she is out of reach and place her on your lap “Now Flutters, would you care to tell me what you know?”
“Uhmm.” she finally opens her mouth “I...you...and uhmm.” but it doesn't really help...
“Okay, either way you tell me on your own, or I'll make you tell me.”
Tickle position assumed!
Your hands rest on her most vulnerable spots and she knows it!
“Wait! Uhhm...please...” Fluttershy wiggles out of your tickle death grip and hugs you “You visited me in my cottage not long after you got here and...you finally let me love you like you deserve!”
Oh gods! What is she talking about?!
Wait, if she used her drugs again it would explain your missing memories!
“Did you drug me again?” you ask cautiously.
Fluttershy can't look you in the eyes “Uhmm, don't joke about that sweetie. And it's not drugs, it's medicine.”
You've heard enough...
“Visit me again soon...please” she whispers and you let her flee.

Soon after Fluttershy has fled, Rainbow Dash comes swooping down. She lands with a bone-shattering impact right in front of you, making you almost shit your pants.
She walks up to you while wearing the cockiest grin possible.
“Rainbow Dash! Not you too!” you say to yourself.
This has to stop...those were only two of them, only two, two do not implicate anything!
Dash looks confused “What do you mean? Did something happen?”
She is your bro, right? You can trust her!
“Did we fuck?” you ask her blunt.
Her eyes look at the sky for a second, then back to you “Sure.” she says gleeful “All the time since you came back from that disaster in the Everfree Forest. ”
"What exactly happened?" you ask with one eye closed.
Rainbow grins "You really want me to say it?" you nod quickly "Alright, I found you SLEEPING in Ghastly Gorge, I can't believe anypony can sleep there. But uhh...I wanted to apologize, but you only wanted a piece of The Dash!" she strikes a pose as she says that "And then we had messy make up sex all the time."
Shit.
This is bad.
What if you activated their rape modes?!
Shiiiiiiiiit!
And you can't remember!

You give Rainbow a kickstart and leave, maybe the sophisticated pony got spared...hopefully.
You enter the Carousel Boutique, the doorbell jingles and you “Hello? Rarity? Are you there?”
Silence.
Maybe she didn't hear you, she is usually here at this time...
After just a few steps Rarity comes rushing down the stairs, measure band still around the neck and reading glasses on her cute nose.
She is aiming for you...
Her eyes meet yours and you know what's coming.
Rarity jumps, mid-flight she closes her eyes. If you don't catch her this could get ugly!
Your hands connect with her body, you lean to the side and spin around with her in your arms to get rid of the momentum she brought. The marshmallow pony in your arms seems to be in seventh heaven, her forehooves flail around and she squees and laughs like a schoolgirl that met her idol.
When you finally stop, she is breathing heavy in your arms. Her hair is a little messy from the spinning.
Her forehooves close around your neck and she caresses the back of your head as she brings her face right in front of yours.
Oh please, did you fuck every pony on Ponyville? Why did Chrysalis do this to you?! This will give you so many problems...
The fashion lover in your arms gives you the bedroomiest bedroom eyes as her head slowly comes closer, you can smell her breath, no breath should smell this good!
Then your lips finally meet, Rarity pushes your head into hers and gives you the frenchest french kiss. You are still trying to figure things out, but you have to quit this before you fall into a lust-induced sex-frenzy, this marshmallow in your arms knows how to kiss!
The moment after you pulled away from the kiss you regret it already, you really want more of that...
“What's wrong my dear?”
“Uh...nothing, I just...wanted to check real quick if you are okay. Are you?”
Rarity is flustered, a blush sits bright on her white cheeks “Is that really aaaall?” she whines.”
You set her down, promise to visit later and take your leave. You know all you wanted to know.

The chances are next to nothing, but just in order to complete the circle you HAVE to check if Applejack is...on the list.
In big strides you make your way to Sweet Apple Acres, Granny Smith tells you that Applejack is working in the orchards at the moment and show you the general direction.
Hopefully this won't take too long...
After a few minutes you can already hear her bucking. A “Heyaa!” follow by a hollow 'thump' followed by falling apples.
You follow the sounds.
Is it just you or is the sun much more intensive here on Sweet Apple Acres? Phew, sweating already, even though you're in the shadows.
Then you see her, at the same time she spots you. She just stands there, waiting for you as you walk to her.
“Well, look who it is. What a nice surprise meetin' you here in the orchards. Ah'm afraid ah have no time f'ya though, there's lots'a work t'do yer know?” the tan mare buck the tree she's standing next to and the apples fall all into the basket.
And here you thought earth ponies have no magic...
“Just a quick question AJ...” oh god, if you fuck this up she is going to chain you up again! See?! She is watching you hungrily!
“...uh, damn, how do I say this without sounding dumb...” you ask more to yourself.
Oh man, look, there is dust on your crotch!
Hey thanks, I'll just brush it off and-
“Ah think ah can spare a few minutes f'THAT!” Applejack has already pulled down your pants.
What the fucking hell? You tricked me!
Haha! Sucker!
“Applejack! Wait a second please.” you stop her.
Against your expectations she actually listens.
You pull your pants up again and do it the rainbow way “Did we fuck in the last few days?”
Applejack answers immediately “No.”
Thank the heavens!
Suddenly she pulls your pants back down “We made love, sugarcube. And not nearly enough if yer ask me!”
She gropes your balls'n dick and you pat her hooves away before anything stirs to live down there.
Applejack gets the message and steps back “Yer sure y'don't want a quic hoofjob? Or ah can suck her off.” she wiggles her eyebrows at you.
You fake a grin “Ehe, maybe later, I need to do something. Thanks, See you later.”
Applejack sees through you instantly, but all she does is shrug “Suit yerself Anon, I'll come and visit yer later though sugarcube, so yer better prepared!”

“Pinkie Pie?” you shout desperate as you come home, she is cooking something currently. You storm up to her and kneel in front of her “Oh god Pinkie, help me. I fucked it all up. LITERALLY!”
Pinkie hugs you tight, not caring for any batter that gets smeared all over you, and answers happily “I know silly filly!”

16 - Short Night In Vanhoover

In the past few weeks you had your hands full with new found lovers, in the end Chrysalis just made you shag all the Elements of Harmony.
If she made it for her own amusement or another reason you can't think of, you have no idea. You haven't seen her since...
But it also had its good sides, now Lyndwin can't get you since you are practically never alone.
You can't believe that they are okay with this, but apparently ponies are open sexually in these regards...

You are at home.
Pinkie is not here.
Neither is anyone else.
You are alone.
You take another look at that poster. That shit has been bugging your mind since you first laid eyes on it.
Who in the fucking world would put a price on your head?
This is ridiculous.
And the sum is even MORE ridiculous! One could buy an entire village with that money!
Better not tell anyone about this, someone might rat you out, and for that serious amount of cash...
You put the piece of paper back into the secret drawer...iiiit's actually just a normal drawer, but whatever. No one shall ever know of this, it's just too dangerous!
You go to the bathroom and wash your face, anything that gives you a distraction.
As you take a long good look at your reflection in the mirror you notice it. The color stopped changing. Finally, that could have been problematic if it kept doing that...
Since that encounter with Chrysalis, tiny blurry rings of green at the edges of your irises have formed.
It's next to nothing, but it's still there. The color reminds you of that changeling green, not a normal eye color.
Must be a leftover with the time you spent with your queen...
If that's so it's okay you guess, as long as no one is looking for it, it won't be a problem, it's not that apparently.

You enter the Golden Oaks Library to ask for a book, Lyndwin sits at the table with a set of her potion stuff.
The mushroom you gave to Twilight is already missing one fourth of its hat, but there are already several new ones growing in other pots.
Why is she so obsessed with that crap anyway?
When she spots you, she jumps up, grin all across her face ”Hey there boy, can you do me a little favor? I also have some good news.”
There is no reason to refuse her, she kept her toys at distance...
“Sure, what to do?” you ask.
The red griffon hands you a piece of paper and sends you downstairs to Twilight into the cellar.
“What about the good news?” yeah, you want them too!
Her attention is back on her alchemy equipment, she waves you off with a disinterested ”Later.”
Smart pony is in her cellar, even more books down here.
“Twilight?” you yell.
”Yes, over here.” her muffled shouts sound like she is far away.
Dusty tomes lie everywhere, this place looks ancient. Piles of books create a maze, when you finally find Twilight she is is digging through...books.
“Woah Twilight, did you find the secret cellar of the library?” you ask jokingly.
”No, I just don't...” she looks real embarrassed ”...Well, I don't clean so often down here.”
She might be smart, but she is still human...pony...whatever, you know what I mean!
“Lyndwin said I should give you this.” she snatches the paper from your hand and reads it in a hurry, then puts it away.

Her eyes wander back to you.
Not again...
Her horn glows for a second in a purple aura and a book you're standing on slips away, making you stumble backwards into a book pile.
She is immediately upon you, holding you down by the shoulders and giving you a quick peck on the lips ”Guess who's in a good mood.” she says, seduction dripping from every word.
You could push her off easily, but this pony is one of the few creatures in this world that listens to reason!
“Lyndwin will hear.” you say blunt.
Twilight visibly fights with herself, eyes darting to and fro between the door that leads to the griffon and you, but the reason is strong with her.
”Hmpf, alright. But make sure to visit me later!” she pokes you with a hoof while saying that. Last time you did that she tried some 'sex-improvement-magic', that was rad!
“What is Lyndwin doing anyway? She seems awfully preoccupied with her...”
”I promised not to tell anypony...iiiit's complic-”
”NOOOOOOOOO!!!” Lyndwin lets out a bellowing scream from upstairs.

You both hurry to her.
Everything seems in order, nothing is broken or is burning or exploding.
Lyndwin is crouching in front of a vial filled with a blue liquid, it looks like she wants to stare it to death!
”What happened? Did the aggregate state change?” Twilight asks her hastily.
”See for yourself!” the griffon takes the vial and holds it upside-down, the liquid doesn't move, doesn't seem so fluid now anymore “And the color is wrong too!” she adds.
”Damn it, there must be a miscalculation somewhere.” Twilight says as she walks over to her.
Before they start their science talk, you grab the book you're looking for and take your leave. And you need a good read, because you are going to take a train ride to Canterlot!
There is a certain captain you want to meet...

Two hours later you step out of the train.
Canterlot is a damn lot bigger and more shiny than you thought. Now that you think about it, it strikes you as...gay. But only a little...
But with two matriarchal princesses as sovereign it doesn't seem so out of place.
You quickly find the place you're looking for, a huge residential tower. Spitfire occupies the royal suite at the top, she must be fucking rich!
You enter through the main entrance and go to the reception, a unicorn is behind the counter and greets you “Hello and welcome, can I help you sir?”
“I'd like to visit Spitfire.”
The unicorn vanishes behind the counter and rummages through some papers, then he pops back up “I'm terribly sorry but she is currently working at the Wonderbolt Academy, she will return in two months.” he gives you a nervous smile as your hand meets your face.
Great, now you can travel over half the world...okay, maybe not that much, but it's still going to take some time getting there by train.
You could take one of the flying carriages, but that would leave a huge hole in your wallet...
Fuck.
You get back to the train station and take a train to Vanhoover, from there you will find a way to get to the Wonderbolt Academy, the mountain where the academy is located is more or less next to Vanhoover, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Just good that you got that book from purple smart, it's boring enough riding for 6 hours, let alone doing that on your own!
Maybe you should have told someone that you're going to be gone, but you didn't anticipate that Spitfire would be at the academy...
Gilda is going to be fucking angry when she finds you missing, you promised her a sex-off tomorrow, finally deciding who is the boss in bed...damn, that shit got real funny real quickly.
It feels like everything is as it should...
When you arrive at the Vanhoover train station the sun is already setting. It's a little more chilly here than in Ponyville and the city looks not like Canterlot at all.
There are skyscrapers and huge industrial chimneys, buildings everywhere as far as the eye reaches.
It gives off a darker atmosphere than Ponyville but the overall kinkiness seems to be at the same level.
You walk around looking for a place to stay overnight, Spitfire can wait until tomorrow, you are fucking tired.
As you walk the streets you see that not only ponies live here, but all sorts of creatures inhabit this city, from buffaloes over diamond dogs to minotaurs and griffons, you name it. Still ponies make out the bulk of the residents though.
You get a lot of stares...of course you do, no one knows who or what you are here.
You pay it no mind though.
Better find an inn or a motel quickly, it's getting dark.

The sun vanishes behind the horizon completely, only the street lights show you the way as the sunlight becomes weaker by the minute.
Your search for a bed eventually leads you to the dock area, there are lots of medieval ships and boats. One of them looks particularly battered, you bet that's a pirate ship!
Pirates sure are cool...
A diamond dog bouncer tries to persuade you to visit a brothel, the Red Lantern, what bullshit!
After another twenty minutes of strolling around in the cool night you finally find a cheap rundown motel. A creepy fat minotaur gives you the key to a room and you can finally get some shut eye!
About time, it started to become real cold outside.
The room is a mess, but you aren't picky, it's warm and the sheets aren't cum stained, what else does one want?
You take a shower and are about to hit the sheets when you hear some shouting, it sounds like the owner is being threatened or something.
Whatever, you have no real sympathy for that guy and you are far too sleepy to care for any kind of trouble.
Then someone stops right in front of your door, you can hear the steps, for a moment there is silence and you really want to sleep now.
Suddenly the door gets smashed to pieces, your heart makes a jump and a griffon jumps in!
A female no doubt, her beak, the tint on her feathers and the leathery skin on her arms are pitch black. The fur on her feline body part is a slightly lighter tone of black, but the avian feathers are pure white. That could be Lyndwins twin!
Her eyes are set on you.
She has a grin on her face that can only be described as crazy.
“Who the fuck are you?!” you shout as you jump out of bed “Get the fuck out, this is my room! I payed for it!”
The intruder quickly covers the distance between the two of you and pulls a saber from her belt, pointing it at your neck, her bright golden eyes are wandering up and down your body.
She is wearing a loose white shirt that is bound at the wrists and the neckline is big enough for her chest fluff to puff out.
FUCK! Is she...
“Are you a pirate?” you ask nervous.
The griffon grabs one of your hands and inspects it thoroughly ”Anonymous?” she asks calm.
You nod, better play along. A griffon can be bad enough, but a griffon with a sword!
”You're gonna make me rich mate.” she says with a raspy voice, then a diamond dog enters. He wears a similar shirt, but that's all they have in common, he has big forearms and his jaw is way too big for his face, it looks stupid when he talks “Capt'n, I think ther'a onto us! I heard something!”
The griffon lowers the blade, just to hit your face with the basket hilt a second later.
She knocks you out with that punch!
K.O.

The first thing you notice, apart from a hurting jaw, is that the floor is moving.
Then you hear the waves of the ocean.
You stand up to see that you are shackled to a wooden wall.
Light shines through a bulls eye, as you look through you see only ocean.
Fuck!
Can't be!
You got...kidnapped...by pirates?!
You scream and shout, after some time someone bangs against the door of your tiny wooden cell “Quiet in there, or you'll get a beating!”
Damn it, you can't believe it!
It happened so quick, someone must be playing a joke on you!
Fuck Fuck Fuck!!!
You rip at your binding, after some time you get tired of that and slump down against the wall, this can't be happening!
You are fucked!!!
Surely Pinkie jumps in any moment and screams 'surprise', right?! This can't be true!
What the hell is happening?

Two weeks pass.
Two fucking weeks of being imprisoned on a ship.
You are a fucking prisoner!
Your initial hopes of getting rescued by anyone are gone.
Not that they were big to begin with...
The few times they've let you out of your cell you had no chance of escape.
Where to? You're in the middle of the fucking ocean!
The griffon that overwhelmed and kidnapped you is also the captain of this ship, there is a crew of approximately 15 creatures. If it wasn't enough that they can beat the shit out of you with their bare hands, all of them are armed.
Fucking pirates. They are not that awesome anymore at all...
At least you don't have to paddle.
The captain calls herself 'Captain Blackclaw', her real name is a secret.

You hear some shouting on deck, sounds like they spotted land!
Finally! But you shudder at the thought of what Blackclaw has in mind for you...
The next day the ship arrives in some port.
One of the pirates ties you up, blindfolds and gags you and you get dragged off of the ship.
”Don't try anything.” is all they care to tell you.

”Here he is Capt'n, fresh and still alive.”
A diamond dog throws you over the shoulder, then he starts walking. He stinks terribly...
”Are we taking him with us?” someone asks.
”No, I will take him over at the inn, then get the bounty for him.” Blackclaw says, you will most probably never forget this raspy voice.
After a few minutes you get thrown on the ground harshly, it sounds like the entire crew is here.
”I'm not okay with you going alone, too risky.” one of the pirates says.
”Oh spare me.” Blackclaw answers “I know perfectly well what I'm doing, just shut up already.”
Griffon claws grab you and Blackclaw throws you over her shoulder, she is the only griffon in the crew so it's obvious that it's her.
You can feel her fluff rubbing against your face.
You miss Gilda and Twilight and all the others...
Blackclaw has a pep in her step as she carries you around, you can even hear her humming.
Sounds like she is in a good mood...
You loved it when Gilda was in a good mood...

The noises all around you tell you that you're in some kind of a settlement, why is no one helping you?
Still, better not try anything rash, this griffon will probably not hesitate to sever one or two of your limbs.
As you think about that she throws you to the ground, grabs you around your neck and hisses into your face “I'm going to fly now, if you put up even a little tiny bit of resistance I will drop you. And don't think I didn't notice you getting all snugly on my back.”
She flips you on the stomach, one arm goes over your belly to one side of your hips, the other one through under your arm across the chest to the other shoulder.
Blackclaw pulls you tight and lifts off.
Gilda used to carry you from time to time, when she brought you to her aerie, a compensation fot your leg or just when she was in the mood, when that happened she tired out after 30 minutes, and Gilda was stjori!
The flight with Blackclaw takes two and a half hours.
All thoughts of escaping are displaced. If not for the blindfold you would probably be shitting your pants, because you can feel her flying at incredible speeds!

After some time she lands and drops you to the ground “Phew, got it all in one go.” she comments.
Some people run towards you and hostilely ask “Who are you?! What do you want?! Who is-”
You don't need your eyes to know that Blackclaw is scaring these guys with her stare, it's the first thing griffons do when threatened.
”I am Captain Blackclaw of the Queen Annies's Revenge, I am here to get the bounty for Anonymous. I believe this is the lair of Ruby?” Blackclaw says sophisticated.
”Uuh, yeah. Uh...follow me.” the voice definitely belongs to a male diamond dog. Blackclaw is still panting as she throws you over her shoulder again.
You enter a building and after ten minutes of getting carried around you once again get dropped roughly. You land on a carpet and hear a lot of steps from all directions, then everything goes silent.
A feminine voice speaks “You are here to bring me Anonymous?”
Blackclaw answers “Yes, I am here for the bounty on his head.”
”Are you sure it is him? The flyer was not very detailed...”
You get ungagged and the griffon hisses into your ear while burying a claw in your shoulder “Tell her who you are!”
You waste no time to answer “I'm Anonymous...the only human. Where am I? Who-” a smack to your face shuts you up again.
”His hands are exactly the same as on the poster, look.” your hands get untied and Blackclaw holds them in front of you, spreading your fingers and almost breaking them while at it.
Someone walks towards you, you can feel a breath on your hands.
Then the feminine voice shouts right in front of you “Somedog get me Spot! And quickly!”
Spot...sounds familiar somehow, where did you hear that name?

After a few minutes someone comes running and immediately shouts with a squeaky male voice “Yes! That's him! No doubt!”
A paw rips off your blindfold and you are greeted by a female diamond dog. She has a gray coat and green scleras, she wears a black collar studded with red gemstones and a red vest.
Her eyes narrow “Did you kill my brother? Did you kill Rover?” she asks calm, but you can tell that she is boiling inside.
You had once a dream that you killed and burried a diamond dog with that name, but it was just a DREAM!
“W-Wait, that didn't happen, it was a dream!” no way, what the fuck is going on?!
Her face distorts with hatred, a heartbeat later her fist smashes against the side of your head. You hit the ground just as hard and the world starts spinning.
Rover's sister makes a gesture, a second later a bunch of guards are upon you.
You give Blackclaw a last begging look, her black and white features you will never forget. She grins and shrugs at you “Nothing personal mate, no hard feelings?” that said she follows Rovers sister and is gone.
The guard dogs put you into a dark, murky cell.
Was it not a dream?
It felt real, but many dreams do...
Shit, what in the hell is happening?
This is not good.
You may get executed if the dream wasn't a dream. But it was!
This is really bad...

You spend the night in your new cell. It's cold and wet, there is only a little bit of hay in one corner, nothing else.
This is going to be hell...

The next morning you finally get some food. It's a disgusting soup but you wolf it down nonetheless, the past weeks you weren't exactly treated like a gourmet anyway.
Then some guard dogs come and get you, they drag you through the maze like structure. It sure looks like a mine, but some parts look like a damn palace too!
You don't know what to think of this place.
You get thrown into a room and they close the door behind you. Rover's sister sits on a royal bed, everything in this room looks royal.
“Who are you?” you ask “Why am I here?! Let me go damnit!”
You look around for something you can use as a weapon.
”I am Ruby, this is my mountain and you are mine now too.” she sounds displeased.
Ruby gets up and walks over to you casually, suddenly and unexpected she punches into your gut. The next moment slump down, gasping for air.
Then she shackles your hands and pulls you to one side of the room, there she connects your binding to the wall.
It's not so different than on the ship, except that the room looks exquisite...
When you finally manage to catch your breath you ask her “Why are you doing this? What have I done t-”
”SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!” she screams suddenly, then continues a bit more calm “You murdered my brother and my cousin, is that enough?!”
This must be a misunderstanding! “I've never murdered anyone, I'm no murderer! I'd rather kill myself!”
”You fucking piece of SHIT!”
You catch her first hit, but due to your shackles can't catch the second. She hits you square on the face, then proceeds to clobber the crap out of you.
She thrashes you for fifteen minutes, luckily she isn't nearly as strong as a griffon but it is still painful.
Luckily she isn't as strong as a griffon.
Isn't as strong as a griffon.
A griffon.
Enters.
Blackclaw.
”Sorry stripling, there are too many bits in this for me.” the griffon says while shrugging.
Ruby turns around and lays herself down on her bed sideways as Blackclaw grabs you and looks at the diamond dog expectantly.
”Mash his face in!” she orders.
Your balls tighten in fear.
If this griffon hits you even once with full force, there is nothing left to mash in!

A pitch black talon encloses around your neck, Blackclaw turns sideways to Ruby and lifts her fist.
Come on, something has to happen! Something that stops this madness! A traitor! A sudden invasion! A comet! Anything!
Nothing.
Her first strike breaks your nose, pain shoots through your face and equal amounts of blood run down your chin immediately.
You scream in pain as her second hit throws your head back into your neck and breaks something else you didn't even knew existed.
And it doesn't stop.
After about ten more hits you lose consciousness, at that time you already lost most of your front teeth.

You wake up a few hours later, your entire face is swollen and the pain almost makes you faint again.
At least you are back in your cell.
You run your tongue over your teeth, confirming what you already know. Not even your canines are left, only your back teeth are mostly unharmed...
You have trouble opening your eyes. Your face is not much more than a place where pain roams free.
As you attempt to stand up you fall back to the ground, you are dizzy as hell all the time.
The rest of the day is spent weeping in a corner.
Why did you have to go alone?
Gilda would have tagged along if you showed her the wanted poster surely! Or anyone else!
You indulge in self-pity and make it to the next day eventually. Your face is even more swollen, now you can't see at all, you must look like a bubblefish.

Days pass and when the swelling died down you were sent to work in some mines, digging out gemstones for Ruby the diamond dog.
Occasionally you get beaten by her, but it is bearable, Blackclaw got paid for only one thrashing.
The loss of your front teeth isn't that dramatic since you only get that stinking soup to eat, you guess that it's leftovers from what the other slaves get to eat, and they already get only leftovers.
There is no chance to escape.

Days become weeks.
Working in the mines could be worse though, the common enemy fuses the slaves together. You've made some friends, there is even a minotaur, they cut off his horns and a huge weight is attached to one of his legs but he's a real pal.

Weeks become months.
You have no idea how long you've been here, you'd die to see the sun once more. Working underground takes its toll, you feel more and more depressed, even considering suicide...
The least they could do is put up a suggestion box, but then they would probably deny pen and paper...

More time passes.
A few weeks ago Ruby lost interest in you completely and as a result you now get to sleep with the other slaves in the slave pens and she doesn't have private sessions of beating you up anymore.

More months pass.
You lose what little was left of your sense of time. The minotaurs name is Stone Austin, he is the only one who isn't making fun of your missing teeth, that shit is a real handicap. Limping is no problem, but losing your front teeth makes you sound like an idiot.

Even more time passes.
The worst of the worst happened, Stone Austin wasn't nice to you out of pure altruism, he wants a piece of you!
He assaulted you when you were alone but you kicked him in the balls and managed to escape! The others avoid you now.
This bullshit just became even worse.
You know you can't escape him forever...

A few days after this a load of new slaves arrives.
There is even a little baby dragon! Not much older than Spike was the last time you saw him!
These dogs really have no shame!
The little guy will be at the mercy of the other slaves!
Damn it, you want to protect him but you can't even protect yourself! This place is worse than hell!

Another week or so passes.
The worst of the worst has happened, you've been friendly to the little dragon once during a meal, now he sees you as his older brother and seeks protection under your wing.
The bad thing: You don't have wings! And that isn't even meant literally!
You don't want to destroy his illusion of safety while it lasts though, even if it is just for a brief moment.

Another week in this cursed place, they made you work twice as hard.
The little dragon's name is Kiln and he is actually a she!
Kiln is a red dragon, completely covered in red scales, except for the belly side and spiky scales on her back which are golden. Her eyes are slitted and bright orange colored, almost glowing.
She is kind of a brat, but knows when to shut up to avoid serious trouble from the guards and the other slaves.

Another two months or so in this hell-hole.
Without Kiln you probably would have killed yourself by now, but you can't disappoint her like that!
You keep the 'getting beaten up's away from her, it's not something she has to witness.
You've been working on a weird tunnel, there are almost no gems and you can hear weird noises.
Kiln managed to steal an extra portion of food for the two of you!
Over the time she tells you of her home to the south, a fire spitting volcano, in turn you tell her about Ponyville and the griffons, she soaks everything up. She's a real sweetheart.
She doesn't deserve this place.
The next day you overheard some guards talking about killing a dragon, your face became pale that instant.
But you can't tell Kiln, but there must be a way to save her!
You keep her close from now on, even when working in the tunnels.

Two days later a large boulder almost crushed you. Suddenly a cold gust of air blows.
The boulder opened a way outside!
It's only a tiny opening, but still a chance!
A chance of freedom!
A way out of this damnable place!
The opening is too small for you though, so you waste no time and get Kiln!
”What are you doing?” she squeaks as you pull her roughly on one arm with you, there is no time to lose!
“Be quiet!” you hiss.
Her eyes widen when she sees the opening to the outside world. You grab her and place her in front of the opening.
“Listen Kiln, you have to leave me behind!” you tell her hastily.
”What? No! Come with me! I don't want to go alone! Please!” tears start welling up in her orange eyes, but there is no place for feelings right now.
Time is of the essence, you hastily tell her “This is not up for debate Kiln! Go to Ponyville in Equestria! There is a unicorn named Twilight! Or if you can't find her ask for the griffon Bera! The ones I told you about, remember? Or just go home! You can make it! Sorry!”
With these words you push her through the opening, ignoring all her protests, she falls away from the opening and is gone.
Even if she doesn't manage to get to Equestria, at least she is free!
You hear guards coming.
Immediately you grab a pickaxe and try to open the hole further, but it's more out of desperation than hope.
”See?! I told you I smelled fresh air! Get him!” they grab you, push you down and give you a good beating, then the part of the mine gets off limits for slaves by the threat of execution.
There is no chance to get out of here again...
At least Kiln is safe, is she?
You have no idea, what if the wilderness outside is even more dangerous?
Then you practically murdered her by throwing her out...
No, she is a smart one, some animals can't do her harm, also she is a dragon!
But now your only friend is gone...or rather free!
Time stretches endlessly as the monotonous days of working pass.

17 - Arena

Day 'you've been here for far too long' in these mines.
There is only the pain of getting beaten up and the labor of the work, this is what your live has been reduced to.
It's been some time since Kiln is gone, no one suspected anything, they just assumed she got lost and died somewhere in the lower mines.
Isn't that uncommon in this maze of tunnels...
What if she didn't make it though?
Not only would it be your fault, but you would also rot in this place, rather sooner than later, you can feel that you get weaker week by week.
It becomes harder to meet the quota, you get tired earlier and it is harder to get up in the mornings.
The beatings are also harder to suffer.
You don't want to think about how the future looks like.

Time passes agonizingly slow.
You would be bored if not afraid to get beaten to death on every occasion, but you also noticed that the more you beg for mercy the less they clobber you.

More time passes.
Stone Austin got you!
He hit you in the belly and raped you while you wheezed on the floor for air.
Now that you tasted the real thing, Lyndwin was a real sweetheart. It hurts incredibly, almost like a cactus gets shoved up your ass. Without Lyndwin's 'training' he would have given you a fatal injury. There is no doctor for the slaves here...
The rape thing was the lesser evil though, every time your heartbeat rises it feels like you're bleeding inside your stomach.
And it stays.
For three weeks you have this feeling.
It makes working even worse. You have to slouch to keep the pain in your stomach at bay.
It eventually fades though.
Every now and then the minotaur comes back for more, you resist only once more, he breaks four fingers on your right hand for that.
You can't do this anymore.

The next morning.
The guards wake you and the other slaves up like always, hammering against the bars and shouting insults ”Wake up you maggots!”
You don't get up.
You can't.
And you don't care. Let them beat you to death.
All the other slaves leave the cell, only staring at you while walking by, you know exactly what they think...'Another one'. You can read it in their eyes filled with apathy.
You just can't get up, you are too weak. You clench your eyes and give it your all but you only manage to move a few fingers. Your body is heavy and even breathing is a major task. Like that you lie in the stinking mud mixed with unspeakable things.
You have to fight to keep your eyes open.

All the others are gone.
A guard dog enters the cell to see if all slaves have left. You always wondered what they do to the dead ones or the ones that are too weak to work...
There is probably not much of a difference between these two fates anyway.
”One more for the pit. Hehe.” he says as he sees you.
The dumb looking guard grabs your limp form under one arm and carries you off.
You can't keep your eyes open, you are too tired.
Oh man, but you also don't want to sleep in for your own execution!

The guard brings you to a secluded area of the mines, there is a hole at the end of this tunnel, you can smell the stench of death emanating from it.
So THIS is how they treat the weak and the dead.
A second guard enters.
Fucking voyeurs.
Can't even get a little privacy for your end.
The guard holding you positions himself at the edge, the smell is disgusting at best. The dark hole seems to almost suck you in and you have the feeling something is watching you from the bottom of it, under all these carcasses, waiting for you...
Now that you imagine to get thrown into that pit full of rotting corpses...you try to put up one last fight, your struggling is not much more than a weak thrashing around though.
”Hey wait Mog, isn't this the one that killed Ruby's brother?”
The guard holding you turns sideways to the other one and shrugs “What about it?”
”Maybe she wants to do it herself since he is still alive and stuff.”
After a short argument they settle on bringing you to Ruby.
Great.
You would have preferred the pit.

The surroundings change from wretchedly poor to royal. You seem VERY out of place here.
Then you smell food.
Not the disgusting two-days-old leftovers but REAL food!
Food that tastes delicious when touching the tongue!
You don't know when was the last time you even smelled something like that.
Pancakes!
The guards open a door and as they step into the room the smell of deliciousness overpowers your senses.
”GAH! Couldn't you have washed that thing, or just waited until I'm done before bringing it to me?! What is it!? I hope you have good reasons to ruin my breakfast!” it's Ruby, and she sounds pissed.
”Uh...sorry boss, it's this slave here.” he wobbles you for emphasis “He's done.”
Ruby growls.
”Mog you idiot!” the other guard intercepts “Boss, it's the slave who murdered Rover and Fido, Mog was about to throw him to the dead when I thought you might want to know.”
You'd really like a pancake right now...
”Hmm...go wash him, I'll think about what I'll do with him. Now get that stinking slave out of my eyes before I have to vomit.”
Oh shit, she means you!
It's her own fault...she should install showers for the slaves...

You get carried away from the delicious smell and into another room, it's all the same for you.
They put you down in a corner and hose you down.
It's a little cold but it's water!
Sweet clean water!
”Stop drinking the water you degenerate shit!” you get shouted at.
No way! It's the cleanest water you've had since coming here, and the best: It doesn't taste like water from a recently used toilet!
”Hey buster! Should we scrub him clean or just make him less disgusting?” the guard with the water-hose asks.
”WE don't scrub anything Mog. Just give him a sponge and a piece of soap and let him do it himself.” the other one answers.
”Oh...okay.”

You even got to brush your teeth! The ones that are left...
It's crazy, you forgot how it felt to be clean. It's like a completely new sensation, even a new loincloth they gave you!
You regained enough strength to walk, even if your knees are still a little wobbly.
They lead you to Ruby's bedroom and chain you to the wall where Blackclaw clobbered the teeth out of your face.
Your fucking teeth...
As the guard dogs leave the room and close the door behind them, you run a finger over your gums where normally your front teeth would be.
They made you brush your teeth...
Fucking assholes.
Your stomach starts gurgling as you wait for something to happen.
Paaaaancakes. God, you'd kill a dozen for a single one.
You don't even remember how they taste...

Eventually Ruby enters the room with a smug grin.
You don't look her in the eyes, provoking her could lead to a situation worse than death, and death you prefer.
You get from a sitting position on your knees, it's something you remember from her earlier beatings.
”Well, well Anonymous. Didn't make it even half as long as a normal slave.” she sounds amused “Tell me, are humans generally so weak or are you just an exception?”
“...I don't know.” you say humble.
She raises an eyebrow “What's that supposed to mean?”
“I...never met another human, I'm the only one.”
”Hmm...” as she thinks your stomach gurgles audibly, Ruby musters you from tip to toe “Do you know what I do to useless slaves that can't work in the mines?”
“That...pit?”
She grins ”Wrong! I sell them to get butchered in the arena, the prices for them are mocking at best but better than nothing. Do you want me to sell you to them? That would be a certain death sentence for you. Of course if you can fight combat hardened gladiators in full armor with your bare hands you can take your chances of course. Hehe.” she chuckles lightly.
“I...I...”
”What? I can't hear you?”
“I don't care anymore! Just get it over with!” you spurt out.
Tears run down your cheeks and you start sobbing.
You can't take it anymore.
Ruby frowns and scoffs “Fine. I actually wanted to make you my personal slave, with privileges and all, but now I'm going to sell you for real! Dumb slave, you can die for all I care. I have hundreds like you!”
She gets up and marches out angrily.
You collapse on the floor, no need to try hard anymore...

Days later you are held in a dungeon near the arena in the city.
The city is called Haven and you are in the feral lands near the border to the land of the griffons, told you one of the slaves.
Haven is also not a 'haven', the name was ironically chosen. Thugs, outlaws and criminals populate the city.
You heard that you are due to next week, then you will be slaughtered like cattle for the amusement of the crowds.
”You should be honored.” says Pluto, a fellow arena slave and diamond dog “The champion of the biannual tournament gets to slaughter us.”
“Yeah, honor my ass.” you answer grumpy.
”Hey, we actually have a glimpse of hope! Since our enemy will-”
“You mean our butcher.” you correct him.
”Whatever, we will fight against the champion 25 to 1! If we can beat him we are free! We even get weapons! We HAVE a REAL chance!” he says with enthusiasm.
“We'll see, I doubt that though.”
”Come on, don't be like that.” he pokes you with an elbow.
“You know who the champion is?” you ask him.
”No, there isn't one yet. We will fight him right after the finals. He will be tired and eventually even be wounded!”
Pluto keeps talking actual hope into you, it feels good to have someone you can talk with again.
He became a slave because he had so many debts, he sold himself to protect his family from loan sharks. It's funny how in this land the slaves are the real heroes...
For the next few days you get fed properly and Pluto even makes you practice a little with the others.

By the end of the week you are motivated enough to kick some champions ass.
All of you get chained together and together you get cooped up into a wagon and transported to the arena.
It's the day of days, time to spill some blood...
”...and get our freedom back!” Pluto cheers to the group of slaves, not that any of you needed much more motivation, you are ready to go!
You all get locked up one last time before the fight, through a small barred window at the top of the room you can see the arena grounds. There is still some fighting going on.
A huge minotaur in red armor fights against a griffon with black stained mail and scale armor.
The fight is brutal and ferocious, you can actually feel the two contestants scream and shout at each other.
Then the minotaur swings his weapon in a wide arc, missing the fast griffon by a long shot. The black bird wastes no time and uses the minotaurs sloppy movements to hit his helmet off of his head.
The minotaur tries to hit the bird-cat with the pommel of his axe, but his movements are way too quick, he deflects the strike with his basked rapier.
It looks like the griffon is just playing with the minotaur, then, after an especially sloppy movement, the griffon drives his weapon into the minotaurs head, splitting it in two. A fountain of blood surges out of the fatal wound.

”Listen slaves! You will now get your weapons! Everyone gets only a single one, a big two handed weapon or a small one with a shield, no armor!” a arena guard says while opening the door to the cell.
Finally!
You get a small axe and a crappy wooden round shield.
When everyone has a weapon you get led to the entrance gate of the battle grounds.
A stray thought of rebellion shoots through your head, but then you get a glimpse of one of the heavier armored guards, and there are like twenty more of them.
Looks like your freedom waits for you in the arena!

The gate opens.
A barker yells through a funnel “And here are the adversaries, they volunteered to fight the champion for their freedom! A grand chance for them, a big challenge for the champion!”
What the fuck? You didn't volunteer shit!
You all walk in unison to the middle of the circular arena, there are spectators cheering from all sides.
As you pass the dead minotaur you notice that his armor isn't red, it's all blood.
The crowd goes silent, it feels unnatural, so many quiet people.
Then a fat diamond dog on a terrace stands up, he looks like the boss of all of this.
The griffon gladiator is just a short distance away.
He looks terrifying, you were a fool to think you could just walk in here, poke some random gladiator champion to death and be a free man once more...
He is clad in armor from tip to toe, for all you know there could be a robot in that armor...wait, what's a robot?

The fat dog holds up a white piece of cloth, the clean fabric stands out from the dark setting all around.
You expect some kind of speech, but he only throws the stuff into the arena.
”When it touches the ground, it begins.” Pluto whispers to you.
The contestants face each other, the single gladiator against the hoard of slaves.
There is not a single muscle in your body that is even a little bit relaxed as you watch the light cloth fall to the sands.
You pray for a gust of air that carries the cloth out of the arena, then you would all laugh and say how ridiculous this all is and you all become friends and-

The cloth touches the ground.
”STAY TOGETHER!” Pluto screams.
The armored bird retreats a few steps, he sticks his weapon in the sand and stretches.
You can't believe this, is he mocking you?!
Two of your fellow fighters, both diamond dogs, nod to each other, and take their chances, storming at the seemingly vulnerable champion.
”No! Come back you idiots!” but they ignore Pluto's orders.
One of them has a shield and a sword, the other one a big sledgehammer.
They come into reach and swing their weapons at the griffon.
With ease he eludes their slow strikes with a sidestep, you didn't see him picking up his rapier, but now he thrusts it simply through the slave's shield into his body.
The champion releases his grip on his weapon and the slave falls backwards into the sand, the champ's weapon sticking out of him like a flagpole.
The other slave that attacked is shocked and turns around to come back to you, but the champion has already his armored claws on him.
Many times laid a griffon his talons around your neck, but what you see now rustles your jimmies tremendously!
One talon is around the slave's neck, the other one grabs his wrist. Your comrade screams in agony as the champion pulls him apart, with an audible 'plop' his shoulder jumps out of its joint but the champion doesn't stop there.
His blood shot eyes bulge out of his head and his tongue hangs out of his mouth as the grip around his neck tightens.
Then the tendons yield and rip, his arm gets ripped off, a fountain of blood surges out of the wound and hits the champion.
The diamond dog struggles as much as he can but it only makes the griffon laugh.
He pushes the slave into the sand face first, places a knee on the middle of his back and grabs his head, then he slowly bends it backwards.
Cruel grunts of agony escape him as his neck gets bent at an unnatural angle, he screams, then his neck breaks and it's over.
All of you could only watch like you were in a trance.
You shake your head, focus!
The crowd is raging, you can't believe anyone can enjoy watching this!

These two were stupid! Your strength is your numbers, not your skills!
As you take a look at your fellow gladiators you see that any enthusiasm they had has left, even Pluto looks afraid.
You poke him with your elbow and he snaps out of it.
”Okay! Listen up, stay together! Let's earn our freedom, come on!”
You trained for this, an entire week! As a unit you march towards the champion who is dumbfound at the discipline you show.
He pulls his weapon out of the fallen “UUUHHH!” who is not dead yet, but a quick stab into his skull changes that.
You actually don't feel as safe behind your shield as you did before for some reason, marching at the front of your chaotic formation doesn't strike you as a good idea anymore...
Nothing you can do about it! It isn't just about you, your comrades want to survive this just as much as you do, maybe even more...Pluto has a family and he isn't the only one...

The formation of slaves walks steadily towards the armored champion, you are in the middle, right in front of Pluto, his spear at the ready.
Just out of weapons reach Pluto shouts “CRAB!”
Training pays off.
The crowd goes wild as you work perfectly together.
Quickly the front row feints an attack, mocks and distracts the champion as the others run left and right, circling around the champion and closing around him like the claw of a crab. He is trapped now!
Or he would if he had no wings!
Laughing the bird lifts off, rendering your formation completely useless.
You see many terrified faces amongst your comrades and they are right, that didn't go according to plan.
Shit!
The champion lands at a safe distance, you can feel that this is going to be a bitch to fight.
The only things that you trained are staying together and the 'crab', it was hard enough for Pluto to motivate these slaves to train for that, for a 'what if the enemy can fly'-scenario wasn't enough time to train for.

Demotivated you let your guard down, as do many others. The sudden roaring of the crowd tells you that something just happened. You look around and see someone with a severed head and another one is falling to the ground, trying to catch his innards as they spill out of his sliced open belly.
The griffon stands a dozen paces away, blood dripping from his rapier.
Bastard...
The fear to suffer the same fate fuses the unit of slaves together, the wounded get left behind as you once again march for the champion.
”We need to get this over with before he kills too many of us!” Pluto shouts.
Once more you try the crab tactic, but the champion throws a fist against your shield, breaking it completely, while butchering the two on your left, all while bashing through your thinned out formation.
It feels like he broke your arm but you have to see this through!
No time for whining!

Slowly a thought grows in your mind as the champion picks off one after another, every time a slave actually manages to hit the trained gladiator, his crappy weapon only scratches the black paint on his armor.
The crowd goes apeshit every time the champion picks one of you off and tortures him to death.
It's unbelievably cruel.
You don't want that to happen to you!

He lifts off once more and in a moment of distraction grabs PLUTO!
His spear breaks like a twig and he screams and struggles fruitlessly.
The champion grabs Pluto's head from behind and in the process gouges out both of his eyes!
You run.
You have to get to him!
Save him!
A short agonizing scream and it's over.
Not much of his head is left.
The champion's talon easily squashed his skull.
What is left of your group falls into panic, scatters or tries to pry open the gates.
You just stand there.
Watching the champion as his gaze falls upon a lone slave, you.
You are petrified with fear. Looking death in the eyes never gets boring.

The black visored sallet helmet hides his face, a neck guard protects his lower head and neck.
What is not behind thick layers of dark steel scales is protected by riveted chainmail.
Only the feathers of his wings peek out from under the scale armor of his wings, they must be insanely strong if he can fly with all of that armor. You can even see a bulge between his feline legs, these griffon males have huge testicles...
He casually walks towards you, looks like this is it, not even if he wouldn't resist you would be able to kill him, you had no chance to begin with.
He is now close enough to slice you to pieces with his rapier.
You snap out of your fear induced rigidity and swing your weapon to his face suddenly, right under his helmet! That should at least hurt!
With a small movement he chops the head of your axe off mid-swing and in the same fluent movement, accompanied by a fit of laughter, hits the side of YOUR head with the basket of his weapon.
...

When you regain your consciousness you are still in the arena, everything is spinning and you have trouble moving anything at all.
Looks like you were out for only a few moments though, because the champion is still slaughtering your comrades...
It takes only a few minutes for him to murder the rest of the unorganized slaves.
Then he comes back towards you.
You turn from him and attempt to crawl away, but his talon grabs your ankle and holds you in place.
You expect a sharp pain followed by a slow and agonizing death, but for the longest time nothing happens. When you look back you see the gladiator cheering to the crowd.
The entire arena is littered with dead bodies; mutilated, hacked to death, broken and twisted limbs, only your nightmares rival this scene. You just pray for a quick death.
You are so absorbed that you don't even care for what the crowd sings “...hape! hape! hape! Hape!...”
Hape? That doesn't make any sense?!
You look up and listen “...Rape! Rape! Rape! Rape!...”
Your eyes widen and you look to the gladiator who is still holding you. The griffon opens some straps one-handed and wiggles out of the scale layer of his dark armor.
Your eyes dart around, looking for a way to escape this ridiculous situation.
Some kind of ball-boys are dragging the dead out of the arena grounds, others fetch the numerous weapons that are strewn everywhere. The gates are open, which means...no, those are dead-ends too.
Shit, there has to be a way out of this!
The champ removes his sallet helmet.
No...
“Blackclaw!” your voice is barely loud enough for the pirate/gladiator to hear you.
She grins at you, a hand automatically goes to your mouth as you remember what she's done to you.
A cold shiver runs down your spine.

Blackclaw gets out of her chainmail and your eyes are drawn to her crotch, you can see two heavy balls dangling where they are supposed to, was she a male all along?
You take a closer look, these are definitely testicles, no doubts there. Maybe she is-
A talon rubs them, a single nut must be as big as your fist.
Then Blackclaw catches you staring “Enjoying the view, boy?”
Boy? Haven't you heard that before?
You manage to turn your confusion into words “I-I thought you were a girl?”
A wide satisfied grin forms on her face “I am.” she says.
“B-But, what-”
The griffon has shed her last layer of armor and pulls you beneath her, her head blocks out the sun so you can only see her obscured.
“Listen boy.” she says gentle “I like you, I've made a damn mountain of bits because of you. If you don't resist I may won't have to kill you, obedient slaves are alwa-”
FUCK THIS SHIT!!! You kick her in the balls!
Blackclaw yelps in shock.
She was too close for your kick to have a lot of force behind it, but you managed to get her off at least.
She makes a quick jump back and carefully rubs her family jewels “You piece of shit!” she growls.
The crowd loves it though...
You stagger to your feet and ready yourself, there is no way you are going down without a fight! Not with what is going to happen!
Blackclaw is done inspecting her nuts, her gaze wanders back to you, this time very angry “Now you've done it...” she growls.
Then she starts circling you.

Now that you know her weak spot, maybe you can beat her! You will kick her in the balls until she is dead!!! Or at least unconscious...
With new found vigor you attack first, without warning you dash towards the griffon and attempt to land your fist straight on her face with all you've got. She tilts her head slightly and your fist lands in the air.
The force of your strike pulls on your arm and turns your body to the side. Blackclaw grabs your upper arm and pulls you down on the ground forcefully. A talon grabs and pushes down on your head and you can't really do anything anymore. Claws dig into the skin on your head and a few thin streams of blood run down your face, the pressure rises, you fear that your skull will yield to this force at any second.
“You think you can kick me in the balls and get away with it?!” Blackclaw lowers her head next to yours and hisses into your ear “I'm going to buy you after this, I'm going to turn you into nothing more than my sex toy.”
The griffon pulls your head up and you support yourself with all fours, you have a perfect view of her package.
Her cock is already hard, bobbing up and down with her heartbeat. Like her general color scheme, her prick is also pitch black. The tip is pointed and the shaft is slightly bent at the base, making her dick point right at you.

Blackclaw forces your mouth open and takes a peek inside “You have the perfect set of teeth you know?” she says as a finger of her feels along the gums where normally your front teeth and canines would be.
Both of her talons grab your head and the inevitable comes closer until it pokes against your lips, smearing her precum all over them before she forces the tip inside. For a moment she stays like that, you try to bite, knowing that it won't do anything “Hey! If you use your backteeth, I will remove them too. And not the gentle way.” she says, at least she doesn't sound angry anymore.
But you don't want that, you like your teeth, you need them for eating...
Suddenly she stands up, only to let herself fall gently on her back while never letting go of your head. She leans on one of her elbows, the other talon is used to lead your head.
Then she slides more of her dick into your mouth until it hits the back of your head, you have to gag instantly.
Blackclaw grins pleased “You better get the hang of it, you're going to do that all the time.” she looses her hold on your head and gives you some space “I think I'll get my old flock back, then my daughter can give some of them these...enhancements...and then I'll let them use you as they please if you fail to be my willing slut.”
Reluctantly you start to massage her glans with your tongue, earning a purr from the champion.
Quickly a dollop of her pre squirts on your tongue, it tastes sweet and salty at the same time. She forces your head to move a little, making you give her a soft blowjob.
Blackclaw starts moaning immediately and more of her pre squirts into your mouth, just a few seconds later your eyes widen as her prick erupts into your mouth. You want to pull away but her iron grip keeps her inside.
Inhuman amounts of cum fill your mouth, Blackclaw has her eyes shut tight and clenches her teeth as this seemingly endless orgasm goes on.
Your cheeks are swollen as she finally pulls out, shooting a final load across your face.
Quick to react the griffon grabs your head and tilts it upwards “Swallow.” she demands, and you gulp down the bitter-sweet and salty mouth full of griffon cum.

If there is a bottom, you have now reached it...
The spectators are going wild, you can hear them laughing, whistling and cheering.
Blackclaw pushes you onto your back and stands above you, holding you in place on your neck and whispering into your ear “We are going to have a lot of fun boy, a lot.”
Then the barker yells “His majesty has decided! That through her heroic and magnificent display of courage and superior skills! The gladiator known as Blackclaw! Will get the privilege to make a demand in addition to the usual victory ceremony!”
Blackclaw points at you and shouts “I DEMAND THIS SLAVE!” with the widest grin you ever saw.

18 - Chrysalis, The Dark Knight Rises I

You are now Gilda.
You are back home in Avia, homeland of the griffons, but not much longer. You heard rumors of a weird, hairless monkey in Haven.
If this appears to be Anonymous, he better have some answers ready, else he gets the beating of his life!
Three years! Three fucking years have passed since he just vanished! The three flocks that settled down near Ponyville dispersed, seeing no need for a community when nothing tries to kill you...
You're not gonna brood over this again, you will find that idiot for now, that's all you need to focus on!

When you finally arrive in Haven, you see that it is still the shit-hole it has ever been. There are probably more muggers on the streets than actual citizens...
Your first target are the taverns, pubs and saloons. These are the best places if you want to get information from the street.

As you fruitlessly canvass one bar after the other, doubts start to plaque your mind.
If Anon is here...he is a weakling, he couldn't manage to survive on his own in this kind of environment.
Then you finally get a hint.
“T-Tucker must know more.” the diamond dog lowlife tells you eagerly after you smashed a bottle on his face “H-He was the barker of the arena when that naked guy fought! I swear! This is all I know!”
You grab him by the collar of his vest and pull his stinking face close “Where?!” you hiss, you hate it when somegriffon wastes your time...
“He lives just down the street, I can lead you there!”
You accept, you want to know what happened...

A few minutes later you are surrounded by robbers inside a building, they threaten to kill you if you don't surrender immediately...you don't have time to fucking play with these scumbags!
Without warning you make a jump towards one of the three dogs, he tries to back away but you are way too fast. A quick jab and he falls to the ground “Chrrhccchrrc!” you crushed his throat, he will slowly suffocate...
You have no time to admire your work, there are still two of them left.
A big one lunges at you, flailing his arms around. These guys fight like babies compared to you...
With a shout you slit open his stomach when his guard is open, it wasn't deep enough though, you only cut flesh.
Then he makes a fatal mistake, instead of countering you, he inspects his wound in shock. You point two of your thick, clawed fingers and gouge his eyes out!
With an agonizing scream he falls to the ground while holding his blood bathed face.
The guy that led you here is left.
He is scared stiff...good, now he will answer you honestly...

You leave the building a few moments later, leaving only mutilated corpses inside. That was actually kind of relieving, you should do this more often...
You go to the river that runs through Haven and wash off the blood, no need to draw unwanted attention.
When you are done you go to Tucker's place, he better has the answers you seek, else he will suffer a similar fate as the three pricks that thought they could rob you!
You unfurl your wings and lift off.
It's already afternoon, you spent all day looking for clues.
Then you spot the house Tucker is supposed to live in, it isn't in the slums so you can't just kick in the door.
You land graciously and knock three times.
Nothing.
You knock harder.
Nothing.
You are about to smash the door to splinters as you can hear a muffled voice inside “Yes! Yes! Wait a sec! I'm showering!”
You will count to ten, if the door isn't open by then YOU will open it!
1.
2.
3. He better hurries if he values his door...
4.
5.
6.
7. Getting impatient slowly...just three more, then you can break this useless piece of wood...
8.
9.
The door opens a bit and a medium sized diamond dog with a towel around his waist looks through the slit, asking “Who are you and what do you want?”

You don't want to play games with this ugly creature.
With a push the dog staggers back alarmed and the chain lock that was supposed to keep the door from opening snaps.
You barge in and waste no time “Are you Tucker? The arena barker?” you ask calm.
He looks mighty pissed “I already paid my debts two months ago! I will-”
“I'M NOT here for debts!” you interrupt him stern “I'm looking for a hairless guy that fought in the arena some time ago.”
He better tells you what you want...
“Yes I remember him!” he says loud “Did you really had to break my door for that?!”
You make a threatening step towards him “Where.” another one “Is.” and a third one “He?” and with a fourth you stand in front of him, scaring the answers out of him.
“Look!” he holds his paws up in an attempt to calm you “It has been almost an entire year since that happened! I only know that he was a slave.”
Fitting.
At least now it starts to make a little sense, why would a dweeb like him fight in a arena on his own will?
“Where is he? If I have to repeat myself one more time you are going to lose something!”
“Okay! Okay! Will you leave after I tell you?!”
“Depends on your answer!”
Tucker looks around in thought, putting a little distance between the two of you “He...that guy was awarded to...uh...I think he was given to the winner of the biannual tournaments, I believe it was a griffon from the southern isles. She had both genders and went by the nickname Blackclaw. Now please leave, that is all I know! Really, I'm just the barker!”
“Where can I find Blackclaw!? Tell me!”
You are getting bored of this fucking Question-Answer game already...
“I don't know that! She had a friend though, he has to know more about her, I can give you his address! But then go, please!”
An hour later you have the approximate location of this Blackclaw griffon.
You already thought about how to beat the shit out of her and take Anon, but one should always first take a look at your opponent before attacking...

Blackclaw left for her home after she won, you got told, she went back to the southern isles, an archipelago near the equator. The sun easily burns unprotected skin down there and it is generally very hot.
You question yourself if Anon is really worth such an effort...but then again you'd really like to see him again...for more than one reason.

You take a ship a day later and are off to the southern isles.
It takes just a week and you can already see the first specks of land, shortly after the ship arrives in port of the capital of the southern isles.
You can feel how much more intense the sun is, you are already sweating when you leave the boat. The city doesn't look like a piece of shit at all like Haven, most of the buildings are made by only a few leafs and wood from the palm trees that grow everywhere. You also can't understand how a griffon can sleep comfortable in a house that sits on the ground. Ridiculous.
Most of the inhabitants ARE griffons, their beaks and talons are pitch black from the sun and they are usually a little smaller than the griffons that live to the north.
But there are exceptions of course, like Lyndwin, that fucking bitch...
You walk around the streets, Anonymous must be here somewhere...
Some of the avians here wear necklaces made of flowers, such kink isn't your style, do they even try to be intimidating?
Blackclaw's friend told you where she lives, a small reclusive island on the fringe to the western end of the archipelago.

Two days later you find the appointed island, you circle around it until you find a lone building on the beach.
That must be it!
You land near it, but you see nogriffon...
As you sneak closer to the house you hear some slurping sounds and a moaning griffon from inside.
A pleasured groan and the noises stop. After a few moments you take a careful peek inside.
You can't believe what your eyes are telling you, there is Lyndwin's mother! And Anon!
That bitch is a killing machine! You stand no chance against her!
Quickly you hide in some bushes, they are talking but you can't hear about what. It sounds like Anon is in distress though...
It goes on for a bit, eventually Lyndwin's mother, Alfa was her name as you recall, leaves.
Only when she is out of sight for ten minutes you get out of your hiding spot.
You sneak carefully and silent into the house, expecting an ambush or guards.
The house consists of only one room, as you enter you see Anon. He is naked and tanned by the sun. He has his back turned to you and is making a fire in a fireplace in the middle of the room. Nothing binds him, is he here on his own free will?
Then you take a look around, there is a huge bed, and, like mother like daughter, the shelves are packed with 50% books and 50% sex-toys.

“Anon?” you ask him to announce yourself.
He turns his head and glances at you, then keeps doing what he did before, ignoring your presence completely.
No one ignores you! “Hey!” you shout at him “Look at me!”
Anonymous winces at your yell, but ignores you otherwise.
You walk next to him and take a look at his face, his eyes are wide and he looks scared as shit.
“What is wrong with you!? I came to get you out of this? Do you even want to?!” you ask annoyed.
He shakes his head “I've been through this countless times, go away! You are not real!” he proclaims hastily.
Oh for fucks sake, what the shit?
“What are you talking about? Are you telling me I am not real?”
He nods “Yes, you are just a delusion. Go away. I'm not listening to you anymore!”
“So. Is THIS not REAL?!” you slap his face with the back of your talon.
Anon falls on his ass and holds his cheek dumbfound, you wait, after a while his stare focuses on you “G...Gilda?” he asks unbelieving “Help me, please!” the jumps up and hugs you “Alfa will be back soon! We need to hurry! Please!”
A piece of cake!

An hour later you have boarded a ship back to Haven, always fearing that you may bump into Alfa...she would kill you on the spot...
But you are lucky.

Every time you try to talk to Anon he starts to talk bullshit, at first you try to endure it but at the end of the week, when you arrive in Haven, you can't bear with it anymore.
Its like he is just a bundle that changes from traumatic to stupid to unresponsive and so on.
You have no idea what to do with him when a pony approaches you as you leave the port “Hello there, I see you have a prob-”
This guy is probably the worst imposter you've ever seen, you grab him roughly and push your forehead against his “WHAT do you want, changeling?!” you make sure that he gets that you're in a bad mood.
Not only do you have an insane...dweeb with you, now you also have to fight a running battle with changelings?!
Not today!
“Wait! We can help him!” he points to Anon “Queen Chrysalis even pays money if you leave him to her.”
Finally some good news, you were about to finish this sucker off...now he has your attention.
You release your infamous death-grip from his neck “Tell me more.” you say.
“Eeh, okay. Do you know what happened in Equestria in the last two years?”
“No, I left for Avia about three years ago.”
“Okay, there have been...political problems or something like that, in any case, that person.” he points to Anon again “Seems to be of interest for Queen Chrysalis because of that. You should at least consider this, it wouldn't be his first or second time meeting her and we can help him, as I already said.”
“Tell me imposter, the changelings intel network is the best in the world and I figured out where he was in just one day-”
He stops you “Say no more, we knew where he was. It's just, every time we sent in a team to get him out of there, they were all killed.”
Alfa...
You turn to Anon, praying that he can answer you your next question without flipping out...or just nope-ing you “Anon, have you been with the changelings before?”
His face turns into a smile and he nods.
“Do you trust them?” you ask him.
He answers in a whisper “Yes.” is all he says.

Since there is not really anything you can do, you just accept the changelings offer.
You grab the bits and give Anon to the care of the changelings, it doesn't sit right with you but there simply is nothing else you can think of.
You grab the changeling one last time and scare the shit out of him “If you do something bad to him, I'm coming for you!”
That said you leave them to their own devices.
Somehow you have the urge to check up on Rainbow Dash now. Time to visit Equestria again...

You are Anonymous again.
You are in a warm dark room, a changeling you recognize as Culex watches you lazily from the side of the bed you are lying in “Can you say something that is NOT gibberish now?” she asks bored.
“What? Where am I? What happened to Blackclaw? Is she still here?!” You look around in panic.
Culex's eyes widen and she has the biggest smile possible “Wait here, I'll be right back!” she says, then hurries out of the room.
You stand up and take in the scenery.
The dark room you are in looks ominous, a thief or an evil wizard would feel at home here. A big bookshelf stands on a wall, oh god, how long has it been since you last saw a book...too long.
You go to the window and take a peek outside, it's like there is nothing. You see only blackness, not even stars or the moon shine, there is simply nothing.
Wait. No, that's not right, there are these blue glowy mushrooms you remember...where the hell are you?!
You can't remember what happened in the past few years clearly...only fragmented parts make sense...Ruby...Kiln...Bl-...Alfa...

Culex comes back after a short while “Come Anon, she wants to see you right away.” she gestures you to follow.
“No.” you spurt out “What the hell is happening? Where am I? What is-”
The changeling interrupts you “Chrysalis will give you all the answers you want, now please come along, she is waiting for you.”
Reluctantly you follow, is this just another torture? A trick? Another way to humiliate you? Are you now a slave to the changelings? Wasn't Chrysalis your friend? You want to see her! She must help you. She WILL help you! You just know it!
Something feels not right though...somehow...the pain...is missing. Why isn't anything hurting? You got used to that finally...the mines were always painful...
Chrysalis better knows what's going on, you are fed up with being toyed with!

You stand in a big, long room. The walls are plastered with huge windows, green stained glass shows depictions of heroism.
Changeling heroism.
Like an old unicorn with a beard and a robe with stars on it, that gets killed by changelings.
Another one shows ten dragon corpses lying in front of a triumphant changeling that seems to be Chrysalis herself. Is she that strong?
You don't pay attention to these artworks anymore, because at the end of the room...Pinkie sits there on a dark throne!
Impossible!
Before you know it you already run to her “Pinkie!” you shout.
You stop right in front of her “What are you doing here? The changelings-”
You stop as you realize where you are.
This room is an exact copy of Celestia's throne room, only in changeling colors.
Only one changeling sits on the throne... “Chrysalis?”
Pinkie smirks, then she is engulfed in green flame and turns into the changeling queen, never moving in the slightest.
You can feel your heart jump with joy, your queen! She is here!
“Ah! Welcome to my home my dear Anon.” she says welcoming.
Chrysalis stands up, she walks around you, mustering you from tip to toe from all sides.
“You don't look so good, now do you? What happened to your teeth? Why don't you tell me what you still know later? It's quite some time since we met last properly...”
You answer her quietly, afraid she might get angry “Well, being a slave isn't a holiday...”
Your queen stops in front of you, suddenly she yanks her forehooves up. In reflex you hold your arms in front of your head, expecting another beating. Instead she gently lays them on your shoulders.
Embarrassed of your wrong reaction you lower your arms and avoid eye contact, Chrysalis just raises a brow at that.
“I'm sorry, it's...”
“It's okay, I'll take care. Of everything.”
Your eyes are drawn to hers, almost completely on their own. Your Queen's eyes start to glow in a bright green, immediately a warm feeling of safety takes hold of you. Something you haven't felt for so long...you are safe here...with her...she rescued you...how could you not LOVE her?

Changeling meals are very different, from anything you've ever tasted, but not in an unpleasant way. It's just something new and unknown, it even has funny colors, but what the hell, what do you expect from creatures whose eyes glow on their own?!
As you have your first real meal in an eternity, with your Queen, several young changelings join. These are not the usual swarmlings, these ones have actual irises and hair like Chrysalis herself. You spot Culex amongst them.
It looks like a huge family.
“I'd like to introduce you to my daughters Anon.” Chrysalis starts suddenly, then she points to each one and says “Livida, Vespula, Diptera, Fritillary, Agraulis, Anopheles, Isoptera, Glauca, Aedes, you already met Culex, Aphid...” Chrysalis introduces you to more than two dozens of them.
They are all female from what you can tell, and all of them seem to be much more happy and eager to meet you than one would expect. Sure you are in love with their mother, but still...
They whisper to each other while looking at you, then start giggling, it makes you feel stupid.

Chrysalis takes you with her, she shows you the palace and your quarters, it's not a cell or a dungeon.
It's an actual room!
With a soft bed!
And carpet!
And a bookshelf!
And a shower!
It looks damn comfy, even royal!
You sit on your new bed and Chrysalis stands before you, a gentle grin decorates her beautiful face like always.
Say something to her! Damn it! Do it!
“Chrysalis!” you start, the changeling queen sits down. Only her eyes are moving.
You pull all your willpower together to get the next sentences straight “I...I know you messed with my mind somehow.” her grin lessens slowly and she starts narrowing her eyes “I know you put something inside me that makes me trust and you and become loyal to you.” by now she has a stern look on her face.
It's really uncomfortable seeing her like that, but you have to pull this through “I just wanted to tell you, without your influence, and from the bottom of my heart...I wanted to thank you.” the serious expression she had just a second ago vanishes “Thank you for getting me out of this hell, just, thank you so much.” you can't restrain yourself and hug her tight.
You have to fight with your tears as she answers you in a fit of giggles “If you are already grateful for that, you will love me for what comes next...hm. hm. hm.”
Chrysalis pushes you onto the bed, you release your airtight hug and she leans on her shoulders. Now face to face with her like that, her warm breath tickles you in all the right places as her long and silky hair falls around you.
She licks across your face before continuing “Ah. I plan to get you back to Ponyville. I'm going to write a letter this afternoon to Celestia, in two months you're back home. How do you like that?”
She is a saint.
All you manage to do is to give her a quick peck on the lips.
“All I want is that you open your mind for me once more, I promise to be gentle.” she says playful.

A few minutes later she is already inside your head. Even though it has always been scary, you never regretted it once that she messed with your brain.
Why is everyone always so hostile towards changelings? They're nice creatures. You don't remember Celestia pulling you out of trouble once!
“You are so right.” Chrysalis says in your mind as she hears your thoughts “We are always made responsible for all the bad luck in Equestria.”
She rummages through your memories, taking a look at the interesting ones and then goes on. After some time there is nothing interesting left for her.
Then she goes back to THAT place and gives you another suggestion.

Her name is Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis and you will Love-
“Oh! What is this? You already do? Tehehe” you hear her falling into a fit of laughter, after some time she picks up where she left “Well, it never hurts to make sure of that, now doesn't it?”

Her name is Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis and you will Love her.

After that she is forced out of your mind and collapses on top of you. She didn't really change anything...
You hug and caress her as she tries to catch her breath, this seems to have been much more exhausting for her than any of the other sessions.

When her heavy breathing stops she lifts her head and gives you a kiss, you don't hold back and roll over so you are on top. Before she slits open your tongue again you dive down to her nethers.
You give her entrance a long lick, her hindlegs lock around your neck and you start eating her out. As expected you Queen tastes delicious, exotic and sweet, like tangy honey.
You lick and slurp all juices she expels from her snatch, massage her full cheeks, rub your hands along her thighs and grab her ass-cheeks a little harder.
You could do this all day but Chrysalis has other plans.
With her holey forehooves she leads your head back to hers, you make sure to give her a quick belly rub along the way.
Your dick is already throbbing with excitement.
A deep kiss later you can taste your own blood, though you feel no pain.
You guide your member to her waiting pussy,-
“Not here.” she says suddenly “Carry me, I'll tell you where to.”

A moment later you carry Chrysalis in your arms through the palace, stark naked and with a standing flagpole...
You don't really mind all the guards and princesses watching, you love this changeling more than anything else, and if she wants you to carry her naked around, you more than gladly oblige.
She directs you to what you assume are her private quarters.
A huge room that couldn't be more luxurious, a magical orb stands in a corner and a small lab with steaming vials sits in another. A balcony leads through changeling green curtains out to a pitch black scenery. Her bed, a royal sized canopy bed, stands on a small podium.
“There.” your love points to the bed.
You carry her there, she puts the dark green curtains of the bed aside and you put her gently down.
All the way through the palace your boner didn't go limp, even though you became abnormally tired the longer you carried her here. Probably because you became really weak while being enslaved...

“Ah. Now, where did we stop?” she asks seductive “You were about to give me your...'LOVE' now weren't you?”
Chrysalis rubs over her pussy with a hoof, gesturing you to come closer with the other one. You waste no time and give her what you both want.
You rub your shaft along her pussy, drenching it in her natural lubricants.
Then you place your tip on her entrance and push in.
A long, soft moan escapes Chrysalis's lips as you slowly enter her deeper and deeper until you bottom out.
You take in her sweet smell and run your hands along the edge of her thorax, she coos in your arms.
Then you start to fuck her, slow at first but picking up the pace. Every time you stop you can feel her vagina massaging your dick on its own, you could probably cum without moving at all but you want to give her pleasure as well.
After about just two minutes she starts to become real wet, her lubricants are smeared all over your groin. You take that as the sign and start hammering her for real, slapping your pelvises together and soon, with a gush of milky white fluids, her pussy erupts in an orgasm.
Her moans are loud enough to fill the entire palace.
Brutal contractions of her muscles squeeze the life out of your member and you can't help but cum. With one last thrust you bury yourself inside her as deep as possible and fill her up to the brim.

You both are out of breath and you slump down on her.
Chrysalis locks her legs behind your back and rolls on her bed with you, never letting your cock slip out of her warm folds.
You hug and cuddle with her as she giggles “Ah. Hm hm, you're such a virile specimen, I can practically feel your little swimmers pollinating my eggs...”
You answer her, still breathing heavy “Sorry...but I don't think I'm compatible with any-”
She cuts you short with a quick kiss “You really think that?” she turns a little and gestures to the bottom of her bed.
You can't see anything through the dark green curtains, for a few seconds you see nothing but then you spot some movement.
Chrysalis continues “Your daughters think otherwise.” with these words a few of the princesses jump onto the bed.
God fucking hell! Did they watch the entire time you fucked their mother?!
Chrysalis hugs you tight enough to almost choke you. The princesses start to suck green fume that emanates from your very body.
The same sleepiness from earlier takes hold of you.
“What is happening...Chrysalis...what...” your tired mind can't finish the sentence.
Chrysalis just giggles and gives you a sloppy kiss “Ah! Don't worry, you are worth too much, we won't kill you. I still need you. You'll just sleep a little more than usual.”
These are the last words you hear before entering the land of dreams.

19 - Chrysalis, The Dark Knight Rises II / Elements Of Disharmony

You wake up in your new room.
You take a shower and go in search of your Queen. No chains, shackles or collars hold you, the guards seem to either way ignore you or angrily hiss as you when you bother them with questions.
You find Culex in the dining room, eating dinner, or breakfast, or whatever time of the day it is.
“Culex?” you ask her.
She just turns around and “Hmm?”'s you puzzled.
You take a portion from the food on the table and sit next to her “So...you're my daughter?” you ask her.
The young changeling princess nods slowly while munching on her food, watching you sharp all the time.
She really is.
You are a dad! Oh man, you are too young to be a father...what does a father say to his daughter?
You need a hat and a pipe! And a plain wallet! Just to look the part, you know...
Oh man, that's right, a father has to spend fatherly time with his daughterly daughter! There are so many things you can do! Together! As father and daughter!
You can go to musicals together, shopping, kids are creative! You can paint together! Or you can bake something in-
“Hey! Stop making funny faces, don't get any ideas. I know you live in Equestria, changelings don't work like that!” Culex interrupts your train of thoughts.
“What? But we can do so many things together! As fath-”
“The male usually gets drained until he dies after mating! I don't know why mother lets you live, she m-”
You suddenly get up “No, you're my daughter! Come, give daddy a hug sweetie.” with arms spread you step towards her.
“NO! Stop this! If the others see this-” you give your daughter a tight bear hug, ignoring Culex's struggling completely.
“Noooo! Let me go! Let me go or I'll-” you start swinging her left and right.
Still can't believe that that cute little changeling is your daughter...
Culex growls for a moment, then bites you in the neck. Her teeth don't do much damage but she is audibly sucking on you. Suddenly you become sleepy as hell, so sleepy you can't hold your daughter anymore.
Gently you put her down and stagger backwards to your chair, you fall on your ass and decide to take a quick nap right here and right now.

From now on all your daughters seem to avoid you, hmm, weird.
You go to Chrysalis chamber, after a knock she bids you inside.
“Chrysalis, can I ask you some questions?” you ask her.
“Of course you can.” she turns to you from whatever she was doing.
“How did I end up here? I still know what happened in the past three years, but I can't remember ANY details...”
“Oh, so Culex did that...” she mumbles to herself “Well, we simply blocked out some things that troubled you the most, it should come back to you over the course of a few years eventually. And to answer your question: I offered money for you, there are many greedy creatures. But actually your old girlfriend Gilda helped you out of your misery, you may want to thank her in the future. Though we lost track of her after she arrived in Equestria some time ago.”
“So...you kind of...bought me?”
“Why yes, bounty hunting is quite spread in the feral lands you know? But I'm sure you know that. Gilda wasn't after the money tough.”
“Still...thank you for what you did, I'm really grateful to you.” you rub the back of your neck embarrassed.
“Ah, think nothing of it, bits aren't that important to a changeling.” she rocks closer “What we value is LOVE.”
Now face to face, you just have to tilt your head a little and give her a kiss.
Chrysalis's eyes widen, she sure didn't expect that!
“I'll make sure to give you plenty.” you say to her.
“I don't think you understand Anon.” she says after snapping out of it “Love is not just some imaginary thing that gives you a warm feeling in your tummy, it's actually something powerful, something a changeling can absorb and use.”
“Absorb? Love? How is THAT possible?”
Your Queen walks on the balcony and you follow her, but there is nothing but darkness.
“Do you see anything?” she asks calm while leaning on the balustrade.
You answer her “No, I see only blackness.”
“Hmm, well. You may not see them, but there are a lot of changelings down there. They work and fly and sometimes use magic, but not often....Living in Ponyville, I am sure you've heard the phrase 'Friendship is Magic' once or twice, now didn't you?”
“Sure, Twilight was always talking about the magic of friendship, I never grasped that concept though.”
“What do you think is stronger than friendship? Much stronger?”
“Love? I guess?”
“That is correct Anon, that is correct. Ponies usually have only wings, horns or none of these, rendering them as pegasus, unicorn or earthpony while we changelings all have wings and horns. It is our biggest strength and yet our biggest weakness.” Chrysalis watches out into the darkness in melancholy.
“You seem pretty strong to me, I see no weaknesses.”
“Anon, you're such a flatterer. I mean, where unicorns only become tired when using magic, a changelings magic will simply become weaker until there is next to no effect at all. In order to be able to use stronger magic we need to feed on the love of other creatures, while for ponies, friendship is enough.”
“I see.”
“When we drain a creature of its love, it becomes tired. You experienced that first hoof yesterday when a few of my daughters visited...we can either stop and let the creature rest until it has recovered, or we can drain all of its love. Do you know what happens to somepony that has no love left?”
“What should happen? It's not like you need love for your survival, right?”
“Ah! You are wrong.” Chrysalis continues dreamily “Without love you will die. Have you ever heard of the broken-heart-syndrome? I guess not, but anyway, because of that ability of ours we changelings are frowned upon. In return we became more and more hostile to all the other races, over the millennia...well, you've seen it. There was once a time where changelings and ponies lived together in harmony, back then we we were not called 'changelings'.”
Chrysalis lets out a long sigh, she plays with a strand of her hair and dreamily looks out into the darkness.
Then you ask “And you want it to become like this again...”
She glances over to you with a smirk on her face “...yes, but it won't happen over night. I used you to force Celestia into negotiations...did you know that your vanishing led to the disbandment of the Elements of Harmony indirectly? You must have been quite important to some of them...”
“Do you know...how long I've been gone?”
Chrysalis turns her view back into the darkness, watching things you can't see “Do you really want to know that?” she asks disinterested.
“Heh, If you ask me like that, I guess not...was it very long?”
Her eyes wander over your body “For a mortal like you...yes.”
Mortal...
You forgot that these queens and pony princesses don't die naturally...if there is a way to obtain that too...?

“How did you get Celestia to listen?” you ask.
“Urgh, she thinks that you are the key to get the elements back together. Personally I think she is just desperate and has simply nothing left in her repertoire so she clutches at the last remaining straw. You.”
“Sounds like a lot of trouble for me.”
“Yes, she will probably turn your live into a living hell before she has to accept that it won't work. I've witnessed many of her elements form and disband again, but this one was doomed from the beginning I say. They didn't even form a band...”
“Do you have other news from Ponyville? From what you say, it feels like a lot happened during my absence...”
Chrysalis pouts “Ah. Sure. I don't think there is a place that is better infiltrated by changelings than Ponyville. Did you know that I tried to make you fall in love with that nurse at the beginning?”
“That was you?!” you had your suspicions...
“Well, not all of the time of course. But anyway, the griffons are gone. Their violent behavior made it impossible for them to stay together. They spread over all of Equestria. It's a political disaster for Celestia, heh, serves her right.”
You think for some time about your past in Ponnyville.
“Hm, I'm not so sure I want to go back to Ponyville. After all it wasn't that nice to live there, the only one I really miss is Pinkie Pie...but it feels like I've almost forgotten her.”
“Love fades over time if not maintained, it's a miracle that you feel anything for her after that long anyway. But you have no choice, I need you to go back. But you don't have to stay in Ponyville I guess...or rather, you can't. You will see what I mean.”

You chat with her a little more about nothing in particular before leaving.
Time flies by with the changelings draining you all the time. Time that is not spent with your Queen or eating is spent sleeping.
Sometimes you have to eat green goo, it tastes horrible but Chrysalis wishes it, so you do her the favor.
Before you know it a month has passed.

You put on your new clothes that Chrysalis ordered for you and go to her. Today is the big day.
Together with your Queen you will go to a city where an escort to Equestria awaits you. Chrysalis will accompany you, or rather, you will accompany her. She is set on having a talk with her old friend Celestia.
Two weeks later you arrive in Haven.

You are now Chrysalis.
The human looks good...considering what he's been through at least.
The vessel that will take you to Equestria is already waiting for you, you hate traveling on the surface, the ways of your empire are much more pleasant and fast. But you have to show them some goodwill...
You considered sending a delegation, but you can't let something THIS important be ruined because of the incompetence of one of your underlings...your people will rise again...it may take a dozen decades or two, and thousands of generations of changelings, but it will happen.
All you have to do is to make Celestia agree to a truce! And eventually peace will follow.
You've had enough of being treated like the scum of the earth, even diamond dogs are more welcome than you...everywhere.

The ship is one of Celestia's, her damn bluesuits are everywhere.
The vessel is at least as big as three casual buildings and the four masts reach even higher. Disgusting white and gold color schemes are all over the ship.
Bwah!
You prefer the colors of your race, but there is no space for personal tastes here.
And these bluesuits gave you a hard time more than once...but you have to swallow your pride, this is for your people, you can't be selfish now!
There comes the captain walking down the planks...Spitfire...damn her.
With your dozen of personal guards and the human you'd have no chance of winning against all these Wonderbolts if they decide to betray you, but the prize is worth the risk.
“Ah! Hello Spitfire, long time no see. How's the wing?” you greet her, a little too mockingly maybe...
“Chrysalis!” she answers sharp “You better keep your word, if you try anything we are prepared!”
“Now now, my dear. No need for threats, this might be the end of our conflict. Why don't you visit me once this is all over, I'm sure we can settle our differences.” you offer her.
Spitfire grimaces “NEVER! You killed too many of my friends! If it were for me, I'd kill you here and now! You can be happy that Celestia is weakened, or else she would have never agreed to this!”
You didn't expect such ferocity, but she is right, you killed more than a few of her comrades...but they tried the same...

After all changelings and Wonderbolts have boarded the ship, the anchor gets hoisted without delay.
The captain is all over the human as soon as you were shown your quarters, you let them, the human is under your influence anyway and only Celestia can undo that.

You are now Anonymous.
Haven got just out of sight and Spitfire asks you annoying questions.
You lean on the railing as she bothers you “Didn't you get my letter with the wanted poster? How did all this happen?” she asks puzzled.
You answer her calm “I was about to visit you in your academy, I wanted to take a nights rest in Vanhoover before continuing there, but got kidnapped by a griffon pirate. Captain Blackclaw.”
Spitfire bites her lower lip with a concerned look as she hears that name “Damn...I've been hunting that criminal for years...” she mutters to herself.
“So.” you say serious “I doubt that I am the only reason for Celestia to start negotiations with Queen Chrysalis, care to enlighten me?”
The bluesuit is looking around, like what she is about to say is a secret “Something is happening Anonymous, something big...the Elements of Harmony are disbanded, Discord vanished, War in the Feral Lands, Celestia is struggling with King Sombra's return and that's only the top of the mountain.”
The fiery pegasus is visibly troubled by something “Equestria stands at the verge of a civil war, things have been a lot rougher there than most of us are used to. It feels like we are about to lose everything we've fought for, peace, freedom, prosperity.”
“What do you mean with 'something big'? These are just some major things that tend to happen, even if they are all happening at the same time it doesn't have to mean anything. I think you ponies are way too superstitious in these regards. Also, the changelings may help, they are not as bad as you think, even if you have your...past...with them.”
Offended is an understatement for what Spitfire looks like right now “I think the CHANGELINGS have messed with your head a little too much!” she says with disgust, then she turns from you and marches off.

With such a fine ship, you reach the shores of Los Pegasus in just one and a half week.
The city looks like a copy of Cloudsdale, just bigger and with buildings underneath. You would love to go sightseeing, but there is no time for that, a train is waiting especially for your Queen, and you have to follow her!
Before you know it you already are in what was once Ponyville. You can't believe you once lived here...the buildings look out of shape, the color that once ruled this village has ebbed away and a less cheerful tint rules over it now. Barely any ponies are seen...
Then the deserted Ponyville shrinks in the distance again, the train goes straight for Canterlot...

You expected trumpets and fanfare, a red carpet and a greeting committee or at least a few screaming residents but the changelings all turned into ponies...boring.
The dozens of Bluesuits escort you and your Queen to the palace. Even Canterlot lost most of its prestige, what happened here?! Everyone looks...sad.
You pass the gates and are lead to the throne room, much like in Chrysalis's throne room stained-glass art covers the walls...there is a depiction of the maine six abandoning their elements...
Chrysalis reverts to her true form as you spy Celestia at the end of the room.
She sits on her throne, sunken deep and whispering to what looks like an adviser. Her face is barren of any kind emotion, with a sharp look she watches her arch-nemesis coming closer.
Your Queen looks rather confident, she watches every single one of the stained-glass windows as she walks through the long room. She grumbles displeased as you walk by a depiction of her defeat at some wedding.
You stop in front of Celestia and she stands up, her mane isn't flowing like it did at the party.
You knew it!
She's just a show-off!
Why does she call herself a princess anyway? Isn't she a monarch over a kingdom? Shouldn't she refer to herself as Queen?
Spitfire and her Bluesuits leave your side and align themselves with Celestia opposite to you. Chrysalis, you and her two changeling guards stand in front of them.
Celestia and Chrysalis stare at each other for an eternity, the alicorn has a grim look while Chrysalis keeps her cool with a smug grin.
Finally Celestia opens her mouth, you can see how every fiber in her body kicks up as she says the next words...“Welcome to Equestria.”

“Ah! Much appreciated. I brought you the human that you believe to be responsible as a sign of my good will.”
It goes you against the grain, but this is your roll in this political mess. If Chrysalis demands it, you happily oblige.
“I take it you indoctrinated him beyond hope? I have no use for one of your puppets Chrysalis.” Celestia looks at you with dismay, how dares she!
Chrysalis answers calm “Now now, if you want this to work you have to show me at least SOME will to oblige old sister, he-”
“DON'T DARE TO CALL ME THAT! You lost this right when you walked down THAT path.” the alicorn nods towards Chrysalis, what the hell are they talking about?!
Chrysalis rolls her eyes “Anyway, I didn't do much, you should have no trouble with him. Only a little courage added here and a few bad memories removed there, you know, being a slave doesn't do wonders for your self-esteem, now doesn't it? But as I recall you didn't invite me here to talk about some humans, am I right?”
Celestia magics you to her side greedily, Chrysalis's eyes follow you until you have solid ground under your feet again, then she continues “I want an embassy like the griffons, here in Canterlot. And a truce between our nations. I want peace. That is all I demand, isn't too much now isn't it?”
After a moment of deep thought and silence Celestia answers “And you shall have it, in return you will help me against King Sombra! He too has unexpected...allies...” Celestia says in defeat.
All the cockiness fades from the Changeling Queens's face, it's the first time you've seen her that serious “So my sources are right, your most faithful student turned her back on you...”

The two monarchs continue their negotiations as you get led out of the room by some of the Bluesuits, one of them is Soarin'.
“What happened, who is King Sombra?” you ask him.
He answers without much emotion “Don't worry, you'll get briefed.”

You get new clothes, white ones this time.
You stay in the barracks for the time being, getting many weird looks from the guards. A few days later you are to meet Celestia. You don't remember what she did, but you've slept an entire week after that, only getting up for eating or getting rid of eaten food...you feel forced thoughts leave.
When you asked, Celestia told you that she got rid of the changelings taint. Even though you don't really feel any changes, you'd still walk through fire for Chrysalis...
After that you get new teeth! Not natural ones though, some kind of dentist unicorn makes you some wallies.
Awesome!
Now you can bite again!
Fuck you soup! FUCK YOU!

You don't get to talk with Celestia properly for another week, during that time you explore Canterlot a bit, ask around, but aside from general problems everyone seems to have nothing new reaches you.
Then Celestia wants to talk with you.
You meet her in the throne room alone. She sits on her throne and has a stern look on her face when she starts “Anonymous, I have a request to make.”
You raise your chin and answer “And what if I refuse?”
“Don't strain my patience human! My nation is being devoured by a madpony!” guess you angered her...
“Is that so? And what could I do about it?! I'm just a human, I have no wings or magic, and also I don't see a reason why I should help you in any way at all! As I recall it was not YOU who freed me from slavery and...” sex-slavery, you don't say it...but yeah, you're not a slave anymore!
Celestia stands up, for a moment her hair flows again “THEN DO IT FOR YOUR FRIENDS!!!” she says in her stupid royal Canterlot voice.
You inhale deep and think hard, you take your time, you probably know what she wants anyway...
“What IS it that you want?” you finally ask her.
She calms down and falls back on her thrown, hair hanging limp like before.
“I need you to bring the Elements of Harmony back together, all except for Twilight Sparkle, she is beyond salvation at this point. It is all my fault...”
Damn right she is!
“I will provide you with what you need, but please bring them back. We know only the location of three of them, Rarity is in Manehattan, building a new life. Applejack now lives in Apple Loosa and Rainbow Dash lives in Cloudsdale again. The others, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are untraceable.”

This is a damn huge request, you knew she wanted something like that from you but hearing it makes it seem so much bigger. How could you accomplish something like this?!
“How am I supposed to pull this off exactly? It's not like I can just meet with them and all their afflictions just magically disappear. Why did the elements disband anyway? Weren't they friends?”
“They were, until you just disappeared! Pinkie Pie found the wanted poster you left carelessly at home and she went looking for you. She just disappeared. After that King Sombra ensnared my most faithful student Twilight Sparkle in secret.” Celestia looks down in defeat.
“Who the hell is Sombra?” you ask her.
“He is a master of dark magic, the only one who can use this cursed power to its full extent. And Twilight is his new student...”
“So he stole your student.” you look around, the throne room is almost empty, only two guards stand at the entrance on the far side of the room “Doesn't that mean that, even IF I manage to get the five back together, the Elements of Harmony are not going to be complete?”
“No, I will assume the missing role, the element of magic.” Celestia says confident “Then we will defeat King Sombra and free Twilight before she is lost to the darkness forever.”
Celestia doesn't look like she can assume any role at this point, she is visibly at the end of her strength, she isn't even sitting straight!”
Then you raise your voice “Celestia...why didn't you included me in the agreement you had with that griffon settlement? The one that kept them from mauling your little ponies? Was that too much? A single creature more?”
Celestia returns stern “Don't talk about things you don't understand human! You are not one of us, you are not even from this world!”
You answer calm “That is right, yet you want me to help you. If I really am to do this for you, you at least owe me an honest answer! Why didn't you offer me protection like everyone else?! You knew how violent griffons are!”
Her royal Canterlot voice kicks in “HOW DARE YOU?! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY JUDGEMENT?!”
You return in royal angry voice “I DARE BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED ALL THE TIME!!! I GOT HUMILIATED! I GOT CRIPPLED! I GOT FUCKED IN THE BUTT! I EVEN TRIED TO KEEP YOUR FUCKING ELEMENTS OUT OF ALL THIS CRAP! AND HERE I AM, WILLING TO DO AS YOU ASK AND YOU WON'T EVEN ANSWER ME ONE. SIMPLE. QUESTION!?!?! WHY?!”
Celestia clenches her eyes, then she leans back and slumps down even more on her throne and answers quietly “Because...I don't expect you to succeed.” her eyes become teary “And I feared you'd become violent, like the others ages ago. The griffons could have handled you then. I only wanted to protect them...”
Great, now you've made a monarch cry...
She must be very upset with her student gone and her elements strewn all over Equestria, her arch-nemesis now her ally, enemies on all sides...
Tears silently roll down her cheeks.
Knowing her reasons were noble, you can't really be that angry with her anymore. You want to calm her down, but she must hate you a damn lot, you'd probably make it worse.
After a while you speak to her “I can't do it on my own.”
The princess wipes a tear “What do you mean?”
“I know you don't expect me to make it, but if you want me to have at least a speck of hope of succeeding then I need help.” you say.
“Take what you want, I don't care anymore. Go to my chamberlain, he will give you full authority.” she says beaten while fighting with a lump in her throat.

You have a good nights rest.
The next day you've made up your mind, with that writing with Celestia's seal on it, you can do pretty much everything, you even have authority over the Wonderbolts!
Rad!
You should act quick though, before Celestia notices what she gave you...
The royal smith is currently adjusting some chainmail for you, you got a guard lance, a backpack full of useful stuff and some candy. Hell, you just have to show them that scrap of paper and they'd probably suck your dick if you'd demand it...
You wonder where Princess Luna is though, wasn't she supposed to rule this land with her sister together? Negotiations with the biggest enemy would at least demand her presence, right?
Every time you ask for her you only get sullen looks or you get ignored with a frown...then one tells you that she got imprisoned by King Sombra!
Why didn't Celestia tell you THAT?!
Whatever, you'll just get ready to get the elements back and then rescue Twilight eventually.
When you've put on the chainmail you go to visit Celestia before you head out.
Oh god, this shit is fucking heavy!
Your shoulder feel like they are about to fall off!
Holy shit, how do they wear that crap all day?

You find Celestia outside in a secluded garden, depressed and daydreaming.
“Princess?” you announce yourself.
She turns to you and almost smiles “Hello Anonymous. You look good.”
Her praise is more flattering than you'd like “Yeah, well. Golda isn't really my color but it'll do.”
Celestia smiles “I am sorry, I did you wrong with the griffons. But our little quarrel yesterday gave me hope, I think you may actually be able to bring them back...”
You lay your hand on her shoulder “I don't really have a choice if I want everything to become normal again, do I?”
“There is one more thing I want to tell you, please listen.” Celestia says “You do not know this, but during your absence Twilight became an alicorn, like me. Do not go north to the Crystal Empire, King Sombra defeated Princess Cadence and Shining Armor with the help of Twilight Sparkle and claimed it for himself again. She is much more powerful than you think.”
“I heard about your sister, maybe I ca-”
“No!” she cuts you off “Don't even think about that! We lost her when we tried to bring Twilight back and free the Crystal Empire again, but together with Twilight...they are too strong. I don't know why they haven't attacked me yet, even with Chrysalis I am no match for them.”
Okay, it's not that easy it seems.

You get some more tips from Celestia and bid her farewell.
Your first stop is Cloudsdale, for it is the next whereabout of an element. You take your stuff and make it to the Canterlot trainstation. On your way you see a new building getting erected.
The dark colors, the architechture, no doubt this is the new changeling embassy...
You just walk past it, politics are not one of your concerns, and board a train to Ponyville, Rainbow Dash should be easily convinced, she was a close friend after all...

20 - Apples and Barfights

You are in Ponyville.
Or rather what's left of it. You stroll around, visiting all the places you remember from your past. The Day Spa is abandoned, a few windows are nailed shut and after breaking the door open you see that there is nothing inside. Aloe and Lotus Blossom must have taken everything with them when they left.
Next stop is Twilight's Library, maybe you find someone there.
But you disregard that thought as the Golden Oaks Library comes into view. The door stands open and you can see from a distance that the library is as empty as it gets. It seems like the only thing that still lives in this village is the library tree itself...
You also don't see a single griffon flying around, neither above Ponyville, nor near the mountain.
They really didn't bullshit you.
Why would they leave? Everyone?!
This is kinda ridiculous...
Then you walk to Sweet Apple Acres. The farm doesn't look abandoned from afar and you walk faster, hoping you can finally meet a soul there.
You find Granny Smith, she sits behind the house and apparently fell asleep in a chair. Is she all alone here?
"Granny?" you shake her gently awake.
The old mare blinks rapidly as she sits up, looking around in confusion "Is it evenin' olready? Ah told yer ah need mah-" then she spots you. It seems kinda stupid since you've been right in front of her the entire time, but whatever.
Granny Smith pats your face like she doesn't believe you're real. Then she narrows her eyes at you "Who a'yer?"
"Granny, it's me, Anonymous. Remember me?"
She looks around in deep thought, after a while she answers "Ney."
Well, lots of people have been more rude towards you...
"Anyway." you start "I've been a good friend of Applejack's, I heard she lives in...uh...Apple Loosa now?"
"Yeh, yeh, she does." Granny Smith answers desinterested.
"Why?"
"Ah dunno. Ah tried t'convince her t'stay 'ere, but sh'left anyway."
Hmpf.
One thing at a time, you want to meet with Rainbow Dash first anyway and talking with this old mare makes you tired...

As you leave Sweet Apple Acres you spot a huge red stallion coming back from the orchards, good to know that she isn't alone here...
Just to be sure, you check out some other places before walking towards Cloudsdale.
As you expected, Fluttershy's cottage is only inhabited by wild animals. The Carousel Boutique is also empty, not to mention Sugarcube Corner, even the hospital is only a ruin...
Then you take off to Cloudsdale. The Pegasus settlement isn't far away from Ponyville, after just ten minutes you are at the fringes of Cloudsdale...or you would if that crap city wouldn't be floating in the sky.
You knew that though, so you bought a pack of balloons while in Canterlot!
A part of you tells you that this is fucking unrealistic, but what the hell do you give a fuck about that?!
You blow up a bunch of balloons and connect them to yourself, in no time you start to lift up. If you need to land you can just pop a few ballons with your spear. Handy shit comes in handy.
Quickly you break through the clouds and pop a small balloon to keep that height...it works! Who would have thought that? Pinkie must be so proud of you...
With swimming movements you navigate through Cloudsdale.
It feels like you've just entered a different world, the melancholic feeling that had a tight grip on you while being in Ponyville is gone. The sun shines bright and warm and everywhere are ponies! They seem all pretty busy, busy but happy, Rainbow colored water fills some ponds and the buildings look fucking rad!
You ask around for Rainbow Dash until you bump into an old aquaintance.
Blonde hair? Check.
Grey coat? Check.
Bubble Cutie Mark? Check.
Crooked eyes that both don't quite look at you but still give you the feeling of being the center of her attention? Check.
Fierce hugging and squeeing? Check.
Check Check Check Check stop that shit, you retard!
You return the loving hug "Ditzy Doo, it's been a long time. You're a sight for sore eyes." you say happily.
Derpy looks at you, never letting you out of her embrace "Anon, where have you been? I missed you!"
"I missed you too, how have you been?" you ask her.
"I'm okay, but what about you? Where were you?"
You grab into your backpack and pull out a little flask, it's one of those cloudwalking things. You chug it and free the balloons, Derpy watches them fly before looking back to you.

An hour later you told her what you could without traumatizing her (which means not much) and over the course of the story you ended up in her home. A bright house made of clouds, real cozy and shit.
Derpy clings to you after that like a love starved loner that found the holy grail, you don't mind some cuddles and make yourself comfortable on the cloudy couch. Ditzy has always been a good friend, you'd really like to spend much more time with her. You also don't think it would be a problem if you relax for a bit, the reuniting with Rainbow is sure to be an exhausting one...
As you lazily take a look around you notice that the cups and plates are all kinda plastic like...
"Derpy, how have you been? Is that curse still plaguing you?” you ask her gently.
She only flattens her ears...this is enough answer for you. Without disturbing the blonde mare on your chest you grab a slip of paper from your backpack and write something down. You have never been the one to make future plans, but you really have to work this out once that crap with Celestia and Sombrero is over.

After some quality cuddling and catching up, your intimate togetherness is interrupted. A little filly enters the house, she announces herself casually “I'm home!” she yells, not seeing the two of you on the couch.
Derpy immediately jumps off of you and hurries to the little one, you raise your head to get a look at the filly.
Derpy is hugging her, she has pale grayish golden hair with light goldish streaks and her coat is a pale violet. On top of that she is a unicorn.
Ditzy breaks the hug and presents you to her “Dinky, this is Anonymous, he is a good friend. Anon, this is Dinky Doo.” Dinky is reluctant at first but you get up quickly to introduce yourself properly to her.
She wears a schoolbag.
Derpy isn't that old, this is probably her sister, they sure do look alike.
“Why don't you stay for lunch Anon?” Derpy asks you suddelny.
“Uh...okay...but I'm not gonna let you do all the work!”

Shortly after you said that, three people started making pancakes.
Derpy and Dinky are pretty close, but you still have to intervene once or twice to keep accidents from happening.
Ditzy excuses herself for a second and leaves you and Dinky alone, the little filly watches her until she is gone, then turns to you “Are you going to be my new daddy?”
You almost spill the batter everywhere.
“Uh...uh...Do you...uh...eat pancakes often?” you manage to stutter.
Dinky grins and, oblivious to the maximum awkwardness, happily tells you what comes to her mind “I like pancakes, we eat them often, but sometimes I want to eat a salad with cucumbers! Then mommy makes me some and we eat it together!”
She tells you her eating habits until Derpy comes back, you suddenly notice that you have a lot more respect for her than before she left...

While eating you ask Derpy where Rainbow Dash is, she is reluctant but after some careful prying she gives you the bad news.
Rainbow Dash left with her friend Gilda some time ago, she wanted to go on a rescue mission in the feral lands for someone but didn't say any details.
Well, shit.
That's kind of a bad timing...
Whatever, she will be back for sure when you visited Applejack and Rarity. And together with Gilda, she should be safe, even there. When you ask her why Ponyville is deserted, Derpy has no answer, she says that is simply became more and more unbearable to live there without any apparent reason.
The rest of the day is spent with Derpy and Dinky, you all enjoy each others company over some games and relaxing together greatly. They invite you to stay until tomorrow, but you don't plan to stay overnight, even though the cloudwalking potion holds 24 hours, so it would be no problem.
You make your farewells to the both of them and tell them to stay tough, then descent back to the ground with some balloons.

Evening is approaching fast and you make your way back to the deserted Ponyville. The bad feeling comes back as soon as you enter Ponyville, like someone flipped a switch!
You make your way to your old home, the windows and the door are all nailed shut and you have to break the door to get in. Nostalgia washes over you and fights back the melancholy for a bit as you stand on the treshold and staring into what was once your home.
Pinkie Pie...there are old leftovers from past parties, confetti, streamers, some cardboard cups but other than that, there is nothing left. No furniture, no-, well, the place is simply empty.
You spread your bedroll and make yourself ready for the night on a nice spot, the stuff you 'bought' is high quality and you quickly fall asleep.

You walk through Ponyville once more.
There are some ponies walking around, some you recognize, some not, even some griffons are there. It's all blurry and the voices sound distant. You have some kind of a baton in your hand, it feels strangely familiar.
You walk towards one of the ponies, she has a white coat and her pink mane is dressed in a bun. As you come closer she recognizes you and horror spreads on her face. Her cutie mark is a red cross with pink hearts in each corner. You feel yourself drawn towards her by some invisible forces.
The time skips forward and you see her lying before you on the ground unmoving, thin red streams run down her head and form a slowly growing puddle beneath her. You retract your baton from her and everyone around you starts screaming and running away.
Then time skips forward again, this time a griffon lies before you. Your entire body hurts. You have her beak in your hand, holding it shut like that. The griffons eyes are dead, the gray light purple tint seems familiar.

Then you wake up.
You inhale deep before saying that one word “Fuck.”
That wasn't a normal nightmare, this is one of those you had at the beginning. Only they were never so lucid back then.
Shit, why now?
The melancholic feeling you get from 'dead' Ponyville seems like a holiday in comparison to how that dream made you feel like...
Shit, you don't have time for that crap.
You quickly gather your things and eat a little of your rations to go.

The only things that are still alive in this settlement are Twilight's tree-library, Sweet Apple Acres and, luckily, the train station! Because that's where you are headed, time to leave this misery inducing place.
You take a quick glance at the map you bought, seems like Apple Loosa is your next target location.

Oh god, what if she isn't there as well?!
Shit, that would be bad...
With these thoughts you board the train, you just have to show that authorization that Celestia's secretaries gave you and you have to pay for nothing in the world!
First class?
Yep.

Apple Loosa isn't that far away, after just half an hour the landscape changes into a prairie and another 30 minutes later the train stops in a settlement that can only be Apple Loosa.
AJ must be somewhere here.
Hopefully.
You step out of the train, the sun shines warm, that is the first thing that you notice.
As you walk through town you see that absolutely every pony wears a hat, soon you can feel why. The sun is already starting to become a little uncomfortable on your scalp, pretty intense shit that comes down from that star...
In order to avoid getting fried you go to what looks like the local bar.
'The Salt Block' stands above the entrance.
You already figured out that these ponies all have somewhat of an salt fetish, but what the hell do you care?
The western-style doors swing open as you walk through the threshold. There are round tables with chairs all over the place, a long bar with a bored bartender who polishes some glasses and at the far side of the big room seems to be some kind of an stage with red curtains, no, not some kind, it IS a stage!
You sit down at the bar, it is the middle of the day so there are only about three other ponies in the entire saloon, sleeping or just hanging around, none of your business.
The bartender takes a step towards you and you ask him “Do you know a pony that goes by the name Applejack? I heard she lives here now?” you ask him cool.
The bartender musters you for a while, he twiddles his full black mustache and repositions his monocle before answering “An' what business d'yer have with the so called Applejack?”
“So she IS here?” the bartender slowly raises an eyebrow until you answer his question “Ahem, I'm an old friend of hers, I just want to talk a little about old times, you know?”
The bartender harumphs “Ye' well, we have an Applejack here, don't know where she is though. Only thing ah can tell yer is that she's gonna be here this evenin', she's on stage.”
No need to hurry then, good. You actually wanted to take your time before meeting her anyway, figuring out what to say and stuffs.

You excuse yourself and tell him that you'll be back later, then you head out on the streets of Apple Loosa.
First stop, hat shop.
You tell the owner to give you a hat that doesn't hurt him to lose and show him that slip of paper, no need to be an asshole about that stuff. He hands you a shabby grayish black cowboy hat that fits just fine, it looks like he got it out of a trash can but it makes you look tough at least. Aw yeah, you're a badass motherfucker!
You walk a little around town, some pesky fella named Braeburn wants to give you a tour, babbling some shit about horse-drawn horse-drawn carriages, you shove him aside and continue to wander around a little. There are even some buffaloes around and, like Ponyville, they have huge Apple orchards, only with a beaten path through the middle of all of it.
After some time you get back to the saloon, the bartender agrees to stash your full backpack behind the counter and so you spend the rest of the day drinking cider and pondering about what to say to AJ, but you end up most of the time just daydreaming, the heat sure makes one tired, body and mind.
In no time the day is drawing to an end and the saloon is filled to the brim, you're sitting at the bar, waiting for a new glass of cider as someone taps your shoulder.
A mean looking stallion with a two-day-old beard glares at you “Y'r sitt'n' 'n ma stool, ya shrimp!”
The bartender is quick to arrive “Jim, don't start your crap, there are enough empty seats.” he says annoyed.
While there, the bartender serves you your glass of cider, you turn from that idiot to take a sip of that rad stuff. Just as the glass touches your lips, that Jim roughly pushes you “Di'n't ye' hear?!”
You spill your drink, not only on you but also on your neighbor who is not happy at all. He gets up from his stool and shouts at you “What the hay? Don't yer have eyes you-”
You stop listening, instead you turn to Jim and look at him for a few seconds. The two of you engage in an angry stare-down. While you do that, the mood in the entire saloon swings quicker than AJ's lasso. Everything is quiet for a moment and seemingly focused at Jim and you.

Then you break the silence and let your fists do the talking, without warning you punch him against his broad jaw. He retaliates immediately and his punch throws you back into the ponies that were standing behind you. Then hell breaks loose, you swear that you heard someone cheerfully shout “BRAWL!” but with all the noise that is now filling the saloon you can barely understand your own voice.
As you get up you see how some pony smashes a chair on Jim's head, he goes down immediately.
No one intervenes in your fights!
You attack the guy who just knocked Jim out, it's everyone against everypony anyway.
No table stays intact and no chair survives, it is chaos! You can hear glass break and duck under a flying bottle of whiskey that was headed your way.
Then someone knocks your teeth out of your mouth! Holy shit! They are flying! Literally! Your false teeth! Shiiiiit!
What if someone stomps on them?!
You go on a rampage! Beating everypony to pulp that stands between you and the approximate location of your wallies. You are sure that you knocked out some REAL teeth on your way there but when you finally arrive you see that the are alive and still intact!
You pocket them and throw yourself back into the fight.

An hour later it's over.
You regret everything, it feels like you were the only one that received.
But that can't be true, cause you are still conscious on the contrary to most of the other people in this saloon.
You sit comfy on a chair that has lost one leg and lean on one half of a table, the other half must be lying somewhere at the other end of the saloon. You wash your false teeth clean with some whiskey and put them back in your mouth where they belong before taking a deep swig of that same bottle.
You sit right in front of the stage as a pony with makeup, styled hair and a huge fluffy feather on top of it pokes her head out from under the big red curtain.
Maybe they still do their show thing? Man, that'd be great! You're curious about what kinda show Applejack would participate in...
The mare pulls her head back behind the curtains after taking a good long look at the scenery that shows before her. It's a battlefield, for real this time.
You can hear her talk behind the curtains “Dag nab it, they did it again girls!” her words are followed by frustrated moans filled with disappointment.
Sounds like there are at least a dozen of them.

Slightly drunk you get up and jump on the stage and fight through the curtains.
When the curtains are left behind you the mares seem to be leaving already, two are sitting at the back of the stage and chat idly, one seems pretty angry about something and the rest is lining up to leave through a narrow door at the side that most probably leads to the backstage area.
“Applejack? Is Applejack here?” you ask them openly, loud enough for all of them to hear you.
One of the mares that were about to leave turns around and stands on her backlegs to take a look at who asked for her “Yeah what d'you w-” she shuts up as she spies you.
A dressed up Applejack scrambles out of the bunch waiting to leave and trots over to you with one brow raised as high as it gets “Anon, is that you?” right as she said those words the curtains get raised automatically by something, revealing the field of slaughter behind you.
AJ tilts her head to the side and takes in the scenery with a skeptical expression “Yer can't stay outta trouble, huh?”
You answer her shrugging “He hit back first...”
The two of you sit down next to each other on the edge of the stage, bottle of whiskey still in your hand until Apples snags it and takes a few swigs of it.
As she drowns whatever sorrows she has you take a good look at her.
Applejack is wearing some kind of a costume, not one you wear to Nightmare-night, but one to get someone all hot and bothered. Black fishnet stockings, skimpy dress, makeup, hair styled up and a big fluffy feather decors her head.
All in all it looks pretty ladylike, three years seem to have done a lot to her...

“Well, ah'm glad yer back from where-ever yer were.” she says finally, putting down the bottle.
You lean back “Yup, I was savoring my holidays, see? I even got a little tan.” you hold a forearm of yours up, but turn your head away from her.
Damn it, why now? You don't want her to...!
“Anon, ah can still tell when yer lying.” she says sympathetically while pushing down your arm gently.
“I have something in my eyes, is all.” you say, followed by a sniff.
Applejack closes what little distance was between the two of you, putting an arm around your shoulder and preventing you from turning away from her even more “Anon, stop keepin' it all t'yerself. Yer've done this three years ago all t'time and see what happened! Yer need t'share what troubles yer, that's what friends are for! Ah implore yer!”
You never wanted to do this, it makes you feel like a burden...
Slowly you turn your head back to her, revealing your face full of tears that came out of nowhere. You are not going to joke about those three years again...
The tan mare grabs around your neck and levers herself on your lap “Now, why don'tcha tell me where yer really were? Ah heard some rumors, but ah wanna hear all about it from yer personally if yer don't mind.”
You hug her tight with both arms but keep quiet, still unsure of wether you should share such a story or not.
She has still that apple-cinnamon smell to her...
“Please Anon, yer seriously need t'get rid o'that bad habit of yers!” she says worried.
What if...she is right?
It all happened because you wanted to get rid of that bounty-thing alone... if you had shared that with one of them...they would at least had known where you had been, and even could have sent help...
“Alright...” you say in defeat “But don't make fun of me.”
You take another slug of alcohol and tell her of the past three years. Applejack listens intent, asking questions about your tormenter's possible motives, how you felt about certain events and how you were able to get out of all of this alive at all.
Most of the drunken brawlers have woken up and left by the time you finish, and it feels like your sorrow did the same for now.
Applejack responds to your story outraged “This is nothin' like what the rumors said! Every normal pony would've gone crazy with only a tenth of what happened t'you!” she turns around and embraces you, making you fall on your back “Ahm really glad yer back in...well...mostly one piece.”
She then gets off of you and trots to the counter, it's already late and the bartender has long given up on tidying up the place again. Applejack doesn't seem to be bothered by it and self-serves herself on some stuff. She comes back with a bunch of snacks.
“Is that legal?” you ask her.
She deposits the stuff next to you and hops back on your lap “Ah know the bartender, it's okay.” she says occupied with opening a bag of potato chips.

“Now that I've told you about what happened to me, I'd like to know how you ended up here in Apple Loosa? And why the hell is Ponyville deserted?!”
“Ah don't really know.” she says while munching away at the chips “It became somehow unbearable t'stay in Ponyville after Twilight left f'that damn dark magic. Evil stuff! Ah still can't believe she betrayed us all, HER of all ponies!”
“How did she betray you?” you ask her.
Applejack becomes angry “Hmpfh! 't all happened a few months after she became an alicorn. Everypony was happy for her but after some time she became more'n more reclusive, always keepin' to herself. The only ones allowed in her tree-library were Lyndwin and her potion hoogus-boogus and Spike.” she makes a scrunchy face “Poor Spike, she dragged him into all this!” she mumbles some curses and destroys the rest of the chips.
“What happened then?”
You grab some of the snacks as she continues “Turns out KING SOMBRA turned them all against Celestia! All three o'them! And Twilight even became his student!...When they left suddenly the once pleasant atmosphere in Ponyville became one of sadness. Ah'd say it's a curse, but every filly knows curses ain't real...”
“That's why you left?”
“Yeah, that too. Ah mean, with Twilight gone the Elements of Harmony are useless anyway. Then Pinkie just vanished one day and more'n more ponies left Ponyville. We just kinda came to the conclusion that it were best if we all went our own ways-”
You interrupt her “Oh yeah! About that! Do you know where Pinkie and Fluttershy are? I told you I need to get you all back together!”
Applejack thinks for a moment “Aaaah think she might be in Hollow Shades. Or near it. She had some property there, Celestia only knows how she got that...”
“So, how DID you end up here?” you ask her.

And she tells you all about it, nothing big, just some relatives and stuff like that. You eventually grab your things and AJ leads you to where she now lives, it's an apple farm of course.
You spend the night in a barn and await the next day, curious about how Applejack decides on that 'get-the-elements-back-together' matter.

You are in Ponyville again.
And you are not the only human, there is another one. It is not just any human though, it is an exact copy of you...a clone perhaps? He wears the same clothes as you, golden chainmail with a white shirt underneath and white pants. In his hands he has two pieces of one snapped spear.
As you come closer you see that he has no face, it creeps you the fuck out!
You turn around and run away, but he is always close behind you when you look back. Then you run to the market, there are ponies everywhere, they will help you!
That's what you hoped at least, they start to run away as soon as they see your copy with the blank face. You muster up all your courage and stop, turn around in an attempt to confront that guy but he doesn't seem to be interested in you anymore. Now he gives chase to some of the ponies!
What have you done?!
He catches a grey pegasus with sandy blonde hair and promptly stabs her with the pointy end of the broken spear. She screams in agony as he brings down the spear-head again and again.
You run towards them, you need to stop this! Kill that lunatic if necessary! But stop him!!!
You arrive and look around dumbfound, he is gone. It's all hazy and you are perplexed as to what just happened.
Where is he?!
As you try try spy him you notice the broken upper half of your spear in your hand, it's red with blood. You drop it speechless and look down your body, seeing that you are sprinkled with blood. And before your feet lies the reason for it. A grey pegamare with sandy blonde hair, there are two large bubbles surrounded by five smaller ones on her flank. You see her chest heaving up and- no, now it stopped...
The puddle of red grows and touches your feet.
It's hard to think and all the ponies stopped running away, they just stare at you.
Wait, this is wrong!
You didn't do this!
It was the other guy! That...!

“Hey! Wake up!” Applejack wakes you, thank god!
You shake your head and try to get rid of those thoughts that still linger after that dream.
Sadly Applejack isn't wearing that nice outfit anymore...but she has her trademark stetson on, that's nice too.
You groggily get up and freshen yourself up on a bucket of water.
As AJ leads you to the house for some breakfast she says “Yer know, Ah thought about it, but it's a big decision. It's three years in the past and ah already made mah peace with it.”
“No problem, take as much time as you need. I know it's a lot, me suddenly appearing and asking such a huge thing of you.”
Applejack looks around in thought “...how 'bout yer stay for a few weeks? Ah'm sure yer gonna like it here.”
“One week.” you say bland “Tops!”
You know exactly what she is trying! She knows how sweet life is here! You won't settle down! Not until this shit is over!
“Okay, okay. One week, then ah tell yer if or how ah decided. Ah can't make yer any promises though, sorry.”

You are actually relieved to get a week of staying here...
You spend the day with AJ mostly, helping her with her apple-bucking and planting new trees. You have a very pleasant encounter with Applebloom, she was more than happy to see you again. Time flies by and before you know it, it's already evening.
Over the course of the day you catched up with Applejack mostly and you consider her now a good friend again. You have your supper in solitude on a cliff near the farm that gives an excellent view over the apple orchards.
It's astounding that they could make any vegetation grow in this desert at all, let alone an entire forest of neatly arranged apple trees!
These earth-ponies sure know their handiwork.
As you eat, Applejack joins you, she sits down on her haunches next to you and eats her food. None of you says a word, you just enjoy the food and the nice view. The setting sun soon has the entire sky drenched in an yellow-orange-and-red.
The tan mare leans her head on your shoulder.
A feeling of calmness fills you, it's so peaceful here, and it was only your first day...
Settling down doesn't seem so far away anymore suddenly. It's rather a real good idea...you consider this when you are done helping Celestia!

The two of you finish your food and stay like this for some time, the sunset seems eternal.
Then Applejack starts “Yer know Anon, ah really like yer. Ah've been kinda lonely since comin' here.”
“Aren't there enough stallions here? I always thought Ponyville was the place that was unbalanced regarding genders?” you answer her.
You wonder if she has some kind of secret basement in the orchards here...
“Nah, most o'them are idiots. Ah'm not into clowns. Really not.”
“Like your cousin Braeburn?” you suppress your laughter, that guy is really an idiot.
Applejack chuckles “Yeah, kinda like that. But sometimes he gives good advice.”
“Yeah? Like what?” you ask curious.
The tan mare gets up and kisses you on the cheek “Kiss somepony if yer like'im.”
This is kind of embarrassing, but Applejack turns around and just walks back to the farm. She hypnotizes you as you stare at her ass, perfectly proportioned, firm globules of totally squeezable softness!
You have to fight in order to stop staring. There is no doubt she knows what's going on, her tail swishes from side to side enticingly, always hiding enough to reignite the urge to see more...
This could become a very long week...
