"Buh...mah babbehs gone fowevah..." >You break down into sobs >You have only moved to eat or use your litterbox >Lightning sighs and curls up with you "Dey was mah babbehs, too..." >You look up at him with tear-filled eyes >Your entire world was shattered by the humans >They took your babies and destroyed your family "Wiwy know...buh...we was good fwuffies...why dey do dis?" "Wightning not know...buh pwease...jus west. Feew bettah tomowwow." >You take your special friend's advice and try to fall asleep >The lights in your room have been off for a while >You know it's been sleepy-time for a while, but you haven't felt like sleeping >Regardless, you can do little to fight it as you slowly fade into sleep >You wake up to the human who took your babies filling your food and water dish "Hey, girl...I know you're sad but you need to eat. I'm sorry for taking your babies, but you don't understand..." "Why take babbehs...? Wan babbehs back..." "I'm sorry. They'll have good lives." >You want to believe him, but how can you? >He took them away from you >You just want to take the longest sleep >You eat some food and cry for a bit >That's when you see your water bowl "Marcus! MARCUS! GET IN HERE!" "What is it!? Oh, no..." >You are Anon >You've just discovered an unconscious Lily, facedown in her water bowl >Lightning's cries for help alerted you "Why speshuw fwend no move...? Pwease wake up, Wiwy..." "What should we do?" "Try CPR...be gentle about it." >You push on Lily's chest a few times >She coughs up mouthfuls of water and regains consciousness "Lily, what happened?" "Babbehs...babbehs gone...nu wan be awive..." "Jesus...maybe this wasn't a good idea, Marcus..." "You might be right, but we do this all the time with the normal ones." "Yeah, but they're dumber than a bag of retarded rocks." >Regular fluffies would be sad for a day, tops >It had nearly been two when you found Lily >Part of you wants to stop this, but part of you wants to at least try >Alicorns are so rare that there are no breeders in the couuntry >You could be the first to isolate the gene >You imagine selling off purebred Alicorns >That's enough for you >You decide that the best way to go about this is resetting the fluffies "Marcus...we gotta reset them." "What? Why?" "Think about it. If we give the babies back, we'll never be able to sell them." >He thinks for a moment "And if we don't, this happens...you're right. Grab a stun gun." >You grab one from the utility closet >You line all three Alicorns up and turn the stun gun on "Wha dat...why hoomans-" >ZAP, ZAP, ZAP >You begin reprogramming the Alicorns >They may be smart, but they're still basically just bags of genetic coding "Your name is Lightning. This is your special friend Lily." >You do the same for Lily and Mint >You're sure to finish up by making a point about how their babies will have to go away after a while "That should hopefully do it... "Hopefully?" "Well...I've never reset an Alicorn before. Might work, might not. We'll wait and see." >You give all of them one week off >The foals still need about a week or two to reach maturity >You'll breed Starsplash with a few of them, just to be safe >You're still trying to figure out how to go about breeding the stallions >Whatever. You can think about that after this session >You decide against using Lightning for both mares and decide to do the same as before >You set Light up with Lily and Starsplash up with Mint "ENF! ENF! ENF!..." "Well...at least they don't have anything against this...maybe the reset worked." >You take some notes on the breeding charts and move on to the rest of your duties >You clean the regular cages and check on the foals "Let's see...three and a half weeks. Not long now." "Pway? New fwend? Wat you name?" >At least they don't seem to remember being taken >Even an Alicorn foal must not remember much of its first two weeks, you guess "Alright...cages, foals...food...all done. Hey, Marcus, good news, they still want to breed." >He takes this well >Now all you can do is wait for the next litter >And hope that nothing goes wrong this time
