>You are Anonfilly >And today, you will finally get some freedom >You had asked Twilight if you could go see the new Daring Do film that had just come out >All by yourself >Unsurprisingly, she was reluctant. But ultimately, she agreed >Soon, you would be on your own >Just as soon as she finished making sure you were "prepared" >"Okay, uh, you remember how to get there, right?" "Yes, Twilight..." >"You know not to take any of the back roads, and to stay where other ponies can see you?" "Yes, I know." >"And if anyone tries to get you to come with them, you know what to do, right?" "Don't go with them, duh." >She frowns >"Anon, staying safe is not a joke. This is serious." >You roll your eyes "I know how to take care of myself, Twilight. I'm a grown ass man." >She gives you a strange look >"Well, you aren't anymore, and I don't want anything to happen to you..." >Damn, she is overprotective "Are we good?" >She thinks for a while >"You have the bits for the ticket?" >You shake your saddle bags, the coins jingling in them >"Okay, good..." "So, can I go now?" >She bites her lip >"J-just one more thing" >Her horn glows for a second, and a small magic bolt zaps your flank >It doesn't hurt, but it makes you jump "Ow, what the-" >You catch yourself, don't want to screw this up by cursing at her "-what was that?" >"Just a little spell for my sanity. So that I can find you in case something does go wrong." "Nothing is going to happen, Twilight. I'll be fine." >Finally, she looks satisfied with herself >"Okay Anon, I trust you." >She kisses you on the cheek >"Have fun at the movies, and please be home for dinner!" >You give her a smile "Bye Twilight, see you later!" >You trot out of the castle door, and down the streets of Ponyville, off to the movies >A mischievous smile on your face the whole way >You arrive at the theater, and wait in line for your ticket >Seemed like a standard turnout, not too many ponies around >After a few minutes, it was your turn >You step up to the ticket booth, and open your saddle bag "One ticket for the new Daring Do, please!" >You give your best "adorable filly smile" >"Aww, aren't you just precious." >She looks around >"Are your parents nearby?" >Damn, play it cool. You've got this "My mommy let me come all on my own! She's the princess of friendship, so if she thinks I'm ready, then I must be!" >She suddenly looks surprised >"P-princess Twilight Sparkle is your mother?" >You nod >"Well, I shouldn't worry then. I'm sure she has everything under control." >You look at her expectantly >"Oh, right! That'll be eight bits, sweetie." >You lay the bits on the counter, and she hands you your ticket "Thanks!" >You give her another smile as you walk in, just for good measure >Inside the theater there is a small concession stand, and a hallway with all of the movie rooms >You decide you'd rather not get ripped off, and skip the concessions >Now for the fun part >You walk down the hall, reading the names of all the other movies that are playing >Daring Do, Daring Do, Daring Do... yeah, they hyped this up big time >Power Poines, nah >Hey, here we go. An R-rated film! >"A-mare-ican Psycho" "Fucking hell" >After groaning at the terrible horse pun, you decide this is your best bet >You look around to make sure nobody is watching, and carefully sneak your way in >The movie has already started, and the room is dark >Perfect >Everyone's attention is on the film, so they don't notice you climbing up to the back of the room >You take a seat and try to catch up on the film >Looks like it's basically the same concept as the version you know, just... horseified >You watch the movie for a while >It's actually a lot tamer than what you remember >You aren't really surprised, most stuff in Equestria is much less explicit than back home >It's more like a PG-13 film now, but whatever. You'll take it >Currently, Patrick- er, "Patty Blossom", is explaining her taste in music >Oh shit, here comes the dubs part! >You hope those fuckers didn't leave that out >She walks up to the record player, and goes to turn it on >Your tail swishes around excitedly >Here it comes! >Suddenly, the film cuts out, and the room gets brighter >Dammit >"We're sorry for the inconvenience, and will have the film back on shortly. Thank you for your patience." "Ugh" >You roll your eyes. Leave it to the ponies to screw things up >Oh shit, the lights >You crouch down in your seat, hoping not to be seen >Suddenly, the doors barge open, and you hear ponies gasping >"P-princess?" >Your heart skips a beat >There aren't any other princesses you're not aware of, are there? >"Anon!" "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" >You curse silently to yourself, slipping out of your seat and trying to stay hidden >You can't see what's going on in the front >You stay down, hoping she won't find you >Your hopes are dashed as you feel a tug on your ear "Aaah, ow!" >"I can't believe you, Anon. And after I put so much trust in you, too!" >"Not only are you far too young to be watching a film like this, but you also broke the law by sneaking in here!" "Too young? I'm like thirty ye- aaah!" >She pulls on your ear with her magic again, dragging you out into the walkway >"I don't want to hear any of your excuses, you know better than this!" >"Now I'm glad I put that tracking spell on you." >So that's what that was. Shit >"I thought I was overreacting. I thought I would come down here and find you right where you should be, and feel bad for doubting you... But I guess I was wrong." >She pulls again, harder, as she leads you down the walkway "Ow! T-twilight, you're hurting me!" >"You're hurting me too, Anon... I trusted you..." >Tears fill your eyes, both from the pain in your ear, and from Twilights tirade >You can clearly hear the sadness in her voice, and can't help but feel like shit >"But now I know better... You won't be allowed to do anything like this for a long time, and I am going to keep a closer eye on you from now on." >"It's going to take a lot of work to get me to trust you like this again." "I-I'm sorry..." >Damn, you actually mean it >"You're going to have to prove that to me, Anon." >She pulls you out through the front of the theater, past the ticket salespony >She has a look of terror in her eyes >"Oh my, P-princess! I'm sorry, I should have known better than to let her in on her own!" >"No, don't worry. I'm the one who should have known better..." >That comment felt like a knife to your heart >You have never felt this bad about breaking someone's trust in your life >She lets go of your ear, and you both walk silently home >You cry the whole way, regretting every choice you made today
