Expiry: Never

  1. 1.
    >It was an ordinary day in your little podunk town of Blossomvale
  2. 2.
    >There wasn’t much to do, not much going on at all
  3. 3.
    >Well, apart from the tulip festival
  4. 4.
    >It was an annual event that the locals used to fleece the tourists
  5. 5.
    >They’d all come in, get wow’d by the ‘pretty flowers’, and the florists would charge them out the rear for a bouquet that probably wouldn’t last their drive back home
  6. 6.
    >You were one of these florists of course
  7. 7.
    >”Hey Jess, busy day today?”
  8. 8.
    >Rob approached your stand at the local festival, a smirk from ear to ear, his eyes crinkling
  9. 9.
    “Eh… Not really. Pretty slow, honestly.”
  10. 10.
    >God, you crushed on Rob so hard
  11. 11.
    >He crossed his arms, and cast his gaze around all the other stands
  12. 12.
    >The crowd wasn’t at its peak for the week yet, stragglers were coming in here and there, but later it would definitely get busy
  13. 13.
    >”Yeah… Yeah… Not really busy.”
  14. 14.
    >He looked straight at you then
  15. 15.
    >And you looked straight at him
  16. 16.
    >”So, anyways, me and Amber were thinking about going down to the Clover later, wanna come?”
  17. 17.
    >Amber
  18. 18.
    >That was the worst part, Rob had a girlfriend
  19. 19.
    “Yeah sure! I’d love to come. Haven’t seen Amber in a minute.”
  20. 20.
    >Amber
  21. 21.
    >Yeah sure she was cool, and nice, and definitely Rob’s type
  22. 22.
    >Ugh
  23. 23.
    >”Great! Hey, catch you on your way outta here, yeah?”
  24. 24.
    “Yeah.”
  25. 25.
    >And with that he was walking away, hands in his pockets, rubbernecking at all the different flower stands
  26. 26.
    >You leaned forward with a sigh and put your chin in your palm, elbow against the wood of the stand
  27. 27.
    >Too slow of a day
  28. 28.
    >Nobody was even coming by your stand!
  29. 29.
    >It was rough
  30. 30.
    >Oh well, at least you’ll get to see Rob and… Amber… Later when you’re off
  31. 31.
     
  32. 32.
    >A few hours must’ve gone by, but the day was still only halfway over
  33. 33.
    >You nearly fell asleep a few times as you sat there
  34. 34.
    >When you were in high school– If someone was caught doing what you were doing?
  35. 35.
    >The teacher would typically scare them, and the student would headbutt the desk
  36. 36.
    >Everyone would laugh
  37. 37.
    >”Well hello there miss!”
  38. 38.
    >WHAM
  39. 39.
    >You headbutted the table and then quickly gathered yourself
  40. 40.
    “Oh, uh, oh jeez. That’s my bad.”
  41. 41.
    >You coughed, clearing your throat, blushing
  42. 42.
    >You looked up at the man who spoke to you–
  43. 43.
    >He had a wide eyed, toothy smile
  44. 44.
    >It sorta reminded you of the cheshire cat
  45. 45.
    >And his eyes…
  46. 46.
    “Uh… How can I help you?”
  47. 47.
    >You tried to regain composure by brushing a lock of hair between your ear, trying to smile nonchalantly
  48. 48.
    >The man leaned forward, just slightly
  49. 49.
    >”Oh my dear, easily startled, are we?”
  50. 50.
    >You had a terrible habit of being easy to scare, that was true, but you weren’t even expecting this!
  51. 51.
    >Being at work and all, and almost falling asleep
  52. 52.
    “Well… No not–”
  53. 53.
    >”Quite alright, quite alright. Here, say we help you overcome your fear of… Circumstance, shall we?”
  54. 54.
    >What?
  55. 55.
    “Well… Look man, I’m not–”
  56. 56.
    >You raised your hands defensively
  57. 57.
    >And then he raised his hands, or… One hand
  58. 58.
    >And then snapped his finger
  59. 59.
    >You blinked, and he was gone
  60. 60.
    >Very quickly, you found that you had lost all of the balance you thought you had before
  61. 61.
    >With a caterwaul, you tilted back from your seat and landed with an ‘Oomph’ on your back
  62. 62.
    “God… What the hell…”
  63. 63.
    >Did that guy precision deliver like… Fentanyl dust or something?
  64. 64.
    >Were you dying right now?
  65. 65.
    >Is this what dying feels like?
  66. 66.
    >No, wait, your eyes were closed
  67. 67.
    >And nothing felt right
  68. 68.
    >You felt dizzy, incredibly dizzy, and you weren’t sure why
  69. 69.
    >Why would you feel dizzy?
  70. 70.
    >Is this anxiety?
  71. 71.
    >WERE YOU HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK?!
  72. 72.
    >ARE YOU PANICKING!?
  73. 73.
    >You felt yourself breathing heavier, and heavier, quicker, faster
  74. 74.
    >And then your eyes snapped open to a sky blue sky
  75. 75.
    >Clouds floated above you, closer to the ground than you remembered them being
  76. 76.
    >Reflexively, you went to brush a lock of your hair– To soothe the nerves
  77. 77.
    >The appendage that came up in front of your face did little to calm you down
  78. 78.
    “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
  79. 79.
     
  80. 80.
    >You shrieked, you cried out, you wailed
  81. 81.
    >What in the name of the LORD was that?!
  82. 82.
    >You stared at it after your outburst– Was it a-a-a hoof?
  83. 83.
    >No! Hooves don’t look like that!
  84. 84.
    >It was like a hot pink stump, with fur!
  85. 85.
    >Where was your hand?!
  86. 86.
    >Where were both of your hands?!
  87. 87.
    >You quivered there, staring at your trembling… Things
  88. 88.
    >As it turns out, you wouldn’t be alone for very long
  89. 89.
    >Footsteps? No, hoofsteps approached you rapidly–
  90. 90.
    >”Lily? Lily! What’s wrong!”
  91. 91.
    >”We heard you yell! Is there a monster?! Was it… Discord again?”
  92. 92.
    >You weren’t even sure you wanted to look at them, but look you did
  93. 93.
    >Your head practically creaked as it turned, and you found yourself face to face with two bonafide… Pony… Creature… Things
  94. 94.
    >They sure were cute.
  95. 95.
    >And that was the last thing you thought about as you nodded off– Into the black
  96. 96.
    >You came to a few minutes later– You were still on the ground there, laying down, but you must’ve been moved a little
  97. 97.
    >You felt more comfortable in this position
  98. 98.
    >Plus, it felt nice having a damp rag over your forehead
  99. 99.
    >This was really nice, actually
  100. 100.
    >Did you faint? You’ve never fainted before, not ever
  101. 101.
    >”Oh! Lily! You’re awake! Oh thank goodness, Orchid and I were so worried!”
  102. 102.
    >You turned your head, a sleepy smile probably plastered on your face
  103. 103.
    >Pony
  104. 104.
    >A cream colored mare, but not a mare, it was impossible to describe
  105. 105.
    >She looked so expressive, so intelligent, so worried
  106. 106.
    >”Lily… Why are you looking at me like that?”
  107. 107.
    >Wait
  108. 108.
    >Was she talking to you?
  109. 109.
    “Are you… Talking to me?”
  110. 110.
    >The cream colored pony’s eyes widened, her pupils becoming pinpricks
  111. 111.
    >Then she took a deep inhale, and closed her eyes
  112. 112.
    >”OOOOOORCHIIIID! LILY HAS AMNESIA AGAAAAAIIIIN!”
