>be you, Fluttershy
-
2.
>you know you're not supposed to leave your house unless it's important
-
3.
>but poor Angel is out of carrots
-
4.
>well, you've actually got plenty of carrots for him
-
5.
>but they're not the kind he likes
-
6.
>you bought them because there was a deal in bulk, but little Angel is such a fussy eater
-
7.
>he shredded them up and threw them all around the room
-
8.
>the poor dear was in quite a state
-
9.
>so long story short you had to venture out into the market today, even though the regulations make it kind of a bother to shop
-
10.
>but poor Angel is so hungry, and--
-
11.
"HEY!!"
-
12.
>you cringe instinctively and back away from the angry mare glaring over her shoulder at you
-
13.
"Keep six feet away from me!" the mare snaps
-
14.
"O-oh. I'm sorry. I forgot."
-
15.
>the mare narrows her eyes at you suspiciously
-
16.
>you back tentatively away until you are an appropriate distance from her
-
17.
>she glares at you and turns slowly back around
-
18.
"HEY!!!"
-
19.
>you cringe as you feel your rump bump up against somepony else
-
20.
>you turn to see another mare glaring at you angrily
-
21.
"What's the matter with you?!? Are you stupid or something?!?"
-
22.
"I-I'm sorry..."
-
23.
"You should be sorry! You could be a vampire for all I know!!"
-
24.
>you crouch meekly to the ground and begin backing away from the furious mare, who is still yelling at you
-
25.
>bump
-
26.
>you feel your rump press against the first mare, who wheels around furiously
-
27.
"Gah, you again! What's wrong with you? Don't you know the rules?"
-
28.
>both mares are now glaring at you
-
29.
>you press yourself to the ground, wishing it would swallow you up
-
30.
>more ponies are turning to look at the commotion
-
31.
>oh dear
-
32.
>what do they want you do to?
-
33.
>you can't keep six feet apart from both of them
-
34.
"Um, well, the thing is, if maybe one of you could just back up a little, I might have room..."
-
35.
"Uh, YOU bumped into ME!" snaps the first mare
-
36.
"Yeah!" the second chimes in. "You bumped into me too! Can't you even follow a simple rule?"
-
37.
>the first mare seems to notice something, and peers at you suspiciously
-
38.
"Hey, wait a minute. Where are your garlic cloves?"
-
39.
>your eyes widen in panic
-
40.
>you completely forgot to put on your garlic cloves this morning
-
41.
>you look around self-consciously
-
42.
>everypony else in the market is wearing a rope of garlic cloves around their neck
-
43.
>Mayor Mare handed down the ordinance last week
-
44.
>a few months ago a pony had been bitten by a new and nasty type of fruit bat
-
45.
>she'd turned into a vampire and developed an insatiable thirst for the blood of ponies
-
46.
>according to Twilight the vampire infection had spread across all Equestria, converting thousands upon thousands of ponies into dark minions of the night
-
47.
>horrible business, that
-
48.
>but more to the point, it's now illegal to go outside without putting on a rope of garlic cloves to ward off the vampires
-
49.
"HEY EVERYPONY!! THIS PONY ISN'T WEARING A ROPE OF GARLIC CLOVES!!!"
-
50.
>you are now pressed flush against the ground
-
51.
>you can feel their horrible accusing eyes on you
-
52.
>you try to dig a hole with your mind powers but it doesn't work
-
53.
>there is a whole crowd forming around you now
-
54.
"What do you mean she isn't wearing garlic cloves?" demands one pony
-
55.
"See for yourself!"
-
56.
"Hey, you're right! She isn't wearing garlic cloves!"
-
57.
"Why aren't you wearing garlic cloves?!?"
-
58.
"Yeah, do you WANT us all to turn into vampires?"
-
59.
"Maybe she IS a vampire!"
-
60.
"Yeah, only a vampire wouldn't want to wear garlic cloves around her neck!"
-
61.
>you feel their horrible, accusing eyes boring into you
-
62.
>you begin to quake with fear
-
63.
"N-no, I'm sorry, I just forgot...you see, I have a really hungry little bunny at home..."
-
64.
"SHUT UP, VAMPIRE!" one pony snaps
-
65.
"Yeah!"
-
66.
"um, I'm not a vampire..."
-
67.
"THAT'S JUST WHAT A VAMPIRE WOULD SAY!"
-
68.
>the circle is closing in on you now
-
69.
>you take several nervous steps backward
-
70.
>you cringe as you feel yourself bump into somepony again
-
71.
"Get away from me, vampire!" the pony shouts, shoving you
-
72.
"Hey, don't shove the vampire into me! I don't want to get vampire-infected!"
-
73.
"Shut up!"
-
74.
"YOU shut up!"
-
75.
>you are literally shaking
-
76.
>at least everypony stopped yelling at you and started yelling at each other
-
77.
"Now what in the hay is goin' on here?!?"
-
78.
>everypony stops yelling
-
79.
>you look up to see who it is
-
80.
>oh no
-
81.
>no
-
82.
>not her
-
83.
>please
-
84.
>the crowd parts slowly to let her through
-
85.
>you look up, quaking with fear
-
86.
>yep, it's her
-
87.
>Applejack pushes through the crowd
-
88.
"Now what in the hay is goin' on?" she asks again
-
89.
>the first mare who yelled at you points
-
90.
"This pony is a vampire!"
-
91.
>you cringe
-
92.
>Applejack looks down at you and frowns
-
93.
"Now why do y'all think that Fluttershy is a vampire?"
-
94.
>the second mare speaks up
-
95.
"She's not wearing her garlic rope!"
-
96.
"Yeah, she's trying to infect us all!" another pony chimes in from somewhere
-
97.
>Applejack turns back to you and frowns deeply
-
98.
>you shrink beneath her icy stare
-
99.
>Applejack used to be your friend, but ever since Mayor Mare put her in charge of vampire detection she's become unpleasant to be around
-
100.
"This true, Fluttershy? Are y'all a vampire?"
-
101.
"N...no. You see, Angel was out of carrots, or, well, he has carrots, but they're not the carrots he likes..."
-
102.
>you trail off, because Applejack isn't listening
-
103.
>she rubs a hoof pensively under her chin
-
104.
"Well, y'ain't wearin' yer garlic cloves, an' that's mighty suspicious...and ya did turn into a vampire that one time..."
-
105.
>several ponies cry out in alarm
-
106.
"There's been a vampire in this town the whole time?!?"
-
107.
"Why didn't you tell us?!?"
-
108.
"You're supposed to be protecting--"
-
109.
>Applejack silences them all with a glare
-
110.
"please, Applejack, I swear I'm not a vampire, I just forgot the cloves today, that's all, so if I could, um, just go home..."
-
111.
>Applejack glares at you, and you can no longer speak
-
112.
"I've heard enough. I reckon we should administer the test."
-
113.
>there was a unanimous murmur of approval from the surrounding crowd
-
114.
"The test!" cried one pony
-
115.
"THE TEST!" cried another
-
116.
>no
-
117.
>no please
-
118.
>not the test
-
119.
>but it's too late
-
120.
>the ponies seize you and drag you across the market
-
121.
>you can see the scaffolding at the center of the square drawing closer
-
122.
>no
-
123.
>no
-
124.
>your knees quake as they drag you up the stairs
-
125.
>ponies are jeering at you
-
126.
>screaming at you
-
127.
>tears well up in your eyes as they strap the bit into your mouth
-
128.
>the leather straps bite into your fetlocks as they secure your legs to the pulley
-
129.
>Applejack takes her place at the top of the platform
-
130.
>her face is the stern mask of the inquisitor
-
131.
>no
-
132.
>you hate this part
-
133.
>somepony slips a blindfold over your eyes
-
134.
>you can hear ropes and pulleys tightening around you
-
135.
>poor Angel
-
136.
>he's probably wondering where his carrots are
-
137.
>this is why you don't like to go shopping anymore
-
138.
