  20. >As reality Yanks you back, a blurry form of an orange horse seems to be talking to you
  21. >"What is a little colt like you doing here alone at night?"

  23. >It's a guy, talking to a child, alone, at night
  24. >Shit
  25. >you are not getting raped in your first day here
  26. "I'm waiting for my father"

  29. "He's in the shower right now"
  30. >He scowls "I see, and where is your mother then?"

  32. "With my father"
  33. >He scowls even further and lets some air out of his nostrils
  34. >you swear you saw steam go out of them
  35. >He looked down, RUN!
  36. >"How can they be so irresponsible to leave a colt alone at night?! just imagine what could happen to you!"
  37. >you didn't get far as you feel yourself getting levitated in his direction
  38. >"You are coming with me, sleeping in my home"
  39. >Oh fuck
  40.  
  41. Green:
  42.  
  43. >You kick and fidget in midair
  44. >The lack of solid ground beneath you is disorienting, and your already racing heart doubles its pace
  45. "H-Hey! Hey! You can't just-don't do this, man! I-"
  46. >"My left hoof I can't! What sort of monster just leaves a colt out to freeze?!"
  47. >The orange horse walks faster, his hoofsteps heavy with frustration
  48. >Monster, huh?
  49. >You're one to talk, you sick FUCK!
  50. "Look, you don't have to do this! S-somebody will be looking for me!"
  51. >"And they'll have a few earfuls from me when they do, believe you me!" The orange horse gives a rueful shake of his head
  52. >Your heart is like a crack-addled jackhammer, your pulse so loud in your ears that you can't hear yourself screaming
  53. "Come on, I-PLEASE DON'T DO IT, PLEASE, GOD, OH GOD!"
  54. >The orange horse stops in his tracks
  55. >Turning his head back towards you, his face is painted with the deepest pity you've seen in your entire life
  56. >The sight stuns you in place, only able to stare back at him
  57. >The horse sighs as the glow of his horn - what the fuck, a horn?! - brightens
  58. >"Sweet dreams, little one."
  59. >That's the last thing you hear before everything fades to black
  60.  
  61. >It's dark...
  62. >There's warmth all around you...
  63. >And a sound...like singing...
  64. >You sit up with a yawn, rubbing the sleep from your eyes
  65. >Opening them proper, you take in your surroundings
  66. >A bedroom, looks like
  67. >The walls are all hidden behind shelves upon shelves of books
  68. >There's a desk in the corner with a few books of its own
  69. >You look down and-
  70. "Goddammit."
  71. >Still a green little horse
  72. >You lift the starry blanket you're wrapped in
  73. >And your dick's still there
  74. >You're two for two
  75. >And your butthole appears unmolested
  76. >For now
  77. >Your head shoots up from under the blanket at the sound of the bedroom door opening
  78. >The orange stallion from last night steps in, his ears perking up at the sight of you
  79. >His hair looks even messier than it did last night
  80. >"Oh, you're awake! Thank goodness, I was worried I might've made the spell too strong." He trots over to the bedside, beaming ear to ear
  81. >"Sleep well?"
  82. >You stare at him for a moment
  83. >If he was gonna do stuff to you, he'd have done it last night, right?
  84. >Unless he's the sort of creep that likes playing with his food
  85. >Either way, probably best not to try anything quite yet
  86. "Um, yeah, I guess."
  87. >"Good, I'd hoped so."
  88. >The orange horse brings his face towards you, making you tense up and lean away to avoid him
  89. >He flinches back seemingly hurt by your reaction
  90. >He sighs again and mutters something you don't manage to hear before he puts on the same smile from before but it's a little softer now
  91. >"I'm sure you must be hungry. I have breakfast waiting for you in the dining room whenever you're ready."
  92. >With that, the orange horse takes his leave, casting a final glance back towards you before shutting the door behind himself
  93. >Alone again now.
  94.  
  95. >No point in delaying the inevitable
  96. >You hop off the bed and head out the door
  97. >You feel your ears shoot straight up when the most delicious scent invades your nostrils
  98. >You're not sure exactly what it is, but you know food when you smell it
  99. >With following your nose and a bit of wary wandering down the unfamiliar hallway, you eventually find yourself in what must be the dining room
  100. >The sight is something straight out of a housewife magazine
  101. >Kitschy little kitchen themed decorations on the walls
  102. >Round table draped in a red checkerboard tablecloth
  103. >Licking your chops, you immediately clamber up onto the nearest chair
  104. >And a piping hot smorgasbord of foodstuffs piled in front of you
  105. >Platters of scrambled eggs, english muffins, breakfast sausages! >There's even pancakes!
  106. >Wait a minute, those pancakes look off
  107. >Are those made of...grass?
  108. >"Would you like a plate?"
  109. >Your head whips to the side to see that orange stallion seated in one of the other chairs, smiling patiently
  110. >How didn't you see him before?
  111. >Your eyes dart between him and the food
  112. >You are pretty hungry
  113. >But should you really be accepting meals from a stranger?
  114. >A kidnapper, no less?
  115. >Just then, your stomach grumbles loudly, seemingly fed up with your indecisiveness
  116. >The stallion giggles at the sound and you can't help but blush, your ears folding back against your head
  117. >"Here," he slides a ready plate of food in front of you, a pair of utensils floating in from somewhere behind you
  118. >"Eat up."
  119. >Your gaze moves from the stallion, to the utensils, and stops on your hooves
  120. >You shrug and dig your face into the food, chomping up mouthfuls like some sort of animal
  121. >You're basically an animal now anyways
  122. >Right?
  123. >You can barely make out the sound of a disapproving groan
  124. >It does nothing to stop your feasting
  125. >You had no idea how hungry you truly were as you're on your second serving before you know it
  126. >The world is dead to you as you indulge your gluttony
  127.  
  128. >It's about halfway through your fourth plate that you're forced to sit back in your chair
  129. "Guh..."
  130. >You rub your stomach, letting out another groan from the sheer amount of food weighing you down
  131. >"Someone was hungry." The stallion chuckles
  132. >You look over at him and give a suspicious glare
  133. >"Full?"
  134. >You stare at him for a moment
  135. "Fer now..."
  136. >His smile widens a hair at your answer
  137. >"Good."
  138. >"Now," The stallion places his hooves on the table and leans in cautiously, "How would you feel if we...played a game?"
  139. >Your eyes narrow further
  140. >This son of a bitch
  141. >He fattens you up till you can't move
  142. >Then he springs his sick little trap
  143. >You know what? Let's just get it over with
  144. "What sorta game?" You ask monotonously
  145. >"Oh, just a simple little game. The way it works is that we take turns asking each other questions. How does that sound?"
  146. "...Okay."
  147. >"Great! Now, I'll go first."
  148. >The stallion taps his chin and hums, making a real show of thinking up a question
  149. >"What is...your favorite color?"
  150. "...Green."
  151. >He steals a glance at your fur
  152. >"Right, of course. Now, your turn."
  153. >A mug of what smells like coffee levitates to his lips as you turn his words over in your mind
  154. >Your turn?
  155. >What should you ask?
  156. "...Are you gonna rape me?"
  157.  
  158. >The stallion sputters and chokes, his mug crashing to the floor
  159. >He coughs and gasps, steadying himself with both hooves on the table
  160. >When he finally manages to catch his breath, the stallion stares at you, horrified
  161. >"Wh-what?!"
  162. "What?"
  163. >He shakily picks up his glasses from where they'd fallen on the table, wiping the coffee splatter off the lenses with his cape
  164. >"Wh-where did you even learn that word?!" The stallion stutters
  165. "Um...SVU?"
  166. >"I-." He returns his glasses to their rightful place, "-I don't even..." His words trail off as he rubs his temple with a hoof
  167. >The stallion takes a deep breath, then gives you a firm yet pleading look
  168. >"Sweetheart, I need you to listen carefully to what I have to say. And I need you to believe it."
  169. >Sweetheart?
  170. >That's a little fruity
  171. >"I'm not going to hurt you. Okay?"
  172. >His tone is gentle and low but most notably, it's sincere
  173. >Sincere enough to give you pause
  174. >This orange horse has taken you into his home, given you his bed, and now fed you to bursting
  175. >Every other horse you met in this place barely even gave you the time of day
  176. >Maybe...
  177. "...okay."
  178. >Your voice is quiet and unsure
  179. >The stallion stares at you a moment longer before nodding
  180. >"Good." His lips spread from a terse line into a gentle smile.
  181. >"Thank you."
  182. >You nod in kind
  183. >The two of you fall into a brief silence until you speak up once more
  184. "It's my turn to ask a question, right?"
  185. >An amused huff escapes the stallion
  186. >"Yes, yes it is."
  187. "What's your name?"
  188. > The stallion's eyes widen before he lets out a chuckle
  189. >"Oh, goodness me! I can't believe I never even introduced myself. My name is Sunburst."
  190. >Sunburst
  191. >Looked more like a Scott to you
  192. >"Now I suppose it's my turn."
  193. >"What's your name?"
  194.  
  195. "My name?"
  196. >Your brow furrows
  197. >...Jerry?
  198. >George?
  199. >What the fuck is your name?
  200. >Why can't you remember?
  201. >The concern on Sunburst's face deepened as he watched you struggle to recall
  202. >"Do you...have a name?" Sunburst asks carefully
  203. "Of course I have a name!" You snap back
  204. >The words come out more angrily than you'd meant and you wince at your own harsh tone
  205. "I just don't...wanna give it to you?"
  206. >You cross your arms - er, legs, and nod
  207. "Yup, that's it."
  208. >Sunburst's eyes narrow slightly and he studies your face
  209. >You feel your heartrate pick up and try to suppress a nervous gulp
  210. >A beat passes and he lets out a quiet sigh
  211. >"Alright, I understand." Sunburst runs a hoof through his messy mane
  212. >"In that case, what should I call you? I mean, you can't just be anonymous."
  213. "Why not?"
  214. >Sunburst's eyebrows raise incredulously
  215. >"Why not?" He parrots
  216. >Sunburst thinks for a moment
  217. >He shrugs
  218. >"Fine. You're Anonymous."
  219. >Eh, there's worse things to be called
  220. >You give yourself a mental pat on the back for successfully saving face
  221. >Still can't remember your real name though
  222. >"I think it's your turn again, Anonymous."
  223. >That's gonna take a while to get used to
  224. >While you're pondering your next question, a rag and a broom float over to Sunburst's side and you can't help but stare as they clean up the mug he'd dropped earlier
  225. >You can notice an odd shimmer surrounding the cleaning supplies, barely brighter than the morning sunlight filling the kitchen
  226. >A glance back at Sunburst and you can see the same shimmer coating his horn
  227. "How are you doing that?" You ask, jutting a hoof at the levitating objects
  228.  
  229. >"Doing what?"
  230. "That! Making stuff float! You made the broom float, you made the mug float. Last night, y-you made ME float!"
  231. >Sunburst tilts his head with a confused smile
  232. >"Well, magic."
  233. "Magic?"
  234. >You may have been turned into a little horse and transported into a society of other little horses, but magic seems a little far-fetched
  235. >"Of course! How else?"
  236. "But, magic's not real."
  237. >Sunburst is quiet for a bit
  238. >He chuckles
  239. >Quickly, it grows into a full-blown laugh
  240. >"Okay, I see now." He says as he calms down
  241. >"Very funny, Anonymous."
  242. >Now it's your turn to be confused
  243. "What is?"
  244. >"Your joke."
  245. >Alright, he might not be a molester but he's definitely a jackass
  246. >Sunburst's expression flees from contentment and to the concerned look you've grown used to seeing on him by now
  247. >"You were making a joke, right? A silly prank?"
  248. >You don't respond, instead looking back at him with equal concern and wariness
  249. >His lips move silently and he stands from his seat, heading down the hall with a quiet "Come with me, Sweetheart."
  250. >Firmly deciding you're not a fan of the whole "Sweetheart" thing, you hop off your chair and follow
  251. >Sunburst leads you to one of the doors lining the hallway and pushes it open
  252. >Your eyes widen as behind the door is revealed a spacious and immaculately clean restroom
  253. >Baby blue tile lines the floor and bottom half of the walls, the upper half painted a soft white
  254. >The rear third of the room is taken up by the largest shower you'd ever seen in your life, big enough to fit at least four full-sized rainbow horses
  255. >The right wall has a set of drawers topped with heaps of what looks like all variety of hair products
  256. >Makes sense, considering all the fur
  257. >The left wall is home to a turquoise counter containing a sink atop it and cabinets below
  258. >Above the sink is a mirror that runs the entire length of the counter then goes a few feet past, turning into a full-height mirror until it runs into a little privacy wall
  259. >You can only assume the toilet's behind there
  260. >The aesthetic whiplash between the warm, rustic house's interior and that of the bathroom is jarring but not uncomfortable
  261. >More invigorating, really
  262. >Your gawking is cut short by Sunburst speaking up once again
  263. >"Go on, Sweetheart."
  264. >You look back at him and he gives you an encouraging gesture with a hoof
  265. >You take a tentative step onto the tile
  266. >Then another
  267. >Soon enough, you're standing in the middle of the room
  268. "What now?"
  269. >"Just go ahead and look in the mirror, Sweetie."
  270. >You shrug and look at the floor-length mirror to your left
  271. >The sight nearly makes your heart stop
  272. >Standing there is a small, green horse, with caramel-colored eyes, and a mop of unruly black hair on his head
  273. >On your head
  274. >You lift a hoof and the mirror...well, mirrors
  275. >It does the same when you put it back down
  276. >You're...a horse
  277. >You knew that already, you just...
  278. >It's a little harder to deny it now
  279. >You rub your face, watching how the furred flesh of your cheek moves beneath your hoof
  280. >Your eyes move a little higher now and you're forced to pause again
  281. >There's a cone protruding from the middle of your forehead
  282. >Your hoof reaches up to tap it and you instantly recoil from your touch
  283. >Sensitive little thing
  284. >But the little clack from your hoof making contact tells you it's as hard as the tile you're standing on
  285. >You're...
  286. "A unicorn..."
  287.  
  288. >A huff from the doorway calls your attention away from your reflection
  289. >Sunburst is softly shaking his head with a hoof over his mouth
  290. >He lowers it just enough for you to hear him speak
  291. >"Anonymous, sweetie, did you know you were a unicorn before today?"
  292. >You shake your head
  293. >Sunburst draws a sharp inhale as he covers his mouth again
  294. >His stare bores into you
  295. >The concern that had been underlining his demeanor all morning has given way to a passionate sadness now
  296. >His eyes glistening with growing moisture, Sunburst lowers his hoof to speak again
  297. >As soon as he opens his mouth, his ear swivels towards the sound of knocking from another part of the house
  298. >He looks between you and the source of the knocking before putting on a warm smile
  299. >"Sweetheart, do you know how to take a shower by yourself?"
  300. >Jesus, how old are you in horse years for him to ask you that?
  301. >You nod, earning a relieved sigh from Sunburst
  302. >"Perfect. Go ahead and wash up, towels are in the dresser." He nods towards the specified furniture
  303. >Sunburst shuts the door and you hear his hoofsteps move down the hallway until they're gone
  304. >Now you're alone in this massive bathroom
  305. >You look over at the shower and shrug
  306. >Should be simple enough
  307.  
  308. -=-=-=-
  309.  
  310. >The bathroom door swings open, a wall of steam pouring out into the hall with you stumbling out close behind
  311. >You're still wet in some spots, even after going through three towels
  312. >You're pretty sure you used the wrong soaps in the wrong places
  313. >And you still don't know what that extra knob did
  314. >But you're clean
  315. >Your ears perk up and swivel around when you catch the sound of conversation from down the hall
  316. >Couldn't do that before
  317. >Neat
  318. >You head towards the voices, soon able to make them out as you near the kitchen
  319. >"-don't know what to do, I-I'm still just reeling from...well, from everything." Sunburst says
  320. >"Yeah, that's pretty intense. Does anybody else know?" A feminine voice asks
  321. >You round the corner to see a morose Sunburst seated at the now clean kitchen table, and beside him is a light purple unicorn with streaked purple hair who's got a hoof on Sunburst's back
  322. >"No, you're the first-Oh!" Sunburst stops himself when he sees you standing at the kitchen entrance, the lady horse noticing you soon after
  323. >He quickly replaces his gloomy air with a bright smile
  324. >"How was your shower, Sweetheart?" Sunburst asks
  325. "Uh, fine, I guess." You answer, your eyes glued on Sunburst's guest
  326. >The stranger returns your wary look
  327. >She glances at Sunburst, who gives her a nod before she looks back at you and forces a friendly smile
  328. >"Hey there, Anomalous-"
  329. >"Anonymous." Sunburst corrects
  330. >"-Anonymous. I'm Starlight Glimmer."
  331.  
  332. "Um. Hi."
  333. >So the guy kidnaps you and then he brings his little girlfriend over?
  334. >Maybe he is a creep after all
  335. >"...How are you?"
  336. >Starlight's voice is stilted and uncomfortable
  337. "I'm alright..." You answer as you narrow your eyes at Starlight
  338. >Something about this chick is...off
  339. >And it's not the whole talking horse thing, neither
  340. >Her hoof is a little low on his back
  341. >She's leaning pretty close to him
  342. >And she keeps glancing at where Sunburst is sitting when he's not looking
  343. >Oh my god
  344. >She wants to fuck him
  345. >Looking at Sunburst, he seems none the wiser, his attention focused solely on you
  346. >He must know, right?
  347. >"So...I'm sure your parents are probably expecting you back soon, right?"
  348. >Damn, the bitch is already trying to get rid of you
  349. >Sunburst gasps and stares in horror at Starlight
  350. >"Starlight, what is wrong with you!?" Sunburst scolds, quickly hopping off the chair and stomping to your side, positioning himself between you and Starlight
  351. >Starlight stammers, holding her hooves up in defense
  352. >"Wh-what? What'd I do?!"
  353. >Sunburst huffs in disbelief, shaking his head at her
  354. >"Starlight, didn't you say you were here helping Twilight with something?"
  355. >"Oh, come on!" Starlight throws her hooves up, "I just got here!"
  356. >"Starlight." Sunburst says sternly.
  357. >"It's been lovely seeing you, but I think you should leave now."
  358. >"I-!" Starlight's incredulous glare darts between you and Sunburst
  359. >Starlight scoffs, shaking her head as she leaves her chair and drags her hooves in what you assume is the direction of the front door, grumbling quietly and shaking her head the whole way until you hear a door slam shut
  360. >"Mares..." Sunburst mutters once she's gone
  361. >He turns to you with the look of a concerned mother on his face
  362. >"I'm so, so sorry about her. Are you alright, Sweetie?"
  363. >That's really getting on your nerves now
  364. >Maybe he is a fruit, seeing as he just kicked a dickhound out of his house for some guy he doesn't know
  365. >Kid he doesn't know?
  366. >Only your body's a kid, right?
  367. >Ah shit, he's still waiting for an answer
  368. "Yeah, yeah. I'm good. She's, uh, she's nice."
  369. >Sunburst gives you a relieved smile, "She tries."
  370. >He looks at you pensively for a moment before nodding
  371. >"Anonymous, I've made a decision." Sunburst announces, his smile wider than the grand canyon
  372. >Fuck, he is gonna rape you after all
  373. >"I'm going to adopt you."
  374.  
  375. >You gawk at Sunburst, dumbfounded
  376. "You're gonna what?"
  377. >"Adopt you!" His beams
  378. >You think you might've preferred being diddled
  379. "You can't adopt me."
  380. >"And why's that?"
  381. "Because."
  382. >Sunburst doesn't respond, instead staring at you expectantly
  383. >Your eyes wander around the kitchen as you try to think of a reason
  384. "Because, my, uh...My parents!"
  385. >You point triumphantly at Sunburst, certain you've stumped him
  386. >"Your parents?"
  387. "Yep."
  388. >You cross your arm-
  389. >Fuck, you mean legs
  390. >You cross your legs smugly
  391. >The humor falls from Sunburst's face leaving behind a slight frown and a dubious expression
  392. >"The ones who left you out in the cold because they were too busy showering together?"
  393. "Ye-um. W-well, yeah, but that's not-"
  394. >"The same parents who kept you from knowing what tribe you were from?"
  395. "Tribe? What are you even-"
  396. >"The same parents," Sunburst interrupts again, venom seeping into his tone.
  397. >"Who have made you so terrified of other ponies that you won't let them touch you or even know your name?!"
  398. >Sunburst stomps a hoof on the floor, his nostrils flare as his breathing is heavy with rage
  399. >A fiery wrath burns within his eyes, yet you can sense it's not directed at you
  400. >This utter departure from Sunburst's usual self shocks you into silence
  401. >Sunburst must've taken notice of your reaction because his eyes widen and he takes a step back
  402. >"I-I'm sorry, Anonymous." Sunburst coughs in embarrassment then runs a hoof through his messy mane
  403. >"I just..." Sunburst sighs
  404. >He moves in close and you lean away in response, just as before
  405. >Instead of trying to put his face on you, you realize he's only getting to your eye level
  406. >You match his deep stare as he starts speaking again, his voice soft and low
  407. >"Anonymous, sweetie. I know you don't really know me, and I don't really know you. But what I do know is that whatever your life was like before, was wrong. You got used to things that no foal should ever have to experience in the first place. I can't undo whatever happened to you in the past, but I can make sure they never happen again."
  408. "I-I don't-"
  409. >"I'm only asking that you give me a chance. Stay with me for three days. Let me show you that life doesn't have to be that way, that things can be better. If you still want to go back to your parents after three days, then..."
  410. >Sunburst's breath hitches and he continues, "Then I won't stop you."
  411. >Your gaze falls, unable to look Sunburst in the eyes after hearing his plea
  412. "What, um..." You clear the welling emotion from your throat, "I-if after three days, I..."
  413. >"Then I will give you the best life any foal could ask for. Because you deserve it, Anonymous."
  414.  
  415. >You stare at the ground as those last words echo within your mind
  416. >Because you deserve it
  417. >You've never had somebody say something like that to you...
  418. >Your vision is getting blurry and your breathing hitches
  419. >Goddammit
  420. >You're a grown-ass man, you shouldn't be getting this worked up over what some dumb talking horse has to say
  421. "...okay."
  422. >The word crawls out of your mouth before you have a chance to stop it
  423. >"Thank you, Anonymous. I won't let you down, I swear it."
  424. >You grit your teeth in an attempt to bite back your feelings and do your best to be discreet as you wipe your eyes and nose with the fur of your shoulder
  425. >Looking back to the spot you'd been glaring at earlier, you see a tiny pool of liquid that stirs up shame and ire within
  426. >For God's sake, get a grip, man.
  427. >"Well then!" Sunburst claps his hooves together and looks out a nearby window, "We better get our rears in gear!"
  428. >He passes you, moving in the direction of the front door
  429. "W-wait, where are we going?"
  430. >Sunburst looks back towards you, a manic twinkle in his eye
  431. >"Shopping!"
  432.  
  433. -=-=-=-
  434.  
  435. >"But this one would go better with your quilt..." Sunburst mutters
  436. >You let out another bored sigh from your place next to Sunburst, lying on the floor on your side
  437. >You should've known that this wasn't going to be a quick trip when he took nearly an hour to get ready this morning
  438. >For the past four or some hours, the two of you have been hitting nearly every shop in the city, picking out furniture and knickknacks for "your new room"
  439. >You'd tried to tell him it was excessive for what could be only a few days, but he didn't really wanna hear it
  440. >"What do you think, Anon?"
  441. >You lift your head and look over at the two identical crystal lamps floating in front of Sunburst
  442. "The left one." You answer immediately, resting your head back on the floor
  443. >"Really?" Sunburst's muzzle scrunches and he shrugs. "I-I suppose it's your room, so..."
  444. >The other lamp reluctantly lowers back onto the shelf and Sunburst heads off to the store's front desk with the first lamp in tow
  445. >Grumbling to yourself, you drag yourself up to all four feet
  446. >All four hooves, you mean
  447. >Trudging your way after Sunburst, you absentmindedly browse the shelves of product as you pass them
  448. >Blue lamps, pink lamps, brown lam-
  449. "Wah!"
  450. >You yelp as you're thrown to the ground, your hooves slipping too much on the hardwood flooring to break your fall
  451. >"Sorry..."
  452. >You growl and whip your head around to glare at whatever just apologized for knocking you over
  453. >Standing there is a little white unicorn, roughly your size, with pale lavender hair and a guilty look on her face
  454. "The hell's your problem, brat?!" You snap at her as you stand up again, dusting yourself off
  455. >Her remorseful expression quickly shifts to irritated
  456. >"Hey, I said I was sorry!" She squeaked.
  457. >"Maybe you shoulda watched where you were going, ya dumb colt!"
  458.  
  459. "Watch where I'm going?" You balk
  460. "Why don't you watch where you're going, y-you-"
  461. >"Y-y-y-y-y-y-you what?" The white unicorn mocks
  462. >"Y-y-y-you gonna cry? Huh?!"
  463. >The gall of this bitch
  464. "Listen here, you marshmallow ass." You start, poking a hoof into her chest as you speak
  465. >As soon as you open your mouth to speak again, the wind's knocked out of you and you're lying on the ground once more
  466. >"Don't TOUCH me. I don't want any of your nasty colt cooties."
  467. >You heave in a breath as you look back at the unicorn to see her glaring down at you with a single hoof extended
  468. >Good Lord, how the hell is she so strong!
  469. >You groan in pain as you bring yourself back onto your feet, feeling like you've taken a brick to the ribs
  470. >You're stood up just in time to see a larger white unicorn with a styled purple mane approaching from behind the smaller horse
  471. >"Sweetie Belle~!" The larger unicorn calls out in a saccharine voice
  472. >The small unicorn's pupils shrink to pinpricks at the sound and she spins around to face the other
  473. >"R-Rarity!" She squeaks
  474. >"Sweetie Belle!"
  475. >Jeez, what the hell are these names?
  476. >"I've just caught word of a sale going on a few blocks down and I-oh, hello there."
  477. >The large unicorn, Rarity, interrupts herself when she notices you
  478. >Rarity glances between you and the smaller unicorn - Sweetie Belle, you guess - and a cheeky smirk pops onto her face
  479. >"Oh, my sincerest apologies, Sweetie Belle." Rarity says with mocking earnestness
  480. >"If I had known you were busied with wooing a handsome young gentleman, I wouldn't have interrupted."
  481. >"Huh?!"
  482. >"I-I'm not- He's-!"
  483. >"No no, please, Sweetie Belle. Carry on. Just pretend I'm not here."
  484. >Rarity's smirk widens as Sweetie Belle grows increasingly more embarrassed and frustrated
  485. >Sweetie Belle's eyes dart around frantically, eventually landing on you
  486. >Time slows for a split second when your eyes meet
  487. >A blur of white is all you can process before-
  488. >*CRACK*
  489.  
  490. >You slowly open your eyes
  491. >You're on the floor again
  492. >Great
  493. >You look upwards, catching an eyeful of Sunburst screaming at Rarity
  494. >You can't hear anything over the sound of ringing in your ears
  495. >Rarity looks like she's apologizing profusely
  496. >Sweetie Belle's cowering next to her with tears pouring down her face
  497. >When you try to lift your head, you're stopped by a shooting pain in your jaw
  498. >Bringing your hoof to your cheek, it's sore and swelling
  499. >You take your hoof away and look at it
  500. >You're bleeding
  501. >It takes quite a bit of effort on your part, but you eventually manage to stand up once again
  502. >As you're struggling to your hooves, the ringing fades enough for you to hear again
  503. >"-pay whatever it costs! I swear-"
  504. >"Oh, now you're gonna try to shut us up with money!? A fan-TASTIC! example for your daughter!"
  505. >"She's not-"
  506. >"Shut up!"
  507. "Fumburft?"
  508. >Your words come out quiet and muffled from the swelling in your jaw and the blood in your mouth
  509. >"-can't even take a single step outside without some animal of a mare-"
  510. "Fumburft, I-" You cough weakly
  511. >You spit out some excess blood onto the wood floor and notice a shiny chunk of white amidst the crimson
  512. >Checking your mouth with your tongue, you realize what it is
  513. >Your tooth
  514. "Fuck..."
  515. >You look around and notice that a small crowd of horses has circled the four of you
  516. >They're staring
  517. >You have to leave
  518. >"-should get you thrown in the castle dungeon! Why, I-" Sunburst halts his tirade when he feels you tap his side
  519. >The fury on his features instantly melts away into painful sorrow at the sight of you
  520. "I wanna go..." You mumble through your injury
  521. >"Anonymous, I..." Sunburst takes in the situation they're in and it seems like he only now realizes the scene they're making
  522. >Sunburst huffs and shoots a glare at Rarity
  523. >"This is NOT over, Ms. Belle!" Sunburst growls, earning a meek nod from Rarity
  524. >"Again, I am so, so, so, so sorry, Sunburst."
  525. >Sunburst doesn't respond, instead turning his nose up and gently ushering you out the store
  526. >You can't help but notice he's still being careful not to touch you
  527. >As the two of you head out the door, you take a final look back to see a few of the female bystanders closing in on a panicking Rarity
  528. >The door blocks your view as it shuts behind you
  529. >Away from the prying eyes of the storegoers, Sunburst takes a closer look at the side of your face
  530. >"Sweet Celestia. Anonymous, you need a doctor."
  531.  
  532. -=-=-=-
  533.  
  534. >"The doctor will be with you soon." The nurse says before leaving the examination room
  535. >Sunburst sighs and turns to you
  536. >"How are you feeling, Sweetheart?"
  537. >You shrug
  538. >Sunburst groans and looks at the door again
  539. >"Don't worry, Sweetie. Dr. Stones is the best in the empire. Or so I'm told."
  540. >You'd tell him to quit the gay little nickname shit, but talking hurts too much
  541. >The adrenaline from earlier has worn off now, letting you experience the full glory of your humiliation
  542. >You've had your ass kicked by a little girl
  543. >And you're a tiny green horse
  544. >Is this what rock bottom feels like?
  545. >A knock on the door immediately followed by a turquoise crystal horse in a labcoat stepping through
  546. >The doctor gives a professional smile
  547. >"Good afternoon, Mr...."
  548. >The doctor glances at her clipboard and her brow raises
  549. >"Mr. Flare?"
  550. >Sunburst clears his throat
  551. >"Just Sunburst is fine." Sunburst says, avoiding eye contact with the doctor
  552. >You notice the doctor give Sunburst a once over with her eyes
  553. >"Right." The doctor turns to you and she gives you a disarming smile
  554. >"Hey there, I'm Dr. Stones. Can you tell me how you got hurt, sweetie?"
  555. >Ugh, not you too
  556. >You open your mouth to answer but Sunburst beats you to it
  557. >"A filly attacked him."
  558. >"A filly? Already got the girls going crazy over ya, huh kid?"
  559. >Sunburst frowns and Stones chuckles
  560. >"Just a joke, Mr. Flare." Stones assures as she sets her clipboard on a nearby counter
  561. >Stones steps closer and sits right in front of you
  562. >"Alrighty," Dr. Stones starts as she fishes something light blue from her coat's pocket, "Why don't you open wide? Gimme a good look at what we're working with here."
  563. >You oblige with a pained groan that makes Sunburst hold a hoof over his hear
  564. >You think that's where his heart is
  565. >It's still in the same place, right?
  566. >You watch as Dr. Stones takes the blue object and shoves her free hoof into it
  567. >Huh
  568. >Hoofglove
  569. >Stones' gloved hoof gently pushes the edge of your mouth to give herself a better view and then she uses her teeth to grab a penlight from her breast pocket
  570. >You're left in mild awe when you see her use her lips to expertly switch on the light and flip it around to illuminate the inside of your gaping maw
  571. >As Dr. Stones is humming and hawing in thought at the sight, Sunburst leans over to catch a glimpse for himself
  572. >He immediately regrets it, gagging and turning away
  573. >That's a good sign
  574. >"Mmhm!" Dr. Stones exclaims and steps away from you, moving to the wastebin in the corner of the room
  575. >"How bad is it, Doctor? He won't need surgery, will he?"
  576. >"Oh, no no, nothing that bad." The doctor answers as she disposes of the glove she'd been wearing
  577. >Sunburst breaths a sigh of relief as Stones turns back towards you two with a smile
  578. >"Well, firstly, bleeding's seems to've stopped. Inside of his mouth's a bit mangled, but that'll heal with time. As for the tooth, it's a pretty clean break. A crown should do."
  579.  
  580. >"Erm, a crown?" Sunburst shoots Stones a confused look
  581. >"Is that another one of your jokes, Doctor?"
  582. >Stones shakes her head, "No jokes, Mr. Flare."
  583. >Sunburst looks quizzically between you and the doctor
  584. >"A crown seems a little...barbaric. Don't you think?"
  585. >The hell is Sunburst on about?
  586. >Now it was Dr. Stones' turn to be confused
  587. >"It's the standard treatment for a broken tooth, Mr. Flare."
  588. >"I thought standard treatment was a restoration spell."
  589. >Spell?
  590. >Again with the magic shit?
  591. >Dr. Stones tilts her head
  592. >"Restoration spell?"
  593. >Sunburst opens his mouth to speak again but stops himself short and shakes his head
  594. >"Nevermind, you're the doctor. You know best."
  595. >Dr. Stones gives a nod and mutters something under her breath before speaking up again
  596. >"I'm gonna prescribe your son some painkillers and some antibiotic ointment for that gash on his cheek. See the receptionist upfront to schedule the crown, and you folks have a good day."
  597. >Son?
  598. >You try to speak up to correct her but Dr. Stones is out the door sooner than you can manage to
  599. >How can she think you're this guy's son?
  600. >You're not even the same color
  601. >...Was that racist?
  602. >"A crown." Sunburst scoffs
  603. >Looking to him, you see he's glaring at the door
  604. "Whaf's wrong wid a crown?"
  605. >Sunburst turns his attention to you, shaking his head softly
  606. >"A dental crown isn't like the crowns that princesses wear, Anonymous. It's a metal cap made to look like a tooth that goes over your real tooth!"
  607. "Uh-huh." You nod
  608. >Sunburst stares at you dumbfounded for a moment
  609. >"That...that doesn't bother you?"
  610. "Thaf's jusf how if's done." You shrug
  611. >Sunburst shakes his head
  612. >"Sweetheart, it's an utterly outdated procedure. I mean, it hasn't been used in almost 1000..."
  613. >Sunburst's words trail off and an expression of realization grows on his face
  614. >"Oh my goodness." He chuckles, bringing a hoof to his forehead in astonishment
  615. "What?"
  616. >Sunburst shakes his head and waves a hoof dismissively
  617. >"Nothing to worry about, Anonymous. Come on, let's get going." Sunburst says as he heads to the door, standing next to it expectantly as it swings open
  618. >What a fucking weirdo this guy is
  619. >You exit the examination room, Sunburst trailing close behind
  620. >You hope the receptionist gives you a lollipop
  621.  
  622. -=-=-=-
  623.  
  624.  
  625. "Tho, uh, whath's next, Thumburth?"
  626. >Sunburst snickers at your attempt to speak around the oversized lollipop in your mouth but you're not bothered by it
  627. >Nothing bothers you
  628. >You've got a big ass lolly
  629. >Sunburst taps his chin in thought, glancing around the busy street
  630. >"Well, the whole fiasco with Rarity put a bit of a raincloud on our plans..."
  631. >Sunburst shakes his head and grumbles
  632. >"That mare. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. I mean, the absolute audacity for her to-"
  633. >As Sunburst segues into a rant about Rarity, you take the opportunity to take a look around while the two of you walk
  634. >The street is filled with crystal horses going about their day
  635. >Heading in and out of shops, greeting one another as they pass
  636. >You don't see any crystal horses your size
  637. >Where are they?
  638. >School?
  639. >Should you be in school?
  640. >God, you fucking hope not
  641. >"Anonymous?"
  642. >You're brought out of your musing to see Sunburst looking at you expectantly
  643. >"What do you think?"
  644. >Think about what?
  645. "Um...sure?"
  646. >Sunburst smiles widely at your answer
  647. >Hey, what's the worst that could happen?
  648.  
  649. -=-=-=-=-
  650.  
  651. >"Here we are!"
  652. "...Huh."
  653. >You're at a loss for words as you study the building before you
  654. >Pink and pale yellow stripes, it reminds you of a cheap circus tent
  655. >But in the place of aged canvas, is freshly placed brick and mortar
  656. >Above the entrance, a sign reads "HAYBURGER" in pink block lettering with a yellow horseshoe behind it
  657. >You look at Sunburst again
  658. >He's grinning widely, anticipating your reaction
  659. "Is this...fast food?"
  660. >Sunburst's smile deflates but doesn't leave completely
  661. >"You know what that is?"
  662. >You nod, and the rest of his smile goes
  663. >"Oh." Sunburst plops down on his butt and idly scratches his cheek with a hoof
  664. >"I figured this would be a bit more momentous for you." Sunburst states disappointed
  665. >Shit, now you feel bad
  666. "A-actually, I've only really heard about it!"
  667. >Sunburst's ears perk up
  668. >"Oh?"
  669. "Yeah! Never, um, never eaten it."
  670. >Seems like he bought your lie because he instantly regains his prior excitement and claps his hooves together
  671. >"Perfect! Just you wait, Anonymous. I used to eat here all the time back when I was in-" Sunburst cringes before he can finish his thought and clears his throat.
  672. >"Eh, nevermind. Come on!" Sunburst heads for the entrance
  673. >You shrug and follow
  674.  
  675. >Stepping inside, it looks about how you expected
  676. >Tables make up most of the furniture, and a mix of chairs and booths fill the rest of the space
  677. >A decent number of horses are in the restaurant, eating and talking amongst themselves
  678. >One side of the restaurant is home to the front counter with the menu hanging above it
  679. >Everything is some shade of light pink or pale yellow, bringing that same sort of misplaced circus feeling everywhere you look
  680. >You follow close to Sunburst as he walks up to the front counter
  681. >Manning the register - or is it horsing the register? - is a lanky lime-green crystal horse with braces
  682. >She's a bit shorter than Sunburst, but definitely taller than you
  683. >"Welcome to Hayburger, home of the hayburger. May I take your order, Sir?" The lanky girl asks in a bored monotone
  684. >She looks kinda cute in that uniform
  685. >...Why did you just think that?
  686. >You don't wanna fuck horses, do you?
  687. >"That'll be thirteen bits."
  688. >You're brought out of your internal conflict just in time to see Starburst levitate a bunch of gold coins out of a little clamshell purse and float them to the cashier
  689. >Did he order for you?
  690. >Rude
  691. >She taps a few buttons on the register, earning a chime from the machine
  692. >"Here's your table marker, we'll bring your order out when it's ready, Sir."
  693. >Sunburst thanks her and the two of you take a seat at an empty booth near the middle of the establishment
  694. >"So! Anonymous," Sunburst starts, "Whaddya think?"
  695. "It's..."
  696. >Exactly like every other fast food place
  697. "...cozy."
  698. >"Isn't it?" Sunburst beams and admires the surrounding interior
  699. >"I just love how they make every location look the same. Really gives you a sense of familiarity when you walk in." Sunburst nods at his assessment, continuing to take it all in
  700. >Sunburst's eyes then widen in recognition, his ears perking up
  701. >He thrusts hoof in the air, waving ecstatically
  702. >Following his eyeline, you see what he's focused on
  703. >A table in the far corner of the restaurant bearing a massive pile of empty burger wrappers
  704. >But you don't see anybo-
  705. >A head pops out from behind the pile, along with a hoof that waves back at him
  706. >It's a purple unicorn
  707.  
  708. >The purple unicorn steps out from behind the trash pile and into full view
  709. >Your eyes widen as you watch her spread out her wings
  710. >Dear God, why does it have wings?
  711. >She gives them a mighty flap that lifts her into the air and sends a flurry of burger wrappers flying
  712. >The purple horse holds her wings out, gliding across the restaurant's airspace and landing directly next to your table
  713. >You immediately scoot away, wedging yourself into the corner of the booth furthest from the winged unicorn
  714. >You're still staring at her when she speaks
  715. >"Sunburst! Funny running into you here."
  716. >"Twilight! What are the chances!" Sunburst stands up from his seat to give the purple freak a hug
  717. "What in God's name are you?"
  718. >Twilight's eyes snap open and she breaks the hug to look at you proper
  719. >"Hello there. Who might you be, little guy?" Twilight smiles warmly
  720. >You open your mouth again, intent on demanding an answer, but Sunburst cuts you off
  721. >You feel like that's been happening a lot lately
  722. >"Twilight, meet Anonymous. Anonymous, this is my good friend, Twilight Sparkle."
  723. >Twilight puts out a hoof to you
  724. >"Nice to meet you, Anonymous. I never knew Sunburst had a nephew. Or a sibling, now that I think about it."
  725. >You spare a brief glance at her hoof and look her in the eye again
  726. "We're not related."
  727. >Twilight looks between you and Sunburst a few times
  728. >"It's a long story." Sunburst explains
  729. >Twilight nods and slowly withdraws her hoof
  730. >"So...Have you seen Starlight?" Twilight asks, clearly trying to change the subject to subvert the building awkwardness
  731. >Sunburst nods
  732. >"She visited this morning, but she left in a hurry. Said something about needing to go help you, actually."
  733. >Huh?
  734. >That's not how it went down
  735. >Twilight quirks a brow
  736. >"Really? I haven't seen her since we arrived last night." Twilight taps her chin with a hoof, looking off in no particular direction, concern written all over her face
  737. >"Hope she's alright..." Twilight mutters
  738. >As Twilight is busy worrying about her friend, the bored cashier girl walks up to your table and sets down a tray of food she was holding in her mouth
  739. >"Here's your food, Sir. Have a hay of a day." She rattles off
  740. >It takes a disconcerting amount of effort for you to tear your eyes away from her as she walks away
  741. >Sunburst lick his chops and the food on the tray hovers over to sit in front of their respective owners
  742. >Looks like Sunburst got you a little burger, a small order of horseshoe shaped fries, and a soda
  743. >No wait - it's a milkshake!
  744. >Score!
  745.  
  746. >You must've been grinning like an idiot because Sunburst lets out a pleased little chuckle
  747. >"Eat up, Anonymous. I'm sure you must be...oh, dang-it!"
  748. >Sunburst's smile flips to a frown as he scrutinizes the inside of his burger
  749. >"I told her no pickles. Just a moment, Anonymous. I'll be right back."
  750. >Sunburst exits the booth, burger floating beside him as he heads back up to the front counter, leaving you and your food alone with the abomination named Twilight Sparkle
  751. >"Sunburst, do you think she'd be- oh, he left." Twilight slumped a bit when she noticed Sunburst's absence
  752. >Her gaze shifts from his empty seat to you
  753. >Your eyes squint suspiciously at her
  754. >Keeping watch of her, you grab for your burger only for your hooves to meet the wood of the tabletop
  755. >You whip your head to look at your food
  756. >It's gone
  757. >Darting your head every which way, you quickly find your burger floating above you, coated in a pinkish shimmering
  758. >You watch in disbelief as the wrapper curls off the sandwich, dropping to the table
  759. >The burger hovers over to Twilight, who casually takes a bite of it, half the small burger disappearing behind her ketchup covered lips
  760. >Twilight barely notices your dumbfounded glare and swallows the food in her mouth before speaking
  761. >"I'm annexing this for...royal fueling purposes. Yeah." She finishes her decree by tossing the other half into her greasy maw
  762. >"Welp, I gotta go. Hey, Autonomous, right?" She starts, not bothering to swallow the meal she just stole.
  763. >"Do me a favor and let Suburst know to let me know if he sees Starlight. He knows where to find me."
  764. >Twilight quickly heads for the front door and leaves the building, the double doors swinging closed just as Sunburst returns with a new burger
  765. >"Goodness, you ate it already? Someone was hungry!" Sunburst chuckles again
  766. >As he digs into his own food, your head hangs miserably
  767. >My fucking burger
  768.  
  769. >Sunburst sighs contentedly as the two of you step out of the Hayburger
  770. >"That really hit the spot! Wouldn't you say, Anonymous?"
  771. >You grumble and shrug
  772. >At least the milkshake was pretty good
  773. >You trudge behind an oblivious Sunburst, making your way down the city street once more
  774. >As you walk, you watch the passing refractions of the noonday sun shining through the crystal horses
  775. >Looks kinda pretty
  776. >"Starlight?"
  777. >Your ears perk up at Sunburst's voice and you look ahead
  778. >There, halfway out of an alleyway, is Starlight
  779. >She's grimacing, her mane is as messy as Sunburst's, and it looks like she's muttering to herself
  780. >"Starlight!" Sunburst calls out and jogs over to her
  781. >Thanks to your little legs, you have to sprint to catch up
  782. >Sunburst gasps once he's closer, and you soon notice why
  783. >At this distance, you can see she's got dirt in her fur and scrapes all over
  784. >And her nose is bleeding
  785. >"Sweet Celestia, Starlight, what happened to you?!"
  786. >Starlight shoves off Sunburst's attempts to examine her wounds
  787. >"I'm fine, just, um...More of a fight than I thought..."
  788. >Starlight's eyes were bleary and unfocused
  789. >That is, until they land on you
  790. >As soon as they do, they sharpen with a chilling focus that makes the fur on the back of your neck stand on end
  791. >"You..."
