Happy Fun Times in Equestria

I sigh as I look over Rainbow Dash, sitting upright in my bed as she watches me.

"Here," I mutter, picking up her panties so I can give them to her. She nods, and I sigh as I finish getting dressed.

"Is something the matter? You're sighing a lot..."

"This was a mistake," I announce, biting my lip in bitter regret. "And I'm sorry that I took your virginity - your first time should be happy and full of love."

Rainbow Dash sighs, as well. "Peter, this wasn't a mistake. I do love you, and I'm so sorry that I hurt you...please, give me a second chance..."

I don't respond to her pleas. Rather, I keep talking as if she never spoke. "I'm leaving. I'll live in the Everfree, I don't know - I can't live here anymore..."

"Please, don't do this to me," Rainbow whispers.

"Don't do this to you!?" I demand, spinning on my heel to stare at her. "You did this to me! Because of you and your big mouth, I'll be thought of as a murderer, Rainbow Dash! I won't live a life like that - I can't live a life like that! Not again..." I sigh as I pull on my sneakers. "I'm leaving Ponyville, and that's that."

"You can't. It won't let you."

I stop, and stand up straight at the shift in her tone. It's changed from begging and hurt to cold and calculating.

I turn, and see that Rainbow Dash is sitting on the bed with the posture of a sphinx. "Excuses me?" I demand.

"This town isn't done with you yet," she informs me. "You have work to do, Peter."

I frown at Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow, what are you...if this is some sort of excuse to get me to stay, then -"

"Wake up, Peter. You have work to do."

"Wake up, Peter. Peter, wake up!" My eyes flicker beneath my eyelids at the noise. "Peter, please! We're being attacked!"

A sudden surge of adrenaline causes my eyes to shoot open, and I suck in a deep breath as I see that Rainbow Dash is desperately trying to wake me up. A siren blares its song in the distance. "What?" I ask as I sit up, and immediately start pulling on my clothes.

I don't know why, but this feels...familiar...

"Peter, a gang of Diamond Dogs are attacking - you've got to get out of here! I'll stay back with the others to defend the town, you've got to go!"

I pause as I pull my last article of clothing on. Rainbow Dash starts urging me towards the door, and I look at her with a frown. "I can't," I inform her.

"Why not!?"

"I've got to help," I respond. "I'm going to help you defend Ponyville."

"Why?"

I frown at the question. Something made me choose to fight, but...I don't know what.

"I don't know," I admit. "I just should."

She rolls her eyes in irritation. "Fine, just come with me. And you've got to keep quiet, I wanna get the jump on them."

I nod, and as soon as we exit the house, she darts off towards the center of town. I take my time, searching for injured ponies, or for Diamond Dogs, all the while grateful that the siren is muffling my footsteps.

Of course, it's also muffling the sounds of these Diamond Dogs. Which I have no idea what they look like...

However, as I slowly round the corner, I find out.

I see a pony, her tail tucked between her legs as she backs away from a group of unkempt, bipedal mongrels. She finds herself pressed against a wall, and I immediately sprint over as stealthily as possible.

"Now, just give us your money, and we won't hurt you," one of the Diamond Dogs promises in a soft voice. "Come on - all we want is some bits. Nothing more."

The pony whimpers as she curls against the wall, and I hold my breath as I creep up behind a Diamond Dog. Once I'm within range, I use the base of my palm to hit the animal at the base of the skull with as much strength as I can muster. It lets out a yelp of pain as it slumps over, unconscious.

The two other Diamond Dogs notice me then, and I take on a fighting stance as they immediately attempt to assault me. Fortunately, they're lumbering beasts, and I'm able to avoid their ridiculously telegraphed blows.

By avoid, I mean just jump to the right, spin around, and kick one of the Diamond Dogs in the back of the head. It falls to the ground, unconscious, and I collapse to the ground, having fucked up my landing.

By the time I scramble to my feet, I feel the Diamond Dog's claws raking through the skin of my back. I let out a cry of pain as I collapse to the ground once more, hot tears rolling forth as I feel hotter blood leaking down my back.

"Fuck," I whimper. I force myself to stand, but the Diamond Dog hit me in the back, hard. I let out another scream of pain as I'm sent to the ground, sniffling from the pain of having newly made wounds torn open wider by a furry fist.

"Looks like your luck ran out," the Diamond Dog growls into my ear as it crouches down above me. I feel it sit on my back, and I let out a cry of pain at the sensation of coarse fur being inserted into the slits in my skin. "Now, I'm gonna kill ya. But first...I'm gonna fuck ya!"

My eyes burst wide open, and a bit of fight comes back into me as I wait for the beast to stand. As soon as it does, I brace myself on my palms, quickly curl in my body so I'm out from underneath the Diamond Dog, and then spring back, catching the animal right in the chest.

I hear it wheeze, and feel its ribs break, before it collides with the hard ground.

Unfortunately, the collision isn't enough to stop my path, and I end up coming off the ground a bit, just to slam back into it, gritting my teeth as the gashes in my skin are bent like gills, forcing more blood out and sending more pain into my brain.

As I drift off into a painful unconsciousness, I hear a pony gasp, and then there's silence.

The sirens have been turned off.

"Help!!" The pony screams.

That's the last thing I hear before everything goes black.
