-
3.
>A large magical anomaly detected in the everfree forest
-
4.
>A potential disaster if it cannot be neutralized in time
-
5.
>With the mare's thoughts on Lyra at home, she summersaults through the air
-
6.
>She flies from tree to tree with the skill and precision of a mare with a decade of experience and training
-
7.
>Checking her scanner once more, the anomaly is close
-
8.
>Scanning the forest floor for movement she hears the crunch of leaves
-
9.
"Special agent Sweetie Drops reporting in, anomaly within range, standby for description, over."
-
10.
She whispers into her earpiece as the clumsy human steps over the bush
-
11.
"Headquarters, be advised, anomaly is a bipedal primate, hairless, green skin very tall. No apparent flight or magic at this point"
-
12.
>She patiently whispers into her earpiece as anon passes underneath
-
13.
"Special agent, you are clear to neutralize the anomaly"
-
14.
>Bon Bons heart pounds from the rush of adrenaline
-
15.
>It's a feeling she rarely gets to savor anymore
-
16.

"Copy that, headquarters"

25.
>You hear whispers in the canopy yet every time you look, you see nothing but darkness
-
26.
"Hello?"
-
27.
>You cry out into the forest unsure if you should dare let yourself be known
-
28.
>You hear some hooves crash down into the leaves of the forest floor
-
29.
>You only have an chance to look, leaping away in fear
-
30.
>All you get is a stare from a little mare as the blinding light of her ray gun consumes you
-
31.
>You scream out in pain but as soon as the ray hits you, its over
-
32.
>You lay in your pile of clothes coming to as the mare stands over you
-
33.
>She looks oddly perplexed at the form the ray gave you but she carries on with her business
-
34.
"Headquarters, target neutralized. The ray gave the anomaly the form of a pegasus colt, please advise"
-
35.
>You recover from your daze as the little mare from only a second ago now towers over you
-
36.
"W-what? Pegasus?"
-
37.
>You weakly ask as you struggle to sit upright with your new anatomy
-
38.
>You wiggle an arm out of your suit jacket and find a furry arm
-
39.
>As the clothing slips away, it reveals a hoof
-
40.
>Your heart pounds painfully as you examine the smooth hoof with dread
-
41.
>You quickly pull the second hoof out of the clothes in denial
-
42.
>Still the second hoof defies all logic
-
43.
>You touch them together and feel the sensation of your hooves clicking together
-
44.
>You tremble as you feel the sensation through your nerves
-
45.
>This isn't some illusion
-
46.
>Those hooves are real and they're yours
-
47.
>Bon bon keeps a close eye on you as she listens to her commands from headquarters
-
48.
"Copy agent, prepare the anomaly for transport"
-
49.
>Bon bon contemplates the necessity of preparation for transport
-
50.
>Your crying in particular makes her question how necessary all of this is
-
51.
>She weakens her resolve as you rub your tear soaked eyes with your hooves
-
52.
"Copy headquarters. Where is the anomaly being transported to?"
-
53.
>Bon bon asks glancing away from your helpless little colt body
-
54.
>The silence in her earpiece worries her
-
55.
"Headquarters, do you read?"
-
56.
"Copy agent Drops, the anomaly is to be transferred to Tartarus for urgent quarantine"
-
57.
>Bon bon feels her hooves tremble
-
58.
>Tartarus? The prison for only the most evil creatures in all of Equestria?
-
59.
>Surely headquarters must be out of their mind
-
60.
>She looks to the defenseless little colt struggling to climb out of the clothes pile
-
61.
>Her eyes water with despair as she gets lost in thought
-
62.
>Why would this adorable colt be such a threat
-
63.
"SPECIAL AGENT! Do you read? Transport unit is inbound to your location, have the anomaly ready for transport"
-
64.
>Bon bon reaches out her hoof to touch you
-
65.
>You quietly beg as you fall on your back
-
66.
"No, no! Please, leave me alone."
-
67.
>You beg wincing in fear
-
68.
>Bon bon's guilt consumes her
-
69.
>She's always followed orders without hesitation but a little colt like you doesn't deserve the fate that awaits you
-
70.
>She picks you up and holds you tight
-
71.
"Special agent, do you copy?"
-
72.
>Bon Bons rage boils over
-
73.
"Negative headquarters, I won't let you take him"
-
74.
>She boldly declares into the earpiece before tossing the kit on the forest floor
-
75.
>She looks down at the earpiece with stunned disbelief
-
76.
>With one impulsive decision to save a little colt, she commits.
-
77.
>Treason...she whimpers to herself
-
78.
>If S.M.I.L.E. were to get their hooves on her, she would be sent to Tartarus right along side you for sure
-
79.
> She throws you on her back and gallops away before the other agents can get there.
-
80.
>Her hooves ache with anxiety as you cling to her back in desperation
-
81.
>Though she was your attacker just seconds ago, she's the only lifeline you have
-
82.
-
83.
>The door slams shut behind Bonbon
-
84.
>Every second counts as the transport unit has likely found out Sweetie drops has gone rogue
-
85.
>She gently sets you down on the floor helping you get your hooves planted
-
86.
"There there, you're okay little one, I'm going to keep you safe."
-
87.
>Bon Bon reassures you as your legs wobble with uncertainty
-
88.
"What did you do to me!"
-
89.
>Your voice quivers unable to cry anymore to lament the loss of your body
-
90.
>Bon Bon winces with guilt. She had no idea what the neutralization ray was capable of
-
91.
>For that matter she wasn't sure what the monstrous bipedal primate was capable of either
-
92.
"I...did what i had to do."
-
93.
>Bon bon painfully sighs trying to reassure you and herself that she made the right decision
-
94.
>Some hoofsteps upstairs frighten the cream colored mare
-
95.
>She stands on her two hooves with an expert dexterity
-
96.
>Her laser focused mind analyzes every creak till the minty green mare appears at the top of the stairs
-
97.
"Bon Bon? I thought you left for a candy convention"
-
98.
>She sees your tear soaked face overwhelmed with sadness and her love in her martial arts stance
-
99.
"Bon Bon, who's this, what's going on?"
-
100.
>Lyra asks as you trip over yourself to get away and hide in the corner
-
101.
>Bon Bon rushes over to hug her mare as the seconds tick by in her mind
-
102.
"No time to explain. We need to get the go bags. S.M.I.L.E. will be here any minute"
-
103.
>Bon Bon frantically states rushing upstairs to get ready
-
104.
>You Glance across the room and meet eyes with the mint colored mare
-
105.
>Your hooves slip uselessly across the hardwood
-
106.
>You desperately press yourself into the corner hiding behind the couch
-
107.
>Much to your horror the mint colored mare cautiously approaches
-
108.
"Hello there, what's your name, are you okay"
-
109.
>Her soothing voice asks as she lays out on the hardwood
-
110.
>Being eye level with the unicorn does little to ease your mind
-
111.
>The mare reaches out with her hoof
-
112.
>A little chocolate ball
-
113.
>A peace offering
-
114.
>One you are not inclined to take
-
115.
>You retreat even harder into the corner desperate to escape
-
116.
>You shriek in terror and flail against the wall as you feel her hoof touch yours
-
117.
>Her soothing voice calls to you as you hyperventilate in agonizing panic
-
118.
"It's ok, you're safe here. Bon Bon and i will take good care of you"
-
119.
>She smiles placing the chocolate ball in your hoof
-
120.
>You feel a sense of unease but cornered and scared you accept the chocolate ball
-
121.
>With no understanding of how to use your hoof, unlike the mare sitting before you, the chocolate ball rolls out of your hoof
-
122.
>you eye your seeming captor with suspicion waiting to see if she'll make a move if you dare try to reach for it
-
123.
>You whimper once more as it rolls back towards the unicorn
-
124.
>Lyra is baffled
-
125.
>Clearly you wanted it and tried to eat it but it's like you weren't even trying to hold it
-
126.
>Maybe this poor Pegasus is special.
-
127.
>All Pegasi are a little retarded after all
-
128.
>No matter to Lyra
-
129.
>She is dedicated to doing whatever she can to put your mind at ease
-
130.
>With a glow of her horn the chocolate ball levitates straight into your mouth
-
131.
>The sweet rich flavor of the chocolate is enough to calm your trembling body
-
132.
>Though your stomach still rumbles with anxiety you relax in front of the mare
-
133.
"Is that better little colt? I have more if you want some."
-
134.
>Lyra politely offers giving you a head tilt and a warm smile coaxing the words out of you
-
135.
>You sniffle and lean against the wall propping yourself up with your hoof
-
136.
>The only pleasant thing to happen to you all day was the chocolate ball
-
137.
>Maybe another one would help ease your mind
-
138.
"Can i have another?"
-
139.
>Your cute colt voice whispers cracking under the strain of holding back whimpers
-
140.
>The dysphoria of what your voice should sound like and actually sounds like causes you to clam back up in fear
-
141.
>Lyra is absolutely delighted by the progress nonetheless
-
142.
>She can barely contain her excitement as she prepares another chocolate ball with her horn
-
143.
"Of course you can have another"
-
144.
>Lyra's sweet voice cheers as she levitates the chocolate ball towards your mouth
-
145.
"My name is Lyra, can i get a 'thank you Lyra'?"
-
146.
>You blush with embarrassment as you play the airplane game like some toddler
-
147.
>Stupid useless hooves and useless wings you whine to yourself as your wings flap and slap against the wall
-
148.
"Thank you Lyra"
-
149.
>You whimper as the fear evaporates and turns into despair
-
150.
>Lyra's smile of joy quickly fades as she watches your fearful expression fade
-
151.
"What's wrong little colt, did you hurt your wings? Are your hooves ok?"
-
152.
>She asks with genuine concern grabbing you once more
-
153.
>She's relieved that this time the reach doesn't cause you to panic with a flurry of feathers
-
154.
>But she finds nothing wrong
-
155.
>Your lip trembles as you glance up to the unicorn
-
156.
>Your hitched breathing can barely make a coherent sentence but you try anyway
-
157.
"What happened to my hands?"
-
158.
>You beg with desperation to return to normal
-
159.
>Lyra freezes with shock
-
160.
>Hands?
-
161.
>Lyra's mind hones in on the commotion happening upstairs
-
162.
>She glares with disbelief that Bon Bon is doing secret agent work behind her back
-
163.
>Worst of all she's bringing the work home!
-
164.
"Hands? Like a dragon? Or..."
-
165.
>Lyra delicately asks worried about triggering your tears once more
-
166.
>Your desperation gets the better of you as you hold up your hooves
-
167.
>You look at the smooth shining hooves and your eyes water
-
168.
"My hands, my human hands! What happened to them?"
-
169.
>Your despair once more turns to fear as you lock eyes with the unicorn
-
170.
>A frightening gaze of pure joy
-
171.
>You back up against the wall once more
-
172.
>The mare's excitement frightens you to your core
-
173.
"What did i say?"
-
174.
>You timidly ask with a gulp
-
175.
>Lyra scoops you up into her embrace resisting the urge to squeeze you to death
-
176.
"Oh wow! A real human! Please tell me you aren't lying!"
-
177.
>The Mint colored mare cheers squishing you tight against her body
-
178.
>Your hooves uselessly push against her but her strength is overwhelming
-
179.
"Please! I can't breathe"
-
180.
>You beg flailing your legs
-
181.
>Lyra blushes loosening her embrace
-
182.
"Sorry, i couldn't help it. A real human is in my hooves."
-
183.
>Lyra hugs you once more
-
184.
>You feel an odd sense of comfort in her hooves
-
185.
>Though you'd never admit it
-
186.
>Despite your objections to being handled like a child, you lean against the mare's warm coat
-
187.
"My books told me so much about humans and how they live. I have so many questions to ask."
-
188.
>Lyra's horn glows drawing her books near
-
189.
"What happened to your hands and legs? Are humans shape shifters? Do you have magic?"
-
190.
>Lyra asks focusing all her attention on you, the quiet little colt, cuddling up against her
-
191.
>The unicorn's excitement turns to suspicion as she whispers to you
-
192.
"Did Bon Bon do this to you?"
-
193.
>She asks listening to all the racket upstairs as Bon Bon packs
-
194.
>Your lips quiver feeling safe in the mare's embrace
-
195.
>You sniffle and nod before burying your face in her chest
-
196.
>Lyra growls with annoyance as she hears the hooves clamoring down the stairs
-
197.
>Bon bon tosses the saddlebags to the floor
-
198.
>Everything she needs to start her new life in hiding once more
-
199.
"There isn't much time, we need to split up and gallop east. I have an established alias in-"
-
200.
"Bon Bon! How could you!"
-
201.
>Lyra bursts out in emotional rage
-
202.
>You desperately cling to her as she makes her stand against Bon Bon
-
203.
>Bon bon's eyes meet yours as you glance away
-
204.
>Her sorrow is palpable
-
205.
>Her decision to go rogue has cost her, her livelihood, her safety and now maybe even her own wife
-
206.
>She forgets the mental ticking clock for a moment
-
207.
>Making things right with her wife takes center stage
-
208.
>At any moment their very lives could be in danger
-
209.
"Lyra, I'm so sorry, i promised i wouldn't do any secret agent work for S.M.I.L.E. As you know, duty calls. Just know i did it to protect you"
-
210.
>Lyra, overcome with grief from the revelation, breaks
-
211.
>She holds you up for bon bon to see
-
212.
>your legs dangle as your wings instinctively flop trying to take flight
-
213.
"You took away his beautiful hands? You turned a real life human into a pony for what!?"
-
214.
>Lyra snaps pulling you tight against her chest once more
-
215.
"He could have been our human Bon Bon"
-
216.
>Bon bon stands, baffled by the grievance
-
217.
"I made us wanted fugitives harboring a magical anomaly and your biggest concern is that i turned him into a pony!?"
-
218.
"Yes!"
-
219.
>Lyra snaps back without hesitation
-
220.
>Bon bon's defensive attitude melts away at the absurdity
-
221.
>Her hooves click against the hardwood as she hugs her wife
-
222.
>The silly mint mare was always her ride or die
-
223.
>This certainly was no exception
-
224.
>The mares kiss sandwiching you between their chests
-
225.
>Bon bon's heart melts as she doesn't even have to ask if Lyra is ready
-
226.
"What did i do to deserve you?"
-
227.
>Lyra scoffs
-
228.
"What did i do to deserve you. We're going to wind up in Tartarus because of you"
-
229.
>Lyra sassily whines
-
230.
>As if on cue the glass shatters and the smoke bombs soar through the window
-
231.
>The realization is instant
-
232.
>Bon Bon let the clock tick away
-
233.
>She hugs you and Lyra tight
-
234.
>With a kick from her hoof she opens a secret passage in the wall
-
235.
"I love you! Just follow the tunnel till you reach the end. Gallop east and don't stop."
-
236.
>Bon bon frantically orders as the smoke fills the room
-
237.
>Lyra coughs clutching you tight as she enters the tunnel
-
238.
"But what about you, i won't leave without you"
-
239.
>Her frantic worries melt away with another sweet reassuring kiss from Bon Bon
-
240.
"I'll hold them off. I'll find you. I promise"
-
241.
>She shoves the saddlebags into the tunnel and slams the door tight before lyra can get another word
-
242.
>Her eyes narrow, this is no longer just her doing her job
-
243.
>It's her defending her family
-
244.
>Fueled by this enriching sense of duty her eyes pierce through the smoke
-
245.
>The sloppy tactics of the intruders make her crack a contemptuous grin
-
246.
>Hmph rookies...she thinks to herself ready to face down her colleagues
-
247.
-
248.
>Lyra emerges from the tunnel with you quietly sobbing on her back
-
249.
>The emotional whiplash of the day is too much to bear

253.

254.
>Lyra glances around at the sky
-
255.
>She's desperate to keep moving
-
256.
>She trots along the quiet narrow trail from the tunnel
-
257.
>This must be how Bon Bon disappeared so often
-
258.
>She quips to herself in frustration
-
259.
>Your quiet sobs slowly get louder
-
260.
>The exhaustion of the day continues to take it's toll on you
-
261.
>It's enough to make you want to give up entirely
-
262.
>You're a homeless fugitive trapped in a little colt body being tracked down by secret agents
-
263.
>Can it get worse?
-
264.
>Your stomach growls
-
265.
>Your lip quivers
-
266.
>It's too much for you to bear
-
267.
>The quiet patter of hooves on the dirt is overshadowed as you sob in anguish
-
268.
>With the sun setting and the darkness enveloping the forest
-
269.
>Lyra breaks down in worry
-
270.
>She doesn't even know where she's going
-
271.
>She doesn't even know if she's going the right direction
-
272.
>With the sun setting and the moon rising, Lyra stops
-
273.
>Worried, she finds a quiet spot hidden from the trail in the thicket
-
274.
>She lowers you off her back
-
275.
"Shh, it's okay, I'm here for you. It's going to be okay"
-
276.
>Lyra explains with a trembling voice trying to reassure you and herself
-
277.
>She pulls you onto her lap
-
278.
>Her warmth shields you from the growing bitterness of the cold
-
279.
>Her embrace does little to change the fact you're a scared, hungry little colt but it's a start
-
280.
"It's okay little guy, we'll be okay, what's wrong?"
-
281.
>Lyra whispers trying to get your sobbing to quiet down
-
282.
>You fully embrace the comfort putting your own little hooves around Lyra
-
283.
>You cling to her tightly as you quiet your sobs by crying into her belly
-
284.
>Lyra's eyes water with tears as she strokes your mane
-
285.
"Just let it out."
-
286.
>She whispers keeping on eye on the forest
-
287.
"What's your name little one?"
-
288.
>She quietly and tenderly asks wanting to help you feel at ease
-
289.
>The daylight fades along with your hope of ever turning human again

291.

-
292.
>She's the only creature so far that has brought you comfort
-
293.
>When she finally asks for your name, you give it to her
-
294.
"My name is Anonymous"
-
295.
>You whine out of a sense of futility
-
296.
>Lyra can hardly contain her excitement hearing a human name for the first time
-
297.
"That's a unique name, I haven't heard anything like it before"
-
298.
>Lyra says as she tries to keep herself calm and raise your spirits
-
299.
>Despite the kind words, your stomach still growls in pain
-
300.
>You're an adult, maybe you can figure it out for yourself
-
301.
>Lyra's guilt consumes her as he hears your stomach growl
-
302.
>She tries to remember if bon bon packed any snacks but the mare doesn't recall bon bon ever making her way to the kitchen
-
303.
"Are you okay anon, are you hungry? I can get you something"
-
304.
>You reflexively wave your hoof trying to dismiss her observation
-
305.
"What? No I'm good"
-
306.
>You say trying your best not to be a burden
-
307.
>Your anxiety builds
-
308.
>They must know you were an adult
-
309.
>The accusations of being lazy preemptively make you deny help
-
310.
"Are you sure? i can get you something."
-
311.
>Lyra asks concerned for her little colt
-
312.
>You push against her
-
313.
>It must be some kind of trap
-
314.
"I'm fine"
-
315.
>You whine as you clench your stomach
-
316.
>Lyra can't stand to see her colt like this any longer
-
317.
>She knows she's not supposed to let you out of her sight
-
318.
>but it has to be done
-
319.
>She gently sets you down on the grass of the thicket
-
320.
>The warmth of the gentle unicorn mare quickly fades
-
321.
>The cold of the dusk forest sends chills through your little body as your wings draw tight
-
322.
"W-where are you going?"
-
323.
>You ask looking around at the scary branches in the evil trees
-
324.
>Lyra pats your head before giving you a relieving smile
-
325.
"Just stay right here anon, I'll be right back"
-
326.
>You scoff at the request, well, of course you're not going anywhere
-
327.
>As her hoofsteps trail off into the distance
-
328.
>You don't dare admit it but you'd rather be glued to her side for whatever it is she's going
-
329.
>Instead you defiantly sit alone in the woods.
-
330.
>It's as terrifying as you remember this morning but worse
-
331.
>Now you're basically a toddler
-
332.
>The forest gets darker the trees become more menacing.
-
333.
>Every noise becomes a stab in the chest raising your heart rate

476.
"He's so adorable like this"

485.
"He has the cutest snores! Aw, i just love him"

486.

505.
>You catch a glimpse of the other Pegasi on the field giggling at your expense

506.
>Your face turns red
-
507.
>You hide your face with your other wing as Lyra works her way through your feathers
-
508.
"Mama, stop"
-
509.
>You cutely whine trying to push her away with your little hooves
-
510.
"If you would preen your feathers yourself then i wouldn't have to embarrass you"
-
511.
>Lyra explains satisfied with your wings
-
512.
>She gives you a tight hug
-
513.
"Now go out there and show em what a human with wings can do"

514.

521.
"Was that really necessary Lyra?"
-
522.
>Bon Bon asks raising an eyebrow
-
523.
>Lyra has to think for a moment leaning against her
-
524.
"Maybe not, but it's my way of making sure he knows we love him"
-
525.
>You trot out into the field as the small crowd of parents cheer from the stands
-
526.
>You expect some insults to fly your way as you get to your mark
-
527.
>Flutter foal, fuzzy feathers, all insults ripe for the picking as he just had his mom preen him
-
528.
>However, the fillies and colts are dead silent

530.

561.
"Are you okay?"

564.

572.
>Lyra cheers giving you a tight hug
-
573.
>Bon bon's excitement is much more subdued as she tussles your mane
-
574.
>You shy away from the love
-
575.
"But i didn't win"
-
576.
>Anon whines not understanding why they were so happy
-
577.
>Bon Bon leaps at the opportunity to be your best advocate

578.

579.
>Bon Bon nearly tears up with joy over your athletic feat

580.
"I couldn't be more proud."
-
581.
>Lyra playfully rolls her eyes

582.
"Yea, the flip was cool, but you saved the other Pegasus! He could have been seriously hurt if he hit the ground as fast as he was going. You're a hero anon!

583.
>Lyra cheers giving you a humiliating amount of affection
-
584.
>You nervously glance around but you lock eyes with the light gray Pegasus
-
585.
>You flinch expecting him to laugh as Lyra aggressively loves on you
-
586.
>Instead you're met with a smile and wave from the bandaged pony

587.
>The words ring in your mind, "hero"

594.

-
606.
>The selection rivals that of earth

607.

-
610.
>You look back and see the terrified agent glance around in fear

626.

627.
>He makes sure his presence is known with every clap of his hooves on the hardwood
-
628.
"Agent Drops...you sure know how to throw those rookies off your tail"
-
629.
>The suspense builds as Bon Bon does everything in her power to keep herself between you and him
-
630.
"Those rookies thought for sure you would be off the grid somewhere. Truth is, the second a veteran agent was on the case, tracking you down to this vacation town was just a question of when we wanted to pick up the anomaly. Needless to say the rookies got desk duty"
-
631.
>Agent Furlong monologues till the room is enveloped in silence
-
632.
>A shocking crack in the silence comes from Bon Bon
-
633.

634.

635.
>She cries thinking about the first time you called her mom
-
636.
>Her body trembles thinking about the first time you slept on her back
-
637.
>It's not fair
-
638.
>Why now when she has finally found joy
-
639.
"Please, Agent Furlong. He's not dangerous. He's just a colt! Look at him, he isn't a threat to Equestria! Lyra and i know him better than anypony and."
-
640.
>Her begging is cut short by the gravely voice of the old unicorn
-
641.
"Agent Drops, you know that wasn't your call to make in that forest. Your treasonous actions endangered everypony in Equestria"
-
642.
"Then take me! Take me instead! If I have to go to Tartarus for my actions, I'll go quietly; but please, leave my little anon alone!"
-
643.
>Bon Bon hardly recognizes herself as she drops to the floor begging
-
644.
>Just a few months ago she would have fought off everypony in this room
-
645.
>Now, she's reduced herself to begging
-
646.
>Agent Furlong looks down at the once respected agent
-
647.
>With the glow of his horn a scroll slips out of his coat pocket
-
648.
"That decision isn't up to me Agent Drops, and Celestia herself has already weighed in"
-
649.
>You whimper holding Bon Bon tight
-
650.
>You look around at the agents ready to deliver the results the agency demands with frightening efficiency
-
651.
>You wonder what perverse reality these ponies live in to where they can break up your family
-
652.
>Magical anomaly or not, you've done nothing worthy of this heartbreak
-
653.
>Deep down you wonder if you can just give yourself up and make this all go away
-
654.
>Furlong clears his throat

"By Royal decree: the magical anomaly known by the name of anonymous is hereby reclassified from 'urgent quarantine' to 'benign' anomaly. Princess Celestia has observed the progress made with the anomaly known as anonymous and looks forward to progress reports regarding his continuing integration into equestrian society"
-
656.
>Furlong rolls the scroll and slips it back into his coat pocket
-
657.
>Bon Bon and Lyra look to each other with cautious optimism
-
658.
>While Celestia may be fine with you being in Equestria, the two mares hold each other tight with uncertainty
-
659.
>Agent Furlong senses the confusion and erases all doubts
-
660.
"Agent Heartstrings, Agent Drops, I don't have the time nor resources to deal in petty revenge or punishment. You will be reassigned to observe the anomaly and report to Princess Celestia your findings"
-
661.
>Agent Furlong explains as the tension eases in the room
-
662.
>Bon Bon's breath trembles as she finally breathes with relief
-
663.
>Initially you struggle to understand what Agent Furlong was getting at but as Bon Bon hugs and kisses you with relief you understand that whatever it was must have been a good thing.
-
664.
"You will return to Ponyville that way the anomaly can be kept under the watchful eye of F.R.O.W.N. You will also be reinstated with your original agency stipend. I trust there are no problems with this assignment?"
-
665.
>Bon Bon and Lyra can hardly believe their ears
-
666.
>It's everything they could have wanted
-
667.
>They're no longer fugitives, Anon is safe, and they can remain a family
-
668.
"You can count on us Agent Furlong"
-
669.
>Bon Bon says with a quiver in her voice
-
670.
"Yea, we won't let you down!"
-
671.
>Lyra joins as the agents back away
-
672.
>Furlong nods to the agents who then unlock the door.
-
673.
"Good, with that mess out of the way, i have more pressing matters to deal with."
-
674.
>He turns his attention to the shopkeeper locked in the backroom
-
675.
>The scared teen stallion looks into Furlong's sunglasses
-
676.
"Look man, i didn't hear anything, i swear"
-
677.
>A slight smirk flashes on the corner of Furlong's lip as a flash of magic flows from his horn
-
678.
>The memory erasing spell works it magic on the lone witness as Furlong holds up the stallion.
-
679.
>The dazed earth pony stallion sways as he looks to the agents eyes once more
-
680.
"You sure didn't, you were asleep and this poor family would like some ice cream. You should serve them"
-
681.
>Furlong leaves a few bits on the counter as the agents slip out the front door
-
682.
>The teen stallion shakes off the daze and heads back to the counter
-
683.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting like that. What would you all like?"
-
684.
>Bon Bon and Lyra hold you tight still shaking off the frightful encounter.
-
685.
"Pick anything you want anon, it's a special day for all of us."
-
686.
-
687.
-
688.
>The months pass but it's felt like ages.
-
689.
>Every day is a new adventure in Ponyville
-
690.
>Even though you now have to go to Ms. Cheerlie's class, it's still a good time to make friends
-
691.
>Lyra's magic tucks you in nice and tight
-
692.
>The loving unicorn lingers in the room as you settle in to bed
-
693.
"Tell me some more about planes anon"
-
694.
>Lyra softly whispers sitting at your bedside
-
695.
>You feel the excitement inside you
-
696.
>Flight was your thing after all
-
697.
"Well, humans don't have magic so we made machines that fly. We had big ones small ones. Really fast ones."
-
698.
>Your wings ache from practice and beg for some rest as a yawn escapes your mouth
-
699.
>Bon Bon sneaks up to the door careful not to let her hoofsteps give her away
-
700.
>She peeks through the crack in the door to watch anon and Lyra in the glow of the nightlight
-
701.
>Lyra can't contain herself
-
702.
"And the big ones? How big did they get?"
-
703.
>You start to fantasize thinking about the same childlike wonder you had as a kid at the airport
-
704.
>Seeing the same energy in Lyra's eyes makes you feel warm inside
-
705.
"The big ones were bigger than Manehattan sky scrapers and could fly halfway around the world without stopping"
-
706.
>You cheerfully explain
-
707.
>Lyra scoots in closer
-
708.
"How did the planes fly without magic?"
-
709.
>Bon Bon rolls her eyes with a smirk before entering the room with a squeak of the door hinges
-
710.
"Okay, that's enough Lyra. Our little champion needs his bedtime"
-
711.
>Lyra shuffles to her hooves with embarrassment
-
712.
>Bon Bon gives you your little Pegasus stuffie
-
713.
>You take it without a second thought squeezing it with all the love you wish you could give your moms right now
-
714.
>Your squeezing is interrupted by a kiss on the forehead and a loving stroke of your mane
-
715.
"Sleep well our little champion, i love you"
-
716.
>You dreamily sigh melting into your cozy pillow and warm sheets
-
717.
"I love you mom"
-
718.
>Lyra leans over to give you a kiss before leaning against her adoring wife
-
719.
"Good night sweetheart, i love you"
-
720.
>No matter how many times you hear it you still just want to leap at them and hug them
-
721.
>Your wings quiver wanting to do it but you sigh with a relaxed breath your human self never could have dreamed
-
722.
"I love you too mama"
-
723.
>You whisper under a yawn
-
724.
>You hold your stuffie tight and look up to your medals hanging above
-
725.
>When you crossed into Equestria you had no idea what to expect
-
726.
>Nothing could have prepared you for what happened but every day you look at the morning sun thankful that it happened the way it did
-
727.
>The lights click off as you drift off to sleep excited for a new day
-
728.
