Apologies to anyone who linked to that image and was...extremely confused. This is the image that was supposed to be linked: https://ponerpics.org/images/1766779 However, I'm going to leave the original link intact because it's funny. "Anooooon, do I have to go?" >You look back at Sweetie Belle in irritation >She's walking several paces behind you, dragging her hooves "Yes, you do," you tell her for the umpteenth time >she kicks at a pebble and stares sulkily at the ground "Why, though?" she mutters, half to herself "I don't know, your sister says you need culture and refinement and stuff," you tell her >she kicks at the ground again and doesn't answer >to be honest, you do feel a little bad about making her do this >a three hour harpsichord lesson every Thursday, that's pretty brutal >you probably wouldn't have wanted to do it either, when you were a kid >and to be fair, you did kind of sign her up without telling her sister >but you couldn't help it, the foal has been driving you up the wall >and Rarity, that bitch >just dumping her little sister on you for the entire summer, while she goes off to Manehattan to do some kind of fashion shit >didn't even ask, just assumed you'd be cool with it >you used to make fun of Spike for being such a beta cuck, but damned if it's not impossible to say no to that mare when she gives you those bedroom eyes >you look over your shoulder >Sweetie Belle's fallen even further behind >you whistle at her, she reluctantly picks up the pace >will Rarity be mad when she finds out about this? >there's really no reason she should be >I mean, come on >harpsichord lessons with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? >that's like the opportunity of a lifetime, right? >and to be fair, she does always say that her sister needs refinement or whatever >naw, she won't be mad >Rarity loves that kind of fancy shit >when she gets home and finds out her little sister can play Concerto #12 or whatever the fuck at all her dinner parties now, she'll go ape shit for it >you'll probably be washing dried mare cum out of your pubes for a month >and anyway, if you don't get that filly out of the house for a couple hours a week there's a good chance you might actually kill her before the summer ends >she had her damn friends over the other day, they were running around your apartment doing their wacky crusader shit >a herd of elephants would have done less damage >ever seen what tiny horse hooves do to hardwood? >there's a security deposit you won't be getting back "Come on, damn it!" you shout >you immediately feel bad about raising your voice, but her dawdling is getting on your nerves "It's just a harpsichord lesson," you tell her, a little more gently. "Just do it and get it over with. How bad could it be?" >Sweetie Belle stares at the ground again >she's got that weird nervous look on her face she always gets whenever you bring up harpsichords or Mozart >something about it feels weird, but you push that feeling aside >you're already thinking about three whole hours of time to yourself >no tiny hooves scuffing up your floor, no noise, just hot pockets and vidya games >anyway, fuck it; you're already here >you stop outside the door >"Wolfgang A. Mozart" is printed on the glass in those fancy old-timey letters >you still can't believe you actually found this guy >you were under the impression that he had died in 1791 but nope, he's still around it looks like >famous long-dead Austrian composers and pastel cartoon horses walking around all over the place, what a fun century this is >anyway, whatever, you open the door "Ah, Sweetie Belle!" cries Mozart. "Aren't we looking just scrumptious today! Come on inside, have a seat at the harpsichord." >Sweetie Belle gives you one last pleading look, but you've already got hot pockets on the brain >reluctantly, she trots over to the harpsichord and jumps up "Mmm, that's it my little filly, have a seat right up here on Wolfy's lap..." >that Mozart really is kind of a weird guy >whatever though >you turn to leave >on your way out, you pause >some nagging, dim little alarm bell is still going off somewhere in the back of your mind >you turn around >Sweetie Belle is sitting with Mozart at the harpsichord >she's staring off at nothing, looking dejected and terrified >Mozart turns and gives you the creepiest look you've ever seen "Close the door," he says. (In a weird and creepy bit of serendipity, when I originally posted this green the text box had exactly 1791 characters remaining. Mozart died in 1791.)
