"SHHHIIII--" >Fluttershy tackles you to the ground, sending the tin and its contents everywhere. "DON'T TOUCH THE DOOR, I -JUST- REPAIRED IT!" >She shakes you. >"WE DON'T HAVE TIME, WE HAVE TO GO, NOW!" >Fluttershy tries to drag you away from your home. >"Please! Please, Anon!" >Grab onto your door frame and refuse to let go. >The pegasus starts panicking. >"She's coming!" >Loosen your grip and narrow your eyes at the mare. "...Who?" >"T-twilight!" >Your heart skips a beat. "Oh no." >Scramble to your feet and sprint into your house, looking for the calender. "No no no no no--" >Find it and stare in horror at today. >Tuesday. >' TWILIGHT TIME. ' >Storming back out the house, you grab Fluttershy and swing her over your shoulder. >Charge down the path out of Ponyville towards the 'safe-house'. >"Hurry! I can see her!" >"HEY! GUYS! WAIT UP!" "Shitshitshitshit." >"I GOT A NEW SPELL I WANNA TRY OUT!" "SHITSHITSHITSHIT." >"Faster, Anon, faster!" "I'M GOING AS FAST AS I CAN, WOMAN." >The shed is in sight. >A sign on the door fills you with hope. >' no nerds allowed ' >Your legs piston as hard as they can, propelling you towards sanctuary. >A flash of violet reveals the grinning face of an alicorn stood before the front of the shed. >You stagger to a halt, fear coursing through you. >Fluttershy starts crying. >"Heeey, guys!" >Start making peace with your past regrets. >"So I was just reading a book at the old castle!" >Fluttershy whimpers in your ear, begging for it to end quickly. >"And I saw this really interesting spell!" >You feel a single tear roll down your cheek as you clutch Fluttershy to your chest; cradling her trembling body and trying to console her in what could be her final moments. >"I just wanna experiment and I know you guys like to help me with this stuff." >Give her a curt nod. "Just get it over with." >She giggles and clops her front hooves together. >"Oooh this is gonna be so much fun!" >Her horn charges up as she points it at you. >Fluttershy looks up at you, tears in her eyes. >"I-I love you, Anon." "Dork." >Twilight fires. >Sit up, gasping for breath. >Your mind is reeling and you feel shaky all over. >Did you just dream all that? >Something stirs next to you. >Look down and see Fluttershy, curled up against your body. >Grunt and stand up, stretching. >From the looks of things, you're in a field outside Ponyville. >Blink a few times and turn around. >Your shed/safe-house is sitting untouched a few metres from you. >With a confused frown, you nudge Fluttershy with your foot. "Hey, Twilight's gone, get up." >"Mmm... Tickle my pus--" "UP." >Fluttershy yelps and stands to attention. >"O-oh, hello, Anon." >She freezes, panic in her eyes. >"Wh-where's Twilight?" "I just said; gone." >Fluttershy looks around the area. >Then at her front hoof. >Then at her mane. >Then between her legs. >"I don't feel any different." "Yeah, me neither. Do I -look- different?" >"No; still perfectly sex-able." "Gross, but good." >Puff out your cheeks and scratch your stubble. "I guess we'd better go home then." >Head off towards your house. >Fluttershy tags along. "That wasn't in invitation." >She gives you a haughty look. >"I knocked over your honey and applejuice, so it's only fair I pay you back~" "I'm not having se-- ...'choo mean, 'honey and applejuice'?!" >Before Fluttershy can answer, your house comes into view. >... >You rub your eyes with a finger and thumb. >Look down at Fluttershy. >She seems dumbfounded, and looks from you to your house. >A human sit outside it, unscrewing your ruined door. "This is--" >"She made two Anons?!" >Fluttershy starts hyperventilating. >Slap her. >She stops. >Then sees Anon #2. >And starts again. >You ignore her and let her writhe around on the floor. >A thought crosses your mind, and you check your watch. >The hands are spinning around at a ridiculous speed in random directions. >Look back up at the other human. "Mother fucker." >Fluttershy manages to regain control of herself and stand back up. >"So umm, I was just having a panic attack there..." "Yep." >"Could you not even give me a hug?" "Fluttershy." >Turn to her. "I think we have far bigger concerns right now." >She pulls a pouty face. >"Like what?" >Show her your watch. >Point at 'yourself', who hasn't noticed you both yet. "We're living in the past, Fluttershy." >"You should move on. It's not healthy to do that." >Stare at her. >She gives you a small grin. "If that wasn't so adorable I'd beat the shit out of you." >Pick her up. >"O-Oh my~" "Shut up. We have to think about this." >"I'd rather think about you~" "You know what I like? I like it when you get scared of Twilight; it's the only time you knock this shit off." >"Well maybe if you'd just give me a chance this wouldn't happen." "Shut up." >"No!" >"Anon!" "What." >"Th-that wasn't me." >... "Shit." >Hurl Fluttershy into a bush and dive in after her, resulting in her being under your body. >"A-Anon! I..." >Press a hand against her mouth. >"Helloo, Anon!" >Fluttershy tenses up at the voice. >You both shift around and peer out of a hole in the bush. >'Fluttershy' flies overhead towards Anon. >Your Flutters watches, entranced. >"Th-that was this morning!" "Yeah..." >"...Anon?" "What." >"Did I always have such a large, um, behind?" >Take the opportunity to glance back at Fluttershy's plump ass, sat on the ground. >Unf~ "Yeah, sure." >You shush her again and the pair of you watch your past selves argue. >PastAnon throws a handful of screws at PasterShy, who squeaks and flies off into town. >"That was mean, Anon." "I don't care." >"You do really..." "Nah." >"I'm your only friend~" "Not the right time, Fluttershy." >"It's just you and me in this bush~" "The fabric of spacetime has been broken so that we may exist here, and you want to fuck in a bush." >"I never mentioned fucking~" "Sonofa-- look, I don't know what the hell to do, so let's just camp out here and wait this out, okay?" >Fluttershy makes herself comfortable. >In your lap. >"Sounds good to me!" >Roll your eyes and go back to watching yourself. >"AAAAANOOON!" "Oh shit, this is it." >Fluttershy stops dozing in your lap, her legs splayed out in all directions, and yawns. >"What did I miss?" "It's happening." >"The Zebras are taking over the banks?" "No, the other happening." >She peers out of the bush. >PasterShy is hurtling towards PastAnon. >She tackles him and starts screaming. >Looking behind them, you see Twilight Sparkle galloping in their direction. "This is so trippy..." >"..." "Fluttershy?" >"We look kind of cute together." >Let out a weary sigh. >"Why don't you move in with me, Anon?" "Shut up, Fluttershy." >"No, I'm serious." >She turns herself around in your lap, peering up at you. >"It's nicer than your home, and I have a guest room! We could be--" >She squeals happily. >"Roomies!" >Glare at her. >How dare she suggest you save money and live with someone who can cook, clean, and look after you. "Stupidest thing I ever heard." >"Hm. Your loss." >She returns to looking at your house. >PastAnon sprints out the front door, swiping the pegasus up as he passes her. >"Your arms feel so safe~" "What exactly do you hope to accomplish by saying stuff like that?" >"If it helps you understand just how much I adore you the it's worth it." "Busting out the fancy words, are you?" >Start laughing at her. >She stomps on your foot. >Stop laughing at her. >Push her off your lap. >"Let's just follow ourselves..." >Fluttershy storms out of the bush, taking the lead. >You both stay out of sight as you follow yourselves and Twilight. >"HEY! GUYS! WAIT UP!" "Getting close to the shack now..." >Your companion tugs on your pants leg and points at some trees. >Nodding, you hurry on over and use the trunks as cover. >You can see the safe-house from here, as well as the other human and pegasus. >You're holding that pony pretty tight there. >Glance to the side. >The pony in question is chewing her bottom lip and watching herself get held by you. >Twilight teleports to the front of the shack, grinning triumphantly. "This is it." >Fluttershy just nods. >You watch as your past self holds PasterShy close, then takes the magic blast straight to the body. >He blinks out of reality, taking his little yellow pony with him. >Twilight cheers to herself. >When she realises there is no one there to congratulate her on a successful spell, she frowns. >"...Darn it..." >Twilight sighs and starts slowly walking down the path back to Ponyville. "Psst." >Fluttershy looks at you. >Motion at Twilight, then at both you and her. >She taps her chin, then nods. >Run a hand through your hair and take a deep breath before stepping out of the tree line. "HEY! TWILIGHT!" >"Well, I'd say it was a fun day, wouldn't you?" >Fluttershy gives you a cup of tea. >Accept it and peer into it, checking for any white pills at the bottom. >All clear. >Down it and lick your lips. "Kind of, sure." >"So umm, w-want to move in with me?" "Nope." >"Aww..." "What?" >"Well, you know... I thought that since we went on an adventure and all..." "We got sent back in time, followed ourselves, then got sent back to the future." >Sip your tea. "Honestly, it was kinda boring." >Frown at this. "Which is really annoying, since you'd think that time travel would inherently be more entertaining." >Shrug and sip some more tea. "Ah well. It's in the past." >Chuckle at your quip. >Fluttershy gives you a sad look. "Oh come on, I wouldn't have moved in with you anyway. Why would an afternoon in the past of the morning of today change that?" >Damn that was confusing. >"It's just that normally after a little adventure there are, um, 'bonds' that are strengthened..." >... "...You totally wanted to have sex in that bush, didn't you." >"It would have been so romantic!" "Ugh. You're so predictable." >She sighs, raising her own teacup to her lips and taking a long sip. >... >"So what are you going to do now?" "Well--" >A violet flash appears in the middle of the room. >Twilight Sparkle, with 2 cybernetic limbs, a flowing red cape, an eye-patch, and a jetpack where her wings once were, smiles at you both. >"Hey guys." >Drop your teacup. >Fluttershy faints. >"It's Twilight Time." The End.
