>You are Anon
>It has been several months since the accident
>She said it couldn't be reversed
>She said 'might as well make the best of things'
>You can barely remember your former human self
>She keeps you locked up here in her crystal castle on the edge of town
>You are not allowed to leave ever because of suspicion
>To pass time, she frequently experiments on you because your genetic structure differs from that of a normal pony
>Perhaps you still had some humanity left?
>After months of tests you started to notice a more malicious intent in her eyes when you lay down on that cold operating bed
>Was she enjoying this?
>Regardless, being trapped here has left you with a sense of dread and depression
>What is even the point of life if you can't live it to its fullest?
>There has been no contact with the outside world and cabin fever is beginning to settle in
>If you don't see another living creature aside from that purple bitch and her pet, you're going to flip shit
>But today's going to be different
>Today you're going to venture out because fuck what Twilight says
>It is around noon on a beautiful summer day as you stare out the window at all the colorful equines enjoying the day
>For once, Twilight is out at a conference in Canterlot meaning this might be your one and only chance for a while
>"Now Anon, I don't want you leaving the castle or causing any trouble while I'm gone..."
>Her words echoed through your mind
>It's not like she's going to know you left anyway
>You walk over to your nightstand, pull out a bobby-pin from the drawer and straighten it out to fit in a lock
>You insert the end into the keyhole and begin twisting until an audible 'click' sound is heard
>Freedom!
>You slowly open the door and check your peripherals to make sure her lackey isn't around
>Cautiously, you step out and begin trotting to the stairs
>After six flights of stairs and running through multiple hallways you reach the grand door and give it a gentle shove
>The cool breeze brushes up against your charcoal mane and green fur
>You set off on your adventure to...
>Actually, where did you want to go?
>Twilight always talks about that shop at the center of town, the one shaped like a gingerbread house
>Anywhere is good however, so you begin walking in the general direction of town square
>A lot of passerby are giving you awkward looks
>That's expected, you guess, since no one's seen you before
>After rounding a few corners you see it and briskly jog over to it
>Upon opening the door, you spot a pink mare in the back kitchen quickly turn her head
>"Hello, new friend!!!" she says as she bolts over to your position with much enthusiasm
>"I've never seen you around here before, what's your name!? Where do you come from!? Why is your cutie mark a question mark!?..."
>She just won't stop, god damn
>You cut her off before she talks your ear off
"I'm Anon, I'm from...one town over, and I'm not sure why I have this cutie mark to tell you the truth."
>"That's strange, I know somepony by the name of Anon who's the exact same shade of green living in Manehattan, you wouldn't happen to be her, would you?" She smiles ear to ear
"Uh...no?  I think."
>"Awwww, well if there's anything you need, let me know!"
"Do you have anything to eat around here?"
>What a dumb fucking question
>"Absolutely! And since you're new here, I'll make you a special dish!"
"Oh sweet, what is-"
>Before you could finish your sentence she brings out an ice cream dish decorated with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and caramel
>"This one's on the house!"
>You begin chowing down on this frozen monstrosity
>The one time you actually felt happy and free
>...
>...
>...
>As you exit Sugarcube Corner you begin to see the sun drift to the west
>Were you really in there that long?
>Continuing through town you spot three young fillies about your age run towards you
>"Look girls, I told ya we haven't seen her before" shouted the red-maned one
>You stop and look at the three now circled around you looking quizzically
>"Hi, I'm Apple Bloom, this is Sweetie Belle, and that's Scootaloo." she said motioning to the other two around you
>"We haven't seen you around these parts.  Are you new?"
"Y-yeah, I'm traveling with family.  My name's Anon."
>Hopefully that lie wasn't too obvious
>"Well we're always looking to meet new ponies. Do you want to come hang out with us at our treehouse?
>She begins grinning warmly
>Considering this is a one time opportunity might as well enjoy it
"Okay, where to?"
>You follow them to the edge of Ponyville near the orchard and see a small, low-level treehouse on one of the trees
>"Here we are, our base of operations!" Apple Bloom speaks
>Looking around you see a table, a podium and red banners with a yellow silhouette of a foal
>The orange one with the derpy wings takes to the podium, Scootaloo
>"Alright team, today we're going to get our cutie marks in tree climbing!"
>Literally what
>"Your welcome to join us Anon, even if you already have your cutie mark." said Sweetie Belle as she eyes your flank looking confused
>"What does it mean exactly?"
"I think it means I'm good at hiding my identity, or something like that."
>"Oh so like a superhero?"
"Yes, let's go with that."
>The four of you walk down the ramp and to the nearest large tree not far away
>"Let's get climbing!" they all shout in unison
>Surprisingly, they're actually climbing a tree with hooves
>How is that even possible
>"Come on, Anon, are you scared?" Scootaloo said already a few branches up
"N-no." You said embarrassed
>You begin taking to the tree and gripping the bark with your hooves
>This shit is hard as fuck 
>Branch after branch you quickly surpass them
>Thinking back to your days as a human, you remember climbing trees with your friends back in the day and how good you were at it
>It felt so nostalgic doing this again
>Reaching the highest possible branch you look out over Ponyville and the setting sun
>This truly was the most peaceful moment in your life since you came to this world
>You rest your back on the tree's spine and gaze at the horizon
>Exhaustion and dizziness suddenly overtakes you and you feel yourself sliding off the edge
>Before you know it, you're plummeting towards the ground
