  3. >you are Anon
  4. >it's about 11 pm, or later and you're walking the straight dark alley, making your way to the closest bus station so you can get home
  5. >and there's nothing you'd want more right now, than to already be there, it's damn cold out here
  6. >you can already see the light of the street lamps at the end of your dark shortcut
  7. >you're almost reaching the end and preparing to turn right. But, out of sudden:
  8. >something of skyblue color jumps from behind the corner and crashes directly into you, making you fall on your back pretty hard
  9. >as you vision clears from the shock, you can finally see what actualy happened
  10. >there's a blue pony with rainbow colored mane and tail laying on your chest
  11. >you also notice she has a strange, plastic-metal collar around her neck
  12. >“Sorry hoomie, i'm in a hurry.“ she mumbles a bit mockingly
  13. >then she gets up as fast as she can and continues running the way you came
  14. >another figure comes from around the corner
  15. >it's a rough looking man, dressed as if he just ran out of his house, grabbing only the first jacket he could find
  16. >he's furiously tapping on some sort of remote controller
  17. >“Fucking piece of shit thing, work! Work!“
  18. >he noticed you, laying there
  19. >“Sorry for that cunt.“ he says as he runs past you
  20. >you turn around to see what the hell is happening
  21. >it's obvious he's chasing her
  22. >she has a good ten meters of lead, but of of nowhere, she collapses on the ground, screaming from pain
  23. >it's that thing in the man's hand, looks like it works now
  24.  
  25.  
  26.  
  27. >he stops, still pushing the button, releasing always only when talking
  28. >“You like it?! Huh?! I'm gonna make you pay!“
  29. >you stand up and get close to him
  30. „Hey! Stop it. You're torturing the poor thing.“
  31. >“Yeah, I can see that and i'm enjoying every last bit of it. The unobedient bitch deserves it.“
  32. >when people discovered this new specie called simply „ponies“, thanks to their peaceful and submissive nature, they started to use them as slaves for richer families
  33. >helping with house, hard work, things like that. But of course it's known, though not entirely socialy accepted, that there are also cases of people owning ponies for „different“ things
  34. „I don't know what she did, but that's enough. This is no punishment. You'll kill her!“
  35. >“She can take it, just watch.“
  36. „No! Just cut it out, I'm not gonna watch you doing that!“
  37. >now it looks like you rustled his jimmies. He stops and turns at you
  38. >“If you don't like it, then just fucking turn around and go wherever you came from. This is personal bussines. I can do whatever the fuck I like with my property.“
  39. >he pushes the button again
  40. >at this point, you had enough, so you grab the thing from his hands, smash it on the ground and stomp it with your boot
  41. >the flow of electricity from the collar stops, but she still lays on the ground, unable to stand up
  42. >“You have made a huge mistake buddy. Huge, huge mistake.“ says the guy with visible anger and delivers a punch to your face
  43.  
  44.  
  45.  
  46. >it hurts like hell, you almost fell to the ground and blood is dripping from your torn brow
  47. >“I told you to stop bothering me, but you just had to interfere. Now you gonna pay as well.“
  48. >guy seems to be pretty choleric
  49. >after two or three seconds of the his talking about how exactly you fucked up and how studid your decision was, the shock is gone and there's something else replacing the pain
  50. >your heart races and adrenaline flows like you're about to explode. What the fuck is this guy thinking? That he owns the damn world? That he can hurt or kill anyone he wants without consequences?
  51. >all this anger gives you strenght to do something you haven't done in a long time
  52. >you turn around quickly and without any response, you punch him back with all your might, just in the middle of his sentence
  53. >you're no fighter, but this was enough to stagger him for few short seconds
  54. >this is such a fucked up situation, you either beat him to unconsciousness, or he'll rip you apart when he'll recover
  55. >“You...“
  56. >you have no choice but to to keep beating him, until he drops down
  57. >so you punch him again, this time to the side of his head
  58. >and again
  59. >and again
  60. >after few more consecutive punches, he's laying on the ground
  61. >Jesus fucking Christ, did you just fucking kill him?
  62. >you reach your bloodied hand to check his pulse, he's alive, only unconcious
  63. >phew
  64. >now, to the pony
  65. >she's still laying there, shaking
  66. >you come closer and notice her wings are tied together and her feathers clipped
  67. >you place your hand on her shoulder
  68. >she finches, turns her head at you and gives you the most terrified gaze, anyone ever gave you
  69. >she tries to say something, but it's hard to tell what
  70. „Calm down. Ok? Just calm down. Shhhh.“
  71. >it's hard for you to look calming, because your hands are visibly shaking like an old man's
  72. >you haven't been in a fight like this in years
  73. >after some time spent trying to cradle her into calmness, you can understand what was she trying to say
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77. >“G-go away human. Pl-please, leave me be.“
  78. >her voice is strange, it feels like it „crackles“ now and then
  79. >but for God's sake, couldn't she at least show some gratitude?
  80. „Look, I just almost killed the guy to save you. So you should tell me what the hell is going on.“
  81. >“I-...“
  82. „Go on?“
  83. >“I bit him.“
  84. „Bit?“
  85. >“He forced me to stick it my mouth and I bit him.“
  86. >oh
  87. >“W-we are proud specie, he won't tell me to do things like that for him.“ she continues, still shaking from the electric shock
  88. >looks like her will is stronger than her body
  89. >she's trying to stand up, but barely staying on her legs
  90. >“I need to go. Gotta get f-far away.“
  91. „Far away? They'll catch you anyway if they'll see you walking around.“
  92. >“Don't say things like that!“
  93. „I'm just stating the truth. If he really owns you, he has the owning documents and police will bring you back to him.“
  94. >“I ate them.“
  95. „You what??“
  96. >“I ate the documents before I ran away. I-I'm a free pony now. “
  97. >you facepalm
  98. „Jesus. That just means they will bring you back to the auction and sell you to someone else.“
  99. >“That isn't true! It can't be!“
  100. „Have you ever seen such a thing as „free pony“ around here?“
  101. >“That can' be true...You humans will never own me!“
  102. „Hey, calm down. It's not my fault. I don't like the way this goes either.“
  103. >she sniffs, as if about to cry, but too proud to show a tear
  104. >“I AM a free pony. I'd rather die than be a slave.“
  105. „Well, technicaly you're free. At least for now. I won't stop you. What's your name anyway?“
  106. >“Rainbow Dash.“
  107. „Huh, did he name you like this?“ turn around at the unconciouss guy
  108. >“No. That is MY name. My real name, which is the only one I will bear proudly.“
  109. „Ok, ok.“ you laugh „My name is Anon.“
  110. >you offer her a hand
  111. >she doesn't follow, but looks at you with strange look
  112. >“You're different from the others...And I didn't even thank you for what you did.“
  113.  
  114.  
  115.  
  116.  
  117. „Well, you're welcome I guess. I just did what I though is right.“
  118. >“But you're bleeding pretty bad.“
  119. „Nah, that's alright. At least i did my everyday good deed.“ you laugh painfully as it hurts like shit
  120. >then you place your hanky on the wound to stop it from bleeding
  121. „But i guess i should go now, I have a bus to catch.“
  122. >“W-wait hum-I mean Anon.“
  123. „Yes?“
  124. >“I...I uhm wanted ask.“ it's visible she's forcing herself to say it: „If i could stay a night or two...and do the housework in return.“
  125. >that's pretty much the last thing you would expect her to ask, after what she was saying before
  126. >it's basically what would a normal slave do in the typical rich family: do the housework for living
  127. „Really? Though it's demeaning for you to work for humans.“
  128. >“I'm not lazy to work. There's just a difference between work and slavery.“
  129. „Sometimes.“ you chuckle. „You should see how it goes in some manufactures. Anyway, I can do housework by myself. I don't have a big house.“
  130. >“But there must be something I can do...Except „that“ one thing. I won't do that with humans.“
  131. „I can't think of anything right now.“ you raise your shoulders. „I'm just used to living alone.“
  132. >...
  133. „Look, but if you promise to behave, i'll let you stay a few nights. And you'll help me with stuff sometimes.“
  134. >“What stuff?“ she's asking suspiciously
  135. „Not the stuff you mean. I just can't think of anything I need help with right now, so by „stuff“ I mean situational things. Like washing dishes and shit like that.“
  136. >“Great! I can help you with all sorts of things...But don't expect me to call you „master“. I won't do that.“
  137.  
  138.  
  139.  
  140. „Sure.“ you laugh „But first, there are two things I probably should do. Lemme get these things off you.“
  141. >you reach for the rope over her wings, which is pretty easy to untie
  142. >then the collar
  143. „Hey, this thing is tricky. I can't get it off right now. I'll need some tools for that.“
  144. >“Well, thanks for least taking those ropes away.“
  145. „No problem. Now, for that ring of his.“
  146. >“Ring?“
  147. „Yes. You don't know? It's also part of the contract, just like the documents. All the slave owners have one. That's how you recognize them. You'd seriously leave and wouldn't even take it?“
  148. >“I didn't know that.“
  149. „Well, now you do. Also, i'm gonna take it, because the fucker torn my eyebrow with that thing.“
  150. >“But if you'll keep it even after i'm gone, what's gonna happen?“
  151. „Don't know. You can keep it when you'll go, but it probably won't help. They'll think you stole it.“
  152. >you come closer to her ex owner and take the bloodied ring
  153. >it's silver-like, a bit robust, but not too much to hinder on your finger
  154. >you clean it with a hanky
  155. >there's a number imprinted on it, saying: „No. 483“
  156. „Is this like your serial number?“
  157. >“I'm not a machine to have a serial number...“
  158. „Sadly, you do have one. Look.“ you show it to her
  159. >when she sees it, it's kinda like something broke inside of her
  160. >“Come to think,..if there really is so many others of my kind around...How..? How could they do this to us?! Enslave so many. Like a damn animals. Do you humans not have any mercy? No compassion?!“
  161. >she's almost crying, but as before, she's holding it good. She would never cry in front of a human
  162. >you've never seen anything so pitiful before, still almost patheticaly trying to remain tall and proud
  163. >almost makes you feel bad for being a human for a while
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167. „Look, um Rainbow, I know you must feel horrible right now. But...“
  168. >“What?!“
  169. „I have no part in this, remember? I just freed you.“
  170. >“But I-i,..Y-...you're right. I'm sorry. I just feel so angry and miserable right now.“
  171. >her eyes are watery, but she still isn't crying
  172. „I know. But we should go, before someone finds us. And we have to catch that bus.“
  173. >“R-right. You lead the way.“
  174. >you nod and stand up
  175. >she follows you trough the empty streets to the lonely bus station nearby
  176. >you still feel pretty tense, your hands are not shaking anymore, but you still aren't completely alright
  177. >along the way, you walk past the general store
  178. >gives you an idea
  179. „Wait here in the shadow, I'll be right back.“
  180. >“Wait, where are you going?“
  181. „To that building over there. Just a few seconds.“
  182. >you don't really give her choice, because you just run inside
  183. >after not even a minute you're back with a two glass bottles
  184. >you open both of them with your new ring
  185. „Here. It'll help you relax.“ you offer it to her
  186. >“You bought it for me? And what is it?“
  187. „Nothing special, just beer, but it's something.“
  188. >“And you say it helps to relax?“
  189. >you nod and take a sip from your bottle
  190. >she takes one from hers to taste it
  191. >“It's bitter...“
  192. >but after few seconds of thinking, she gulps it down whole and makes a disgusted face at the end, followed by a burp
  193. >you don't question her motives, just accept it. You partly understand anyway
  194. „Cheers.“
  195. >“Hmpf. Thanks.“
  196.  
  197.  
  198.  
  199.  
  200. >you continue on your road with your beer in right hand
  201. >you prefer to enjoy the bitterness sip by sip, especialy in situations like this
  202. >helps to calm down
  203. >you purposely arrive shortly before the bus actualy stops there, so you don't have to wait too long
  204. >while entering, you have your scarf over most of your face and are avoiding to look in driver's eyes
  205. >it would be better if nobody remebered you from this night, if you could be just another nameless person, walking trough shadows
  206. >but not all things can always be avoided
  207. >he would be blind if he wouldn't notice a skyblue pony with colorful mane and shock collar around her pretty neck
  208. >at least he couldn't connect your face with her if somebody ever asked him. He saw only the scarf
  209. >walking past him, there are three people sitting in the bus
  210. >an old lady with an old man, most likely her husband. Probably coming from a cinema or something because they still have some popcorn
  211. >they look happy together, reminding you of something you never really had
  212. >there's also some drunk guy who barely noticed you, or the pony
  213. >there were nights you ended up the same, you couldn't possibly judge him
  214. >you make your way to the back of the bus, so their company will be as far away from you as possible
  215. >although they all seem pretty harmless, you wouldn't want anyone around anyway
  216. >there, you sit on one of the chairs and silently wait
  217. >Dash is sitting next to you and stares in front of her with uncertain look
  218. >at first, you wanted to help her out because of your regular solidarity. Something you'd normaly do – even for an angry and maybe a bit ungrateful pony
  219. >but after the moment you showed her the number, you could understand her good enough to emphatize
  220. >something about her makes you feel so sad, it's the hopelessness in her eyes, followed by her proud posture, even while holding back tears
  221. >you kinda respect that
  222.  
  223.  
  224.  
  225.  
  226.  
  227. „Are you alright? How you holding up?“ you whisper
  228. >“The beer thing you gave me, did it help you relax?“
  229. „Sort of.“
  230. >“I just keep getting stuck on thougts.“
  231. „Then find a good one and stick on it.“
  232. >“What's a good though in these times?“
  233. „You're a pegasus. Think about flying.“
  234. >“I can't remember the joy of flying anymore...“
  235. „Yes you can. Close your eyes.“
  236. >she does that, even though she looks a bit worried what is gonna happen next
  237. >you're not sure what exactly are you doing right now, but hope for the best
  238. >it worked when you tried it in your mind
  239. >you start narrating a scenery, very queitly and slowly whispering, to give her the time to imagine
  240. „One day, when your feathers grow back, you'll be strong and healthy again. Like the very earth itself. Imagine the land, so small under the few flaps of your wings. The blinding sun, so beautiful, like an eye of the God, caressing you with warm and loving embrace. Neverending seas of green trees with leaves, rustilng in the soft wind. Do you see it? Can you remember?“
  241. >you're basically cooking from water, but for the first time, a very faint smile appears on her face
  242. >“I do.“
  243. >for the rest of bus ride, you continue on narrating the scenery to the smallest details
  244. >you wish all of that could be true, but if she's actualy gonna leave, it's obvious she's gonna end up in hands of another human
  245. >and you'll be just a memory, just like she will once be yours
  246. >is that how it's gonna end?
  247. >it's a shame, seeing such a strong spirit being crushed, over and over again
  248. >will she evetualy subdue, or ends up taking her own life?
  249. >from the few minutes you know her, you're already sure that she'd rather choose the second option
  250. >you stop narrating when you realize you're in the place where you're supposed to leave the bus
  251. „Hey, we're here. Let's go.“
  252. >she opens her eyes and the smile vanishes as she sees the reality once again
  253. >“Alright...“
  254.  
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. >out of the bus, you notice she's shivering
  259. >for few seconds you wonder, but then you decide to borrow her your jacket
  260. „Take this. You're cold. And it'll fit.“
  261. >“No I'm not cold. I just need to move and I'll get warm again.“
  262. „Take the jacket. This isn't a question. It's almost -11 celsius.“ you basically order her
  263. >she looks kinda surprised, but takes the jacket without any further protest
  264. >from here, it's not even a kilometer to your home, but still long enough for you to feel a difference
  265. >but you aren't nearly that cold she must be if she didn't have at least the jacket
  266. >you walk silently, avoiding as much light as possible. Don't want to draw any kind of attention
  267. „This is it.“ you point at your house as you're closing by
  268. >the key in a lock turns and the door open, revealing the dark rooms of your home
  269. >first thing you do is switch on the lights, so you can see while untying your boots
  270. „You should wash your hooves first. It's messy out there.“ you give her a floorcloth
  271. >“Sure.“
  272. >when she's done, you continue to your living/dining room
  273. >there, you close all the curtains so no one can see inside
  274. „You can sleep on the couch, sheets and pillows are stored inside. But come to think of it, you should take a shower as well. How long is it since your last bath?“
  275. >“Two weeks.“
  276. „Well, you should definitely take a shower. It's those doors over there. I'll go second. Towels are in the cabinet, right next to the entrance.“
  277. >she doesn't say a word, just tiredly goes the way you sent her
  278.  
  279.  
  280.  
  281. >in the meanwhile, you check on your fridge
  282. >few joghurts you've been saving for later, some cheese, butter, 4 bottles of beer, blueberry marmelade, mustard, ketchup, eggs, few slices of ham and some fruit and vegetables
  283. >come to think of it, you're not even really hungry
  284. >but you bet she is
  285. >you slice some bread, put it in toaster, then put some butter and marmelade on it
  286. >leaving it on the table, along with two appless and glass of water, you grab another bottle of beer from the fridge and sit in your favourite chair
  287. >with your eyes closed and beer opened, you patienly wait till she's finished showering
  288. >when you're at half of the bottle, you hear the bathroom door finally open
  289. >eyes still closed, you murmur
  290. „Check the table. Eat up.“
  291. >“Is this for?..Thanks Anon.„
  292. >you can hear her biting a mouthful of apple
  293. >“ You know...You really aren't that bad.“
  294. >you open only your right eye, leaving the left one still closed and make something between smile and grin
  295. „I guess.“
  296. >“But you could stop ordering around. Why is it so typical for humans to give orders all the time?“
  297. „I'm just too tired to be questioned. Wait for tommorow...“
  298.  
  299.  
  300.  
  301. >after finishing the bottle, you stand up so you can take a shower as well
  302. „When you're done, just put it in the sink. I'll clean it later.“ you announce, heading to bathroom
  303. >you turn the water heat to the almost maximum
  304. >some really hot shower after the cold day
  305. >after you're done, you brush your teeth and go to sleep
  306. >she's already sleeping around the time you walk trough the living room
  307. >when you finally get to bed, you still have to think
  308. >what's gonna happen next? You stupid just literally stole a pony
  309. >not like you'd think that you did something bad, the guy didn't look like a nice person to own a pony
  310. >but it could make you problems
  311. >on the other hand, not taking her with you would lay on your mind even heavier
  312. >what were you supposed to do? You couldn't just turn around and leave her there
  313. >though, what does it help if they just catch her week or two later anyway?
  314. >that's a stupid question, that week of freedom would probably mean to her more than you could imagine
  315. >If only it was at least pure freedom, without having to worry about being caught
  316. >that would make her happy
  317. >anyway, since you can't just throw her out now, because it would be against your perception of what is right, then what next?
  318. >you could basically officialy claim that she's your slave, in case someone catches her
  319. >documents don't exist and the ring is in your property now
  320. >but she wouldn't agree. For her, it would just mean she's slave a again
  321. >but one never knows, we'll see how it ends
  322. >it's too early for assumptions
  323. >now it's time to sleep, you can think later…
  324.  
  325.  
  326.  
  327. >the sun shines trough the window, causing you to wake up
  328. >but it lasts only for a few seconds, before the clouds hide it again
  329. „Fucking hell.“
  330. >with a loud yawn, you stand up and continue to your bathroom, almost forgetting Dash is on the couch in the living room
  331. >you're standing there, staring at her for a while before remembering about yesterday, and why your brow is torn
  332. >maybe you should get some clothes on you at least. You're just in your underwear and tshirt
  333. >but maybe you don't give a damn
  334. >it's your own house after all, you could walk around naked if you wanted to
  335. >at least you still have more clothing than she has
  336. >you do some morning hygiene, and now it's time for breakfast
  337. >what's it gonna be?
  338. >in the sink, there's the plate from yesterday and two apple cores in the trash
  339. >still half full glass of water is standing on the table next to the couch Dash is sleeping on
  340. >she lets out a little snore sound just when you look at her
  341. >makes you chuckle a bit, she looks like a big puppy right now
  342. >your stomach gurgles, interrupting you from your thoughts
  343. >need to eat something, something warm
  344. >you crack open few eggs and slice the rest of the bread
  345. >bread in egg it is for today
  346. >the sound of oil crackling wakes your sleepy companion up
  347. >first it's just a flinch of her ear, then she smells the food being prepared
  348. >at the first opening of her eyes, she yanks from confusion
  349. >almost immediately, in the „ready to run/kick something“ stance
  350. „What the hell?“ you mutter to yourself, not giving her that much attention
  351. >then she notices you, making the breakfast
  352. >„Oh.“ she exhales out
  353. „'Mornin. Slept well?“
  354. >“I guess...Good morning.“

  359. >gulping the rest of the water she readied by the couch, she comes closer to see what you're preparing
  360. >her mouth waters from the sight of the food and you can hear her gulping down the saliva
  361. >but she doesn't say anything
  362. >you put three fried slices of bread in egg on a plate, which you slide closer to her
  363. „Here. Mustard and ketchup and the rest is on the table already.“
  364. >she gives you bit confused look
  365. >“I though you wanted me to do housework for letting me sleep here. Like making breakfast and stuff.“
  366. „I already said I can manage by myself. I never needed any help, but you do.“
  367. >“So you're saying that you're doing all of this just like that? What do you really want? Are you planning something?“
  368. „Pfft, Jesus.“ you don't bother to answer, because you'd just have to repeat yourself
  369. >but she's still looking at you, awaiting you to say something
  370. >you put down the wooden spoon and turn your vision at the pony
  371. „Look, you needed help. Was I supposed to just leave you there?“
  372. >“Well, you're not the first human to pretend he's all good and caring about others. Humans are cruel mindplayers. That's how I ended up being a slave in the first place.“ she says in arrogant-suspicious tone
  373. >normally, if someone talked to you this way, you'd probably get angry, but this is a bit different
  374. >although, she still rustles your jimmies a bit. But not enough for you to actualy flip, so you answer calmly:
  375. „You should have seen yourself yesterday night. Alone and weak. I took you with me, because otherwise I'd feel guilty, leaving you there to get caught again. Or freeze to death overnight. I could see behind that brave pose of yours. Strong, fearless...sarcastic. But not even that deep inside, you were so desperate.“
  376.  
  377.  
  378.  
  379. >what you said leaves her kinda shocked
  380. >first you see the anger in her expression, then sadness
  381. >maybe you overdid it, but all you did was say the truth
  382. >“You haven't been trough things I was. You have no idea...“
  383. >a moment of silence, just the sounds of oil on the hot frying pan
  384. „True I haven't...I also never said that I'm judging you. I'm just telling you why I'm helping.“
  385. >saying that, makes her expression change, while reasurring herself again
  386. >“So...you're really doing this just because you'd care about random pony's messed up life? No side intentions?“
  387. „Basically. Not all humans are bad to the bone you know.“
  388. >with a grin you add: „Some just on the outside layer.“
  389. „Anyway, you weren't so suspicious about me yesterday.“
  390. >“That was because I was weak. You were right, I wasn't really strong, I was just desperate. Clinging on any kind of hope I could get...Though, it didn't get me in even worse trouble this time. Hopefuly.“
  391. „As always? Did anything like that happened before?“
  392. >“I don't wanna talk about it...Sorry Anon. I ain't gonna just spill my feelings to someone I barely know...“
  393. „Okay then. You already said enough for a conlusion anyway. It's because someone promised you better life, but you ended up like this, right?“
  394. >she looks at you seriously. As she talks, you can see the anger building up inside of her. But as if combined with sorrow. None of it pointed at you though
  395. >“It's not that simple...I would never think someone could possibly be so rotten inside to do such a thing just like that. He even smiled like nothing is happening, as they dragged me away!“
  396. >as she calms again in upcoming few seconds, she continues with a bitter grin
  397. >“You really know how to get anwers out of someone. Always strumming on the right strings...You humans are good at these things, are you?“
  398.  
  399.  
  400.  
  401.  
  402.  
  403.  
  404. „No...You're just bad at not telling.“ you laugh
  405. „But seriously. I've been trough some shit as well. Not as hard as you, but I know all these scenarios. You give your trust, your secrets to someone, one day realizing you made a terrible mistake. That happens once, twice, maybe even thrice. So next time you want to keep it all to yourself, because it makes you feel too fragile when you don't.“
  406. >“Well, but your mistakes didn't get you into literal slavery.“ she grins
  407. >“You know, part of me wants to beleive you right in an instant. It would be nice to see a decent human being, but it's hard to really beleive in such things after what I've met.“
  408. „Well, if you want to, you're free to go. I already said I'm not holding you. No side intentions. But you should eat some breakfast at least.“ you bring the plate even closer
  409. >she looks trough the window, seeing it's snowing pretty bad outside
  410. >“I kinda think I'll stay a bit longer...“ she takes the plate and continues with it to the table
  411. >you hear a loud sigh
  412. >“Well, considering you're still letting me...I guess I'm not being very nice, am I?“
  413. „Sort of.“
  414. >few moments of silence, just you, frying the rest of the bread and her, sitting on the chair and staring at the table with a scrunch on her muzzle
  415. >“I-...Y'know, I still remember what you said in that bus. And I um, just want you to know I...I appreciate it. It really did help.“
  416. „Glad to know.“ you smirk
  417. >“You really did quite a lot for me, but so far I weren't really giving you any reasons to keep helping. To be honest, I'm kinda surprised you're not even a little bit angry at me.“
  418. „Heh, maybe I was few times.. But anger is not the solution to anything.“
  419. >“I guess…I'll at least do the houserwork as I promised. Just tell me things you need done and I'll do it. I'm no freeloader.“
  420. „I can't think of anything right now, maybe later. Now you should finally eat something.“
  421.  
  422.  
  423.  
  424.  
  425.  
  426. >she hasn't eaten a bit so far
  427. >at this time you're done with frying, so you continue to the table
  428. >putting some mustard and ketchup on your bread and placing a slice of ham over it, you watch as she silently copies you
  429. >“What's this thing?“
  430. „Ham.“
  431. >“Ham?“
  432. „...It's made of meat.“
  433. >she almost flips, putting the slice away like a vampire touching a garlic
  434. >“Meat?! Eating meat is so barbaric, you know...“
  435. >you take a bite and smile smugly
  436. >“How can you eat that? It used to be alive.“
  437. „It's just the way it is.“
  438. >“It's gross. AND hypocratic.“
  439. „How is it hypocratic?“
  440. >“You have enough compassion to help me, but don't care about the thing that ended up in that ham of yours?“
  441. „I can't change the fact it's already dead. But i can make difference when you're still alive.“
  442. >“It's still wrong...No matter how you excuse it, when you don't necessarily need it.“
  443. >you chew slowly, looking at her upset pout
  444. „Ok then, you won.“ you say, throwing the rest of the ham into the trashbin, after few seconds of her watching you chew with that judgemental look
  445. „Happy?“
  446. >“Well, you already paid for it. Eating it doesn't change that much, if you gonna buy it again.“
  447. „You're hard to please, you know that?“ you gotta smile, it feels so tragi-comic
  448. >“You're not doing it for me. You should be doing it for yourself you know. For a good conciousness when you go to sleep?“
  449. „Whatever.“ you replace the ham with a slice of eidam
  450. „You don't mind diary, do you?“
  451. >“You don't have to kill for it. And considering I'm eating this,“ she points at her bread in egg with cheese „guess these are not as bad as meat...“
  452. „Uhh, what do you even normaly eat?“
  453. >“Fruit, veggies, normal stuff. And humans should too, you don't need to kill even when you need to eat.“
  454.  
  455.  
  456.  
  457. „Humans need to eat meat at least sometimes. To stay strong.“
  458. >“That's total nonsense. He didn't have to, either.“
  459. >she puts her hoof over her mouth, as if she said something she regrets
  460. >“Anyway,*cough* the point is, that you don't need it. The end.“
  461. „Ok, we should change the topic...But what to start with? You don't even want to talk about your past, I know nothing about you.“
  462. >“Maybe it's better that way...But you could tell me something about humans from the view of another human.“
  463. „Thought you know us good enough to make your own opinions.“ you grin sarcasticaly
  464. >she doesn't like when someone points out her mistakes, you can see that
  465. >“Well, it never hurts to know more, eh?“
  466. „Fair enough. But i'm not really gonna be changing your view anyway with what I have to say. People are consumers and sheeps. They just accept anything that flow gives them. Even slavery of other kind, as you see. There are always few rebels, who don't go with the flow of consuming, but not that many. And they never matter enough to change anything. The succesful ones in society just take advantage of others most of the time. Society is fucked from the inside here.“
  467. >“That was...ice cold. Considering you're a human as well. It almost sounds you um...don't like it?“
  468. „Heh, sometimes maybe. I even felt pretty ashamed for being a human, just yesterday. But really, it just makes me sad, watching human kind falling so low.“
  469. >“Well, if people are really sheeps, you'd have to be a black one with that attitude.“ she laughs
  470. „I'll take it as a compliment.“
  471. >“You should. But there still are some things you could improve on yourself.“
  472. „So you're my „master“ now? Is there something else i might do?“ you laugh
  473. >“Don't be silly, I abhor the whole concept of slavery, you know?“
  474. „I was just joking.“
  475. >“Oh.“
  476.  
  477.  
  478. „Anyway, I've got some work to do.“ you put the empty dish away and move to your computer
  479. >there, you open browser and start surfing net
  480. >“This is your work?“
  481. „No...“
  482. >“Then why would you even say you got work to do?“
  483. „Jeez, why you keep asking about things?“
  484. >“Because you're talking nonsense...What's this about?“ she takes the closest chair she can find and puts it next to yours, so she can see the monitor as well
  485. „It's called internet.“
  486. >“And this is what you do all day?“
  487. >you just sigh instead of answering
  488. >“Is your life really so boring?“
  489. „Yeah, I guess so.“
  490. >“You know,..that's actualy pretty sad… Don't you have some better things to do?“
  491. „Look, I didn't take you with me to hear you criticizing my life. I know it sucks. If you're so good at quality time spending, tell me what you'd do.“
  492. >“Well,..If I had my wings intact and it wasn't so cold outside, I'd go flying.“
  493. „That doesn't count for several obvious reasons. Next?“
  494. >“I don't know. It's hard when it's such a stupid weather outside.“
  495. „See? There you have it.“
  496. >“But come on, there must be something better than this.“
  497. „Then tell me. I'd gladly accept some magical change that turns my life upside down.“
  498. >“Ummm….It's cold outside...“
  499. „Yeah, and?“
  500. >“...But not too much for a little stroll.“
  501. „You'd seriously go out to that shitty weather?“
  502. >“Still better than sitting on your butt all day.“
  503. >you just smirk and continue browsing
  504. >“Come on!“
  505. „If you want to go outside so bad, why don't you go?“
  506. >“Because I can't be seen by myself without a human. You're acting like you weren't the one pointing that out yesterday.“
  507. „Gah, fine. Be it then.“ you stand up from your PC and go get some clothes
  508.  
  509.  
  510.  
  511. >she comes closer
  512. >“I was wondering...Maybe if you had a spare jacket or something like yesterday? Winters in your world are a lot colder than equestrian ones.“
  513. >you hand her one, along with a scarf, without saying anything
  514. >when she's putting it on, you add:
  515. „That's pretty much all human clothing a pony can fit in as well. Your head and ass is too big.“
  516. >“Hey!“
  517. „Don't act like it's not true.“
  518. >“I'm not fat!“
  519. „I didn't say that. I said it's too big for human clothing.“
  520. >“...right. It's just the way you said it.“
  521. „Come on, I'm just playing with you.“ you chuckle
  522. >she gives you this half smile, half angry expression as if she wasn't sure which one to pick and it makes you chuckle even more
  523. >when you finally open the door, you feel that it's not as cold as it was yesterday
  524. >mostly because it isn't late night, obviously
  525. >there isn't a lot of people in your part of city most of the time, especialy early morning, so you're not worrying about being suspicious or something
  526. >you can just say you bought her cheaply if someone asks
  527. >walking silently down the street, you're slowly making your way trough the city
  528. >“Where are we going?“
  529. „I don't know. Just walking.“
  530. >“Well, you gotta have some sort of direction or plan, no?“
  531. „We are walking a circle which takes us back to my house, but from other direction. Happy?“
  532. >“I guess. Is it long?“
  533. „Why? About normal.“
  534. >“I don't know what normal means, according to you. I like long walks. Especialy when I don't have to worry about being catched, for now. This place sucks though. Are all human cities like this?“
  535. „Maybe even worse.“
  536. >“Phew. Where's the nature?“
  537. „Far away.“
  538. >“I see that.“
  539. „Then why are you asking?“
  540. >“I was asking just rhetorically. Not expecting the answer.“
  541. „Well, there you have it.“
  542. >for few minutes, there's silence
  543. >but only few
  544.  
  545.  
  546.  
  547.  
  548. >“How can you live like that?“ she breaks it
  549. „With very, very miserable mood. Everyday...You talk a lot.“
  550. >“Well excuse me. Imagine you have no one to talk to for a whole year.“
  551. „...I don't really talk a lot even without being held, so i can imagine.“
  552. >“You need some help in your life Anon.“
  553. „And you're the one to provide it?“ you snicker
  554. >“No, just a little inspiration. I'll be gone soon.“
  555. „Yeah, and what'll you do?“
  556. >“Run somewhere far away from your civilization. It's insane here.“
  557. „Good luck with that. I wish I'd do the same one day, but i'm not feeling suicidal enough.“
  558. >“You're saying you can't live without it?“
  559. „We're all dependant on society. Even if we hate it. I need food and electricity.“
  560. >“Bah. There's always a way.“
  561. „But not always an easy one.“
  562. >“Then stop being lazy.“
  563. „Hell, this whole conversation. What are you, a motivational speaker?“
  564. >“No...Not really. Never been good at motivation.“
  565. „I can see that because it's not working. You got pretty different from that sad, broken soul you were yesterday.“
  566. >“Can't stay always miserable.“
  567. „You were a lot more pleasant that way.“
  568. >“….You really mean it like that?“ she says a more quiet, sadder way
  569. >is she trying you or did it really just hit her like that?
  570. >oh man it's painful to look at that sad face of hers, no matter which option
  571. „...Nah, sorry I overdid it.“
  572. >“It's alright...“
  573. >funny, you still can't tell what she's like deep inside
  574. >or what exactly she feels
  575. >but for some reason she looks like she craves/hates your attention
  576. >seems pretty damaged
  577. >and you're not a good fixer, so she should probably find someone else
  578. >but somehow you doubt there would be anyone else willing
  579. >hell, even you never said that you ARE
  580. >this just is where your sense of justice got you
  581. >and you have to deal with it
  582.  
  583.  
  584.  
  585. „...What was it like in Equestria? Was it a great place to live?“ you ask
  586. >“Oh you wouldn't beleive! It was the most awesome place ever. I wish i could go back...“
  587. „And what exactly happened?“
  588. >“You mean, before they took so many of us and then left?“
  589. „Probably. Nobody really knows how and why did you ponies get into our world. Except for the rich ones who financed it.“
  590. >“I'm not gonna tell you the painful details, but I can tell you. Basicaly, there was a portal, opened for a limited time. Enough for you, humans, to kidnap hundreds of our kind, as it seems. Then our princess probably managed to close it. But it was too late anyway.“
  591. >there's a desperation in her voice and anger as well
  592. >must have brought her some flashbacks
  593. „Well, at least it's closed and the rest of your world is safe, eh?“
  594. >“The only comforting thing about it...But before yesterday, I thought the number would be a lot smaller. That they only took few...“ she almost whimpers
  595. „At least it isn't even bigger...Hopefuly. You don't see a pony in every human family, that says something. You're still pretty rare.“
  596. >“Yeah, hopefully. I couldn't bear, knowing there's even more, living in slavery.“
  597. „You're pretty patriotic, eh?“
  598. >“I should be loyal to my kind. And I should be the one to save them, but I'm just running instead. I'm,..I'm worthless.“
  599. „Come on, it's not your fault. Chin up.“
  600. >“And what if it is?? Then what?“
  601. „What do you mean?“
  602. >“Nothing, forget it...This weather sucks. I wish I could fly and move those stupid clouds away so I could see the sun.“
  603. „Yeah that would be nice if it was so easy.“
  604. >“It would be easy if I had my feathers intact.“
  605. „What are you talking about? You can't just control the weather.“
  606. >“Yes I can. I used to be a weather mare. The best one even.“
  607. „Weather mare? That sounds funny.“
  608.  
  609.  
  610.  
  611.  
  612. >“Hey, this is no joke. It was my life. I could fly so fast, the sky would explode in the explosion of colours.“
  613. „Seriously, what drugs are you on?“ you laugh
  614. >“Why am I even trying, it's like talking to a rock. But some rocks at least listen, unlike you.“
  615. „Ok, ok I'm sorry. Guess your world was a lot more um...magical than this one.“
  616. >“Ya bet.“ sme smirks sadly „This one is just one big machine.“
  617. „That sums it up pretty well.“
  618. >“You know, if humans didn't do this to us, maybe I'd even pity you.“
  619. „Ok, I get it you don't like us. You don't have to repeat it constanly.“
  620. >“But I mean it with the pity. It must suck for you to live here.“
  621. „...You know it.“ you grin again, this time only faintly as it hurts as well
  622. >then there's another time of silence, which gives you some time to think
  623. >now that you recapitulate, you actualy realize that you maybe even enjoyed this conversation
  624. >it's funny, but you kinda wish she would say something so you could argue again
  625. >but right now, she looks buried in thoughts as well
  626. >wonder what she's thinking about
  627. >most likely something that one of you just brought up
  628. >maybe the number on the ring again?
  629. >or the collar?
  630. >oh right
  631. >she still has the thing around her neck
  632. „...Sorry i forgot about the collar.“
  633. >“Huh?“
  634. „I'll put it off you, once we get home.“
  635. >“Oh,.. yeah. Thanks.“
  636. >...
  637. >“...If I were to go outside, I'll have to wear it again, right?“
  638. „Well, it would be suspicious if you didn't.“
  639. >she just sighs
  640. >“...I hate this. It reminds me of the real happening around me. Every time I can feel it around my neck. It stings.“
  641. „I can get you some more comfortable one if it helps.“
  642. >“I don't think so.“ she smiles bitterly „This doesn't hurt my body, but my soul...But thanks for the effort.“
  643. >…
  644. >…
  645.  
  646.  
  647.  
  648.  
  649. >…
  650. >“What's this big ugly house for?“
  651. >she's pointing at the old warehouse, few blocks away
  652. >is she really interested in what is this shitty building for, or is she trying to start a conversation?
  653. „They used to store some stuff from factories inside. But not anymore.“
  654. >“How come?“
  655. „They made a bigger one, an uglier one.“ you smirk
  656. >she can't help herself but to let out a little chuckle
  657. >“I guess it would be pointless to ask why, eh?“
  658. „Guess you're right. Anyway, it's abandoned now. Just standing there for some reason.“
  659. >“Have you ever been inside?“
  660. „Why? Do I look like an adventurous boyscout?“
  661. >“Certainly not adventurous enough. Let's take a look, come on.“
  662. >she instanly changes direction without asking about your opinion, relying you'll come with her
  663. >this could be a contest of will, which you'd win
  664. >but fuck it
  665. >you'll just tag along
  666. >it's not so bad, being outside after all
  667. >soon, you're standing at the rusty gates of the empty complex
  668. „So, this is it. A real shithole.“
  669. >“Why you have to be so vulgar so often?“
  670. „Humans are rude fuckers you know.“
  671. >“You just can't help yourself, can you?“
  672. >she enters though a hole in the fence
  673. >big enough for you as well, but you have to crouch pretty low, resulting in your knees getting wet from snowy slush
  674. „Goddammit.“
  675. >“Come on, slowpoke!“ she calls for you, already standing by the building
  676. >the main gate is shut, but there are some old ladders to the metal balconies that used to function as a spot for smokers
  677. >and a fire exit as well
  678. >but the point is, you can get trough this way inside
  679. >though you'll have to jump – the ladders are about two meters from the ground
  680. >she's already climbing up, so you're running to catch up
  681. „Hey! Wait!“
  682.  
  683.  
  684.  
  685.  
  686.  
  687. >she actualy stops in the middle of a climb, surprising
  688. >“Come on, slowpoke!“
  689. >so you start climbing up the ladder, but the position gives you a clean view on her rump and not only that
  690. >jesus christ, this feels weird and lewd
  691. >you face down so you don't have to look
  692. „You should wear something down there! Don't you have a little decency?“
  693. >“I am decent enough.“ she flicks her tail
  694. „Yeah, that's nice, but you're in a human world. Remember? We have some rules. Coming to think of it, if you should stay in my house, you gonna wear something.“
  695. >“What's wrong? Scared you might lose your mind over me?“ she laughs
  696. „Af if. Goddammit, you're a horse, remember? I'm not a zoophile.“
  697. >“Good thing I'm not into humans either.“
  698. „Damn ponies…Are they all stubborn like this?“ you mutter to yourself and continue climbing
  699. >up on the balcony, there's a door and a broken window
  700. >there are still some sharp shards inside
  701. „Carefull, I'll get rid of-“
  702. >in the middle of your sentence, she jumps trough it, missing the shards with her belly and legs by only few milimetres
  703. „Are you crazy?! You could have gut yourself! Don't you do that again, understand?“
  704. >“Why so protective?“ she grins
  705. „What kind of question is that? I already put so much effort into rescuing you and you'd throw it all away in one whim.“
  706. >“Don't worry. I got that. I'm not as clumsy as you'd think.“
  707. „I'd just appreciate if you weren't so reckless, alright?“
  708. >“Alright, I'll try.“ she snickers
  709. >you just sigh as you're removing the shards so you can continue trough as well
  710. >inside, it's just as you expected: mostly dark, almost empty, only some old stuff, maybe a bit smelly as well
  711. „See? It's nothing interesing here.“
  712. >“What are you talking about? It's perfect. Ugly, but exciting!“
  713. „Dunno what's so exciting about it, but oh well...“
  714. >she's already smashing trough some old door
  715.  
  716.  
  717.  
  718.  
  719.  
  720.  
  721. >then, kicking some old CRT computer screen that they left there
  722. >she's basically destroying everything she can lay a hoof on and laughs while doing it
  723. >not like there was much left to actualy destroy anyway
  724. >“Come on!“ she yells with a laugh „Don't be shy, you said it's abandoned.“
  725. „It is,.. but why destroy it? It's already pretty miserable.“ you raise your shoulders
  726. >“Becaaaaause...“ she's preparing to kick a fragmented wall
  727. >*Bang* and the sound of bricks falling down on the ground
  728. >“...Because it fun. Try it!“
  729. >man, how's she suddenly so happy?
  730. „Alright then...“
  731. >you find a window with most of glass still instact and not too high for you
  732. >first, you think about it a bit, then you raise your leg and smash trough
  733. >carefuly, just with your shoe, to not cut yourself
  734. >glass shatters and the shards shatter even more when they hit the ground
  735. >it feels… somehow liberating
  736. >like you can just do what you want and nobody is gonna bitch about it
  737. >you destroy the rest of the window with another kick
  738. >oh man, this is actualy fun!
  739. >you turn to Rainbow Dash, she's watching you with this expression of expectation about what you gonna say
  740. „You know,.. you're actualy right! It feels good.“
  741. >“See? I told you! You just let it all out.“
  742. >you grin as you pick up a brick and throw it against another CRT monitor
  743. >“That's what I'm talking about!“
  744. >she takes one as well and does the same with the same monitor
  745. >you spend some time destroying things and giggling all around the building, when she says in the heat of fun:
  746. >“This reminds me of when I was asked to destroy an old barn for my friend. Another friend of mine thought I'm doing it because I'm angry or something and was all: „Sit down, let's talk about it.“ By Celestia! Hahaha, what an egghead!“
  747. >then she frows and lowers her head sadly
  748. >„….But I miss her. I miss all of them so much.“
  749.  
  750.  
  751.  
  752. >few seconds of total silence
  753. >you feel like you should say something, but suddenly she jumps up and kicks a nearby window with all her might
  754. >“Dammit!“
  755. >sitting on the ground, she sobs quietly, but only once
  756. >then raises her head again, trying to fake a smile
  757. „Hey,..Dash...“ you're trying to sound as soothing as possible
  758. >but you notice a trail of blood escaping from her leg, interrupting you from whatever you were about to say
  759. „…For fuck's sake, you're bleeding!“
  760. >“What a lovely thing to sa-, Wait, what? No, I-...Oh, hay, I am...“
  761. >she tries to stand up so she can take a look from better angle, but the pain finally kicks in and she almost collapses back again
  762. >but you catch her
  763. „Oh no, I knew something bad is gonna happen.“
  764. >seeing the wound, it's mildly long but kinda deep
  765. >it'll definitely need some stitches
  766. >and there's quite a bit of blood
  767. >“It's just a- oww… scratch.“
  768. „Maybe a scratch, but a bad looking one. Don't try to play tough, this must hurt as shit.“
  769. >“It does, but I can take it you know?“
  770. >she tries to stand up again, only to fall back into your arms
  771. „Stop it, you need a doctor.“
  772. >“A doctor? No no no. I don't want no human doctor, you hear me? I am not going.“
  773. „Yes you fucking do and now cut this bullshit. This is no damn game.“ you say firmly
  774. >as you say it, her ears go flat and her eyes water a bit
  775. >just like when you shout at a child
  776. >“...okay.“ she squeals silently and obediently
  777. >…
  778. „Look, I'm sorry for the words, but this is serious. I'm gonna help you regardless you like it or not.“
  779. >you take your scarf and wrap it around the wound to stop the bleeding at least a bit
  780. >picking her up, you carry her to the balconies
  781. >she's silent all this time
  782. „Do you think you can climb that down?“
  783. >“...I'll try. I have to.“
  784. >you put her down as close to the ladder as you can
  785. „I'll go first and catch you if you slip.“
  786.  
  787.  
  788.  
  789. >using only three legs, she actualy manages to climb it down
  790. >but she has to jump the rest anyway, so you're there to catch her
  791. >“I don't feel too good about this...“
  792. „Me neither, but jump.“
  793. >“If only I had my wings intact.“ she laments and then lets go
  794. >you catch her in your arms, holding her like a bride
  795. >“Ow, my leg! That hurt.“
  796. „Sorry… We should go.“
  797. >“Where?“
  798. „To get some doctor of course. How's your head, are you feeling dizzy?“
  799. >“A bit dizzy...and sleepy.“
  800. „Then try to not pass out, alright?“ you scratch her mane, trying to calm her bit and yourself as well
  801. >she's not as heavy as a human, probably about 50 kilograms
  802. >but that's not light enough for you to carry her across the town
  803. >so, when back on the road, you call a first taxi you see
  804. >when the car stops, you open it's door, push her in and sit next to her
  805. „Get us to the hospital, quick!“
  806. >>“Hospital? With an animal?“ the driver turns around
  807. >“Hey, I'm no animal...“ she mumbles, trying to stay concious
  808. >>“They won't help you there with him, pal.“
  809. >“Who you callin „him“?“ her mumbling continues, but the driver either can't hear or understand what is she saying
  810. „...Then take me to the veterinary. But, godspeed.“
  811. >>“Sure...“
  812. >soon, he drops you off before the building you sometimes passed by, but never entered
  813. >picking the almost unconcious pony up, you bring her inside
  814. >in the waiting room, there's some old lady with her small dog that starts barking just as it see's you, but that's all
  815. „Sorry, this is urgency.“ you tell the old lady before almost kicking in the door into the surgery room because your hands are full
  816. >there's a veterinary doctor and his helping hurse, having a coffee
  817. >do they even know that there's this granny waiting?
  818. „Hello doc, sorry but this is urgent.“ you pant
  819. >both of them give you a surprised look
  820. >not sure if because of how you stormed in, or because of the rainbow colored creature in your arms
  821.  
  822.  
  823.  
  824.  
  825. >probably both
  826. >>“Uh,..alright, what happened?“ the doctor asks
  827. >he's bald, short, friendly looking old man with a white mustache and round head
  828. „She hurt her leg badly.“ you answer and put her on the table and start removing the scarf
  829. >at this point, she's just squinting with her eyes around room, not even mumbling anymore
  830. >now it's almost convenient for her to pass out, because she wouldn't have to feel the needle
  831. >but she won't, she's still concious
  832. >even though just barely
  833. >as the nurse pours disinfection at the wound, you can see her clenching her teeth
  834. „Hey, it's alright. I'm here, see?“ you're caressing her front hoof in your arms
  835. >>“I never had an animal like this here. Only saw once. What even happened?“
  836. >now knowing what to say, in panic you tell the truth
  837. „She kicked a window.“
  838. >>“A window? Why?“
  839. >come on, you have to lie now
  840. „By umm, accident of course. I brought her home just a few days ago and she has a hard time settling in.“
  841. >>“… I see. You want a registration here?“
  842. „No, that won't be needed.“
  843. >>“But I still should at least add her and yours name into the archives. What is her name?“
  844. >Jesus, should you tell the truth or try to fake it?
  845. >just like before, out of panic you tell the truth again
  846. >about both of you
  847. >dammit
  848. >>“So,.. Rainbow Dash... I can see why you named her like that. A cute name.“ he giggles and pats her head „It'll be alright girl, just a few stiches and you're good to go.“
  849. >she's giving him this look, like a mix of arrogance and fear
  850. „Can you give her something to stop the pain?“
  851. >>“Sure I can. But she'll pass out any moment anyway. She just needs to embrace it.“
  852. „I can guarantee you she won't.“
  853. >>“Okay then.“ he brings a syringe with a numbing effect „It'll just sting a little.“
  854. >“Don't...“ she mumbles incoherently
  855. >but it's too late anyway
  856. >did he even hear her?
  857. >>“Now for the stitches, little girl.“
  858.  
  859.  
  860.  
  861.  
  862. >wonder if the vet realizes she's about the same intelligent as a human
  863. >but he treats her like a child or an animal
  864. >and it's pissing her off
  865. >after few minutes he's done and you're about to pay for the service
  866. >he gave you a smaller price than you expected, that's good
  867. >but you don't have enough cash with you anyway
  868. >fuck
  869. „Excuse me, but… I don't have enough money here. I was in a rush when it happened. But if you could wait, I'll just stop by my home and bring it. I can leave you my ID card here as a proof that I'd come back.“
  870. >>“Well, I can understand that situation.“
  871. „So,.. is it ok?“
  872. >>“Of course.“ he smiles
  873. >and now you're leaving, carrying her just like before
  874. >there's a trash can nearby, so you reach to throw inside the bloodied scarf
  875. >but then you decide not to
  876. >don't know why, maybe it'll be of use someday
  877. >welp, time to call another taxi
  878. >you still have some coins and change, just not enough for the vet
  879. >and soon, you're home again
  880. >what a stroll
  881. >that's why you don't go out a lot
  882. >though it's still not ending for you, you decide to rest for at few tens of minutes
  883. >sitting on your couch just next to Rainbow Dash, you turn on the TV
  884. >such a long time since you last watched it
  885. >not like you've been missing something
  886. >“Uh...Anon...“ she mumbles slowly after some time she looked like sleeping
  887. „You sure are a troublemaker, you know that?“ you smile
  888. >“I feel...weird and I can't feel my leg.“
  889. „Of course. That's the numbing syringe. It stops the pain.“
  890. >“Why?“
  891. „What kind of question is that? You won't have to suffer.“
  892. >“But,.. why you keep doing all this for me?“
  893. „Honestly?“
  894. >“Honestly only.“
  895. „I don't really know. Maybe it's this feeling like I'm responsible for this. Maybe I just enjoy arguing with you.“
  896. >“That's stupid.“ she smiles
  897. „Yeah, I guess.“
  898. >“But hey, thanks,.. again.“
  899.  
  900.  
  901.  
  902. „No problem. Some adventure once in while doesn't hurt me that much. Only my wallet.“ you smirk
  903. >“Did it cost a lot?“
  904. „Let's say I can live without that money.“
  905. >“… Sorry. You were right.“
  906. „What do you mean?….You mean when you jumped trough that broken window?“
  907. >“Yeah...“ she closes her eyes again
  908. „Hmm…“
  909. >…
  910. >…
  911. >“I-I was wondering, how old are you even? Are you like adult or like still a… how are child horses called?“
  912. >she opens her left eye to look at you and grins
  913. >“You thought I'm still a foal?“
  914. „No, just-. I don't know almost anything about your specie so I can't tell. Sometimes you act so childish and sometimes so mature.“
  915. >“Well, I'm adult enough, I can assure you.“ she laughs gently „You too act childish sometimes, you know that?“
  916. „I guess everyone does… Hey, you'll manage here, right? I still have some business out there.“
  917. >“What kind of bussines?“
  918. „Well, about the money for the doctor. I didn't have enough cash, so I told him I'll bring it later… You don't remember me telling him about it?“
  919. >“Don't know.“
  920. „Anyway, I'll be back in a hour or less.“
  921. >“Alright then.“
  922. „Should I let the TV play?“
  923. >“I don't know. What's even up with this thing? I've seen few before, one of those asshole guards was constanly watching one. But what's it good for?“
  924. „Hah, what's with the words?“
  925. >“This one was deserved.“
  926. „Alright, anyway: You can watch films there, like a storybooks, except like um...real?“
  927. >“Storybooks about cleaning products and chocolate bars? What's the point?“
  928. „Nah, those are just commercials. You've never seen any film?“
  929. >“Only the ones about how you should buy some stuff. He was watching it all the time.“
  930. „Was he like nonstop watching just teleshopping?“
  931. >“If it means commercials all the time, then I guess yes.“
  932. „What a sad being.“ you snicker „Anyway, I can show you some real film to entertain you while I'm gone.“
  933.  
  934.  
  935.  
  936.  
  937.  
  938. >“Well, whatever.“
  939. >you bring your laptop and open the film folder
  940. >but what should you pick for her?
  941. „I guess you'd prefer something without humans eh?“
  942. >she gives you a smirk
  943. >so you search for something animated
  944. „Hey, I found something you might like. I think you'll like it.“
  945. >pic related
  946. >you press play and throw a blanket you brought along next to her on the couch
  947. >“What is it about?“
  948. „Don't wanna ruin it by telling you. You can turn it off with this button on the controler if you won't like it. Yeah and try to not walk. It may not hurt now, but it will.“
  949. >you stand up to get your jacket
  950. >she gives you a nod, turning her eyes on the TV screen
  951. >just as you open the door, she turns back at you again
  952. >“I...nevermind.“
  953. „What?“
  954. >“Nothing, forget it.“
  955. „Come on.“
  956. >“Nothing, really.“
  957. >you lower your right brown and raise your chin a bit, looking at her
  958. „...Oookay then. Bye?“
  959. >“Bye.“
  960. >and you're on your way
  961. >it doesn't take you a long time to get there by taxi
  962. >but on the way back, you decide to have a walk
  963. >partly because you're a cheapskate, partly because you wanna clear your head a bit before returning back to her
  964. >you did act like it was nothing, but you kinda miss that money
  965. >but at least you spent it on doing a good thing
  966. >hopefuly
  967. >...
  968. >but why do you even try so hard?
  969. >if she's really gonna leave one day and get herself caugh again?
  970. >though, sure as hell she won't leave now
  971. >at least not in upcoming week
  972. >maybe if she left after her feathers grow back as well, maybe she could actualy have a chance out there
  973. >we'll see that in the future
  974. >but now that you think of it, maybe going all the way back by foot wasn't the best idea
  975. >you're getting cold
  976. >should have at least get more clothing
  977. >but it's not that far from this point, you can do it
  978. >soon you're back at your door again and stepping inside
  979.  
  980.  
  981.  
  982.  
  983.  
  984. >just as you open the door, you can hear her changing positions fast
  985. „Hey!.. is everything alright?“
  986. >the movie is paused on a transitions of two frames somewhere at the start
  987. >“H-hi! Sure, everything's alright, I just… fell asleep out of nowhere and woke up just now.“
  988. >she's smiling awkwardly as if she's hiding something
  989. „You know, you're bad at lying. What's really up?“
  990. >“Nothing, really…“
  991. >you sit down on the couch next to her
  992. >as you get closer, she gets even more nervous and presses the blanket on herself even tighter
  993. „You're hiding something.“
  994. >“N-no I'm not. C-can you just leave for like a minute or two?“ she's blushing awkwardly
  995. >now you finally get it
  996. „...Oook then, now I get it, just hope you didn't left any mess on my couch in the process.“ you stand up to go to some other room
  997. >“How do you- I mean: I wasn't doing what you think!“
  998. >you're already standing in the kitchen, not hearing what she's saying
  999. >while at it, you look around for something to eat, so you grab an apple and take a bite
  1000. „Done?“ you open the door again and ask after you finish the apple
  1001. >“Did you seriously think I was going to continue now?“
  1002. „I dunno. Why even start?“
  1003. >“I have my needs. Didn't have time or mood for things like that the days before. And I didn't know when will be the next time I'll have enough privacy.“
  1004. „So you took the iniciative, alright… Just hope it wasn't the film that got you into the mood.“ you grin
  1005. >“No...honestly, I didn't even watch it, only the start. And I wasn't expecting you'll be back so soon.“
  1006. „Well, soon may not be the right term. It took me almost a whole hour.“
  1007. >“It didn't feel like that long. I mean,.. not the you know thingy, but the time you were gone… Like overally.“
  1008. >you just snicker
  1009. >it's funny how she's trying to dodge the topic, but accidentaly keeps getting back to it
  1010. „I know how you meant it. Let's just say I'll act like nothing happened, ok?“
  1011.  
  1012.  
  1013.  
  1014.  
  1015. >“Yeah,.. that would be great.“
  1016. „Anyway, since I'm back and the movie hasn't even started properly, I guess I'll have a seat too.“
  1017. >“Like, you're going to watch it too?“
  1018. „Sure, why not. It's quite a time since I've seen it.“
  1019. >“Aaaand are you sure it's exactly the right thing you wanna do?“
  1020. „Yup.“ you continue closer to the couch
  1021. >as you get closer and see her expression, you stop before sitting next to her
  1022. „...You actualy did leave a mess on the couch, did you?“
  1023. >she looks away, raises her chin and puckers her mouth a bit as if she's forcing herself to speak
  1024. >“...Maybe a bit...But it happened because of you! I mean, not like because of you like that but because you sat next to me and I had to act like nothing is happening and when I was sitting like that, I accidentaly rubbed a bit onto the couch, but that's all I swear!“
  1025. >you let out a snort of laugh and facepalm while she's looking at you with worried expression
  1026. „Come to think I though this would be a normal day when I woke up...“
  1027. >she's still silent, holding her shame inside
  1028. „Look, I'll clean it, but if there is some other surprise you're planning for me, just tell me now.“ you continue in more normal voice
  1029. >“No, there isn't...“
  1030. „Good.“ you hand her a cleaning tissue „I'll get a cleaning rag for the couch in the meanwhile.“
  1031. >before you close the bathroom door behind you, you add:
  1032. „I'll knock when I find it.“
  1033.  
  1034.  
  1035.  
  1036. >you purposely take your time in the bathroom, mainly to give her some time because you don't want to catch her off guard again
  1037. >on the way back you knock and after hearing „Come inside.“, you enter
  1038. >she's sitting on the other side of the couch
  1039. >and there's a small wet spot on the place she sat before
  1040. >“...I tried to clean it with the tissues, while you were in the bathroom.“ she mumbles, almost whispering, still full of shame
  1041. „That's ok, hope it'll come off.“ you start with cleaning
  1042. >it goes pretty well, since it didn't soak deep into the couch, but rather stayed mostly on the surface
  1043. „There. Guess now we can finally act like nothing happened, right?“
  1044. >“Right...“
  1045. >you leave with the rag to the bathroom again to wash it
  1046. >as you close the door behind you and continue to the sink, you look at the rag in your hand
  1047. >you can't help your curiosity, but to smell it
  1048. >and even though you were expecting some animal stench, it smells pretty normal
  1049. >if you used some of your imagination, you could even say it slightly resembles some candy
  1050. >wait what?
  1051. „What the fuck am I even doing? I'm sniffing a damn horsejuice, goddammit pull yourself together Anon.“ you say to yourself silently and throw the rag into the sink before turning around
  1052. >walking out of the bathroom door, you think about if you still want to see the movie with her
  1053. >on one hand, you have no other plans for today and you wouldn't mind seeing the movie, but on the other hand…
  1054. >what is on the other hand though?
  1055. >pretty much nothing
  1056. >because nothing happened after all
  1057. >you did say that both of you will act like nothing happened
  1058. >so you take your place next to her on the couch
  1059. „So um, do you mind if I play it from the start again?“
  1060. >“Nah, that's okay.“
